Qin Mu walks, takes a broad view to look, the sores all over the eye, the famine victim flees in all directions, the disaster rises from all directions, the plague runs amuck, compares also calculates that stable Great Thunderclap Monastery territory, here simply is the hell. 秦牧一路走来,放眼看去,满目疮痍,饥民流窜,灾害四起,瘟疫横行,相比还算安定的大雷音寺的领地,这里简直就是地狱。 Is good practices medicine because of many university scholars elementary school scholars in all directions, suppresses the epidemic situation, otherwise the disaster is heavier. 好在有许多大学士子小学士子四处行医,压制疫情,否则灾难更重。 Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor has constructed massive elementary school universities, replaces the private school, then applied at this time. Although these scholars the strength of everyone is very small and weak, but about was very astonishing in the same place, is equal to small Sect. 延康国师建造了大量的小学大学,代替私塾,在这个时候便派上了用场。这些士子虽然每个人的力量很是弱小,但合在一起就很惊人了,相当于一个个小门派。 Qin Mu saw that has the officers to exterminate Demons and Ghosts that seizes the chance to rebel in all directions, County Magistrate guards the farmland to protect the seedling personally, the persuasion refugee returns to home village, the grain that the emperor reliefs disaster will transport quickly then here. 秦牧看到有官兵在四处清剿趁机作乱的妖魔鬼怪,县令亲自镇守农田护苗,劝说流民回乡,皇帝赈灾的粮食很快便会运到这里。 He also sees some Dao Sect disciple Buddhists also at the disaster relief, is only somewhat along with the nature, compares the ability to be limited with the strength of country, where arrives to rescue where. Moreover some do missionary work while the national disaster, has had many cults, but does not make a name. 他还看到一些道门弟子佛门弟子也在救灾,只是有些随性,与国家的力量相比能力有限,走到哪里救到哪里。而且有些则趁着国难传教,生出了许多邪教,但都不成气候。 „This disaster, cannot destroy completely such country.” The Qin Mu heart said. “这场天灾,灭不掉这样的国家。”秦牧心道。 The new crops have planted, so long as the harvest season, has then been able to make the common people stabilize. The opportunity that Eternal Peace Empire the disaster has is quite strange, exactly after one sweeps across the cataclysm in nation, because year to year goes to war, the grain and fodder consumption is enormous, in addition this snow disaster, sufficiently has a fracture. 新的庄稼已经种下,只要到了收获季节,便可以让百姓安定下来。延康国的这场灾难发生的时机极为诡异,恰恰是在一场席卷全国的大动乱之后,因为常年打仗,粮草消耗极大,再加上这场雪灾,足以伤筋动骨。 „Does not know that Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor returns toward, is the emperor still reliefing disaster? This disaster from where? This is not the disaster that Dao Sect and Great Thunderclap Monastery such Holy Land can create, can only be the god.” “不知道延康国师是否回朝,皇帝是否还在赈灾？还有这场天灾从何而来？这不是道门、大雷音寺这样的圣地能够制造出的灾难,只能是神。” He looks up the day, in the heart has doubts, why? 他抬头看天,心中疑惑,为何？ Why can the heaven fall the disaster to give Eternal Peace? 为何苍天要降灾给延康？ For god in the Confucian orthodoxy of world? 为了神在人间的道统吗？ Before Eternal Peace, sects rule the world, forms every large or small state, the inheritance of some Sect are ancient, have the legend are Sect that the god leaves behind. Then is because the god was destroyed completely by Eternal Peace Empire in the Confucian orthodoxy of world, the Spiritual God loses one's temper, lowers this disaster? 