The north wind drifts in the wind, the leaf falls the cold winter. The weather is getting more and more bright, on the boundary ridge between fields, many farmers are busy the winter planting. 北风飘拂,叶落寒冬。天色越来越亮,田埂上,不少农人正忙着冬种。 The young children are raising the egg, tightened the hempen garments, the face froze red. 小童提着鸡蛋,紧了紧麻衣,脸冻得通红。 „I will be sensitive to cold unexpectedly...” “我竟会怕冷…” The young child surprise, this feeling, he always felt, have several 100 years has not realized. 小童诧异,这种感觉,他总感觉,已有数百年未曾体会的。 The outskirts have a yellow birch forest, in the forests is setting up a thatched house, a school. 村头有一片红桦林,林间立着一间草庐,一间学塾。 In the school, in the old room, hears the sound of immature recitation distantly. 学塾之中,吱呀的老屋中,遥遥传来稚嫩的朗诵之声。 „At the beginning of immortal, is surnamed the itself/Ben not to have, the ascending to heaven road, enters sea map, Magic Force is broad, non- may admire, Dao Heart is firm, stares at only then...” “仙之初,姓本无,登天路,入海图,法力广,非可慕,道心坚,方可瞩…” Stops the footsteps beyond the academy, young child without/has not pushes the door, calmly stands and waits for a long time the step. 在塾外停住脚步,小童没有推门,静静伫步。 In the academy children read aloud, was this school Teacher from gripping «Three Character Immortals after». 塾里童儿们诵的,是这学塾先生自攥的《三字仙经》。 The use, actually for child initiation, this scrip­tures, the young child has listened seven, every month, mother will make him deliver an egg, asked to do obeisance Teacher for the master, seven months, seven opportunity, he stood beyond the academy, almost this «Three Character Immortals after» all after back under. 用途,却是为童儿启蒙之用,这经文,小童听过七遍,每个月,娘亲都会让他送一篮鸡蛋,求拜先生为师,七个月,七次机会,他立在塾外,几乎将这《三字仙经》全经背下。 The young children self-examine, oneself intelligent Spiritual Qi, other not weak village children, but unfortunately, Teacher does not receive him. 小童自问,自己聪颖灵气,绝不弱其他村童,但可惜的是,先生偏偏不收他。 „Why, Teacher does not receive me to enter the academy...” The young children are puzzled, he felt like, these with the matter of his forgetting, related. “为何,先生不收我入塾…”小童不解,他隐隐觉得,这些与他遗忘之事,有关。 When the young child presents outside the private school, in the worn-out academy, slightly is er smaller than one -year-old child the young child, immediately excited say/way. 当小童出现私塾外,破旧的塾中,一个比小童略小一岁的童儿,立刻激动道。 „Teacher Zi, Ning Fan Big Brother acknowledged as teacher, looks on he seven months of sincere intention, this time, Teacher must receive him to enter the academy!” “紫先生,宁凡大哥又来拜师了,看在他七个月的诚心上,这一次,先生一定要收他入塾！” The child, named Ning Gu, is in Ning Village, one of the Ning Fan rare friends. 那孩童,名为宁孤,是宁村之中,宁凡少有的朋友之一。 After he makes noise, all children stop to recite the sound in abundance, by the worn-out casement, looks at Ning Fan that out of the window stands and waits for a long time. 在他出声之后,所有孩童纷纷停下朗诵声,透过破旧的窗扉,看窗外伫立的宁凡。 „Today is the 7th moon/month, is his 7th said that if says now, he has not understood why is unable to enter the academy, he then does not match in this World stay...” “今天是第七月,却是他的第七曰,若今曰,他仍未明白为何无法入塾,他便不配在这个世界逗留…” In the academy, purple clothes Teacher, shows a faint smile. 