Various Hidden Sect, governs the region to vary. Big such as Jiangli Sect, Qingliang Mountain and other sect, stretch across far more than ten Yu Wanli regions ; But small like In The Clouds Faction, places the layout crampedly really obviously. 各家隐宗,所辖地域有大有小。大者如江离宗、清凉山等宗门,横跨何止十余万里地域;而小者如云中派,安置布局甚显局促。 Naturally, initially when the various sects older generation occupied the Dingshan gate has the consideration, always regarded as important some place is superiorly long, occupies for the foundation, not good constantly discussed the weak points and strong points at the gateway size. 当然,当初各宗先辈占定山门时自有考量,总是看重了某一地的优长,才占为根基,倒不好一味的以门户大小论短长。 Half Beginning Sect is situated on Divine Vapor Island, this island long more than 2000 li (0.5 km), are various Zongnei area small one. Under cloud Zhengxia Wei, Half Beginning Sect all Daoist temples construct, entirely Rubi sets up the full mountain to be the same, overspreads the entire island big or small mountain range, serviceable paradise treasure mountain maximum use. 半始宗坐落于神熏岛上,此岛长不过二千余里,正是诸宗内占地面积较小的一家。云蒸霞蔚之下,半始宗所有宫观建筑,俱如碧树盈山一般,铺满整座岛屿的大小山峦,将堪用的胜地宝山最大限度的利用。 When foot with, certain strategic places that cannot withstand the operation, appears the blank three points exactly, the relaxation has. 足用之余,某些不堪营运的险地,又恰好显得留白三分,张弛有度。 Moreover, this island south, hillside by the sea, under the steep peak, there is together certainly a big open area. However this broad treasure trove had not actually been made the full palace royal palace, instead came out by the vacancy specially, building a side broadly and level boundless, intent is really sparse dao field slightly. 另外,此岛之南,依山靠海,陡峰之下,有一块绝大的空地。但是这块宽阔宝地却并未被造满殿宇宫室,反而特意被空缺出来,营造成一方坦荡无垠、意甚疏略的道场。 Above dao field, directs the Sandouyama spring to change to the brook from the mountain on, water quality sweet smooth beautiful, puts out a hand one handful, is then drinkable. 道场之上,又自山上引下三道山泉化作溪流,水质甘甜畅美,伸手一捧,便可饮用。 Now here lively banquet scene, dozens people sit well along the brook two banks. Many silver basin jade cup, the cup cup bamboo basket, is putting the magnanimous good food, all in the brook, winds flowing. 现在这里觥筹交错,数十人沿溪流两畔坐定。许多银盆玉盏,杯盅竹篮,盛放着海量美食,俱在溪流之中,回环流动。 The brook two banks, the zhang (3.33 m), then suppose below step round file every other, the green bamboo parapet. When natural, has artificial, it may be said that displays of creativity. 溪流两畔,每隔丈许,便设下方阶圆座,翠竹栏杆。天然之余,亦有人为,可谓匠心独运。 At this time, here naturally was Half Beginning Sect the place of entertaining a guest. 此时,这里自然就是半始宗的待客之地了。 Above the seat of honor, Half Beginning Sect Sect Leader High Perfected Gao Liu urges to drink repeatedly. 主位之上,半始宗掌门高柳上真频频劝酒。 Such as „person with outstanding ability who for hundreds of thousands of years the non- world has” and „the pillar of Hidden Sect resurgence” and „key man in humanity cultivation river of history”, all sorts of praises, Gui Wujiu does not know that has listened many from side population. 诸如“数十万年来不世出的英才”、“隐宗中兴之柱石”、“人道修行历史长河中的关键人物”,种种赞誉,归无咎已经不知道自旁人口中听过多少遍。 At this time listens to High Perfected Gao Liu to be redundant, he also can only as before empty and winding. Not only in the surface has not borne, instead reproves oneself and apologize when repeatedly, is respected praises Xun Shen and Lu Chengwen talent. 此时听高柳上真再重复一遍,他也依旧只能虚与委蛇。面上不但没有丝毫不耐,反而频频逊谢之余,又推重称扬荀申、陆乘文的才器。 High Perfected Gao Liu then detected that as if stresses Gui Wujiu, but treated coldly Xun Shen and Lu Chengwen two people. Also considers the expression, the attempt recovers. Gui Wujiu then relaxes, these exchange toasts the favor deal, cannot make him undertake, when happen to also made Xun Shen and Lu Chengwen receive. 