Chen Ping'an shot a look at eye that bag, old Daoist is understanding, pats the package that this only carried along, said with a smile: „The otherness, is only an elegance of travel bag is no other unsuccessful, being full of grievances, was not Young Master opened, so as to avoid being fishy.” 陈平安瞥了眼那只袋子,老道士会意,拍了拍这只随身携带的包裹,笑道:“别无他物,只是一行囊的郁郁不得志,满腹牢骚,就不为公子打开了,免得乌烟瘴气。” Old Daoist looked at eye that to rest the head on young scholar that the celadon ware slept soundly as before, after taking back the line of sight, looked at the eye outside path, sighed: „Has no other desire, only asked in the primal chaos book the righteousness, did not have others again, was Handan says left people.” 老道士看了眼那个依旧枕青瓷而酣睡的年轻书生,收回视线后,看了眼外边的道路,感叹道:“别无他求,只求太极书中义,再无旁人,都是邯郸道左人。” Chen Ping'an sets out immediately with a smile, retrocedes two steps, bows in salute saying: „Younger generation Chen Ping'an, pays a visit Master Lu.” 陈平安立即笑着起身,后退两步,作揖道:“晚辈陈平安,拜见吕祖。” Was politely called by Chen Ping'an for old Daoist of Master Lu beckons with the hand, hints to sit down the speech, asked: „Middle-Earth Divine Continent Liang Shuang, Reeds Continent fire dragon Mister, Deep Azure Domain Profound Capital Monastery Daoist Priest Sun, can they once Pojing?” 被陈平安尊称为“吕祖”的老道士摆摆手,示意坐下说话,问道:“中土神洲梁爽,俱芦洲火龙先生,青冥天下的玄都观孙道长,他们可曾破境？” Chen Ping'an shakes the head saying: „Not broken boundary.” 陈平安摇头道:“都未曾破境。” Old daoist sobbed, looked up the day, „spirit about the universe, said the direct access to the highest authorities outside. Air/Qi five lines of wonder, among livelihood square inches.” 老道人唏嘘不已,抬头望天,“精神合太虚,道通天地外。气得五行妙,日月方寸间。” Chen Ping'an sits cross-legged to sit, the smile said: „Liquor wells up the big river current, the person ascends Yellow Crane Tower. Said the secret art light ten thousand zhang (3.33 m), various ancient and modern centuries.” 陈平安盘腿而坐,微笑道:“酒涌大江流,人登黄鹤楼。道诀光万丈,古今各千秋。” Old Daoist expressed admiration, caressing must smile, „pouring block rock pile, the solution thousand worried.” 老道士啧啧称奇,抚须而笑,“浇块磊,解千愁。” Chen Ping'an asked curiously: „Can old seniors with that Treasure Bottle Continent yellow beam/sorghum Guo, have the origin?” 陈平安好奇问道:“老前辈与那宝瓶洲的黄粱国,可有渊源？” The old Daoist nod said: „poor daoist native place in that side, but very early wandered on exiling home, in years that Deep Azure Domain treats, instead be more than hometown.” 老道士点头道:“贫道的籍贯就在那边,只不过很早就离乡云游了,在青冥天下待的岁月,反而要比家乡更多。” Old Daoist the smile plays the flavor immediately: „Long ago poor daoist, if mixes the cicada slough used in Chinese medicine Grotto-Heaven asking sword, that surnamed Chen, is not necessarily able to move out.” 老道士随即笑容玩味道:“早年贫道若是掺和蝉蜕洞天的问剑,那个姓陈的,未必能够全身而退。” Chen Ping'an does not appraise, actually this was one type „said offended two” owing skill. 陈平安对此不予评价,其实这就是一种“说一个得罪两个”的亏本事。 Chen Ping'an also asked: „Can senior once meet old tree essence?” 陈平安又问道:“前辈可曾遇到过一位老树精？” Old Daoist thinks, the nod said: „Under the destiny coincidence, has directed its some cultivated.” 老道士想了想,点头道:“机缘巧合之下,指点过它一些修行。” Before Chen Ping'an participated on the way of in the world Culture Shrine discussing official business, in that affectionate couple small piece of land surrounded by water cloth-wrapped stall, has strolled thirty rooms, Li Huai of peer only selected one to admire the thing, was a bonsai, the stone of fist size, seal cutting „mountain immortal” two characters, can certainly regard as „celestial mountain”, the mountain root place occupied has a tiny old willow tree, under the tree is standing the Visualizing Sea Boundary old tree essence, old man appearance, only then three cuns (2.5 cm) high, old, the temperament was bigger, said that was city south old Heavenly Monarch, the body seemed some Immortal to ban together, suppressed realm. The old men are seeing a guest, as long as there is an intention of purchase, starts the fork waist to curse at people, the saliva scattered, urges their daytime Ascension. 之前陈平安参与中土文庙议事途中,在那鸳鸯渚包袱斋内,逛过三十几间屋子,同行的李槐只挑中了一件心仪物件,算是个盆景,拳头大小的石头,篆刻“山仙”二字,当然也可以视为“仙山”,山根处盘踞有一株袖珍的老柳树,树下站着个观海境的老树精,老翁模样,只有三寸高,年纪大,脾气更大,自称是城南老天君,身上好像有一道仙家禁制,压制了境界。老翁见着个客人,但凡有购买的意向,就开始叉腰骂人,唾沫四溅,劝他们白日飞升得了。 