敗得徹底。556Please respect copyright.PENANAKSZaIJjss6
財寶盡失,車馬俱散,只剩滿地屍骸。556Please respect copyright.PENANAGTFV4D73Bw
賊匪早已架馬遠去,卻獨留他一人苟活。556Please respect copyright.PENANAmzCLm2WvPk
匍伏在地上的黃冠道士以劍支身,卻又頹然摔倒。他才意識到自己的劍身已然斷折。556Please respect copyright.PENANAiFioTbnPNA
殘餘的半截劍身上還銘刻著他的道號——那便形同他的第生命——如今卻已成廢鐵。556Please respect copyright.PENANAnx2POs8UzW
而那本能了結自己性命的千斤一刀最終卻只畫破了他的肩頭,都得多虧這柄劍的犧牲才險險避過要害。然而如此喪盡尊嚴的殘存並沒有帶給他絲毫喜悅。556Please respect copyright.PENANAlJCrEVjHYW
況且被犧牲遠超如此。同門師兄弟盡數死於馬匪之手,受命保衛的珍寶也盡數被奪。此趟行鑣可說是徹底的失敗。556Please respect copyright.PENANAHFlThXlBzX
自知無顏回府向頂上道長交代,更無可能面對朝廷,道人心灰意冷。他提前那半截劍正欲橫抹在自己頸上,他突然瞥見滿地泥沙中有道明光閃過。556Please respect copyright.PENANAki00vqUpLP
是夜明珠。朝廷賜予的夜明珠仍在地上被一隻斷掌緊緊握住,不知為何僥倖未被盜取。556Please respect copyright.PENANAcHTVASBWZy
他以染血的手顫抖著捧起明珠,卻已欲哭無淚,反而啞然失笑,只因心中深感那無故被遺落下的寶珠正如同門當中唯一苟活的自己處境相似。似是上蒼不曾間斷的諷刺。556Please respect copyright.PENANAXz02Xyq7BL
恍惚間,他似看見光滑無瑕的寶珠之中有虛影閃過。556Please respect copyright.PENANAPSVYvgoNlG
他定睛一瞧,卻赫然驚覺那人影飄忽不定,一舉一動竟似曾相識。556Please respect copyright.PENANAkVQEjDRRve
「這是......太乙五形拳!」道人詫異驚道。但再一回神,那身影又變。他又驚呼:「不對,是太極劍法!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAw5QdxCDmVu
黑影翩翩起舞,將他熟悉的武當絕學逐一演過,甚至連他未曾習得的招法都一應俱全。556Please respect copyright.PENANABrxMVYbbt1
不可能,師兄的太極劍也在......莫非這真的......556Please respect copyright.PENANAy3wYz7jHQ8
道人止不住顫抖的雙掌,眼中卻不再是悲痛莫名。556Please respect copyright.PENANA8wVvuZMq9z
而是瘋狂的神采。
市聲鼎沸的街上,今日格外喧騰。556Please respect copyright.PENANAd1trFL1C5h
天未全明,遠航東洋去的大船已靠港下錨。一干苦力挑夫隨貨往返進出市集,午時便將就在鬧區內用膳。556Please respect copyright.PENANA4bWswQpQU1
大票粗莽漢子集中在一塊,街上幾處平日罕有人至的館子連帶受惠生意頗盛,飽含油漬的狼藉木桌上分不清是湯濺灑的痕跡抑或汗痕。556Please respect copyright.PENANAKHVx2fJf0M
但難得的生意興隆之際,也有麻煩混雜其中。556Please respect copyright.PENANAXbX5oeRgEn
「你說什麼!」556Please respect copyright.PENANA72h5qyyUCt
「太貴了吧!」556Please respect copyright.PENANA6F57VsFcqX
「一定是哪裡算錯了,再算算!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAyzHMXxM7eM
幾名漢子拍桌叫罵。這夥人短褐穿結,身形矮小卻面目兇惡。各個佔據方桌一角,瞪著算錢的伙計。556Please respect copyright.PENANAsfUqTJD9XB
店小二搓手著,大熱天的額上也分不清楚是冷汗還是熱汗。「一共是一百五十文錢,沒錯。」556Please respect copyright.PENANA7bPw8qkfZf
「就這點破東西一百五十文?你說得出口老子聽不下去!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAmqbXp7BT1k
「客官......」店小二想勸也勸不動。556Please respect copyright.PENANAh4ZfZNppWj
「不給!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAimiYd44jz4
「怎麼,有人吃飯不付錢啊?」旁邊忽然有人插話,道:「幾位大爺想吃上算的,上對面歛豐閣去吧。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAXVtEwnV6Ao
眾漢子循聲看去,赫然發現桌旁不知幾時多人兩名一長一少的女子。年少的那名女柳眉倒豎,叉著腰指著一干大漢的鼻子好不威風。556Please respect copyright.PENANAs2xaRwk7wr
幾名大漢見了是兩名女人,其中有人不住拍桌大罵:「臭娘們,什麼時候輪到妳們說話!」556Please respect copyright.PENANA7MFjWNnKZL
「言師妹,還是別淌這混水吧?」氣氛劍拔弩張,一旁隨行的女子神情擔憂,輕拉了拉少女的衣袖勸阻。556Please respect copyright.PENANAXRAyeWr8vn
但那言師妹卻不畏懼,抽手說道:「季師姐妳不愛管別就管吧,看我怎麼教訓這些王八!」556Please respect copyright.PENANATQMXhaMuJO
季師姐嘆了口氣,站至一旁決意袖手不管。556Please respect copyright.PENANA2K1Ze23kY7
四名漢子踢翻椅子站起,怒喝道:「老子們吃飯,關妳娘們屁事!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAeh8FMlTW8G
「路見不平拔劍相助!」言師妹高叱一聲,揮掌便打。556Please respect copyright.PENANAtIFAoec4jE
那些漢子也迎上前去,拳腿自四方朝少女身上招呼。式式簡樸,招招兇狠。556Please respect copyright.PENANAGgMKkMEYOh
雙方一動上手,鼓譟聲立刻四起:556Please respect copyright.PENANAB1WORxdFXS
「好啊,流民拳!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAeB75GQi6R4
「妞兒標緻的,先搶先贏啊!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAO73jklnr52
「聽見沒?老趙快上!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAnrggObTcD4
「打啊!打啊!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAyp54B4L2Ir
當中不乏些遊手好閒的紈褲子弟喧囂叫好,他們也不理會事情始末誰是誰非,只管看戲。不出須臾,四周充滿了圍觀的人群,以五人為中心繞成個大圈子。556Please respect copyright.PENANA7e0t17KTEf
圈子內,只見言師妹身子快速閃躲巧妙規避著那群大漢的進招,不住側身游移。556Please respect copyright.PENANAEc44NhkVam
那群漢子們或就地打滾掃腿,或上身不動驀然揮拳。藉著體魄健壯硬打些不合常理的怪招,明眼人也難看出。言師妹討不著便宜一連退了三步。556Please respect copyright.PENANArtm068Sg9I
「逃哪去!」得勢不饒人,三名漢子大喝圍上,分攻上中下三路,要那多事的ㄚ頭插翅也難飛。556Please respect copyright.PENANAsUl2QZL7qR
斧刃、橫拳、鷹捉把齊出,但那女孩卻謹守一道中線不使之被擊,防衛要害顯已是習慣,無賴們怪招難辨卻不至輕易得手。556Please respect copyright.PENANAa3WtFSNIOg
「媽的!」眼看那妞兒左手還提著一柄劍,這等同是讓了他們單手,依然拿不下少女的三人不禁破口大罵。556Please respect copyright.PENANAhC8J5msk9S
餘下一人偏不信邪,趁著女孩防備眼前悄悄從後矮身從後摸上。一團混亂間少女卻像後心長了眼似,冷不防朝後勾起一腳,腳跟重擊男人的垮部,痛得他齜牙咧嘴倒退四、五步。556Please respect copyright.PENANAOVVeX4jjU8
一輪猛攻無果,那些矮漢急忙縮身退後。正所謂「三招不倒,回頭就跑」。不過在這人擠人的飯館子內滿是桌椅,前後門又圍滿看戲群眾,這群無賴插翅也難飛。556Please respect copyright.PENANA5MBlz2Ju6f
敵退我進,言師妹嬌叱趕上。她迅速撤去長鞘亮劍,那群赤手空拳的漢子無不戒慎恐懼退至更遠。但言碧俠守在店門之前,沒她同意誰也離不開。556Please respect copyright.PENANAxDVrnpMvq2
言碧俠雖不是具有指導門生、弟子資格的師匠的尊貴身份,但在一眾弟子之間也是略有天賦的一人,因此獲准離開武館出勤外務之際得配長劍護身。556Please respect copyright.PENANAlNuoM6CHnM
徨亂之際,其中一人忽然指著少女的劍,叫道:「妳那算什麼劍?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAeDlD1xFurl
眾人聞言定睛再瞧,果然發覺言碧俠手裡握的長劍色澤有異。莫說不是名門寶劍,甚至根本尚未開鋒,只是一柄尋常的烏黑鐵劍。556Please respect copyright.PENANAY8e8q7uluR
原來蒼武流的門規是門生拜入師們研修五年獲准留館得升格為弟子。但師匠外出得配真劍,弟子外出配的卻是練習用的烏鐵劍。556Please respect copyright.PENANAy32JYyaJQo
眾漢子發現真相,也顧不得架打到一半,頓時笑得人仰馬翻。556Please respect copyright.PENANAQBk25jZeHy
受人戲弄,言碧俠脹紅了臉,跺腳嗔道:「又怎樣?有本事來呀!」556Please respect copyright.PENANADlQAFCiNws
「好呀,待妳爺爺選個稱手兵器再來打過!」那群無賴大笑,說完立刻抄起店內桌椅朝著少女亂砸過去。556Please respect copyright.PENANA8v7a4RfbUD
季師姐在旁見了,喊道:「言師妹唷,這樣下去店家賠得比賺還要多吶。」556Please respect copyright.PENANARHLtguRmkQ
「知道啦!」言師妹見對方不顧旁人碗盤一陣亂砸,知道不宜拖延,立刻挺劍主動出擊。556Please respect copyright.PENANAbDDus461WI
無賴們眼看劍到立刻一哄而散,嘻笑著跑給她追。556Please respect copyright.PENANAGDaeeQjGA0
但那言師妹步法更靈,幾人立時被迎頭趕上,眼看就要中劍,猛然反手一摔,將藏在懷裡的陶碗砸向身後。556Please respect copyright.PENANAixIiFHaO7l
