Lunar New Year's Eve, in the morning, northeast corner of the Divine Capital City imperial palace, far away from the place of bustling streets, has ringing the reading sound from a Miyag floating. 除夕,清晨时分,在神都城皇宫东北角,远离闹市的地方,有朗朗读书声从一座宫城之中飘然而出。 ------ Jixia Academy. ------稷下学宫。 The Literary Dao sacred place that the world person yearns , the innumerable years, does not know that many scholars take advanced courses here, then has the officer to enter, benefits. Even Royal Court imperial civil service examination, the successful candidate who if selects has not obtained the approval of Jixia Academy, that will not be accepted by the world person. 天下人向往的文道圣地,无数年来,不知道有多少读书人在这里进修,而后出官入相,造福一方。甚至连朝廷的科举,若是选拔出的进士没有得到稷下学宫的认可,那也不会被天下人所接受。 The place of being situated occupies a land area of thousand mu, in solemn city. 其坐落之处更是占地千亩,俨然一座城中之城。 However what is different from the imperial palace, Jixia Academy does not abstain from the bystander to enter, the person who each studies sincerely, can enter study the palace very much with ease, but if has ulterior motives, that will only halt in study the palace entrance, it is said this is studies the Literary Saint words before imperial city gate to be the result. 不过和皇宫不同的是,稷下学宫并不忌讳外人进入,每一个诚心求学的人,都可以很轻松地进入学宫,但若是心怀鬼胎的话,那只会在学宫门口止步不前,据说这是学宫门前的文圣笔墨所致。 Studies student who Miyamoto body will also recruit the suitable part every year. 学宫本身每年也会招收相当部分的学生。 These students or the civilians, or the aristocrat, study the palace to treat impartially, does not have any favors, but after these students finish an apprenticeship, will have a large number to stay in study in the palace, becomes study the teacher in palace, continues to take advanced courses, gradually also became Imperial College in the world eyes. 这些学生或是平民,或是贵族,学宫都会一视同仁,没有任何偏袒,而这些学生出师后会有相当一部分留在学宫内,成为学宫的导师,亦或是继续进修,久而久之也就成了世人眼中的国子监。 But in study the palace, the most noticeable construction altogether has 11. 而在学宫中,最引人注目的建筑一共有十一座。 And three Abbot palaces are located in study the center of palace. 其中三座主殿位于学宫的中央。 The left side was Spring and Autumn Palace, hearsay inside recorded the history book material of those who lived in ages, once some innumerable emperors wanted to examine itself the appraisal in history book, but actually kept them out completely, but until now, even no one knows that actually Imperial College experienced many dynasty. 左侧是春秋殿,传闻里面记载了历朝历代的史书资料,曾经有无数皇帝想要进去查看自己在史书里的评价,但却是全部被拒之门外,而迄今为止,甚至没人知道国子监究竟经历了多少个朝代。 The right side is Overwhelming Palace, here is under the entire day place of the biggest book collection, poems and songs, administering policy, book on military strategy plan, even some boudoir treasured copies have, but the scholar who each comes the Imperial College further education, can come and go out this palace freely, selects books that oneself want. 右侧是浩然殿,这里是全天下最大的藏书之地,诗词歌赋,治国方略,兵书将策,甚至连一些闺房秘本都有,而每一位来国子监进修的学子,都可以自由出入这座宫殿,选取自己想要的书籍。 The center is Taijidian, the imperial civil service examination final palace examination, besides is tested by current dynasty emperor in the imperial palace each time, but must accept the examination of Imperial College in this Taijidian, to countless writers, if some day can enter in this Taijidian, was not in vain the life. 中央是太极殿,每次科举最后的殿试,除了在皇宫内由当朝皇帝测试外,还必须在这座太极殿内接受国子监的测验,对无数文人而言,有朝一日若是能走进这座太极殿中,便算是不枉此生了。 