Five months later, in imperial capital Imperial City, Emperor is reviewing the memorial to the throne in the governing study room. 五个月后,帝都皇城之内,皇帝正在御书房批阅奏章。 Suddenly, a shadow flashes before, falls to his side, the single knee kneels down, both hands hold up a paper respectfully, said lightly: „Luo Family news that your majesty, Cloud Dragon City spreads!” 突然,一道黑影闪现,落到他的身边,单膝跪下,双手恭敬地举起一张纸条,淡淡道:“陛下,云龙城传来的洛家消息！” „Assumes!” “呈上来！” Emperor opens the mouth gently, actually without looking at his one eyes, that person then sets out immediately, handed over the paper respectfully. 皇帝轻轻开口,却没有看他一眼,那人便马上起身,将纸条恭恭敬敬地递了上去。 Emperor received to open, but looked at one, then dragon eye stared, waves the arms about to lose on his face, cursed to make noise: The information that „in the five years, transmits each time is all well, all normal. But this Luo Family on hundred school of thought contending to show off, where their Bone Tempering Realm youngster experts come, how do your information do?” 皇帝接过打开,但只是看了一眼,便龙目一瞪,甩手丢到了他的脸上,大骂出声:“这五年来,每次传来的情报都是一切安好,一切正常。可这次洛家在百家争鸣上大出风头,他们那些锻骨境的少年高手是哪来的,你们的情报又是怎么做的？” „Slightly feudal official knows the crime, asking your majesty to appease anger!” That person rushes to kneel to bend down, frightens trembles. “微臣知罪,请陛下息怒！”那人赶忙跪伏下来,吓得瑟瑟发抖。 Emperor caresses dragon whisker lightly, the anger in eye, is really ordinary just like the volcanic eruption. However quick, he was then quiet, in the eye is flashing the profound ray. 皇帝轻抚龙须,眼中的怒气之甚,宛如火山爆发一般。不过很快,他便平静了下来,眼中闪着深邃的光芒。 But when this situation, gets angry compared with him, is more frightening! 可是这种情况,比起他发怒时,却更加让人胆战心惊！ „Has the news of Zhuo Fan that boy?” The Emperor gloomy sound asked. “有卓凡那小子的消息吗？”皇帝阴声问道。 That person admires in the place, swings the head: „reporting your majesty, has not checked!” 那人拜服在地,直摇脑袋:“启禀陛下,尚未查到！” „Then Dragon Protecting Divine Guard, Gu Santong news?” Emperor then asked. “那么护龙神卫,古三通的消息呢？”皇帝接着问道。 That person of corners of the mouth one shrivelled, cried quickly, trembling said/tunnel: „reporting your majesty, has not checked!” 那人嘴角一瘪,都快哭出来了,颤颤巍巍地道:“启禀陛下,也未查到！” „Luo Family Luo Family, checked for five years unable to find out ; Zhuo Fan Zhuo Fan, checks for five years, cannot check ; Even a Gu Santong such rampant child, arrives at the thing that which can court disaster, you cannot check unexpectedly! Ahem, We raise your group of waste, is actually useful!” Emperor coldly smiles, in the eye killing intent is imposing. “洛家洛家,查了五年查不出;卓凡卓凡,又查五年,查不到;连古三通这么一个嚣张的孩子,走到哪儿都能惹祸的东西,你们居然也查不到！哼哼,朕养你们这帮废物,究竟是有什么用啊！”皇帝冷冷一笑,眼中杀意凛然。 That person rushes to kowtow again and again, begs for mercy saying: „Your majesty forgives, feudal official and other management were disadvantageous, asking your majesty to forgive!” 那人赶忙连连磕头,求饶道:“陛下恕罪,臣等办事不利,请陛下饶命！” „Rolls!” Emperor wields the sleeves, drinks to make noise coldly. “滚下去！”皇帝一挥衣袖,冷喝出声。 That person rushed to do obeisance three to do obeisance again, tumbles to escape: „Thanked your majesty, thanked your majesty......” 那人赶忙再拜三拜,连滚带爬地逃了出去:“谢陛下,谢陛下……” Deeply inspires, Emperor raises the head to look at the day, in the eye none is sparkling: „Gu Santong and Zhuo Fan are also missing, that news real, did they really all die in Thunderbolt Gorge?” 