The people in room were talking in whispers, sobbed to the death of Meng Mingshu. 屋子里的人都在切切私语,对孟明恕的死亡唏嘘不已。 The Meng last guardian, after keeping the recording institute of person of lane slaughters, drinks the poisoned liquor to commit suicide, that scene, making Jade City that already the custom slaughtered also tremble. 孟氏最后一任家长,在留人巷的记院里大开杀戒之后,喝下毒酒自尽,那副场面,让早已习惯杀戮的璧玉城也震颤不已。 „Upstairs and downstairs, 78 corpses, he held on each several blades, he does not have the wound.” “楼上楼下,78具尸体,他在每一具上面都捅了几刀,就他自己没伤口。” „Meng are two so fierce? Can kill off 78 people?” “孟二有那么厉害？能自己杀光78个人？” „Most people have drunk the poisoned liquor actually, died, he must guarantee that nobody can live.” “大多数人其实喝了毒酒,已经死了,他就是要保证没人能活下来。” „, Really cannot think, Meng two...... The mountain of money, does he let go not to want really? Also non- designated heir?” “啧啧,真是想不到,孟二……万贯家财,他真就撒手不要了？也不指定继承人？” „Heh, the mountain of money, was not to mention it, in brief Meng two had no way out, had a mortal hatred of Xiao Fengchai, was insufficient to make this matter.” “嘿,万贯家财,还是别提它了,总之孟二要不是走投无路,要不是恨死了萧凤钗,也不至于做出这种事。” „Xiao Fengchai, what a pity, I three years ago has visited her, is really a good woman, was too corrupt, regarded the food money simply, how unable to force-feed, I received the hand fortunately promptly, otherwise......” “萧凤钗,可惜可惜,我三年前拜访过她,真是个不错的女人,就是太贪了,简直把银子当成饭,怎么都喂不饱,还好我及时收手,要不然……” The topic starts to have the difference, few people continue mourning of like grieve for like, another part of people deeply recall to keep person of lane first recording, finally discovered that each other on her greatly spending money, immediately has had one type closeness that is similar to the schoolfellow or the fellow villager. 话题开始发生分歧,一部分人继续兔死狐悲的悼念,另一部分人则深切缅怀留人巷第一名记,结果发现彼此都在她身上大把撒过银子,相互间立刻生出一种类似于同窗或同乡的亲近感。 Stands is suitable for the item in the entrance monk in charge of reception of visitors person low eyebrow, meditates Scripture, but always 1-2 words biographies hear, „her flesh also wants the young and fresh-looking compared with young young girl, heard that she takes a bath...... „ I most to like her with the breast milk whispering in the ear every day”, words that said enters the heart, compares favorably with the good wine of alcohol...... ” 站在门口的知客僧人低眉顺目,默念经文,可是总有一两句话传入耳中,“她的肌肤比十几岁的少女还要水嫩,听说她每天用人乳洗澡……”“我最喜欢她在耳边低语,说的话句句入心,比得上最醇的美酒……” Monk in charge of reception of visitors is twenty years old, become monk since childhood, cannot imagine the precise implication in words, were actually affected, the heartbeat accelerates, a scalding hot feeling ascends from the sole, paces back and forth in the chests and bellies. 知客僧二十几岁,从小出家,想象不出话中的确切含义,却还是受到影响,心跳加速,一股灼热感从脚底升腾,在胸腹间徘徊不去。 „Wanted me saying that Meng two has done a good deed at the point of death finally, that cheap person took the consequences for own actions.” A forty -year-old female said loudly, is looking at the people provocatively, in one of the not many female surnames as the room, she represents the south city majority to say own idea the female. “要我说,孟二临死总算做了一件好事,那个贱人就是自作自受。”一名四十几岁的女子大声说,挑衅似地望着众人,作为房间里不多的女姓之一,她代表南城一多半记女说出自己的想法。 The men smile, nobody and she argued, this female had south city dozens every large or small recording institutes, the control about half population business, always did not have the good impression to Xiao Fengchai. 男人们只是笑,没有人与她争辩,这名女子拥有南城数十家大大小小的记院,掌控近半的人口买卖,对萧凤钗向来没有好印象。 The monks in charge of reception of visitors looked up female one eyes fast, in heart surging intermittent anger, what was following was rebukes oneself, when the abbot / abbess accompanied finally the honored guest arrived, he flurriedly draws back, dashed in the temple, first time thought that these dignified constructions were the fetters. 知客僧快速地抬头望了女子一眼,心中涌起阵阵愤怒,随之而来的是自责,当住持终于陪伴贵客到来时,他慌乱地退下,在寺院中飞奔,第一次觉得这些庄严的建筑是束缚。 The abbot / abbess law presents to the monk in charge of reception of visitors rude slightly feels surprisedly, does not have the time to inquire about, on the face shows the merchant amiable smiling face, „asked donor to take a seat, was protected to announce the city main martial arts contest matters concerned by Pang.” 住持法奉对知客僧的失态略感惊讶,没时间过问,脸上露出商人般的随和笑容,“请诸位施主入座,由庞都护宣布城主比武事宜。” Pang Jingdai childish smiling face, is arriving at the innermost seat of honor before with long hurried strides, the surface stands toward the people, not having the slightest bit to be sad, probably does not know the death of Meng Mingshu news. 庞靖带着孩子气的笑容,大步流星走到最里面的主位前,面朝众人站立,没有半分悲戚,好像根本不知道孟明恕之死的消息。 All people heard, Meng Family other half property also by Pang Jing info clerk, therefore some rumors said that the Meng two murders are the Central Plains plots, specific content actually nobody can talk clearly, only then a small number of smart people suspect the gold in old dwelling at all not real, Pang Jing has to all accept them, to hide truth. 所有人都听说了,孟家的另一半财产也被庞靖收纳,因此有传言说孟二杀人是中原的阴谋,具体内容却没人能说得清,只有少数聪明人怀疑老宅里的黄金根本不是真的,庞靖不得不将它们全收下,以掩藏真相。 Officer that the Central Plains person sends no longer was the crude and image hurriedly, the Jade City big or small leader and covers, the manner was even more respectful and prudent, in the heart was also more vigilant. 中原人派来的官儿不再是鲁莽与风风火火的形象了,璧玉城的大小领袖与罩子们,神态越发恭谨,心中也更加警惕。 Pang Jing looks but not see to this small change, said with the excited tone: „15 days later is the city main martial arts contest, in the recent hundred years, Jade City first time had the only master.” 庞靖对这点小小的变化视而不见,用兴奋的语气说:“15天之后就是城主比武,近百年了,璧玉城将第一次拥有唯一的主人。” In the room resounds approves of sound politely, everybody rather does not have the master, but they are very sane, knows that the best choice passionate welcome the new master. 房间里响起客气地赞同声,大家宁可没有主人,但他们都很理智,知道最好的选择就是热情洋溢地欢迎新主。 „This is a special martial arts contest.” Pang Jing continues saying that the eye looks at the people, in the heart feels slightly regrettably, Dragon King, Supreme King , etc. the most important characters personally have not arrived, all by the trusted subordinate representative, „must elect a city Lord, not for amusement person informer, therefore the martial arts contest cannot openly carry on.” “这是一次特殊的比武。”庞靖继续道,眼望众人,心中稍感遗憾,龙王、独步王等最重要的人物都没有亲自到场,全由亲信代表,“是要选举一位城主,不是为了娱人耳目,因此比武不会公开进行。” The people exude the disappointed cry together, if cannot see with one's own eyes the martial arts contest, how can snatch the forecast city Lords in front of others falls into whose hand? 众人一起发出失望的叫声,若不能亲眼看到比武,怎么能抢在别人前面预测城主落入谁手？ Pang Jing understands that the intention of people, explained immediately: „But presents, including me, altogether 87, representative Jade City from all walks of life, will be the witness of martial arts contest.” 庞靖明白众人的心意,马上解释道:“但是在座诸位,连我在内,一共87位,代表璧玉城各界,将是比武的见证人。” The cheers resound, in an instant, the Meng Family tragedy was squeezed out the room, unmanned cared again, they like this stipulation, not only can receive the firsthand news, can show that the status and status, have provided a guarantee to the future. 欢呼声响起,转眼间,孟家的悲剧被挤出房间,再无人关心,他们喜欢这项规定,不仅能拿到第一手消息,更能显示身份与地位,给未来提供了一份保证。 „Martial arts contest place in supervising the city officer mansion, only compares every day, after all conclusions, there was the city main mansion, the Northern Court person is willing to finish the tenure in office ahead of time, resigned the place.” “比武地点就在督城官府邸,每天只比一场,一切结束之后,那里就是城主府,北庭人愿意提前结束任期,让出地方。” Many people raise up the ear, wants to seek for the clues from Pang Jing's tone, but they were disappointed, a Central Plains person intonation change, will not have seized the mansion incident to care probably. 许多人都竖起耳朵,想从庞靖的语气里寻找蛛丝马迹,可他们失望了,中原人语调没一点变化,好像根本没将夺府一事放在心上。 „Before today will carry on the martial arts contest , the most important procedure-- registration, is not everyone is entitled, city main, not only martial arts excels, but must have the foundation, I think, no one hopes makes a Jianghu boorish fellow govern Jade City, therefore, only then presents has the qualifications registration, naturally, may not go on stage personally, if you can invite the expert to go on stage for you, completely.” “今天将进行比武之前最重要的一道程序——报名,并非每个人都有资格,城主不只是武功高强,还得有根基,我想,谁也不希望让一名江湖莽夫掌管璧玉城,所以,只有在座诸位有资格报名,当然,不一定非得亲自上场,你要是能请来高手替你上场,完全可以。” This stipulation people heard, but few individuals want to register, the victory and defeat is unimportant, the key does not want to offend the new town Lord, because entire Jade City believes, the city main inevitably is in the middle of Supreme King and Dragon King one. 这项规定众人都已听说,可没有几个人想报名,胜负不重要,关键是不想得罪新城主,因为整个璧玉城都相信,城主必然是独步王与龙王当中的一位。 Some little time nobody opens the mouth, appears some awkward silences, Pang Jing laughs, „looks like, no matter who becomes the city Lord, will be very low-key, that first took a stand by me: Central Plains will not attend the martial arts contest, the city Lords can only be the Western Region people.” 好一会没人开口,显得有些冷场,庞靖哈哈一笑,“看来不管谁当上城主,都会很低调,那就由我先表态:中原不会参加比武,城主只会是西域人。” This is also the news that everybody knows beforehand, but is protected the relatives of government officials to give an oral account by Western Region, is stability many will of the people. 这也是大家事先知晓的消息,但是由西域都护官亲口说出来,还是稳定不少人心。 „New Moon Hall registration.” In the corner broadcasts a sound, the speaking voice is a young woman, the vision chilling, probably did not understand that what is the exchange, always looks straight ahead the opposite party, never when gives way to traffic, enters the room are many, this is her first opens the mouth. “晓月堂报名。”角落里传来一个声音,说话声是名年轻女子,目光冷硬,好像不懂得什么叫交流,总是直视对方,从不避让,进屋多时,这还是她第一次开口。 Pang Jing hints official in charge of documents and archival materials to prepare the record, said: „Is very good, finally some people have registered, whom but you must say to work as the city Lord, sends who attended the martial arts contest.” 庞靖示意身边的主簿准备记录,笑着说:“很好,终于有人报名了,但是你得说出谁想当城主,派谁参加比武。” „City Lord, the New Moon Hall governing masters avoid as taboo He Nu, martial arts contest, the New Moon Hall governing masters avoid as taboo He Nu.” The females coldly give the name, simple direct, listens to be not quite polite, actually made a start, the following registration presses this form. “城主,晓月堂御众师讳荷女,比武者,晓月堂御众师讳荷女。”女子冷冷地报出姓名,简单直接,听上去不太客气,却开了一个头,后面的报名都按这个格式来。 „City Lord, Golden Roc Castle Supreme King avoids as taboo Shangguan Fa, martial arts contest, invariable.” A white clothing adviser representative Golden Roc Castle registration, the people complete silence, expressed that should have the respect that. “城主,金鹏堡独步王讳上官伐,比武者,不变。”一名白衣谋士代表金鹏堡报名,众人鸦雀无声,表示出该有的尊敬。 „City Lord, king of Huitang Xiaoyao Lake An Kingdom puts down the woods......” in room to resound a slight laughter, they are very familiar with the secure kings, no one believes that he can become the city Lord, „martial arts contest, swordsman Luo Qi Kang.” The laughter vanished all of a sudden, this Central Plains swordsman already left behind the swordsmanship in Jade City such as the god and ruthless spicy heartless reputation, no one dares to laugh. “城主,逍遥海安国之王讳汤平森……”房间里响起一阵轻微的笑声,对安王他们很熟悉,谁也不相信他能当上城主,“比武者,剑客骆启康。”笑声一下子消失了,这名中原剑客早已在璧玉城留下剑法如神、狠辣无情的名声,谁也不敢嗤笑。 Meanwhile, all people also understand, Central Plains must insert one in the city main martial arts contest after all. 与此同时,所有人也都明白,中原毕竟还是要在城主比武中插上一手。 „City Lord, Sky Mountain sect sovereign Zhang Ji, martial arts contest, Bladesman side Shuyi.” “城主,天山宗宗主张楫,比武者,刀客方殊义。” The Sky Mountain sect must fight for the position of city Lord with Supreme King unexpectedly, some people are surprised, had been explained in a few words by the nearby person, „this is for the person of Supreme King opening, makes Supreme King contend in martial arts with the young underling personally?” 天山宗竟然要与自家独步王争抢城主之位,有些人感到意外,被身边人三言两语就说明白了,“这是替独步王开路的人,难道让独步王亲自跟小喽罗比武吗？” side Shuyi is a strange name, before nobody has heard, this is very normal, he formerly definitely was Golden Roc Killer(s), does not know that achieved many great accomplishments to kill many people, but never left behind the name. 方殊义是个陌生名字,之前没人听说过,这很正常,他从前肯定是金鹏杀手,不知道做过多少大事杀过多少人,只是从不留下名姓。 The official in charge of documents and archival materials had not certainly heard this name, asked neatly writes down. 主簿当然更没听说过这个名字,问了一句才工工整整写下来。 „City Lord, Kun Society Shangguan Ru, martial arts contest, Kun Society Shangguan Ru.” “城主,鲲社上官如,比武者,鲲社上官如。” This registration immediately causes to whoop, Shangguan Ru is the Supreme King daughter, actually when follows Dragon King runs to be many, even therefore becomes Land of Fragrance „queen”, after returning to Jade City, accepts the Golden Roc Castle Killer(s) apprentice in the name of Kun Society, in which twists and turns in bystander opinion every step are unthinkable, the standpoint is unpredictable. 这句报名立刻引起议论纷纷,上官如是独步王的女儿,却跟随龙王奔走多时,甚至因此当上香积之国“女王”,重返璧玉城之后以鲲社的名义收下金鹏堡的杀手学徒,其中的曲折在外人看来每一步都是匪夷所思,立场更是捉摸不定。 Pang Jing smiles is appreciating people's discussion, this conforms to his anticipated, if the city main martial arts contest is only struggle of Supreme King and Dragon King, that may not have the meaning. 庞靖微笑着欣赏众人的议论,这才符合他的预期,如果城主比武只是独步王与龙王之争,那可太没意思了。 „Heh, if Kun Society can on New Moon Hall, that be interesting.” Somebody thought of this point suddenly, a words exit|to speak regretted, the New Moon Hall girl student swept the icy vision, the Kun Society, Golden Roc Castle and Sky Mountain sect and other side of the complexions were unattractive, he retroceded hurriedly, hides behind the crowd, does not dare to open the mouth. “嘿,鲲社要是能对上晓月堂,那才有意思呢。”某人突然想到这一点,话一出口就后悔了,晓月堂女弟子扫来冷冰冰的目光,鲲社、金鹏堡、天山宗等方的脸色也不好看,他急忙后退,躲在人群后面,再也不敢开口了。 „City Lord, self-satisfied building Chu Nanping, martial arts contest, self-satisfied building Chu Nanping.” “城主,得意楼初南屏,比武者,得意楼初南屏。” The sixth entrant causes astonished, „self-satisfied building? Didn't burn down and dies? Who Chu Nanping is, is he......” 第六个报名者引起一片惊愕,“得意楼？不是烧光、死光了吗？初南屏是谁,哦,是他……” Chu Nanping arrive oneself to register, in Jade City, his appearance compared with sword technique more well-known, several men and women have been peeping he, at this time was flagrant, even also some people applauded for him. 初南屏自己到场自己报名,在璧玉城,他的容貌比剑术更知名,好几名男女一直在偷窥他,这时更是明目张胆,甚至还有人为他叫好。 „City Lord, Great Desolate Sect Shangguan Hong, martial arts contest, Great Desolate Sect Shangguan Hong.” “城主,大荒门上官鸿,比武者,大荒门上官鸿。” Can comes Four Truths Temple to attend the conference have the influence and well-informed person, but most of them do not remember for several years ago sneak attacked Golden Roc Castle Great Desolate Sect, never heard to Shangguan Hong, but the instinct thought that „Shangguan” this surname was not simple. 能来四谛伽蓝参加会议的都是有势力、消息灵通的人,可他们当中大多数人都不记得几年前偷袭金鹏堡的大荒门了,对上官鸿更是从未听闻,只是本能地觉得“上官”这个姓氏不简单。 „Supreme King illegitimate child.” The news travels quickly, nobody dares to ask again. “独步王的私生子。”消息很快传开,再没人敢多问了。 „City Lord, supervises city officer Mo Chu, martial arts contest, Bladesman Moullin.” “城主,督城官墨出,比武者,刀客莫林。” Immediately some people pointed out this registration does not gather the custom, „their two are not the Western Region people.” 马上就有人指出这次报名不合规矩,“他们两个都不是西域人。” Pang Jing beyond expectation appears very magnanimous, „Mo Chu in Jade City for officer three years, is the Western Region person, should have to scramble for the city main qualifications.” 庞靖出人意料地显得很大度,“墨出在璧玉城为官三年,也算是西域人,应该有争夺城主的资格。” Since the Central Plains person did not oppose, naturally nobody again minds others' business. 既然中原人不反对,自然没人再多管闲事。 Eight people have registered, the remaining people only want to watch the fun, therefore they have doubts very much, hasn't Dragon King registered? 已经八个人报名了,剩下的人只想看热闹,所以他们很疑惑,龙王怎么还不报名？ What comes on behalf of Dragon King is Zhong Heng, has been listening, to curious vision in all directions when all does not exist. 代表龙王来的是钟衡,一直在听,对四面八方的好奇目光全当不存在。 „Also do some people register? Also?” Pang Jing inquired loudly, starts also in all directions to examine, finally the vision is also same as other people, falls on Zhong Heng. “还有人报名吗？还有吗？”庞靖大声询问,开始还四处查看,最后目光也跟其他人一样,落在钟衡身上。 Zhong Heng just sobered probably, sets out saying: „City Lord, Great Snow Mountain Long Fanyun, martial arts contest, Great Snow Mountain Dragon King avoids as taboo Gu Shenwei.” 钟衡好像刚刚清醒过来,起身说道:“城主,大雪山龙翻云,比武者,大雪山龙王讳顾慎为。” In the room a peace, a Pang Jing fist pounds suddenly on the table, has overturned the inkslab. 房间里一片安静,庞靖突然一拳砸在桌上,打翻了砚台。 ( This volume finished, towering a point, to stopping the traveling schedule crossed the most, thank each reader's support. The next volume of primary coverages contend in martial arts, then goes to Central Plains, initially decides 12 volumes, probably is this.)( To be continued.) （本卷结束,突兀了一点,至止行程已过多半,感谢每一位读者的支持。下一卷的主要内容是比武,然后就是前往中原,初定12卷,大概就是这样。）(未完待续。)
