Before Mysterious Water True Palace, the bamboo stroked the clouds hard and softly, a pine and cypress day, the cool breeze round trip, in the blue sky the light class/flow myriad, colored coiled around, dazzling bright wave Hongxia, in the cold cool water surface, there is a bubbling spring together endlessly, the upstream heaven, such as Jade Dragon spat the water, opened auspicious light, three chi (0.33 m) high place, several groups of auspicious clouds stacks, short in water end. 玄水真宫之前,竹拂云霄,松柏支日,清风刚柔来去,碧空中光流万千,彩色盘绕,明耀水波虹霞,沧沧凉凉的水面之中,有一道涌泉漫漫而起,溯流上天,如玉龙吐水,开得瑞光,不过三尺高处,几团祥云堆积,矮在水端。 Above Qi Yuntian sits cross-legged, wears the Pure Yang turban, the feather robe crane cloak, clothes with the wind, flutters comfortably, his hand is pressing in the empty place, as his hand signal changes, under that lake sea such as the breath is unexpectedly ordinary, from one volt, high and low surges together. 齐云天趺坐其上,头戴纯阳巾,羽衣鹤氅,衣角随风,自在飘扬,他一只手正按在虚处,随着他手势变动,底下那湖海竟如呼吸一般,亦自一起一伏,上下涌动。 Fan Changqing relaxes the hands stands in the distant place, does not dare to go forward to disturb. 范长青垂手立在远处,不敢上前打扰。 Crossed the moment, Qi Yuntian receives the hand, dispersed secret art, smoothed that appearance of the water, this turns around, says with a smile: „Junior Brother Fan, trip how?” 过得片刻,齐云天把手一收,散了法诀,将那水势抚平,这才转过身来,笑道:“范师弟,此行如何啊？” He compares for 20 years ago, the bearing sees to sink to congeal, when this looks, resembles hills move together, bends down to look at the common people, Fan Changqing, though can see him at times, actually is also the aura stagnates slightly, said submissively: „Does not have Senior Brother to expect, Junior Brother Zhang is really the elixir merit becomes, achievement Gold Core.” 他比之二十年前,气度更见沉凝,这一眼望过来时,似群山齐动,俯览苍生,范长青虽则时时能见到他,却也是气息微微一滞,拱手言道:“不出师兄所料,张师弟果真是炼药功成,成就金丹了。” Qi Yuntian nodded, in the eye pupil appears slightly wipes profound brilliance, said: „You may see clearly, Zhang Yan Junior Brother Core Accomplishment several?” 齐云天微微颌首,眼眸中浮现一抹深湛光华,道:“你可看清,张衍师弟丹成几品？” Fan Changqing replied discretely: „According to Junior Brother looks like, Junior Brother Zhang should be above Core Accomplishment Sixth Grade, considers high Fourth Grade, is only......” 范长青谨慎回答道:“依师弟看来,张师弟应是丹成六品之上,当是高不过四品,只是……” Qi Yuntian said with a smile: „What is only?” 齐云天含笑言道:“只是什么？” On the Fan Changqing circle fat face also shows the smiling face, said: „Junior Brother Zhang this person often has the unexpected action, cannot the common sense estimate, I sees by Junior Brother, actually also not necessarily is real.” 范长青圆胖的脸上也是露出笑容,道:“张师弟这个人每每有出人意料之举,不可以常理揣度,是以师弟我看到的,却也未必是真。” Qi Yuntian revealed the color of thinking deeply at this time, Fan Changqing looked at his look, added on one carefully, said: „Eldest Senior Brother, Junior Brother in my opinion, resembles Junior Brother Zhang this grade of person, with Junior Brother Ning, although is somewhat similar, ambitious Zhiyuan, but actually understood that conceals collects the point, seeks, but the rear drive, to only may by it, not be possible to make it.” 齐云天这时露出深思之色,范长青看了看他的神色,又小心加上了一句,道:“大师兄,师弟窃以为,似张师弟这等人,与宁师弟虽有几分相似,心高志远,但却又懂得藏敛锋芒,谋而后动,是以只可由之,不可制之。” Qi Yuntian laughed very loudly, shakes off the robe sleeve, said: „Junior Brother Fan said surely in the principle, Junior Brother Zhang has itself to think to ponder, he is not only at a high game, I and others why and to restrict in him? And I also want to take a look, actually he can arrive which step.” 齐云天放声一笑,抖开袍袖,言道:“范师弟说得在理,张师弟定有自己所思所虑,他既胸怀大志,我等又何必拘束于他？