這一著突如其來,言師妹立時纏頭裹腦,長劍過頭畫圓截住那些「暗器」,順勢由右向左揮。鄰近的一人閃躲不及,兩腿如遭鞭掃,當場跌了個狗吃屎。556Please respect copyright.PENANA6kcTYXJghm
「臭小妞!」同伴倒下,一名漢子回頭要救。他暗忖那劍未開鋒,決意死捱幾下也要擒住女孩,猛地扭頭撲了過去。556Please respect copyright.PENANARpJIgA5fyf
但這等突襲技法言師妹今次已看過多回,心中早以有待之而立定不動。只見她冷哼一聲,左足後踏,提劍的手腕輕抖。下一刻,在旁眾人愕然驚呼。556Please respect copyright.PENANAM2pCdlyRIi
卻是那無賴才欺近少女,本以為要使得手卻又不知何故咳血摔開。他倒在地上不住掙扎,已是進氣少出氣多,命在旦夕。556Please respect copyright.PENANAghqoDnwgph
眾人還道是言師妹施了什麼邪門法術,只有季澐看出自家師妹在最後關頭即時提前劍尖抵住男子的咽喉要害,對方一時煞止不住頓撞上去。556Please respect copyright.PENANAoXnTTr1rY0
這著的勁道全是藉對方蠻衝與自身重量所致,言師妹連肘也沒伸,便幾乎在那無賴身上刺出個透明窟窿,可見力道之猛。556Please respect copyright.PENANAt4WHywAuZ5
一劍擊斃一名身形遠高過她的漢子,眾人頓時鴉雀無聲。她把劍尖轉指向餘下三名無賴,道:「哪一個還想死?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAoDfWn5ucIp
季師姐認出那是蒼武流的劍法「翩若驚鴻」,見師妹祭出家派絕學,忙排開眾人上前拉住她的肩膀,道:「師妹,點到為止,可別成濫殺啦。」556Please respect copyright.PENANA8R0GNZ7PiF
言師妹悶哼收劍,轉過頭看向季師姐,道:「師姐妳心腸太軟了!不給這些無賴一點苦頭嚐嚐,下回一樣又犯!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAdKGj35YE31
季師姐嘆了口氣。她見那些無賴在驚怕之下乖乖把帳還清也就搖搖頭,沒有答話。556Please respect copyright.PENANAktFuUTvGji
兩人在眾多「看倌」迎送下走出店門,左右兩列喝采聲不斷,好不威風。556Please respect copyright.PENANAendKcScsCR
言師妹得意地搓著鼻子,俊俏似男兒的白臉泛起薄紅。556Please respect copyright.PENANAR3585hot9D
她們本來只是受師門差遣下山來跑腿辦事順便採買些日常所需,每想到路過見此意外打了場漂亮架,如此受盡吹捧,年紀輕輕的師姐妹倆頗有些生受不起。556Please respect copyright.PENANArxlRVX3e1Z
風聲走比人快,當她們將家師親筆所提的信箋遞交至接頭人後來到距離方才鬧事飯館兩個街區的市集攤販處,聽聞兩人平定外地來的無賴流氓事蹟的鄉民紛紛圍上前來爭相盛讚。連攤位小販也道:「兩位大俠,鋪裡什麼也沒有。這點送給您。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAsgAGk3oXm6
言碧俠見狀,慌得連連搖手,道:「那怎麼成?我和那干惡人動手不是為了貪圖這些好處的!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAI4QBPVOKP5
「只是點小小心意,大俠別客氣啊。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAJzRp1RYYxT
見幾個市集街鋪小販圍著言碧俠左一句好意右一句塞禮,搞得她手足無措,一旁季師姐於是接過話,道:「為善不欲人知,為義不取。這是門內師尊的教誨,還請諸位別為難咱們小師妹了。」556Please respect copyright.PENANATaZQkDdpHf
好不容易遣走眾人,師姐妹倆抓過塞滿乾肉條的竹簍便急忙上路,免又被好事的鄉村民眾給攔堵。556Please respect copyright.PENANAeDKi7g4BcK
奔出市外幾里後,兩人終得已放緩腳步。言師妹長吁一口氣,轉頭向一旁的師姐露出燦爛笑容,道:「多虧季師姐幫忙,不然適才都不知曉得要怎麼開溜了。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAEEI5fs33Bh
這小師妹十歲入門,短短六年內雖然劍法進步神速,但對人對事卻一如往常的生嫩。季澐內心裡苦笑了下,搖頭表示沒什麼。
武館位在遠離塵囂喧鬧大街的一處偏遠田野處,一幢廳房庭院層層疊疊地六合大院。556Please respect copyright.PENANACiQufyp7gU
師姐妹倆攜手同行,快步走至館前。碰巧初入門內的門生在院外打掃,便連門也沒敲順行而過。556Please respect copyright.PENANATxFo3hwHwm
她們走了一趟灶房將盛滿食材的竹簍交與管灶人後,這才往主廳去準備向師父稟報事已辦妥。556Please respect copyright.PENANAfH8UKCjQiG
甫過檻登門,平日處理師輩門內雜務的侍童已靜候在旁,見道是兩人,即道:「言碧俠、季澐,師父有事找妳們倆。556Please respect copyright.PENANAnKyM4TddyG
季澐不禁擔憂起來,莫非消息走比人快,言師妹在山下打架鬧事的風聲已經被師父聽聞了?季澐問道:「是什麼事?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAeNYTcw6K5Y
但那侍童只是搖頭,沒有多說什麼。556Please respect copyright.PENANAsx4hQV55xy
連自身親信也不交代,莫非是真動了怒?季澐還在煩心,言碧俠已經搶先拉著她,道:「師姐,別發愣了。咱們再不快些師父可又要不高興了。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAyJqAnzufua
「嗯。」真拿這ㄚ頭沒辦法。季澐在心中暗嘆一口氣,便隨著雀躍不已的言碧俠逐級上階,往師尊等候的廳堂去。556Please respect copyright.PENANAOKihm0cm29
廳堂之內主座上,一名年近四十青袍長者已在此靜座等候。他雖已過期壯年巔峰之期,臉上細紋橫生,髮鬚多處參雜花白,但依然不失當年威嚴與武勇之色。556Please respect copyright.PENANA9SIlQuwz7E
兩人一見此人立時在座前下跪,呼道:「弟子給師父請安。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAmhGbelhBTt
季澐與言碧俠的師父李滄絳是蒼武流泉州武館掌門人,也是本門創立者。556Please respect copyright.PENANA5T21yZvVE4
過去在總館研修蒼武流的李滄絳受盡那嚴酷的苦練,自小又在軍家生長,受那肅殺的氛圍薰陶數十年,性情剛毅木訥,門內上下弟子無不敬畏三分。556Please respect copyright.PENANA2megSVcJML
但李滄絳長年醉心武學,是以老來無妻無子。身邊僅有自幼帶回的孤兒言碧俠,言碧俠因而一直頗得其寵愛。一干弟子又羨又妒卻不敢多嘴,生怕惹罪受。556Please respect copyright.PENANAsYh6NQRoGF
「為師有件要務需託妳們兩去辦。」李滄絳徐徐說道:「外傳武當的丹葛散人竊走了涵納天下百家武術的稀寶。盜取各派絕學的他現下在外鬧得沸沸揚揚。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAe1IAC7qnmM
「是什麼寶物這般厲害呀?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAxsgKUwea5I
「據武當副掌門所言,是顆夜明珠。」李滄絳道:「不朽盟三派已有人集結各方群豪要一舉殺之清理門戶,我要妳們前去支援。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAs8ssMjKTFC
聞言,言碧俠立刻道:「師父,這等小事何需勞煩師姐?派我一人前去便可!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAFQAoroSl1l
季澐心頭一驚,忙朝不知天高地厚的小師妹暗中擠眼,要她稍安勿躁。556Please respect copyright.PENANAk5UUW8US88
李滄絳卻不責罵,只是板著臉道:「路上有人相伴方便互相照應。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAz0T3Cl1biw
「......是。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAxmojCMPkMH
「準備妥當即日便可出發。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAxTCtz7FH9K
「是!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAb36hUOrGlq
季澐與言碧俠領命退下。當她們走出廳堂之外時,赫然發現長於他們的歐陽氏兩師兄也正在門外候命。那兩人一見她們出來,睬也不睬便昂首闊步踏入內裡去。556Please respect copyright.PENANAU1WPsgPWDj
言碧俠默不作聲一路與季澐走至別棟,突然才鼓著腮幫子不悅地說:「哼,目中無人的傢伙!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAWzmujplIy6
「誰又目中無人啦?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAShVGcwhXnD
「還不是歐陽劍、歐陽華那兩傢伙。」556Please respect copyright.PENANApeE1nAqM77
「他們一向如此,也不是衝著妳的。別氣啦。」556Please respect copyright.PENANA5ipl5V1Psw
「這次剿賊肯定有不少人去吧。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAGuYwC3Yaim
「對手是武當派的道長,武當派內想必有不少人急於清理門戶、挽回名譽吧。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAxp4zdBjIhF
「......師父八成也找上歐陽兄弟他們去,對吧。」556Please respect copyright.PENANA1BAqJcXdLV
「這個嘛......」556Please respect copyright.PENANAE8yFBooG2S
「我就是氣這個!」言碧俠忍不住跺腳,道:「師父是不是信不過我們!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAn8czPP9sdc
實際上這趟剿賊有不朽盟三派,武當更是高手盡出,人手已多不勝數,師父卻在這當頭派出她們倆下山前去。在季澐眼中這與其說是支援更像是要她倆去參與這趟剿賊行動。當中目的為河她也無從知曉,只能猜測師父別有用意。556Please respect copyright.PENANAedm431OCte
但季澐不知該如何向師妹解釋這一大長串,只能苦笑說道:「該不會吧,師父那麼疼妳。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAjXRO6qe3GS
