Azure Ocean Sect, raises the pleased island, the Huayin peak. 溟沧派,养悦岛,华阴峰。 A Huang Fuzhou gray cotton cloth Daoist robe, the facial expression is faint, gradually loses headway to Main Hall above. 黄复州一身灰布道袍,神情淡漠,缓步慢行至大殿之上。 His vision casts aside, sees a azure robe daoist end to attend a banquet, is about the three ten-day periods age, is seemingly ordinary, but pair of pupil spread a glaze color, like the porcelain, the bright flash, on the lip the beard is smoothly thick, the microstrip is bright, the forehead is broad, has not worn the crown, the side is lying speckle yellow leopard who is narrowing both eyes. 他目光一撇,见有一名青袍道人端坐席上,约是三旬年纪,看起来貌不惊人,但一双眸子似是涂了层釉色,光润如瓷,熠熠闪光,唇上胡须浓密,微带碧色,额头宽广,不曾戴冠,身边趴着一头眯着双目的褐斑黄豹。 Sits opposite of this daoist, is Daoist Qin disciple jumps over dragon Shan, sees Huang Fuzhou to come out, she beckons to it, corners of the mouth including saying with a smile: „Senior Brother Huang, I come to present with you, this is Absolute Equality Church Wu Han receives Senior Brother Wu, said, he and your family madame are also the distant branch of family relatives.” 坐在这道人对面,乃是秦真人弟子越龙珊,见得黄复州出来,她冲其招了招手,嘴角含笑道:“黄师兄,我来与你引见,此是平都教的吴函承吴师兄,说起来,他与你家夫人也算是远支族亲。” The Wu Hancheng big sleeve shook shaking, stands up, hit one to bow to Huang Fuzhou, said: „Has heard the name of Azure Ocean double show, today finally must see a Senior Brother Huang face.” 吴函承大袖抖了抖,就站起身来,对黄复州打了一个稽首,道:“早就听闻溟沧双秀之名,今日终于得见黄师兄尊颜。” Huang Fuzhou indifferently also a ritual, calmly said: „In the past some reputations, have been as transient as fleeting clouds, did not need to raise.” 黄复州淡然还了一礼,平静道:“过去些许名声,早已是过眼云烟,不用提了。” Although Wu Hancheng is seemingly polite, but in the manner is arrogant, if traded previously, Huang Fuzhou must try to press its one surely to go, but his edges and corners smooth by grinding now, does not have that vying for supremacy heart, has looked to all things pale. 吴函承虽是看起来客气,但神态之中不无倨傲,若是换了先前,黄复州定要设法压过其一头去,可如今他棱角磨平,早已没了那份争胜之心,对所有事情都已看淡了。 He also knows himself to be absolutely impossible to become Ten Great Disciples now, throws in Daoist Qin disciple, always also feeling better common disciple, at least raised the Martial Brothers gate on pleased island also to have taking care. 他现在也知自己绝无可能当上十大弟子了,投在秦真人门下,总也好过寻常弟子,至少养悦岛上的师兄弟门也有了照应。 Wu Hancheng stared at him to look at a while, seemed like judging whether his word was due to the sincerity, in the mouth said: „The Senior Brother Huang state of mind lives simply, the little brother admires.” 吴函承盯着他看了一会儿,似乎是在判断他此言是否出于真心,嘴中则言道:“黄师兄心境淡泊,小弟佩服。” Huang Fuzhou did not say, directly as good as seat of honor above, unfolded the sleeve to sit down, Wu Hancheng pondered to smile, was heavy sat. 黄复州也不接话,径直行到主位之上,展袖坐下,吴函承玩味笑了笑,也是重又坐了下来。 Huang Fuzhou unemotional say/way: „Listens to my wife to mention, Senior Brother Wu is Absolute Equality Church spends the Elder outstanding disciple, this time must go to Sword Battle Daoist Assembly, since Senior Brother, has not known whether Elder Wu arrived, do not let lose the courtesy below.” 黄复州面无表情道:“听内子言及,吴师兄乃是平都教花长老高徒,此次也是要去往斗剑法会的,既然师兄已至,不知吴长老是否到了,可不要让在下失了礼数。” more dragon Shan Gangxiang opened the mouth, Wu Hancheng first step said: „On the respected teacher road meets an old friend, was asked to refine the treasure, could delay on several th, but has reached an agreement the period of reaching agreement with Daoist Qin, is to exempt retracts from an engagement, then advance little brother former Raihaizan.” 