When Zhang Yan arrives in Inspiration Courtyard, is Vice Courtyard Master surnamed Yin comes out to entertain personally, asked into the institute hall to take a seat him. 张衍到得灵机院中时,是一名姓殷的副掌院亲自出来招待,又将其请入了院厅之中落座。 After saying two idly, Zhang Yan simply said had/left the purpose in coming. 闲言了两句之后,张衍便道出了来意。 Hears him to want that Redundant Violet Astral Sand, this flourishing Vice Courtyard Master was actually startled was startled, he beckoned, said to a Deacon Daoist injunction: „Goes to bring that surplus Astral Sand.” 听闻他想要那紫盈罡砂,这名殷副掌院却是怔了一怔,他招招手,对一名执事道人嘱咐道:“去把那剩余的罡砂取来。” Hears the surplus two characters, in the Zhang Yan eye the ray to move slightly. 听得剩余二字,张衍眼中光芒不禁微微动了动。 That Deacon Daoist raises slightly, turns around, how long , without held a jade box to come up, suspends on the table. 那执事道人一个欠身,就转身出去,未有多久,托了一只玉盒上来,摆到了桌案上。 flourishing Vice Courtyard Master extended one, lifted that lid, revealing the purple light was flickering, put in cage smoke dense under dozens Astral Sand. 殷副掌院伸出一手,将那盒盖掀开,露出其中紫光荧荧,置于笼烟氤氲之下的数十枚罡砂。 He said apologetically: „Also asked Courtyard Master Zhang to forgive, in Inspiration Courtyard hid Redundant Violet Astral Sand is not many, was taken just now much, therefore only other these more than ten.” 他歉然道:“还请张掌院体谅,灵机院中所藏紫盈罡砂本就不多,适才又被人取走了不少,所以只余下这十几枚了。” Zhang Yan looked at one, Astral Sand only enough his several days that in this box lays aside, obviously is extremely scarce. 张衍看了一眼,这盒中所放置的罡砂只够他数日之用,显然是太过稀少。 However he was the look was still quiet, imitates asks at will: „Does not know whether flourishing Courtyard Master considered, which same sect were these by in sect are removed?” 不过他仍是神色平静,仿似随意问道:“不知殷掌院可否告,那些是被门中哪一位同门取去了？” flourishing Vice Courtyard Master slightly reveal smiling face, the revolution of vision on the Zhang Yan face, slowed down the intonation saying: „Is that Ten Peaks Mountain comes up a maid.” 殷副掌院微露笑容,目光在张衍脸上一转,放缓语调道:“是那十峰山上来得一名婢女。” „Ten Peaks Mountain?” “十峰山？” Zhang Yan understands clearly the nod, now can in this boundary synonym, that then only have Huo Xuan one person! 张衍了然点头,如今能以这处地界代称的,那便唯有霍轩一人了！ However Huo Xuan does not study that Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, to remove this Redundant Violet Astral Sand is also useless, moreover this matter so fortunately, he does not need to think, knows the opposite party this act to have the profound meaning, otherwise is impossible to say the whereabouts truthfully. 不过霍轩并不修习那紫霄神雷,是以把这紫盈罡砂取去也是无用,而且此事又这般凑巧,他不用多想,也知对方此举必有深意,否则也不可能如实说出去向。 Read and here, he also had no interest in remain, stands up, bows said: „many thanks flourishing Courtyard Master informed, says goodbye.” 念及此处,他也无心多留,站起身来,稽首道:“多谢殷掌院告知,告辞了。” As soon as he flings the sleeve, curled that jade box, turned around to stride. 他一甩袖,将那玉盒卷了进来,转身跨步而出。 flourishing Courtyard Master set out to return a courtesy, gazes after Zhang Yan to have the gate, he is stroking the beard, resembled is thinking deeply about anything, after a while, he said: „Comes the person.” 殷掌院起身回礼,目送张衍出得门去,他捋着胡须,似在思索什么,过了一会儿,他道:“来人。” That Deacon disciple walked, said: „Does Courtyard Master have what instruction?” 那名执事弟子走了上来,道:“掌院有何吩咐？” flourishing Vice Courtyard Master narrowed the eye saying: „You look for Elder Chen disciple to eavesdrop on some news, actually has a look at Senior Brother Huo what intent, remember, do not enable others to know, does not need saying that is I asks.” 