豈料這麼句安慰的話卻惹來言碧俠一記白眼。她癟了癟嘴,委屈萬千地說道:「......你們都待我是小孩,是也不是?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAUHzUQfF3HP
「呃,這......」見言師妹氣鼓鼓的模樣,季澐反倒覺得有趣,險些沒忍住笑。556Please respect copyright.PENANAyMpndmAXke
見師姐答不上話,等於是默認,言碧俠氣得直跺腳,嗔道:「可惡、可惡!再過不久我就破瓜啦!」556Please respect copyright.PENANASfV3hIz4DW
季澐除了安慰式地揉揉自家小師妹的腦袋也不知該說些什麼。雖然她明白自家師尊一向以武為重,自然不會輕易弄些什麼同門弟子勾心鬥角的把戲。不過言師妹一向脾性倔強如男孩子般,於理之上要說動她也不容易。556Please respect copyright.PENANAmezdEt80IM
也許師尊只是想激起弟子們的鬥爭心,別因為有他派高手在場就怠惰鬆懈了吧。季澐如是暗忖。
兩人整頓簡便的行囊並秉師尊的令符至大院最內廳存放兵器之處提領兩柄真劍,這才離開武館啟程出發。556Please respect copyright.PENANAMOInIyytJJ
目的地所在之處乃是山林野地,按照師們規定若無特例州縣之內的外差門內弟子一概不得乘車,兩人只得徒步前往。556Please respect copyright.PENANA2nyZ607hl8
除了錢財方面的考量,也是避免弟子依賴車馬成性而怠慢了腿腳工夫的鍛鍊。有道是「練拳不練腿,一生冒失鬼」,無論何們何派凡是行家皆不敢小覷輕身騰挪的重要性。556Please respect copyright.PENANAaetpSLLMVR
根據探子它派飛鴿書信中所指,丹葛散人已至江南一帶。武當、少林兩派人馬將會前來會合,依時日推算應在這五天左右抵達泉州縣。按照師父所吩咐的,言碧俠和季澐兩人只需至關迎接大隊而後隨同前往鄰近的南華山即可。556Please respect copyright.PENANAk43NVW9FoO
但是言小師妹心中另有盤算--556Please respect copyright.PENANANPg9lzo2tD
「我們兩人走小徑肯定比大隊人馬還快。」556Please respect copyright.PENANA2YMC8Kctk1
「荒山野路,恐怕不妥吧。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAFUnWyXoKdK
「欸,超前那些叔叔伯伯一步搶個頭功,咱們門派內豈不光采?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAzYZb0LQ9ZJ
「可是......」556Please respect copyright.PENANAc9WqBeuaTR
「別可是啦!我們在山上苦修多年,難道師姐對自己的功夫還沒信心嗎?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAGLuKvryvcb
「也不是這樣。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAyX5qeePcxI
「那就走吧,好本領還得有好對手才秤量得出來嘛。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAN6pF3YIRQB
到時師父也會誇我幾句吧!言碧俠在心裡喜孜孜地想著。556Please respect copyright.PENANAEpF0LIN3RA
南華山一帶妖魔傳聞甚多,斑斕大蟲或鄉野奇譚不在話下。但實是蒼武流過去行俠頻繁。李滄絳年少時更為了驗證自證武道曾獨自入山屠殺多處山賊城寨,山頭之上遍地盡是無名亂葬墓塚,更罕有人至,鬼怪之說因而頗盛。556Please respect copyright.PENANA8bHaYPxCyX
兩人抵達南華山前一座不知名的小山。只要翻越此山嶺便是大隊的目的地南華山。556Please respect copyright.PENANAbaNGZf7qLi
她們開始沿著山路疾行,然不出一個時辰便已氣喘如牛。556Please respect copyright.PENANAAnSFfx1jCy
自從生來被師父帶回養育起,言璧俠便一直在他底下研習劍法等門內功夫,這輩子鮮少出過遠門,更遑論登頂百嶽。啟程前她完全沒料想到會是這種下場,本以為平日站樁整勁等基本功夫的磨練過後自己早已吃慣了苦頭這點小山不成難題,哪知愈是往高處空氣愈是稀薄,即便張口吐吶仍難回過氣來。兩人筋骨雖猶有餘力,氣息卻是紊亂不已。556Please respect copyright.PENANA49hXk5eX9Q
不服輸的拗性子依然驅使著言碧俠強撐身子繼續攀爬,但她抬頭放眼望去,前途依舊不見底,頓又洩了氣。心中有如被烏雲籠罩住。556Please respect copyright.PENANAbguEBjRtTv
「不、不若......咱們在這歇會兒吧!」季澐停步,彎下腰大口吸吐。556Please respect copyright.PENANAJlkEHk6o0T
在山腳下時因頻繁開口交談而耗氣過甚,言碧俠現下遠比季澐還喘。一聽師姐如是建議只能勉強點頭。556Please respect copyright.PENANAqwq1OP3WKS
忽然間,言碧俠拉住師姐停下,貼藏於一株巨木之後。她指著幾尺的不遠處,說道:「季師姐,妳瞧!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAw1gFrzP2A9
只見遠處一條紅色身影正鬼鬼祟祟地移動,師姐凝神細看,赫然發現那人腰間還佩掛著一柄開山彎刀,周遭全手是些稀奇古怪的異族配飾。556Please respect copyright.PENANANUejMdMsBD
師姐見了那人形貌,低語:「莫非是極樂刀的惡徒?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAJCGrAkYnMI
「八九不離十了。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAr4BrRiqfFo
「但他怎會在這兒?」556Please respect copyright.PENANALbA6gS2Vb2
「誰曉得,可能是這裡離賊窩近吧?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAR5svB5aHgs
「極樂刀惡徒多半獨行,這人該不會是這一帶山賊的頭兒?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAlxaQsUXy0J
「那樣正好,擒下他摸清楚這帶地勢,咱們也好找丹葛牛鼻子。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAgA0EscgkLb
「碧俠!」聽見這侮辱字眼,季澐不由得秀眉蹙起。556Please respect copyright.PENANAFXwyPQryNk
「啊,不小心就脫口說出來了。」言碧俠微微吐舌叫糟。556Please respect copyright.PENANAwQVu1d4qGj
「就算丹葛道長走火入魔,他的身分依舊是名門正派的前輩。一碼歸一碼,這些話可別在其他人面前胡說。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAKTh5e1qFct
「好嘛,我知錯了啦。師姐會原諒我吧?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAyDww7DCzSp
「妳這古靈精怪,也只有師伯們才能治妳了。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAWdTwMeWVWl
「季師姐--」言碧俠不依地喊說。556Please respect copyright.PENANAlLw55UfIzF
季澐揉了揉言師妹的頭,將她一頭俏麗短髮搓成鳥窩。556Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hkfc82iTP
打鬧夠了,兩人不再作聲。悄悄跟著那可疑身影前進。穿過層層密林,周遭樹木漸漸拔高,師姐妹倆頓覺自己矮了一大截。556Please respect copyright.PENANAMYrXkS6dpi
她們連夜趕路摸黑行走多時,早已疲憊不堪。556Please respect copyright.PENANA9XAwnnPD5D
兩人沿著足跡攀登,好不容易來到一處深山岩窟之前,才發現那足跡斷在洞口之前。556Please respect copyright.PENANA1dP9S7vqr1
「看來那人躲進裡頭了。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAaMPFbHsRPa
「嗯。」556Please respect copyright.PENANALsh9DWhUB1
言碧俠拉著季澐的手,道:「走吧。別愣著了,賊頭是不會等我們的。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAJCIAqzLwde
兩人拔出長劍以防萬一,這才踏入洞內。556Please respect copyright.PENANADVlQDUXagN
「烏漆麻黑的,什麼也瞧不見!」556Please respect copyright.PENANA8biEd8nczv
「師妹妳怕嗎?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAMDxutLJqGd
言碧俠輕笑一聲,道:「有季師姐在,什麼也不怕。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAly6sBr9ipk
季澐聞言不禁心中一暖,暗笑這傻丫頭。556Please respect copyright.PENANAvT4MxCkwCo
黑暗裡頭兩人彼此瞧不清神情。言碧俠忽然道:「師姐,妳是不是在笑我傻?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAUKJ0YYatAd
相處多年,想來言碧俠連見面也不必就能猜到季雲的心思。但她還是感到有些意外,反問道:「妳怎知我不是哭?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAxOs71rsrYA
即使在伸手不見五指的洞內,季澐也能感受到師妹的笑意。她聽了季澐的話,道:「師姐從沒在我面前哭的。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAIa1cKewQHM
季澐愣了愣,言碧俠又道:「季師姐處處照料,連丁點心事都不曾在我面前展露,我一直都明白師姐的用心良苦。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAdeHvkwwJlu
言碧俠頓了頓,語氣堅定地道:「我不怕不是因為年少輕狂莽撞行事,是因為深信師姐能夠保護我。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAgPCIJxdiSk
她倒沒這心思只是不願在倍受師父驕寵的小師妹面前表現出脆弱的一處,卻被天真單純的師妹說得體貼入微,內心裡頗有些哭笑不得。556Please respect copyright.PENANAHVvffS2kJ8
傻丫頭......這麼說我還怎麼嫉妒妳的好?季澐內心苦笑,道:「別說什麼保不保妳的了。師尊讓咱們同行,不就是為了彼此照應嗎?」
正當兩人之際,岩窟之內突然亮起無數柄的火光。556Please respect copyright.PENANAPEuEcWEfI4
言碧俠微微一愣,連忙舉劍自保,道:「這是......!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAmog4AtQfFt
