Two months later, Huanjiang water continent. 两月之后,浣江水洲。 Madame Chen gets ten several maidservants, the under foot to step on clouds, walks together above color light faint rainbow bridge, is ordering about the servant lantern light shop to be colored, arranges the one month later evening banquet carefully. 陈夫人领着十数名侍女,脚下踩云,行走一道彩光隐隐的虹桥之上,正支使下人挂灯铺花,精心布置一月之后的夜宴。 This banquet to invite Absolute Equality Church three Elder, but Madame Chen actually wants to drum up support for own husband Huo Xuan. 这宴会原本是为了宴请平都教的三位长老,只是陈夫人却想借此为自家夫婿霍轩造势。 She raises the head the looking into the distance eye to look, sees only under the hazy dim light of night, the hundred zhang (333 m) high vacancy, was encircled by the fog link, the partly visible flying high flying pavilion, bright bright moonlight cuts in the eave corner/horn, such as Ice Slab hangs, its scenery is tall and pleasing to the eye, as if wonderland. 她仰首眺眼望去,只见迷蒙夜色之下,百丈高空处,有一座被云雾环围,若隐若现的凌空飞阁,一轮皎洁明月剪在檐角,如冰盘挂下,其景美轮美奂,仿佛人间仙境。 She looked at a while, in the beautiful eye a blur, later, recovers for a long time, looks after maid saying: „, Inside and outside the birds the water continent was driving away, next month 15 that day, if flies acorss in the cloud, obstructed the view, my only you and others were then held responsible.” 她看了一会儿,美目之中略带一丝迷离,许久之后,才回过神来,关照身旁婢女道:“记着了,将水洲内外禽鸟都驱赶了去,下月十五那日,若有一只飞渡云上,碍了景致,我便唯你等是问。” All maidservants hastily together accordingly. 所有侍女连忙一起应声。 This Huanjiang water continent altogether has 18 Xiandao to gather together to gather, each other has the flying bridge to be connected, allocates Shangnuanshui to kiss the stone, the crane bird flies fast to fly, the scenery is very unique. 这浣江水洲共有十八座仙岛拢合,彼此有飞桥相连,平摊之上暖水吻石,鹤鸟翩飞,景物很是别致。 What is most marvelous, above 18 islands, all the island heart lake, to the middle of the month 15, in the lake can appear every time a round of bright moonlight light shadow, only need after double-hour, the Vault of Heaven of phosgene in the water direct impact, to that place flying high pavilion then from stopping, swung the day sailing upstream river that a jade belt also resembled, had that 18 rounds of bright moon encirclements to dance in the air again, arched the row all round, might be considered as the unparalleled wonderful scenery. 最为奇妙的是,十八座岛屿之上,皆有一处岛心湖,每至月中十五,湖中都能映现出一轮明月光影,只消到了时辰后,光气携水直冲上天穹,到了那处凌空楼阁便自止住,荡出一条玉带也似的天上水河,再有那十八轮皎月环绕飞舞,团团拱列,堪称是无双妙景。 Enjoying looking at the moon sits in the pavilion watches the moonlight, quite about the immortal pleasure, therefore this garret is called „Moon Catching Pavilion”. 赏月者坐于阁之中观赏月色,颇合仙家乐趣,因此这处阁楼又被称作“捉月轩”。 After Madame Chen walked several, then got down rainbow bridge, is away from the wave light clear river water, sees Huo Xuan to be built in the center of the lake together small piece of land surrounded by water stone, then toward under foot one finger/refers, leading a maid to have the smoke cloud behind together, comes, to fall on its side light, supple sound said: „Master, you looked how your servant does arrange? But good?” 陈夫人走了几圈之后,便下了虹桥,隔着波光粼粼的江水,望见霍轩立于湖心一块渚石上,便朝着脚下一指,带着身后一名婢女起得一道烟云,轻飘而来,落在其身侧,柔声道:“老爷,你看奴家这么布置如何？