Zhang Yan treads the smoke to speed along, is wanting Ten Peaks Mountain, first with going to disciple gathers, at this time behind actually daoist stopped by calling him by far, said: „Martial Uncle Zhang invited please wait / no need to see me out temporarily.” 张衍踏烟飞驰,正欲出了十峰山,先与去门下一聚,这时身后却有一名道人远远将他喊住,道:“张师叔暂请留步。” He looks back looked, discovered this person knows actually, then when is that break array Zhou Xuan of driving making way way, stops the figure, said with a smile: „What matter does Martial Nephew Zhou ask me to have?” 他回首一看,发现此人倒是识得,便是那闯阵之时主动让开去路的周宣,就止住身形,笑道:“周师侄找我有何事？” Zhou Xuan caught up, the manner is quite respectful, bows said for the ritual: „Little nephew is presents the life of Master to come, asked Martial Uncle Zhang to go especially a meeting.” 周宣赶了上来,神态颇为恭敬,稽首为礼道:“小侄是奉家师之命而来,特来请张师叔前去一会。” Can Qi Yuntian look for itself? The Zhang Yan thought slightly transfers, the smile said: „Not is only Senior Brother Qi is invited, I from current.” 齐云天要找自己？张衍念头略转,微笑道:“既是齐师兄有请,我自当前去。” Zhou Xuan looks the happy expression, a ritual, said again: „Master is gathering sandpile immortal cave to wait now, but also asked Martial Uncle to come with the little nephew.” 周宣面露喜色,再行一礼,道:“家师如今在聚沙堆洞府相候,还请师叔随小侄来。” Today he also looks at Zhang Yan and Xiao Tang, Du De and the others fought, sees Zhang Yan also to fight a give-and-take with these two people, finally ends by the tie, admires in secret very much, by hearing Qi Yuntian has to intend to invite Zhang Yan, then volunteers for military service on own initiative. 今日他也看了张衍与萧傥,杜德等人交手,见张衍与这二人还能斗个有来有往,最后以平局收场,私下里也很是佩服的,是以听得齐云天有有意相请张衍,便主动请缨。 Zhang Yan goes along with him, north two Daoist Priest smoke look walk, soon, to a tide racing wells up sandbank near, this moment moonlight such as washed, only hears the roaring, the river bank has a long ship, resembles dragon Yada the boat size, baseless conjecture surface of the river one zhang (3.33 m), have the pearl halation to pass from the window openings, reflecting the river water confounded nuisance is faint, color wave flow of tears. 张衍随他而去,两道长烟望北而走,不多时,到了一处潮水奔涌的河滩边,此刻月光如洗,只闻涛声,河上有一艘长船,似龙牙大舟大小,虚悬江面一丈,有明珠晕光从窗隙之间透出来,映得江水宝气隐隐,彩波涟涟。 When Zhou Xuan first falls on the bow, goes forward several steps, raises that cabin jade curtain on own initiative, said: „Martial Uncle invited.” 周宣当先落在船头,上前几步,主动将那船舱玉帘一掀,道:“师叔请。” Zhang Yan stretched the body forward to take a step, enters in sect, the vision swept, seeing in the cabin was quite spacious, may accommodate several hundred people fully, at this moment twenty people sat on the seat, dozens young lad were constantly by the side. 张衍探身迈步,入得门中,目光扫了一圈,见舱中颇为宽敞,足可容纳数百人,此刻有二十几人坐在席上,几十名童子随侍在侧。 Qi Yuntian sits in center seat of honor, about on hand is Zhuang Bufan, the Luo Qingyu two people, again downward, Fang Hong that then Ning Chongxuan, Fan Changqing and the others, once had then had to do with him, Ren Mingyao also sits is one of them, in addition, more than ten have not seen daoist, at this moment all with carefully examining or the curious vision is taking a look at him. 齐云天则坐在正中主位,左右手边是庄不凡,洛清羽二人,再往下,则宁冲玄,范长青等人,便是与他曾打过交道的方洪,任名遥也坐在其中,除此之外,还有十多个未曾见过的道人,此刻俱是用审视或好奇的目光打量着他。 Qi Yuntian sees Zhang Yan to enter in the cabin, breaks into a hearty laugh, stands up saying: „Junior Brother Zhang also came, come, comes on the seat to sit down quickly.” 齐云天见张衍入得舱中,朗声一笑,站起身道:“张师弟也是来了,来,快来席上坐下。” The people see Qi Yuntian also to set out to welcome, though some people do not prefer, actually also has to stand. 众人见齐云天也起身相迎,虽则有些人并不情愿,却也不得不都站了起来。 