“若不是阿青挡住了它，这白猿要刺死我当真是不费吹灰之力。”
第二天早晨，在越王的剑室之中，阿青手持一根竹棒，面对着越国二十名第一流剑手。范蠡知道阿青不会教人如何使剑，只有让越国剑士模仿她的剑法。
但没一个越国剑士能当到她的三招。
阿清竹棒一动，对手若不是手腕被戳，长剑脱手，便是要害中棒，委顿在地。
第二天，三十名剑士败在她的棒下。第三天，又是三十名剑士在她一根短竹棒下腕折臂断，狼狈败退。
到第四天上，范蠡再要找她去会斗越国剑士时，阿青已失了踪影，寻到她的家里，只余下一间空屋，十几头山羊。范蠡派遣数百名部署在会稽城内城外，荒山野岭中去找寻，在也觅不到这个小姑娘的踪迹。
八十名越国剑士没学到阿青的一招剑法，但他们已亲眼见到了神剑的影子。每个人都知道了，世间确有这样神奇的剑法。八十个人将一丝一忽勉强捉摸到的剑法影子传授给了旁人，单是这一丝一忽的神剑影子，越国吴士的剑法便已无敌于天下。
范蠡命薛烛督率良工，铸成了千千万万口利剑。
三年之后，勾践兴兵伐吴，战于五湖之畔。越军五千人持长剑面前，吴兵逆击。两军交锋，越兵长剑闪烁，吴兵当者披靡，吴师大败。
吴王夫差退到余杭山。越兵追击，二次大战，吴病始终挡不住越兵的快剑。夫差兵败自杀。越军攻入吴国的都城姑苏。
范蠡亲领长剑手一千，直冲到吴王的馆娃宫。那是西施所住的地方。他带了几名卫士，奔进宫去，叫道：“夷光，夷光！”
他奔过一道长廊，脚步成发出清朗的回声，长廊下面是空的。西施脚步轻盈，每一步都像是弹琴鼓瑟那样，有美妙的音乐节拍。夫差建了这道长廊，好听她奏着音乐般的脚步声。
在长廊彼端，音乐般的脚步声响了起来，像欢乐的锦瑟，像清和的瑶琴，一个轻柔的声音在说：“少伯，真的是你么？”
范蠡胸口热血上涌，说道：“是我，是我！我来接你了。”他听得自己的声音嘶嘎，好像是别人在说话，好像是很远很远的声音。他踉貂跄跄的奔过去。
长廊上乐声繁音促节，一个柔软的身子扑入了他怀里。
春夜溶溶。花香从园中透过帘子，飘进馆娃宫。范蠡和西施在倾诉着别来得相思。
忽然间寂静之中传来了几声咩咩的羊叫。
范蠡微笑道：“你还是忘不了故乡的风光，在宫室之中也养了山羊吗？”
西施笑着摇了摇头，她有些奇怪，怎么会有羊叫？然而在心爱之人的面前，除了温柔的爱念，任何其他的念头都不会在心中停留长久。她慢伸手出去，握住了范蠡的左手。炽热的血同时在两人脉管中迅速流动。
突然间，一个女子声音在静夜中响起：“范蠡！你叫你的西施出来，我要杀了她！”
范蠡陡地站起身来。西施感到他的手掌忽然间变得冰冷。范蠡认得这是阿青的声音。她的呼声越过馆娃宫的高墙，飘了进来。
“范蠡，范蠡，我要杀你的西施，她逃不了的。我一定要杀你的西施。”
范蠡又是惊恐，又是迷惑：“她为甚么要杀夷光？夷光可从来没得罪过她！”蓦地立心中一亮，霎时之间都明白了：“她并不真是个不懂事的乡下姑娘，她一直在喜欢我。”
迷惘已去，惊恐更甚。
范蠡一生临大事，决大疑，不知经历过多少风险，当年在会稽山被吴军围困，粮尽援绝之时，也不及此刻的惧怕。西施感到他手掌中湿腻腻的都是冷汗，觉到他的手掌在发抖。
如果阿青要杀的是他自己，范蠡不会害怕的，然而她要杀的是西施。
“范蠡，范蠡！我要杀了你的西施，她逃不了的！”
阿青的声音忽东忽西，在宫墙外传进来。
范蠡定了定神，说道：“我要去见见这人。”轻轻放脱了西施的手，快步向宫门走去。
十八名卫士跟随在他身后。阿青的呼声人人都听见了，耳听得她在宫外直呼破吴英雄范大夫之名，大家都感到十分诧异。
范蠡走到宫门之外，月光铺地，一眼望去，不见有人，朗声说道：“阿青姑娘，请你过来，我有话说。”四下里寂静无声。范蠡又道：“阿青姑娘，多时不见，你可好么？”可是仍然不闻回答。范蠡等了良久，始终不见阿青现身。
他低声吩咐卫士，立即调来一千名甲士、一千名剑士，在馆娃宫前后守卫。
他回到西施面前，坐了下来，握住她的双手，一句话也不说。从宫外回到西施身畔，他心中已转过了无数念头：“令一个宫女假装夷光，让阿青杀了她？我和夷光化装成为越国甲士，逃出吴宫，从此隐姓埋名？阿青来时，我在她面前自杀，求她饶了夷光？调二千名弓箭手守住宫门，阿青若是硬闯，那便万剑齐发，射死了她？”但每一个计策都有破绽。阿青于越国有大功，也不忍将她杀死，他怔怔的瞧着西施，心头忽然感到一阵温暖：“我二人就这样一起死了，那也好得很。我二人在临死之前，终于是聚在一起了。”
时光缓缓流过。西施觉到范蠡的手掌温暖了。他不再害怕，脸上露出了笑容。
破晓的日光从窗中照射进来。
蓦地里宫门外响起了一阵吆喝声，跟着呛啷郎、呛啷朗响声不绝，那是兵刃落地之声。这声音从宫门外直响进来，便如一条极长的长蛇，飞快的游来，长廊上也响起了兵刃落地的声音。一千名甲士和一千名剑士阻挡不了阿青。
只听得阿青叫道：“范蠡，你在哪里？”
范蠡向西施瞧了一眼，朗声道：“阿青，我在这里。”
“里”字的声音甫绝，嗤的一声响，门帷从中裂开，一个绿衫人飞了进来，正是阿青。她右手竹棒的尖端指住了西施的心口。
她凝视着西施的容光，阿青脸上的杀气渐渐消失，变成了失望和沮丧，再变成了惊奇、羡慕，变成了崇敬，喃喃的说：“天……天下竟有着……这样的美女！范蠡，她……她比你说的还……还要美！”纤腰扭处，一声清啸，已然破窗而出。
清啸迅捷之极的远去，渐远渐轻，余音袅袅，良久不绝。
数十名卫士疾步奔到门外。卫士长躬身道：“大夫无恙？”范蠡摆了摆手，众卫士退了下去。范蠡握着西施的手，道：“咱们换上庶民的衣衫，我和你到太湖划船去，再也不回来了。”
西施眼中闪出无比快乐的光芒，忽然之间，微微蹙起了眉头，伸手捧着心口。阿青这一棒虽然没戳中她，但棒端发出的劲气已刺伤了她心口。
两千年来人们都知道，“西子捧心”是人间最美丽的形象。“完”

This is the only short story wrote by Jin Yong。 Because of its short length， you can“t really see Jin Yong”s full talent at storytelling。 However， this translation can give you some idea of what a。 martial arts story is like。 My clumsy translation can“t really do the original justice， but Ihope Ihave stirred your interest enough that you will go out there and find out more about Chinese culture， history and legend。 The process of finding out will not be easy， but Iassure you， what you will find will never be dull。 Background：This story is based on real historical events that occurred during the 5th century B。C。 It ”s a。 period between what“s known as the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring Kingdoms period。 China was yet to be united under the First Emperor。 The socalled Han race didn”t exist yet。 China was divided into big and small kingdoms， dukedoms and counties which warred with each other constantly。 It all started when the king of Chuh slept with his son“s fiancee。 Bad move， for any era。 