„Unexpectedly is so?” “竟是如此？” Chong An was somewhat surprised. 重岸有些吃惊了。 „Far more.” “何止。” old daoist is really old, as foreign Monastery Lord, usually wants being doomed deportment, but could not find the person to speak, now the mood is just thick, said: „Hears to have crane monster old ancestor, said that the meat taste is tasty, every day shears the meat three jin (0.5 kg), price high results, depends on these three jin (0.5 kg) meat, supported family/home of several hundred.” 老道人年纪甚大,身为对外的观主,平时要注定仪态,可是找不到人说话,现在谈兴正浓,道:“听闻有一家鹤妖老祖,自称肉味鲜美,每日割肉三斤,价高者得,就靠着这三斤肉,养活了一家数百口。” Chong An sounds, thought that was too unthinkable. The monsters must by shearing the meat maintain the livelihood, good that but this always compared with eating the person comes, a big monster remaining, let alone cuts several jin (0.5 kg) meat, even if the whole body hacks, so long as cultivation base is enough, a magical power revolution can be long. However he soon discovered that oneself thought mistakenly. 重岸听起来,觉得实在太匪夷所思了。妖怪都要靠割肉维持生计了,不过这总比吃人来的好,一个大妖剩下别说割下几斤肉,就算全身剐下来,只要修为足够,法力一转就能长回来。不过他很快发现自己想错了。 old daoist said full of enthusiasm: „This matter had not ended, after this method passes on, having the pig monster and deer monster are also rallies together to imitate, shears the wind of meat to be in vogue more and more, shearing the meat is also more and more, the price is actually more and more cheap, could not have stopped......” 老道人兴致勃勃道:“此事还没结束,此法子传出去后,有猪妖、鹿妖也是群起效仿,割肉之风越来越盛行,割肉也是越来越多,价钱却是越来越贱,偏偏还停不下来……” Chong An is listening to the heart startled, makes, which monster can bear. He asked: „That present?” 重岸听着心惊,这么弄下去,哪个妖怪受得了。他问道:“那如今呢？” old daoist did not say suddenly, smiles, said: „Many matters, Monastery Lord descended the mountain to know, did not use the younger generation..” 老道人忽然不说了,嘿嘿一笑,道:“许多事,观主下山就能知晓了,不用晚辈来说。。” Chong An sees him to keep guessing, is not angry, nodded, he is also interested in the present way of the world, said: „Should walk, yes.” 重岸见他卖关子,却也不恼,点了点头,他自身也对如今世道感兴趣,道:“是该走一走,看一看了。” old daoist said at this time: „Right.” Took out a bracelet to give him from the sleeve. „Monastery Lord puts on this thing.” 老道人这时道:“对了。”从袖中取出一个手镯递给了他。“观主戴上此物。” In Chong An takes this thing, immediately understands it affected, said: „Interesting.” 等重岸把此物拿到手里,立时就明白其作用了,道:“有意思。” old daoist said: „This thing does not know from where when is prosperous, my young apprentice belt/bring climbs mountains, the common person depends on this thing to be widely separated by the thousand li (500 km) to talk, and can this distinguishable status, actually probably have now, in the view everyone has.” 老道人道:“这东西也不知从何时兴盛起来的,还是我那小徒儿带上山得,寻常人靠着此物远隔千里与人交谈,且还可以此辨别身份,如今却是少不得,观中每一个人都有。” Chong An put on the wrist/skill, said: „I descended the mountain.” 重岸戴上了手腕,道:“那我下山了。” old daoist bows a ritual, said: „Sees off Monastery Lord.” 老道人躬身一礼,道:“恭送观主。” Chong An suspends the sleeve, then this descended the mountain. 重岸一摆袖,便此下山去了。 old daoist hammered the forehead at this time, whispered: „What probably forgot?” He shakes the head, „considers as finished, by the Monastery Lord skill, wants to come to deal with.” 