The period of one month in a hurry, already to the middle of the month 15. 一月之期匆匆而过,已是到了月中十五。 Over ten thousand Huanjiang water continent light a lamp up to hike up, radiant as star, like furnace fire, good, if the prosperous fireworks, crowds around ten eight island continents, in the clear wave reflects brilliant light, just likes the milky way pours, the turbulent flow enter the river, washes to wash the beach stone unceasingly, exudes the roaring. 浣江水洲之上万点灯光飘起,璀璨似星,赫如炉火,好若繁盛烟花,簇拥十八岛洲,清清水波之中更倒映耀光,恍若银汉倒泻,湍流入江,不绝涤洗滩石,发出哗哗涛声。 Above the main island sets up magnificent Palace tower of jade threshold bead column, under the upturned eave has thousand glowing red lanterns to overhang, before the palace, chisels a several mu big or small Hechi, does not know that many inch permits tall color candles are listed in the both sides, the candlelight like the bean, quiet bright flickering. 主岛之上立有一处玉槛珠栏的华丽宫阙,飞檐下有千只红彤彤的灯笼高挂而起,殿前凿有一数亩大小的河池,不知多少寸许高的彩烛列于两侧,烛火如豆,幽烁荧荧。 In the water has koi mouths to hold the pearl, holds the lake surface, although at nightfall, has been possible to put in order the water continent such as the daytime to be been ordinary according to the shape by these bright lights, is widely separated by thousand several li (0.5 km), can see this side boundary to have hold Guangru the torch to lift up high, soars to the heavens reflects spatially, flashes unceasingly. 水中更是有一尾尾锦鲤口衔明珠,托出湖面,虽已入夜,可整座水洲还是被这些个明光照得形如白昼一般,就是远隔千数里,也能望见这一方地界有盛光如炬高举,冲霄映空,闪个不绝。 In the island Main Hall falls above in Longqiu, occupies a commanding position, overlooks the water continent, the surface of the river is really open, leans against a railing to look into the distance, may take in everything at a glance, but there is a guest, in the palace the person all can know ahead of schedule. 岛中大殿落于隆丘之上,居高临下,俯瞰水洲,江面又甚为开阔,凭栏眺望,可一览无余,但有客至,殿中人皆是能提早知晓。 This Huanjiang evening banquet, although to invite Absolute Equality Church three visiting Elder and disciple in name, but to compare notes technique actually, by not only Azure Ocean Sect Ten Great Disciples all received the invitation, some in sect also many low generation of disciple while crossing magical tool come, to intend a view, but their status Is feeble, cannot enter in the palace, can only wait and see from afar. 此次浣江夜宴,虽名义上为宴请平都教三位远道而来的长老及其弟子,但实则为切磋较技,是以非但溟沧派十大弟子皆是收了请柬,门中亦有不少低辈弟子乘渡法器而来,意欲一观,可他们身份低微,入不得殿中,只能远远观望。 This cold Yuehan river, is really the clear silencing was cold, may because of increasing these thousand several disciple, is the noise is livelier. 原本这冷月寒江,甚为清静寂冷,可因增添了这千数名弟子,却是喧嚣热闹许多。 By 7 to 9 p.m beginning carves, then has the guest to arrive one after another, many are escaping cloud Jiawu, but, but is some powder sects and side door disciple. 到了戌时初刻,便陆续有宾客到来,多是遁云驾雾而至,不过皆是些散宗及旁门弟子 Huo Xuan after becoming ten disciple Chief, then dispatched many disciple to go to these schools to guard, however his disciple also many closely related lineage/vein disciple audience's cultivate the dao in Azure Ocean Sect, this time also in invitation. 霍轩自成为十弟子首座后,便遣了不少弟子去这些门派中镇守,然其门下亦有不少嫡脉徒众在溟沧派修道的,此次亦是在宴请之列。 These people still made Huo Xuan go out to welcome unqualified personally, mentioned reasonably, this went to call on his disciple, was only he as the Chen Clan son in law who takes wife's name, oneself have not trained half disciple, by is the Chen Clan juniors who welcomed. 这些人尚不够资格令霍轩亲自出迎,按理说来,本应他门下弟子前去招呼,只是他身为陈族赘婿,自己未曾调教得半个徒儿,是以上去迎候的皆是陈族子弟。 