Chapter 2 Chapter 1 Dragon King Coffin
1. Bamboo forest lamp
The vast green hills are full of bamboo forests as far as the eye can see. In this late autumn season, the mountains and plains are green and yellow, and there are many spots and spider threads.
This mountain is called Qingzhu Mountain, and the river under the mountain is called Lushui. This is the only way to go from Ruizhou to Mufu Mountain.
Three fine horses trudged slowly through the dense bamboo forest path. It just rained yesterday, and the bamboo forest was very humid. The three horses snorted impatiently on this narrow path, walking three times forward and two retreating. Then, after walking for a short distance, the horse stopped.
In the thick fog, a man in white on a horse murmured, I hate the thick fog the most.It's extremely humid here, and it looks like it's going to rain again soon.
On the other horse is a tall man in Tsing Yi, with a heroic look: There is no one in the ten miles, if he abandons his horse and walks, he may arrive before dark.
walk?The white clothes of the man in white were slightly damp in the thick fog, sticking a little to his body, making him look thin and bony, seven or eight points more skinny than usual, this person was the worrying son Fang Sick.Hearing this, he laughed dryly, and it is not impossible to abandon the horse, but it will be dark after arriving at the village, and we have to cross the river ahead, so we have to wait until tomorrow. I think we should find a place to hide from the rain first, and wait until the weather is better tomorrow. Hurry up, it's faster this way.
The man in Tsing Yi heard it, but he didn't answer, his eyes stayed on the third person on the horse. In fact, the man had already got off his horse, and even pulled a handful of grass from the bamboo bushes, stuffed it carefully into the horse's mouth, and suddenly saw the man in Tsing Yi standing straight. He stared straight at him, and instinctively looked at his whole body, only then did he understand what the man in Tsing Yi meant, and quickly said: "Hide out of the rain, hide out of the rain, I have no objection."
The man who feeds the horse is of course Li Lianhua, Fang’s close friend who has been sick for many years, and the man in Tsing Yi is Zhan Yunfei who combed his hair. After the case of embroidered human skin, the salty chariot disappeared for no reason, but the caravan did not die down. , The most important event in the world these days is the breaking of the fifth prison of the 188th prison of Baichuanyuan. A total of five devils in the dungeon in Mufu Mountain were rescued by them.
One of them is known as the Demon Star from Outer Sky. It is said that this person has extremely dark skin, eyes like bells, broad shoulders, three inches wider than ordinary people, and one foot taller. The only remaining teeth are exceptionally white.
More than 20 years ago, the demon star rampaged across the rivers and lakes and killed countless people. Although this person was old, he was still alive. How many innocent people will he kill indiscriminately when he comes back out of the rivers and lakes?Hearing that such monsters escaped, people in the Jianghu were panicked, and their trust in Baichuanyuan was greatly reduced.
At the invitation of Ji Hanfo, the three of Fang Duobing went to the dungeon of Mufu Mountain to find out if they could find out where the 188 prisons were broken one after another, and what went wrong?The location of these one hundred and eighty-eight prisons is only known by Fobi and Baishi. If it wasn't for the spies of the fish, dragon, cattle and horse gang among the four, why the dungeon was broken so easily, and there was no clue after the incident ?
Invited by the majestic Buddha Ji Hanfo in Bibaishi, Fang was really sick and happy for a few days.Although Ji Hanfo invited Fang Duobing, Li Lianhua and Zhan Yunfei together in the letter, but Young Master Fang thought that since Ji Daxia wrote the other Mr. Fang first, it is obvious that Ji Daxia mainly invited Mr. Fang, plus one or two passers-by as companions.It turns out that he already has such a status in the hearts of senior experts and he still doesn't know it. He is really ashamed, ashamed, hahahaha
However, from Ruizhou to Mufu Mountain, you have to climb two mountains and cross several rivers. The road is desolate and barren. There are no special products in lotus ponds and fish ponds or stunning beauties. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and he was determined not to continue on his way. Even if Ji Hanfo personally put a knife on his neck today, he still had to hide from the rain!
Since Li Lianhua was sick and both of them said they wanted to take shelter from the rain, the three of them immediately led their horses and walked to the side of the mountain, hoping that there would be a cave under the cliff to shelter from the rain.Fang Duobing originally thought that Zhan Yunfei must be unhappy in his heart, and wished he could travel thousands of miles to get to Mufu Mountain as soon as possible, but Zhan Yunfei didn't seem to care much, and actually took the opinions of the two of them seriously. He took the lead and led the horse to find a place to hide from the rain very seriously.
Green Bamboo Mountain is gentle, without any cliffs. From a distance, it looks like a rock, but when you get closer, it is a slope. The three of them walked around the bamboo forest for a few times, and all they saw were different heights, big and small. Green Bamboo, not only does not know what night it is, but also because of the thick fog, it doesn't know where it is.
After turning around three times, the three people's clothes and shoes were completely wet, Li Lianhua finally coughed after slipping the third time: I think that, the cave and the like can't be found, and we seem to be lost
Zhan Yunfei, who was walking in front, also coughed lightly, Fang Sickly retorted instinctively: Lost?This young master has never lost his way since he was six years old, and he can find his way even in the vast desert
At this time, the fog had become so thick that it was blurry ten paces away. Li Lianhua looked at him happily: Then where is this place?
Fang Duoxing choked, and said confidently: This is not a desert of thousands of miles.
I'm afraid this place is three or four miles away from the route we just took.Zhan Yunfei said indifferently, it was getting late, even if he couldn't find shelter from the rain, everyone was a martial artist, so let's just meditate and rest.He didn't care that the ground was full of mud and weeds, so he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing looked at each other, and after a while, they saw steaming white air rising from Zhan Yunfei's head, circulating his inner breath, and emitting it on his skin.Although it was drizzling and foggy at this time, his wet sweater was slowly drying out. Fang Duobing only stared at the mud under his buttocks, obviously he didn't have any compliments in his heart.
While Fang Duosick was staring at Li Lianhua, Li Lianhua tied the three horses to the green bamboo beside him. The three horses lowered their heads and chewed the green grass, but they were in a relaxed state of mind. No wine?
liquor?Li Lianhua was ready and was looking around, suddenly startled by his question, why do I have alcohol?
Wouldn't it be wonderful to drink a sip or two of wine to warm up the body in this ghostly weather?Fang sickly shakes his head and brain, green mountains and green waters, smoke and water are blurred, how can he relieve his worries, only Du Kang
Li Lianhua sighed: If my surname is Cao, I might be angry. Fang Sickly was about to ask why he would be angry if his surname was Cao. He paused suddenly and looked towards the bamboo forest to the east.
how?Li Lianhua looked along the place where he was looking, only to see the darkness, and didn't know what Fang Duobing was looking at.
Fang Duoxing was still looking around, and after a while he murmured: Why do I feel that there is light?
Light?Li Lianhua looked at the place for a long time, and suddenly there was a yellow light flashing slightly in the thick fog, like a fire, what was that?
