With the confession of storekeeper several, Shi Xuan brought back to own small courtyard Ding Mingde. Although said that wants Bing Zhu to talk in the night, but Ding Mingde is tired and hungry, now is satiated with food and wine, is stranded on intent, chatted several with Shi Xuan, cannot stop the eyelid below builds. 和掌柜的交代了几句,石轩就将丁明德带回了自己的小院子。虽然说是要秉烛夜谈,但丁明德一路又累又饿,现在吃饱喝足,正好困意上头,和石轩聊了几句,就止不住眼皮的下搭。 Shi Xuan sees that to smile, after before remembering itself, all night , the scene of attending class, being busy at leading Ding Mingde to go to the left side building to be calm. 石轩见状会心一笑,想起了自己以前通宵之后去上课的情景,忙带丁明德去了左厢房安顿。 Returns to own room, Shi Xuan not to start visualization immediately, but closes eyes to sit cross-legged, seemingly maintains mental tranquility or cultivates, it let loose spirit sense actually, the alert was observing the entire courtyard, to the beforehand that say/way mean vision, Shi Xuan does not dare to have any general idea/careless, if some people came, perhaps oneself can obtain more news. 回到自己的房间,石轩并没有立即开始观想,而是闭目盘坐,看似养神或者修炼,其实则放开了灵觉,戒备地观察着整个院子,对之前那道阴狠的目光,石轩可是不敢有任何大意的,而且若是有人前来,自己说不定就能得到更多的消息。 What a pity the master of that vision has not come tonight night of courtyard that searches Shi Xuan, entire courtyard, only then in Ding Mingde's snort sound and institute the cicada whining noise on Chinese parasol tree, lets at night appear peaceful and static leisurely. After Shi Xuan alerted a double-hour, puts down to guard, starts visualization to get up. These days, no matter on the road, is in the inn restaurant, Shi Xuan had not relaxed the cultivation of visualization, every day can feel that own soul the great strength, had entered the peak of Strengthening Soul period, what a pity has not traced to the threshold of Soul Leaves the Body period. 可惜那道目光的主人今晚并没有来夜探石轩的院子,整个院子只有丁明德的打鼾声和院中梧桐上的蝉鸣声,让夜晚显得安宁而又静逸。石轩戒备了一个时辰之后,才放下提防,开始观想起来。这段时间,不管是在路上,还是在客栈酒家里,石轩一直没放松过观想的修炼,每日都能感觉到自己灵魂的强大,已经进入了壮魂期的巅峰,可惜还是没摸到灵魂出窍期的门槛。 Moonlight like water, night wind slightly cool, after Shi Xuan visualization finished, takes a seat before the window looks at the night scene in courtyard, is hearing various slight sounds, this feeling like the independence outside the whole world, is observing this world peacefully. Regarding Shi Xuan, actually all seem like a dream, but since arrived here, can do, only then press forward. 月光如水,夜风微凉,石轩观想结束之后就坐到窗前看着院子中的夜景,听着各种细微的声音,这种感觉就像独立于整个世界之外,安静地观察着这个世界。对于石轩而言,其实一切都像是一场梦,但既然来到这里了,能做的只有奋力向前。 Regarding Shi Xuan present cultivation base, the daily sleep is very necessary, particularly tomorrow is going to go to Perceiving Mystery Mountain one line, needs to raise the full spirit. Originally Shi Xuan has arranged the concrete traveling schedule, but Ding Mingde's appearance made Shi Xuan put first of traveling schedule Shuanghu Village, because too did not understand that must therefore extremely alert. Relaxed Shi Xuan to sleep a moment later. 对于石轩现在的修为而言,每日的睡眠还是很必要的,尤其是明日将要去通玄山一行,更加需要养足精神。本来石轩已经安排好具体的行程,但丁明德的出现让石轩把双虎村放到了行程的第一位,因为不太了解所以更要万分戒备。