Although he is the facial color is usual, satisfying actually even more hates oneself this status. 他虽是面色如常,可心中却是愈发痛恨自己这个身份。 Suddenly, has the wind smoke together to fly to Main Hall sky over, after transferring one, then before bypassing these, receives a guest disciple, is involved in the palace, Mist Qi collects, the person of appearance is a whole body full is the dirt, daoist that cannot withstand sloppily. 忽然间,有一道风烟飞至大殿上空,转了一圈之后,便绕过那些门前迎客弟子,卷入殿中,烟气一敛,现身之人是一名浑身满是污垢,邋遢不堪的道人 This daoist eyebrow carefully looked that actually is also quite delicate, but the beard stretches out, on the lip is greasy, he have a drowsy look looked at a guest of honor, wiped a face again, Huo Xuan was saying to the palace in loudly: Senior Brother Huo, heard you to buy the banquet, my week is unsolicited with today, asked for the bowl inferior wine to drink especially, can Senior Brother?” 道人眼眉仔细看其实也颇清秀,但是胡子拉碴,唇上俱是油腻,他睡眼惺忪地看了一眼座上客,再抹了一把脸,对着殿上霍轩大声言道:“霍师兄,听闻你置办了酒宴,我周用今日不请自来,特来讨碗水酒喝喝,师兄可准?” Huo Xuan said with a smile: Week Junior Brother is an infrequent visitor, usually wants please also to be please motionless, you can come, for the brother was happy, but also please take a seat.” 霍轩笑道:“周师弟是稀客,平日想请也是请不动,你能来,为兄是高兴的,还请入座。” The week used to laugh, arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest, in the people talking in whispers sound, selected a common corner to sit down, no matter also others, on the one hand grasped the wine pot, filled several fiercely, then tucked away alone according to the case. 周用哈哈一笑,拱了拱手,在众人窃窃私语声中,挑了一处不起眼的角落坐下,也不管他人,一手抓起酒壶,猛灌几口,便独自据案大嚼起来。 Madame Chen frowns unconsciously, in her eye exudes the color of dislike, the footsteps moves, by to the Huo Xuan place, said: Master, This Mistress has not invited this person.” 陈夫人不觉蹙眉,她眼中泛起厌恶之色,脚步移动,靠至霍轩处,道:“老爷,妾身可未请此人。” Huo Xuan sighed: Since came, then is also the guest, the good and evil is also your ten sister's husband, must give an face.” 霍轩叹道:“既然来了,便也是客,好歹也是你十五妹的夫婿,总要给个脸面。” Madame Chen thinks otherwise, to the week with skimming one, snort/hum, said: My the face of Chen, made him lose completely quickly.” 陈夫人不以为然,对周用撇去一眼,哼了一声,道:“我陈家的脸,都快让他丢光了。” The Huo Xuan look is tranquil, without connection. 霍轩眼神平静,没有接口。 Crossed the moment, he suddenly has detect(ed), looks up, sees the simple and beautiful forms to step on the smoke mist to come from afar in the clouds, the aura stagnates slightly, the outside has the sound to resound said: Net dan island Han Island Lord.” 过了一刻,他忽然有所察觉,抬头看去,远远望见云中有一名清丽身影踩烟岚而来,气息不由微微一滞,外间有声音响起道:“净襌岛韩岛主到。” After Han Suyi falls, long flowing silk inner sleeves one volume, will encircle to wield gently in the mist ice cloud of body week, her stance walks slowly and aimlessly gracefully the palace, to the Huo Xuan couple graceful luck, raised the head slightly, looked at Huo Xuan one, two people vision relative flash, some latter slightly non- natures, but Madame Chen actually not detect(ed). 韩素衣落下之后,水袖一卷,就将围在身周的薄雾冰云轻轻挥开,她姿态娴雅地踱上殿来,对霍轩夫妇二人盈盈一福,微微抬头,看了霍轩一眼,两人目光相对的一瞬间,后者微微有些不自然,不过陈夫人却并未察觉 Han Suyi is low the small head, with others many spoken languages, the fine foot does not move lightly, takes a seat to sit well, the people see her clear coldly appearance, sits in the Ten Great Disciples seat, then does not dare to gather up to speak rashly. 韩素衣把螓首低下,也不与他人多言语,纤足轻移,入席坐定,众人见她清清冷冷的模样,又坐在十大弟子的席位中,便也不敢莽撞凑上来说话。 