After Daoist Chu returns to the mountain, immediately sees Zhang Yan, the inform trip process. 楚道人回山之后,立刻去见张衍,禀明此行经过。 Zhang Yan praised: „Junior Brother Chu does good, actually must consult, what origin that is Absolute Transformation Sect?” 张衍赞道:“楚师弟做得甚好,却要请教,那胥易门又是什么来历？” Daoist Chu said: „Absolute Transformation Sect Sect Master Sun Tong also has Core Transformation cultivation base, this person and Yong Fu disciple Bai Jiying friendship is quite deep, Palace Master feared they do have what arrangement? Can need me first to nose?” 楚道人言道:“胥易门掌门孙童也有化丹修为,此人与雍复弟子白季婴交情颇深,府主可是怕他们有何布置？可需我先去查探一番？” Zhang Yan said with a smile: „No need, this time I can go together with Fellow Daoist Zhang.” 张衍笑道:“不必,此番我会与章道友同去。” Daoist Chu felt relieved immediately, two Nascent Soul cultivator, in this Divine Shelter Mountain have nothing can with the person of it contending, even if the opposite party plays tricks, does not need to fear, but has not forgotten to remind: „Daoist Master Yong have a wide circle of acquaintances, in the hand does not lack is difficult to deal with magical treasure, Palace Master was careful.” 楚道人立时放下心来,两名元婴修士,这神屋山中还无有能与之抗衡之人,就算对方弄鬼,也不用惧怕,可还不忘提醒道:“雍真人交游广阔,手中又不缺厉害法宝,府主需小心了。” Zhang Bayan actually exuded one to sneer at this time, resembles disdains very much, Daoist Chu looks puzzled. 章伯彦这时却发出了一声冷笑,似很是不屑,楚道人不解看去。 Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Bayan, said with a smile: „What Junior Brother Chu reminder is, I will be careful.” 张衍看了一眼章伯彦,笑道:“楚师弟提醒的是,我自会小心。” Zhang Yan must keep an appointment tomorrow, uncertain can also fight with Yong Fu, Daoist Chu does not dare to remain, when are not many takes one's leave, the footsteps returned to immortal cave with ease. 张衍明日要去赴约,不定还会与雍复交手,楚道人不敢多留,不多时就拜别出来,脚步轻松回了洞府。 He first takes out the cultivation technique secret that Zhang Yan bestows, delivers to Zhao Ge and in Daoist Wen immortal cave respectively, these two people resulted in cultivation technique, is likes extremely, although Daoist Chu is also similarly joyful, satisfying somewhat loses unavoidably. 他先是将张衍赐下的功法要诀取出,分别送至赵革与温道人洞府中,这二人得了功法,俱是欢喜万分,楚道人虽也是同样欣喜,可心中还是难免有几分失落。 After transferring came out, he matter of Zhang Yan confession one by one will previously arrange, calls disciple again, asked: „Can Zhongyuan once come back?” 转了出来之后,他将先前张衍交代之事逐个安排下去,再唤来一名弟子,问道:“仲元可曾回来？” That disciple said: „disciple defended on the 1st before Mountain Sect / Gate, does not see Martial Uncle Gao to come back.” 那弟子言道:“徒儿在山门前守了一日,也不见高师叔回来。” The Daoist Chu brow wrinkles, in the heart perceived that several points are wonderful. 楚道人眉头皱起,心中觉察出几分妙来。 At this time actually saw disciple to run over flustered, is away from then to yell far away: „Master, is not good, is not good, that three dark green vermilion Youshu does not know that was cut one to go by.” 这时却见一名弟子慌慌张张跑了过来,隔着老远便大叫道:“师父,不好了,不好了,那三株苍朱幼树不知被谁人砍了一株去。” „What?” “什么？” The Daoist Chu heart thump, the facial color becomes extremely unattractive, that three Azure Vermilion Tree are Gao Zhongyuan was then responsible for guarding, at this moment has problems, the person the disappearing trace, did not need to want also to know is it embezzles. 楚道人心头咯噔一下,面色变得极不好看,那三株苍朱木原先便是高仲元负责看守,此刻出了问题,人又不见了影踪,不用多想也知是其监守自盗了。 