The Great Fortune passenger ship anchored for day on Misty Island, carried the last group of passengers, hoisted the sails to leave the harbor under the push of strong westerly wind, cleft the waves the vanguard toward destination Eastern Court Protectorate Capital Auspicious Light. 大福号客船在雾岛上停泊了一天,载上了最后一批乘客,在强劲西风的推送下扬帆驶离了港口,向着目的地东廷都护府首府瑞光破浪前行。 Indoor a ships intermediate level single custody, sits cross-legged to sit one to wear the cape, wears the hat person, reveals on the face that to see this from the shadow is youngster. 船只中层一间单人羁押室内,盘膝坐着一个身穿斗篷,戴着遮帽的人,从阴影下方露出的脸庞上可以看出这是个年轻人。 Takes into custody under the room the narrow turning gate to open, several newspapers from outside stops up. 羁押室下方狭窄的翻门一开,几张报纸从外面塞了进来。 Zhang Yu listens to the sound of footsteps to walk away, puts out a hand to take up the present newspaper, the exercise of many years of breathing technique, causes his body and spirit by far average man, even if here ray is dim, does not hinder him to read. 张御听着脚步声走远,伸手拿起眼前的报纸,多年呼吸法的锻炼,使得他体魄远胜常人,哪怕这里光线昏暗,也不妨碍他阅读。 He first swept a date. 他首先扫了一眼日期。 „Grand Profound Calendar February 2.” “大玄历二月初二。” The stop moment of vision on this, he then looks downward. 目光在这上面停顿片刻,他这才往下看。 Compared with the three days ago Incense Island report, this newspaper some changes in the price quotations of some cargos, other places is almost same, was the fortnight ago news. 和三天前的香岛报相比,这份报纸只是在一些货物的价格行情上有些变化,其它地方几乎是一样的,都是十天半月前的消息了。 This can also understand. Although various Rising Sea sea area islands the contact is frequent, may be restricted in relatively backward transportation exchange way, cannot cover compared with all sky nets with his previous life. 这也可以理解。腾海海域各岛虽然往来频繁,可受限于相对落后的交通交流方式,到底不能和他前世笼罩一切的天网相比。 May depend upon nutrition cabin to maintain the life compared with previous life that people, only then consciousness deathly stillness world that can also move, present all at least fresh/live. 可比起前世那个人人依靠营养舱来维持生命,只有意识还能活动的死寂世界,眼前的一切至少还是鲜活的。 He folds neatly the newspaper, one side places , to continue original breathing. 他把报纸整齐叠好,放在一边,继续原来的吐纳呼吸。 Was limited these days of activity, because is maintaining long-term entering static, he had an unexpected benefit. 被限制活动的这几天,由于保持着长时间的入静,他却是有了一个意外收获。 He can feel, some place on the ship, an object is sending out the strange energy, as his breath hauling, a faint trace was absorbed. 他能感觉到,在船上某个地方,一个物体正散发着奇异的能量,并随着他的呼吸牵引,一丝丝的被摄取过来。 But before then, such matter he also needs to achieve through direct touching. 而在此之前,这样的事他还需要通过直接触摸才能做到。 His happy is thinking: „No wonder teacher common saying ‚in the midst of concentrating one's spirit, emptiness will arrive’, really reasonable, it seems like before achieving capital, I can absorb these source energy cleanly.” 他心情愉快的想着:“难怪老师常言‘存神在中,虚空即来’,果然是有道理的,看来在达到首府之前,我就能把这些源能吸收干净了。” He is not doing this matter continuously, but is each makes the stop after a period of time slightly. This is the knack that he tries to find out in this period of time, because only then this is more effective. 他并不是持续不断的做着这件事,而是每过一段时间就稍作停顿。这是他在这段时间里摸索出来的诀窍,因为只有这样才更有效率。 After he stops once again, outside broadcast the resounding voices of many children faintly, should came from some lower layer cabin. He distinguishes carefully, is reading aloud a poetry. 就在他又一次停下后,外面隐隐传来了许多孩童的响亮声音,应该是来自某个下层舱室。他仔细一辨,却是在念诵一首诗歌。 Although the sound is immature, may win in uniform, clear has the imposing manner, the content is he is also familiar exactly. 声音虽然稚嫩,可胜在整齐划一,清亮而有气势,内容也恰是他所熟悉的。 This is «Winds of Xia». 这是一首《夏风》。 this life, as a person of Celestial Xia, he has listened to innumerable. 此世身为天夏人,他已经听过无数遍了。 „The Grand Dao, Profound and Chaotic, bears the universe; the Celestial City broke millions of clouds to arrive.” “大道玄浑乾坤载，天城百万裂云来。” „The glorious divine light illuminates man and the firmament, the splendorous Xia built a grandiose stage!” “赫赫神光耀汉霄，煌煌夏彩筑华台！” „The scorching sun wants to evaporate the blue sea into emptiness and the extremely white dawn arises from the East.” “骄阳欲赤蒸青海，晨启东方晓太白。” „The present fate of humanity's heritage is dreary and all the ages shall eulogize it as presperous!” “今承人道运苍黄，万世颂传称盛哉！” This world once experienced alternations of several era, has the invasion of outcomer, there is a recovery of ancient strength. each time, new student/life civilization will rise from the ruins, again moving from prosperity to ruin, in the land is proliferating various era ancient ruins, is flooding all kinds of monster and god everywhere. 