„what He!” “何禾！” In scripture hall, solemn and respectful stern, the Huayang handymen in buddhist temple read the first name, simple review: „Last month the monthly examination result first, should be selected.” 经堂内,肃穆端严,华阳道人念出了第一个名字,简单点评:“上月月考成绩第一,理应入选。” „Apologized to the abbot / abbess!” The little misses bend down to salute. “谢过住持！”小姑娘俯身行礼。 Others look in the eye, although has the meaning of envying , there is nothing to be astonished and discontented. Others performance are obvious to all, is expected. 旁人看在眼中,虽带着羡慕之意,却没什么惊异和不满。人家的表现有目共睹,早在意料之中。 „slow Ziying!” “徐子瑛！” Huayang also read the second name, said: „Monthly examination result second, may be selected.” 华阳又念出第二个名字,道:“月考成绩第二,可入选。” „Thanks the management!” slow Ziying said. “谢谢主持！”徐子瑛道。 „Nie Zhaoyuan!” “聂兆元！” „White incense pavilion!” “白香亭！” He selected two boys, the former is the monthly examination third, although latter not in front row, but usually performs well, pours also passably. 他又点了两个男孩子,前者是月考第三,后者虽然不在前列,但平日表现优异,倒也说得过去。 Four people cross, the atmosphere is instantaneously tight, only remains a quota, the little guys are hoping eagerly, hopes that can call itself. 四人一过,气氛瞬间紧张起来,仅剩一个名额,小萝卜头们都眼巴巴的盼着,希望能叫到自己。 But Huayang takes a fast look around, opens the mouth slowly, says the name that no one has thought of: „Lin Junlong!” 而华阳扫视一圈,缓缓开口,却是道出一个谁也没想到的名字:“林俊龙！” Buzz! 嗡！ The audience discuss spiritedly immediately, can ignore the scripture hall discipline, quarrelled the mixed piece. Even Lin Junlong is surprised, his score on the test is not good, is not usually prominent, does not have the personal connection, will be pounded by the pie for the wool? 全场顿时议论纷纷,顾不得经堂戒律,吵杂一片。连林俊龙自己都非常惊讶,他考试成绩不好,平时也不突出,更没有好人缘,为毛会被馅饼砸到？ „Silence!” “肃静！” side Chengzi knits the brows drinks fiercely, the sound wave through a big tuba, bang the launch, then spreads probably rapidly. The children only think the eardrum to tremble, is quite uncomfortable, covers the ear to shut up hastily. 方成子皱眉猛喝,声波好像通过一只大大的铜喇叭,砰的发射出去,然后迅速扩散。孩子们只觉耳膜发颤,极为难受,连忙捂耳闭嘴。 „......” “……” Huayang ancient well without ripples, still simple review: „Although the natural talent is insufficient, but by assiduous diligent, Lin Junlong works as for the view in first, I and Daoist priest discussed, must be selected.” 华阳古井无波,依然简单点评:“虽说天资不足,但论刻苦勤奋,林俊龙当为观中第一,我与诸位道长商议,应当入选。” This seemingly is a reason, the child does not understand, if there is a senior driver to present, can see through. 这貌似算个理由,小孩子不懂,若有老司机在场,一眼就能看穿。 what He comes my impoverished family, the natural talent is extraordinary ; slow Ziying comes the government authorities, the self-quality is quite outstanding ; Nie Zhaoyuan and white incense pavilion family background business wealthy and powerful family, in result on ; Lin Junlong is also my impoverished family, is the grassroots representative of making up for a lack of natural talent by hard work. 何禾出身寒门,天资超绝;徐子瑛出身官家,自身素质相当优秀;聂兆元和白香亭出身商界豪族,成绩中上;林俊龙也是寒门,是勤能补拙的草根代表。 Then, each class looked , will also not cause the retrogradation, can stimulate my impoverished family juniors to be assiduous. 如此一来,各个阶层都照顾到了,既不会引起逆反,也能激发寒门子弟刻苦向上。 „This exchange, 24 ten side jungles can participate, you are led by Priest side Chengzi and clear brightness Daoist priest, the day after tomorrow early morning set off.” “这次交流,二十四个十方丛林都会参加,你们由方成子道长和清慧道长带队,后日一早出发。” Huayang called five people , the injunction said: „By Taiqinggong, transfers Capital City White Cloud Temple, again to Tienchu simultaneous/uniform cloud, traveling schedule approximately 30 days. This time I said that the gate receives 528 practice disciples, has well, has badly, has genially, has domineeringly. You study in March/three months , the arithmetic some negligible abilities, copolymerization, the conflict rubbed unavoidably. Was sure to remember, when should let lets his three points, when cannot let does not need to worry, but cannot cause trouble on own initiative, opens mind and studies the truth, is the goal!” 华阳把五人叫到跟前,嘱咐道:“由太清宫,转京城白云观,再至天柱齐云,行程约三十日。此番我道门共收五百二十八名实习弟子,有好的,有差的,有和善的,有跋扈的。你们修习三月有余,也算学了些微末本领,共聚一处,难免冲突摩擦。切记,该让时让他三分,不能让时也不必顾虑,但不可主动生事,开眼界、学道理,才是此行目的！” „Yes!” Five people said with one voice. “是！”五人齐声道。 ............ ………… Mt.

