話說常談二人分頭行事,談靈笑沿著東部海岸向北搜索,目標正是謝松齡等人質及幻晶冠。397Please respect copyright.PENANAoSSj7m9IIV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAXWOQNvn8f8
越往北行,地勢越高,地質也逐漸由鬆軟的沙泥轉變成堅實塊土,青蔥蓊鬱的群樹圍繞;步履之處盡是亂石雜處。397Please respect copyright.PENANA1XDMqt0aEZ
397Please respect copyright.PENANA3OxnVFRJYL
談靈笑本想<海神號>既然被棄置在沙灘上,匪徒押解人質下船,必會經過此林,便特別注意土地上是否有人的腳印足跡。但找了許久,始終找不到任何人經過的跡象。397Please respect copyright.PENANApZMkYdM87X
397Please respect copyright.PENANAJyqKxwOW6X
算算時間,離開藏身密洞已有一到兩小時,少說也有八里距,相當於一個小村落的村頭到村尾。397Please respect copyright.PENANALXzdk5WKAd
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYsgwgiYtGi
突然眼角瞥處,遠方樹林裡一道身影向前急閃而逝,談靈笑不驚反喜,終於找到了,提氣縱身追去。397Please respect copyright.PENANA6H86ADvWvu
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYcjdxWv1NJ
但覺那人一忽兒東、一忽兒西,似是無頭蒼蠅一般胡奔瞎闖,若不是那人的輕功不甚高明,談靈笑幾乎以為自己跟的是常郁沖了。397Please respect copyright.PENANApzmXW7ot8Z
397Please respect copyright.PENANAzPnbT49PPK
忽地那人身影急竄直下,在橫出的樹幹上微微借勁一盪,翻身落地,又望前奔逃而去。397Please respect copyright.PENANAD10ZN0W3Lj
397Please respect copyright.PENANAP8OjXnIiDE
談靈笑心中暗笑,怎麼能讓你走,亦翻身下樹,突見腳下碰的一聲,地面向下陷出一個窟窿,身子隨之掉落,窟底隱隱閃著明熀刀光,似是有尖刀倒鉤之類一物。397Please respect copyright.PENANAx9eIXz1ti3
397Please respect copyright.PENANAYJhlaBn67O
談靈笑臨危不亂,施起獨門輕功「躡雲蹤」,雙腳凌空踢了兩腳,洩了些許墜落之勁,接著提氣運勁,腳尖在窟底一把刀尖上輕輕一點,左腳在眼前窟壁上一蹬,身子反衝上天,一個翻滾,安然落在窟外。397Please respect copyright.PENANAPM0DuaAZJH
397Please respect copyright.PENANAgDarIXmu1c
方避陷阱,才踏出一步,腳踝立感異樣,似與一線相觸。異感方起,變數已生,但覺勁風由四面八方急撲而至。397Please respect copyright.PENANA4jo0xdosip
397Please respect copyright.PENANAzuxnrzqMvR
一波未平一波又起,談靈笑冷哼一聲,拔出背上黑傘,獨門絕式「逍遙劍式」裡的一招「八方遊仙展風雲」,一把巨傘舞將起來,卻比一般長劍更加輕盈靈動,更兼虎虎生風。397Please respect copyright.PENANAjSwF4DZ3TW
儘管尖刀毒箭紛至沓來,傘尖還是如行雲流水般,將襲來的暗器依先後順序一一打落。一式快劍,似是大開大闔,瀟灑不群,實則快中有序,妙至毫顛。397Please respect copyright.PENANAXB89sbUmwE
397Please respect copyright.PENANATfOKpG9N5I
但聞一陣叮叮噹噹兵刃相交之聲,飛刀毒箭落了一地,談靈笑收傘還背,毫髮無傷。397Please respect copyright.PENANA9TTCyvM6ju
397Please respect copyright.PENANAhJl5MCrOKc
談靈笑心知那人是故意引他走上陷阱,不知該氣還是該笑:竟用這種小孩的勾當,真是被人給看扁了。397Please respect copyright.PENANAFVLrQ3eYo7
397Please respect copyright.PENANA4XGofuq7WV
他提氣縱身,上了樹梢,放眼望去,陽光與森林的綠輝相映,遠方三座山巒在晨曦微風中也似蠢蠢欲動。397Please respect copyright.PENANAM1H4aVbR7t
