Liang Changgong several days look around for Pure and Deep Green Wood, some people looked that sends two in his surface, but this is futile attempt, the favor actually also has to lead. 梁长恭几日来四处寻觅清苍木,有人看在他面上送来二株,但这不过是是杯水车薪,人情却还不得不领下。 When he for this matter anxiety, magnificence Zhaofang actually calls on at home, one and delivers that 24 Pure and Deep Green Wood to your family place, and explained the previous whole story, end also said: „This matter was This Poor Daoist manages badly, really ashamed , Daoist Zhang did not haggle over with Old Daoist fortunately, to slightly show the sentiment of feeling sorry, refine the treasure to need, but a budgetary estimate when Old Daoist, but also looked at two to read in share that in obsolete sought for advice sincerely, refine the treasure, tolerated Old Daoist to observe and emulate one or two in side.” 他正为这事愁苦之时,华昭芳却登门造访,将那二十四株清苍木一并送至府上,并将先前原委解释了一番,末了又道:“此事是贫道办得差了,真羞惭也,亏得张真人不与老道计较,为略表歉疚之情,此间炼宝所需,可一概算在老道身上,只是还望两位念在老朽诚心求教的份上,炼宝之时,能容老道在旁观摩一二。” Liang Changgong has not thought that magnificence Zhaofang is saving this goal unexpectedly, some be hesitant get up. 梁长恭未曾想华昭芳竟是存着这个目的,不禁有些犹豫起来。 The opposite party after all are this field of endeavor experts, observes and emulates artifact refining in the one side, although is insufficient the secret will study, but can also see many ways, for: „This matter is unable to take responsibility in the next person, but must discuss with Fellow Daoist Wei.” 对方毕竟是此道能手,在一旁观摩自己炼器,虽不至于将其中秘诀学了去,但想必亦能看出不少门道来,为难道:“此事在下一人无法做主,还需与魏道友商议。” magnificence Zhaofang can also guess correctly in the Liang Changgong heart to think, then said earnestly: „Fellow Daoist Liang does not need the anxiety, the Hua certainly not stealthy heart, if must permit, is willing in this establish a magic vow, not to hear that sees to leak out, how does Fellow Daoist think?” 华昭芳也能猜出梁长恭心中所想,便认真说道:“梁道友不必疑虑,华某绝无鬼祟之心,若得允许,愿在此立下法誓,绝不将所闻所见泄露出去,道友以为如何？” Liang Changgong is somewhat surprised, such as is this also says but actually, he ponders long time, then nods, assigns/life the servant to go Uncle Wei dan to invite. 梁长恭有些意外,如是这样倒也好说,他沉思良久,便点了点头,命下人去将魏叔丹请来。 The north-south moon/month peak is close, the Uncle Wei dan moment, enters in the mansion, sees magnificence Zhaofang suddenly also here, unavoidably is surprised, listened to Liang Changgong to explain again around Karma, this was understands. 南北月峰近在咫尺,魏叔丹片刻即至,入得府中,忽见华昭芳也在此处,不免吃惊,再听梁长恭解释了前后因果,这才算明白过来。 He considers the moment, finally said: „In my opinion, this matter can comply actually, has the incident below , hopes that Fellow Daoist Hua can consent.” 他思虑片刻,最后道:“依在下之见,此事倒是可以答应,不过在下有一事,也希望华道友可以应允。” magnificence Zhaofang looks happy intent, said: „Invited the Dao Brother lecture.” 华昭芳面露喜意,道:“请道兄讲来。” Uncle Wei dan first looked at Liang Changgong, then arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest to magnificence Zhaofang, the sinking sound said: „Your excellency «artifact refining Treasure Record», needs adds on my two people of names.” 魏叔丹先是看了一眼梁长恭,再对华昭芳拱了拱手,沉声言道:“尊驾所著《炼器宝录》,需得加上我二人名姓。” Liang Changgong is startled, later a body peak, palpitates with excitement. 梁长恭一怔,随后身子一耸,怦然心动。 His hopeless Grand Dao, to have an achievement on a artifact refining way only, but he, once elapses, all also merry cloud leisurely/scatter. 他无望大道,唯独在炼器一途上有所成就,可他一旦逝去,一切也都风流云散了。 