The Way Conference beginning of first day is not smooth, but also was missing baseless several hundred people, regarding being responsible for the Way Conference official, although mixed before the emperor reluctantly, but cannot make the mistake over the following several days absolutely. 第一天的法会开场并不顺利,还凭空失踪了几百人,对于负责法会的官员而言,虽然在皇帝面前勉强混了过去,可接下来几天就绝对不能出差错了。 These law platform Way Conference places are not luckily high, there are in many space broad main halls, the variable should be also smaller. 幸好那些副法台的法会场所都不高,有不少还是空间广阔的大殿室内,变数应该也会小一些。 The management to these masters is quite actually loose, although has the statistics in the book, but has not restricted any personal freedom, if before some Way Conference start, should arrive, but not, then regards as the forfeit. 对这些法师的管理其实比较宽松,虽然都有统计在册,但并未限制任何人身自由,若有一些场法会开始前应到而未至者,则视作弃权。 Right, obviously is eliminating calamity and send down blessing Way Conference, has certain contention screening nature, after all the cardinal virtues emperor must select expert to confer rank and title. 没错,明明是祈福消灾的法会,却带有一定的角逐筛选性质,毕竟元德皇帝是要选出高人册封的。 May after all be water and land Way Conference, the so-called contention naturally possibly is not the battle, how therefore to reveal own to be special during this period, how to reveal oneself compared with others „high”, is a knowledge. 可毕竟是水陆法会,所谓角逐当然不可能是争斗,所以在这期间怎么显露自己的特殊,怎么显露自己比别人“高”,也是一门学问。 After the rain stops, as the remaining masters the arrangement of royal government, each one returned to the post house one after another. 雨停之后,剩下的法师们都随着朝廷的安排,各自陆陆续续回了驿馆。 When others almost walk, the young Buddhist priest who grasps the monk's staff stands before the law platform stair, solemn is looking at entire law platform. 在他人都走得差不多的时候,一名手持禅杖的年轻僧人就这么站在法台台阶前,神情肃穆的望着整个法台。 The Buddhist priest facial features hall is just handsome, the surface such as the suet obviously is not outwardly submissive but inwardly evil-hearted, wears the cassock to wear the bamboo hat, the physique does not lose in the hand straightly the monk's staff, after gaze law platform long time, directs the Buddha ritual single-handed. 僧人五官堂正唇红齿白,面如羊脂却不显阴柔,身穿袈裟又头戴斗笠,身姿笔直不输手中禅杖,注视法台良久之后,才单手引佛礼。 „Meritorious Great Bright King Buddha......” “善哉大明王佛……” „Grandmaster lives a good leather bag actually!” “大师倒是生得一副好皮囊啊！” Side sound resounds suddenly, frightening this monk cannot bear is the body shakes, although this sound is just temperate, but came is also sudden. 身旁这声音冷不丁响起,吓得这和尚忍不住就是身子一抖,这声音虽然中正温和,但来得也太突然了。 Ji Yuan does not know when has stood in the side of this young Buddhist priest, is bringing the happy expression opens the mouth, this monk was been somewhat not as he expected by the response of having a scare, is interesting. 计缘不知何时已经站在这位年轻僧人的身旁,正带着笑意开口,这和尚被吓一跳的反应有些出乎他的预料,也是有趣。 The Buddhist priests have a look around Ji Yuan, executed a Buddha ritual. 僧人看看边上的计缘,也是施了一个佛礼。 „Donor also said that but is a leather bag, is not needing.” “施主也说了,不过是一副皮囊而已,无需着相。” „Un, but the leather bag to such as the Grandmaster so degree, let the person actually don't, was one is also planting on the contrary.” “嗯,但皮囊到了如大师这般程度,硬是让人别着相,反倒也是一种着相了。” Ji Yuan returned to a ritual submissively, involved the theory to result in along with the nature by previous life some in network said that actually was also the expression of real mood, after all the person grew into this monk this, wanted others to regard as commonly is also too forced. 