塾内,一个紫衣先生,微微一笑。 This person of long hair like the waterfall, the appearance is pretty, above forehead, has Purple Golden together the seal of stone flame. 此人长发如瀑,容貌俊秀,眉心之上,有着一道紫金色的石炎之印。 „But Teacher Zi, Ning Fan Big Brother is really sincerely...” “可是紫先生,宁凡大哥真的是诚心诚意…” „He and you different... make him stand! As for you, studies well...” “他与你们不同…让他站着！至于你,好好读书…” In the Teacher hand, a Purple Golden disciplinary ruler, knocks gently on Ning Gu, brings the affection and gentleness. 先生手中,一名紫金色的戒尺,轻轻敲在宁孤头上,带着慈爱、温柔。 And without/has not hits the child palm ruthlessly, he can never so. 并没有狠狠打孩童手心,他从不会如此。 Teaches all comers without discrimination, teaches by personal example, the motionless disciplinary punishment, this is also the Teacher Zi famous reason. 有教无类,言传身教,不动惩戒,这也是紫先生闻名乡里的缘故。 In the hearsay, is the county magistrate outside village, must bend the body to salute to Teacher Zi. 传闻中,便是村子外的县城县官,都要对紫先生屈身行礼的。 This person did not seek the name, did not seek for profit, but listened in his under tutelage disciple, many in Yue Country for officer. 此人不求名,不求利,但听讲于他座下的弟子,不少都在越国为官。 The place of Yue Country, the Confucianism is prosperous, the Neo-Confucianism and black ink study, military science, legal science and other Zhu-school, is the scholar is also floating about like clouds. 越国之地,儒学鼎盛,道学、墨学、兵学、法学等诸派,亦是学者如云。 But the school of thought of Teacher Zi, is... the purple study. 而紫先生的学派,便是…紫学。 After the neutral tone lesson of Teacher, Ning Gu finds the clue make, embarrassed under tutelage, in the academy resounds the sutra chanting. 在先生的轻声教训后,宁孤摸摸头,不好意思的座下,塾内重新响起诵经声。 Ning Fan, then holds the egg, stands beyond the academy, the fist grips tightly unwillingly. 宁凡,则捧着鸡蛋,立在塾外,不甘地拳头紧握。 „He and you different... make him stand!” “他与你们不同…让他站着！” In the mind memories the Teacher words, Ning Fan is clenching teeth gently, this time, feared that acknowledged as teacher will still be defeated... 脑海中回忆着先生的话,宁凡轻轻咬牙,这一次,怕是拜师仍会失败的… But why, Teacher does not receive itself... why with here children, different... 但为何,先生不收自己…自己为何与这里的孩童们,不同… On Ask the Cliff, Meng Xuanzi is looking Ning Fan that stands and waits for a long time purple mist, secret frowned. 问道崖上,梦玄子望着伫立紫雾的宁凡,暗暗皱眉。 „Now said that is 7th said that innumerable Great Cultivator in this one step, halt... does not know this child, could bridge over this threshold... the Old Man past Dao Heart illusion, got married, this child, seemed like studies... studies, whether he could strive for together...” “今曰是第七曰,无数大修士都在这一步,止步…不知此子,能否跨过这一槛…老夫当年的道心幻境,是成亲,此子,似乎是求学…求学,他能否求来一道…” Outside the private school, Ning Fan does not know how long to stand. 私塾外,宁凡不知站了多久。 He thinks repeatedly, Teacher Zi does not receive own reason, seeming like, because and others are different, but is why different, where different? 他反复思索,紫先生不收自己的缘故,似乎是因为自己与他人不同,但为何不同,哪里不同？ His gaze, gradually appears not to conform to the age the profoundness. 