Succeeding River is the Eastern Flower Continent first river, the river water came from west, boundless turbulent, eastern class/flow entering the sea, this water crosses the continent land, isolated the Northern Wei Nanliang two dynasties, was known as „jade belt to encircle the landscape, in two points of the world” reputation. 成江为东华洲第一大河,江水自西而来,茫茫荡荡,东流入海,此水横贯洲陆,隔绝北魏南梁两朝,素有“玉带围江山,两分天下中”之美誉。 Bearing Source Valley then in the Succeeding River center-section, because of cross-strait topography Gaolong, Jiajiang confronts, the wide place is more than 300 li (0.5 km), the narrow place is about dozens zhang (3.33 m), the water current is turbulent, is the river valley rapids, the hump hill, the upstream offers a sacrifice to Tian Ling one everywhere is unvisited, therefore Sixteen Sects Sword Battle all elects successively here. 承源峡便在成江中段,因两岸地势高隆,夹江对峙,宽处达三百余里,窄处不过数十丈,水流汹涌湍急,到处是河谷险滩,山岗丘陵,上游祭天岭一段更是人迹罕至,故而历次十六派斗剑皆是选在此处。 Go with Huo, bell and one line of this on a grand scale, the momentum deafening sound differently, Wei Zihong exhorts according to Zhang Yan beforehand, is actually all alone. 与霍、钟、洛三人一行人此去大张旗鼓,声势喧天不同,魏子宏按照张衍事先嘱咐,却是孤身一人出发。 He does not tread Yunfei to escape, is only riding a small boat, traces the river on, watches the cross-strait view full of enthusiasm. 他并不踏云飞遁,只乘着一叶扁舟,溯江而上,一路兴致勃勃地观赏两岸景致。 Succeeding River middle and lower reaches densely populated, both banks are the view temple tower, the ancient road high peak, the spring breeze cross, green willow Bicao swings, the fragrant Shufang leaf flutters, makes people completely relaxed unconsciously. 成江中下游人烟稠密,两岸多是观庙楼台,古道奇峰,春风渡来,绿柳碧草摇摆,香树芳叶飘动,不觉使人心旷神怡。 Above Succeeding River the passenger steamer week oar is many, the crossing a river trade route is continuous, many officials others, see the Wei Zihong single alone boat, does not hold the thick liquid, does not hoist sails, then can the adverse current the line, know this daoist to have cultivation. 成江之上客船周楫繁多,渡江商旅络绎不绝,其中亦不乏官宦人家,见魏子宏单人独舟,不操浆,不升帆,便能逆流而行,就知这个道人是有道行的。 Now although meets the tumultuous times, but bandit chaotic war many in the Northwest border pass, the riverside downstream relatively is also the place of peace, many people see his mystical, but also the intention holds the boat to say something to smooth things over with him, although Wei Zihong this small boat seems like not quick, but several breath time, had gone among far spatial clear water, the person can only look to sigh. 如今虽逢乱世,但匪乱战事多是在西北边关,沿江下游相对还算是太平之地,有不少人看出他神异,还意图操舟上来与他搭讪,魏子宏这小舟虽看似不快,可不过几息时间,就已是去了远空碧水之间,身后之人只能望而兴叹。 The Wei Zihong vertical intent has a good swim, suddenly has detect(ed), lifted to look at a horizon, saw two escape light to fly from south, saw is a man and a woman, the male facial expression was straightforward, the brocade clothes jade belt, the body bound the air/Qi of smoke ghost, being obvious at a glance was Core Transformation cultivator cultivates, but the female is harnessing pink Profound Light, then when was flew to escape, the facial expression physique also all shows one to flatter intent. 魏子宏正纵意畅游,忽然有所察觉般,抬首瞧了眼天际,见有两道遁光自南飞来,看到出是一男一女,那男子貌相粗豪,锦衣玉带,身裹烟煞之气,一望而知是一名化丹修士修,而女子则是驾着粉色玄光,便是飞遁之时,脸容身姿也无不透出一股媚意来。 