Blue warehouse river bank. 蓝仓河上。 Blue warehouse river toward fog shrine and confluence in galvanized iron shrine intersection point. The extravagant approximately more than 30 zhang (3.33 m), more than hundred li (0.5 km), how discussed at the scale cannot be regarded extraordinarily, the water current was not really rapid. 蓝仓河是朝雾神社和星铁神社交界处的一条合流。阔约三十余丈,前后百余里,以规模而论算不得如何出奇,水流也不甚湍急。 The unique element is, the river water of this river looks is the water current, nearly looks is actually one shape between mist, and water current is higher than the two sides water shore more than three chi (0.33 m) high, actually does not overflow. 特殊之处在于,此河的河水远看是水流,近看却是水雾之间的一种形态,且水流高出两边水岸三尺多高,却也并不溢出。 And this river named „blue warehouse river”, actually the water color is actually the light-green, spirited, as if in picture. 且此河名为“蓝仓河”,其实水色却是浅绿色,生动活泼,仿佛画中。 „Luxuriant brother did not think that the northern sand shrine of present is not quite normal?” “蔚兄不觉得如今的北砂神社不太正常吗？” „According to the common sense, wielding half wall is an influence meritorious achievements apex, does not have the possibility of profit again. Arrived this step, should show off martial merit/martial arts, put on a show of peace and prosperity is. But according to information for a long time, the different charm is actually dismantling my four dao art as before actively, spares no effort regarding training of later generation cultivator. Square border, had/left several scale enormous field headquarters, far exceeding necessity of normal security.” “按照常理而言,执掌半壁已然是一家势力功业的顶点,再无进益的可能。到了这一步,理应夸耀武功,歌舞升平才是。而根据长久以来的情报,殊神韵却依旧在积极拆解我四家之道术,对于后辈修者的培养也是不遗余力。四方边境,也多出了数座规模极大的行营,远远超出了正常警戒的必要。” At this time the river bank altogether has four people. 此时河上共有四人。 The galvanized iron shrine society Lord iron bestows. 星铁神社社主铁赐。 The burning sun shrine society lords compare the non- tomb. 炎阳神社社主比不冢。 towards Fog Shrine Society red hair. 朝雾神社社正红发。 , Leave of grass shrine society Lord luxuriant clear one. 还有一位,草叶神社社主蔚晴一。 Iron that just now spoke bestowed. 方才出言的正是铁赐。 These words obviously are send to leave of grass shrine society Lord luxuriant clear one, the primary intention, nothing but is melts horizontally for vertical, wins over the leave of grass shrine. 这一番话明显是对草叶神社社主蔚晴一所发,其中主旨,无非是化横为纵,将草叶神社拉拢过来。 Thinking after a moment, luxuriant clear one said slowly: „Iron society Lord said that I also knew something. Based on this but then said the different charm has the great ambition, as if slightly reluctantly.” 思索有顷,蔚晴一缓缓道:“铁社主所言,我也略知一二。但据此便说殊神韵另有雄心,似乎稍稍勉强。” Compares a non- tomb sigh, said: „I know the leave of grass shrine to become the pledge three generations with the northern sand shrine firmly, in your heart saved backed on the big tree to be good to enjoy the cool air the meaning. The temporary advantage , compared with the life or death of leave of grass shrine throughout the ages, which is the lighter and which is the heavier? Is it possible that you are really willing to look on the leave of grass shrine ten thousand years of base industry, perishes in your hands?” 比不冢一声叹息,道:“我固知草叶神社与北砂神社成盟三代,你心中存了背靠大树好乘凉之意。只是一时之利,和草叶神社千秋万代之存亡相较,孰轻孰重？莫非,你真的愿意坐视草叶神社万年基业,亡在你手里？” The luxuriant clear thinking long time, said: „Ten Yuan profound tree two points of limiting, is not easily broken easily.” 蔚晴一思索良久,才道:“十元玄树二分之限,不是那么容易轻易被打破的。” Actually in his heart also has other consideration. 其实他心中还有其余思量。 Lord as a society of shrine, secret that luxuriant clear knows, naturally common cultivator is many. 作为一家神社的社主,蔚晴一知晓的秘闻,自然远较寻常修道者为多。 The first generation completes such meritorious achievements „five hold ancestor” cannot go a step further again, the biggest reason no doubt is limiting of ten Yuan profound tree ; But also has other news to spread. 前代完成此等功业的“五盛祖”未能再进一步,最大的原因固然是十元玄树之限;但明里暗里还有其他消息流传下来。 „Five hold ancestor” which generation, as long as being the acknowledged leader, properly speaking is rising, all sort of conduct go smoothly everywhere. But the fact is actually not so, every occupies this, that generation of always distress twists and turns are more than other four, always encounters various not being able to think difficulties. 无论是“五盛祖”中的哪一世代,但凡执牛耳者,按理说是如日中天,诸般行事无往不利。但事实却不是如此,凡占此位者,那一代总是困厄波折多于其余四家,总是遇到各种想不到的困难。 As if heaven's will supposes the hindrance, has you topples. 似乎天意设阻,明里暗里有将你拉下马来。 Therefore luxuriant clear has a faith wholeheartedly, in end with the continent , the balance is the correct path, the powerhouse naturally weakens, the weak one naturally transfers ; Dark in „average” the strength is bigger than „integration” the strength. Therefore everything does not need anxiously for a while. 所以蔚晴一心中有一信念,在末拿本洲之中,平衡才是正道,强者自然转弱,弱者自然转强;冥冥之中“平均”之力大于“统合”之力。所以凡事不必急在一时。 Furthermore, from the practical interest consideration, the leave of grass shrine occupied the extremely liberal situation, not only with northern sand shrine to become Meng, does not sustain the pressure of opponent directly. Turns around rashly, if this suspicion not actual proof, the northern sand shrine actually not breaks through the method that half wall limits, after that oneself transfers the cow, to become the joke. 再者,从现实利益考量,草叶神社原本占据极为优渥的形势,既与北砂神社成盟,又不直接承担对手的压力。贸然转过来,若这猜疑并无实证,北砂神社其实并无突破半壁之限的手段,那自己转为牛后,岂不是成了笑话。 Therefore to conclusive that moment without doubt, in the luxuriant clear position, is extremely not difficult to set firm resolve. 所以不是到确凿无疑的那一刻,处在蔚晴一的位置上,极难下定决心。 The iron bestows and urges: „First generation ‚five hold ancestor’ meritorious achievements how? This life is five hold ancestor one by one present world, is actually defeated by different charm one by one. Before this matter, can the luxuriant brother dare to believe three points? Since she can achieve this step, limiting of ten Yuan profound tree, is not necessarily sturdy.” 铁赐又劝道:“前代‘五盛祖’功业如何？今世可是五盛祖一一现世、却又被殊神韵一一击败。在此事发生之前,蔚兄可敢信了三分？既然她能做到这一步,十元玄树之限,也未必牢靠。” The luxuriant clear vision moves. 蔚晴一目光一动。 Obviously, the iron bestows these words to have the weight/quantity. 很显然,铁赐这句话甚有分量。 The iron bestows the one revolution head, said suddenly: „red hair fellow daoist. don't must be my two people of argument. You also said two.” 铁赐一转首,忽道:“红发道友。莫要都是我二人费口舌。你也说上两句。” The reason that because the wonderful wisdom really passed away accidentally/surprisingly, the military avid follower is busy with the matter of processing succeeding to the throne, therefore this secret meeting, actually replaces to participate toward fog shrine another society red hair. 因为妙智真意外亡故的缘故,武狂徒又忙于处理继位之事,所以这一番密会,却是朝雾神社另一位社正红发代替参加。 red hair hehe smiles, an indifferent attitude, said: „Even if the heaven's will different charm really has the merit of unified a realm, I and others must give her to create some difficulties ; Cannot allow her easily to make.” 红发呵呵一笑,一副无所谓的态度,道:“就算天意殊神韵真有统一一界之功,我等总要给她制造一些困难;不能容她轻易做成。” The iron bestows and compares the non- tomb to knit the brows together. 铁赐、比不冢一同皱眉。 Wants him to persuade, might as well did not urge. 要他相劝,还不如不劝。 Luxuriant clear one silent long time, said finally: „If attempts outside northern sand shrine really half walls, I and your three stand is.” 蔚晴一默然良久,终于道:“若是北砂神社果然有半壁之外的企图,我与你三家站在一起便是。” Compares non- tomb hearing this, relaxes. 比不冢闻言,松了一口气。 He naturally did not count on that a meeting disintegrates with the northern sand and leave of grass pledge, then with oneself intimate. Can make luxuriant clear have such an explicit statement, the trip is successful. 他自然不指望一次聚会就瓦解和北砂、草叶之盟,转而和自己这边亲密无间。能够让蔚晴一有这样一个明确的表态,此行已然算是成功了。 In the meantime, a towering sound remembers suddenly: „Still in dream. The different charm will soon start, imminent. Is so the cooperation of degree, but also is far from enough.” 就在此时,一个突兀的声音忽然想起:“诸位犹在梦中。殊神韵即将发动,迫在眉睫。仅仅是这般程度的合作,还远远不够。” The iron bestows and other people, hearing this in great surprise. 铁赐等四人,闻言大惊。 