I don't know, could it be a will-o'-the-wisp?Fang Duoxing gave a dry laugh. It's raining now, he means it's still raining, where can the fire continue to burn when it's raining?
Li Lianhua shook her head, the fog was thick, even Erlangshen who had a third eye couldn't see what the glowing thing was, Zhan Yunfei was meditating, it was better to stay where he was.
But just as he was shaking his head, Fang Duobing's figure flickered, and he had already quietly searched for the luminous place.Li Lianhua stared wide-eyed, looked at Fang Sick's back, and then at Zhan Yunfei who was still meditating. Before he decided to stay or follow, Fang Sickness retreated.
how?he asked sensibly.
Fang Duoxie beamed with joy, pointing to the direction of the fire: there is a house over there.
house?Li Lianhua looked up at the sky. Although it was late, it was not yet dark, so she murmured, "I didn't see it just now."
We came around the hillside just now, the house is deep in the bamboo forest, the fire is coming out of the window, there must be someone inside.Fang Duo is very sick and full of enthusiasm. If he has a house, he doesn't need to be exposed to the rain. No matter whether the owner of this house is willing or not, he must go in and have a cup of tea and have a meal.
There are actually people living among these many bamboos. They must be either high-spirited people or literati.Li Lianhua slowly untied the reins of the three horses from the bamboo. Since you are afraid of the cold, then
Before he could finish his sentence, Fang Duosick flew into a rage: Who is afraid of the cold?If this young master hadn't seen you drenched, muddy and dying, you would be able to travel hundreds of miles a day in this kind of weather!
Seeing that Fang was sick and furious, Li Lianhua only said: Oh, ah, Zhan Yunfei is still adjusting his breath, you stay here to guard for him, I will lead the horse over to have a look first.
You knock on the door first, let the host make tea and pour wine, ready to entertain guests.Fang Duoxing felt happy, and asked if he could stay at home for a night, of course I would pay for it.He is a majestic young master of the Fang family, so naturally he will never take advantage of this kind of mountain villager.
Li Lianhua hummed, took two steps with the horse, and suddenly said: I heard the sound of water not far to the west, maybe there is a river.
river?Fang sickly frowned, what river?
He Li Lianhua thought for a long time, and said seriously, I remember more than ten years ago, at the bank of Fumei River under Qingzhu Mountain, that Li Xiangyi and Wumeizi Dongfang Qingzhong were fighting here
Before he finished speaking, Fang Sickness suddenly remembered, and said happily: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"How did I forget?That Dongfang Qingzhong is famous for being proficient in strange arts, especially loves to grow flowers. Li Xiangyi and Dongfang Qingzhong competed here for a plum blossom.At that time, Miss Qiao loved plums, and Sigumen passed by Qingzhu Mountain in order to deal with Di Feisheng, and saw a heterogeneous plum tree in the Meiyuan of Dongfang Qingzhong, which was so beautiful that Li Xiangyi asked Dongfang Qingzhong to give Sigumen a red plum, and the flowers should not be less than ten. seven.Because there were seventeen women in the Sigu Gate at that time, Dongfang Qingzhong refused, so the two competed in Meiyuan, Dongfang Qingzhong was defeated, and Li Xiangyi broke a branch of plum and went away. Later, he heard that Dongfang Qingzhong was defeated. My own plum garden burned, and I don't know where it ends.Although this matter is not considered a chivalrous event, it has fascinated many women in the Jianghu. I heard that many people wish to enter the Sigu Gate as a maidservant and slave, and if they can get a red plum as a present, they are willing to die, hahaha
Li Lianhua glanced at him and sighed: If you have a daughter in the future, you will never want such a harmful son-in-law.I mean that Meiyuan is beside the Fumei River, since the river is very close
Fang Sickly and Happy: That young master must go and read it later, maybe the plum tree that caused the incident is not dead, maybe there are some relics to see, Zhan Yunfei must know about it.Dead lotus, take your horse and knock on the door, and wait for me to fold the plum blossoms and go back so you can see it.
Li Lianhua nodded again and again: "Extremely!"
He led the horses slowly into the thick fog, and the three horses were held by him with one hand, and they were very obedient, walking quietly one step at a time.
Fang Duobing has always admired the various anecdotes about Xiangyi's great sword Li Xiangyi, and suddenly he heard that the site of the battle of Xunmei was nearby, so he was very excited.
2. The murderous house
Fog blurred.
Li Lianhua's whole body was wet, and the mud in the bamboo grove covered the edge of his shoes, making him look a bit down and out.In the dim light, his face was slightly pale, and although his brows were slightly elegant, they were not upright.
The three horses followed him obediently, and after a short walk, a courtyard came into view.
It was a courtyard with lights on the east side of the second floor. The courtyard was not big, but it was decorated with glazed green tiles. The carvings were exquisite and unconventional. The bright warm yellow lights on the second floor reflected the darkness in the courtyard. He coughed, and knocked on the door honestly: I was on my way in the cold night, and I came here by chance, may I ask if I can stay overnight?
There is an old man's voice hoarse and authentic inside the door: Qingzhu Mountain is cold, foggy and rainy. If you stay outside for a long time, you will get sick. There are many guest rooms in my former residence, and I have lived in a few rounds of passers-by. Young people, please come in cough cough pardon the old man If you are sick, you can't welcome them far away.
Li Lianhua pushed the door in. There was a slight click when she pushed the door, but there was a pipa lock hanging behind the door. It was shining brightly, and there were a few extremely thin handwriting engraved on the lock.
The lights in the room faltered, and a very young girl poked her head out: Grandpa, there is a scholar outside.
The girl seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old, Li Lianhua smiled at her, and she stuck out her tongue at him with a naughty expression: Who are you?Where did you come from?
I am Mr. Lee.Li Lianhua said seriously, I came from the east, and I wanted to cross the Fumei River and go to the northwest.
Brother Li.The girl beckoned to him, it was very cold outside, come in.
Li Lianhua nodded happily: It is indeed very cold outside, my clothes are all wet, I wonder if there is a place to warm up inside the door?As he said that, he hurried into the house, and it was indeed much warmer inside. An old man in a coat came out tremblingly with a cane: "This season is the coldest, and there is a guest room on the east side for you to stay for a while." stay.
Li Lianhua pointed to the door: I have two friends coming later, can I bother my husband together?
The old man was obese, but his cheeks were skinny, and he coughed a few times: "It's inconvenient to go out, since it's raining outside, let's come in together."
So thank you for your kindness.Li Lianhua was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked to the room the old man pointed out to him, took two or three steps, then suddenly turned around, made a long bow to the girl, and thanked her for her kindness.
The young girl kept looking at him with round eyes, and suddenly saw him thanking Dade for calling her sister, and burst out laughing, Li Lianhua bowed again and again, and then entered the guest room.
After entering the guest room, Li Lianhua lit the oil lamp.
