Third , in February/two months 2 nd. 三曰后,二月初二。 Hopeful Sound Mountain, spatial auspicious clouds, the artificial flower with gold-foil spreads to sprinkle completely, more than thousand colored clothing female attendant, the lucky robe ritual officer's respectfully guest before the Daoist temple. 希声山,满空祥云,金花遍洒,千余名彩衣女侍,福袍礼官在宫观之前敬候宾客。 In the mountain has gone toward saying Zheshan restrictive seal, in the indistinct mist, sets up one to have thousand ancient measures of length big stages high, the Golden Light ten thousand zhang (3.33 m), the flowing light bright color, this name calls golden bell, to Sect Founder gather the institute of feast in years past, is the origin of Bell Platform Sect name. 山中早已去了往曰遮山禁制,飘渺雾气之中,立有一座高有千仞的大台,金光万丈,流光焕彩,此台名唤金钟,为昔年开派祖师聚宴之所,即是锺台派名称之由来。 Since its Second Generation Sect Master holds the Sect Master household, then excavates the lake under the stage, named raises the fluid, the greatly ten thousand area units, in the lake accumulate the stone pile mound, three mountains, were divided into Yingyang, the happy carp and Ze auspicious, the Three Mountains link under gold/metal Bell Platform, appears the shape of worship, and with the jade bridge sewn-up bag, becomes Bell Platform mutually „gold mountain sleek/moist water, white Cauldron looks down at mountain” Atmosphere. 自其二代掌门执掌门户后,便在台下掘土开湖,名为养液,大有万顷,湖中积石堆丘,起了三座高山,分为迎阳、喜鲤、泽瑞,三山环于金锺台下,呈朝拜之状,并互以玉桥搭连,方成锺台“金山润水,白鼎瞰岳”之气象。 Zhang Yan one line of five people while flying boat, but, bends down to look to look at this moment, sees below Cui Lake to collect the rosy cloud, the copper palace condenses, pavilion Shuiqiao, the flexure surrounds, a school of beautiful scenery is infinite. 张衍一行五人是乘飞舟而至,此刻俯望看去,见下方翠湖敛霞,铜殿聚光,亭台水桥,屈曲环绕,一派胜景无限。 lame daoist looked, sighed: „Only looks at this vice- Jing appearance, who can think in the Bell Platform gate is Origin Energy damages severely, already present is worse than the past.” 跛足道人看了下来,感叹道:“只看这副景貌,谁能想到锺台门内已是元气大伤,早已今不如昔了。” Song Chuyuan to the Bell Platform Sect no other favorable impression, snort/hum, said with a sneer: „Is returns to consciousness just before dying.” 宋初远对锺台派别无好感,哼了一声,冷笑道:“不过是回光返照罢了。” Below white light flashes, has Bell Platform disciple to come up, said submissively: „May I ask the honored guest paradise?” 下方白光一闪,有锺台弟子上来,拱手道:“敢问尊客仙乡？” Zhao Yang puts out the invitation from the bosom in a flash, that disciple looks, said respectfully: „Is Sect Master Zhang that Divine Shelter comes, please along in.” 赵阳自怀中拿出请柬一晃,那名弟子一望,恭敬道:“原是神屋来的张掌门,请随在下来。” This person of feasting, has the qualifications to sit in entering gold/metal Bell Platform, is Nascent Soul expert, many come this's low generation of sect disciple together, can only go to Three Mountains to banquet, but this disciple looked that side Zhang Yan had Zhao Yang one to serve, to pour has not said anything. 此来赴宴之人,有资格坐于入得金锺台的,皆是元婴高人,许多一同来此的低辈门人弟子,只能去三山之中饮宴,不过这弟子看张衍身旁只得赵阳一个侍奉,倒也不曾说些什么。 Bell Platform disciple are the Chu Country emperor's family emperor's relatives, extremely heavy high and low high, even the coming to power pavilion, still according to the position status delimited the seat, according to the high, middle, and low three palaces sits separately. 