Afterward listened to Li Huai saying that this old tree essence, said oneself had seen Sword Immortal of Dao Title Chunyang long ago, is a gate Sword Immortal lineage/vein person of high skill, has consulted the sword technique with him modestly, the aptitude was good, in a few words, one after another broken boundary. 后来听李槐说,这个老树精,说自己早年见过一位道号“纯阳”的剑仙,是道门剑仙一脉的高人,与他虚心请教过剑术,资质不错,三言两语,就接连破境了。 This kind of spoken language, the words listen to half to become. Sure enough, the old tree essence really has a reason with the Master Lu of this Dao Title Chunyang. 这类言语,话听一半就成。果不其然,老树精确实与这位道号“纯阳”的吕祖有一份道缘。 Chen Ping'an asked again: „Old seniors and that cloth-wrapped stall?” 陈平安再问道:“老前辈与那包袱斋？” Old Daoist laughs saying: „Good vision, poor daoist and that cloth-wrapped stall old ancestor may be old friends.” 老道士大笑道:“好眼光,贫道与那包袱斋老祖可算旧友。” That scholar wakes blurry, just now after having the fond dream of enjoying utmost world glory, splendor, riches and honor, at this moment looks in all directions at a loss, sees that old Daoist to sit in the body side as before, but the hotel master steams the millet is still immature, but compared with just now, were many azure garments man and accompanies. 那个书生迷迷糊糊醒过来,方才做了个享尽人间荣华富贵的美梦之后,此刻茫然四顾,见那老道士依旧坐在身侧,而旅舍主人蒸黍依旧未熟,不过比起方才,多了个青衫男子和一位随从。 scholar disappointed and frustrated for a long time, sighed to sigh one finally, bowed to do obeisance with old Daoist, after expression of gratitude, admitted already to know the life honor or disgrace, the male and female love and life and death principle. 书生怅然许久,最终喟叹一声,与老道士稽首而拜,道谢过后,自言已经知晓人生荣辱、男女情爱、生死之理。 When scholar must depart, Chen Ping'an actually wields the sleeve quietly, the fog ascends, suddenly before hotel, in the open area, are many a scholartree, the branches and leaves is dense, clear shade several mu. 在书生就要离去之时,陈平安却悄然一挥袖子,云雾升腾,蓦然间旅舍之前空地上,便多出一棵古槐,枝叶繁密,清荫数亩。 scholar is dazed, as if places oneself in the dream as before, looks at the close by again, already does not see old Daoist and form of azure garments guest, sees only in the Dahuaishu hole, drives out of a vegetable oil car, harnesses by four high steeds, has the purple clothes envoy, grasps the jade tablet held by officials during imperial audience, worships on bended knees scholar, says from the neighboring country, Your Majesty Emperor admires the talent...... scholar to have a heart movement, was only somewhat was still surprised uncertain, the vegetable oil car hung with the bamboo curtain curtain, after the curtain, had the beautiful woman form vaguely, pulled a curtain screen foot by the slender white hands, the female peony, she and scholar feature...... scholar the mind dragged lovingly immediately, when was indecisive, the beautiful woman look hidden bitterness, bit lightly. The lip, the purple clothes waiter cannot kiss the ground, sincere in words, scholar steps to forward finally, mounts the emperor...... 书生昏昏然,仿佛依旧置身梦中,再看旁处,已经不见老道士和青衫客的身影,只见大槐树孔洞中,驶出一辆青油小车,驾以四匹高头骏马,有紫衣使者,手持玉笏,跪拜书生,自称来自邻国,皇帝陛下仰慕才华……书生有所心动,只是尚有几分惊疑不定,青油小车垂以竹帘帷幕,帘后依稀有丽人身影,以纤纤玉手掣起帘子一脚,女子国色天香,她与书生眉目含情……书生顿时心神摇曳,犹豫不决之际,丽人眼神幽怨,轻咬嘴唇,紫衣侍者伏地不起,言辞恳切,书生终于移步向前,登上车驾…… In a flash, what vegetable oil car, the purple clothes waiter, with it national beauty beautiful woman hand in hand, what Dahuaishu, all changes to the smog to diverge. 转瞬之间,什么青油小车,紫衣侍者,与之携手的国色丽人,什么大槐树,皆化作烟雾散去。 scholar falls falls on the place, is rubbing the buttocks, hurts. 书生摔落在地,揉着屁股,疼疼疼。 Right now finally determines was not has a dream. 这下子终于确定不是什么做梦了。 Old Daoist claps hands to laugh suddenly, „wonderful.” 老道士蓦然抚掌大笑,“妙哉。” Meanwhile, Chen Ping'an and young Mo also replaced a scenery picture scroll, is only in the Chen Ping'an heart lake, there is that old Daoist aspiration ripples to resound, said that yellow beam/sorghum Guomou place, leaves leeway a sword secret art. 与此同时,陈平安和小陌也更换了一幅山水画卷,只是陈平安心湖之中,有那老道士的心声涟漪响起,说黄粱国某地,留有一部剑诀。 Chen Ping'an and young Mo arrive at the boundary that steam ascended, is having the drought, connects does not have the rain in March/three months, the river dries up the lake to do, has no harvest at all, the place of thousand li (500 km), vegetation all completely. 