„Under water does does not have any heavy item drag to entrain?” Sinks down slightly hesitates, asks. “水底没有什么重物拖拽吗？”沈落略一沉吟,问道。 „Does not have the heavy item to tow to entrain, does not have the water plant hindrance, anything does not have. Also because is somewhat unusual, in addition in the city was not peaceful recently, therefore has all kinds of baseless rumors to spread, now the water heated room is regarded the haunted house quickly, the business also suffers a disastrous decline.” white Xiaotian shakes the head to say. “既无重物拖拽,也无水草挂碍,什么都没有。也正是因为有些不同寻常,加之城里最近又不太平,于是就有各种各样的风言风语传出,现在水暖阁都快被当成鬼屋了,生意也是一落千丈。”白霄天摇头道。 From initially, the Bai person actually pays attention are not many, after all this Qinhuai river bank is the place is apt to get into trouble, every year loses footing to fall in the water, the alcoholic intoxication falls into the river, jumps into deep water frustrated, the unhappy couple commits suicide together in the name of love, must have 10-20 people. 自初起之时,白家人其实对此关注并不多,毕竟这秦淮河畔本就为是非之地,每年失足落水的,醉酒坠河的,失意投水的,怨偶殉情的,怎么也得有个10-20人。 Even the matter left in oneself, was often colored money to arrange the government authorities, sent a guest official taoist priest to go to make a Buddhist ceremony again, no matter there is evil spirits, so long as set the appearance, let the guests and common people saw, this matter was not difficult to press. 即便事情出在了自家,往往花些银子打点一下官府,再派遣一名客卿道士前去做场法事,不管有没有邪祟,只要做出样子,让客人和百姓看到,这事情就不难压下来。 May look like this time so under stuffed dumpling, drowns one after another, really some pressures, in the work places pass on now again, said that was in the water heated room hides the ghosts and demons, that three people died wrong, corpse by complaint solid, will float not to walk. 可像此番这般下饺子似的,一个接一个溺毙,就实在有些压不下去了,坊间现在都再传,说是水暖阁里藏了鬼魅,那三人死得冤屈,尸体被怨念所固,才会浮而不走。 „I am also planning to go out, then has a look with you.” Sinks down says. “我也正打算出去一趟,便和你一起去看看吧。”沈落开口说道。 „So happen.” white Xiao deva-eye pupil slightly bright, on the face finally were many a happy expression. “如此正好。”白霄天眼眸微亮,脸上总算多了一丝笑意。 Two people just went out of the door, outside listens to hear rapid sound of footsteps, sees green sleeve girl, ran hurriedly, the mouth is shouting repeatedly 两人刚走出房门,就听外面传来一阵急促脚步声,紧接着就看到绿袖这丫头,风风火火地跑了进来,嘴里连声喊着 „...... It is not good, few lords, are not good......” “不……不好了,少主,不好了……” Sinks down with white Xiaotian hears word, looked at each other one mutually, on the face flashed through haze. 沈落与白霄天闻言,互相对视了一眼,脸上都闪过一丝阴霾。 „What's the matter, your slow point said.” white Xiaotian the sinking sound asked. “怎么回事,你慢点说。”白霄天沉声问道。 „The high storekeeper in city west origination silk fabrics shop, looked for the water heated room to look for the water kite miss of being intimate last night, finally in the morning gives the person to discover that floated in the river, was even the same as front that three place.” Green sleeve complexion slightly white, is breathing heavily the gas channel/angrily said. “城西发祥绸缎铺的高掌柜,昨夜去找了水暖阁找了相好的水鸢姑娘,结果早上就给人发现漂在了河里,跟前面那三个连地方都一样。”绿袖脸色微白,喘着气道。 white Xiaotian sighed one secretly, saying a word walked in the front courtyard front door direction, sinks down touches the nose, with. 白霄天暗叹一声,一言不发的往前院大门方向走去,沈落摸了摸鼻子,跟了上去。 „Few lords, the car(riage) have arranged, waits...... green sleeve to be busy at pursuing several steps in out of the door”, the standing on tiptoes foot shouts. “少主,车已经备好了,在门外候着……”绿袖忙追出来几步,踮脚喊道。 ...... …… The speed of carriage in the city was limited, spent the less than half quarter, before arriving at the water heated room . 马车在城中速度有限,花了小半刻钟,才来到水暖阁前。 