對整個皇廷來說,這一個中秋明顯不比十年前非人者來襲輕鬆,朱門長子朱萬屠殺國監宮、虐殺皇上寵宦小陸子之事已傳遍整座皇城,天下四門公然對抗皇廷,這可是轟動天下的大事,皇廷上下早已在議論紛紛,人心惶惶。181Please respect copyright.PENANAc44H5Kgv3a
181Please respect copyright.PENANAtseosKptfz
「我的媽呀!你們有沒有看到國監宮的慘況,那……那簡直不是人的所為!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAir88TbKElO
181Please respect copyright.PENANAaRqb587H4Q
「對呀!縱然陸大人罪有應得,但其他人也是無辜的吧?」181Please respect copyright.PENANA8cUzpc4AsT
181Please respect copyright.PENANAiWqX79kmR0
「誰說不是呢?那做法邪裡邪氣,我道那朱萬不知是否給妖魔操控,說不定就是妖魔化身,否則怎可能做得那麼絕?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAYGcXa5xdeR
181Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0mIxNpn8F
「照呀!就像絕醉樓的獨孤將軍一樣。」181Please respect copyright.PENANApmJ7hC2leN

「幸好九爺及時趕到,出手拿着了朱門的殺人王田嬰,否則,好像媚妃的天寵宮也會遭殃。九爺也真厲害,重傷下還能擒下那田嬰。」181Please respect copyright.PENANAHgFKgeyqez
181Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ7oe5dmiU
「你知道什麼?據說九爺可是拼了命的,這一次傷上加傷,你看過去數年中秋正日九爺必在皇城各處跟禁衛們賀上一賀,今日可連人影也看不到,可知他傷得真不輕。」181Please respect copyright.PENANATnFPkvuLpJ
181Please respect copyright.PENANAU9OxPQ2rq2
「唉!不知那朱門為什麼要殺那二人,真的如傳聞,是為了結成那討伐非人者的聯盟嗎?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAyte7wQ0jzT
181Please respect copyright.PENANAe9ADovwVoZ
「唉!據聞龍爺及遊將軍也在拿下朱萬那狂徒時給傷了,真是屋漏偏逢連夜雨,若朱門真的傾力而攻,我們皇廷……真的……真的擋得下嗎?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAgB1jogIwJK
181Please respect copyright.PENANApOzQSm1vbg
一名禁衛隊目見下屬喋喋不休,即喝道:「閉嘴!」眾禁衛即噤若寒蟬。事實上,那禁衛隊目也在暗嘆,天下四門的朱門全力出擊,現在的皇廷是否擋得下,又有誰答得了?181Please respect copyright.PENANANmNjgoPq9m
181Please respect copyright.PENANAnYZdITrL9I
只是,縱然有朱門襲擊的陰影,但日子還是要過,皇城上下現在已忙過不停,為中秋節而到處奔波。站在皇城北面酬神塔中,看着皇城人來人往,遊仙不禁嘆了口氣道:「中秋節……偏偏又是中秋,皇廷難道前世跟嫦娥過不去嗎?」181Please respect copyright.PENANA6uJ3RyAI2Z
181Please respect copyright.PENANAGaX59VE3pP
一把蒼老沙啞的聲音答:「管他嫦娥還是朱挽,要來的始終要來,難道還怕了他們不成?」說完竟大力咳嗽起來,咳得腰也彎了起來。181Please respect copyright.PENANAshMTz498yf
181Please respect copyright.PENANA7fXpdMZKRQ
看着那人,遊仙不禁暗暗吃驚:「朱門歸元勁果然厲害,龍霸只不過着了一掌,竟然已傷成這樣?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAHaSxPqgeaN
181Please respect copyright.PENANAYH8tTSKNct
只見龍霸身上披着白羊毛大袍,對比昨天,一張臉就像遭抽走了生氣,一臉皺紋像疊在一起,沒精打采似的,絲毫不像往日那霸氣縱橫的龍霸。181Please respect copyright.PENANArSY2tOt9Sb