Tianzhu, more feels cool pleasant. 天门镇也不例外,不过这里有些奇怪:镇子里很热,可越靠近天柱山,越觉得凉爽宜人。 The strength of people are infinite, soon discovered this secret. Thereupon, on the weekend, has the hot dog that from catch up in all directions, makes a special trip to this to enjoy the cool air. 群众的力量是无穷的,很快发现了这个秘密。于是乎,每逢周末,都有从四面八方赶来的热狗们,专程来此纳凉。 Also is mysterious, at the foot of the mountain closed slides the farmhouse, unexpectedly has the sign that the salt fish turned over/stood up. 也非常神奇的,山脚下原本关门的一溜农家乐,居然有了咸鱼翻身的迹象。 „Yo, very early in the morning goes out?” “哟,一大早就出去啊？” „Heard that side has the agricultural garden, we had a look in the past.” “听说那边有个农业园,我们过去看看。” „, That garden leaves the mountain is not far, cool, feels relieved!” “哦,那园子离山不远,凉快,放心去吧！” In a courtyard of household of farmhouse, the proprietress has greeted, looks that the family of three drives to go far away. 一户农家乐的院子里,老板娘打过招呼,看着一家三口开车远去。 The so-called agricultural garden, after is actually the base establishes, a special approval fruit vegetables planter field, by the local common people contracts, is responsible for toward the mountain in transporting. 所谓的农业园,其实是基地建立之后,特批的一个水果蔬菜种植场,由当地百姓承包,负责往山里运送。 But others are smart, sees some so many people, changes immediately, became one to pick a mountain unable to come up in any case. 可人家机灵啊,一见有这么多人,立马摇身一变,成了一个采摘点反正山也上不去。 „Oh, on this day felt strange!” “唉,这天就奇了怪了！” The proprietresses wear the short coat, fat sitting under the entrance big tree, thought aloud: „Separates 50 li (0.5 km) road, 40 degrees, while 20 degrees, what way of the world!” 老板娘穿着短褂,胖墩墩的坐在门口的大树下,自言自语道:“就隔五十来里路,一边四十度,一边二十度,什么世道！” She shakes the head, cannot express, pia lies down toward the chair on, the left hand teapot, the right hand rush-leaf fan, that called to moisten. 她摇摇头,表示不懂,pia的往椅子上一躺,左手茶壶,右手蒲扇,那叫一滋润。 „Bang!” “轰！” „Bang!” “轰！” She is lying down, was shaken by a strong sound suddenly awakes, sets out to look, is a truck is actually pressing the asphalt road, directly soars the entrance to go. 她正躺着,忽被一阵强劲的声响震醒,起身一看,却是一辆卡车压着柏油路,直奔山门而去。 The proprietresses stare, see behind the car(riage) to put a long linearity, probably box black goods. The copilot also sits young people, is pale, gets sick the narrow appearance. 老板娘一愣,见车后边放着一个长条形的,好像盒子似的黑色物品。副驾驶还坐着一个年轻人,脸色苍白,病仄仄的样子。 He looked at one toward here at will, that vision sweeps...... 他随意往这边瞄了一眼,那目光一扫…… ! 咝！ The proprietresses shake immediately, the backbone raises suddenly together the cold air, smooth scurrying about everywhere, the cold sweat got down unexpectedly. 老板娘立时一抖,脊梁骨突然升起一道寒气,哧溜溜的到处乱窜,冷汗竟下来了。 ...... …… Daoist temple, before somewhere courtyard . 道院,某处院落前。 34 handymen in buddhist temple get together in this, the absent-minded discussion in a low voice, often looked front door that a that shuts tightly. In the Daoist temple, can discharge this weaponry, only then promotes the innate incident. 三十四位道人齐聚于此,心不在焉的低声谈论,不时看一眼那紧闭的屋门。在道院里,能排出这等阵仗的,只有晋升先天一事。 Before had two successful cases, properly speaking should not be anxious, but this difference, but two also closed up! Named Sikong Chan, named stretch/open Wumeng, is all the real disciple. 之前有两个成功案例,按理说不该紧张,但这次不一样,可是有两位同时闭关！一个叫司空蟾,一个叫张无梦,都是全真弟子。 They the middle age, the self-torture, the accumulation is all deep since childhood, even if cannot compare Lu Yuanqing, is the top ten experts. 