且我也想看看,他究竟能走到哪一步。” Fan Changqing implored to vent anger, he for many years walked randomly in in sect for Qi Yuntian, buys the hearts of the people, wins over the high talent, with his vision, the selfenergy could see Zhang Yan to be out of the ordinary, cannot treat lightly, to only fear Qi Yuntian must Zhang Yan in the body side, hold like the board game piece, this to both sides all was disadvantageous, but now looks like, Qi Yuntian 3rd Generation First Disciple, was worthily imposing, can put to receive, was not cramped. 范长青吁出口气,他多年来替齐云天在门中游走,笼络人心,收揽高才,以他的眼光,自能看得出张衍非比寻常,不可以等闲视之,是以只怕齐云天非要将张衍拿在身侧,操如棋子,这对双方皆是不利,不过如今看来,齐云天不愧三代大弟子,气度恢弘,能放能收,毫不褊狭。 His be hesitant, said: „When Junior Brother I come this, hears that side Aristocratic Family to spread the news, resembling to open what Core Grade Assembly......” 他犹豫了一下,又道:“师弟我来此之时,听闻世家那边传来消息,似要开什么品丹大会……” The Qi Yuntian slightly First Grade taste, knows mystery, does not care to say muddily: „Situation in me, then starts the mighty waves occasionally, how can also? Does not use the manages, goes by them.” 齐云天略一品味,就知其中的奥妙,浑不在意道:“大势在我,便是偶尔掀起波澜,又能如何？不用去管,由得他们去。” The Fan Changqing nod name is, no longer talks too much. 范长青点头称是,不再多言。 , Has not been coordinated by Zheng clan on several th, Twelve Great Families wanted intent to restart the matter of Core Grade Daoist Assembly then to spread over Mountain Sect / Gate, in sect disciple much discussion this matter, was excited, but the discerning person all can see why Aristocratic Family this act came, what may feel strange, Master and Disciples Lineage silent did not say, no one coming out phase resistance, seemed like, no matter what it. 未有几日,由郑氏牵头,十二巨室欲意重启品丹法会之事便传遍了山门,门中弟子纷纷议论此事,都是兴奋不已,不过明眼人皆能看出世家此举为何而来,可奇怪的是,师徒一脉却对此沉默不言,也无人出来相阻,似乎是任其为之。 if this happens then, the matter of Daoist Assembly is smooth incomparable, but after the half a month, then has set the date. 这样一来,法会之事自是顺畅无比,不过半月之后,便已定下日期。 At this time a Core Grade Daoist Assembly invitation also delivered to the Zhang Yan hand, he took this letter/believes to look, the eye glow flashed, oneself were True Disciple, how could this didn't Core Grade Assembly go? Aristocratic Family comes this invitation specially, but does in public, making him draw back does not have to draw back, if not go, deciding is the reputation damages greatly, suffers a disastrous decline. 此时一封品丹法会的请柬也送到了张衍手中,他拿过此信看了一遍,眼芒微闪,自己身为真传弟子,这品丹大会又岂能不去？世家特意来这封请柬,不过是做在明处,让他退无可退,若是不去,定是声名大损,一落千丈。 His smile however smiles, throws the letter paper in one side. 他不由哂然一笑,就将信纸丢在一边。 At this time, his body leaned on Little Pot Mirror a fluctuation, had the sound to spread, said: „Master, out of the door has the Elder visits of two High Clarity Palace.” 这时,他身侧小壶镜上一阵波动,有声音传出,道:“老爷,门外有两位上明殿的长老来访。” Zhang Yan looks with, in the eye piece saw two beard and hair are all white, Old Daoist of features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality, discovered that unexpectedly is two acquaintances, he ponders the moment, simply said: „Please.” 张衍拿眼一瞧,自镜中看到了两名须发皆白,仙风道骨的老道人,发现居然还是两位熟人,他沉思片刻,便道:“请。” His long body, one step steps forward, enters above 1st-layer Main Hall from 12 Palace tower, sits cross-legged toward that jade couch on sits. 他长身而起,一步跨出,从十二层宫阙直入第一层大殿之上,往那玉榻上盘膝一坐。 Several, Shang Chang has not then brought these two Elder to come, Zhang Yan does not set out, bows with a smile said: „Originally is Elder Hu and Huo Elder, two do not repair in Superior Bright Courtyard clear, does the common perilla near our mansion, why the institute come?” 