Zhang Ming also wants to urge again, in the zhang (3.33 m) shake the head do not speak. 张明还想再劝,于老丈只是摇头不语。 Zhang Ming observes its facial expression to be quiet, the knowledge is its thought has decided that, sighed reluctantly however sighs, will still hug in making a tearful scene yuan, said: „Uncle in, lesser Dao waits a minute to meet Madame in mother and child, deciding to lead them safely to go out, the uncle you...... took care much.” 张明观其神情平静,知是其念头已定,勉强不来,喟然一叹,将犹在哭闹的涴儿一把抱起,道:“于老伯,小道稍候去接于夫人母子二人,定会带得他们平安出去,老伯你……多多保重了。” in zhang (3.33 m) gratified nod, arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest to him, „exhausted Little Daoist Priest.” 于老丈欣慰点头,又对他拱了拱手,“劳烦小道长了。” Lest Zhang Ming the yuan sound attracts others to pay attention, caresses her neck gently, then makes this little miss heavy go off. 张明唯恐涴儿声音引来旁人注意,轻轻一抚她颈脖,便使这小姑娘沉沉睡去。 Had/Left the compartment, about looks, sees soldiers dealings to put on, each one facial expressions tightened, many people have sprinkled the oil in preparation pile of firewood, is the glory waits obviously that Monster(s), must set on fire to burn the forest, the knowledge was to need quickly, therefore the illness/quick walked to female family members carriage by. 出了车厢,左右一望,见兵卒往来穿走,个个神情都是绷紧了,有不少人已在准备堆柴泼油,显是荣候待那妖魔袭来,就要放火烧林了,知是需得快些了,于是疾步行到女眷车驾旁。 Here more than 30 values defended own health/guard, when the situation is just now critical, was all reassigned the outside to resist Monster(s), at the present does not know the life, the people of only several effective appearances take the wooden stick to defend anxiously. 这里本来有三十余名值守亲卫,可方才形势危急时,俱被抽调到外间抵御妖魔了,而今也不知道死活,只几个管事模样的人拿着木棒紧张守着。 They pour recognize Zhang Ming, sees him to embrace the child, has not come up to detain. 他们倒都是认得张明,见他怀抱小孩,并没有上来拦阻。 Zhang Ming sees here to have the troika, actually does not know that which is Madame in place, then asked: „ Madame in, you where? 张明见此处有三驾马车,却不知哪一个是于夫人所在,便问道:“于夫人,你在何处？ In a right hand driving horse broadcasts a weak sound, said: „But Daoist Priest Zhang?” 右手一驾车马内传来一声虚弱的声音,道:“可是张道长么？” Before Zhang Ming several steps arrives at that carriage, he because of inconveniencing into, then said outside in a soft voice: „Madame in, the Monster(s) potential is big, is critical, in the zhang (3.33 m) made lesser Dao meet your mother and child, fast left this place.” 张明几步走到那马车前,他因不便入内,便在外面轻声言道:“于夫人,妖魔势大,情势危急,于老丈让小道接了你母子二人,速离了此地。” Madame in the sound is passing weak, said: „Daoist Priest. Can This Mistress this appearance, how get away? Daoist Priest did not need to manage This Mistress, delivered my child to go to greatly Le city, wishing him to pass this born with be possible safely.” 于夫人声音透着一股虚弱,道:“道长。妾身这副模样,如何走得了？道长不用管妾身了,就送我孩儿去大乐城,愿他能平平安安度过此生就可。” She speaking of behind, the sound of talking sobbed, wept with grief lowly, 她说到后面,语声哽咽,低低悲泣起来、 Zhang Ming persuaded: „Does Madame in, how could your child live then not to have mother? lesser Dao leads a person to might as well, must hesitate not, this place may not treat completely again!” 张明劝说道:“于夫人,你这孩儿岂能生下来便没有娘亲？小道多带得一个人还是无妨,莫要迟疑了,此地绝然不可再多待了！” Madame in listened to his words not like the comfort, spiritual slightly Cheer up several points. Trembling sound said: „Was Little Daoist Priest says really?” 于夫人听他话不像安慰,精神稍稍振作了几分。