沙文正想開口問如此平實的獸形拳,何能剋制景教? 染色似是看透他的心思,突然右手使虎爪、左手橫揮如象鼻、足下疾走麒麟步,隨著手中出招,斗室之中傳出各種猛獸叫聲,或虎嘯、或龍吟、或狼嘷,竟將多種走獸的身法同時集於一身。沙文迷惘中連使景教招式「四足有翅」、「玉兔倒嚼」招架(注195),唯是這兩招比之於染色禪師的混合獸形拳終究破綻太多,沙文漸落下風。但染色凭著混合獸形,卻又未能一舉將沙文擊潰;待得沙文將景教拳術中的獸形招式使得將盡了,終於使出景教獸形最後一招「鳥中蝙蝠」(注196),就在此時,染色手中招式亦自一轉,且變招之間隱含風雷之聲,似是將獅虎豹狼等猛獸融為一體,而且光是聽風已知這百獸合一的功夫非同小可,身法似獅非獅、似狼非狼……又似是所有這些猛獸的合體,而景教功夫「鳥中蝙蝠」這一招實在置己於死地,無可救挽;眾人眼見染色酣於一試新招的威力,竟不似有留力之意,這一拳打到沙文,重者必然傷及五臟,輕則亦不免斷筋碎骨;段秋水剛巧站得較遠,要出手亦自不及,危急中唯獨史諦勳站得較為靠近,他護主心切,只見他一咬牙和身撲出擋在沙文身前,跟著「轟」的一聲巨响,登時腥紅直噴,血濺五步。

Origin
According to Christian lore, the Christmas tree is associated with St Boniface and the German town of Geismar. Sometime in St Boniface's lifetime (c. 672-754) he cut down the tree of Thor in order to disprove the legitimacy of the Norse gods to the local German tribe. St. Boniface saw a fir tree growing in the roots of the old oak. Taking this as a sign of the Christian faith, he said "...let Christ be at the center of your households..." using the fir tree as a symbol of Christianity.[1]
