In bat king temple originally the sound of that sad and shrill crying loudly, in Zhang Yan steps into since that moment in temple, goes into hiding suddenly, hidden does not see. 蝠王庙中原本那凄厉嚎哭之声,在张衍踏入庙中的那一刻起,就突然销声匿迹,隐去不见。 On him that huge incomparable Core Fiend, the time circulation protects the body, does not need deliberately to display, even if released little outside, here Yin Filthy Qi suppressing. 他身上那庞大无比的丹煞,时刻流转护体,不用刻意施展,哪怕是泄了少许在外,也将这里的阴秽之气给镇压了下去。 In this palace has ten several to resemble the cat fox, has strange beast of tiger mark, is lying on the ground visits him to walk alarmed and afraid, the whole body trembles. 这殿内有十数只似猫似狸,身有虎纹的异兽,正趴在地上惊惧至极地看着他走进来,浑身瑟瑟发抖。 Zhang Yan does not pay attention, he looked at around one cold, in the eye emits the foot the white light, resembling is woods severe sword qi is ordinary. 张衍不去理会,他冷然看了一眼四周,眼中放出尺许白光,似是森厉剑气一般。 This temple should abandon for 110 years, but the surroundings not dust spider, seems the person often to sweep booing sprinkles, the knowledge is these strange beast behaviors, wants to come here to be their ordinary day dwelling places, so will look. 这庙宇应是荒弃了百十年,但周围并无灰尘蛛,倒好似有人时常扫洒,知是这些异兽所为,想来此处应当是它们平日居处,才会这般照顾。 Around this temple is actually big, is divided two palaces, he started the rear palace, caught the eye to look, saw only above the altar to set up a god of the land statue, although seemed like is also kind brows, pleasant eyes, but actually the lip set up the ear suddenly, the canine appeared externally, the red dark eyes skin, two cheeks were downs in vain, not person appearance. 此庙倒是不小,共分前后二殿,他起步到了后殿,抬眼望去,只见供案之上立着一尊土地神塑像,虽看上去也是慈眉善目,但却突唇立耳,尖牙外露,红眼黑肤,两颊边是白白的绒毛,不似人貌。 Under the Zhang Yan heart imagines, this temple bat king Weiming, this should cultivates the become a Spirit strange bat essence, was latter consecrated by the local villagers for the land. 张衍心下忖思,这庙宇既已蝠王为名,此应是修成精怪的蝙蝠精,后被当地村民供奉为土地。 This is not but actually unusual, resembles the place of remote country, the demon , if willing to aid local peace, exempts it to be violated by the evil spirits, not only can quite cultivation, must enjoy the incense and candle blood food, will then be Dao Palace Daoist Priest will not come to look for trouble. 这倒也不稀奇,似偏远乡野之地,精怪若是肯护佑一方平安,免其遭邪祟侵害,不但能好生修行,也可得享香火血食,便是道宫的道士也不会前来找麻烦。 He looked at several again, then sees for several points not. 只是他再看了几眼,便看出几分不对来。 Draws out the hand to stroke, above the statue does the mud to dig up, under reveals the blue black wood grain, above pasted faint yellow talisman. 起手一拂,就将塑像之上一层干泥扒去,露出底下深黑色的木纹来,其上贴了一张淡黄色的符箓。 He sneers, said: „Here not establishes array, I said why Yin Qi is so depressed, originally root in this.” 他冷笑一声,道:“此处并无设置阵法,我道却为何阴气这般郁结,原来根源在此。” The statue of this temple housing the village god was only outside bound mud, painted color paint, but the inside room used a velamen magic arts sacrifice to refine investigates the wooden carving Yin. 这座土地庙的塑像只是外面裹了一层泥,又刷了一层彩漆,而里间是用了一根被法术祭炼过的阴纠木雕刻而成。 This wooden resembles does not know that has concocted with what secret technique, may serve as to exorcise evil spirits, but is Yin conceals is cloudy now, as long as some nearby people died, its soul was then absorbed by it, imprisons, the revolutions refining up Yin Qi, after a considerable period of time, then became one to raise the institute of demon. 