„Pure Qi is pure, on tests!” “清气纯正,上考！” This old and gray haired daoist inscribed this inspection result on a jade official document, then no longer said anything with Zhang Yan, departs unemotionally. 这名白发苍苍的道人在一枚玉牒上写上了本次查验结果,便不再与张衍多说什么,面无表情地离去。 Each three months, Higher Academy will then have dispatched High Master to come to check the school True Disciple merit period of five days progress, if there is cultivation base at a standstill or slow progress, then under evaluates tests, for successive three times, then seizes its half to bestow, under six times tests, to peel Qiquan bestows, under nine times tests, exiles the position of its True Inheritance. 每过三月,上院便会派遣一名上师前来查校真传弟子功候进度,若有修为停滞不前或进展缓慢者,便评为下考,连续三次,则夺其半数下赐,六次下考,剥其全赐,九次下考,谪其真传之位。 Zhang Yan naturally cannot put out Heaven Spirit Pure Qi, but emits cloud Lan Pure Qi and opposite party inspects, this Pure Qi can only call it general from fine, but starts these step difficultly, he crossing the threshold short three months, has been able to congeal Pure Qi, the progress is obvious, in tests must. 张衍自然不会吐出乾灵清气,只是放出一口云澜清气与对方查验,这口清气从精纯度上只能称之为一般,不过开始这一步最为艰难,他才入门短短三月,已能凝出清气,进度明显,得个上考也是应当。 Gazes after this daoist to harness the light to go, he is wanting to turn around to turn back immortal cave, looks up, actually sees one person in front of oneself, is busy at saluting saying: „Has seen Senior Brother Ning.” 目送这名道人驾光而去,他正欲转身折返洞府,抬头一看,却见一人正在自己面前,忙行礼道:“见过宁师兄。” „Your Spiritual Qi is incorruptible, congealing is not loose, used the heart obviously.” The Ning Chongxuan white clothing, is only the sound of talking somewhat is as before disappointed. “你灵气清正,凝而不散,显是用了心的。”宁冲玄白衣如故,只是语声有几分怅然。 He knows that «Billowing Clouds Book» qi refining Technique is not wise, and must in Blessed Land that in this Fiend Qi soars to the heavens cultivate the dao, can only grasp several double-hour to act in a hurry at night, Zhang Yan aptitude is not high, no one helps one another to protect and sustain, can actually achieve so the degree in three months, the Dao Heart circle melts fully obviously, the will is tenacious, far exceeds him to estimate. 他知道《澜云密册》的练气法门并不高明,且要在这处煞气冲天的福地中修道,只能匆匆抓紧夜间几个时辰行动,张衍资质不高,又无人相助护持,却能在三月中做到这般程度,足可见道心圆融,意志坚韧,远超他原先预计。 Disposition so good disciple actually cannot drag into lineage/vein, somewhat is truly regrettable. 只是心性如此好的弟子却不能拉入己方一脉,确实有几分遗憾。 His eye of note Zhang Yan, said solemnly: „I come this am must inform your incident, you transit the discipling from have decided that is Pill Cauldron Courtyard Courtyard Master Zhou Chongju, this person of status is unique, this kissed saying that with my teacher must receive you for the disciple, the teacher has complied, I am unable to stop, but this person was not Aristocratic Family Lineage, therefore you may feel relieved greatly.” 他目注张衍,沉声道:“我来此是要告知你一事,你师承已定,为丹鼎院掌院周崇举,此人身份独特,这番亲来与我师尊说要收你为徒,师尊已然应了,我也无法阻拦,不过此人也并非世家一脉,所以你大可放心。” At this point, he sighed slightly, said: „Human affairs is difficult to predict, you and Senior Brother Qi looked like do not have the master and disciple fate.” 说到这里,他微微一叹,道:“世事难料,你与齐师兄看来是没有师徒缘分了。” The Zhang Yan eyeground has fine glow to flash through, said: „Listens to Senior Brother saying that this matter as if there is secret facts, does not know why this Senior Zhou can receive me for the disciple?” 张衍眼底有一丝精芒闪过,道:“听师兄所言,此事似乎别有隐情,不知这位周前辈为何要收我为徒？” Ning Chongxuan shakes the head saying: „This matter you know now uselessly.” He puts out a hand, said: „You you hand in Pleasant Divine Shuttle.” 