He entrained the beard, beckons to call two people to, said solemnly: „This matter your two people can not discuss absurdly, if there is divulging, I am held responsible with you.” 他拽了拽胡须,招手把两人唤至跟前,沉声道:“此事你二人不得妄议,若有泄露,我拿你们是问。” Two disciple see Daoist Chu is so severe rare, is flutters should , said: „disciple is compliant.” 两名弟子少有见楚道人这般严厉,俱是颤声应下,道:“徒儿遵命。” Daoist Chu shakes the head, returns to oneself immortal cave, the ear bank heard the sound of footsteps to be light, later the body leans a warm tender body, is actually a beautiful appearance enchanting female, seeing his look is not right, the concern asked: „Master, why over the face anxiety? This Mistress heard came Sect Master newly, was not good to you?” 楚道人摇了摇头,回了自家洞府,耳畔听得脚步声轻起,随后身侧上来一具温热娇躯,却是一名美貌妖娆的女子,见他神色不对,关切问道:“老爷,为何满面愁苦？妾身听闻新来了一名掌门,可是对你不好么？” Daoist Chu shakes the head saying: „Senior Brother Zhang cultivation base is profound, treats people genially, is the person of Master Shen settling on, wins my hundred times, having him makes Sect Master that is best, but, is only......” 楚道人摇头道:“张师兄修为高深,又待人和善,还是得沈师看中之人,胜我百倍,有他来做掌门那是最好不过,只是……” He a Gao Zhongyuan human affairs saying, sighed: „Has not thought that this person unexpectedly is in the thief, I wait him to kiss such as the child nephew in vain, that Azure Vermilion Tree felling was not easy, fears all takes today went, I think now carefully, this person had the unusual form actually early, only hated me old with dim eyes, not detect(ed), tomorrow after when Sect Master Senior Brother will keep an appointment, I then apologized to him.” 他将高仲元一世事一说,叹道:“未想到此人竟是内贼,枉我待他亲如子侄,要不是那苍朱木砍伐不易,恐今日就全取了去了,我如今细细思来,此人实则早有异状,只恨我老眼昏花,不曾察觉,明日待掌门师兄赴约回来后,我便向他请罪。” The female builds his shoulder, supple sound said: „Master must rebuke oneself not, you in the matter for the gate work hard for 200 years, unavoidably has the place of negligence, about was short of a sapling, is not the important matter.” 那女子上来搭住他肩膀,柔声道:“老爷莫要自责,你为门内之事操劳两百载,难免有疏忽之处,左右不过是少了一株幼树罢了,又不是什么大事。” The Daoist Chu forced smile said: „You do not understand, Azure Vermilion Tree does not compare other, even if these three still young, may want the value not poor, was short of one, how Sect Master that immortal cave to construct?” 楚道人苦笑道:“你不懂,苍朱木可不比其他,这三株哪怕尚幼,可要价值不菲,少了一株,掌门那洞府如何兴建得起来？” The female urged: „Sect Master is not only the generous person, will not blame Master.” 那女子劝道:“掌门既是宽厚之人,想必也不会怪责老爷的。” Daoist Chu sighed one, said: „Let us hope so.” 楚道人叹了一声,道:“但愿如此吧。” Next morning, Zhang Yan and Zhang Bayan under an numerous disciple eye of note, harness vast Astral Wind, speeds along to go loudly, then dissipates in a flash in the horizon. These disciple have never seen the Nascent Soul cultivator power and prestige, all looks dazzling and intoxicating. 次日一早,张衍与章伯彦在一众弟子目注之下,驾起浩浩罡风,轰然飞驰而去,转瞬间便消逝在天际之中。这些弟子从未见过元婴修士的威风,个个看得目眩神迷。 Daoist Wen is more excited, said: „Palace Master cultivation is so profound, there is Daoist Master Zhang to assist, the trip surely is worry-free.” 温道人更是激动,道:“府主道行如此高深,又有章真人相助,此行定是无忧。” That side Zhao Ge also nods unceasingly, in the eye shows the happy color, he resulted in cultivation technique yesterday, a cultivation evening, actually discovery by far usually, if according to so cultivation gets down, in less than ten years, he may break open Carapace Shedding, promote entered 2-layer Realm. 