181Please respect copyright.PENANAHYrLC66lz2
遊仙當下乾笑幾聲道:「龍爺當然不怕,但試想,現在皇廷只剩你和我二人,朱門門下食客三千,觀乎那被捕的三十名黑衣人均非庸手,哈哈……自古雙拳難敵四手,何況……九爺他……」181Please respect copyright.PENANAz2lVnRYvmr
181Please respect copyright.PENANAS8grptX2Bu
一聽見「九爺」二字,龍霸臉上登時現出痛苦神色,就像是面上給抽上一鞭,怒道:「正是他們傷了雙兒,他不找我們我也會找朱挽算上這筆帳!」181Please respect copyright.PENANA2gjtQlS5wr
181Please respect copyright.PENANAtk10JjBvhA
遊仙聽後不禁嘆了口氣,心想:「想不到那殺人王田嬰這麼厲害,竟然能令龍無雙受了那麼重的傷,他那傷勢可不是一兩日就能痊癒,唉!其餘八龍又……」181Please respect copyright.PENANA8wFHphICH7
181Please respect copyright.PENANAgLA2XSwHOp
龍霸忽問:「那赤焰子及屠名呢?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAp3Lm8QPpyM
181Please respect copyright.PENANARe6gGmLagv
遊仙想不到龍霸突然問起二人,隨即尷尬一笑道:「哈哈……他二人今晨已返回漠北和崑崙了。」181Please respect copyright.PENANAOTMciozhIG
181Please respect copyright.PENANAPXJrVTHBtV
龍霸哼了一聲道:「那你的什麼討伐非人者聯盟看來也是沒門了。」181Please respect copyright.PENANABInrR7zBck
181Please respect copyright.PENANABrThpfUTof
遊仙似不想談論這一話題,忽然說道:「那朱萬及田嬰怎樣了?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAvAiNMBg4XI
181Please respect copyright.PENANAyGT1QREKJc
一談及這二人,龍霸立刻又皺上了眉,道:「那二人的嘴可密得很,不論刑部的人如何拷問,就是不說,幸好探子說河北朱門還是沒有什麼動靜。」181Please respect copyright.PENANAsAi30TlLWo
181Please respect copyright.PENANAYhCEGrjTB6
遊仙沉默了一會兒,然後問:「那皇上他……」181Please respect copyright.PENANAcWuXaOCEqa
181Please respect copyright.PENANAPbWTpmhb8x
龍霸無奈地答:「聽得朱門來襲,皇上當然受驚,在那媚妃的推薦下,現在他正傳召了世果居士。」181Please respect copyright.PENANAKG9aYFzYeQ
181Please respect copyright.PENANAteseSYB44y
遊仙不禁失笑道:「世果?那算命的?哈哈!皇上實在有夠風趣,難道那世果居士能有法子對抗朱門?」181Please respect copyright.PENANA5UUXT0KMm4
181Please respect copyright.PENANAeNaK6oxGYL
龍霸說:「世果……哈哈……遊大人,只要你在皇廷待得久了,對這些事就見怪不怪了。」181Please respect copyright.PENANA4620Rtb3bE
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjiEt4Qjany
莊嚴的黃金大殿上,數以百計文武百官分成兩行排列,只見他們手中各拿奏摺,明顯有事奏請,然而,如今看這些官員的神色,卻明顯哭笑不得,因為他們的主子明顯有更緊要的事情要辦,可管不得他們,只着他們在殿上等候。他們的主子呢?只見黃金殿的盡頭有數十級樓梯,梯上橫置一張金碧輝煌的長枱,枱上雕滿五爪金龍及祥雲,枱後有一張雕上黃金飛龍的長椅,任誰都知道,這張椅子具有無窮的魔力,是世上最高權力的象徵,只是現在這張椅子卻是空着,因為他的主人已急得離開椅子,在側面左右徘徊,明顯很是焦急。人呢?這世上最高權力的人,年僅三十餘,頭上戴着釀滿珠寶的高冠,前後有數串寶珠如珠簷垂下,一身黃袍,袍上以金線繡滿五爪飛龍,威武非凡,只是,這手握天下權柄的人卻明顯過於逸樂,身子面上賤肉橫生,一雙眼沒精打采,眼下黑圈離遠可見。181Please respect copyright.PENANAcg58K5Hkrd