高柳上真这才发觉似乎过于偏重归无咎,而冷落了荀申、陆乘文二人。又斟酌言辞,尝试补救。归无咎这才松了一口气,这些推杯换盏间的人情勾当,不能让他一人承担,正好也当让荀申、陆乘文接过一些。 Actually while the this place crack, Gui Wujiu is also observing High Perfected Gao Liu secretly. 其实乘此间隙,归无咎也在暗暗观察高柳上真。 From the appearance, although High Perfected Gao Liu faces is slightly caustic. However the this person's makings, are it seems like broad-minded, entertaining a guest is also passionate and considerate. If formerly had not heard any news of this person, in the present beginning sees, Gui Wujiu is inevitably good to its impression. 从外貌上看,高柳上真虽然面向略显尖刻。但是这一位的气质,看来却是光风霁月,待客也是热情周到。若是从前没有听闻过此人的任何消息,今朝初见,归无咎必然对其观感不错。 However, if the present person, will push Tang to keep one's distance from that everything that Xun Shen combs, will not want the meddlesome Half Beginning Sect Sect Leader image to unify, in which contradiction was obvious. 但是,若是将眼前之人,和荀申梳理出来的那个事事推唐远避,不欲多事的半始宗掌门形象结合起来,其中的矛盾之处就昭然若揭了。 This point, Gui Wujiu thought that Xun Shen and Lu Chengwen, Yao Chun and other High Perfected, also thought. 这一点,归无咎想到了,荀申、陆乘文,姚纯等四位上真,同样也想到了。 Passed the moment, High Perfected Yao Chun asked suddenly: „Before your faction, Sect Leader High Perfected Gao Wu had not heard from recent years. Does not know that was still healthy otherwise? Calculated by age when High Perfected Gao Wu has not arrived at the longevity completely dead in a sitting posture. your faction never sends out to inform the article, wants to come High Perfected Gao Wu, although abdicates the throne, but the person is in good health.” 过了片刻,姚纯上真忽地问道:“贵派前掌门高梧上真近年来杳无音讯。不知尚康健否？以年齿推算,高梧上真远未到寿尽坐化之时。贵派又始终不曾发出诰文,想来高梧上真虽然逊位,但人还是健在的。” Heavenly Profound High Perfected, if not the foundation loses, age at least also in two ten thousand years above. After two ten thousand years, even if spiritual origin qi took the downhill gradually, if protects and sustains appropriately, lives a ten thousand years is not unusual again. 天玄上真,若非根基有失,寿数至少也在二万载以上。二万载之后,纵然精神元气渐渐走了下坡路,但是若护持得当,再活个万载也不稀奇。 Half Beginning Sect High Perfected Gao Wu, although passed on a message cultivation except for the accident, abdicated the throne has ten thousand years. But when he declined politely in the past the position of Sect Leader is really young, according to various books calculated, not yet the number of full long life. By today, two ten thousand years ages. 半始宗高梧上真,虽然传言修行除了岔子,逊位已有万年之久。但他当年辞让掌门之位时甚是年轻,据各家载籍推算,尚未满万寿之数。到了今日,也不过两万载年纪。 High Perfected Gao Liu hearing this, as if flashes through non- nature. 高柳上真闻言,似乎闪过一丝不自然。 However the twinkling time, he restores as usual, is hanging a sympathetical color: „The senior brother political ability, wins my ten times. It seems heaven's will to suppose the hindrance, before ten thousand years, was created. Nowadays senior brother is closing up the training, is difficult to see the guest. Also please several High Perfected excuse me.” 但是瞬息功夫,他就恢复如常,挂着一副惋惜之色道:“师兄才略,胜我十倍。只是好似天意设阻,万载之前遭了一创。现今师兄正在闭关修养,难见外客。还请几位上真见谅。” High Perfected Yao Chun, High Perfected Yue Xiang and other people, cross-eyed with no trace, in the heart judged several points assuredly. 姚纯上真、越湘上真等四人,不着痕迹的对视一眼,心中判断更加笃定了几分。 cultivation to Heavenly Profound High Perfected boundary, although cannot transcendence in life and death, eternal life free and unfettered. However after the say/way becomes, before dying in a sitting posture, so long as has one remaining breath, divine ability, all by independent. 修持到了天玄上真境界,虽然未能超脱于生死,永寿逍遥。但是道成之后,坐化之前,只要一息尚存,一身神通,全由自主。 