In teahouse. 茶楼之内。 Jian Yuanzi drinks tea silently, on the face appears color looking pensive: „Only by the experience, the matter of Wu Town has bright prospects...... is only the master wants the stratagem to seize Wu Zhi king's aura, this bad risk is unusual, but must have a look at this female meteorology OK!” 剑元子默默品茗,脸上浮现出若有所思之色:“仅以所见所闻来看,武镇之事大有可为……只是师父欲谋夺武雉王气,这凶险非常,还得看看此女气象才可！” „Is good because of this city is the civil and military envoy mansion is , the teahouse approaches Great Dao, so long as waits for silently, can always see one time!” “好在此城乃是节度使府所在,茶居又临近大道,只要默默守候,总能见着一次！” Has this thought that he in the Clear Phoenix Prefecture city, strolled every day, most of the time tea to eat the dessert in the teahouse, pouring also mixed a face to be ripe with other frequent guests silently. 带着这个念头,他就在楚凤郡城中住了下来,每日闲逛,大多时候都在茶居中饮茶吃点心,倒也默默跟其它熟客混了个脸熟。 pang! 乓！ On this day, he just took a seat, the storytelling mister who hears the teahouse center pats the gavel: „Other day the book helped go down in the world the officer speaking of " Great Zhou Western Region Record » 30 th 30% discount double chivalry, the traveler/ascetic gets angry murders the black bear king, the words says......” 这一日,他刚刚落座,就听得茶居中心的说书先生一拍惊堂木:“上回书说到《大周西域记》第三十七折双侠义助落魄官,行者怒弑黑熊王,话说……” This old man storytelling is vivid, immediately obtains the full house to cheer, once in a while has the people of several wealthy family Young master appearances, threw the copper coin to hit to enjoy, making the old man express one's thanks again and again. 这老者说书绘声绘色,立时获得满堂喝彩,间或有着几个富家公子模样的人,扔了铜钱打赏,令老者连连称谢。 Jian Yuanzi knows, before this storyteller some days, then here, because can gather the customer, the teahouse boss does not catch up with the person, very offering mutual benefit and achieving common progress some flavors. 剑元子知道,这说书人几日前便在这里,因为能招揽顾客,茶居老板也不赶人,很是有些互惠互利的味道。 However this trade, is not piping time of peace, is unable to exist, has this, explained that Prefecture City inside petty bourgeois, has several spare cash this seriously is the administrative style and achievements of local officials pure brightness, oppressed not the ruthless evidence. 不过这行当,不是太平盛世,根本无法存在,有着这个,说明郡城里面的小市民,当真有着几个闲钱这又是吏治清明,压迫不狠的佐证了。 Jian Yuanzi listened to several, knows that this storyteller was saying, is at present a very hot novel, named «Great Zhou Western Region Record», his outside state time, as if has also heard several in the teahouse wineshop. 剑元子又听了几句,知道这说书人在说的,乃是时下挺火的一部小说,名为《大周西域记》,他在外州的时候,似乎也在茶楼酒肆中听到过几句。 It is said this book issue document light white, easy to understand, quite vivid interesting, actually high prevalence, even also causes several celebrities to write preface for it. 据说此书行文浅白,通俗易懂,又颇为生动有趣,倒是大大流行了一番,甚至还引得几个名人为其作序。 The author given name is unknown, was an unusual happening. 只是作者名讳却不为人知,也是一桩奇事了。 He is interested in it, because listened to several, knows that in practice divides exhaustively, the textual criticism is sufficient, the author must have really cultivation in the person of body without doubt, this paid attention to a point. 他之所以对其感兴趣,还是因为听了几句,知道内中修炼划分详尽,考据充分,作者必是有真修行在身的人无疑,这才留意了一点。 Overall, but also is only some illusory dynasty opens up territory to expand the earth the story, once in a while doped a Divine Ghost will different, probably is pastime of some practice at fingertips behavior, cannot be regarded anything. 总体而言,还只是某个虚幻朝代开疆扩土的故事,间或掺杂了一点神鬼志异,大概是某个修炼者信手所为的消遣,也算不得什么。 However Jian Yuanzi wait/etc. resulted is not this, he sat for quite a while, pot tea soaked soaked, until without least bit flavor of tea time, an outside tumult, a sound heard on the biography suddenly, making his whole body quickly grasp the meaning of something. 不过剑元子等得的也不是这个,他坐了半天,一壶茶泡了又泡,直到没有半点茶味的时候,外面忽然一阵骚动,一个声音就传入耳中,令他浑身一个激灵。 „civil and military envoy took advantage!” “节度使依仗过来了！” On the street the carriages and horses made noise, Jian Yuanzi represses excitement at heart, pretended to cast aside unknowingly excessively. 