这木像不知用何秘法炮制过,原本可用作辟邪,可如今却是阴中藏阴,但凡附近有人死去,其魂魄便被其吸纳过来,禁锢其中,转炼阴气,天长日久,便成了一处养魔之所。 If not in the least concerned, leaves alone, crosses 110 years to get down again, must raise demon to come out. 若是不闻不问,放任不管,再过个百十年下去,必会养出一头魔头出来。 Resembles this grade of method, he looks apparent, was Demonic Sect disciple previously lacked the demon sacrifice to refine the evil law, by trying another method, Nurturing demon, but now the Demon Tribulation same place, in Demon Cave demon there are numerous similar cases, was in order to have no need for this grade of method. 似这等手段,他一看便知,是魔宗弟子先前缺少魔头祭炼邪法,是以另辟蹊径,孕养魔头,而如今魔劫一起,魔穴之中魔头不知凡几,是以便用不着这等手段。 This feared that is also this temple abandons here reason. 这怕也是这庙宇废弃在此处的原因。 These hundred several years later, in this wooden resembles does not know that detained Refining the multi- Lesser Yin soul, the soul that then such as at this moment, ten arrested recently, is receiving that to refine the pain of soul, originally was very painful, was only Zhang Yan before, actually must unable to make noise by huge say/way air pressure. 这百数年下来,这木像之中不知拘禁炼化了多少阴魂,便如此刻,还有十余头新近拘来的魂魄,正在受那炼魂之苦,本是痛苦不堪,只是张衍在前,却被身上庞然道气压得出不了声。 Zhang Yan slightly pondered over, though here has abandoned, but the living person contaminates the Yin severe air/Qi, unavoidably is distracted, before one's eyes in the different image frequency lives all day, the date and time is long-time, must injure Origin Energy, since oneself bumped into, then cannot, no matter what it so gets down. 张衍略一思忖,此处虽则已废,但生人沾染阴厉之气,难免神思恍惚,眼前整日里异象频生,时日长久,也要伤了元气,自己既然撞见了,便不能任其这般下去。 As soon as he directs, center that said talisman, only heard a light sound, immediately broke the magic arts, this wood looked like trembles several to tremble, collecting did not live in the soul again, that ten souls got down from that on, is doing obeisance several to do obeisance to Zhang Yan, then diverged respectively. 他一指点出,正中那道符箓,只闻一声轻响,当即破了法术,这木像颤了几颤,再也收束之不住阴魂,那十余头魂魄自那上面下来,对着张衍拜了几拜,便各自散去了。 Zhang Yan does not go to manage them, sleeve gestures, the purple electricity departs together, looked like around this wood transferred one revolution, Yin Qi that several hundred years will save swept. 张衍也不去管他们,一抖袖,一道紫电飞出,绕着这木像转了一转,就将其中数百年积攒下来的阴气扫荡一空。 After completing this matter, he is wanting to seek place to sit in meditation, that more than ten strange beast have been visiting him to act, in this period a tip of the nose is short, a coat color pure bright strange beast both ears booklet, called several backward, held a clean rush cushion to come, set out to stand, such as the person bowed in salute to him generally. 做完此事之后,他正欲寻一地打坐,那十余只异兽一直在看他动作,这时期中一只鼻头短短,毛色纯亮的的异兽双耳向后一折,叫了几声,衔了一只干净蒲团过来,又起身而立,如人一般对他作揖。 The Zhang Yan nod said: „You and others but actually also sensible.” 张衍点头道:“你等倒也懂事。” He slightly hesitated, takes medicine pill to come out, said: „I went bad your hiding place, this Body Transfiguration Pill bestowed you.” 他略一沉吟,取了一枚丹药出来,道:“我坏了你们藏身之所,这一颗化形丹就赐了你吧。” That strange beast resembles the pleasant surprise, held in the mouth with the mouth, does obeisance after Zhang Yan several did obeisance, went one side, cried out several, then brings that numerous strange beast to have the temple to go, shortly will walk without a trace. 