深深地吸了一口气,皇帝仰首望天,眼中精光烁烁:“古三通和卓凡同时失踪,难道那个消息是真的,他们真的全在落雷峡遇难了？” „Perhaps if that was true, Gu Santong also even, the boy was very unsettled, disappears in world since then, but also is meddlesome! However, that Zhuo Fan has not completed Us to give his duty, died to finish was a pity really! However this boy also is really impressive, unexpectedly can a poor and blank third-class family, build present such wind and cloud aristocratic family, was really the miracle! Does not know now this Luo Family, without Zhuo Fan, but can also meet Our requirements, hehe......” “若真是这样的话,古三通也就算了,那小子不安定得很,也许从此在世间消失,还算好事！但是,那卓凡还没完成朕交给他的任务,死了却着实可惜！不过这小子也真是令人惊叹,居然能够将一个一穷二白的三流家族,打造成如今这样的风云世家,也实属奇迹了！只是不知现在这个洛家,在没有卓凡的情况下,还能否达到朕的要求,呵呵呵……” The Emperor chuckle makes noise, in the laughter was short of a frankness of Emperor, were many a deceit of fierce and ambitious. 皇帝轻笑出声,笑声中少了一份帝王的爽朗,多了一份枭雄的奸诈。 In this time, a guard is arriving in front of Emperor, kneels crouches/submits say/way: „reporting your majesty, Dragon Protecting Divine Guard Sir Gu Santong came back!” 正在这时,一名护卫来到皇帝面前,跪伏道:“启禀陛下,护龙神卫古三通大人回来了！” ! 呃！ The laughter stops suddenly, Emperor hesitates, sighed, waved saying: „Knew!” However on the face, as if has little is not quick! 笑声戛然而止,皇帝沉吟一阵,叹口气,挥挥手道:“知道了！”但是脸上,似乎有少许不快！ Oh, the troublesome fellow has not disappeared from world...... 唉,麻烦的家伙还是没有从世间消失啊…… Meanwhile, before a big city gate, the familiar form appeared together. Lifts to look, above the right views city gate is actually carving three mature and powerful large characters, Cloud Dragon City! 与此同时,一座高大的城门前,一道熟悉的身影出现了。抬首望去,却正见城门上方刻着三个苍劲有力的大字,云龙城！ When legend this was the current imperial family, Yuwen Clan dispatched troops into battle to found a nation in the past the place of increasing the family fortunes, therefore every hundred years time hundred school of thought contending, all held here! 传说这是当今皇室,宇文家族当年起兵建国时的发家之地,所以每百年一次的百家争鸣,也全都在这里举行！ „Oh, is too long in the time in Thunderbolt Gorge staying, hopes that is not late, that fellows may not be punched to return to one's old home by others all of a sudden!” Zhuo Fan binds under a black cloak, the deep sigh makes noise, rushes to walk toward the city. “唉,在落雷峡中呆的时间太长,希望来得不算迟,那帮家伙可千万别一下子就被人家揍回老家啊！”卓凡裹在一件黑色的披风之下,长叹出声,赶忙向城里走去。 Around the city, all has the army to guard, actually does not limit the difference communication! 城池周围,皆有军队把守,却不限制出入来往！ Mainly is this grand meeting, is the entire empire family's grand meeting, everyone naturally can come and go out freely watches, or participates in this to hundred school of thought contend. 主要是这次盛会,乃是整个帝国家族的盛会,所有人自然可以自由出入观看,或者参加这百家争鸣。 But the primary mission of army, prevents the private war between families, particularly Seven Families Under The Emperor. Once fights, is easy to cause the turbulence in entire empire. 而军队的主要任务,乃是防止家族间的私斗,尤其是御下七家。一旦斗起来,就容易引起整个帝国的动荡。 As the matter stands, this time was sent to guard the person of this city, was vivid. 这样一来,这次被派来驻守这座城池的人,也呼之欲出了。 In the entire empire, can shock Seven Families Under The Emperor, only has Four Pillars second Marshal Universe, war-god Dugu Zhantian! 