Since nine years ago arrives at dragon court to join nearly waits on the army, the feeling of flatter wise close to has not felt such better, bends the bow, nocking and loose string, to cannot the simple movement, he still be able to reduce some unnecessary detail simply, making it simpler. 自从九年前来到龙庭加入近侍军,阿哲巴的感觉从来没这么好过,弯弓、搭箭、松弦,简单到不能再简单的动作,他仍然能够从中减少了一些不必要的细节,使之变得更加简单。 After the experience mutiny, election were defeated repeatedly, the flatter wise close to retrieves to lose for a long time self-confidence in the battlefield finally. 经历兵变、推选等多次失败之后,阿哲巴终于在战场上找回丢失已久的自信。 Schemes and tricks not suitable oneself, he to think. 阴谋诡计就不适合自己,他想。 Wind common cheers stop gradually, the two sides armies backward retreat, simultaneously extends the battleline, expands to many directions, this is the sign that the foreign enemy arrives. 风一般的欢呼声渐渐息止,两边的军队都向后退却,同时拉长阵线,向多个方向扩展,这是外敌到来的迹象。 The flatter wise close to looks to the distant place, the horizon presents a heavy line, gradually becomes thick, afterward branches out a fine lace, crawls to the battlefield creeping motion. 阿哲巴向远处望去,天边出现一条黑线,逐渐变得浓粗,随后分出一根细线,向战场蠕动爬来。 He recognizes big large military banner in ancient times that flutters, the dark horse nearly waits on armed forces' symbol, white horse flag correspondence with perspiration king. 他认得那飘扬的大纛,黑马是近侍军的标志,与汗王的白马旗对应。 Looks out a meeting, flatter wise close to sycophancy going back one's own side army, to the Dragon King slight nod, to 12-year-old command report: „Shaman who nearly waits on the army.” 遥望一会,阿哲巴拍马驶回己方军阵,冲龙王微微点头,向12岁的统帅报告情况:“是近侍军的萨满。” National religion that Northern Court has not revered alone, from the nobility, to the ordinary herdsman, can choose the belief freely, even if simultaneously believes several types not to have the issue, but in all armies has different quantities of Shaman, this is the origin for a long time tradition, in master like Great Snow Mountain army. 北庭没有独尊的国教,上至王公贵族,下至普通牧民,可以自由选择信仰,即使同时信好几种也没问题,但是所有军队里都有数量不等的萨满,这是来源已久的传统,就像大雪山军中的术士。 These Shaman wish the victory, to curse enemy, already became the dispensable symbolic surname character, no wonder continually legitimate descendants of princes Shurly was also to this news surprised, „Shaman? What do they make?” 这些萨满祈愿胜利、诅咒敌人,早已成为可有可无的象征姓人物,难怪连正统王孙舒利图对这个消息也感到意外,“萨满？他们来做什么？” „Nearly waits on the army military officers mostly to be killed, perhaps the soldiers elect them to become the leaders.” The flatter wise close to has made a simple guess. “近侍军军官大都被杀,士兵们或许选他们成为首领。”阿哲巴做了一个简单的猜测。 „Reason that perhaps they are the military officer killed.” Gu Shenwei has also made a simple guess. “或许他们就是军官被杀的原因。”顾慎为也做了一个简单猜测。 Shurly shows with the age not symmetric maturity, first looked at Dragon King, two people coordination were very rough at this time, each other is exploring the bottom line of opposite party, then said own view: „No matter what, they do not have hostility probably, the multitude of people male phoenix is graceful, you inquire into the opposite party purpose in coming, the army alert.” 舒利图展现出与年龄不相称的成熟,先是看了一眼龙王,两人的配合这时还很粗糙,彼此都在探索对方的底线,然后说出自己的看法:“不管怎样,他们好像没有敌意,千夫长离曼,你去探问对方来意,全军戒备。” Just obtained the multitude of people long duty to before, immediately obeys an order, leading several soldiers to sail to nearly waits on the army envoy, almost simultaneously, the Saint said that in Wang Jun also drives out of squad troops, obviously in execution similar order. 