These words have brought in yacketing of numerous teashop customer, everyone assumes an air of self approbation, with having the glory, hits probably the Imperial Court tax officer, is their greatest honor is the same. 这句话又引来了众多茶客的哄堂大笑,每个人都摇头晃脑,与有荣焉,好像将朝廷的税官打回去,是他们莫大的光荣一样。 Smiles, they while threw „concern mentally retarded child” to Li Yao look. 一边笑着,他们一边对李耀投来了“关爱弱智儿童”的眼神。 In the Li Yao belly has the countless words, wants to these long-term malnutritions, thus is dark and thin, is covered with the scabies, described dreadfully, was two species ordinary people said with cultivator completely. 李耀肚子里有千言万语,想要对这些长期营养不良,因而黑黑瘦瘦,长满疥疮,形容猥琐,和修真者完全是两个物种的普通人说。 However under their such look gazes, the thought gets out of trouble for a long time, does not know how eventually should mention. 然而在他们这样的眼神注视下,念头兜兜转转了半天,终究不知道该如何说起。 After leaving the teahouse, under the direction of that teaching mister, he went to a local it is said incense and candle extremely prosperous temple roaming. 离开茶肆之后,在那教书先生的指引下,他又去了本地据说香火极旺的神庙一游。 Coast Witch River, the theocracy is extremely heavy, the incense and candle is exuberant, each cities village, even in the remote mountain jungle, has the temple, Daoist temple and ancestral temple. 巫江沿岸,神权极重,香火旺盛,各个城镇村寨,甚至深山密林中,都多有神庙、道观和祠堂。 However these theocracy incense and candles is, consecrates mostly is not illusory god Buddha, but is local Sect, in the motion of Slaying Fiends and Eliminating Demons, heroic death cultivator. 不过这些神权香火的所在,所供奉的大多不是虚无缥缈的神佛,而是本地宗派,在斩妖除魔的行动中,壮烈牺牲的修真者。 It is said cultivator after fallen, a hero soul does not extinguish, so long as obtains the incense and candle to consecrate, will protect the borders and set people's minds at ease as before, shelters a Fang Ping secure. 据说修真者在陨落之后,一丝英灵不灭,只要得到香火供奉,依旧会保境安民,庇护一方平安。 Therefore, after Stone Military Sect cultivator dies, if cultivation base and status extremely high, will build their temples, even if strength mean Low Rank cultivator, will deploy to each ancestral temple, forever will enjoy the incense and candle to consecrate. 所以,石武门的修真者死后,倘若修为和地位都极高者,就会建立他们自己的神庙,即或是实力低微的低阶修士,也会配属到各个祠堂之中,永享香火供奉。 The village various strongholds of this place, have more than one temple or the ancestral temple, often is in the village is biggest the majestic construction, blue brick, the Shishi copper gate, forms the striking contrast with the mud wigwam that nearby declines lowly. 此地的各村各寨,都有不止一处神庙或者祠堂,往往是村寨中最高大堂皇的建筑,青砖曼瓦,石狮铜门,和附近低矮破落的烂泥棚屋形成鲜明对比。 In each temple or the ancestral temple, are consecrating the 3-5 cultivator hero soul. 每一处神庙或者祠堂中,都供奉着三五名修真者的英灵。 This is the scarcest thing, whenever Stone Military Sect has cultivator fallen, will bring in competitions of nearby areas all villages and small towns, everybody puts out the richest condition, hopes that receives and instructs own villages and small towns the hero soul. 这是最紧俏的东西,每当石武门有一名修真者陨落,就会引来十里八乡所有村镇的争夺,大家都拿出最丰厚的条件,希望将英灵接引到自己的村镇去。 Consecrates the hero soul many, is a symbol of villages and small towns strength! 供奉英灵的多少,便是一个村镇实力的象征！ In the temple of Li Yao visit, altogether sacrificial offering four cultivator, including a Stone Military Sect elder and Sect Master, calls makes „four Confucian temples”, it is said is a nearby areas largest temple, no wonder the countryman will say that this place incense and candle is exuberant, was extremely effective. 