他的目光,渐渐浮现一丝不符合年龄的深邃。 When this profound color appears the moment, in the academy, the purple clothes youth shows a faint smile. 当这深邃之色浮现一刻,塾内,紫衣青年微微一笑。 „this child, started to become aware...” “此子,开始悟了…” Different, where different... 不同,哪里不同… The sky gradually reappearing dark cloud, in the dark cloud, has the cold winter rain, lightly. 天空渐渐浮现乌云,乌云之中,下起寒冷的冬雨,淅淅沥沥。 Ning Fan stands under the eaves, looks at that continuous raindrop, gaze is getting more and more profound, after this arrives to some degree profoundly, gradually clear understanding. 宁凡立在屋檐下,看那连珠般的雨点,目光越来越深邃,这深邃到达到某个程度后,渐渐清明。 „Different... was, I naturally with their different... world not same person, not same rain... each drop of rain, reason that was different, was not the shape is different, the main reason, was because their paths different... their paths, in Yue Country Ning Village, studied to practice writing, was admitted to the academic honor, served one term, but my goal, should be not true... I to request the knowledge saying that but goal, actually not in Yue Country for officer... but I could not recall my goal...” “不同…是了,我自然与他们不同的…世间本无相同之人,亦无相同之雨…每一滴雨,之所以不同,并非形状不同,最主要的原因,是因为他们的轨迹不同…他们的轨迹,是在越国宁村,读书习字,考取功名,为官一任,而我的目的,应并非如此…我要求学问道,但目的,却不是在越国为官…但我记不起我的目的…” The 7th month, Ning Fan clearly becomes aware finally slightly, the word of Teacher. 第七个月,宁凡终于稍稍明悟,先生之言。 The purple clothes Teacher han eye, shows the satisfactory smile, pushes the door, without/has not received the egg, but smile racket head of Ning Fan. 紫衣先生晗目,露出满意的微笑,推门而出,没有接过鸡蛋,只是微笑拍拍宁凡的头。 „Egg takes home, gives your mother to build up one's health... as for you, had entered the academy qualifications, but before this qualifications, a also test...” “鸡蛋拿回家,给你娘亲补补身体…至于你,有了入塾资格,但在这个资格前,还有一个考验…” „Test?” Ning Fan is supine the small face. “考验？”宁凡仰起小脸。 „Right, test... my mortal name, surnamed Sun, but you do not need to know, my immortal name, is Zi Dou... they are called me, Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou...” “对,考验…我的凡名,姓孙,但你不必知晓,我的仙名,为紫斗…他们叫我,紫斗仙皇…” „Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou!” “紫斗仙皇！” Ning Fan retrocedes step by step, under this word, his memory, seems the rivers and streams that bursts a dike, awaken. 宁凡步步后退,在这一言之下,他的记忆,好似决堤的江河,苏醒。 Was, oneself were asks the illusion... 是了,自己是在幻境问道… Was, here all was the illusion... 是了,这里皆是幻境… But present purple clothes Teacher, unexpectedly named Zi Dou, the crown is Immortal Sovereign! 但眼前的紫衣先生,竟名为紫斗,冠为仙皇！ Oneself, are always studying with Immortal Sovereign! 自己一直以来,是在跟仙皇求学么！ „May I ask Immortal Sovereign...” “敢问仙皇…” „Called me Teacher...” “叫我先生…” „Yes, may I ask Teacher, you are real, is imaginary!” Ning Fan gaze concentrates. “是,敢问先生,你是真,是幻！”宁凡目光一凝。 „I not real, is not also imaginary, but is beside True and False, Saint road end... 4th step! If there is a chance, you will know, at this moment, you only have a matter... to go home, filial mother, after you made mother lived the easy and comfortable life, just now has the qualifications to study, if could not achieve the filial piety character, then did not match the manner, if not manner, is unable to ascend that Dao Mountain, achievement Immortal Position... went...” “我非真,亦非幻,而是真虚之外,圣路尽头…第四步！