Sinks down from the carriage, raises head looked, before the body, is standing and waiting for a long time impressively a 34 zhang (3.33 m) high bright red gate tower, above magnificently decorated building, is describing hundred birds struggles spring and other riches and honor prospects toward the phoenixes and hundred flowers. 沈落从马车上下来,仰头一看,身前赫然伫立着一座三四丈高的朱红门楼,上面雕梁画栋,描绘着百鸟朝凤和百花争春等富贵图景。 Goes from the entry, but beyond several, is a three high grand pavilion, in each garrets has the colored glaze tile to make to select the keel upturned eave, below is hanging bright red lantern, the color bright desire is an. 从门洞进去,不过数步外,便是一座三层高的宏伟楼阁,每一层阁楼间都有琉璃瓦片做出挑脊飞檐,下面悬挂着一只只朱红灯笼,颜色鲜艳欲滴。 In the garret, is a golden hall, the midpoint leaves backs on a giant screen of 12 booklet, cultivates one to develop the stage with the white jade railing, about has a wooden ladder respectively to two buildings. 阁楼之内,是一座金色大厅,正中央出背靠一副十二折的巨大屏风,以白玉围栏修着一座演舞台,左右各有一架木梯通往二楼。 Usually in the guest resembles cloud to come, the extremely busy water heated room, today is actually lonely, even the person's shadow cannot find several, only then a middle-aged female who wears the purple brocade, is reproving several janitors in a low voice, making them not probably talk too much, said the matter of water heated room with the bystander. 平日里客似云来,热闹非凡的水暖阁,今日却是冷冷清清,连人影都瞧不见几个,只有一名身着紫色锦缎的中年女子,正在低声训斥几个杂役,令他们不得多嘴,与外人说道水暖阁的事情。 Saw with own eyes that white Xiaotian come , the female collects the anxious look immediately, welcomed, raises slightly to them. 眼见白霄天两人进来,那女子立马敛去愁容,迎了上来,冲着他们欠了欠身。 Sinks down sizes up slightly, seeing its looks is good, the figure is exquisite, the corner of the eye place actually may reduce the thin lines that the powder cannot keep, looks at the time deportment manner again, apparent it should be here female servant. 沈落稍一打量,见其姿容上佳,身段玲珑,眼角处却可减脂粉也藏不住的细纹,再一看期仪态举止,便知其应该是此处的老妈子。 „Eldest son, you may be come.” The middle-aged female found the pillar, is saying, while tears off the waist handkerchief to scratch the corner of the eye. “大公子,您可算是来了。”中年女子找到了主心骨,一边说着,一边扯下腰间手绢擦着眼角。 „Ms. Feng, corpse there?” white Xiaotian asked directly. “冯妈,尸首在那里？”白霄天直接问道。 „In the backyard water shore, has not let bring in the room, the government authorities medical examiner has inspected had left, this little while clear water Daoist priest that side.” Ms. Feng does not dare to talk too much, Jane/simple word said. “在后院水岸,没让抬进屋,官府仵作已经查验过离开了,这会儿白水道长正在那边。”冯妈不敢多言,简言说道。 white Xiaotian does not utter a word, lifts the step after the screen walks. 白霄天一声不吭,抬步往屏风后走去。 Sinks down then also follows to bypass the screen, walked from the following arch door. 沈落便也跟着绕过屏风,从后面一座券门走了出去。 The water heated room is near the Qinhuai River to construct, the backyard is a small-scale pillow water wharf, in those days in also had the pleasure boat to anchor, carries the clear tube female family members going boating river bank for the graciousness guest. 水暖阁临着秦淮河而建,后院便是一座小型的枕水码头,往日里也有花船停泊,供恩客携清琯女眷泛舟河上。 But at present, riverside only one obese male corpse who wears the supernumerary official clothing, calmly lies down in the shadow of garret, in side also stands cheekbone tall protrude, the cheeks has slightly falls, wears the thin old man of grayish white Daoist robe. 而眼下,河边就只一具身着员外服饰的肥胖男子尸身,静静躺在阁楼的阴影中,旁边还站着一名颧骨高凸,脸颊稍有内陷,身着灰白道袍的削瘦老者。 From the river surface of here not far away on, is stretching across three stone arch bridges, under the bridge deck center-section guard rail, is engraving the Zhenhuaiqiao three large characters. 距离这边不远处的河面上,横跨着一座三孔石拱桥,桥身中段的护栏下,镌刻着“镇淮桥”三个大字。 