放松片刻之后石轩就就寝了。 A night sleeps peacefully. 一夜安睡。 Weather slightly white, the cool breeze delivers crisply, after Shi Xuan practices the body, in the morning wanted two breakfasts, then awakened Ding Mingde. 50 li (0.5 km) of Perceiving Mystery Mountain northwest the city locates, by Shi Xuan the words of foot regulation, several double-hour arrived, but takes Ding Mingde this to look is the person of frail scholar, then may probably walk very much for day. Therefore awakens Ding Mingde early, later the walk hires the carriage, in the time can be quite ample. 天色微白,清风送爽,石轩清晨练体之后要了两份早饭,然后叫醒了丁明德。通玄山在城西北五十里处,以石轩的脚程的话,几个时辰就到了,但带上丁明德这个一看就是文弱书生的人,则很有可能要走一天。所以早早地叫醒丁明德,之后无论是步行还是雇佣马车,时间上就能比较宽裕了。 In the middle of the courtyard, under the dryondra, by the stone table, Ding Mingde sits opposite of Shi Xuan, looked appearance that has not awaked, but his personality, although some bookworm air/Qi, but has no arrogant mentality, understands oneself rub the Shi Xuan food and room, washing that coordinates very much one got up. 院子当中,梧桐树下,石桌旁,丁明德坐在石轩对面,一看就是没有睡醒的样子,但他性格虽然有些书呆子气,但却没有什么自高自大的心态,明白自己只是蹭石轩的饭和屋子,很是配合的洗漱了一下就起来了。 „The Mingde brother, I have arranged waiter to call the carriage, like this we 3 to 5 p.m beginning can arrive at Perceiving Mystery Mountain. Should be have time?” Shi Xuan asked. “明德兄,我已经安排小二去叫马车了,这样我们申时初就能到达通玄山了。应该能赶得及？”石轩问道。 Ding Mingde somewhat said grateful: „Child Ang brother, took the trouble, according to my male cousin, majordomo in 5 to 7 p.m. in Yuhua Pavilion my double-hour, completely with enough time.” 丁明德有些感激地说道:“子昂兄,多费心了,据我表兄说,大管家会在酉时在雨花亭等我一个时辰,完全来得及。” After the food, Shi Xuan and Ding Mingde conduct the back the baggage, before the counter paid fully the room charge, but Shi Xuan gave two taels of silver additionally hit to kindly give shop waiter. Shop waiter reddens all over the face grateful, the respectful and submissive region Shi Xuan and Ding Mingde arrive at the inn side gate. 饭后,石轩和丁明德背上行李,到柜台前付足了店钱,而石轩则额外多给了二两银子的打赏给店小二。店小二感激地满脸通红,恭顺地带着石轩和丁明德走到客栈侧门。 Goes out of the side gate, sees a quite simple carriage, two horses seem like the age was somewhat big nags, the cart driver is one somewhat is long upright middle-aged guy, sees the Shi Xuan two people to come out, is busy at going forward obsequiously saying: „Two masters, this is must go to Perceiving Mystery Mountain, my Zheng Daniu did not boast, this road walked nearly for 20 years, sits my carriage that is steady and quick.” 一走出侧门,就看见一架比较朴素的马车,两匹马看起来都是年龄有些大了的驽马,车夫则是一个长得有些忠厚的中年汉子,见得石轩二人出来,忙上前点头哈腰地说道:“二位老爷,这是要去通玄山吧,我郑大牛不是自夸,这条路走了快二十年了,坐我的马车那是又稳又快。” „Un, waiter had said to you a moment ago, so long as this you catch up well, not only fare two taels of silver, I also hit to enjoy your five taels of silver additionally.” Shi Xuan now some spare cash, moreover to the present acquired great complete qi cycle stage, only needed to eat every day makes up for the essence food to be good fully, the open country can also go hunting, money needs not to be so high when your health city. “恩,刚才小二已经给你说了,这趟只要你赶得好,不只车钱的二两银子,我还额外打赏你五两银子。”