离曼刚刚在阵前获得千夫长之职,立刻应命,带领十几名士兵驶向近侍军使者,差不多同时,圣曰王军中也驶出一小队人马,显然是在执行同样的命令。 Nearly waits on the army envoy team altogether to have more than 50 people, drives the battlefield center from both armies gap, the high yellow bottom dark horse flag flutters against the wind, does not have the timid meaning. 近侍军使者队伍总共只有50余人,从两军缺口直驱战场中心,高高的黄底黑马旗迎风飘扬,毫无胆怯之意。 From is quite near, Gu Shenwei saw clearly the appearance of that several Shaman finally. 距离比较近,顾慎为终于看清了那几名萨满的样子。 The Great Snow Mountain master usually does not have too many differences with the soldier, has any clothes to wear any clothes, does not have the special demand, but never bumps a sword kind of weapon. 大雪山术士平时与士兵没有太多差别,有什么衣服就穿什么衣服,没有特殊需求,只是从不碰刀剑一类的兵器。 Northern Court Shaman is different, the hat of top of the head inserted completely the feather of standing tall and erect, is the feather spells to weave probably including the clothes that the body threw over, the characteristics were quite obvious. 北庭的萨满则不一样,头顶的帽子插满了高耸的羽毛,连身上披的衣裳好像也是羽毛拼织成的,特征极为明显。 Likes the Saint of bird saying that the king may like these people, Gu Shenwei thought that thought this likely is a joke, has not said. 爱鸟的圣曰王或许会喜欢这些人,顾慎为心想,觉得这像是一句玩笑,没有说出口。 To leads troops to return gracefully, on face facial expression not only has the doubts and has the repugnance, „Shaman invited both armies leaders to discuss, he said...... He has been ordered from Old King Han there, must end the imperial court dispute.” 离曼带兵回归,脸上神情既有疑惑又有反感,“大萨满邀请两军首领会谈,他说……他从老汗王那里得到命令,要结束龙庭的纷争。” A wee bit does not believe to this excuse to obviously, but his words exit|to speak, disseminates immediately at the extremely quick speed, Gu Shenwei almost can feel the mood that the respect and dreads to surge upward in periphery gradually, like flood of overflow, sane sobriety actually soon submerged trees. 离曼对这种说辞显然一丁点也不相信,可他的话一出口,立刻以极快的速度散播开来,顾慎为几乎能感受到崇敬与畏惧的情绪在周围逐渐高涨,像泛滥的洪水,理智的清醒者却是即将被淹没的树木。 „Asked Dragon King to see Shaman with me together.” Shurly proposed the request, has avoided the awkwardness of Dragon King. “请龙王跟我一块去见大萨满。”舒利图主动提出请求,避免了龙王的尴尬。 To starts to regret own directness gracefully, but corrected without enough time, „can only go to three people, this is also Shaman request.” 离曼开始后悔自己的直接,但是已经来不及纠正,“只能去三个人,这也是大萨满的要求。” Trivial more than 50 nearly wait on the army, changes from guest to host before both armies unexpectedly, people to distant place nearly waited on the army to look at one, no one had the means revolt. 区区50余名近侍军,在两军阵前竟然反客为主,众人向远处的近侍军望了一眼,谁也没办法反抗。 The Saint said that in Wang Jun has driven out of three people, must give a Shaman good impression evidently. 圣曰王军中已经驶出三个人,看样子是要给大萨满一个好印象。 Gu Shenwei nods assent, „asked Your Highness to assign the third person again.” 顾慎为点头应允,“请殿下再指定第三人。” Fang Wenshi coughs continually several, hinted is in itself the optiman, Shurly actually without hesitation has aimed at another person, „the flatter wise close to, you formerly nearly waited on the army military officer, went with us together.” 