The lights are gradually brightening, illuminating the surroundings. This is an ordinary guest room. There is nothing but a wooden bed. Even the oil lamp is placed on a pallet nailed to the wall. Nothing.
He quickly took off his coat, which was so wet that water dripped out, he slipped under the quilt in his semi-wet middle coat, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Before I could sleep for a cup of tea, I only heard the door slam, and someone raised his voice and shouted: Is anyone at home?Li Lianhua responded vaguely, and got up in a daze to open the door.
When passing through the courtyard, the cold wind outside the house was very biting, which woke him up. When the door opened, there were Fang Duobing and Zhan Yunfei outside. Fang Duobing stared at him, grabbed his chest, and said triumphantly. : I have known for a long time that you told me a story on purpose. It was either rape or robbery. As expected, Master Zhan told me as soon as he woke up. Although the place where Li Xiangyi and Dongfang Qingzhong competed was by the Fumei River, It's the mountainside at the other end of the Fumei River, and it's still seventeen or eight miles away from that river!He was shaking Li Lianhua, did you kid think of an excuse to send me and Daxia Zhan to go wandering around the barren mountains and ridges outside for a whole night, so that you can come here by yourself first? True or false?Dead lotus!Let me tell you, this young master has always been blessed with the same joys and sorrows, want to get rid of me?impossible!
Li Lianhua said sternly: "This statement is wrong. Thinking about where Li Xiangyi and Dongfang Qingzhong competed in the past, I'm afraid that Li Daxia had a lot of daily affairs at that time, even he himself can't remember clearly. I should know that I don't know."What's more, the old man here is kind and generous, and he will accept all outsiders to stay overnight, and even the guest room has already been prepared, so why should I let you two run around like that in the barren mountains?
Fang sickly and furious: that?which?Tell me clearly which one is on your mind?
Li Lianhua coughed: That Hong Fuye ran to Li Jing
Fang Sickly's voice suddenly rose: Hong Fu?
Li Lianhua said: Shh, that's Fengya, Fengya, don't shout loudly, be careful to wake up the old man, let him drive you out of the house.
Fang Duobing didn't let go of his breath, and still said in a strange tone: Old man?I stood outside the door for a long time, but I didn't see a ghost coming out. Since this is his house, why did you come to open the door?
Li Lianhua said: "Is this a barren mountain? An old man who is not easy to move lives in the mountains with a twelve or three-year-old child. Seven or eight guest rooms are prepared for people to stay in the dead of night. This kind of high moral integrity is different from ordinary people, so it is only natural that he will not answer when you knock on the door, let nature take its course.
Fang Duoxing was still out of breath from his anger. Hearing this paragraph of his mind turn a few times, he couldn't laugh or cry.Zhan Yunfei interjected lightly: There must be something wrong here, so be careful.
The room was still silent, the old man and the girl hadn't appeared just now, the lights had been turned off, and there was no sound.
Hey, dead lotus, not only did no one come out, there was no sound at all, not only no sound, there was no breath, did you really see anyone just now?After listening quietly for a while, Fang Duoxic said in surprise, there is not even a human voice here, is there really an old man?
Of course there is.Li Lianhua is serious and authentic, not only is there an old man, but there are several old men.
How many husbands are there?Fang Duoxing suddenly forgot that Li Lianhua abruptly compared him to Hongfu just now, where is it?
Li Lianhua pointed to the place where the old man came out just now: there.Then he pointed to the place where the girl went back, and there.
Zhan Yunfei slowed down his breathing, put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and quietly approached the two rooms. Li Lianhua sighed: there were two dead people in the room on the left, and there were also two dead people in the room on the right.
Fang Duoxing's expression was serious, and he was about to rush into the room in a flash. Li Lianhua raised his hand: "Wait a minute, it's poisonous."
poison?Fang was very sick, how did you know that there were four dead people, and how did you know that it was poisonous?
I don't know anything.Li Lianhua smiled wryly, I only know that something is obviously wrong with this place, but if it is a trap, it is too obvious, how can ordinary old people and young children live alone in this barren mountain for a long time?There are no vegetable fields or fish ponds here, and it is tens of miles away from the township. Even if the family has a treasure house and is not short of money, can they often trek tens of miles with hundreds of catties of rice on their backs?Not to mention being so welcoming to strangers who come late at night, the only explanation is that they welcome passers-by, no matter who they are.
Then?As expected, Zhan Yunfei never talked nonsense, and asked simply and directly.
Then I moved in, but I didn't find anything weird. There were third and fourth faint breathing sounds in the left and right rooms.Li Lianhua sighed, but less than a cup of tea time after I lay down, the breathing of the four people on the left and right suddenly stopped.In such a short period of time, without making any sound, and no one came in or out, the four living people suddenly lost their breath, and the person who can kill people so invisible is probably highly poisonous.
Nonsense!You said that these big living people lived in your own house, and they were suddenly poisoned to death by yourself in the middle of the night, but you, the guest, were not poisoned to death. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense, since they welcomed you and didn't harm you, how could they kill themselves?
Maybe they are not the real owners of this room.Li Lianhua said sternly, this room is too clean, someone must take care of it carefully, there is a yin and yang character lock on the door, the owner probably likes tricks, maybe he is proficient in tricks, if the two I met were just trapped in the house When I went out, I suddenly met a passer-by who had thrown himself into the net and wanted to enter the house, so naturally he wanted to try his best to keep him.
Stuck indoors?Fang sickly wondered, there is nothing in this room, how can a living person be trapped?My son can go if he wants to
Zhan Yunfei interrupted him: Those two people just now are already dead.Fang Duobing was taken aback, Zhan Yunfei pushed the scabbard, and the door on the left slowly opened, only to see a rickety old man sitting on a chair, staring blankly at the roof beams, he had died for a long time.
Fang Duobing immediately took a deep breath. There was nothing unusual in the room. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was that besides the old man on the chair, there was another dead body in the room.
A body with gray beard and hair, wearing coarse clothes, and bare feet, it can be seen at a glance that it is the corpse of an ordinary villager, and it is also an old man.
The corpse was sitting against the wall, obviously not the same way as the well-dressed old man who died on the chair.Could it be that this is also one of the passers-by trapped in this room?
The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, they were already familiar with the world, yet they looked at each other in shock.
There was no strange smell in the room, as if the old man who was still alive before the cup of tea was just asleep, everything was unbelievably quiet.
Zhan Yunfei held his breath, and pushed open the door of another room with his scabbard. There were two people inside that door, one was a beautiful woman in her thirties, and the other was that innocent-looking child. But they are also two corpses, without any breath.
Fang Duo was in a daze, at this moment all the doors and windows in this room became a little eerie: Could it be that there are ghosts here?
Zhan Yunfei shook his head, he stared at the girl's death and she was prostrate on the ground with her head facing southeast.He pushed the scabbard again, and a cupboard next to the door was suddenly moved two feet horizontally by him, revealing a small spot on the wall.