Two people do not plunder anxiously, but floats gently with the wind, suddenly saw Wei Zihong, is looks startled to accommodate, two people whispered several, the man also suspends the sleeve, comes to the Wei Zihong near, very polite holding the fist in the other hand, said: „Dao Brother this solitary one boat flood river, spreads to look at the scenery, seriously is the good aesthetic pleasure, below Paireau just, is Five Mist Mountain Straight Source Immortal Mansion disciple, may I ask the Daoist Priest given name?” 二人并不急掠,而是随风飘游,忽然见了魏子宏,也是面露惊容,两人私语了几句,那男子也就摆袖而下,来至魏子宏近前,很是客气的一抱拳,道:“道兄孤舟泛江,遍览山水,当真是好雅兴,在下裴洛甫,乃是五烟山径源仙府门下,敢问道长大名？” Wei Zihong sprinkles however to return a courtesy, said: „This Poor Daoist is Jade Yin School Wei Zihong.” 魏子宏洒然为回礼,道:“贫道乃是瑶阴派魏子宏。” „ Jade Yin School?” “瑶阴派？” Paireau was just startled was startled, he bragged experienced, had actually never heard the Jade Yin School name, as for the name of Wei Zihong, that was strange. 裴洛甫怔了一怔,他自诩见多识广,却从未听说过瑶阴派的名字,至于魏子宏之名,那更是陌生。 Other source sees the Wei Zihong Spiritual Will imposing, the atmosphere is calm, has a natural demeanor, cultivator of common small sect family background, does not want to seek acquaintance with high-ranking people, has not thought that is actually sect cultivator that does not have fame, simply Wei Zihong always is also Core Transformation cultivator, poured does not dare to look down on. 他方才见魏子宏神意轩昂,大气从容,自有一股潇洒风仪,不似寻常小宗门出身的修士,才欲上来攀交,没想到却是一个无甚名气的宗门修士,索性魏子宏总也是化丹修士,倒也不敢小瞧了。 At this time that female also caught up, Paireau just then pointed was saying: „Daoist Priest Wei, this is my wife.” 这时那女子也是赶了过来,裴洛甫便指着言道:“魏道长,此是内子。” Wei Zihong hit to bow, said: „Originally is Madame Pei, This Poor Daoist greetings.” 魏子宏打了个稽首,道:“原来是裴夫人,贫道有礼。” Madame Pei previously was also looked at Wei Zihong to be uncommon, at this moment heard him to be the nameless sect family background, among the facial expressions then reveals several points of acting with constraint meaning, not the salty not pale innumerable blessings, said: „This Mistress has seen Daoist Priest Wei.” 裴夫人先前也是看魏子宏不凡,此刻听得他乃是无名宗派出身,神情间便露出几分矜持之意,不咸不淡一个万福,道:“妾身见过魏道长了。” Paireau just said with a smile: „Looks at Daoist Priest Wei trip direction, observes and emulates that Sword Battle Daoist Assembly to Bearing Source Valley?” 裴洛甫笑道:“看魏道长此行方向,想必也是去往承源峡观摩那斗剑法会的？” Wei Zihong said: „precisely, This Poor Daoist little goes out, also does not have same sect to follow, therefore all alone journey, has a look at the Succeeding River both banks scenery while convenient, two do, how also walk toward here actually? Is it possible that also makes the general plan?” 魏子宏道:“正是,贫道甚少出门,又无同门相随,因此孤身一人出行,顺便看看成江两岸风光,倒是两位,怎也往此处行走？莫非也是做一般打算？” cultivator to Bearing Source Valley, the mediocre person, along the rivers and streams on, can not know Succeeding River is also circles windingly curved, some ships step onto 78 days canal, traded had to fly to escape the technique, but can pass in the wink of an eye. 修士去往承源峡,不似凡俗之人,非要沿江河而上,要知成江也是曲折绕弯,有些船只走上七八日的水道,换了有飞遁之术的,不过瞬息之间就能过去。 Paireau just smiles bitterly saying: „Also wants to fly to run away with my wife itself below toward that place above, really cannot withstand him to harass.” 裴洛甫苦笑道:“在下与内子本也是想飞遁去往那处只是一路之上,委实不堪其扰啊。” Wei Zihong is very strange, asked in detail, unconsciously suddenly. 魏子宏很是奇怪,详细一问,才不觉恍然。 Originally Pei and his wife also calculate that has the reputation thinly, the period of this moment Sword Battle approaches, to the Bearing Source Valley journey, does not know that many cultivator, the person of knowing well will then come to greet, loose cultivator that this, many have not known from the start climbs the friendship. 