181Please respect copyright.PENANANWNJ8qf8N5
突然殿外一禁衛唱道:「世果居士求見!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAIHtt61w7DD
181Please respect copyright.PENANAXBYLqOFDFv
一聽見世果大師名號,皇上的臉上登時如久旱逢露,胖胖的臉上現出了笑容,即回到龍椅上坐下,口已急不及待叫道:「快……快傳!快傳!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAx7jXFqehPv
181Please respect copyright.PENANArMjpQ1vSyL
百官聽見世果居士,登時亂了起來,交頭接耳之聲此起彼落。181Please respect copyright.PENANAjACIjTp39O
181Please respect copyright.PENANAF1FKsjJpda
「世果居士?不就是那名滿天下的神算子嗎?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAnoGebCHBc7
181Please respect copyright.PENANASJTsoXwEzu
「傳聞他自幼獲得天啟,自此能洞悉天機,憑着他的神機妙算,不但屢次預測天災,還助不少人趨吉避凶。據聞不少江湖大豪都有找他談談。」181Please respect copyright.PENANAlK3PBBCO3p
181Please respect copyright.PENANAVnBovUfmOz
「是呀!江南襄陽王就因他一句話而決定散盡千金,解甲歸田。河北陳將軍亦因他一句話而扭轉敗勢,盡破十萬馬賊。」181Please respect copyright.PENANAlXCjHaam61
181Please respect copyright.PENANAkcGIVi7Dph
「現在他的一句話,可說是字字千金。」181Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZcJ67Rb2S
181Please respect copyright.PENANAPfSkoIcHeG
眾官見皇上如此急於見這位世果居士,心中都不禁大奇,不少人已回首引頸,希望看看這名滿天下的神算子。181Please respect copyright.PENANAxNyjjCUvOI
181Please respect copyright.PENANABnW4kAm953
這時一人昂首闊步走進大殿, 來人一身米白絲衣,頭上頂戴黑色道冠,衣飾簡單但剪裁貼身,手中輕搖白色羽毛扇,神情似笑非笑,神容丰俊,實難看出其真實年紀,只是給人一塵不染的感覺。 只見這世果居士面不紅氣不喘,輕搖手中羽扇,步履輕盈走到殿前,對着皇上唱道:「皇上萬歲,萬歲,萬萬歲!」居然並不下跪。眾官看見不禁心下惱怒,一武官更喝道:「斗膽來人,見了皇上還不下跪?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAkojAw8S6DZ
181Please respect copyright.PENANA9zzYeZRLHJ
世果居士卻充耳不聞,只站在原地微微笑着。181Please respect copyright.PENANAsyOSCBwqNI
181Please respect copyright.PENANA01RqjEd1en
皇上見狀即說:「住嘴!你們都給我住嘴!世果居士乃是朕的貴客,這種俗例就免了。」181Please respect copyright.PENANAm1OlQYuB9j
181Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jf8qPhpOT
世果聽後微微一笑說:「如此謝過皇上,觀乎皇上之相,烏雲密佈,明顯有一大凶星降臨皇廷,唉!」隨即顯得一臉憂愁。181Please respect copyright.PENANAhLZhZiUvZu
181Please respect copyright.PENANAgrvot3OvRI
他這句話可是說到皇上的心裡去,皇上即時問:「對呀!對呀!居士可有化解之法?」181Please respect copyright.PENANArsMsZzxcUU
181Please respect copyright.PENANANsg3bGByOb
只見那世果聽後緊皺眉目,忽然屈指而算,然後嘆了口氣說:「皇上,小民昨晚夜觀天象,見一大凶星自河北而來,色赤,已想皇廷必生亂狀,今日再看皇上龍顏之相,更加確切。小民斗膽,昨晚必定是朱門來犯!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAft00rECS30
