Variable cable/search life/command, what rope is not the Xu Yan life, but is his master Xu Daoyuan life. 无常索命,索的并非徐言的命,而是他师父徐道远的命。 The predestined time of death of master should arrive early, this point Xu Yan is very clear, because master was too weak, but he does not want to lose old daoist that is bound by a common destiny, therefore he saw variable start outside Daoist temple from ninth that year for the first time, then walked into the mountain alone, consumed for one day and one night, braved by the danger that the wild wolf held in the mouth, finally sought one over hundred years wild ginseng, but the old daoist life, the wild gingseng that will be picked once in a while from these Xu Yan is continuing. 师父的大限早该到了,这一点徐言十分清楚,因为师父的身体实在太虚弱了,但他不想失去相依为命的老道士,于是从九岁那年他第一次看到了道观外的无常开始,便独自进山,耗费了一天一夜,冒着被野狼叼走的危险,终于寻到一株百年以上的野山参,而老道士的命,正是由那些徐言每隔一段时间就会采到的山参续着。 This continues, is the entire six years! 这一续,便是整整六年！ The time of Black and White Impermanence presenting became more and more short, last month, Xu Yan just sought a wild gingseng in the mountain, variable that never expected that 35 months can present in the past, merely after January/one month, appeared again. 黑白无常出现的时间变得越来越短了,上个月里,徐言才刚刚在山里寻到了一株山参,没想到以往三五个月才会出现的无常,仅仅一月之后就再度出现。 In Riding Cloud Monastery is consecrating the statue of Taoist trinity, regarding member Daoists, variable will not be unreasonable, will wait for each time peacefully outside the Daoist temple, waits for the old daoist lifespan to exhaust, but every sees one time variably, Xu Yan will walk into the mountain to seek the ginseng/partake surely. 乘云观里供奉着三清的雕像,对于道家修士,无常不会无理,每次都会安静的等待在道观之外,等待着老道士的阳寿耗尽,而每一次看到无常,徐言必定会进山寻参。 This time, is no exception. 这一次,也不例外。 The old cemetery is a name of barren hill, after Linshan Town does not have heir's old person passed away, by the neighbors is buried in this barren hill, because the tomb on barren hill are getting more and more, gradually was called the old cemetery. 老坟山是一座荒山的名字,临山镇一些没有子嗣的老人过世之后,都会被街坊们埋在这座荒山,由于荒山上的坟茔越来越多,久而久之就被叫成了老坟山。 „Xu Yan, you fear the ghost, walks into the mountain to entangle the red thread in the wrist/skill each time.” “徐言,你是不是怕鬼呀,每次进山都在手腕上缠着红绳。” A half big kid of Li despises said that stance was clearly ridiculing the Xu Yan courage is too small, in his family/home can be the wealthy and powerful family in Linshan Town, does not lack the meat to eat, walking into the mountain is also joins in the fun to play. 一个李姓的半大孩子鄙夷地说道,那架势分明在嘲笑徐言胆子太小,他家里算得上临山镇的大户,根本不缺肉吃,进山也是凑热闹玩耍而已。 „Who said that Elder brother Yan fears the ghost, Elder brother Yan does not fear!” “谁说言哥哥怕鬼啦,言哥哥才不怕呢！” A little girl peer named Little Hua wrinkles the nose is being Xu Yan defends against injustice, the small girl just reach was ten years old, was in these youngster smallest one, the put on homespun cloth women's clothing towed on the ground, obviously was picks in the family/home elder sister's clothes, the figure was thin and small, complexion withered and yellow, seemed like likely the 6 or 7-year-old appearance. 同行的一个叫做小花的小女孩皱着鼻子为徐言打抱不平,小丫头刚满十岁,是这些少年中最小的一个,穿的粗布衣裙都拖在地上,显然是捡家里姐姐的衣服,身形瘦小,面色枯黄,看起来到像六七岁的样子。 Was contradicted by a small girl, 15 or 16 years old Li youngster immediately discontented saying: „He did not fear why can entangle the red thread in the wrist/skill? My mother has said that the red thread is exorcises evil spirits, he clearly fears the ghost!” 