延康之前,是一个个宗派统治世界,形成大大小小的国度,有些门派的传承古老,有传说是神留下的门派。那么是因为神在人间的道统被延康国灭掉,神灵动怒,才降下这场天灾吗？ Said that in this also has the reason of other deeper level? 还是说这里面还有其他更深层次的原因？ Qin Mu seeks the Heavenly Devil Cult disciple, inquired, Heavenly Devil Cult along with the government authorities disaster relief, was being taught the disciple almost to send out, to be found in land, various Hallmaster have also contributed various wealth, already poor dingdong sound. Some business store up goods occupies strange, but also some aristocratic family big valves store grains do not sell. 秦牧寻到天魔教的弟子,询问一番,天魔教在随着官府赈灾,教中弟子几乎悉数出动,遍布全国各地,各堂堂主还将各堂的钱财捐了出去,已经穷的叮当响。只是有些商家囤货居奇,还有些世家大阀屯粮不售。 „Emperor was furious, has killed one batch, found out many officials to take bribes and pervert justice, accepted bribes the wealth of disaster relief, has killed one batch, but also somewhat while selling official posts and titles, has killed one batch.” “皇帝震怒,杀了一批,又查出许多官员贪赃枉法,贪墨赈灾的钱财,杀了一批,还有些趁着卖官鬻爵的,杀了一批。” A Heavenly Devil Cult disciple followed the emperor to relief disaster, saw many world, delighted say/way: „Emperor repeatedly was also assassinated, many are existences of some Cult Master levels, is fortunate enough to the Imperial Court civil and military ministers to follow, the emperor also personally assaults, what end is tyrannical. Cult Master has not gone, actually a regrettable matter.” 一位天魔教弟子跟随皇帝赈灾,见了不少世面,眉飞色舞道:“皇帝还屡遭暗杀,多是些教主级的存在,幸得朝中文武大臣相随,皇帝也亲自搏击,端的是强横至极。教主没有前去,倒是一件憾事。” Qin Mu asked: „Which expert has to assassinate emperor?” 秦牧问道:“都有哪些强者暗杀皇帝？” „Hearing is the poor master and field Daoist immortal these people, but also some beyond the Great Wall expert.” “听闻是穷夫子、田真君那些人,还有些塞外的强者。” The Qin Mu complexion changes, said: „Collaborated with beyond the Great Wall Cult Master level expert? Did Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor come back?” 秦牧脸色微变,道:“与塞外的教主级强者联手了？延康国师回来了没有？” „Has not seen.” “不曾见到。” The Qin Mu hesitation moment, said: „Where did emperor arrive at?” 秦牧沉吟片刻,道:“皇帝到了哪里了？” „Bazhou government offices beyond five thousand li (500 km).” “就在五千里之外的霸州府。” That Heavenly Devil Cult disciple said: „Emperor went to the south first, south these will refuse the aristocratic family that puts the grain to sell the grain to exterminate, then north goes, at the present just arrived in Bazhou. Bazhou is stable.” 那天魔教弟子道:“皇帝先去了南方,将南方那些拒不放粮售粮的世家清剿了,然后才去北方,而今刚到霸州。霸州还算安定。” Qin Mu calmed down, asks: „That side Capital City? Leaves behind several first ranking high official?” 秦牧定了定神,问道:“京城那边呢？留下几位一品大员？” „Leaves behind the Crown Prince regent, an official of Crown Prince department.” “留下太子监国,还有太子一系的官员。” The Qin Mu facial color is dignified, Capital City had the Crown Prince regent, Crown Prince actually ran up to Great Thunderclap Monastery, poor master Tian Zhenjun and the others nearly died in the hand of Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor, was rescued by old Rulai, said that they entered the empty gate, no longer inquired about the matter of common custom, but now poor master and the others actually ran. 