越龙珊刚想开口,吴函承却先一步说道:“恩师路上遇见一位老友,被求去炼宝,可能要耽误几日,只是既已与秦真人说好相约之期,为免爽约,便先遣小弟前来拜山。” more dragon Shan Cha said: „Senior Brother Huang, respected teacher these days are offering a sacrifice to refine furnace medicine pill, has no time to leave, she confesses, wants you to try to entertain good Senior Brother Wu.” 越龙珊插言道:“黄师兄,恩师这几日正祭炼一炉丹药,无暇抽身,她交代下来,要你设法招待好吴师兄。” Wu Hancheng arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest, said: „Thank your for your hospitality Senior Brother.” 吴函承拱了拱手,道:“叨扰师兄了。” In the past Daoist Qin once owed Absolute Equality Church many favors, she can in Azure Ocean Sect in sect so transcendence, besides her cultivation base, have the Wu Clan support is also related with the back, but Wu Hancheng cultivation base has arrived now will not break on the broken threshold, only missed then Forming Nascent, this time came Azure Ocean Sect, was seeks Daoist Qin to lend a hand to help breakthrough. A goal, then wants to experience a Azure Ocean Sect this generation of disciple method. 当年秦真人曾欠下平都教不少人情,她能在溟沧派门中这般超脱,除了自身修为之外,与背后有吴氏支持也不无关系,而吴函承如今修为已到将破未破的门槛上,只差一线便可成婴,此次来得溟沧派,就是寻求秦真人出手助自己破关。还有一个目的,便是想见识一番溟沧派这一辈弟子的手段。 Huang Fuzhou nodded slightly, said: „Senior Brother Huang is not polite, since Daoist Qin looks, you might as well first in my raised in the pleased island to live on several th previous, coming to day I to call several good friend Fellow Daoist again, accompanied Senior Brother to look in my Azure Ocean Sect together the scenery beautiful scenery.” 黄复州微微点头,道:“黄师兄莫要客气,既是秦真人关照,你不妨先在我这养悦岛上住上几日,来日我再叫上几名好友同道,陪师兄一同观览我溟沧派中山水胜景。” Wu Hancheng said with a smile: „So good, in sitting alone in boredom mansion, is depressed, does not know that Senior Brother and Senior Brother Zhong can have the friendship? The little brother wants to know but actually.” 吴函承笑道:“如此甚好,枯坐府中,也是苦闷,就是不知师兄与钟师兄可有交情？小弟倒想结识一番。” Huang Fuzhou smiles lightly, said: „Must call Senior Brother Huang to be disappointed, Senior Brother Zhong now is Nascent Soul Daoist, from the period of Sword Battle is about several years, at this moment closed-door cultivation profound art in Glittering Gems Heavenly Cave, for brother face is fearing that is please.” 黄复州淡淡一笑,道:“要叫黄师兄失望了,钟师兄如今已是元婴真人,距离斗剑之期不过数载,此刻正在琳琅洞天内潜修玄功,为兄这点薄面怕是请不出来。” Wu Hancheng feels in this saying the belt/bring thorn, in the heart some were uncomfortable, looked at Huang Fuzhou, hey. 吴函承觉得这话中带刺,心中有些不舒服,看了看黄复州,不禁嘿了一声。 more dragon Shan saw that is busy at coughing, spoke to mediate saying: „Senior Brother Wu is not anxious, after three months, is the Huanjiang evening banquet, the Senior Brother Zhong shame is one of the Ten Great Disciples, at the appointed time will decide will go, Senior Brother also feared that will probably not exposed to?” 越龙珊见状,忙咳了一声,出言打圆场道:“吴师兄莫急,三月之后,便是浣江夜宴,钟师兄忝为十大弟子之一,届时定是会前去,师兄还怕见不得么？” Wu Hancheng spirit inspires, said: „So then good, will look at reverently the Senior Brother Zhong elegant demeanor, hears if in the past Daoist Qin received Senior Brother Zhong to make disciple, because of cultivation cultivation technique, therefore, can not make the trip finally, otherwise 16 schools had its space compared with the sword.” 吴函承精神一振,道:“如此便好,正要瞻仰钟师兄风采,听闻当年若秦真人收了钟师兄做徒儿,因修炼一门功法之故,结果不得成行,否则十六派比剑定有其一席之地。” Huang Fuzhou nods in side, said: „Good.” 