可好么？” Huo Xuan turns around, looks in the lake surface that everywhere obvious lamp flower pearl, then said with a smile: „Madame handles, that is inevitably good.” 霍轩转过身来,看着湖面上那处处可见的灯花明珠,便笑道:“夫人经手的,那必然都是好的。” Madame Chen his eyes, complained horizontally: „Master, your servant is so tired, but is busy for you, should not be careful.” 陈夫人横他一眼,埋怨道:“老爷,奴家这般劳累,可是为你奔劳,你可不要太不上心了。” Huo Xuan resembles, helpless said: „Has the madame to handle, for the husband was very much, does not hold this leisurely mood of feeling relieved?” 霍轩状似无奈道:“有夫人打理,为夫自是放心的很,就不操这闲心了吧？” Although Madame Chen is in the surface blames, satisfying actually likes, said: „Searches for pearls, we walk, does not go to manage him.” 陈夫人虽是面上怨怪,可心中却是欢喜,道:“采珠,我们走,不去理他。” Follows her beautiful maidservant to a Huo Xuan in a hurry ritual, looks at his one eyes secretly, along with Madame Chen. 跟随她的一名秀丽侍女对着霍轩匆匆一礼,又偷偷看他一眼,就随陈夫人去了。 After two people walk, Huo Xuan sees two maidservant towards oneself to walk, he slightly frowns, said: „You and others in this period of five days, I am dehydrating on the porch to walk.” 两人走后,霍轩见有两名侍女正朝自己走来,他略皱眉头,道:“你等在此候着,我去水轩上走走。” Two maidservants look at each other one, low base and low the sound is, stops the footsteps. 两名侍女对视一眼,低低道了声是,就停下脚步。 Huo Xuan stamps the feet, on the flying on that flying high garret, stood firm above the ridge, in vision piece of cold intent. 霍轩一跺脚,就飞身上了那凌空阁楼,在屋脊之上站定,目光中一片冷意。 Since he has sat the Ten Great Disciples first place, almost all depended on the excellent wrist/skill conduct, has not moved in Chen Clan invited, even if a person helps one another, after wants after a considerable period of time, oneself this status will gradually desalinate. 自他坐上十大弟子首位以来,几乎是全是靠了过人手腕行事,无有请动过陈族中哪怕一人相助,想天长日久之后,将自己这层身份逐渐淡化了。 But this evening banquet, Madame Chen must insert a foot, resembling is shy does not know that he is the Chen Clan son in law who takes wife's name is common, stirring up him is very unhappy. 可此次夜宴,陈夫人非要插一脚过来,似是怕人不知道他乃是陈族赘婿一般,惹得他十分不喜。 He also knows, at this time is also not the outbreak time, when oneself come back from Sword Battle Daoist Assembly, does not need extremely to look at the Chen Clan complexion. 只是他也知,此时还不是发作的时候,等到自己从斗剑法会上回来,就无需太过看陈族的脸色了。 The Madame Chen side to Southeast side islands , the burning incense wind was suddenly intermittent every day/sees the sky, coming a bright light saying that above is standing a dignified and graceful middle-aged beautiful woman, before one's eyes one bright, revealed the joyful color, the under foot steps on, then had smoke Juntto she to come up void, the innumerable blessings said for the ritual: „How did three paternal aunts come?” 陈夫人方至东南方一座岛屿上,忽见天上香风阵阵,来了一朵灿烂光云,上面站着一名仪态万千的中年美妇,不禁眼前一亮,露出欣喜之色,脚下一踩,便有烟云托她上去虚空,万福为礼道:“三姑姑怎得来了？” Her paternal aunt 's name is Chen Qiaoling, married with Xiao Musui for the wife, but after the latter falls a life and death does not know, because of disliking in the dwelling is lonely, then returned to the Chen Clan clan to live, was known as the communication with her. 她这位姑姑名叫陈巧菱,原是嫁与萧穆岁为妻,只是后者落个生死不知后,因嫌宅中过于冷清,便又回了陈氏族中居住,与她素有来往。 Chen Qiaoling line to the near, pulls the Madame Chen arm, collects to her ear near, may not treat urgently asks: „Does azure niece, that Zhang Yan this time work as to otherwise?” 