被一个小丫头顶撞,十五六岁的李姓少年顿时不满的说道:“他不怕,为什么要在手腕上缠红绳？我娘说过,红绳是辟邪的,他分明就是怕鬼！” „Good good, who does not fear the ghost, my is not entangling the red thread.” “好啦好啦,谁不怕鬼,我这不也缠着红绳么。” A slightly big vigorous and healthy boy raises oneself hand, in his wrist/skill indeed is also entangling the red thread, but that red thread is very old, the red looked that is not quite clear, he called the iron pole, was the child of blacksmith family/home, these children walked into the mountain each time are he lead. 一个稍大些的健壮男孩举起自己的手,他的手腕上的确也缠着红绳,只不过那红绳已经很旧了,红色都看不太清,他叫铁柱,是铁匠家的孩子,这些孩子每次进山都是他带队。 „Your that red thread was you fell ill in childhood wore that year, rubbed early did not have the color.” The Li youngster obviously knows in the iron pole wrist/skill the origin of red thread, refuses to accept not indignation saying: „The Xu Yan red thread is each time new, he is timid!” “你那红绳是你小时候生病那年戴的,早都磨得没了颜色。”李姓少年明显知道铁柱手腕上红绳的来历,不服不忿地说道:“徐言的红绳每次都是新的,他就是胆子小！” On the mountain road, the young youngster chirp, were discussing the brave and timid issue, Xu Yan is the last, is listening with a smile, never argued, rarely the receptacle, seems like the somewhat silly appearance. 山路上,年岁不大的少年们叽叽喳喳,讨论着胆子大与胆子小的问题,徐言则走在最后,笑吟吟地听着,从不辩解,也很少插口,看起来有些傻傻的模样。 The children in Linshan Town know that Xu Yan fetches water to sprinkle custom, therefore everyone thinks that Riding Cloud Monastery the Little Daoist Priest somewhat is stupidly gruff, but Xu Yan throws the stone the skill to be indeed fierce, walks into the mountain to catch the hare , if no under beforehand arrange/cloth the trap, is very difficult to catch to obtain, only then Xu Yan, these youngster talents will not return empty-handed, as for brave timid, actually no relations. 临山镇的孩子们都知道徐言打水洒一路的习惯,所以大家都认为乘云观的这个小道士有些憨傻,不过徐言扔石头的本事的确厉害,进山抓野兔如果没有事先布下陷阱,是很难捕得到的,只有徐言在,这些少年人才不会空手而归,至于胆大胆小,其实没什么关系。 Perhaps struggle held to quarrel the anger, arrived at the foot of the hill time, the youngster of Li has gotten flushed in the face with anger, others said that anything was actually indifferent, what he could not bear was vowing solemnly of Little Hua that kid, expression that Xu Yan always laughed foolishly. 或许一路的争持吵出了火气,来到山脚下的时候,李姓的少年已经脸红脖子粗了,别人说什么倒是无所谓,他受不了的是小花那个小屁孩的信誓旦旦,还有徐言始终傻笑的表情。 At the foot of the hill, the Li youngster refers to the full mountain slope the tomb, interrogated: „Xu Yan, you said, you fear the ghost!” 山脚下,李姓少年一指满山坡的坟茔,质问道:“徐言,你说,你是不是怕鬼！” He such big voice shouted, other youngster some were not all happy, because hare, once were alarmed, will run away, the truth of a crafty person has several ways out, these often catch the hare the youngster to know. 他这么大的声音一喊,其他少年全都有些不高兴了,因为野兔一旦被惊扰,都会逃走,狡兔三窟的道理,这些常抓野兔的少年们都知道。 Under the opposite party loudly interrogation, Xu Yan was still that gruff smile, said: „Feared that you don't fear the ghost?” 在对方大声的质问下,徐言仍旧是那种憨憨的笑容,道:“怕啊,你不怕鬼么？” „I and I do not have you is so timid!” The Li youngster to embolden to oneself, the sound was also loud several points, that timid two characters presented the echo in the mountain forest. “我、我才没你那么胆小！”李姓少年为了给自己壮胆,声音又大了几分,那胆小两个字在山林里出现了回音。 Xu Yan has the somewhat gruff silly smile as before, said slowly: „Zhang Family of East Street mother-in-law three days ago just passed away, buried in the old cemetery, before often listened to some Grandma Zhang lecture of fox spirit ghost female stories, I feared in the mountain see the Grandma Zhang ghost, therefore was the red thread.” 