The day of banquet. 宴席之日。 This place of feast conducting, is after „Constant Happiness Realm” that seemingly majestically already main hall extremely, then goes a step further. 此宴举办之地,正是在“常乐界”那看似雄壮已极的大殿后,再进一步。 Originally, if enlarges dozens several hundred times, look at from the high place the field of vision, here so-called „main hall”, rather said that is „main entrance”. Although palace complicated, inside and outside series, as gateway. The side halls of two wings , households, have connected, finally circles a huge circle, reveals its named palace, actually the essence of city wall. 原来,若将视野放大数十数百倍、自高处观览,此处的所谓“正殿”毋宁说是“正门”。虽然殿宇繁复,内外连环,到底只是作为门户之用。两翼的偏殿,一间间,一户户,一直连通下去,最终绕成一个巨大的圆圈,显露出其名为殿宇、实为城墙的本质来。 „City wall” within encircles, is a total of 1024 calls the far different plant extremely, about sansishi ten feets in height. Seemingly slenderly like bamboo, but peak is actually in full bloom respectively a purple great flower. “城墙”之内所围,乃是总共一千零二十四株极称殊异的植物,高约三四十丈。看似修长如竹,但是顶端处却各自盛开一朵紫色巨花。 From 1024 unfaithful/stamen places, has the invisible pure qi spout unceasingly on, finally concentrates as if real and unreal cloud. The cloud holds the place, built an in the air botanical garden carefully. 自一千零二十四朵花心处,不断地有无形清气喷涌而上,最终凝成一朵若虚若实的云彩。云彩所托之处,精心营造了一座空中园林。 And the view, countless changes, it can be said that vertical it imagines and has everything momentarily, may be called the a realm immortal magnificent scene. 其中景致,随时变幻无穷,可以说是纵其想象、无所不有,堪称一界仙家盛景之极。 If this is not the case , the acting Peacock clan welcomed the heavy responsibility of distinguished guest. 若非如此,也担当不起孔雀一族迎候贵宾的重任。 On nine leaved lotus flower of slowly rotation, Gui Wujiu and head of the clan Peacock clan Kong Wu sit facing each other, two people are the conversations of speaking softly. 一尊缓缓转动的九叶莲花上,归无咎与孔雀一族族长孔吾相对而坐,二人都是轻声细语的交谈。 At this time the banquet has not formally started, Kong Wu arrives ahead of time, exchanged greetings with Gui Wujiu, by entire formality, then must leave the stage ahead of time. 此时宴席尚未正式开始,孔吾之所以提前到来,与归无咎寒暄一阵,以全了礼节,便要提前退场。 This attending guest, is in the Gui Wujiu peer the person. If Kong Wu participates in the meeting, counter- not for beautiful. 本次与会宾客,都是归无咎的同辈中人。若是孔吾参与正会,反不为美。 Although how Gui Wujiu does not feel, however in these Peacock clan clan numerous eyes, this clan head of the clan power and influenced acquired over a long period is really deep, how regardless of unable to unshackle. 归无咎虽不觉得如何,但是在那些孔雀一族族众眼中,本族族长积威甚深,无论如何也放不开手脚。 Meanwhile, two matter Kong Wu also make a confession with Gui Wujiu. 同时,两件事孔吾也与归无咎作一交代。 First, the matter of send a letter Hidden Sect, had completed, asking Gui Wujiu to feel relieved although. 其一,去书隐宗之事,已然办妥,请归无咎尽管放心。 Second, hand over in the Gui Wujiu four handles opens a key. Peacock clan heaven, earth, black, yellow four big hide away, is divided conceals four. If Gui Wujiu has asked that although oneself takes, does not need to take the trouble to inquire others. 其二,交于归无咎四柄启阵锁钥。孔雀一族天、地、玄、黄四大秘藏,分藏四界。若是归无咎有所求,尽管自己去取,不必费心问询旁人。 Gui Wujiu thanked Kong Wu good intention, from enduring next four keys. Opens the mouth saying: „Gui has the incident to inquire, if there is a disrespectful place, fellow daoist should not be offended.” 归无咎谢过孔吾好意,从容受下四柄锁钥。开口言道:“归某有一事相询,若有失礼之处,道友勿要见怪。” The Kong Wu vision to concentrate, said seriously: „fellow daoist please speak frankly that might as well.” 