Heavenly Order City is the north-south waterway hub, clutches the thing communication throat, is the world great vividly is, when the high noon, on the avenue is bustling and filled with people, crowding one another, is very lively. 天定城乃南北水路枢纽,扼东西来往咽喉,是天下一等一的繁华所在,时值正午,大街上人头攒动,接踵摩肩,好不热闹。 „Detective” Cao Manzi snort/hum the southern opera, is protecting the purse, did not think that under the broad daylight, is in the glare of the public eye will have the matter of what danger to happen, moreover recently supposed the gambling house, the side two inviting goons follow exactly. “包打听”曹蛮子哼着戏文,护着钱袋,不觉得光天化日、众目睽睽之下会有什么危险的事情发生,而且最近设下赌局,身边恰好有两名请来的打手跟随。 Is walking, he felt suddenly the waist has the hard object to resist, the hoarse sound resounds in the ear bank together: „Turns to go to nearby lane.” 走着走着,他突然感觉腰间有硬物抵住,一道沙哑的声音在耳畔响起:“拐去旁边巷子。” Sunny, Cao Manzi forehead has the cold sweat to secrete, whether does not dare to take risk probes to resist the waist really lethal weapon, does not dare to question whether the opposite party has the courage of facing the street committing murder, has to change the direction slowly, is walking toward nearby small lane. 阳光明媚,曹蛮子的额头却有冷汗泌出,不敢冒险试探抵住自己腰间的是否真凶器,也不敢质疑对方是否有当街行凶的勇气,只好慢慢改变方向,往着附近小巷子内走去。 In this process, he discovered „ominous person” a medium grade, the bamboo hat proptosis, blocked from the most appearance. 这个过程中,他发现身边的“凶人”个头中等,斗笠前垂,遮住了大半容貌。 At this time, his two goons also discovered is not right, but does not dare hurriedly, to follow cautiously, proceeds fast, discloses secret information, seeks the rescue. 此时,他的两位打手也发现了不对,但不敢造次,一个小心翼翼地跟随,一个飞快往前,通风报信,寻求救援。 Across two small lane, the habitation is gradually scarce, white wall black tile, moss weed. 穿过两条小巷子,人烟渐渐稀少,白墙黑瓦,青苔杂草。 „Ok, making behind that fall back on alley entrance.” Meng Qi continues to suppress the voice to tell, resists the index finger middle finger of Cao Manzi waist not to loosen- when full play Golden Bell Cover, his both hands endure compared with the weapon. “好了,让后面那个退到巷子口。”孟奇继续压住嗓音吩咐,抵住曹蛮子腰间的食指中指没有松开-全力运转金钟罩时,他双手堪比兵器。 Cao Manzi has to shiver the sound to make the goon withdraw, at the same time entreated: „This you, everyone line of travel around the country, friendly disposition leads to wealth, you, if has what difficulty, my Cao Manzi helps absolutely.” 曹蛮子只好颤抖着声音让打手退后,同时哀求道:“这位兄台,大家行走江湖,和气生财,你若有什么难处,我曹蛮子绝对帮忙。” „Heard that you are the Heavenly Order City detective.” Meng Qi had not said oneself observed for two days. “听说你是天定城包打听。”孟奇可没说自己观察两天了。 Hears these words, in Cao Manzi heart great determination, only wants to answer the issue in a big hurry, sends off the god of plague: „The entire Mongolian everyone favor, the friend are many, known relatively are many.” 听到这句话,曹蛮子心中大定,只想快快回答问题,送走瘟神:“全蒙大家抬举,朋友多,知道的就相对多点。” „Very good, if I must ask 12 Phase Gods to work, how needs to contact them?” Meng Qi asked in a low voice. “很好,如果我要请十二相神做事,需要怎么联络他们？”孟奇低声问道。 12 Phase Gods definitely has foreign continues the mission contact way, otherwise depends on Duan Xiangfei such to seek for the words that the whereabouts visits, they already „starving to death”. 十二相神肯定有对外承接任务的联络方式,否则都靠段向非那样寻找行踪上门的话,他们早就“饿死”了。 Naturally, Meng Qi suspected that Duan Xiangfei definitely also tried the contact, results in the arrived information, how otherwise to so meet exactly. 当然,孟奇怀疑段向非肯定也尝试了联络,得到了情报,要不然怎么会如此恰好遇上。 