方闻是连咳数声,示意自己就是最佳人选,舒利图却毫不犹豫地指向了另一个人,“阿哲巴,你从前是近侍军军官,跟我们一块去。” Altogether seven Shaman, the one who is oldest is Shaman, he was very old, wraps in the middle of layer upon layer the feather, almost cannot distinguish clearly the men and women, only then the hoarse ambiguous speaking voice showed that he is a man. 一共七名萨满,年纪最大的是大萨满,他真的很老了,包裹在层层羽毛当中,几乎分不清男女,只有粗哑含糊的说话声证明他是男子。 Shaman sits in immediately, raises both hands, raises head to face upwards, recited in the Northern Court language melodious some little time, as welcome both armies leader's indicating. 大萨满坐在马上,举起双手,仰头朝天,用北庭语抑扬顿挫地吟唱了好一会,作为欢迎两军首领的表示。 Gu Shenwei cannot understand, the Northern Court person on the scene, is only the expression is probably respectful and prudent, little reveals. 顾慎为听不懂,在场的北庭人好像也都云里雾里,只是表情恭谨,很少表露出来。 They respect is not Shaman, but is 100,000 nearly waits on the army. 他们尊敬的不是萨满,而是100000近侍军。 The opposite party three people are the Saint said that a king in king, Wild Horse and Xinli, twenty -year-old youth, appears serious and tense, has probably not adapted to own status. 对方三人是圣曰王、野马和一名新立的王,二十几岁的青年,显得严肃而紧张,好像还不适应自己的身份。 The Saint said the king to be with smile on the face, was taking a look at 12-year-old Shurly, occasionally looked at Dragon King, meant that „you looked for a good puppet”. 圣曰王面带微笑,打量着12岁的舒利图,偶尔看一眼龙王,意思是说“你找了一个好傀儡”。 Shaman eventually ended the pray, although sound is hoarse, has one type such as the mystery in dream, „Old King Han is looking to regard you through my eye, he saw other families person.” 大萨满终于结束祈祷,声音虽然粗哑,却有着一种如在梦中的神秘感,“老汗王正通过我的眼睛看视你们,他看到了外族人。” Like this effect is tangible, dozens nearly wait on the army guards also to lower the head, probably Old King Han in the side, the Saint said that side the king new king vision becomes keeps on vacillating. 这样的话效果明显,数十名近侍军卫兵同时低头,好像老汗王就在身边,圣曰王身边的新王目光变得游移不定。 „Wild Horse is my guard.” The Saint said that king tone is optional, „he, although came from Western Region, but was likely born in Northern Court, hehe, was goes home.” “野马是我的护卫。”圣曰王语气随意,“他虽然来自西域,但很可能出生于北庭,呵呵,算是回家了吧。” Shurly smiling face appears somewhat weak, but does not have the least bit to be anxious, „I believe, Old King Han saw Dragon King this other families person will be very happy, if the rumor right, before Old King Han ascends to heaven, once alone summoned Dragon King, and invited his fellow guest to drink wine, didn't know real?” 舒利图的笑容显得有些虚弱,但没有半点紧张,“我相信,老汗王看到龙王这个外族人会很高兴,如果传言没错的话,老汗王升天之前,曾经单独召见龙王,并邀请他同席饮酒,不知道是不是真的？” Shaman is startled, the body has shaken suddenly 2-3, then starts to sway slightly, the eye resembles closes/obstructs Feibi, „...... Good...... Old King Han allows these two other families people to stay behind, he also had a few words to Dragon King say.” 大萨满一怔,身体猛然抖了两三下,然后开始轻微地摇晃,眼睛似闭非闭,“嗯……好……老汗王允许这两个外族人留下,他还有一句话要对龙王说。” Shaman is glassy-eyed, the surface toward Dragon King, likely is actually looking out the distant place, the stop moment, said Old King Han hung in the day teaches, „mortal, when had self-knowledge.” 大萨满目光呆滞,面朝龙王,却像是在遥望远方,停顿片刻,才说出老汗王的在天垂训,“凡人当有自知之明。” Spoke these words, Shaman finished swaying, the look returns to normal, does not look at Dragon King one, has probably neglected this person. 说完这句话,大萨满结束摇晃,眼神恢复正常,再也不看龙王一眼,好像已经忽略了这个人。 Dozens nearly wait on the army to look that actually becomes to the Dragon King vision complex. 数十名近侍军看向龙王的目光却变得复杂起来。 