Near gate town/subdues, away a Shanhai Pass hundred li (0.5 km) place. 临闾镇,距山海关百里之地。 This town/subdues is not big, in the town/subdues a yamen does not have, if some people must bring a lawsuit, obtained Founing dozens li (0.5 km) away to notify a government office. 这个镇不大,镇上连个衙门都没有,若是有人要打官司,那得到几十里外的抚宁去报官。 But this town Dark Green Spirit Town like that is not small, at least here inn incessantly . Moreover the inhabitant and store on town/subdues have the contact business the guests are many. 但这个镇子却也不似苍灵镇那般小,至少这儿的客栈不止一个,而且镇上的住户、商铺还有往来的商客都不少。 Before several Month(s), perhaps no one can think, this not too big nor too small border pass small town, will become the center of entire martial arts world unexpectedly. 几个月前,恐怕没人能想到,这个不大不小的边关小镇,竟会成为整个武林的中心。 But now...... 而现在…… The head of wealthy and prominent family big faction, becomes famous for a long time outstandingly able person different gentleman, and even was the hidden world many years of extra mundane people of high skill...... has gathered here. 高门大派的头头脑脑,成名已久的奇人异士,乃至是隐世多年的世外高人……都已聚集到了这里。 Their goals are the same, only for thing- sword moving-plant telegraph-plant. 他们的目的是相同的,只为了一件东西-剑舞草记。 Jiang Hu, is a marvelous place. 江湖,是个奇妙的地方。 Here, anybody can pursue some not to belong to their thing, so long as they have that ability...... 在这里,任何人都可以去追求一些本不属于他们的东西,只要他们有那个能耐…… But so-called morality and justice and axiom, every so often are only the excuses that convenient people handle affairs. 而所谓道义、公理,很多时候只是一种方便人们行事的借口罢了。 Bases in Jiang Hu, most important strength. 在江湖中立足,最重要的实力。 Without morality and justice of strength support, is the nonsense. 没有实力支持的道义,就是狗屁。 The nonsense was inferior. 狗屁都不如。 The competent person, understands this truth, therefore, they only when need, will come out to put two that nonsense brightly. 有实力的人,都懂得这个道理,所以,他们只在自己需要的时候,才会把那狗屁亮出来放两声。 Duan Keyi, is this person. 段克亦,也是这种人。 Naturally, in this time event, he indeed occupied several points of truth. 当然了,在这次的事件中,他的确是占了几分道理的。 According to his logic, own apprentice exterminated an entire family, he asks the murderer/culprit to revenge, that is the logical matter. But „sword moving-plant telegraph-plant records” is the murderer robs from river three there, his Duan Keyi snatches again thing, is very reasonable. How as for snatching later to assign......, since Jiang a person has not remained, sword spectrum by his taking over that is the master, is passable. 按照他的逻辑,自己的徒弟遭人灭门,他找真凶报仇,那是顺理成章的事。而“剑舞草记”是凶手从江三那里抢走的,他段克亦把东西再抢回来,也很合理。至于抢回来之后如何分配嘛……既然江家已经一个人都不剩了,剑谱由他这个当师父的接手,也说得过去。 In brief, Duan Keyi insists this set of theory very much, even if it sounds a little forced, but always compares „whom to snatch to turn over to who” that thought wants to be reasonable. 总之,段克亦是很坚持这套理论的,即使它听起来有点儿牵强,但总比“谁抢到归谁”那种思维要讲道理。 What a pity, even Duan Keyi Understand Jiang Hu, is never a reasonable place. 可惜,连段克亦自己都明白-江湖,从来就不是一个讲道理的地方。 The person of having a thing in the world, can obtain the money, reputation/honorary, position and beautiful woman here...... 一无所有的人,能在这里得到金钱、名誉、地位、美人…… Had everything expected to find person, can lose all here. 应有尽有的人,也能在这里失去一切。 This reasonable? 这有道理吗？ Even if there is, the person who can perhaps understand this truth is in ten thousand does not have one. 就算有,恐怕能参透这道理的人也是万中无一。 