那异兽状似惊喜,用嘴叼了过来,又对张衍拜了几拜之后,就去了一边,叫唤了几声,便带着那一众异兽出庙而去,顷刻间走得无影无踪。 Zhang Yan sat above that rush cushion, closes the eyes did not say, only waited for the fated person to visit. 张衍在那蒲团之上坐了下来,闭目不言,只等有缘人上门。 When he at that time with that king Saburo spoke, has not deliberately avoided that to do the young male servant, although king Saburo could not exhort to say specially, but there is Immortal Master to pass on the law the news actually still to disappear without a trace, made noisily, although many will of the people had the change, may work as to hear to toward that bat king temple. Actually shrank back at the sight, shrank. 他当时与那王三郎说话之时,并未刻意回避那一干小厮,尽管王三郎特意嘱咐不得说出去,但有仙师传法的消息却仍是不胫而走,闹得沸沸扬扬,虽有不少人心有异动,可当一听说要往那蝠王庙去。却又望而却步,缩了回去。 However some brave was not afraid of getting into trouble, dares to take risk toward this. 不过仍有一些胆大不怕事的,敢冒险往此而来。 But is strange, rural population who any to this temple, when to 2nd day waking up, actually the discovery lies on own bed, but the matter of yesterday, could not think, was only the body was strong than the past. 可古怪的是,凡是去往此庙的村人,待到第二日醒来,却发现躺在自家床上,而昨日之事,却怎么也想不起来,只是身子骨却比以往强健了许多。 After this news classics and commentaries leave, is actually causes more people toward to go. 这消息一经传出后,却是引得更多人往此间前去。 From the bat king temple more than 20 li (0.5 km), place named Weizhuang, village west a thatched hut that has one to leak out everywhere, in the room had a child to take the scrap to cut out the neat cotton fabric, for paralysis in the old mother carefully hanging wiped in the saliva of corners of the mouth, he said in a soft voice: „Mother, you are resting safely, child accompanies the Tong four young masters to study.” 距离蝠王庙二十多里地,有一处名叫魏庄的所在,村西头有一座四处漏风的茅屋,屋内有一名孩童正拿了小块裁剪得齐整的棉布,为瘫病在的老母细心把挂在嘴角的口涎擦去,他轻声道:“娘亲,你安心歇着,孩儿去陪佟四家的少爷读书。” The old woman eyelid moves, is the reply. 老妇人眼皮动了动,算是应答。 This young child named Wei Zihong, his father commandeered the corvee long ago, the excavating canal, dyes the illness/quick dead finally, only keeps in the family/home the orphan widowed mother. 这小童名叫魏子宏,其父早些年征发徭役,去开凿运河,结果染疾而死,只留家中孤儿寡母。 In addition he young, Wei the paralysis is rushing, only gives financial aid to get by the neighborhood ancestors and relatives, the family circumstances are really poverty-stricken. 他尚且年幼,魏氏又瘫痪在闯,只靠邻里宗亲接济度日,家境甚是困苦。 When heard that has Immortal Master to have the method to make one change efficient greatly infinite, but the enemy hundred people, he then decides to acknowledge as teacher. 当听说有一位仙师有法子使人变得力大无穷,可敌百人,他便下决心要去拜师。 He has not thought many, only thought at that time then the strength, can make money to cure mother's sickness, did not worry the food and clothing. 他并未想得太多,只想那时便有一身力气,能赚些钱来治好阿母的病,再也不愁吃穿。 Weizhuang from the bat king temple more than 20 li (0.5 km) distance, to the villagers is not anything, but to his grade of child actually is extremely not easy, if the one person alone goes, don't said that with the Reverend peddler, the bandit, was the wild wolf can also hold in the mouth him. 魏庄距离蝠王庙二十多里路程,对村民来说不算什么,但对他这等孩童却极是不易,若是孤身前去,莫说遇上人贩子,匪贼,便是野狼也能将他叼了去。 Although he is 7 or 8-year-old, has adult experienced, agreed with a familiar group foot merchant early when several days ago, collects this person to buy and sell merchandise starts off together. 