‚Is fat sheep, a double reed?’ ‘肥羊,还是双簧？’ Zhong Shenxiu maintains composure, but pulled out the stopper of black small bottle, poured a powder. 钟神秀不动声色,只是拔开了黑色小瓶的瓶塞,倒出一点粉末。 Nearby itinerant peddler said the saliva horizontally to fly: „Frankly, the powder of this merman, so long as selects the fingernail size each time a little, swallows about the liquor, then can the vivid several double-hour......” 旁边的货郎说得唾沫横飞:“实不相瞒,这鲛人之粉,只要每次挑上指甲盖大小的那么一点,合酒吞服,便能生龙活虎数个时辰啊……” „Really is the wonderful thing, wonderful thing!” “果然是妙物,妙物！” Qi Yuan nods again and again: „Joy fragrant building came elder sister recently recently newly, that waist and that figure...... simply! After having such educational toy, must be able to kill her to kneel begs for mercy......” 齐元连连点头:“怡香楼最近最近新来了一位姐儿,那腰、那身段……简直了！有了此等恩物后,必能杀得她跪地求饶……” „If the powder of merman scale, that is also worth......” “若是鲛人鳞片之粉,那倒也值得……” Zhong Shenxiu shoots a look at book child one eyes that cried sharp-eyed, said: „Your this...... seems like the porgy bonedust.” 钟神秀瞥了眼快哭出来的书童一眼,还是道:“不过你这个……似乎是海猴子的骨粉啊。” „Porgy?” “海猴子？” The surrounding several viewer expressions change. 周围几个看客表情一变。 This is evil spirit in a legend, lives in the sea, likes dragging in entering the sea to be drown to death while still alive, eats uncooked the brains again. 这是一种传说中的妖魔,生活在大海之中,喜欢将人拖入海中活活淹死,再生吃脑髓。 „Porgy, name ‚river child’, its bonedust, although also has the effect of intense urging sentiment, actually fells the source, without the powder of merman fortifies yang simultaneously, but can also consolidate the really Yang effect...... even, if takes many, takes off/escapes the Yang distress...... the value to sell at a discount greatly, your bottle, most multiple-valued 50 angle copper.” “海猴子,又称‘河童’,其骨粉虽然也有强烈的催情之效,却是砍伐本源,没有鲛人之粉壮阳同时,还能巩固真阳的奇效……甚至,如果服用过多,还有脱阳之厄啊……价值大打折扣,你这一瓶,最多值五十个铜角子。” Zhong Shenxiu shakes the head to say. 钟神秀摇摇头道。 This experience, since 【Four Seas Wonderful Scripture】 In the hand-written copy looks like. 这点见识,还是从【四海奇经】的手抄本中看来的。 Although the author copies scattered about, proper magical arts only has two, but various assorted stories, recorded actually much. 虽然作者抄得七零八落,正经法术只有两道,但各种杂七杂八的见闻,倒是记载了不少。 Some especially seas live strange thing, made Zhong Shenxiu open a vision actually. 特别是一些海生奇物,倒是让钟神秀开了一番眼界。 „50 angle copper?” “五十个铜角？” On the itinerant peddler face flashes through startled, called out: „My this is the authentic merman scale powder, is not porgy......” 货郎脸上闪过一丝惊慌,叫道:“我这可是正宗的鲛人鳞粉,可不是什么海猴子……” „Yes? The merman scale, the combustion must have the fragrance, the porgy bonedust, after the ignition , is actually the fishy smell stink, can try?” “是么？鲛人鳞片,燃烧必有香气,海猴子的骨粉,点燃之后却是腥臭味,要不要试一试？” On the Zhong Shenxiu face the faint smile asked. 钟神秀脸上似笑非笑地问道。 „50 copper are too few, at least also takes a silver dollar.” Itinerant peddler last-ditch struggle said. “五十个铜子太少,起码也要一块银元吧。”货郎最后挣扎道。 The Qi Yuan complexion changes, how not to understand oneself were really swindled, but also was almost a chapter of fool? 齐元面色一变,如何不明白自己真的上当了,还差点当了一回冤大头？ „On 50 angle copper, likes wanting.” “就五十个铜角,爱要不要。” Zhong Shenxiu flings a row of change, is looking at the itinerant peddler. 钟神秀甩出一排小钱,望着货郎。 „Oh...... today met the expert.” “唉……今日遇上行家了。” The itinerant peddlers sighed, gave Zhong Shenxiu the small bottle, tidied up the burden/shoulder pole, said goodbye submissively. 货郎叹息一声,将小瓶递给钟神秀,收拾了担子,拱手告辞。 ‚This person...... perhaps in some contacts with sea, is a path. First puts the bait to hang......’ ‘这人……或许与海中有些联系,也是条路子。先放饵吊着吧……’ Zhong Shenxiu is looking at his back, smiles not to speak. 钟神秀望着他的背影,笑而不语。 „This brother experience vastly, made one admire seriously.” “这位兄台见识广博,当真令人佩服。” Qi Yuan sits down opposite of Zhong Shenxiu directly: „The graciousness of reminder, thanked in this moment ago, hasn't consulted your Gao given name?” 