Fan Changqing smiles to step onto, first with Zhang Yan smalltalk several, then presenting all people introduced with him. 范长青笑眯眯走上起来,先与张衍客套几句,再与他把在座诸人介绍了一番。 Zhang Yan then knows, presenting these daoist is Meng, vermilion, face/color, real four Daoist Master disciple, by vermilion, face two Daoist Master disciple are in the majority particularly, Daoist Sun disciple besides Ning Chongxuan, pours also two, although is also Core Transformation cultivator, but is the white first white hair, the old appearance, compared with the Ning Chongxuan like that thriving heroic bearing, is actually appears gradually old. 张衍这才知晓,在座这些道人皆是孟,朱,颜,真四位真人门下,尤其是以朱,颜两位真人门下弟子居多,孙真人门下除宁冲玄之外,倒也有两人,虽也是化丹修士,但俱是皓首白发,耄耋之貌,与宁冲玄那般勃发英姿相比,却是显得垂垂老矣。 So looks , only Zhang Yan present only then one person is not the Heavenly Cave Daoist disciple family background, appears quite Foreign Kind, but people, although does not come to speak with him, actually sits to him here but actually also and has no objection. 如此一看,此间在座,唯独张衍只有一人不是洞天真人门下出身,显得颇为异类,不过众人虽不来与他说话,却对他坐在这里倒也并无什么异议。 Zhang Yan is also well aware, if not for above Grand Competition successive fights two Aristocratic Family disciple, oneself strength has approved for the people today, feared that is tonight also has nothing the qualifications to be incurred to here. 张衍也是心知肚明,若不是今日大比之上连战两位世家弟子,自身实力已为众人所认可,怕是今夜也无有资格被招至此处。 Again after people smalltalk several, he then sat down in next by the Fan Changqing arrangement. 再与众人客套了几句后,他便被范长青安排在下首坐下。 Seeing the person is simultaneously arrives, the Qi Yuntian eyes looks toward below, one by one glance, as long as contacts his vision, is the heart one cold, unconscious low, only listens to his sinking sound saying: „Today summons Junior Brother to come this, informs you, from the tomorrow's beginning, after 7 th, numerous disciple does not get master life/command, can not go to battle.” 见人已是齐至,齐云天双眼朝下望来,逐一扫视,但凡接触到他目光者,都是心头一凛,不自觉把头低下,只听他沉声言道:“今日召诸位师弟来此,乃是告知你们,自明日始,至七日后,众弟子不得师命,不得自行出战。” „What?” Listened to this saying, disciple loses the sound said: Eldest Senior Brother, this, is this what intent? ” “什么？”听了这话,有一名弟子不禁失声道:大师兄,这,这是何意？” In the people heart filled was puzzled and amazed, Grand Competition altogether was on the 7 th, if what did not do, this did sit in a big way by Aristocratic Family? Actually is this what intent? 众人心中都是充满了不解和惊诧,大比共是七日,若是什么也不做,这岂不是由得世家坐大么？这究竟是何意？ Several people secret look toward Ning Chongxuan, if that is right, this said...... Qi Yuntian also looks to Ning Chongxuan, said slowly: „Junior Brother Ning, Martial Uncle Sun has also said with you, this Grand Competition, you do not need to struggle again.” 有几人不禁暗暗朝宁冲玄瞧去,若是如此,这岂不是说……齐云天也是看向宁冲玄,缓缓言道:“宁师弟,想必孙师叔也与你说过,此次大比,你也无需再去争了。” The Ning Chongxuan sitting silently moment, stands up later, the clear and resonant voice said: „Master assigns/life is absolute, since respected teacher said that that Chongxuan was disciple, from, when complied with.” 宁冲玄默坐片刻,随后站起身,朗声言道:“师命不可违,既是恩师所言,那冲玄身为弟子,自当遵从。” The people look at each other in blank dismay, if Ning Chongxuan this time can not the high-rank, that mean next time Grand Competition, was still not one's turn them. 众人面面相觑,若是宁冲玄此次不得上位,那就意味着下次大比,仍旧是轮不到他们。 However presents all people is also the fool, Qi Yuntian, although has not stated clearly, but they can also guess correctly, this stems from inciting of that several Heavenly Cave Daoist surely. 不过在座诸人也都是不是蠢人,齐云天虽未明说,但他们也能猜出,这定是出自那几位洞天真人的授意。 