Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Avalokitesvara Weeps
Bianzhou was originally an inconspicuous place. It became famous because twenty years ago there was a wimp who was so poor that he went crazy and finally killed an official and hanged himself. The confidant Qiao Wan gave birth to Xiaoqingfeng in Bianzhou and lived in seclusion.Since these two well-known figures lived in seclusion in Bianzhou, Bianzhou has suddenly become lively, such as Xiaoqiao Restaurant, Zijinbuzhuang, Wulin Inn, Xianlv Teahouse and other shops have sprung up, and the business is booming. , there are many young people in the rivers and lakes who like to come here for drinking, boxing, and sightseeing. They look forward to meeting those two big men on the way by chance and making out.But Xiao Zijin and Qiao Wanyu have been living in seclusion until now. I don't know if it's because the heroes are not only good at fighting for justice, but also good at hide-and-seek, or because they are very lucky. Where does he live in seclusion on Xiaoqing Peak?
But after the fifteenth of this month, this secret will no longer be a secret.
Xiao Zijin, who has been in love with Qiao Wanyu for ten years, is finally going to marry Qiao Wanyu in Xiaoqing Peak. He also sends a martial arts post, inviting fellow martial artists to congratulate her and drink a lot of wedding wine.No wonder Xiao Zijin was so happy. He was originally a child of an aristocratic family. He liked lively scenes since he was a child, and his personality was very willful.It's just that after Li Xiangyi's death, Qiao Wanyu committed suicide several times, and he was also depressed for a long time. As he got older, his behavior became more stable, and he was no longer self-willed in the past. Now he is only in his mid-thirties before marrying a beautiful lady. No wonder he is in a mood Congratulations, let's have a great time.

1. How much lotus root and silk are there?Lian Xin knows who is suffering?
Ding ding dong ding ding dong ding ding ding dong
The sound of knocking could not be heard in the lotus building with auspicious patterns. Li Lianhua's head was covered with sawdust, and she was very focused on polishing the surface of the repaired wooden wall, and then applying a layer of varnish.The originally spacious wooden building was now full of sawdust, iron nails and rags, very messy.
There are birds chirping outside the window, the sound is very crisp.He looked at the bird outside the window, it was a waxwing, it paused for a moment, then flapped its wings and flew away. Autumn is deep, and soon even birds will be rare.
Li Xiaohua, hurry up, hurry up.
Someone moved his chair and sat outside the gate, eating a roast chicken with great interest. The golden-yellow and tender roast chicken is even more mouth-watering under the sunlight in late autumn. What's more, that person also moved Li Lianhua's table out. There is a bottle of very famous wine called grapes.
This vicious guest who moved other people's tables and chairs out to sit, and put fine wine on the table but only poured it into a wine glass, is of course the eldest son of Jianghu Shangshang's family, Fang Sick.Don't underestimate the roast chicken and the bottle of wine he brought. The roast chicken is said to be the offspring of snow mountain grouse and reed chicken. The bottle of fine wine is a treasure from the Western Regions, a gift from the imperial court to the Fang family. Fang Duobing brought two delicacies to visit his old friends. Of course, both the fine wine and the roast chicken went into his own stomach. He was just here to borrow Li Lianhua only has a table and a chair.
Ah, Li Lianhua was watching the birds, but when she heard the words, she turned her head and looked at the roast chicken that was riddled with holes with regret: It's almost ready, I was already hungry, but when I looked at your chicken, I suddenly felt uneasy. hungry.
Fang Duobing took a big bite of the chicken leg and asked with great enjoyment: Why aren't you hungry?
Li Lianhua sighed: "If you bring a whole chicken, that's fine. This chicken is made to look like a dog's gnaw. How can people be in the mood?"
Fang Duoxing didn't get angry this time, he ate meat and drank with a smile: Really?I knew a long time ago that Li Xiaohua's words were absolutely unbelievable.
Li Lianhua sighed again: You have become smart again.
Fang Duobing drank loudly: Xiao Zijin and Qiao Wanyu's big wedding will be held five days later. My family received a wedding invitation, so Mr. Fang will send a red envelope. Will you go to Lianhua?That little girl surnamed Su who winks at you will definitely be there.In fact, I really can't figure it out. In terms of appearance, this young man is weaker and more handsome than you. In terms of temperament, this young man is more gentle and elegant than you. In terms of demeanor, this young man is always elegant, and he never pretends to be stupid. He is honest, honest, sincere and reliable. Girls like to wink at your face, it's really weird
Li Lianhua gently shook the sawdust on her sleeves, and smiled slightly: Because I am more famous than you.
Fang Duobing choked on a mouthful of chicken, and stared: This is because you are more famous than me. It is indeed a strange and weird thing. Dead lotus, Li Xiaohua, you'd better come with me to the big wedding in five days , This is my master's meaning, if you don't go, I will tie you up.
Li Lianhua looked at him in surprise: What does your master mean?
Fang sickly looked at him sideways: you don't understand?
Li Lianhua immediately shook her head: Of course I don't understand.
Fang's master is well pampered, has close contacts with high officials and nobles in the court, and usually doesn't care about the affairs of the world.
you forgot?I have a cute little aunt who also likes to wink at you Fang Duoxing and said with a smile, although last time you helped her see a doctor and caused her to vomit and diarrhea for three months, she didn't blame you.
Li Lianhua was taken aback: ah
Fang Sickly said leisurely: My master also thinks that my aunt is not young, and it is rare for someone to make her fall in love at first sight, so he intends to recruit you to be my little uncle.This time Xiao Zijin's wedding, for his sake, my master will also go, and ask me to tie you up and let him take a closer look
Li Lianhua immediately shook her head: It's so inappropriate, it's very inappropriate.
Fang Duoxing continued to drink and eat meat in a very happy mood: In fact, although my aunt is delicate, contrived and boring, she is indeed very beautiful
Li Lianhua shook her head again, and smiled suddenly: Actually, I would have gone to Daxia Xiao's wedding, but it was definitely not to be your uncle.
Fang Duo was a bit surprised that he was ill, so he stopped his glass and said, "Will you go?"
Li Lianhua said sternly: Not only will he go, but he will also give a big gift.
Fang Duoxing looked him up and down, really?
Li Lianhua nodded: Really.
Fang Duo said sickly: I believe you are the only ghost.
Bianzhou, Baicaopo, Yexia Xiaozhu.
It was late autumn at this time, the grass on the Baicao Slope of Xiaoqing Peak was almost yellowish, and the mountain wind was howling. Although the wedding was about to be a little bit happy, it was still quite desolate.A few wisps of black smoke dissipated in the mountain wind, and dots of paper embers with sparks flew high with the wind in an instant, hopping to the depths of the sky. Going to the grave.
It was dusk, and there was a stone forest not far from the gate of Yexia Xiaozhu on Baicaopo. In the stone forest, there was a large pool with unfathomable depth. Next to the pool stood a simple stone tablet, behind which was an earth mound.
The unburnt papers in front of the stele were still falling, and the fireworks in front of the grave were still on. The two knelt side by side in front of the grave, silent, as if they had been kneeling for a long time.The two were a man and a woman. The man was dressed in a purple robe, tall and slender, with a handsome face and bright eyes, quite intimidating; the woman was dressed in white, with a graceful figure, her black hair tied into a bun, Wearing gold and silver ornaments, but inserted a white flower on the sideburns.