若有机缘,你会知,此刻,你只有一件事…回家,孝顺娘亲,待你令娘亲过上安逸生活后,方才有资格求学,若做不到孝字,便不配为人,若非为人,则无法登那道山,成就仙位…去吧…” „Yes!” “是！” Ning Fan bows does obeisance, raises the egg, bathe rain is returning. 宁凡鞠躬一拜,提着鸡蛋,沐雨而回。 This rain was born in the day, dies of the place, but when will soon approach his body, all strange change path. 这雨生于天,死于地,但在即将靠近他身体时,皆诡异改变轨迹。 Purple clothes Teacher, looks at Ning Fan that bathe rain is going, slight nod. 紫衣先生,望着沐雨而去的宁凡,微微点头。 „Ancient Chaos Successor, is a promising young talent...” “乱古的传人么,是个可造之才…” Ning Fan across curtain of rain, heart gradually clear understanding. 宁凡穿过雨幕,心头渐渐清明。 In this purple mist illusion, Yue Country Ning Village, he should stay for seven months, in outside world, is seven said. 在这紫雾幻境,越国宁村,他应呆了七个月,在外界,便是七曰。 Seventh the time, his Magic Force, from 1015 armor, promoting to 1085 armor, is not Monster Force, but is Magic Force promoting... 七曰时光,他的法力,从1015甲,提升至1085甲,并非妖力,而是法力提升… „In this multi- insights one month, but then promoting 1 armor Magic Force...” “在此多感悟一月,便可提升一甲法力么…” He is silent for a while, this purple clothes Teacher, is Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou, is True Immortal Expert that is hard to look, is the Ancient Chaos teacher. 他一时沉默,这紫衣先生,是紫斗仙皇,是真仙难以仰望的高手,是乱古的老师。 But Ning Fan, cannot see this person is really empty, because of his Realm, by far insufficiently, even opposite party whether merely is Phantom that purple mist changes, cannot see. 但宁凡,看不出此人是真是虚,因为他的境界,远远不够,连对方是否仅仅是紫雾变出的幻影,都看不出。 Can see that only, is this person of bearing is graceful, and exhorts itself, wants to become an immortal, first cultivates the behavior, wants to cultivate the behavior, advance filial piety. 唯一能看出的,是此人气度雍容,并嘱咐自己,欲登仙,先做人,欲做人,先行孝。 A character filial piety, mentioned in cultivation world almost nobody, even, if entered Sect, certain Sect will also cancel disciple this world memory, even if did not wipe, should still make the disciple abandon with this world contacts... 孝之一字,在修真界几乎无人提及,甚至,若入宗门,某些宗门还会抹去弟子凡尘记忆,即便不抹,也会令弟子抛弃与凡尘联系… But Immortal Sovereign, compared with cultivation base, Magic Force, natural talent and Dao Enlightenment, regards as important the emotion innermost feelings. 而仙皇,比起修为、法力、资质、道悟,更看重情感内心。 Gave itself, filial mother's opportunity... 给予了自己,孝顺娘亲的机会… „Mother...” “娘…” Ning Fan heart one warm, the ten steps bridge, oneself see mother appearance ; Samsara Bell, oneself see Zhi He predecessor ; Ask the Cliff, Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou grants himself, makes up for this world regrettable opportunity with mother and Zhi He. 宁凡心头一暖,十步桥,自己见到娘亲容貌；轮回钟,自己看到纸鹤前身；问道崖,紫斗仙皇赐予自己,与娘亲、纸鹤弥补凡尘遗憾的机会。 So, the pain and this life regret of oneself previous generation, may in this illusion, complete. 如此,自己前世之痛、今生之遗憾,都可在这幻境之中,补全。 