Although in the heart refused to accept, but numerous disciple actually also has saying: „I and others respectfully followed the life of Eldest Senior Brother.” 尽管心中有所不服,但众弟子却也不得不言道:“我等谨遵大师兄之命。” The Zhang Yan vision flashes slightly, perhaps others are not clear, but he is the heart is bright. 张衍目光微微闪动,或许他人不明白,但他却是心头豁亮。 Master and Disciples Lineage this movement, with happening to hold the same view that in his heart previously speculated. 师徒一脉这番动作,正与他心中先前所推测的不谋而合。 If so, then he gets down one step especially essential, does not make the least bit mistake possibly, if succeeds, then oneself then can reach the sky in a single bound! 若真是如此,那么他下来一步尤为关键,不容许有半点差错,如若成功,那么自己就此便能一步登天！ But he also knows, this act actually also needs a luck ingredient. 但他也知晓,此举却也需一点运气成分在内。 However the human affairs cannot be very pleasant, so long as uses strives full power, one side the success or failure victory and defeat then first places, otherwise is overcautious and indecisive, instead cannot accomplish. 不过世事并不能十分如意,只要倾尽全力去争取,成败胜负便先放在一边,否则瞻前顾后,反而不能成事。 He deeply inspires, in the vision shows color of the resolution. 他深深吸了一口气,目光中透出一股坚定之色。 Qi Yuntian confessed after these words, then beckons with the hand, dispatches to draw back numerous disciple, only keeps Fan Changqing in the side. 齐云天交代了这几句话后,便摆摆手,将众弟子遣退,只留范长青在侧。 Audience disciple all has the resentful color to go out, Ning Chongxuan comes to greet with Zhang Yan actually, then raises the curtain. 众弟子皆是带着悻悻之色出门,宁冲玄倒是过来与张衍打了个招呼,便掀帘而出。 The Zhang Yan careful observation, actually sees above his facial expression the tranquil piece, anything cannot look. 张衍仔细观察,却见他脸容之上平静一片,什么也看不出来。 After resulting in the people diverge, Qi Yuntian looks, actually sees Zhang Yan not to walk only, then calls him to, said benignly: „Junior Brother Zhang, whether the words do need with say for the brother?” 待得众人散去后,齐云天瞧了一眼,却见独独张衍没走,便把他唤至跟前,和颜悦色地说道:“张师弟,是否还有话要与为兄说？” Zhang Yan shows a faint smile, said: „Good, Senior Brother just now said that me and others to abandon this Grand Competition, does not need to struggle that seating order, but Junior Brother my actually law, deciding to make Senior Brother Ning this time one of the that Ten Great Disciples, does not know whether Senior Brother did have interest one hear?” 张衍微微一笑,道:“不错,师兄方才所言,是要我等弃了此次大比,无需去争那座次,不过师弟我却有一法,定能让宁师兄此次成为那十大弟子之一,不知师兄是否有兴趣一听呢？” The color of Qi Yuntian slightly present accident/surprise, he actually not anxiously question, but hesitated a while, later the flashing eyes look at Zhang Yan, said: „If Junior Brother Zhang really has this law, might as well said that that Grand Competition, must also win one for the brother for you next time.” 齐云天略现意外之色,他倒是并不急着发问,而是沉吟了一会儿,随后目光炯炯地看着张衍,道:“若是张师弟真有此法,不妨说出,那下次大比,为兄必也为你争得一席。” Zhang Yan does not care about anything next time Grand Competition, according to him previously thinks, so long as this First Step walks, then the following matter is also logical, does not use again and other years, oneself are also the same can the high-rank. 张衍并不在意什么下次大比,按他先前所想,只要这第一步走成,那么后续之事也是顺理成章,不用再等二十四年,自己也一样能够上位。 He smiles, cups one hand in the other across the chest, said: „May I ask Senior Brother, whether has sat above this for more than 300 years?” 他笑了笑,一拱手,道:“敢问师兄,是否已在此位之上坐得三百余年了？” Qi Yuntian nodded said: „Good, is 336 years.” 齐云天颌首言道:“不错,已是三百三十六年了。” Zhang Yan stands up, seriously to a Qi Yuntian ritual, loudly said: „Then asked Senior Brother to abdicate to give up one's post to a more qualified person ahead of time, then Senior Brother Ning must be able the high-rank.” 