殷副掌院眯眼道:“你去找陈长老门下探听些消息,看看霍师兄究竟何意,记住,勿要使得他人知晓,也无需说是我问的。” The Deacon nod said: „disciple receives an order.” 执事点头道:“弟子领命。” After Zhang Yan has Inspiration Courtyard, had the method of sword escape, wards off the skylight rainbow together, flies toward that Ten Peaks Mountain. 张衍出得灵机院后,就起了剑遁之法,辟天光虹一道,往那十峰山飞去。 However moment, arrived at Grand Ardent Land, flies toward the place of that high point vertical, finds daoist that by far wears the homespun cloth Daoist robe stands above Gaoyan. 不过须臾,就到了鸿烈陆洲,往那最高峰之处一路飞纵,就远远瞧见一名身着粗布道袍的道人站在高岩之上。 Was that Huo Xuan has waited unexpectedly here, Zhang Yan pressed to fall the cloud top, bowed lightly, said: „Has seen Senior Brother Huo.” 竟是那霍轩早已在此等候,张衍把云头按落,淡淡一稽首,道:“见过霍师兄。” Huo Xuan smiles, a finger/refers immortal cave, said behind: „Junior Brother thinks that is that Redundant Violet Astral Sand comes, this matter is not anxious, and comes to chat.” 霍轩笑了笑,一指身后洞府,道:“师弟想必是那紫盈罡砂而来,此事不急,且进来叙话。” Zhang Yan has a hand arch, as then he entered immortal cave. 张衍起手一拱,便随着他入了洞府。 Although this Ten Peaks Mountain summit is Spiritual Qi is also rich, in the past Qi Yuntian was also only in sect Grand Competition came here. But after Huo Xuan became the heads of that ten disciple, treated as the institute of long occupying this place actually, but also many ornaments in the hole moved here. 这十峰山巅虽也是灵气浓郁,但过去齐云天也只是门中大比之时才来此处。可霍轩成了那十弟子之首后,倒是把此地当作了久居之所,还把洞中诸多摆设搬来了此处。 Zhang Yan one step steps into, discovered that this immortal cave is not big, about is about 56 zhang (3.33 m), on top -and-a-half fifteenth day holes. 张衍一步踏入,发现这处洞府不大,左右不过五六丈,在顶上开了一处半月望洞。 Among the arrangement is also extremely simple, besides a plan several, several rush cushions, suspended one to refresh one's spirits the incense burner, except this unexpectedly was no other otherness, was actually ordinary like the clear painstaking cultivation gentleman dwelling place. 其内布置也是极简单,除了一方案几,几只蒲团之外,也就摆了一只宁神香炉,除此竟是别无他物,倒是如同清苦修士居处一般。 Zhang Yan is astonished, by the Huo Xuan status, actually only lives in such big immortal cave, must be inferior compared with that Miao Kun, really unexpected. 张衍不禁微讶,以霍轩的身份,竟然只住这么大的洞府,比那苗坤还要不如,实在令人意想不到。 Two people after above that rush cushion sits down, Huo Xuan from sleeve pocket in that bag „Redundant Violet Astral Sand” puts out, puts out a hand to push, delivers it to Zhang Yan in front, said with a smile meaningfully: „divine ability Dao Technique cultivation is not easy, when this Astral Sand needs Nascent Soul Daoist to above the highest heaven cultivation, can pick conveniently, usually is also not many, if were removed for no reason, wants to result in again comes, actually does not know how long must use, my time can help Junior Brother one time, but if will have again next time, will be is not good to act, and Junior Brother received carefully.” 两人在那蒲团之上坐下之后,霍轩就自袖囊中将那一袋“紫盈罡砂”拿出,伸手一推,就将其送至张衍面前,意味深长地笑道:“神通道术修炼不易,这罡砂需元婴真人去往极天之上修炼之时,方能顺手采得,平日也是不多,若是被人无故取去,再想得来,却不知要用上多久,我此次能助师弟一次,但若再有下次,也是不好出手,师弟且小心收好了。” His these words saying clearly, this is tells some Zhang Yan people not to look at him to be able calm and steady cultivation that Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, by wanting to create difficulties, but Huo Xuan upon learning this, one step took these Astral Sand ahead of time. 