秦牧面色凝重,京城有太子监国,太子却跑到了大雷音寺,穷夫子田真君等人原本险些死在延康国师的手中,被老如来搭救,说他们入了空门,不再过问世俗之事,而现在穷夫子等人却跑了出来。 In addition Crown Prince sees old Rulai, this inside matter was big. 再加上太子去见老如来,这里面的事就大了。 „The royal government is in the world biggest Holy Land, does not know true understanding collides with Great Thunderclap Monastery, whose ability even better?” “都说朝廷就是天底下最大的圣地,不知道真的与大雷音寺碰撞起来,谁才能更胜一筹？” The Qin Mu hesitation moment, said: „Can contact on various Hallmaster?” 秦牧沉吟片刻,道:“能联络得上各堂堂主吗？” „Various at each region disaster relief, are very at the present difficult to contact, wants various all assembled, only feared takes 1-2 months.” “而今各堂都在各地救灾,很难联络,想要聚齐各堂,只怕需要一两个月的时间。” Qin Mu beckoned with the hand, departs without consulting anybody, sits carries on the back to rush to Bazhou in Dragon Qilin. 秦牧摆了摆手,径自离去,坐在龙麒麟背上赶赴霸州。 Bazhou is away from here also five thousand li (500 km), the journey is quite far, does not rest by the Dragon Qilin strength of legs must ability rush next day, in addition in the journey rests, it is estimated that must rush to Bazhou to next evening ability. 霸州距离这里还有五千里,路途颇远,以龙麒麟的脚力不休息也须得第二天才能赶到,再加上路途中休息,估计要到第二天晚上才能赶到霸州。 „If my ship, that is easier to do. What a pity was destroyed.” “倘若我那艘宝船还在,那就好办多了。可惜被毁了。” Qin Mu made Dragon Qilin hurry along fully, permits to him one fight of meals, Dragon Qilin rouses the spirit every day, treadonned Fire Cloud to run to go to Bazhou. 秦牧令龙麒麟全力赶路,许给他每天一斗的伙食,龙麒麟振奋精神,脚踏火云向霸州奔跑而去。 Unknowingly to the night, Qin Mu has gained ground to watch the starlike image, the identification direction, assigns Dragon Qilin to continue to hurry along, when Sun raises, Dragon Qilin cannot endure, is tired the mouth to spit the foam, was too tired to move any further, the footsteps are getting more and more slow. 不知不觉到了夜晚,秦牧抬头观看星象,辨认方向,命龙麒麟继续赶路,等到太阳升起时,龙麒麟也吃不消,累得口吐白沫,跑不动了,脚步越来越慢。 Qin Mu makes him stop, looks that identifies the position, takes out Eternal Peace geographic map to examine carefully, sees only from Bazhou only remaining is less than the thousand li (500 km) distance. 秦牧让他停下,四下看去,辨认一下位置,取出延康地理图细细查看一番,只见距离霸州只剩下不到千里的路程。 Qin Mu relaxed, has fed Dragon Qilin, at a moderate pace stand forth, lets the Dragon Qilin resting footsteps. 秦牧松了口气,喂了龙麒麟,不紧不慢的向前走去,让龙麒麟歇歇脚步。 Has not gone out many sees only a dwelling to appear in this poor mountain remote place, should be the newly built house, anything is new, Qin Mu walks, will knock on a door, the gateway started, goes out of a female and he puts in an appearance, two people are startled. 没走出多远只见一个宅院出现在这穷山僻壤中,应该是新盖的房子,什么都是新的,秦牧走过去,正要敲门,门户开了,走出一个女子与他照面,两人都是一怔。 „Mu'er?” “牧儿？” The female has the Wu Shuang/Unparalleled appearance, saw that he is startled fiercely, looked, wonders saying: „Do you seek here to come? I throw off Blind and Grandfather Ma with great difficulty, was sought unexpectedly by you.” 那女子有着无双的容颜,见到他猛地一怔,四下看了看,纳闷道:“你怎么寻到这里来的？我好不容易才甩掉瞎子和马爷,竟然被你寻到了。” Qin Mu is pleasantly surprised: „Granny, how can you here?” He immediately vigilance: „Are you Granny or Li Tianxing?” 秦牧又惊又喜:“婆婆,你怎么会在这里？”