These two people are Zipao Xuantian Xiao Zijin who is about to get married in five days and Li Xiangyi's confidante Qiao Wanyu. What they worship is Li Xiangyi's tomb, and they knelt side by side in front of the tomb for half an hour. .The two of them didn't speak, they just quietly looked at the seven characters of the tomb of their best friend Li Xiangyi on the stele, lost in thought.
It has been almost ten years. After kneeling for a long time, Qiao Wanyu finally said slowly, it has been ten years.Her face is elegant and dignified, not very charming, but she has a gentle and pure beauty, her tone of voice can't tell whether it's sad or happy, she seems very dazed.
Xiao Zijin slowly stood up from the grave, and shook his robe: In the past ten years, between you and me, we have never done anything wrong to him.
Qiao Wansheng nodded, but still knelt in front of Li Xiangyi's grave, lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.Xiao Zijin stretched out his hand to help her up, and the two accompanied each other, walked slowly back to Yexia Xiaozhu, and slowly closed the door.
Xiao Zijin and Li Xiangyi met twelve years ago. At that time, Li Xiangyi was sixteen years old and he was twenty-two. At that time, Di Feisheng had not yet formed the Golden Luan League, Jianghu Anyi, he, Li Xiangyi, and Shangudao who later became the second master of the Sigu Sect The three became sworn brothers, often traveling in mountains and rivers, drinking and competing in martial arts, and spent a period of youthful and frivolous years.Later, the sound of flute caused harm to the Jianghu, and Li Xiangyi was not only good at martial arts, but also extremely intelligent, and his influence in the Jianghu was growing day by day. He and Shan Gudao gradually became the assistants of the little brothers.A few years later, Shangudao died in the battle of Songlin, and Li Xiangyi fell into the sea and disappeared.He helped Qiao Wansheng back to Yexia Xiaozhu. The house was already decorated with lights and festoons, and the decoration was joyous, not as bleak as outside the door.
Glancing at Qiao Wan's dark eyes, Xiao Zijin suddenly asked: Still can't forget him?
Qiao Wanyu trembled slightly, and after a while, she whispered: I don't know.
Xiao Zijin was not surprised, turned around and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, the mountain wind made his clothes and hair flutter, only to hear Qiao Wanyu say quietly behind him: I only know that I am sorry for you.
marry me.Xiao Zijin said, one day, you will forget him, and you did not feel sorry for him.
Qiao Wanyu smiled slightly: I have already promised to marry you, um, we did not let him down.
Xiao Zijin turned around and put her hand on her shoulder: You are an open-minded woman, don't care what other people say, after five days, I want the world to know that in this life, you and I will grow old together and never separate.
Qiao Wansheng nodded, and walked slowly to the window to join him. The sun was setting outside the window, and the trees and autumn grass were all dyed golden, very warm and harmonious.
On August 12th, there were three days left before Xiao Zijin and Qiao Wanyu's wedding.The Xiaoqing Peak in Bianzhou is already very lively. Xiaoqiao Restaurant, Wulin Inn, Xianlv Teahouse and other places are already overcrowded. Wulin people who have nowhere to sleep inevitably hang up ropes and lie down on them to sleep.Since some people sleep with a horizontal rope, some people must be very dissatisfied and lie on the opposite side of the horizontal rope with two maces lying on the ground to sleep.Since some people sleep on mace, it is inevitable that some people sleep on plum blossom piles.Some people sleep upside down, some sleep on treetops as thin as chopsticks, some sleep on the water, and some sleep on boulders, and when they wake up the next day, the boulders are turned into gravels by him, etc., strange sleep It can be seen everywhere, the most sensational one is sleeping on a spider's web, and someone who sticks his knife upside down on the ground and sleeps directly on the tip of the knife, but we don't know if this rumor is true or not
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing came in Fang's carriage on August 11th, so they slept on the bed in Room 1 of Tianzi in the Wulin Inn.There were originally guests in that room, but he was scared out of his wits by Fang Duobing's ability to insert the thin paper into the wooden table with one hand like a knife, and then he pulled out the fifty-two silver note that was inserted into the wooden table and ran as fast as a rabbit. .Fang Duobing later found out that this person was not here to attend Xiao Zijin's wedding, but a businessman passing by Bianzhou.
There are four best and most comfortable rooms in the Wulin Inn, all of which are called Tianzi No. 1.Li Lianhua lives in the room on the left, Fang Duo lives in the second room from the left, and Su Xiaoyu lives in the first room on the right, and the second room on the right is the famous doctor Ruyan Shenzhen Guan He Mengguan.Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua met Su Xiaoyu at dinner, and then got acquainted with Guan Hemeng. Although they lived next door, Fang Duobing felt that this jealous Jianghu Junyan didn't like Li Lianhua. He was very curious.
At this moment, the four of them were sitting in Li Lianhua's room drinking together.After Su Xiaoyan changed back into women's clothing, she was not very charming, she was tall and thin.Fang Duoxing selfishly thinks that she is much more handsome in men's clothes, no wonder she looks a lot like a man.Guan He Mengying is tall and straight, but she is not good at talking and laughing. She is very serious and rigorous, which is very different from Li Lianhua.
Senior Li, I accepted a patient fifteen days ago.After Guan Hemeng and Li Lianhua got acquainted, they wanted to discuss medical skills as soon as they opened their mouths. Fang Sickly listened patiently, but he saw Su Xiaowan's eyes flickering between the two men. He couldn't help but secretly laughed.
Guan Hemeng said: The patient was weak due to blood deficiency. He said that he saw ghosts day by day, palpitations and palpitations, and he couldn't sleep at night. Then he killed someone with a knife, very manic.I decocted with yellow lotus, blue juice, Ophiopogon japonicus, capillary, Haijinsha, purple ginseng, Pulsatilla, Baiwei, white fresh skin, gentian, rhubarb, and peony for several days, but there was no effect. , pricking acupoints with silver needles can temporarily suppress mania, but it cannot cure the root cause. I wonder what Senior Li thinks?
Li Lianhua said: You can try adding a tiger's palm.
Fang Duobing almost spit out his cold wine, Tiger Claw?Tiger's paw?But Su Xiaowan said with a gasp, "Tiger's palm is highly poisonous, so be careful when administering the medicine."
Guan Hemeng shook his head: "Shouxing Wanzhi said that the herbal medicine has a record, but he pondered for a while, just thinking that the southern star was originally a medicinal herb, and poured 30 catties of red hot charcoal and five liters of spirits into the earth pit to suffocate for a day and a night." , wouldn't that become ashes?
Li Lianhua thought for a while: If the patient is a martial artist and his internal strength is not weak, he might as well take the fresh tiger palm directly.
Guan Hemeng was taken aback, and stared at Li Lianhua together with Su Xiaoyun, speechless for a while.