齐元直接在钟神秀对面坐下:“刚才还有提醒之恩,在此谢过,还没有请教兄台高姓大名？” „Fang Lang!” “方浪！” Zhong Shenxiu received the bottle, replied calmly: „Is this young master the foreign student?” 钟神秀收了瓶子,平静回答:“这位公子是洋学生？” „Good, liked the novel thing below since childhood, afterward was begging the father, sending to the Western abroad study, does to that side mysterious person completely to have to form association...... is the home boys is extremely then difficult to enter, let alone my foreigner!” “不错,在下自幼喜欢新奇之物,后来央求着父亲,给送去了西洋留学,奈何那边的神秘人士尽皆有着结社……便是本国人都极难进入,更别说我这个外国人了！” Qi Yuan smiles bitterly: „After waiting till the graduation, I then returned to Great Zhou, the preparation continued to seek the immortal to ask......” 齐元苦笑一声:“等到结业之后,我便回了大周,准备继续寻仙问道……” „oneself have to ask heart of , doing to...... really cultivates is indistinctly difficult to seek.” “本人也有求道之心,奈何……真修缥缈难寻啊。” Zhong Shenxiu also discussed with Qi Yuan several, the demeanor and makings, and style of speaking, made Qi Yuan believe that later proposed one. 钟神秀又与齐元谈了几句,风度、气质、以及谈吐,都令齐元心折,随后提了一句。 „Really cultivates? Has a news below here actually, three days later, east the nearby 20 li (0.5 km), keeps the immortal town/subdues, there has a Daoist priest, must open the door to accept the disciple!” “真修？在下这里倒是有个消息,三天之后,附近东面二十里,有一个留仙镇,那里有一位道长,要开门收徒呢！” Qi Yuan said: „I personally see that Daoist priest to display magical arts, has the real skill, if brother have this heart, three days later how do we travel together?” 齐元道:“我亲眼见过那位道长施展法术,却是个有真本事的,兄台若有此心,三天之后我们同行如何？” ‚Really is a triumphant child!’ ‘真是个凯子！’ ‚No wonder I felt that he messed with some aura, but non- depth!’ ‘难怪我感觉他沾惹了一些气息,但是不深！’ Zhong Shenxiu got down the judgment at heart, on the face showed the smile: „Naturally goes together, goes together!” 钟神秀心里下了论断,脸上露出笑容:“自然同去,同去！” ...... …… After three days . 三日之后。 Keeps outside the immortal old town, Zhong Shenxiu and Qi Yuan got down the carriage, is looking at the motley construction, puts out long air/Qi. 留仙古镇外,钟神秀与齐元下了马车,望着斑驳的建筑,纷纷吐出一口长气。 The carriage is bumpy, does not feel better. 马车一路颠簸,并不好受。 „That ‚residence’ Daoist priest, is truly has the skill, once demonstrated the magic arts, paper-cut to become moon/month, jumps down a female celestial from the Moon Palace......” “那位‘居留子’道长,是个真正有本事的,曾演示道法,剪纸成月,从月宫中跳下来一位仙女啊……” Qi Yuan said both eyes to shine, his time is to run away, writes continuously the children not to have the belt/bring: „If I can do obeisance into the immortal gate, only studies this, was content very much.” 齐元说得双目放光,他这次是偷跑出来,连书童都没带:“若我能拜入仙门,只学这一手,也很知足了。” Zhong Shenxiu hears, is simply speechless. 钟神秀听得,简直无语。 At this moment, the roadside has several steeds to speed along to come, its potential is incomparable, saw unexpectedly has the person, does not decelerate to give way to traffic. 就在这时,路边有几匹骏马飞驰而来,其势无匹,竟然看到道边有人,也丝毫不减速避让。 „Goes away to me!” “给我滚开！” From the steed, the female brandishes the horsewhip, pulled out. 从骏马之上,有一女挥舞马鞭,就抽了过来。 Zhong Shenxiu Qi Yuan, this danger strategic place will evade this whip in the future, the air/Qi results in Qi Yuan to see after these knights walk, this shouted abuse: „I bah...... these Jianghu people, one by one depended to study two times, was domineering and tyrannical, should kill seriously!” 钟神秀将齐元往后一拉,这才险之又险地躲过这一鞭子,气得齐元看到那些骑士走后,这才破口大骂:“我呸……这些江湖人士,一个个仗着学了两手功夫,就横行霸道,当真该杀！” „Originally is the Jianghu person.” “原来是江湖人。” Zhong Shenxiu nods, thinks that the opposite party vigor installs to dress up, the waist is bulging, indeed is the appearance of martial arts world person, said with a smile: „Is it possible that do they also to reside come?” 钟神秀点点头,想到对方劲装打扮,腰间鼓鼓囊囊的,的确就是武林人士的样子,不由笑道:“他们莫非也是为了居留子而来？” ! 啪！ Qi Yuan clapped, called out: „Cannot make them forestall!” 齐元一拍手,叫道:“可不能让他们抢先！” Immediately is drawing Zhong Shenxiu, enters the old town in a hurry. 