Next morning, outside Chengde County east gate. 翌日清晨,承德县东门外。 Zhongli Jiujiu stands in the minute/share of crossing of major road, took out several packages of medicinal powder from the horse side travel bag, with the small name careful weighing, divides into two. 钟离玖玖站在官道的分叉口,从马侧的行囊里取出了几包药粉,用小称仔细称量,一分为二。 Zhu Manzhi is binding the goose yellow small lined jacket, small face full is earnest, with Ye Ying stands, looking at steadily is staring, but also whispered low voice: 祝满枝裹着鹅黄色的小袄,小脸儿满是认真,和夜莺站在一起,目不转睛的盯着,还小声嘀咕: „Older Zhong, you cannot eccentric, she follows you to go out, the advantage of being close to somebody will definitely find the way to give the private lesson, if is asking you to want, you cannot give her......” “大钟,你可不能偏心,她跟着你们出去,近水楼台肯定会想办法开小灶,若是问你要的话,你可不能给她……” Ye Ying link small arm, big braid after the brain dangles, the figure is straight, the expression is light: 夜莺环着小胳膊,大辫子自脑后垂下,身形笔直,表情平淡: „We are fight, is not the winter roaming, where has the time to make these.” “我们是去打架,又不是冬游,哪有时间弄这些。” „In any case is fairly, the Jianghu person results in the blood sisters clearly to do accounts, we may also not be the sisters......” “反正就是得公平,江湖人得亲姐妹明算账,咱们可还不是姐妹……” Whisper. 嘀嘀咕咕。 Another side of the major road, Xu Buling is leading a horse to walk, went to a personal letter from the bosom, gives Ning Yuhe: 官道另一侧,许不令牵着马行走,从怀里去了一封亲笔信,递给宁玉合: „Master, after going back, making Xiao Qi give to my Royal Father this letter/believes as soon as possible.” “师父,回去之后,让萧绮把这封信尽快送给我父王。” Ning Yuhe received the envelope to admit the bosom, in the clear spring double pupil obviously has several points not to abandon, then after looking at eye three young lady, approached several points slightly, is sticking to the Xu Buling sleeve: 宁玉合接过信封放进怀里,清泉双眸中明显带着几分不舍,回头瞄了眼三个姑娘后,稍微靠近了几分,紧贴着许不令的袖子: „Encounters a difficulty must show off power not, pays attention to Qingye...... also to have, Zhongli Jiujiu that young married woman, you must guard against some, must be deceived by her not, she gives a ladder the temper that dares the best room to strip off roof tiles......” “遇事莫要逞强,注意着清夜……还有,钟离玖玖那婆娘,你一定要防着些,莫要被她骗了,她可是给个梯子就敢上房揭瓦的性子……” The Xu Buling smile is compatible, sees Manzhi they not to pay attention, the hand under sleeve placed Ning Yuhe secretly behind, pinched pinching: „Knows.” 许不令笑容亲和,见满枝她们没注意,袖子下的手偷偷放在了宁玉合的身后,捏了捏:“知道啦。” „Ling'er, you are more proper......” “令儿,你正经些……” The Ning Yuhe supple graceful cheeks appear for several points to blush, has not actually moved aside, whatever the apprentice is frivolous, lowered the head to look at one: „Matter that...... also has Shougong Sand nearby...... you are not, I take a bath must secretly, time long Manzhi affirmation suspicion......” 宁玉合柔婉的脸颊显出几分红晕,却没有躲闪,任由徒弟轻薄着,低头瞄了一眼:“还有……还有守宫砂的事儿……你不在跟前,我连洗澡都得偷偷的,时间久了满枝肯定怀疑……” Xu Buling thinks: „Master is hiding carefully also good, if cannot keep, looks for Xiang'er, the pigment is she matches, she can help the master first mark.” 许不令想了想:“师父小心藏着也行,若是藏不住,就去找湘儿,颜料都是她配的,她可以帮师父先画上。” Ning Yuhe hears this saying, the complexion slightly startled, frowns saying: „Xiang'er...... did she know?” 