他们皆已中年,自幼苦修,积累深厚,纵然比不得卢元清,也是排在前十的好手。 They also close up, not only unexpected, and is reasonable. Cultivates oneself according to religious doctrine for two years in the mountain, every day was gradually influenced by the node, and supplements with the spirit meter/rice to help it, even the frog can still roll. 俩人同时闭关,既出乎意料,又在情理之中。诸位在山中修道两年,每日受节点熏陶,并辅以灵米助之,就算蛤蟆也能滚一滚了。 Does not know how long waited, suddenly, Lu Yuanqing and Shi Yunlai facial color one happy, felt in the room the aura, became! 不知等了多久,突然间,卢元清和石云来面色一喜,都感受到了屋中气息,成了！ „!” “吱呀！” Really, the wooden door pulls open, two middle-aged Daoist stride takes, the imposing manner is entirely different. 果然,木门拉开,两个中年道人大步迈出,气势截然不同。 „Congratulates Senior Brother Sikong!” “恭喜司空师兄！” „Congratulates Senior Brother stretch/open!” “恭喜张师兄！” The people move forward to meet somebody hastily, 11 congratulated, following close on, the value is defending the taoist priest to obtain the news, the ding gets up. When ding-dong, hit under 12. 众人连忙迎上去,一一道贺,紧跟着,值守道士得到消息,钟声又起。当当当,足足撞了十二下。 „Two fellow apprentices promote innate, the Daoist temple even more powerful, congratulated in this!” Lu Yuanqing salutes seriously. “二位师兄晋升先天,道院如虎添翼,在此拜贺了！”卢元清郑重施礼。 „Does not dare, in the future will do one's best surely, raises my simultaneous/uniform cloud prestige.” They return a courtesy hastily. “不敢,日后定将尽心尽力,扬我齐云声威。”俩人连忙回礼。 At the beginning of the year, Lu Yuanqing and other people in the Changbai Mountains disastrous defeat, dragging the wound to return to the Daoist temple. He and Shi Yunlai have not lost the prestige, is established, because spars to compete with, always has the height high and low, but also is insufficient to this degree narrowly. 年初时,卢元清等四人在长白山惨败,拖着伤回到道院。他与石云来并未失去威信,地位稳固,因为斗法比试,总有高低上下,还不至于狭隘到这种程度。 But stretch/open Shouyang, Chao Kongtu and bell Lingyu compelled very much painstakingly, they know not to beat obviously, has the condition to choose obviously, was actually still defending the master gate Confucian orthodoxy, is not willing to repair the Daoist prescriptions or exercises to achieve immortality. 但张守阳、晁空图和钟灵毓就很苦逼了,他们明明自知不敌,明明有条件可以选择,却仍然守着师门道统,不肯改修内丹。 Wants initially, a entire real potential with the water and fire, to melt afterward slowly, now shares everything except for their three, everyone is repairing the Daoist prescriptions or exercises to achieve immortality. 想当初,正一全真势同水火,后来慢慢相融,如今不分彼此除了他们三个,所有人都在修内丹。 Naturally, became different kind, although stretch/open Shouyang is also occupying the abbot reputation, but cannot the obedience. 理所当然的,自成了其中异类,张守阳虽还占着监院名头,但已不能服众。 But at this moment, three people go forward to congratulate, Sikong Chan and do not have the dream also light response, obviously was short of several points of warm feelings. 而此刻,三人上前恭贺,司空蟾和张无梦也只是淡淡回应,明显少了几分热络。 „......” “……” Three people smile bitterly, draws back silently, looks that the fellow apprentices encircle make one group, has the feeling of outsider. 三人苦笑,默默退下,看着师兄弟围作一团,颇有局外人之感。 Without the means that most people did not understand: You have not inherited! Grand Era approaches, said that the gate just needs the expert to support, holds the tradition not to let go for the wool? The exchange is common , to promote mutually is not very good? 没办法,大部分人都不理解:你们没有传承了！大世来临,道门正需要高手支撑,为毛还抱着传统不撒手？交流共通,互相增进不是很好么？ Meaning that these fellow daoist, a little expect too much. 就连正一的那些道友,都有点恨铁不成钢的意思。 „Two fellow apprentices first please rest, later I and Senior Brother stone visit again.” “二位师兄先请歇息,晚些我与石师兄再去拜访。” But that side, Lu Yuanqing sees three people to walk, is busy at saying goodbye with the opposite party, catches up quickly. 而那边,卢元清见三人要走,忙与对方告辞,快步追上。 „Senior Brother stretch/open, hold your steps!” “张师兄,留步！” His gathering side, intends to alleviate the atmosphere, selects the topic to ask: „I also want to consult, that thousand li (500 km) pass on message technique research how?” 他凑到旁边,有意缓解气氛,挑着话题问:“我还想请教呢,那千里传讯术研究的怎样了？” „, This symbol was the ancient cultivator message center uses, although the grade was high, request was very low. I set at variance rune/symbol mark for these days, has the result , we can refine on the 3rd.” Opens defends the way of yang. “哦,这张符是古代修士通信所用,品级虽高,施法的要求却很低。我这几天解构符纹,颇有成效,不出三日,我们便可自行炼制。”张守阳道。 „senior brother is Talisman Technique everyone, but must take the trouble.” “师兄是符法大家,还要多费心了。” Lu Yuanqing, saw is far away from the crowd slightly, tactful say/way: „senior brother, from Changbai and his party, I observes your facial expression to be elegant, resembles to have a mind to tie, could say listens with me?” 卢元清顿了顿,见稍稍远离人群,才委婉道:“师兄,自长白一行,我观你神情郁郁,似有心结,能否说与我听听？” „......” “……” Three people of silence, half sound, stretch/open Shouyang stamps the foot suddenly, turns around saying: „Abbot / abbess, I deeply feel able to be insufficient, from please yield, an abbot duty, leave two fellow apprentices to well.” 三人沉默,半响,张守阳才忽然顿足,转身道:“住持,我深感才能不足,自请让位,监院一职,还是留给两位师兄为好。” „Your this......” “你这……” Lu Yuanqing is accidental/surprised, the opposite party is never so expected that resolute, turns in resignation directly. He is also very awkward, because the opposite party is the head say/way is in direct line, where the status suspends, but by the present situation, was not truly suitable to hold the post. 卢元清非常意外,没想到对方如此果决,直接请辞。他也很为难,因为对方是天师道嫡传,身份摆在哪儿呢,但以现在的情况,确实不适合担任了。 „Abbot / abbess!” “住持！” They are chatting, sees a Daoist to run suddenly from the front courtyard, said: „Abbot / abbess, three fellow apprentices, have the guest to visit!” 他们正聊着,忽见一个道人从前院跑来,道:“住持,三位师兄,有客到访！” „Can know the status?” The people are startled. “可知身份？”众人一怔。 „, He had not said that but asked you to pass.” “呃,他没说,只是请您过去。” „That person of what appearance?” “那人什么样子？” „All alone , is not two people, young, a whole body is covering the black cloth, cannot see the appearance.” “孤身一人,哦不不,是两人,一个年纪不大,一个全身罩着黑布,看不见面目。” „......” “哦……” In the Lu Yuanqing heart has the spectrum, said: „Walks, has a look together.” 卢元清心中有谱,道:“走,一起去看看。” Several people go to the lobby quickly, sees in the hall to stand two, when person of thin and tall, the facial features are first pretty, is actually passing a gloomy strange feeling, fell many scores for no reason. 几人快步来到前厅,见厅中站着两位,当先一人瘦瘦高高,五官俊秀,却透着一股阴森诡异的感觉,凭白降了好些分数。 „But Priest Li Suchun?” Lu Yuanqing is trying the inquiry. “可是李肃纯道长？”卢元清试着询问。 „Un!” “嗯！” Li Suchun sizes up his, returns hard said. 李肃纯打量他一番,硬邦邦回道。 „Greeting on first meeting greeting on first meeting, please sit down quickly!” “久仰久仰,快请坐！” Lu Yuanqing is very warm, says with a smile: „Hears Priest Li early the given name, today sees really not empty. That is your iron corpse? The imposing manner is extraordinary!” 卢元清十分热情,笑道:“早听闻李道长大名,今日一见果然不虚。哦,那位就是你的铁尸吧？气势非凡啊！” „......” “……” Small plum strange looked at his one eyes, probably in silent complained: Your how so many idle talk! He pulls a paper document directly, launches saying: „This is the instruction, I must stay for temporary lodging one in the mountain.” 小李子古怪的瞧了他一眼,好像在无声吐槽:你丫怎么这么多废话！他直接扯出一纸文件,展开道:“这是批令,我要在山中借住一段。” Lu Yuanqing has not read that document from the start, said: „You want to come, came is, what needed the convention article, my Daoist temple from, when welcomed. However your I not happen together, suddenly visits, what matter doesn't know?” 卢元清压根没看那文件,道:“你想来,来了就是,何需俗套文章,我道院自当相迎。不过你我并无交集,忽然到访,不知何事？” „......” “……” The small plum looked at his one eyes, neat jumps two characters: „Summer vacation!” 小李子又瞧了他一眼,干脆利落的蹦出俩字:“避暑！”
