```````````````````````````````````
```````````````````````````````````
已是緊閉了雙眼。
等待生命臨終的那一刻，突然有種身輕如燕的感覺。
```````````````````````````````````
臉頰一陣清涼，像是刮過了一陣截然不同的風。
再睜開眼時，已是另一番光景。
背對著我的，是個光頭的和尚。他直麵石壁，仿佛在欣賞著這俊俏的山體，沉默的又像是在參悟著什麼天機。
月光下，他長長的影子鋪落在溪水裏，隨著流波，忽明忽暗。
許久------
“阿彌陀佛！！！”
```````````````````````````````````
是他！！
```````````````````````````````````
“施主既然住下了，已是答應與老衲講經一晚，怎麼能獨自出遊？”
問的我一愣！這個和尚，竟是有心留我？
````````````````````````````````````
“是你救了我？”
這才是我目前最關心的
。
到底是誰？在我性命攸關之時，伸出了援手？
````````````````````````````````````
“是我不忍心殺你！”
語氣緩和，透出濃濃的無奈。
````````````````````````````````````
“老衲三十二歲入寺，從戒律院執棍僧做起，到如今已有一十八年。入寺之前，江湖人皆懼我，世人皆欲除我而後快！無奈逃離至此，每日經書相伴，棍下懲戒的皆是罪惡之徒。”
“施主這次南下，可是為了什麼？”
````````````````````````````````````
這個和尚好生奇怪！一番言語，搞得我滿頭霧水。
“了結恩怨，生，退隱江湖，死，長已矣！”
說的放蕩，說的感傷。
````````````````````````````````````
“據我所知，少林乃名門正派，怎會有你這等盡是陰險的功夫？”
我禁不住反問。
打鬥中我已發現，這廝招招直逼要害，不守隻攻，尤見其內心狂妄狠辣！
“阿彌陀佛！你可知我入寺之前所為何人？”
語氣中略顯了一絲無助的得意，嘴角也掛起了苦笑。
``````````````````````````````````````
“敢問前輩、、、？”
他雖未年長我多少，但看在他手下留情的份上，姑且稱他為前輩。
“你可聽過江洋大盜周體乾？明，天啟七年？”
一時間，大腦又回到那個習武練劍的日子。
當年在武當，這個名字確實有所耳聞，人人聞之色變！
起事江浙，名震朝廷，是盡人皆知的江洋大盜！
可是皇榜昭示天下，崇禎元年，已將該人處死。卻不料原來是假話、、、