Heavenly Profound High Perfected, even if were the decrepit to the extreme, or experienced personally the heavy losses, even after the quarter of an hour, was his period of dying in a sitting posture, but before this moment bell, he was the action is also calm, with average man unobstructive. 一位天玄上真,哪怕是衰朽到了极点,又或者身受重创,哪怕一刻钟之后就是他的坐化之期,但在这一刻钟之前,他也是举动从容,和常人无碍。 So-called „is difficult to see guest” and so on, is clearly groundless. 所谓“难见外客”云云,分明不实。 High Perfected Gao Liu the complexion sinks at this time depressed, others look like also think that is among his fellow apprentices is sincere, is moved by the scenery to recollect old feelings and emotions at this time. Actually, he is the opposite party the oversight of spoken language takes to heart. 高柳上真此时面色沉郁,旁人看来还以为是他师兄弟之间感情真挚,此时触景生情。其实,他是对方才言语之疏漏耿耿于怀。 However Heavenly Profound High Perfected, the age finally, is not the vibration entire Hidden Sect important matter. sect disciple , the will of the people vacillates surely. If the age is less, High Perfected Gao Liu has never thought that manifesto High Perfected Gao Wu passed away ahead of time. 但是一位天玄上真,寿数不终,乃是震动整个隐宗的大事。本门弟子,也必定人心动摇。若是年龄不到,高柳上真从未想过,宣言高梧上真提前谢世。 High Perfected Gu Yi said suddenly: „High Perfected Gao Wu has the sickness in the body, regardless of the time being. your faction does Fellow Daoists Shang Yin and Shang Xian, why evade does not receive guests?” 孤邑上真忽地言道:“高梧上真有恙在身,暂且不论。贵派尚音、尚弦二位道友,何故避不见客？” This meaning of word implication calling to account, above the banquet, the atmosphere was tight immediately, 此言暗含责问之意,酒席之上,气氛立即紧张了起来、 In High Perfected Gao Liu surface Yin clear uncertain, the hesitation moment, said finally: „Two junior brother natural dispositions are eccentric, is unhappy sees the guest. Disrespectful place, but also asked Fellow Daoist Gu Yi to excuse me.” 高柳上真面上阴晴不定,踌躇片刻,终于道:“二位师弟生性孤僻,不喜见外客。失礼之处,还请孤邑道友见谅。” In his heart wants to strive finally. Can not make that two people act, that naturally is good, at least saves two Origin Suppressing Spirit Modelling Bamboo Slip. 他心中还是想最后争取一番。能够不使那二人出面,那自然是好,至少省下两张镇元塑灵签。 High Perfected Yao Chun smiles suddenly, with sound said: „Fellow Daoist Gao Liu does not need to consider thoroughly.” 姚纯上真忽地一笑,和声道:“高柳道友不必多虑。” „My Hidden Sect although in those days was known as the friend pledge, but eventually was scattered each region, was inferior that Saint Cult Ancestral Court had Yin-Yang Cave Heaven to serve as evidence, maintains closely. In recent years was born on the person with outstanding ability, join the alliance and establish the realm, had Realm Fusing Array to come between the dispatch, this/should taking this opportunity, mutually close aid. Fellow Daoist Gao Liu, did you say this word in the principle otherwise?” “我隐宗往日虽然号称友盟,但是终究是星散各地,不如圣教祖庭有阴阳洞天为凭,维系紧密。近年恰逢英才出世,合盟立界,有了合界法阵居中调度,正该借此机会,互相紧密援手。高柳道友,你说此言在理否？” A High Perfected Gao Liu sincere admission condition, apologized hastily: „What fellow daoist lesson is. The head-family with various friend pledges, somewhat was negligent in the transportation.” 高柳上真一副诚心接纳之态,连忙赔罪道:“道友教训的是。本宗与各友盟,是有些疏于交通了。” High Perfected Yao Chun comforts hastily, the tone is really sincere: „Teaches two characters, how dares to work as. This time escorts Gui Wujiu one line to spar with Saint Cult Ancestral Court true inheritance, via the your sect boundary, receives the righteousness of friend pledge, this two matters must do.” 姚纯上真连忙宽慰,语气甚是诚挚:“教训二字,如何敢当。只是今回护送归无咎一行与圣教祖庭真传斗法,途经贵宗地界,秉承友盟之义,本是有两件事要做。” Said that put out a hand to refer to finger/refers of High Perfected Gu Yi, said with a smile: „The first matter falls on Fellow Daoist Gu Yi body.” 说完伸手指了一指孤邑上真,笑道:“第一件事就是落在孤邑道友身上。” High Perfected Gao Liu hearing this is startled. 