May write books to save the world, is actually the matter of eternal leaving a good name, but also gracious favor innumerable descendant, are the reincarnation repairs, entering the Dao Destiny also compares with on average man big many again. 可著书存世,却是万古留名之事,还可恩泽无数后人,便是转世重修,再次入道的机缘也较常人大上许多。 Uncle Wei dan takes advantage to be excellent, even if two people secret technique were studied by it, has this book to keep the world, still not necessarily suffers a loss, instead the advantage is bigger. 魏叔丹打得算盘极好,就算两人秘法被其学了去,有此书留世,也不见得吃亏,反而好处更大。 A magnificence Zhaofang brow wrinkle, is somewhat scruple, for this valuable record, his taking the trouble labor force has more than hundred years, only need these two people a opens the mouth, without the fee/spent results in the least bit strength, must build profits at someone's expense, this really makes him somewhat unwilling. 华昭芳眉头一皱,有些迟疑,为这本宝录,他费心劳力已有百多年,这二人只消张一张口,也没费得半点力,就要搭边沾光,这委实让他有些不甘。 However this matter is he needs help from the person, how could also to pay a price? 不过此事是他有求于人,又岂能不付出一点代价？ He can take Pure and Deep Green Wood actually, but that is bureaus of the racket two powder, Zhang Yan was not necessarily able such as previous time is so good to speak. 他倒是可以将清苍木拿了回去,可那就是一拍两散之局,张衍未必会如上次这般好说话了。 Thinks of the lifetime to hope again, he sighed one, abandons this selfishness, said solemnly: „Good! I then comply with two, may locate in that writing books person, writes down two given names!” 再想及自己毕生所愿,他叹了一声,将这点私心摒弃,沉声道:“好！我便答应二位,可在那著书人处,写下两位名讳！” Uncle Wei dan and Liang Changgong look at each other one, shows the happy expression. 魏叔丹与梁长恭对视一眼,都是露出笑意。 They put down this concern finally, did not need to resemble again previously tossed and turned like that the morning and evening were difficult to sleep. 他们总算放下了这桩心事,不用再似先前那般辗转反侧,夙夜难寐了。 After magnificence Zhaofang sends off, Uncle Wei dan suddenly sighs, said: „beam Dao Brother, this Daoist Zhang has not pricked the matters of my two people of deceiving, was takes care of me extremely and other honors.” 将华昭芳送走之后,魏叔丹忽然一叹,道:“梁道兄,此次张真人未曾将我二人欺瞒之事挑破,算是极为照顾我等脸面了。” Liang Changgong receives the smiling face, his silent moment, said: „Liang is not the person of unable to tell good from bad, only had to put out the lifetime skill also to report.” 梁长恭收起笑容,他默然片刻,道:“梁某也不是不识好歹之人,唯有拿出毕生本事还报了。” Uncle Wei dan also nods silently. 魏叔丹也是默默点头。 After two people return to the mansion, first resists all things, later then arrived at the sinkhole side to build a simple hut to occupy, only when treated the furnace arrived. 二人回得府中之后,先将诸事推拒,随后便到了天坑之旁结庐而居,只待开炉之时到来。 After magnificence Zhaofang hears, is one and to this, looks for an opportunity to discuss the artifact refining way with two people. 华昭芳闻听之后,也是一并到此,寻机与二人探讨炼器门道。 Three people are to be called are this field of endeavor masters, but receives the school to be different, the conversation gets down , is the attainment realizes from experience respectively. 三人都是称得上是此道宗师,只是所承流派有所不同,言谈下来,彼此之间,都是各有一番心得体悟。 So passes safely in May/five months, by early fall season, cool breeze dreary, the vegetation is green, river Duhan the boat, has run to refine the day of treasure again. 如此安然过去五月,到得初秋时节,清风萧瑟,草木苍然,江渡寒舟,已是再行开炉炼宝之日。 7 to 9 a.m beginning carves, the Zhang Yan Daoist robe is floating, rides the wind to come, to fall from Dao Palace before Earthfire Heavenly Furnace, gathers together with three people again. 辰时初刻,张衍道袍飘飘,自道宫中乘风而来,落在地火天炉之前,与三人再次聚首。 