锺台弟子多是楚国皇亲贵戚,极重尊卑高下,即便上了台阁,也按地位身份划了席次,按上中下三殿分座。 In three palaces, takes 36 jade steps as to separate, is on good terms with Bell Platform Sect , the strength excellent generation, the side was revered the supreme palace. 三殿之间,以三十六层玉阶为隔,只有与锺台派交好,又实力过人之辈,方被尊至上殿。 To Bell Platform, the Zhang Yan reputation does not reveal at this moment, because of looking at cultivation base is deep, is a school of palm, in five people have four people are Nascent Soul cultivation base, although does not come from what famous mountains immortal cave, under that disciple does not dare secure its to go to the palace, but please sit to the nave. 对锺台而言,张衍此刻还是名声不显,但因望去修为深厚,又为一派之掌,五人之中有四人是元婴修为,虽不是自什么名山洞府而来,那名弟子也不敢安其去下殿,而是请至中殿坐了。 After taking a seat, about Zhang Yan sweeps, seeing Main Hall is extremely broad, the field of vision is unimpeded, takes in everything at a glance, sits in this place, but remote sees in the far mountain the pear flower to fall numerously, the jade rain floating cotton wool, peach forest Fenzhuang, the belt/bring is spring happy, is it may be said that too beautiful to behold. 入席之后,张衍左右一扫,见大殿极是宽阔,视野无阻,一览无余,坐于此地,可遥见远山之中梨花纷落,玉雨飘絮,桃林粉妆,阳春带喜,可谓美不胜收。 His vision revolution, looks again toward the seat on, in sitting, can Nascent Soul 2-layer boundary only him, on but in the palace, sits 23 people similar to his cultivation base actually, possibly arrives at Nascent Soul 3-layer, is one does not have. 他再目光一转,往席上看去,此间在坐者,能至元婴二重境只他一人,而上殿之中,倒是坐有二三人与他修为相仿,可能到得元婴三重者,却是一个也无。 In Eastern Victory Continent, except great sect disciple, can cultivate/repair to Nascent Soul Realm actual is not easy, when many cultivator enter this boundary the age is big, goes again upward, increases some cultivation , there is nothing huge Destiny, is life-long hopeless to sneak a peek at the secret of Heavenly Cave, on enjoys the amusement demeanor satisfiedly, does not have the heart of endeavor again. 实际在东胜洲中,除却大派弟子,能修至元婴境已是不易,许多修士入得此境时寿数已是不小,再往上去,也不过是增些道行而已,无有天大机缘,终生无望窥见洞天之秘,也就心安理得享娱声色,再无奋进之心。 When his line of sight, in two people close to one is to also look just in time, seeing his cultivation is profound, the look slightly changes, busy is sideways slightly, for is the ritual, Zhang Yan shows a faint smile submissively, was the hand also a ritual. 他视线经过时,正巧临近一席上二人也是看过来,见他道行高深,神色不由微微一变,忙是稍稍侧身,拱手为为礼,张衍微微一笑,也是起手还了一礼。 At this time he remembered the incident suddenly, toward sitting in close by Song Yuanchu said: „Can here have Fellow Daoist Song same sect in this?” 这时他忽然想起一事,朝着坐在旁处的宋远初道:“此处可有宋道友同门在此？” Song Chuyuan looked at several, small sound said: „Two, but is actually the enemy.” He aims at one secretly, said: „Then is that two people.” 宋初远瞧了几眼,小声道:“是有两个,不过却是仇家。”他暗暗指向一处,道:“便是那二人。” Zhang Yan along its shows to look, sees is separated by far of hundred zhang (333 m) with him, sits two attire strange daoist, person of beard is gray, the skin color is ruddy, like the baby, has the air/Qi of dust delicately, but another person of facial expression withered, the eyebrow hangs to the cheek, the mouth thin nose, the look is ugly. 