Qin Sang enters a city to inquire repeatedly, discovered that Bai Jianglan has not really deceived itself, «Crouching tiger Long-range punch» truly is the common goods, in the city Wuwei Bodyguard office and other big bodyguard offices have this Fist Arts. 秦桑多次进城打探,发现白江澜真没骗自己,《伏虎长拳》确实是大路货,城里武威镖局等几大镖局都有这门拳法。 To study the fist not to need to join the bodyguard office, spending money also to become, but studies «Crouching tiger Long-range punch» merely takes 40-50 taels of silver, Qin Sang purse immediately on the shrivelled larger part. 想要学拳倒也不用非得加入镖局,花银子也成,可是仅仅学《伏虎长拳》就要40-50两银子,秦桑的钱袋立刻就瘪一大半。 However, «Serenity Scripture» uncertain future, he must certainly study this Fist Arts approaching body. 不过,《幽冥经》前途未卜,他肯定要学这门拳法傍身。 Sees the old daoist gentleman not to reply, Qin Sang is secret, asked: „Daoist priest, don't you want to let the bright moonlight study military?” 见老道士不答话,秦桑暗暗奇怪,问:“道长,您不会不想让明月学武吧？” „He practiced for two months with you, can this poor Daoist once stop you?” “他跟你练了两月,贫道可曾阻拦过你们？” The old daoist gentleman stops, turned around to ask back, sat down in the roadside blue stone, drinks water, looks at the boundless heaven, sighed: „This year's snow was earlier than so many old times, this way of the world, the nature and man-made disaster followed on somebody's heels, the human affairs was difficult to predict, the bright moonlight can have a skill in Wushu approaching body, was the good deed.” 老道士停下来,转身反问了一句,在路边青石上坐下,喝了口水,看着茫茫苍天,叹息道:“今年的雪比往年早这么多,这个世道,天灾人祸接踵而至,世事难料,明月能有一门武艺傍身,也是好事。” Qin Sang sits down in his side, says with a smile: „What do you fear? Goral Monastery is not your inherited family property, even if the Great Sui country has the chaos, at the worst handles the travel bag, goes to other country to evade the calamity, the bright moonlight has you to pass to his skill, can have a food to eat to where.” 秦桑在他身边坐下,笑道:“您怕什么？青羊观又不是您祖传的家业,就算大隋国发生大乱,大不了打理行囊,去别的国家避祸,明月有您传给他的一身本事,到哪里都能有口饭吃。” Qin Sang became friends with several peddler, knew this world is quite broad, Great Sui south, several small countries that were similar Ningguo, had the boundless area toward south again. 秦桑结交了几个行商,才知这个世界极为广阔,大隋之南,有十几个类似宁国的小国,再往南还有无边疆域。 Borders on with Great Sui north, is a great nation permanent country, heard that the area in border is vast, compared with the permanent country, Great Sui can only can be the projectile small country. 与大隋北方接壤的,则是一个大国恒国,听说国境内的疆域非常辽阔,和恒国相比,大隋只能算得上弹丸小国。 But north the permanent country, the legend also has compared with a permanent country more powerful great nation. 而恒国以北,传说还有比恒国更强大的大国。 The average people from south to north and from east to west, to dying cannot arrive at the boundary. 普通人从南往北、从东往西,到死也走不到边际。 Qin Sang is also helping herbal medicine that picks the understanding, one old one few does not stand still, packed a back-basket in the afternoon, to the dim light of night, two talents will look for a cave to rest, lights a fire to prepare food. 秦桑也帮着采摘认识的草药,一老一少不停歇,一个下午就装满了一个背篓,到夜色将至,两人才找了一个山洞休息,烧火做饭。 Although the breath sought the immortal thoughts temporarily, when picks the medicine, whenever meets the cave spring, Qin Sang always cannot bear the probe head look at one. 