计缘拱手回了一礼,以上辈子的网络上的某种牵扯理论随性得说了一句,其实也算是真实心情的表达,毕竟人长成这和尚这样,要别人视作寻常也太牵强了。 The monk gawked actually, returns a courtesy to Ji Yuan again. 和尚倒是愣了一下,再次冲着计缘回礼。 „Meritorious Great Bright King Buddha! The donor peeps sees and can look through, was the monk.” “善哉大明王佛！施主窥得见又看得破,是小僧着相了。” The cloud of space had dispersed at this time similarly, the sunlight also shines to the national capital mansion land, Ji Yuan looked at the surroundings, some pedestrians who have successively presented that some are hear or see that side beforehand law platform possibly to have an accident, is thinking has anything to look lively. 天上的云这时候已经散得差不多了,阳光也重新照射到京畿府的大地上,计缘看了看周围,已经陆续出现的一些行人,还有一些是听说或者看到之前法台那边可能出事,想着有什么热闹能看的。 „Why does Grandmaster come to participate in this water and land Way Conference?” “大师又为何前来参加这水陆法会？” Ji Yuan asked the sentence in a soft voice. 计缘轻声问了句。 „Only eliminates calamity and send down blessing!” “唯祈福消灾尔！” The Buddhist priests do not have declares Buddha, resulted in one respectfully. 僧人没宣佛号,恭敬得回了一句。 Ji Yuan had not said that what letter/believes or does not believe that has not expressed what opinion, but nods to him, later turns around to depart. 计缘没说什么信或不信,更没发表什么意见,只是冲他点了点头,随后转身离去。 This Buddhist priest has gazed after this Ji Yuan to disappear in the line of sight, then has a look at that side big law platform, wiped the thin perspiration on forehead bamboo hat, raised the monk's staff to leave on the half step. 这名僧人一直目送这计缘消失在视线中,然后再看看那边的大法台,擦了擦额头斗笠上的细汗,提起禅杖就快步离开了。 ‚A bit faster the post house that returns to itself to stay.’ ‘还是快点回到自己住宿的驿馆去吧。’ ... 。。。 National capital mansion common people in following so-called nine days at ten meetings, except for can approach the Way Conference each law platform position to hear an intermittent sutras to read the sound of law, can in the street see that frequently some masters „develop law”. 京畿府的百姓在接下来的所谓九天十会中,除了能在靠近法会各个法台的位置听到一阵阵诵经念法的声响,也经常能在街头看到一些法师“演法”。 Because each law platform location is not big, remaining nine in the Capital City different positions, will cultivate to hold the big law by the masters of different raid in turn, facilitates some officials and Registrar and other government officials observed carefully each master hand/subordinate. 因为各个副法台场地并不大,剩下的九会都是在京城不同位置,以不同批次的法师轮流修持大法,也方便一些官员和手下主簿等官吏细心观察各个法师。 In this process, on Way Conference can in the direct reveal single-handedly be very important. 这过程中,法会上能直接露上一手是很重要的。 Simultaneously for is easier „blooming” in water and land Way Conference, some masters also in national capital prefectural city, doing everything possible manifests a presence „”. 同时为了在水陆法会中更容易“脱颖而出”,一些个法师也会在京畿府城内,想方设法的“无意间”显圣一番。 Some people choose in relaxation time social climbing highly placed people, some people choose in the bustling streets set up a stall tell fortunes, and what is more deliberately makes some extremely strange manner to bring to the attention. 有人选择在休息时间攀附达官贵人,也有人选择在闹市上摆摊算命,更有甚者刻意做出一些极其怪异的行为举止引起注意。 This regarding leaves the mountain Jade Heart mountain cultivator to feel fresh rarely, let alone they, the ghosts and gods of Ji Yuan and old dragon as well as this national capital mansion also hold a watching the fun mentality to surround. 这对于难得出山一趟的玉怀山修士来说可是倍感新鲜,别说他们,计缘和老龙以及这京畿府的鬼神也是抱着一种看热闹的心态在围观。 This meets Ji Yuan to drink tea in the two building window positions of leafiness building, opposite sitting is dragon child Ying Feng, one side to is dragon daughter Ying Ruoli that the window is sitting. 