李耀参观的这一处神庙中,总共祭祀了四名修真者,其中包括石武门的一名长老和一名掌门,唤作“四圣庙”,据说是十里八乡规模最大的一座神庙,怪不得乡民会说此地香火旺盛,极其灵验了。 In four Confucian temples, four cultivator unpainted clay idol idols, spread the full diamond dust, but also was engraving several stimulation to dazzle the light in secret, seven color Glyph Array numerous, poured also somewhat the fairyism to wind around, lifelike meaning, if made the ignorant countryman see at night, regarding was the hero's soul manifests a spirit is not strange. 四圣庙中,有四名修真者的泥胎偶像,涂满金粉,还在暗中镌刻了几座激发炫光,七彩纷呈的符阵,倒也有几分仙气缭绕,栩栩如生的意思,倘若夜间让无知乡民见了,当成是英魂显灵也不奇怪。 Several bronze medals, are actually engraving these cultivator facts, especially fallen reason. 还有几块铜牌,却是镌刻着这些修真者的事迹,特别是陨落的原因。 Li Yao carefully looked, three cultivator, in the mountain forest neutralization ominous beast slaughters fallen, that Foundation Establishment Stage peak realm Sect Master, actually in pursuing one flees in all directions to local formidable Evil Cultivator, was killed by the enemy. 李耀仔细看了一下,三名修真者,都是在山林中和凶兽厮杀时陨落的,那名筑基期巅峰境界的掌门,却是在追击一名流窜到本地的强大邪修时,被对方杀死。 These fallen facts, making Li Yao not know how should say. 这些陨落事迹,让李耀不知该怎么说了。 Cultivation Sect, is obviously impossible only to depend on the land and other taxes of nearby areas to earn a living, wants the cultivation words, mainly must go to the remote mountains and ancient forests to hunt and kill Spirit Beast and Fiend Beast, gains their flesh and spirit pill and Fiend Core, unearths various Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure and crystal spirit ore again comes out, this is Sect the foundation of foothold. 修炼宗派,显然不可能只靠十里八乡的租税来过活,想要修炼的话,主要还是要去深山老林里猎杀灵兽、妖兽,获取他们的血肉和灵丹、妖丹,再挖掘各种天材地宝和晶石灵矿出来,这才是一个宗派的立足之本。 Therefore, Stone Military Sect walks into the mountain „Slaying Fiends and Eliminating Demons”, is the school survival and need to develop, actually not pure „enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven”. 所以,石武门进山去“斩妖除魔”,是门派生存和发展的需要,倒不是纯粹的“替天行道”。 However objectively, indeed is these cultivator for several hundred years advances uninterruptedly, fears no sacrifice and Devil ghost and fierce and cruel people competes for the existing space, is the ordinary person develops the land that a piece has been able to live reluctantly. 但是从客观上来说,的确是这些修真者数百年来前赴后继,不怕牺牲地和妖魔鬼怪、豺狼虎豹争夺生存空间,才为普通人开拓出了一片能勉强活下来的土地。 When Devil and oppressor descend the mountain to wreak havoc, when or outside Evil Cultivator flees in all directions, Stone Military Sect „immortal master”, does not have ambiguously. 当妖魔和虎狼下山肆虐,又或者外地邪修流窜进来时,石武门的“仙师”们,也是没有含糊过。 Therefore, must ask that Stone Military Sect cultivator does have the contribution to the ordinary person, Li Yao really did not have the means to thrust out the face to say „not”. 所以,要问石武门的修真者对此间的普通人有没有贡献,李耀也实在没办法腆着脸说“没有”。 „Stone Military Sect cultivator, is put on a high and mighty act to the common people today, is bossy, does not spare a glance, looked like hateful to the extreme.” “一名石武门的修真者,今天对老百姓趾高气昂,颐指气使,不屑一顾,看起来可恶到了极点。” „Perhaps tomorrow he will walk into the mountain to slaughter with Devil, unfortunately fallen!” “但说不定明天他就进山和妖魔厮杀,不幸陨落了！” „Subjectively, he naturally is pure for oneself cultivation, is collects various Fiend Core, animal bones and types of efficacious medicines, simply has not considered the interests of common people \; However objectively, he pays with the life, truly to protect the borders and set people's minds at ease, makes one point of small contribution!” “主观上,他当然是单纯为了自己的修炼,是去采集妖丹、兽骨和各种灵药而已,根本没有考虑过老百姓的利益\;但是客观上,他付出生命,也确实为了保境安民,做出一分小小的贡献！” „This kind of Ancient Cultivator, is actually a good person, is the unprincipled person?” “这样一名古修,究竟算是好人,还是坏人呢？” At once, Li Yao cannot find out this issue the answer. 