397Please respect copyright.PENANAaqgnt3Wk59
談靈笑料想那裏山峰環繞,勢成天險,想必海盜巢穴已然不遠,便不再去尋那人,施起輕功,向前急竄而去。397Please respect copyright.PENANAfhxTctB6lV
397Please respect copyright.PENANAe9WzIXbrDn
不到一頓飯的功夫,忽聞水聲淙淙,談靈笑隱身樹梢,舉目望去,一條浩然長河,綿延東流,橫在前方。數座瞭望台在對岸沿河而建,後方橫列水寨,守住隘口,戒備森嚴。397Please respect copyright.PENANAkDgDZaOwi3
397Please respect copyright.PENANABA1baivhv4
此時長河寨門前泊了一艘小船,三名穿甲戴鎧的武裝海盜走出寨門,後頭跟著一人長袍裹身,斑斕彩布遮住頭臉,使人看不出性別樣貌。397Please respect copyright.PENANAR5fhDcZOyR
397Please respect copyright.PENANAZrMkJCrtsC
談靈笑由前方三名海盜的舉手投足得知,他們的武功雖非上乘,但就普通海盜而言已屬高手;後方長袍客則像完全不會武功的人,此人能入海盜之列已屬不易,更令談靈笑不解的是,三名海盜對那長袍客甚是恭敬,連衣衫也不敢稍碰。397Please respect copyright.PENANAQchciAwPrl
397Please respect copyright.PENANA1WpZ8vRMIg
心下料想那長袍客必是此間高層,拿住他做為籌碼,相救人質;奪回幻晶冠並非沒有可能。397Please respect copyright.PENANAKkg1oiiS93
397Please respect copyright.PENANAlktZILV6BZ
打定主意,待那四人上了船,便悄悄跟在後頭,自岸上追蹤。397Please respect copyright.PENANAuBJjqXtpza
397Please respect copyright.PENANAoYtfFlRkcx
小船順河而下,到了一處左右岔道,轉而向右,航入一狹長河道,一路上關卡重多,談靈笑看整條大河的流勢,料想最後應是直流入海。船上四人始終毫無動靜,尤其那名長袍客,自始至終坐在船尾,不發一語,一動不動。397Please respect copyright.PENANAqY8dRi8ZPm
397Please respect copyright.PENANAsBbwUrd6ws
再行一陣,通過水寨大門,談靈笑為避免行跡敗露,故意繞至水寨後方,潛伏樹梢。397Please respect copyright.PENANAzUTBY1QHLh
397Please respect copyright.PENANADS3ybb0fWb
原來河道盡頭是一片大湖,一間間簡陋屋舍環湖而建,四周圍起柵欄土牆,形成水寨,僅有一個寨口容船隻通行。397Please respect copyright.PENANAravkr7kckn
397Please respect copyright.PENANAwqdRZ4xOT0
此時湖邊站滿了人,談靈笑凝目一看,認出幾名是海神號上的富豪。登時喜憂參半;喜的是終於找到人質所在,而且看守海盜均是傭手,要攻下水寨並不困難;但憂的是三四百人皆手無縛雞之力,又無船隻可乘載這麼多人脫困。397Please respect copyright.PENANA3IuB6YZex2
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGNjs6N4FhC
正四下打量,尋找可趁之機,突聽寨內傳來一聲:「所有低等生物聽好!」談靈笑一震抬頭,但見寨門前的瞭望台上,一名海盜拿著擴音器說話,遠處大湖周遭的人聲倏然而止,靜聽宣告。397Please respect copyright.PENANA04fISNZxwX
397Please respect copyright.PENANApuPWxXXfjn
「摩和大神降造萬人,賜予你們優渥的環境;多方的資源,但你們卻辜負大神的善意,不以之行善積德,更貪多無厭,有今日苦果,正是你們該有的懲罰!但...」397Please respect copyright.PENANAlhxLjg7OOQ
397Please respect copyright.PENANAKtAGC7yfGf
談靈笑忍不住噗的一聲笑出來:「打劫人家的船...還說是人家該有的報應,這種人也有!原來這些海盜就是摩和教徒啊!」397Please respect copyright.PENANAAMq26SrH84
397Please respect copyright.PENANARzGHj6ZBBX
