After less than half double-hour, the black feather red crown giant bird then rushes to Capital City, Qin Mu looks forward, the heart slightly shakes, he saw the River Tomb city, in the heart has shocked extremely, but front Capital City takes to his vibration also to surpass the River Tomb city. 小半个时辰后,黑羽红冠巨鸟便奔至京城,秦牧向前看去,心头微震,他已经见过了江陵城,心中极为震撼,而面前的京城带给他的震动还要超过江陵城。 The River Tomb city constructs on Gold River, the city leaves the water surface 30 zhang (3.33 m), splendid sight. 江陵城是建在金江上,城离水面30丈,蔚为壮观。 But this Capital City is similar to the big dragon mountain range, moreover is not a mountain range, but is the Kujouyama lineage/vein. 而这座京城如同巨龙般的山脉上,而且不是一条山脉,而是九条山脉。 Nine crawl the mountain range like dragon -like above plain, gathers in Capital City this position together, Nine Dragons confluence, dragon's head the place of gathering, is Capital City. 九条如龙般匍匐在平原之上的山脉,在京城这个位置汇聚在一起,九龙合流,龙首相聚之地,便是京城。 This and other boundless imposing manners, first then must over construct on Gold River River Tomb city many. Also no wonder Emperor Yanfeng constructs the view above dragon's head to the so-called River Tomb new town interruption dragon vein thinks little, Capital City is Nine Dragons was supreme, why must to care about Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor to press the River Tomb new town of coordinated process? 这等磅礴的气势,首先便要超过建在金江上的江陵城许多。也难怪延丰帝对所谓的江陵新城截断龙脉建在龙首之上的说法不以为意,京城本来就是九龙至尊,何须在意延康国师压着一条龙的江陵新城？ Nine Dragons surrounds and protects Capital City, but the 30 miles of Beijing four barracks, each barracks likely is a city so are huge, from the barracks 20 miles place also eight market towns, although is the market town, but may also compared with the city. 九龙拱卫京城,而距离京城30里还有四座兵营,每一座兵营都像是一个城市那么庞大,距离兵营20里的地方还有八座集镇,虽是集镇,但也可比城市了。 These eight market towns establish by a great river, this river is the Eternal Peace Empire second great river, apply Jiang, the amphibious transportation is quite convenient. The first great river is Surging River, results from Great Ruins. 这八座集镇建立在一条大江旁边,这条江是延康国第二大江,涂江,水陆交通极为便捷。第一大江是涌江,起于大墟。 Although is the second great river, apply Jiang has the name of Eternal Peace dragon vein, is the legitimate dragon vein, but Gold River was the dragon vein said, actually in the government and people many people did not approve of this idea. 虽是第二大江,涂江却有延康龙脉之称,是正统的龙脉,而金江是龙脉之说,其实朝野中很多人都不赞同这个观念。 Qin Mu looks out into the distance, the Capital City meteorology of Nine Dragons confluence is extraordinary, is the emperor rules the world worthily the place. 秦牧远眺,九龙合流的京城气象非凡,不愧是天子统治天下的地方。 „Capital City also hides in soldier mountain unexpectedly!” Qin Mu looks out into the distance the Nine Dragons mountain range, sees the air/Qi of weapons indistinctly, surprised say/way. “京城竟然还藏兵山中！”秦牧远眺九龙山脉,隐约看到兵戈之气,惊讶道。 Several officers who the bird carries on the back are also similarly surprised, in abundance looks like to him, a humanity: „Does little brother have person in the armed forces? Also knows in Dao Mountain unexpectedly the storehouse soldier.” 鸟背上的几个将士也是同样惊讶,纷纷向他看来,其中一人道:“小兄弟在军中有人？竟还知道山中藏兵。” Qin Mu had not replied, he can see in the Nine Dragons mountain range to have the mighty force, because of his Heaven's Eye, Blind teaches to his Nine Layers Heavenly Eye Awakening Technique in the technique of hopeful air/Qi. 秦牧没有回答,他能够看出九龙山脉中藏有千军万马,是因为他的神霄天眼,瞎子传授给他的九重天开眼法中其中有望气之术。 So-called looks at the air/Qi, is view destiny. 所谓望气,是观气运。 Like Capital City this and other places of large-scale stationing troops, the air/Qi of weapons uses to suppress the empire destiny, naturally cannot hide the truth from his eye. 像京城这等大规模屯兵之处,兵戈之气用以镇压帝国气运,自然瞒不过他的眼睛。 