那边赵革也不断点头,眼中透出高兴之色,他昨日得了功法,修行一晚,却发现远胜平日,若照这般修持下去,用不了十年,他就可破开壳关了,晋入二重境界了。 Only has Daoist Chu is in the heart has the matter, shows several points of smiling face reluctantly. 唯有楚道人似是心中有事,勉强露出几分笑容。 Zhang Yan and Zhang Bayan two people of escaping fast incredibly fast, the little while is less, then before Iron Weapon Mountain. 张衍与章伯彦二人遁速奇快,半刻不到,便到了铁兵山前。 Zhang Yan looks under, sees in mountain range that the snow white white snow piles up with, actually valley land of fine spring day, inlays like a green bead in that place, he is also under the heart expresses admiration, points was saying: „That was Suxing Valley.” 张衍看着下方,见皑皑白雪堆满的山峦之中,却有一处鸟语花香的谷地,恰如一枚绿珠嵌在那处,他也是心下称奇,指着言道:“想必那就是宿星谷了。” Two people all are the experienced generations, after gathering round this valley transferred one, confirmed there is nothing what array restrictive seal, this goes to the whereabouts, stands firm on a big stone. Here due east direction facing valley entrance, the back is a slabstone wall, the under foot small stream flows, as far as eyes can reach, in the valley the scenery gets a panoramic view. 两人俱是老练之辈,围着此谷转了一圈之后,确认无有什么阵法禁制,这才向下落去,在一处大石上站定。这里正东方向面对谷口,背后则是一片石壁,脚下小溪流淌,一眼望去,谷内景物尽收眼底。 When are not many, then sees Astral Wind to fly together, then lowers slowly, falls on not far away, walks three people. When first a person goes against have one group of Astral Cloud to sway, the facial expression is extremely elegant, beautiful fine beard hangs the chest, the behavior is natural, as if not present two Nascent Soul cultivator to be astonished for the front, leisurely strolls, is bowing to two people said: „Two Fellow Daoist greetings.” 等不多时,便见一道罡风飞来,而后缓缓降下,落在不远处,走出来三个人。当先一人顶上有一团罡云飘摇,貌相极雅,一把美髯垂胸,行止潇洒,似乎丝毫不为面前出现两名元婴修士而惊异,信步走来,对着两人稽首道:“两位道友有礼。” Zhang Yan also a ritual, said: „But Fellow Daoist Yong?” 张衍还了一礼,道:“可是雍道友么？” Yong Fu said with a smile: „precisely below, hears Sect Master Zhang to summon, keeps an appointment especially.” 雍复笑道:“正是在下,听闻张掌门相召,特来赴约。” Although he is looks to happily chat as usual, but heart is actually passing an anxiety, two Nascent Soul cultivator here, particularly Zhang Yan, Summit Astral Cloud two solid one empty, clearly also misses one step to enter in the Nascent Soul 2-layer boundary, he also deeply feels the pressure, must do intentionally calmly. 他虽是看去言笑如常,但心底却是透着一股紧张,两名元婴修士在此,尤其是张衍,顶上罡云两实一虚,分明还差一步便可入得元婴二重境中,他也是深感压力,只得故作从容。 Zhang Yan shows a faint smile, puts out a hand a finger/refers, then the thing departs, brilliance flashes through together, on the flat land then appears a fine pavilion, the inside room cups furniture are complete, his hand extends, said: „Daoist Master Yong, please.” 张衍微微一笑,伸手一指,便有一物飞出,一道光华闪过,平地上便现出一座精致凉亭来,里间杯盏桌椅俱全,他手一伸,道:“雍真人,请。” In the Yong Fu surface looks calm, said requested verbally, two people took a step together into the pavilion. 雍复面上看去波澜不惊,也是说了声请,两人一起迈步入亭。 After two people salute again, then sits well respectively, Yong Fu first opens the mouth saying: „Has not congratulated Fellow Daoist to take over Containing Depths Sect Sect Master.” 