Therefore, Duan Keyi that son truth, in others opinion is the nonsense. 因此,段克亦的那点儿道理,在别人看来就是狗屁。 Today even if were the river three brought back to life, no one will acknowledge that this sword spectrum was his, let alone was your Duan Keyi? 今天哪怕是江三起死回生了,也没人会承认这剑谱是他的,何况是你段克亦？ In the final analysis, this is always „who snatches to turn over to who” game. 说到底,这从来都是一场“谁抢到归谁”的游戏。 Among person who then, participates this game, which people having is most noticeable, or most competent? 那么,来参与这场游戏的人当中,有哪些人是最引人注目、或者说最有实力的呢？ At present it seems like, there are four people. 目前看来,有四个人。 The first person, is Duan Keyi. 第一人,正是段克亦。 River three with „the Heng Jiang sword” name praising martial arts world, but Duan Keyi this teaches him martial arts „master” is actually not well-known in the swordsmanship, from this...... already obviously the latter's abundance of martial arts. 江三以“横江剑”之名扬名武林,而段克亦这个教他武功的“师父”却并不以剑法闻名,从这点上……已可见后者的武学之博。 Actually, „river three instructing kind teachers” the status is unimportant, „a dark green leader” and „searches cloud knight” title, is important, because that is symbolizing the strength. 其实,“江三授业恩师”的身份也并不重要,“点苍掌门”和“探云侠客”的头衔,才是重要的,因为那象征着实力。 In this time, selecting the dark green faction is influence biggest prestigious family honest one, the population and quality of hanger-on disciple, are the business on and prestige, it can be said that outstanding ; Can reside in this faction „leader” the man, its martial arts and shrewdness...... are hard to estimate seriously. 在这个时代,点苍派是势力最大的名门正派之一,无论是门下弟子的人数、素质,还是在道儿上的生意、威望,都可说是出类拔萃;能居于此派“掌门”之位的男人,其武功和城府……当真是难以揣度。 In this „strength” in the foundation, unifies previous that „truth”, Duan Keyi from, when gains a footing in four people. 在这“实力”的基础上,结合先前的那番“道理”,段克亦自当在四人中占据一席之地。 Again come, said that second person...... 再来,说那第二人…… Cotton Daoist. 棉道人。 The taoist priests, take the vegetation as the number, such as „stone, plum, bamboo, spring and stream” wait/etc, to seem simple and elegant, takes off/escapes the dust. 道士,多以草木为号,如“石、梅、竹、泉、溪”等等,以显得清雅,脱尘。 But „cotton Daoist” this name...... is really a little strange. 但“棉道人”这称呼……确是有点儿怪。 From this given name, you, not only cannot listen to many to be simple and elegant, but can also listen to several points of weak feeling. 从这名号里,你非但听不出多少清雅,还能听出几分软弱的感觉。 However, martial arts of this cotton Daoist, clearly is opposite with his say/way number. 然,这棉道人的武功,却和他的道号截然相反。 No one knows where martial arts of cotton Daoist studies, no one knows that actually he in the family/home that which Daoist temple has ; People know is, one day, on Jiang Hu presented a Daoist who suddenly causes the sword, what he uses is a pitch-black profound iron heavy sword. 没有人知道棉道人的武功是哪里学来的,也没有人知道他究竟是在哪个道观出的家;人们知道的就是,有一天,江湖上忽然出现了一个使剑的道人,他用的是一把乌黑的玄铁重剑。 This sword wonderful obtuse incomparable, probably the blade has not even started. But...... innumerable expert, died under this obtuse sword. 此剑奇钝无比,好像连刃都没开。但……无数的高手,都死在了这把钝剑之下。 Walks since Jiang Hu, the cotton Daoist has not been defeated. 行走江湖至今,棉道人还未尝败绩。 thing that as if...... he wants, can obtain, the matter that he wants to handle, can accomplish. 似乎……他想要的东西,就能得到,他想办的事情,就能办到。 Then, is the third person. 接着,是第三人。 Leng Yuqiu. 冷欲秋。 This should be in four people most mystical. 