The remaining eight buildings stand erect respectively in study the eight directions of palace, is not the palace that can use daily, but is similar to the imperial ancestral temple same sacrificial offering place, every year will be responsible for Abbot by Imperial College Grand Chancellor, according to the order is held grand ceremony in eight palaces in turn. 剩下八座建筑则是分别屹立在学宫的八个方向,并非是日常会使用的宫殿,而是类似于太庙一样的祭祀场所,每年都会由国子监的大祭酒负责主持,按顺序依次在八座殿宇内举行盛大的祭礼。 But when the ceremony conducting time, is the every year new and old change. 而祭礼的举办时间,便是每年新旧更替之时。 Lunar New Year's Eve. 除夕。 Therefore in today's early morning, was the Imperial College teacher gate then to hang an upright big sign in the Jixia Academy entrance: 因此早在今日的清晨,直属于国子监的导师门便将一个方方正正的大牌子挂在了稷下学宫的大门口: 【Lunar New Year's Eve teacher has a vacation, today does not attend class, asking scholars to do homework voluntarily】 【除夕导师放假,今天不上课,请学子们自觉完成作业】 ------ has to acknowledge, ------不得不承认, Sometimes Imperial College meets the rusticity. 国子监有时候还是非常接地气的。 But after closing Jixia Academy, Imperial College starts in the past sacrificial offering immediately, the teachers change the casual cloth in abundance, wears the ceremony special-purpose clothing, then forms groups, then waited before Taijidian, until present age Grand Chancellor, Tao Xinzheng went out from the palace gradually. 而在关闭了稷下学宫后,国子监内部立刻开始了往常的祭祀活动,导师们纷纷换下常服,穿上祭礼专用的服装,而后成群结队,便等候在了太极殿前,直到当代大祭酒,陶新正从殿中缓步走出。 Many Confucian scholar then simultaneously bow saying: 紧接着,众多儒士便齐齐躬身道: „Has seen the teacher.” “见过老师。” „Un.” “嗯。” Tao Xinzheng nods, maintains him of technique now seems like about 30-40 years old, but to these Confucian scholars under stage, is ignorant the youngster in them, just entered Imperial College studies, this Grand Chancellor is now this appearance, as if not old general. 陶新正点了点头,保养有术的他现在看上去也不过30-40岁,但对台下的这些儒士而言,早在他们还是懵懂少年,刚刚进入国子监修学的时候,这位大祭酒便已经是现在这幅模样了,仿佛不会老一般。 „On is too firm, as before.” “上太牢吧,和往年一样。” „Yes, Teacher!” “是,老师！” Confucian scholars simultaneously accordingly, acts at once immediately, without after a while, them was divided into eight teams, slaughtered the cow respectively, the sheep, the pig three domestic animals, then packs with the bronze Yi back their blood, in walked into eight side palaces respectively, watered in the ground. 儒士们齐齐应声,旋即立刻行动了起来,没过一会儿,他们便分为了八个队伍,各自宰杀了牛,羊,豕三牲,然后以青铜彝樽装满将它们的血液,在各自走入了八方殿宇中,浇灌在了地面上。 After completing all these, all Confucian scholars then sat at the scene, disperse in eight palaces. Only some Tao Xinzheng kept the entrance of Taijidian as before. 做完这一切后,所有儒士便当场席地而坐,分散在了八座殿宇中。唯有陶新正依旧留在了太极殿的门口。 According to the old times flow, should be he read out the oration the time at this time. 按照往年的流程,这时应是他宣读祭文的时候。 However today he has not opened the mouth immediately. 然而今日他并没有立刻开口。 Until after half quarter, 直到半刻钟过后, Tao Xinzheng raised the head suddenly, looks at to the top of the head clear clear sky, opened the mouth saying: „Honored guests, since had arrived, why that does shrink?” 陶新正才突然抬头,望向了头顶的澄澈晴空,开口道:“贵客们既然已经到了,那又何必畏畏缩缩？” „Bang!” “轰！” Tao Xinzheng finishes speaking, the entire Jixia Academy sky resounded a thunderclap sound immediately, four light beams fell from the cloud layer. 陶新正话音刚落,整个稷下学宫的上空登时响起了一道炸雷声,紧接着就有四道光束先后从云层中落下。 Heavenly Sage Emperor. 天圣帝。 King Taiyu. 太裕王。 Wise Result. 慧果。 Golden Cicada. 金蝉。 Four Human Immortal divine wills release in this moment outspokenly, as if the flood bursts a dike general, swept across entire Jixia Academy instantaneously. 四位人仙的神意在这一刻毫无保留地释放而出,仿佛洪水决堤一般,瞬间就席卷了整座稷下学宫。 