他随即警觉起来:“你是婆婆还是厉天行？” Grandma Si being sideways makes him enter the room, said: „Old Devil was suppressed temporarily by me, old Rulai cannot remove him freely, but also makes his origin qi damage severely, I am now evenly matched with him, therefore has decided the agreement with him. Evening's time he comes out, daytime time I come out.” 司婆婆侧身让他进屋,道:“老魔头暂时被我镇压住了,老如来尽管没能除掉他,但也让他元气大伤,我现在与他势均力敌,于是和他定了协议。晚上的时候他出来,白天的时候我出来。” The Qin Mu doubt said: „You, if is really Granny, why can also avoid Grandfather Ma and Grandpa Blind intentionally? Why can hide here?” 秦牧狐疑道:“你倘若真的是婆婆,为何还要故意避开马爷和瞎爷爷？为何要躲在这里？” Grandma Si white his eyes: „Does brat, dare to suspect including Granny? If I Old Devil, do want to harm you also to need to arrange the lie to deceive you?” 司婆婆白他一眼:“臭小子,连婆婆也敢怀疑了？我若是老魔头,想害你的话还需要编假话骗你？” In the Qin Mu heart thinks that indeed is this truth, oneself compare Grandma Si indeed to be much weaker, if she is Li Tianxing, does not need to take a lot of care, this walks into the courtyard. 秦牧心中一想,的确是这个道理,自己相比司婆婆来说的确弱得可怜,倘若她是厉天行,无需多费心思,这才走入院子中。 If Li Tianxing, that attracts the vigor, a look then can make own Divine Soul invert, what end is also wants the woman compared with the woman. 倘若是厉天行,那股魅惑劲儿,一个眼神便能让自己神魂颠倒,端的是比女人还要女人。 This dwelling is very simple, after all just completed, few furniture, Qin Mu sizes up, sees only the furniture to be crooked, this felt relieved. 这座宅院很是简朴,毕竟是刚刚建成,没有几件家具,秦牧四下打量,只见桌椅都是歪歪扭扭的,这才放心。 Grandma Si does not have the Grandfather Ma that clever handwork, makes the clothes to be still permissible, but the carpenter is then miserably poor, these furniture stem from the Grandma Si style/talent absolutely. 司婆婆没有马爷那么灵巧的手工,做衣裳尚可,但是木工便差得可怜,这些桌椅绝对是出自司婆婆的手笔。 Qin Mu sits on the chair rests, this chair high while low, is very irritable, in the heart felt relieved that indeed is the chair that Grandma Si makes, said curiously: „Why doesn't Granny return to Great Ruins?” 秦牧坐在椅子上歇息,这椅子一边高一边低,很是别扭,心中更加放心,的确是司婆婆做的椅子,好奇道:“婆婆为何不回大墟？” Grandma Si shook the head, goes out of the courtyard, crossed moment several firewoods to sift in the courtyard, she planned to make a bed. 司婆婆摇了摇头,走出院子,过了片刻几块木柴飘入院子中,她打算做一张床。 Qin Mu cannot attend to resting, goes forward to help hastily, Grandma Si teaches the saintess, even if lived for 40 years in Disabled Elderly Village, but has not learned the Grandfather Ma craftsmanship, Qin Mu builds various types of furniture every kind to be skilled in actually. 秦牧顾不得歇息,连忙上前帮忙,司婆婆是教中圣女,即便在残老村生活了40年但也没有学会马爷的手艺,倒是秦牧打造各种家具样样精通。 Grandma Si cannot meddle, took a water to the riverside, comes back to polish the bronze mirror, said: „I could not go back now, how goes back to be able? In Great Ruins has the darkness authorities in the evening, Old Devil runs to toss about again, how many can Village Chief their be able to tolerate how many days the old bones? Might as well here lives in some time, rubs the Old Devil disposition.” 司婆婆插不上手,到河边取了点水,回来打磨铜镜,道:“我现在回不去了,回去又能如何？大墟里晚上有黑暗当道,老魔头再跑出来折腾,村长他们几把老骨头能禁得住几天？还不如就在这里住一段时间,磨一磨老魔头的心性。” Qin Mu completes a bed rapidly, moves in the room, saw that she also polishes the mirror bumpy, does not know whether to laugh or cry, received the hand hastily, changes to White Tiger origin qi origin qi, then calculates, the origin qi thread careful polish, is smooth the bronze mirror polish, then has made the makeup stage. 