未几,商裳便带着这两名长老前来,张衍也不起身,笑着稽首道:“原来是胡长老与霍长老,两位不在上明院中清修,荏临敝府,所为何来？” These two daoist are Hu Zhili and Huo Zhiqi, initially once tried to threaten by force Zhang Yan on Bamboo Joint Island, was actually instead sheared the beard by his sword, goes distressedly, today this, naturally also has no good complexion to give him. 这两名道人乃是胡至理和霍至器,当初在竹节岛上曾试图威迫张衍,却反而被他一剑割了胡须去,狼狈而去,今日来此,自然也没有什么好脸色给他。 Although these two people only Profound Light Realm, but depends the Superior Bright Courtyard Elder status, at this moment some people support, by facing is Core Transformation Realm Zhang Yan does not fear now. 这二人虽只玄光境界,但仗着上明院长老的身份,此刻身后又有人撑腰,是以面对如今已是化丹境界的张衍倒也不怵。 Huo Zhiqi is cold the face saying: „Zhang Yan, I and other today this, is presents the life of in sect Senior Brother to convey a message in you, that Core Grade Daoist Assembly you cannot go.” 霍至器冷着脸道:“张衍,我等今日来此,是奉门中一位师兄之命传话于你,那品丹法会你不能去。” Zhang Yan raises the eyebrow, sees these two serious appearance, feels to say with a smile: „Why?” 张衍一扬眉,见这两人一本正经的模样,颇觉好笑道:“为何？” Hu Zhili snort/hum, ridiculed to jeer: „Zhang Yan, do not think that I and others do not know, your Core Accomplishment five Sixth Grade disciple, went to that Daoist Assembly also to give us Master and Disciples Lineage to lose face at most, might as well did not go!” 胡至理哼了一声,讥嘲道:“张衍,你别以为我等不知,你一个至多不过丹成五六品的弟子,去了那法会也不过给我们师徒一脉丢脸,还不如不去！” Huo Zhiqi does not wait for the Zhang Yan opens the mouth, abandons token talisman, berated: „You went to Dragon Goose Pond Shellfish Field to guard on several th with this sign, when Daoist Assembly shut, you sought the machine to come back again, have your advantage, otherwise had the person to make you, at that time was beyond control you.” 霍至器也不等张衍开口,扔下一枚牌符,喝斥道:“你拿此牌去龙雁泽贝场看守几日,待法会闭了,你再觅机回来,自有你的好处,否则自有人来制你,那时便由不得你自己了。” Zhang Yan smiles lightly, puts out a hand, absorbs to start token talisman, Hu Zhili looks at each other with Huo Zhiqi, is self-satisfied, in sect has low generation of disciple saying that Zhang Yan is for hundred years first True Disciple, in their opinion, what hundred years first, under this grade of pressure, is not same must submit to lower the head. 张衍淡淡一笑,一伸手,将牌符摄入手中,胡至理与霍至器相视一眼,都是得意,门中有低辈弟子称张衍为百年来第一真传弟子,在他们看来,什么百年第一,在这等威压之下,还不是一样要屈从低头。 Who knows the next quarter, their complexion then changed, sees only that token talisman to change to powder in broken bits, flows off from a Zhang Yan finger/refers of seam, sprinkles on the ground, only listens to him to say cold: „You two are High Clarity Palace Elder, cultivating for several hundred years is also only Profound Light cultivation base, sits mixes to eat the generation of waiting for death there , what Laiquan duty manages to my head? Get lost to me!” 谁知下一刻,他们脸色便变了,只见那牌符化作细碎粉末,从张衍指缝中流下,洒在地上,只听他冷然言道:“你们两个不过是上明殿长老,修了数百年也只是玄光修为,坐在那里混吃等死之辈,又何来权职管到我的头上？给我滚出去！” His robe sleeve wields, in Main Hall since the instant strong winds, where two people think that Zhang Yan said unexpectedly gets angry gets angry, immediately has a big shock, wants to say anything, actually thinks that suddenly before one's eyes one black, then lost the intelligence. 他袍袖一挥,大殿内霎时起了一阵狂风,两人哪想到张衍居然说翻脸就翻脸,顿时大惊失色,想开口说什么,却突觉眼前一黑,便失去了神智。 When wakes again, they discovered that oneself have lain down under Clear Nether Mountain, the chignon is scattered in disorder, the whole body clothing is tattered, just like the beggar is ordinary. 待再醒过来时,他们发现自己已是躺在了昭幽山之下,发髻散乱,浑身衣衫破破烂烂,犹如乞丐一般。 