徐言依旧带着有些憨傻的微笑,缓缓说道:“东街的张家婆婆三天前刚过世,也埋在了老坟山,以前常听张婆婆讲一些狐仙鬼女的故事,我怕在山里见到张婆婆的鬼魂,所以才系了红绳。” Mentioned Grandma Zhang that just passed away, not only the youngster of Li, other youngster also some dozens feared, but these young fellows in full were the old cemetery in tomb chop firewood or hit the hare frequently, but also the population were also many, hitting to fear is hits to fear, pours is not too afraid. 一提及刚刚过世的张婆婆,不但李姓的少年,其他的少年也有些打怵,不过这些少年人经常在满是坟茔的老坟山砍柴或者打野兔,而且人数又多,打怵是打怵,倒也不是太害怕。 In order to prove own brave, the Li youngster is raising head saying: „Ghost story I heard more than you, I did not fear, so long as shouted loudly, the soul ghost thing will run away in fear !!” 为了证明自己的勇敢,李姓少年仰着头说道:“鬼故事我听得比你多多了,我才不怕,只要大喊大叫,阴魂鬼物都会被吓跑,呜！啊！” Shouted randomly at the foot of the hill Li youngster, stirs up other person of one to be sick, has this person to follow, today can project on the hare to be strange. 在山脚下乱喊起来的李姓少年,惹得其他人一阵厌烦,有这种人跟着,今天能打到野兔才怪了。 The opposite party such a shouted, the Xu Yan smile removes gradually, the eyebrow peak wrinkled the wrinkle with no trace. 对方这么一喊,徐言的笑容渐渐褪去,眉峰不着痕迹的皱了皱。 Xu Yan does not care regarding the hare, the goal that he walks into the mountain is to seek the ginseng/partake, being startled the hare is small, once were startled these to have spiritual energy ginseng spirit, but on white to come one. 徐言对于野兔根本就不在意,他进山的目的是来寻参,惊走野兔是小,一旦惊走了那些拥有灵气的参灵,可就白来一趟了。 Over hundred years old ginseng/partake will give birth to ginseng spirit, others could not see, Xu Yan can see. 百年以上的老参都会生出参灵,别人看不到,徐言看得到。 If the old ginseng/partake not spirits, then the drug efficacy at least needs to reduce the majority, cannot continue the Xu Daoyuan life, the red thread in Xu Yan wrist/skill, is used to grasp ginseng spirit, only then ties up the red thread, can imprison ginseng spirit in the old ginseng/partake. 如果老参无灵,那么药效至少要减少一多半,根本续不了徐道远的命,徐言手腕上的红绳,就是用来抓参灵的,只有绑上红绳,才能将参灵囚在老参里。 Rubbed the head reluctantly, Xu Yan stopped the Li youngster shouted randomly randomly calls, asks: „Since you do not fear the ghost, story that then Grandma Zhang Family told for the last time, have you listened?” 无奈地揉了揉脑袋,徐言止住了李姓少年的乱喊乱叫,问道:“既然你不怕鬼,那么张家婆婆最后一次讲的故事,你听过了么？” „Most and final story?” The Li youngster has doubts said: „Is the fox spirit Sir night rushes to the yamen to rescue the unjust charge, does the snow female deliver the gold/metal to help the student pass the palace examination?” “最、最后的故事？”李姓少年疑惑地说道:“是狐仙大人夜闯衙门救冤狱,还是雪女送金助书生金榜题名？” Xu Yan shakes the head, the sound somewhat said low and deep: „It seems like you have not listened, is not the fox spirit is not the snow female, but is the story of pictures of cakes.” 徐言摇了摇头,声音有些低沉地说道:“看来你没听过,不是狐仙也不是雪女,而是画饼的故事。” Grandma Zhang Family in little Zhendong Street is childless, most likes giving others to tell some ghosts and gods stories, these half big youngster mostly listen to the story that Grandma Zhang Family has told, but no one has listened to the story of this pictures of cakes, therefore the curious children start to urge that Xu Yan speaks the pictures of cakes, Xu Yan does not shirk, the sound slightly told low and deep. 小镇东街的张家婆婆无儿无女,最喜欢给别人讲一些鬼神故事,这些半大的少年大多听过张家婆婆讲的故事,可是没人听过这个画饼的故事,于是好奇的孩子们开始催促徐言讲一讲画饼,徐言也不推脱,声音略显低沉地讲述了起来。 