老道人这时锤了锤额头,嘀咕道:“好像忘了什么？”他又摇摇头,“算了,以观主的本事,想来都是能应付的。” Chong An wants to have a look at these since 3000 the change, then does not have flying, the path that but along the mountain road, actually the discovery descends the mountain is very smooth, is laying down with the neat and tidy stone slate strip, unconsciously nods. 重岸想看看这三千年来的变化,便没有飞遁,而是沿着山道而下,却发现下山的道路很是平整,都用整整齐齐的石板石条铺设着,不觉点头。 On following custom ritual record looked, now the product is rich, a county's land can handle a country. Like the past , can only that and other places of royal government graciousness permits be able to cultivate/repair this and other bold extravagant mountain roads. 从俗礼述录上看,如今物产丰富,一县之地当得起过去一国。像以往,也只能那等朝廷恩许之地才能修出这等豪阔山路来。 However this dao monastery stood erect in this good and evil three thousand years, was the scenic spot and historic resort, could handle such consecrates. 不过这道观矗立在此好歹三千载了,也算是古迹名胜了,也当得起此等供奉。 When descending the mountain, he is actually discovered that oneself does not seem to ask that old daoist the way of the world uses what money now. Although he plans to melt money is also easy, but he disdains to do this grade of matter. 待下了山后,他却是发现自己好像没问那老道人如今世道用什么钱钞。虽然他拟化钱钞也是容易,不过他不屑做这等事。 cultivator reveals itself is not the idle talk vernacular, so-called self- all foot, cultivation profoundness, if wants, sits lies to walk, eats with, does not need outside to ask totally. 修道人出世不是空口白话,所谓自我皆足,修行高深者若是愿意,坐卧行走,吃食用度,一概无需外求。 When he had/left the mountain scenery, arrived in the open field, seeing above the path the contact everywhere is the ingenious thing, some with the aid of the manpower, some are the ironwood mechanisms/organizations, but also some controls monster simply. 等到他出了山景,来到了开阔地上,见道路之上往来到处都是机巧之物,有的是借助人力,有的是铁木机关,还有的则干脆是驾驭妖物。 However he noticed, can control monster, all be the person of clothes upper reaches, most people also with common carriages and horses. 不过他留意到,能驱驭妖物的,俱是衣冠上流之人,大多数人还只是用寻常车马。 Perhaps was he is staring at the time grew a point, a horse monster suddenly leg and foot one soft, dragging is entraining the carriage to sway fiercely, inside person scolded one, sound spreads of middle-aged man: „old Qing, what's the matter?” 也许是他盯着的时间长了一点,一个马妖忽然腿脚一软,拖拽着的马车剧烈摇晃了一下,里面的人骂了一声,一个中年男子的声音传出道:“老青，怎么回事？” horse monster looked at Chong An one secretly, does not dare saying that oneself was frightened, but said: „Small monster was just now distracted, but also looks at master to forgive.” 马妖偷偷看了重岸一眼,不敢说自己被吓倒了,只是道:“小妖方才走神了,还望主家恕罪则个。” The complaint sound that the compartment spreads another female, „I said that this horse, you did not listen, did not listen, you had a look......” 车厢传出另一个女子的埋怨声,“我就说这匹马老了,你偏不听,偏不听,你看看……” „Ok.” In the car(riage) person some are impatient, „what on avenue to quarrel, some words went back saying that a family's horse monster such head, your brothers , if willing his taking advantage of me, I to use this nag?” “好了。”车中之人有些不耐烦,“大街上吵什么,有话回去说,家里的马妖就这么一头,你那兄弟要是肯将他那匹借我,我用的着这老马？” „Yo yo, was my not, my brother previous time borrowed your 30,000 money......” “哟哟哟,都是我的不是了,我兄弟上次借你的三万钱……” „Good, this three years ago matters, you were not tired of me to be bothersome.” “好了好了,这都三年前的事了,你不烦我还烦。” „I know that you were tired of me, which small young woman did you have a liking for?” “我就知道你烦我了,你是不是又看上哪家的小娘子了？” „Good line.” The vehicle owner person has a headache very much, avoids the topic, is scolding to horse monster: „This time is to go to above Wú Residence, when the time comes do not lose face to me again.” “行了行了。”车主人很头疼,避开话题,对着马妖呵斥道:“今回是去吴府之上,你到时候不要再给我丢脸。” horse monster lowers the head saying: „Yes, master.” He cast a sidelong glance fast, sees that daoist already not, this was careful that the starting to walk hoof walked. 马妖低头道:“是,主家。”他又飞快瞟了一眼,见那道士已经不在了,这才小心迈开蹄子走了起来。 Chong An looks at has mixed feelings outside, really has not thought, originally for a monster of calamity side, turns into so the appearance now unexpectedly, but no matter what, this is not always the misdemeanor. 重岸在外看着心情复杂,真是没想到,原来为祸一方的妖怪,如今居然变成这般模样了,可不管怎样,这总不是坏事。 He is unpurposed, along the avenue the line, gradually arrived at the place of stream of people widening, seeing the two sides is high tower vast mansion, most things see what one never saw before, hear something never heard of before, but he one passes shortly, roughly can know that for what way, has not thought class like this, is simply innumerable. 他并无目的,沿着大街而行,逐渐来到了人流开阔之地,见两边都是高阁广厦,大多数东西都是见所未见,闻所未闻,不过他一眼看过去,大致能知道是用于何途的,就是没想到门类如许之多,简直数不胜数。 daoist has the enough high position in this years as before, the line, and no one comes up the question, especially his facial expression is fine-looking, divine poise and sagelike features, some people also yield the way on own initiative. 道士似是在这年月依旧有着足够高的地位,一路行来,并没有人上来问话,特别是他貌相英挺,仙风道骨之相,一些人还主动让道。 At this time footsteps slightly paused, because saw a chicken butcher shop, it may be said that overflowed fragrant floating, but the shop owner was actually chicken monster that brings the scarlet crown, in people's eyes was also only hair somewhat strange raising up. 这时脚步微微一顿,因为看见一个鸡肉铺,可谓香飘四溢,只是店主却是一个带着大红冠的鸡怪,在一般人眼里也只是头发有些怪异的竖起。 That chicken monster is actually different from horse monster, sees the Chong An vision to oneself, is one has stared. 那鸡怪倒是与马妖不同,见重岸目光向自己,也是一眼瞪过过来。 The joke, he has the annals, is the proper monster of reigning dynasty acknowledgment, is not the beast of burden that these ground sell the coolie. 笑话,他可是有册书的,是国朝承认的正经妖怪,可不是那些地上卖苦力的牛马。 Chong An walked at this time, sized up several, asked: „What you sell is the chicken?” 重岸这时走了过来,打量了几眼,问道:“你这是卖的是鸡肉？” chicken monster shows the whites of the eyes, he pulled pulling the sleeve, „such big signboard hangs here, but can also have the false, is in a nest, body that several two meat don't I understand compared with you?” 鸡怪翻了个白眼,他把袖子挽了挽,“这么大的招牌挂在这里呢,还能有假,都是一窝里的,身上那几两肉我不比你们更懂？” At this time the man walked, chicken monster trades a smile immediately, grovelled saying: „What does guest want?” 这时有一个男子走了进来,鸡怪立刻换了一副笑脸,点头哈腰道:“客人想要点什么？” The guests to some Chong An awes, without said anything, wanted a whole chicken to walk in a hurry. 客人对重岸似有些敬畏,没有多说什么,要了一只整鸡就匆匆走了。 chicken monster still walks in behind even/including Daoman. 鸡怪还在后面连道慢走。 Chong An said curiously: „Are you very actually polite to these common people?” 