One side of the bridge head is standing and waiting for a long time a town/subdues river water beast of taking the form of alone corner/horn rhinocero, under inlays stone Zuo, whole one person comes high, after the years baptism, under lives the full moss, everywhere is the motley trace. 桥头一侧伫立着的一座形似独角犀牛的镇河水兽,底下嵌有石座,整体不过一人来高,历经岁月洗礼,底下生满青苔,到处都是斑驳痕迹。 Gathers round the marine animals, on the entire bridge, stood in many cities the common people, on faces is hanging both curious and frightened, namely the dislike also somewhat is inexplicable the exciting facial expression, to here is directing, talks in whispers. 围着水兽,连带整座桥上,都站了不少城中百姓,一个个脸上挂着既好奇又恐惧,即厌恶又有些莫名兴奋的神情,对着这边指指点点,窃窃私语。 Sank down took a look at a that male corpse, seeing its whole body has soaked the swollen to be unusual, the revealed skin presented a pale color, although the loathsome appearance looks quite tranquilly, but he always thought that his body is passing the share evil aura. 沈落打量了一下那男子尸身,见其浑身早已泡得浮肿异常,露出的皮肤呈现出一种青白之色,死相虽看着颇为平静,可他总觉得其身上透着股子邪气。 „Has seen the honorable person.” white Xiaotian arrives at the near, to that thin always said that respectful good a ritual. “见过真人。”白霄天走到近前,向那削瘦老道,恭敬行了一礼。 Sank down then also held holding the fist in the other hand. 沈落便也抱了抱拳。 „Eldest son you came.” The old brow twisted the lump, to two people also a ritual. “大公子你来了。”老道眉头拧成了疙瘩,冲着两人还了一礼。 „Now situation how?” white Xiaotian asked. “如今情况如何？”白霄天问道。 „Just like the front several people, after the medical examiner has looked, said that drowns, this poor Daoist cannot find out why not proper.” The clear water say/way sighed deeply, said. “跟前面几人一样,仵作看过之后说都是溺毙,贫道也查不出有何不妥。”白水道长叹了一声,说道。 „Honorable person may know, when dies probably?” white Xiaotian asked. “真人可知,大概是何时死的？”白霄天问道。 „Probably was last night 11 p.m. to 1 a.m to the ugly time...... embarrassed saying that this poor Daoist has guarded actually in the pavilion, regarding this least bit had not actually detected, the janitor first discovered his corpse in the morning.” Clear water Daoist priest said. When can the water kite miss know him to leave? ” white Xiaotian turns to Ms. Feng, asked. “大概是昨夜子时到丑时间……说来惭愧,贫道其实一直驻守在阁中,对此却半点没有察觉,还是早上杂役最先发现他尸首的。”白水道长说道。水鸢姑娘可知他是何时离开的？”白霄天又转向冯妈,问道。 „Oh, she was frightened not clear, only said that last night rested deadly, does not know when very much it leaves. At present was the water heated room is not about, goes elsewhere to rest temporarily.” Ms. Feng sighs woefully, said. “唉,她被吓得不清,只说昨夜睡得很死,根本不知其是何时离开的。眼下更是连水暖阁也不敢待,去了别处暂歇。”冯妈哀叹一声,说道。 white Xiaotian hears word, after silent moment, takes yellow paper rune/symbol Lu from the sleeve, arrives by the corpse, will bend down the post center its forehead. 白霄天闻言,沉默片刻后,从袖中抽出一张黄纸符箓,走到尸首旁,一俯身将之贴在了其眉心正中。 Only listens to „pū” a light sound, on the symbol paper ignites wisp of flame, leapt fiercely, immediately burns slowly. 只听“噗”的一声轻响,符纸上燃起一缕火苗,猛地腾了一下,随即缓缓燃烧起来。 „Yin ghost luck symbol!” A clear water Daoist eyes pupil bright say/way. “阴煞引气符！”白水道人眼眸一亮道。 Sinks down hears word, gathered on the vision the symbol paper. 沈落闻言,也将目光聚集到了符纸上。 He had also heard when this rune/symbol Lu, combustion can by the air/Qi of Yin ghost rune/symbol Huojiang hides, inspires. 他也听说过这种符箓,燃烧时能够以符火将藏匿起来的阴煞之气,引动出来。 If this high storekeeper really harms for the Yin ghost ghost thing, within the body will have the air/Qi of Yin ghost to preserve mostly, at present the symbol fire point in the center of the forehead, in the middle of the seven orifices then should have the gloom to curl to flow out. 若是这高掌柜真的是为阴煞鬼物所害,体内多半会有阴煞之气存留,眼下符火点在印堂,七窍当中便该有阴气袅袅流出。