宁冲玄摇头道:“此事现在你多知无益。”他伸出手,道:“你把如意神梭你交来。” The Zhang Yan look is invariable, without the slightest hesitation puts out Divine Shuttle, Ning Chongxuan puts out a hand, Divine Shuttle then belongs to own sleeve, he looked at Zhang Yan, said: „My this then delivers you to see this person, you remember, foreign object is good, is the boost, does not depend on, so long as you wholeheartedly to saying, not necessarily does not have the opportunity of becoming enlightened, was sure to remember, was sure to remember!” 张衍神色不变,毫不犹豫将神梭拿出,宁冲玄伸手一点,神梭便归入自己的袖中,他看了看张衍,又道:“我这便送你去见此人,你记住,外物再好,也是助力,不是倚仗,只要你一心向道,也未必没有成道之机,切记,切记！” He walks to go forward, builds the Zhang Yan shoulder, the latter suddenly feels a before one's eyes fuzziness, seems suddenly dizzy, when to stands firm, looks up, before Main Hall of truss structure, the inscribed horizontal tablet has actually submitted a written statement to „Pill Cauldron Courtyard” three large characters, Ning Chongxuan has actually disappeared without a trace. 他走上前,一搭张衍肩膀,后者顿觉得眼前一阵模糊,似乎陡然间天旋地转起来,待到重新站定,抬头一看,却是已在一处梁架结构的大殿前,匾额上书“丹鼎院”三个大字,宁冲玄却已经不知去向。 Will proceed to take a step, his look actually moves, stretches out the palm to spread out looked that Pleasant Divine Shuttle is treating in good condition in palm! 正要往前迈步,他神色却不由一动,伸出手掌摊开一看,那枚如意神梭正好端端待在手心里！ Zhang Yan receives Divine Shuttle, thought deeply about the moment, has understood clearly to the intention of Ning Chongxuan. 张衍将神梭收起,思索了片刻,不禁对宁冲玄的用意有所了然。 „After today Senior Brother Ning Pleasant Divine Shuttle first receives gives, fears must make me give birth to the heart of success and failure, then looked that he said finally, actually must tell me foreign object to be good, was others the thing, others can bestow, must be able to receive, but made this action before Pill Cauldron Courtyard, feared that taking advantage of this metaphor pill refining technique was also foreign object, only had cultivation profound art is the proper way, asking me do not forget the basis.” “今日宁师兄将如意神梭先收后予,恐是要令我生出得失之心,再看他最后所言,却是要借此告诉我外物再好,亦是他人之物,他人能赐,也必能收,而在来丹鼎院前做出这番举动,怕是借此暗喻炼丹术亦是外物,唯有修炼玄功才是正途,叫我不要忘了根本。” Thinks of here, he arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest to the place that Ning Chongxuan is departing seriously, where no matter the Ning Chongxuan goal, at least also has several assisting graciousness to oneself, but also keeps the shuttle on point of departure, can be shows extreme tolerance, this favor he must in the future. 想到这里,他对着宁冲玄离去的地方郑重拱了拱手,不管宁冲玄目的何在,至少对自己也是有几番相助之恩,还临别留梭,算得上仁至义尽,这个人情他将来必还。 However...... 不过…… The Zhang Yan corners of the mouth have a smile, no matter Ning Chongxuan, that plays tricks in behind, you were wrong, and was completely mistaken! His both hands robe sleeve inspires, enters into Main Hall with stride. 张衍嘴角含笑,不管是宁冲玄,还是在后面弄鬼的那位,你们都错了啊,而且是大错特错！他双手袍袖一振,大步迈入大殿。 This main entrance Main Hall the gold/metal timber strut that is joint held by two people, gets down the duplicate lotus flower foundation, arching beam construction is great, in the palace has one person of high double neck copper furnace one, the above gauze curtain is light, hidden has the medicine fragrance to float from the distant place, Deacon Dao Child sees that immediately the approach, bows said: „What matter this does Senior Brother come this? But asked pill?” 