当即拉着钟神秀,匆匆进入古镇。 Above the old town, the giant dwellings, the entrance had stopped many people at this time. 在古镇之上,有一处巨大的宅院,此时门口已经停了不少人。 The Jianghu person of that several fresh clothes high-spirited horses, is one of them impressively, three male and one female, the heroic spirit thrives, somewhat looks at the people such as the flavor of ants. 那几个鲜衣怒马的江湖人士,赫然就在其中,三男一女,英气勃发,又有些看众人如蝼蚁的味道。 If the opposite party is Celestial Immortal . 若对方是仙人,也就罢了。 But Zhong Shenxiu looked at the past, only saw several vitalities compared with the military person of average person slightly strong point...... 但钟神秀看过去,只见到几个气血比普通人略微强点的武夫…… Besides them, many Jianghu person and rich merchant tyrannical gentry, this residence accepts the disciple obviously, the momentum is very big. 除了他们之外,还有很多江湖人士、富商豪绅,显然这一次居留子收徒,声势挺大。 „Clever young, you can certainly pays respects Rulao the deity hanger-on, look at these people in a big way, the age one, but also feels all right to seek the immortal?” “乖仔,你一定可以拜入老神仙门下的,看这些人,年纪都一大把了,还好意思来求仙？” A landlord landlord common fatty, puts on the silks and satins, is coaxing an own greatly fat son. 一名地主老财一般的胖子,穿着绫罗绸缎,哄着自己的一个大胖儿子。 At this moment, the front door one opens loudly, an old man of features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality stands in the entrance, said smilingly: „This poor Daoist residence, opens the door to accept the disciple today, you and other being predestined friends people, may enter the hall, listens to the old viewpoints, selects his superior to record......” 就在这时,大门轰然一下打开,一名仙风道骨的老者站在门口,笑盈盈道:“贫道居留子,今日开门收徒,尔等有缘人,可入正堂,听老道讲法,择其优者而录之……” „Old deity is bright!” “老神仙敞亮！” The beforehand that helps in the Jianghu person, a azure clothes swordsman holds the Fist Dao: „Leaves below crane plume sword grandson, these below becoming sworn brothers brother and sister, even if cannot the step into Dao long hanger-on, wants effect serve somebody faithfully......” 之前的那帮江湖人中,一名青衣剑手抱拳道:“在下鹤翎剑孙出,这几位是在下的结义兄妹,哪怕不能入道长门下,也愿意效犬马之劳……” This saying said flatters, does not want the facial skin simply, lets some people and others rolled the eyes at the same time, how also hated to be forestalled secretly. 这话说得谄媚,简直不要脸皮,让一干人等翻白眼的同时,又暗恨怎么被抢先了。 Zhong Shenxiu and Qi Yuan smile, enters the mansion, passed by leaving uncultivated some gardens, arrived at the great hall. 钟神秀与齐元相视一笑,进入大宅,路过一处有些荒废的花园,就到了大堂。 This great hall is broad, may accommodate hundred people, all around has the table, one group of people sit, residence old ranks the head high, starts to speak: „This nihility, empty of obtaining enlightenment, may melt invisible to have, the easy birds, to ride the phoenix crane and seat Jiaojing......” 这大堂广阔,可容纳百人,四周都有桌案,一群人席地而坐,居留子老道高居上首,开始宣讲:“道本虚无,得道之虚者,可化无形为有,易鸟兽、骑凤鹤、席蛟鲸……” „Covers the sidereal revolution changes, I for the myriad things, the myriad things may for me, my, in change the pinworm and roundworm, outside zheng louse and flea, jia turtle and fish, fistula mouse and ant......” “盖周天之变,我为万物,万物可为我,我之一身,内变蛲、蛔,外烝虱、蚤,瘕则龟、鱼,瘘则鼠、螘……” The sound is dark, has the inconceivable strength. 其音冥冥,带着不可思议之力。 In the hall the people, perform all such as hears Miaojing, hears as if deluded, the look is gradually blurred. 堂中众人,尽皆如闻妙经,听得如痴如醉,眼神渐渐迷离。 In the Zhong Shenxiu surface also fits out to hear fascinated, in the eye has dark radiance to flash through. 钟神秀表面上也装成听得入迷,眼中有幽暗光华闪过。 In his eyes, the residence old thin facial features, become the distortion suddenly, fierce...... the opposite party shoulder spot, two giant sarcoma braved, inside as if also some innumerable bugs sneak in drill...... 在他眼中,居留子老道清癯的面容,蓦然变得扭曲、狰狞……对方肩膀部位,两个巨大的肉瘤冒了出来,内里似乎还有无数小虫钻进钻出…… Inexplicable tree root whiskers, passed through resided the child body, making him raise the line puppet just like one. 一根根莫名的树根触须,贯穿了居留子身躯,令他宛若一个提线木偶。