宁玉合听见这话,脸色微惊,蹙眉道:“湘儿……她知道了？” „Xiang'er is intelligent, daily rests the same place with me, how possibly unable to look that...... the master you do not worry, Xiang'er will not laugh your, after going back, our three people together......” “湘儿聪明着,天天和我睡一起,怎么可能看不出来……师父你别担心,湘儿不会笑话你的,等回去后,咱们三个人一起……” „Spat —” “啐—” Ning Yuhe shakes the head hastily, to far several steps, turns the body horse, then said: „Manzhi, walks.” 宁玉合连忙摇头,离远了几步,翻身上马,回头道:“满枝,走啦。” Xu Buling shrugs the arm: „Sits to chat together, what is not together that master your anxious what?” 许不令耸了耸肩膀:“一起坐下来聊聊而已,又不是一起那啥,师父你紧张个什么？” Ning Yuhe understands now the Xu Buling real appearance, really by that time, was not Xu Buling said anything was anything. The Ning Yuhe expression was slightly strange, hesitated, saw Manzhi to run over, said one low voice: 宁玉合如今可是了解了许不令的真实模样,真到那时候,还不是许不令说什么是什么。宁玉合表情略显古怪,迟疑了下,见满枝跑了过来,小声说了一句: „Xiang'er agreed, can say anything for the master......” “湘儿同意,为师又能说什么……” The words fall are then riding a horse hastily, Zhu Manzhi that fished running over, ran toward the major road distant place. 话落便连忙骑着马,一把捞起了跑过来的祝满枝,往官道远方跑去。 Zhu Manzhi is holding the small package, was clamped under the Ning Yuhe arm, eyah eyah somewhat annoyed say/way: „Older Ning, you make anything, I have not said goodbye with Young Master Xu......” 祝满枝抱着小包裹,被夹在宁玉合胳膊底下,咿咿呀呀有些恼火的道:“大宁,你做什么呀,我还没和许公子道别呢……” Xu Buling looks funnily, lifted the hand to wield wielding distantly: 许不令看着好笑,遥遥抬手挥了挥: „Manzhi, on road slow, takes care of the master.” “满枝,路上慢点,照顾好师傅。” Sits down turning that Zhu Manzhi has enough to do to Ning Yuhe behind, is holding the waist of Ning Yuhe, comes back to smile saying: „Young Master Xu bon voyage......” 祝满枝很吃力的翻到宁玉合背后坐下,抱着宁玉合的腰,回过头来笑眯眯道:“许公子一路顺风……” The horse's hoof rushes about, the sound is increasingly estranged. 马蹄奔波,声音渐行渐远。 Xu Buling gazes after their horse to vanish after the major road end, turned around to step up to chasing wind horse, stepped major road that went to the Western Liaoning county: 许不令目送两人一马消失在官道尽头后,转身跨上了追风马,踏上了前往辽西郡的官道: „Young Lady Jiujiu, walks.” “玖玖姑娘,走吧。” The Zhongli Jiujiu side sits in scarlet immediately, old enemy Ning Yuhe ran, her manner manner restored the fairy maiden elder sister's aloof appearance, the gentle nod, urged on a horse in front...... 钟离玖玖侧坐在大红马上,宿敌宁玉合跑了,她神态举止又恢复了仙子姐姐的高冷模样,温婉点头,驱马走在了前面…… ------- ------- Huge waves pound agaist the shore, the day sea is boundless. 惊涛拍岸,天海无垠。 Youzhou is the Great Yue remote area, the Western Liaoning county is Youzhou the place of edge, vast territory with a sparse population and country are barren, except for the grand beautiful scene of mountain sea interlocking, then did not have any remarkable thing. 幽州算是大玥的偏远之地,辽西郡则是幽州的边缘之地,地广人稀、乡野贫瘠,除了山海相接的壮丽美景,便没了什么可圈可点的东西。 At noon, Ning Qingye rides the horses that is snatching, strolls to walk in the coastal wilderness, is seeking for the traces in snow surface. 中午时分,宁清夜骑着抢来的马匹,在滨海的旷野上漫步行走,寻找着雪面上的蛛丝马迹。 Was born in Land of Shu, grew up in Evergreen Monastery, side Ning Qingye has not come to cross ocean, found the field of vision end a day sea color, in the eye actually cannot live what interest. 出生在蜀地,又在长青观长大,宁清夜并没有来过海边,瞧见视野尽头的天海一色,眼中却生不起什么兴趣。 