At this time heard suddenly air-splitting sharp sound, chilly sword qi is the broken palace enters together, when the people responded, young handsome azure robe daoist very. on, his facial expression is solemn, the whole body sharp qi, resembled such as the sword of sheath, the woods compels the person coldly, making one not want to leave him to be farther voluntarily, he did not open the mouth, is cuping one hand in the other across the chest to Huo Xuan, then calculated to greet 这时忽闻破空锐响,一道清冽剑气已是破殿而入,待众人反应过来时,一名年轻俊挺的青袍道人已是到了席上,他神情冷峻,满身锐气,似如出鞘之剑,森寒迫人,使人不自觉想要离他远些,他也不开口,对着霍轩一拱手,便算打过招呼。 Madame Chen some are unhappy immediately, Huo Xuan actually did not care, smiled one, said: Was Junior Brother Ning comes.” 陈夫人顿时有些不喜,霍轩却不在意,笑了一声,道:“是宁师弟来了。” He knows this Junior Brother Ning, although is the cultivation date and time cannot be regarded long-term, but also cultivates to Core Transformation 3-layer at the present, is precisely the in sect only cultivation «Cloudy Firmament Thousand Seizing Sword Scripture» person, although this Slaughter(ing) Dao Technique at present could not have seen is difficult to deal with to come, but its, once strides in Nascent Soul Realm, Returning Truth/really does not know that several people can be his opponent, therefore does not dare to look down upon. 他知这位宁师弟虽是修行时日算不得长远,但而今也修至化丹三重了,且是门中唯一修行云霄千夺剑经》之人,这门杀伐道术眼下虽还看不出厉害来,但其一旦跨入元婴境界,还真不知有几人会是其对手,因此丝毫不敢小视。 Ning Chongxuan takes a seat is not long, has one gold and one red two escape light to fly to the clouds, is quick such as the illness/quick electricity people just now saw, sees a before one's eyes flower, two daoist have fallen before the palace. 宁冲玄落座未久,云中又有一金一红遁光飞至,皆是快如疾电众人方才见到,就见眼前一花,两名道人已是落在殿前。 Right hand daoist black hair beautiful fine beard, dignified in appearance, stands in left side that daoist, the nose thin lips, the vision is very chilly, such as snow white clothing, pure. 右手一名道人黑发美髯,仪表堂堂,站于左侧那道人,挺鼻薄唇,目光清冷,一身如雪白衣,不染纤尘。 Huo Xuan sets out to welcome, goes out several steps, bows said: „The Master Du younger brother and desolate Junior Brother comes just right, please enter the palace to sit quietly.” 霍轩起身相迎,走出几步,稽首道:“杜师弟与萧师弟来得正好,请入殿安坐吧。” Du De and Xiao Ti two people because of being probable not the Sword Battle congress, to compare notes the sparring incident not to crave with Absolute Equality Church Elder disciple, did not want, but two people all are Azure Ocean Sect Aristocratic Family disciple, must give a Huo Xuan several points of face. 杜德萧倜二人因去不得斗剑大会,对与平都教长老弟子切磋斗法一事并不热衷,本不欲至,只是二人皆为溟沧派世家弟子,总要给霍轩几分脸面。 After a spoken language smalltalk, two people then enter the seat. 一番言语客套后,两人便入席位。 in sect Ten Great Disciples, except 24 years one ** beyond the ratio, then rarely makes an appearance in front of same sect, that thousand several low generation of disciple beside Main Hall, pours one less than half only to hear its reputation, but has actually never seen Daoist Master, at this time actually one sees five people, stared in a big way both eyes unconsciously, loudly shouted satisfies a craving, only thought the trip not empty. 门中十大弟子,除却二十四载一**比之外,便很少在同门面前露面,在大殿之外的那千数名低辈弟子,倒有一小半只听说过其名声,但却从未见过真人的,此时却一下见得五人,不觉瞪大了双目,大呼过瘾,只觉此行不虚。 In the Huo Xuan heart pondered over, this Junior Brother Zhuang and Junior Sister Qin do not feast, that then also missed Junior brother Luo and Junior Brother Zhang not.” 霍轩心中思忖,“此次庄师弟琴师妹不来赴宴,那便还差洛师弟张师弟未至了。” During Zhuang Bufan after above Grand Competition lost to Luo Qingyu other day, these for dozens years in immortal cave with concentration cultivation, always leaves the island one step, at this moment have not all been closing up. 