He rushed to the roadside south of the Knife Grinding Village with great anticipation and waited quietly. After waiting for an hour, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a large group of people came. Xiao Dongshan secretly shouted: "The most beautiful woman in the world is here!" ”

was about to catch up, but when he looked at it, it was not Yang Yang who took the lead, but a beautiful son, I saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, he was dressed in white, and he was indescribably graceful, which was Wang Junqing who was going to worship in the restaurant before. A huge falcon rested on his shoulder, and it seemed that this boy was still a good bird trainer. There is a person next to Wang Junqing, wearing a gray short jacket, wearing a lotus blue brocade cloak, with a smile on his face, it is Yang Yang, the owner of Xinyang Pavilion! Behind the two were four middle-aged servants, except for the two brought by Yang Yang, the other two were extremely kind, and the other was extremely vicious, Xiao Dongshan remembered that he had seen it twice, and now it seems that he was following to protect Wang Junqing. Behind the four middle-aged servant women were eight young women, whose faces were as cold as frost and murderous.

Xiao Dongshan faintly felt bad, and hurriedly hid behind a tree, feeling up and down in his heart, not wanting to come out to meet.

Everyone walked by the side of the road where Xiao Dongshan was hiding, only to hear Wang Junqing say: "This falcon is getting more and more vicious now, and even people dare to peck it...... This time I have made a meritorious service again, you can't say that I am a plaything and lose my mind, and deal with birds and beasts all day long! Yang Yang said: "Okay, good! You've got a reason for it this time! ”

After everyone walked away, Xiao Dongshan appeared, following from a distance, feeling bored in his heart.

Entering the grinding knife village, the guards everywhere have been withdrawn, and when they came to the front of the Juyi Hall, they saw that they were densely packed with people, and it was the Jinsha Gang that had sent Yang Yang and his party of fourteen people, which had been faintly surrounded. Xiao Dongshan pulled up his collar, shrunk his neck, covered most of his face, lowered his head, and blended into the Jinsha Gang, everyone stared at the middle, and no one paid attention to him.

At this time, the heavy snow had stopped, and the atmosphere of killing in front of the hall was everywhere.

I saw Zhai Biao hanging his hands, standing on the steps, looking at the people in Xinyang Pavilion in front of him, with a proud face. Wang Junqing shook his head, pointed at Zhai Biao with a horsewhip, and said: "The horse-faced listened, 'Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers', you ignore the king's law, sell illicit salt, plunder the merchants, and plague the township, today is the day of your destruction, quickly tie your hands and feet, kneel down and plead, you can save the corpse! ”

He was angry with a red-faced man beside Zhai Biao, He held a simple knife and took Wang Junqing directly, and shouted in his mouth: "The kid is looking for death, dare to come here to spread wild, and today next year will be your death day!" "There was already a guard here, and the ferocious-looking servant woman jumped out early, wrapped a long sword around Pu Dao, and fought with the red-faced man.

Xiao Dongshan only said at first that this red-faced man was an accompanying hall master and incense master, but after looking at the two together, he found that this person's martial arts were far superior to Huang Xiaochun and others, he was not in a hurry or impatient, strictly guarded the door, and had a clear eye in every move, and the snow on the ground in the distance was shaken by the true qi. When the gang saw it, there was a noise: "Deputy Gang Leader Xu, the miracle is amazing, the thief can't resist it!" There was a whisper: "Deputy Gang Leader Xu turns out to be so powerful in martial arts!" ”

The servant woman was not a mediocre hand, her sword style was fierce, fierce and abnormal, and she was wrapped in the shadow of Pu Dao many times, forcing Deputy Gang Leader Xu to retreat again and again, and there was actually a sixty percent offensive. The two fought for more than a dozen times, Deputy Gang Leader Xu was defeated, dragged the knife back, and the servant woman hurriedly caught up, who knew that this was a flaw deliberately sold by Deputy Gang Leader Xu, Deputy Gang Leader Xu yelled "Look!" The knife slashed the servant's left arm, and the blood flowed profusely.

The servant woman was extremely fierce, and she didn't retreat, her swordsmanship changed, and suddenly the situation changed greatly, and every move of the servant woman attacked from a position that Deputy Gang Leader Xu would never have imagined, and Deputy Gang Leader Xu blocked left and right, and was in danger. Xiao Dongshan saw that the swordsmanship used by this servant woman was practiced by Yang Yang with his finger as a sword before dancing roses that day, no wonder it was so powerful.

I only heard Zhai Biao shouting: "Brother Xu Xian, retreat!" Before the words fell, with a bang, the servant woman had stabbed the right hand of the deputy gang leader Xu with a sword, and the deputy gang leader Xu couldn't hold the Pu knife, and the knife fell to the ground, waiting to retreat, the servant woman jumped up early, and a sword was inserted from the shoulder, straight through the heart, and the deputy gang leader Xu spit blood in his mouth, and fell to the ground with the servant woman pulling out the sword, seeing that he was not alive.