A Cao Manzi whole body cleverness, may feel immediately the waist hard object tightened, has to lick the lip saying: „I do not know that the Daoist Brother stage looks for 12 Phase Gods to make anything, does not want to know, you can go to Huaishu Street ‚cicada in autumn hall’ to try, asked storekeeper buys 726 money no roots to be colored, then reported the reward that mission and is willing to give directly.” 曹蛮子浑身一个机灵,可立刻感觉腰间硬物紧了紧,只好舔了舔嘴唇道:“我不知道兄台找十二相神做什么,也不想知道,你可以去槐树街‘秋蝉堂’试试,问掌柜的买七两六钱无根花,然后直接报任务和愿意给的报酬。” „If 12 Phase Gods agrees to receive, the 2nd day ‚cicada in autumn hall’ will sell calling ‚forgetting sad’ medicinal ointment, you go in directly with storekeeper's conversation are, right, wanted the part payment reward.” “若十二相神同意接下,第二日‘秋蝉堂’就会卖一种叫‘忘忧’的药膏,你进去直接和掌柜的交谈便是,对了,要预付部分报酬。” „Good, is honest.” The hoarse sound in Cao Manzi ear bank reverberation, then he hears to work as a resounding, the ground were many several broken money. “不错,蛮坦诚嘛。”沙哑的声音在曹蛮子耳畔回荡,接着他就听到当一声脆响,地上多了几块碎银子。 When he lowers the head looks at money, at present a flower, discovers kidnapped own person already to vanish another side of the lane a moment ago. 正当他低头看银子时,眼前一花,发现刚才劫持自己的人已经消失在了巷子另外一边。 „This skill......” he is shocked there, slightly has the lingering fear, if oneself do not coordinate, the consequence is dreadful. “这份身手……”他愣住那里,略有后怕,若自己不是那么配合的话,后果不堪设想。 His martial arts is not high, may make friends broadly, the eyesight is good. 他武功不高,可交游广阔,眼力不错。 ............ ………… Although Meng Qi planned that through entrusting the mission way, employs two methods to achieve one goal to fish 12 Phase Gods, but does not have eagerly for a while, but is every night monitors You Residence, during the daytime sits in meditation to practice martial arts, noses around the news, after all the Grandmaster duel and Monkey robbed the matter of Buddha just to spread, nearby 12 Phase Gods has not likely caught up, if at this time entrusted mission, will definitely be accepted by „Monkey”, wastes skill|effort. 孟奇虽说打算通过委托任务的方式,双管齐下地钓出十二相神,但也没有急于一时,而是每日夜里监视尤府,白天打坐练武,四处探听消息,毕竟宗师决斗和申猴盗佛的事情才刚刚传扬出去,附近的十二相神很可能还没赶来,此时若委托任务,肯定会由“申猴”接受,白费功夫。 arrived fourth day, in the nearby martial arts world the person catches up one after another, Heavenly Order City is even more lively, many inn restaurants are fully occupied. 到了第四天,附近武林中人陆续赶来,天定城愈发热闹,不少客栈酒楼是人满为患。 The temple that being satiated with food and wine Meng Qi just returned to put up for the night in a temple, saw that in the institute were many two male and two female, all youth luxuriant youngster, male wears scroll beam Guan, wears the big sleeve garment, the stature is tall and straight, two young girls, wear the lake duck long skirt, wears the white boots, a pure white vigor attire, is graceful, to look makes people pleasant. 吃饱喝足的孟奇刚回到挂单的寺庙,就看到院内多了两男两女,皆青春正茂的年轻人,男的戴卷梁冠,着大袖衫,身材挺拔,两位少女,一个穿湖水绿长裙,着白色靴子,一个素白劲装,身材婀娜,长得都算让人赏心悦目。 With sword, does not know that can use the sword...... Meng Qi inwardly to whisper, this two male and two female waist is hanging is the long swords. 都用剑啊,也不知道能不能用好剑……孟奇暗自嘀咕了一声,这两男两女腰间悬挂着的都是长剑。 Has the Jiang Zhiwei pearls and jade before , some of her sword technique difficult studying difficult fine words reminders, person of Meng Qi to using long sword are always for many several points to carefully examine. 有江芷微珠玉在前,又有她剑法难学难精的话语提醒,孟奇对使用长剑的人总是多了几分审视。 