Decisive battle eve. 决战前夜。 Saint Cult Ancestral Court, Qinlao Mountain. 圣教祖庭,泰牢山。 Sir Li and Xi Zhenzi, two people gather round side Changxi, sits facing each other. Although two people are separated are less than one foot, but actually acts as one thinks fit, not exchange above slightest spoken language movement. 利大人与席榛子,二人围着一方长席,相对而坐。只是二人虽然间隔不到一尺,但是却自行其是,并无分毫言语动作之上的交流。 In Xi Zhenzi front case, is placing 2-3 assorted dry fruit. Sees only her to extend the shallot white hands, flakes kernel one by one, the snow white, the yellow, the depth varies, abundantly in a fine small porcelain tray, the pile becomes chops the hill. 席榛子面前案上,摆放着2-3片各色干果。只见她伸出青葱玉手,将果仁一一剥落下来,雪白色,嫩黄色,深浅不一,盛在一只精致的小瓷盘中,堆成一剁小山。 She peeled such many kernels, but actually to eat. Sees only her left arm crook of the elbow place, is curling up small beast of a shape with squirrel. Perfectly round that the pupil of that small beast pisolite size stares, raises head to look around freely. 她剥了如此之多的果仁,但却并不是供自家食用。只见她左臂臂弯处,蜷曲着一只形同松鼠的小兽。那小兽豆粒大小的瞳仁瞪的滚圆,不住地仰头张望。 However this small beast is clever, only asks for the food to Xi Zhenzi, does not collect toward that porcelain tray on own initiative. Passed a short time, only waits for Xi Zhenzi to pick up one to lose to its mouth on own initiative, this „kacha” „kacha” makes an effort to chew, eaten unusual is cheerful. 但是这小兽却乖巧得很,只向席榛子讨食,并不主动往那瓷盘上去凑。过了一时半刻,只等席榛子主动拾起一枚丢到它口中,这才“喀嚓”“喀嚓”的用力嘴嚼,吃的非常欢快。 But that head, Sir Li is the left hand holds cam wood together, the right hand carries out a knife, freely is cutting anything. As the wood truncates falls in abundance, trail showing gradually, unexpectedly is one foot high portrait. 而那一头,利大人却是左手持一块紫木,右手执行一柄小刀,不住地切削着什么。随着木削纷纷落下,渐渐的形迹彰显,竟是一个一尺多高的人像。 Beginning that portrait when the appearance is very fuzzy., With the Sir Li wrist/skill rotation, the line is gradually getting more and more clear, until the facial features may distinguish, the manner seems to be. 那人像初时面目很是模糊。渐渐地,随着利大人手腕转动,线条愈来愈清晰,直至眉眼可辨,神态宛然。 Roughly after the quarter of an hour, a vigorous hidden point, the point inner bottom strength infinite charm, gradually shows. Originally, carves does not leave the thing, is the Sir Li oneself statue. 约莫一刻钟之后,一股浑厚中暗藏锋芒,锋芒内底力无穷的神韵,逐渐彰显出来。原来,所刻的不是别物,正是利大人自己的塑像。 This statue just took shape obviously, however in which flavor newly-made thing, instead was actually not full was experiencing hardship to the full and breaking then sets up the later sincerity and solid. 这雕像明明刚刚成型,但是其中的韵味却不似新制之物,反而充盈着饱经风霜、破而后立之后的厚重与坚实。 Two person bank not far away, there are three people in the side. An artificial lord, two people attendants, did not say a word, calmly waited and saw Li and Xi appearance internal qi is changing. 二人身畔不远处,又有三人在侧。一人为主,两人随侍,一言不发,静静观望着利、席二人的神采气机之变。 Until sees in the Sir Li hand that statue formation, in three people came between that this nods again and again, color gentle. 直到见到利大人手中那一只雕像成型,三人中居中那位,这才连连点头,颜色和缓了下来。 Of Dao Venerable Spirit Tune this person Sir Li supervising examiners. The Dao Venerable Spirit Tune body bank two people, the bearing is uncommon, is Heavenly Profound Boundary cultivation base. 此人正是利大人座师之一的灵曲道尊。灵曲道尊身畔两人,器宇不凡,也是天玄境的修为。 At this time, in the Sir Li hand the sculpture, still had the right side half long gown completely not to end the merit. However he actually calls a halt suddenly, the wooden resembles, the knife, throws in the one side. 