两人再次施礼之后,便各自坐定,雍复先开口道:“还未恭贺道友接任涵渊派掌门。” He takes out a jade chest from the sleeve, the heavy swayed on the stone table, „mountains and plains cultivator, cannot prepare what generous gift, only one box of amber Astral Flower, but also looks at Daoist Zhang do not laugh.” 他从袖中取出一只玉匣,沉沉摆在石桌上,“山野修士,备不得什么厚礼,只一盒琥珀罡英,还望张真人不要笑话。” Zhang Yan smiles lightly, said: „Ritual was heavy.” 张衍淡淡一笑,道:“礼重了。” Amber Astral Flower is quite scarce, to Nascent Soul cultivator, is the rare thing, trades to be others here, has moved the color happily, but Zhang Yan is an exception, he has Great Yang Essence Qi in the body, does not regard as important this thing. 琥珀罡英极为稀少,对元婴修士而言,也是难得之物,换做他人在此,早已喜动颜色,可张衍偏偏是个例外,他有钧阳精气在身,自是不怎么看重此物。 Yong Fu watches a person's every mood, sees his facial expression to fluctuate unexpectedly slightly does not have, regardless of it whether fakes, can explain that this person is not good to cope. 雍复察言观色,见他神情竟是丝毫波动也无,不论其是否作伪,都能说明此人不好对付。 Zhang Yan with not discussing his matter, but urges to drink to have a drink together, said some anecdote amusing things. 张衍也不与谈他事,只是劝酒对饮,说些逸闻趣事。 Yong Fu is also should repeatedly with, roughly after one double-hour, he cannot repress finally, asks: „Does not know that Fellow Daoist Zhang approximately comes below, behavior what matter?” 雍复也是频频应和,约莫一个时辰之后,他终于按捺不住,问道:“不知张道友约在下前来,所为何事？” Zhang Yan smiles, puts down the wine glass, frank said: „Does not have him, only wants to fight with the Fellow Daoist Yong gambling.” 张衍笑了一笑,将酒杯放下,坦言道:“无他,只想与雍道友赌斗一番。” Yong Fu did not ask the reason, only asked: „How to bet to fight?” 雍复不问原由,只问:“如何赌斗？” Zhang Yan said lightly: „I want to spar with Fellow Daoist, if This Poor Daoist won by luck, but also asked Fellow Daoist to give away Immortal City to wield.” 张衍淡淡言道:“我欲与道友斗法一场,若是贫道侥幸胜了,还请道友让出仙城执掌。” He previously when Western Crossing Sea, but also is not deep to the Immortal City feeling, however, warm and the others one talked with clear/pain, knew this reality is place of various sect life. 他先前在西济海界时,还对仙城感受不深,然而与楚、温等人一番谈话下来,才知此实是诸派命脉之所在。 Eastern Victory Continent sect many like stars, so long as there is Immortal City to exist, is Mountain Sect / Gate is broken, so long as cultivator does not perish, changes a place as before to stand again ; But once Immortal City in boundary but actually, school flowing stars and scattered clouds that attaches to its existence innumerably , there is nothing the great sect support immediately, gave up any idea of that replies Origin Energy again. 东胜洲宗门多如繁星,只要有仙城存在,就是山门被人打破,只要修士不亡,换个地方依旧可以重立;可一旦地界上的仙城倒了,无数依附于其存在的门派便就星流云散,无有大门大派支持,休想再回复元气。 Is just like that Immortal Gathering Sect, originally in Northern Grinding Sea also Immortal City, since was occupied after by that Monster Cultivator went, causing in the sea all Human Cultivator sect again unable to base, finally flees and becomes separated. 好比那仙罗派,原先在北摩海界亦有一座仙城,自被那部妖修占了去后,致使海中所有人修宗门再也无法立足,最后逃散一空。 In Eastern Victory Continent, weighs a school of strength, then how much is looks at Immortal City, resembles Divine Shelter Mountain toward Great Chu Country of south, hears holds more than 30 Immortal City. 东胜洲中,衡量一派实力,便是看仙城多寡,似神屋山往南的大楚国,听闻就占有三十余座仙城。 Divine Shelter Mountain also Immortal City, Shen Baishuang , is wields by it, since he goes, takes over by cultivation base highest Yong Fu. 神屋山亦有一座仙城,沈柏霜在时,便是由其执掌,自他去后,又由修为最高的雍复接掌。 