这应该是四人中最神秘的一个。 He does not have the friend, although many people want to become his friend. 他没有朋友,尽管很多人都想成为他的朋友。 He does not have the foe, because will become the person of his foe to vanish from this world quickly. 他也没有仇敌,因为成为他仇敌的人很快就会从这世上消失。 His words are few, seeming said a character to him is a loss. 他的话很少,好似多说一个字对他来说都是一种损失。 His deeds is also few, because he is very low-key ; But this „low key” main manifestation is...... he rarely keeps the living witness hand/subordinate. 他的事迹也很少,因为他很低调;而这份“低调”最主要的体现就是……他手下很少留活口。 The truly fierce slayer, not that type lets you, as soon as listens to the person who the name can be panic at the news ; But is that obviously heavy blood debts, but when he stands when your front, you actually still about the person who he knows nothing. 真正厉害的杀人者,并不是那种让你一听名字就会闻风丧胆的人;而是那种明明血债累累,但当他站在你面前时,你却依然对他一无所知的人。 Leng Yuqiu, is this person. 冷欲秋,就是这种人。 Although he becomes famous eventually the Jiang Hu role, but with other person of different places is, the entire martial arts world, no one...... „living person”, has or experienced his martial arts. 虽然他终究还是成了名动江湖的角色,但和其他人不同的地方是,整个武林,没有人……或者说“活人”,见识过他的武功。 People can only look at his as if never to use the sword of sheath, imagined under this sword to have many ghosts, as well as these people were taken the life the process. 人们只能望着他那柄仿佛从未出过鞘的剑,自行去想象这剑下曾经有过多少亡魂,以及这些人被取走性命的过程。 „Imagination”, because of „probe”, may make you turn into one in these ghosts...... 只是“想象”而已,因为“试探”,可能会让你变成那些亡魂中的一员…… Then...... finally, in four people remaining that...... 那么……最后,来说四人里剩下的那位…… Wang Qiong. 王穷。 This person, is not in the martial arts world the person, but is a merchant. 这个人,并不是什么武林中人,而是一个商人。 Very regrettable, he has not had one like the merchant in many literary work like „money 1 million” the name. 很遗憾,他没有像很多文学作品中的商人一样拥有一个像“钱百万”那样的名字。 Naturally, Wang Qiong is not his real name. 当然,王穷也不是他的真名。 As one from the record already the person who the wandering about destitute street begged for food, he was called most names to be, managed him to call anything as for his parents who since childhood „young beggar” or „begged for food smelly”, possibly when must wait for him to meet with them to the dwelling place of the dead under can ask. 作为一个从记事起就已流落街头要饭的人,他从小被人叫得最多的名字应该是“小叫花子”或者“臭要饭的”,至于他的父母管他叫什么,可能得等他到九泉之下和他们相见时才能问出来了。 In brief, „Wang Qiong” these two characters, are he himself get up, he hopes that this name can remind the poor taste frequently. 简而言之,“王穷”这两个字,是他自己起的,他希望这个名字可以时刻提醒自己贫穷的滋味。 Because he knows...... poor the person, understands money truly the value. 因为他知道……只有穷过的人,才真正明白钱的价值。 An inborn rich person, after one half a lifetime times of poverty the person who gets rich, the understanding of money is different. Is just like a since birth perfect person, with one since birth on lame, to dozens years later the marvelously cured person...... regarding walking the view of this matter is absolutely different. 一个天生的富人,和一个过了半辈子穷日子之后才富起来的人,对钱的理解是不一样的。就好比一个生来健全的人,和一个生来就瘸、到几十年后又奇迹般被治好的人……对于走路这件事的看法绝对不同。 Wang Qiong...... naturally belongs to the latter. 王穷……自然属于后者。 He was once poorer than anyone, is poor snatches the dog food in others institute to eat and poor hides warms up in the pigsty ; But he now is richer than anyone, is rich wants to all spend money does not know how long must spend, is rich can buy any thing...... 