The news comes quite suddenly, Zhou Yuqing gets out of bed in the morning, is arranging a disciple to exit to inquire that in the bosom west hall is occupied by any person, another disciple runs in a hurry, is sweating, reported this astonishing news. 消息来得颇为突然,周羽清早晨起床,正安排一名弟子出去打听怀西馆里住着什么人,另一名弟子匆匆跑进来,急得满头大汗,报告了这个惊人的消息。. It is said Fan Yong da was captured alive by the Qingcheng Faction, this made the matter thornier, since the leader died in Northern Court, Qingcheng sent to regard Kongtong Faction for the foe, claimed everywhere Kongtong Faction did not speak the rivers and lakes good faith, helping other families person cope with the Central Plains person of same belief. 据说范用大是被青城派活捉的,这让事情变得更棘手了,自从掌门死在北庭,青城派就一直视崆峒派为仇敌,到处声称崆峒派不讲江湖信义,帮助外族人对付中原同道。 Fan Yong da betrayal proved indictment that Qingcheng sends reasonable. 范用大的背叛证明青城派的指控是有道理的。 „News that which from comes?” Zhou Yuqing cares about this problem. “从哪来的消息？”周羽清更关心这个问题。 The disciple of delivering a letter deletes the beads of sweat in volume, stutter said: „On street, street spread over.” 送信的弟子擦去额上的汗珠,结结巴巴地说:“街上、街上都传遍了。” „This early morning, how many people on the street can have?” “这大清早的,街上能有多少人？” The disciples had been daunted by the vision of doorkeeper, made excuses quite a while said: „I just opened the front door, hears some people to talk mutually, said that ‚Fan Yong da was grasped’, another said that ‚early heard, is merit that Qingcheng sends’, then...... Then I ran.” 弟子被监门的目光吓住了,支吾半天才说:“我刚打开大门,就听到有人互相交谈,一个说‘范用大被抓了’,另一个说‘早听说了,是青城派的功劳’,然后……然后我就跑进来了。” Zhou Yuqing sighed, he went to the capital with the old deity, has not led the efficient helper, Capital City had Fan Yong da to assume personal command, now only remaining five young disciples of being panic-stricken. 周羽清叹了口气,他与老神仙进京,没带得力的帮手,京城这边本来有范用大坐镇,现在只剩下五名惊慌失措的年轻弟子。 „This is the enemy is demonstrating.” He understands immediately this news intention, turns around to see the old deity. “这是敌人在示威。”他立刻明白这条消息的用意,转身去见老神仙。 The honorable people already woke up, is sitting in the bedside is in a daze, saw that Zhou Yuqing came, gains ground saying: „disciple, did you rest yesterday evening not well? Probably insufficient sleep.” 真人早已醒来,正坐在床边发呆,看到周羽清进来,抬头说:“徒儿,你昨天晚上睡得不好吗？好像缺觉似的。” „, Has not been all right, old deity, Fan Yong fell to Qingcheng greatly sends in the hand.” “没、没事,老神仙,范用大落到青城派手中了。” „.” Honorable person as if half dream partly awakes, is unexpectedly aloof to such big news. “哦。”真人似乎半梦半醒,对这么大的消息居然无动于衷。 „If I guess right, Fan Yong da was stressed already sometime, various faction hideaway news, arrive in Capital to be public until the old deity, press on step by step, the goal wants you to attend today's leader congress not to be possible.” “如果我猜得没错,范用大被抓已经有一段时间,各派隐藏消息,直到老神仙到京才公开,步步紧逼,目的就是要您非得参加今天的掌门大会不可。” „Can participate?” The honorable people asked confusedly. “非得参加吗？”真人迷茫地问。 Zhou Yuqing a little circled silly, shook the head, forcing oneself to calm down, „things have gotten to this point, the old deity feared that has to meet with the leaders, if Fan Yong greatly acknowledged in the presence of everyone he in secret was being the Dragon King potency, this is a big crime, quick is paid attention by Imperial Court, when the time comes, Kongtong Faction explained that was more difficult.” 周羽清有点绕糊涂了,摇摇头,强迫自己冷静下来,“事已至此,老神仙怕是不得不与众掌门会面了,范用大若是当众承认他在暗中为龙王效力,这可是一桩大罪,很快就会受到朝廷的关注,到时候,崆峒派解释起来更困难了。” „You believe that Fan Yong is big? I to that child not many impressions.” The honorable people said in a soft voice. “你相信范用大吗？