秦牧飞速将一张大床做好,搬进屋子里,看到她把镜子也打磨得坑坑洼洼,哭笑不得,连忙接过手来,将元气化作白虎元气,然后计算一番,元气丝细细打磨,将铜镜打磨平整,然后又去做了个妆台。 Grandma Si saw that Dragon Qilin lies on the ground whistling rests greatly, sees the Qin Mu eyeful capillaries, is utterly exhausted, said: „Have you marched on a night of road? First rests a meeting.” 司婆婆看到龙麒麟趴在地上呼呼大睡,又看到秦牧满眼血丝,疲惫不堪,道:“你赶了一夜路？先去睡一会吧。” „Don't you walk?” “你不走？” „Does not walk.” “不走。” Qin Mu felt relieved that rests good-fittingly on bed, here does not have the bedding, but he was also used to living outdoors, quick heavy went off. 秦牧放下心来,合身睡在床上,这里没有被褥,但他也习惯了风餐露宿,很快沉沉睡去。 How long crossed did not know, Qin Mu awake song woke up, saw that Grandma Si was lost in thought on to the makeup stage bronze mirror, in the hand was raising the mouth scissors, the scissors to own face. 过了不知多久,秦牧惺忪醒来,看到司婆婆在对着妆台上的铜镜出神,手中提着口剪刀,剪刀对着自己的脸。 „Granny!” Qin Mu hurries to say. “婆婆！”秦牧慌忙道。 Grandma Si turns the head, puts down the scissors, shows the smiling face, said in a soft voice: „Rulai said that must eradicate heart demon, only then means that making him no longer yearn for this face thoroughly. Mu'er, I do not want to harm you, does not want to harm you......” 司婆婆转过头来,将剪刀放下,露出笑容,轻声道:“如来说,要破除心魔只有一个办法,让他彻底不再留恋这张面孔。牧儿,我不想害你们,更不想害你……” Qin Mu saw that she also mentioned the scissors, the tears could not stop get lost/rolled: „Granny, does not blame you...... I have not blamed you......” 秦牧看到她又提起剪刀,眼泪止不住滚了出来:“婆婆,不怪你……我从来没有怪过你……” „I cannot start!” “我下不了手！” Grandma Si is dejected, puts down the scissors, said with a smile: „Mu'er, you help me.” 司婆婆颓然,放下剪刀,笑道:“牧儿,你来帮我。” Qin Mu sets out from the bed, received the scissors from her hand, places in her small basket gently. 秦牧从床上起身,从她手里接过剪刀,轻轻放在她的小篮子里。 „Does not blame you, anybody is unable to blame you, you have hidden for more than 40 years, more than 40 years have not seen with own eyes the person with the proper face.” “不怪你,任何人都无法怪你,你已经躲了40多年了,40多年没有用真面目见人。” He squats, raises head to look that beautiful must unable to find the second face, that is the appearance/portrait of close person oneself raise. Qin Mu shows the smiling face: „Trades to be me, insisted that a day two days, insisted but actually more than 40 years, I cannot insist. Grows into any appearance, is not your mistake. Which beautiful female is willing forever to cover oneself face, sees the person with an old face?” 他蹲下来,仰头看着那张美得找不到第二张的面孔,那是把自己养大的至亲之人的真容。秦牧露出笑容:“换做我,坚持一天两天倒也罢了,坚持40多年,我坚持不下来。长成什么样子,不是你的错。哪个美丽的女子愿意永远遮住自己的脸,用一张苍老的脸去见人？” He stands up, said: „Granny, Li Tianxing I will solve him. You stay here, I go to Bazhou, there possibly has an accident.” 他站起身来,道:“婆婆,厉天行我会将他解决掉的。你留在这里,我去霸州,那里可能出事。” Grandma Si nods gently. 司婆婆轻轻点头。 Qin Mu goes out of the room, then said with a smile: „Granny, should eat to drink, do not maltreat themselves.” 秦牧走出房间,回头笑道:“婆婆,该吃吃该喝喝,不要虐待自己。” „Brat, taught me!” Grandma Si gets angry to say. “臭小子,又来教训我了！”司婆婆嗔怒道。 Qin Mu laughs, a foot kicks to awake Dragon Qilin, shouted: „Also rests? Gets up to hurry along!” 秦牧哈哈一笑,一脚踢醒龙麒麟,喝道:“还睡？起来赶路！”