「不妙,咱們誤闖賊窟。」季澐反應較快,她輕呼一聲,道:「快退!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAlwzBu2UQ47
言碧俠卻無畏懼,長劍映著火光,她可以看見前方有十來人左右,或有斑斕彩服或有上身赤膊者,己人手裡舉著火炬。556Please respect copyright.PENANAzheslNiTJ1
她本能回過頭,卻見身後有條鬼祟人影貼來,急忙回身一刺同時反手拉開季澐,叱道:「師姐!小心!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAxDoDXe3QX8
聲至劍至,那人影一抖,便即撲地倒下。556Please respect copyright.PENANAV4TV63YQCe
火光昏黃明暗不定,言碧俠也不及辨認對方何處中劍,急忙上前朝那痛苦打滾的山賊補上一劍,掙扎與慘呼戛然而止。556Please respect copyright.PENANAMKaT3fYnwl
不出三招平了一人,言碧俠信心大漲,道:「不過區區毛賊,今天就順手除光他們!」556Please respect copyright.PENANACls2ajhVrA
一把陌生的聲音忽然自後方插口,道:「是誰除誰還不曉得呢。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAp4jyCVLwON
言碧俠和季澐倆忙循聲回望,發現來時路上已佈滿火炬和人影。556Please respect copyright.PENANAjXFFhIdTkA
堵在入口的賊夥中為首一人掌中單刀,邀間也繫著一把刀,他上下打量著言碧俠和季澐兩人,道:「兩位小妞門造訪,爺爺們可不能怠慢招待啊。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAlj7Qbbfd5b
言碧俠冷笑,道:「我可沒看見這裡有門。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAwNACB5rK9Q
那漢子悶哼一聲,瞥了眼倒地的弟兄,警戒地道:「不知兩位是什麼來歷?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9yo5wHcWY
言碧俠道:「蒼武流,言碧俠!」556Please respect copyright.PENANA51EzwVGs3E
聞言,眾賊面面相覷,不知是誰先開始,賊夥們哄堂大笑。556Please respect copyright.PENANA3VCHRQWdlS
連那賊頭子也跟著冷笑了幾聲,他道:「好好,好的很。我還道是什麼人,原來是名門正派的弟子。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAlJe1v8EZN7
言碧俠受辱小臉帳紅,咬牙切齒嗔道:「你敢嘲笑我?我馬上讓你們笑不出!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAf9pYglAjfs
賊頭子兩臂交疊起,道:「拿名門招牌耀武揚威也是很快就笑不出了。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAXttpMdRLR0
「放肆!」言碧俠怒道,在季澐出手阻止她前便舉劍殺了上去。556Please respect copyright.PENANAz2GUVtZWoU
山賊一陣訕笑,在言碧俠面前突然遞出數柄釘耙和棍棒,密密麻麻封住她的去路。556Please respect copyright.PENANA42BNexlkIF
洞窟深處內視野不佳,在言碧俠眼中這些兵器有如毫無徵兆竄出的毒蛇,特別是那釘耙生滿的鋸齒的長頭橫在前方,洞穴之內更顯窄小。556Please respect copyright.PENANAFIzV6jdceX
見敵人仗著兵器較長躲在後頭,言碧俠愈加惱怒,於是揮劍要砍山賊持握棍棒的前鋒手。556Please respect copyright.PENANAD4wDS7Mskw
然而洞窟之內長劍不便揮擊,這劍頓時擦過堅硬的石壁。刃鋒的震顫快速回傳至護手與握柄,言碧俠臂膀一麻,配劍險些脫手,陣腳一亂立時再被逼退數步。556Please respect copyright.PENANAKQTwc9mZhS
殺陣再度為起,賊頭一陣譏笑,道:「名門正派不過爾爾!」556Please respect copyright.PENANADbq7B8jXYA
怒火攻心,不信邪的言碧俠冷哼一聲立刻舞劍再攻!556Please respect copyright.PENANAmAqDfIb1Oh
「小心點別殺了她!」556Please respect copyright.PENANATyQoDfhF88
「斷她手腳骨就行!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAKli9FbPSB1
喝聲此起彼落,伴隨著下流的淫笑,棍棒分擊言碧俠的四肢關節。556Please respect copyright.PENANARXuIK3Gxew
賊夥得勢不饒人,兵器稍稍多伸了幾吋長,言碧俠覷準來勢小幅揮劍架擋回去。556Please respect copyright.PENANACeDaZl8WGG
竹、木打造的硬桿並非名門寶劍的對手,鋒利的劍刃連格帶拖,一削之下山賊手裡的棍棒立時應聲斷開。556Please respect copyright.PENANAgjPgbrafo6
但言碧俠心中未及暗喜,頓時驚覺這麼一著那些原本末端圓鈍的棍棒反被削尖。見前方又是數支銳利的長棍戳刺而來,趕緊拋了個解數迴避其鋒向後脫逃。556Please respect copyright.PENANARWtOVH9Mxt
這一退又是數步,空間已甚不足,她險些和正在身後困戰眾賊的季澐相撞在一塊。556Please respect copyright.PENANA7D8EwBG0zW
言碧俠輕呼一聲及時煞止腳步,忙出言提醒,道:「師姐!」556Please respect copyright.PENANA7DdQXWBKNv
季澐心神未分,只道:「沒事!」隨即兜了個圈,迅速和言碧俠錯身易位。556Please respect copyright.PENANACvMM2D7ulS
兩方換手,言碧俠轉而面向前方去路。此時原本守於深處的山賊已在方才惡戰之中被季澐剷除泰半,言碧俠輕鬆不少,心中大石稍稍卸下,總算冷靜下來。556Please respect copyright.PENANAOa5W9fjXGd
她不求有功先求無過,舞劍謹守方寸,心心唸唸不可再退,以免真被逼得無處施展,屆時插翅也難飛。556Please respect copyright.PENANAfKczbtybYM
另一邊廂,季澐腳踏七星,劍翩若驚鴻身婉若遊龍,身在窄小的洞窟之內依然不失靈動。只見她聽音辨位,敏捷迅速地避讓眼前不斷冒生的「嗤嗤」破風聲,險險躲過無數偷襲。556Please respect copyright.PENANAePbGXB9ptr
火炬在前敵暗我明,季澐快步後撤不使賊夥輕易將包圍網聚攏,一面捕捉來者進招空隙,忽然反手一劍刺出。長劍探入伸手不見五指的深處,隨即劍尖一阻,季澐提劍腕處稍有感應立時抽劍再退。556Please respect copyright.PENANAEJjufRVjv0
她就這樣且戰且走,不斷地摸黑傷敵,逐步挫敗著賊匪們的心智。556Please respect copyright.PENANAEHcxRSQBwZ
當季澐再一次險險側首閃過一柄朝面門遞來的長槍時,她順著幾乎失衡的重心低矮下身子,舞劍揮掃下三路,打算反過來利用漆黑環境攻敵不備。556Please respect copyright.PENANA4761LFhUzT
不料她右足一伸,卻踏上某樣微微浮凸的古怪物件,黑地裡鏘然一聲響,撕心裂肺的劇痛立刻自她足踝襲上腦門!556Please respect copyright.PENANAAQrJCB53Bi
季澐慘呼一聲失足跌坐在地,她緊縮創處,幾乎要棄下手裡的三尺青鋒。556Please respect copyright.PENANA562uADyq54
當山賊們緩緩靠近,透過火把映著汩汩流出的鮮血,她終於看清是什麼暗器傷到自己。556Please respect copyright.PENANAIh8lf0m7SU
是捕獸夾。散落四處的金屬鐵夾左右攤開,一排排的尖銳鐵刺彷彿是潛伏地底的妖魔張開了血盆大口等待獵物上門般。556Please respect copyright.PENANAdX2S8i0j8v
耳聞驚叫,言碧俠回首方見季澐遭受重創,她氣急攻心,怒道:「卑鄙小人!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAR3KOs7Zoe9
賊夥聽得這聲斥責更顯亢奮,夾帶著辱罵穢語的譏笑聲此起彼落。556Please respect copyright.PENANAnxVCdd7R5I
「嘻嘻,大母豬上鉤啦!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAo7CW52PydK
「小豬仔別落下了,趕緊跟上!」556Please respect copyright.PENANA7sbEpzOvMn
「一竿打兩豬,穩賺不賠!」556Please respect copyright.PENANANShwoaXRbF
季澐強忍劇痛,她悄悄伸手扣住暗藏在腰後的幾柄飛刀,一面轉頭向言碧俠喊道:「走!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAvWudxuFy8q
聽得季澐聲中難掩顫抖的語調,言碧俠心頭揪緊,悲喊道:「師姐!」556Please respect copyright.PENANASF9pFf75Vm
時不待人,季澐不給言碧俠任何辯駁的機會硬是搬起臉,斥道:「快走!別理我!」語畢,季澐當即甩手一摔,一干自言碧俠身後圍來的賊匪立時人仰馬翻。暗器射出同時,季澐以劍支身單足躍起,捨身殺向賊夥。556Please respect copyright.PENANAiIBun4p4GG
被山賊們用身軀堵起的人牆出現了一絲縫隙,轉瞬稍縱即逝。556Please respect copyright.PENANAn9einxG4QT
言碧俠眼看師姐身邊圍著一團黑鴉鴉的身影,刀光劍影難分難解。後頭人群再度圍了上來,她明白再猶豫不得,只得咬牙別過頭去。556Please respect copyright.PENANA8lu23wmc93
當她往洞口唯一的明亮處連滾帶爬,身後傳來衣錦布綢被撕碎的聲音。556Please respect copyright.PENANAZR6GKCEJAD
言碧俠的膽愈來愈寒,但是大氣不敢多喘。當她逃離賊窩遠去,在林子內奔走數十里。回過首才發現一個人也沒追來。556Please respect copyright.PENANAWhGPbO4I5y
終於至此刻,傷疲頓湧上來。言碧俠兩腿一軟跪坐地上,洞內發生的事旋即又浮現腦海,臨去前師姐的呼喊,黑暗中的那些訕笑......556Please respect copyright.PENANAbwmt4ZTWxk
言碧俠雙手緊摀住嘴,倒吞一口酸水,胃裡翻湧如遭火炙烤。556Please respect copyright.PENANA3LWh75BZSg
她癱軟趴伏在地上,雙手死握起一團爛泥草皮,緊咬著下唇嗚咽不成聲,口裡一聲聲含糊不清的歉意。556Please respect copyright.PENANAV3edF6LRAh
自己對不起蒼武流派面門,對不起師尊的吩咐,對不起師姐的犧牲......更對不起自己初時的那番556Please respect copyright.PENANAEg3084FnSK
良久良久,那些在肺腑中激盪的情緒才漸漸平復下來。556Please respect copyright.PENANAssdyWejmlT
......鎮靜,師姐犧牲斷後,我不能辜負她的一片好意。不朽盟的正派俠士們也該到附近了,我必須快些下山求援才行!