The air hole Fang Sickly murmured, could it be that the poisonous gas was released through the air hole, killing the two of them in an instant?God, is this an organ house?
The three looked around, but this clean and empty courtyard seemed to be more unfathomable than any enemy the three had encountered.
Li Lianhua took a step back and said slowly: Maybe we should try whether we can quit now
Fang Duoxing nodded repeatedly, suddenly shook his head, thought for a while and nodded again.Li Lianhua flitted away halfway through her sentence, and stopped when she reached the gate of the courtyard.
Zhan Yunfei asked in a deep voice: How is it?
Toxic fog.Li Lianhua lit up the fire pocket, turned around to face the cold rain and heavy fog outside the door, and murmured that the reason why they locked themselves in the room was because the thick fog was under the light of the fire pocket, and only the thick fog just now The thick fog gradually changed its color, the paleness was slightly blue-green, it was indescribably strange.
Toxic fog?Fang Duobing and Zhan Yunfei's faces changed color. They walked in the fog for a long time, but they didn't realize that there was poison in the fog. Was there poison in the fog?
Li Lianhua stared at the fog for a while, then suddenly reached out and took out a square scarf, and threw it into the misty fog not far away.After a while, he waved his sleeves to cover his face, ran into the mist and picked up the kerchief, only to see that the white kerchief was already soaked, and in this short moment, three or four tiny holes could be seen on the kerchief. , was actually caused by corrosion.
Fang's sickly hair stood on end, if the mist was inhaled into the lungs, wouldn't the internal organs be pierced through seventeen or eight small holes in an instant?He said: This poisonous mist is so poisonous, we also inhaled a lot just now, how can it be all right?
Presumably there is something highly poisonous near here that can dissolve in the water vapor.Li Lianhua murmured, only when the fog is thick enough to a certain extent can the poison enter the fog. We were lucky to get here without incident.
Zhan Yunfei suddenly said: As long as we can spend the night here, we can go out after dawn when the moisture decreases.Li Lianhua nodded and sighed again.
Fang Duobing couldn't help but said: The dead people in this room thought the same thing, but before the poisonous mist came in, he died first.This house is no better than the poisonous fog outside
This place and this house are all built for murder.Zhan Yunfei said indifferently, the owner's hobby is very vicious.
That's right, he doesn't care who he kills at all, it seems that he is very happy as long as someone dies here.Fang Duobing gritted his teeth, how could there be such an inexplicable murderer in the world, I have been around the rivers and lakes for so long, and I have never heard of such a ghostly place!
have!Zhan Yunfei said, there is such a place.
Where?Fang Duo sickly stares, why has this young master never heard of it.
Zhan Yunfei said: "The whole house."
The whole house was built by the first organ master of the Jinluan League in the past, Amansa. It is said that there are a total of 199 organs in it. No one who was imprisoned in it survived, and the death was either poisoned, or stabbed, or Burning, or acupuncture, or chopping, or frying everything, only people can't imagine, there is no method of killing that the whole house can't do.
But it is said that the whole house is resplendent and magnificent, it is a building inlaid with gold and jewels, full of exotic customs, it is definitely not such an ordinary courtyard.Moreover, the whole house has been placed in the main altar of the Golden Luan League, and it was destroyed by the joint sword of Li Xiangyi and Xiao Zijin eleven years ago, so naturally it will not suddenly reappear here.
Fang Duobing had never heard of the name of the whole house, and after Zhan Yunfei told the story in a few words, he hated why he didn't make his debut eleven years ago, and hated Zhan Yunfei for being vague. Fei dug out many of the stories in his mind and put them in his own mind to retell them for him before he felt comfortable.
The story can be told again, but if you don’t enter the house, the fog outside will come.Li Lianhua sighed again and again, hurry up, hurry up.
Fang Duobing suddenly rushed into the room, the three of them stood in the hall for a while, and then squeezed into the guest room where Li Lianhua slept just now.
Li Lianhua thought for a while, then came out and closed the door, and then closed the door of the guest room, as if it could resist the invisible poisonous mist. A piece of quilt firmly blocked the cracks in the door and windows, but Fang Duobing knew that there was a silent murderous poison in the house, so if he sealed it up, he might die faster.
This room is not big, three big men are crowded together, there is not even a place to sit, Li Lianhua thought about it, and started to tear down the bed.
Fang Sick was afraid that there would be air holes behind the bed that could breathe out poisonous gas, so he hurriedly joined hands with him.
Zhan Yunfei drew out his saber: You two get out of the way.Li Lianhua dragged Fang Duobing and fled to the corner immediately, only to see the sword light soared, and with a crisp sound, the wooden bed had become a pile of evenly sized slag.
Li Lianhua praised: "Good swordsmanship."
Fang Duobing snorted, obviously he didn't realize the greatness of this chopping wood swordsmanship, it was Si Lianhua's own extremely poor martial arts that made all the fuss.
After the bed was broken, the wall was exposed, but there were no air holes in the wall.Zhan Yunfei didn't relax his vigilance, he beat around the room with his sword, but he didn't come up with any new tricks, it seemed like a very ordinary room.
Could it be that this night can be dealt with so easily?Zhan Yunfei was looking at the wall, but Fang Duobing kept staring at the pile of wooden beds that had been split into pieces. There was nothing to see in this room except for the pile of wooden beds. Suddenly he yelled: Ants!
Zhan Yunfei turned his head suddenly, and saw many black spots crawling out of the broken wood, which were ants.It turned out that the wood of the wooden bed was hollow, and there was an ant nest in the middle. Zhan Yunfei smashed the wooden bed, and the ants crawled out after being disturbed.
This is by no means a nest of ordinary ants. These ants are half the size of a fingernail, no less than ten times larger than ordinary ants. The two pairs of stings are orange-red, and black and red correspond to each other. It looks shocking.Fang Duobing stared dumbfounded at the ants that kept crawling out, imagining what it would be like once these things crawled on him, he immediately shuddered.
Many ants crawled out suddenly, although all three of them were masters of the rivers and lakes, it seemed that slapping ants had nothing to do with the level of martial arts.
I saw that the three of them started to kill ants at the same time by coincidence. At the beginning, Fang was sick and greeted with Furong Jiucut Zhang and Lingbo Shiba slapping, and suddenly saw that Li Lianhua slapped two or three ants without slowing down. Started to slash left and right and kill indiscriminately.
The wooden bed was not big after all, and the owner who designed the ant mechanism obviously did not expect that three people would get into such a small room. It's not a problem if there are a few big ones left.Fang Duobing wiped the sweat from his brow, let out a breath, and raised his head, but saw that Zhan Yunfei and Li Lianhua's faces were not relieved: What's the matter?Got bitten?
Zhan Yunfei glanced at Li Lianhua lightly: What do you think?
Li Lianhua sighed: Listen.
Just after the plague of ants was over, there was a muffled thud, something stomped heavily on the ground, and the wall shook slightly. Nearby, there was a heavy thing slowly coming towards them from the backyard. The footsteps sounded obviously not like a person, but they didn't know what it was. The terrible thing was that this thing didn't even have the sound of breathing!
Not people, not animals!
Could it be
There was a loud bang, and the three people in the room suddenly stood against the wall, and one wall collapsed, and a monster that looked like a human being but not a human, and a beast that was not a beast crashed into a wall and penetrated in, and then there was a flash of coldness, the origin was unknown Suddenly, six knives and swords protruded from the body of the thing that didn't look like knives or swords. He only heard six sounds in a row, and the six blades entered the wall together, and Li Lianhua and Zhan Yunfei jumped up. , Fang Duo rolled on the ground sickly, luckily he was not injured.
A light flickered outside the door, and the thing that broke through the wall was neither human nor beast, but a huge and weird iron cage.
It didn't walk over by itself, but it has been propped on the rockery in the backyard. After the wooden bed in the house was broken, it didn't know what connection it had with the iron cage on the rockery, and the iron cage rolled down the slope.
This thing is extremely heavy, and this wall is extremely thin, so it is no wonder that it will be pierced when it hits it. There are obviously many hidden weapons in the iron cage. Before the jumping two fell to the ground, dozens of points of cold light shot out from the iron cage with a buzzing sound. Zhan Yunfei drew his sword in mid-air, but he heard a chaotic sound of jingling, and he knocked down the dozens of points of cold light one by one.
Fang Duobing rolled to the side of the iron cage, pulled out the jade flute, and struck the iron cage hard, with a crisp clang, the iron cage was not damaged at all, obviously it was also a foreign object.
After Fang Duobing's blow, he knew something was wrong, and immediately rolled on the ground again, the iron cage was hit by him, and the iron skin scattered in all directions with a bang, revealing the second outer shell, which was like a wolf's tooth. Sharp and jagged.The lasing iron sheet was also extremely sharp, it passed over Fang Sick's head, shot into the wall with a bang, and penetrated two points into the wall.
Fang Duoxic yelled in his heart: Be so obedient!Before he had time to rejoice that he had escaped, he suddenly felt a pain in his leg, and he turned over and sat up, stunned for a while, and pressed his calf.
Li Lianhua and Zhan Yunfei turned their heads at the same time, but when they saw that Fang Duo rolled on the ground sickly, and rolled over the black hidden weapon that Zhan Yunfei swiped off just now, his legs were immediately bleeding.Zhan Yunfei immediately rushed to his side, scraped the tip of his sword, picked out the hidden weapon, his face changed a little: don't talk, it's poisonous!
At this moment, Fang Sickly's leg was already numb, and his heart was half cold. He had been walking in the rivers and lakes for several years, and he had not really experienced any serious dangers. Could it be that this time
The sound of carrying Li Lianhua on his back suddenly sounded, Zhan Yunfei had a flash of thought, before he could figure out the situation, he felt a pain in his chest, and something came out of his chest.
He looked down at the long arrow protruding from his chest, his throat felt sweet, and he looked back at Li Lianhua: outside
Fang Duobing saw with his own eyes that Zhan Yunfei was shot through the chest by an arrow right next to him, he was stunned for a moment, thinking it was just a dream.At the moment he was stunned, Li Lianhua flashed over, with a crisp ding, he somehow cut off the arrow body that pierced through the wall and shot into Zhan Yunfei's back, and held Zhan Yunfei flat to him. corner of the station.
Zhan Yunfei waited to say more, Li Lianhua stared at him, smiled slightly, shook his head, and gestured for silence.
Zhan Yunfei shut up immediately, Li Lianhua pulled out the broken arrow, tapped his four acupoints, and let him lie flat on the ground, Zhan Yunfei saw him making lips: don't move.So he nodded, and gradually began to understand in his heart that there were indeed no living people in the courtyard, but someone was hiding outside the courtyard, following the sound and shooting arrows with a strong bow to hurt people.
Weird iron cage, mysterious archer, four dead bodies, and poisonous mist.
In this courtyard, what will happen tonight?
Is it a deliberate ambush, or an unintentional coincidence?
Were they caught in a trap targeting Fobinestone, or were they just stepping into someone else's game at the wrong time?
Fang Duobing was paralyzed all over his body, he couldn't move, and his mind seemed to be frozen. He just stared at the wolf-like iron cage in front of him motionlessly.
Li Lianhua stood quietly in the haze, while Zhan Yunfei fell to the ground seriously injured.
At this moment, a light blue poisonous mist slowly floated in from the damaged part of the wall.
3. Hole punching
At this time, Li Lianhua stretched out her hand to cover his eyes, and then the acupuncture point on his back felt numb, and he didn't know anything.
Fang Duo was ill, and Zhan Yunfei was seriously injured and fell to the ground. Li Lianhua took a look at the poisonous mist, suddenly picked off the sickly coat underneath, and carefully walked around the weird iron cage that was still, and took the debris from the wooden bed. For the nails, nail the coat to the big hole in the wall.
Turning around, the iron cage was less than a foot behind him. Although this thing was not a living person, it was bloody to the touch.Zhan Yunfei was not in a coma. Although the arrow pierced through the lungs, Li Lianhua's acupoint pressure was gentle, causing the accumulated blood to flow out without stagnating in the lungs. The injury was not fatal.
Even at this moment, if he is asked to draw his sword and fight for his life, he can still exert his power with 80% success, but when Li Lianhua wants him to lie down, he will lie down.
He admired this person very much when he was young, and after more than ten years, even though this person is no longer a teenager, in Zhan Yunfei's eyes, he has not changed.
So he is obedient.
Taking the person's will as will is called instinct.
When Zhan Yunfei thought that it was an instinct to take this person's will as his will, Li Lianhua stared at the fang-covered monster worryingly. This thing obviously had countless organs hidden in it, and it would be activated with just a slight vibration or touch. It's such a big piece of hot potato, but it's covered with thorns and there's nowhere to eat it. What's more, this thing looks so much like a chair with thorns that he can't help but want to laugh after looking at it a few more times.
what to do?
The poisonous mist outside the house slowly soaked Fang Shoubing's long robe, but the clothes in Fang's family were of excellent quality, and since Young Master Fang was a troublemaker, the clothes the family bought for him were ordinary silk with a little gold mixed in. , can make the clothes more tough, and can slightly block the blow of weapons.