However what accidental/surprised is, the bonus, is so being in the appearance that the Confucian scholars in eight sacrificial offering palaces still did not have to think at this time respectively, has not cared about four Human Immortal dreadful power and influence completely, or closes eyes, hangs around the ears, for the purpose of waiting for Tao Xinzheng readout oration. 然而让人意外的是,饶是如此,此时正分别处于八座祭祀殿宇内的儒士们却仍旧一副毫无所觉的模样,完全没有在意四位人仙的滔天威势,或是闭目,又或是垂耳,旨在等待陶新正宣读祭文。 But another side, Tao Xinzheng has also swept from Heavenly Sage Emperor four people of body the vision. 而另一边,陶新正也是将目光从天圣帝四人身上扫过。 Afterward sees this world-famous Imperial College Grand Chancellor, is bowing to Heavenly Sage Emperor slightly: 随后就见这位享誉天下的国子监大祭酒,对着天圣帝微微躬身: „Has seen Your Majesty.” “见过陛下。” „Dispense with ceremony ....” “免礼....” The Heavenly Sage Emperor words just exported, on face look immediately gloomy. Because his dispense with ceremony two characters told only half, Tao Xinzheng on own relaxing board. 天圣帝话刚出口,脸上神色立刻就阴沉了下来。因为他免礼俩字才说到一半,陶新正就自己直起了腰板。 Does not have the generation of father without Monarch! 无君无父之辈！ Heavenly Sage Emperor while in the heart criticizes, in the surface actually showed a deprecating smile. 天圣帝在心中暗骂的同时,表面上却是露出了一副不以为意的笑容。 After all the present is needs help from the person, let alone the strength of opposite party is also immeasurably deep, therefore Heavenly Sage Emperor has not launched an attack, but stimulates to movement the divine will in secret: 毕竟如今是自己有求于人,何况对方的实力也深不可测,因此天圣帝并没有发难,而是暗中催动神意: „Grand Chancellor, you gave my prediction before, whether to say in detail?” “大祭酒,您之前给我的那封批命,能否详细说说？” „Your Majesty is not anxious.” “陛下莫急。” Tao Xinzheng has not returned by the divine will, but opens the mouth to say directly: „Two honored guests not , after they came, the feudal official will dispel doubt for Your Majesty.” 陶新正没有以神意相回,而是直接开口道:“还有两位贵客未至,等他们来了之后,臣自会为陛下解惑。” Two honored guests? 还有两位贵客？ People hears word is in the heart sinks immediately, particularly Heavenly Sage Emperor, although had guessed in advance, but really happened made him somewhat rude. 众人闻言立刻就是心中一沉,尤其是天圣帝,虽然事前早就有所猜测,但真发生了还是让他有些失态。 „Ka scratches!” “咔擦！” In a while, the glass shatter sound resounds suddenly, later saw two forms in tandem, bravely from void. 没过多久,玻璃破碎的声音陡然响起,随后就见两道身影一前一后,昂首阔步地从虚空中走了出来。 „Lu Xingzhou ....!” “陆行舟....！” Sees the instance of opposite party, the Heavenly Sage Emperor look is a distortion, but the under foot actually will be slightly may not observe will move in the future little, will seem extremely contradictory. 见到对方的瞬间,天圣帝的神色就是一阵扭曲,但脚下却是微不可察地往后挪了少许,显得极为矛盾。 But Lu Xingzhou shot a look at Heavenly Sage Emperor, at once then takes back the line of sight, this silent despising and silent is to make Heavenly Sage Emperor hate several to go crazy. 而陆行舟则是瞥了眼天圣帝,旋即便收回了视线,这种无声的蔑视和默然更是让天圣帝恨得几欲发狂。 As for Wise Result, then looked directly to Lu Xingzhou back Xiao Yuyu. 至于慧果,则是直接看向了陆行舟背后的萧禹余。 „This person is not and Golden Cicada hostile? How to follow Lu Xingzhou to come together?” “这人不是和金蝉敌对的么？怎么会跟着陆行舟一起过来？” „Is it possible that is aware weak?” “莫非是自觉势单力孤？” „Sticking together?” “抱团了？” The Wise Result brow slightly wrinkle, in the heart thought immediately, at the same time, actually sees King Taiyu to open the mouth to say suddenly: „Now should the person arrive in full?” 慧果眉头微皱,心中登时思索了起来,与此同时,却又见太裕王突然开口道:“现在人应该到齐了吧？” However what accidental/surprised is, Tao Xinzheng shakes the head again: 然而让人意外的是,陶新正再度摇了摇头: „Also no.” “还没有。” No? World six Human Immortal not here? 