这会计缘正在青叶楼的二楼窗位上喝着茶,对面坐着的则是龙子应丰,一侧对着窗户坐着的则是龙女应若璃。 The ground floor is one „the law booth”, a senior master of features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality supposes, the law booth is a stroller puts up, above also pasted many notes. 楼底下是一个“法摊”,一个仙风道骨的老法师所设,法摊是一辆小推车架起来的,上头还贴了很多字条。 The note general idea/careless clarified can the glyphomancy tell fortunes may also help people overcome their difficulties, and is being predestined friends person sits down manages, missing holds the gold to come not to receive, then also writes is not working not takes a single cent, effective , if no wealth to pay, the sincere acknowledgment may also. 字条大意讲明了可以测字算命也可排忧解难,并且是有缘人坐下才管,无缘者抱着金子来也不收,然后还写着不灵分文不取,灵验了若是没有钱财可支付,诚心致谢也可。 In brief wants that a matter. 总之很想那么一回事。 Ji Yuan such drinks tea, listens to the storytelling sound that side a building is hearing, sometimes will outside have a look. 计缘就这么边喝茶,边听着一楼那边传来的说书声,有时也会看看外头。 „Uncle Ji, that following old man is being on the verge of death good-looking but useless goods, cultivation is superficial, is somewhat eternally grateful at most, meets some martial arts and negligible small technique, do you elect him to do? Could not win my father by him!” “计叔叔,那下面的老头不过是个行将就木的样子货,道行浅薄至极,至多不过有些气感,会一些武功和微末小术,您选他干嘛呀？靠他可是赢不了我爹的！” dragon child could not bear ask finally, dragon daughter was also the similar expression, at first two people think under whether was deeply concealing expert, therefore is bearing the temper looking right and left careful observation, even the dragon child midway also disguise changed, in the going stall searched the actual situation, finally was naturally greatly disappointed. 龙子终于还是忍不住问了,龙女也是差不多表情,起初两人以为下面是否又是个深藏不露的高人,所以耐着性子左看右看细细观察,甚至龙子中途还乔装变化一番,前去摊位上探了探虚实,结果自然是大失所望。 Ji Yuan and old dragon make a bet, chose 1-2 people in the remaining some masters respectively, looked who elects finally can emerge, dragon child and dragon daughter are join in the fun. 计缘和老龙打了个赌,各自在剩下的一些法师中挑选了1-2,看谁选的最终能脱颖而出,龙子和龙女就是来凑热闹的。 „Hey, attractive has not come , came, pays attention to look.” “嘿,好看的还没来呢,喏,来了,注意看着点。” During the Ji Yuan speeches, on below street walks a woman and an overly cautious and prudent man, the diameter walks to the stall of that master. 计缘说话间,下面街道上走过来一个妇女和一个老实巴交的汉子,直径冲着那个法师的摊位走去。 „, Is this!” “当家的,就是这！” „!” “哦哦哦！” That complied with several rarely, before arriving at the stall, about looked, then pū passed one to kneel down, the nearby woman also knelt in side together. 那难得应了几声,走到摊位前,左右看了看,然后噗通一声跪下了,边上的妇女也一起跪在旁边。 „Many thanks the Grandmaster saved us” “多谢大师救了我们呀” The man is seemingly simple-hearted, the voice is big, the surrounding pedestrian has a scare. 那男子看似木讷,嗓门却不小,一下吧周围的行人都吓了一跳。 The master after stall stands immediately, bypasses the stall to support by the arm two people. 摊位后的法师则立刻站起来,绕过摊位来搀扶两人。 „Two why line of this big rituals, in a big hurry please!” “两位何必行此大礼,快快请啊！” „No, Grandmaster you to our family/home great kindness, is not willing to receive the wealth that my young married woman brings, not thinks that the report can only kneel thanking kindness!” “不,大师您对我们家恩同再造,又不肯收我婆娘带来的钱财,无以为报只能长跪谢恩啊！” „How this causes, how this causes! Gives me to get up!” “这如何使得,这如何使得！给我起来！” The Grandmaster both hands ample capacity, drew a man and a woman, two people want to kneel again, actually cannot put together a Grandmaster strength. 