Gu Shenwei and Shurly regard one mutually, two people understand that Shaman is being mysterious, „self-knowledge” was the ambiguous word, the right to interpret grasps in the Shaman hand, however before clarifying his real intention, Gu Shenwei is unable to counter-attack. 顾慎为与舒利图互视一眼,两人都明白大萨满是在故弄玄虚,“自知之明”是含糊的词,解释权掌握在大萨满手中,但是在搞清他的真正意图之前,顾慎为无从反击。 The Saint said that king Mi draws out the eye, „can hear the Old King Han sound to be really good once more, does he also want us to ascend the sky to accompany him?” 圣曰王眯起眼睛,“能再次听老汗王的声音真好,他还要我们上天陪他吗？” He has not forgotten nearly to wait on the bitter experience in army camp, the guard at risk of life protects, he was the same with several princes and several hundred military officer military officers, became the Old King Han accompanying sacrificial offering. 他可没有忘记近侍军营地里的遭遇,要不是护卫拼死保护,他已经跟几位王爷和数百名军官将领一样,成为老汗王的陪祭品了。 „That is a test.” Shaman coldly explained, „or the heaven takes care Old King Han, or stays in the world to carry out the Old King Han decree, everybody all has the fate.” “那是一次考验。”大萨满冷冷地解释,“或者上天服侍老汗王,或者留在人世执行老汗王的旨意,人人皆有定数。” The Saint said that king Pai strikes one's chest, „a Shaman such saying I felt relieved, I also think oneself ran away is surnamed the life is the unfilial action.” 圣曰王拍拍胸脯,“大萨满这么一说我就放心多了,我还以为自己逃得姓命是不孝之举呢。” Shurly lowers the head slightly, „is willing the Royal Father soul in heaven to rest.” 舒利图微微垂首,“愿父王在天之灵安息。” The Shaman stiff body, took possession by the Spiritual God probably, said loudly: „Old King Han has the aim, from, the sacred blood may not be slaughtered at this moment again, the perspiration prince grandson must immediately the truce.” 大萨满挺直身体,好像又被神灵附体,大声说:“老汗王有旨,从此刻起,神圣之血不可再遭杀戮,汗王子孙要立即停战。” Shaman as if said that the body also stiffly was actually straightening up, the Saint said that king Lv the beard, „Old King Han was ordering the truce, that was good, but did he have to assign the successor? New perspiration king, tangled warfare naturally ended.” 大萨满似乎说完了,身体却还僵硬地挺直着,圣曰王捋着胡须,“老汗王下令停战,那是再好不过,可他有没有指定继任者？新汗王一出,混战自然结束。” „Has.” “有。” Shaman such remarks, both sides raise up the ear, Gu Shenwei also enhances the attention, no matter how this god stick boasts shamelessly, can be affirmed from his mouth, is obtains 100,000 nearly to wait on armed forces' support, almost means that the perspiration position succeeds in obtaining. 大萨满此言一出,双方都竖起耳朵,就连顾慎为也提高注意力,不管这个神棍如何大言不惭,能从他嘴里得到肯定,就是得到100000近侍军的支持,几乎意味着汗位到手。 „Demon bird is born, life apply carbon, my king Shishou, the god body is restless. Except that extinguishes the demon bird, to retrieve king Shou, is the Northern Court new perspiration king.” “魔鸟降世,生灵涂炭,我王失首,神体不安。除灭魔鸟、寻回王首者,即是北庭新汗王。” Shaman had not stressed that specially „perspiration king blood relationship”, to the Northern Court person, this is the self-evident matter. 大萨满没有特意强调“汗王血统”,对北庭人来说,这是不言而喻的事情。 „Demon bird? Demon bird that which comes? How haven't I heard?” The Saint said that the king raised question first. “魔鸟？哪来的魔鸟？我怎么没听说过？”圣曰王最先提出疑问。 Shaman has completed own mission, no longer starts talking, closes the eye supinely to the sky, probably is accepting from the above information. 大萨满完成了自己的使命,不再开口说话,闭上眼睛仰向天空,好像在接受来自上方的信息。 