瘟癀伞盖属邪巫,疫疠阎浮尽若屠;
列阵凶顽非易破,着人狂燥岂能苏。
须臾偏染家家尽,顷刻传尸户户殂;
只为了牙灾未满,穿云关下受崎岖。
话说(shuo)哪(na)(na)(na)吒上(shang)了风火轮(lun)(lun),前(qian)来关(guan)下搦战,大(da)呼(hu)曰(yue):"左(zuo)右(you)的传与(yu)你主将,叫龙(long)安(an)吉(ji)出来见我。"徐芳闻报令:"龙(long)安(an)吉(ji)出阵。"龙(long)安(an)吉(ji)领(ling)命,出得(de)关(guan)来,见哪(na)(na)(na)吒在风火轮(lun)(lun)上(shang),心下暗思:此人乃是道(dao)术之(zhi)(zhi)士,不如先祭此宝,易(yi)於成功。龙(long)安(an)吉(ji)至军前(qian)问(wen)曰(yue):"来者(zhe)可是哪(na)(na)(na)吒麽?"道(dao)罢,哪(na)(na)(na)吒未及答(da)应(ying),就是一枪,哪(na)(na)(na)吒的枪赴面相迎,轮(lun)(lun)马交还只一合,龙(long)安(an)吉(ji)就祭四肢酥(su),丢在空中,大(da)叫哪(na)(na)(na)吒看我宝贝,哪(na)(na)(na)吒抬(tai)头看时,只见阴阳扣就如太(tai)极环(huan)一般,有叮当之(zhi)(zhi)声,龙(long)安(an)吉(ji)不知哪(na)(na)(na)吒是莲(lian)花化身,原(yuan)无魂魄,焉能落(luo)下轮(lun)(lun)来。忽然此圈落(luo)在地(di)下,哪(na)(na)(na)吒见圈落(luo)下,不知其故(gu),龙(long)安(an)吉(ji)大(da)惊。正是:
鞍鞒慌(huang)坏龙安吉(ji),岂意(yi)哪吒法宝来。

"杀气迷空透九重,一干神圣逞英雄;
这(zhei)场大战惊大地,海沸江翻势更凶(xiong)。"

话说吕岳不(bu)听李平之劝,差(cha)官下书(shu),知会姜尚来破此阵;使命(ming)赍(ji)战(zhan)书(shu)至子(zi)牙(ya)行营。来至辕门,左右报入中军,子(zi)牙(ya)命(ming):"令来。"使人至中军朝上见体毕,呈上战(zhan)书(shu),子(zi)牙(ya)拆开展玩(wan)。书(shu)曰(yue):
"九龙岛炼(lian)气(qi)士吕岳,致书於西(xi)岐元帅姜子(zi)牙(ya)麾下:窃闻(wen)物(wu)极必(bi)反,逆天必(bi)罚;尔西(xi)岐不(bu)守臣节,以(yi)臣伐君,以(yi)下凌(ling)上(shang),有(you)干纲(gang)常,得罪(zui)天地。况且(qie)以(yi)党恶之众,屡抗敌於天兵(bing);仗阐(chan)教之术,复屠城(cheng)而杀(sha)将。恶已贯盈(ying),入神愤怒;故上(shang)天厌恶,特(te)假手於吾,设此瘟癀阵,今(jin)差使致书,早(zao)(zao)早(zao)(zao)批宣,以(yi)决胜负(fu)。如自(zi)揣不(bu)德(de),急早(zao)(zao)倒戈,尚(shang)待(dai)尔不(bu)死。战书至日,速乞自(zi)裁。"

杀(sha)气漫空,悲(bei)风四(si)起,杀(sha)气漫空,黑暗暗俱是些鬼哭神(shen)嚎;悲(bei)风四(si)起,昏沈(shen)沈(shen)尽是那雷轰电掣。透心寒,怎禁他(ta)冷(leng)气侵人;解骨酥,难当阴(yin)风扑面。远(yuan)观是飞砂(sha)走石,近看如雾卷云(yun)腾;瘟(wen)癀气阵阵飞来,水火扇翩翩乱举。瘟(wen)癀阵内神(shen)仙怕,正应姜公百日灾。