Just like this, the clothes did not corrode immediately in the poisonous fog, but slowly drenched, the moisture outside the house slowly slid down the robe, condensed into drops of poisonous water, and formed puddles on the ground ，居然沒有侵入屋內。
李蓮花想了很久，突然趴在地上聽了聽，又摸了摸屋裡的地面，這屋地上鋪的是尋常的地磚，他轉身在方多病身上摸索了一陣，摸出一柄劍來。
此劍名為爾雅，方多病持它橫行江湖久矣，後來嫌長劍俗了，就換了支玉笛。李蓮花想方設法叫他吹一曲來聽聽，方多病卻不肯。
這一次紀漢佛信函相邀，四顧門當年以劍聞名，現在的門主蕭紫衿也以劍霸天下，他也就偷偷摸摸地又把爾雅帶了出來。
此劍為方氏重金專門為方多病打造，劍形單薄輕巧，劍柄鑲以明珠白玉，非常華麗，與方多病的氣質十分相融。李蓮花輕輕拔出爾雅，不發出絲毫聲息，隨即極輕極輕地在地上劃了一劍。
劍入寸許，毫不費力。展雲飛臉上露出驚訝之色，此劍之利不在任何傳聞中的名劍之下，卻是籍籍無名。李蓮花在地上劃了個三尺來長三尺來寬的方框，爾雅入地一尺有餘，這是柄難得的寶劍，他卻當作鋸子來用。
將地磚割開之後，他將方多病抱了過來，放在展雲飛身旁，手一揚，將爾雅往一側牆上射去，隨即將手掌按在那被他切畫出來的方框上。
叮的一聲劍入數寸，隨之篤的一聲箭鳴，院外那人果然還在等待他們發出聲響，一支長箭幾乎不差分毫射入爾雅貫入的牆壁。牆壁微微一震，地面也輕輕一抖，地上那鐵籠砰的一聲再度射出數十點黑芒。
李蓮花手掌已然按在地磚上，這切下的地磚少說也有數十近百斤，卻見他以黏勁一揮掌將地上那一大塊地磚硬生生抬了起來，地下露出一個大坑。
鐵籠射出黑芒，再度往前滾動，只聽轟的一聲，那東西驀地掉進李蓮花硬生生挖開的坑裡，叮咚乒乓一陣亂滾，突地聲音漸消漸遠，卻不見暗器射出。
李蓮花掌運黏勁橫起那一大塊地磚和黃土，正好擋拄鐵籠第一輪黑芒暗器，此時院外那弓手顯然也聽出屋內情況不對，篤篤篤一連三響，三支長箭貫牆而入，弓弦聲不絕於耳，他顯然已不再聽聲發箭，而是不管人在何處，是死是活，他都要亂箭將這屋裡的東西射成刺蝟。
三尺長三尺寬的泥板擋不住屋外勁道驚人的長箭，李蓮花匆匆探頭一看，方才被他翻起的地方露出一個大洞，難怪那鐵籠一掉下去便不見蹤影。
此時要命的長箭在前，顧不得地下是什麼玩意，他抓起方多病，當先往大洞跳了進去。展雲飛按住胸口傷處，隨即跳下，地下並不太深，下躍丈許之後，後腰有人輕輕一托，一股熱氣自後腰流轉全身，展雲飛落地站穩：不必如此。
助他落地的是李蓮花，這房間下的大洞是個天然洞穴，自頭頂破口露出的微光看來，四面潮濕，左右各有幾條通道，自己站立的這條似乎是主幹，筆直向下。方才跌落的那古怪鐵籠正是沿著向下的通道一路滾了下去，在沿途四壁釘滿了黑芒暗器。
這是展雲飛皺眉，溶洞？
但凡山奇水秀，多生溶洞，青竹山山雖不奇，水也不秀，但馬馬虎虎也是有山有水，因此山裡有個溶洞也並不怎麼稀奇。
李蓮花嘆了口氣：嗯，溶洞，溶洞不要命，要命的是這是個有寶藏的溶洞
treasure?展雲飛奇道，什麼寶藏？
李蓮花在方多病身上按來按去，不知是在助他逼毒，還是在摸索他身上是否還有什麼救命的法寶：展大俠。
展雲飛極快地道：展雲飛。
李蓮花對他露齒一笑：你不覺得外面那些要射死我們的箭有點不可理喻彷彿只因我們踏入屋中卻沒有死，他氣得發瘋非射死我們不可
展雲飛頷首：不錯，而且那些箭不是人力所發，也是出於機關。
李蓮花連連點頭：不錯，即便是弓箭高手，也不可能以這等強勁的內力連發十來箭，箭箭相同，這箭穿牆之後仍能傷人，若是人力所發，抵得上二、三十年苦練。
展雲飛突然笑了笑：這箭若是人射的，我早已死了。
李蓮花又連連點頭：所以，外面有個人，他手上持有能射出長箭的厲害機關，他不懼毒霧，他意圖殺人但他又不敢進來，為什麼？
展雲飛淡淡地道：自然是他不能進來。
不錯，在我們殺螞蟻的時候，鐵籠射暗器的時候，因為聲音太雜，他無法射箭，說明這人聽力不好。李蓮花正色道，若非受了重傷，便是不會武功。
展雲飛笑了：他也許不會武功，似他精通機關。
李蓮花也笑了：不錯，他不怕毒霧，他精通機關，他知道從哪個角度射箭箭能穿牆，死在這屋裡的四個人卻既怕毒霧，又不通機關，所以
所以很可能屋外的那個，才是真正的屋主。展雲飛苦笑，如果外面的是屋主，那麼他為什麼在外面？
那問題自然是出在四個死人身上。李蓮花又嘆了口氣，而我們不幸成了那四個死人的同夥
兩人面面相覷，過了半晌，展雲飛問：這和寶藏有什麼關係？
那四個死人死在兩間屋裡，既不像同道，也不像同門。李蓮花道，看起來彼此感情很差，能讓一些不同道的人聚集在一起的事有幾件。一是開會，二是尋仇，三是尋歡作樂，四是寶藏他東張西望了一下，苦笑道，你覺得像哪個？
展雲飛啞口無言，喉頭動了一下：這
這件事的蹊蹺之處還有很多。李蓮花突地道，這整件事他的聲音戛然而止，左邊通道之中突然露出了一張臉。
那是一張蒼白的臉，臉頰消瘦得只剩下如同骷髏的輪廊，眼圈黑得驚人，見到有人站在溶洞中，尖叫一聲，撲了過來。李蓮花見他撲得踉蹌，還打不定主意是要阻要扶，卻見那人摔在方多病身前，定睛一看，卻又慘叫一聲，踉踉蹌蹌地奔了回去。