So, own heart, because was short of the fissure, but is more powerful. 如此,自己的心,因为少了裂痕,才可更加强大。 „But this, really right...” “但这,真的对么…” Ning Fan this idea, deeply buries in the heart. 宁凡将这个想法,深埋于心。 Stands outside the bamboo fence, looks in the family/home to be busy driving away the chicken to return to mother of chicken coop, quietly a finger/refers of heaven. 立在竹篱笆外,望着家中忙着驱赶小鸡回鸡笼的娘亲,悄悄一指苍天。 The rain stops! 雨停！ „How does oh? this rain go ahead, suddenly stops...? Did Fan'er come back? this time acknowledges as teacher, whether...” “嗯？这雨怎么说下就下,说停就停…诶？凡儿回来了？这一次拜师,可否…” The Ning Qian words have not questioned, by hair on the temples that under Rainwater drips wet, the beautiful pupil sinks. 宁倩话未问话,被雨水淋湿的鬓发下,美眸一沉。 „How egg brought! Your is without/has not acknowledges as teacher!” “鸡蛋怎么带回来了！你没有去拜师是不是！” „No, Teacher has accepted me, but dislikes me young, making me first study to cultivate the behavior... this egg at home, was Teacher makes me hold.” “不,先生已收下我,只是嫌我年幼,令我在家先学做人…这鸡蛋,也是先生令我持回。” „Cultivates the behavior? Only then you are so, other children, similarly young, why can actually go to the academy to study?” Ning Qian is surprised the different way. “做人？只有你是如此么,其他孩童,同样年幼,却为何可去塾内念书？”宁倩诧异道。 „Because, I and they are different!” In Ning Fan, flashes through one proudly. “因为,我与他们不同！”宁凡目中,闪过一丝傲然。 Snapping fingers beautiful springtime, eight years pass by. 弹指韶华,八年过去。 During eight years, Ning Fan never mentions the matter of studying, is only at home , helping work at farming. 八年之中,宁凡从不提求学之事,只是在家,帮忙务农。 Everything is filial to the utmost, the body must the bow line, never let the Ning Qian grass work. 事事尽孝,身必躬行,从不让宁倩艹劳。 He not obviously famous, is not free, seems an ordinary person, is dormant in Ning Village. 他不显名,不招摇,好似一个凡夫,蛰伏于宁村。 16-year-old he, body distinct thin and weak, but a person actually the open land outside the village, opens up hundred mu (666.67 m²) fertile farmland, a person, can cultivate hundred mu (666.67 m²). 16岁的他,身体分明瘦弱,但一人却在村外荒地,开垦出百亩良田,一人,便可耕种百亩。 Family/Home capital flourishing foot/enough, Ning Qian also gradually no longer worked, only when leisure, then went out with the neighboring woman chats. 家资殷足,宁倩也渐渐不再干活,只闲暇时,便出门与邻妇拉拉家常。 A half year, is 96 months, outside world is 96 days. 半年,便是96个月,外界则是96天。 In the 97 th month, county city Wu moneybags, wears the matchmaker to come Ning Village, to the female of Carpenter Wang, seeks a marriage alliance! 在第97个月,县城吴财主,着媒人来宁村,向王木匠之女,求亲！ Zhi He has 14 years old, becomes slimly and gracefully, in Ning Village and county city, is all around known. 纸鹤已有14岁,出落得亭亭玉立,在宁村及周遭县城,都已小有名气。 Although the family status is poor, will not settle on by the government authorities, but wants to receive it for concubine's earth moneybags, actually some quite people. 虽门第清寒,不会被官家看中,但想收其为妾的土财主,倒是颇有些人。 And, is highest by this Wu moneybags family status, the name Wu Dongnan, spent to contribute the scholar to come, calculated the scholarly family reluctantly. 其中,以这吴财主门第最高,其名吴东南,更花钱捐了秀才出身,也勉强算书香门第。 