此时,利大人手中雕塑,尚有右侧半边袍服未尽完功。但是他却忽地停手,将木像,小刀,一齐丢在一旁。 Sir Li rises, said indifferently: „After moon/month previous war . Seven days confusion, seven days depression, seven days depressed, buoyed up on the 7 th. However, all these have fluttered along with the gale, does teacher have what not to feel relieved?” 利大人长身而起,淡然道:“月前一战之后。有七日困惑,七日消沉,七日郁结,七日振作。但是,这一切都已随大风飘去,老师难道还有什么不放心的？” Dao Venerable Spirit Tune slightly pondered over, asked: „Tomorrow's war, how do you treat it?” 灵曲道尊略一思忖,问道:“明日一战,你何以待之？” In the Sir Li pupil seems the fine glow to flash, said confidently: „Managing the number is variable, unobstructive defends. The shed actually strives for victory beside, has what read/thought?” 利大人眸中似有精芒一闪,坦然道:“理数无常,无碍守中。舍却求胜之外,更有何念？” This game of words saying, Dao Venerable Spirit Tune felt relieved finally thoroughly. The nod, said repeatedly: „Good.” 这一局话说出来,灵曲道尊终于彻底放心。频频点头,道:“甚好。” At this time is a guest of remote from Sir Li and Xi Zhenzi two people, locks in Golden Pill Boundary cultivation base and person fights, had passed moon/month. 此时距离利大人、席榛子二人做客异地,锁住金丹境的修为与人一战,已经过去了月余。 This moon/month time, the heart of Dao Venerable Spirit Tune cannot put down. 这月余时间,灵曲道尊的心始终未能放下。 Regarding Sir Li and Xi Zhenzi two people of aptitude dispositions, he has the full confidence. According to the common sense said that temporary defeat, as for not routing two people of will. 对于利大人、席榛子二人的资质心性,他是有着充分的信心的。按照常理说,一时之败绩,决不至于击溃二人心志。 The process that however that fights somewhat is really unexpected. The Dao Venerable Spirit Tune selfishness thinks, if the one had only known result, completely understood risk, perhaps even if Dao Venerables Xian Dao and Ying Yuan, is not necessarily able to decide to facilitate this war. 但是那一战的过程委实有些出人意料。灵曲道尊私心以为,若是早知如此结果,看透其中的风险,恐怕纵然是显道、应元二位道尊,未必会下决心促成这一战。 disciple of that honored guest, meets the victory to be well-known especially, really does not lose in his master Kou „an ancient and modern person” the evaluation. 那位贵客的弟子,见面尤胜闻名,果然不负其师口中“古今一人”之评语。 But Xi Zhenzi and Sir Li are also the talents that in the Saint Cult history reaches the pinnacle, repeates the old boundary by Origin Infant cultivation base let alone, dao technique has the original advantage skillfully. 但席榛子、利大人也是圣教历史上登峰造极的天才,更何况又是以元婴修为重蹈旧境,道法圆熟更有独到的优势。 Battles respectively a double-hour, Sir Li and Xi Zhenzi is also not as good, is defeated by the minimum disadvantage. 各自交战一个时辰,利大人、席榛子也只是稍逊一筹,以极小的劣势败下阵来。 During by this time, the aspect controlled still at Dao Venerable Spirit Tune. 到了此时,局面尚在灵曲道尊掌控之中。 So-called „make further progress, further”. This battle , the Li and Xi dao thought boundary, develops one step again outward. Expectation by Sir Li dao heart, impossible to halt because of „there is a heaven beyond heaven”. 所谓“百尺竿头,更进一步”。这一场交战,也只是将利、席二人的道念边界,再往外拓展一步。料想以利大人的道心,也不可能因为“天外有天”而止步不前。 But, in the following theory say/way, disciple of that guest first highly praised Li and Xi cultivation base, spoke of accidentally: fighting competition, was only its common condition strength. If she whole-heartedly, will reach to ancient and modern unique marvelous boundary, the strength of that time, not two people of institutes. 可是,在接下来的论道中,那位客人的弟子先盛赞了利、席二人的修为,却无意中说到:刚才的比斗,只是其寻常状态的战力。