These two shiver to crawl, was saying to Clear Nether Mountain on bitterly loudly: „Zhang Yan, we told you honestly, you then want to go to Alchemy Competition, was not necessarily able to leave resulted in Mountain Sect / Gate.” 这两人颤抖爬起,恨恨对着昭幽山上大声言道:“张衍,我们老实告诉你,你便是想赴丹会,也未必能出得了山门。” Such remarks, in the sky curls cool breeze suddenly, two people have a scare, thinks that Zhang Yan must make a move, is thrown into confusion to harness Profound Light, flees like a scared rat to go. 此言一出,天空中忽然卷一阵清风,两人吓了一跳,以为张衍又要出手,手忙脚乱地驾起玄光,抱头鼠窜而去。 Stands smiles in Liu Yanyi in the clouds, return / rotate Main Hall, said: „respected teacher, that two always tired of the thing to walk, but listened to their words, resembled also has the subsequent hand.” 站在云中的刘雁依轻轻一笑,回转大殿,道:“恩师,那两个老厌物走了,不过听他们话语,似是还有后手。” Zhang Yan said with a smile: „This matter you do not need multibarreled, master has to haggle over, and gets down.” 张衍笑道:“此事你不必多管,为师自有计较,且下去吧。” Liu Yanyi raises slightly a ritual, then from drawing back under. 刘雁依欠身一礼,便自退下。 Zhang Yan returned to Main Palace, closes the eyes sat in meditation. 张衍回了主府,闭目打坐去了。 So passed half a month, Clear Nether Heaven Lake is actually quiet, has not had any different matter to happen. 如此过了半月,昭幽天池却是平静无波,并未有什么异事发生。 However to Core Grade Daoist Assembly this day, beside Clear Nether Heaven Lake Mountain Sect / Gate, actually came two young daoist, sits toward that peak above, keeps silent respectively, is only eye of note Heaven Lake Mountain Sect / Gate. 然而到了品丹法会这一日,昭幽天池山门之外,却来了两名年轻道人,往那峰之上一坐,各自不言不语,只是目注天池山门。 One of them feather robe star crown, Spiritual Will is natural, the foot lay White Feathered Flying Sparrow, Zhang Yan was also once seeing this person, was with suppresses the monster with him in South Sweeping Lake Ren Mingyao, under the Daoist Meng place honorary disciple. 其中一人羽衣星冠,神意潇洒,脚边趴着一只白羽飞鹞,张衍也曾见此人,乃是与他同在南荡泽剿妖的任名遥,孟真人座下记名弟子。 But another person of look is mediocre, wears high crown, the black cloth Daoist robe binds the body, but a pair of pupil is actually nimble and resourceful exceptionally, fills colorfully, instead makes one see unforgettable. 而另一人相貌平庸,头戴高冠,青布道袍裹身,但一双眸子却是灵动异常,充满华彩,反而使人见之难忘。 This time they are Senior Brother hold this, must block that Zhang Yan to go Core Grade Assembly. 此番他们是一位师兄之托来此,要阻那张衍前去品丹大会。 Actually profound meaning Hu Zhili and Huo Zhiqi cannot see through, they in valiant disciple as Master and Disciples Lineage, how could also to be clear? 其实这其中深意胡至理与霍至器看不穿,他们身为师徒一脉中的矫矫弟子,又岂能不明白？ Zhang Yan regardless of Core Accomplishment several, high also good, low, in brief appears at the meeting of Core Grade, nothing more than loses face and to become famous two results, but any result, is not that Senior Brother is willing to see. 张衍无论丹成几品,高也好,低也罢,总之出现在品丹之会上,不外是丢脸和扬名两种结局,可无论是哪种结果,都不是那位师兄所愿意看到的。 Two people sit to the corner, sees water of one Heaven Lake to sway suddenly, array gate opens, the white fog flushed together instantly, wants to throw toward Azure Ocean Sect Mountain Sect / Gate. 两人坐到隅中时分,忽见天池之水一阵摇晃,阵门打开,一道白雾霎时冲了出来,欲往溟沧派山门投去。 The Ren Mingyao eye narrows the eyes, the knowledge is Zhang Yan comes out, immediately inspires the sleeve to set out, the foot steps on Flying Sparrow, blocks in the front, opens the mouth shouted: „Senior Brother Zhang, please wait / no need to see me out!” 任名遥眼睛一眯,知是张衍出来,立即振袖起身,脚踩飞鹞,拦在前方,开口喝道:“张师兄,留步！” But another high crown daoist also harnessed Mist Qi to come, to keep silent simultaneously to stand in another side, to the potential of Zhang Yan faintly to become Baojia. 