The servant woman looked around with her sword drawn, her face covered with blood, and her fierce face was even more terrifying.

Zhai Biao was furious and shouted: "Evil woman, dare to commit murder here!" With a flick of his right hand, a money dart shot at him. The servant woman hurriedly dodged, and the money dart whizzed through her head, knocking one of the servant's left ears to pieces. The servant woman screamed in pain, and felt a buzzing in her left head, and her legs were about to fall to the ground. The kind-looking servant woman hurriedly jumped out and took her down.

Zhai Biao stopped darts, and floated down, saying: "Zhai will meet the heroes of Xinyang Pavilion today, see what skills you dare to ......" Before his words fell, Yang Yang screamed, turned into a strong wind, rolled into the middle, and cut off Zhai Biao's head with only one knife.

Yang Yang lifted Zhai Biao's head, jumped on the horse's back, stood on the horse's back, and then put Zhai Biao's head on the knife, raised it high, and shouted: "Listen to the Jinsha Gang, your gang leader is dead!" Surrender to avoid death, resistance is a dead end! The Jinsha gang shouted and fled in all directions. By this time, the ferocious servant woman had come to her senses, and pursued the fleeing gang with her sword. There were also a few fierce outlaws who took weapons and fought with the people of Xinyang Pavilion.

Xiao Dongshan has been standing not far from the horse, and at this time he is only two zhang away from Yang Yang, and he can even see a cup-sized purpura on the Tianzhu acupoint on the back of Zhai Biao's head. The Jinsha Gang had already dispersed, so Yang Yang saw Xiao Dongshan at a glance and nodded at him.

At this moment, a peaceful voice came from afar, not loud, but everyone heard it very clearly, and this voice said: "Good knife! Good knives! Martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken, as expected! ”

Yang Yang heard the strange voice and shouted: "What person! Come out! Shake off the head, dismount and rush out of the village with a knife, Xiao Dongshan was afraid that she would be in danger, so he hurriedly followed behind. I saw a person in the distance, wearing a coat and a hat, walking out unhurriedly. Yang Yang tried her best to catch up, but she was always a cut behind, she was very competitive, adjusted her internal breath, and her feet became faster and faster, and Xiao Dongshan fell farther and farther. Seeing that Yang Yang was chasing after him, the man said, "Girl! Don't be foolish! If one person is broken today, he will pay back one person one day! As he spoke, he jumped up and down a few times, and disappeared. Yang Yang also jumped on the top of the tree, and looked forward for a few miles, where was there still a figure?

Xiao Dongshan caught up from behind, panting and said, "Sister Yang, what about that person?" Yang Yang shook his head and said: "This person is the same as a ghost, it is not trivial, I don't know why it is said that if one person is bad today, he will return one person one day, this Zhai Biao is a man full of evil, everyone will be punished, is there anyone who shelters him?" Xiao Dongshan thought for a while and said: "Zhai Biao has been visited by me a long time ago, and he has some care for several officials, these officials are all from the King of Han, but this is not a big deal......

Yang Yang said: "Let's not talk about this for the time being, I've been looking for you, and I'm afraid you won't come!" Well, I've got a good thing for you. As he spoke, he took out a scripture book from his arms, which was the "Mingxia Sutra"! Xiao Dongshan took the book and looked at it, and sure enough, this time it was the original of Puji Temple, and Yang Yang said again: "You look at the middle again." Xiao Dongshan listened to what she said, turned to the middle and took a look, it turned out that the two pages of the book that were off the line had been completely pasted, and there were many pages! Found this page? Xiao Dongshan asked in disbelief. While asking, I casually turned to the last few pages, and at a glance, there were some ink in the lower left corner of each of the last three pages, which I thought was a secret mark made by the monk Yuanhuai.

"Yes, this page is also a coincidence, and it was brought back by the bird of my father-in-law, and I saw my father-in-law two days ago before I got it. I didn't give you the book before, just to return to Zhao today. ”

Xiao Dongshan got the whole original book, but the loss was far greater than the surprise, and he didn't thank him, but felt that the words "my father-in-law" were like a hammer hammer in his chest, and he couldn't say the dull pain. Yang Yang saw that he was first surprised, and then lost his soul, how could she be unclear when she was smart in Bingxue?

Both were silent. After a long time, Yang Yang said: "Brother Xiao, let's go back!" Xiao Dongshan woke up like a dream, and suddenly shouted, "Not good!" He ran wildly, with a look of horror on his face, and his heart was terrified to the extreme. Seeing him like this, Yang Yang hurriedly followed him and rushed towards the village.

Xiao Dongshan crossed the Juyi Hall, jumped over the stone table, crossed the corridor, and rushed into Sanjiu's room, only to see Sanjiu fall to the ground, covered in blood. Xiao Dongshan hurriedly knelt down and picked up Sanjiu, and when he saw that his neck had been cut off, he was already angry. Xiao Dongshan sat on the ground, his upper body kept shaking, and after shaking for a while, big tears rolled down. From the moment Xiao Dongshan jumped over the stone table, Yang Yang had already realized what made Xiao Dongshan so frightened, and seeing this scene at this moment, he felt guilty, hateful, scared, and dazed...... All kinds of emotions rushed up and stayed in place.

When everyone in Xinyang Pavilion saw Yang Yang coming back, they all gathered around, and seeing that Yang Yang's face was getting more and more angry, everyone didn't dare to make a sound. After a while, Wang Junqing said: "Lady, that person ran away?" Do you see it clearly? ”

Yang Yang didn't answer, choked, pulled out the long knife behind his back, swept it to everyone's faces, and said, "Who killed this child!" ”

Wang Junqing said: "Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, the lady has been galloping the rivers and lakes for many years, how can she not know the reason, today for the sake of outsiders, she should ask her own people?" Yang Yang ignored him and asked again: "Who killed this child!" And when they saw her, they were even more angry, and they did not dare to hold their peace. Wang Junqing said: "No poison, no husband, small amount is not a gentleman, this child was killed by me, you can't help outsiders!" Yang Yang was furious, took a step back, pointed at Wang Junqing and said: "Right and wrong have their own merits, why do you keep talking about insiders and outsiders!" Wang Junqing said in a low voice: "Sneaky, don't be ignorant of me!" I'll see if you're fingering out! ”

Yang Yang was even more angry and said: "My father is a thief in Jiangyang, a big devil who kills people without blinking, has been crisscrossing lakes and seas for more than 30 years, and has never hurt women and children!" Although the concubine is a woman, she has been in charge of the door alone since she was sixteen years old, and now she has been in charge for ten years, and she also knows that God has the virtue of a good life, and she does not dare to hurt innocent people, husband! Why are you so cruel? ”

Wang Junqing said: "This son is the son of the bandit leader, 'under the nest, there are eggs'?" If you want to complain, you can only blame his father! If you don't get rid of it, when it grows up, as the saying goes, 'Father's hatred is not shared with the sky', it will be entangled in you, 'When it is broken, it will be chaotic', which is what is today's matter! ”

Yang Yang said: "We people in the rivers and lakes, why not be afraid of a child. When he grew up, he avenged his father, and the concubine could stop him, if he was killed, it was because I was not good at learning, and I was to blame, so why be afraid! ”

Wang Junqing brushed his sleeves and said: "You are a woman's benevolence, I plan for you, so I will kill you, how do you know what to do!" Blindly protect outsiders! ”

Yang Yang was speechless for a while, and said, "Concubine...... The concubine is ......"

Wang Junqing saw that his words were too heavy, and laughed: "Concubine! Concubine! Every time you train your husband, you call yourself a concubine, what kind of mood is this! Concubine! Concubine! I think you're a tigress! In the past, the husband and wife occasionally had disputes, Wang Junqing said such a thing, Yang Yang would laugh, and then the husband and wife reconciled, but today is different, Yang Yang listened to it, and still felt unspeakably irritable.

At this time, Xiao Dongshan slowly stood up and said coldly: "Killing people pays for life, it is justified!" Wang Junqing, take your life! As he spoke, he slashed Wang Junqing's throat. Wang Junqing hurriedly retreated, drew his sword and took Xiao Dongshan's knife, and said: "I don't know what to lift, it's not okay to give you some color to see!" He jumped out of the room, put on a frame, Xiao Dongshan followed out of the room, and cut with a knife. Wang Junqing sneered, and used a set of swordsmanship, it was the same set that the vicious servant woman used to defeat Deputy Gang Leader Xu just now, Xiao Dongshan has seen this swordsmanship for the third time, seeing that Wang Junqing is still a little jerky, he unfolded the Mingxia swordsmanship and greeted Wang Junqing, only five or six moves were fought, and Wang Junqing had already lost the upper hand. Xiao Dongshan's heart is in turmoil, and he doesn't really want to kill, but he is resentful in his heart, so he has to vent it, Wang Junqing is Yang Yang's husband, where can Xiao Dongshan really do it! He hesitated slightly, his hands were slow, and Wang Junqing's swordsmanship was really exquisite, so he immediately turned against the guest and forced Xiao Dongshan back two steps. Wang Junqing's spirit was shocked when he saw this, and he rushed forward to attack two more moves, Xiao Dongshan stabilized his body, Wang Junqing rushed to attack and used the third move, Yang Yang saw it, and shouted in his heart, "It's not good, it's bad!" When he was about to be saved, Xiao Dongshan had already broken Wang Junqing's sword style, led the sword to the side with a knife, and slapped Wang Junqing with a crisp slap with his left hand. The falcon protector was anxious, rushed to the scene, opened his mouth to peck Xiao Dongshan's eyes, Xiao Dongshan used a knife to roll, almost cut the falcon, the falcon chirped, flew up and hid in the tree.