Fang Duobing was baffled by what he heard, and he didn't know what he was talking about. He didn't know that the tiger's palm mentioned by Li Lianhua and the Tiannan star mentioned by Guan Hemeng were the same highly poisonous herb, also known as the tiger's palm southern star.Tiger palm is bitter in taste and warm in nature, highly toxic, has the effect of resolving phlegm and stasis, dispelling wind and relieving convulsions, as recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica", and can be used to treat palpitations and confusion, and Shouxing Wan can be used.Dig a pit with one catty of tiger's palm, burn it red with thirty catties of charcoal fire, pour five liters of wine into it, soak it dry, put the tiger's palm in it, and cover it with a basin.On the second day, take out the powder, add one tael of amber and two taels of cinnabar, adjust the noodles with ginger juice to make balls, fry ginseng and Shichangpu soup, and send them down, which are called Shouxing pills.Tiger's palm is very poisonous, the medicine needs to be cautious, it should not be taken internally without concocting, Li Lianhua actually asked the patient to take the poison directly, it is undoubtedly fighting for one's life with the cultivation of internal strength and the poison.
The atmosphere at the wine table was stagnant for a while, Guan Hemeng said slowly: Li, you are killing people. He wanted to call Li Senior, but his heart was full of shock and anger, but it was difficult to say the word Senior.
Li Lianhua said: If he was insane due to poisoning, he should be able to wake up after taking the tiger palm directly.If the internal strength is not anti-drug, you can soak it in water before taking it. Although tiger palm is highly poisonous, it can delay or shorten the time of madness
Guan Hemeng and Su Xiaoyan didn't know that Li Lianhua had no medical skills, so they were just surprised, Fang Duobing was greatly surprised, Li Lianhua didn't know anything about medical skills, but at this time dared to say that tiger's palm can cure madness, it's really strange
How do you know that the patient is poisoned and insane?Guan Hemeng asked in a deep voice.
Su Xiaoyan knew that the patient Guan Hemeng mentioned was his good friend Zhang Changgong, the Sage of the Dragon Heart. Zhang Changgong had been poisoned with ecstasy and had been insane for several months. Guan Hemeng had been treated for half a month, but there was no improvement.
Li Lianhua was startled, and said apologetically, "Oh, let me just say it casually."
Guan Hemeng's face was sullen: How can you speak lightly if you are not very sure about curing diseases and saving lives?Have you ever healed a sick man like this?
Li Lianhua was tongue-tied, although Guan Hemeng didn't speak anymore, Fang Sickness could tell that he was extremely unhappy. At the beginning, he still had some respect for the owner of the lotus building with auspicious patterns, but now, Guan Hemeng has already treated Li Lianhua It is very prejudiced.Seeing Guan Hemeng glaring at Su Xiaoyun suddenly, Fang Duobing suddenly realized why this chivalrous doctor Guan was not very affectionate to Li Lianhua at the beginning, he laughed inwardly, he dared to say that this chivalrous doctor fell in love with his righteous sister Li Lianhua Lotus was very dissatisfied.
Seeing Guan Hemeng's expression was cold, Li Lianhua sat aside with an apologetic face. Fang Duobing rolled his eyes at him, but Su Xiaoyu said, "Brother Guan, how do you know that Brother Li and Li never healed patients with fresh tiger palms?" ?Brother Li is a well-known doctor in the world. Although tiger palm is highly poisonous, maybe it is because of its high toxicity that it is very effective against certain types of madness.
Li Lianhua groaned, but did not agree, Guan Hemeng said coldly: "Maybe you can ensure that the patient will be cured after taking Tiannanxing, and will never die?" .
Li Lianhua smiled wryly: "I can't."
Guan Hemeng slapped the table with a bang, and said angrily: "Then you are using patients to test drugs and disregarding human lives!"
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing were startled, Su Xiaoyan called out: Brother Guan!
Guan Hemeng is jealous of evil like Qiu and has an upright temper. Although his temper is not very good, he is very patient with patients. She has rarely seen him so angry, but she also vaguely understands that it is extremely cruel and vicious to test living people for medicine.
Fang Duobing smoothed things over with a smiley face: It’s okay to take the poison, as long as someone or pure internal force dissolves it, there will be no danger of life, hahaha.
Guan Hemeng laughed back angrily: How many people in the world can have this level of skill?Li Xiangyi?Flute sound?Head of Shaolin Yuanhua?
Fang Duoxing was about to argue that his family's Fang and Mr. Youfang also had such skill, Guan Hemeng, how dare you look down on his family's ancestor Li Lianhua already gagged his mouth with a glass of wine, smiled and said: I am suddenly sleepy.
Guan Hemeng threw up his sleeves and said embarrassingly, "Farewell!"Without looking back, he walked away.
Su Xiaowan glanced at Li Lianhua, paused, hesitated to speak, and finally gave him a hard look, and chased Guan Hemeng out.
Fang Duoxing was almost choked to death by Li Lianhua's glass of wine, he drank it with difficulty, and said angrily: What are you doing?
Li Lianhua sighed: I'm afraid that if you continue talking, Guan Shaoxia will draw his sword and kill someone.
Fang Duoxing rubbed his throat, which was choked by the wine, and muttered: Isn't it because you pretend to understand nonsense that you don't understand, making him fly into a rage?
Li Lianhua murmured: Next time, I must say that Li Lianhua doesn't know anything about medicine. Don't ask me whether you have a headache, a cold or a cough.
Fang Duoxing couldn't help being funny: If you say you don't know anything, he will be angry too.
The two looked at each other, laughed suddenly, drank two more glasses of wine, took a shower and went to bed.
A good night's sleep.When he got up the next day, Guan Hemeng had already got up, and he didn't know where he had gone. Su Xiaoyu sat alone at the downstairs table of the inn, and smiled slightly when she saw Li Lianhua and Fang Duo sick.Li Lianhua smiled apologetically, shook the corner of her clothes, and sat down at her table with Fang Duobing.
Good morning, Brother Li.Su Xiaowan is wearing a long lavender dress today, with a little makeup on, but she is much more beautiful than yesterday, I don't know who she is doing her makeup for.
Fang was sick and white, and Shi Shiran sat beside her: Why don't you ask Brother Fang early?
Su Xiaoyu said again in a polite manner: Good morning, Brother Fang.
Li Lianhua warmly asked where Guan Hemeng had gone, Su Xiaoyu said that Guan Hemeng was waiting at the foot of Xiaoqing Peak, Fengchenjian Liang Song, Ziju girl Kang Huihe, white horse whip Yang Chuihong, and flute girl Long Fujie who wanted to go up the mountain together to congratulate her .These four people did not know each other, but they had all been saved by Guan Hemeng. This time Xiao Zijin invited martial arts knights from all over the world to attend his wedding. Booked a room, at this time to pick up people.
Fang Duoxing praised Guan Hemeng as a chivalrous man with a warm heart, while Li Lianhua hurriedly bought eight steamed buns, poured eight cups of tea and waited for Guan Hemeng and the five to return.
Seeing Li Lianhua place the steamed buns very seriously, Su Xiaowan felt it was funny, but also felt very warm in her heart. Li Lianhua was extremely smart and famous, but she never thought highly of herself. Watching him buy steamed buns How can you recognize him as a strange man with superb medical skills and unparalleled talents?
Today is thirteen.Fang Duo is sick, and in two days, it will be the wedding date.