而另一名高冠道人也是同时驾烟气而来,不言不语立在了另一侧,对张衍隐隐成包夹之势。 Zhang Yan as if slightly unconsciously accidental/surprised, the facial expression is calm, the smile said: „Originally is Senior Brother Ren, does not know this act what intent.” 张衍似乎丝毫不觉意外,神情从容,微笑言道:“原来是任师兄,不知道此举何意。” Ren Mingyao said solemnly: „Senior Brother Zhang, I and others was also held to block you in this, looking at you do not make me and other awkward, if you can return / rotate in the past, my two people not insist on not being able to pass with you.” 任名遥沉声道:“张师兄,我等也是受人所托在此阻你,望你不要令我等为难,若是你能回转过去,我二人也不会执意与你过不去。” Although he contacts really few with Zhang Yan, but also knows the opposite party is actually not easily the person of deigning to accept a post, is not the spoken language can to destabilize, past he was once pressed by Zhang Yan in leeward, at this time this, actually in heart not incomparably compared with heart. 他虽与张衍接触甚少,但也知对方却不是轻易屈就之人,不是言语所能动摇,昔日他曾被张衍压在下风,是以此番来此,实则心中也不无比较之心。 But another high crown daoist, is the vision brilliant is staring at Zhang Yan, strikes an attitude to want, resembling is so long as his does not comply, immediately then must make a move. 而另一名高冠道人,则是目光灼灼盯着张衍,作势欲动,似是只要他一个不答应,立刻便要出手。 Zhang Yan smiles lightly, said: „In view of this, that does not need to talk too much, hand/subordinate by true facts.” 张衍淡淡一笑,道:“既如此,那也不必多言,手下论真章吧。” His vision suddenly one cold, has not acted, but the aura surges, under two people Internal Qi Sense, thought suddenly all over the body lives coldly, as if opposite person of comparing was dangerous ten times to continue just now, in the heart a panic of dying in battle reason, the complexion changed, simultaneously suddenly/violently to retreat will go in the future. 他目光陡然一冷,还未出手,只是气息涌起,两人气机感应之下,忽觉得遍体生寒,似乎对面这人比之适才危险了十倍不止,心中一阵没来由的恐慌,脸色都是大变,齐齐往后暴退而去。 This flash, Ren Mingyao known Zhang Yan was not previously thought that simply, does not dare to make that independent combat to think, shouted greatly: „Junior Brother Huang, begins together.” 这一瞬间,任名遥已知张衍远不是自己先前想得那么简单,已不敢做那单打独斗之想,大喊道:“黄师弟,一起动手。” They just now have an action to perform, has vast sword glow to cut Shatter Void together, flies from Beyond the Heavens, two people only think that before one's eyes brilliance runs back and forth in confusion, thousands of strip sword qi sway, cold qi four overflow, cold Mangpo the neck, possibly seemed to be cut the head by a sword momentarily, under withdraws with amazement busily, the Ren Mingyao fright just decides, the throat moves, in a hoarse voice said: „Senior Brother Ning?” 只是他们方才有所动作,却有一道浩浩剑芒斩破虚空,自天外飞来,两人只觉眼前光华乱晃,千万条剑气挥洒下来,寒气肆溢,冷芒迫颈,似乎随时可能被一剑斩下头颅来,骇然之下忙退避开去,任名遥惊魂甫定,喉头一动,干涩道:“宁师兄？” The fog clouds a point, Ning Chongxuan trod void, the clothing flap flap, a person before, such as the sword across the sky, his vision swept cold, said lightly: „Junior Brother Zhang, you go for the time being, I looked that who dares to block you.” 雾云一分,宁冲玄踏出虚空,衣衫猎猎,一人在前,如剑横空,他目光冷然一扫,淡淡言道:“张师弟,你且自去,我看谁敢阻你。” Zhang Yan shows a faint smile, to a Ning Chongxuan submissively ritual, does not talk too much, then harnesses the cloud to walk, melts the white smoke to fly not to see together. 张衍微微一笑,对着宁冲玄拱手一礼,也不多言,便驾云而走,化一道白烟飞去不见。 Under the Ning Chongxuan gaze, Ren Mingxiao does not dare to have an action to perform with that high crown daoist unexpectedly, helpless looks at each other one, can only look at Zhang Yan to swagger away helplessly. 在宁冲玄注视之下,任名逍和那高冠道人竟丝毫不敢有所动作,无奈对视一眼,只能眼睁睁看着张衍扬长而去。 ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
