The rich merchants sit there ponder over, in head was all chaotic. 富商也蒙了,这个莲花镖局他是知道的,势力具体有多大,他并不知道,但有件事情他是极其清楚地,那就是如果莲花镖局灭他满门,轻而易举。富商坐在那里思前想后,脑袋里全都乱了。 At this time, Zhao Third Brother's words resounded: „Brother, does not need to be so pessimistic, since two Virtuous Nephew return safely, lost money . Moreover the matter involves is not the Misty Faction person, it is estimated that did not have other important matters. However, Brother, remembers this matter stop, surely do not look for that several person's trouble, if were known by the Misty Faction person......” 这时,赵三哥的话响起:“老弟,也不必如此悲观,既然两个贤侄安然归来,也赔了钱,况且事情涉及的也不是缥缈派的人,估计也没有其他的大事了。但是,老弟啊,记住这件事就此打住,千万千万不要去找那几个人的麻烦啊,万一被缥缈派的人知道……” These words like the gospel, listen in the ear of rich merchant, he awakened immediately, said: „I know the Third Brother, my Present looks forward to deliver them again 5200 paper money. Comes the person, returns to the courtyard two young masters, gives me to look well, lets their one month, in three months do not come out.” 这句话就像福音一样,听在富商的耳朵里,他立刻惊醒了,说:“我知道三哥,我现在巴不得再送他们5200银票呢。来人啊,把两个少爷送回院子,给我好好看着,让他们一个月,不三个月内不要出来。” „No, first do not lock in the courtyard.” Zhao Third Brother has prevented rich merchant's order. „Two do not wipe the medicine to him, this, is swelling the face, should better get several doltishes again, letting them to walk normally, tomorrow will also make in his two restaurant and other places eat meal to drink, you make the person pass on a message again, said that two people sexually harass the country girl, had been taught by you maliciously.” “别,先别锁在院子里。”赵三哥阻止了富商的命令。“不要给他两个抹伤药,就这样,肿着脸,最好再打上几大板,让他们不能正常走路,明天还让他两个上酒楼等地方吃饭喝酒,你再让人传言出去,就说两人调戏村姑,被你狠狠地教训了一顿。” The rich merchants listened to the great happiness, turned upwards thumb saying: „Third Brother, great idea. Comes the person, gives me to get ten doltishes these two bastards maliciously.” 富商听了大喜,翘起拇指说:“三哥,好主意。来人,给我把这两个畜生狠狠地打上十大板。” The pitiful two short and stout people, do not understand why comes under attack the great idea, when has to shout loud forgives, at heart maliciously scolds this cheap three uncle. 可怜两个矮胖子,不明白为什么挨打还是好主意,只好在高声喊饶命时,心里狠狠地骂这个便宜的三伯。 Zhao Third Brother completes these matters, turned around to say to Zhao Quansheng: Good that very „total victory, this matter you process, I am extremely satisfied. Turns head I in front of Faction Master the kind words to you.” 赵三哥做完这些事情,转身对赵全胜说:“全胜啊,这件事情你处理的很好,我极其满意。回头我会在帮主面前给你美言的。” Zhao Quansheng one hear, in heart great happiness: „This is also not, after the total victory that Hallmaster your ordinary day taught hoped the saddle lead horse, was the Hallmaster potency.” 赵全胜一听,心中大喜:“这还不都是堂主您平日里教导的好吗,全胜愿鞍前马后为堂主效力。” The rich merchants also said: „Total victory, has been lucky you today, I must well thank you, comes the person, comes with 1200 paper money to me.” 富商也说:“全胜啊,今天多亏了你,我得好好的谢谢你,来人啊,给我拿1200的银票过来。” Zhao Quansheng said: „Does not need to be polite, exits to protect the young master.” 