孔吾目光为微凝,郑重言道:“道友请直言无妨。” Gui Wujiu thinks, said calmly: „Gui now cultivation base, although was still shallow, but has also seen incessantly higher boundary mighty figure. In the slightly profound change regarding each boundary, gathers with the shape of heaven and earth, 2-3 points of shallow understanding. If Gui has not misread, although fellow daoist cultivation base finer, but with most Monster King people of same belief, is still in same boundary.” 归无咎想了一想,平静言道:“归某如今修为虽然尚浅,但是也见过不止一位上境大能。对于每一境中的微玄变化、合和天地之象,也有2-3分粗浅的认识。如果归某并未看错,道友虽然修为更精,但是与绝大多数妖王同道,依旧是处于相同境界。” This matter Gui Wujiu remembers afterward, finds it quite important. 此事归无咎事后想起,却觉得颇为重要。 If the Hidden Sect background, four Human Tribulation Dao Venerable assume personal command ; But Saint Cult Ancestral Court including Xian Dao and Ying Yuan two mighty figure, six characters who step the peak of path. 如隐宗的底蕴,有四位人劫道尊坐镇;而圣教祖庭包括显道、应元两位大能在内,更是有六位踏上道途之巅峰的人物。 One of Peacock clan in biggest eight big Monster Race as Purple Tenuity Great World, how its top strength, can be worth the matter of inquisition actually greatly. 孔雀一族作为紫微大世界之中最大的八大妖族之一,其顶尖战力到底如何,倒是一桩大可以值得探究之事。 Kong Wu both eyes close slightly, measured one carefully, seems giving careful consideration. 孔吾双目微微合上,仔细权衡了一阵,似乎正在慎重考虑。 Finally, Kong Wu worried about that Peacock Saint Ancestor said „always following” four characters, start/open Chun said: „Properly speaking, this matter is the basis of clan, cannot easily publicize outside. However your I two since to become Meng, both sides butt buffer, is the inherent connotation.” 终于,孔吾虑及孔雀圣祖所言“言听计从”四字,还是启唇言道:“照理说,此事为一族之根本,不可轻易宣扬于外。但是你我两方既然成盟,双方托底,也是应有之义。” „fellow daoist has not misread, Kong Wu indeed cannot break open that important pass ; However affected, during at a crucial moment to the life or death, in this clan also has the three layers method.” “道友并未看错,孔吾的确尚未能够破开那一道关口;但是到了存亡攸关、千钧一发的当口,本族之中也有三重手段。” The Peacock clan town/subdues clan big mulberry tree, ties big fruit 81 radically, operates broadly broad, various useful 81 little realm. However this tree besides these 81 big fruits, still had many fruitlets. Picks a fruit by big magical power, in person with great divine ability „the four layers gate” divine ability by the clan throws, that is the prestige that two realms collides, may be called destroying heaven and extinguishing earth, may arrive at Human Tribulation Dao Venerable to strike fully. 孔雀一族的镇族根本大桑树,结有大果八十一枚,经营成广阔恢弘、各有用度的八十一处小界。但是此树除了这八十一枚大果之外,尚有为数更多的小果。以大法力采摘一果,由族中大神通者经“四重门”神通投掷出去,那便是两界碰撞的声威,堪称毁天灭地,足可抵人劫道尊一击。 Moreover, under Peacock clan altar, still deeply was sleeping a Monster Ancestor senior. 另外,孔雀一族祭坛之下,尚深眠着一位妖祖前辈。 Monster King breaks through dao boundary, achievement Monster Ancestor. Is ordinary with human cultivator, the hope of ascend upper realm, as before is really uncertain. 妖王破关道境,成就妖祖。与人修一般,飞升上界的希望,依旧甚为渺茫。 If there is achievement Monster Ancestor, is deep conceals underground, waits for the ascend predestined match ; However most of them, died in a sitting posture finally. 若有成就妖祖者,俱是深藏地下,等候飞升良缘;但是其中的绝大多数,都是最终坐化了。 Peacock clan this in the world Monster Ancestor, deeply has slept for 84,000 years, the hope of broken boundary ascend, is not also high. However once in the clan has hardship, can actually awaken him, as one of the clan final depending on. 