庄不凡自上回大比之上败于洛清羽后,这数十年来皆在洞府之中潜心修行,从来未曾出岛一步,此刻还在闭关之中。 As for Qin Nan, according to what has been heard the cultivating divine ability ingenious method under the Daoist Peng direction, to not have the leisure to arrive. 至于琴楠,据闻是在彭真人指点之下修炼神通妙法,是以也无闲暇到来。 Arrived 7 to 9 p.m end, the horizon inundated piece of azure light, initially when the dreary sound of wind volume flying leaf, after is several breaths, hears the thunderous explosion sound in abundance, in the place the people stands up, startled looked at the past, outside the palace disciple stares big both eyes, does not know that who newcomer was, had momentum so unexpectedly, the person of insight resulted in shouted: Was Daoist Master Luo comes.” 到了戌时末,天边漫来一片青光,初时还是风卷飞叶的萧瑟之声,可是不过几息后,就闻得雷鸣轰响,座上众人纷纷站起,惊望过去,殿外弟子更是瞪大双目,不知来者是谁,竟有这般声势,有识得的人喊道:“是洛真人来了。” Huo Xuan leaves the table, a stepback has Main Hall, looks at the space to look, Madame Chen be hesitant, tightened several steps with. 霍轩离席而起,头回步出大殿,望天上看去,陈夫人犹豫了一下,也是紧了几步跟来。 Luo Qingyu sits in harnesses in dark green azure secondary rainbow feather flying carriage, he said that hair bun tall Wan, high-spirited, it sets up two boy one on the left and other on the right, a person holds thunder branch, holds person of bamboo leaves, in addition also have several ten Strength Warrior follow. 洛清羽坐于一驾苍青霓羽飞车之中,他道髻高挽,意气风发,其一左一右立有两个童儿,一人持雷枝,一持人竹叶,此外还有数十名力士相随。 Outside the palace more than thousand disciple all are looks admires, while flying carriage, with the young lad journey, this is in sect Nascent Soul Daoist has the conduct that. 殿外千多名弟子皆是看得艳羡不已,乘飞辇,携童子出行,这是门中元婴真人才有的做派。 Luo Qingyu falls carriage before the palace step, after coming out, the lip angle has a smile, hit one to bow to Daoist Master Huo, said: Senior Brother Huo greetings.” 洛清羽车驾降在殿阶之前,出来之后,唇角含笑,对霍真人打了一个稽首,道:“霍师兄有礼。” Huo Xuan returned to a ritual, he and Luo Qingyu have no friendship, because of the opposite party is Nascent Soul Daoist, therefore had not lacked the courtesy, delivers it to the seat on personally, this courteous reception, was actually not others can compared with. 霍轩回了一礼,他与洛清羽并无什么交情,但因对方乃是一位元婴真人,因此没有缺了礼数,亲自将其送至席上,这份礼遇,却不是他人能比了。 Huo Xuan just now transfers, outside the palace one noisy, these disciple Cry out in surprise repeatedly, are pointing at in the air, said: Absolute Equality Church Elder to!” 霍轩方才转出来,殿外就一片嘈杂,那些弟子惊呼连声,纷纷指着空中,道:“平都教长老至了!” During far is spatial floats Cloud Raft, above three Old Daoist minute of glyph sit quietly, side also person, pretty, wears the lunar white lan garment, precisely in sect Ten Great Disciples Zhong Muqing ranked the second, these four people all are Nascent Soul cultivation base, when one, Astral Qi overflows unceasingly, under surface of the river was rolled up and pushed along by the hurricane, high and low turns wells up. 远空之中飘来一座云筏,三名老道人分品字形安坐其上,旁侧还有一人,眉清目秀,身着月白色襕衫,正是门中十大弟子排名第二的钟穆清,这四人皆是元婴修为,在一处时,罡气不断溢出,底下江面似被飓风卷动,上下翻涌。 In them behind, is following more than ten disciple by far, Wu Hancheng is also one of them, the peer comes, raises the pleased island Island Lord Huang Fuzhou couple. 在他们身后,则是远远跟随着十余名弟子,那吴函承亦在其中,同行而来的,还有养悦岛岛主黄复州夫妇二人。 Huo Xuan and Madame Chen do not dare to be disrespectful, the under foot treads, then had/left Main Hall, ascends the cloud on, in in the air wished adore/admire word with these three Elder mutually, after many times, fell returns to the palace, divided the guest and host seating order. 霍轩陈夫人不敢失礼,脚下一踏,便出了大殿,登云而上,在空中与这三名长老互祝慕词,好些功夫之后,才一齐落回殿中,分了宾主座次。 