The student who „ goes to the capital to take the civil service exam, after a stretch of good long good long grave, he walked walks, always cannot come to the end, was hungry and feared, at this time, a granny appeared before the student, asked that he must drink water. “一个上京赶考的书生,经过了一片好长好长的坟地,他走啊走啊,总也走不到尽头,又饿又怕,这时候,一个老婆婆出现在书生面前,问他要不要喝口水。 Under the students are afraid, does not dare to drink the water in grave, shook the head only does not say thirstily, the granny heard his belly rumble calling, therefore asked that he must iron the good pie, the student was too hungry, after the expression of gratitude, received the pie, walked while ate. 书生害怕之下,没敢喝坟地里的水,摇头只说不渴,老婆婆听到他肚子咕噜噜的叫,于是问他要不要烙好的大饼,书生实在太饿了,道谢后接过了大饼,边走边吃。 When he eats up first, discovered that the left ear could not hear the sound, ate the second time, the right ear could not hear, after third fourth, his eye could not see, until eating ten, on the face of student, was only left over opened mouth, the nose eye ear all vanished into thin air! ” 当他吃下第一口的时候,发现左边的耳朵听不到声音了,吃第二口的时候,右边的耳朵也听不到了,第三口第四口之后,他的眼睛也看不到,直到吃了十口,书生的脸上,只剩下了一张嘴,鼻子眼睛耳朵全都不翼而飞！” Xu Yan talk about here , the youngster of side hear of stories swallowed under the saliva slightly simultaneously, that Li youngster provokes stands opposite of Xu Yan, curls the lip, although two legs somewhat shiver, makes as before about the appearance that this story is not afraid. 徐言讲到这里,微微顿了顿,旁边听故事的少年们同时咽了下口水,那个李姓少年挑衅地站在徐言对面,撇了撇嘴,虽然两腿有些颤抖,依旧做出对这个故事一点都不害怕的样子。 „When the student will eat half of pie turned over......” the Xu Yan sound becomes sinks, somewhat said gloomily: „On that half cake, presented his own face, he is taking oneself face, treats as the pie to eat.” “当书生将吃掉了一半的大饼翻转过来的时候……”徐言的声音变得更沉,有些阴森地说道:“那半张饼上,出现了他自己的脸,他正拿着自己的脸,当做大饼在吃。” The somewhat scary story, by the grave, the surrounding youngster was frightened particularly heavily, that Li youngster in the Xu Yan opposite, was frightened the face to be white at this time, is actually still pretending calmly. 有些吓人的故事,尤其是在坟地旁边,周围的少年们都被吓得不轻,那个李姓少年就在徐言的对面,这时候被吓得脸都白了,却还在装作镇定。 Xu Yan smiles, turns around saying: „I also thought that nothing scary, in this world which has ghost, after Grandma Zhang Family told this story this morning, I also laughed to say not scary......” 徐言笑了笑,转身道:“我也觉得没什么吓人的,这世上哪有鬼啊,张家婆婆今天早上讲完这个故事之后,我还笑话说一点都不吓人……” After Xu Yan turns around to say these words, his behind Li youngster started to tremble the tooth, on the face resulted in palely does not see the half silk blood-color. 在徐言转身说出这句话之后,他身后的李姓少年连牙齿都开始打颤了,脸上苍白得不见半丝血色。 The Xu Yan story is not indeed scary, but Zhang Family of East Street mother-in-law three days ago died, why this morning will also tell the story! 徐言的故事的确不算吓人,可是东街的张家婆婆三天前就死了,今天早上为什么还会说故事！ Xu Yan that the back passes away, pulled out anything from the bosom, rubbed own head, suddenly turns around. 背过身去的徐言,从怀里掏出了什么,揉了揉自己的脑袋,忽然转过身来。 In his hand is taking a pie, on the pie has an opening, that opening gnawed off by anything one, but the shape is not the mouth of human can bite, is somewhat long and narrow, the opening edge is also proliferating the long tooth trace. 他手里正拿着一张大饼,大饼上有一个豁口,那豁口是被什么东西一口咬掉的,可是形状并不是人类的嘴巴能咬出来的,有些狭长,豁口的边缘还遍布着长长的牙齿痕迹。 „Strange, was my pie, bit one by whom?” “奇怪,我的大饼,被谁咬了一口？” The Xu Yan doubts look down own pie, then unemotional raising the head, is asking to front Li youngster at a loss: „Do you know?” 徐言疑惑地低头看着自己的大饼,而后面无表情的抬起头,对着面前的李姓少年茫然问道:“你知道么？”