黄复州在旁点头,道:“不错。” Actually he knows indistinctly, the matter of so-called cultivation cultivation technique deceives the bystander, that chapter of Sword Battle Zhong Muqing may go, but Daoist Qin does not know that stemming from what reason, anti- it goes, finally missed an opportunity, otherwise its in sect ranks, perhaps before Huo Xuan. 其实他隐约知道,所谓修炼功法之事不过是骗骗外人,那回斗剑钟穆清本可前往,可秦真人不知出于什么缘故,阻其前往,结果错过了一次机会,否则其门中排名,说不定就在霍轩之前了。 Wu Hancheng pointed at to select the table, resembled to have no intention saying: „Senior Brother Huang, does not know that which how many Senior Brother this your sect does have to go Daoist Assembly? Can Daoist Qi probably go?” 吴函承手指点了点桌案,状似无意道:“黄师兄,不知此次贵派有哪几位师兄前去法会？齐真人可要去得？” Mentioned „Daoist Qi” three word-time, although he pretended careless, but the eyeground clearly was actually reveals for several points the color of tightening. 说起“齐真人”三字时,他虽装作漫不经心,而眼底分明却是露出几分着紧之色。 Huang Fuzhou shakes the head gently, said: „Senior Brother Qi went to the position 70 years ago, non- was Ten Great Disciples, now closed-door cultivation in Mysterious Water True Palace, little makes an appearance, this Daoist Assembly, considered will not go.” 黄复州轻轻摇首,道:“齐师兄早在七十年前就已去位,非是十大弟子了,如今在玄水真宫之内潜修,甚少露面,此次法会,当是不会去得了。” A Wu Hancheng facial expression loosen, took up the wine glass on table to drink one, one's words are not in accord with one's mind said: „Pitifully, what a pity.” 吴函承神情一松,拿起桌案上的酒杯喝了一口,口不应心道:“可惜,可惜。” Recently when 16 schools compared with the sword, because of the Azure Ocean Sect gate just when competing for the position of Sect Master was intense, Master and Disciples Lineage many disciple were not driven to death after suffering an injustice, was killed by weapons. 前次十六派比剑,因溟沧派门正值争夺掌门之位激烈之时,师徒一脉许多弟子不是枉死,就是自行兵解。 But when that Ominous Person just before leaving, because of hates Aristocratic Family to meddle secretly, causing him to struggle a failure, therefore is in a rage, intended to slaughter many five big Aristocratic Family disciple unexpectedly, the result was more tired much Azure Ocean Sect, when to Grand Competition, had nothing disciple that several can take acts unexpectedly, finally only then a Qi Yuntian person of one person alone went. 而那凶人临走之时,因暗恨世家插手其中,导致他争位失败,因此是一怒之下,竟出手屠戮了不少五大世家的弟子,结果累得偌大一个溟沧派,到大比之时,竟无有几名能拿得出手的弟子了,最后只有齐云天一人孤身前往。 Is good not lets people down because of Qi Yuntian, above Sword Battle Daoist Assembly, by Azure Ocean Sect first divine ability Coiling Dragon Great Lightning Seal, after resisting with all one's strength more than ten people, still with Lacking Purity Sect Qingchen Zi fought well-matched, finally to lose evenly. 好在齐云天不负众望,斗剑法会之上,凭借溟沧派第一神通龙盘大雷印,力敌十余人后,仍与少清派清辰子斗了个旗鼓相当,最后以平手告负。 Since that fights, Qi Yuntian passes on the world, although knew perfectly well after Azure Ocean Sect internal fight, is the strength damages greatly, actually also no one dares to look down upon. 自那一战之后,齐云天名传天下,虽明知溟沧派内斗之后,已是实力大损,却也无人敢于小视。 Such is difficult to deal with person, Wu Hancheng again how proud, cannot be popular tiny bit with the thought that it opposes. 这么一个厉害人物,吴函承再怎么自傲,也兴不起一丝一毫与之作对的念头。 After hearing this Grand Competition has nothing this person, the aware odds of success were many much, secretly thought: „This Grand Competition, thinks that Qingchen Zi will not come, so was short of two powerful enemies, my Absolute Equality Church did not count on that can make a first place, but enters Profound Sect first five, actually also hopeful.” 