我对那孩子没多少印象了。”真人轻声说。 „This and this......” Zhou Yuqing was stumped, he believes Fan Yong da, but he formerly also believed Tu Gou, the result fellow apprentice's actions actually startled fall down Palestine, enabling entire Kongtong Faction to be shamed. “这个、这个……”周羽清被问住了,他相信范用大,可他从前也相信屠狗,结果这位师兄的所作所为却令人惊掉下巴,使得整个崆峒派蒙羞。 In the Tu Gou surname standard is also the outbreak change, the week feather purifies the mind thump one, cannot help but looked at old deity several, prays secretly, do not let similar change occur on the master, Kongtong Faction needed him compared with any time in the past. 屠狗姓格也是突然发生变化,周羽清心里咯噔一声,不由得多看了老神仙几眼,暗自祷告,千万别让类似的变化发生在师父身上,崆峒派比以往任何时候都需要他。 „No matter believes that or not, he is a school of disciple, I cannot make him be bullied by others.” The honorable people stand up, moves the physique slightly, sighed: „May do not ask me to leave the long journey again, I probably also ride now on the horseback, that donkey? How do you process?” “不管相信与否,他都是本派弟子,我不能让他被别人欺负。”真人站起身,稍稍活动一下筋骨,叹息道:“可千万不要再让我走远路了,我现在好像还骑在马背上,那头小驴呢？你怎么处理的？” Zhou Yuqing bows saying: „Disciple was incompetent, making old deity suffer hardships, that donkey gave the person under mountain to safeguard, the old deity returned to the mountain time can also be useful.” 周羽清躬身道:“弟子无能,让老神仙受苦了,那头驴交给山下的人看管,老神仙回山的时候还能用得上。” „Also must go back.” The honorable people voice the disappointed feeling, immediately has smiled two, the matter that „I most am afraid alone sits in the dead room on Kongtong Mountains, died bewilderedly, then your crying day snatches, must claim outward I die has all kinds of miracles. Oh, I know, most difficult was this, not only cannot be completely same as the miracle of founders, cannot extremely exaggerate, but must the well attested, very be in brief difficult. If I die in Capital City, perhaps these can exempt, perhaps I can make the real miracle, you later also had say.” “还得回去啊。”真人发出失望的感慨,随即笑了两声,“我最害怕的事情就是独自坐在崆峒山上的静室里,莫名其妙地死了,然后你们哭天抢地,对外还得声称我死的时候有各种各样的奇迹。唉,我知道,最难的就是这个了,既不能跟祖师们的奇迹完全一样,又不能太过夸张,还得有根有据,总之很难。我要是死在京城,或许这些就可以免了,没准我自己就能造出一点真实的奇迹,你们以后也有得说了。” Zhou Yuqing hears dumbfoundedly, quite a while makes the sound, „old deity......” 周羽清听得目瞪口呆,半天才发出声音,“老神仙……” „.” The honorable people recover finally, full of energy, takes a step walks toward the room, „for a long time has not come Capital City, we stroll, goes to meet various school of leaders again, who takes a look is bullying my disciple grandson.” “出发。”真人终于缓过劲儿来,精神抖擞,迈步向屋外走去,“好久没来京城了,咱们逛一圈,再去会各派掌门,瞧瞧都是谁在欺负我的徒孙。” Zhou Yuqing follows close on after that in heart has mixed emotions, always thought that the old deity just now that words are the omen. 周羽清紧跟其后,心中百感交集,总觉得老神仙方才那番话是不祥之兆。 Just before leaving before, Zhou Yuqing exhorts two females who the disciples look after the backyard frequently, but does not permit to disturb them, does not permit to mention this matter to any bystander. 临走之前,周羽清嘱咐弟子们时刻照看后院的两名女子,但是不准打扰她们,也不准对任何外人提起此事。 The place of leader congress not in city. 掌门大会的地点不在城里。 Too many characters well up to Capital City, has aroused the vigilance of government authorities, to avoid the unnecessary trouble, the regulation nine masters suggested that everybody disperses Kongtong Faction outside the city not to be informed as far as possible. 太多的江湖人物涌至京城,引起了官府的警觉,为了避免不必要的麻烦,程九爷建议大家尽量分散住在城外崆峒派又没得到通知。 