The so important institute, Zhang Yan decides must hold in the handshake. 如此重要之所,张衍定是要掌握手中的。 Lofty Mountain Sect may be different at the present Containing Depths Sect, the foundation did not say deeply, Mountain Sect / Gate Restriction Array is extremely sturdy, above Immortal City is also the arrange/cloth has defense great array, easily cannot break through, if spells hardly, is extremely time-consuming strenuous. 只是峨山派可不同于而今的涵渊派,根底深厚不说,山门禁阵极是牢靠,仙城之上也是布有守御大阵,不是轻易可以攻破,若是硬拼起来,极是耗时费力。 But his goal was to operate Mountain Sect / Gate, made cultivation more convenient while convenient, is not willing to do the reign of terror, such as can through betting the fight of opposite party hands over voluntarily, that was best. 而他之目的是要把山门经营好了,顺带使得自己修行更为方便,自是不愿搞得腥风血雨,如是能通过赌斗对方自愿交出,那是最好不过。 Yong Fu hears his goal, in the heart actually to sink, sound also strong several points, said firmly: „If his matter, how I then remise Fellow Daoist, but this Immortal City, in matter gate various disciple, I actually am half step do not make concessions, being probable have to fight over a struggle with Fellow Daoist, if Fellow Daoist lost, how works as?” 雍复听得他的目的,心中却是一沉,声音也强硬了几分,坚定道:“若是他事,我便让与道友又如何,可这仙城,事涉门内诸弟子,我却是半步退让不得,少不得要与道友争上一争,不过若是道友输了,又当如何？” Zhang Yan said with a smile: „If This Poor Daoist lost, within ten years, my two people of let your sect direct, how does Fellow Daoist think?” 张衍笑道:“若是贫道输了,十年之内,我二人听凭贵派使唤,道友以为如何？” Yong Fu both eyes shine, if can result in two Nascent Soul daoist to work for ten years for oneself, what that Immortal City was considered as?? 雍复双目放光,若能得两名元婴道人为自己做事十年,那一座仙城又算得了什么？？ He also has the resolution, immediately on evil ways: „Good, that this Eminence receives this to make, but the sparring custom actually must change to change.” 他也是有决断的,当即应下道:“好,那本座就接下此约,不过斗法规矩却需改上一改。” Zhang Yan said: „How does Fellow Daoist think should?” 张衍道:“道友以为该如何？” Yong Fu stretches out three fingers, said: „I and Fellow Daoist in a day spar three, two winners are the winners.” 雍复伸出三根手指,道:“我与道友一日之内斗法三场,两胜者为赢家。” Zhang Yan changes mind slightly, the nod said: „Then according to Fellow Daoist.” 张衍略微一转念,点头道:“便依道友。” Yong Fu is staring at Zhang Yan, said: „This time spars, when spreads to invite in Divine Shelter Mountain Fellow Daoists observing and emulating, to do to witness.” 雍复盯着张衍,又道:“此次斗法,当遍请神屋山界中诸位道友观摩,以作见证。” Zhang Yan nods to say with a smile: „By rights ought to so.” 张衍点首笑道:“理当如此。” Yong Fu said: „Settled!” 雍复道:“就此说定！” After two people approximately combative law date and time, claps for the oath again, after this drank to heart's content, departs immediately respectively. 两人约好斗法时日之后,再击掌为誓,在此又痛饮了一番后,便就各自离去。 On the way of Yong Fu returns, his disciple cannot bear ask: „Master, you may have confidence that wins that person?” 雍复回返途中,他身旁弟子忍不住问道:“师父,你可有把握胜得那人？” Yong Fu pondered a while, said with a smile: „Has not compared, how can know, this person of cultivation works as above master, view its imposing manner, thinks that the energy of sparring is also not bad. However if your Eldest Senior Brother can borrow that treasure, that then had the odds of success greatly.” 雍复沉思了一会儿,笑道:“还未比过,怎能知晓,这人道行当在为师之上,观其气势,想来斗法之能也是不差。不过若你大师兄能借来那件宝贝,那便大有胜算了。” ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