张衍顺其所示看去,见与他相隔百丈之远,坐着两名装束奇异的道人,一人胡须花白,肤色红润,细嫩有如婴儿,有出尘之气,而另一人脸容枯槁,眉垂至颊,嘴瘪塌鼻,相貌丑陋。 The Song Chuyuan sound of talking took hatred, said: „That person of white hair calls makes Yang Fengxiao, taught Elder, that looks at the age slightly young named the ancient great hall, is he with lineage/vein Junior Brother, in the past when this gate three schools besieged, these two people actually do not worry about Master Sect to have difficult, first step slid did not say, then same sect came to seek help, instead also got angry to quarrel, my master had also been plotted against by this two people.” 宋初远语声带上了一点恨意,道:“白发的那人唤做杨奉霄,原是教中长老,那名看去年纪稍轻的名叫古宏堂,是他同脉师弟,当年本门遭三派围攻时,这二人却是丝毫不顾念师门有难,先一步溜了不说,而后同门上门求助,反而还翻脸相向,我师父也是遭过此二人暗算。” Zhang Yan nods, said: „If Fellow Daoist cannot seek to hand down the person of secret book for a while, does not need anxiously for a while.” 张衍点了点头,道:“若是道友一时寻不得传下密册之人,也不必急在一时。” Song Chuyuan is willing to turn to Zhang Yan initially, but to have toward said can give same sect Master Sect secret technique, in order to avoid lost Dao Lineage, but only took for 16 years as the contract date at that time, is feared extremely Zhang Yan took his life to go, at this time he hesitated, suddenly bent down to do obeisance, said: „Daoist Zhang , if not shut out, lowly one would rather take the strength of lifetime to devote life to as Daoist Master.” 宋初远当初愿意投靠张衍,只是为了有朝一曰能把师门秘法交给同门,以免失了道统,但当时只以十六年为约期,极是怕张衍取了他姓命去,这时他迟疑了一下,忽然俯身一拜,道:“张真人若不嫌弃,小人情愿以毕生之力为真人效命。” Zhang Yan is not accidental/surprised, smiles, the nod said: „Fellow Daoist Song Bing pure and good-hearted, since is willing to enter my in sect, This Poor Daoist precisely wishes for earnestly.” 张衍毫不意外,笑了一笑,点头道:“宋道友秉姓纯良,既是愿意入我门中,贫道正是求之不得。” Song Chuyuan hears this language, only thinks that heart one light, as if said the shackles that take off, was serious bows with hands clasped, goes back to sit, later took up a wine glass respect, drank from face upwards Bo. 宋初远听到此语,只觉心头一轻,仿佛多曰来的枷锁脱去,再郑重一揖,回去坐了,随后拿起酒杯一敬,就自仰脖喝下。 Zhang Yan smiles, takes up the wine glass, drank one, when puts, actually hears the adjacent seat to hear in a low voice the sound of talking, his facial expression moves, transports/fortunes the merit to the ear, only listens to a humanity: „According to the ritual of Chu Country, swims the banquet friend, meets the feast to enjoy the Jane|treasure, this Bell Platform Sect Master supposes meets the feast, rather than roaming feast, may see that fully this saves the meaning of ore assay secretly.” 张衍一笑,也是拿起酒杯,饮了一口,放下来时,却听得邻座传来窃窃语声,他神情一动,运功至耳,只听一人道:“按楚国之礼,游宴会朋,会宴赏珍,此次锺台掌门设会宴,而非是游宴,足可看出此暗存试金之意。” Another person of connection said: „After first twice Dragon Pillar, Bell Platform in sect Elder casualty more than half, at that time had rumor Sect Master Qiao to please beyond the faction artificial Elder, such as is the rumor not empty, above waited a minute to banquet my Martial Brothers to probably show one's skill well.” 