Su Xiaowan took a sip of tea: Sister Qiao is really enviable. She can meet such a strange person as Li Xiangyi, and then be guarded by an infatuated man like Xiao Daxia. She sighed softly in ten years. Never left Sister Qiao's side.
Fang sickly said: Do you know those two people?
Su Xiaolan nodded: Brother Guan and I have been here since the eighth day of the eighth month. We met them when we went to Xiaoqingfeng to play, and they were offering incense to Li Xiangyi's clothes.
Li Lianhua smiled slightly: "The Sri Lankan is dead, as long as the living live well, the dead can feel at ease, so there is no need to be so persistent."
Su Xiaoyu said: "That's just your own opinion, Brother Li. There are still many people in the world who say that sister Qiao has a woman with two husbands, that she is not determined, and that she is not in love. No matter how ugly I have heard it." .She snorted, Li Xiangyi has been dead for ten years, why should a woman be a widow for a man for the rest of her life?Sister Qiao did not marry Li Xiangyi as his wife.
Fang Duobing interjected, "The scolding person is probably jealous of Xiao Zijin."
Su Xiaoyan was stunned: Jealousy?
Fang Duobing said solemnly: He thought to himself: Qiao Wanyu, why did you change your mind and come to me instead of Xiao Zijin?If you change your mind and marry me, you will be good; if you marry Xiao Zijin, you will be a slut.
Su Xiaoyu burst out laughing, and then held back: Let Daxia Xiao know what you said, and he will definitely break your head. He respects sister Qiao very much.
Fang sickly and curious: how to respect the Fa?
Su Xiaoyun said: Daxia Xiao treated Elder Sister Qiao very gently. Although he didn't often look at her, he knew what Sister Qiao was doing and what she was thinking. He will do it for her.I'm so envious
Li Lianhua listened, and suddenly smiled, her eyes were very gentle.
Fang Duobing said: "Xiao Daxia is too heroic and short-tempered. He has a long-term relationship with his children. Could it be that after he married his wife, he has to clean the table and sweep the floor, wash the dishes and cook?"
When it came to cleaning the table and sweeping the floor, he glanced at Li Lianhua and felt happy: If this dead Lianhua married a wife, he would definitely clean the table, sweep the floor, wash the dishes and cook at home.
This sister Qiao must not make Daxia Xiao like this, right?Su Xiaowan frowned, and Fang Duobing said that she really didn't dare to say that Xiao Zijin would not clean the table and sweep the floor at home after marriage.Fang Duo was talking nonsense, seeing her take it seriously, he was secretly amused and very proud.
Several people were chatting nonsense when they suddenly saw horseshoes outside the door. Several people got off their horses in front of the Wulin Inn and walked in quickly.
Su Xiaoyu called out: Brother Guan.
Guan Hemeng came in first, dressed in a black robe, very handsome, seeing Li Lianhua sitting at the same table with Fang Duobing and Su Xiaowan, his face was slightly gloomy, but he was polite: Good morning, both of you.
Li Lianhua nodded again and again: "Morning, morning."
Fang Duobing looked behind him, there were four people behind Guan Hemeng, two men and two women, one of the two men was dressed as a scholar, and the other was wearing tights.The man dressed as a scholar hangs a jade pendant on his waist, and his belt is a soft whip, which is Yang Chuihong, a white horse whip. It is said that this person's white horse and gold whip can rank fifth in the world.The person in the gray robe and tights is Fengchenjian Liang Song. This person's martial arts are not very good, but he is sincere and diligent, and has a very good reputation as a chivalrous man.
One of the two women is beautiful and bright, wearing a green dress, she is the purple chrysanthemum girl Kang Huihe; the other is wearing a sarong, without makeup, exuding a natural bookish atmosphere, she is the girl who is blowing Xiao Long Fujie.
Several people introduced each other, kept clasping their hands together, and finally sat down after a long time of admiration. They were also very surprised that the people at the same table were the famous owner of the lotus flower with auspicious patterns and the young master of the Fang family, especially Li Lianhua, who was famous for being mysterious, but Unsurprisingly, he was surprised that such an elegant and ordinary scholar.After drinking a few cups of tea and chatting, Fang Duobing found out that these chivalrous young chivalrous girls were saved not only by Guan Hemeng, but also by Xiao Zijin.
Feng Chenjian Liang Songdao: I was born too late, and I never caught up with the battle between Sigumen and Jinluan League, but I was lucky to have a chance with Xiao Daxia in the battle of Yuezhi Cave two years ago. Xiao Daxia is handsome and a man Chic, and Ms. Qiao are indeed a match made in heaven.
Kang Huihe pursed her lips and smiled: Daxia Xiao is indeed handsome, but he may not be unparalleled in the world. Although brother Liang's martial arts are not as good as his, his chivalry is still superior.This girl has a beautiful face and a sweet mouth.
The flute girl Long Fujie who came with her smiled sweetly: Brother Liang is even more heroic and chivalrous, and there are some people who are as handsome and heroic as
Kang Huihe was dizzy and said angrily: "Sister Long!
Long Fujie looked at Guan Hemeng with a half-smile, raised her cup and drank some tea, picked up the steamed bun in front of her, tore a piece leisurely, ate it,
Fang Duoxing looked at Guan Hemeng with great interest, and Li Lianhua drank tea in an orderly manner without squinting.
Liang Song coughed lightly. He knew that Kang Huihe had a crush on Guan Hemeng, but Guan Hemeng seemed to be special to Su Xiaoyu. In order to avoid Guan Hemeng's embarrassment, he said to Yang Chuihong: Brother Yang came from a long way. What gift?
Yang Chuihong was originally Mr. Pianpian, and he was not stingy, so he immediately took out a wooden box the size of a folding fan from his sleeve: this is a gift from his brother.
Kang Huihe was curious: what is this?
Fang Duoxing was also very curious. This wooden box is about one foot long and two inches wide: what is inside it?Chopsticks?
Yang Chuihong opened the wooden box with a smile, and saw the brilliance in the wooden box, but it was a very short and narrow dagger. The fine steel dagger must be shining with cold light, but this dagger glowed with a strange pink luster, which was really beautiful.
Fang Duoxi looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Xiao Taohong!
Yang Chuihong nodded, and praised: Mr. Fang really has a good eye, this is exactly the little peach red that Mrs. Tiansi Wudietao owned fifty-six years ago!
Long Fujie was quite surprised: I heard that this dagger cuts gold and cuts jade, and its sharpness is very sharp. What is even more valuable is the place where this dagger is located. The murderous aura of the magic weapon can make mosquitoes disappear and beasts can be avoided. It is a god of self-defense.Where did you get it?
Yang Chuihong was rather contented: Xiao Taohong was bought by his brother at a pawn shop by chance.Xiao Daxia has saved my life, so this dagger is a perfect gift for Miss Qiao.
Everyone nodded one after another, and immediately asked each other for congratulations.
What Long Fujie wears is a phoenix hairpin. The pearl is carved out of falling gold. It is very expensive. The most precious thing is that the body of the hairpin, which is only three inches long, is engraved with sixty words of Lu Youchai's head and phoenix. The characters are clear and smooth, and they are indeed a famous product.
Several people were amazed, but they couldn't help but feel that it would be unlucky to engrave this poem on this hairpin when they were newly married, but this hairpin is an ancient relic, so it is difficult to be demanding.