他曾经比谁都穷,穷得抢别人院儿里的狗饭吃、穷得躲在猪圈里取暖;而他现在比谁都富,富得想把钱花完都不知道要花多久,富得能买到任何东西…… Before that three that mentioned what were different, Wang Qiong should be this „game” a safest competitor ; Because he has not violated the dangerous necessity...... he to wait by the body, when final final, with his hand in most powerful, is unique weapon- money, gains final victory. 和之前提到的那三位不同的是,王穷应该是这场“游戏”中最安全的一个竞争者;因为他没有以身犯险的必要……他可以等,等到最后的最后,用他手上最有力的、也是独一无二的武器-金钱,去获取最终的胜利。 In fact, in the person on this accumulation arriving gate town/subdues, there is majority, was equal to that is gives Wang Qiong to work oneself to death...... 事实上,这次聚集到临闾镇上的人中,有一多半儿,等于就是去给王穷卖命的…… These people's interests to the sword spectrum is not very big, their ideas are: Practices martial arts, to mix Jiang Hu for what? Isn't wants the name and advantage? After the sword spectrum sold to Wang Qiong, attains money that cannot all spend for a lifetime, wasn't equal to bypassing that complex dangerous the process to achieve the ultimate goal directly? 这些人对剑谱的兴趣并不是很大,他们的想法是:练武功、混江湖是为了什么？不就是想要名和利吗？把剑谱卖给王穷后,拿到一笔一辈子都花不完的钱,不就等于是绕过那复杂危险的过程直接达到终极目的了吗？ Therefore , does not belong to Jiang Hu Wang Qiong, instead was in the middle of four people chance biggest one...... has saying that this was a satire. 所以说,根本不属于江湖的王穷,反而是四人当中赢面最大的一个……不得不说,这是一种讽刺。 ............ ………… High noon, the colorful sunshine photo, the snow of ground does not have. 正午,艳阳高照,地上的积雪却还是没化。 „Guest comes porch” inside the main hall, seems extremely busy. “客来轩”的大堂里,显得热闹非凡。 Except that these want the tea, an eating guest, a troop passes in and out and comes and goes...... does not know that is busy at anything's fellow. 除了那些要茶水的,点吃食的客人,还有一大群进进出出、来来往往……不知在忙些什么的家伙。 This scene, puts in the ordinary day, only will then appear in the morning. 这番景象,搁在平日里,就只有在早晨才会出现。 Like this border pass small town, comes many are these trade routes ; Day dawn time, these sharply the guest of hurrying along is then getting up. All kinds of people struggle to want the tea to want the water, to rush oneself mule to put on the car(riage) ; During that time, attendants in shop wished one could to raise both feet, when the hand used, that was in a day the most chaotic time. 像这种边关小镇,来得最多的自是那些商旅;天蒙蒙亮的时候,那些急着赶路的客人便都起来了。各式各样的人争着要茶要水、抢着将自己的骡马套上车;那段时间,店里的伙计恨不得把两只脚都提起来当手用,那是一天中最乱的时候。 However, since „sword moving-plant telegraph-plant records” will spread in the news that the Eve in Linlv town/subdues presents, each inn on this town/subdues, is almost is busy from the morning to the evening in this state. 然而,自打“剑舞草记”将在除夕夜于临闾镇出现的消息传开,这镇上的每一间客店,几乎都是在这种状态下从早忙到晚。 manager/shopkeeper of inn are also happy and worried at the same time, what is happy is the thriving business, sorrow...... is feared that group of guests make something. 客店的掌柜们也是喜忧参半,喜的是日进斗金,忧的呢……自是怕那帮客人闹出些事来。 „-” “啊-” Look in this in December 29 afternoons, a pitiful yell, becomes the first drop that in this pot turbid water exploded to roll the oil. 这不,就在这腊月二十九的午后,一声惨叫,成了这锅浑水中爆开的第一滴滚油。 Resounds with the pitiful yell sound simultaneously, is a wooden window shatter, and person falls from the high place falls at the sound of place. 与惨叫声同时响起的,是一阵木窗破碎、以及人身从高处摔落在地的动静。 