Then before the bow and arrow cavalry they deliver to the Capital city gate, says goodbye to depart, Qin Mu and Wei Yong have examined the guide in the city gate place, walks into Capital City, emperor nature vividly, Qin Mu, although has been to the River Tomb city, the liveliness of River Tomb city has made him broaden the outlook, but Capital City is another picture. 弓箭骑兵将他们送到京城门前便告辞离去,秦牧与卫墉在城门处验过路引,走入京城,天子脚下自然繁华至极,秦牧虽然到过江陵城,江陵城的繁华已经让他大开眼界,而京城又是另一番景象。 Here lively, but does not have haggling over every penny of businessman, not only there is a wealth accumulation, what are more is concrete details of culture. 这里繁华,但并没有商贾的锱铢必较,不仅有财富积累,更多的是一种文化的底蕴。 Here house building has flavor/smell very much, the technique that the stone lion of street carves also is very elegant, antithetical couplet in the rich people gate also has the interest, gate god that in each and every family gate pastes, marvelous feelings, as if these gate gods really can live to prevent Demons and Ghosts. 这里的房屋楼宇很有味道,街边的石狮子雕琢的技法也很是考究,大户人家门上的对联也是别有趣味,还有家家户户门上贴的门神,也有一种奇妙的感觉,似乎这些门神真能活过来阻挡妖魔鬼怪。 From one small clue one can see what is coming, observes one to know Spring and Autumn Period, observes the water drop to know the sea, Qin Mu observes, fully realizes the fearfulness of this empire. 见微知著,察一叶可知春秋,观滴水而知沧海,秦牧四下观察,深知这个帝国的可怕。 Village Chief they once said, Eternal Peace Empire camouflages the Sect country, now he knows that this Sect is the what kind of great strength! 村长他们曾经说,延康国是伪装成门派的国家,现在他才知道这个门派是何等的强大！ „Brother Qin whether has stopping over place?” “秦兄弟是否有落脚的地方？” Wei Yong invited: „If no, might as well goes to the Country Presidential palace to live in several day slightly. When Taixue opens the institute, we go to Taixue to take a test again.” 卫墉邀请道:“倘若没有,不妨去国公府稍住几日。等到太学开院,我们再去太学考试。” Qin Mu hesitates, shakes the head saying: „I have hometown in the city, therefore the knowledge, the preparation goes to go for shelter, the Wei Yong brother, we said goodbye.” 秦牧迟疑一下,摇头道:“我在城中有家乡故识,准备前去投奔,卫墉兄,咱们就此别过。” Wei Yong must relinquish, said: „You stabilize, but the life person goes to the Country Presidential palace to officially inform my one.” 卫墉只得作罢,道:“你安定下来,可命人去国公府知会我一声。” Qin Mu said with a smile: „Certain. Right Wei Yong brother, where has Cathouse?” 秦牧笑道:“一定。对了卫墉兄,哪里有青楼？” The Wei Yong facial color is strange: „Cannot see Brother Qin is a wind...... The elegant person, likes this argument. Capital City biggest Cathouse then in Flowery Alley, you walks toward from Flowery Phoenix Street, comes to the end right to turn, passes through three streets then to see Flowery Alley again. In Flowery Alley best Cathouse is called Rain Listening Pavilion, do not ask how I know, I have never gone to there...... Takes care!” 卫墉面色古怪:“看不出秦兄弟还是个风……风雅之人,喜欢这个调调。京城最大的青楼便在花巷,你从凤华街往里走,走到尽头右拐,再经过三条街便可以看到花巷。花巷中最好的青楼叫做听雨阁,咳咳,别问我怎么知道的,我从未去过那里……保重身体！” Qin Mu wonders, what argument goes to Cathouse is? Moreover what matter closes body? 秦牧纳闷,去青楼是什么调调？而且关身体什么事？ They made farewell speech. 两人作别。 Qin Mu is bringing Hu Ling'er stand forth, walks to along Flowery Phoenix Street. 秦牧带着狐灵儿向前走去,沿着凤华街向里走。 „This is not Cathouse......” “这不是青楼啊……” In Flowery Alley, Qin Mu looks at both sides building, in the heart wonders. Here is the green tile, but the building is actually the vermilion, before the gate, is hanging some lanterns. 花巷中,秦牧看着两旁的楼宇,心中纳闷。这里是青色的瓦,但是楼宇却是朱红色的,门前挂着些灯笼。 „Little Elder Brother plays!” Some little elder sisters are in the building to wave to him. “小哥哥上来玩啊！”有些小姐姐在楼上向他招手。 „Young Master Mu, do you recognize them?” “牧公子,你认得她们？” Hu Ling'er wonders saying: „They shout very warmly!” 