展雲飛一怔，李蓮花喃喃地道：我早就說你這副骨瘦如柴的樣子遲早要嚇到人，這人原本要出來吃人，竟也被你嚇跑
老子倒也是想要嚇跑，只是跑不動而已。躺在地上昏迷不醒的方多病突然有氣無力地道，這是什麼鬼地方？
李蓮花彎下腰來溫柔地看著他：這是個鬼窟。
方多病躺在地上，一點站起來的意思都沒有：我怎麼到了這裡？
李蓮花指了指頭頂：我在地上挖了個坑，坑裡突然有個洞，於是我們就跳了下來。
方多病咳嗽了兩聲：他奶奶的，為什麼每次你在地上打洞，洞裡都會有些別的
他終於坐了起來，在自己身上摸了幾下，身上的麻痹已經好了大半，他仔細一看，腿上的傷口流出一大堆黑血，不知是誰助他運功逼毒，將體內的毒血逼出了大半。
方多病運功一調，內息居然沒有大損，心下一樂，能助人逼毒而不損真元，這等功力非展雲飛莫屬。沒想到這位大俠自己中箭受傷，還有這等功力，不愧是當年能與李相夷動手的人啊！
在身上摸了好一會兒，確認四肢俱在，體膚完整，方大公子終於搖搖晃晃站了起來：現在我們要怎麼辦？
這裡是個溶洞，洞裡有許多岔路，在其他岔道裡有人。展雲飛說話簡單幹練，這裡有古怪。
方多病聽得莫名其妙：什麼和什麼？
李蓮花慢吞吞地道：那座充滿機關的屋子，還有殺人的毒霧，就蓋在這個溶洞頂上。我猜這溶洞裡或許有什麼寶物，引了很多人來這裡尋寶，上面那屋子的主人只怕誤以為我們也是
方多病脫口接話：來尋寶的？他奶奶的，老子家裡金山銀山寶石山都堆在豬窩了，誰稀罕什麼寶物？殺人也不先問問行情，真他媽的莫名其妙！
這底下恐怕有不少人。李蓮花正在聽聲辨位，幾條通道中都傳來人聲，遙遠而複雜，問題問題恐怕不僅僅是寶藏。
展雲飛胸口流血過多，有些目眩，微微一晃，方多病連忙扶住他，他自己卻是個跛子，兩個人都踉蹌了幾步。
李蓮花左顧右盼，喃喃地道：我看我看我們最大的問題是要先找個地方躺躺，可惜這下面都是餓鬼，若是有些食水，下面也不算太壞，這邊他一隻手扶住展雲飛，一隻手托住方多病，三人一起慢慢地在通道中走動起來。
地下溶洞四通八達，要找到條出路很難，但要鑽得更深卻很容易，三個人轉了幾圈，就找到了個不大不小的洞穴，艱困地躲了進去。
四面八方的通道裡有不少人，不知道為了什麼聚集在這裡，其中有一些似乎已經餓瘋了，還有個神秘古怪的機關客就在頭頂上等著殺人，不管這一切是為了什麼，先養好自己的傷才是上上之策。
這是個約莫可以容得下五個人的洞穴，展雲飛胸口有傷，一坐下就閉目養神，不再說話，方多病卻開始懷念起他家英翠樓、雪玉舫、洪江一枝春茶樓等酒樓裡妙不可言的菜餚，忍不住從蜜汁松雞說到芙蓉香雪湯再說到燒烤孔雀腿、油炸小蜻蜓，李蓮花本來很有耐心地聽著，聽到最後終於忍不住嘆了口氣：我很想說餓了，但實在又不餓了。
你肚子餓的時候連崑崙山上的蚯蚓都吃，這下還怕起蜻蜓來了？方多病嗤之以鼻，當老子不知道你前年在崑崙山上迷路了啊？那白茫茫的滿山是雪，除了幾隻蚯蚓啥也沒有，你不也吃得開開心心的？
李蓮花正色道：那叫做冬蟲夏草他看了方多病腿上的傷口一眼，走得動嗎？
方多病腿上仍然乏力，但既然李蓮花問了，他單腳跳也要蹦得比他快，立刻道：走得動走得動！how?
李蓮花指了指展雲飛：展大俠外傷很重，這底下不太安全，你既然走得動，去給他弄點水回來。
方多病張口結舌，指著自己的鼻子：我？就我一個人去？
李蓮花道：外頭餓壞的瘋子見了你就跑，自然是你去。
方多病瞪眼道：那你呢？
李蓮花一本正經地道：我當然是坐在這裡休息。
方多病目瞪口呆，只聽他又道：快去快回，展大俠失血太多，定要喝水。方多病被他用展大俠的大帽子扣了兩次，狠狠地瞪了他兩眼，搖搖晃晃地走了出去，方多病離開不久，李蓮花伸指往展雲飛胸前點去，展雲飛雙目一睜，一把抓住他的手，淡淡地道：不需如此。
李蓮花柔聲道：別逞強，年紀也不輕了，你又還沒娶老婆，自己應該多照顧自己一些。他繼續在展雲飛胸口點了幾下，揚州慢的內勁透入氣脈，展雲飛失血雖多，元氣不散，胸前背後的傷口均在收口。
展雲飛鬆開手，臉上也不見什麼感激之色，過了半晌，他道：你的功力
李蓮花微笑：現在你若是爬起來和我比武，我自是非輸不可。
展雲飛搖了搖頭，他從不是多話的人，這次卻有些執著，一字字地問：可是當年在東海所受的傷？
李蓮花道，也不全是。
展雲飛沒再問下去，吐出一口氣，他伸手去摸劍柄，一摸卻摸了個空。
就在這時，不遠處微微一響，兩人隨即安靜下來，只聽隱約的鐵器拖地聲緩緩而過，接著軲轆聲響，又似有車輪經過。聲響來自不遠處的另外一條通道，那拖地的鐵器聲很輕，等到聲音遠離，展雲飛壓低聲奇道：鐵鏈。
李蓮花頷首：不錯，那鐵器拖地之聲正是幾條鐵鏈，在這古怪的溶洞之中，是誰身帶鐵鏈而過？
鐵鏈聲過去，洞口白影一閃，只穿著中衣，顯得更是骨瘦如柴的方多病抱了個直口寶珠頂的瓷罐回來，竟是平安無事。
李蓮花忙忙地去看那瓷罐，瓷罐裡確實裝著清水，展雲飛失血過多的確也口渴了，也不客氣，就著瓷罐便喝起水來。方多病面有慚色地看著他喝水，李蓮花看了方多病一眼，嘆了口氣：這是從哪裡摸來的死人罐子？
他的話一說出口，展雲飛似乎嗆了口氣，但還是繼續喝水，方多病乾笑道：你怎麼知道？
李蓮花敲了敲那瓷罐：這東西叫將軍罐，是專門用來放骨灰的，這地下難道是座古墓？
方多病聳聳肩，指了指外面：我沿著來路走，一路上半個人都沒看到，一直走到你打洞下來的地方。我想那鐵籠怪的暗器這麼厲害，它滾下去的地方大概不會再有活人，就沿著鐵籠怪滾下去的路走。
李蓮花欣然道：你果然是越來越聰明了。