高柳上真闻言一怔。 High Perfected Yao said: „Fellow Daoist Gu Yi stems from the Jasper Stone Sect Dao Venerable Yi hanger-on, in various sect Heavenly Profound Boundary peer, by the merit of medicine and stone acupuncture needle, at least can also arrange first three. Originally these aids Gui Wujiu one line, has not dispatched him to come. He hears your faction Fellow Daoist Gao Wu to have the sickness, this volunteers one line, replaced a fellow daoist quota.” 姚上真道:“孤邑道友出自琼石门乙道尊门下,在诸宗天玄境同辈之中,论药石之功,至少也能排进前三。本来这一回护佑归无咎一行,并不曾遣他前来。只是他听闻贵派高梧道友之有恙,这才自告奋勇一行,替换了一位道友的名额。” „Presses his good intention, sees other your faction three really absence not, in heart some unavoidable lumps. Rude place, but also asked High Perfected Gao Liu to contain.” “难为他一番好意,见到贵派其余三真缺席不至,心中难免有些疙瘩。失态之处,还请高柳上真包含。” Lu Chengwen blinks toward Gui Wujiu suddenly. 陆乘文忽地朝归无咎眨了眨眼。 Gui Wujiu knows his intention. High Perfected Yao Chun seemed like clear like the lotus, the makings person with outstanding ability was remarkable, the spoken language was graceful. Cannot think that hoists to lie to be unexpectedly at a moderate pace, has words at fingertips and writes with facility. In his heart actually also feels somewhat interesting, is only in the surface light, actually not like in of color Lu Chengwen general shape. 归无咎知他心意。姚纯上真看起来清如菡萏,气质英才卓越,言语雍容平和。想不到扯起谎来竟是不紧不慢,信手拈来。他心中其实也觉得有几分有趣,只是面上平平淡淡,却不像陆乘文一般形之于色。 High Perfected Gu Yi as if intended to coordinate general, light snort/hum one, drank one glass of clear wines alone. 孤邑上真似乎有意配合一般,轻哼了一声,独自饮了一杯清酒。 High Perfected Gao Liu is braces oneself to ask for mercy. 高柳上真又是硬着头皮告罪。 Arrived this time, was known as actually has High Perfected Gao Wu of sickness not to discuss for the time being, Shang Yin and Shang Xian, according to emotion and reason please come out to receive guests. However when High Perfected Gao Liu asked for mercy constantly, pretended ignorance as before. 实则到了此时,号称有恙的高梧上真暂且不谈,尚音、尚玄二人,于情于理请出来见客。但是高柳上真一味告罪之余,依旧装聋作哑。 The High Perfected Yao Chun beautiful eye slightly cannot observe winks, does not know that ferments the tone, is the impromptu composition story: „The second matter. your faction hates to leave one's native land, in the pledge various fellow daoists is not incomprehensible. your faction places under the Saint Cult soldier/weapon front after all, if has an accident, various sect people of same belief don't have the heart?” 姚纯上真美目微不可察地一眨,不知是酝酿语气,还是现编故事:“第二件事。贵派故土难离,盟中各位道友也不是不能理解。只是贵派毕竟身处圣教兵锋之下,若万一有所闪失,诸宗同道于心何忍？” „Dao Venerable thinks of the law of being satisfactory to both sides, poured also resulted in a plan.” “道尊思两全之法,倒也得了一策。” High Perfected Gao Liu hearing this, makes one to the manner that the sect safety cares about, asked the idea hastily. 高柳上真闻言,做出一副对宗门安危十分关心的神态,连忙问计。 High Perfected Yao Chun said: „Dao Venerable bestows array chart one, can protect and sustain the place of your sect strategic point temporarily. If no with is Dao Venerable boundary mighty figure acts, even if dozens Heavenly Profound High Perfected and realm space Great Emperor makes a move to besiege, can protect and sustain the quarter of an hour the time.” 姚纯上真言道:“道尊赐下阵图一部,可以将贵宗要害之地暂时护持。若无同为道尊境界的大能出手,纵然数十位天玄上真、界空大帝一齐出手围攻,也能够护持住一刻钟的功夫。” „Has at this moment the bell time, the this array sensibility inspiration, naturally then can summon Realm Fusing Array, array place of transmission protecting to Light Crossing Origin Opening Realm. So, to satisfy both sides.” “有这一刻钟时间,此阵感悟灵机,自然便能呼唤合界法阵,将阵法所护之地传送至渡明开元界中。