181Please respect copyright.PENANAewCRbv5lQv
這句話一出,眾皆譁然,事實上,在遊仙及龍霸指令下,朱門來犯一事原本就是皇廷中人的秘密,即便大殿上百官也非全然知道事情實況。皇上聽到世果一語而中,心中登時對他敬若神明,脫口而出:「居士真神人,這事本是皇廷秘密,你怎……」181Please respect copyright.PENANABZOmI9vTOz
181Please respect copyright.PENANAltzjcOM5gn
世果登時打個哈哈說:「在小民眼中,天下並無秘密,小民如何知道並不要緊,問題是如何化解……」181Please respect copyright.PENANAborpfSYeUi
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjtpY1L5vzz
皇上即一拍龍案說:「對對對!如何化解這場災難,還看居士指點呀!」181Please respect copyright.PENANA1IMyAC5VjU
181Please respect copyright.PENANAzNtTE1i4lk
這樣一說,百官登時心下明暸,原來皇廷昨日受到朱門襲擊,這次皇上是要找這神算子來趨吉避凶,化解災劫,一眾武官卻聽得咬牙切齒,心想:「遇敵來襲,皇上不思如何迎敵,反召來一術士指點,這可是武者之辱!」181Please respect copyright.PENANApiKcIScK6S
181Please respect copyright.PENANAEivb9ghMVJ
世果卻忽然肅容走上前,眾禁衛只道這人要行刺皇上,登時「嗆」一聲,紛紛拔出刀刃,唬得世果也一時不敢靠前,只有點腦怒道:「皇上,這……要小民如何為你消災……」181Please respect copyright.PENANAQJBOynFHny
181Please respect copyright.PENANAOMufsMnm7z
皇上登時龍顏大怒,喝道:「你們退下,讓居士上來。」眾禁衛聽得皇上喝斥,如何敢再犯龍顏,登時俯首退了下去。181Please respect copyright.PENANAmcXJOjFdGV
181Please respect copyright.PENANAeRUbN8jtv0
世果見眾禁衛退開,登時走到皇上身前,對皇上說:「請皇上伸出手來。」181Please respect copyright.PENANA8FlARMLk5o
181Please respect copyright.PENANAGHobCRS1t6
皇上那容懷疑,即伸出雙手。世果登時聚精會神看着皇上攤開的肥大肉掌,大殿上登時鴉雀無聲,世果看了好一會,忽然面有難色喃喃自語:「怎會這樣……唉!難……難……難……」181Please respect copyright.PENANAby9srIdhsg
181Please respect copyright.PENANAoFeerowjom
這時皇上對世果深信不疑,聽得世果每說一難字,他滿臉的肥肉就縮入一分,整張臉就像摺疊起來,不禁急問:「居……居士……怎麼樣?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAdRCuZEEbUo
181Please respect copyright.PENANAA2rP56MieP
世果歎了口氣然後道:「觀乎皇上掌相,今年本就是皇上的大凶年,到了中秋更是凶星入宮,必有極大災難,要化解極不容易,此乃第一難。再者,皇上掌上有兩處折位,即除了朱門外,皇上命中還有一更大的災星,這災星指的便是非人者,非人者其禍天下,此乃第二難。而且……」181Please respect copyright.PENANA4EARAnptq8
181Please respect copyright.PENANADvqKMXr0V0
皇上聽得非人者早已嚇得魂不附體,即震聲問:「還……還有什麼?」181Please respect copyright.PENANA5cgdTzM1of
181Please respect copyright.PENANA5iLBbPNzPL
世果突然跪下說:「小民不敢說……」181Please respect copyright.PENANANio5kqL2ui
181Please respect copyright.PENANAS0w9ZHKU50
皇上想不到世果突然下跪,即雙手扶着世果說:「居士快快請起,有話好說,有話好說。」181Please respect copyright.PENANA37OkKHMCmG
181Please respect copyright.PENANAgpjUrhInxP