陈巧菱行至近前,上来挽住陈夫人手臂,凑至她耳边,亟不可待地问道:“青侄女,那张衍此次当至否？” Madame Chen is startled, hesitates slightly, said: „Paternal aunt, the niece has dispatched the person to send to the invitation long time ago, this person...... considers will come.” 陈夫人一怔,稍有迟疑,道:“姑姑,侄女儿早早就已遣人送去请柬,此人……当是会来的。” Properly speaking, in sect Ten Great Disciples will send the invitation, but she does not know Zhang Yan, this paternal aunt insists on requesting to it to, her where will worry about this matter specially? 按理说,门中十大弟子都会发去请柬,但她根本不识得张衍,要不是这位姑姑执意要求非要将其请至,她哪里会特意去记挂此事？ After the invitation sends out, had one to inquire again, actually Zhang Yan can, she unable to know, now speaks thoughtlessly to be perfunctory. 请柬发出之后,就再有没有一句过问了,张衍究竟会不回来,她无从知晓,现下只是随口敷衍。 Chen Qiaoling has not listened to uncertainty in her words, in a resentful tone said: „In the past Zhang Yan harmed my Master to be missing, this time I wanted him to be attractive surely.” 陈巧菱没听出她话里的不确定,恨声道:“当年张衍害我老爷下落不明,此次我定要他好看。” Madame Chen comforts her saying: „Paternal aunt feels at ease, my family Master listens my, he is the head of Ten Great Disciples, but also who dares not to listen his, at the appointed time he is seeking a excuse, teaches its one for you and that's the end.” 陈夫人安慰她道:“姑姑安心,我家老爷都听我的,他乃是十大弟子之首,还有谁敢不听他的,到时着他寻个借口,替你教训其一顿就是了。” Chen Qiaoling pressed firmly between the fingers her hand to make an effort to grasp grasping, felt grateful: „Azure niece had a mind.” 陈巧菱捏住她的手用力握了握,感激道:“青侄女有心了。” Actually in her heart does not favor to Madame Chen, perhaps looks like in Madame Chen, Huo Xuan to oneself obedient, but the onlooker is clear-headed, she has paid attention in secret, perhaps Huo Xuan is one has the person of opinion extremely, the minor matter does not haggle over, may meet the important matter, was actually not necessarily able to give. 其实她心中对陈夫人并不如何看好,或许在陈夫人自家看来,霍轩对自己百依百顺,可旁观者清,她暗中留意过,霍轩是一个极有主见之人,小事或许都是不去计较,可遇上大事,却未必会迁就了。 Especially Huo Xuan is not Qi Yuntian, sat above this is about dozens years, oneself prestige and cultivation base were all not enough to coerce other nine disciple, but also can only be primarily winning over to show good will, least bit strong, has to plan by this matter her. 尤其是霍轩并非齐云天,在此位之上坐了不过数十载,自身威望与修为皆不足以压服其余九名弟子,还只能以拉拢示好为主,半点强硬不来,是以此事她早就另有算计了。 After two females chatted good one, exudes fish-belly white until the horizon, Chen Qiaoling said good-bye Madame Chen, then the vertical cloud, returned extended rapids land Zhou. 两女聊了好一阵后,直到天边泛起鱼肚白,陈巧菱才辞别了陈夫人,便纵云而起,回了延泷陆洲。 After half time, falls in own residence courtyard, a maid, whisper prosperous, she nods, walks toward the house. The lobby crossing room, after entering the dwelling, after lifting the bead curtain, sees in the hall to sit a weathered color, skin rough and work-soiled Old Daoist., She beckons with the hand, said to the maid behind: „You go out.” 半个时候之后,就落在自家居所院落之中,一名婢女上来,耳语了几几,她点了点头,朝屋舍中走去。一路穿堂过室,入了后宅,掀开珠帘之后,就见堂上坐有一名面带风霜之色,皮肤粗黑的老道人。,她摆了摆手,对身后婢女道:“你们出去。” In the room is only left over her after that Old Daoist, she waved, opened restrictive seal, simply said: „How did Elder Hu come?” 待屋中只剩下她和那老道人后,她一挥手,启了禁制,便道:“胡长老怎么来了？” That Old Daoist opens both eyes, feels the goat beard on chin, said: „This matter this Eminence thinks, feels strange.” 