陈平安和小陌来到了一处热气升腾的地界,正在闹旱灾,接连三月无雨,河涸湖干,颗粒无收,千里之地,草木皆尽。 Chen Ping'an displayed the water law of lowering the timely rain, but after offering a sacrifice to magecraft, will return same place, but wants the governing wind the line, the same time flows backwards, has to lead young Mo above the land on foot, the great drought season, the grain not receives, the property of the common people class/flow moves, above, is skeleton-packed, eyeful is the tragic sight world pitiful condition, previously met one group to be going to fall dead the women and children old and young on the way, the Chen Ping'an squatting lower part of the body, gives them the liquor water to eat, only will actually have slid the throat belly and intestines, falls down straightly. 陈平安施展了一道降下甘霖的水法,只是祭出术法之后,就会重返原地,而想要御风而行,就一样光阴倒流,只好带着小陌在大地之上徒步,大旱时节,五谷无收,民物流迁,一路之上,白骨累累,满眼都是惨不忍睹的人间惨状,先前遇到一拨将要倒毙途中的妇孺老幼,陈平安蹲下身,给予他们酒水吃食,却只会滑过喉咙肚肠,笔直坠地。 Chen Ping'an squatted at that time in same place, for a very long time has not set out. 陈平安当时蹲在原地,久久没有起身。 Young Mo comforts saying: „Young Master, is false.” 小陌安慰道:“公子,都是假的。” Chen Ping'an nods, shakes the head, „once real.” 陈平安点点头,又摇摇头,“曾经都是真的。” After setting out to hurry along, young Mo looked at the Young Master complexion, is not unusual. 重新起身赶路后,小陌看了眼公子的脸色,并无异样。 Later meets county town, in the city previously some people opened the warehouse to relief disaster, set up porridge house already long time, finally heard the news to catch up with the roving bandit who by one group, to/clashes. 之后遇到一处县城,城内先前有人开仓赈灾,设立粥铺已经多日,结果被一伙闻讯赶来的流寇,一冲而过。 When wait until Chen Ping'an enters the city, already is the human purgatory is ordinary. 等到陈平安入城之时,已经是人间炼狱一般。 In family gateway that whole families all die, there is to pour youngster in pool of blood, the whole face tears, turns the head difficultly, looks to one by old man that the chaotic blade hacks to death. 那个满门皆死的家族门户内,有个倒在血泊中的年轻人,满脸泪水,艰难转头,望向一个被乱刀砍死的老人。 youngster and father said repeatedly, since old times reliefed disaster to need army guard Wu, why does not listen, why does not listen...... 年轻人与父亲反复说道,自古赈灾都需军伍护卫,为何不听,为何不听…… Chen Ping'an sits on everywhere the garden stair of blood and corpse, stands up, arrives at side that young scholar, wants to hold on his hand gently, is actually the remnant shadow, however hand of Chen Ping'an as before hovering in same place, said in a soft voice: „Do not fear, to your good people, passes through this world, had passed through the hell.” 陈平安坐在满地鲜血和尸体的庭院台阶上,站起身,来到那个年轻读书人身边,想要轻轻拉住他的手,却是残影,但是陈平安的手依旧悬停在原地,轻声道:“不要怕,对你们这些好人来说,走过这一遭人间,就已是走过了地狱。” Later goes out of county town, arrives at outside state suburbs with young Mo, a dry river course bank, has the lip split official to pray for rain, in the city is actually doing folk custom that exposes to the sun Dragon King. 之后走出县城,与小陌来到一处州城郊外,一条干涸河道畔,有嘴唇干裂的官员正在祈雨,城内却在做着晒龙王的民间风俗。 Chen Ping'an squats in the river opposite shore, puts out a hand to grasp one handful of broken earth, is listening to that official voice hoarse praying for rain content, read off, starts from the beginning, after Chen Ping'an sets out, one step shrinks, arrives at the river opposite shore, stands by the incense table, takes out the written records, helped write a praying for rain article, after giving that emaciated official, the latter held the mentality of refusing to abandon hope, the preparation is starting to recite this in the praying for rain article that the rituals of state did not gather, but just read a opening, the official on the look in a panic, turned the head to look to that azure garments man, probably inquired by the look .? Won't really provoke more disasters? 陈平安蹲在河对岸,伸手抓起一捧碎土,听着那个官员嗓音沙哑的祈雨内容,读完了一遍,又从头开始,陈平安起身后,一步缩地,来到河对岸,站在香案旁,取出纸笔,帮忙重新写了一道祈雨文,交给那个面黄肌瘦的官员后,后者抱着死马当活马医的心态,准备开始背诵这篇于礼制不合的祈雨文,只是刚念了一个开头,官员就神色仓皇,转头望向那个青衫男子,好像以眼神询问,真的可以吗？真的不会招惹更多灾殃吗？ Because the praying for rain writing content on that paper, really extremely lese majeste. 因为那张纸上的祈雨文字内容,实在太过大不敬了。 Generally speaking, this kind of praying for rain book, has the standard standard of similar government, mixes with some respectful spoken languages, similar „in reverential awe”, „wants to send book rain master by me” introduction, writes some again „spring rain such as En imperial edict, the summer rain such as amnesty book” words. 