重岸好奇道:“你倒是对这些寻常人很客气？” chicken monster to outside cupped the hands, was saying: „That is people one relies on for a living.” The spin reveals the color of despising, „your dao monastery may not manage us now.” His side is supine, the thumb curls upwards backward, is pointing at behind some great seal, said: „Found? Mansion seal! Some reigning dynasties support to us! Isn't convinced? Enduring!” 鸡怪对着外面拱了拱手,道:“那可是衣食父母。”旋又露出轻蔑之色,“你们这些道观现在可管不到我们了。”他一个侧仰,大拇指向后一翘,指着后面某个大印,道:“瞧见了没？府印！有国朝给咱们撑腰！不服气？忍着！” Chong An nods, deep is so, the monster who nowadays, can become a ghost is really unyielding! 重岸点点头,深以为然,这年头,能成精的妖怪果然硬气！ He turns around to walk. 他转身就走。 chicken monster elongation neck looks at he departs, both hands pull the sleeve, snort/hum, said: „What years, imitated what dao sire in this?” 鸡怪伸长脖子看着他离去,双手把袖子一扯,哼了一声,道:“什么年月了,在这充什么道爷？” At this time a not far away impatient voice conveyed: „Shop owner? Shop owners! Don't some people have?” 这时不远处一声不耐烦的声音传来:“店家？店家！有人没啊？” The chicken monster face breaks down, smiles apologetically and says: „Yeah, came, came.” 鸡怪脸一垮,赔笑道:“哎,来了,来了。” Chong An gets down the line to walk, experienced the thing of all forms, broadened the outlook actually, arrived at a stream bank, actually saw two fish monster spat the bubble to chat there. 重岸下来行行走走,见识到了形形色色的东西,倒是大开眼界,走到了一条河堤边,却是见到了两个鱼妖在那里吐泡沫闲聊。 He cocks the ears one hear, then has the rustling sound to transmit. 他侧耳一听,便有窸窣声音传来。 „This water misses day by day, was unable to resettle.” “这水是一天比一天差,还不能挪窝。” „Your household register in this, which cannot go, this is the custom of reigning dynasty.” “你的户籍就在这,哪都不能去,这是国朝的规矩。” „Yeah, I want to go to the countryside, in beautiful scenery, glorious weather, worry-free.” “哎,我想去乡下,拿里山清水秀,风和日丽,无忧无虑。” Another fish monster despises saying: „Went to there, every day can some people feed to you? Your also grain bin under this fat fat?” 另一条鱼怪鄙夷道:“去了那里,每天能有人给你喂食？你还囤得下这一身肥膘么？” That fish monster complains of injustice saying: „But I also go all out, my day jumped in the past few days da more than 500, that to yamen picture fish dive Dragon Gate chart has not disliked satisfied, said that what my scale is not very bright, the build is not very positive, even the beard does not have, but the father I am the grass carp!” 那鱼怪叫屈道:“可我也卖力气的啊,前些天我一天蹦跶了五百多回,那个给衙门画鱼跃龙门图的还嫌不满意,说什么我鳞片不够亮,体型不够正,连胡子都没有,可老子我是草鱼啊！” Chong An laughed in spite of trying not to shake the head, left here, arrived above lively avenue gradually, here was found in the tall building, the stream of people, if wove, made noise exceptionally. His far separated sees a spirit crystal act drop, stops to stay over, on that is having the two person to be in discuss Tao. 重岸失笑摇头,离开了这里,渐渐又走到一条繁华大道之上,这里更是遍布高楼,人流如织,喧闹异常。他隔远见到一个灵晶大幕,驻足停留下来,那上面正有两个人正在辩讨。 The topic is actually interested, said is spirit sprite is the monster. A saying considered, because spirit sprite inhuman non- monster. Another saying was not, because the monster did not recognize people does not recognize, got down and discussed that should to the spirit sprite round of imperial edict imperial edict, the monster have unexpectedly, cannot favor one and discriminate against the other. 