那老道人睁开双目,摸着下巴上的山羊胡须,道:“此事本座想了想,还是觉得不妥啊。” Chen Qiaoling is startled, later startled gets angry: „The reached an agreement matter, is it possible that can Elder Hu renege on a promise inadequately?” 陈巧菱一怔,随后惊怒道:“都已说好的事情,胡长老莫非要反悔不成？” Elder Hu knits the brows: „Has Madame desolate, how could this Eminence reached an agreement with you? What also has consented your?” 胡长老皱眉道:“萧夫人,本座何曾与你说好过？又应允过你什么了？” Chen Qiaoling snort/hum, to branched out on the seat to sit down, the silent moment, said slowly: „How do you treat?” 陈巧菱哼了一声,到了旁出座椅上坐下,沉默片刻,缓缓道:“你待如何？” Elder Hu narrows the eye saying: „this Eminence as Nascent Soul cultivator, is Absolute Equality Church Elder, the madame actually wants me to bully Core Transformation younger generation, but must humiliate in him ruthlessly, passing on extremely is not rather of pleasant to hear, this act this Eminence is also takes the risk that the reputation harms, Madame desolate whether first first to divide half to give me that treasure?” 胡长老眯眼道:“本座身为元婴修士,又是平都教长老,夫人却要我去欺压一名化丹后辈,还要狠狠折辱于他,传出去未免太过不好听,此举本座也是冒着名声有损的风险,萧夫人可否先将那宝贝先分一半予我？” Chen Qiaoling facial color is not quite attractive, gets angry: „Elder Hu, This Mistress had previously put out were many in my mansion medicine pill and you, are these insufficient?” 陈巧菱面色不太好看,怒道:“胡长老,先前妾身已是拿出了不少我府中丹药与你,难道那些还不够么？” Elder Hu facial color cold, did not say patiently: „Madame desolate, is it possible that you thinks that this Eminence is seeks after your medicine pill to be inadequate? If not for your father and my somewhat friendship, you also pleaded in every possible way, the old man this has not been willing to accept this matter, these medicine pill I will then dispatch disciple to return you to be good tomorrow, excuse my not attending!” 胡长老面色冷了下来,不耐烦道:“萧夫人,莫非你以为本座是贪图你这些丹药不成？若不是你老父与我有几分交情,你又百般恳求,老夫本还不愿应承此事,那些丹药明日我便遣弟子送还予你好了,恕不奉陪了！” The word finishes, he then cups one hand in the other across the chest, sets out to walk outward. 言毕,他便拱拱手,起身往外走去。 Chen Qiaoling was anxious immediately, toward an entrance station, said: „Elder Hu, can't this matter discuss again?” 陈巧菱顿时急了,往门口一站,道:“胡长老,此事不可再商量么？” Elder Hu shakes the head, resembles two schools to compare notes Fighting Competition, particularly in he sends in the boundary, as a guest, is unable to do extremely, even if won the opponent seriously little, still its will keep under a stair as far as possible, will be in the future good to meet. 胡长老摇摇头,似两派切磋比斗,尤其是在他派地界上,身为宾客,也无法做得太过,就算当真赢了对手少许,也尽量会给其留个台阶下,日后也好相见。 May resemble Chen Qiaoling request, did not keep the face, if even if its said that Zhang Yan has lost power in in sect, does this grade of matter, still violated the taboo extremely, the advantage of its promise was really big, he does not want to comply initially. 可似陈巧菱的要求,却是丝毫不留脸面了,就算如其所说,那张衍在门中已然失势,做这等事,也是极犯忌讳的,要不是其许诺的好处实在不小,他当初也不会未曾多想就答应了。 Chen Qiaoling sees Elder Hu not to say a word, in the heart was chaotic immediately. 陈巧菱见胡长老只是不言语,心中顿时乱了起来。 She also knows by oneself ability, has no alternative with Zhang Yan, is Aristocratic Family Lineage, on cannot move its slightest outwardly. 她也知以自己的能耐,是拿张衍无可奈何的,便是世家一脉,在明面上也动不了其分毫。 