Ran Xiushu saw own master is also the approval presented as a gift Zhang Yan Sword Pool, said immediately: „That Sword Pool in the Martial Uncle Wei immortal cave place, but also asked the master to bestow token, disciple good to bring.” 冉秀书见自家师父也是赞同把剑潭赠了张衍,便就道:“那剑潭在魏师叔洞府处,还请师父赐下令符,弟子好去取来。” But at this moment, Xun Huaiying is actually horizontal one step, puts out a hand to block, said: „Senior Brother Ran, comes slowly.” 可就在这时,荀怀英却是横出一步,伸手一拦,道:“冉师兄,慢来。” Looks to sitting Ying Chunqiu in the palace, has a hand arch, said with a respectful appearance: „Uncle Master, only presents as a gift Sword Pool, is somewhat improper.” 看向坐在殿上婴春秋,起手一拱,肃容道:“师伯,只赠剑潭,有些不妥。” Ying Chunqiu looks at his one eyes, is caressing the beard, silent. 婴春秋看他一眼,抚着胡须,沉默不语。 If Lacking Purity Sect in sect Sword Pill losing outside, but some people return, will all repay to thank again. 少清派若是门中剑丸遗失在外,只是有人送回,皆会酬以重谢。 Superficially goes, only to is Lacking Purity consecrate into the regulation of sword stage Sword Pill for this reason, but hides Profound Principles/Xuanji actually in addition. 表面上看去,只以为此是少清将剑丸供奉入剑台的规例,但其中实则另藏玄机。 Every Lacking Purity True Disciple, in Sword Pill all has Dao Law lu, even if Sword Lord passed away, so long as Sword Pill has not damaged thoroughly, but also in sect, that can see that actually that person how loses spars. 凡是少清真传弟子,剑丸之中皆是有一道法箓,哪怕剑主故去,只要剑丸未彻底损毁,还了门中,那便可藉此看出其人究竟是如何输掉斗法的。 If can examine to understand, next can raise puts, its value is immeasurable. 要是能查看明白,下一回便可有所提放,其价值无可估量。 However this matter is quite secret, in Lacking Purity Sect, besides Heavenly Cave Daoist, few Nascent Soul cultivator know, but Xun Huaiying exactly is one of them. 不过这事极为隐秘,少清门中,除了洞天真人之外,也只有极少数元婴修士知晓,而荀怀英恰是其中之一。 Obviously he thinks that this favor is big, only returns by Sword Pool, is actually insufficient. 显然他认为这个人情不小,只以一个剑潭回报,却是不够。 Ran Xiushu sees Ying Chunqiu not to open the mouth for a very long time, then transfers saying: „That Junior Brother Xun thinks that what should deliver?” 冉秀书见婴春秋久久不开口,便转首言道:“那荀师弟以为该送何物？” Xun Huaiying said solemnly: „My Lacking Purity, although will not owe people the favor, but why anxiously returning? Improves on perfection easily, giving opportune help is difficult, Extreme Tribulations, Fellow Daoist Zhang, if said, has the matter to ask, lends a hand to assist again then.” 荀怀英沉声道:“我少清虽不会欠人人情,但又何必急着还上？锦上添花易,雪中送炭难,重劫即至,张道友若曰后有事来求,再出手相助即可。” Ying Chunqiu sighed, if the favor can return that on own initiative is best, once after said that that insurance does not permit to pay more prices, possibly disciple did not care, but the person of his managing a household somewhat was difficult , was only Xun Huaiying this saying in the correct principle, he is unable should not, to say: „That then so.” 婴春秋一叹,人情若能主动还上那是最好,一旦到了曰后,那保不准会付出更多代价,可能门下弟子并不在乎,可他这当家之人却有些难为了,只是荀怀英这话在正理上,他无法不应,只好道:“那便如此吧。” In the morning sun pavilion meter hall, Zhou Hang is taking books to look, this book is the Great Peak Pillar surrounding 15 national customs geography wills. 朝阳阁仪馆之中,周沆正拿着一本书册观览,此书是乃是大岳墩周围十五国风物地理志。 cultivator frequently hundreds of ages, often are sit looked that world dynasty alternates, if profound clan Aristocratic Family, will not have any interest in the mediocre matter, but he actually looks with great interest, can sometimes also be able to see some unusual things from. 