石轩现在还是很有些闲钱的,而且到了现在后天大周天的阶段,只需要每日吃足弥补精气的食物就行了,野外还能打打猎,银子的需要没有在夏安城时那么高了。 „Certainly certain, two masters felt relieved, felt relieved!” Zheng Daniu sees the income to go far beyond own imagination, very delighted said/tunnel. Then made two people enter the carriage, oneself sat on the frame, raised the whip in hand. “一定一定,两位老爷放心好了,放心好了！”郑大牛见收入远远超过自己的想象,很是欢喜地道。然后让两人进了马车,自己坐在车架上,扬起了手里的鞭子。 Zheng Daniu has not really boasted, although the carriage jolts to be unavoidable, but before the contrast, has ridden carriage, is on good is too many, is only looked that Ding Mingde is only pale but has not spat is the evident proof. Shi Xuan sees Ding Mingde that spirit not to speak, pulls some idle talks with Zheng Daniu. 郑大牛果然没有吹牛,虽然马车颠簸在所难免,但对比之前坐过的马车,已经是好上太多了,光是看丁明德只是脸色发白而没有吐出来就是明证。石轩见丁明德没那精神说话,就和郑大牛拉扯些闲话。 Caught up with the person of 20 years of carriage toward Perceiving Mystery Mountain worthily, Zheng Daniu many words, although has not made Shi Xuan receive more news, but before also side verified Shi Xuan , something that inquires, for example Perceiving Mystery Mountain some people are truly missing every year, although passes on by the wild animal is eaten, but can find the skeleton throughout is only a few, for example Perceiving Mystery Mountain often can hear the sound of similar tiger's roar at night, the hearsay is that monster sends. 不愧是往通玄山赶了二十年马车的人,郑大牛的很多话虽然没有让石轩获得更多的消息,但也侧面印证了石轩之前打探的一些事情,比如通玄山确实每年都有人失踪,虽然都是传被野兽所食,但能找到尸骨的始终只是少数,也比如通玄山夜晚常能听到类似虎啸的声音,传闻是那怪兽所发。 Noontime just arrived, Zheng Daniu sees sun tall Zhao, said to Shi Xuan: „Mr. stone, had walked the most distance, walked a double-hour to be many again some arrives. Front has a tea shop, now noontime, might as well go to there to drink some tea, with some food, rests to walk again.” 午时刚到,郑大牛见日头高照,就对石轩道:“石老爷,已经走了大半路程了,再走一个时辰多些就到了。前面有一处茶铺,现下午时了,不如去那里喝些茶水,用些饭食,歇息歇息再走。” Shi Xuan looked at pale Ding Mingde, thinks that has not remained many distances the distances, the nod: „Then rested on the past, happen to now noontime.” 石轩看了看脸色发白的丁明德,想了想没剩多少距离的路程,点头:“那就过去歇息吧,正好现下午时。” The carriage walked the appearance of half quarter, saw a crude tea shop appears in the roadside. A small alcove takes the kitchen, outside a big awning, is putting 56 square tables at will, hangs up a streamer that again wrote „tea” character, is the entirety of entire tea shop. 马车又走了半刻钟的样子,就看到了一座简陋的茶铺出现在路边。一个小小的亭子作为厨房,外面支着个大大的凉棚,随意放着五六张方桌,再挂上一幅写了“茶”字的幡,就是整个茶铺的全部。 Arrives at Shi Xuan their carriage to stop, in the tea shop came out a petite middle-aged aunt, the hair somewhat is slightly gray, to Shi Xuan several humanity: „Several customers must drink tea, a big pot wants ten articles, here also has the smoked meat, to smoke the chicken and rice.” 就到石轩他们的马车停下,茶铺里就出来了一位娇小的中年大婶,头发略有些花白,对石轩几人道:“几位客官可是要喝茶,一大壶只要十文,我们这里还有熏肉、熏鸡以及米饭。” „That has big pot tea, again smoking meat and smoking the chicken cuts one respectively fully, the rice on. These money enough? Many, even if hits to enjoy.” Shi Xuan looked at Zheng Daniu and Ding Mingde, then gave the proprietress taels of silver to say. “那来一大壶茶,再把熏肉和熏鸡各切一盘,米饭满上。