After salutes mutually, Liang Changgong first leaves said: „Daoist Zhang, this time refining up the treasure, must form a coherent whole, the midway is not revocable, according to me and Wei Dao Brother calculates, when needs four years of time, is only the outside Earth Qi circulation, makes no mistake, otherwise breath and pulse one muddy, that then wasted all previous efforts, this only had work Daoist Master to take the trouble much.” 互相致礼过后,梁长恭先出言道:“张真人,此番炼宝,需是一气呵成,中途不可废止,依我与魏道兄算来,当需四载光阴,只是外间地气流转,不容有失,否则气脉一浑,那便前功尽弃了,这就唯有劳动真人多多费神了。” In the sinkhole Earth Qi dealings, has the division of pure and impure, if according to secret technique inspires Refining, can receive the effect, but with the date and time passage, aura disappearing, the pure and impure confluence, stirs one group unavoidably. At this time then needed some people to go forward to comb, brings order out of chaos, makes this matter, cultivation was higher, was easy. 天坑之中地气往来,有清浊之分,若按秘法引动炼化,能收奇效,但随着时日推移,难免气息散失,清浊合流,搅成一团。这时便需有人上前重新梳理,拨乱反正,做此事者,道行越高,则越是容易。 Zhang Yan is in the furnace the treasure was advocating, oneself are Nascent Soul cultivator, is made this matter by him, truly no one was more appropriate than him. 张衍本是炉中宝物正主,自身又是元婴修士,由他做得此事,确实无人比他更为合适了。 He also knows in this concern, therefore smiles saying: „Itself is the matter of This Poor Daoist, how to say exhausted?” 他也知此中关窍,因此笑言道:“本就是贫道之事,怎说劳烦？” Uncle Wei dan bows said: „Daoist Zhang, the incident, this time refining up the treasure, the sound is enormous, is the generation of against Evildoer causes trouble, has borrowed several hundred Strength Warrior below to the pledge, in a radius of 300 miles all mountain top lay out alert array, if really has the foreign enemy to this, but may also infer ahead of time.” 魏叔丹稽首道:“张真人,还有一事,此次炼宝,动静极大,为防宵小之辈作祟,在下已向盟中借来数百力士,在方圆300里内所有山头布下警阵,若真有外敌到此,还可提前察知。” Before building up the treasure, although is the necessary protection must do, but the even-numbered month peak is Chaste Gauze Union basic important place, full arrange/cloth Restriction Array, in his heart does not think that will have the archenemy to invade one's territory seriously. Indicated one regarding as important to this matter. 炼宝之前,虽是必要的防备要做,但双月峰为贞罗盟根本重地,满布禁阵,他心中也并不认为当真会有大敌来犯。只是借此表明自家对此事的看重。 Zhang Yan nods, this magical treasure refine for him, naturally will not allow that others come to disturb, simply said: „The matter of outside, has This Poor Daoist to take care of the screening, two do not need to worry, refining up the treasure to be able by all means.” 张衍点了点头,这法宝原是为他所炼,当然不会容许他人前来捣乱,便道:“外间之事,自有贫道看顾遮护,二位不必忧心,只管炼宝便可。” Liang Changgong bows a ritual, said: „Daoist Zhang, I and others this then entered.” 梁长恭躬身一礼,道:“张真人,我等这便入阵了。” Uncle Wei dan and magnificence Zhaofang also hit a say/way to bow with hands clasped. 魏叔丹和华昭芳亦是打了一个道揖。 Zhang Yan bows returns a courtesy, said: „That This Poor Daoist awaited calmly good news in this.” 张衍稽首回礼,道:“那贫道就在此静候诸位佳音了。” Three people raise slightly again, then opened Restriction Array, walks into the pit, later gathers restrictive seal, the mist transpiration, from, can come and go out besides Earth Qi at this moment unobstructive, no one has been able again toward the inside room. 三人再次欠了欠身,便开了禁阵,步入地坑之中,随后将禁制一合,雾气蒸腾而起,自此刻起,除了地气能够出入无碍外,已无人能再往里间去了。 Zhang Yan draws back several steps, previous sits toward the Heavenly Furnace gate, then puts out a Earth Fiend fine sand from the sleeve, this is in flying islet Dao Palace comes, although must nurse Earth Qi, must not above the highest heaven, but there is this thing, cannot delay cultivation. 