Kang Huihe's congratulatory gift was a box of rouge. The rouge was delicate and bright in color, but it was made from exotic flowers in the Western Regions. It is often used to brighten the face, and it can also be used as a medicine for wounds. It is quite effective when applied on wounds.
What Liang and Song Dynasties brought was a calligraphy and painting, which was written by famous contemporary calligraphers.
Guan Hemeng and Su Xiaoyun didn't bring a gift, but Fang Sick's gift was much more vulgar, it was ten thousand taels of silver, twenty altars of fine wine, ten bolts of silk and satin of various colors, and one hundred flowers of different species.These congratulatory gifts were brought by Mr. Fang Eryou Fang and led the crowd. Fang Duoxing will hand over these gifts to Xiao Zijin on August 15th on behalf of the Fang family.
But if Fang was sick and vulgar, Li Lianhua would be being stingy, and his gift was a box of wedding candy.
Fang Duobiao was dumbfounded, and said for a long while: How about a hundred varieties of this exotic flower as a gift from you?
Several other people looked at the box of wedding candy, feeling either contemptuous or surprised, but Li Lianhua refused and insisted on giving Xiao Zijin and his wife a box of wedding candy. What kind of characters are Xiao Zijin and Qiao Wanyu? Wouldn't it embarrass people face to face if you sent a box of worthless candies?
Li Lianhua patted his box of wedding candy, wrapped it carefully, like a treasure, Fang Duobing felt sad: So this is Li Lianhua's great gift?But this Li Xiaohua is an iron rooster, very stingy, buying a box of candies for five copper coins is indeed a big gift.
2. The two flowers are tender and tender, but they are just children of the old family
On August 15th, the sky is clear and bright, and a ray of purple clouds slant across the sky in the evening, which is magnificent and moving.
Bianzhou Xiaoqingfeng and Yexia Xiaozhu are very lively with guests coming and going.Red lanterns hung high above the entrance, and the courtyard was decorated with lights and festoons. There were dozens of tables for banquets, which filled the entire courtyard. All kinds of wine and vegetables, chicken, duck, fish, fruits and vegetables, cold dishes and salads were all served on the tables.Already 50% of the guests were seated, most of them were smiling, clasped hands to each other, and congratulated each other endlessly.
Qiao Wanyu was doing her makeup in front of the mirror. The color of the bronze mirror was dim and gloomy. She slowly painted her eyebrows and nodded her lips.The person in the mirror is still the same color as before, even with heavy makeup on, it doesn't make it much more beautiful, but the appearance is still the same, and the human affairs are no longer married to Xiao Zijin. Ten years ago, even in the most absurd and bizarre dreams, she never appeared. The scene for Xiao Zijin.
Do you love Zijin?She asked herself many times, ten years ago, eight years ago, six years ago, four years ago until late last night, do you love Zijin?Last night, she dreamed of the blood he shed for herself and the things she did, but she never saw the tears he shed for herself. After waking up, she quietly recalled the truth. I have shed tears, this man has been desperately being her pillar of support, never saying anything else, and never letting her see it.
He is different from Xiang Yi.Do you love Xiangyi?Love, I have always loved Xiang Yi is very willful, his superb martial arts, outstanding wisdom, and brilliant achievements make him look down on everything.He likes to order people, and he is very good at ordering people. The strange thing is that everyone feels very convinced, and never hates her. She is always ordered and arranged by him, where to go, what to do, where to wait, etc. He has been listening to Xiangyi Believe in him, wait for him, wait until you can never wait, but Zijin is different, Zijin will never direct what she has to do
As long as she asks, he can die for her
Qiao Wanyu twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, her smile showed a bit of desolation, she naturally wouldn't ask Zi Jin to die for her, she would never ask anyone to die, she hated everything that could be easily done by abandoning everything Do dead people love Zijin?My dear, it took ten years, and she is really happy to have today's wedding.
Guests from outside came in and gave congratulatory gifts when they entered the table. She is also a martial arts practitioner, so she heard the voices from outside.Most of the presents were very expensive. Qiao Wanlu put on her makeup and smiled slightly. Although Zi Jin had been restrained in the past few years, she must be very happy in her heart. He always liked ostentation.
Sister Joe?Someone knocked on the door, I'm Xiaolan.
Qiao Wan said: "Come in."
Su Xiaowan pushed the door open and entered, and said ah: Sister Qiao is indeed more beautiful today than usual.
Qiao Wan gave a chuckle: The little girl is very hypocritical.
Su Xiaoyu cried out: Sister Qiao is a famous beauty in the Jianghu!Where am I being hypocritical?
Qiao Wanyu smiled slightly: Famous is true, but beauty may not be.So famous, I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune.
Su Xiaowan picked up the comb on the table and gently combed her hair tightly: I don't know how many people envy you.
Qiao Wansheng closed her eyes, then opened her smile: That's the girl you've never seen before, and that's the real beauty.
Su Xiaolan's mouth was flattened: Why should I look at the witch?I heard that this woman's gang is in a mess, raped and looted everything, she is definitely not a good person.
Qiao Wanyu was a little funny, she was about to speak, but the sedan chair had already arrived at the door, Su Xiaowan put on the phoenix crown for her, arranged her clothes, and helped her into the sedan chair.
The red sedan chair slowly moved forward amidst the yelling of the porters, and walked towards the atrium, where the wedding banquet was held in the atrium, and the wedding hall was in the lobby behind the atrium.From Qiao Wan's confinement boudoir to the lobby, it is only through a corridor, hundreds of steps.Joyful playing, the guests have already arrived at the table, the sound was quiet for a while, only the cheerful and lively music seemed to be heard from all directions, the creaking of the sedan chair could be faintly heard, the guests chatted loudly after a while, laughter, shouting , percussion and vocal singing mixed together, it was extremely lively.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Qiao Wanyu suddenly felt shy, her cheeks blushed, and she stole a glance at the gap in the curtain of the sedan chair, only to see Xiao Zijin's back standing in the wedding hall from afar.She had never seen him in a red dress before, but when she saw him suddenly, she thought it was a little funny, she couldn't help smiling, and she felt a little flustered, like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, meeting someone she likes for the first time So-so.
Many guests also sat in the banquet for a long time waiting for the sedan chair. Seeing the sedan chair turning out from the corridor, many people stared at the sedan chair intently, hoping to make two holes in the sedan chair to see how the bride is doing. Her beauty made two strange men fall for her?Su Xiaoyun followed the sedan chair all the way, and there were maids, matchmakers and bearers by the side of the sedan chair. The road didn't go far, and there were many young and reckless teenagers by the side of the sedan chair. While she was busy, someone patted her on the shoulder lightly.
Eh?She turned around and smiled, it's you, what?What's up?The man nodded and waved to her.
Su Xiaoyu hesitated a little, but seeing that the sedan chair had already come to the door, she also knew this person's temper, it wasn't really important, this person would avoid her and would never come forward to greet her, so she nodded, Follow the man to the guest room.There were crowds of people around the sedan chair, but not many people noticed that Su Xiaowan was leaving. Everyone only hoped to see Qiao Wan when she gave birth to the sedan chair.