没有？天下六位人仙不都在这里了么？ Who did also hide? 难道还有谁藏起来了？ Is impossible! 不可能吧！ People hears word had the color of accident/surprise immediately, only has the Lu Xingzhou look to be invariable, at this moment, outside Jixia Academy actually transmitted a explosion sound again: 众人闻言顿时生出了意外之色,唯有陆行舟神色不变,就在这时,稷下学宫外却再度传来了一声轰响: „Bang!” “砰！” In the rumble, quick has one after several other forms, entered in Jixia Academy under several Confucian scholars' leadership, appeared in the field of vision of people. 隆隆声中,很快就有接连几道身影,在几位儒士的带领下走进了稷下学宫中,出现在了众人的视野里。 And four people take the lead to go out, is bowing to the Lu Xingzhou direction: 其中四人率先走出,对着陆行舟的方向就是一躬身: „Disciple has seen Ancestral Master!” “弟子见过师祖！” „.... Imperial Preceptor is courteous.” “....国师有礼。” Pei Xuzhen, An Yueyao, Yue Wancheng, should keep Floating Clouds Mountain three destiny protagonist, at this time unexpectedly without exception, all appeared here! Even previously turned to Defying Heavens Monastery, moved to Floating Clouds Mountain East Sea Sword Sect Sect Master dutifully, Chen Yisheng also came! 裴寻真,安月瑶,岳晚成,本应留在浮云山的三位气运主角,此时居然无一例外,全部出现在了这里！甚至就连此前投靠了逆天观,拖家带口地搬到了浮云山的东海剑宗宗主,陈易生也来了！ But besides them, several other people also salutes to say in abundance: 而除了他们之外,其余几人也是纷纷行礼道: „Feudal official and others had seen Your Majesty.” “臣等见过陛下。” The Heavenly Sage Emperor pupil shrinks suddenly: „Jinghan .... Sha Boluo .... You... Yue Family? Yue Ye!?” 天圣帝瞳孔骤缩:“京翰....沙钵罗....还有你...岳家子？岳烨！？” „Has seen abbot Senior Brother.” “见过方丈师兄。” On Golden Cicada face smile slightly stiff: „Wonderful Enlightenment .... Incense Acolyte ....!?” 金蝉脸上笑容微僵:“妙觉....庙祝....！？” Obviously, besides Lu Xingzhou, Heavenly Sage Emperor or Golden Cicada, have not expected own subordinate to appear in Jixia Academy unexpectedly. 显然,除了陆行舟之外,无论是天圣帝还是金蝉,都没有料到自家的属下居然会出现在稷下学宫。 What's all this about! 这是怎么回事！ Are they also the honored guests? 他们也是贵客？ It seems like detected that Heavenly Sage Emperor and the others surprised, Tao Xinzheng opened the mouth to say suddenly: „Is patient, then, the honored guest was simultaneous/uniform. Six Human Immortal, peak Martial Saint, present age Heaven's Chosen, the world destiny, performs now most likely here , was merit perfection.” 似乎是察觉到了天圣帝等人的惊疑,陶新正突然开口道:“诸位稍安勿躁,如此一来,贵客便算是齐了。六位人仙,巅峰武圣,当世天骄,如今天下气运,八成尽在此处,也算是功德圆满了。” People hears Yanjie is knits the brows the ponder, only the person opens the mouth to say carelessly: 众人闻言皆是皱眉沉思,唯有一个人大大咧咧地开口道: „Old man your what meaning? We should come to see you to choose next Grand Chancellor?” “老头子你啥意思？我们应该来看你选下一任大祭酒的吧？” „..... Is you.” “.....是你啊。” Tao Xinzheng goes on the prestige, came at once on the indifferent face reveals a smile unexpectedly: „Xiao Yuyu, perhaps you are next Grand Chancellor.” 陶新正应声望去,速来漠然的脸上竟是流露出了一丝微笑:“萧禹余,说不定你就是下一任大祭酒。” Tao Xinzheng such remarks, the people look changes immediately. 陶新正此言一出,众人神色顿时变化。 What do you mean? 什么意思？ Next does Grand Chancellor...... elect from us? 下一任大祭酒......从我们之中选？ Suddenly, everyone is somewhat surprised uncertain, but Tao Xinzheng is just likes has not actually thought, a vision revolution, actually looked to the Lu Xingzhou direction: 一时间,所有人都是有些惊疑不定,但陶新正却是恍若未觉,目光一转,却是又看向了陆行舟的方向: „What I am actually most pleasing is you.” “不过其实我最中意的是你。” „? Pleasing I?” Lu Xingzhou blinks, looks in Tao Xinzheng that the appearance of old handsome fellow, in the heart had a chill immediately. “啊？中意我？”陆行舟眨了眨眼,看着陶新正那一副中年老帅哥的模样,心中顿时生出了一股恶寒。 „Senior Tao, I do not keep guessing.” “陶前辈,我也就不卖关子了。” Sees only King Taiyu to take the lead one step to go out, actually first bows to Tao Xinzheng respectfully, then said: „Did your former divine will say real?” 只见太裕王率先一步走出,却先是恭敬地对陶新正鞠了一躬,而后才说道:“您之前神意所言是真的么？” „Naturally is.” Tao Xinzheng nods. “自然为真。”陶新正颔首。 „Really ....!!!” King Taiyu hears word revealed the color of crazy Joy immediately, but is opposite with it, another side Wise Result look was suddenly was cloudier. “果然....！！！”太裕王闻言顿时露出了狂喜之色,而与之相反,另一边的慧果神色则是陡然阴沉了许多。 Another side Lu Xingzhou is also the heart has bright becoming aware. 另一边陆行舟也是心有明悟。 Oneself are because the Usurping Heavens and Seizing Fate Technique final volume attended the ceremony, but one of us knows from the family affairs, Pei Xuzhen is because breaks through the peak Martial Saint chance, An Yueyao is efficacious medicine that because changes the evil root bone aptitude, Yue Wancheng for Ao Ze, Chen Yisheng to break through the boundary of Human Immortal. 自己是因为篡天夺运术的下册才来观礼的,而自家人知道自家事,裴寻真是因为突破巅峰武圣的机缘,安月瑶是因为改善根骨资质的灵药,岳晚成是为了敖泽,陈易生则是为了突破人仙之境。 Obviously, Tao Xinzheng while inviting their, gives the reason that they are unable to reject. 很显然,陶新正在邀请他们的同时,也给了他们一个无法拒绝的理由。 Then others? 那么其他人呢？ Is the reason that Heavenly Sage Emperor, Li Jinghan, Sha Boluo, Yue Ye, Wonderful Enlightenment, Shadow Temple Incense Acolyte, they attend the ceremony what? King Taiyu and Wise Result, as Ashen Mystery Boundary come the person, holds true by can keep them from rejecting? It is also very strange to the polite name of Tao Xinzheng. 天圣帝,李京翰,沙钵罗,岳烨,妙觉,影庙庙祝,他们来观礼的理由又是什么？还有太裕王和慧果,身为蓬玄界来人,又有什么理由能让他们都无法拒绝？还有其对陶新正的尊称也很奇怪。 But at the same time, Tao Xinzheng is continues saying: 而与此同时,陶新正则是继续说道: „Honored guest, before me said that after this Imperial College will select me next Grand Chancellor, is in you one. I will feed in Imperial College generations of inheritance in the mystical place, who can obtain the approval of deceased teacher, who is, no matter what Grand Chancellor.” “诸位贵客,诚如我之前所说,此次国子监将会选出我之后的下一任大祭酒,也就是你们中的一位。我将会把诸位送进国子监代代传承的秘境之中,谁能得到先师的认可,谁就是下任大祭酒。” „Also in the mystical place also has I and you have said the thing.” “同时秘境里也有我和你们说过的东西。” „Wanted words take.” “想要的话就去拿吧。” „Method does not limit.” “手段不限。” „Only looks at the result.” “只看结果。” Obviously is the profound scholar, when the Tao Xinzheng tone changes, in the air has gold/metal sound to get up faintly: „I will await calmly the result here.” 明明是大儒,但是当陶新正语气变化的时候,空气中却是隐隐有金戈声响起:“我会在这里静候结果。” Finishes speaking, listens to one thunderously crack! 话音刚落,就听一声雷鸣炸响！ „Bang!” “轰！” In entire Jixia Academy, eight direction eight palaces are also turbulent , sees many Confucian scholars top of the heads in palace to have Overwhelming Righteous Qi to reappear, the silk threads, gather to sublimate, finally soars to the heavens, shone directly in the midair, finally each other continually a piece. 整个稷下学宫之中,八个方向八座殿宇同时动荡,紧接着,就见殿宇中的诸多儒士们头顶有浩然正气浮现,丝丝缕缕,聚而凝华,最后冲霄而起,直接映照在了半空中,最后彼此连成了一片。 „129,600 years.” “十二万九千六百年。” „The ninth time.” “第九次了。” „It is not successful, then dies for a righteous cause.” “不成功,便成仁。” Without giving Lu Xingzhou and the others any opportunity of response, even responded even if also came being less, Overwhelming Righteous Qi to sweep, submerged everyone directly, but several blinked, before seeing that Taijidian , was only left over a Tao Xinzheng person. 没有给陆行舟等人任何反应的机会,甚至哪怕反应过来了也来之不及,浩然正气一扫而过,直接就将所有人都淹没在了其中,只是几个眨眼下去,就见那太极殿前,又只剩下了陶新正一个人。