颤声道:“小道长是说真的？” After all can enough live. No one is willing dead seriously, she also has the young child who was just now born unable to give let alone. 毕竟可以够活着。谁也不愿意当真去死,更何况她还有才刚出生的幼子割舍不下。 Zhang Ming sound of talking is calm: „lesser Dao has the means seriously, asking Madame in to believe me.” 张明语声沉稳道:“小道当真是有办法,请于夫人务必信我。” Madame in silent a while, said: „Is only This Mistress walks inconveniently. Only can trouble Daoist Priest.” 于夫人沉默一会儿,才道:“只是妾身行走不便。只能麻烦道长了。” Zhang Ming sees him to comply. Relaxing. Said: „That lesser Dao was impolite.” 张明见他答应。松了一口气。道:“那就恕小道无礼了。” He waits a bit the moment again, in raises the curtain to enter, sees Madame in to recline in the cot. In the volume entangles the turban, the body is binding the thick quilt, its side has one to serve the maidservant, now then runs early, the baby one side of her facial countenance, sleeps soundly at this moment is just sweet. 他再稍等片刻,就掀帘入内,见于夫人横卧在榻。额上缠巾,身上裹着厚被,其身边本有一个伺候侍女,现在早便跑了,那婴孩在她头脸一侧,此刻酣睡正甜。 He said that offended, takes a red ink brush to come out, the movement on the compartment inner wall outlined talisman fast, along with him acted, smog obstructed the cage the carriage gradually. 他道一声得罪,取了一支朱笔出来,在车厢内壁上动作飞快地勾画符箓,随他动作,就有一股烟雾渐渐将马车遮笼。 At this time heard the outside to hear the sound of sharp song of the birds suddenly, the sound of large share fluttering, the knowledge is that bird monster is raids, sped up the movement busily. 这时忽听得外间传来尖利鸟鸣之声,还有大股振翅之音,知是那鸟妖又是袭来,忙是加快了动作。 When drew the picture to finish, he also thought slightly exhaustedly, wiped head sweat, to the outside, took out a water pocket again, filled to that two horses. 待做画完毕,他亦是稍觉疲累,擦了擦头上汗水,再至外间,取出一只水囊,给那两匹马灌了下去。 Again after a while, seems the person to shout several, several direction set aside the billowing thick smoke to brave, in camp instant chaotic, non-stop some people moving the crying number. 再过一会儿,似有人呼喊几声,有几处方向就腾出滚滚浓烟冒出来,营内霎时乱了起来,不停有人跑动哭号。 Zhang Ming does not pay attention, puts out Paper talisman from the bosom, will ignite, tries a point to refer to again, this rune/symbol explosion, one group of spirit fires, flutter before front horse. 张明不去理会,自怀中拿出一张符纸,将之引燃了,再试着一点指,此符轰的一声,就化一团灵火,飘在前面马首之前。 That two horses see this fire, as if resulted in anything to tow, neighs, four hooves, stared at the chase to go. 那两匹马一见此火,仿佛得了什么牵引,嘶鸣一声,四蹄踢踏,盯着追逐而去。 Which place Zhang Ming hand toward refers, that fire then often which place flutters, from this control leading a horse car(riage) spreads toward the woods outside. 张明手往哪处指,那火便往往哪处飘动,由此驾驭牵马车往树林之外驰走。 Madame in the sound spread from car(riage) at this time, somewhat urgently asked: „Daoist Priest, Father-in-law? How not with me and others together?” 于夫人声音这时自里车内传出,有些急切问道:“道长,公公呢？怎么不和我等一道？” Zhang Ming said in a low voice: „Uncle in has the dead will, is not willing to walk together.” 张明低声道:“于老伯心存死志,不愿一同走了。” In car(riage) for a while silent. 车里面一时无声。 Under Zhang Mingxin sighed, if he had own master skill magic power, can't be that bad? Deciding to return to protect the person of here, 张明心下一叹,要是他有自家师父的本事法力,又何至于此？定可将此处之人回护住了, But thinks of here, under the heart has doubts, the master should also to this celestial mountain , but why actually such as doesn't look for itself for a long time? 可是想到这里,心下却又疑惑,师父应也是到了这仙山中,可却为何如许久也不来找寻自己呢？ The master is also helpless to this Monster(s)? 还是说,师父也对这妖魔无能为力？ He somewhat is for a while panic-stricken, thought that fact is so , the deep thought place is not willing to believe this answer. 他一时有些心慌意乱,觉得事实似便是如此,又深心处又不肯相信这个答案。 Is indulging in flights of fancy, suddenly a before one's eyes clear(ly), already to forest land outside. In his bygone days look, immediately hold breath cold air. 正胡思乱想间,忽然眼前一明,已是到了林地之外。他往天中一望,登时倒吸一口凉气。 The day zhongornis monster is dense and numerous, unexpectedly the analogy had/left several times much, just now he injures that and other monsters of Monster General appearance, here has unexpectedly also has ten. 天中鸟妖密密麻麻,居然比方才多出了数倍,方才他伤得那等妖将模样的妖怪,这里竟有也有十余头。 Is good because of having talisman covers up, the carriages and horses hidden went to the whereabouts sound, it to his turn a blind eye, ran very much smoothly. 好在有符箓遮掩,车马隐去了行迹声响,其皆对他视而不见,很是顺利跑了出去。 Then so, after taking off/escaping the dangerous situation, he conducts the back fully is also the cold sweat. 便是如此,脱得险境之后,他背上也满是冷汗。 If according to walks normally, along the mountain forest river course the line, said toward northern high official’s again, but 34 days distance, may go to greatly Le city. But he does not dare to walk Grand Dao, the biography selects the alley to go through, is good because of having the symbol technique helps one another, the carriages and horses put on mountain Guolin, went easily and freely on the 45 th, used, arrived at the open boundary 若按正常行走,沿着山林河道而行,再往北上官道,不过还有三四日路程,就可到大乐城了。但他不敢走大道,传挑拣小路穿行,好在有符术相助,车马穿山过林,如履平地,用了四五日,才走到开阔地界 Here saw a person of trace gradually, but also is the person of fleeing from calamity, many people see him to have the horse to have the car(riage), depended, one and walks, in a day , gathered over a hundred people. He asked that knows these people to flee from calamity from the east Guyang city. 这里渐渐见了人踪,不过亦是逃难之人,许多人见他有马有车,自是靠了过来,一并行走,一日之间,也是聚集了上百人。他问了下来,才知这些人原来是从东面的古阳城逃难而来。 Also after two days, he saw a boundary tablet, above „happy county” two characters. 又两日后,他望见了一块界碑,上述“乐郡”二字。 The stone radical relies on sits a middle-aged scholar, the clothing is tattered, looks at the facial expression dispirited. 石旁倚坐着一个中年文士,衣衫破烂,看去神情颓丧。 Zhang Ming from the carriage on, walks up, bows with hands clasped to ask: „Consults this mister, does not know how to go toward Le city greatly?” 张明自马车上下来,走上前去,一揖问道:“请教这位先生,不知往大乐城怎么去？” He asked continually two, the talent some response, lifted catching the eye, said with a smile miserably: „Big Le city? Which also has what greatly Le city, before five days, big Le city broken by Monster(s).” 他一连问了两遍,那人才有了反应,抬了抬眼,惨笑道:“大乐城？哪还有什么大乐城,五日之前,大乐城就已被妖魔破了。” This language said that immediately caused in an uproar, encircled person in all around to reveal may not the color of believing, the person became flushed the face, rushed to front, pointed at him saying: „You. How can you spread rumors and cause trouble in this?” 这一语说出,顿时引起一片哗然,围在四周之人都是露出不可置信之色,有一人涨红了脸,跑到前面,指着他道:“你。你这人怎可在此造谣生事？” The middle-aged scholar sneers, said: „Do I spread rumors and cause trouble? Lin is waited disciple happily along with the hall petty clerk, before five days, has Great Monster to invade one's territory, the happy period of five days rate/lead more than ten thousand essences died to go out of town the resistance, who would have thought under its Metal Qi, the city wall but actually, Le Hou body dies but actually at the scene, more than ten thousand essences died for it rout, finally escapes the life non- majority.” 中年文士冷笑一声,道:“我造谣生事？林某本是乐候门下随堂书吏,五日前有一名大妖来犯,乐候率万余精卒出城抵御,哪知其一口金气下,城倒墙倒,乐候当场身死,万余精卒为之溃败,最后逃得性命者不过半数。” Listens to him to say with certainty that person is shocked immediately. Afterward backs up several steps. The hissing yelled: „I do not believe that I do not believe that more than ten thousand crack troops, how cannot be victorious Monster(s). Deciding is you are talking nonsense! Right. You are talking nonsense!” 听他言之凿凿,那人顿时愣住。随后倒退几步。嘶声大叫道:“我不信,我不信,万余精兵,怎么打不过一名妖魔。定是你在胡说！对。你是在胡说！” The scholar facial expression wants to say anything. However gives up suddenly, on the face full is sad color, long sighed. Said: „Monster(s) can drive the service magic arts, own health/guard again is is difficult to deal with, is the mortal embryo meat body. How with its to fight?” 那文士神情想说什么。但是突然间又放弃,脸上满是悲色,长长一叹。道:“妖魔能驱役法术,亲卫再是厉害,也是凡胎肉躯。怎么与其相斗？” That person stayed the long time, later probably one lost the strength, sat on the ground scared, 那人呆了半晌,随后好像一下失去了力气,失魂落魄坐在地上了, In the surrounding crowd is also transmits cries a sound, they run Le city to seek asylum from afar greatly, this thinks that may seek a calm and steady institute, has not thought, in the end was still the coming to naught dream. 周围人群中也是传来哭号之音,他们千里迢迢跑来大乐城避难,本以为可寻得一安稳之所,可没想到,到头来仍是一场空梦。 Middle-aged scholar does not endure to see this, said: „I direct your destination, this goes to Northeast direction, tall mound, the named Suncheon slope, was previous dynasty old place, the common people soldiers who drew back went to there, you and others may also toward that place.” 中年文士似不忍见此,道:“我指点你们一个去处,此去东北方向,有一个高丘,名为顺天坡,乃是前朝旧都所在,退下来的百姓兵卒都是去了那里,你等也可往那处去。” Zhang Mingdao: „Wilderness Monster(s), is not everywhere peaceful, why doesn't the forest gentleman go together?” 张明道:“野地到处妖魔,并不太平,林官人为何不一同去？” Middle-aged scholar struggled a while, nods. 中年文士似是挣扎了一会儿,才点了点头。 The Suncheon slope is away from their place is not far, leads under the middle-aged scholar, walks two double-hour, sees big mound of earth, under is the city wall that sections of a long time collapse early, now under all roosts completely the person of fleeing from calamity. 顺天坡距离他们所在并不远,在中年文士带领下,行走两个时辰,就见一座高大土丘,下方是一截截早久倒塌的城墙,如今下方俱都栖满了逃难之人。 Because this old city above a plain, Zhang Ming field of vision is unimpeded, he as far as eyes can reach, was supposing this place feared had gathered more than several tens of thousands people, outside this moment city is having several person who wears the petty local official long gown leads the soldier to maintain diligently, distributes the millet for porridge. 因这旧城址是在一片平原之上,张明视界无阻,他一眼望去,估摸着此地怕已是聚集了不下数万人,此刻城外正有几个身着吏员袍服的人带着兵丁在努力维持,分发粥米。 On the say/way does not see this corpse that comes to find at everywhere, obviously has the specialist to restrain, explained that this boundary still had the government official to keep the order, the situation compared with good that on he previously thought some. 道上也不见这一路过来随处可见的尸首,显然有专人收敛,说明这处地界尚有官吏维持秩序,情形比他先前所想的好上一些。 The middle-aged scholar also found, he smiles bitterly saying: „Fortunately Monster(s) does not eat the rice, in the warehouse the grain in storage has not lost actually, otherwise this many people, do not wait for Monster(s) to attack, hungry also starved to death.” 中年文士也是瞧见了,他苦笑道:“所幸妖魔不吃米粮,仓中存粮倒是未失,不然这许多人,不等妖魔来袭击,饿也是饿死了。” At this time one team of soldiers passed by, is wears heavy armor, the waist wears the short sword, the back entangles the bow and arrow. Grasps the big axe long dagger-axe, the place visited, tilts the billowing mist and dust, but hundred several people, have the thousand potentials of army flinching unexpectedly. 这时有一队兵卒路过,俱是身披重甲,腰佩短刀,背缠弓箭。手持大斧长戈,所过之处,掀动滚滚烟尘,不过百数人,竟有千军辟易之势。 The middle-aged scholar is pointing at the say/way: „This was the happy period of five days essence died, also does not know, now can also discover thousand numbers otherwise?” 中年文士指着道:“这便是乐候手下精卒了,也不知,如今还能找出千数否？” Zhang Ming looked at a while, said: „Actually is lesser Dao sees under glory Houfu in own health/guard many.” 张明看了一会儿,道:“却是小道所见荣候府下亲卫强上许多。” The middle-aged scholar said: „Big Le city is head of the county, naturally isn't common Hou Residence own health/guard may compared with...... Wait, glory Hou?” 中年文士道:“大乐城是乃是一郡之首,自然不是寻常侯府亲卫可比……慢着,荣候？” His complexion changes, said: „You and others are not always the Guyang city comes?” 他脸色一变,道:“你等不是从来古阳城来的么？” Zhang Mingdao: „That is only the accompanying person and others, lesser Dao actually came from west, being popular Rongcheng that at that time listened to exactly was broken, this to comes greatly happily.” 张明道:“那只是随行人等,小道却是从西而来,那时恰听的兴荣城被破,这才向大乐而来。” The middle-aged scholar urgently asked: „When matter?” 中年文士急问道:“什么时候的事？” Zhang Ming recalled, said: „Does not know the specific time, approximately before big half a month.” 张明回想了一下,道:“不知具体时候,约是在大半月之前了。” The middle-aged scholar full head sweat he took a section of branch suddenly, drew four enceintes to come out in different direction respectively, raked out the path again, in the mouth mutters along the way said: „That should before 15 th, 16 days solid mountain city broken, 17 days Guyang city was broken, these three cities almost begin in the same time interval......” 中年文士突然满头大汗他拿了一截树枝,分别在不同方向画了四座城廓出来,再勾出沿途道路,嘴中则喃喃言道:“那应是在十五日前,十六日固山城破,十七日古阳城被破,这三城差不多是在同一时段内动手……” His hand, tosses the branch suddenly later, face upwards to heave a deep sigh, said: „This Monster(s) is actually good to plan, this is such as the action of driving away flock of sheep is ordinary, making the person of four directions assemble me greatly happily, good to flood at one fell swoop duplicate.” 他手忽然一顿,随后把树枝一抛,仰天长叹一声,道:“这妖魔却是好算计,这是如驱赶羊群一般,令四方之人齐集我大乐之下,好一举淹覆啊。” His whole face tears, look under the slope the billowing stream of people, sighed to sigh: „Common people what sin, near this disaster, look, did not need, Monster(s) to be possible this day servant to eat on several th all!” 他满脸泪水,看着坡下滚滚人流,喟叹道:“苍生何辜,临此大难,看吧,不用几日,妖魔就可把这天下人尽数吃了!” „Ate the world person all?” Zhang Ming terrified one startled, said: „ Forest gentleman, are you what intent? “把天下人尽数吃了？”张明悚然一惊,道:“林官人,你这是何意？ The middle-aged scholar said with a smile miserably: „Is it possible that you do not know that on this day the next eight counties, some place of person of traces my county, other seven counties, during these more than ten years early by the skeleton of Monster(s) disaster are been vast now, were desolate and uninhabited, perhaps under the greatly happy city, was the world dies place certainly.” 中年文士惨笑道:“你莫非不知么,这天下八郡,如今我一郡之地还有人踪,其余七郡,这十余年间早被妖魔祸害的骸骨遍野,杳无人烟了,大乐城下,或许就是世人死绝之地了。” ...... …… ......( To be continued..) ……(未完待续。。)