孔雀一族这一位驻世妖祖,已然深眠八万四千余载,破境飞升的希望,同样并不算高。但是族中一旦有厄,却可以将他唤醒,作为本族最后的倚仗之一。 The Peacock clan third significant background, is first ancient inheritance most precious object, three Nine Plumes Peacock Feather Robe. 孔雀一族的第三道重大底蕴,乃是先古传承的至宝,三件九翎孔雀羽衣。 After wearing this clothes, Monster King boundary cultivation base, can display to be equivalent to the Monster Ancestor strength. These three Peacock Feather Robe , if put in the 1st in body, then must consume thousand years the life span. Therefore does not arrive at the clan life or death the critical moment, will not easily use. 穿上此衣之后,原本妖王境界的修为,可以发挥出相当于妖祖的实力。只是,这三件孔雀羽衣,谁若穿在身上一日,便要消耗一千载的寿命。故而不到一族存亡的关键时刻,决计不会轻易动用。 So secret, Kong Wu dares to speak bluntly, Gui Wujiu also feels really its honestly, immediately spoke seriously thanked. 如此秘辛,孔吾敢直言相告,归无咎也甚感其诚,当即郑重出言谢过。 In the heart measures, if compares with the pledge of Hidden Sect, Hidden Sect four Human Tribulation Dao Venerable in the world, winning are lasting ; But the Peacock clan card in hand, is the extremity, this is the Hidden Sect superior place ; But concerns the temporary explosive force, instead is Peacock clan exceeds plans. 心中权衡,若与隐宗之盟相较,隐宗四位人劫道尊驻世,胜在持久;而孔雀一族的底牌,都是非常手段,这是隐宗的优胜处;但论及一时的爆发力,反而是孔雀一族胜过一筹。 After finding out, double-hour already. Kong Wu also said goodbye in advance. 问明之后,时辰已至。孔吾也就先行告辞了。 Inside and outside the banquet is divided into two, the curtain curls up, encircles the spring to be separated by a wide approximately more than ten zhang (3.33 m) basin. 宴席分为内外两间,帷幕卷起,又以一宽约十余丈的水池围泉相隔。 Above that spring water, sets up 36 looks to promote, the graceful dancing girl, light clothes Luo Shang, jade pendant Ding dang ; Treadons the clear wave, lithe such as palm, handsome, if flies. 在那泉水之上,立着三十六位姿容超拔、身姿曼妙的舞女,轻衣罗裳,环佩玎珰;脚踏清浪,轻盈如掌心一叶,翩翩若飞。 A Gui Wujiu with rapt attention view, identifying these 36 dancing girls, although seems like the makings to be very similar, but 18, stems from 18 different water clan ; Another 18, actually stems from 18 different spirit. Spirit that 36 species vary, so trains the makings to unite, the unusual conditions, Gui Wujiu cannot bear acclaims secretly. 归无咎凝神一观,辨认出这三十六位舞女虽然看上去气质十分相似,但是其中十八位,乃是出自十八种不同的水族;另有十八位,却是出自十八种不同的精怪。将三十六种种属不一的妖精,调教得如此气质合一,浑然天成,归无咎也忍不住暗暗赞叹。 The guest of outside, total 30. Is Gui Wujiu at meeting has Peacock clan of casual acquaintance to be in direct line in „Hunt of the First Winter Month”. Actually Gui Wujiu hunts at the meeting seeing far more than myriad, but most people foundation is too shallow, and disqualification participates in the meeting of today. 外间的诸位宾客,共计三十位。都是归无咎在“孟冬田猎”会上有过一面之缘的孔雀一族嫡传。其实归无咎田猎会上所见者何止万千,但是其中绝大多数人根基太浅,并无资格参与今日之会。 Is headed by Kong Jiao, many have had fight Kong Tan, Kong Xia and the others of Gui Wujiu. However at this time these person of facial colors are respectful and prudent, one by one comes to propose a toast. 以孔郊为首,其中不乏和归无咎有过交手的孔覃、孔夏等人。但是此时这些人面色恭谨,一一前来敬酒。 Today gathers, there is will pass obsession and meaning of hostility writing off. As the Peacock clan honored guest, they are not naturally willing to leave behind what lump with the relations of Gui Wujiu. 今日一聚,也有将过去执念与敌意一笔勾销之意。作为孔雀一族的上宾,他们自然不愿和归无咎的关系中留下什么疙瘩。 But in several people of seat, are known as with the person of Gui Wujiu really somewhat fate. 而内席的数人,才是号称与归无咎真有几分缘分的人。 In the seat altogether is seven people. 内席共是七人。 