一般来说,这类祈雨书,都有个类似官场的制式规范,夹杂一些恭敬言语,类似“诚惶诚恐”,以“吾欲致书雨师”开篇,再写一些“春雨如恩诏,夏雨如赦书”的话语。 But in the hand holds the praying for rain article, the introduction is „rain teaching style uncle, thunder Monarch goddess of lightning, listens to my imperial order, disobeying orders cuts.” 而手中捧着的这封祈雨文,开篇就是“雨师风伯,雷君电母,听我敕令,违令者斩。” Therefore when this official endorses, is the voice trembles, was too long not hearty potable water one time, otherwise is it is estimated that streaming with sweat, wait until read off the praying for rain article of that treason and heresy, the official feels relieved, all of a sudden weak in place. 所以这个官员背书之时,都是嗓音打颤的,也就是太久不曾酣畅饮水一次了,不然估计早就汗流浃背了,等到读完那篇大逆不道的祈雨文,官员如释重负,一下子瘫软在地。 A moment later, is cloudy, the thunderclap is billowing, the lightning is thunderous, shortly will then be the heavy downpour, the place of thousand li (500 km), will fall all over the area the sweet dew. 片刻之后,乌云密布,雷声滚滚,闪电雷鸣,顷刻间便是大雨滂沱,千里之地,普降甘露。 Young Mo raises head said in a soft voice: „Young Master, in county town, almost without bearing handed over the sword, hacked to death it to keep a promise, cannot be used, by its continuously intentionally disgusting Young Master.” 小陌仰头轻声道:“公子,之前在县城,差点没忍住就递剑了,砍死它算数,就不能惯着,由着它一直故意恶心公子。” Chen Ping'an puts out a hand then the raindrop of soybean size, „actually has no relations with your fellow daoist.” 陈平安伸手接着黄豆大小的雨滴,“跟你的那位道友其实没什么关系。” Young Mo said with a smile: „To be honest, if puts ten thousand years ago, young Mo sees this kind of scene, does not only have the slightly billows understandingly, even if makes young Mo stare the big eye, staring, is looking at several days of time, as before is aloof. Now was different, perhaps followed to be long side Young Master, was influenced by what one sees and hears, a little became the feelings to be soft. Young Master, is this difference of person of and cultivating Dao cultivating true virtue?” 小陌笑道:“说实话,要是搁在万年之前,小陌看到这类场景,只会心无微澜,就算让小陌瞪大眼睛,一直盯着,看个几天功夫,依旧是无动于衷。如今不一样了,兴许是跟在公子身边久了,耳濡目染的,就变得有点心肠软了。公子,这算不算修真之士与修道之人的区别？” Chen Ping'an said with a smile: „Turns into now daoist from antiquity Daoist, actually all was not the good deed, only said that cultivated speed incident, was definitely slow.” 陈平安笑道:“从上古道士变成如今道人,其实也不全是好事,只说修行速度一事,肯定就要慢了。” Later Chen Ping'an and young Mo arrive at a brand-new position, place of county, the year waterlogging, occupies sinks in water. 之后陈平安和小陌就来到一处崭新境地,一郡之地,岁大涝,居沉于水。 Originally in the county has rivers and streams, since old times was unceasing on the flood, Chen Ping'an discovered own unexpectedly change shape in a single shake, became a Sir Prefect of county benevolent official, the cold clan family background, fortunately, the youngster child prodigy, young on the title of the three highest scorers in the palace examinations, has not found a wife probably. 原来郡内有条江河,自古就水患不断,陈平安发现自己竟然摇身一变,成了一郡父母官的太守大人,寒族出身,还好,好像是位少年神童,年纪轻轻就进士及第了,尚未娶妻。 Because generally knows that „Heavens” the way, Chen Ping'an did not have the thought of displaying magecraft, started to solicit money with the prefectures and counties rich man, how as to regulate waterways specifically, Chen Ping'an had the methodicalness way, after all except for the building Buddhist ritual procedures that Zhu Lian compiled, many books of Nanyuan Country Ministry of public works, had once carefully looked, to Imperial Court, when the water conservancy project had more than enough to spare, Chen Ping'an leads young Mo and a petty official, after having conducted an inquest the river bed geography beyond city, discovered that only need build a fish mouth to divide the water bank then, needs the bamboo cage to install the stone, tired, but backwater , opened the even water trough and Yihongdao., River bed bottom curve, is somewhat tasteful, is in these ancient books the way knowledge of detailed record, Chen Ping'an copies to bring to use. 因为大致知道了那位“老天爷”的路数,陈平安也就没了施展术法的念头,开始与郡县有钱人化缘去了,至于具体如何治水,陈平安是有章法路数的,毕竟除了朱敛编撰的营造法式,还有南苑国工部的诸多书籍,都曾仔细看过,给朝廷当个水工绰绰有余,陈平安带着小陌和一众胥吏,勘验过城外的河床地理后,发现只需打造出一座鱼嘴分水堤即可,需要竹笼装石,累而壅水,之后开辟平水槽和溢洪道,河床底部的弧度,也有些讲究,都是那些古书上详细记载的门道学问,陈平安只是照搬拿来用而已。 