轉過街角，一陣淡淡的武夷鐵羅漢茶香夾雜住劣質煤炭的刺鼻氣味飄過來。「端記茶樓」四個大字寫在一塊斑駁的木匾上，雖然舊，但比起街上其他掛滿「高登門」招牌的店舖，多了一份人情味。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv055YsM91

九叔公同波叔推開半掩的木門。茶樓內光線昏暗，只有三四枱客，全部都愁眉苦臉，枱面上連一碟點心都冇，淨係得幾杯沖到淡晒的青茶。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9RgITIEEz
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrzX9hHmIF
「兩位客官，隨便坐。」把聲從櫃檯後傳來。一個大約四十歲上下、著住素色旗袍但袖口有些磨損的老闆娘行出嚟。佢眼神銳利地掃過九叔公同波叔那身有些格格不入的「古代粗麻服飾」（其實係青竹石求其變出嚟的偽裝）。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5k76GwDCb
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyzNicDmql
「老闆娘，沖壺普洱，有冇叉燒包或者馬拉糕？」波叔一坐低，習慣性地用新界阿伯飲早茶的口吻落單。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nJCKmUDcZ
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO9ijEw8k6
老闆娘苦笑一聲，壓低聲線：「老人家，你哋真係外地嚟。高登門壟斷咗鎮上的麵粉同豬肉供應，話要優先供應畀『煉金軌道』的工程隊。我哋呢啲小茶樓，邊有叉燒包？得幾件用粗糧做嘅硬法糕，食唔食？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3dhZ5p6s
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfrwafgwVl
「硬法糕？好過冇啦。」九叔公點點頭，然後用指節輕輕敲咗敲木枱，看似隨意地問：「頭先經過街市，見啲菜乾卒卒咁。聽聞出面起緊咩『煉金列車』，搞到水土不服？」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCCbwTwjL7
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSud9c77TAq
此言一出，原本細聲傾偈的幾個茶客突然收聲，齊齊望向九叔公，眼神充滿戒備。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOJLgtVP4G
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsljHxLGuQ3
老闆娘臉色一變，快步走埋去，將一碟硬邦邦的糕點重重放喺枱面，低聲警告：「老人家，喺青馬鎮，『煉金列車』四個字唔好亂講。呢度到處都係高登門嘅眼線。你哋一把年紀，飲完茶好走啦。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwaZM4S28B
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXVnk60nXO
「走？我林銓喺新界種咗幾十年菜，見到好地地一塊靈田畀人搞成咁，點走得落？」九叔公冷哼一聲，右手輕輕一拂，一道極其微弱的翠綠色青竹真氣注入枱面上一盆快要枯死的吊蘭。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonHzY23aZJ
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpqW5h3t0y
只見那盆吊蘭彷彿久旱逢甘霖，瞬間煥發生機，原本枯黃的葉片肉眼可見地轉綠，甚至長出了新的嫩芽。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4oiAWtPDL
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aRvYHiAdb
老闆娘同周圍幾個茶客睇到眼都直埋。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6D1UhxApH
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfhR8uMy4J
「你……你識得木系法術？你唔係高登門啲煉金術士？！」老闆娘震驚地望住九叔公。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWyn4LL8yR
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ciTQElk1
就在呢個時候，茶樓外突然傳來一陣刺耳的金屬摩擦聲，伴隨著囂張的叫罵：「端記茶樓嘅人聽住！高登門『收地堂』辦事！限你哋一炷香之內交出地契，如果唔係，就當係阻礙大清摩登化，全部拉去起軌道做咕哩！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1pFPETdA5
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbzl33xh0k
「嘭！」茶樓的木門被人一腳踢開，幾個身穿高登門制服、手持裝有齒輪機關刀的打手大搖大擺地行咗入嚟。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb5iZGnSrW
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4ueISKFKr
波叔嘆咗口氣，慢慢企起身，骨節發出「啪啪」聲：「銓叔，睇嚟我哋連啖茶都未飲得切，又要開工喇。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy1gmH3OEH
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLC4NLgnGq
九叔公連眼都冇抬，淨係淡淡定定咁咬咗一口塊硬法糕：「阿波，呢舊嘢真係好硬，當磚頭掟死人都得。等陣留返畀班友仔食。」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8nDNy2PUW
帶頭的打手見兩個老嘢竟敢無視自己，舉起高速旋轉的機關刀就劈過來：「老嘢，敬酒唔飲飲罰酒！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77iFvdiEj0
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fJeB5OnWe
就在機關刀即將劈落的瞬間，九叔公眼神一凜。他放下茶杯，右手並攏如刀，掌心猛然爆發出濃烈的翠綠罡氣。罡氣沒有化作堅硬的盾牌，反而像一條充滿生命力的青竹藤蔓，順著他的手臂盤旋而上。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPxAeVeRCD
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdUoo80ZXr
「青竹蛇手！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbxdjf8StH
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkBpFDg1Ik
九叔公低喝一聲，手臂以一個不可思議的角度彎曲、彈射！那姿態，宛如他在新界搭棚時，用力將竹篾甩過棚架的動作；又如田野間隱蔽的青竹蛇，靜如處子，動如脫兔。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7RAOPvc4w
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoUGCvg3PY
「咻——啪！」92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe3tcL9ho6
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvOsIQK8qK
覆蓋著翠綠罡氣的右手，精準無比地鑽過機關刀的防禦死角，兩根手指如同靈蛇吐信，硬生生插進了打手刀柄的齒輪縫隙中。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsqlH6Wypc
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmNuGUcMAV
「卡啦——嘎吱——」令人牙酸的金屬摩擦聲響起。原本囂張旋轉的機關刀，竟然被這股看似柔弱實則堅韌無比的「竹氣」瞬間卡死，冒出一陣黑煙。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b1mRAjZFU
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQihwNofDgc
打手還沒反應過來，九叔公的手腕已經像靈蛇般順勢一纏，扣住了對方的手腕關節，輕輕一帶、一抖。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJInCh8pJ76
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXBQcvCkrk
「哎呀！」打手慘叫一聲，整條手臂脫臼，機關刀重重跌落在地。92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QiNY9UYPH
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLXRgfJLA5
九叔公拍了拍手上的糕點碎屑，看著目瞪口呆的打手們，語氣依然像個慈祥的農夫：「後生仔，機器嘅嘢我唔識，但講到點樣鎖死啲關節位，我紮咗幾十年竹棚，點都熟過你哋啦。」