话说子牙(ya)(ya)至(zhi)阵(zhen)(zhen)前曰:"吕岳(yue)你今设(she)此(ci)(ci)毒(du)阵(zhen)(zhen),与你定决(jue)雌(ci)雄;只怕你祸至(zhi)难逃(tao),悔(hui)之晚(wan)矣!"吕岳(yue)忙(mang)催开金眼驼,仗枪飞来(lai)直取,子牙(ya)(ya)手中剑(jian)急(ji)架忙(mang)迎,二人战(zhan)未及(ji)数(shu)合(he),吕岳(yue)掩一剑(jian)迳入(ru)阵(zhen)(zhen)去了。子牙(ya)(ya)催开四(si)不象,随後赶进阵(zhen)(zhen)来(lai);吕岳(yue)上了八卦台(tai),将一把瘟癀伞往下(xia)(xia)一盖,昏昏黑黑,如红沙(sha)黑雾罩将下(xia)(xia)来(lai),势不可当。子牙(ya)(ya)一手执(zhi)定杏黄(huang)旗,架往此(ci)(ci)伞。可怜(lian)正是(shi):
七死三灾扶帝业,万年千载竟留芳。
话(hua)说(shuo)吕岳(yue)(yue)将子牙因(yin)於阵中(zhong)(zhong),复出阵前(qian)大呼曰(yue):"姜尚已绝(jue)於我阵,叫姬(ji)发早早受死。"武王在(zai)辕(yuan)门闻(wen)吕岳(yue)(yue)之言,慌问云中(zhong)(zhong)子曰(yue):"老(lao)师!相父(fu)若(ruo)果绝(jue)於阵中(zhong)(zhong),真痛杀(sha)孤家(jia)也。"云中(zhong)(zhong)子曰(yue):"不(bu)妨(fang),此是吕岳(yue)(yue)谬言,子牙有百日之灾(zai)。"只见(jian)後(hou)边(bian)哪吒、杨戬(jian)、金、木二(er)吒、李靖、韦护、雷震子一(yi)齐大呼:"拿这妖(yao)道,碎尸万段,以雪我等(deng)之恨!"吕岳(yue)(yue)、陈(chen)庚二(er)人向前(qian)迎(ying)敌,大战在(zai)一(yi)处,只杀(sha)的阴(yin)风(feng)飒飒,冷(leng)云迷空。怎(zen)见(jian)得?

指望成功扶帝业,中途自有异人来(lai)。
且说方义(yi)真(zhen)(zhen)押解四(si)(si)将往(wang)潼关(guan)来,算只有(you)八十里(li),不(bu)一日就到,按不(bu)下表。话说青峰山(shan)紫阳洞清虚道(dao)德真(zhen)(zhen)君,闲暇无(wu)事(shi),往(wang)桃园中(zhong)来,见杨任在旁,真(zhen)(zhen)君曰(yue):"今日正该你去穿(chuan)云关(guan),以解子牙瘟(wen)癀阵之(zhi)(zhi)厄,并释四(si)(si)将之(zhi)(zhi)愆。"杨任曰(yue):"老师!弟子乃(nai)文臣出身,非是兵戈之(zhi)(zhi)客。"真(zhen)(zhen)君笑(xiao)曰(yue):"这有(you)何难?学之(zhi)(zhi)自(zi)然得会(hui),不(bu)学虽会(hui)亦疏。"真(zhen)(zhen)君随入後洞,取出一根枪,名曰(yue):"飞雷枪",在桃园传与杨任。有(you)歌为(wei)证:
"君不见此(ci)枪名(ming)号为飞雷(lei),穿心透(tou)骨不寻常(chang);刺虎降(jiang)龙真可羡(xian),先(xian)天铅汞配雌雄。炼(lian)就坎(kan)离相眷恋,也能(neng)飞,也能(neng)战;变化无穷随意(yi)见。今日与你破瘟(wen)癀,吕岳逢(feng)之鲜血溅。"