Later making the rounds visiting, sought the wealth with the local rich person, saw some wealthy and prominent family interesting rumor and town hundred condition, had once to pound on the table face to face, said that „we read the person of saints and sages book, all in the three cardinal guides and five constant virtues worked” the rich man, finally is only actually willing to put out 52 money, at the beginning of the year ran a young pig from own pigsty to the neighbor, felt auspicious, does not press the market price to sell to the neighbor, the wait until end of the year grew into more than 100 jin (0.5 kg) big pigs, ran up to the home, result wealthy man can only as before according to the beginning of the year „market price” to money, therefore filed a lawsuit, Made that side the county administration, Chen Ping'an this Sir County Protector, then found the opportunity to operate with this matter, sends a punitive expedition, makes a fuss over a trifling matter, this let that in the great talent master who in the three cardinal guides and five constant virtues worked, at the same night visited, took 120 money. 之后的走门串户,与当地富人求财,也见到了些高门趣闻和市井百态,有个曾经当面拍桌子,说一句“我们念圣贤书的人,全在纲常上做功夫”的有钱人,最后却只肯拿出五十两银子,年初从自家猪圈跑出一头小猪到邻居去,觉得不吉利,就按市价卖给了邻居,等到年尾长成一百多斤的大猪,又跑到了家里,结果这位富家翁依旧只能按照年初的“市价”给钱,于是就打了一场官司,闹到了县衙那边,陈平安这位郡守大人,便找机会拿此事开刀,兴师问罪,小题大做一番,这才让那位在纲常上做功夫的茂才老爷,连夜登门,多拿了一百两银子。 The greatest gateway in county city, the position draws back from the Capital City Ministry of Rites, childless, only then the daughter, declared to the outside his daughter, many everyone the article, the experience branch anthology of outstanding imperial civil service examination papers, saves the grandmaster examination paper respectively, several thousand, if son, dozens foremost people in the field and successful candidates early. 郡城里的最大门户,还是位从京城礼部退下来的,膝下无子,只有个女儿,对外宣称他的这个女儿,诸多大家之文,历科程墨,各省宗师考卷,记了几千篇,若是个儿子,几十个状元、进士早早都中了。 Chen Ping'an visits on own initiative with it compares notes the Neo-Confucianism the time, old man has been several examining test papers officers, even if said a word with Sir County Protector, the by Government elders posed as, said with certainty, said that imperial civil service examination system skill article could complete, made any thing as you like, was a whip streak, slapped a palm blood. But if the imperial civil service examination article did badly, lacked the crucial moment to be inattentive, no matter what you made anything to come, was the unorthodox zen and demon outlet...... hears Chen Ping'an this pure running water proper way family background young Prefect, must make an effort to nod, echoed again and again, otherwise deceived does not bring in money. old man then spoke of the sad place, that son-in-law in marrying into the wife's household mansion, is properly matched, has the talent, is not willing to lift industry, the young County Protector then good words comfort, only need raise a son to come, to teach him early to study, next year met oneself grandfather's successful candidate burning incense, there is what difficulty, end is categorical, said „then, young lady that to seal/confer Gao is extremely safe”, said old man to be ecstatic, one happy, then gave 3200 money. 陈平安主动登门与之切磋道学的时候,老人当过几任阅卷官,哪怕与郡守大人言语,还是以官场长辈自居,言之凿凿,说那科举制艺文章做得好,随你做甚么玩意,都是一鞭一条痕,一掴一掌血。可如果科举文章做得差了,缺火候欠讲究了,任你做出甚么来,都是野狐禅、邪魔外道……听得陈平安这个清流正途出身的年轻太守,只得使劲点头,连连附和,不然骗不来钱啊。老人便说到了伤心处,入赘府中的那个女婿,是门当户对的,也是有才情的,偏偏不肯举业,年轻郡守便好言安慰,只需早养出一个儿子来,教他读书,来年接了自家爷爷的进士香火,又有何难,末尾还斩钉截铁一句,说“如此一来,小姐那封诰还是极为稳当的”,说得老人心花怒放,一喜之下,便给了三千两银子。 County Protector as young Mo who accompanies, looks to listen in side, only thought that learned the worldly wisdom outside many books. 身为郡守随从的小陌,在旁看着听着,只觉得学到了很多书本外的人情世故。 Inside this world picture scroll, three colored characters, quick were returned to rise old man of Imperial Court center except for this by a Capital City paper transfer order, exhausted in an examination room many years of poor scholar, is poor, has in the father-in-law who inside county town suspends the prepared food case, last, that affluent, the beginning of the year runs away a young pig and end of the year to run back a big pig the great talent master. 