Transfers together, in the midpoint of this blue warehouse river, does not know when has been setting up one person, is a new face, approximately the middle-aged age, the look is ordinary, the attire is simple. Only has to compare the non- tomb, the flash seemed to think that this person is somewhat familiar ; But fixes the eyes on looked again, confirmed that is not acquainted. 一同转首来看,在这蓝仓河的正中央,不知何时已立着一人,是个生面孔,大约中年年纪,相貌平凡,衣着朴素。唯有比不冢,一瞬之间似乎觉得此人有些熟悉;但定睛再看,又确认并不相识。 View its meteorology, cannot understand his cultivation base unexpectedly high under. 观其气象,竟不能明了他修为之高下。 Compares a non- tomb brow wrinkle, slightly a stop, unexpected by „who you have not been, is what origin” and so on question hand, but asked directly: „Did you say what basis?” 比不冢眉头一皱,略一停顿,出人意料的未以“你是何人,是何来历”之类的问话起手,而是径直问道:“你所言有何依据？” The strangers said lightly: „How can I the lies bully? The northern sand shrine will soon annex four «Uniting Books» has drawn up to send out, approximately in less than ten days of half a month, your four shrines all can know it. Why do I play such joke with you?” 陌生人淡淡道:“我岂会虚言相欺？北砂神社即将吞并四家的《合一书》已然拟好发出,大约用不了十天半个月,你们四家神社皆能知之。我又何必与你们开这样的玩笑？” The iron bestows and compares the non- tomb and luxuriant clear first grade four people, is moved. 铁赐、比不冢、蔚晴一等四人,都是怅然若失。 A silence of difficult word. 一阵难言的沉默。 As far as eyes can reach, is not only luxuriant clear one somewhat absent-minded, as if not believe ; A red hair languid manner ; All along with the northern sand shrine battle for a long time compares the non- tomb and iron to bestow two people, has not appeared proper intense, instead is...... somewhat depressed. 一眼望去,不仅仅是蔚晴一有些失神,似乎不信;红发一副懒洋洋的神态;就连一贯与北砂神社争斗已久的比不冢、铁赐二人,也并未显现出应有的激越,反而是……有些消沉。 Because, in four people of mind a thought flashes through suddenly, considers the both sides relative strength, discovered that even four big shrine joint efforts, north the sand shrine odds of success to getting up is still not high. 因为猝然之间,四人脑海中一个念头闪过,考量双方实力对比,发现就算是四大神社合力,对上北砂神社胜算也是不高。 Four people of various self-evident become aware. 四人各自明悟。 The iron bestows and compares the matter that the non- tomb until now does, provides for a rainy day, rather is obsession in heart. When discovered when phantom that in the heart draws suddenly for, two people found, actually oneself not with courage of northern sand shrine upfront resistance. 铁赐、比不冢一直以来所做的事,与其说是未雨绸缪,不如说是心中的一道执念。当发现心中所画的虚影骤然为真之时,二人才发现,其实自己并无和北砂神社正面对抗的勇气。 Defeated after the past different charm five hold ancestor, the banana plant banana leaf passed away, compares the non- tomb heart deep place not to think that oneself had a victory to look. In recent years, but complies with an illusory thought. 在当年殊神韵击败五盛祖、芭蕉叶亡故之后,比不冢内心深处并不认为自己有一丝胜望。这些年来,只是顺应一个虚幻的念头罢了。 The iron bestows a sigh, said: „If wonderful wisdom really still, me and other collection simultaneous/uniform ten people of strength, led by her, not necessarily cannot vigorously a war with the northern sand shrine.” 铁赐一声叹息,道:“若是妙智真尚在,我等集齐十人之力,以她为首,未必不能和北砂神社倾力一战。” The strangers smile suddenly, said: „Some informs the news ahead of time, originally is facilitates you and other joint efforts. Never expected that instead dispirited, why is actually?” 陌生人忽然一笑,道:“某提前来告知讯息,本是促成你等合力。没想到诸位反而颓丧,却是何故？” Luxuriant clear one said in a low voice: „Actually Yu hopes that you come and others to crack a joke with me. But the reason told me...... to be not such.” 蔚晴一低声道:“其实蔚某倒希望你是来和我等开了个玩笑。但理智告诉我……并非如此。” „Although your I have never met before.” “尽管你我也是素昧平生。” „Different charm was the maturity, the life was still long....... She, if really starts, that means that is not ‚attempt’, but really broke the limit of number of ten Yuan profound tree half wall. If this barrier were broken, then the both sides relative strength, she has carefully calculated inevitably, thinks ten tenths assurances.” “殊神韵尚是壮年,寿元尚久。……她若是真的发动,那就意味着绝不是‘尝试’,而是真的突破了十元玄树半壁之数的限制。若这一条壁垒被打破,那么双方实力对比,她必然是仔细计算过的,自以为有十成把握。” The stranger voice is very indifferent: „Good.” 