Quick, the guest comes on the porch entrance avenue, then had/left a corpse. 很快,客来轩门口的大街上,便多出了一具尸体。 The pedestrian on street gathers the circle rapidly, maintains certain distance to wait and see, is saying anything chaotically. 街上的行人迅速聚集成圈,保持一定距离观望着,七嘴八舌地说着什么。 In the guest in inside the main hall...... some run to look immediately ; Some sit in the home position and as stable as Mount Tai, probably outside anything has not happened ; Also some, first stood immediately, but after thinking deeply about moment, sits down. 大堂里的客人中……有些立刻就跑出去看了;有些则坐在原位、稳如泰山,好像外面什么也没发生;还有些,先是在第一时间就站了起来,但在思索了片刻后,又重新坐下。 „Falls, should be the horse full beard.” Soon, by a square table, says facing the square features man who the front door sits. “落下来的,应该是马大胡子。”不多时,一张方桌旁,一个面对大门坐着的方脸汉子如是说道。 „Un.” Sits an old man in his side position meets saying that „window that breaks, is horse full beard that room.” “嗯。”坐在他旁边位置上的一名老者接道,“破掉的窗户,就是马大胡子那间房的。” The square features man said: „martial arts of horse full beard is not weak.” 方脸汉子道:“马大胡子的武功不弱。” „It is not weak.” The old men said: „Only diphyphyllum urgently presses palm depending on that ‚’, he may also be first-class expert.” “不弱。”老者道:“仅凭那手‘双形催命掌’,他也可位列一流高手了。” The square features man said: „But he dies now.” 方脸汉子道:“但他现在死了。” The old men nod: „It seems like died.” 老者点点头:“看来是死了。” The square features man said: „A person of appropriation palm, was striked to fly like backward, the broken mouse perishes, what explained?” 方脸汉子道:“一个擅用掌的人,像这样被人向后打飞,破窗坠亡,说明什么？” The old men smile: „Explained that in that guest room, there is one compared with the person of his appropriation palm.” 老者笑了笑:“说明那间客房里,有一个比他更擅用掌的人。” The square features man said: „That person are not many.” 方脸汉子道:“那种人不多。” The old men said: „Are not many.” 老者道:“不多。” The square features man said: „Selecting dark green leader Duan Keyi is one.” 方脸汉子道:“点苍掌门段克亦算一个。” The old men echo saying: „Un...... by the internal strength of section leader, only need broken by the strength, can win that horse full beard.” 老者附和道:“嗯……以段掌门的内功,只需以力破巧,便可胜那马大胡子。” The square features man also said: „Crazy tiger helps Sect Leader, ‚tiger surface Lohan’ Tu Ji...... is also one.” 方脸汉子又道:“狂虎帮帮主,‘虎面罗汉’屠纪……也算一个。” The old men said: „Lohan fight of arisaema heterophyllums, are really diphyphyllum urgently press the palm compared with that even better.” 老者道:“罗汉斗虎掌,确是比那双形催命掌更胜一筹。” The square features man said again: „Beggar Sect Luo Can Sect Leader, naturally is also one.” 方脸汉子再道:“丐帮的罗残帮主,自然也得算一个。” The old men said: „Luo Sect Leader has realized has been lost many years of falling dragon 18 palms...... that certainly to be his.” 老者道:“罗帮主既已练成了失传多年的降龙十八掌……那肯定要算他一个。” The words to here, the square features man shrug smile: „Uncle Liu, you thought what...... kills the horse full beard is which?” 话至此处,方脸汉子耸肩一笑:“刘伯,那您觉得……杀死马大胡子的是哪一个？” Uncle Liu returns said: „Young master is intelligent, in the heart has the answer, the obsolete opinion...... did not say.” 刘伯回道:“少爷聪颖,想必心中已有了答案,老朽愚见……不说也罢。” „Hehe......” square features man smiled, „Uncle Liu chatted, my ‚eye merit’ is also less than your half, perhaps when depended on the horse full beard crashed a moment ago that to glance...... me to look at the difference in a hurry.” “呵呵……”方脸汉子又笑了,“刘伯说笑了,我那‘眼功’还不及您老的一半,就凭刚才马大胡子坠落时那匆匆一瞥……没准我就看差了呢。” Uncle Liu „young master” was thought highly of one by this, has not actually revealed what happy expression: „Even if only the glance, the young master decides however still had seen that...... the slayer was intentionally ‚by’ the matter that palm system enemy hid the real identity?” 