张衍站起身来,郑重向齐云天一礼,大声道:“那么便请师兄提前退位让贤,则宁师兄必能上位。” „What?” “什么？” Fan Changqing in great surprise, jumps to point at Zhang Yan saying: „Junior Brother Zhang, your what wicked scheme, has not taken back this language in a big hurry.” 身旁范长青大惊,跳起来指着张衍言道:“张师弟,你这出得什么鬼主意,还不快快收回此语。” Zhang Yan actually pays no attention to him, but is staring at Qi Yuntian , to continue saying: „How does Senior Brother think?” 张衍却不理他,只是盯着齐云天,继续言道:“师兄以为如何？” Qi Yuntian actually does not lose one's temper, but in the facial expression actually appears the color of looking thoughtful. 齐云天却并不动怒,只是神情之中却现出若有所思之色。 Fan Changqing is also a smart person, after being excited just now, was calm also to think of anything. 范长青也是聪明人,适才激动之后,镇定下来也想到了什么。 His knitting the brows moment, deliberately considered a while, only ponders over a flavor to come, but some keys have not actually thought through. 他皱眉片刻,寻思了一会儿,也只琢磨出一点味道来,但却还有些关键之处未曾想通。 He looked up Zhang Yan, is sideways, looked at Qi Yuntian, during saw him to think deeply, actually does not dare to make noise to disturb. 他抬头看了看张衍,又侧过身来,望了望齐云天,见其正在深思之中,却也不敢出声搅扰。 After Qi Yuntian thought some little time, just now raised the head, was saying to Zhang Yan earnestly: „Junior Brother Zhang, this position is extremely important to others, but to for the brother actually has been dispensable, does not need unable to hate to leave the stable. Ten Great Disciples also only may sit for 360 years, 24 years, are the brother must go to the position to give up one's post to a more qualified person again, but if at present for Junior Brother Ning one person, actually rather some gains don't equal the loss.” 齐云天思索了好一会儿后,方才抬起头,对着张衍认真说道:“张师弟,此位对他人来说极其重要,但对为兄来说却早已是可有可无,无需恋栈不去。况且十大弟子也只可坐上三百六十年,再有二十四年,为兄也要去位让贤矣,但若眼下只是为了宁师弟一人,却未免有些得不偿失。” If Qi Yuntian draws back, that Ten Great Disciples naturally vacates a seating order, in such situation, is the fill vacancy, then Ning Chongxuan must be able to sit logically, is Aristocratic Family that several Daoist Master is also in no position prevents. 若是齐云天一退,那十大弟子自然空出一个座次,在此等情形下,为填补空缺,那么宁冲玄必能顺理成章坐上去,便是世家那几位真人也无由阻止。 But in Master and Disciples Lineage only depends on Qi Yuntian one person now in the support general situation, once if give away the position of Chief, the situation is inevitably disadvantageous to them. 可如今师徒一脉之中只靠齐云天一人在支撑大局,若是一旦让出首座之位,局势必然对他们不利。 Huo Xuan ranked the second only misses one step, then can enter that Nascent Soul Realm. If this person one, but ties the infant, the both sides strength inclines greatly. 要知道,排名第二的霍轩只差一步,便能入那元婴境界。若是此人一但结婴,那双方实力更是大为倾斜。 Aristocratic Family braves above this Grand Competition with the risk that Master and Disciples Lineage gets angry, must block the Ning Chongxuan high-rank, feared that also hits to tow 24 years of idea again, at that time Qi Yuntian went, the situation then improved greatly. 世家之所以在此次大比之上冒着和师徒一脉翻脸的风险,也要阻宁冲玄上位,怕也打得再拖上二十四年的主意,那时齐云天一去,局势便大为改观了。 Zhang Yan laughed very loudly, said: „Senior Brother does not need to worry for this reason, Junior Brother has a word to consider it, this matter can approximately.” 张衍放声一笑,道:“师兄无需为此忧心,师弟有一言告之,此事便可无虑也。” Before he gathers up, the lip opening and closing, said several anything in a low voice. 他凑上前,嘴唇翕动,低声说了几句什么。 Even if by the Qi Yuntian city mansion, after listening to these words, is still fierce raised the head, an eye of note on Zhang Yan, puts for a very long time takes back, he had the profound meaning to say greatly, said: „Junior Brother, you.” 即便以齐云天的城府,听了这番话后,也是猛一抬头,目注在张衍身上,久久放才收回,他大有深意地说了一句,道:“师弟,你果真了得。” Listens to his sound of talking to imply the meaning of appreciation, in the Zhang Yan heart certain, has the full assurance to own previous inference. 