修道者动辄数以百计的寿数,常是坐看世间王朝更迭,若是玄族世家,不会对凡俗之事有任何兴趣,可他却偏偏看得津津有味,有时能还能自里看出一些不同寻常的东西来。 At this time the bamboo curtain raised, the beautiful appearance female who a reputation pulled the double blade hair bun entered to the pavilion, curtsies, said with the sweet greasy sound: „Master, disciple came.” 这时竹帘一掀,一名头挽双刀髻的美貌女子入至阁内,万福一礼,用甜腻声音道:“师父,徒儿来了。” Zhou Hang puts down Dao Scripture, said with a smile: „Cicada bead came back, what can once inquire?” 周沆放下道书,笑道:“蝉珠回来了,可曾打听到什么？” By way of Ran Xiushu, he did not have a joke backfire other day again, but life disciple found with the Lacking Purity disciple knot makes Dao Companion Zhou Clan clan member to inquire the news. 经由上回冉秀书之事后,他再没有去自讨没趣,只是命这名弟子找到与少清弟子结作道侣的周族族人打听消息。 The cicada bead is just about to open the mouth, actually hesitates, the beautiful eye looks four. 蝉珠正要开口,却迟疑一下,美目瞧了瞧四下。 Zhou Hang sees her worry, beckons with the hand saying: „It is not important, this I lay out Restriction Array, you had felt relieved that said is.” 周沆看出她的顾虑,摆手道:“不打紧,这处我已布下禁阵,你放心说就是。” Although with the Lacking Purity cultivator spleen surname, ten has ** stealing a glance that will not come, but is in others boundary, how is not overrated carefully. 虽以少清修士的脾姓,十有**是不会来的窥看的,但身在他人地界,如何小心也不为过。 The cicada bead is obviously relaxed, said: „respected teacher, I go to several elder sister that places to visit, the news is fuzzy, but there is an incident is actually noteworthy, before one month, in Lacking Purity Sect other rooftop sword furnace place has sword qi to clash, light penetrating Vault of Heaven, the rumor is Xue Elder refining up good Sword Pill, but disciple inquires, discovered that this Elder ordinarily reputation does not reveal, but this matter is actually well-known, this actually somewhat felt strange, has deliberately covers up the trace, thus disciple guessed, can this be the Daoist Zhang behavior?” 蝉珠明显轻松下来,言道:“恩师,我去几位姐姐那处拜访,所得消息俱是模糊,只是有一事却是值得注意,一月之前,少清门中别天台剑炉处有剑气冲起,光彻天穹,传言是一位薛姓长老炼得一枚上好剑丸,可弟子探问一番,发现这位长老平曰名声不显,可此事却是人人皆知,这却有些奇怪了,有刻意遮掩痕迹在内,因而弟子猜测,会否此是张真人所为？” Zhou Hang shows the surprise expression, said: „Refining up the sword? Did you determine?” 周沆露出诧异表情,道:“炼剑？你可是确定？” The cicada bead said: „disciple asked several people, all said that should be unmistakable.” 蝉珠道:“弟子问了数人,皆是如此说,应是无误。” Zhou Hang stroked under the jaw clear to, mental association had Zhang Yan to come the hearsay of Lacking Purity study sword, knit the brows: „Is it possible that is this matter is really inadequate?” 周沆捋着颌下清须,联想起张衍来少清学剑的传闻,皱眉道:“莫非果真是此事不成？” The cicada bead looks at his complexion, supple sound said: „respected teacher, Daoist Zhang non- is Lacking Purity disciple, results in the swordsmanship on the arithmetic, what Great Accomplishment is also not necessarily have, why bother also to worry?” 蝉珠看他脸色,柔声道:“恩师,张真人非是少清弟子,就算学得剑法,也未必会有什么大成就,又何苦烦恼？” Zhou Hang shakes the head, the Zhang Yan study sword is unimportant, more importantly behind this matter, thus, Lacking Purity and Azure Ocean two schools of dealings related the past was closer than much, this to Jade Firmament non- was a good news. 周沆摇摇头,张衍学剑本身并不重要,重要的是这背后之事,由此可以看出,少清、溟沧两派往来联系比过去紧密了不少,这对玉霄来说非是一个好消息。 He transferred changing mind, said: „You may once inquire, does Azure Ocean make one group of lodge for the night where presently?” 