When inquires the news cannot be extremely striking, Meng Qi has not put on white monk robe that oneself purchase, after this two male and two female discovery is the grey clothes monk comes, but also thinks is in the temple the monks, extremely has not paid attention, is speaking, was discussing Cui Xu and Luo Qing the war of Grandmaster, was discussing Monkey keeps the book to rob the matter of Buddha, seems very excited. 由于打探消息时不能太过醒目,孟奇并未穿自己购买的白色僧袍,这两男两女发现是个灰衣和尚进来后,还以为是寺内僧众,并没有太过关注,自顾自地说着话,议论着崔栩与洛青的宗师之战,议论着申猴留书盗佛之事,显得很是兴奋。 „If can see present age fights of two big Sword Dao Grandmaster, our sword technique can definitely progress by leaps and bounds.” The young girl of lake duck skirt day-dreams said, her five senses is straight, the skin is white and tender, on the face has several points light people with a pockmarked face. “若是能一睹当世两大剑道宗师的交手,我们的剑法肯定能突飞猛进。”湖水绿裙子的少女悠然神往地说道,她五官端正,皮肤白嫩,脸上有几点淡淡的麻子。 The stature high man said with a smile: „When the time comes, the reputations of our Jiangnan four brave will spread over across the country, waterway thing.” 身材较高的男子笑道:“到时候,我们江南四英的名头就会传遍大江南北,水路东西。” „But only then the invited famous elder senior can enter the City Lord mansion to observe, the young girl cheek that oh......” pure white vigor installs is round, is passing several points of lovable. “可是只有得到邀请的名宿前辈才能进城主府观战,唉……”素白劲装的少女脸蛋圆圆,透着几分可爱。 Opposite individual relatively short point man looks, hopes for the said/tunnel: „Ning doesn't brother, you make friends broadly? What means has?” 个人相对矮一点的男子看着对面,期盼地道:“宁兄,你不是交游广阔吗？有没有什么办法？” ...... …… The restaurants in several people of discussion and outside not the slightest difference, Meng Qi really could not be interested, walks toward the monk's room that oneself resided temporarily directly. 几人的讨论与外面的酒楼别无二致,孟奇实在提不起兴趣,直接往自身寄居的禅房走去。 The front surface came the monk in charge of reception of visitors, smilingly holds their palms together: „Does Master Zhen Ding, how come back today so early?” 迎面来了知客僧,笑眯眯地双手合十:“真定法师,今日怎得回来如此早？” „Outside too many people, quarrelled annoyed, might as well come back to seek a purity.” Meng Qi spoke thoughtlessly. “外面太多人,吵得心烦,还不如回来寻个清净。”孟奇随口说的。 The monks in charge of reception of visitors referred to the two male and two female in courtyard: „Yes, many Benefactor could not find the guest room, has the residing temporarily buddhist temple.” 知客僧指了指院子内的两男两女:“是啊,不少施主都找不到客房,只好寄居禅林。” The come Jiang Hu person are really many, even this tattered temple some people resided temporarily...... the Meng Qi unstated criticism, the exchanging greetings moment, in shoved open the monk's room to enter. 来的江湖人士还真不少啊,连这破烂寺庙都有人来寄居……孟奇腹诽了一句,寒暄片刻,推开禅房入内。 Sincere, Meng Qi just sat down, some people called to sound the door. 笃笃笃,孟奇刚坐下,就有人叫敲响了房门。 „This Benefactor?” Meng Qi opens the door, saw that out two male two girls'school stature high that men smilingly are built on. “这位施主？”孟奇打开房门,看到两男两女中身材较高的那位男子笑眯眯地立于门外。 He puts on quite the ancient customs, the pair of impressive slender arched eyebrows, the smile said: „Ning Daogu below Jiangnan four UK , China, that three becomes sworn brothers the sister-in-law below, Ji new, Le Shishi, Nie Yao, does not know the master high and low.” 他穿着颇为古风,有一双让人印象深刻的卧蚕眉,微笑道:“在下江南四英中的宁道古,那三位是在下结义弟妹,纪新,乐诗诗,聂瑶,不知法师上下。” I do not need to know that your nicknames...... Meng Qi whispered, while replied: „This poor monk Zhen Ding, rather Benefactor why?” 