The Fanyang county Jinghong glance, discovered Li Hansheng below falls behind, Ning Qingye then followed to pursue. Li Hansheng horse is too fast, can only see the back, the meaning without stopped. She snatched several horses to pursue along the way hardly, after may follow arrived in the Western Liaoning county, lost the Li Hansheng trail, can only aimless searching high and low. 范阳郡惊鸿一瞥,发现厉寒生的下落后,宁清夜便跟着追了过来。厉寒生的马太快,只能看到背影,没有停下来的意思。她沿途抢了几匹马硬追,可跟到辽西郡后,还是失去了厉寒生的踪迹,只能漫无目的的四处寻找。 She knows that she could not kill Li Hansheng , after did not know caught up with Li Hansheng, should make anything, spelled to go all-out to pursue, but wants to have a look at that wife and daughters to fall into the man who the hopeless situation did not attend, will say anything to her. 她知道自己杀不了厉寒生,也不知道追上厉寒生后该做什么,拼尽全力追过来,只是想看看那个连妻女陷入绝境都不顾的男人,会对她说些什么。 Although has not caught up, but at this moment, Ning Qingye also understood probably. 虽然没追上,不过此时此刻,宁清夜好像也明白了。 Is speechless. 无话可说。 Stops to accept the courage of interrogation not to have continually face to face, but can also count on that what thing he did say? 连停下来当面接受质问的勇气都没有,还能指望他说出什么东西？ The sea breeze is chilly , in the wilderness had the snow in big flakes. 海风清冷,不知不觉间,旷野上又下起了鹅毛大雪。 Ning Qingye is leading a horse to arrive in woods, climbs up heaven ancient wood, by sitting on branch, is hugging arm glance present endless coastal Nohara. 宁清夜牵着马来到了一个树林间,爬上苍天古木,靠坐在树枝上,抱着胳膊扫视眼前的无尽滨海野原。 The body skirt is not thick, the biting cold cold wind is mixing with the wind and snow, making the four limbs frozen somewhat uncomfortable. Looks at the present heavy snow day, why does not know, remembered that very warmly very warm fox fur coat, delivers her the person of fox fur coat. 身上的裙子不厚,彻骨的寒风夹杂着风雪,让四肢冻的有些难受。看着眼前的大雪天,不知为何,又想起了那件很暖和很暖和的狐裘,还有送她狐裘的人。 That seems like her to accept besides the master for the first time, gift that others give. 那好像是她第一次接受除师父之外,其他人送的礼物。 Ning Qingye is less than ten years old, then went to the long mountain, became an apprentice of female taoist priest. Is bound by a common destiny, in the incense and candle dreary small Daoist temple, possibly cannot see several bystanders all year round, to the concept in sentimental, only has in own imagination, is quite slow, the unfeeling is suave, but the gratitude and grudges are distinct. 宁清夜不到十岁,便上了长青山,成了一个女道士的徒弟。相依为命,待在香火惨淡的小道观里,可能一年到头也见不到几个外人,对感情方面的概念,都只存在自己的想象里,比较迟钝,不通人情世故,但恩怨分明。 Xu Buling has the graciousness in her, she naturally must. Wish is Xu Buling makes anything to repay the life-saving efforts, actually discovered that Xu Buling martial arts superior, powerful, as if anything does not lack, only seeks after her beauty! 许不令有恩于她,她自然就得还。想要为许不令做点什么报答救命之恩,却发现许不令武艺高强、位高权重,似乎什么都不缺,只贪图她的美色！ Ning Qingye long is so big, has not thought the matter of sentiment of men and women, although without becoming monk, but was raised by the master, has regarded itself the taoist priest, man that type of thing, is another species, how possibly by body Xu...... 宁清夜长这么大,从没想过男女之情的事儿,虽然没有出家,但被师父带大,已经把自己当成道士了,男人那种东西,是另一个物种,怎么可能以身相许…… But Xu Buling went too far, her good intention inquired that the Locking Dragon Gu whereabouts repaid a debt of gratitude, hand over kissed her one. 可是许不令太过分了,她好心好意打听锁龙蛊的下落报恩,转手就亲了她一口。 Remembered ran away at that time, alone slow half a month, recovered consciousness. 记得当时跑掉,独自缓了个半月,才缓过来。 Hid many words at heart, what to do did not know should, to say with the master, but the master also disappeared, can only a person treat in the small Daoist temple, held that fox fur coat, how the thinking should solve this difficult problem. 心里藏了很多话,不知道该怎么办,很想和师父说说,可师父也不见了,只能一个人待在小道观里,抱着那件狐裘,思索该怎么解决这个棘手的问题。 Afterward...... 后来…… Afterward what kind of, Ning Qingye records is actually unclear, went to Junshan Cao Family, had a reunion with Xu Buling again, did not have the billows, is not near without the wave, probably had not estimated that such experienced any troublesome matter. 后来怎么样,宁清夜倒是记不清了,去了君山曹家,和许不令再次重逢,无波无澜、不远不近,好像也没有预想中那样遇到什么麻烦事儿。 Now and Manzhi they treated for a long time, liked on the person many living actually, big group of people lived in a courtyard, created a disturbance and chats, in the day with Evergreen Monastery was entirely different, the master also very liked probably, therefore she remained. 如今和满枝她们待久了,倒是喜欢上人多的生活了,一大堆人住在一个院子里,打打闹闹、说说笑笑,和长青观里的日子截然不同,师父好像也挺喜欢的,所以她就留下来了。 Later how, Ning Qingye will not have gone to think, may not really return to Evergreen Monastery again, but the following master and Xu Buling go to Suzhou, builds a small Daoist temple again, then crosses...... 以后会怎么样,宁清夜从来没去想过,可能真的不会再回长青观,而是跟着师父、许不令去肃州,重新修一个小道观,然后就这么过下去吧…… Sits in the sea breeze rustle the snow forests, the Ning Qingye slender arm is holding the knee, now and future confused interwines no use, making the chilly look look somewhat dull. 坐在海风簌簌的雪林间,宁清夜修长的胳膊抱着膝盖,现在和未来的迷茫无助交织在一起,让清冷的眼神看起来有些呆呆的。 When is lost in thought that Ning Qingye heard the paper suddenly by the sound that the wind moves. 正在出神之际,宁清夜忽然听到了纸张被风吹动的声音。 Rustle —— 沙沙—— In the snow forest does not have the living creature, this sound was too obviously towering. 雪林中没有活物,这个声音显然太突兀了。 Ning Qingye recovered, gripped the sword hilt of saber, looked to the origin of sound, actually found the distant place of below woods, does not know when stood the middle-aged student, the left hand held the black oiled paper umbrella, the right hand holds the paint brush, outlined on fine writing paper, fine writing paper hung on the tree trunk, was blown an corner/horn by the sea breeze. 宁清夜回过神来,握住了佩剑的剑柄,看向声音的来源,却瞧见下方树林的远处,不知何时站了个中年书生,左手撑着黑色油纸伞,右手持着画笔,在宣纸上勾勒,宣纸挂在树干上,被海风吹起了一角。 „Xu Danqing?” “徐丹青？” Ning Qingye froze, previous time in Xiao Family's Manor, has found Xu Danqing one slightly by far, does not understand that this famous biography land under heaven Saint of Painting, how came to here bewilderedly, but also gave to find her. 宁清夜稍微愣了下,上次在萧家庄,远远瞧见过徐丹青一眼,不明白这个名传天下的画圣,怎么莫名其妙来了这里,还把她给找到了。 Ning Qingye just wants to jump to ask, painting Xu Danqing, lifts the paint brush hastily, with a smile genial say/way: 宁清夜正想跳下去问问,正在作画的徐丹青,连忙抬起画笔,含笑和煦道: „young lady do not move heedlessly, just now such very well looked, immediately drew......” “姑娘别乱动,就方才那样挺好看,马上就画完了……” Drew...... 画完了…… Ning Qingye on the branch, in the double pupil appears several points of strange meaning stiffly. She naturally understands that Xu Danqing is making anything now, possibly starting tomorrow, she wanted to raise land under heaven! 宁清夜僵在树枝上,双眸中显出几分奇怪意味。她自然明白徐丹青现在在做什么,可能从明天起,她就要名扬天下了！ The master was the head of Xuanhe Eight Beauties, Ning Qingye sees since childhood, had not thought that had anything to be fierce, was far less than Sword Saint to be solid, she was colorful since childhood a remoteness, this caring, not becoming new Eight Beauties was not unusual, has not become is not rare. 师父是宣和八魁之首,宁清夜从小见多了,也没觉得有什么厉害的,远不如剑圣实在,她自幼艳名远扬,也一直不把这个放在心上,成了新八魁不稀奇,没成也不稀罕。 But she has not thought, can be in a daze the time in this horn corner far away from Central Plain, by Xu Danqing finding. 可她怎么也没想到,能在这种远离中原的犄角旮旯发呆了时候,被徐丹青给找到了。 Ning Qingye hesitated slightly, does not know that remembered Manzhi and Fubao envies the Chuchu / neat small look, the advice that finally obeys, has not moved , to continue to hold the knee by sitting on the tree, inquired: 宁清夜稍微迟疑了下,不知是不是想起了满枝和芙宝羡慕楚楚的小眼神,最终听从的劝告,没有动弹,继续抱着膝盖靠坐在树上,询问道: „Senior Xu, how did you find my?” “徐前辈,你怎么找到我的？” Xu Danqing writes to paint, from time to time looks up one: 徐丹青执笔作画,时而抬头看一眼: „Passed by chance, gave to bump into, calculates that the luck was good.” “碰巧路过,就给撞见了,也算运气好吧。” The Ning Qingye temper is straight, but is not silly, looked at the bleak region of this empire border area, inquired: 宁清夜性子直,但是不傻,看了看这帝国边疆的荒凉地域,询问道: „How will Senior Xu come to here?” “徐前辈怎么会来这里？” Xu Danqing hehe smiled under: „Has a look at the scenery, Xu Buling was also probably about to come, did young lady wait for him here?” 徐丹青呵呵笑了下:“过来看看风景,许不令好像也快过来了,姑娘是在这里等他？” Ning Qingye hears this saying, slightly froze. 宁清夜听见这话,稍微愣了下。 Xu Buling arrives in the Fanyang county time, Ning Qingye has left, therefore in the Ning Qingye cognition, Xu Buling should travel by boat to return to Suzhou to get married. 许不令抵达范阳郡的时候,宁清夜已经离开,因此在宁清夜的认知里,许不令应该坐着船回肃州结婚去了。 „Will Xu Buling come to Youzhou? Is inadequate for the Tang Family matter?” “许不令怎么会来幽州？是为了唐家的事儿不成？” „The Tang Family matter has solved, Tang Jiao was picked the brains by your master, comes to here, should to look for a type of thing.” “唐家的事儿已经解决了,唐蛟被你师父摘了脑袋瓜,到这里来,应该是为了找样东西吧。” Ning Qingye is perplexed: „What thing looks for?” 宁清夜不明所以:“找什么东西？” Xu Danqing shakes the head: „In any case is very important thing, I am not clear.” 徐丹青摇了摇头:“反正是个挺重要的物件儿,我也不清楚。” "Oh......" “哦……” Ning Qingye slightly has doubts obviously, but had not said, obediently and honestly holds the knee to sit on the tree, after moment, asked one: 宁清夜略显疑惑,不过也没有多说,老老实实抱着膝盖坐在树上,等了片刻后,又问了一句: „Teacher Xu, which ranking of beautiful woman am I considered to be?” “徐先生,我算是第几美人？” Xu Danqing hears this, shows several points of bright smile, shakes the head: 徐丹青听到这个,露出几分明朗笑容,摇了摇头: „All picturesque young lady, except Cui Xiaowan, have asked similar words, on young lady you most direct.” “所有入画的姑娘,除开崔小婉,都问过类似的话,就姑娘你最直接。” Ning Qingye long, shapely eyebrows is light: „Right? Has my master also asked?” 宁清夜柳眉轻蹙:“是吗？我师父也问过？” „That natural, your master 15-16, hit one set of sword dance in the past, what asked was ‚how I compares with the front seven elder sisters?’, What Xiao Xiang'er said is ‚I am land under heaven first, understands?’, Zhongli Chuchu said is ‚does not draw either, either land under heaven first’, hehe......” “那当然,你师父当年15-16,打了一套剑舞,问的是‘我和前面七个姐姐比起来如何？’,萧湘儿说的是‘我是天下第一,明白没？’