另一人接口道:“前两次龙柱之后,锺台门中长老死伤过半,那时就有传言乔掌门要请得派外之人为长老,如是传言不虚,稍候饮宴之上我师兄弟可要好好露一手了。” Previously that person breathed out one, lowered the sound saying: „This is in the Bell Platform boundary, does not know that many expert visit me in side and others, that matter your I understand and that's the end, on the mouth raise not by any means again, so as to avoid for no reason queers had not known.” 先前那人嘘了一声,压低声音道:“此是锺台地界上,不知有多少高人在旁看着我等,那事你我心里明白就是了,切莫嘴上再提,免得平白得罪了人还不自知。” Another person understands, including hurriedly said: „Was is, is the little brother neglects.” 另一人心领神会,连忙道:“是是,是小弟疏忽了。” Goes again downward, two people all said are some ordinarily trivial matters, Zhang Yan shake the head smile, has no interest in listen. 再往下去,两人说得俱是些平曰琐事,张衍摇头一笑,也就无心在听。 Almost waits half double-hour, in the palace the guest is comes one after another neat, at this time heard bell sound suddenly, first is comes out to harness the gorgeous boat, flutters more than hundred female Ji, along with its dealings, rich and diverse flower petal everywhere sprinkles, later sees cloud light to hang from the day together, actually does not see the whence, resembling is Beyond the Heavens flies general, then listens to a Qing to make a sound, phosgene dispersing, black hair daoist grasps pleasant, walked from. 差不多候有半个时辰,殿中宾客陆陆续续已是来齐,这时忽闻一声钟响,先是出来一驾画舫,飘飞出来百余名女姬,随其往来,缤纷花瓣漫天洒落,随后就见一道云光自天而垂,却是不见来处,似是天外飞来一般,再听一声磬响,光气散开,一名黑发道人手持如意,自里走了出来。 Below Bell Platform disciple Elder saw, bows to bend the waist all, the mouth praised: „Has seen Daoist Sect Leader.” 下方锺台弟子长老见了,无不躬身弯腰,口称道:“见过掌门真人。” Presenting shows the ritual respect artificially, sets out to salute from the place in abundance. 在座之人为示礼敬,也是自座上纷纷起身施礼。 Bell Platform Sect Master Qiao pair of tall and slender phoenix eyes, rhinoplasty red lips, fine beard long to abdomen, handsome, withstand/top over ten thousand to accumulate the purple star crown, wears the exquisite silk mountains and rivers robe, withstand/top three groups of Astral Cloud, the miraculous rhyme moves, has the trillion of uniting, he breaks into a hearty laugh, carries the ritual saying: „Qiao comes, to have work Fellow Daoist to wait for a long time late.” 锺台乔掌门一双细长丹凤眼,隆鼻朱唇,髯长至腹,相貌堂堂,顶上万攒紫星冠,身着锦绣山河袍,顶上三团罡云,灵光韵动,有合一之兆,他朗声一笑,端礼道:“乔某迟来,有劳诸位同道久候。” Below guest called continually does not dare, Sect Master Qiao looked at one toward the palace step previous ritual officer, the latter station, was wanting to open the mouth, but, listened below to have humanity in the meantime suddenly: „Sect Master Qiao, Old Daoist hears to gather the different gentleman, does not envy the family background origin, this comes to go for shelter, may arrange my Martial Brothers two people below palace, Old Daoist I actually am in the heart refuse to accept.” 下方宾客连称不敢,乔掌门朝殿阶前一名礼官望了一眼,后者站了出来,正欲开口,可就在此时,忽听下方有人道:“乔掌门,老道听闻招揽异士,不忌出身来历,这才前来投奔,可将我师兄弟二人安排在下殿,老道我却是心中不服。” Zhang Yan transferred the eye of past, the person of discovery speaking was Old Daoist of crane-haired young face, precisely that Song Chuyuan same sect Yang Fengxiao. 张衍转目过去,发现出言之人乃是一名鹤发童颜的老道,正是那宋初远的同门杨奉霄。 