听得此次大比无有此人后,自觉胜算多了不少,暗道:“今次大比,想那清辰子也是不会来了,如此便少了两个劲敌,我平都教不指望能挣个头名,但入得玄门前五,却还有望。” He puts down the wine glass, asked: „cultivate the dao of little brother long time in mountain, but must consult Senior Brother Huang, does not know besides Senior Brother Zhong, this time goes to Daoist Assembly, which several?” 他放下酒杯,又问道:“小弟久在山中修道,还要请教黄师兄,不知除了钟师兄之外,此次前往法会者,还有哪几位？” The Huang Fuzhou aware matter has set, there is no cannot say, moreover Absolute Equality Church could be the Azure Ocean Sect pledge to be good, divulged that some went out to might as well, simply said: „This Sword Battle, Senior Brother Huo decides will go.” 黄复州自觉事情已经定下,也没什么不可说得,而且平都教算得上是溟沧派盟好,透漏些许出去应是无妨,便道:“此次斗剑,霍师兄定是会去的。” Wu Hancheng nods saying: „Daoist Master Huo profound art, is the head of your home Ten Great Disciples, hearing concurs big cultivator of two Manager cultivation technique rare, at the appointed time must ask for advice to it surely.” 吴函承点头道:“霍真人玄功了得,又是贵门十大弟子之首,听闻乃是少有身兼两门功法所长的大修士,到时定要向其讨教。” more dragon Shan had/left the sound said at this time: „One person, was that Luo Qingyu Senior Brother Luo.” 越龙珊这时出声道:“还有一人,就是那洛清羽洛师兄了。” Wu Hancheng was not familiar with Luo Qingyu, probed two, wanted to draw out its cultivation technique origin, however Huang Fuzhou was actually insufficiently detailed, does not know that really did not know shirks intentionally. 吴函承对洛清羽并不熟悉,试探了两句,想要套出其功法来历,然而黄复州却是语焉不详,也不知是真不知晓还是故意推脱。 In Wu Hancheng heart criticizes, a slightly thinking, asked suddenly: „I once heard in your sect to have one to call make Zhang Yan, cultivates eternity rare First Grade golds, the hearsay said that he has marched into the boundary of Nascent Soul, does not know that this time whether goes to Daoist Assembly?” 吴函承心中暗骂,微一思索,忽然问道:“我曾听得贵派中有一位唤作张衍的,修得千古罕见的一品品,还有传闻说他业已步入元婴之境,不知此次是否去往法会？” Zhang Yan Core Accomplishment First Grade, after Absolute Equality Church this generation of disciple hears, in the chest is not only startled shakes, refuses to accept completely, many disciple are thinking, if defeat this person above can Grand Competition, deciding to win many prestige for oneself. 张衍丹成一品,平都教这一辈弟子听闻之后,胸中既是惊震,又满是不服,许多弟子都是在想,要是在能大比之上挫败此人,定能为自家赢来不少声望。 Wu Hancheng hears indistinctly, this Zhang Yan is extremely is difficult to deal with, but does not know what reason, the rumor is actual and fictitious , some specious, sounds extremely exaggerating, about after one, becoming is the genuine and fake is more difficult to distinguish, made that he is also doubtful. 吴函承隐约听闻,这张衍似是极其厉害,但也不知什么原故,传言有真有假,亦有一些似是而非,听起来极为夸张,合在一处后,变得更是真假难辨,弄得他也是半信半疑。 more dragon Shan wanted to ask for the Daoist Qin favor recently, seizing to seize Liu Yanyi to be inadequate, was instead also fallen the face, finally one was reprimanded by Daoist Qin punishes, hated about Zhang Yan, laughs at one, said: „Zhang Yan entering the Dao is about hundred years, said that he cultivates to the boundary of Nascent Soul, Senior Brother, but letter/believes?” 越龙珊前次欲讨秦真人欢心,擒捉刘雁依不成,反还被落了面子,最后遭了秦真人一顿斥罚,对张衍也连带恨了起来,嗤笑一声,道:“张衍入道不过百载,说他修至元婴之境,师兄可是信得？” Wu Han acknowledged really thinks, suddenly smiled, shakes the head saying: „In this world the talents of but actually many having god-given wisdom, but if this Junior Brother Zhang cultivate the dao hundred years, that is only incredible.” 