This Main Hall deliberately arranges after Madame Chen, to distinguish clearly position high and low, if therefore the quarter pace falls, divides 3-layer. 这处大殿陈夫人刻意布置,为了分清地位尊卑,因此如梯台而落,分有三层 The Huo Xuan place seat of honor is highest, under his left hand first, sitting is Zhong Muqing and Luo Qingyu two people, opposite sits with Absolute Equality Church three Elder. 霍轩所在主位最高,他左手之下第一席,坐得乃是钟穆清洛清羽二人,与平都教三位长老对面而坐。 Absolute Equality Church that more than ten disciple and other Azure Ocean Sect all people all are Core Transformation cultivation base, by sitting above sublever stage. 平都教那十余名弟子溟沧派余下诸人皆是化丹修为,是以坐于次层高台之上。 Goes again downward, is these powder side door disciple, at the appointed time they propose a toast to banquet, actually has to raise the head tall vision. 再往下去,则是那些散宗旁门弟子,届时他们敬酒饮宴,却不得不仰首高视了。 At this time Absolute Equality Church that more than ten disciple all size up Azure Ocean Sect all people, in the eye appears the fighting spirit of not being able to repress unclearly. 此时平都教那十余名弟子皆是打量溟沧派诸人,眼中隐隐然现出按捺不住的斗志。 Absolute Equality Church and Azure Ocean Sect, although is the pledge is good, but also is only restricted in the former generation, among this generation of disciple takes a walk not many, each other does not know well. This evening banquet, they had the meaning of exploring Azure Ocean details. 平都教溟沧派虽是盟好,但也仅限于上代,这一辈弟子之间走动不多,彼此并不熟识。此次夜宴,他们本就有试探一番溟沧底细的意思在内。 Huo, bell, and other Nascent Soul Daoist they know unable to provoke, to only cast the most vision in Du De, Xiao Ti, Ning Chongxuan et al . 只是霍、钟、洛等三名元婴真人他们自知无法招惹,是以只把大半目光投在杜德,萧倜,宁冲玄等人身上。 The Elder Hu vision skims, actually detected that opposite had one is still a nobody left, swept Azure Ocean Sect to present all people, his smile however smiled, signals with the eyes to disciple, that disciple was understanding, immediately loudly said: Hears your home to have disciple Core Accomplishment First Grade, doesn't know may today to?” 胡长老目光撇去,却发觉对面有一席尚是空无一人,扫了一眼溟沧派在座诸人,他哂然一笑,对身边弟子使了个眼色,那弟子会意,立时大声道:“听闻贵门有一名弟子丹成一品,不知今日可至?” Huo Xuan said: That is my in sect Zhang Yan Junior Brother, this time also in invitation, was only at this moment still also not.” 霍轩道:“那是我门中张衍师弟,此次也在宴请之列,只是此刻尚还未至。” That person smiles suddenly, ridiculed in a tone with: Is it possible that heard that I and others arrived, wants the Fighting Competition technique, by doesn't dare to come?” 那人突然一笑,语带讥讽道:“莫非听说我等到来,要比斗较技,是以不敢来了么?” Wu to become contains the surprise to look, he does not know why this Junior Brother said that this grade of spoken language, clearly spoke to pick a quarrel. 吴成涵诧异看去,他不知这位师弟为何如此说,这等言语,分明出言寻衅了。 This disciple said, pours does not have, because, first truly is arrogant, being conceited, secondly was Elder Hu once had then confessed specially in secret. 这名弟子如此说,倒也并非无因,一来确实是傲气十足,自视甚高,二来便是胡长老曾特意暗中交代过。 Madame Chen listened is not very unhappy, asks maidservant to ask: Guest, how that Zhang Yan has not arrived, what can confess?” 陈夫人听了很是不喜,找了身旁侍女过来问道:“宾客已至,怎么那张衍迟迟未到,可有什么交代?” The maidservants shake the head, only said that does not know. 侍女摇摇头,只说不知。 Madame Chen is disgruntled: This Junior Brother Zhang what's the matter, invitation three months has sent to early, then what accident has, should dispatch the person to officially inform one reasonably, how not making a sound? Good does not have the custom.” 陈夫人不悦道:“这个张师弟是怎么回事,请柬早三月就已送去,便是有什么变故,按理也应遣人来知会一声,怎么不声不响?好没规矩。” ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