原来裴氏夫妇也算薄有名声,此刻斗剑之期临近,去往承源峡的路途中,不知有多少修道之士,熟识之人便会来上来打招呼,这还罢了,还有许多压根不认识的散修上来攀交情。 If person of two people of good, were many were also sick, thinks at this moment rode on the source canyon not to know gathered world many cultivator, feared to there takes one to treat with courtesy, they also thought scalp tingles, thus decided to slow down the foot regulation, the riverside on, the tour world beautiful scenery, rushed to there to Sword Battle the day of simply while convenient again and that's the end. 要是一人二人还好,多了也就厌烦,想到此刻乘源峡上不知汇聚了天下多少修士,到了那里恐又是要一番应酬,他们夫妇二人也觉头皮发麻,因而决定放缓脚程,索性沿江而上,顺便游览人间胜景,到斗剑那一日再赶至那里就是了。 Madame Pei sighed one, said lightly: „Actually also no wonder they, my Straight Source Immortal Mansion is outside Origin Yang Sect the mansion, can be Origin Yang Sect disciple by my couple.” 裴夫人叹了一声,淡淡道:“其实也怪不得他们,我径源仙府乃是元阳派外府,是以我夫妇二人也算得上是元阳派门下。” When she looks said this saying, heard that heard „Origin Yang Sect” three characters, was reveals to envy the color of awe all. 她一望说出这话时,闻者听得“元阳派”三字,无不是露出羡慕敬畏之色。 However at this moment casts aside goes shortly, actually sees Wei Zihong not to have responded really, the look is the half silk fluctuation does not have continually, Madame Pei imitates fights with the fists in the vacancy, some facial color non- natures, at heart is not happy, her beautiful eye revolution, said: „Daoist Priest Wei may know, my Origin Yang Sect this time two same sect that goes Sword Battle, with my family husband in cultivate the dao, in secret the friendship was also excellent.” 然而此刻撇眼看去,却见魏子宏无甚反应,眼神更是连半丝波动也无,裴夫人仿似一拳打在空处,面色有些不自然,心里更是不痛快,她美目一转,又道:“魏道长可知,我元阳派此次前去斗剑的两位同门,与我家夫君原是在一处修道,私下里交情也是极好的。” Wei Zihong hears him to raise the person of Sword Battle, drew out several points of curious heart, thinks that this possibly is the opponent above respected teacher Daoist Assembly, simply said: „But actually must consult, which two Daoist Master this is Origin Yang Sect goes to Daoist Assembly?” 魏子宏听得其提起斗剑之人,起了几分好奇之心,想到这可能是恩师法会之上的对手,便道:“倒要请教,此次元阳派是哪两位真人去得法会？” Madame Pei scoffed at one secretly, said: „Originally does not know the door that seriously where runs disperses the sect, we also look at his one eyes in vain high.” 裴夫人暗嗤了一声,道:“原来当真是不知哪里跑出来的小门散宗,枉我方才还高看他一眼。” Whose resembles each Sect disciple to have Sword Battle, among Profound Sect Ten Schools has circular, so long as some slightly connections, where can not know this grade of matter, therefore hears Wei Zihong such a to ask, she is recognized its did not have background. Therefore the tone is unconsciously is also arrogant, said: „You may listen, my Origin Yang Sect this time goes Sword Battle, is Yang Bi Senior Brother and Zhu Xin Senior Sister, now their couple, but had brought forth life source magic sword respectively.” 似各派弟子出得谁人斗剑,玄门十派之间皆有通传,只要稍微有些关联的,又哪里会不知这等事,因此听得魏子宏这么一问,她已是认定其无甚背景了。因此语气也是不觉矜骄起来,道:“你可听好了,我元阳派此次前去斗剑者,为杨璧师兄与朱欣师姐,如今他们夫妇,可已是各自练出了本命法剑呢。” The Wei Zihong facial expression one, after entering Clear Nether Heaven Lake, although Zhang Yan has not always taught him anything, but Eldest Senior Sister Liu Yanyi actually directs in him frequently. 魏子宏不由神情一微,入了昭幽天池之后,虽张衍从来未曾教过他什么,但大师姐刘雁依却经常指点于他。 