The regulation nine masters are at outside the city several li (0.5km) place to have a manor, the leader congress here carries on. 程九爷在城外十几里的地方有一处庄园,掌门大会就在这里进行。 Zhou Yuqing wants to contact with various school of friends ahead of time, finds out the details of this congress, the old deity has prevented him, „do not put to trouble to others, they are your friend, must pay a man back in his own coin, you inquired to others that others did not say, you are fearful, the friend related broke, others said that this favour was too big, you, must know that like the Kongtong Faction present situation, dozens years cannot appear one time.” 周羽清本来想提前与各派友人联系,摸清此次大会的底细,老神仙阻止了他,“别给别人添麻烦,他们是你的朋友,要礼尚往来,你向人家打听,人家不说,你心寒,朋友关系就断了,人家说了,这个人情太大,你还不起,要知道,像崆峒派现在的处境,几十年也出现不了一次。” Zhou Yuqing obeys the guidance of old deity, but he has his view: If when most danger is not willing to extend the aid, what friend that is also? The old deity was pessimistic. 周羽清听从老神仙的教导,但他心里有自己的看法:如果在最危难的时候不肯伸出援手,那还算什么朋友？老神仙过于悲观了。 But after manor, Zhou Yuqing the view had a change. 可是到了庄园之后,周羽清的看法发生了一点改变。 The leader congress is scheduled for the noontime, but he has not seen any leader all the way, to the manor entrance, actually one group of people came out to greet the old deity. 掌门大会定于午时举行,但他一路上没有见到任何一位掌门,到了庄园门口,却有一群人出来迎接老神仙。 In the surface this is enormous courteous reception and glory, similarly is the leader, their agree welcomed outside the garden, demonstrated the enormous respect, the first matter that but Zhou Yuqing thought was: These people gathered yesterday in the manor, perhaps discussed how an evening to cope with Kongtong Faction, nobody officially informed his one ahead of time, and Kongtong Faction most intimate several schools were no exception. 表面上这是极大的礼遇与荣耀,同样是掌门,他们肯迎到庭院以外,显示出极大的敬意,可周羽清想到的第一件事是:这些人昨天就已聚在庄园,或许商量了一晚上如何对付崆峒派,却没有一个人提前知会他一声,就连与崆峒派最亲近的几家门派也不例外。 The old deity had foreknowledge, he thinks that looks at the present stance, if oneself inquired that the news only feared will be rebuffed. 老神仙有先见之明,他想,看眼前的架势,自己若是打听消息只怕会碰一鼻子灰。 Chengjiazhuang on rivers and lakes illustrious, although does not have the name of inn, here is the worldly-wise person in the Capital City stopover, back then, Cheng Yi can tie the personal connection with this manor broadly, for „nine masters” the name paves the way. 程家庄在江湖上赫赫有名,虽然没有客栈的名称,这里就是老江湖在京城的落脚之处,想当年,程屹就是凭着这处庄园才能广结人缘,为“九爷”的称呼铺平道路。 Cheng Yi also in crowd of welcome, as the host stands with four status highest leaders in most front. 程屹也在迎接的人群之中,以东道主的身份与四名地位最高的掌门站在最前排。 Does not need to direct specially, 40-50 leaders know that own position, altogether not too neat three rows, the order is very distinct, not only determining factor the status of school, but also some my influences, for example Kongtong Faction, according to the component of school, should be located in second row of mediation, but the purple crane honorable person seniority in relationships is higher than anyone, two adding together, he has the qualifications to stand in the first row. 无需特意指点,四五十位掌门都知道自己的位置,一共是不太整齐的三排,次序却很分明,决定因素不只是门派的地位,还有本人的影响,比如崆峒派,按门派的份量,应该位于第二排居中,可紫鹤真人辈份比谁都高,两项相加,他有资格站在第一排。 What a pity today he is doomed to stand in the opposite of all leaders, Zhou Yuqing sobs in secret, the sincerity hopes that this crisis is quicker passes, was pushed aside the taste of rivers and lakes edge not to feel better, tastes one to feel that cannot withstand bitterly and astringently. 可惜今天他注定要站在所有掌门的对面,周羽清暗中唏嘘,真心期盼这场危机快些过去,被排挤到江湖边缘的滋味真不好受,才品尝一口就感到苦涩不堪。 „Crane old deity, several years does not see, you may even more features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality.” “鹤老神仙,十几年不见,您老可越发仙风道骨喽。” „Old deity, heard a while ago immortal body time secure, but many?” “老神仙,听说前段时间仙体次安,可好些了？” „How to follow on a disciple? Is my mistake, I should send for meeting the old deity.” “怎么就一名弟子跟随？是我的错,我应该派人去将老神仙接来的。” „Amitabha, must see the honorable person, trip has not been made in vain.” “阿弥陀佛,得见真人,不虚此行。” ...... …… The first row of five people said several, or warm, or gentle, does not have the aggressive meaning. 第一排的五个人都说了几句,或热情、或平和,没有一点咄咄逼人的意思。 The honorable people are with smile on the face, according to the status of opposite party, or um or or good to give the response, the latter two rows of leaders, he also as far as possible look, even called the childhood name of some leader, that face was all of a sudden red, hereafter has hidden behind the people, is not willing to open the mouth. 真人满面带笑,根据对方的身份,或嗯或啊或好给予回应,就连后两排的掌门,他也尽量照顾到,甚至叫出某位掌门的小名,那人脸一下子红了,此后一直躲在众人后面,不肯开口。 Zhou Yuqing in Kongtong Faction expensive is the leader big disciple, here is actually only accompanying of being busy preparing, the old deity sits him to stand, the old deity drinks tea he to pour water, the old deity spoke he to pay attention to other leaders' responses, in brief does not dare to be negligent. 周羽清在崆峒派内贵为掌门大弟子,在这里却只是忙前忙后的随从,老神仙坐着他站着,老神仙喝茶他倒水,老神仙说话他注意其他掌门的反应,总之一点也不敢大意。 The manor main hall is quite spacious, accommodates dozens people to have more than enough to spare, the sequence order also arranges. 庄园正厅颇为宽敞,容纳数十人绰绰有余,位次也都是安排好的。 After smalltalk, Qingcheng sends to launch an attack first, leader Liang to seal|confer is forty years old, are the fellows in former leader willow green garden, did not have the opportunity to succeed to the throne, the leader contender dies of Northern Court in pairs, he turns misfortune into a blessing, but did not thank Dragon King and Kongtong Faction, never concealed the hostile feeling. 客套过后,青城派最先发难,掌门梁封四十几岁,是前任掌门柳青圃的师弟,本来没机会继位,掌门争夺者双双死于北庭,他因祸得福,但一点也不感谢龙王与崆峒派,从不掩饰敌对情绪。 Liang to seal|confer stands up, slightly cups one hand in the other across the chest to the purple crane honorable person, said: „Nine big school brothers, a school various difficult faction support, but......” 梁封站起身,向紫鹤真人略一拱手,说:“九大门派同气连枝,一派有难各派支援,可……” „Oh.” The honorable people still whole face belt smiled, break fervently expressing views of Qingcheng leader, „says well, Kongtong Faction has difficult at present, just needs the support of various factions, today I am thick the facial skin am coming to request reinforcements.” “嗯嗯。”真人仍然满脸带笑,打断青城掌门的慷慨陈辞,“说得好,眼下崆峒派有难,正需要各派的支援,今天我就是厚着脸皮来向诸位求援来啦。” Liang to seal|confer reddened all over the face, raises the sound saying: „Crane old deity holds on a minute the rescue, explained the first Kongtong Faction disciple colludes with other families and design to kill secretly the martial arts world people of same belief what's the matter.” 梁封满脸通红,抬高声音说:“鹤老神仙且慢救援,还是先解释一下崆峒派弟子勾结外族、设计暗害武林同道是怎么回事吧。” The surprised expression on real face is so lifelike, even/including Zhou the feather almost accepts as true clear, „has this matter? Kongtong Faction which disciple makes so the beauty altogether indignant evil conduct?” 真人脸上的惊讶表情如此逼真,连周羽清都差点信以为真,“有这种事？