我才不需要知道你们的外号……孟奇一边嘀咕,一边回答:“贫僧真定,宁施主所来为何？” Ning Daogu trying hard was appeared the elegant bearing by oneself: „Below thinks just now the master is this temple monk, is actually mistaken, does not know that which temple eminent monk the master is? But comes to observe the war of Grandmaster to rob Buddha with Monkey?” 宁道古努力让自己显得风度翩翩:“适才在下以为法师乃本寺僧人,却是走了眼,不知法师是哪一寺高僧？可是来观宗师之战和申猴盗佛的？” „This poor monk is Heretical Zen, days before wandered arrived Heavenly Order City, non- catches up specially.” Meng Qi „told the facts”. “贫僧乃野狐禅,前几日就云游到了天定城,非是专程赶来。”孟奇“实话实说”。 Ning Daogu, talked several to say goodbye to leave. 宁道古哦了一声,交谈了几句就告辞离开。 Closes the door, Meng Qi paces to return to wide bed, hears Ning Daogu indistinctly to another three Human Dao: „Is an ordinary monk, no unique element.” 合上房门,孟奇踱步回到通铺,隐约听见宁道古对另外三人道:“是个普通和尚,没什么特殊之处。” „Looks at his appearance out of the ordinary, I also think that with our same Jiang Hu Fellow Daoist, is the prestigious family eminent monks.” Young girl Le Shishi of lake duck skirt said with a laugh. “看他长相不凡,我还以为是与我们一样的江湖同道,是名门高僧呢。”湖水绿裙子的少女乐诗诗笑呵呵地说道。 Ji Xinhei: „to look attractively actually full belly weed and has, does the don't tell me prestigious family accept the disciple by the appearance honestly? I thought that he practiced several jack of all trade's blade technique most likely casually.” 纪新嘿了一声:“长得好看却满肚子杂草的又不是没有,难道名门正派是靠长相收徒的？我觉得他八成是随便练了几手三脚猫刀法。” „No matter he, latter late is Monkey robs Buddha the time, we do want to go to nearby You Residence to wait for?” Nie Yao said full of enthusiasm. “不管他,后晚就是申猴盗佛的时候了,我们要不要去尤府附近等待？”聂瑶兴致勃勃地说道。 Le Shishi was shifted the attention rapidly, exciting said/tunnel: „Right, latter affirmed that late Jiang Hu Righteous Path gets together, Monkey martial arts is high, double fist also difficult enemy four, once were discovered, definitely the difficult escaping unescapable net, when the time comes, we to have the opportunity to catch him.” 乐诗诗迅速被转移了注意力,兴奋地道:“对啊,后晚肯定江湖正道齐聚,申猴武功再高,双拳也难敌四手,一旦被发现,肯定难逃天罗地网,到时候,我们说不定有机会擒住他。” „If can catch Monkey, our reputations really spread over across the country, waterway thing......” Ning Daogu also a little thought. “要是能擒住申猴,我们的名头就真的传遍大江南北,水路东西了……”宁道古也有点浮想联翩。 Meng Qi curls the lip, with single-hearted devotion sat in meditation to sit in meditation, passed a double-hour, paced to go out, went to Huaishu Street directly. 孟奇撇了撇嘴,专心致志地打坐入定,过了一个时辰,才踱步出门,径直去了槐树街。 „Cicada in autumn hall” is a medicine shop that seems like very old-fashioned, the old with dim eyes of storekeeper, the ear is slow, without greeting Meng Qi. “秋蝉堂”是一家看起来很陈旧的药铺,掌柜的老眼昏花,耳朵迟钝,没有招呼孟奇。 Meng Qi wears the azure casual cloth, wears the bamboo hat, arrives in front of the storekeeper saying: „I take 726 money no roots to be colored.” 孟奇身着青色常服,头戴斗笠,走到掌柜面前道:“我要七两六钱无根花。” No root is colored, basic nonexistence one medicine. 无根花,根本不存在的一种药物。 The storekeepers are dialing the abacus, hears word to stop, then continues to dial, sound old said/tunnel: „Are 726 money no roots flower?” 掌柜正在拨打算盘,闻言停顿了一下,然后继续拨打,声音苍老地道:“七两六钱无根花？” „Yes, pre-war of Grandmaster, grasps You Family young child Hongbo especially to me, the reward is «Great Illusory Shadow Technique».” Meng Qi deliberately changes the sound to say. “是,宗师之战前,将尤家幼子尤弘博抓给我,报酬为《幻形大法》。”孟奇刻意改变着声音道。 Although without complete edition «Great Illusory Shadow Technique», but fools the person, oneself did not fear in any case 12 Phase Gods chasing down, has the skill to pursue to Reincarnation Space goes! 虽然没有全本的《幻形大法》,但唬弄唬弄人还是可以的,反正自己也不怕十二相神事后的追杀,有本事就追到轮回空间去！ Hears «Great Illusory Shadow Technique», the storekeeper eyelid jumps, raised the head suddenly, gawked half sound, sighed: „Today no root flower no goods available, will take tomorrow.” 听到《幻形大法》,掌柜眼皮一跳,猛然抬头,愣了半响,叹了口气道:“今日无根花无货,明日来取。” Meng Qi satisfaction smiles, the going out continuous change the route, in the retreat except below bamboo hat, exchanged monk robe. 孟奇满意一笑,出去连续变化了路线,在僻静处除下斗笠,换上僧袍。 Returns to the temple, besides „the Jiangnan four brave”, in the courtyard were also many some Jiang Hu people, seems like their friends, the positive phase discussed really happy. 回到寺庙,除了“江南四英”,院子里又多了一些江湖人士,看起来是他们的朋友,正相谈甚欢。 „Who is the monk?” “那和尚是谁啊？” „Ordinary putting up for the night in a temple monk.” “一个普通的挂单僧人。” „, No wonder the age is quite small.” “哦,难怪年纪颇小。” After simple conversation, they returned to arrived their topic rapidly, Meng Qi also sit in meditation the congealing hole with single-hearted devotion. 简单的交谈后,他们迅速回到了自身的话题,孟奇也专心打坐凝穴去了。 In the institute the people were saying to be saying, suddenly the discovery the man who comes to have an imposing appearance, probably 30 over, thick eyebrows red painted-face, martial-looking out of the ordinary. 院内众人说着说着,忽然发现又进来一位器宇轩昂的男子,大概三十出头,浓眉红脸,英武不凡。 „Does not know that Master Zhen Ding does reside here?” This man quite said politely submissively. “不知真定法师可是居于此处？”这男人颇有礼貌地拱手道。 Ning Daogu the intuition thinks that this man non- is ordinary, therefore moves forward to meet somebody with a smile: „We are also today, does not know that who is Master Zhen Ding, may I ask your given name, we good to know the guest to come out.” 宁道古直觉认为这男子非是普通,于是笑着迎了上去:“我们亦是今日才到,不知谁是真定法师,敢问兄台名讳,我们好请知客出来。” „Mu Hengtian.” This man replied briefly and to the point. “穆恒天。”这男子言简意赅地回答。 Le Shishi the complexion changes, being pleasantly surprised said/tunnel: „But southern 18 waterway solemn young lord?” 乐诗诗脸色一变,又惊又喜地道:“可是南方十八水路穆少主？” What? The people of presence held breath cold air, but the southern 18 waterways the world great influence, total bandit chief Mu Shan also world First-Class Expert, with Cui City Lord is pays respects the sworn brothers. 什么？在场之人都倒吸了一口凉气,南方十八水路可是天下一等一的势力,总瓢把子穆山亦天下一流高手,与崔城主更是拜把兄弟。 But Mu Hengtian becomes famous young, hearsay already pupil surpasses the teacher, will be the future hopeful Grandmaster character, with and other so-called Jiangnan knights completely will not be person in a level. 而穆恒天年少出名,传闻已经青出于蓝而胜于蓝,是将来有望宗师的人物,与自己等所谓的江南侠客完全不是一个层次上的人。 „18 waterways push the total bandit chief, without young lord this title.” Mu Hengtian expression stern said/tunnel. “十八水路共推总瓢把子,没有少主这个称谓。”穆恒天表情严峻地道。 „Yes, solemn great hero said is extremely.” Ji new flatters said, a people piece echoes. “是,穆大侠所言极是。”纪新讨好地说道,众人一片附和。 At this time, Mu Hengtian saw the monk in charge of reception of visitors to come, where hurries to inquire Master Zhen Ding. 这时,穆恒天看到知客僧进来,赶紧询问真定法师何在。 Knew the guest to refer to Room Meng Qi's: „Master Zhen Ding just came back.” 知客指了指孟奇的:“真定法师刚回来。” What? That ordinary is young monk Master Zhen Ding who solemn young lord must look for? Ning Daogu, Nie Yao and the others were shocked. 什么？那普通的小和尚就是穆少主要找的真定法师？宁道古、聂瑶等人都愣住了。 Mu Hengtian deeply inspires, before arriving at the Meng Qi room, submissively salutes, bright sound said: „Master Zhen Ding, below Mu Hengtian, washes off the shame to come for the father, but also please meet head-on.” 穆恒天深吸口气,走到孟奇房前,拱手行礼,朗声道:“真定法师,在下穆恒天,替父洗刷耻辱而来,还请迎战。”