He had once heard, if Origin Yang Sect disciple unites thousand sword Refining, record/native place sword plate realizes life source magic sword Metal Qi again, its strength must increase. 他曾听说过,元阳派弟子若把千剑炼化合一,再籍剑盘将金气练成本命法剑,其战力必是大增。 This magic sword can change in the actual situation, has teleportation to fly to empty the energy, but may also lay out trapped/sleepy enemy sword array in the moment, practice this grade of position, even can still fight one to fight with Lacking Purity disciple, before was only over the past several hundred years, in Origin Yang Sect realized this person of law to be very few, cannot think that this had/left two unexpectedly one time. 此法剑能在虚实之间变化,更有挪移飞空之能,还可在须臾之间布下困敌剑阵,练到这等境地,就算与少清弟子也能斗上一斗了,只是过去数百年前,元阳派中练成此法之人少之又少,想不到今次竟一次出了两个。 And he also noticed especially, Yang Bi and Zhu Xin two people are pair of Dao Companion, if according to the Origin Yang Sect consistent conduct, the uncertain two people also practices what bystander the law of cooperation jointly attacking is hard to estimate. 且他还格外留意到,杨璧与朱欣二人似是一对道侣,若按元阳派的一贯做派,不定二人还练有什么外人难以揣度的互助合击之法。 Paireau just drew the sleeves of Madame Rappe at this time, causes several meaningful glances continually, hinted her do not talk too much again. 裴洛甫这时拉了拉裴夫人的衣袖,连使几个眼色,示意她不要再多言了。 He also understands the temper that own madame likes showing off, may actually not say so many before the bystander. 他也明白自家夫人爱卖弄的性子,可在外人面前却不该说这么多。 Especially Origin Yang Sect said to the outside, was said that a Yang Bi person exercised life source magic sword, just now the words actually divulged the ins and outs, Madame Pei actually somewhat thought otherwise. 尤其是元阳派对外所言,也不过是说杨璧一人练就本命法剑而已,方才一番话却是泄露了老底,裴夫人却有些不以为然。 She thinks that even informed Wei Zihong, how can loose cultivator? What fearing is life source magic sword does not even know that is what? 她认为就算告知了魏子宏,一个散修又能如何？恐是连本命法剑为何物都不知道是什么吧？ In the Wei Zihong surface maintains composure, in the heart is actually secretly thought: „When saw the life of respected teacher, when must try saying that knows with him.” 魏子宏面上不动声色,心中却是暗道:“待见了恩师之命,当要设法说与他知晓。” He is just thinking, suddenly, beyond the small boat left side dozens zhang (3.33 m), there is escape light together to paste the water surface to go to flies westward. 他正想着,忽然间,小舟左侧数十丈外,有一道遁光贴着水面向西飞去。 When this person flies, not only exudes rumble the sound of thunderclap, shakes to swing leaf Dong, the cross-strait startled bird flies randomly, but also raises several feet high water spray, pats toward the small boat. 此人飞去之时,不但发出隆隆霹雳之声,震得枝摇叶动,两岸惊鸟乱飞,还掀起数丈高的水浪,往小舟拍来。 Paireau just responded is extremely quick, drank one, opened mouth to put out light smoke, resisted the water spray, pressed. 裴洛甫反应极快,喝了一声,张嘴吐出一股青烟,将水浪抵住,压了下去。 Wei Zihong looked at that escape light, selected the eyebrow. 魏子宏看了一眼那遁光,不禁挑了挑眉毛。 cultivator flies vertical to plunder also there is no in broad daylight spatially, resembling just now the Pei couple is also so, but this person causes so the momentum intentionally, had the suspicion of stirring up trouble. 修士大白天飞空纵掠倒也没什么,似适才裴氏夫妇二人也是如此,可这人故意弄出如此声势,却有惹事之嫌了。 Where Madame Pei can bear this, looked at that escape light one bitterly, approved one ruthlessly, said: „Is mound Zhixin, snort/hum, this boy depends the Daoist Qiu given name to stir up trouble repeatedly everywhere, the conduct is so unscrupulous, is really in vain for my Profound Sect disciple.” 