The sound of joy was playing, and the person holding the minotaur in front of him had already swept across the threshold of the wedding hall. Qiao Wanyu had no brothers, so there was no uncle's sedan chair in front, let alone a matchmaker, so there was no matchmaker sedan chair in the wedding party. After the young people pass, the bride's sedan chair will go directly to the door. When the auspicious time arrives, the groom can go out to welcome the bride and lead the bride into the worship hall.Qiao Wan's big red sedan chair stopped outside, and the guests roared loudly, everyone laughed and yelled.Xiao Zijin turned around and looked around, and there was a faint smile on her lips.
Fang Duobing sat at the wedding banquet, and beside him was Fang Eryou, the head of the Fang family. In front of his master, Fang Duobing behaved well and behaved cautiously.與他同席的是關河夢、以及佛彼白石中三人，四虎銀槍三人，四顧門尚存的友人都前來道賀，佛彼白石中雲彼丘沒有到座，說是百川院不能無人留守，加之他有病在身，因此不能前來。
李蓮花坐在第七席中，他本要說明他就是江湖傳說中神秘莫測的吉祥紋蓮花樓樓主，但轉念想到方而優正等著要看何曉鳳的準夫婿，不免有些膽寒，還是不說為妙。坐在他左邊的是思皮大俠房克虎，右邊是雪花仙子柳寒梅，滿桌皆是久仰久仰之聲。
半晌之後，李蓮花終於忍不住悄悄問身邊的雪花仙子那位思皮大俠究竟是何方神聖？
柳寒梅嫣然一笑，在他耳邊悄聲道：思皮那是南蠻荒蕪之地的一個小地方方圓不過二十來里
李蓮花啊了一聲，十分敬仰地看著房克虎：二十來里也大得很了。
柳寒梅頓時流露出輕蔑之色：那也算大俠？
李蓮花唯唯諾諾，過不多時又低聲問房克虎道：咳咳不知柳仙子又是何處的高人？
房克虎哈哈大笑：她是黃河五環刀門下的女弟子，什麼雪花仙子我根本沒聽說過，不會是今日過來前臨時自封的吧？
柳寒梅砰的一聲拍桌而起，柳眉倒豎，大怒道：你說什麼？你枉為江湖中人，居然不知我雪花仙子乃是近年來江湖有數的人物？
李蓮花大吃一驚，連連拱手：兩位聲名遠揚，在座各位都是久仰了，息怒息怒，請坐請坐。
柳寒梅餘怒未消，重重坐下，突地斜眼看李蓮花：你姓誰名誰？報上名號！
李蓮花一怔：這個這個在下姓李
他一句話還沒說完，柳寒梅斜眼看到他手裡抱著一個紅色的喜糖盒子，為之愕然：這是你的賀禮？
李蓮花頷首。
柳寒梅嘿了一聲，起身坐往別席，竟是覺得和他同席十分屈辱。柳寒梅一離席，第七桌便有不少人紛紛離開，只餘下三兩人仍舊坐著，看似來白吃白喝的江湖混混，這時卻有一人姍姍而來，坐在了第七桌上，正是龍賦婕。她對李蓮花微微一笑，似乎是對離開之人十分不屑。
方多病坐在正席，吊眼看著第七席的變故，肚裡大笑。卻聽一名長鬚老者卓然而起，揚聲道：吉時已到
喜筵一陣喧嘩，人人回頭，只見蕭紫衿一身紅袍，胸掛紅花，緩步走向停在門口的紅轎。喧嘩聲漸漸平息，蕭紫衿輕輕牽起轎前的紅綢，轎簾晃動，一人頭戴紅蓋頭自轎中慢慢下來，紅衣鮮豔，佳人窈窕，蕭紫衿牽動紅綢，紅衣新娘緩步前行，突然之間，喜筵中的賓客情不自禁發出一陣歡呼，蕭紫衿微微一震，他是何等人物，卻在牽起紅綢的剎那，微微顫抖。
李蓮花手持酒杯，目不轉睛地看著蕭紫衿。賓客滿堂，蕭紫衿全心全意只在喬婉娩一人身上，牽著新娘子走過喜筵，登上喜堂。
那長鬚老者原來是蕭紫衿的叔父，只聽他運氣振聲道：一拜天地
蕭紫衿和喬婉娩攜手對門口同拜天地，那老者又喊：二拜高堂
兩人回身對老者徐徐拜下。夫妻對拜
兩人轉過身，彼此深深拜下，攜手而起。
酒宴的賓客有些喊叫起來：恭喜蕭大俠和喬姑娘喜結良緣
恭喜蕭大俠喜得佳人。
多福多壽！
早生貴子
頓時一片哄笑，蕭紫衿終究笑了，牽著新娘步入洞房。
李蓮花手中的喜糖尚未送出，微微一笑之後，他將喜糖放置在靠近第七桌旁的收禮盤中。旁人所送的禮物大都名貴，這一盒喜糖倒是十分顯眼。送出喜糖之後，他拾起筷子，夾了一筷子蔬菜，吃了下去。同桌之人均覺詫異，這位食客未免太沒禮貌了。過不多時，正席開始動筷，大家紛紛勸酒，場面熱鬧異常。李蓮花卻只吃了那一筷子蔬菜，便自停筷，他左右無人，過了一會兒微笑，舉杯低唱：一杯相屬，此夕何夕
卻有一人走到他身側，悠悠吟道：西江碧，江亭夜燕天涯客。天涯客，一杯相屬，此夕何夕。燭殘花冷歌聲急，秦關漢苑無消息。無消息，戍樓吹角，故人難得。
李蓮花嚇了一跳，抬起頭來，猛地看見來人紅衣烏髮，容顏嬌豔嫵媚，髮髻一支芙蓉金釵，十分華麗燦爛，竟比新娘還要明豔，卻是何曉鳳。
同桌之人都認得這位武林第三美人，見她突然來到，不免十分稀奇。靠近第七席的賓客紛紛回頭，均在好奇這位武林第三美人究竟所為何事？