这些钱够了吧？多的就算打赏。”石轩看了看郑大牛和丁明德,然后给了老板娘一两银子道。 „Sufficed! Sufficed! In several customers sits slowly.” The proprietresses see to act the quite extravagant guest, very attentive said/tunnel. “够了！够了！几位客官里面慢坐。”老板娘见到出手比较阔绰的客人,很是殷勤地道。 Perhaps is because during August, is hot, without many people are willing to go far to burn incense to worship Buddha, in the entire tea shop be only one table has a guest, this guest very tall and strong, is only sits has the proprietress to be almost high, the heavy features, the whiskers, cannot see the concrete age, wears an old Daoist robe, full is the crack and stain. On the table is suspending a great sword, extended one time compared with the sword that the common Martial World (rivers and lakes) person uses fully, grew five points, moreover is big pot tea, plate of smoked meat, several steamed bun that seems like bringing. 或许是因为八月间,天气炎热,没多少人愿意出远门去上香拜佛,整个茶铺里只有一桌有一位客人,这位客人很是魁梧,光是坐着就有老板娘差不多高,浓眉大眼,络腮胡,看不出具体年纪,穿着一身旧道袍,满是破洞和污迹。桌上摆着一把巨剑,比寻常江湖人士用的剑整整宽了一倍,长了五分,另外就是一大壶茶,一盘熏肉,几个看起来像是自带的馒头。 In addition, was the tea shop behind woods edge encircled cotton thread, surrounding several valiant guards, this was the powerful official others female family members of goes out plays. 除此之外,就是茶铺后面树林边缘围了个布帘子,周围几个彪悍的护卫,这是权贵人家的女眷出门游玩。 Zheng Daniu took to eat with the tea to return to the carriage to enjoy, one was to look at the carriage, two were he thought that oneself status did not coordinate the Shi Xuan two people to sit together dined. 郑大牛拿了些吃食和茶水就回马车上去享用了,一则是看着马车,二则是他觉得自己的身份不配和石轩二人坐在一起用餐。 Shi Xuan planned three people use the lunch together, but Zheng Daniu insisted, Shi Xuan is also unsuitable to demand, the tea is eating the smoked meat with Ding Mingde, chatted Ding Mingde Perceiving Mystery Mountain to work as the matter of respectful and affectionate form of address for private tutor casually. 石轩本来打算三人一起用午饭的,但郑大牛自己坚持,石轩也不便强求,和丁明德二人就着茶水吃着熏肉,随便闲聊着丁明德通玄山当西席之事。 Although before Ding Mingde, somewhat jolts feels dizzy, but saw to eat or perk up, ate is discussing the later arrangement delightedly. 丁明德虽然之前颠簸得有些发晕,但看见吃食还是恢复了精神,边吃边眉飞色舞地谈着以后的安排。 At this time, that tall and strong Daoist one stood, the body best pupil was nine chi (0.33 m)( one foot approximately 0.23 meter), was almost higher than a head Shi Xuan, then with own great sword, arrived at Ding Mingde gradually behind, toward Shi Xuan selected under one unemotionally, Shi Xuan does not know that he wants to make anything, but the alert visits him, among this high strong strange people steps, in the behavior can look is expert, what realm, Shi Xuan may not have that ability to look specifically to come out. 这时候,那魁梧道人一下站了起来,身高足有九尺(一尺约0.23米),比石轩差不多高一个头,拿上自己的巨剑,然后缓步走到了丁明德的身后,面无表情地朝着石轩点了一下头,石轩不知道他想做什么,只是戒备地看着他,这高壮异人步履之间,行止之中都能看出来是位高手,具体什么境界,石轩可还没那能力看出来。 