陌生人声音十分冷漠:“不错。” The red hair vision sizes up in stranger body suddenly repeatedly, the doubt said: „Your excellency appears here, only feared that is not gives the message.” 红发目光忽地在陌生人身上反复打量,狐疑道:“阁下出现在这里,只怕并不是来传递消息的。” The luxuriant clear spirit inspires. 蔚晴一精神一振。 The appearance of present person, regardless of its suitable origin, not necessarily not to represent in his concept „balanced” strength. 眼前之人的出现,无论其适合来历,未必不是代表他观念中的“平衡”之力。 Really, strange humanity: „I have the means.” 果然,陌生人道:“我有办法。” The iron grants to compare the non- tomb to look at each other one, said: „Will idea settle?” 铁赐与比不冢对视一眼,道:“计将安出？” The stranger lip moves slightly, very spoke several words lightly, but lowered the sound. 陌生人嘴唇微动,十分平淡的说了几句话,只是压低了声音。 „It is not good!” “不行！” „Inadequate!” “不成！” His voice falls, the iron bestows, the luxuriant clear first grade person is rejection with one voice. 他话音一落,铁赐、蔚晴一等人已经是异口同声的拒绝。 This scene somewhat is really funny. Just now is the iron bestows and compares the non- tomb pains to persuade, must luxuriant clear drag into the camp ; At this time resists the strategy of northern sand shrine facing this person, they were simultaneously are on the contrary consistent. 这场面着实有些滑稽。方才是铁赐、比不冢苦心相劝,要将蔚晴一拉入己方阵营;此时面对此人对抗北砂神社的策略,他们反倒是同声一致了。 The strangers said spookily: „Cannot think that in mind, regarding this matter's fear, exceeds the shrine to tilt.” 陌生人幽幽道:“想不到在诸位的心目中,对于此事的畏惧,还有胜过神社倾覆。” Luxuriant clear one said decisively: „Working as the age warning from past example is not far. The character...... the conduct unqualified enemy friend, the danger must exceed the different charm like that cannot be the older generations in our respective shrine. Even if the shrine tilts, will of the people especially in ; If vertical it wreaks havoc, the idol that ten thousand years consecrates crashes loudly, my leave of grass shrine was really perishes.” 蔚晴一断然道:“当年事前鉴不远。那般人物……行事无分敌友,危险更要胜过殊神韵,已经不能算是我们各自神社的先辈了。哪怕神社倾覆,人心尤在;若是纵其肆虐,万载供奉的神像轰然崩塌,那我草叶神社才真的算是亡了。” The red hair facial features rare gravity, nods again and again. 红发面容难得的严正,连连颔首。 The iron bestows and compares the non- tomb slightly one hesitant, agrees luxuriant clear seeing. 铁赐、比不冢略一犹豫,也是表示同意蔚晴一之见。 The strangers scoff to say with a smile suddenly: „Must under make a decision not anxiously. Because , the opportunity of making a decision only has one time, is very essential.” 陌生人忽然嗤笑道:“莫要急着下决断。因为对诸位而言,决断的机会只有一次,十分关键。” „I reminded the method that...... oneself proposed am industry only type possible the threat to different charm unified. This different charm is also well aware. Thinks to look, if you are she, how to do?” “我提醒诸位一句……本人所提出的方法是对殊神韵统一之业唯一一种可能的威胁。这一点殊神韵也是心知肚明。想想看,若你们是她,会怎么做呢？” „Sacrificial offering cuts off with the dao thought avalanches, as if also said no that on who is superior who is poor.” “祭祀断绝和道念崩塌之间,似乎也说不上谁优谁劣。” The iron bestows and other people of facial colors changes. 铁赐等四人面色一变。 The strangers taught with skill and patience: „If oneself give guarantee- is completely different from the demented shape that presented other day. And other spiritual will were complete, endures for faithful friend pledge. Then makes what choice?” 陌生人循循善诱道:“若是本人给诸位一个保证-和上回出现的癫狂之象完全不同。其等神意俱全,堪为诸位的忠实友盟。那么诸位又作何抉择呢？” The iron bestows said without hesitation: „That naturally is......” 铁赐毫不犹豫道:“那自然是……” However after these four characters, he stops talking suddenly. If really so meddlesome, why he didn't say from the beginning directly? 但是这四个字之后他蓦然住口。若果然有如此好事,他为何一开始不直接说了出来？ Compares a non- tomb sigh, said: „Some thinks that this matter is unimportant, you must believe firmly that you said are worth trusting well then. However now is curious...... is actually not curious, but was this point becomes the key suddenly.” 比不冢一声叹息,道:“某原以为此事并不重要,你要确信你所言值得信任便好。但是现在却不由地好奇起来……其实也不是好奇,而是这一环忽然变得关键了。” Compares non- tomb both eyes to look straight ahead the person, say/way every single word or phrase: „Who are you?” 比不冢双目直视来人,一字一句的道:“你到底是谁？”