听他语声中暗含赞赏之意,张衍心中一定,对自己的先前推断已有了十足把握。 Pushing the Ning Chongxuan high-rank is only his First Step, but Second Step just now is his true goal place. 推宁冲玄上位只是他第一步,而第二步方才是他真正目的所在。 By the present, Zhang Yan has been able to say said that can do also did, then, only looked how Qi Yuntian chose. 到了如今,张衍已把能说得都说了,能做得也都做了,接下来,只看齐云天如何抉择了。 Qi Yuntian has not called him to be disappointed, is only the ponder moment, got down the resolution, said: „If that is right, is worth trying actually, under my the seat lets, there are why not?” 齐云天没有叫他失望,只是沉思片刻,就下了决断,言道:“若是如此,倒是十分值得一试,我这底下座位让出来,又有何妨？” The Zhang Yan spirit inspires, follows saying: „Senior Brother, this plan, when takes in one unexpectedly, is not easy to make several Daoist Master know, so as to avoid coming up in great numbers and from all sides variable.” 张衍精神一振,又跟着说道:“师兄,此策当取在一个出其不意,不易让几位真人知晓,免得横生变数。” Qi Yuntian both eyes divine light appears externally, the sinking sound said: „Considers so.” 齐云天双目神光外露,沉声言道:“当是如此。” When two people spoke just now, isolated the sound with profound art, has not heard clearly to say by Fan Changqing is anything, but heard two people to conceal several Daoist Master at this moment to handle affairs alone, amazed inexplicable, urgently said greatly: „Senior Brother, is surely prudent!” 适才两人说话时,用玄功将声音隔绝了去,是以范长青也未曾听清说得是什么,但此刻听得二人要隐瞒几位真人单独行事,不由惊诧莫名,大急道:“师兄,千万要慎重啊！” His another turns around, is startled to get angry to Zhang Yan: „Junior Brother, actually did you talk nonsense what to Eldest Senior Brother?” 他又一转身,对着张衍惊怒道:“师弟,你究竟对大师兄胡言乱语些什么？” Qi Yuntian actually beckoned with the hand, preventing Fan Changqing saying that was saying to the Zhang Yan bold air-drying cloud: „Junior Brother, your intention I see, this strategy is good, then according to this idea handles affairs, I as 3rd Generation Eldest Senior Brother, this take on or have, if afterward several Daoist Master blame, has undertakes for a brother strength , there is nothing to do with you.” 齐云天却是一摆手,阻止范长青说下去,对着张衍豪气干云地言道:“师弟,你之心意我已明白,这计策甚好,便按此计行事,我身为三代大师兄,这点担待还是有的,事后几位真人若是怪罪下来,自有为兄一力承担,与你无关。” These words saying, Fan Changqing was startled, his lip trembled several, actually also can only shut up to sigh does not say. 这番话一说出来,范长青不由怔住,他嘴唇哆嗦了几下,却也只能闭嘴叹气不言。 The Zhang Yan secret nod, his plan key falls on Qi Yuntian. 张衍暗暗点头,他这番筹谋关键就落在齐云天身上。 However makes a decision actually is really difficult, even there are the possibilities and several Daoist Master intentions contradicts, it can be imagined, Qi Yuntian must sustain what pressure, if this person does not dare to take this step, then he must seek his law in addition. 不过决断却甚是难下,甚至有可能和几位真人意图相悖,可想而知,齐云天要承担何种压力,若是此人不敢迈出这一步,那么他就要另寻他法了。 However at present looks like, the Qi Yuntian fruit such as he previously expected general, worthily the head of 3rd Generation disciple, not only dares to take on, but also some big determinations, big breadth of spirit! 不过眼下看来,齐云天果如他先前所料一般,不愧三代弟子之首,不但敢于担当,而且有大决心,大气魄！ When the Zhang Yan stride goes out of the long boat, looks up, sees bright moonlight Linjiang above wave crest, the smoke wave ripples, today these step goes out, his private then became the car(riage) of crossing river, in the future will work as to be possible vertically and horizontally/able to move unhindered the chessgame, looking disdainfully many colleagues! 张衍大步走出长舟时,抬头一看,见潮头之上的明月临江,烟波荡漾,今日这一步走出,原本他这枚小卒便成了过河之车,日后当可纵横棋局,睥睨群伦！ ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