虽然暂时息了寻仙心思,但采药之时,每当遇到山洞泉眼,秦桑总是忍不住探头看一眼。 The old daoist gentleman is helpless, „you, does not lose heart. This poor Daoist have said with you, this surrounding area hundred li (0.5 km) mountain peak, this poor Daoist went all over, the cave on mountain has also lived, has never seen what deity. Seeks the skeleton that the immortal leaves behind to see actually much, has encoffinned several personally.” 老道士无奈,“你啊,还是不死心。贫道早就和你说过,这方圆百里的山峰,贫道都走遍了,山上的山洞也都住过,从未见过什么神仙。寻仙人留下的尸骸倒是见过不少,亲手装殓过几具。” Qin Sang can only ridicule, in the change fire is roasting the steamed bread, saw that old daoist sits cross-legged to sit in the one side, closes eyes to sit in meditation, for a long time motionless, in the heart moves suddenly, Solitary Heart Daoist does already achieve the boundary that mind like still water? 秦桑只能讪笑,翻动火上烤着的窝头,看到老道盘腿坐在一旁,闭目静坐,许久不动一下,心中猛然一动,寂心道人难道已经达到心如止水的境界？ The living example at present, oneself had not actually seen, is seriously blind. 活生生的榜样就在眼前,自己却一直没有看到,当真是瞎了眼。 In the Qin Sang heart regretted, quickly spoke to consult, „Daoist priest, how you achieved to eliminate the distracting thoughts, calm?” 秦桑心中懊悔,急忙出言请教,“道长,您是怎么做到摒除杂念,平心静气的？” Solitary Heart Daoist closes one's eyes to ask: „You read that how many remembers?” 寂心道人闭着眼问:“你看了那么多道经,记住多少？” Qin Sang blushes with shame, his tendency Immortal Dao, looks down upon the scrip­tures of mediocre taoist priest, pure to be literate to consult to old daoist, turns the Daoist scripture, east western, has not read through well. 秦桑汗颜,他心向仙道,看不起凡俗道士的经文,单纯为了认字好向老道请教,才翻道经,东边一句西边一句,从来没好好通读过。 „First eats the thing.” “先吃东西。” The old daoist gentleman does not appraise, takes up steamed bread, chews carefully. 老道士也不评价,拿起一个窝头,细嚼慢咽。 Worry that Qin Sang looks. 秦桑看的着急。 The old daoist gentleman shot a look at his one eyes, „peaceful mind, the static air/Qi, eats meal also practices.” 老道士瞥了他一眼,“静心,静气,吃饭也是修行。” Qin Sang restrained by force moving restlessly in heart to finish eating the food, discovered the innermost feelings tranquilly really many. 秦桑强压着心中的躁动吃完饭,发现内心真的平静了不少。 Solitary Heart Daoist washes, just now opens the mouth saying: „Can you still remember «Calm Scripture»?” 寂心道人洗漱完毕,方才开口道:“你可还记得《清静经》？” Qin Sang nods hastily, „remembers part.” 秦桑连忙点头,“记得一部分。” „Along with me read...... introspection his heart, the heart does not have his heart ; Outward appearance its shape, the shape does not have its shape ; Far view its thing, the thing does not have its thing......” “随我念……内观其心,心无其心;外观其形,形无其形;远观其物,物无其物……” In the cave resounds a sound of old few sutras, «Calm Scripture» has read, Qin Sang opens eyes, will speak, actually sees the old daoist gentleman to start to read aloud immediately second, quickly follows. 山洞中响起一老一少诵经的声音,一遍《清静经》念过,秦桑睁开眼,正要说话,却见老道士立刻开始念诵第二遍,急忙跟上。 «Calm Scripture» reads aloud several, if Qin Sang has become aware, stayed a while, set out to make to bow with one hand cupped in the other to old daoist, „Daoist priest, can I later make the evening prayers with you together?” 