只見她笑吟吟地看著李蓮花，泰然自若的在他身邊柳寒梅的空位坐下：好久不見，別來無恙？
李蓮花道：別來無恙，何姑娘好。
何曉鳳媚眼在李蓮花臉上瞟來瞟去：李樓主何等身分，怎能坐在次席？這蕭大俠也太不講道理，你到我那裡坐，來。
李蓮花溫言道：我坐這裡很好。
何曉鳳嫣然一笑：那麼我便坐在這裡陪你。
同桌幾人頓時心裡悻悻這位李樓主不知究竟是何方神聖，居然能得到江湖中身價最高之佳人的青睞？這位佳人年紀雖然大了那麼一點，難伺候了那麼一點，卻也是千嬌百媚
正當此時，正席起了一陣喧嘩，蕭紫衿換了身衣裳，出來陪酒。
正席上紀漢佛、白江鶉和石水一起站起，舉杯敬酒。
蕭紫衿一杯酒一飲而盡，白江鶉笑道：蕭兄弟多年夙願，終是得償，恭喜恭喜。
石水卻冷冷地道：門主若在，三門主萬萬娶不到喬姑娘。
紀漢佛喝了一聲，石水陰陰閉嘴，紀漢佛對蕭紫衿道：恭喜、恭喜。
蕭紫衿不以為忤，突地長長吐出一口氣：我其實很慶幸他已經死了。
飲下第二杯酒，他眼中隱有淚光，緩緩地道：你們可以恨我。
紀漢佛用力拍了拍他的肩頭，淡淡地道：不會。
王忠、何璋和劉如京三人也站起來，連道恭喜，蕭紫衿連飲七杯酒，面不改色。方多病和方而優也站起敬酒，方多病從未見過這位蕭大俠，這時對他上上下下看了個仔細，只見他面貌英俊，氣度沉穩，身材高大挺拔，的確是自有威儀，和江湖宵小之輩如李蓮花之流大大不同。
蕭紫衿敬完首席，一桌桌輪番敬酒，他內力深厚，又出身名門世家，酒量甚豪，連飲十數桌，臉上毫無醉意。很快他走向何曉鳳這一桌，身側有人替他倒酒，他舉杯走向第七席首座，突然一怔，砰的一聲那一杯酒水失手跌落，在地上摔得粉碎。
喜筵中頓時寂靜無聲，人人心中訝然，自李相夷和笛飛聲死後，蕭紫衿的武功縱使稱不上江湖第一，也是第一之一，他的手勁何等穩健，抓數百斤重物也不在話下，這小小酒杯竟而會失手跌落，實在是萬分古怪。只見蕭紫衿盯著第七席中的一人，目不轉睛地看著，突道：你你
那人微微一笑，舉杯站了起來，在下李蓮花，恭喜蕭大俠和喬姑娘喜結連理，祝兩位白頭到老，不離不棄。
蕭紫衿仍是目不轉睛地看著他：你
李蓮花先行舉杯一飲而盡，蕭紫衿卻呆了好一會兒，才從桌上取了另一隻新杯，倒酒飲下，只聽李蓮花溫和地道：你要待自己好些。
蕭紫衿僵硬了好一會兒，竟點了點頭。
李蓮花舉杯飲下第二杯酒，再次道：恭喜。
蕭紫衿又點了點頭，仍道：你、你
李蓮花亮了亮杯底：李蓮花。
蕭紫衿在他面前站了好一會兒，身旁的人竊竊私語，都道蕭大俠醉了，才見他自行倒了一杯酒，一口吞下，砰的一聲擲杯於地，大步轉身離去。
他居然沒再向第七席的其他人敬酒。
何曉鳳吃驚地看著蕭紫衿大步走過，瞠目結舌地看著李蓮花道：你真是個怪人。
李蓮花愕然：我怎麼奇怪了？
何曉鳳指著蕭紫衿，再指著李蓮花：你們你們很奇怪。
李蓮花奇道：他娶老婆我來道喜，有什麼不對？
何曉鳳呆了半晌：他沒給我敬酒。
李蓮花更奇道：他不是見了妳後失手打碎酒杯嗎？
何曉鳳張大嘴巴，指著自己的鼻子：他是見了我打碎酒杯？我怎麼覺得他是見了你才
李蓮花嘆了口氣：他自是見了妳，一時失神，打碎酒杯。
何曉鳳將信將疑，心下卻有絲竊喜：真的？
李蓮花正色道：當然是真的，他不是見了妳失魂落魄，難道是見了我失魂落魄？
何曉鳳想了想，顏若春花的嫣然一笑：這倒也是
喜筵中不少人議論紛紛，好奇地看著李蓮花，正席中關河夢既未站起敬酒，也不看李蓮花，甚是心不在焉。
方多病已留意了他許久，忍不住問道：關兄可有心事？
關河夢一怔，眉頭緊蹙：我在想義妹不知何處去了？
方多病東張西望，也有些奇怪，果然蘇小慵蹤影不見，她和喬婉娩交情匪淺，不該不坐正席，怎會不在？
自從去給喬姑娘梳妝後，她至今未歸。關河夢沉聲道。
方多病本想乾笑一聲，但老爺子坐在身邊，只得溫文爾雅地微微一笑：莫非她一直陪著喬姑娘？心下卻道：莫非她陪新娘陪到洞房裡去了？
關河夢搖頭：絕不可能。他目光在喜筵中搜索良久，緩緩地道：她失蹤了。
方多病道：這裡是野霞小築，紫袍宣天的住所，有誰敢在這裡生事？蘇姑娘想必是走散了，不會出事的，你放心。
關河夢臉上微現冷笑，慢慢地說：我只怕就因為這裡是蕭大俠的居所，所以才有人敢在這裡生事，因為今日此處毫不設防
方多病見了他的冷笑，頭皮有些發麻，勉強笑笑：關兄說得也有道理，不過我想不至如此
此時蕭紫衿已敬酒敬了一圈，喜筵也用過了大半，正在此時，門外有人驚叫一聲：你是什麼人啊
庭院中眾人一怔，只見一件事物橫空飛來，姿勢怪異地平平落地，卻是野霞小築門前的僕役。那僕役爬了起來，東張西望，根本不清楚發生了什麼，竟連驚駭都不覺得。
喜筵中高手眾多，相顧駭然：要將一人擲入院中不難，難得是將人低低拋起，平平墜地，既不塵土飛揚，亦不鼻青臉腫，更不必說被拋之人居然還來不及覺得驚駭，人就已經進來了，那是什麼樣的武功？蕭紫衿此時至少已經飲下數罈美酒，微有醉意，卻仍是反應敏捷，剎那間已攔在了庭院拱門之前：來者何人？
喜筵中有心與來人一較高低的都已紛紛站起，只見站在庭院拱門之前的是一位青衣男子，年貌來看不過三十左右，容顏俊雅，手上托著一個木盒，冷淡淡站在門口，臉上既無祝賀之色，亦無挑釁之相。
眾人目光一齊看著來人，此人容貌陌生，絕非近年來江湖中常見人物。正席上幾人卻都是渾身一震，臉色大變，同聲叫道：笛飛聲！
幾人隨即攔在蕭紫衿身前，心裡均想：不管這魔頭因何未死，今日拚得性命不要，也要保蕭紫衿和喬婉娩周全。
剎那間喜筵中寂靜如死，人人睜大眼睛，看著這位傳說已死了十年的金鸞盟盟主，笛飛聲悲風白楊心法為武林中第一等剛猛內力，若是此人真是笛飛聲，今日喜筵眾人坐得如此密集，他一掌之威，便是以立斃場內數位賓客。這位煞星怎會未死？十年之中他又究竟去了何處？今日來到野霞小築又所為何事？眾人噤若寒蟬，心下一片冰涼，他若是來向蕭紫衿尋仇，要大開殺戒，我等今日卻是冤死了。