Yang Yang flew up, holding a knife in front of him, protecting Wang Junqing, and said, "Brother Xiao, please be merciful!" It's not big, it's all my Xinyang Pavilion, I'll compensate you! Saying that, Ying Ying bowed down. Xiao Dongshan held back his tears, went back to the room and hugged Sanjiu's body, and walked out without saying a word.

At this time, the snow fell again, white and vast, with tears in his eyes, where can he distinguish the world from the world? He hugged Sanjiu's corpse and walked around one foot deeper, one foot shallow, and kept saying: "Last time I held you, you were still hot, why are you cold today?" Today is your thief's brother's birthday, why is it your death day? Every birthday of my brother in the future will be my brother's sad day! Brother can't stand you, I should watch you as soon as I come, brother can't stand you! Brother can't stand you! He repeated these words a thousand times, and his spirit and legs were a little numb, so he just walked blindly in the loneliness of the barren mountains. After walking for a long time, he came to a mountain col, and only then did he come back to his senses slightly, he put down Sanjiu's body, looked around, and saw that there were mountains, rivers and trees around, which was a good place, and began to dig the cemetery. He first used a knife to cut a square mark slightly larger than Sanjiu's body, and then slowly pry the soil along the trace, in order not to pry the knife off, he found a sharp stone to dig, plus a hand planer, and was busy for a long time, and finally dug a three-foot-deep grave pit. He lay on the ground again and slowly flattened the bottom of the grave with his knife, and then carefully put Sanjiu's body in. He stared at Sanjiu's face for a long time, and then began to cover the soil, and as the snow and soil slowly covered Sanjiu's body, Xiao Dongshan shed tears again.

After getting Sanjiu's grave right, Xiao Dongshan was also tired. It is ten times more laborious to dig up the soil by hand than with a shovel. Although the snow has stopped, it is not early, and if it weren't for the vast snow, it would have been dark. Xiao Dongshan rested on a tree not far from the tomb for a while, and was about to get up to leave, only to hear a "chirp", a black shadow hit his face.

Xiao Dongshan hurriedly dodged, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Wang Junqing's falcon. Xiao Dongshan was furious and said, "You are a flat-haired brute, you dare to bully me!" Picked up a stone and popped it out with his hand, the falcon was a fierce and belligerent one, dodging the "chirping" of the stone, and pecking at Xiao Dongshan's eyes. Xiao Dongshan couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded: "I haven't settled accounts with your master yet, you are looking for death!" With a flash of the knife, he had already used the Mingxia knife technique to "cross the gap", and with hatred for Wang Junqing, he cut off the head of the falcon, and the bird splashed Xiao Dongshan's shoulder blood in the air.

Xiao Dongshan was splashed with bird blood, and the person calmed down, thinking secretly: "Why did I fight with this beast!" Wang Junqing is hateful, I won't let him go, but it's useless to kill his birds. I thought again: "I heard Yang Yang say that the middle page of the "Mingxia Sutra" was brought back by a bird, isn't it this bird?" So I'm sorry to take revenge! So he took the head and the body of the bird, dug a pit under the tree, and buried the falcon.

It was now completely dark, and he did not know the direction, so he took branches and trunks from everywhere, and with great difficulty lit a fire under the tree, and rested against the stump. He suffered two huge blows in one day, his mind was confused, and he didn't know that he was hungry, and he just kept regretting it in his heart: "Why am I so greedy for beauty, when I see Yang Yang, I can't give up, and I do things upside down, how can I forget to protect Sanjiu!" What's the use of me following her, she's the one with a husband, the murderer! What's the use of me following her! What's the use of me following her! Sanjiu's death is all my fault! What a cute little brother! ”

In the second half of the night, I finally slept for a while, and was awakened by the cold, got up and added fire, and was lost for a while, and could not sleep again. I didn't know that I got lost, and I couldn't find the main road, and it took almost two hours to find the official road. Xiao Dongshan touched his pocket, there were only a few copper plates, and he first found a gold and silver shop, exchanged the gold ingots smashed down from the wall into silver, and then went to return the "Mingxia Sutra" to Puji Temple.

I walked less than five or six miles on the official road, and suddenly a person strode over and shouted: "That man, stay!" ”