狐灵儿纳闷道:“她们嚷嚷得很热情呢！” „My previous time goes to Border Dragon City is also so, some elder sisters are very warm, strange is not familiar with.” “我上次去镶龙城也是如此,有些姐姐很热情,怪不习惯的。” Qin Mu walks to, reads the advertisement along the way, this Flowery Alley is very deep, the 30% discount eight turn, to so was not then lively, here girl acts with constraint very much, holds the pipa to rely on near the window, the pipa partly is obstructing the surface, plays gently, sobs chilly. 秦牧向里走,沿途看招牌,这花巷很深,七折八拐,到了里面便没有这么热闹了,这里的姑娘很矜持,抱着琵琶倚在窗边,琵琶半遮着面,轻轻弹奏,清冷幽咽。 Walks toward in again, the low zither music transmits, Qin Mu to opening wide in the gate looks, sees only in the courtyard to have the fine gauze to flutter, several young girls are upon the jump in the fine gauze accounts, a female is debugging the zither music. 再往里走,低低的琴音传来,秦牧向敞开的门里看去,只见院子里有轻纱飘扬,几个少女在轻纱帐间跑来跑去,还有个女子正在调试琴音。 Walks to again, some girls practice the dance in the building, the crisp bell laughter transmits once for a while, is very smart-alecky lovable. But to here lane in pedestrian that many, in the courtyard had not gone out of 1-2 men once for a while, probably is here husband is ordinary, has the Wan Shu's female for its reorganization clothes, sees off reluctant to part. 再向里走,有些女孩儿在楼上练习歌舞,脆铃般的笑声时不时传来,很是俏皮可爱。而到了这里巷子里的行人已经没有那么多了,院子里时不时走出一两个男子,好像是这里男主人一般,有婉淑的女子为其整理衣裳,依依送别。 Goes out of the man who to see Qin Mu from inside, must cover the face, as if feared that was recognized. 只是从里面走出的男子见到秦牧,都要遮住脸,似乎怕被人认出。 Qin Mu wonders, walks from own family/home is not the scandal, as for can also obstruct the face? 秦牧纳闷,从自己家里走出来又不是什么丑事,至于还要遮脸？ „City person is really strange.” “城里人真奇怪。” He arrives at the Flowery Alley deep place, sees a building, writes Rain Listening Pavilion several characters. The gateway of this pavilion tightens, but looks like the courtyard is deep, is very peaceful. 他走到花巷深处,看到一座楼宇,写着听雨阁几字。这楼阁的门户紧锁,不过看起来院子深深,很是安静。 Qin Mu went forward to knock on a door, passes moment to hear to kick clatter kicks clatter the sound of footsteps to transmit, a girl's soft voice conveyed: „Came, came.” 秦牧上前敲门,过了片刻听到踢嗒踢嗒的脚步声传来,一个女孩儿柔柔软软的声音传来:“来了,来了。” Inside transmits the sound that the door bolt pulls open, then the gateway opened a seam, a girl pokes head after the gate, sees Qin Mu, said curiously: „Customer, do you look for which?” 里面传来门闩拉开的声响,接着门户开启了一条缝,一个女孩儿在门后探出头,见到秦牧,好奇道:“客官,你找哪位？” Qin Mu politely said: „Fu Qingyun in?” 秦牧客客气气道:“付磬允在吗？” The girl general's family pulls open the half, said with a smile: „May I ask the Young Master name? I am also good the notification.” 那女孩儿将门拉开半边,笑道:“敢问公子名姓？我也好进去通报。” „You told her, I was surnamed Qin.” “你告诉她,我姓秦。” The girl covers visits, sound of footsteps is gradually far, should be notifies. Passed the moment, the gateway opens once more, reveals a familiar face, is Cathouse Hallmaster Fu Qingyun, saw that Qin Mu is pleasantly surprised: „Young Master came finally! In a big hurry, in requests personally! Haven't the sisters, looked at tea? Young Master to!” 那女孩又掩上门,脚步声渐远,应该是去通报了。过了片刻,门户再次开启,露出一张熟悉的面孔,正是青楼堂主付磬允,见到秦牧不禁又惊又喜:“公子终于来了！快快,里面请！姐妹们,还不看茶？公子到了！” „Young Master to?” “公子到了？” Sound that inside transmits the girls, is very clear, chirp how how was the spring small bird was just growing the shoot on the tree to chat likely, Qin Mu the azure green red purple women's clothing flutters at present, the young girl in Rain Listening Pavilion went out in abundance, welcomed to him, making him be dazzled. 里面传来女孩儿们的声音,很是清脆,唧唧咋咋的像是春天的小鸟儿在刚刚长出嫩芽的树上聊天,秦牧眼前青的绿的红的紫的衣裙飘动,听雨阁中的少女纷纷走出,向他迎了过来,让他眼花缭乱。 The Rain Listening Pavilion girl is unique, some women, some are iced cold, some are gentle and charming, some enthusiasm like the fire, it may be said that is the chaotic flower gradually wants to confuse the human eye. 