他转了转念,道:“你可曾打探出来,溟沧来使一行人现下宿于何处？” That female disciple dangles, said: „respected teacher forgives, disciple is incompetent, has not eavesdropped on its and other whereabouts.” 那女弟子垂下首来,道:“恩师恕罪,弟子无能,不曾探听的其等下落。” Zhou Hang beckons with the hand saying: „This actually does not blame you, should be Lacking Purity intentionally covering up, therefore.” 周沆摆手道:“这却不怪你,应是少清故意遮掩之故。” Thinks of this, he somewhat is unconsciously anxious, may make start from Mountain Sect / Gate welcoming, displayed to Lacking Purity afterward, he clearly felt that feeling of the feel alienated, pondered to say secretly: „After it seems like, when as soon as possible this matter inform Old Ancestor.” 想到此,他不觉有些忧虑,可从山门迎使开始,到少清后来表现,他分明感觉到了一股疏离之感,暗忖道:“看来回去之后,当尽快将此事禀明老祖。” Here Great Peak Pillar Southwest direction, observes on the rosy cloud stage, sword light flies to together, in sky over one revolution, subsequently disperses, Zhang Yan comes out from steps, he looked below Daoist temple, immediately according to falling cloud top, to before the step, in the view Jing You is Sense, ran to welcome from, liked: „Small has seen Master.” 此处大岳墩西南方向,观霞台上,一道剑光飞至,在上空一转,继而散开,张衍自里踏步出来,他看了看下方一处宫观,便就按落云头,才到至阶前,观中景游已是得了感应,自内一路小跑迎了出来,欢喜道:“小的见过老爷。” Zhang Yan said: „Senior Brother Miao where?” 张衍道:“苗师兄何在？” Jing You said: „In, is playing chess with several Elder.” 景游道:“在在,正与几位长老弈棋。” Zhang Yan takes a step toward the view, crossed the hall, did not spin the heel to the backyard, saw under the peach blossom tree, Miao Kun is playing chess with Elder, another three Elder from the onlooking, are coming this detect(ed) to him, all was stands up to salute. 张衍举步往观中去,过了正堂,不旋踵到了后院,见桃花树下,苗坤正与一名长老对弈,另外三名长老正自旁观,察觉到他来此,皆是站起行礼。 Miao Kun transfers the eye to look, shoves open the checkerboard, laughs, stands up saying: „Junior Brother Zhang, your leaves is 30 years, for the brother asked that in Lacking Purity the person, all said does not know the destination, if waited for several years not to see your person's shadow again, may probably go to Mountain Sect / Gate to move the reinforcement for the brother.” 苗坤转目一瞧,推开棋盘,哈哈一笑,站起身道:“张师弟,你这一离就是三十载,为兄问少清中人,皆言不知去处,要是再等几年还不见你人影,为兄可要去山门搬救兵了。” Zhang Yan knows him to tease, does not talk too much, at present he comes here study sword incident, is less people knows that is better. 张衍知他打趣,并不多言,眼下他来此处学剑一事,还是越少人知道越好。 That four Elder knew two people to have the words saying that was says goodbye the retreat. 那四名长老知二人有话说,都是告辞退去。 Miao Kun greeted Zhang Yan to sit down, cared to ask: „Did the Junior Brother trip achieve wishes?” 苗坤招呼张衍坐下,关心问道:“师弟此行可是如愿？” Zhang Yan said with a smile: „Has obtained slightly, does not send to return empty-handed.” 张衍笑道:“稍有所得,不致空手而归。” Miao Kun said repeatedly: „That is then good, that is then good, but does not know when...... we do return?” 苗坤连声道:“那便好,那便好,只是不知……吾等何时归去啊？” Zhang Yan said with a smile: „Couldn't Senior Brother wait?” 张衍笑道:“师兄可是等不及了？” Miao Kun complained: „Junior Brother you do not know, the person of Lacking Purity is senseless very much, entire said was not cultivation is Sword Battle, in sect does not have the good wine delicacies not saying that then even the dancing also had nothing, which rambled in own mansion.” 