大师双手运力,一声声将一男一女拉了起来,两人想要再次跪下去,却始终拼不过大师一手之力。 Many people discuss spiritedly, does not know that this Grandmaster made anything, making the couple so excited. 很多人议论纷纷,不知道这大师做了什么,让夫妇这么激动。 „Yeah, money does not receive, kneels does not let kneel, how the Grandmaster your graciousness of we reported! The everyone folks, how you saying us reported!” “哎,钱又不收,跪也不让跪,大师您的恩我们怎么报啊！诸位父老乡亲,你们给说说我们怎么报啊！” Had the busybody of surrounding to follow said one. 有围拢的好事者就这么顺着说了一句。 „What did Grandmasters help your?” “大师都帮了你们什么啊？” „Yes, said.” „I.e .” “是啊,说说呗。”“就是说啊。” After the men see the Grandmaster already is sighing to shake the head to return to the stall, then with tells this antecedent that oneself young married woman sings in good voice and with feeling, told how this Grandmaster helps them eliminate the risk to help overcome difficulties, quite somewhat is unreliable the imaginary color, hearing the surrounding person also to express admiration. 男子见大师已经叹着气摇着头回到了摊位后,便同自己婆娘声情并茂的讲述此前事,讲述这大师如何如何帮他们消灾解难,其中还颇有些玄幻色彩,听得周围人也啧啧称奇。 Finally this couple walked very gratefully, passed the most double-hour , the old woman comes to express thanks, similarly does not receive money actually helps, later the young women come the acknowledgment, the master only received ten copper coins. 最后这对夫妇千恩万谢的走了,过了大半个时辰,又有一老妪前来致谢,同样是不收钱却帮了忙,之后再有一年轻女子过来致谢,法师只收了十个铜板。 A day looks, when the master removes the booth time, except for simple considers as finished several lives to the curious person, some probably 45 people expressed thanks, has only collected a money. 一天看下来,等法师撤摊的时候,除了简单给好奇的人算了几个命,大概有四五次有人来致谢,只收过一次钱。 When this master quit work, dragon child and dragon daughter looked at each other in blank dismay, the former had a look at Ji Yuan. 等这法师收摊走了,龙子和龙女面面相觑,前者看看计缘。 „Uncle Ji, was I mistaken?” “计叔叔,难道我看走眼了？” „Hehe, no, walks, has not looked.” “呵呵,非也,走吧,还没看完呢。” Ji Yuan stands, paid the tip directly, leading dragon child dragon daughter to have the streets and alleys to go, walked the figure desalinated, before long arrived in some work place behind a sparsely inhabited shack. 计缘站起来,直接付了茶钱,领着龙子龙女出了街巷而去,边走边身形淡化,不一会就到达了某坊内一处人烟稀少的窝棚后面。 „Aii, the Grandmaster I display how?” „Good good!” “哎哎,大师我表现的怎么样？”“不错不错！” „I, my!” „!” “还有我,我的呢！”“给！” „Thanks the Grandmaster, thanks the Grandmaster!” “谢谢大师,谢谢大师！” ...... …… Ji Yuan brings dragon child dragon daughter is arriving at the time, seen before is, these common people who expressed thanks, is drawing cash from the Grandmaster hand, was broken silver and big copper coin. 计缘带着龙子龙女到的时候,看到的就是之前来致谢的那些百姓,正从大师手上拿钱,都是碎银子和大通宝。 „Is this also good?” “这样也行？” dragon child looks at this, turns the head to look to Ji Yuan. 龙子愣愣的看着这一幕,转头望向计缘。 „Uncle Ji, is he must bully Monarch in the mortal? Did not fear that decapitates?” “计叔叔,他在凡人中算是要欺君吧？不怕杀头吗？” Ji Yuan smiles, leaves behind a few words to turn around to leave. 计缘笑了笑,留下一句话就转身离开。 „Is how similar to the cardinal virtues emperor.” “与元德帝何其相似也。” dragon child frowns, looks to dragon daughter. 龙子皱起眉头,看向龙女。 „little sister, do you understand?” “小妹,你听懂吗？” Ying Ruoli also knit the brows to consider, looked again to that in the master who drew cash from the purse, although features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality actually also skinny old. 应若璃也是皱眉思量了一下,再次望向那个正在从钱袋里拿钱出去的法师,虽仙风道骨却也枯瘦苍老。 „Uncle Ji possibly said, this person arrived at the present, for ‚seals’, does not fear that decapitated.” “计叔叔可能是说,这人到了如今,为了一个‘封正’,已经不怕杀头了。” „, Will our father lose?” “呃,那咱爹会输？” dragon daughter stared dragon child ill-humoredly. 龙女没好气的瞪了一眼龙子。 That that „our father chooses has the real skill, how to lose? I feel that, compared with Uncle Ji, our father was cheats!” “咱爹选的那个是有真本事的,怎么输？我觉着和计叔叔一比,咱爹算是作弊了！” „That is the tie!” “那就是平局咯！” dragon child smiles, turns around to leave. 龙子笑笑,也转身离开。 ... 。。。 In August 30 are the birthdays of Great Zhen cardinal virtues emperor, therefore on this day is also the long life festival. 八月三十是大贞元德皇帝的生辰,所以这一天也是万寿节。 The entire imperial palace is decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, various palace inside and outside places have the busy palace lady, the imperial kitchens and some relevant positions, are the date and time start to get ready for this day sooner. 整个皇宫张灯结彩,宫殿内外各处都有忙碌的宫人,御膳房和一些相关位置,更是早些时日就开始为这一天准备。 On this day, the whole body of ministers also restrain toward on the morning as far as possible, if not very important and urgent, as far as possible not Emperor report/give Zouling unhappy matter. 这一天,群臣在早朝上也是尽量克制,如果不是非常重要且紧急,尽量不会禀奏令皇帝不开心的事。 Waited for the discussing politics stage quickly on the past, in the palace the whole body of ministers were also peaceful. 等议政阶段很快就过去,殿中群臣也都安静下来。 The cardinal virtues emperor looks to the dragon chair old court eunuch. 元德帝望向龙椅边的老太监。 „Master declares come.” “宣法师们进来把。” The old court eunuch bows slightly the nod, then deeply inspires, aspirates tall declares. 老太监微微躬身点头,然后深吸一口气,吐气高宣。 „Proclaimed, the water and land Way Conference everyone wizard entered the palace!” “宣,水陆法会诸位大法师进殿！” Outside outside the palace also has the palace lady to repeat loudly. 外头殿外也有宫人高声复述。 „Proclaimed, the water and land Way Conference everyone wizard entered the palace!” “宣,水陆法会诸位大法师进殿！” After three rounds, in the whole body of ministers goal gaze of surface outside under toward the palace, there are court eunuch to get young group of people to bridge over the palace gate to enter the main hall. 三轮之后,在群臣面朝殿外侧目的注视下,有太监领着一小群人跨过殿门进入大殿。 In the whole body of ministers some people narrow the eye, some people reveal smile, some people of cold snort/hum, some people are curious. 群臣中有人眯眼,有人露笑,有人冷哼,也有人好奇。 In the person of coming in has the monk to be correct to have always has few, even an attire tattered old beggar, altogether has 16 people. 进来的人中有僧有道有老有少,甚至还有一个衣着破烂的老乞丐,总共有十六人之多。 The emperor is also narrows the eyes above shortly under. 皇帝在上头也是眯眼看着下方。 One group of people stand firm, salutes toward above in abundance. 一群人站定,纷纷朝着上头行礼。 „See your majesty, your majesty long live!” “参见陛下,陛下万岁万岁万万岁！” „Dispense with ceremony!” “免礼！” „Thanked your majesty!” “谢陛下！” Has saying that under examines carefully, masters are full of energy the complexion to be quiet, at least no one shows one's ignorance, most noticeable naturally is the old beggar, without the means that his is extremely really incompatible. 不得不说,细看之下,一个个法师都精神抖擞面色平静,至少都没人露怯,最引人注目的自然就是老乞丐,没办法,就他一个实在太过格格不入。 „Is expert that Cherished Minister Yan, your strength recommends which?” “言爱卿,你力荐的高人是哪一位啊？” Yan Chang more numerous, holds the jade tablet to salute. 言常越众而出,持圭行礼。 „Reported your majesty, the slightly feudal official recommended Venerable Lu the surface Saint, was this position!” “禀陛下,微臣举荐鲁老先生面圣,正是此位！” Yan Chang unexpectedly that beggar who puts out a hand to refer , was also makes Imperial Court regard him to feel the surprise for the certain officials of crafty feudal official. 