他虽只有七八岁,却有成年人般的老练,早在数天前就与一名熟悉的行脚商人约定,凑此人贩货之时一起上路。 At this time horizon white Duwei, he feared that missed the double-hour, then the decision goes sooner. 此时天边白肚微露,他怕错过了时辰,便决定早些前去。 First held half dry/does cake on the body, went to the neighbor to want some water of boiling to come back, poured into the bottle gourd, closely plugged, then looked for several rags to come, the stopper some hay went, then with the hemp rope the small leggings, stamped stamping, saw not to fall, goes out, found that to transport goods the merchant, starts off together, he was also sensible tactful, although the person was small, but also was helps that merchant hold a basket, after two double-hour, arrived in the town/subdues. 先在身上揣了半只干饼,又去邻家要了些烧开的水回来,倒入了葫芦中,紧紧塞好,再找了几块破布过来,塞了些干草进去,然后用麻绳把小腿绑了,跺了跺,见掉不下来,就出了门,找到了那名走货商人,一起上了路,他也是懂事知趣,虽然人小,但也是帮那商人提了个篮子,两个时辰之后,就到了镇上。 Here also has the small five li (0.5 km) distance away that bat king temple, moreover 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, him had not asked for a scrap realgar to that group of foot merchants, after saying goodbye, a person toward mountain forest. 此处距那蝠王庙还有小五里的路程,而且子时未至,他向那行脚商人讨了一小块雄黄,告辞之后,一个人往山林中去。 How long walked not, he settles on a big tree, crawled to look for a sturdy tree trunk of branches and leaves cover, by rested above. 走了未有多久,他看准一棵大树,爬上去找了一根枝叶茂密的粗壮树干,靠在其上休息。 Also walks the exhausted reason, after a while, he then did not rest. 也是走得疲累的缘故,不过一会儿,他便睡了过去。 How long rested blurry did not know, thought some changes suddenly, opened eyes looked, actually saw is mildew Little Monkey is opening the eyes to drip the perfectly round eye, kept pushing him. 迷迷糊糊睡了也不知多久,忽觉有些异动,睁眼一看,却见是一只白毛小猴儿正睁着滴溜滚圆的眼睛,不停地推着他。 Wei Zihong turned, finds the clue make saying: „Little Monkey, is this your place?” 魏子宏翻了起来,摸头道:“小猴儿,这是你的地方么？” He looks up, seeing the weather is black, tapped the head, called out: „Ah is not good, oh no, must miss the double-hour of acknowledging as teacher not.” 他抬头一看,见天色已黑,拍了拍脑袋,叫道:“啊呀不好,糟糕,莫要错过了拜师的时辰。” He looked at all around, at this time the dim light of night is strong, is the wilderness, pitch-dark, the front way is not good to identify. 他看了看四周,此时夜色浓重,又是荒郊野外,伸手不见五指,前方路径也不好辨认。 However his actually skill, is the night can regard the thing, this is also he has the reason that the confidence acknowledges as teacher. 不过他却有一桩本事,就是夜能视物,这也是他有信心来拜师的缘故。 At this time he saw in the front boundary to have the bright to spread indistinctly, looks at that direction, is the destination of bat king temple, then rushed to crawl from the tree, ran toward that bright. 这时他隐隐约约看见前方一处地界中有亮光传出,看那方向,正好是蝠王庙的去处,便赶忙从树上爬下来,朝着那处亮光跑了过去。 That mildew Little Monkey jumps suddenly, on his shoulder, Wei Zihong footsteps paused, said curiously: ” Little Monkey, you are also acknowledge as teacher? ” 那只白毛小猴儿忽然一跳,上了他的肩头,魏子宏脚步顿了顿,好奇道:”小猴儿,你也是去拜师的么？” Mildew Little Monkey squeak squeak called several, non-stop nodding, Wei Zihong sees its quite Spiritual Wisdom nature, has the meaning of several points of liking, traces its hair, only the sleep/felt starts quite mild-mannered, said: „That then goes together.” 