The Sect Master Qiao self-control is good, is not seeing angry, looked at one toward below, said with a smile: „This is not Qiao is impolite, the person of presenting, or cultivation is profound, shakes a side, actually does not know that Fellow Daoist does have what ability?” 乔掌门涵养甚好,不见着恼,朝下看了一眼,笑道:“这并非乔某无礼,此间在座之人,或是功行高深,或是名震一方,却不知道友有何能耐？” Yang Fengxiao turns around, looks at the person of surroundings presenting, loudly said: „Old Daoist I then cultivate/repair strange technique to intend to offend somebody, above this banquets, is not good to display, but actually ‚cuts the skull to cut open the belly, washes intestines gouging heart’ to show.” 杨奉霄转过身来,瞧了瞧周围在座之人,大声道:“老道我修得奇术出手便要伤人,这饮宴之上,不好施展,不过倒是有一门‘斩颅剖腹,洗肠剜心’可以一示。” Below in an uproar, the cultivator body least bit cannot damage immediately, if there is incompletely, let alone achievement Grand Dao, is cultivation base must damage, do not cut the skull gouging heart, is the gentlemen of these Strength Dao, if cultivation does not practice profoundly, the body was broken , is the same must perish, as for that six Yang leader, was cut, not heard can also maintain a livelihood. 下面顿时一片哗然,修道人身体半点也损毁不得,若是有所残缺,别说成就大道,就是修为亦要损毁,可别斩颅剜心,便是那些力道之士,要是功行练不精深,躯体被断,也是一样要亡,至于那六阳魁首,被人砍下,从无听说还能活命的。 Sect Master Qiao had the interest, said: „Didn't Fellow Daoist chat?” 乔掌门却是有了兴趣,道:“道友不是说笑？” Yang Fengxiao smiles proudly, said: „Sect Master Qiao, Old Daoist was was not insane the insane person, ten thousand do not dare to crack a joke with such matter.” 杨奉霄自傲一笑,道:“乔掌门,老道可不是得了失心疯之人,万不敢拿此等事开玩笑。” A Song Chuyuan face doubt, he never heard that in sect has this strange technique, is in the secret cave book collection does not see to carry the record, secretly thought: „Is it possible that these more than hundred years do not see, what secret technique did he learn to be inadequate?” 宋初远一脸狐疑,他从未听说门中有这门奇术,就是秘窟藏书之中也不见有所载录,暗道:“莫非这百多年不见,他又习得了什么秘术不成？” Zhang Yan eye of light flash, in Azure Ocean Sect one of the twelve divine abilities „Void-Once Origin Life Qi” can achieve this point actually, does not know whether this person also meets this grade of divine ability. 张衍目光闪了下,溟沧派中十二神通之一的“虚一元命气”倒是能做到此点,就是不知此人是否也会这等神通。 Sect Master Qiao looks toward about, nods to say to it again: „That asked Fellow Daoist to try, if had such skill seriously, presented to the seat of honor, why not.” 乔掌门朝左右一望,再对其点首道:“那就请道友一试,若是当真有此等本事,奉至上座,又有何不可。” In the Yang Fengxiao eye shines, immediately was loose the waist silk ribbon, unties the clothes robe again, reveals the chest and belly body, traces neck, patted the belly, big shouted: „Which comes to begin.” 杨奉霄眼中放光,当即松了腰间丝绦,再将衣袍解开,露出胸腹皮肉,摸了摸自己颈脖,又拍了拍肚皮,大喝道:“哪一位前来动手。” The Song Chuyuan eye pinched the fist, wants to go forward to try, has not stood up, listens to the step to have a humanity: „this Eminence whether?” 宋初远目捏了捏拳头,就欲上前一试,还未站起,就听阶上有一人道:“本座可否？” Yang Fengxiao looked at the past, saw that person of thick lips thick eyebrows, the beard was thick, tall and strong exceptionally, the shape overwhelming power, laughed to say extremely: „Originally is Elder Xiang, before heard elder entering the Dao, once was the Chu Country valiant general, the bravest of the brave, your excellency held the blade, wants to be ruthless and spicy, was happiest.” 