但聽那人又大聲道:「摩和大神願意給你們一個贖罪的機會,只要願意宣誓信奉摩和教義,並將自己最貴重的東西歸還給大神,大神便願意再次打開方便之門,讓各位重歸大神的榮耀懷抱!」接著眾海盜齊聲唸起不知名的咒語,彷彿是儀式開始前的宣讀教義。397Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ45D7mOi3
397Please respect copyright.PENANAXpshSwxp5H
一人由群聲咒語中緩步而出,正是那名蔽頭遮臉的長袍客。397Please respect copyright.PENANAAOPVpMQy8v
397Please respect copyright.PENANAOquFYYrWWV
眾人赫見那長袍客慢步踩上湖水,如仙靈下凡般輕點水面,慢慢走至湖心。隨著他緩慢的步伐,除了因腳步所泛起陣陣輕盈漣漪,湖面平滑如鏡,如同神蹟降臨。397Please respect copyright.PENANAWRCkbLMbwy
397Please respect copyright.PENANAfIk2G28Syk
那人低垂袍帽,遮蔽靈眸,彩布掩面,足踏水紋,湖邊富豪人質,無論男女,皆被這玄妙神奇的景象所震懾,不由自主的跪伏在地,虔心膜拜。397Please respect copyright.PENANAn9N3w9xtoD
397Please respect copyright.PENANAmtgEhHm6DH
饒是見多識廣、享譽國際的盜仙談靈笑,對這副景象亦是吃驚莫名,輕身前掠,落在近處樹梢,舉目下望,立時發出一聲瞭然冷笑。397Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3VNnUPvms
397Please respect copyright.PENANAXUevH03G2Q
於湖面波光中,隱隱藏有一個腳印大小的塊狀玻璃,一路由寨門水道直至湖心中央。陽光斜射使身處湖邊的眾人看不出虛實,然而只要位在高處便能一目了然。397Please respect copyright.PENANAnqTFlpPH5J
397Please respect copyright.PENANAiLgmuDHpkJ
談靈笑雖是行偷竊盜於國際之間,但從不造作偽善,強辯爭論,對於眼下摩和教這等假借神明教義坑矇拐騙的勾當甚是不屑。397Please respect copyright.PENANAXkHcKorRuo
397Please respect copyright.PENANARnzrAwQGfu
談靈笑心頭冷笑:「今天就讓你踢個鐵板!」伸手折了一根樹枝,單臂一揚,仙勁摧動之下,殘樹敗枝急如流星向長袍客飛去。397Please respect copyright.PENANAzEovmr9zh8
397Please respect copyright.PENANAO109Fwx3st
長袍客想來真是身無武學之人,對樹枝襲來毫不知覺,還是左近唸咒的海盜即時發了一聲喊,這才提醒了他。397Please respect copyright.PENANAU0GhPEuWft
397Please respect copyright.PENANAbL93Cu3yve
但談靈笑的內功修為豈同一般,待他發現後退閃避時,一切為時已晚。樹枝尖端還是劃破了他臉上彩布,叮的一聲射穿湖下玻璃。397Please respect copyright.PENANATzOf0SIVLT
397Please respect copyright.PENANAp9PpAbii7t
湖下玄虛一破,長袍客立時如初學溜冰一般,雙臂搖晃,方能穩住身形。眾目睽睽之下,那模樣說有多狼狽就有多狼狽。397Please respect copyright.PENANAyDFvhlj6i7
397Please respect copyright.PENANArIzeKivNKZ
談靈笑正自幸災樂禍,但當他看見長袍客的真面目時,先是一愣,隨即怒氣填膺,忍不住大喝一聲:「原來是你!」也不管人質未救,海盜環伺,拔傘在手,縱身向水寨殺來。397Please respect copyright.PENANAL4HKrtH84a
397Please respect copyright.PENANAGGtxHnLzuA
眾海盜不料在這等情況下竟有人敢發難反抗,慌忙拿起武器掩護長袍客離開。湖邊群富見有人殺入,不知是敵是友,下意識四散逃竄,尖叫驚呼不絕於耳,場面混亂至極。397Please respect copyright.PENANASESxMBbAVV
397Please respect copyright.PENANABW5Ju5EKBX
只聽談靈笑大喊一聲:「所有人質退到森林裡去!」手中依舊是那式「八方遊仙展風雲」快劍如風,黑傘化成一團黑影,一邊與圍攏而來的群盜纏鬥,一邊向長袍客逸去的方向衝去....397Please respect copyright.PENANA6b5i2XOqPT