正當她想起行趕在山賊抵達此處前下山求援,鄰近的林子內突然傳來一陣窸窣聲響。556Please respect copyright.PENANAqcmCMOZJae
言碧俠方才自一團混亂之中逃出生天,這時稍有任何風吹草動便有如驚弓之鳥。556Please respect copyright.PENANAyDpbn2MwHH
她渾身緊繃抓著長劍瞪著那頭,晚風拂面令她感到雙眼冰冷欲濕,眼淚幾乎再度奪眶。556Please respect copyright.PENANA3odRdupFdQ
但言碧俠強忍恐懼,舉劍緊盯漆黑的林中。她似是要藉此壯膽般提起聲量,喝道:「什麼人!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAAvEeTzWVZF
伴隨著一陣乾啞的長笑,一名髮鬚散亂的道人驀然破開一片枯枝殘葉,像陣狂風席捲向言碧俠。556Please respect copyright.PENANAehdHBaYwki
那道人頭上黃冠髒汙破舊,身上道袍也佈滿細微的裂口。他年邁的臉孔上爬滿了因劇烈扭曲變形而擠出的細紋,每一道紋路都深藏著瘋狂的亢奮。初與言碧俠打上照面,他立刻喊道:「師弟啊--!」556Please respect copyright.PENANA6lrQE9psav
言碧俠一眼就認出那道袍之上繡著的太極圖騰。556Please respect copyright.PENANAwNtRX9Mrur
「武當?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAxMvvpbeNBY
見是不朽盟三派的名門之一,少女手上的劍不禁稍稍遲疑。但那道人卻未因此而停歇,一記快劍疾刺她的腕脈!556Please respect copyright.PENANAbS7zCsWO5j
神門快劍!是丹葛散人!556Please respect copyright.PENANA4bKgWjK78r
言碧俠大驚失色,想不到此行最初要誅殺的反賊竟會在這種情況下遇上。她本能想縮身躲避,但人快不及已出的劍快,刃身抹過頓時掌背見血。556Please respect copyright.PENANAHTa9sUigMu
「唔!」險險偏過要害,劇痛總算激起少女幾乎消沉的反抗意識。她憤然嬌叱,遞劍還擊。556Please respect copyright.PENANAFtU2zifrQH
蒼武流師門利劍如江鯉靈巧穿梭,繞開斜架在前方的武當劍,直取丹葛散人的左胸心窩!556Please respect copyright.PENANAdqSdorXrIl
劍走偏鋒不易出勁,但目標終究是柔弱無防備的要害。言碧俠謹守方寸小心御劍避開堅硬的骨骼,務必使劍尖精準落在兩肋間隙。556Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hd4lND3M2
但丹葛散人卻不退卻,反而大笑逼近。他刺出長劍的右臂彎整個壓來,肘處正中少女鼻下的人中穴。言碧俠一個踉蹌,腕上勁道失準,劍身竟平貼著丹葛反被壓迫彎曲,一道口子也沒留下。556Please respect copyright.PENANAZXE4XZCm41
「可恨啊——!」屢屢處於被動下風,眼前又是不要命的拼死怪招。言碧俠一時難辨其招法,應招愈顯支絀,不由得惱怒起來。556Please respect copyright.PENANAtO0YUwaFAj
這瘋子全然不顧劍招拳理,根本把劍胡使一通......只要謹記師尊的教導訓言定能得勝,我一定能擊敗這名武當逆賊!556Please respect copyright.PENANAsza2Kyyijh
求勝心切卻難挽狂瀾,言碧俠又氣又急。自信、自尊隨劍路逐漸凌亂。她愈是想擺脫丹葛毫無章法的節奏就愈是難以自拔。556Please respect copyright.PENANA6F9W9vuaq4
——走狗運罷了!言碧俠內心狂呼不已,自圓其說的強詞在高下立判的形勢前猶如風中殘燭。556Please respect copyright.PENANAt0Ea6fjr7c
掙扎、自語、忍耐。無益喚醒信心,反將心理的某處裂痕拉扯撕開成思緒的幽穴。種種信念與堅持逐一被拋落、墜至谷底。556Please respect copyright.PENANArB8sgVnkBt
反觀丹葛散人輕鬆揮劍,劍身所行皆以角破直巧妙格開少女的快劍刺擊,劍尖盡攻她必救之處。言碧俠費盡氣力才不斷收招回防,這麼一來任憑她蒼武流的劍術多快也難施展開來。處處皆是險路死門,招招滯礙難行。556Please respect copyright.PENANAAOzFXJ3FSW
「不可能!」久攻無果,言碧俠耐心盡失,無法自已地放聲尖叫。556Please respect copyright.PENANA84JcVRRhoq
就在此時,那群山賊也正三三兩兩翻過山頭從後出現。556Please respect copyright.PENANAph5cXvVVzO
這夥人野居偏離市鎮之外的山林,平時除了獵捕山林野獸和行經路人外難得有燒殺擄掠的之機,如今有兩個自稱名門正派的小妞送上門來,他們可沒打算輕易就了結這得來不易的「遊戲」,是以這時才怡怡然循著言碧俠逃脫的足跡找來。556Please respect copyright.PENANA0dEkxtrh6n
見到那群手持粗製兵器的山賊,原先還與言碧俠纏鬥的丹葛散人突然使勁一個掙扎,推劍撞開少女。556Please respect copyright.PENANArhEB9m0vvT
「師兄!師弟啊--!」丹葛散人乾聲尖叫,乾澀的語氣像是長針刮過鑄鐵板一樣。他撲向那夥山賊,道:「殺!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAsQr32U1y2P
山賊見原本只圖追回言碧俠一人,豈料趕到之際卻發現少女身旁竟還多了一名披頭散髮的中年道長。對方更不由分說便挺劍殺來,幾名賊心膽怯的漢子不禁給喝得站住。556Please respect copyright.PENANAaIccDDn6Ca
但山賊老大可不吃這套,立刻揚手喝令:「上飛鎖!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAyxJPPQWd9Q
語畢,賊夥當中立刻有人甩開末端綁上鐵鉤的麻繩,紛紛朝丹葛散人拋擲。556Please respect copyright.PENANA4QUEBUgmRB
飛鎖襲來,丹葛卻不閃避,空著的一掌反手抄住一道飛索,末端的鐵勾深深崁入他的肌膚內,左掌頓時血肉模糊。但他恍若未覺,切齒拉扯,發勁的悶喝自牙縫擠出尖銳的「嘰呀」聲。556Please respect copyright.PENANAYrEZGAO5z7
山賊頭子見狀,大感意外,莫非這回真觸了霉頭撞上瘋子?但他還是強自鎮靜,道:「拉倒那隻臭豬!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAcOswHJcxUH
賊夥得令急忙上前合力扯繩,一方面也有人繞行左右兩側打算趁丹葛無暇自保給他一刀。556Please respect copyright.PENANAY3ZdG6ozvA
然而丹葛散人也發狂使盡吃奶的力氣相搏,他上身向後仰躺,即便被山賊拉去了數丈以至雙足幾乎深插入砂土之中也不失重心穩固。見到有人接近,立刻奮力展臂揮劍。幾名站得燒近的山賊頓時身首分離,目瞪口呆的頭顱滾地畫下鮮血淋漓的弧線。556Please respect copyright.PENANAUxIqi6QDpI
見丹葛以一敵多依然勇猛無匹,一干山賊膽寒之際手頭不慎稍鬆,反被丹葛一人扯了個東倒西歪,兩方身形同時崩潰失衡,跌在草皮上。556Please respect copyright.PENANATZE0rQ70wk
山賊們掙扎爬起,丹葛一個鯉魚打挺迅速站直,兩方彼此間距頓減。556Please respect copyright.PENANACyjyUkkqOM
機不可失,道人高舉長劍,飛揚的袍袖之下臂肌賁起。他道:「貧道這就來!」長劍立時揮掃成鞭,所過之處血光飛灑,頭顱飛旋。556Please respect copyright.PENANA3PbPRzm7OL
用長劍劈棍砍人,這等強橫蠻力言碧俠聞所未聞。她雖自嘆劍法不如人,但眼前此景更加深了丹葛散人在她心目中的可怖。556Please respect copyright.PENANAhRR7vfVqvo
少女勉力按捺惶恐不逃,雙手卻已握不穩劍兀自顫抖著。556Please respect copyright.PENANAwC2pDzs0aZ
山賊們四竄,卻不盡然是出於恐懼,驚呼聲中也不乏嬉鬧的叫囂。556Please respect copyright.PENANA3NjbOYjBvW
他們畢竟人多數眾,雖然山野莽夫體魄難與長年精修鍛鍊的丹葛散人相較,此消彼長依然讓漸漸占據優勢。556Please respect copyright.PENANA2xljhLtP5N
幾人一時站得稍近不慎被丹葛所殺傷,接下來卻再也沒人貿然上前也沒人出手。丹葛就這樣胡揮一氣,白白耗費內勁,無功而返。556Please respect copyright.PENANArArpCVX0Xg
--這些下三濫的鼠輩!言碧俠見狀,在心中暗啐了一口。卻見丹葛散人突然轉過頭來,不分敵我重新撲向自己這頭,高吼道:「殺呀!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAwWUHoBJYau
幸虧少女雙目自始至終不曾離開過丹葛,後者一發難她立刻順應本能刺出長劍迎敵。556Please respect copyright.PENANAPFEKWtDV5n