,钟离楚楚说的也是‘要么不画,要么天下第一’,呵呵……” „How did the mister reply?” “那先生怎么回答的？” „How can also reply, world is in sole possession, said other was definitely killed, only after can leave, said in secret secretly......” “还能怎么回答,世间独有呗,说别的肯定被打死,只能离开后私下里偷偷说……” The Ning Qingye leaning head, pondered over slightly, understood the meaning, had not asked that again arranges several issue, then said: 宁清夜微微偏头,琢磨了下,明白了意思,没有再问排第几的问题,转而道: „Why hasn't Empress Cui asked this?” “崔皇后为什么没问这个？” The Xu Danqing paint brush , the thinking, shook the head slightly sighs in a soft voice: 徐丹青画笔顿了下,略微思索,摇头轻声一叹: „Beauty-loving heart, the person all has it, but always has the exception. That young lady was too eccentric, how possibly has not paid attention to itself to grow, should not draw at that time actually, after the liquor messes things up, harmed person young lady miserably......” “爱美之心,人皆有之,但总有例外。那姑娘太孤僻了,可能从来都没注意自己长得如何,当时其实不该画的,酒后误事,把人姑娘害惨了……” After Ning Qingye hear of masters have spoken ‚the Xu Danqing liquor, astrays peach blossom forest’ matter, at that time was the wind sound/rumor that Cui Family put secretly brings in Xu Danqing, afterward entered the palace to become the empress, was crushed with grief young. Is planning of princes, is actually not big with Empress Cui and Xu Danqing relations, change result. 宁清夜听师父讲过‘徐丹青酒后误入桃花林’的事儿,当时是崔家暗地里放的风声把徐丹青引来的,后来进宫成为皇后,又年纪轻轻郁郁而终。都是帝王将相的算计,其实和崔皇后、徐丹青关系不大,也改变不了结果。 Ning Qingye is slightly silent, actually does not know how should appraise. 宁清夜稍微沉默,却也不知该如何评价。 A moment later, Xu Danqing received the gift of the emperor fountain pen, took the picture scroll to arrive under the tree, gave Ning Qingye. 片刻之后,徐丹青收起了御赐金笔,拿着画卷走到树下,递给宁清夜。 Ning Qingye jumped down from the branch, received the picture scroll, carefully read in the —— picture scroll flying snow day after day and this solitary one to the sea, in vast world, female by sitting on branch, is putting the long sword on hand, looked into the distance, can only see a profile, although the writing technique was succinct, but the charm actually carved the picture track in the bone, even if were she seems like, there is a very deep familiarity. 宁清夜从树枝上跳下来,接过画卷,仔细看了眼——画卷上飞雪连天、孤枝向海,浩渺天地之间,女子靠坐在树枝上,手边放着长剑,眺望远方,只能看到一张侧脸,虽然笔法简练朴素,但神韵却刻画道了骨子里,哪怕是她自己看起来,也有很深的熟悉感。 However Ning Qingye rarely contacted the things in which the literati take delight of these writers since childhood, except for seemingly comfortable, cannot see what way, immediately gets up the picture scroll, receives seriously. 不过宁清夜自幼很少接触这些文人的雅玩,除了看起来舒服,也看不出什么门道,当下把画卷起来,郑重收好。 Xu Danqing patted the palm, lifted the handle to stop in the horses of distant place to call, took down a package from horse side, wrapped not in a big way, roughly both hands just held, square, inside installed should be wooden box. 徐丹青拍了拍手掌,又抬手把停在远处的马匹唤了过来,从马侧取下一个包裹,包裹不大,约莫双手刚好捧起来,四四方方的,里面装的应该是个木盒子。 Xu Danqing gives Ning Qingye the small package: „Since met, you give me to bring a thing while convenient, gives Xu Buling.” 徐丹青把小包裹递给宁清夜:“既然遇上了,你顺便给我带点东西,交给许不令。” Ning Qingye received the small package, starts also a little to sink, she slightly has doubts obviously: 宁清夜接过小包裹,入手还有点沉,她略显疑惑: „The Western Liaoning county is so big, which do I to look for him?” “辽西郡这么大,我到哪儿去找他？” „I said a place to you, you wait there are being......” “我给你说个地方,你在那里等着便是……” "Oh......" “哦……”