若是她全力以赴,会臻至一种古今独步的奇妙境界,那时之战力,又非二人所及了。 Although this person said a word is really courtliness, not slightly the meaning of showing off. But Sir Li and Xi Zhenzi, even Dao Venerable Spirit Tune, does not believe decidedly. 虽然此人言语甚是恳挚,并无丝毫炫耀之意。但利大人、席榛子,甚至灵曲道尊,也决然不信。 Therefore also had second fight. These fights time, making Dao Venerable Spirit Tune regret really ; If can come, he must urge this war surely. 于是又有了第二次交手。这一次交手,令灵曲道尊甚是后悔;若能重新来过,他必定要劝下此战。 At that time saw, Dao Venerable Spirit Tune still also finds it hard to believe. disciple of guest, resembles cultivation of several path will cultivate, can superimpose to accumulate unexpectedly, confuses a body, the strength at least promoted three times. Even if Sir Li and Xi Zhenzi meet the enemy with joint forces, for its will defeat shortly. 当时所见,灵曲道尊至今也觉得不可思议。那客人的弟子,似将所修的几种道途之功行,竟能叠加累积,混同一体,战力至少提升了三倍有余。纵然利大人、席榛子合力迎敌,也在顷刻间为其所击败。 Dao Venerable Spirit Tune concluded. Although her cultivation base in the boundary of Golden Pill, but in Saint Cult surely Origin Infant cultivator, beside abatement top ten true inheritance disciple, again no one is his opponent. 灵曲道尊一眼断定。她的修为虽在金丹之境,但圣教千万元婴修士之中,除却排名前十的真传弟子之外,再无人是其对手。 In this way boundary, when Dao Venerables Xian Dao and Ying Yuan in the past Golden Pill Boundary, is less greatly. 如斯境界,纵然显道、应元二位道尊当年金丹境时,也是大为不及的。 This, is not „further”, but is the knowledge will destroy thoroughly formerly thoroughly. Carelessly, must ruin the Saint Cult Ancestral Court two peerless talents. 这,已经不是“更进一步”,而是彻底将既往知识彻底打碎。一个不慎,就要毁掉圣教祖庭两位绝代天才。 These days, Dao Venerable Spirit Tune has been observing cautiously. 这段时间,灵曲道尊一直在小心翼翼地观察。 If Sir Li this grade of peerless dao seed, even if dao heart loses, such as the root bad person will not display like that obviously, such as gets by depressed, succumbed to that a demeanor kind of matter, is not possible ; But will experience one seems like that also calculates appropriate „state of mind remoulds”. 如利大人这等绝代道种,纵然道心有失,也不会如根器较差之人表现得那般明显,诸如消沉度日,沉湎声色一类的事,是决计不可能发生的;而是会经历一场看似还算得体的“心境重塑”。 Even, even he is also not necessarily able to perceive, oneself dao thought already slightly collapse. Instead thinks that oneself has awakened greatly, fled from the difficult position thoroughly. 甚至,连他本人也未必能够觉察,自家道念已经略微塌缩。反而会以为自己已经大彻大悟,彻底从困境之中走脱了出来。 If Sir Li says today „only has spells with every effort, the victory and defeat does not have to weigh on the mind” and so on, seemingly open-minded insightful, is actually the important matter is not good. Explained that person dao heart, experienced the collapse, helpless, finally chose to obey, accepted the reality. After today, Sir Li again non- former Sir Li. 若是今日利大人说出“唯有尽力相拼,胜负无所萦怀”之类的话,看似豁达通透,其实已经是大事不好。说明其人道心,经历了崩坏,无奈,最终选择服从,接受现实。自今日之后,利大人再非从前的利大人。 Is good because, Sir Li passed this pass/test finally. Reading of striving for victory, after frost more/complete Mao. „Managing the number is variable, unobstructive defends” these eight characters, making Dao Venerable Spirit Tune very satisfied. Knows the infinite variable, unobstructive I disposition loyal such as. 好在,利大人最终度过了这一关。求胜之念,经霜弥茂。“理数无常,无碍守中”这八个字,让灵曲道尊很满意。识界无穷变数,无碍我心性贞如。 Sir Li personality clear Jane/simple is careful, serious in speech and manner. 利大人性情清简谨严,不苟言笑。 