整个帝国之中,能够震慑住御下七家的,只有四柱第二的天宇大元帅,战神独孤战天！ However Zhuo Fan has not wanted to meet with this old man now, therefore low-key surface-to-underwater! 不过卓凡现在还不想跟这老头碰面,于是低调地潜了进去！ Enters in the city, Zhuo Fan then dumbfounded completely, because here was too lively, sea of people. Even compared with Rain of Flowers City that Hundred Pills Grand Meeting, but must live it up ten times to continue. 一入城内,卓凡便是完全呆住了,因为这里实在太热闹了,人山人海。即使比起花雨城的那次百丹盛会,还要热闹十倍不止。 However thinks also right, Rain of Flowers City that can Hundred Pills Grand Meeting, how many families attract? This hundred school of thought contended, the family that but wanted to make a rapid career advance the entire empire, attracted, thinks that was not lively difficultly also! 不过想想也对,花雨城的那次百丹盛会,才能吸引几个家族？这百家争鸣,可是将整个帝国想要飞黄腾达的家族,都吸引来了,想不热闹也难啊！ However, he may not have the time to watch the fun on the avenue. The urgent matter, he must find the Luo Family position immediately, the determination present situation! 不过,他可没工夫在大街上看热闹。当务之急,他必须马上找到洛家的位置,确定现在的情况！ But has not needed he to step onto several steps, noises actually spread to his ear suddenly: „Fenglin City Luo Family the 27 victories in a row, have entered the second-class aristocratic family finals, becomes this time hundred school of thought contends the biggest dark horse!” 可是还不待他走上几步,一声声喧嚣却是陡然传入了他的耳内:“风临城洛家已经27连胜,晋级二流世家决赛,成为本次百家争鸣最大黑马！” The brow selects unconsciously, Zhuo Fan goes following the prestige, actually sees that is within the noisy small tavern, therefore goes gradually, wants to look at an outcome. 眉头不觉一挑,卓凡循声望去,却见那是间嘈杂的小酒馆,于是缓步前去,想看个究竟。 May enter, Zhuo Fan then felt that immediately a strong liquor air/Qi front surface throws, a babel of voices. One group of big masters stripped shake the fist to yell, does not know is quarrelling anything. 可一进入其中,卓凡便登时感到一股浓重的酒气迎面扑来,人声鼎沸。一群大老爷们光着膀子挥拳大叫,不知在吵着什么。 In the tavern main entrance surface, is putting up a spacious gambling table, on the back wall surface is pasting each family's name and city, even rank. One group of people sit on that gambling table, non-stop betting. 酒馆正门面上,架着一张宽大的赌桌,背后墙面上则是贴着各个家族的名字和城池,甚至还有等级。一群人就坐在那赌桌上,不停下注。 Naturally, various family odds are also different. 当然,各家族赔率也不一样。 Lifts to look, Zhuo Fan discovered unexpectedly, on that unexpectedly also the given names of seven aristocratic families, even representative the nickname of talent disciple also inscribed. 抬首望去,卓凡竟发现,那上面居然还有七世家的名讳,甚至连代表的天才弟子的诨号也写上了。 „Flying Cold Phoenix Rain of Flowers Building and Winged Dragon Passing Through the Forest Merry Forest and Golden Armored Sword Dragon Sword Marquis Mansion......” Zhuo Fan muttered one word at a time makes noise, but startled called out finally suddenly: „Soaring Demon Dragon Black Wind Mountain, whose nickname is this?” “飞天寒凤花雨楼、穿林翼龙快活林、金甲剑龙剑侯府……”卓凡一字一顿地喃喃出声,但是最后却是突然惊叫道:“冲天魔龙黑风山,这是谁的诨号？” A young male servant on that gambling table, sees Zhuo Fan so to make much ado about nothing, disdain curls the lip, scoffs to say with a smile: „Country bumpkin, you from mountain, even Fenglin City, Black Wind Mountain Luo Family, had/left Soaring Demon Dragon Zhuo Fan, doesn't know?” 那赌桌上的一个小厮,见卓凡如此大惊小怪,不屑地撇了撇嘴,嗤笑道:“乡巴佬,你从山里来的吧,连风临城,黑风山洛家,出了个冲天魔龙卓凡,都不知道？” Zhuo Fan speechless, flexure the head, when did he have the Soaring Demon Dragon nickname? 卓凡一阵哑然,挠了挠脑袋,他什么时候有个冲天魔龙的诨号了？ As if sees him not to understand, the young male servant sighed, explained: „You were also too ignorant, this Demon King Zhuo Fan caused havoc Rain of Flowers City in the past, who the world does not know that who didn't understand? Now heard that he must participate to hundred school of thought contend on behalf of Luo Family, naturally must keep pace with six dragons one phoenix, therefore some people had the Soaring Demon Dragon nickname to him, seems like move of martial skill that was from him to use at that time!” 似乎见他还是不理解,那小厮叹口气,解释道:“你也太无知了吧,这魔王卓凡当年大闹花雨城,天下谁人不知谁人不晓？现在听说他要代表洛家来参加百家争鸣,自然要与六龙一凤并驾齐驱,所以有人就给他起了个冲天魔龙的诨号,似乎是取自他当时用的一招武技！” „Fart!” “放屁！” However, the young male servant has not said, a guy then curses a sound said: „Purely nonsense, although in the past Demon King Zhuo Fan in Rain of Flowers City, using move of Demon Dragon Soaring to Heaven to kill Emperor Sect second young master, but the meaning of this nickname, is actually represents him to change into Soaring Demon Dragon, breaks through the vault of heaven, challenges seven aristocratic family millenniums authority! What does not know, do not explain to others randomly, misleads the youth!” 然而,那小厮还未说完,一个大汉便大骂一声道:“纯粹胡说八道,虽然当年魔王卓凡在花雨城,用了一招魔龙冲天杀了帝王门的二公子,但这个诨号的意思,其实是意指他将化为冲天魔龙,冲破天穹,挑战七世家千年来的权威！什么都不知道,就不要给人家乱解释,误人子弟！” The Zhuo Fan slight nod, thought that this second explanation is more reasonable. 卓凡微微点头,觉得这第二个解释更加合理。 A paternal grandmother bear, who dares to obstruct a day above the father, the father him to the pulp, this looks like the father attitude. Ha haha...... Soaring Demon Dragon, father likes! 奶奶个熊,谁敢在老子头上遮一片天,老子就把他冲个稀巴烂,这才像老子作风。哈哈哈……冲天魔龙,老子喜欢！ But also but, does not need he to reveal the wild with joy color, the young male servant actually quenches, curses to say to that guy: „You talk nonsense, even that Demon King Zhuo Fan is fierce, where can compete with seven prestige by his strength? Seven stand erect the Universe millenniums, is not the ordinary person. You had not heard, the Luo Family backstage is Sword Marquis Mansion, Hidden Dragon Pavilion and Rain of Flowers Building? I estimated that when Luo Family arrives finally seven fought a decisive battle, still as these three attached family will enter the war!” 可是,还不待他露出狂喜之色,那小厮却又是一淬,对那大汉大骂道:“你才放屁呢,就算那魔王卓凡再厉害,以他一人之力哪能敌得过七家之威？七家屹立天宇千年,可不是等闲之辈。难道你没听说,洛家的后台就是剑侯府、潜龙阁和花雨楼吗？我估计,就算洛家最后到了七家决战之时,也会以这三家的附属家族身份参战！” Bump! 碰！ Suddenly, Zhuo Fan patted the desktop rapidly, the complexion cold, cloudy say/way: „Who told you, was Luo Family they three attached families? Told you, this Luo Family by an independent status, will compete with seven together, will not hide under any asylum, you waited to favor to me!” 突然,卓凡一拍桌面,脸色迅速冷了下来,阴沉沉道:“谁告诉你们,洛家是他们三个的附属家族？告诉你们,这次洛家将会以独立的一家身份,与七家共同竞争,绝不会躲在任何一家的庇护之下,你们给我等着看好了！” One cold, two people all are look perplexed to Zhuo Fan. This person relates with Luo Family what, why so dark horse of maintenance this new promote? 不由一凛,二人皆是不明所以地看向卓凡。此人跟洛家什么关系,干嘛如此维护这个新晋的黑马呢？ But also but, does not need they to laugh to make noise, scolds the Zhuo Fan brain to be sick, old laughing is actually resounds before the people ear suddenly: „Hehe...... good, Luo Family is by a strength, challenges the millennium invariable customs. Otherwise, hundred school of thought contended finally, each time was seven wars, too to be how could it not be senseless?” 可是,还不待他们嗤笑出声,骂卓凡脑子有病,一声苍老的大笑却是突然在众人耳前响起:“呵呵呵……不错,洛家就是要以一家之力,挑战千年不变的规矩。否则的话,百家争鸣到最后,每次都是七家之战,岂不太无趣了？” The body shakes unconsciously, Zhuo Fan rushes to turn around to look, actually the right views three old forms stand in him behind. Moreover their three people are like him, is throwing over a cloak, hidden the figure. 身子不觉一抖,卓凡赶忙转身看去,却正见三道苍老的身影站在他身后。而且他们三人跟他一样,都披着一件披风,隐藏身形。 The most middle old person, raised the head slowly, revealed the profound vision, looked that grins to Zhuo Fan says with a smile: „Butler Zhuo, the old man and your spiritual bond for a long time, we meet today finally. Below empire prime minister Zhuge Changfeng, facilitates a to chat?” 最中间的一位老人,缓缓抬起头来,露出了深邃的目光,看向卓凡咧嘴一笑道:“卓管家,老夫与你神交已久,今日我们终于见面了。在下帝国丞相诸葛长风,方便一叙吗？” The eye pupil shrinks unconsciously fiercely, Zhuo Fan deeply looked at his one eyes, under the heart was astonished however. 眼瞳不觉猛地一缩,卓凡深深地看了他一眼,心下讶然。 He has not thought, the Head of the Four Pillars prime minister, Zhuge Changfeng, the personally brings upon oneself him! Looks again to his side two old men, the aura hidden does not send, absolutely is in the world the scarce peerless expert. 他万万没想到,四柱之首的丞相,诸葛长风,会亲自找上他！再看向他身边的两位老者,气息隐而不发,绝对是世上稀少的绝世高手。 Therefore deeply inspires, Zhuo Fan slight nod. Zhuge Changfeng sprinkled however smiles, gave the hand signal of invitation, then arrived around liquor table to be implicated under with Zhuo Fan together. 于是深吸口气,卓凡微微点头。诸葛长风洒然一笑,做了个请的手势,便和卓凡一同来到了旁边一张酒桌旁坐下。 Another two old men, stand side Zhuge Changfeng, the double pupil flashes suddenly, an invisible aerosphere wraps two people immediately in inside. Outside noise could not hear again, but inside speaking voice, the outside world is similarly unobservable. 另外两位老者,站在诸葛长风身边,双瞳骤然一闪,一股无形的气层登时将二人包裹在里面。外面的噪音再也听不到了,而里面的说话声,外界同样难以察觉。 But to others, these four people are actually no different, as if sits there chats. But the young male servant and guy look at four people, is bewildered, later then shakes the head, no longer looked. 可是对其他所有人来说,这四个人却没什么不同,仿佛就是在那里坐着闲聊罢了。而那小厮和大汉看着四人,也是莫名其妙,之后便摇摇头,不再看了。 Under the Zhuo Fan heart startles greatly, dreaded to these two old men, such strength, can isolate the outside world with ease, is not the common Sprit Illumination expert can achieve. Even the Sprit Illumination peak, cannot! 卓凡心下大骇,对这两位老者更加忌惮,这样的实力,能够轻松将外界隔离,可不是一般神照高手能达到的。即便是神照巅峰,也万万不能！ This two people, studied certainly some special cultivation technique, is seriously highly regarded! 此二人,一定是修习了某种特殊的功法,当真不可小觑！ Looks at this Zhuge Changfeng again, although only then Heavenly Profound two layers boundary cultivation base, but the side expert is numerous, the outstandingly able person pours forth, its fearful is not under seven any seriously. 再看这诸葛长风,虽然只有天玄二重境修为,但身边高手众多,奇人辈出,其可怕当真不在七家任何一家之下。 Head of the Four Pillars, deserves...... 四柱之首,当之无愧……