世果歎了口氣道:「觀乎皇上掌相、面相及星象,相互參照下,皇上陽壽到今年已盡!此乃第三難!」181Please respect copyright.PENANARORnxgpivP
181Please respect copyright.PENANAmja1lDQgUE
皇上不聽尤可,一聽之下不禁冷汗直流呆在當場。一眾官員聽見世果之言,不禁紛紛喝道:「胡說八道!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAfSvpUMJA6O
181Please respect copyright.PENANARqX0ElQeYc
數名武官更已拔出刀刃上前大喝:「大膽妖人在此胡言亂語?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAj4kcL66tcW
181Please respect copyright.PENANAlxam3DPk6Y
世果卻面不改容,只說:「三難雖難,但為了萬民,也非……」181Please respect copyright.PENANA8352hxjhM7
181Please respect copyright.PENANApetEdYgJ1Z
皇上原本龍顏已現怒容,聽得世果語鋒已轉,立即一擺手叫停百官,問:「居士救命,居士救命!」181Please respect copyright.PENANA8MzDsqtXks
181Please respect copyright.PENANAC6jXATw9WM
世果緩緩起身說:「要化解凶星助皇上增加陽壽本就逆天而行,這實在有違我等修道者的根本……」181Please respect copyright.PENANAEw4LmU8653
181Please respect copyright.PENANAjGa84K0Giu
皇上即說:「居……居士……你不為朕也要為萬民呀!朕什麼也依你的!」181Please respect copyright.PENANARbNcuJ8fsN
181Please respect copyright.PENANAMcX7opVJ5d
世果嘆了口氣道:「也罷!縱然會縮減小民陽壽,但為了皇上及萬民,小民也只好當仁不讓了。要化解這些災劫,必先要找出三道難題的相關之物,即與朱門、非人者及皇上血脈相連之物。」181Please respect copyright.PENANAgFGH1SU3ho
181Please respect copyright.PENANACS9QsC77nr
皇上即說:「有!有!有!朱門長子朱萬已是階下囚,至於非人者,當年眾高手力拼非人者,就割下了那妖魔的一根指頭,至於朕……不會是要割下朕的……」181Please respect copyright.PENANAnrtTA1ghaN
181Please respect copyright.PENANANLbuEzbghS
世果對天打個哈哈說:「如此好辦!如此好辦!皇上放心,小民只要皇上的數根頭髮就好!」看見皇上大大呼了口氣,世果笑了笑又道:「只要集齊三物,皇上容小民於這黃金大殿外開壇作法……還要一燒得沸騰的銅鼎……」181Please respect copyright.PENANAzDcC132Ccl
181Please respect copyright.PENANA7AJGzGVbr3
皇上問:「要作什麼?要烤了那朱萬嗎?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAeD8JOhUac9
181Please respect copyright.PENANAZzwkqLLWVP
世果說:「非也,這銅鼎是要作放上犧牲品以獻上蒼,替皇上解災……」181Please respect copyright.PENANALfTHgmIiWg
181Please respect copyright.PENANAkzRdmOMnEO
說到這裡,有數名官員已禁不住破口大罵:「妖言惑眾!皇上,你千萬別聽這妖人所言,作一場法就能消弭災禍?門都沒有!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAUiG6VAlmkx
181Please respect copyright.PENANAR7sQLKb7CY
面對群起指控,世果不怒反笑問:「敢問各位,你們是否能為了皇上,做什麼也可以?」181Please respect copyright.PENANA4H726siQO5
181Please respect copyright.PENANAUOmk59LOYg
剛剛大罵的官員即齊聲答:「當然!為了皇上,下官萬死不辭!」181Please respect copyright.PENANABuj4tmn094
181Please respect copyright.PENANAfprWoJBPYY