街道上车马喧嚣,剑元子则是按捺住心里的激动,装作不经意间撇过头。 „Harnesses!” “驾驾！” civil and military envoy has one to commend one, drafts specially kills specially, dignified grand, the journey is dozens cavalries openings. 节度使有一旌一节,专征专杀,威严隆重,出行便是数十骑兵开路。 Nearby pedestrian withdraws, is too busy makes way. 旁边行人退避,忙不迭地让开。 „Came!” “来了！” Jian Yuanzi, sees the frame process actually, immediately closes the eye, silent secret technique. 倒是剑元子,见到车架经过,立即闭上眼睛,默秘法。 ‚Although this Wu Zhi Destiny is grand, the situation has become, peeps at rashly has backlash inevitably, but my these four likely discernment are sect secret inheritance, although cannot look at the detailed foundation, but will not be specifically bad......’ ‘虽然这武雉气运隆重,大势已成,冒然窥视必然有着反噬,但我这四象法眼乃是宗门秘传,虽然看不得详细根基,但具体也不会太差……’ In his eyes has a blurred brilliance, suddenly looks toward the frame on. 他双眼中带着一层迷离的光彩,忽然往车架上望去。 The civil and military envoy frame, the nature is magnificent , the cowl and car axle inlay the gold/metal to inlay silver, the surroundings have Fire Phoenix Guard handful of sword accompanying. 节度使车架,自然华丽非常,车辕与车轴镶金嵌银,周围还有火凤卫捧剑随行。 Bang! 轰隆！ Falls in the Jian Yuanzi eye, is actually another picture. 落在剑元子眼中的,却是另外一副画面。 hū hū! 呼呼！ In him, the air/Qi of a trace silk golden and azure appears from the guard of honor, gathers in the sky, forms all colors auspicious clouds, brings gold/metal iron murderous aura, regarding Dao Cultivator pressure incomparable. 在他目中,一丝丝金青之气自仪仗队中浮现,汇聚于上空,形成五彩祥云,带着金铁杀伐之气,对于修道者的压力无与伦比。 „Roar roar!” “吼吼！” auspicious clouds separates suddenly, appears a chi dragon that does not have corner/horn four claws, on each claw gives birth to three feet, the whole body has the mark of scarlet cloud, at this time clear recited one, a Shuanglong eye transferred. 祥云蓦然分开,浮现出一条无角四爪的螭龙,每个爪上生出三趾,浑身带着赤云之纹,这时清吟一声,一双龙目就转了过来。 „It is not good!” “不好！” Jian Yuanzi receives the merit immediately, does to the both eyes severe pain, such as suffers a fire to burn, knew or received backlash, carries the teacup hastily, wipes off the extravasated blood taking advantage of the movement of tea. 剑元子立即收功,奈何双目剧痛,如遭火焚,知道还是受了反噬,连忙端起茶杯,借着饮茶的动作将淤血擦掉。 „Destiny is generous, unexpectedly already achievement chi dragon?” “气运隆厚,居然已经成就了螭龙？” Scarlet chi, female dragon! Wu Zhi this, coordinates the places of four county again, in the future Ding Province will be hard to overturn absolutely, called the king organization system, was commonplace. 赤螭,雌龙也！武雉得此相,再配合四郡之地,未来定州绝对难以翻盘,称王建制,也是等闲尔。 „It seems like...... this female development as if has bright prospects, when I the remonstration master, does not need to kill the chicken to get the eggs anxiously......” “如此看来……此女发展似乎大有可为的,我当劝谏师父,不必急着杀鸡取卵……” Jian Yuanzi is thinking silently, suddenly quickly grasps the meaning of something: „It is not good! Cannot think that the strength of Dragon Qi so fearsome, unexpectedly even I started to affect......” 剑元子默默想着,忽然又是一个激灵:“不好！想不到龙气之力如此可怖,居然连我都开始影响了……” He set out, settled accounts the tip, went out of the teahouse, looked at the sky, suddenly was somewhat at a loss: „Teacher...... hopes choice that you make, is correct, otherwise I four look like Dao Lineage, perhaps really has the calamity of tilting......” 他起身,结算了茶钱,走出茶居,看了看天空,忽然又有些迷惘:“师尊啊……希望您所做的抉择,是正确的吧,否则我四象道统,恐怕真的有着倾覆之祸啊……” ...... …… „Well? madam?” “咦？夫人？” civil and military envoy takes advantage enormously and powerful, stopped in front of the Wu Family fort. 节度使依仗一路浩浩荡荡,在吴家堡前面才停了下来。 Wu Ming looks to appear in oneself front Wu Zhi, is actually some slightly surprise: „Why to come this?” 吴明看着出现在自己面前的武雉,却是略微有些诧异:“何故来此？” „This place is the this mistress family/home, why can't come?” “此地乃是妾身的家,为何不可来？” Wu Zhi white Wu Ming, sits down in side: „And...... husband must take a concubine, Beautiful and cheerful as the big woman, deserves to manage!” 武雉白了吴明一眼,自顾自地在旁边坐下:“并且……夫君要纳妾,娥姁身为大妇,该当来主持才是呢！” „This......