这间正门大殿由两人合抱的金木支撑,下覆莲花底座,拱梁架构宏大,殿中有一人高的双颈铜炉一只,上方纱幔轻飘,隐有药香从远处飘来,一名执事道童见状立刻迎上来,稽首道:“这位师兄来此何事？可是求丹的么？” Zhang Yan stands firm, said solemnly: „My Zhang Yan, is ordered this to see right in front of one Courtyard Master Zhou.” 张衍站定,沉声道:“我名张衍,奉命来此面见周掌院。” „Are you Martial Uncle Zhang?” “你就是张师叔？” That Dao Child one dull, is busy at showing a smiling face, flatters saying: „Martial Uncle Zhang, here invited, here invited, I from reported Ancestral Master.” Said that then rushed to the rear palace. 那名道童一呆,忙露出一副笑容,讨好道:“张师叔,这里请,这里请,我自去禀告祖师。”说罢回头匆匆奔向后殿了。 Another how many Dao Child had not cared, usually they have keen eyesight in withstand/top, how can the future ask pill's disciple to care? Was several Heavenly Cave was also then polite True Disciple to here, at this moment heard Zhang Yan to identify one's role when first coming on stage, actually quickly grasped the meaning of something, immediately knows this was the apprentice who Courtyard Master will soon accept, where also dares to neglect, came to send respects in abundance, some smart also offered the scented tea, in the heart regretted that has not stood earlier, missed this opportunity. 另几道童原本还不太在意,平日他们都是眼高于顶,岂会将来求丹的弟子放在心上？便是几位洞天的真传弟子到了这里也是客客气气的,此刻听到张衍自报家门,却是一个激灵,立时知道这是掌院即将收的徒弟,哪里还敢怠慢,纷纷过来问安,一些机灵的还奉上香茗,心中后悔没有早点站出来,错过了这份机会。 About after half double-hour, that Dao Child runs in a hurry, bows said: „Martial Uncle Zhang, Ancestral Master calls you to go.” 大约半个时辰后,那名道童匆匆跑出来,稽首道:“张师叔,祖师唤你进去呢。” Zhang Yan said: „Front guides.” 张衍道:“前方带路吧。” Dao Child is sideways, said: „Martial Uncle comes along with me.” 道童一侧身,道:“师叔随我来。” Follows the Dao Child lobby crossing room, including three Main Hall, has arrived at a foot, the front is a water color Yanyan's lake, a bridge extends from the ashore, attacks the center of the lake, there has a 3-layer ship's tower float to be uncertain, daoist is standing near the garret railing, to under is abandoning some white disintegration medicine pill once for a while. 跟着道童一路穿堂过室,连过三座大殿,来到一处山脚,前方是一处水色艳艳的湖泊,一座廊桥从岸上延伸出去,直插湖心,那里有一座三层船楼漂浮不定,一个道人正站在阁楼围栏边,对着下方时不时扔下一些白色的散碎丹药。 Zhang Yan carefully looks, discovered that the original this ground floor is one gigantic incomparable, the abdomen opens the strange fish of two wings, is swallowing these medicine pill greedily, and makes the sound that mumbled. 张衍仔细一看,发现原来此楼底下是一条硕大无比,腹张两翼的怪鱼,正贪婪地吞食着那些丹药,并发出哼哼唧唧的声音。 Dao Child referred to the front, said: „Ancestral Master in the fish building, Martial Uncle goes for the time being.” 道童指了指前方,道:“祖师就在鱼楼上,师叔且自去吧。” Zhang Yan nods, passes through the bridge, takes a step to step up to the fish building, arrives , a point does not have the feeling of that swaying jolting the outside sees. He put in order the clothing, goes up a ladder to 3-layer, takes a quick look around, discovered that daoist has sat in the main hall. 张衍点了点头,走过廊桥,举步跨上鱼楼,一到此间,却一点也没有外间所看到的那种晃动颠簸之感。他整了整衣衫,登梯上到三层,一眼看去,发现那名道人已坐到了正厅上。 He becomes dark to black, the facial features proper, the right hand with one volume of pill book, the case several is putting half pot liquor, then looks then drinks, detect(ed) Zhang Yan comes, he looked that does not look at one, but wielded the sleeves, said unemotionally: „Who makes you come up, gets down.” 他黑发黑须,五官周正,右手拿一卷丹书,案几边放着半壶酒,便看便饮,察觉张衍进来,他看也不看一眼,只是挥了挥衣袖,面无表情地说道:“谁让你上来的,下去。” Zhang Yan actually pays no attention, he sees on the both sides bookshelves is Dao Scripture, walked to take one to read without consulting anybody. 