杨奉霄看过去,见那人厚唇浓眉,髭须浓密,魁梧异常,状极威猛,大笑道:“原来是项长老,听闻长老入道之前曾为楚国骁将,勇冠三军,尊驾执刀,想是又狠又辣,最为痛快不过。” Elder Kong were not many said, searched the hand to have one to grasp, has taken a thick back broadsword to come out from the sleeve, lifts under the step the step, 32 steps to Yang Fengxiao in front, without delay, the hand the blade fell, titters one, has cut to fall the head on the place. 孔长老也不多说,探手有一抓,已自袖中取了一柄厚背大刀出来,抬步下阶,三两步到了杨奉霄面前,二话不说,手起刀落,噗嗤一声,已是将头颅斩落在地。 The people are stare big both eyes to look at this moment all, see this one, is neck round of cool, but strange is, although the head goes, that body actually not but actually, has not seen in the fracture to have the blood blowout, at this time in the palace does not know where spreads one to laugh, the people go following the prestige, startles unconsciously different, is Yang Fengxiao that head sent. 众人此刻无不是瞪大双目在瞧,见此一幕,俱是颈脖发凉,可奇异的是,头颅虽去,那身体却是不倒,也未见断口之中有鲜血喷出,这时殿中不知哪里传出一声大笑,众人循声望去,不觉骇异,原是杨奉霄那头颅所发。 That head primitive face toward the place, rolled to turn at this time, transferred, loudly said: „, Old Daoist my head sends temporarily here, does not need the anxious clothing, Elder Kong, the work you to cut open my abdomen.” 那头颅原始脸孔朝地,这时骨碌一翻,转了过来,大声道:“诸位,老道我这头颅暂时寄在此处,不必急着装了回去,孔长老,劳你剖开我肚腹。” Sect Master Qiao said with a smile above: „Does not need, Fellow Daoist only this strange technique, to be makes me and others broaden the outlook, comes the person, on the palace bestows the place.” 乔掌门在上面笑道:“不必了,道友只这奇术,已是让我等大开眼界,来人,上殿赐座。” Elder Kong leaves near, he can see this not illusion art, but really cuts the head, expressed admiration unconsciously. 孔长老离得近,他能看得出这绝非什么幻术,而是真的将头颅斩下,不觉啧啧称奇。 Yang Fengxiao yelled: „Sect Master Qiao, Old Daoist this comes up, fears has Fellow Daoist to refuse to accept, allows me to use the method.” 杨奉霄大叫道:“乔掌门,老道这就上来,恐是有道友不服,还是容我施展完手段吧。” Saying, that headless body is trembling, does not know where takes a blade, to abdomen one stroke, is starting to grope ruthlessly later, a oneself hot big heart will take, is lifting single-handed, hinted to the people, later installed, puts out a hand to wipe, the wound is vanishes the clean, headless body leaves seat An, swaggered two steps, bent the waist grasps that head, again according to neck, first positive, then one pinched with the hand, breaks the mark already except, turned the neck, looked. Is the least bit matter does not have unexpectedly. 说着,那无头躯体一颤,不知从哪里取出来一柄刀,对着自己腹部狠狠一划,随后入手进去一阵掏摸,将自己一颗热乎乎的大心取了出来,单手举着,向众人示意了一圈,随后再装了进去,伸手一抹,伤口已是消失干净,无头身体离开席案,摇摇摆摆走了两步,弯腰将那头颅抓起,重新按在颈脖上,先是正了正,再用手一掐,断痕已除,扭了扭脖子,看去竟是半点事也无。 He cast aside in a place the people, the eye of reveal self-satisfied color suspends the sleeve, the fearless upward palace walks, before the Sect Master Qiao case, a ritual, sits down submissively immediately. 他撇了一眼座中众人,目露得意之色一摆袖,昂然向上殿走去,到了乔掌门案前,拱手一礼,便就坐下。 ...... …… ......( To be continued.) ……(未完待续。)