这座天地画卷里边,有三个彩色人物,除了这位很快就被京城一纸调令返回朝廷中枢的高升老人,还有一个困顿于场屋多年的穷秀才,家境贫寒,有个在县城里边摆熟食案子的老丈人,最后一个,正是那个腰缠万贯、年初跑掉一头小猪、年尾跑回一头大猪的茂才老爷。 wait until that old man moved whole family Capital City, old man turned into the black and white color, but wait until Chen Ping'an completed that hydraulic engineering, in the district of jurisdiction did not have the sorrow of waterlogging again, obtained the praise of Imperial Court, actually discovery that great talent brother, with the poor scholar as before was colored, Chen Ping'an slightly did to consider, must do surveys in a quiet way, walked in the latter family/home, was seeing that the poor and pedantic man and wife said goodbye in the entrance, struck one's chest to guarantee that this provincial-level civil service examination, decided however is selected, the patient moon/month, you carried however are the juren wife. The women wipe tears, said with a smile that hopes Pok double neat, struggles some brilliance for the ancestor, has some appearances of poverty for the wife, when the time comes also did obeisance on pays respects heaven. 等到那个老人举家搬迁回京城,老人就变成了黑白颜色,但是等到陈平安完成了那项水利工程,辖境之内再无水涝之忧,都得到了朝廷的嘉奖,却发现那位茂才兄,和穷秀才依旧是彩色,陈平安略作思量一番,只得微服私访,走了趟后者家中,正看到穷酸男人与妻子在门口道别,拍胸脯保证此次乡试,定然中举,耐烦月余,你端然是举人娘子了。妇人擦拭眼泪,笑言一句,但愿文福双齐,替祖宗争些光辉,替娘子出些穷气,到时候也就拜天拜地了。 Finally Chen Ping'an this Sir County Protector, regulating waterways is just active, Imperial Court ordered to make an exception to be a state provincal educational officer, was this time metropolitan examination examiner, from falling the examination paper reassigned the examination site article of that poor scholar, its name circle picture, was promotes for the juren. From that moment on, change shape in a single shake becomes the juren master's scholar, then became the black and white color. As for that great talent brother, suffered a relapse, when suffocates, as before is colored, Chen Ping'an is puzzling, must sneak to Fang Family, discovered that manpower stretches out from the bed sheet, is extending two hand fingers, is not willing to swallow the final one breath. Chen Ping'an does not know whether to laugh or cry, must push the door to enter, on the table is the oil lamps of two stem lampwicks, selects a stem. The people look, the man on bed, this nods, dangles the hand, did not immediately have the air/Qi. 结果刚好陈平安这位郡守大人,治水有功,朝廷下令破格担任一州学政,担任本次的会试主考官,从落试卷中抽调出那位穷秀才的科场文章,将其名字圈画,算是擢升为举人了。从这一刻起,摇身一变成为举人老爷的读书人,便成了黑白颜色。至于那个茂才兄,犯病了,奄奄一息之际,依旧是彩色,陈平安百思不得其解,只得潜入对方家中,发现那人手从被单里伸出,伸着两根手指头,死活不肯咽下最后一口气。陈平安哭笑不得,只得推门而入,将桌上点得是两茎灯草的油灯,挑掉一茎。众人望去,床榻上的男人,这才点一点头,把手垂下,登时就没了气。 Young Mo slantingly by that side entrance, helpless shakes the head. 小陌斜靠在门口那边,无奈摇头。 wait until Chen Ping'an goes out of the room, the picture scroll changes, as if places oneself with young Mo in the battlefield edge boundary, two armies pitted against each other, is only away from a river, the car(riage) rides, character all ancient appearance, a side standing erect big large military banner in ancient times, submits a written statement to the justice and humanity two characters, another side soldiers and horses are powerful, that monarchy is laughing to say with military strategist, the enemy weapons have, the justice and humanity are insufficient, my weapons are insufficient, the justice and humanity have, decides however wins. 等到陈平安走出屋子,画卷一变,与小陌似乎置身于战场的边缘地界,两军对垒,只隔着一条河,车骑、人物皆古貌,一方竖立大纛,上书仁义二字,另外一方兵马强盛,那位君主正在与身边军师大笑道,敌兵甲有余,仁义不足,寡人兵甲不足,仁义有余,定然大胜。 The military strategists later looked that the opposite party is fording in the soldiers and horses, suggested partly to cross to strike with that amiable monarchy, cannot, both armies battle, burst to defeat greatly. 军师之后看对方正在兵马渡河,就与那位仁义君主建议半渡而击,不许,两军交战,大溃而败。 The Chen Ping'an cage sleeve onlooking, after twice picture scrolls have restored the original design, this goes to the army, arrives by that only colored character car(riage), the latter asked: „Was I wrong?” 陈平安一直笼袖旁观,两次画卷恢复原样之后,这才去往大军之中,来到那位唯一的彩色人物车旁,后者问道:“寡人错了吗？” The Chen Ping'an double handwarmer sleeve, keeps silent. 