言常伸手所指的居然那位乞丐,也是令朝中早就视他为奸佞之臣的某些官员觉得诧异。 The cardinal virtues emperor has a look at Yan Chang, takes a look at this beggar again carefully. 元德帝看看言常,再细细打量这位乞丐。 „Do you have what magical powers magic arts?” “你有何神通法术啊？” The old beggar goes forward one step, pours not like common sluggish, arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest toward the emperor, the matter that said actually has nothing to do with emperor's inquiry. 老乞丐上前一步,倒也不是像寻常一样懒散,朝着皇帝拱了拱手,说的事情却和皇帝的提问无关。 „Old beggar I am prompted by a sudden impulse, prepares to accept two apprentices, experiencing suffering world distress, to always drinks to the dregs a at a young age the mortal world splendor, my aware this water and land Way Conference perhaps is a turning point, asked that your majesty, whether is willing to give up under your dragon chair?” “老叫花子我心血来潮,准备收两个徒弟,一个自小受尽人间苦楚,一个到老享尽人世荣华,我自觉这场水陆法会或许算是一个契机,问陛下一句,是否愿放弃你那座下龙椅？” „Bold!” „Dissolute!” “大胆！”“放肆！” „What is Venerable Lu you talking nonsense? Apologized to your majesty in a big hurry!” “鲁老先生您在胡说什么？快快向陛下谢罪啊！” „Dares to offend the monarch!” “胆敢冒犯君上！” „Rubs...” „Rubs...” „Rubs...”...... “蹭…”“蹭…”“蹭…”…… The nearby whole body of ministers glower, Yan Chang is the cold sweat is also intermittent, these masters are also subconscious far away from this old beggar, the Imperial Palace guards are at daggers drawn. 边上群臣怒目而视,言常也是冷汗阵阵,就连那些法师也下意识远离这个老乞丐,大内侍卫更是剑拔弩张。 dragon Yigao sits, the cardinal virtues emperor depresses anger cold sound to inquire. 龙椅高坐上,元德帝压下怒意冷声询问。 „Said that you do have the law of immortality?” “这么说你有长生不死之法？” After the old beggar knits the brows the thinking, shakes the head the reply. 老乞丐皱眉思索后摇了摇头回答。 „And all the law of dying.” “并无不死之法。” „Then can result in surpasses the power and influence riches and honor in position of my emperor, obtains free and unfettered that exceeds 95 to revere?” “那么能得超过寡人天子之位的权势富贵,获得超越九五之尊的逍遥？” Thinks, since the senior emperor sought the immortal eagerly, then oneself so asked that although seemed like inappropriate, opposite party also this/should serious by to matter, may be somewhat contrary to what expects, this emperor as if a wee bit disobeyed continually cannot accommodate...... 原以为既然老皇帝急于求仙,那么自己这般问虽然看似不合适,对方也该郑重以对才事,可有些事与愿违,这皇帝似乎连丁点违逆都容不得啊...... Old beggar complexion pale. 老乞丐脸色淡了下来。 „This free and unfettered, feared that is not good.” “此种逍遥,怕是也不行。” „, If I from the dragon chair, the position of suspension, national affairs unmanned handling also do have what Jie on this day?” “哦,那若寡人从龙椅上下来,这天子之位悬置,国家大事无人处置又有何解？” The old beggar is unemotional. 老乞丐已经面无表情。 „Country cannot one day not have Monarch, and Great Zhen or may the potential, naturally yield all day long to the imperial prince, the emperor age also arrived.” “国不可一日无君,且大贞或可成天势,自然是让位给皇子,皇上年岁也到了。” Under the cardinal virtues emperor swept a everyone imperial prince, the anger upwelled in the heart to consider many, at this moment was the air/Qi instead smiles extremely. 元德帝扫了一眼诸位皇子,怒意上涌之下心中更是思量了许许多多,此刻是气极反笑。 „Hehe...... ha hahahaha...... Yan Chang, is this person who you recommended?” “呵呵呵……哈哈哈哈哈……言常,这就是你举荐的人？” „Your majesty! Feudal official heinous crime! Feudal official heinous crime!” “陛下！臣罪该万死！臣罪该万死！” Too often causes to frighten directly kneels down, holds the jade tablet to kotow crouches/submits Di not to dare to set out. 太常使吓得直接跪倒在地,持圭叩首伏低不敢起身。