However she has also understood clearly to the present in sect situation, knows that Daoist Peng holds oneself disciple Qin Nan high-rank, when this is Zhang Yan is weakest, must make a move to deal with this person, the precisely best time, clenches teeth, said: „Elder Hu waits a bit.” 不过她对如今门中局势也是有所了然,知道彭真人已然扶了自家弟子琴楠上位,此是张衍最为虚弱之时,要出手对付此人,正是最好时机,咬了咬牙,道:“胡长老稍等。” Elder Hu was light „un”, although he in surface desolate, actually was actually in the heart self-satisfied. 胡长老淡淡“嗯”了一声,他虽面上冷淡,实则却是心中得意的很。 How many times he had probed previously, is saw that in Chen Qiaoling heart obsession is really deep, moreover besides oneself, she resembles is also has nothing others to ask, that is not whatever did act bashful? 他先前试探过几次,已是看出陈巧菱心中执念甚深,而且除了自己之外,她似也是无有他人可求,那不就是任凭自己拿捏了么？ He even dares saying that so long as firmly decline is not willing, the opposite party to ask oneself acts, perhaps at the appointed time will also deliver that treasure little darling, but he, although this had confidence, may actually come up in great numbers and from all sides what knottiness to come out most likely at the appointed time, therefore is not willing to handle extremely the matter, only strove for first attaining half to say again. 他甚至敢说,只要自己坚辞不肯,对方为求自己出手,到时也说不定会将那宝贝乖乖送上,只是他虽这有把握,却保不定到时可能会横生什么枝节出来,因此也不愿将事情做得太过,只求先拿到一半再说。 Chen Qiaoling transferred quickly, puts out a none to explode from the sachet in gently flashes, the luck in gambling eye-catching symbol shell comes out, hands over in the Elder Hu hand. 陈巧菱很快转了回来,自香囊内轻轻拿出一枚精光爆闪,彩气耀目的符贝出来,交到胡长老手中。 This thing is Chen Clan secret Lian self-defense Supreme Treasure, named „Two-Qi Godlight Shellfish Talisman”, when each Chen Clan direct descendant disciple, all one along, this was her father lost, passed away remained to her, at this moment handed over, was loves dearly extremely. 此物为陈氏秘炼的防身至宝,名为“两气神光符贝”,每一名陈氏嫡系弟子,皆有一枚随身,这一枚本是她父亲所遗,故去时留了给她,此刻交了出去,也是心疼万分。 But in addition, she really cannot find out, what can please move this Elder to act. 可是除此之外,她委实想不出,还有何物才能请动这位长老出手。 Even so, the opposite party also looked in the past years with her father several points of friendship share , will otherwise not receive this matter. 就算如此,对方还看在当年与她父亲几分交情的份上,否则根本不会接下此事。 Elder Hu takes up this rune/symbol white/shell, placed before one's eyes to look at carefully carefully, looked some little time, his eye put none, to praise sighed: „Really is ‚Two-Qi Godlight Shellfish Talisman’, has such treasure in the hand, is as good are many a life.” 胡长老拿起这枚符贝,放在眼前仔细端详,看了好一会儿,他目放精光,赞叹道:“果然是‘两气神光符贝’,有如此宝物在手,不亚于多得一条性命。” Madame Chen cannot bear remind that he said: „This is the Yang Qi symbol, a Yin Qi symbol, two air/Qi come in handy, can unfold its power and influence, Elder must go back on word not.” 陈夫人忍不住点醒他道:“此是阳气符,还有一枚阴气符,两气合用,方能展其威势,长老莫要食言。” Elder Hu smiles lightly, did not say a word, put away this symbol income sleeve, arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest, said: „That junior surnamed Zhang, above the Huanjiang evening banquet this Eminence will intend to repair, Madame desolate prepares Yang rune/symbol and that's the end.” 胡长老淡淡一笑,也不言语,将这符收入袖中放好,拱了拱手,道:“那姓张的小辈,浣江夜宴之上本座自会出手修理,萧夫人把阳符备妥就是了。” ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