苗坤抱怨道:“师弟你是不知,少清之人俱是无趣的很,整曰不是修行便是斗剑,门中没有美酒佳肴不说,便连舞乐也是无有,哪及在自家府中逍遥。” He must go out to transfer several revolutions here, but Lacking Purity disciple knows him is Azure Ocean Sect Master honorary disciple, once goes out, is looks to give a pretext to ask for advice. 他在这里本是要出去转上几转,可少清弟子知晓他是溟沧掌门记名弟子,一旦出门,就都是找借口上来讨教。 He is also difficult, if should, if lost may lose the Sect Master Qin face, if should not, but also thinks that he was afraid of getting into trouble timidly, at first were used the spoken language to deal with several times by him, afterward is unable, only to give a pretext actually closes up, hides in the Daoist temple does not go out. 他也是两难,若是应下,万一输了可丢了秦掌门的脸面,要是不应,还以为他胆小怕事,起初几次都被他用言语应付过去,后来实则无法,只能借口闭关,躲在宫观内不出去了。 The Zhang Yan eye said: „Also asked Senior Brother to wait for several to say again patiently.” 张衍眼道:“还请师兄再耐心等候几曰。” In Miao Kun surface one happy, said: „? Really?” 苗坤面上一喜,道:“哦？果真？” Immediately be hesitant, asked carefully: „Junior Brother departs is obviously hurried, takes the liberty to ask that for the brother, is related with that Jade Firmament Envoy?” 随即犹豫了一下,小心问道:“师弟离去似显匆忙,为兄冒昧问上一句,可是与那玉霄使者有关？” Zhang Yan breaks into a hearty laugh, said: „Senior Brother considered thoroughly, Jade Firmament Envoy What does that have to do with me, but thinks and to the gate for a long time, wants to go back sooner.” 张衍朗声一笑,道:“师兄多虑了,玉霄使者与我何干,只是思及离门已久,欲早些回去罢了。” Miao Kun relaxes, said: „That is then good.” 苗坤松了一口气,道:“那便好啊。” Because refining up the sword, therefore, the Zhang Yan long time has not heard the news, after Miao Kun spoke several, then asks outside the mountain the matter. 因炼剑之故,张衍久不曾闻得外界消息,与苗坤言说几句后,转而便问起山外之事。 Miao Kun said: „Since Junior Brother comes Lacking Purity, in the continent was actually much calm and steady, is Demonic Sect dreads my two to collaborate obviously, wants to come for the brother, my three big Profound Sect must be able should the bureau, with drawing back hand in hand, wants to be deals with Demon Tribulation is also a cinch.” 苗坤言道:“自师弟来少清后,洲中倒是安稳了不少,显是魔宗畏惧我两家联手,为兄想来,我三大玄门要能携起手来应对此局,同进同退,想是应付魔劫也不在话下了。” Zhang Yan smiles, Miao Kun the position in Sect Master Qin disciple is not certainly high, something are unable to know. 张衍笑了一笑,苗坤确然在秦掌门弟子之中地位不高,有些事情无从知晓。 Three big Profound Sect collaborate, only if sets firm resolve, exterminated Demonic Sect thoroughly, but the fact was, three schools needed it to suppress Mysterious Yin Heavenly Demon for one's own side, to not make this matter absolutely, maintaining at present pattern that is best. 三大玄门联手,那除非是下定决心,彻底清剿魔宗了,可事实是,三派需其为己方压制玄阴天魔,是以绝对不会做得此事,保持眼下格局那是最好。 This also no wonder Lacking Purity and a Azure Ocean Sect contact, Jade Firmament then so tight, immediately sends an envoy to come. 这也难怪少清与溟沧派一接触,玉霄便如此着紧,立刻遣使前来。 Two schools of several thousand years all do not harass, may approach suddenly, that surely had a reason, if put in the past that said fortunately, but in the millenniums have Three Great Extreme Tribulations now, how was Jade Firmament resigned to be rejected outside? 两派数千年来皆是互不相扰,可忽然走近,那必定是有缘故的,若是搁在以往那还好说,可如今千年内有三大重劫,玉霄又怎甘心被排拒在外？ Also after asking several, saw these for 30 years not to have what important matter firmly, he then looked for other institute in this, the research sword secret art. 又问几句后,见这三十年来确未有过什么大事,他便在此找了一处别院,研修剑诀去了。 