「師弟!撐住!師弟!」兩劍相觸,丹葛驀地狂喊一聲,隨即劍尖畫圓,蠻橫的勁力硬把她的刺擊捲開!556Please respect copyright.PENANAPCyQ9vh7xC
武當長劍繞圈急轉,言碧俠感到手中長劍不受控制地受敵牽引,急忙抽身想退。556Please respect copyright.PENANAKieMBgaOLM
這招太極劍本是武當至高絕學,以「聽勁」感受對手出力方位、大小而反利用其走勢化力,施展開來有如吸星神法,敵兵是去是留盡在掌控之中。556Please respect copyright.PENANAnAFvS5qQzW
太極劍施展順利,全端看練者「聽勁」的功法至何等境界。「聽勁」的至高心訣在於「一羽不能加,蟲蠅不能落」--緩如羽毛飄降也可在分隔數毫間不使之觸及髮膚,疾如蟲蠅振翅也能在若即若離中使之近身而無能飛降著地--如此細膩巧妙的內力操控非常人所能及,多年苦練與天賦缺一不可。556Please respect copyright.PENANAdsNRt7mA6x
然而此刻的丹葛散人癲狂如痴,這招太極劍他全憑蠻力使出,雖是及時偏轉了言碧俠的刺擊卻也無法黏住她的劍身,只是將她的長劍重重盪開。556Please respect copyright.PENANAeIImuhOFEt
「殺了那隻老廢狗!」鷸蚌相爭漁翁得利,言碧俠和丹葛這麼一交上手,那群山賊立刻又重新圍了過來。飛鎖、棍棒、釘耙齊上。556Please respect copyright.PENANAzr74HAUnTW
「卑鄙小人!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAafOytRVOT4
言碧俠見丹葛雙臂被繩索纏上,不禁大罵揮劍驅趕那些賊匪。雖然此行本是要討伐丹葛,但這些宵小之人的無恥行徑更令她難以忍受。556Please respect copyright.PENANA3ryLQMeGvH
麻繩不堪利劍名器割劃,劍鋒過處盡數斷裂。退去飛爪,棍棒仍在前。言碧俠舞了個劍花自保退開,背後卻突然一涼,隨即熱辣的劇痛如火襲上身來!556Please respect copyright.PENANAix4DRbiBOU
少女慘呼一聲,右肩自左腰已受到重創。她回頭望去,卻見丹葛散人掌中劍鮮血直滴,赫然是他趁自己不備從後偷襲得逞。556Please respect copyright.PENANAyJOjnkPkep
言碧俠震驚不已,抱傷踉蹌退開,瞪著丹葛散人,尖聲道:「虧你還是名門正派的武林前輩,連你也行此骯髒手段!?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4s7l901Hw
「撐住......撐住......」丹葛散人卻不追擊,他對言碧俠的指控充耳未聞,只顧低垂著頭唸唸有詞,道:「......師弟們,貧道這就來救你們了.......」556Please respect copyright.PENANAxD5C8Zx9Lk
後方的山賊悄悄伸長棍尖試探旁若無人的丹葛散人有何反應,但長棍末端僅僅稍微沾上他的袍服,丹葛立刻像是轉醒的兇獸驀然旋身舞劍,山賊急忙譁然而退。556Please respect copyright.PENANApe8A9rAzEG
見到那夥賊人以眾欺少讓丹葛散人虛耗真力,後者卻始終沒有險露疲態,言碧俠不由得考慮起是否該先讓這兩方惡人自相殘殺一陣,最後再由自己出手殺敗丹葛最是上算......556Please respect copyright.PENANAdcAkLYgAxu
此念一在她心中萌生,少女立刻搖頭撇開腦海中的胡思亂想,恨不得賞摑自己一掌。556Please respect copyright.PENANA9QvENeBc6H
不!這麼做和那些惡賊豈不是沒分別了嘛!如此卑鄙行徑......不是堂堂蒼武流弟子應有的氣節!556Please respect copyright.PENANATVMisBoBve
「今天我誓要殺盡你們這些匪類!」言碧俠咬牙,背上的傷痛更激發了她的鬥志。她仗劍而立,鼓起僅存的勇氣,喝道:「丹葛!帶種的就和我決一死戰!」語畢,便舉劍闖入混戰之中。556Please respect copyright.PENANABB8INyLsAw
在開闊的林地之內動手加上還有一半以上的人手在老巢當中,山賊頓失人和與地利,而對手又是利刃對粗兵,揮砍起來削鐵也如泥。一干貪生怕死之徒根本沒打算繼續和瘋牛般的兩人硬拼,丹葛和言碧俠兩人殺到哪他們就退到哪,包圍網反覆遭到衝散。久而久之,兩人皮肉多處增添青紫,賊夥中卻也不斷有人落單而魂斷劍下。556Please respect copyright.PENANA9ALcFiJbDT
見己方死傷更甚,山賊頭子忍不住青筋浮突,啐罵道:「媽的!一群廢物。」說著,他從地上拖過一條已有些發冷的弟兄屍身,架在身前做盾,悄悄繞向另一側往那名年長道士逼近。556Please respect copyright.PENANAa6He5aPeWF
混戰之中敵人不住變換,時而是山賊時而又是一名小妞,饒是丹葛散人也不免分神,更渾然不覺戰圈之中有人鬼祟潛行。幾個呼吸間,山賊頭子已在他身後五步之內。556Please respect copyright.PENANAJ20Iefx3Wg
勝券在握,賊頭子奮力將屍體推向丹葛,雙手高舉起短斧,咧嘴喝道:「廢豬!去死吧!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAvs6zoG6A6O
那癱軟笨重的屍體一掛上丹葛散人肩頭,他順勢扭頭望去,驀地看著山賊那張臉容驚恐的死相發出淒涼的悲嚎。556Please respect copyright.PENANAhDRhgQuc4p
「師弟啊!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAz1zGjQQfO4
聲去,斧到。556Please respect copyright.PENANArUvw9IORng
天降旱雷般的上段一劈雷霆萬鈞,丹葛散人虎軀一震,幾乎身形不穩仰天跪下!556Please respect copyright.PENANAyHpGh303gm
熱液飛灑,黑暗中也分不清是鮮血或屍油。丹葛卻不顧傷勢,猛力撲向山賊頭子,張口往脆弱的咽喉咬下!556Please respect copyright.PENANAbVNJ09a04b
山賊頭子連高興都來不及,猛然被人按在地上,頸部隨即發涼,伴隨丹葛扭頭撕扯,鮮血泉湧而出!556Please respect copyright.PENANAiVoZOInl5c
那不似人的淒厲嗥叫尖過任何兵刃的交錯之聲,劃破整座山頭頂端的夜空。在場眾人皆為之一震,不禁放下了手上的兵器,轉而循聲看來。556Please respect copyright.PENANAQ81vD73f0d
只見丹葛散人扭過頭,半邊髮鬚都被染成腥紅,宛如來自地獄的惡鬼,準備將在場所有人都吞噬。眾賊見他形貌可怖,頭子又倒在旁邊奄奄一息,戰意削減泰半,頓時退得更遠。556Please respect copyright.PENANAug5Z5ElcdG
「來啊!再來啊!再來千萬個,任憑你們這群烏合之眾使盡下三濫手段也絕殺不了我!」見眾敵四散退卻,丹葛散人仰天大笑,散亂的髮鬚因而震顫不已。他兩眼透出瘋狂的神采,過步飛竄,朝著鄰近的言碧俠飛躍而來。手中三尺青鋒有如毒蛇出洞般噬咬向她的咽喉!556Please respect copyright.PENANAKTtmwOpwoA
料想不到對手像頭瘋狂的野獸全然不願省勁調息,年過四十的老道體力像是毫無底限一般無止盡地揮霍。556Please respect copyright.PENANAAXwBX7rwKy
這一記出乎預期的飛劍她根本不及閃避,只得硬著頭皮托劍架擋。556Please respect copyright.PENANAoDMQOgRikH
捨身刺擊力道萬鈞,兩方交擊言碧俠立刻感受到對方運使肩、臂、腕的內勁加以渾身的重量與速度正透過那劍刃排山倒海而來。556Please respect copyright.PENANAyIO1N3qHtq
言碧俠咬牙苦撐,長劍卻漸漸反壓向她的胸膛,眼看手裡的劍就要反砸在自己面門上,言碧俠又怒又急,張口大力吐吶試圖鼓足勁反退出一絲空隙。556Please respect copyright.PENANAQmFLIYUJV1
然而久經鍛煉的成年漢子的內勁豈是一名少女能夠正面抵抗的?言碧俠即便使勁至血衝腦門、面紅耳赤依然被徹底被制住,連一分一毫也無法掙扎動彈。556Please respect copyright.PENANAxPM9POq6b0
她仰天長嘯,卻是瀕臨敗亡前的最後悲鳴。命懸一線間的垂死掙扎卻正巧掩蓋住了一絲細微難察的破風聲。556Please respect copyright.PENANAoz77ZitrKA
山林之內光線微弱,連丹葛散人這等高手也難以及時反應。當他渾身前傾即將以泰山崩潰之勢徹底壓垮言碧俠的瞬間,毫無防備的面門冷不防一痛,霎時喪失右側的視野!556Please respect copyright.PENANAKdHd2boZkn
丹葛再如何驍勇也難克制住人體受創吃痛時的本能反應,劍下施勁頓出偏差。持續反抗的言碧俠正巧及時掌握到這一線生機,扭身一錯,劍身擦著丹葛散人的壓制滑開,幾個打滾已脫出他的劍圍。556Please respect copyright.PENANAsSx8wbNe5f
僥倖得存,但這一滾倉促不已,言碧俠也不慎劃傷自己,背上的患處也受到擠壓,可說是傷上加傷。她才踉蹌站起,正欲回過頭看是誰人出手搭救,面前寒芒又現,只能舉劍再擋。556Please respect copyright.PENANAQPO2jzfApJ
這次丹葛什麼花巧劍招也未使言碧俠也無能閃避。他舞棍般地全憑氣力揚劍,劍尖挾帶著甩臂的離心力量向上揮掃,再度重敲瓷白長劍的劍脊。556Please respect copyright.PENANAI9pSwqpkLJ