如此,岂不是两全其美。” High Perfected Gao Liu is just about to express thanks, High Perfected Yao Chun puts out a hand to stop, said: „Arranges this array, must seven people with joint forces. The your faction High Perfected itself/Ben has four people, perhaps but in the pledge the knowledge your faction High Perfected Gao Wu strength falls short, then has not been number him- why this was also I and other lines four people of reasons.” 高柳上真正要致谢,姚纯上真伸手止住,道:“只是布置此阵,须得七人合力。贵派上真本有四人,但盟中知贵派高梧上真或许力有不逮,便未将他作数-这也是为何我等这一行来了四人的原因。” The High Perfected Gao Liu complexion fluctuated, has such a huge matter to press, pondered does to decline finally difficultly again. In the sleeve golden light exposed, changes to two rune/symbol Jianwang summit to go, obviously in bush telegraph. 高柳上真面色变幻,有了这么一个天大的事压着,自忖终难再作推辞。袖中一道金光抖落,化作两道符剑往山巅去了,显然是在传递讯息。 Soon, two escaping light fall. 不多时,两道遁光落下。 One of them is the middle age of short stature, puts on weight slightly ; Moreover compared with young one person, although the facial features are thin, the figure is finer, but two people exist side by side, is not higher than compared with that middle age too. 其中一人是个五短身材的中年,略微发福;另外较年轻的一人虽然面容瘦削,身材更匀称一些,但是两人并立,也并不比那中年高出太多。 High Perfected Shang Yin and Shang Xian, is really the natural disposition seems to be deserted, does not hope near person. Only asked for mercy several then to seek a seat to take a seat slightly. 尚音、尚玄二位上真,似乎果真是生性冷僻,不愿近人。只略微告罪几句便自寻了一处座位落座。 High Perfected Gao Liu looked at two people of one unintentionally, detected that seems like no flaw, under the heart is slightly peaceful. 高柳上真有意无意望了二人一眼,察觉似乎没有什么破绽,心下稍安。 Said like Xun Shen. If flawless, allowing nature to take its course is best. It tries evasion by any means possible, it can not not so flaw be. 诚如荀申所言。若要天衣无缝,顺其自然才是最佳。其千方百计尝试回避者,正是其不得不然的破绽所在。 Once Shang Yin and Shang Xian takes a seat, Gui Wujiu and others and four High Perfected, the vision focus, fall on two people of body immediately. 尚音、尚玄二人一旦落座,归无咎等三人及四位上真,立刻将目光焦点,落在二人身上。 Gui Wujiu and the others the magical skill was still shallow, but also cannot see anything. Gu Yi, Yue Xiang and Lu Jian three High Perfected, feel Shang Yin and Shang Xian indistinctly, as if internal qi was inferior that High Perfected Gao Liu is bright. But really must seek for any obvious loophole, as if cannot. 归无咎等人道行尚浅,还看不出什么。孤邑、越湘、路艰三位上真,隐约感到尚音、尚玄二人,似乎气机不如高柳上真敞亮豁达。但真要找寻什么明显漏洞,似乎也并未能够。 In only High Perfected Yao Chun radiance flashes, has known fairly well. 唯独姚纯上真目中光华一闪,已经心中有数。 Gui Wujiu and the others and Shang Yin and Shang Xian salute upon meeting have finished, High Perfected Yao Chun as if also raises glass to urge. 归无咎等人与尚音、尚玄二人见礼已毕,姚纯上真似乎也举杯来劝。 Just now all of this place, that two actually hide in the hidden place, looks clear. In the Shang Yin and Shang Xian heart, Gu Yi, Yue Xiang and the others praise oneself arrogantly, as if is not good to deal with ; But High Perfected Yao Chun, is obviously more genial. 方才此间发生的一切,那两位其实藏在暗处,看得一清二楚。在尚音、尚玄二人心中,孤邑、越湘等人孤高自许,似乎不大好相与;而姚纯上真,明显和善许多。 Sees High Perfected Yao Chun to propose a toast, two people do not dare to act bashful, raises glass to welcome hastily. 见姚纯上真敬酒,二人也不敢过于拿捏,连忙举杯相迎。 In the meantime, the mutation lives suddenly! 就在此时,异变突生！ High Perfected Yao Chun discards the wine glass unexpectedly, takes advantage of opportunity to spread out the palm, the upfront relative Shang Yin and Shang Xian face. The entire process fast does not have, teaching the person is unexpected. 姚纯上真蓦地丢掉酒杯,顺势摊开手掌,正面相对尚音、尚玄二人面孔。整个过程迅捷无伦,教人猝不及防。 In the palm, an eye opens, golden glow sparkle. According to having two groups of phantom, does not have to hide. 掌心之中,一目睁开,金芒闪耀。照出两团虚影,无所遁形。 ...... ……