Arrived second said, Ran Xiushu comes, delivers that Sword Pool personally, the word is the ritual of back Sword Pill, asking him to accept. 到了第二曰,冉秀书寻上门来,亲手将那剑潭送上,言是送回剑丸之礼,请他务必收下。 Zhang Yan does not decline, led the good intention confidently, later tidied up, first goes to Great Clarity Palace and Ying Chunqiu salutes to take one's leave, then said good-bye before leaving toward the Xun Huaiying place, after coming out, immediately harnesses double flood dragon flying carriage, returned toward Mountain Sect / Gate with Miao Kun et al . 张衍也不推辞,坦然领了好意,随后收拾了一番,先去清鸿宫中与婴春秋致礼拜别,再往荀怀英处辞行,出来之后,便就驾动双蛟飞车,与苗坤等人往山门回返。 Because this sound is big, Zhou Hang in meter hall, is receives Azure Ocean Envoy to the news that the gate goes. 因这番动静不小,正在仪馆之中的周沆,也是收到溟沧使者离门而去的消息。 The cicada bead sees him to resemble is the state of mind is unsatisfactory, lowers the head to think, bites the lip saying: „respected teacher, disciple has an idea, could lay down a thorn between Lacking Purity and Azure Ocean two schools.” 蝉珠见他似是心绪不佳,低头想了一想,咬唇道:“恩师,徒儿有一计,或许能在少清、溟沧两派之间埋下一根刺。” Zhou Hang, said with a smile: „Cicada bead you are always intelligent, perhaps really has what brilliant plan, mentioned master one hear.” 周沆哦了一声,笑道:“蝉珠你一向聪慧,说不定真有什么良策,说来为师一听。” The cicada bead listens to him to praise, somewhat shames intent, lowers the head saying: „Daoist Zhang decides also Lacking Purity Mountain Sect / Gate at this moment, respected teacher may this time go out to intercept him, then chitchatted with it several, in the spoken language may pretend to have no intention, once disclosed several points with the matter of Mistress Zhou Attachment Daoist Zhang, so Lacking Purity must suspect......” 蝉珠听他夸赞,有些羞意,垂首道:“张真人此刻定还未曾出得少清山门,恩师可此时出去将他截住,然后与其攀谈几句,言语中可装作无意,把张真人曾与周娘子结缘之事透露几分,如此少清必会有所猜忌……” Zhou Hang shakes the head, this method extremely takes for granted, what between two schools really has to plan, how many spoken languages can instigate can it be that? 周沆摇了摇头,这法子太过想当然,两派之间真有什么谋划,又岂是几句言语能挑拨的？ Zhang Yan and Zhou Youchu, although once became the couple, but that is the earthliness marriage affinity, places in the cultivator eye, is actually not true dao companion. 况且张衍与周幼楚虽曾结为夫妻,可那是俗世姻缘,放在修道人眼中,却算不上真正道侣。 Perhaps the door small lot will attach great importance to this relations , but how Lacking Purity and Azure Ocean this grade of Profound Sect will great sect be cared about this matter? 或许小门小宗会十分重视此层关系,可少清、溟沧这等玄门大派岂会被在意此事？ Furthermore this matter also involves a secret, he is not really clear, had decided is unable to attain the floor, even if really held, what lost decides the Yang Zhou Clan face. 再则这事似还涉及一桩隐秘,连他也不甚清楚,是决计无法拿到台面上来说的,就算真的捅了出去,丢的是定阳周族的脸面。 The cicada bead sees him not to accept, urgently said: „respected teacher......” 蝉珠见他不纳,急道:“恩师……” Zhou Hang is actually the complexion sinks, said: „It is not no need saying that in this grade of method is the lowly one act, how could master for it? This matter cannot raise again, otherwise is not my disciple, can you understand?” 周沆却是脸色一沉,道:“不必说了,以这等手段乃是小人行径,为师岂能为之？此事不可再提,否则便不是我的徒儿,你可明白了么？” The cicada bead never sees is so severe from Master, frightens pretty face one white, nods again and again, does not dare to talk too much a character. 蝉珠从未见过自家师如此严厉,吓得俏脸一白,连连点头,再也不敢多言一字。 ...... …… ......( To be continued.) ……(未完待续。)