他这番话说得再明白不过,这是告诉张衍有人不愿意看他能安稳修炼那紫霄神雷,是以欲从中作梗,不过霍轩得知之后,提前一步将那些罡砂取了过来。 Zhang Yan is well aware, the opposite party sells his favor intentionally, decides must have its reason, not for no reason for no reason cheap oneself. 张衍心知肚明,对方故意卖他一个人情,定也必有其因,不会平白无故便宜了自己。 He looked at these Astral Sand, does not put out a hand to take. Gives a calm smile, said: „Senior Brother, if has what injunction, but also please speak frankly.” 他看了一眼那些罡砂,并不伸手去拿。只是淡然一笑,道:“师兄若有什么嘱咐,还请直言。” Huo Xuan smiles, does not beat around the bush, said: „That was the brother then spoke frankly, Junior Brother Zhang, hears that four Lower Academy True Disciple not to have the immortal cave placement, at this incident, but also please stretch the rules one or two.” 霍轩笑了笑,也不绕弯子,道:“那为兄便直言了,张师弟,听闻那四名下院真传弟子至今还未有洞府安置,此一事上,还请你通融一二。” Originally although that four Aristocratic Family True Disciple had had Lower Academy, urgently awaits to seek good immortal cave cultivation, may because of not probably the life of Zhang Yan, Sky Leaping Pavilion not dare to independently decide, to still in the residing temporarily clan, Huo Xuan say, is this matter. 原来那四位世家真传弟子虽已出了下院,亟待寻一处上好洞府修行,可因不得张衍之命,跃天阁不敢自作主张,是以至今仍寄居族中,霍轩所说,便是此事。 This is not Zhang Yan intends awkwardly, but these date and time come him to rush about back and forth, these minor matters put for the time being in one side. 这倒并非张衍有意为难,只是这些时日来他来回奔波,这些小事就暂且搁在了一边。 Among Zhang Yan looks slightly present surprise, if said Huo Xuan for only this grade of minor matter helps one another in oneself, his actually some do not believe. 张衍神色间略现诧异,若说霍轩只为了这等小事就相助于自己,他却有些不信。 He changes mind thinks, since the opposite party did not state clearly, oneself do not need to speak to ask on own initiative. 他又转念一想,对方既然不明说,自己不必主动出言相问。 Thought deeply about a while, then pushes the boat along saying: „This non- difficult matter, since the Senior Brother opens the mouth, that Junior Brother I then go back to arrange quite.” 思索了一会儿,便顺水推舟道:“此非难事,既然师兄开口,那师弟我便回去好生安排。” Huo Xuan is very polite, said submissively: „That asked Junior Brother.” 霍轩很是客气,拱手道:“那就拜托师弟了。” Zhang Yan stands up, said: „Little brother still also the important matter managed, did not remain in the Senior Brother place.” 张衍站起身,道:“小弟尚还有一桩要事去办,就不在师兄处多留了。” Huo Xuan also sets out, nodded said: „Junior Brother is good to walk, then does not deliver for the brother.” 霍轩亦是起身,颌首道:“师弟好走,为兄便不送了。” Zhang Yan bowed, sprinkles however had/left immortal cave. ” 张衍一个稽首,洒然出了洞府。” After Zhang Yan walks, Huo Xuan heavy sits down, sneers, ponders to say secretly: „These Elder is it possible that dotards inadequate, pinches by Redundant Violet Astral Sand, but also thinks seriously Zhang Yan didn't have other means to obtain this thing?” 张衍走后,霍轩重又坐下,冷笑一声,暗忖道:“那些长老莫非老糊涂了不成,以紫盈罡砂相挟,还当真以为张衍没有别的办法取得此物了么？” He previously met letter, is Chen Clan several Elder sends , the matter of confession was not in his surface says so with ease, but wanted him to try Redundant Violet Astral Sand to take, did not give Zhang Yan to stay behind a tiny bit, its goal was not complex. 他先前所接书信,乃是陈族几名长老发来,所交代之事也绝非他表面上说得这般轻松,而是要他设法将紫盈罡砂取走,不给张衍留下一丝半毫,其目的也不复杂。 