听雨阁的女孩儿各具特色,有的软玉温香,有的冷若冰霜,有的娇柔妩媚,有的热情如火,可谓是乱花渐欲迷人眼。 Fu Qingyun quickly said: „Go away, gets out of the way! Young Master making a long and wearisome journey Fatigue of travel, do not entangle Young Master! Hasn't looked at the tea quickly?” 付磬允连忙道:“走开,都走开！公子长途跋涉舟车劳顿,你们不要缠着公子！还不快去看茶？” These girls are one flock of butterflies diverge likely, some hit the spring, some wash the saucer, some are lighting the oil lamp to boil water. Qin Mu thought immediately pressure relief were many, relaxed, Fu Qingyun eagerly anticipates him to arrive at Accord, said: „These girls have to owe to teach, Young Master does not take it ill. Outside the turmoil of war, somewhat is gradually dangerous, should Young Master this come across many accidents?” 这些女孩儿像是一群蝴蝶般散去,有的去打清泉,有的去洗茶碟,有的在点燃青灯烧水。秦牧顿时觉得压力减轻了不少,松了口气,付磬允引领着他来到雅阁,道:“这些姑娘都有欠管教,公子休怪。外面逐渐兵荒马乱,有些危险,公子这一路应该遇到不少变故吧？” Qin Mu said with a smile: „Indeed meets some slightly troublesome, is good to be shocking but not dangerous. You inform to teach the high level, making them officially inform Patriarch.” 秦牧笑道:“的确遇到些小麻烦,好在有惊无险。你通知教中高层,让他们知会祖师。” Fu Qingyun said with a smile: „Patriarch waited for Young Master for a long time. Actually Patriarch told us, so long as meets Young Master, then makes Young Master see him.” 付磬允笑吟吟道:“祖师已经等公子许久了呢。其实祖师已经吩咐了我们,只要遇到公子,便让公子去见他。” Has the girl to serve tea, sizes up Qin Mu several secretly, smiling that eats. 有女孩上来奉茶,偷偷打量秦牧几眼,吃吃的笑着。 Qin Mu is with the smile, wonders saying: „Sister Yun’er, where do I go to see him?” 秦牧报以微笑,纳闷道:“允儿姐,我去哪里见他？” The girl hears Qin Mu saying that Fu Qingyun is Sister Yun’er, smiling that also eats. 那女孩儿听到秦牧称付磬允为允儿姐,又吃吃的笑了。 Fu Qingyun stares her one eyes, expels her, said with a smile: „Naturally is goes to Imperial College, Young Master tea.” 付磬允瞪她一眼,将她撵出去,笑道:“自然是去太学院,公子饮茶。” „Imperial College?” “太学院？” Qin Mu was surprised, carries the teacup actually to forget drinking, wasn't Imperial College the place of scholars studying? Why goes to Imperial College to see Young Patriarch? 秦牧惊讶,端起茶杯却忘了喝,太学院不是士子求学之处吗？为何去太学院见少年祖师？ „Doesn't Young Master know?” “公子不知？” Fu Qingyun said with a smile: „Patriarch is Imperial College country child Grand Chancellor ( 1 ), is Eternal Peace Empire from third-ranking official, is in charge of Imperial College, naturally lives in Imperial College. Although Imperial College Imperial Scholar has the emperor disciple's polite name, but is the Patriarch disciple is in fact right.” 付磬允笑道:“祖师是太学院的国子大祭酒①,是延康国从三品的官,主管太学院,自然住在太学院。太学院的太学士虽有天子门生的尊称,但实际上都是祖师的门生才对。” The Qin Mu heart big quake, Imperial College all are Imperial Scholar the Young Patriarch disciples? 秦牧心头大震,太学院所有的太学士都是少年祖师的门生？ Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor and do Emperor Yanfeng dare to give Heavenly Devil Cult Patriarch this government position unexpectedly? Doesn't fear the tail greatly? 延康国师和延丰帝竟然敢把这个官职交给天魔教的祖师？难道就不怕尾大不掉吗？ Fu Qingyun as if saw his thoughts, said: „The Patriarch game world, no one knows his real status. Actually his old man of noble character and high prestige, in the first emperor time then already the extra mundane person of high skill who moved the world, was very mysterious. Even if Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, once asked to his old man seeks for advice, is a Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor strength guarantee, making his old man make Imperial College country child Grand Chancellor.” 付磬允似乎看出了他的心思,道:“祖师游戏人间,谁也不知道他的真实身份。其实他老人家德高望重,早在先帝时期便已经名动天下的世外高人了,很是神秘。即便是延康国师,也曾经向他老人家问道求教,也是延康国师一力担保,让他老人家做太学院的国子大祭酒的。” Note ( 1 ): Country child Grand Chancellor, the Tang Dynasty government position, was similar to the principal of highest school. 注①:国子大祭酒,唐朝官职,类似于最高学府的校长。