陈平安双手笼袖,默不作声。 „Did later generation history book, how say my?” “后世史书,是如何说寡人的？” Chen Ping'an or wordlessly. 陈平安还是一言不发。 „Did not say the history book, in the town work places, trivial official unofficial history?” “不说史书,市井坊间呢,稗官野史呢？” This monarchy fills with bitterly cold, is moved to tears, numerous racket car(riage) horizontal wooden board on the front carriage body, the grief and indignation wants to say certainly: „Can have word of praise?!” 这位君主满怀凄怆,热泪盈眶,重重一拍车轼,悲愤欲绝道:“总该有一句好话吧？！” Chen Ping'an has not given the answer as before directly, „to the matter, the good matter, the eye antecedent, the matter, a current event, does the eternity matter, confuse in together, how obtains clearly?” 陈平安依旧没有直接给出答案,“对的事,好的事,眼前事,身后事,一时事,千古事,混淆在一起,怎么分得清楚？” „Let alone you are not the person of cultivating Dao, seeks its politics in its position, must consider a safety of Country People. Fights the lord as the battlefield, must win at present this campaign.” “何况你又不是修道之人,在其位谋其政,总要照顾好一国子民的安危。身为沙场战主,总要赢下眼前这场战役。” This perishing country- Monarch shouted loudly several times „justice and humanity”, the figure dissipated unexpectedly. 这位亡国-之君高呼数次“仁义”,身形竟然就此消散。 Later Chen Ping'an and young Mo saw many grotesque and gaudy people and matters. 之后陈平安和小陌又见了不少光怪陆离的人与事。 The two people moonlit night swings a small boat, along with the water drifts about erratically, to an ancient bridge, sees little building like the picture, shuts the vertical water's edge bank, originally on enjoying oneself in seclusion, then the female indistinct figure, in winding corridor bent/tune Kanjian, paces back and forth to hesitate obviously, sentimental, throws money toward the water. 两人月夜荡一叶扁舟,随水飘泊不定,至一古桥内,见小楼如画,闭立水涯畔,原来每逢清风明月,便可见女子缥缈身形,于回廊曲槛间,徘徊徙倚,缠绵悱恻,往水中丢掷金钱。 Again in the future, is away from remote of thousand li (500 km), Chen Ping'an sees figure colored elegant Young Master finally, in that town bustling streets, making the retinue kneel sits his back, assigns/life book child Chuidi, assigns/life the crotch servant to make flying of luan crane, servant getting up is slightly slow, Young Master disappointed and frustrated, chokes with sobs, admits me not to Heavenly Immortal, treats as the narcissus to see the beautiful woman. Then sets out to dash about wildly, leaps forward nearby pond, was roughly jumps into deep water to commit suicide, but quick was fished continuously the drenched chicken by the servant. 再往后,隔着千里之遥,陈平安终于又看到一位身形彩色的风雅公子,在那市井闹市中,让仆从跪地而坐其背,命书童吹笛,命胯下仆役作鸾鹤之飞,仆役起之稍慢,公子怅然,泣不成声,自言吾不得天仙矣,当作水仙去见佳人。遂起身狂奔,跃入旁边一处池塘,约莫算是投水自尽去了,只是很快就被仆人捞起一直落汤鸡。 Chen Ping'an then makes young Mo do for somebody , helping transmit the correspondence, such talented men and beautiful women, even if the sentiment sincere is real, Chen Ping'an actually still lazy appropriate that being a go-between favorite. 陈平安便让小陌代劳,帮忙传递书信,这样的才子佳人,即便感情诚挚是真,陈平安却也懒得当那牵线红人。 Later arrives at a halfway up the mountainside, has a senior monk to lead a young buddhist priest to descend the mountain, the meeting on the way female, the senior monk only said is the tiger under mountain can eat the person, is unapproachable, must give way to traffic. 之后来到一处半山腰,有个老和尚带着一位小沙弥下山,路遇女子,老和尚只说是山下的老虎能吃人,不可亲近,必须避让。 When returns to the mountain, the young buddhist priest look blushes however, touched own that slightly bald, said with the master, all thing I do not think, only thinks under the mountain that eats the tiger of person, on the heart the total sleep/felt abandons him not to. 返回山中时,小沙弥神色赧然,摸了摸自己的那颗小光头,与师父说了一句,一切物我都不想,只想山下那吃人的老虎,心上总觉舍他不得。 Chen Ping'an bears smile. 陈平安忍住笑。 Later returns to the mountain the ruined temple, cold weather, the senior monk chops to cut the wooden embryo image of Buddha unexpectedly is the firewood, starts to make a fire to keep warm directly, turns the head to look to azure garments scholar that staying overnight in somebody's home temple that goes to the capital to take the civil service exam. 之后返回山中破败寺庙,天寒地冻时分,老和尚竟然劈砍木胎佛像为柴,直接开始生火取暖,转头望向借宿寺庙那位进京赶考的青衫书生。 Chen Ping'an shakes the head saying that the monk you do, I cannot do. 陈平安摇头道和尚你做得,我做不得。 