刘伯被这“少爷”恭维了一句,却也没露出什么喜色:“即使只是一瞥,少爷定然也已看出……杀人者是故意‘以掌制敌’来隐藏真实身份的事了吧？” The happy expression on young master face is more abundant: „That is person who uses the sword.” 少爷脸上的笑意更盛:“那是个用剑的人。” Uncle Liu said: „Yes.” 刘伯道:“是。” The young master said: „With the person of sword, can kill the horse full beard with the palm merit, are not many.” 少爷道:“用剑的人里,能用掌功杀死马大胡子的,也不多。” Uncle Liu said: „Meets this condition, happen to lives in this inn, only has one person......” 刘伯道:“符合这一条件,又正好住在这间客店里的,只有一人……” In these two's dialogue conducts here, that side the front door, there is a man and a woman two people, went round the crowd to enter in the shop. 就在这两人的对话进行到这里时,大门那边,有一男一女二人,绕开人群走进了店里。 That male seems like 20 over, straight eyebrows slanting upwards and outwards star, the look is handsome, carries a long sword ; Follows to be similar to its age in his miss, living was also ten graduated scales sends, to grow pretty facial features that annoyed the person to love tenderly. 那男的看上去二十出头,剑眉星目,相貌俊朗,身后背着一把长剑;跟在他身旁的姑娘与其年纪相仿,生得也是十分标致,长了一张惹人怜爱的娇俏面容。 Sits is sinister in the old Jiang Hu stature vision of inn inside the main hall, only looks at one, they infer...... these two are not the lover, are the brother and sister, or very intimate Senior Brother younger sister. 坐在客店大堂里的老江湖们个个儿眼光毒辣,只看一眼,他们就推断出……这两人不是情侣、就是兄妹、亦或是非常亲近的师兄妹。 Although this has not made any affectionate action to the men and women, when the distance of but from them maintaining, walks tacit understanding that the frequency, as well as reveals, enough had seen that their relations are quite close. 虽然这对男女并没有做出任何亲昵的举动,但从他们之间保持的距离、走路时的频率、以及举手投足间流露出的默契度,已足够看出他们的关系相当亲密。 „manager/shopkeeper, guest room?” Before that young fellow several steps arrives at the counter, facing manager/shopkeeper, the opens the mouth asked. “掌柜的,还有客房吗？”那男青年几步就走到柜台前,面对掌柜,张口就问。 The response of manager/shopkeeper is also very quick, his attention uppered shift from corpse instantaneously, almost returns stemming from the instinct said: „Oh...... this customer,...... the guest room in shop was a little recently tight......” 掌柜的反应也挺快,他的注意力瞬间就从门外的死尸上移了回来,几乎是出于本能地回道:“呃……这位客官,最近……小店的客房有点儿紧张……” „I understand.” The young fellow knows that manager/shopkeeper is what meaning, „we want a room on the line, the price...... you ’ to open according to ‚ present price.” “我明白。”男青年知道那掌柜是什么意思,“我们只要一间房就行,价钱嘛……您按‘现在的价儿’开。” „~ well.” The guests come the manager/shopkeeper of porch to be greedy for money very much, the courage is also big ; Therefore, even out of the door that human life did not have a view, he after hearing young fellow, immediately narrowed a small eye to smile. “诶~好好。”客来轩的这位掌柜很贪财,胆子也不小;所以,即便门外那条人命还没有个说法,他还是在听到了男青年的话后,立即就眯起一双小眼睛笑了起来。 He put out the book of accounting with a smile, takes up the writing brush to write, writes while asked: „This Young Hero , but also please leave a name.” 他就这么笑着拿出了记账的簿子,抄起毛笔就写,边写边问:“这位少侠,还请留个姓名。” The young fellow returns with very tranquil tone said: „Huangfu Mingkang.” 男青年用很平静的语气回道:“皇甫明康。”