张衍退开几步,往天炉门前一坐,便自袖中拿出一把地煞精砂来,此是飞屿道宫中得来,虽要看护地气,去不得极天之上,但有此物,也耽误不了功行修持。 When he is just about the good merit, actually whole body one cold, suddenly the difference felt that wells up. 只是他正要行功之时,却浑身一冷,突然有一阵异样感觉涌来。 This felt that does not have the omen, swiftly however comes, swiftly however goes. 这感觉来得毫无先兆,倏忽而来,倏忽而去。 His brow wrinkle, stopped the movement. 他眉头一皱,把动作停了。 Along with his cultivation strives, could slightly the Sense joy and sorrow fortune and misfortune, just now that not be the good sign, therefore he was vigilant immediately, in the heart considered for a long time, ponders to say secretly: „Is it possible that do some people covet this treasure to be inadequate?” 随他功行精进,已能稍稍感应自身休戚祸福,适才那并非什么好兆头,因此他立时警觉了起来,心中思量许久,暗忖道:“莫非是有人觊觎此宝不成？” How many extensions the thought transferred, actually smiles, is ready to cope with anything to resist by whatever means available, oneself cultivation base to present this situation, so long as is not Heavenly Cave Daoist hence, can always avoid, and matter has not been imminent, why to take the trouble to think? 念头转了几转,却是一笑,兵来将挡水来土掩,自己修为到了如今这一地步,只要不是洞天真人至此,总是能避开过去的,且事未临头,何必费心去想？ He in roots out the distracting thoughts in the wink of an eye, both eyes shut, sat in meditation with rapt attention. 他于瞬息之间把杂念斩除,双目闭起,凝神入定去了。 His here sits in meditation cultivation, has not known how long, suddenly gentle clear, the sound of talking that such as the string moves resounds in the ear, „is Fellow Daoist cultivator that Eastern Flower Continent comes?” 他这里静坐修持,也不知过了多久,忽然一把柔和清亮,如弦拨动的语声在耳边响起,“道友就是东华洲来的修士？” Zhang Yan is astonished however opens the eye, looks up, seeing before one's eyes does not know when stands a appearance to be delicate, slender feeble constitution Daoist Nun. 张衍讶然睁目,抬头看去,见眼前不知何时站有一名容貌秀气,纤纤弱质的道姑。 Her facial features like the picture, the melon seed cheek, the shoulders such as truncate, the figure is somewhat frail, two big sleeve empty, resembling is the wind blows goes, but its aura to/clashes vastly full, measuring is not difficult to distinguish, cannot see cultivation base. 她眉眼如画,瓜子脸蛋,双肩如削,身形有些单薄,两只大袖空空荡荡,似是风吹即去,但其气息浩大冲盈,莫测难辨,根本看不出修为来。 Zhang Yan stands up slowly, replied: „Below Azure Ocean Zhang Yan, does not know how Daoist Priest did call?” 张衍缓缓站起,回道:“在下溟沧张衍,不知道长如何称呼？” That Daoist Nun is with the smile to him, said: „This Poor Daoist is surnamed Cheng.” 那道姑对他报以微笑,道:“贫道姓程。” Her then face, looks slowly to that locates Earthfire Heavenly Furnace, the eye of reveal listless color, „here was This Poor Daoist warded off in years past personally, now in a flash, over the past several hundred years, has been things have remained the same, but people have changed.” 她缓缓转而脸去,望向那处地火天炉,目露怅惘之色,“此处为贫道昔年亲手所辟,如今一晃眼,过去数百年,早已是物是人非了。” Zhang Yan shows a faint smile, said: „Regulation does Daoist Priest seem the worrying matter?” 张衍微微一笑,道:“程道长似有烦心事？” Daoist Nun looks at his one eyes ill-humoredly, said: „This Poor Daoist is not an immortal, where won't have the worry? These cultivation base are higher than many people compared with This Poor Daoist, were the worrying matter few?” 道姑没好气地看他一眼,道:“贫道又不是仙人,哪会没有烦恼？那些修为比贫道高出许多之人,难道烦心事就少得了么？” At this point, she exudes one to sigh unavoidably lightly, said: „When This Poor Daoist will go, comes this to have a look at the thing of going especially.” 