将《清静经》念诵数遍,秦桑若有所悟,呆坐了一会儿,起身向老道做了个长揖,“道长,我以后能不能跟您一起做晚课？” Solitary Heart Daoist laughs in spite of trying not, 寂心道人失笑, „Did you chant scripture, with this poor Daoist what does/works?” In the evening, rests concerned about old daoist in the one side, Qin Sang, although has not practiced «Serenity Scripture», exceptionally is at heart excited, oneself possibly found the correct path. “你念不念经,与贫道何干？”当晚,碍于老道睡在一旁,秦桑虽然没有修炼《幽冥经》,心里却异常激动,自己可能找到正确的路子了。 ...... …… After that Qin Sang then keeps long hours every day, follows the old daoist gentleman and bright moonlight makes the early evening prayers, in an instant end of the year. 此后,秦桑便每日早起晚睡,跟随老道士和明月做早晚课,转眼间年关将至。 This is Qin Sang in the first lunar new year's season that this world passed, he has too many feelings, actually no one may say. 这是秦桑在这个世界度过的第一个年节,他有太多感触,却无人可说。 The lunar new year's season of Daoist temple is ordinary, is worth praising only, Solitary Heart Daoist puts out the master Yun You Zi portrait to worship, Qin Sang saw ox muzzle old daoist of features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality. 道观的年节平平常常,唯一值得称道的,寂心道人拿出师父云游子的画像祭拜,秦桑看到了一位更加仙风道骨的牛鼻子老道。 Although disaster victims like tide, what in Three Witches City is as usual lively, Qin Sang follows the old daoist master and disciple to enter a city to hasten to the fair. 虽然灾民如潮,三巫城中的还是和往常一样热闹,秦桑跟着老道师徒俩进城赶场。 Qin Sang cannot cultivation that ‚air/Qi’, but , to continue two months of insistence is not without the progress, the time of sitting in meditation grows perceptibly, sometimes unknowingly sits in meditation one all night, next day will not be not only weary, instead is refreshing, this makes his confidence more and more full. 秦桑至今没能修炼出那股‘气’,不过,持续两个月的坚持并非没有进步,入定的功夫见长,有时不知不觉打坐一整夜,第二天不仅不会疲倦,反而神清气爽,这让他的信心越来越足。 The Three Witches City north-south thoroughfare, the road is prosperous, the dart line stands in great numbers. 三巫城南北通衢,商道繁盛,镖行林立。 Wuwei Bodyguard office, cannot be regarded the Three Witches City biggest bodyguard office, but the reputation is excellent, when Qin Sang also inquires were many, knows that Wuwei Bodyguard office has a big bodyguard Yang Zhen skill in Wushu to excel, the conduct is honest, the apprentices who teach is a expert. 武威镖局,算不得三巫城最大的镖局,但名声极好,秦桑也是打探了多时,知道武威镖局有一位大镖师杨震武艺高强,品行正直,教出来的徒弟都是好手。 Bodyguard already when the end of the year, guards shipments of goods outside returns to the city mostly, Yang Zhen this dart goes to the national capital, walked for three months to come back, Qin Sang heard the news, immediately buys the gift, asked to visit. 正值年关,在外走镖的镖师大都已经回城,杨震这一趟镖远赴京师,走了三个多月才回来,秦桑听到消息,立刻买好礼物,求上门去。 Five ten taels of silver trade «Crouching tiger Long-range punch», in the Three Witches City major bodyguard offices is high, the accountant mister in Wuwei Bodyguard office received money, assigns/life the partner to bring Qin Sang to look for Yang Zhen. 五十两银子换一门《伏虎长拳》,在三巫城各大镖局里是高的了,武威镖局的账房先生收了钱,命伙计带着秦桑去找杨震。 The following partner enters a yard, Qin Sang noticed that inside already has dozens youngster to wait, asked the partner low voice, „were they Yang Biaotou apprentices?” 跟着伙计走进一个小院,秦桑看到里面已经有几十个少年等着,小声问伙计,“他们都是杨镖头的徒弟？” The waiters nod, said: „Yang Biaotou skill in Wushu high and famous sound, teaches the apprentice never to hide contraband.