张衍却不理,他见两侧书架上皆是道书,径自走上去取了一本翻看起来。 daoist snort/hum, put aside in the hand the books, coldly said: „You think not you make this action I then not to accept the disciple, I receive you for also an old friend favor, no matter you do want, your apprentice my Zhou Chongju was receives.” 道人哼了一声,移开手中书卷,冷冷道:“你莫以为你做出这番举动我便不会收徒,我收你只是为还老友一个人情,不管你愿不愿意,你这个徒弟都我周崇举都是收定了。” Zhang Yan actually smiles, puts down in the hand the books, the return / rotate body, said: „Second Great Uncle, I was your apprentice, how could it not be do you suffer a loss?” 张衍却笑了笑,放下手中书册,回转身,道:“二叔公,我做了你徒弟,你岂不吃亏？” „What do you call my? You...... you are Zhou Family......” “你唤我什么？你……你难道是周家……” On the Zhou Chongju face changes, the facial expression becomes splendid, first is angry, then confuses, is surprised, is excited, finally suddenly stood, said in a low voice: „You come along with me.” Sees only him to open a bookshelf conveniently, enters in a secret room. 周崇举脸上一变,神情变得精彩之极,先是愤怒,再是迷惑,然后是惊讶,接下来是激动,最后突然站了起来,低声道:“你随我来。”只见他随手拉开身边的一个书架,进入一间密室中。 Zhang Yan smiles, not be hesitant, with Zhou Chongkua. 张衍一笑,也不犹豫,跟着周崇跨了进去。 When the gate of secret room closes, the Zhou Chongju vision brilliant looks at Zhang Yan, said: „Actually are you who?” 待密室之门合上,周崇举目光灼灼看着张衍,道:“你究竟是谁？” Zhang Yan first is the respectful ritual, will then come the origin saying that said finally: „On the same day directed me to climb mountains that senior, said Zhou Family had an elder 200 years ago once scored, once swore destruction Zhou Family, making me come to go for shelter, he said me, if to Higher Academy, then all did not mention, if I to Higher Academy, naturally some opportunities saw you.” 张衍先是恭敬一礼,然后将自己出身来历说了一遍,最后说道:“当日指点我上山那位前辈,说周家有位长辈两百年前曾破门而出,曾立誓覆灭周家,让我前来投奔,他说我若到不了上院,则一切休提,我若到了上院,自然有机会见到您老。” Zhou Chongju follows also to ask: „What did that senior add?” 周崇举跟着又问:“那位前辈还说了什么？” Zhang Yan said: „Senior said that after meeting your, only asked that you may still once remember, on the same day with whisking whipped three that Old Daoist behind you?” 张衍道:“前辈说,见您老之面后,只问你可还曾记得,当日用拂尘在您背后拍打了三下的那个老道么？” Zhou Chongju hearing this, stands in same place silent, in the Zhang Yan doubts time, sees only him to face upward to laugh, the thump chest said: „Really good, is really good, the senior has not deceived me, has not deceived me.” 周崇举闻言,站在原地默然不语,正在张衍疑惑的时候,只见他仰天哈哈大笑,捶胸道:“果然不错,果然不错,前辈未曾骗我,未曾骗我啊。” „In the past I was plotted against by the Zhou Family old ordinary man, down to was shooed away to go out, had a mind to take revenge, but the senior said that my foundation is bad, even if passes on my divine ability, the life still has nothing looking of Grand Dao, at most free thousand years years, therefore I also asked how that should, the senior informs, he going on patrol world, will seek has the big destiny, the potential energy earth-shaking person, this person must be able to end my wish, asking me to wait to be able patiently, more than 200 years, more than 200 years, the old man waited till finally!” “当年我被周家老匹夫暗算,以至被轰赶出门,原本有心复仇,可前辈却说我根基已坏,就算传我神通,此生也无有大道之望,至多逍遥千载岁月,于是我又问那该如何,前辈告知,他将巡游天下,寻一有大气运,势能翻天覆地之人,此人必能完我心愿,叫我耐心等候便可,两百多年了,两百多年了,老夫终于等到了！” His sound of talking sighed, sighed, he smiled to Zhang Yan temperately, said: „Little Friend Zhang, here, you must feel relieved, whoever wants to harm you, so long as you do not violate sect rules, not the good bad misstep, I may protect you to be complete surely.” 