Ding Mingde is talking about the enthusiasm, suddenly feels a piece of shadow cover in the head, opposite Shi Xuan also smiles is looking own behind, is busy at turning head to look, sees the tall and strong Daoist to stand in such as the mountain capping is ordinary behind, cannot help but moved to the Shi Xuan direction. 丁明德正讲到兴头,忽然感觉一片阴影罩在头上,对面的石轩也微笑着看着自己的身后,忙扭头一看,就见魁梧道人站在身后如高山压顶一般,不由自主地向石轩方向挪动了一下。 The tall and strong Daoist expression said desolately: „Some must go to Perceiving Mystery Mountain Shuanghu Village, hearing two is the fellow traveller, knows.” Does not know that is intentionally this somewhat desolate expression, truly cannot have to do, looks very arrogant. 魁梧道人表情冷淡地说:“某家也是要去通玄山双虎村,听闻二位是同路人,就过来结识一番。”不知道是故意这副有些冷淡的表情,还是确实不太会与人打交道,看起来很是傲慢。 „Daoist priest held true, said left meets by chance, was predestined friends, didn't know the Gao given name?” Some Shi Xuan innermost feelings alerts open the mouth. “道长有理了,道左相逢,就是有缘,不知高姓大名？”石轩内心有些戒备地开口。 „Some is not daoist, is only this Daoist robe is loose, puts on comfortably, some surnamed Yan, the master gives a name to call ‚great sword’.” Yan Jujian is still that unemotional appearance. “某家不是道士,只是这道袍宽松,穿着舒服罢了,某家姓燕,师傅取个名字叫‘巨剑’。”燕巨剑依然是那副面无表情的样子。 This master gives the name the level to be really bad enough, Shi Xuan unstated criticism two, then introduced: „This is Mr. Ding Mingde Ding, this time is to go to Perceiving Mystery Mountain Shuanghu Village works as the respectful and affectionate form of address for private tutor, poor... below Shi Xuan, originally is goes to Perceiving Mystery Mountain to play, happen to bumps Khet Stoeng Treng you, feels like old friends at the first meeting, accompanies to go together.” 这师傅取名字的水准实在有够差的,石轩腹诽两句,然后介绍:“这位是丁明德丁先生,这次是去通玄山双虎村当西席的,贫…在下石轩,本是去通玄山游玩,正好碰上丁兄台,一见如故,就结伴同去。” Yan Jujian is sizing up the Shi Xuan two people carefully, some meaningful typical: „Some is to go to Perceiving Mystery Mountain Shuanghu Village looks for a old friend.” 燕巨剑仔细地打量着石轩二人,有些意味深长地道:“某家是去通玄山双虎村寻找一位故人的。” Yan Jujian did not solicit two people agreements, took a seat, Shi Xuan had a mind to have a look at this high strong strange people to have what goal, has not prevented. After exchanging greetings, Yan Jujian started to inquire that to Ding Mingde the matter about Perceiving Mystery Mountain came, although made a veiled attack, but he truly cannot talk probably, making Shi Xuan touch clear, only then Ding Mingde this bookworm could not look, knew very much happily a new friend, all questions will be answered very refreshedly. Under the Shi Xuan heart whispered secretly, was seeks the immortal to ask? 燕巨剑也不征求两人的同意,自顾自地就坐了下来,石轩有心看看这高壮异人有什么目的,也就没有阻止。寒暄之后,燕巨剑开始向丁明德询问起关于通玄山的事情来,虽然是旁敲侧击,但他好像确实不太会与人交谈,让石轩摸得一清二楚,只有丁明德这个书呆子才看不出来,很是高兴认识了一位新的朋友,有问必答得很爽快。石轩心下暗自嘀咕,难道也是来寻仙求道的？ When Shi Xuan wants to sound out somebody in turn the Perceiving Mystery Mountain Shuanghu Village news when Yan Jujian, then discovered that this high strong strange people's issue to the Shi Xuan basically uses „is not transparent” reply, otherwise disregards directly. 而当石轩反过来想在燕巨剑身上套问通玄山双虎村的消息时,则发现这高壮异人对石轩的问题基本上都用“不明了”回答,要不然就直接无视。