Zhang Yan wields Lower Academy, the card resulted in Aristocratic Family is quite uncomfortable, the date and time is long, who knows that what move he will make? 张衍执掌下院,本就卡得世家好生难受,时日一长,谁又知道他会弄出什么动静来？ Is seeking to act bashful the Zhang Yan place by Aristocratic Family by any means possible, but hears Zhang Yan to practice that Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, then prepares immediately. 是以世家千方百计在寻能拿捏住张衍的地方,而一听闻张衍要练那紫霄神雷,便立刻准备从中着手。 But the Huo Xuan vision is long-term, knows that Lower Academy pattern has become, restoring old look that is nonsensical talk, is not a Zhang Yan person can take responsibility. 但霍轩目光长远,知道那下院格局已成,恢复旧观那是无稽之谈,也不是张衍一个人能做主的。 And observes the Zhang Yan previous behavior, is seemingly intense, but always leaves leeway the bottom line, if forces strongly, only meets the misdemeanor. 且观张衍先前所为,看似激烈,但总是留有底线,若是强硬逼迫,只会坏事。 Does not pay attention to by him, believes oneself sell its favor, in the Zhang Yan inevitable heart have several. 是以他并不理睬,相信自己卖其一个人情,张衍必然心中有数。 He thinks here, actually listens to sound of footsteps in broken bits to get up, lifts to look, actually sees one to throw over the overcoat, the surface like the full moon, the pretty solemn female walked from immortal cave outside, follows two pretty maidservants, since her delicate eyebrows are pressed, in the foreheads slightly reveals the color of hidden bitterness. 他在这里思索,却听有细碎脚步声起,抬首看去,却见一名披着大氅,面如满月,貌美端庄的女子自洞府外走了进来,身后跟着两个俏丽小婢,她秀眉蹙起,眉宇间略显幽怨之色。 Huo Xuan stood, is astonished saying: „Madame, you how hence?” 霍轩不禁站了起来,讶道:“夫人,你怎么至此？” Madame Chen faintly said: „Master from moving in raises to refine magical treasure in Ten Peaks Mountain, long has not returned home.” 陈夫人幽幽道:“老爷自搬来在十峰山养炼法宝,已是久不回府了。” Huo Xuan heaved a deep sigh, said: „Madame is not does not know that Demon Tribulation will get up, now I for the heads of ten disciple, how can also not plan attentively, to evade this tribulation?” 霍轩长叹一声,道:“夫人又不是不知,那魔劫将起,如今我为十弟子之首,又怎能不用心筹谋,以避此劫？” Madame Chen sighed gently, said: „Your humble wife understands the Master thoughts, but the couple is a body, Master wants to make anything, do not conceal your humble wife, in that clan the elder admonished at times, your humble wife also quite felt feel wronged.” 陈夫人轻轻一叹,道:“贱妾明白老爷的心思,只是夫妻本是一体,老爷要要做什么,也不要隐瞒贱妾,那族中长辈时时来训话,贱妾也是颇感委屈。” A side maid is also interposes: „Son-in-Law/Young Master, Mistress for you, but received scolded much.” 旁侧一名婢女也是插话道:“姑爷,娘子为了你,可是受了不少责骂。” Huo Xuan some do not endure, go forward several steps, grips the sprout/slender white hand of female, said: „For husband is not, calling the madame to be difficult to do.” 霍轩似也有些不忍,上前几步,握住女子的柔荑,道:“都是为夫的不是,叫夫人难做了。” Madame Chen goes near two steps, lowers the head saying: „Master knows This Mistress pains to be good, right......” 陈夫人靠前两步,垂首道:“老爷知晓妾身一片苦心就好,对了……” She resembles remembers anything, lifts the small head, said: „When your humble wife comes this, three paternal aunts once confessed......” 她似是想起什么,抬起螓首,道:“贱妾来此之时,三姑姑曾交代一事……” „What matter?” “何事？” The Madame Chen eye pours his surface, said: „Three paternal aunts look after you, since must receive that Redundant Violet Astral Sand, that many will receive many in the future, absolutely should not made that anything Zhang Yan easily result.” 