方多病得意洋洋，摸了塊石頭坐下，蹺起二郎腿：走到底有座湖，我四處摸不到裝水的東西，突然看見湖邊堆滿了這玩意，就抓了一個，倒空裝水回來。
李蓮花怔了怔：湖邊堆滿了這玩意？
方多病點頭：堆得像堵牆一樣。
展雲飛不再喝水，沉聲問：罐裡當真有骨骸？
方多病被他的語氣嚇了一跳：死人罐裡當然有骨骸，老子也不是故意用這個替你裝水回來的，骨骸被老子抖進水裡，罐子也洗乾淨了
李蓮花皺起眉頭：這地下如果放了許多骨灰罐子，或許或許這裡真是座墓。方多病抓了抓頭皮：墓？可是下面全是水啊，有人在水坑裡修墓的嗎？
李蓮花喃喃地道：天知道，但這可是個不但有許多死人，還有許多活人鑽進來的地方他突地往地上一躺，天色已晚，還是先睡一覺好了。
方多病心裡一樂，也大咧咧的躺下：老子今天是真的累了。
展雲飛閉目打坐，以他們在竹林中迷路的時間計算，此時已近二更，的確是晚了。
不管溶洞中究竟是寶藏或墓穴，一切疑問都可等明日再說。
但李蓮花和方多病睡得著，他卻不敢睡。
劍不在手，方才那奇怪的鐵鏈之聲也讓他有些緊繃，在蘄家住得久了，再過上危機四伏的日子，他竟有些不適應。
這一夜過得出奇的安靜，寂然無聲，彷彿溶洞裡這一塊角落全然被人遺棄了。展雲飛不敢睡，但揚州慢的真力點在身上，前胸後背暖洋洋的很是舒服，坐著坐著不知何時朦朧睡去。當他醒來的時候，李蓮花和方多病還在睡，他不禁露出苦笑，身在險境，竟有人能睡得如此舒服，倒是了不起。
又過了好一會兒，方多病打了個大哈欠，懶洋洋地起身，閉著眼睛四處摸索了一陣，沒找到衣裳，茫然睜大眼睛，過了一會兒才想起自己那外衣從昨天醒來就不見了。
李蓮花被他無端摸了兩下，也茫然坐了起來，呆呆地看了方多病好一會兒，眨眨眼睛，眼裡全是迷茫：幹什麼？
方多病喃喃地問：我的衣服呢？
李蓮花本能地搖搖頭：你的衣服不見了，我怎會知道突然想起他那件價值千金的衣服確實是被自己拿去當門簾了，頓時噎住。
方多病一見他臉上的表情，立刻怒道：本公子的衣服呢？
李蓮花乾笑：扔毒霧裡了。
方多病大怒：那一早起來我穿什麼？
李蓮花道：在這地下黑不嚨咚，穿什麼都一樣
方多病冷笑：極是極是，既然穿什麼都一樣，那你的衣服脫下來讓給我穿！
李蓮花一把抓住自己的衣袖，抵死不讓：萬萬不可，你我斯文之人，豈可做那辱沒斯文之事
方多病暴怒：他奶奶的，你脫老子衣服就是英雄好漢，老子要脫你衣服就是辱沒斯文了？你當老子稀罕你那件破衣服？老子要穿你衣服那是你的榮幸
那兩人為一件衣服打成一團，展雲飛只做看不見，耳聽八方，眼觀左右是否有什麼動靜。方多病眼看逮不住李蓮花，突地施展一招左右逢源，一腳將李蓮花絆倒，雙手各施擒拿將他按住，得意洋洋地去扒他的衣服。
李蓮花當即大叫一聲：且慢！我有新衣服給你穿
此言一出，不但方多病一怔，連展雲飛都大感意外。昨夜混亂之際，大家的行李都扔在馬上，李蓮花哪來的新衣服？
方多病更是奇了：新衣服？你也會有新衣服？
李蓮花好不容易從他手裡爬起來，灰頭土臉頭昏眼花，甩了甩頭：嗯啊衣服都是從新的變成舊的
方多病斜眼看著他，那衣服呢？
李蓮花從懷裡扯出一個小小的布包，方多病皺眉看著那布包，這麼小一團東西，會是一件衣服？
展雲飛眼見這布包，腦中乍然一響，這是
李蓮花打開那布包，方多病眼前驟然一亮，那是團極柔和雪白的東西，泛著極淡的珠光，似綢非綢，雖然被揉成了一團，卻沒有絲毫皺褶。他還沒搞清楚這是什麼，展雲飛已低呼出聲：嬴珠！
嬴珠？方多病彷彿依稀聽過這名字：嬴珠？
展雲飛過了片刻才道：嬴珠甲。
嬴珠甲？方多病只覺得自己的頭嗡的一聲被轟得七葷八素：嬴嬴嬴嬴嬴珠甲？
展雲飛點了點頭：不錯。
嬴珠甲，那是百年前蘇州富商進貢朝廷的貢品，據傳此物以異種蛛絲織就，刀劍難傷，雖不及盈握，穿在身上卻是夏日清涼如水，冬日溫暖如熙，有延年益壽之功。嬴珠甲進貢朝廷後，被御賜給當年的鎮邊大將軍蕭政為護身內甲，傳為一時佳話。回朝後蕭政將此物珍藏府中，本欲靜候聖上歸天之時將嬴珠甲歸還同葬，不料一日深夜，在大將軍府森嚴戒備之下，此物在藏寶庫中突然被盜，此案至今仍是懸案，又過了數十年，此物在倚紅樓珍寶宴上出現，位列天下寶物第八，結果珍寶宴被金鸞盟攪局，天下皆知嬴珠甲落到笛飛聲手上，又隨著金鸞盟被殲滅而銷聲匿跡。
卻不想這東西今日竟然出現在李蓮花手中。方多病叫了那一聲後，傻了好一會兒：死蓮花，這東西怎麼會在你手裡？
這問題不但方多病想知道，展雲飛也想知道，這是笛飛聲的東西，為何會在李蓮花手裡？
李蓮花面對兩雙眼睛，乾笑了好一陣子：那個
方多病哼了一聲：少裝蒜，快說！這東西哪裡來的？
李蓮花乾笑得更厲害了：只怕我說了你們不信。
方多病不耐煩地道：先說了再說，這東西在你手裡本身就是天大的古怪，不管你說什麼我都不太相信。
這東西是我從海上撿來的。李蓮花正色道，那天風和日麗，我坐船在海上漂啊漂的，突然看見一個布袋從船邊漂過去，我就撿回來了，天地良心，我可萬萬沒有胡說，這東西的的確確就是在那海上到處亂漂
海上？方多病張大嘴巴，難道當年李相夷和笛飛聲一戰，打沉金鸞盟大船的時候，你正好在那附近坐船？
李蓮花道：這個這個
他一時想不出什麼話來應答，展雲飛卻已明瞭，突然笑了笑：約莫是笛飛聲自負武功高強，從來不穿嬴珠甲，只把這件衣服放在身邊。那艘大船被李相夷三劍斬碎，沉入大海，船裡的東西隨海水漂流，被你撿到了吧？
他很少笑，這一笑把方多病嚇了一跳，李蓮花連連點頭，欽佩至極地看著展雲飛：是是是。總而言之，這衣服你就穿吧，反正本來就不是我的，送你送你。
方多病看著那華麗柔美的衣服，竟然有些膽寒，展雲飛淡淡地道：