吴函承认真想了一想,忽然一笑,摇头道:“这世上倒不乏天纵之才,但若这位张师弟只修道百余载,那便不可信了。” Profound Sect feather gentleman cultivate the dao, divine ability and cultivation are very always difficult to be satisfactory to both sides, seems the fish and bear's paws, cannot have both. 玄门羽士修道,神通与道行一向很难两全,好似鱼与熊掌,不能兼得。 Then like Zhou Chongju, he grew Qi Yuntian dozens years old, but is one step cultivates to Nascent Soul 3-layer early, is not only because he aptitude is certainly high, he knows the immortal to be hopeless, does not study any divine ability Dao Technique reason. 便如周崇举,他不过长了齐云天数十岁,但已是早一步修至元婴三重,那不仅是因为他自身资质绝高,还有他自知长生无望,并不修习任何神通道术的缘故在内。 But Qi Yuntian although at that time was cultivation is less, but he minored in three divine ability, if really sparred, Zhou Chongju mostly was not his opponent. 可齐云天那时虽是道行不及,但他一人兼修三门神通,若是真个斗起法来,周崇举多半不是他的对手。 Azure Ocean Sect five arts and three scriptures, only then practices with divine ability that it corresponds, can be twice the result with half the effort. 溟沧派五功三经,只有习练与之对应的神通,方能事半功倍。 But if for flaunts the temporary rapidness in the peer, goes to cultivation these not incompatible Dao Technique Technique, that does not know that must delay many times. 但若只是为在同辈之中逞一时之快,去修行那些不自家不匹配的道术法门,那不知要耽误多少功夫。 If cultivator, divine ability is tyrannical, cultivation is profound, on the way of cultivate the dao in others, Wu Hancheng does not believe unfortunately quickly. 要是一名修士,神通强横,道行精深,偏又在修道之途上快于他人,吴函承是万万不信的。 These only needed the levigation time the place to say fortunately when may meet for example burnt the hole, Carapace Shedding and other threshold, boils the integer more than 110 years, was only and other other people's business. 那些只需水磨功夫的地方还好说,可遇上例如烧穴,壳关等关隘之时,熬上个数十百多年,也只是等闲事。 more dragon Shan snort/hum, said: „This and that's the end, these unfounded words, perhaps are the generations of some Evildoer for from raising the sale price, compiles, Senior Brother is correct cultivates unreliably, why also to go to letter/believes these rumors?” 越龙珊哼了一声,道:“这就是了,那些无稽之言,或许是一些宵小之辈为自抬身价,才编造出来的,师兄乃有道玄修,又何必去信这些谣传？” Wu Hancheng ponders to say secretly: „Listens to jump over dragon Shan's tone, resembling is this goes to Grand Competition , there is nothing this person of seat? Strange, is it possible that this was Zhang Yan seriously exaggerating?” 吴函承暗忖道:“听越龙珊的语气,似是此去大比,无有此人席位？怪事了,莫非这张衍当真是言过其实？” Although in his heart some do not believe that but took lightly several points to Zhang Yan unavoidably. 他心中虽还是有些不信,但难免对张衍看轻了几分。 Huang Fuzhou hears to jump over dragon Shan to disparage Zhang Yan, frowns unconsciously greatly. 黄复州听得越龙珊贬低张衍,不觉大皱眉头。 He once defeated in the Zhang Yan subordinate, according said how could it not be to appear itself unable to withstand? 他曾败在张衍手下,照如此说,岂非显得自己更为不堪？ Moreover Zhang Yan again is also one of the Azure Ocean Sect Ten Great Disciples, is in sect does not gather again, where has before the bystander dirties the same sect truth? 而且张衍再怎么样也是溟沧派十大弟子之一,便是门中再怎么不合,哪有在外人面前埋汰自己同门的道理？ He wanted to speak, may change mind thinks, secretly thought: „My why multibarreled these others 's business? And goes by them, at the appointed time meets Junior Brother Zhang, some of their bitter fruit eats.” 他本想要出言,可又转念一想,暗道:“我又何必多管这些闲事？且由得他们去,到时遇上张师弟,有的他们苦果吃。” ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