崆峒派哪个弟子做出如此天人共愤的恶行？” „Fan Yong da, crane old deity thinks that knows who he is?” “范用大,鹤老神仙想必知道他是谁吧？” „He is the disciple grandson of this poor Daoist, heard that was sent to grasp with no reason at all by Qingcheng, when turns into the martial arts world rebels?” “他是贫道的徒孙,听说被青城派无缘无故抓去,什么时候变成武林叛徒啦？” „Lets him.” Liang to seal|confer voice is getting higher and higher, thought the old thing, if continues to install silly, Qingcheng sent only to have no consideration for face in the presence of everyone, some sent to support in the back in any case greatly, the purple crane seniority in relationships was high, age again greatly also uselessly. “让他自己来说。”梁封声音越来越高,心想老东西若是继续装糊涂,青城派就只能当众撕破脸了,反正有各大派在背后支持,紫鹤辈份再高、年纪再大也没用。 Fan Yong da was sent under custody, is hanging the chains from head to foot, on the face completely is the stasis mark, sees this school of leader and doorkeeper from afar, stayed the long time, wants to kneel down, the leg and foot is not agile. 范用大被押送出来,从头到脚都挂着锁链,脸上尽是瘀痕,远远见到本派掌门与监门,呆了半晌,想要下跪,腿脚都不利索了。 The honorable people do not see the disciple grandson, vision sweep to sweep off on palm shop front, finally falls on Cheng Yi. 真人不看徒孙,目光在诸位掌门脸上扫来扫去,最后落在程屹身上。 Cheng Yi the look is awkward, evades not to be possible to evade, must say: „model|pattern Shizhi and Qingcheng send some misunderstanding, is not willing to tie up, has fought one at the scene.” By this suggested that Fan Yong da scar does not receive punishment in the village. 程屹神色尴尬,避无可避,只得说道:“范师侄与青城派有些误会,不肯受缚,当场打了一架。”以此暗示范用大的伤痕并非在庄上受刑而得。 An honorable person word has not returned, sets out to arrive in front of the disciple grandson, lifts the hand to hint him do not open the mouth, then turned around to say to Liang to seal|confer: „Liang Zhangmen claimed that my Kongtong Faction disciple Fan Yong da colludes with other families, excuse me, this ‚are other families’ who?” 真人一言未回,起身走到徒孙面前,抬手示意他不要开口,然后转身向梁封说:“梁掌门声称我崆峒派弟子范用大勾结外族,请问,这个‘外族’是谁？” „Naturally is Dragon King and his Killer(s).” Liang to seal|confer intonation ice-cold, thought that does not need to disguise again politely, „he confessed fully that the old deity can have the words to say?” “当然是龙王和他的杀手。”梁封语调冰冷,觉得没必要再假装客气了,“他自己已经供认不讳,老神仙可有话说？” „Oh, I was old, does not know that the speech does have the person to listen. Um, I have several words actually: Dragon King is not other families, the matter of murder also has nothing to do with him, Fan Yong big and has already not betrayed Master Men, has not damaged the rivers and lakes, I must take away him now.” “唉,我老了,也不知道说话有没有人听。嗯,我倒是有几句话:龙王并非外族,杀人之事也与他无关,范用大并既未背叛师门,也没有为害江湖,我现在就要将他带走。” Then, puts out a hand to grip Fan Yong big front chains, does not see him to make an effort, only listened to one, the chains to break. 说罢,伸手握住范用大胸前锁链,也不见他用力,只听嘣的一声,锁链断了。 Does not break is two sections, but is the whole body chains breaks is dozens sections, scatters place.. 不是断为两截,而是全身锁链断为数十截,散落一地。。 The leaders are surprised all, Zhou Yuqing much worse, he early knows the master to trust unusually Dragon King, may unable to think that the solemn Kongtong Faction leader, will be in front of rivers and lakes person of same belief, openly declared that Dragon King is innocent. 众掌门无不大吃一惊,周羽清尤甚,他早知师父对龙王信任异常,可怎么也想不到堂堂崆峒派掌门,会当着江湖同道的面,公开宣称龙王无罪。 This is not the solution is troublesome, simply is the provocation of disregarding all consequences.( To be continued.) 这不是解决麻烦,简直就是不计后果的挑衅。(未完待续。)