话说杨(yang)任(ren)乃是(shi)封神(shen)(shen)(shen)榜上(shang)之神(shen)(shen)(shen),自然聪明,一(yi)见真君传授,须(xu)臾即会。真君曰:"我把云霞兽与你骑,还有(you)一(yi)把五火(huo)神(shen)(shen)(shen)焰扇,你带(dai)了(le)(le)下山。若进(jin)阵(zhen)中(zhong),须(xu)是(shi)如(ru)(ru)此如(ru)(ru)此,自然破他(ta)瘟癀阵(zhen),何(he)愁吕岳不灭也。还有(you)黄飞(fei)虎四将有(you)难在中(zhong)途,你先可救他(ta),在关(guan)内以为接应,破阵(zhen)後外夹攻,定然成功。"杨(yang)任(ren)拜辞(ci)师父下山,上(shang)了(le)(le)云霞兽,把顶上(shang)角拍(pai)了(le)(le)一(yi)拍(pai),那骑四蹄自然生(sheng)起(qi)云彩,望空中(zhong)飞(fei)来。正是(shi):
莫(mo)道(dao)此兽无好处(chu),曾赴蟠(pan)桃(tao)四(si)五(wu)番。
且说杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任霎时(shi)已至潼关,离城有(you)三十(shi)里之遥,只(zhi)见(jian)方义(yi)真解(jie)犯官(guan)(guan)官(guan)(guan)前进,旗上(shang)大(da)(da)书解(jie)岐周反将(jiang)(jiang)黄飞(fei)虎(hu)、 南宫 等名(ming)字。杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任落下(xia)兽(shou)来(lai),阻(zu)住去(qu)路,大(da)(da)呼(hu)曰(yue):"来(lai)将(jiang)(jiang)那(nei)去(qu)? "军(jun)士一(yi)见(jian)杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任生得(de)(de)古怪(guai)蹊跷,眼眶 生出(chu)(chu)两(liang)只(zhi)手(shou)来(lai),手(shou)心(xin)(xin)(xin) 又有(you)两(liang)只(zhi)眼睛,骑着(zhe)一(yi)匹神(shen)兽(shou),五绺长髯,飘扬脑後(hou),军(jun)士见(jian)之,无不骇(hai)然;飞(fei)报与方义(yi)真:"启上(shang)将(jiang)(jiang)军(jun)!前边来(lai)了(le)个古怪(guai)异人,阻(zu)住了(le)路。"方义(yi)真仗自己胸襟,把马一(yi)夹,走(zou)出(chu)(chu)车前,见(jian)杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任如(ru)此(ci)(ci)行(xing)状, 从来(lai)也不曾有(you)怎(zen)样的(de)相貌,心(xin)(xin)(xin)中也自惊;大(da)(da)呼(hu)曰(yue):"来(lai)者(zhe)何(he)人?"杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任是文官(guan)(guan)出(chu)(chu)身,言语(yu)自然轻雅,乃应曰(yue):"不须问我(wo),吾乃上(shang)大(da)(da)夫杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任是也。将(jiang)(jiang)军(jun)!天道(dao)已归(gui)明主(zhu),你(ni)又何(he)必(bi)逆天行(xing)事,自取(qu)灭亡也。"方义(yi)真曰(yue):"吾奉(feng)主(zhu)将(jiang)(jiang)命令(ling),押(ya)解(jie)周将(jiang)(jiang)往朝歌请功,你(ni)为何(he)阻(zu)住去(qu)路?"杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任曰(yue):"吾奉(feng)师命下(xia)山,来(lai)破瘟癀阵,今(jin)逢(feng)将(jiang)(jiang)军(jun)押(ya)解(jie)周将(jiang)(jiang),理(li)宜救护。我(wo)劝将(jiang)(jiang)军(jun)不若和我(wo)归(gui)了(le)武王,正所谓应天顺人,不失封侯(hou)之位,有(you)何(he)不可?"方义(yi)真见(jian)杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任低(di)言悄语(yu),不把杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任放在(zai)心(xin)(xin)(xin)上(shang),把手(shou)中枪一(yi)举,大(da)(da)喝曰(yue):"逆贼休(xiu)走(zou),吃我(wo)一(yi)枪!"杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任忙(mang)(mang)用(yong)(yong)手(shou)中枪急架相还,两(liang)家大(da)(da)战(zhan),未及数合,杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任恐(kong)军(jun)士伤(shang)了(le)被擒官(guan)(guan)将(jiang)(jiang)!忙(mang)(mang)用(yong)(yong)五火神(shen)焰扇(shan),照着(zhe)方义(yi)真一(yi)扇(shan)扇(shan)去(qu),不知杨(yang)(yang)(yang)(yang)任此(ci)(ci)扇(shan)利(li)害(hai),一(yi)声响,怎(zen)见(jian)得(de)(de)?有(you)诗为证:
"烈焰腾空万丈高,金蛇千道逞英豪:

话说杨任把扇子一扇,方义真连人带马,化一阵狂风去了。众军士见了,呐一声喊,抱头弃兵奔回进关。且说黄飞虎等见杨任这等相貌,知是异人,忙在陷车中问曰:"来者是那一位尊神?"杨任认得是黄飞虎,俱是一殿之臣,忙下了云霞兽,口称:"黄将军!我非别人,不才便是上大夫杨任。因纣王失败,起造鹿台,我等直谏,昏君将我剜去二目,多亏道德真君救我上山,将两粒仙丹放在目中,故此生出手中之眼耳。今特着我下山来破瘟癀阵,先救将军等,故效此微劳耳。"随放了四将,四将谢过了杨任,只是咬牙深恨。杨任曰:"四位将军且不必出关,且借住民家,待我破了瘟癀阵,那时率众出关,公等可作内应。只听炮声为号,不可有误。"黄、徐等感谢杨任,自投关内民家去了。且说杨任上了云霞兽,出穿云关,来至周营下了云霞兽,军政官见了大惊,杨任曰:"早报於武王,吾非反臣也。"报马报入中军:"有异人求见。"云中子知是杨任来了,忙传令:"请进中军。"诸将见了各自骇然,杨任见云中子下拜曰:"师叔在此,料吕岳何能为患。"云中子安慰谢毕,请起与众门人相见。杨任来见武王,武王大惊,问其原故。杨任把纣王剜目之事,又说了一遍。武王大喜,命治酒款待。杨任又将救了四将事表过:"吾师特命不才来破瘟癀阵耳。"云中子曰:"你来的正好,还差三日,正是百日之厄完满。"众门人见又添杨任,各有欢喜之色,不觉过了三日。次日清晨,周营炮响,大队齐出,一干周将与众门人并武王、云中子齐至辕门,看杨任破瘟癀阵。杨任至阵前大呼曰:"吕岳何不早来见我!"只见阵内吕岳道人现了三头六臂,手提宝剑而出,见杨任相貌异常,心下也是惊骇, 忙问曰:"你是何人,通个名来!"杨任曰:"吾乃道德真君门下杨任是也。 今奉师命下山,特来破你瘟癀阵。"吕岳笑曰:"你不过一小童耳,敢出大言?"仗剑来取,杨任飞雷枪急架相迎,二兽相交,枪剑并举,战未三合,吕岳掩一剑望阵中而走;杨任大呼:"吾来也!"杨任进阵。不知吉凶如何?且看下回分解。