The king now feared that his son will turn against him。 The fear was fanned into action by the allegations of an ambitious minister who wanted to destroy the crown prince”s faction。 The resulting purge destroyed many clans and families。 One of the family， almost peripheral to the whole thing， was the House of Wu。 The youngest son， Wu TzuShi， escaped and vowed bloody vengeance。 After a。 long and dangerous journey through several kingdoms unwilling to help， he arrived at the newly founded kingdom of Wu （No， the Chinese characters for the Wu in Wu TzuShi is actually different from the character Wu in the Wu kingdom）。 He helped Prince Ho Lu to assassinate his cousin the king in a。 convoluted power struggle。 Then he built up the kingdom of Wu from a。 barely civilized kingdom to a。 modern kingdom with the best trained army in the known world。 Sun Tzu， who wrote the immortal Art of War， served in Wu at this time。 When Wu TzuShi was ready， he managed to convince King Ho Lu to invade Chuh。 At the time Chuh was a。 superpower and Wu was an upstart kingdom， but the upstart kingdom managed to destroy Chuh“s army utterly。 Unfortunately， Wu Tzushi”s vengeance was hollow。 The object of his vengeance had already died several years ago。 In his rage， Wu TzuShi exhumed the body of the dead king and flogged it until it fell to pieces。 The kingdom of Wu proved itself incapable of absorbing the far larger kingdom of Chuh， so Wu TzuShi had to take his army back to Wu。 Then， Ho Lu began a。 series of wars to establish hegemony over the rest of China。 It“s in one of those wars when he ran into the kingdom of Yueh。 The Yueh people was then even more primitive then Wu was a。 few decades ago， but they were great fighters。 They were ruled by King Kou Chiang。 In a。 pitch battle， King Ho Lu was struck by a。 poison arrow and died。 Ho Lu”s son Fu Chai became king。 He was intent on avenging his father。 Apersonal guard was ordered to remind him of this fact periodically by saying “Fu Chai， did you forget to avenge the death of your father？” Fu Chai then rallied his army and destroyed the army of Yueh。 King Kou Chiang became a。 prisoner of Fu Chai for several years。 However， Fu Chai was not abrutal man。 Instead of annexing the kingdom of Yueh and turning Kou Chiang into a。 slave， he released Kou Chiang after extracting an oath of fealty from the king of Yueh。 Unfortunately， that gesture of mercy was pletely lost on King Kou Chiang。 Kou Chiang， like Wu TzuShi and Fu Chai before him， was possessed by the burning desire to avenge the wrongs done him。 Kou Chiang hired two wise men from the kingdom of Chuh。 One of them was Feng Li， the other was Wen Chung。 The two began to build up the barbaric kingdom of Yueh so one day their king could challenge the power of Wu。 Many legends are associated with this period of history。 One of the legends was the legend of the Yueh Maiden。 Story：“After you。”The two swordmen turned the point of their blades downward。 Their right palm holding the sword hilt， their left palm covered their right palm， then they bowed deeply to each other in a。 warrior“s salute。 Even before the two straightened， a。 sudden flash of white， then the sound of clanging。 The two swordmen each retreated one step。 The audience gave out a。 soft cry。 The swordman in blue cut three times。 The liveried swordman blocked each cut。 The swordman in blue shouted and slashed his sword from the upper left co