Has this financial resource and family status, marries Zhi He for the concubine, seriously is fine deeds, even the Carpenter Wang oneself without/has not any meaning of rejection. 有此财力、门第,娶纸鹤为妾,当真是一桩美事,甚至王木匠本人都没有任何拒绝之意。 Zhi He hides from Ning Fan in a panic, made Ning Qian is also sighed tender and. 纸鹤仓皇躲到宁凡家中,令宁倩又是怜惜、又是感叹。 „Attractive aunt, Zhi He do not marry that Wu moneybags! Zhi He must marry Elder Brother Fan!” “倩姨,纸鹤不要嫁给那吴财主！纸鹤要嫁给凡哥哥！” „Silly thing... that Wu Dongnan, big enterprise has lots of assets, why not good, why you look at him not on, instead likes my family poor boy...” “傻丫头…那吴东南,家大业大,有何不好,你为何看他不上,反喜欢我家这穷小子…” „Who said that Elder Brother Fan was poor, he opens up hundred mu (666.67 m²) fertile farmland, calculates that Ning Village earth moneybags, I marry him, depends on him for a lifetime, making him buy delicious for me, tasty, good!” Zhi He curls the lip, the words that said that making Ning Qian be able help smiling. “谁说凡哥哥穷了,他开垦百亩良田,也算宁村土财主,我嫁他,赖他一辈子,让他给我买好吃的、好喝的,多好！”纸鹤撇撇嘴,说出的话,让宁倩忍俊不禁。 Indeed in the consciousness of Zhi He, marries Ning Fan, were many a purse... 敢情在纸鹤的意识里,嫁给宁凡,就是多了个钱袋么… Ning Qian knows, this silly thing, does not have a liking for Ning Fan that point money, otherwise, why to have richer Wu moneybags not to marry, ignores the female fame and integrity, depends does not walk in Ning Family. 只是宁倩知道,这傻丫头,根本不是看上宁凡那点点钱,否则,何必有更富有的吴财主不嫁,不顾女子名节,赖在宁家不走。 „Silly thing, you also calculate that foolishly..., waits for Fan'er to come back, the aunt then made him prepare the gift, went to your family to discuss marriage! As for Wu moneybags, this person, if pesters and stirs up trouble, the aunt finds the way to process.” “傻丫头,你也算痴心了…罢,等凡儿回来,姨便令他准备礼物,去你家提亲！至于吴财主,此人若纠缠、滋事,姨想办法处理。” „Does not need so to trouble...” “不必如此麻烦…” Out of the door, transmits Ning Fan to ride the form that the cow turns over. Grasps willow whip, the long hair hangs loose, although cotton garment, floating, if immortal. 门外,传来宁凡骑牛而归的身影。手持柳鞭,长发披散,虽着布衣,飘然若仙。 „Wu Dongnan, does not dare to stir up trouble before me , he does not dare!” “吴东南,不敢在我面前滋事,他,不敢！” „Zhi He is my wife, nobody may rob!” “纸鹤是我妻,无人可抢夺！” 97 th said, Meng Xuanzi gaze is phenomenally dedicated. 第97曰,梦玄子目光空前专注。 Oneself in the past, then in 97 said the threshold, was broken stops Dao Enlightenment. 自己当年,便是在97曰之槛,被破停下道悟。 This Ning Fan, can break through 97 saying that exceeds itself! 这宁凡,能否突破97曰,超越自己！ And most makes Meng Xuanzi puzzled, covers in Ning Fan purple mist, at times spills over the purple golden light color. 且最让梦玄子不解的,是笼罩在宁凡身上的紫雾,时时泛出紫金光彩。 The light of that purple gold, the power and influence, lets Meng Xuanzi that Immortal Emperor reveres, raises misconception that wish lies prostrate in worship. 那紫金之光,有一股威势,让仙帝之尊的梦玄子,升起一种想要顶礼膜拜的错觉。 „This purple mist, actually what kind of fierce... this is what Rank immortal prestige... could it be, Immortal Sovereign!” “这紫雾,何等厉害…这究竟是什么级别的仙威…难道是,仙皇么！” Immortal Sovereign Zi Dou!( To be continued.) 紫斗仙皇！(未完待续。)