世果即一拍大腿讚道:「真忠臣也!如此甚好!恭喜皇上能有此等忠臣,敢問他們姓名?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ9GHXxVKM
181Please respect copyright.PENANAj7Jh5tS8Ok
皇上沉吟道:「那是山東統領孟群、太原軍統陳師、兵部士郎劉達……等等。」181Please respect copyright.PENANAm30rJBiPks
181Please respect copyright.PENANAv2b9HDdx0n
世果一邊聽一邊屈指而算,然後道:「總共三十餘人……唔……」突然轉身問眾人:「你們有那些是肖虎、馬?請站上前來」181Please respect copyright.PENANAZtqzqxHQGg
181Please respect copyright.PENANAUUeRvYmfft
眾人一時不明所以,皇上即喝:「快答……卿家快答……」在皇上喝斥下,有八人不情不願站了出來。看見這些人,世果喜形於色說:「好!好!好!八人剛剛好!皇上,這八人極為重要,因為他們就是獻給蒼天的犧牲品!」181Please respect copyright.PENANA9ddw2KnJlV
181Please respect copyright.PENANAI5QJCQKj9c
此語一出,眾人不禁大吃一驚,那八人更是怒不可遏,紛紛大罵世果,連皇上也是沉吟不已。世果見狀不禁歎道:「唉!小民也知此事甚難,罷了,罷了!一切皆休!」181Please respect copyright.PENANACNuyjdLKLc
181Please respect copyright.PENANAcxAgbo7lY2
皇上見世果神情悲痛,不禁問道:「居士除此別無他法?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAdy1ro9v83B
181Please respect copyright.PENANAUzfXaOLRdg
世果道:「皇上,此乃八大金剛大法,必需選擇對皇上極忠心而又肖虎及馬的八人作犧牲品,化作八大金剛,替皇上消災解困,此法一成,不但災難盡去,皇上也能福壽永享……」181Please respect copyright.PENANAIsMAc8N2B1
181Please respect copyright.PENANAJkUs80ltGj
聽見這句說話,八名賢臣已感不妙,正要喝斥世果,那料皇上即道:「唉!如此……為了萬民,也只好難為愛卿了!人來!好好『照料』八位愛卿!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAzfTbpPovXe
181Please respect copyright.PENANAaEkbbHuF4X
眾禁衛跟隨皇上已久,當然知道皇上心底話,即一躍上前拿下了八人,那八名賢臣不想皇上這般無情,不禁大叫:「皇上!皇上三思呀!莫聽這妖人所言!他……必定是妖魔所扮!皇上!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAcm2yH8Eggl
181Please respect copyright.PENANAeJfUpmvt0a
皇上皺着眉說:「愛卿們為國捐軀,朕必永感爾等恩德!朕也會善待爾等家人,禁衛們,還不快去準備居士要的東西!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAqU4UjKuIQj
181Please respect copyright.PENANAI2FgU9Is0a
那八人聽得皇上所言也是悲從中來,有數人更是當場哭了起來說:「罷了!罷了!我等為國為民數十載,想不到最終落鍋而死!蒼天無眼!」181Please respect copyright.PENANAOode4OAeTH

181Please respect copyright.PENANAO5umIgoQLc
到得後來更開始辱罵皇上,皇上聽得眉頭大皺,即揮一揮手,着禁衛們封了他們的嘴,讓他們不能張聲。群臣見皇上深信一妖人所言,殘害忠臣,也是怒不可遏,奈何皇上專橫獨斷,可是誰也不敢當面觸犯聖顏,均怒不敢言,有部分臣子不忍親睹慘劇發生,都稱病離殿,一時間殿內只餘下數十名一向奉承之輩。181Please respect copyright.PENANA269NOlyqXz
181Please respect copyright.PENANA1KWcfjqqhR
世果見狀即說:「這法事要晚上作才能收大效,適逢今日中秋佳節,不若皇上今夜與眾臣一邊歡度佳節,一邊觀賞小民作法如何?」181Please respect copyright.PENANAkNpq1Aayfa
181Please respect copyright.PENANAkswab1NSSR
皇上聽罷即說:「一切但憑居士吩咐。」