Young Shaman opens the mouth to explain, „demon bird is a red top pinkeye big bird, cannibalizes the flesh specially, the blood sucking sucks the juice, Old King Han is alive it does not dare to come, Old King Han ascends to heaven it to come from the land of the polar north in the evening, south flies, you are busy with fighting, has not noted the shape of scourge. If makes the demon bird cross prairie from north to south, Northern Court will fall forever into the fission. Therefore must eliminate it here.” 一名年轻些的萨满开口解释,“魔鸟就是一只红顶红眼的大鸟,专吃人肉,吸血吮汁,老汗王在世的时候它不敢来,老汗王升天当晚它从极北之地现身,一路南飞,你们忙于争战,没有注意到天谴之象。如果让魔鸟从北到南横贯草原,北庭将永远陷入分裂。所以必须将它在这里消灭。” The Saint said that the king stares the big eye surprisedly, turns around to look at Gu Shenwei, „doesn't Dragon King have a big bird? Probably is also the red top pinkeye, with it won't be the relative?” 圣曰王惊讶地瞪大眼睛,转身看着顾慎为,“龙王不是也有一只大鸟吗？好像也是红顶红眼,不会跟它是亲戚吧？” „Looked knows.” “看了才知道。” All people same raise head to look at the day with Shaman, probably will eat the person demon bird momentarily to drop from the clouds. 所有人都跟大萨满一样仰头看天,好像食人魔鸟随时都会从天而降。 Shaman actually opens both eyes, transfers the wharf to depart along the background, nearly waits on the army guards to follow, young Shaman reminded both armies leaders, „before killing the demon bird, retrieved king Shou, the dragon court surrounding area in 500 li (0.5 km) can not make war, the offender betrays Old King Han, nearly will wait on the army to remove harmful things for the life.” 大萨满却睁开双眼,调转马头顺来路离去,近侍军卫兵紧随其后,年轻萨满提醒两军首领,“杀死魔鸟、找回王首之前,龙庭方圆500里之内不得开战,违者即是背叛老汗王,近侍军将替命除害。” Then, young Shaman looked at a flatter wise close to specially, in the vision full is the hatred, afterward dials the horse to leave. 说罢,年轻萨满特意多看了一眼阿哲巴,目光中满是仇恨,随后拨马离开。 The Saint said the king to frown, this matter for him was also the accident/surprise, was one of the ten kings, in Shaman by two army was regarded „mortal” to treat, made him very not refreshed, „fed, if a side killed the bird, another side retrieved the head, how should calculate?” 圣曰王皱起眉头,这件事对他来说也是意外,身为十王之一,被两名军中萨满当成“凡人”对待,更让他很不爽快,“喂,要是一方杀鸟,另一方找回头颅,该怎么算？” Nobody replied, Shaman has walked away. 没人回答,萨满已经走远。 The Saint said that king Haha has smiled two, looks at new king, „are you really also serious their words?” 圣曰王哈哈笑了两声,看着身边的新王,“你还真把他们的话当回事？” „But...... Has the demon bird, not?” The new king shot a look at Dragon King one flurriedly. “可是……真有魔鸟,不是吗？”新王慌乱地瞥了龙王一眼。 When everybody did not speak, Shurly opened the mouth, „I think that we were Ba battle good, 100,000 nearly waited on the soldier of army and your my both sides believes that Old King Han and demon bird, we must believe.” 等大家都不说话,舒利图才开口,“我想咱们还是罢战的好,100000近侍军和你我双方的士兵都相信老汗王与魔鸟,咱们也得相信。” Going back one's own side army on the way, Shurly asked: „Does Dragon King have a such big bird really?” 驶回己方军阵的途中,舒利图问道:“龙王真有一只那样的大鸟吗？” Gu Shenwei nods, has doubts at heart, when young Shaman description demon bird what said is „cannibalizes the flesh specially, the blood sucking sucks juice”, first half a word is relatively accurate, latter half a word is actually not the custom of big bird bird, pecks food eyeball most obvious characteristics simply not to mention. 顾慎为点点头,心里却非常疑惑,年轻萨满描述魔鸟时说的是“专吃人肉,吸血吮汁”,前半句相对准确,后半句却不是大鹏鸟的习惯,啄食眼珠这项最明显的特征却根本没有提及。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