言碧俠的劍法路數本就偏向靈快精準,使勁硬碰硬她決計不是成年男性的對手,即便她及時以雙手握劍然難抵抗丹葛的內勁衝擊,頓時雙臂被震得高高揚起。556Please respect copyright.PENANAWvaUrKmHnU
在武學中形似兩扇門的雙手此際大開,饒是她的蒼武流劍法再快,也快不及收回救駕大開的中門。更何況人體中線之上一排望去盡是要害,丹葛散人隨手輕點都能轉移目標,言碧俠只能猜測他的劍落之處,可說是無從防備。556Please respect copyright.PENANA0jDldAp5di
她橫劍身前,主守致命要害處,右大腿處驀地一涼,已然中劍。556Please respect copyright.PENANA06PITH0woO
鏖戰至此,精神疲憊的言碧俠已漸失原有的專注,丹葛這擊更出乎其預料,根本猝不及防,她頓時失去重心單膝下跪。556Please respect copyright.PENANApFG4zuAnze
她的創口乃是人體要脈之一,丹葛長劍一抽出,言碧俠頓時血流如注、臉色青紫。她明白到自己所剩時間不多,縱使無人痛下殺手,若不立即包紮,死於失血也只在須臾。
但她卻再也無力起身再戰或處理傷口,只能坐以待斃。556Please respect copyright.PENANAvUqNQL0tpA
言碧俠倚劍勉強撐住上身不倒,臉上已佈滿淚痕。她首先想到的卻已非今晚一役有辱師門抑或喪盡尊嚴,而是自己的武術生涯即將在此終結。556Please respect copyright.PENANAN9wXY7xn8j
月光灑落在她的身上,卻只讓言碧俠感到滿懷恐懼。556Please respect copyright.PENANAfhNmM2pqJ1
映著皎潔銀盤,劍光化成流星疾刺她的咽喉!556Please respect copyright.PENANAQB7JoJLpPw
劍尖未至,言碧俠高呼發出此生最後的悲鳴。556Please respect copyright.PENANAO7udhtKIGV
逼命之際,寒芒乍現。556Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZviaGIhqy
清脆「噹」響聲中,丹葛的長劍猛然一震,從中盪開。556Please respect copyright.PENANANm3xbk8ZFv
慶幸這劍丹葛瞄準的是目標窄小的咽喉而非胸膛等要害,僅此一偏便完全與言碧俠錯開,長劍刺在她一旁的草堆中。556Please respect copyright.PENANAemtIG1E9xR
言碧俠感到面頰熱辣,但她顧不得查看傷勢,也無暇顧及何人營救自己,只管掙扎著退開,盡己所能地遠離丹葛散人。556Please respect copyright.PENANA7FpTJGCz27
「言師妹!」556Please respect copyright.PENANADWPagITuyw
熟悉的呼聲自彼方傳來,同時數道人影翻越山頭浮現出來。556Please respect copyright.PENANAqAbrfh8RE6
「師兄!」言碧俠喜出望外。奔在前頭的兩人正是蒼武流內的歐陽劍、歐陽華兩兄弟。他們身邊還跟著各門各派的武林俠士,眾人一見是丹葛散人立刻布陣將其團團包圍;而那些山賊見到不朽盟人多勢眾,慌忙撒手逃離現場不再與丹葛糾纏。556Please respect copyright.PENANAWmprwQTGA3
在武林群俠圍起的陣圈中央,早有一名長袍道長和丹葛散人長劍相交獨自鬥了起來,正是方才接下即將刺死言碧俠一劍之人。556Please respect copyright.PENANA0fStJUHSXi
言碧俠抬頭望去,赫然發現那人正是「武當十道」之一的靜機道長!556Please respect copyright.PENANANrJ2GqVc9a
歐陽兄弟也拔劍出鞘,其中長兄歐陽劍則趕到言碧俠身旁,扶助她有些踉蹌不穩的身形,呼道:「季澐呢?她沒和妳在一起嗎?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAGBMH1JfwRK
連番惡戰的言碧俠這才回過神,想起季澐正在遭遇些什麼,眼眶頓又盈淚,喊道:「季師姐......季師姐她......」556Please respect copyright.PENANA1vkuCcQufC
連聲師姐,她卻已說不出話來,只能遙指著連她來時走的去路。556Please respect copyright.PENANAvLMKAQNNbU
下一刻,悲憤與羞愧淹沒了她的意識。失血過多的言碧俠終於支持不住俱疲的身心,昏厥過去。
顛簸的震動吵醒了言碧俠。556Please respect copyright.PENANAArY9Lo7jbr
她悠然轉醒,過了片刻才恍然發覺自己正在一輛馬車之上。556Please respect copyright.PENANAMtRH5lhWi8
她驚訝直起身子,看見歐陽師兄弟正坐在對面。而自己方才一直倚靠著的肩頭則是在她身旁的季師姐。556Please respect copyright.PENANA099Q7XCeDY
言碧俠嘴合不攏,訝然看著安然無恙的師姐,半晌吐不出半字。556Please respect copyright.PENANAooGvsdpbzU
季師姐投以詢問的眼光,兩人無語相對。556Please respect copyright.PENANAOh8H5Jhkxz
「師姐,妳......沒事吧?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAjozTkNkwD8
季雲遙搖頭,沒說什麼。556Please respect copyright.PENANAONY2FtYfBa
一旁的歐陽華見狀卻道:「什麼沒事,妳可知道我們去救她的時候--」556Please respect copyright.PENANAs1kT8GYekS
「少說幾句,沒人當你是啞巴。」歐陽劍瞪了自己弟弟一眼,歐陽華才不甘不願地閉上嘴。556Please respect copyright.PENANAOB8LUBnP6L
車內氣氛異常尷尬,歐陽劍清了清喉嚨,接過話道:「據師伯們說,那名道長因為一夜之間失去大量同門而失心發瘋、走火入魔,才會深信得來的那顆夜明珠是藏有各門各派的武功寶典。」說著,他眼神中閃過一絲憐憫,隨即恢復平日的冷酷,道:「丹葛道長連戰眾門弟子三天三夜,也該力竭敗亡了。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAIC2F8eiCwH
言碧俠聽了,胸間不由得鬱住一口氣。她感到有些沒來由得沒落,但又搞不懂。這和自己並無關係,何以在意?556Please respect copyright.PENANAx3ONBZY6UP
原來拼上諸多武門弟子性命守護的......終究只是顆尋常的珠子。556Please respect copyright.PENANASbNXtfTxwW
而他們行車輪戰法圍困丹葛散人,本就是保險的必勝之舉,既然如此......那又為何......556Please respect copyright.PENANAC8opqISQZf
言碧俠想也不敢想,嘴上還是顫抖著發話詢問,道:「既、既然如此......為什麼?為什麼師父還要派我們下山?不朽盟內並不缺人助拳了呀?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAX4TEej2HAu
歐陽倆兄弟彼此交換了個眼色,他們各朝左右向車窗外探頭張望,隨後是歐陽劍轉過頭來低聲說道:「三派同盟各有所圖,奪回寶物只是個名義而已。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAld9bg9mh9n
「那、那到底是為什麼?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAcNPACR9HWg
「在山裡練了三五年的苦功,妳難道就不想一試自己身手如何麼?」歐陽華接過話,反問中透出一股冰冷的譏嘲,所言之事卻又是那樣的理所當然。556Please respect copyright.PENANAYwNnLBK5OI
--身為武人,誰不想歷經實戰一試本領?556Please respect copyright.PENANAOzOdkIIkKK
「我......!」言碧俠想起甫下山之際那滿懷壯志的自己以及對著所師姐發下的豪語,頓時梗住。556Please respect copyright.PENANAEwARvbA2zR
行此義舉的俠士、弟子們是為剿匪、為誅賊、為名聲、為試招本就並無衝突。反正周遭有各門各派的師伯師叔在場看著,眾弟子大可放手一搏,多半無性命之憂;而圍陣中的丹葛散人生為武人困於死鬥,也算適得其所,死得有尊嚴。556Please respect copyright.PENANAg1mEA3izHd
言碧俠別過頭去,無顏面對倆名師兄的目光。一手緊拉著窗簾一角,恨不得此時此刻有天狗把朝陽給吞了,免自己的淚水給人瞧見。她忽然明白到,自己與那些人並無分別。556Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1t9wkWDGU
歐陽華似沒注意師妹的舉動,又道:「一周後的今天不朽盟三派將會舉行祭典,這周之內我們會上山除盡四散的各處惡賊,以慰丹葛道長在天之靈。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAQvr55mBqhd
「好的很。」一旁始終不發一語的師姐驀然開口。言碧俠顧不得眼眶泛紅,猛地抬起頭張大雙眼看著她。556Please respect copyright.PENANA5voN1adcOZ