裴夫人哪受得了这个,恨恨看了那遁光一眼,狠批了一句,道:“又是丘志薪,哼,这小子屡次仗着丘真人名号到处惹事,行事这般肆无忌惮,真是枉为我玄门弟子。” Her here complained, Paireau just a brow wrinkle, pulled the madame sleeves, said in a low voice: „You little said two.” 她这里抱怨了一句,裴洛甫眉头一皱,扯了扯自家夫人衣袖,低声道:“你少说两句吧。” Who would have thought this saying said is late, that humanities have also paid attention to listen attentively, hear this language, then hey however smiled, folded escape light, from found out in the clouds. 哪知这话说得已是迟了,那人本也是一直留神倾听,闻得此语,便嘿然一笑,把遁光折了回来,从云中探出首来。 This person of eyebrow is short, the big nose small lip, keeps two to cast aside the mouse to, although the facial expression is average, but in the foreheads is actually arrogant, his holding down waist magic sword, said pretentiously: „I said that is who chews the root of the tongue in behind randomly, originally was the virtuous couple here, is it possible that previous time to lose compared with the sword was not convinced, but also wanted to fight with me?”, Wei Zihong just asked to Paireau: „This is Fellow Daoist Qiu also your home disciple?” 此人眉毛短短,大鼻小唇,留着两撇鼠须,貌相虽是平平,可眉宇间却是傲气十足,他按住腰间法剑,拿腔拿调地说道:“我道是谁在后面乱嚼舌根,原来是贤伉俪在此,莫非上次比剑输了不服气,还欲与我一斗么？”,魏子宏向裴洛甫问道:“这位丘道友亦是贵门弟子么？” Does not need Paireau just to open the mouth, Madame Pei ridiculed in a tone with inserts said: „Fellow Daoist Wei you actually must listen, this mound remembers firewood Daoist Priest, but is extraordinary, he was surnamed Jin, afterward did obeisance my Sect Daoist Qiu to be the adoptive father, changed the surname of ancestor shameless, mentioned reluctantly, was considered as is my Sect disciple.” 不待裴洛甫开口,裴夫人就语带嘲弄地插言道:“魏道友你却要听好了,这位丘志薪道长可是了不得呢,他原先姓金,后来拜了我派丘真人做了义父,就恬不知耻改了祖宗之姓,勉强说来,也算得是我派弟子吧。” mound Zhixin and Pei and his wife two people this have the discord, at this time was uncovered the ins and outs face to face, immediately becomes angry out of shame, cannot repress again, in the hand one pinches finger joints with the thumb, branches out two ray dazzling gold/metal swords, rushes to Paireau just to go together, rushes to Wei Zihong to go together. 丘志薪与裴氏夫妇二人本有龃龉,此时被人当面揭了老底,顿时恼羞成怒,再也按捺不住,手上一去掐诀,分出两把光芒耀眼的金剑,一道奔着裴洛甫去,一道奔着魏子宏而去。 He is thinking three people, since goes the same way the line, feared that is always somewhat the friendship, since begins, that then who strikes the first blow has the advantage, so as to avoid being passive. 他想着三人既然同路而行,怕是总有几分交情,既然动了手,那便先下手为强,免得被动。 When Wei Zihong cultivate the dao, was near on the Demon Tribulation day, the ominous danger, to never go out to seek the medicine everywhere, this time was still the head returned to leave the mountain, saw some person and begins, was not only not angry, the counter- sleep/felt roused, he shook the sleeve, put a smoke ghost to come out. 魏子宏修道之时,正逢魔劫日近,遍地凶危,是以从未出外寻过药,此次尚是头回出山,见有人与自己动手,非但不恼,反觉振奋,他把袖一抖,就放了一道烟煞出来。 But he after all just now Forming Core / Pill Success, does not know own skill how much, therefore acts, almost put forth the full power. 可他毕竟方才成丹,又不知自家本事几何,因此一出手,就几乎使出了全力。 He is the person of Core Accomplishment Third Grade, the smoke ghost is vigorous huge, but sees width have several ten zhang (3.33 m) smoke cloud loudly horizontal more than half river water, tilts the raging tide, shattered a piece the ashore willow, when the water tide sheds completely, then has not known where magic sword. 他乃是丹成三品之人,烟煞何等雄浑庞大,但见一股宽有数十丈的烟云轰然横过半条江水,掀动狂澜,将岸上杨柳冲垮了一片,待水潮褪尽时,那把法剑早已是不知去了何处了。 ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