说到这里,她不免发出一声轻叹,道:“贫道不过将去之时,特来此看看将去之物罢了。” The Zhang Yan vision flashes slightly, said: „Younger generation must refine the treasure in this, here then going, must wait the younger generation to realize magical treasure may.” 张衍目光微微闪动,道:“晚辈尚需在此炼宝,此处便是将去,也要待晚辈将法宝练成才可。” Daoist Nun that bright double pupil concentrates, loses says with a smile: „You, actually straightforward honest, and somewhat is overbearing, the truth said with you, This Poor Daoist wants to make you protect this place, guarantees its completely, now it seems like, wants unable to restrict you , all things have life and death, finish what one starts, has Flourishing Blossoms Falling in Entirety finally, the one day on the wane thanking.” 道姑那晶亮双眸投注过来,失笑道:“你这人,倒是直白坦诚的很,且还有几分霸道,实话与你说,贫道本想令你护得此地,保其完全,现下看来,想是拘束不了你的,罢了,万事万物有生有死,有始有终,终有繁花落尽,凋零谢去的一日。” She resembled thought of anything, stretched out one section from the sleeve in such as the lotus root white delicate arms, spread out the fair palm, holding a thing to come, said: „This Poor Daoist this then must walk, that person of reality is is difficult to deal with is incomparable, this goes to then the body not to fall, feared that also few year of ages, this thing kept the uselessness, then delivered with Fellow Daoist, when the day of your Bao-Cheng, or somewhat use.” 她似是想到了什么,自袖中伸出一截如藕玉臂,摊开白皙手掌,托出一物来,道:“贫道这便要走了,那人实是厉害无比,此去便是不曾身陨,怕也没有几年寿数了,此物留之无用,便送与道友,待你宝成之日,或有几分用处。” Zhang Yan put out a hand to receive, has not examined carefully, saw this Daoist Nun to smile to him, immediately form one empty, suddenly dispersing, some innumerable flower petal flying leaves curled up, to the clouds, formed Daoist Priest several-mile grand sea of flowers, prosperous rich colorful, rich and diverse multi- colors. 张衍伸手接过,还未细看,就见这道姑冲他一笑,随即身影一虚,忽然散开,就有无数花瓣飞叶一齐卷起,到了云中,汇成一道长达数十里的壮丽花海,繁盛富艳,缤纷多彩。 At this time heard to have the singing sound to transmit in the clouds: 这时听得云中有歌声传来: „Flower worried that the years urge the color to be remnant, who listens to the resentful say/way pity, will inundate fragrant to shade the milky way, gauze belt crumples the wind another day the face!” “花愁岁月催色残,谁人听怨道哀怜,漫起香阵蔽星汉,罗带抟风改天颜！” This startled Dharma Image from the sky folded a booklet certainly, comes up toward Highest Heaven, only hears zither | Jean Ming, instantly breaks through the backdrop, the innumerable brilliant purple and red flies fill in toward void in abundance, after half double-hour, this phenomenon just now stops thoroughly does not see. 这道惊绝法相在空中折了一折,往极天上去,只听得一声琴鸣,霎时冲破天幕,无数姹紫嫣红的飞花纷纷往虚空中填入,直至半个时辰之后,这异象方才彻底歇止不见。 This grade of marvelous sight, is not he sees. 只是这等奇景,并非他一人见到。 In flying islet Dao Palace, Shang Teng „leaping” stood, runs out from the cultivation residence, comes out with him, Huang Zuoguang, but in the latter eye all confuses with surprisedly, loses the sound said: „Regulation Daoist Master? She, is this must go to where?” 飞屿道宫之中,商腾“腾”地站了起来,自修行居所之中冲出,与他一齐出来的,还有黄左光,只是后者眼中俱是迷惑与惊奇,失声道:“程真人？她,她这是要去往何处？” Unlike him, in the Shang Teng eye besides the shock, an unquenchable happy expression, suppresses the new mood reluctantly, said with the guess tone: „Thinking of Heavenly Cave Daoist, your I cannot know, perhaps regulation Daoist Master calmly thinks extremely, goes out travelling far, cannot know.” 与他不同,商腾眼中除了震惊,还有一丝难以抑制的喜色,勉强压住新情绪,用猜测口吻说道:“洞天真人之思,非你我可知,或许程真人静极思动,出外远游,也未可知。” ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