The day before yesterday ahead of time visited, divination had/left „alone eye” Kong Quan ; Peacock clan first is in direct line Kong Xuan ; Meets to present as a gift with Gui Wujiu earliest, delivers attending token, to facilitate Kong De and Kong Yan of alliance chance ; It is said the only mental perception knows the bead and gamble Gui Wujiu in the Blue Jasper Hall gambling play to gain hundreds of billions between-meal snack Kong Ling, and Kong Ling handkerchief junction, accompanies Kong Mo that comes. Last person, is Gui Wujiu after Jianzhang Sect hands down „rise and fall” the law, another for the Peacock clan clan numerous who it profits, named Kong Ci. 前日提前拜望、卜出“独目”之相的孔铨;孔雀一族的第一嫡传孔萱;与归无咎最早见面赠,送与会牌符、促成联盟机缘的孔德、孔言;据说唯一一位慧眼识珠、在碧瑶堂博注戏中押注归无咎赚上数千亿零食的孔凌,以及孔凌的手帕交、结伴而来的孔墨。最后一人,乃是归无咎于建章门传下“兴衰”之法后,又一位为之受益的孔雀一族族众,名为孔辞。 However, the atmosphere in palace as if somewhat is marvelous. 不过,殿中的氛围却似乎有些奇妙。 These at hunting the meeting have had fight Kong Tan, Kong Xia and the others of Gui Wujiu, extremely broad and level courtliness, the action is graceful, the expression is also very appropriate. As if decides, is riding „from an exchange of blows friendship grows” the fate, repairs in good with Gui Wujiu. 那些与归无咎在田猎会上有过交手的孔覃、孔夏等人,极为坦荡恳挚,举动落落大方,言辞也很是得体。似乎打定主意,乘着“不打不相识”的缘分,和归无咎重修于好。 Person situated in seat, is properly speaking deeper with the Gui Wujiu fate. 位居内席之人,按理说与归无咎缘分更深。 At this time in six side seats, except that Kong Xuan is mindless, as before casual beside. On the contrary is that seems like that the manner is quite cautious timid Kong Quan, most can let loose. Other various people, indistinctly somewhat cautious, thus this meeting of banqueting , was not so lively. 只是此时六方座席之中,除了孔萱没心没肺,依旧大大咧咧之外。反倒要数那看似为人极为拘谨胆怯的孔铨,最放得开。其余诸人,都隐约有些拘谨,因而这饮宴之会,也就不那么热闹了。 Is is really Fangzheng and manner consistent calm free and easy Kong De, after Gui Wujiu exchanging greetings smalltalk, seemed also more quiet. Looked only his appearance described, cannot detect, since Peacock Saint Ancestor melts magical power obviously, participates in Hunt of the First Winter Month the feudal official of first in merit as Gui Wujiu, he sealed ten times of rewarding yesterday. 就连为人甚是方正、举止一贯从容洒脱的孔德,与归无咎寒暄客套之后,似乎也寡言少语了许多。单看他这面貌形容,丝毫察觉不出,自孔雀圣祖显化法力之后,作为归无咎参与孟冬田猎的首功之臣,他昨日又加封了十倍的赏赐。 Reasons for this include, looks like on Kong Tan, Kong Xia and the others, although Gui Wujiu carries person of the alien race win surely, must take the trouble to be on good terms ; However is also insufficient to produce is away from and dreads base and low, with and other mood. 究其原因,就孔覃、孔夏等人看来,归无咎虽是千万载一出的异族夺魁之人,须得费心交好;但是还不至于产生距离、畏惧、与卑微等情绪。 However several honored guests of near table, „rear palace” waited in besieged city due north the day before yesterday ; Experienced under the Peacock Saint Ancestor arrange/cloth with own eyes the method, as well as „always following” four characters. 但是近桌的几位贵客,前日都是在围城的正北“后殿”等候;亲眼见识了孔雀圣祖布下手段,以及“言听计从”四个字。 In this generation of mind, the Gui Wujiu image is entirely different. 在此辈心目中,归无咎的形象已经截然不同了。 Except for Kong Quan, after Gui Wujiu enlightens, instead can unshackle. 除了孔铨,经由归无咎开导之后,反而能够放得开手脚。 The liquor over three patrol, Gui Wujiu then felt this banquet, since changed the taste, is like chewing wax. 酒过三巡,归无咎本来便觉得这宴会既然变了滋味,也味同嚼蜡。 