一时之间,李耀想不出这个问题的答案。 Let alone, this hasn't Ancient Cultivator a wee bit considered the interests of common people really? 更何况,这名古修是真的一丁点都没有考虑过老百姓的利益么？ Stone Military Sect cultivator mostly from the nearby areas, is the locally born native. 石武门的修真者大多来自十里八乡,是土生土长的本地人。 Many cultivator 80 old mothers and three -year-old children are the ordinary people, all lives here. 不少修真者的80老母和三岁儿女都是普通人,全都住在这里。 Once the ominous beast and Devil descend the mountain to wreak havoc really in groups, these cultivator families will be hit by the total destruction similarly. 一旦凶兽和妖魔真的成群结队下山肆虐,这些修真者的家族同样会遭受灭顶之灾。 Slaying Fiends and Eliminating Demons of these cultivator when the mountain forest, only considered really purely own benefit, does not have a wee bit „security hometown” sentiment in inside? 这些修真者在山林中斩妖除魔之时,是真的纯粹只考虑自己一个人的利益,没有一丁点“保卫家乡”的感情在里面吗？ The person non- vegetation, who can be heartless, the matter in world, how could uses several characters to judge „to wrong, quality” simply! 人非草木,孰能无情,世间之事,岂能用简单“对错、好坏”几个字来判断啊！ Li Yao sighed secretly, hesitant was very long, finally by a Modern Cultivator status, to four Ancient Cultivator that these four unpainted clay idol idols represent, deeply salutes, was calling one at heart respectfully: „Senior!” 李耀暗暗叹了一口气,犹豫了很久,终于还是以一名现代修真者的身份,向这四尊泥胎偶像所代表的四名古修,深深一施礼,在心里恭恭敬敬地叫了一声:“前辈！” In any event, these Ancient Cultivator representatives, are the Human Race Civilization history, was all Modern Cultivator pasts. 无论如何,这些古修代表的,就是人类文明的历史,就是所有现代修真者的过去。 Has not passed, where has the future? 没有过去,哪有未来？ When is wanting to turn around to depart, Li Yao notes a detail. 正欲转身离去时,李耀注意到一个细节。 In front of four unpainted clay idol idols, consecrates the sacrificial offering that dozens roast chickens, pickled meat, steamed stuffed bun and azure group, are doing fragrant and so on. 四尊泥胎偶像前面,供奉着几十盘烧鸡、糟肉、包子、青团、香干之类的祭品。 Li Yao knows, at the impoverished degree of this place countryman, usually could not drink the millet gruel, the roast chicken, pickled meat and wheat flour steamed stuffed bun and so on, the unsurpassed delicacy that the new year's celebration do not think. 李耀知道,以此地乡民的贫困程度,平素是连小米粥都喝不起的,烧鸡、糟肉、白面包子之类,更是连过年都不要想的无上珍馐。 The countrymen are four unpainted clay idol idols buy these things, does not know that has spent many painstaking care, has made many efforts, has represented many intentions! 乡民们为四尊泥胎偶像置办来这些东西,不知费了多少心血,下了多少力气,代表了多少心意！ However, these things, actually in front of unpainted clay idol idol slowly corrupt, finally on cheap snakes, insects, mice and ants. 然而,这些东西,却是在泥胎偶像前面慢慢腐败,最后就便宜了蛇虫鼠蚁。 Outside the temple stands several clothes not to obstruct the body, dishevelled hair and dirty face, such as the beggar common young child, is actually standing on tiptoes the tip of the toe, is flowing the saliva, stares to stare at these sacrificial offerings to look, looks helplessly the roast chicken and pickled meat ruin little, actually does not dare to go forward, even if licking. 