The senior monk asked how to do seriously, always worships Buddha is not pays respects self. 老和尚就问怎就做不得了,从来拜佛不是拜己吗。 Chen Ping'an is entirely still. 陈平安只是纹丝不动。 Therefore under this master and disciple the mountain top mountain and senior monk return to the temple to divide the picture scroll of image of Buddha firewood, such continuously circulation relapse. 于是这副师徒下山上山、老和尚返回寺庙劈佛像烧柴的画卷,就这么一直循环反复。 Finally was young Mo was unable to continue watching, could not bear said one with that senior monk. 最后是小陌看不下去了,忍不住与那老和尚说了一句。 The senior monk then sets out to smile, lowers the head with young Mo, both hands palms together in greeting. 老和尚这才起身而笑,与小陌低头,双手合十。 After the rain, with an elderly woman, the clothes ragged and cross steed, the saddle bridle is gorgeous, seems somewhat nondescript. 雨后道遇一老媪,衣褴褛而跨骏马,鞍辔华美,显得有些不伦不类。 The elderly woman look is kind, without delay stops the horse, warm voice asks: „Young Master whither?” 老媪神色和蔼,赶紧停下马,温声问道:“公子何往？” Chen Ping'an said that visits relatives toward the suburb, the elderly woman said: „Journey accumulates liao, and multi- tiger trouble, might as well go to my humble home to do to rest along with me temporarily, next day will be early good, calmly.” 陈平安说是往郊外探亲去,老媪说道:“路途积潦,且多虎患,不如随我去寒舍暂作休歇,翌日早行,得从容也。” Chen Ping'an then 陈平安便 Bows in salute the acknowledgment. 作揖致谢。 The old women progress to go slowly, are leading two people along a secluded trail, the line approximately 34 li (0.5 km), see in the forests faintly the light, the old woman by the whip direction light, says with a smile. 老妇人策马缓行,领着两人沿着一条僻静小径,行出约三四里,隐隐见林间灯光,老妇人以鞭指向灯光,笑言至矣。 In room utterly destitute, except for plank bed and table, only then on the wall hung a lantern, has the woman to raise the head slowly, plunders the temple, the facial features are dreary, later the thing of old woman entertaining a guest, is quite sumptuous, is the fish, is only with basin generation of pots, needing Chen Ping'an and young Mo folds the branch is the chopsticks, is only the fish and rice is all cold, common person being hard deglutition, but to Chen Ping'an, is not anything. After the food, Chen Ping'an sits at the table, the soil ground is rugged, the table is just now crooked, Chen Ping'an goes to outside the room in the forest, the firewood makes the log, fronted the table foot, old woman said thanked, the woman seized the louse on the lamp, Chen Ping'an does not query the distressed person family/home, why the food received cordially such hold, but pulled out the tobacco smoked dry pole, started to smoke like a chimney. The women fixed one's gaze on several times look like, wants the language also to rest. 屋内可谓家徒四壁,除了木板床和桌子,只有墙上挂了盏灯笼,有妇人缓缓抬头,掠鬓,面容惨淡,之后老妇人待客之物,却颇为丰盛,皆是鱼肉,只是以盆代壶,需要陈平安和小陌折树枝为筷子,只是鱼肉和米饭皆冷,寻常人难以下咽,不过对陈平安来说,不算什么。饭后陈平安坐在桌旁,泥土地面崎岖不平,方才桌子就歪歪斜斜,陈平安就去屋外林中,劈柴作木块,垫桌脚,老妪道了一声谢,妇人则就灯捉虱,陈平安也不问清苦人家,为何菜肴款待如此之盛,只是掏出旱烟杆,开始吞云吐雾。妇人数次凝眸看来,欲语还休。 Chen Ping'an asked: „May I ask the senior wet nurse, what season was the present?” 陈平安问道:“敢问老嬷嬷,如今是什么时节了？” old woman smiles to reply: „Festival of the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month just crossed, the previous meal, the host family delivers.” 老妪笑答道:“中元节刚过,先前饭菜,正是主人家送的。” Chen Ping'an nods suddenly, sets out to say goodbye, because on a room, stays overnight in somebody's home inconveniently, but on the mouth only said that hurries along to worry. old woman cannot detain, must say: „Young Master along the previous path line beyond more than 50 li (0.5 km), there is a relay station, my husband in that side manservant, lames humpbacked, is very good to recognize, requesting earnestly Young Master to be tired to send the sound, urged that he delivered some copper coin to come back anxiously, only said in the family/home the food and clothing completely.” 陈平安恍然点头,起身告辞,因为就一间屋子,借宿不便,不过嘴上只说赶路着急。老妪挽留不住,只得说道:“公子沿着先前道路行出五十余里外,有驿站,我那夫君就在那边当差,驼背跛脚,很好认的,恳请公子烦为致声,催促他急送些铜钱回来,只说家中衣食都尽矣。” Chen Ping'an leads young Mo to leave in the forest the house, if as expected, dawn, looks at this place again, mostly is but sees the ancient tomb to be dejected, partly leaned in the crowndaisy chrysanthemum thorn. 陈平安带着小陌离开林中屋舍,如果不出意外,天亮时分,再看此地,多半就是但见古冢颓然,半倾于蓬蒿荆棘中了。