题目倒是有兴趣,说得是灵怪算不算妖。一说当是,因为灵怪非人非妖。另一说不是,因为妖不认人不认,下来又讨论该不该给灵怪发敕诏,居然妖怪也有了,也不能厚此薄彼。 Chong An looks with great interest, the real way of the world is really the light land is strange. 重岸看得津津有味,真世道真是光陆离奇。 spirit sprite this thing, had actually in the past actually, but is at the remote region, is rarer than the monster, now looks like also lowers the monster first-grade. 倒是灵怪这东西,以往倒是有一些,不过都处在偏远地带,比妖还少见,现在看来还低妖一等。 Looked for a long time, he takes a step to leave, soon, before arriving at a main house gate , before suspending the restaurant of wealth officer statue, he noticed that carriage that just now sees stops in the horse stable, that horse monster by hitch there. 看了许久,他迈步离开,不久,来到了一家门前摆着财官石像的酒楼前,他留意到方才见到的那马车就停在马厩之中,那马妖正被栓在那里。 He thinks, walked, said: „This fellow daoist......” 他想了想,走了过来,道:“这位道友……” horse monster also found him, is somewhat anxious, listening to him saying that said hastily: „Does not dare, does not dare, where dares to call the friend with fellow daoist, calling old Qing to be good.” 马妖也瞧见了他,也有些紧张,听他这么说,连忙道:“不敢,不敢,哪敢和道友称友,叫老青就好。” Chong An said: „Do I see fellow daoist is not been unhappy by master?” 重岸道:“我见道友似被主家不喜？” horse monster sighed the sound, said: „Dislikes me to eat a lot, runs slowly.” 马妖叹了声,道:“嫌我吃得多,跑得慢。” Chong An said: „I observe fellow daoist also somewhat dao skill, I come, listening to many monster saying that a Shanghai imperial edict in the city mansion, may walk freely, hasn't fellow daoist gone to Shanghai?” 重岸道:“我观道友也有几分道行,我一路过来,听诸多妖物都言,在城府之中申一张诏书,就可自由行走,道友没去申么？” horse monster cast aside his one eyes, said worn out: „In Shanghai, in Shanghai.” 马妖撇了他一眼,有气无力道:“在申了,在申了。” Chong An said: „Improper what has?” 重岸道:“可是有什么不妥么？” horse monster sighed: „I live am the beast of burden, the ancestor for generations was the beast of burden, after Shanghai, I was the beast of burden, wasn't that white Shen? Although master the whip I hit me to shut out me, but the good and evil has the place to live, and except for making the beast of burden, I do not know that can make anything.” 马妖叹气道:“我生下来就是牛马,祖上世世代代都是牛马,申了之后,我还是牛马,那不是白申了么？主家虽然鞭我打我嫌弃我,但好歹有个安身之地,且除了做牛马,我也不知道能做什么啊。” Chong An looking pensive, heard sharp whistling sound at this time, horse monster trembles immediately. He said: „What is that?” 重岸若有所思,这时听到一声尖锐的哨声,马妖顿时一个哆嗦。他道:“那是什么？” horse monster said: „Which monster bandit deciding is!” He oh sighed: „After this matter, certainly will investigate rigorously us again, master must go to the expense, the day was more difficult to suffer.” 马妖道:“定是哪个妖匪！”他唉叹道:“此事过后,一定会再严查我们,主家又要破费了,日子更难捱了。” Chong An is looking somewhere, said: „Is this matter common?” 重岸望着某处,道:“这事常有么？” „Is uncommon, 45 years see one time. However dao sire does not need to be worried, monster bandit annoys anyone, does not dare to annoy dao sire.” Is speaking, horse monster raised the head, actually sees that daoist to disappear, it was startled the moment, quickly turned into a moment ago the dispirited dull appearance. “倒不常见,四五载才见得一次。不过道爷不用担心,妖匪惹谁,也不敢惹道爷啊。”说着话,马妖一抬头,却见那道人不见了,它怔了片刻,很快又变成刚才颓唐呆愣的样子了。 ...... …… ...... ……