她看見師姐正笑著。雖不明顯,但那含在她嘴角末梢處的淺淺笑意像是一抹彎刀,直刺入她的心頭。在她眼中,季澐臉龐洋溢亟欲報復的狠毒神色竟與那晚丹葛散人的癲狂神態相疊合。556Please respect copyright.PENANATLvD8BVCDL
言碧俠知道,物是人非一去不回。而對於江湖的風貌,她已不再那麼期待。
不朽盟與各方小門小派武林群俠齊聚客棧歛豐閣內,泉州鯉城之內市聲鼎沸遠勝以往。556Please respect copyright.PENANAAYPE2zlH5W
這幾天他們連夜驅趕南華山上的賊匪,所到之處勢如破竹,但此刻眾人卻是面上無光。556Please respect copyright.PENANAhCAZcycWgD
他們身上多半穿著素白短炮頭綁白巾,鐵青著臉直勾勾瞪著地上一具用白布包裹的屍體,不發一語。連店小二也不知道該如何上前招呼,索性窩在櫃檯後方搖扇看戲。556Please respect copyright.PENANAmXTmoa9Eec
「沒可能......」556Please respect copyright.PENANAvoknEEa5kD
一名漢子終於打破沉默。他同其他人一般繫著白布頭巾,身上卻是墨綠袍服,左胸衣襟繡了個小小的「蒼」字。556Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y3hLSztqO
他說話時仰頸飲乾一杯冷卻的熱酒,才有法接著說下去。556Please respect copyright.PENANASCZoP5Czt7
「沒可能的。他可是高手,身邊更帶有不少弟子......區區山賊怎殺得了他?」556Please respect copyright.PENANArpEmCxwcuk
說著,眾人神色皆是一暗。556Please respect copyright.PENANA38ppD9tRwx
包裹在白布當中的,正是武當十道之一的靜機道長。556Please respect copyright.PENANAqGFcR5azqj
「莫非蒼武流分館那個小丫頭所說的是真的......山賊裡面混藏著極樂刀門人?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAsERWaknamF
「那倒未必。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAoA6C36A3Hw
眾人循聲轉過頭去,卻發現門口一名身著儒服的俊秀青年。只見他輕搖一面油布大扇,扇面上素淡無繪,只有一道道工整交錯的黑白條文。方才那話便是出自他口。556Please respect copyright.PENANAmQZWhqqQ6d
「你說什麼?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAXoyveAtJrZ
「在下說,這人未必是極樂刀門人所殺。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAq0ezGM8xrq
「你小子算哪根蔥?什麼時候輪到你出聲!」556Please respect copyright.PENANASxmSwK62j2
黑白大扇收疊摺起,輕落在青年掌心之中。他不慍不怒,逕自走到屍首之前仔細端詳傷勢,隨後道:「此傷乾淨俐落,確實為兵刃劈砍所致。傷長不足一尺,則可排除戟、斧、鉞、朴刀等厚重長兵器。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAfDN4vElDnD
見到青年這旁若無人之舉,一干綠林好漢不禁吹鬍子瞪眼,其中一人更是拍桌大罵:「找打!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAgeO0zBaXQx
但一名坐在屍旁一桌的漢子卻攔下眾人。556Please respect copyright.PENANAvZjX6Bj41r
--蒼武流福州分館傳弟子。556Please respect copyright.PENANAoDUtaDAUDg
那綠衣漢子止住同夥的躁動後,向那儒服青年連連拱手,道:「失敬失敬,原來是不世高手,小弟有眼不視泰山。」這番話雖是抬舉之言,語中卻毫無褒意。556Please respect copyright.PENANAvtUyPGYse9
青年微微一笑,搖扇回道:「快別這麼說,在下只是個文弱的讀書人。」556Please respect copyright.PENANALH5gmfqPrY
「不不不,閣下既知不是極樂刀眾所為,何不為在場各路朋友解惑、明察兇手?」漢子刻意朗聲說道。他一面說,一面轉過頭去掃視在座諸位同路夥伴,意思在明白不過--要是這小子真只會耍嘴皮,再揍也不遲。556Please respect copyright.PENANA68af6ioubl
被這人一席話捧得騎虎難下,青年依舊泰然自若。他在手掌心裡輕輕敲點著摺扇,道:「在下願盡棉薄之力為諸位解惑一二,查兇辦案倒是不敢當了。」556Please respect copyright.PENANA7TldyYdhbF
龜縮孫子,還怕糗你不著?綠衣漢子心底悶哼一聲,說道:「依先生所見,這傷該是被什麼什麼兵器所砍?」556Please respect copyright.PENANALtQJhd9s1o
「若在下推想無誤,造成這道傷口的應當是--」青年悠然回答,道:「單刀。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAQjYmyQGqoN
「廢話!」「把我們話重複說一回算什麼!」「你說的咱們早就知道啦!」556Please respect copyright.PENANAbinEWDO7Ye
不說還好,此話一出如同對眾人火上加油。許多人鼓譟喝罵,更多的人站了起來做勢要打,卻被攔阻。556Please respect copyright.PENANAumXR7P7XJ9
青年黑白扇「嗦」地甩開,卻道:「不過,此人卻非死於刀傷。」556Please respect copyright.PENANAkOgZU84Fvq
「何以見得?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAivrQPyh0rY
「新傷舊患道理如此。諸位請看,這具屍身已因濁氣增生而鼓脹,棄置荒野曝曬也得費時三天三夜才至於此。更遑論五官面相髮膚一概俱已潰瘍腐敗,獨獨只有這痕刀傷並未如此。」556Please respect copyright.PENANA9gRvrqzKLa
言之有理,眾人皆為之一愣,綠衣漢子更是陷入沉思。他腦袋轉得飛快,很快便道:「莫非這刀傷是有人後來才補上去的?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAO5QEJueUfF
青年點頭同意,道:「恐怕是為故佈疑陣,引人遐想錯思吧。」556Please respect copyright.PENANA5TYrebwuaf
綠衣漢眉頭深鎖,一道念頭在他心底漸漸明朗起來,他自語道:「難不成......是修羅門?」556Please respect copyright.PENANAimPQedE1FG
「抑或有其它可能,但八九不離十。」青年道。556Please respect copyright.PENANA46eyhrZVKU
這宗已是本月第三宗案,嫁禍又一向是修羅門擅使的戲法。這番推測周遭眾人亦覺有理,紛紛點頭。556Please respect copyright.PENANADmAJrguGRK
綠衣漢再次看向青年,態度與前迥然不同。他道:「先生如何稱呼?」556Please respect copyright.PENANANDaqzfPe9a
青年微微作揖,微笑說道:「敝人,南宮仇士。」

【作者閒聊】
556Please respect copyright.PENANAwAeujevW4N
本篇劣作致敬名作無數。556Please respect copyright.PENANAHUNcqLH19W
致敬徐克的刀,致敬哥布林殺手,致敬喬靖夫的武道狂之詩,也致敬金庸的連城訣。556Please respect copyright.PENANAK8x7c2XPAr
滿地的捕獸夾就是取自於刀,入洞窟是哥殺梗,用語效法一點連城訣,武術概念則取自武道狂之詩的大道劍陣堂講義。556Please respect copyright.PENANAKnxbJG75j4
其實自己初讀小說時挺愛武俠,長大後便不愛了。大概是這一類別淺的太淺深的太深,好書難尋為文亦難,讀來痛苦提筆更是折磨。556Please respect copyright.PENANAcDr8WOZHXz
更何況行俠仗義這事本就只是存在於人們心中的美好想像,多半不切合實際的生活經歷。這大概是為什麼金庸全集「飛雪連天射白鹿,笑書神俠倚碧鴛」中我獨愛《連城訣》的緣故吧。
556Please respect copyright.PENANAJlULvjSpP9
556Please respect copyright.PENANA2XrTECz0NC
武俠電影我似乎看過幾部,但多半沒什麼深刻的記憶,只殘餘零碎片段的印象。諸如什麼「打十個」、「切他中路」、「從天而降」等。556Please respect copyright.PENANAHqgJP7TVRQ
還記得較清楚的,一是王家衛的「東邪西毒」,一是徐克的「刀」。前者深入心理事,後者迷狂身外世。一是陰柔一是陽剛,前者文青後者瘋狂,兩種江湖各有滋味。556Please respect copyright.PENANA2SFNKmH4wH
不過這篇取「刀」的素材果然還是較多,王家衛那種耐人尋味的高深台詞我實在抄不來XDDDDDD