白毛小猴儿吱吱叫了几声,不停点头,魏子宏见它颇通灵性,生出几分欢喜之意,摸了摸它的毛发,只觉入手颇为柔顺,道:“那便一起去吧。” Mildew Little Monkey also called several, Wei Zihong to laugh heartily several, whatever then it climbed on oneself, ran forward. 白毛小猴儿又是叫了几声,魏子宏欢笑了几声,便任由其攀在自己身上,向前奔走。 He often heard that this place is haunted, although is emboldens to come, but also unavoidably is also in the heart disturbed. 他常听说此地闹鬼,虽是壮胆而来,可也难免也是心中忐忑。 Perhaps his luck good reason, this past this was passed on bad risk boundary by the countryman, what strange matter has not happened, unexpectedly was safe before that bat king temple. 或许他运气好的缘故,这往日这被乡人传得凶险至极的地界,什么古怪之事也未曾发生,竟是平平安安到了那蝠王庙前。 The distant place this also sees has the bright, after may arrive at the near, is actually one piece of pitch-black paint, has not heard including a sound. 只是远处本还见着有亮光,可到了近前之后,却是黑漆漆的一片,连一点声息也不曾听闻。 Wei Zihong was a child, in the heart some slightly fears, the footsteps was eventually slower, but remembered the paralysis in the old mother of bed, strengthened in a flash, walked up , the obsolete temple gate will then shove open. 魏子宏终究是个孩童,心中略微有些害怕,脚步了慢了许多,只是想起瘫病在床的老母,转瞬又坚定起来,走上前去,吱嘎一声,便将老朽的庙门推开。 He searched the head, digs up the gate to tread on, sees has not had what sound, then brave, walks into toward in carefully, but more than 20 steps, have transferred a arrange/cloth curtain, sees young daoist that closes the eyes sits in meditation to sit in that place. 他探了探脑袋,扒着门一脚踏进去,见并未有什么动静,便胆子大了起来,小心往里走入,不过二十余步,转过了一层布幔,就见得一名闭目打坐的年轻道人坐在那处。 He opened the eye, later realizes, is busy at kneeling toward the ground, said with the clear infant voice: „Boy Wei Zihong, sought Daoist Priest to acknowledge as teacher.” 他不禁睁大了眼睛,随后醒觉过来,忙往地上一跪,用清脆童音言道:“小子魏子宏,寻道长拜师来了。” The word, kotows again and again. 言罢,连连叩首。 Zhang Yan opens the eyes, looks toward this young child on. 张衍睁开双眼,往这小童身上看去。 Before seeing his volume, has an interception sea, is feeble, is fair-skin, is seemingly thin and small, as if the wind blows then but actually, but expression nimble, the root bone is strange is more handsome. 见他额前有一截留海,身体羸弱,皮肤白净,看起来瘦瘦小小,似乎风一吹便倒,不过眼神灵动,根骨更是奇俊不凡。 He ponders to say secretly: „Is it possible that is this child?” 他暗忖道:“莫非便是这孩儿么？” For serveral days , more than ten people walked to acknowledge as teacher, but all was not he wants to seek the person . Moreover the root bone was too bad , the custom did not get Dao Technique, directed several strong and healthy body Technique, then sent them to go back. 这些天来,也有十余人找上门来拜师,只是皆不是他欲寻之人,而且根骨太差,也习不得道术,指点了几门强身健体的法门,便打发他们回去了。 He said temperately: „Since is acknowledges as teacher, that on then comes.” 他温和说道:“既然是来拜师的,那便上得前来。” Wei Zihong walks up according to the word. 魏子宏依言走上前去。 When he stands firm, Zhang Yan puts out a hand, as if before wanting the volume, keeps the sea to raise, Wei Zihong flustered, both hands block from immediately, said: „Daoist Priest, may not.” 等他站定,张衍伸出手去,似乎要额前留海掀起,魏子宏顿时一阵慌张,双手遮住,道:“道长,不可。” Zhang Yan drops, says with a smile: „Why can't?” 张衍放下手来,笑道:“为何不可？” Wei Zihong keeps off with both hands this above the forehead as before, replied earnestly: „Daoist Priest, boy here has the strangeness, others , only need saw, will then faint immediately.” 魏子宏用双手依旧这挡在额头之上,认真回答道:“道长,小子这里有古怪,旁人只消见了,便会立时晕厥过去。” ............ ………… ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