陈夫人目注他面,道:“三姑姑关照你,既然要收那紫盈罡砂,那日后有多少收多少,万万不可让那什么张衍轻易得了去。” Huo Xuan heart next smile, this „three paternal aunts” with that Xiao family Xiao Musui are Dao Companion, in sect hearsay Xiao Musui died because of Zhang Yan, having this thoughts is not but actually strange. 霍轩心下一哂,这“三姑姑”与那萧氏的萧穆岁本是道侣,门中传闻萧穆岁因张衍而死,有这心思倒也不奇怪。 Does not have the consideration prematurely, in the heart decides does not pay attention. 不过早有思量,心中打定主意不去理会。 But in his surface said with a smile: „This minor matter ear, the madame felt relieved, goes back to inform three paternal aunt one, if has Astral Sand for the husband in the hand, decided not to call that Zhang Yan to take.” 但他面上还是含笑言道:“此小事耳,夫人放心,回去告知三姑姑一声,若为夫有罡砂在手,定不叫那张衍取了去。” Madame Chen beams into a smile, said: „That was then good.” 陈夫人欣然一笑,道:“那便好了。” She looked at surrounding one , the backhand grips tightly the hand of Huo Xuan, sighed: „Master here poor was extremely crude, your humble wife this time brought the thing of many decoration, Master could not refuse.” 她看了周围一眼,又反手紧握住霍轩的手,叹道:“老爷这里太过寒酸简陋了,贱妾此次带来了不少装点之物,老爷万勿推却。” Saying, her was not asking that the meaning of Huo Xuan, then sleeve gestures, shook on the have several hundred pearl household utensils, the delicate fingers even/including selects several points, arranged immortal cave. 说着,她也不问霍轩之意,便一抖袖,就有数百明珠器皿抖了出来,纤指连点几点,就将洞府重新布置了一番。 She looks in the hole Man Shisheng splendor, satisfaction nods, actually not detect(ed) Huo Xuan eyeground flashes through a disfavor. 她看着洞中满室生辉,满意点头,却不察觉霍轩眼底闪过一丝不悦之色。 The couple long time does not meet, said for a long time the words, until at nightfall, because of fearing to delay Huo Xuan cultivation, Madame Chen just now depart. 夫妻二人久不见面,又说了许久话,直到入夜,因怕耽误霍轩修行,陈夫人方才离去。 After Madame Chen walks, in the Huo Xuan eye tender feelings honey intent completely goes, heavy replies piece of clear and bright, wields the sleeve unemotionally, decorated to curl full Shi, heavy restored the original appearance. 待陈夫人走后,霍轩眼中柔情蜜意尽去,重又回复一片清明,面无表情一挥袖,又把满室摆设卷了去,重又恢复原来之貌。 He sits above the rush cushion, the eye looks at the hole to withstand/top that half a month gap, looks that clear splendor cold and still ray sprinkles. 他坐在蒲团之上,眼望洞顶那一处半月缺口,看着那清辉冷寂的光芒洒落进来。 In the Madame Chen spoken language suggested to remind him just now repeatedly, why do not forget oneself this position to come, do not make matter out of the ordinary, if in the clan had what words to confess, looked at him easily do not shirk. 适才陈夫人言语之中多次暗示提醒他,不要忘了自己这地位因何而来,不要做出出格之事,族中若有什么话交代下来,望他不要轻易推脱。 Huo Xuan reveals to sneer, he arrives with great difficulty this step, by oneself this time position, how also to be resigned to be bustled about by Chen Clan willfully? 霍轩露出冷笑,他好不容易走到这一步,以自己今时今日之地位,又怎甘心被陈氏任意驱驰？ Although he is the Chen Clan son in law who takes wife's name, but is not willing to make a being a go-between puppet. 他虽是陈氏赘婿,但并不愿意做一个牵线木偶。 Others only look at the present, but he actually looks long-term, in now the in sect pattern, Aristocratic Family present declining tendency, if also helps its over, that is the unclear situation. 旁人只看眼下,而他却看长远,以现下门中格局来看,世家已现颓势,若是还去助其出头,那是不明大势。 However at present he is fledgling, might as well first empty by winding, in oneself that heart that plans 10%, that then does not need to look at the Chen Clan complexion again. 不过眼下他羽翼未丰,不妨先虚以委蛇,等自己那心中那番筹谋10%,那便再也无需看陈氏脸色了。 ............ ………… ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