神庙外面站着几名衣不遮体,蓬头垢面,如叫花子一般的小童,却是踮着脚尖,流着口水,直勾勾盯着这些祭品看,眼睁睁看着烧鸡和糟肉一点点败坏掉,却不敢上前哪怕舔上一口。 Li Yao hears the thunderous agitation that in the young children belly has sent out. 李耀听到了小童们肚子里发出的雷鸣鼓动。 heart just raised a favorable impression of faint trace to Ancient Cultivator, was suppressed instantaneously. 心底刚刚升起一丝丝对古修的好感,瞬间又被打压下去。 At this time, outside village hears a wailing sound, the weeping sound like will infect, not for a while, entire village, even nearby several villages were submerged by the weeping sound continually. 此时,外面的村寨又传来一阵嚎啕大哭声,哭声像是会传染一样,不一时,整座村寨,甚至连附近好几座村寨都被哭声淹没。 When Li Yao exits the temple looked, actually sees the entire village to shoulder over a hundred white Fan, many common people ripe wind throw over the hemp to wear mourning clothes. 李耀转出神庙去看时,却见整座村寨已经挑起了上百面白幡,不少百姓都熟络至极地披麻戴孝。 „The day before yesterday the Stone Military Sect thunder elder led 20 new promote immortal master walking into the mountain smelting trial, unfortunately alarmed one to be dormant underground for dozens years, strange python that soon will melt the flood dragon, thunder elder and six new promote immortal master fallen, fallen!” “前日石武门的雷长老率领20名新晋仙师进山试炼,不幸惊动一条蛰伏地底数十载,即将化蛟的怪蟒,雷长老和六名新晋仙师陨落了,陨落了！” In the entire Stone Military City range, the surrounding area several hundred li (0.5 km), the artillery sound, cries repeatedly a piece. 整座石武城范围内,方圆数百里,连声炮响,哭成一片。 ...... …… Li Yao with day of time, tracing and kill[ed] on that head steadily a strange python of red lump, and has pulled out the thunder elders and three Qi Refining Stage cultivator skeleton from its abdomen, restrains carefully them, while starry night nobody time, puts the road intersections at the foot of the hill three main roads. 李耀用一天时间,追踪并斩杀了那条脑袋上长着一颗红瘤的怪蟒,并从它腹部掏出了雷长老及三名炼气期修真者的尸骸,将他们细细收敛起来,趁着星夜无人的时候,放到山脚下三条大路的交叉口。 After their three bows, this have mixed feelings returned to the Witch River wharf, above own light vessel. 对他们三鞠躬之后,这才心情复杂地回到了巫江码头,自己的轻舟之上。 Hereafter east, the inspection along the river cities, actually receive the haughtiness from modern Civilization, putting oneself in another's place stood in the local indigenous angle views the issue. 此后一路东去,考察沿江城镇,却是收起了来自现代文明的狂傲,更加设身处地地站在本地土著的角度来看待问题。 East the great river, later 10-20 cities are almost the same, are centered on Cultivation Sect, expands again outward, but cultivator indeed keeps aloof, bluffs and blusters, dominates existence above imperial authority. 大江东去,之后一二十座城镇都相差无几,以一个个修炼宗派为中心,再向外扩张,而修真者的确是高高在上,耀武扬威,凌驾于皇权之上的存在。 But the entire Witch River middle and upper reaches landforms, and that „Stone Military City” peripheral is almost the same, mountain Gaolin is dense, the ominous beast and Devil are numerous, without cultivator and Devil, ghost, oppressor and dragon snake preying, the ordinary person does not go on living. 但整个巫江中上游的地貌,都和那“石武城”周边相差无几,山高林密,凶兽和妖魔众多,没有修真者和妖魔、鬼怪、虎狼、龙蛇的搏杀,普通人根本就活不下去。 If Li Yao is the local farmer family background, facing ferocious Devil and oppressor, except for hope to repose in „immortal master”, how can also? 假使李耀是本地农民出身的话,面对穷凶极恶的妖魔和虎狼,除了将希望全都寄托在“仙师”身上,又能如何呢？ If Li Yao is local cultivator, perhaps to this relations, will not have the least bit guilty conscience, instead will think oneself are protects the borders and sets people's minds at ease, defends traditional moral principles except the demon, cultivation is so laborious, daily has the danger of dying a violent death, the common people worships itself, consecrates itself, awes itself, natural? 倘若李耀是本地修真者,对这种关系,恐怕也不会产生半点负罪感,反而会觉得自己是保境安民,除魔卫道,修炼这么辛苦,天天都有死于非命的危险,老百姓崇拜自己,供奉自己,敬畏自己,岂不是理所当然的么？ This truth, how said that did not say clearly! 这个道理,却是怎么讲,都讲不清楚啊！ Several days later, they drove out of mountain Gaolin to be dense finally, middle and upper reaches of river current winding Witch River, entered the Witch River middle and lower reaches hills and plains. 数日之后,他们终于驶出了山高林密、江流曲折的巫江中上游,进入巫江中下游的丘陵和平原。 Arrived here, gradually entered the Great Qian Spiritual Qi richest southeast rich place, the development degree greatly promotes, naturally does not have that many primitive jungles, did not have that many Devil ghosts and fierce and cruel people. 到了这里,就逐渐进入大乾灵气最浓郁的东南膏腴之地,开发程度大大提升,自然没那么多原始丛林,也没那么多妖魔鬼怪和豺狼虎豹了。 Here hill and farmland, opportunistically highly were used, is very difficult to look including a fallow land of fingernail size. 这里的丘陵和农田,都被见缝插针地高度利用,连一片指甲盖大小的荒田都很难找出来。 After the millenniums annexations and accumulations, the majority of paddies and mountain forest are the local wealthy and powerful family common surname, the tenant farmer cultivates to the farmer again. 经过千年的兼并和积累,大部分田地和山林都属于当地的豪族大姓,再佃给农民来耕种。 But wealthy and powerful family common surname, then attaches to some in Cultivation Sect, many Spiritual Qi are richer, quality best „Spirit Field”, belongs to Cultivation Sect, not falls in the truth to ordinary person hand certainly. 而豪族大姓,则又依附于某个修炼宗派,更有不少灵气浓郁,品质最佳的“灵田”,就是直属于修炼宗派所有,绝无落到普通人手中的道理。 Here few people are thick, inch of land worth an inch of gold, the majority of Cultivation Sect sphere of influence is jig-saw patterned, pesters stubbornly together. 这里地少人稠,寸土寸金,大部分修炼宗派的势力范围都犬牙交错,死死纠缠在一起。 Therefore, the Witch River middle and lower reaches Cultivation Sect biggest enemies, no longer are Devil and oppressor, but is-- other Cultivation Sect! 所以,巫江中下游修炼宗派最大的敌人,就不再是妖魔和虎狼,而是——其他修炼宗派！ Here, Li Yao first time experienced battles between two Cultivation Sect. 在这里,李耀第一次见识到了两个修炼宗派之间的争斗。 Under the leadership of 7-8 Foundation Establishment cultivator, about hundred Qi Refining Stage cultivator are raising the respective Sect war flag, is similar to two crowds of violent angers oppressor, dashed one ruthlessly, the blade blade seized the life, the sword sword bewitches, very ruthless, did not have the face of least bit fellow daoist to say. 在七八名筑基修士的带领下,近百名炼气期修真者打着各自宗派的战旗,如同两群暴怒的虎狼,狠狠冲撞到了一起,刀刀夺命,剑剑勾魂,狠辣至极,全无半点道友的情面可讲。 Short less than half time's open fight between factions, altogether fallen three Foundation Establishment cultivator, more than 20 Qi Refining cultivator. 短短小半个时辰的火并,就一共陨落了三名筑基修士,20多名炼气修士。 But cause, not for any peerless divine ability, not for any Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, unexpectedly for a cow, ordinary farm cattle! 而起因,既不是为了什么绝世神通,也不是为了什么天材地宝,竟然只是为了一头牛,一头普普通通的耕牛！ --------------- --------------- Excuse me everybody, accompanies the wife to go to the technique , after today reexamined, delays to come back in the afternoon, therefore renewed late. 不好意思各位,今天陪老婆去术后复查了,耽搁到下午才回来,所以更新晚了。 Today is three, relax ~ 今天还是三更,放心吧~