However now, on his face unexpected revealing happy expression, sighed: „dao heart, although unobstructive, but the curiosity has not actually disappeared. After picture shadow graph that sees Gui Wujiu, the obviously energetic meteorology is somewhat unusual, as if saw the person of knowing well. But if I asked, she actually uses a pretext anything not to know, does not remember.” 但是现在,他脸上出人意料的露出笑意,叹息道:“道心虽然无碍,但是好奇心却并未消失。那一位见到归无咎的画影图形之后,明显精神气象有些异常,似乎见到了熟识之人。可是我若相问,她却推说什么也不知道,不记得。” „In this heaven and earth, it seems like has many even Saint Cult not to grasp, thing that even does not understand.” “这方天地中,看来有许多连圣教也并未掌握,甚至并不了解的东西。” „Really made one anticipate. What kind of magnificent scene can that be?” “真是令人期待呀。那会是怎样的盛景呢？” Dao Venerable Spirit Tune hearing this is silent. 灵曲道尊闻言默然。 Saint Cult this guest, cultivation reaching heaven and penetrating earth, is not under Founders Xian Dao and Ying Yuan. With its long-time contact, obviously can feel, beside humanity world, this guest is having knowledge of more secrets. 圣教这位客人,功行通天彻地,不在显道、应元二位祖师之下。在与其长久的交往中,明显可以感受到,在人道世界之外,这位客人掌握着更多的秘密。 However even if two founders inquires personally, cannot draw out half character from his mouth. 但是纵然是二位祖师亲口相询,也并未能够从他口中套出半个字来。 ...... …… Half Beginning Sect. At this time the Gui Wujiu three people, actually in a Divine Vapor Island center scenery different pond, go boating to fish. 半始宗。此时归无咎三人,却在神熏岛中心一处风景异的池塘中,泛舟垂钓。 Said fishes, actually holds only to have Lu Chengwen one person. Above silver hook, not least bit bait. Even that pond water color like black ink, cannot see of pisculture turtle. 说是垂钓,其实执杆者唯有陆乘文一人。银钩之上,并无半点鱼饵。甚至那池塘水色如墨,也看不出其中养着鱼鳖之属。 However this is not nominal, named fishes constantly, solid recuperation personality, to prepare the war of tomorrow. If that is right, then attentive carving, has the shortcoming of offering a far-fetched interpretation. 但是这也并不是一味地有名无实,名为垂钓,实调养性情,以备明日之战。若是如此,便是用心过刻,有穿凿之弊。 Gui Wujiu and Xun Shen two people, everyone by origin qi, concentrates obviously 20 fish, hides in the water, hovers erratically. Lu Chengwen holds a double-hour, has fished seven fish, three are Gui Wujiu does, four are Xun Shen changes magically. 归无咎、荀申二人,每人以元气显化,凝成二十条鱼儿,藏在水中,游动不定。陆乘文执杆一个时辰,已经钓上七条鱼儿,其中三条为归无咎所作,四条为荀申点化。 When the sun set, to returned. 时将日暮,到了回返之时。 Xun Shen said suddenly: „If tomorrow has Golden Pill cultivator to challenge, naturally is Fellow Daoist Lu first then ; But if Saint Cult Origin Infant true inheritance acts, then asked Fellow Daoist Gui to bring up the rear.” 荀申忽地言道:“明日若有金丹修士搦战,自然是陆道友先接着;但若是圣教元婴真传出手,便请归道友在后压阵。” Gui Wujiu smiles saying: „It seems like regarding meeting head-on the method, the divine ability choice, Fellow Daoist Xun has the confidence.” 归无咎笑言道:“看来对于迎战之法门,神通抉择,荀道友已有成竹在胸。” Xun Shen said confidently: „The merit of Hidden Sect enter the world, is the heaven falls in Brother Gui body, others expects not to fight. The Xun goal mentioned also simply. If can let Fellow Daoist Gui 12 years later acts, Xun in Yuan already foot.” 荀申坦然道:“隐宗入世之功,乃是上天降在归兄身上,旁人料也争抢不得。荀某的目标说来也简单。若是能够让归道友十二年后再出手,荀某于愿已足。” In the Gui Wujiu heart moves. Sir Li and Xi Zhenzi, ranking all above Xun Shen. Obviously the current situation moves, Xun Shen also thinks that oneself went forward a half step. 归无咎心中一动。利大人、席榛子,排名皆在荀申之上。可见时势一动,荀申也自认为自己前进了一小步。 All, will be clear tomorrow. 一切,明日见分晓。 :.: :。:
