Wudang has several to offer incense in worship the Shintoism difference mountainous area, Xu Fengnian after Yu Dilong leaves the column peak, walks toward the prominent peak journey, meets the acquaintance in Lei jian of gulley big gully exactly, old True Person Chen Yao is getting pair of master and servant to walk toward the northern Shintoism, Xu Fengnian goes forward, once were inquired, knows that two outsiders admire the Wudang incense and candle grand occasion, after entering the mountain forgets to return, more walks is more remote, took the wrong road thoroughly. Is good because of being met by Chen Yao, has on the mountain road, old True Person talked to that middle-aged Confucian scholar really happy, fortunately tonight just when ten in May/five months round night, taking advantage of clear splendor, the night road also calculated everywhere, Xu Fengnian sharply was not returning to Xixiangchi, escorted to „a muscle came toward above this to the master and servant with Chen Yao the Shintoism together. The Confucian scholars have not known obviously Chen Yao is palm law True Person on Wudang Mountain, only considers the old Daoist in common poor Daoist temple, but sees this old daoist person style of speaking to be good, said that the Confucian scholars from Jiangnan Circuit farming and studying aristocratic family also treats with good manners heartfeltly. Xu Fengnian what kind of fierce look, looks at the clue all of a sudden, this scholar attire is simple, goes off to study the youngster not to show the riches and honor arrogance, but the youngster waist hangs the jade pendant is not ordinary, the lying deer looks back on the shape, the hatching outlines, lifelike, truly has the rare and precious thing of over a thousand years of years, stroked gently luminously as for that bamboo system book box may reflect, obviously was one generation passes on one generation of things, could handle the farming and studying aristocratic family four characters. The so-called bold valve background, manifests in these mild details. The middle-aged Confucian scholar with Chen Yao asked for advice «Pivot shaft Agreement Really» and «Left Hole Daoist scripture Massage Guiding Secret art» and so on Confucian classics doubts, Xu Fengnian looks all the way, although these scrip­tures are the Taoism training basic ancient books, is legitimate and mellow, by the successive dynasties Daoism Divine Immortal ordered by the emperor personally approval, and detailed annotation, the person of especially suitable lot of work snatching a little leisure from the busy schedules, so that matter merit keeping in good health without hampering the other. After Chen Yao the master and servant deliver to the main road, both sides depart after having a wonderful time, old True Person stands with Xu Fengnian shoulder to shoulder, gazes after this not to dismiss the thousand li (500 km) travelling far Beiliang Jiangnan Confucian scholar to go far away, said with a smile in a soft voice: What can Prince see?” 武当有数条敬香神道出入山区,徐凤年余地龙离开小柱峰后,走往主峰的路途中,在深沟大壑的雷公涧恰好遇上熟人,老真人陈繇正领着一对主仆往北神道上走,徐凤年上前一经询问,才知道那两个外乡人仰慕武当香火盛况,入山之后流连忘返,越走越偏僻,以至于彻底走岔了。好在被陈繇遇上,出山路上,老真人跟那个中年儒生相谈甚欢,所幸今夜正值十五月圆夜,借着满地清辉,夜路还算好走,徐凤年本就不急着回到洗象池,跟陈繇一起把这对主仆送往“一根筋”直来直往的神道之上。儒生显然还不知陈繇便是武当山上的掌律真人,只当是寻常贫寒道观的年迈道人,不过见此老道人谈吐不俗,自称来自江南道耕读世家的儒生也由衷以礼相待。徐凤年何等火眼金睛,一下子就瞧出端倪,这位读书人衣着朴素,负笈少年也不彰显富贵气焰,只是少年腰间所悬玉佩可不普通,卧鹿回首状,阴线勾勒,栩栩如生,真正是有着上千年岁月的珍稀物件了,至于那只竹制书箱也摩挲得光亮可鉴,显然是一代传一代的东西,当得起耕读世家四字。所谓豪阀门第的底蕴,就是在这些温润细节里体现的。中年儒生一路上跟陈繇讨教了《道枢契真篇》和《左洞真经按摩导引诀》之类的经书疑惑,徐凤年看得出来,这些经文虽是道教修养的入门典籍,却正统而醇厚,被历朝道门神仙钦定认可并且详细注释,尤其适宜事务繁忙之人的“忙里偷闲”,以便事功养生两不误。陈繇把主仆送到大路上后,双方尽欢而散,老真人徐凤年并肩而立,目送这位不辞千里远游北凉的江南儒士远去,轻声笑道:“王爷可看出什么了?” The Xu Fengnian nod said with a smile: Should be the Luming Song on Jiangnan Circuit, the voice tallies, few words disclosed solid educational foundation received from family elders that is also similar, although Song Family sets the base in the Spring and Autumn ten Dahao valves, but skinny camel is big, because family foundation situated in the Guangling river north, attaches to the royal government early, other relative several families involve not deeply, now in Liyang is the first rate wealthy and prominent family China, initially had/left two master's Capital City Song Family, before has not become famous, has to flaunt the Luming Song distantly related banner, can stand firm in Tai'an City. Hears Luming Song Family regarding that dismantling the bridge after crossing Song Family, but in secret complaint quite a lot.” 徐凤年点头笑道:“应该是江南道上的鹿鸣宋氏,口音符合,只字片语透露出来的家学渊源也相似,虽说宋家春秋十大豪阀里垫底,可瘦死骆驼比马大,而且因为家族根基位于广陵江以北,又早早依附朝廷,相对其它几个家族牵连不深,如今在离阳算是一等一的高门华族,当初出了一门两夫子的京城宋家,未成名前,也不得不打着鹿鸣宋氏远房偏支的旗号,才得以在太安城站稳脚跟。听说鹿鸣宋家对于那个过河拆桥的宋家,私底下可是怨言颇多的。” Chen Yao twists must say with a smile: If this poor Daoist has not guessed wrong, this person should be Luming Song Yeping young child Song Dongming, before handing down this child birth, there is an auspicious omen Bailu to rush to into the mansion, Song Dongming arises at the historic moment.” 陈繇捻须笑道:“若是贫道没有猜错,此人该是鹿鸣宋野苹的幼子宋洞明,相传此子出生前,有祥瑞白鹿奔入府邸,宋洞明应运而生。” Xu Fengnian has not thought can actually be Song Dongming kisses/intimate to Beiliang, knits the brows: This person of hidden one, in the surface that is royal government somebody picks in the spring Yonghui after flourishing Mao spring/lust is in unfavorable situation, many years indulge in the enjoyment of nature, actually have been dormant to gather the strength. Song Family these powerful families always like speculating everywhere, may put Beiliang a Song Dongming such important personage, probably was extremely rather risky.” 徐凤年倒是没有想到会是宋洞明亲至北凉,皱眉道:“此人是朝廷某人相中的隐相之一,表面上在永徽之春中跟殷茂春失利后,多年寄情山水,其实一直蛰伏蓄力。宋家这些门阀历来喜欢四处投机,可把宋洞明这么一个重要人物放到北凉,好像未免太过冒险了。” Chen Yao shakes the head, is sideways, looks at each other with Xu Fengnian face-to-face, asks: Prince whether thinks, once the Beimang whole nation goes south, Beiliang does lose wins few?” 陈繇摇了摇头,侧过身,与徐凤年面对面对视,问道:“王爷是否以为一旦北莽举国南下,北凉输多胜少?” Xu Fengnian does not conceal, tranquil say/way: If Empress Beimang only uses the strength of half country, only south goes south to invade toward the soldiers and horses, I have the absolute confidence to defend the Beiliang border, but if Beimang Empress king Zhang of arrives at the border pass, takes Beimang to hold the climate and phenomena of the solar terms and big General, even if Beiliang at this time has the inside and outside two defense lines, is impossible to keep off the Beimang oppression of the people. Franking, if not Chen Zhibao confers the title of prince upon Western Shu, whatever my Beiliang Xu Family builds the third largest defense line Western Shu Nanzhao, still had the confidence to tow Beimang that the dead whole nation goes south, in plan of my Master Li Yishan, near 200,000 on Beiliang border the army, in addition the quiet cool tomb three state areas, finally is the class/flow state western region and Western Shu Nanzhao this pocket, the progressive, may wrap up the Beimang 1 million armies layer upon layer fully. The royal government held the bottle to go to the western region and Chen Zhibao with imperial prince Zhao Kai confers the title of prince upon on the fence, disrupts aspect that Beiliang painstakingly planned, otherwise there are Shu imperial edict two places to take several thousand li (0.5 km) big depth, even if the border defeats, may still attack to defend, let alone five years, to the Beimang ten years, does not have the means to change over to the autochthonous zone!” 徐凤年也不隐瞒,平静道:“若是北莽女帝只动用半国之力,仅以南朝兵马南下入侵,我有十足信心守住北凉边境,可如果北莽女帝的王帐亲临边关,带上北莽所有持节令和大将军,北凉此时就算已经有了内外两条防线,还是不可能挡下北莽铁蹄。实不相瞒,如果不是陈芝豹封王西蜀,任由我北凉徐家西蜀南诏打造成第三条大防线,仍是有信心拖死举国南下的北莽,在我师父李义山的谋划中,北凉边境上的二十万边军,加上幽凉陵三州疆域,最后才是流州西域和西蜀南诏这个口袋,层层递进,足可兜住北莽的百万大军。只是朝廷先后用皇子赵楷持瓶赴西域和陈芝豹封王就藩,打乱了北凉苦心经营的局面,否则有蜀诏两地作为数千里大纵深,哪怕边境战败,仍旧可攻可守,别说五年,就是给北莽十年时间,也没办法转入中原地带!” Xu Fengnian are extremely few reveals the heart, particularly this kind of army country important matter, will not mention half a word on own initiative, was only he being on intimate terms was usually close to Wudang Mountain, Chen Yao was on the mountain the elder of noble character and high prestige, was old Headmaster Wang Chonglou Junior Brother, was Hong Xixiang Senior Brother, Xu Fengnian not least bit vigilance. Moreover a person, the chest has the anger liquor water pouring not, always needs to say several. With a bright moon and few stars, walks with Chen Yao together slowly in returning to the mountain Shintoism, Xu Fengnian continues saying: „After pitifully Master passed away, his established strategy, I do not have the means to preserve, at that time I defeated Wang Xianzhi, two choices, nearby goes to Western Shu, massacred to go bad Chen Zhibao of Beiliang important matter, even if shouldering the given name of rebellion, must put in the bag since old times easily defensible Western Shu. Another is to go far away Dragon Tiger Mountain, massacres personal enemy Zhao Huangchao. Stemming from the selfishness, I still chose the latter, although was dark during at that time has induced, thought that kills Zhao Huangchao compared with killing Chen Zhibao is easier, but then looks now again, is due to the selfishness in the final analysis, now often remembers, always thought that the conscience is anxious.” 徐凤年极少跟人吐露心扉,尤其是这类军国大事,更不会主动跟人提起半句,只是他跟武当山素来相亲相近,陈繇又是山上德高望重的长辈,是老掌教王重楼师弟,也是洪洗象师兄,徐凤年并无半点戒心。而且一个人,胸有块垒酒水浇不尽,总是需要说出口几句的。月明星稀,跟陈繇一同缓缓走在返山神道上,徐凤年继续说道:“可惜师父去世后,他既定的策略,我都没办法保住,当时我战胜了王仙芝,有两个选择,一个是就近去西蜀,杀掉坏了北凉大计的陈芝豹,哪怕背负着造反的名号,也要把自古易守难攻的西蜀收入囊中。另外一个则是远去龙虎山,杀掉仇人赵黄巢。出于私心,我仍是选择了后者,虽说当时冥冥之中有所感应,觉得杀赵黄巢比起杀陈芝豹更容易,但如今回头再看,说到底还是出于私心,如今每每想起,总觉得良心不安。” Xu Fengnian smiles, seems a little awkward, said in a soft voice: Naturally, the remembered number of times are actually not many, in addition now, twice.” 徐凤年笑了笑,似乎有点尴尬,轻声说道:“当然,想起的次数其实不多,加上现在,也就两次。” Chen Yao smiles, Master of this poor Daoist had told several of us, the spiritual cultivation said that was easy, said was difficult, was actually is the true colors person, spoke the root soul talk, made the circumstances.’ In this poor Daoist opinion, spiritual cultivation to obtain enlightenment indisputable . The person of being alive, everyone is all practicing, is making the choices, therefore had lost to get little support, obtaining enlightenment helped view. Since Prince has a frank and sincere talk, this poor Daoist might also as well spoke some innermost thoughts, if there is the place of disrespecting......, this poor Daoist believes that Prince will not vent anger in Wudang Mountain, Prince these year of actions, the mind trustworthy. Many room multi- winds, this is the common sense, Beiliang is so, Prince assumes northwest the dynasty, in Gu Jiantang big General with that east line faces directly the Beimang cavalry together, is prince of a different surname is also good, was scolded as Second Emperor, this is the responsibility that the Xu Family first wife's eldest son should shoulder, whose several sarcastic remarks cannot because of shirk, Wudang several generations are willing to be intimate with big General Xu Xiao, favors on the mountain except for big General daoist, more this poor Daoist Senior Brother younger brothers, respect the acting of big General. Prince as the Xu Family new head of household, the dynasty cool weather of early autumn king, Wudang Mountain that this poor Daoist is in on the whole, is satisfied, but a little, this poor Daoist really cannot tolerate, today has to speak out, must make Prince know.” 陈繇会心一笑,“贫道的师父曾经跟我们几个说过,修道说易不易,说难不难,其实不过是‘做本色人,说根心话,做有情事。’在贫道看来,修道是为了得道,无可厚非。在世之人,人人皆在修炼,在做取舍,故而才有了‘失道者寡助,得道者多助’的说法。既然王爷开诚布公,贫道也不妨说些心里话,若有不敬之处……嗯,贫道相信王爷也不会迁怒于武当山,王爷这些年所作所为,胸襟还是值得信任的。多门之室多风,这是常理,北凉便是如此,王爷坐镇王朝西北,与那东线上的顾剑棠大大将军一同直面北莽铁骑,是异姓王也好,被骂为二皇帝也罢,这是徐家嫡长子该承担的责任,不可因谁的几句风凉话而推卸,武当几代人都愿意亲近大将军徐骁,除了大将军厚待山上道士,更多还是贫道师兄弟们,敬重大将军的担当。王爷作为徐家新家主,王朝新凉王,贫道所在的武当山在大体上,都是满意的,可有一点,贫道实在是看不过眼,今日不吐不快,需让王爷知道。” Xu Fengnian said with a smile: True Person but said might as well. The word of praise hears, the malicious remarks do not record the heart.” 徐凤年笑道:“真人但说无妨。好话就入耳,坏话不记心。” Chen Yao looked at eye benign young Regional Prince, said seriously: Prince you were depressed are too heavy!” 陈繇看了眼和颜悦色的年轻藩王,一本正经说道:“王爷你暮气太重了!” How Xu Fengnian has not thought that is such view, suddenly had nothing to say in reply, did not know whether to laugh or cry. 徐凤年怎么都没想到是这么个说法,一时间无言以对,哭笑不得。 The old Daoist said panting: Prince in the final analysis is 20 over youngster, is the character of reaching rivers and lakes, should be the highest -spirited time, what kind of so lethargic, lived eighty years of old man also vicissitudes mentalities compared with this poor Daoist this? Hey, did not say that this poor Daoist in Prince this age, is Headmaster Senior Brother , the different will arrogances are full, that little while first is the Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhao Xiyi Zhao Xituan two brothers climbs mountains asking also to ask sword, king Senior Brother beat and scolded others not to have the temperament not saying that but also travelled far at the back of the Master under Wudang losses sword alone, mounted Dragon Tiger Mountain, returned the favor, first in that tone the oneself heart had/left nimble and efficient, after returning to the mountain, how was confined to barracks to close up by Master thinks of faults? Our Master, are working as big Senior Brother surface hasty words and stern countenance, flies into a rage, after he closes Senior Brother, immediately smiled the bosom to our several, that mouth, but several days could not close up, saw anyone to smile. However after Master walked, the king Senior Brother thoughts were also heavy, to leading small Junior Brother is climbing mountains, many.” 年迈道人气咻咻道:“王爷说到底不过是二十出头的年轻人,又是登顶江湖的人物,本该是最意气风发的时候,怎的如此暮气沉沉,比贫道这活了八十几年的老头子还沧桑心态?嘿,不说贫道在王爷这个岁数,便是掌教师兄,也不一样志骄气盈,那会儿先是龙虎山赵希翼赵希抟兄弟两人上山‘问道’又‘问剑’,王师兄打骂得人家没脾气不说,还背着师父独自下武当剑远游,登上龙虎山,还以颜色,先把自己心中那口气出爽利了,回山之后被师父禁足闭关思过又如何?咱们那位师父啊,当着大师兄的面疾言厉色,大动肝火,等到他老人家把师兄关起来后,马上就对咱们几位笑开了怀,那嘴巴,可是好几天都合不拢,见谁都笑。不过师父走了以后,王师兄心思也就重了,一直到领着小师弟上山,才好些。” Xu Fengnian both hands gather together in the sleeve, keeps silent, but some heart warm feelings. 徐凤年双手拢在袖中,默不作声,但心底有些暖意。 Chen Yao said with a smile suddenly: This poor Daoist slightly passes the divination book, two good news to say, when thanked Prince also presented as a gift the action of Great Yellow Court.” 陈繇突然笑道:“贫道略通谶纬,有两个好消息要说,就当感谢王爷的还赠大黄庭之举。” Xu Fengnian said half jokingly: If is really the good news, my complying makes the column peak the three years later incense and candles not lose the Wudang prominent peak, even if Beimang really intrudes in Beiliang, I will also preserve column peak lineage/vein.” 徐凤年半开玩笑道:“如果真是好消息,我就答应让小柱峰三年后的香火不输武当主峰,哪怕北莽真的闯入北凉境内,我也会保住小柱峰一脉。” Chen Yao stares saying: First not reaching an agreement news, Prince has a matter to record sincerely, is the heart honest person, more must say cautiously! How could it not be to hear language to become prophecy/omen? When the antiquity worthy people of former times created the writing, the heaven sobbed, here had the big art. Now Zhao Shi dynasty chooses Yu language as Mandarin/bureaucratic language, is attentive deep. This involves extremely complex fortune-telling destiny!” 陈繇瞪眼道:“先不说好消息,王爷有一件事须谨记,越是心诚之人,越要慎言!岂不闻一语成谶?上古先贤创造文字之时,苍天哭泣,这里头可是有大讲究的。如今赵室王朝选择豫语作为官话,更是用心深沉。这都涉及到极为复杂的命理气数!” Xu Fengnian nods, did not argue. 徐凤年点了点头,不争辩。 The Chen Yao facial expression relaxed several points, said with a smile: „A good news, Lord benevolence air/Qi of white flood dragon, goes north to go to coolly from South Sea. The second good news, the air/Qi of black flood dragon then the share of lord murders, enters Beiliang from east to west.” 陈繇神情缓和了几分,笑道:“一个好消息,是有一股主仁德的白蛟之气,自南海北上赴凉。第二个好消息,则是有一股主杀伐的黑蛟之气,自东往西入北凉。” Xu Fengnian thinks, the doubts said: „The former should be the practicing breathing exercises gentleman of South Sea Guanyin sect. Latter?” 徐凤年想了想,疑惑说道:“前者应该是南海观音宗的练气士。后者?” A Chen Yao face old god, is not leaking the secret. 陈繇一脸老神在在,并不泄露天机。 Xu Fengnian some do not dare to believe that thought aloud: Also really came?” 徐凤年有些不敢置信,自言自语道:“难道还真来了?” The Chen Yao smile said: In addition Song Dongming of that Confucianist, Beiliang gradually obtaining enlightenment. Prince also thought that at this time Beiliang can lose without doubt? On this day under the destiny has the fate, being in inverse proportion, the Liyang royal government first commits suicide its deer, latter has Tai'an City several people to leave one after another quietly, in Zhaoshi, is not the good sign. But to Beiliang to Prince, is actually once in a thousand years, must unable to miss!” 陈繇微笑道:“加上那儒家的宋洞明,北凉可谓逐渐‘得道’矣。王爷此时还觉得北凉必输无疑?这天下气运有定数,此消彼长,离阳朝廷先是自杀其鹿,后有太安城接连数人悄然出走,于赵室而言,可不是什么好兆头。但对北凉王爷来说,却是千载难逢,务必不能错失了!” Yu Dilong looks at Master. 余地龙看着师父 The imposing manner is towering. 气势峥嵘。 Has the python to raise the head. 身后有蟒抬头。 The air/Qi to/clashes the bullfight. 气冲斗牛。