他语声唏嘘不已,感叹完毕,他对张衍温和一笑,道:“张小友,在我这里,你需放心,无论谁想害你,只要你不犯下门规,不行差踏错,我定可护得你周全。” Zhang Yan bows saying: „many thanks Second Great Uncle.” 张衍躬身道:“多谢二叔公。” Zhou Chongju shakes the head, beckons with the hand saying: „I now am not the person of Zhou Family, and your I all am the senior help one another can extricate, in front of the bystander you may say that my master father, when no one finds something convenient to be possible by Martial Brothers.” He looked at Zhang Yan one, thinks, said: „Listened to you previously saying that in your clan now only your?” 周崇举摇了摇头,摆手道:“我如今已不是周家之人,且你我皆是得前辈相助方能解脱,外人面前你可称我为师父,无人时以师兄弟相称便可。”他又看了张衍一眼,想了想,道:“听你先前所说,你族中如今只你一人？” „Good.” “不错。” Zhou Chongju walked slowly and aimlessly several steps in the indoor, finally he sits down, said solemnly: „The Zhou Family conduct cannot be how simple, wants to come in me, perhaps before you were born they then plan, then your parents, your clan member all die, your living alone, but also is related through marriage with Zhou Family smoothly, these are surely fishy, is it possible that your heart doesn't have a suspicion seriously?” 周崇举在室内踱了几步,最后他坐下,沉声道:“周家行事绝不会如何简单,在我想来,恐怕在你出生前他们便有谋算,而后你父母,你族人皆死,偏偏你一人独活,还顺当与周家结亲,这其中必定有鬼,莫非你心中当真就没有一丝怀疑？” Zhang Yan knits the brows, must say that this aspect he also has to think, the matter of predecessor he has not cared, moreover he almost did not have cultivation base at that time, how even knew? Now Zhou Chongju raises this matter, he followed the words of opposite party to say simply, said: „Yes, quite a lot suspicious, is only the Zhou Family potential is big, does to?” 张衍皱了皱眉,要说这方面他也不是没想过,不过前身的事情他也没怎么放在心上,况且他那时几乎没有一点修为,就算知道了又如何？现在周崇举一提此事,他索性顺着对方的话说下去,道:“是,其中颇多可疑,只是周家势大,奈何？” Zhou Chongju pats the table, said: „The enmity of parents is absolutely irreconcilable, you could rest assured that from now on I will help you full power, some day, must be able to overturn Zhou Family!” 周崇举一拍桌案,道:“父母之仇不共戴天,你放心,今后我会全力助你,有朝一日,必能将周家翻覆！” Zhang Yan says immediately: „All takes responsibility depending on Senior Brother.” 张衍立刻道:“全凭师兄做主。” Zhou Chongju satisfaction nods, later he thought of anything probably, stood to refer to Zhang Yan, said: „Has the incident you to be able do without guarding,” 周崇举满意点头,随后他像是想到了什么,站起来指了指张衍,道:“有一事你不可不防,” Zhang Yan said submissively: „Also asked Senior Brother to show.” 张衍拱手道:“还请师兄示下。” „You come this, originally is the meaning of my old friend, I to also his favor, have to comply, but this person excels at the scheme, the bureau of supposing is one point wraps one point, this matter so will not be simple, but actually he has what plan, I cannot look for the time being, but roughly should still make an issue in pill refining these two characters.” “你来此,本是我一个老友之意,我为还他一个人情,不得不答应下来,不过此人擅机谋,所设之局皆是一环套一环,此事绝不会这么简单,但他究竟有何打算,我暂且也看不出来,不过大致应该还在炼丹这两字上做文章。” One side Zhou Chongju arrives, on being on record frame takes several volumes of books, delivers to the Zhang Yan hand, urged: „These volumes of books are pill refining technique that my for hundred years revise, did not say that this life is difficult to seek, is also hard to discover several people to come in Eastern Flower Continent with it comparing favorably, you bring to go back to look, did not ask you to practice what situation, slightly knew one or two, making a protection was also good.” 周崇举走到一边,在案架上拿下几卷书,送到张衍手中,叮嘱道:“这几卷书乃是我百年来重新修编的炼丹术,不说今世难寻,在东华洲也难以找出几人来与之媲美,你带回去看一下,不求你练到什么地步,略知一二,做个防备也是好的。” ...... …… ...... ……