笛飛聲淡淡站在門前，眾人神情緊張，他卻不看在眼內，環顧庭院之內，賓客皆悉膽寒，不知他想要如何。蕭紫衿張口欲言，紀漢佛擋在他身前，低聲道：喬姑娘尚在房內。
一言提醒，蕭紫衿本來心裡怒極，不知笛飛聲未死，又不知他前來所為何事，乘著酒意便要拔劍，紀漢佛提及喬婉娩，他心頭一驚，滿腔義憤頓時涼了。
紀漢佛攔在眾人之前，沉聲問道：笛飛聲？
笛飛聲手中木盒一拋，啪啦一聲那木盒跌在紀漢佛身前，只聽他淡淡的道：十年不見，別來無恙？
紀漢佛不知他心裡做的什麼打算，也淡淡的答：別來無恙，不知笛盟主前來，所為何事？
笛飛聲卻不理他，上下打量了蕭紫衿一陣：聽說這幾年來，你武功大進，江湖中白道黑道，無不默認你是如今武林第一高手？
眾人一聽便知來者不善，紀漢佛沉聲道：武林第一高手云云，乃是江湖朋友過譽，江湖中藏龍臥虎，哪有人真敢自認第一高手？
笛飛聲嘿了一聲，眼光只看著蕭紫衿。
蕭紫衿卻不能在眾多賓客面前做縮頭烏龜，雙眉一振，朗聲道：蕭某絕非武林第一高手，但如笛盟主要仰仗武功擾我婚宴，莫怪蕭某不自量力
笛飛聲打斷他的話，淡淡地道：今日你如能接我一掌，這盒中之物便算我贈與你成婚的賀禮。
蕭紫衿一怔，喜筵中眾人大奇，這笛飛聲竟不是來報金鸞盟全軍覆沒之仇，而是來比武的，這地上木盒之中不知放了什麼，人人好奇得很。
蕭紫衿振了振衣袖，朗朗一笑：既然笛盟主是為送禮而來，蕭某便接你一掌。
笛飛聲臉色淡漠，緩緩往前踏了一步，蕭紫衿身後眾人便下意識的往後退。旁人不知笛飛聲的武功究竟如何，但當年四顧門下之人卻再清楚不過。
紀漢佛低聲囑咐蕭紫衿千萬小心，笛飛聲的武功剛強暴戾，雖是一掌，但已是性命交關，若是不敵，萬萬不要勉強，往後避走就是。他和白江鶉站在蕭紫衿身後，蕭紫衿一旦不敵，便立刻著手救人。
方多病心頭怦怦直跳，他未曾想到今日竟會看到笛飛聲，以他的武功地位，這等大事自然輪不上他插嘴，他情不自禁地瞄了眼李蓮花的坐席，不知李蓮花可有化解局面的妙法？卻見李蓮花目不轉睛地看著笛飛聲，似乎也被這傳說中的魔頭震住了，沒有半點反應。這時只聽門前地面一聲咯啦輕響，原來是笛飛聲踏上了一塊稍微翹起的青磚，眾人為之一凜：他面對蕭紫衿，踏前兩步，竟是全身放鬆，全未運勁，比之蕭紫衿全神戒備，已是勝出一籌，若非對自己極有信心，絕對無法如此。
紀漢佛和白江鶉都已將真力運遍全身，一旦發生變故，便當機立斷，必定要保蕭紫衿全身而退。笛飛聲前踏第三步，簡單地揚手揮掌，往前劈出。
坐在方多病身邊的方而優一直沒有說話，此時突然一拍桌面，大聲喝道：白日銷戰骨！
方多病嚇了一跳，才知這一掌掌力熾熱剛猛，乃是笛飛聲極其出名的一記殺手，若是被此掌所傷，必定高燒七日而死，自有此掌以來，未曾有人能自掌下逃生。
賓客席中多有驚呼，蕭紫衿雙眉聳動，一掌拍出，竟對笛飛聲那一記白日銷戰骨迎了上去。
方多病心裡佩服，大讚蕭紫衿豪勇，只聽砰的一聲大響，既無想像中的土木崩裂、飛砂走石之相，也無血濺三尺、慘烈悲壯之幕，眼前卻是笛飛聲噔噔噔連退三步。眾人大奇，看這兩人對了一掌，竟是蕭紫衿勝了！紀漢佛和白江鶉甚是不解，蕭紫衿自己也十分茫然，只見笛飛聲嘿了一聲，這地下木盒，算是你的賀禮。
言罷轉身，大步離開，掉頭而去。眾人面面相覷，均是莫名其妙，渾然不解。
這魔頭豈會安得好心，木盒之中不知是什麼東西？關河夢道。
紀漢佛搖了搖頭：笛飛聲一代梟雄，雖是濫殺無辜，卻從來光明磊落，他既然說是賀禮，那便是賀禮，必定不會虛言欺詐。
關河夢便不說話，蕭紫衿酒意已醒，對笛飛聲的來意全然摸不著頭腦，拾起木盒，打開一看，只見盒中空空，只放著一個小瓶。那瓶子潔白如玉，上有青花小字，寫的是觀音垂淚四字，
紀漢佛突然領悟：心中暗道：看來那熙陵中的觀音垂淚確是被笛飛聲取走，他失蹤十年，此時方才出現，必是當年受傷極重，無法復出。如今突然出現，只怕是已經服下靈藥，傷勢已經痊癒，今日挑戰蕭紫衿，必是為了試驗他的武功恢復了幾層！方才看似蕭紫衿勝了，卻不知這魔頭施展了幾層功力，何況他服下靈藥不久，想必武功尚未全部恢復，時日一久，蕭紫衿定不是他的對手。
此時蕭紫衿已經把小瓶打開，其中空空如也，並沒有什麼東西，只是瓶塞拔開，但覺清香撲鼻，嗅之可知其中放置過上佳靈藥，卻不知笛飛聲將此空瓶當作賀禮送與自己，究竟是什麼用意？紀漢佛踏上一步，與他低聲解釋觀音垂淚的來龍去脈，白江鶉等人退回正席，各自坐了下來。
方多病心裡對笛飛聲的氣質風度倒是頗為欣賞，只覺這位所謂魔頭也並不如何窮兇極惡，其他人卻知笛飛聲殺人不眨眼，雖是鬆了口氣，但這頓喜筵是說什麼也吃不下去了。
前頭喜筵奇峰突起，洞房之中卻也另有別情。
喬婉娩頭戴紅巾靜坐洞房之中，突地一陣微風吹過，她在野霞小築中久居，立刻便知窗戶洞開，奇的是這窗戶開得無聲無息，她的武功雖未稱得上一流，卻也在一、二流之間，窗戶近在咫尺，竟未聽到絲毫聲息。當下撩起紅巾，猛地看見窗外有張臉對她一笑，只見黑夜之中那張臉紅紅白白，卻是一張彩繪的鬼臉。喬婉娩著實吃了一驚，那張鬼臉很快被人拿下，鬼臉之下的嬌顏令她心頭一跳，世上女子貌美之人眾多，但這窗前女子的容貌竟能讓她也為之怦然，實在是美得異乎尋常，何況容貌雖美，僅是有形之相，此女絕世風華，僅是眼眸微微一動，便讓人覺如流水桃花，清豔交融，令人心魂俱醉。
這面帶鬼臉的女子，自是角麗譙。喬婉娩與她十年未見，此女已年逾三十，卻依稀比十年之前更美了些，只見她在窗口招了招手。喬婉娩將頭戴的紅蓋頭握在手中，心下戒備，卻見角麗譙那張色澤柔美的紅脣在窗口無聲地道：李、相、夷、還、活、著
喬婉娩心頭大震，失聲問道：他現在何處？突覺口中一涼，原來角麗譙鬼臉之中暗藏細微暗器，她一張口，那暗器由口而入，隨即融化，再也吐不出來，