Although Kong Xuan most can let loose, but where she can manage the skill of what guests and hosts communication and exchanging greetings smalltalk. At this time selfish is tasting 56 types of delicacies, just like has fun. 孔萱虽是最放得开的,但是她哪里管得着什么宾主来往、寒暄客套的本事。此时自顾自的品尝着五六种珍馐,俨然乐在其中。 In the meantime, first is „aiyu” one ; Afterward „plop” „plop” a chaos, mixes with many people to shout low voice lowly. This on the tepid banquet, had the mistake suddenly. 就在此时,先是“哎呦”一声;随后“扑通”“扑通”一阵纷乱,夹杂着许多人小声低呼。这原本就不温不火的宴席,突地生出差池。 Originally, in that dance floor, looks is really the flesh clear such as the jade and looks very beautiful young female, suddenly the under foot slid, stepped on spatial, dropped from the wave on. In other 35 people have to approach, was disrupted the rhythm by her, stops the dancer's posture in abundance. 原来,在那舞池之中,一名看着甚是肌肤晶莹如玉、姿容十分姣好的年轻女子,突然脚下一滑,踩了个空,自水波上跌落下来。其余三十五人中有临近的,被她打乱了节奏,也都纷纷停下舞姿。 These come Monster Race spirit female dancer, is the time of being repeatedly tempered. Today in greeting the important occasion of distinguished guest except for careless mistake, the responsibility is not small. 这些出身妖族精怪的舞姬,无一不是千锤百炼的功夫。今日在迎接贵宾的重要场合上除了纰漏,干系非小。 If can uncover gently fortunately, toward heavy said, entire Peacock clan, in the surface does not have from this up. 若是能够轻轻揭过还好,往重了说,整个孔雀一族,都由此面上无光。 Outside the palace the person's shadow flashes, three and two steps in a female who runs a master of musicians appearance and appearance 30 permits, enters hastily in a terrified way apologizes. 殿外人影闪动,三步并两步跑进来一个伶官打扮、面貌三十许的女子,连忙入内惶恐请罪。 Gui Wujiu waves to hint, hints to might as well. 归无咎挥手示意,示意无妨。 After the masters of musicians asked for mercy, rashly, then must lock that female of having something go wrong with. 伶官告罪之后,不由分说,便要将出了岔子的那名女子锁拿下去。 Gui Wujiu sees that stops to say loudly: „Slow. And makes on her come.” 归无咎见状,高声制止道:“慢。且让她上前来。” Above the banquet, Gui Wujiu felt a moment ago indistinctly, above the dance floor had a female, once for a while peeped, seemed very curious to him. 刚才在宴席之上,归无咎就隐约感到,舞池之上有一名女子,时不时的偷看过来,似乎对他很是好奇。 Gui Wujiu to its report by a smile, this causes her to lose footing carelessly. 归无咎对其报之以一个微笑,这才导致她不慎失足。 When that dancing girl kneels the near, the Gui Wujiu careful examination, appraises his aura root foot, said looking pensive: „Whether the person of your same clan and who sets the contract, can you then have the induction?” 待那舞女跪到近前,归无咎仔细查看,品察其气息根脚,若有所思道:“是否你同族之人与谁定下契约,你便能心生感应？” The young female looks the gratitude, catches the self-help opportunity, said repeatedly: „honored guest said is extremely. The indistinct heart has a feeling, this loses concentration carelessly.” 年轻女子面露感激,抓到自救机会,连声道:“尊客所言极是。正是隐约心有所感,这才不慎分神。” Gui Wujiu smiles, said: „In my cave residence has your same clan, in all things were usually good, is only lonely at times, sighed that the side lacked the trusty ancestors friendly forces. You may be willing to return home along with me, keeps company with her?” 归无咎一笑,道:“我洞府之中有一位你的同族,平素里万事都好,只是时时寂寞,感叹身旁缺了可信赖的族裔友邻。你可愿意随我回府,与她做个伴？” The young orange looks the color of pleasant surprise, but does not dare to answer. 年轻橘子面露惊喜之色,只是不敢回话。 Gui Wujiu only looks at toward the Kong Xuan place the vision. 归无咎只把目光往孔萱处望去。 Kong Xuan shows the whites of the eyes, said: „Is spirit, was considered as anything. After the meeting will train the dance Spiritualist to call, establishes the contract for you.” 孔萱翻了个白眼,道:“不过是一株精怪而已,又算得了什么事。会后将调教歌舞的通灵师唤来,为你立下契约。” ...... ……