赵全胜说:“不必客气,出去本来就应该保护好少爷的。” Zhao Hallmaster said: „You are taking, this is you earns. If no you, this matter is 12,000 cannot stop.” 赵堂主说:“你拿着吧,这是你应得的。如果没有你,这件事就是12000都打不住的。” Zhao Quansheng then polite received the light several paper money, holds in the bosom. 赵全胜这才客气的接过薄薄的几张银票,揣在怀里。 At this time, Zhao Hallmaster also said: „Total victory, you quickly have the Present Lu Town news to inform Faction Master some Misty Faction people, does not know why they at this time Lu Town was the matter?” 这时,赵堂主又说:“全胜啊,你赶快把缥缈派有人出现在鲁镇的消息通知帮主,也不知道他们这时候来鲁镇是为什么事情啊？” After Zhao Quansheng complies, immediately says good-bye from the rich business, before long, leaves in a Present remote yard, enters a hut, after a while, the window of hut opens, a carrier pigeon flew from inside, from the sky circled, has identified the direction, toward some place, spreads the wings to fly. 赵全胜答应后,立刻从富商家辞别而出,不一会儿,出现在一个偏僻的小院中,走进一间小屋,又过了一会儿,小屋的窗子打开,一只信鸽从里面飞了出来,在空中盘旋了一下,辨认了方向,朝某个地方,展翅飞去。 The pigeon flies quickly, may also fly the weather already quickly black, before arriving at a very covert village. The pigeon from the sky circled, falls toward the east side of village directly. This is a very big manor, the surrounding fence but is actually not very high, in fence scattered is found in many houses, the forms of these houses are consistent, does not have the too high construction, the Gray wall and Gray roof. The house that the pigeon drops is in a room courtyards, after the pigeon falls, again cannot distinguish clearly is which house. 鸽子飞得很快,可也飞到天色已经快黑,才到了一个很隐蔽的村子前。鸽子在空中盘旋了一下,径直往村子的东面落下。这是一个很大的庄园,周围的围墙倒也不是很高,围墙里错落的遍布不少的房子,这些房子的格式都是一致的,没有太高的建筑,灰色的墙和灰色的房顶。鸽子落下的房子是院子中间的一间屋子,鸽子落下之后,就再也分不清是哪间房子了。 The pigeon falls on the window of this hut, „cluck” was calling, the man who installed walked from the inside room, arrived at the window quickly, the pigeon sees this man, „cluck” flew on this person of arm, back and forth was walking, this man took out an acorn tube from the foot of pigeon, then has touched the back of pigeon with the hand, and put out food from the bosom, scattered on window nearby table, the pigeon saw, spread the wings to fly, the cheerful pecking ate. The man is taking the acorn tube, left the room quickly. 鸽子落在这个小屋的窗台上,“咕咕”的叫着,一个劲装的男子从里屋走出来,快步来到窗台,鸽子见到这个男子,“咕咕”地飞到这人的胳膊上,来回走着,这男子从鸽子的脚上取出一个小管,然后用手抚摸了鸽子的背,并从怀里拿出一把食物,撒在窗台旁边的桌子上,鸽子看见了,展翅飞了过去,欢快的啄吃起来。那男子拿着小管,快步离开了屋子。 The men go out of the room, across several corridors, before arriving at the manor midpoint a slightly big point room, careful knocking on a door, inside transmits a hoarse and dignified 's sound sound: „Comes.” 男子走出屋子,穿过几个走廊,来到庄园正中央的一个稍微大点的屋子前,小心的敲了敲门,里面传来一个沙哑、威严的声音:“进来。” The man careful shoving open gate, enters in the room, the window in room is opens, the oil lamp has not lit, before a thin person's shadow station window, joins hands behind the back, is waiting and seeing to outside. After the men salute, said respectfully: „Situ Hallmaster, Liu Hallmaster has the news to transmit.” 男子小心的推开门,走进屋里,屋里的窗户是打开的,油灯没有点燃,一个消瘦的人影站窗前,背着手,在向外边观望。男子施礼后,恭敬的说:“司徒堂主,刘堂主有消息传来。” That person's shadow „well” one sound said: „Will big new year's celebration, what news have to with the carrier pigeon transmit? Lights the lamps quickly.” 那人影“咦”了一声说:“大过年的,会有什么消息要用信鸽传来？快掌灯。” When to the man oil lamp, that Situ Hallmaster has turned around. The men offer the acorn tube, Situ Hallmaster receives, puts out inside paper, collected has come up in the oil lamp, on the thin face, a brow wrinkle, the mouth was mumbling: „...... How do they come to this remote place?” Then, collected the paper on the lamp flame burns down. Looked at a that man, said: „You go.” 待到男子把油灯点上,那个司徒堂主才转过身来。男子把小管奉上,司徒堂主接过来,拿出里面的纸条,凑在油灯上来了一下,消瘦的脸上,眉头不禁一皱,嘴里嘟囔着:“……他们怎么来这个穷乡僻壤？”然后,把纸条凑在灯焰上烧掉了。看了一眼那个男子,说:“你去吧。” The men salute to draw back quietly, leaves behind Situ Hallmaster to sit alone in the swing of lamp flame. 男子施礼悄然退下,留下司徒堂主在灯焰的摇摆中独坐。 Situ Hallmaster knows that this news must be known by own Faction Master, but, he actually does not know where informs Faction Master, because, yesterday evening, Faction Master told him, today has the important matter to manage, in the morning looked for Faction Master time, could not find the Faction Master form. 司徒堂主知道这个消息必须让自己的帮主知道,可是,他却不知道到哪里通知帮主,因为,早在昨天晚上,帮主就告诉他,今天有重要的事情去办,早上找帮主的时候,就找不到帮主的身影了。 When Situ Hallmaster guessed Faction Master Situ Ping trend, his always strives to excel, older female cousin who the woman's head covering is competent, at this time rides a horse, is following submissive in behind of Silk Garments young person, in a low voice said to this young person: „Young Master Ma, this is our Lu Town highest mountain peak, called stone Mortal Peak. Because on the mountain has a stone likely is the person, acquires fame, our hemiprism fragrant Time can walk into the mountain again at high speed. However, which place Young Master must go to I not to know, therefore does not have the means to tell your accurate Time.” 就在司徒堂主猜测帮主司徒平动向的时候,他那一向好强,巾帼不让须眉的堂姐,这时候骑着马,正低眉顺眼地跟在一个锦衣年轻人的后面,低声的向这个年轻人讲:“马公子,这是我们鲁镇最高的山峰,叫石人峰。因为山上有个石头像是人,才得名,我们再快马加鞭半柱香的时间就能进山了。不过,公子要去哪个地方我不晓得,所以没办法告诉您准确的时间。” Young Master Ma turned head, swings the horsewhip, warm/temperature sound was saying: „ Faction Master Situ, does not need to be so cautious, king Village Master recommends to work as the guide you, I have not worked as the bystander you, will get through this matter surely to give you to reward. Where makes concrete, waits to walk into the mountain I to tell you again. „ 马公子回头,摇着马鞭,温声说:“司徒帮主,不必这么拘谨,王庄主把你推荐过来当向导,我就没把你当外人,办完这件事一定会给你奖赏的。具体到什么地方,等进了山我再告诉你。“ Situ Ping looks at Young Master Ma mild such as the face and pretty frown of jade, lowered the head said continually did not dare. She knows, person who this Young Master Ma has the background greatly, oneself showed off the stance of woman before Wu sword hit king Hong before, perhaps is useful, regarding this Young Master Ma, first time meets, moreover line tepid, where do oneself dare to put out that set of woman? Arranges the spirit, is careful and that's the end. 司徒平看着马公子温润如玉的脸庞和俊秀的双眉,低头连说不敢。她自己知道,这个马公子是大有来头的人,自己以前在吴剑庄的王洪面前卖弄一下女人的姿态,或许有用,对于这个马公子,也是头次见面,而且一路行来不温不火,自己哪敢拿出女人的那一套？只是打点精神,小心谨慎就是了。 So, two people urge on a horse the vanguard in the twilight. 如此,两人在暮色中驱马前行。 In mountain peak another side, Wen Wenhai and Junior Sister same rushes to mountain peak at high speed. 在山峰的另外一侧,温文海和师妹同样的快马加鞭奔向山峰。 Was seeing with own eyes mountain peak was near, Wen Wenhai tightened the reins to slow down horse speed slowly, turned head to say to Junior Sister: „Junior Sister, arrived in the mountain shortly, I thought that we started to eat a thing first, rested, raised the spirit to walk into the mountain fully again, was good to deal with a while the aspect, perhaps also had a tough battle.” 眼见着山峰近了,温文海慢慢收紧缰绳放慢了马速,回头对师妹说:“师妹啊,眼看就到山里了,我看咱们开始先吃点东西,休息一下,养足了精神再进山,好应付一会儿的局面,说不定还有一场硬仗呢。” Junior Sister nods complies, two people discontinue the rest, puts out along the dry rations of belt, has eaten. When they finished eating, drank water, the opens the mouth that Junior Sister somewhat was worried about asked: „Senior Brother, you said that this duty is so vital, the Master does not come personally, should make Sect Leader Eldest Senior Brother come again badly, why to send our two to come? How does not clarify the Master to think.” 师妹点头答应,二人就下马休息,拿出随身带的干粮,吃了起来。等他们吃完,喝了一点水,师妹不禁有些担心的开口问:“师兄,你说这次任务这么重要,师傅怎么不亲自前来啊,再不济也应该让掌门大师兄过来,干嘛派咱们两个过来？真闹不清师傅是怎么想的。” Wen Wenhai drank water, looked at all around, said in a low voice: „Junior Sister, the Master such arranges to have his idea, before embarking, has exhorted with me actually beforehand, for does not bring to the attention of other Sect, this duty comes respectively sends Second Generation Disciple, does not reveal the mountain non- dew . Moreover, will have an elder to manage to us, concrete when the time comes knew, we only listen to the arrangement of elder and that's the end. In any case this is a cushy job, will not have the accident/surprise to be able successfully to complete, goes back the Master to have the generous recompense.” 温文海又喝了口水,看了看四周,低声说:“师妹啊,师傅这么安排自有他老人家的想法,出发之前,倒是事先跟我嘱咐过,为了不引起其他门派的注意,这次任务来的都是各派二代弟子,不显山不露水,而且,会有一个长辈给我们主持,具体的到时候就知道了,我们只听长辈的安排就是了。反正这是个肥差,不出意外能圆满完成,回去师傅会有重赏的。” Junior Sister said: „I think place that this has not heard, is the poor mountain remote place, dangerous mountain Eshui, this walks, unexpectedly has the beautiful scenery flavor/smell, although this mountain has not entered, felt that but actually also lofty, did not know that what is, what a pity, in the evening anything could not appreciate, otherwise but actually not empty this trip.” 师妹说:“我本以为这个没听说的地方,就是个穷山僻壤,险山恶水,这一路走来,居然有山清水秀的味道,虽然这个山还没进,感觉倒也巍巍,不晓得里面是啥样子,可惜了,晚上什么都欣赏不到,否则倒也不虚此行。” The Wen Wenhai racket the forehead, „Junior Sister has this idea unexpectedly, Senior Brother does not compare, this is my martial arts was inferior that you do progress the rapid reason?” 温文海拍拍额头,“师妹居然有这种想法,师兄可是比不上的,难道这就是我武功不如你进步迅速的缘由？” Junior Sister did not reply, did not see clearly the veil following facial expression. Wen Wenhai also said: „Junior Sister, the weather late, you have taken the veil, here does not have any habitation.” 师妹并不答话,也看不清楚面纱下面的神情。温文海又说:“师妹,天色都晚了,你就把面纱拿下吧,这里也没什么人烟。” Junior Sister did not reply as before. 师妹依旧不答话。 Wen Wenhai becomes accustomed, said: „Was good, it seems like Time cannot miss, we leave, should be able in scheduled Time.” 温文海习以为常,自顾自的说:“好了,看来时间也差不到,我们动身吧,应该能在预定的时间到吧。” The words said that after Fierce Tiger Gang Faction Master Situ accompanies Silk Garments Young Master Ma to walk into the mountain, on the way speeds away, was seeing with own eyes before arriving at a mountain, Young Master Ma stopped the horse, under moves sideways, Situ Ping also discontinued. Young Master Ma said: „Faction Master Situ, where do you know Five Claw Peak?” 话说恶虎帮的司徒帮主陪同锦衣马公子进了山之后,顺路又疾驰一段,眼见着就到了一座山前,马公子停了马,闪身下地,司徒平也跟着下了马。马公子说:“司徒帮主,你知道五爪峰在什么地方吗？” Situ Ping said: „Naturally knows, Five Claw Peak is by stone Mortal Peak five small mountain peak, because of the shape monkey curving finger, therefore acquires fame likely. That piece does not have the road to go, the horses cannot pass, we can only climb from these mountains.” 司徒平说:“当然知道,五爪峰是石人峰旁边的五个小山峰,因为形状像猴子弯曲的手指,所以得名。那片没有路可去,马匹是不能过去的,我们只能从这些山中攀过去。” After Young Master Ma listened, showed a faint smile, loosened the reins of horse, that horse was selfish runs, searches hay, Situ Ping has also patted own horses, built the reins on horse, that horse also walked along with the Young Master Ma horse, it seems like it was used to it so. 马公子听了后,微微一笑,松开了马的缰绳,那马儿自顾自得就一路小跑,去寻觅干草了,司徒平也拍了拍自己的马匹,把缰绳搭在马的身上,那马也随着马公子的马走了,看来是习惯了如此。 Young Master Ma said: „Then before thank you for your trouble Faction Master Situ guided.” 马公子说:“那就有劳司徒帮主头前带路了。” Situ Ping is impolite, the arch cups one hand in the other across the chest, raises legs to display Lightweight Art to climb to mountain peak on. 司徒平也不客气,拱拱手,抬腿施展轻功向山峰攀登而上。 Situ Ping raised the Dantian air/Qi, rushed to two column fragrant Time, feeling gradually a little lacked in resonance, the successor felt weak, at this time she heard near the ear the Young Master Ma temperate 's sound sound: „Faction Master Situ, Present double-hour still too early, our Zi Ye / midnight rushes then, not, if we walk temporarily several steps, the slow slow energy, how you do look?” 司徒平提起丹田气,一口气奔出了两柱香的时间,渐渐的就感觉有点底气不足,后继乏力了,这时她听到耳边马公子温和的声音:“司徒帮主,现在时辰尚早,我们子夜赶到即可,不若咱们暂时走几步,缓一缓精力,你看如何？” Situ Ping is listening to this sound neither too fast nor too slow , does not have the appearance of asthma, does not need to turn head to know that Young Master Ma in the appearance that behind oneself strolls, the disciple of really non- false rumor secret feeling prestigious family, said the sound at heart: „many thanks Young Master is take pity on.” Stopped the footsteps, falls the track on mountain, slowly line. Young Master Ma catches up from behind, walks side-by-side with her, walks while asked: „Faction Master Situ, have you come this Five Claw Peak?” 司徒平听着这声音不疾不徐,丝毫没有气喘的样子,不用回头就知道马公子在自己背后闲庭信步的样子,心里暗暗感慨名门之徒果然不虚传啊,说了声:“多谢公子怜惜。”就停了脚步,落在山上的小道,缓缓而行。马公子从后面赶上,与她并肩而行,边走边问:“司徒帮主,请问你来过这个五爪峰吗？” Situ Ping said: „Has come, in the summer, in the mountain the climate is cool, we come here summer vacation frequently, the Five Claw Peak mountain spring is best, sometimes we pass the night there.” 司徒平说:“来过,夏天的时候,山里气候凉爽,我们经常来这里避暑的,五爪峰的山泉是最好的,我们有时在那里过夜的。” Young Master Ma has selected nods, then asked: „What strange place that does Five Claw Peak have?” 马公子点了点头,接着问:“那五爪峰有没有什么奇怪的地方？” The Situ Ping surprise said: „Has Young Master come to here? Knows that Five Claw Peak does have strange place?” 司徒平诧异的说:“公子来过这里？怎么知道五爪峰有奇怪的地方？” Young Master Ma said: „I, if has come, but also how thank you for your trouble Faction Master Situ guides.” 马公子笑着说:“我要是来过,还怎么有劳司徒帮主带路啊。” Situ Ping said embarrasedly: „Is astonished below for a while, Young Master no wonder. Mentioned this Five Claw Peak, the scenery with the stone Mortal Peak big difference, the spring water truly sweetly are less than other mountain peak. The strange place in Wu Ming / nameless finger/refers of that mountain peak, the mountain peak halfway up the mountainside has piece of Sour Jujube Forest, area big scary, that place rare person goes, nearby stone Mortal Peak in mountain person also few that on the mountain seeks a livelihood can arrive there, but according to having been to there mountain person, grove inside has to eat Wild Beast of person, once some people entered to inside pick the Chinese date, has not come out again, therefore few people have the guts there . Moreover the wild Chinese date is not the precious as gold thing, gradually on no longer ordinary person. The year before last I brought to help brother(s) come one time, to explore the way, put a shepherd to go, but did not see, we do not dare to penetrate, searched to go back in the surrounding.” 司徒平讪讪的说:“在下一时惊异,公子莫怪。说起这个五爪峰,景色跟石人峰没多大的不同,山泉水确实比其它山峰甘甜太多。奇怪的地方在无名指的那个山峰,山峰的半山腰有片酸枣林子,面积大的吓人,那个地方罕有人去,石人峰附近在山上讨生活的山民也没有几个能到那里的,不过据到过那里的山民说,林子里面有吃人的野兽,曾有人进到里面摘酸枣,再也没出来过,所以很少有人有胆量去那里,况且野酸枣也不是什么金贵的东西,久而久之就不再平常的人来了。前年我带着帮中的弟兄来过一次,为了探路,放了一条狼狗进去,不过也不见回来,我们就没敢深入,在外围探探就回去了。” Matter of Situ Ping to help/gang has not evaded Young Master Ma but actually, discussed leisurely, hearing Young Master Ma to be really satisfied, said: „Faction Master Situ can know that place is good, a while, but must be tired of the work you to lead us to go to there.” 司徒平对帮内的事情倒也没避讳马公子,款款而谈,听得马公子甚是满意,说:“司徒帮主能知道那个地方就好,一会儿,还要烦劳你带我们到那里去。” Situ Ping stares, „you? Young Master Ma, other people?” 司徒平一愣,“你们？马公子,还有其他的人吗？” Young Master Ma said: „Naturally also has other people, but, Present we go to Five Claw Peak First mountain peak first, there they. Faction Master Situ, if rests was similar, our starts off.” 马公子笑着说:“自然还有其他的人,不过,现在我们先去五爪峰的第一个山峰,在那里等他们。司徒帮主,如果歇的差不多了,咱们这就上路吧。” Situ Ping said: „Good, Young Master, please come along with me.” 司徒平说:“好的,公子,请随我来。”