这个世界曾经历了数个纪元的更迭,有外来者的入侵,也有古老力量的复苏。每一次,新生的文明都会从废墟中崛起,再从兴盛走向毁灭,以至于大地上遍布着诸纪元的古代遗迹,到处充斥着各种各样的怪物和神明。 But all these, 373 years ago some day changed. 而这一切,在三百七十三年前的某一天发生了改变。 Celestial Xia arrived! 天夏降临了！ It's said that when the Celestial Xia first arrived, a Celestial City that covered the heavens was floating in the top of the sky, to the extent that every corner in the world could see it. 据说天夏到来之初,遮天蔽日的浮空天城悬于高穹之巅,以至于当时已知世界的每一个角落都能望见。 But this poetry, was used to praise at that time the scene. 而这首诗歌,就是用来称颂当时景象的。 after Celestial Xia entered the world, for establishes the new order on broken chaotic world, inevitable erupted the fierce conflict with these gods and monsters and native. 天夏入世之后,为了在破碎混乱的世界上重新建立起新的秩序,无可避免的与那些神怪和土著爆发了剧烈冲突。 Has numerous cultivator Celestial Xia in most to start not to run into any nice opponent, however with the expansion of dragging and dominant area of war, there are more and more issue emerge. 拥有众多修炼者的天夏在最开始并没有遇到什么像样的对手,然而随着战事的拖延和统治疆域的扩大,也有越来越多的问题冒了出来。 In order to comply with the change of situation, Celestial Xia upper layer conducted the improvement to the original cultivation method, but the difference and contradictory also appears. 为了顺应形势的变化,天夏上层对原来的修炼方法进行了改良,可分歧和矛盾也是随之出现。 Since then, Celestial Xia cultivator divided the two community. 自此之后,天夏修炼者划分成了两个群体。 the cultivators who worshipped the new techniques were called "profound cultivators", still continued to use the original cultivation way, is called „old cultivator”. 崇奉新法的修炼者被称为“玄修”,仍然沿用原有修炼方式的,则被称为“旧修”。 But his once teacher, was old cultivator! 而他曾经的老师,就是一位旧修！ Five years ago , was when he was 12 years old, his foster father invited teacher for him, was responsible for teaching his old techniques cultivation. 五年前,也就是他12岁时,他的养父替他请来了一位老师,负责教授他旧法的修行。 But the human affairs is difficult to predict, because of some reasons, he cannot walk far on this road, later instead took the new techniques path. 可是世事难料,因为一些原因,他并没有能在这条路上走多远,之后反而走上了新法的道路。 However he crosses the threshold now, this time to Protectorate Capital, wants to learn the higher level new techniques method there. 不过他现在只是堪堪入了门,这次去往都护府首府,就是想要在那里学到更高层次的新法法门。 When he immerses in the oneself recollection, outside resounded an intermittent flintlock bellow suddenly , a long depressed echo along with breaking through the sound of ocean waves flutters together, and in rapid being close. 就在他沉浸于自己回忆中的时候,外面忽然响起了一阵阵的火枪轰鸣声,紧接着,一声悠长沉闷的回响伴随着冲破海浪的声音一起飘荡过来,并且是在急骤挨近之中。 After short dreariness, ships under feeling body rocks fiercely, probably was slammed into by anything, he stood firm the center of gravity luckily ahead of time, has not therefore thrown down. 只是短暂的沉寂后,就感觉身下的船只一阵剧烈晃动,好像是被什么东西猛烈撞击了一下,幸好他提前稳住了重心,并没有因此摔倒。 The sporadic wailing sound and scream made a sound outside. 零星的哀嚎声和喊叫声在外面响了起来。 He thinks, put out a hand to build the shutter, caught up gently, kā bā, the door bolt withstood/top, extended one to build the doorframe, from taking into custody in the room walked. 他想了想,伸出手搭住了门板,轻轻一发力,咔吧一声,门栓就被顶断,伸出一手搭住门框,自羁押室里走了出来。 He stands in the entrance, tightened the vermilion glove that in the hand wears, this passes through the long cabin quickly, steps on the level ladder to arrive at outside. 他站在门口,把手上戴着的朱红色手套紧了紧,这才快步走过长长的间舱,踩着层梯来到外面。 In the deck a confusion, shouts the person of pain pitiful yell everywhere, the broken monster corpse is tossing disorderly, is flowing everywhere the stench blood, the people of ship guard are running in a hurry, once for a while will also resound a scattered flintlock sound. 甲板上一片混乱,到处都是呼痛惨叫的人,残破的怪物尸身凌乱抛洒着,满地是流淌着的腥臭血液,船卫队的人正在匆匆奔跑着,时不时还会响起一声零散的火枪声。 He looks to these monster corpses, recognizes this thing named the water infant, the folk name is „Water Monkey”, is in the sea and inland river the most common water monster. 他看向那些怪物的尸体,认出这东西名叫水婴,民间的叫法是“水猴子”,是大海上和内河中最常见的水怪。 His several steps arrives at the broad side, looks toward the distant place, there, wipes the giant back to expose in the sea level, a colored flowing light that the above also covers. 他几步走到船舷边上,往远处看去,就在那里,一抹巨大的脊背暴露在海面上,上方还覆盖的一层彩色流光。 This is causes The Great Fortune nearly for the chief criminal who it subverts, has the superior strength and huge build sea monster. 这就是使得大福号险些为之颠覆的罪魁祸首,一头具备超常力量和庞大体型的海怪。 a spiritual creature. 一头灵性生物。 He ponders the moment, walked toward the The Great Fortune most upper layer tower, the convoy guard is rescuing the wounded person under a director of team leader, for a while also no one can attend to him. 他思考片刻,就朝着大福号最上层的楼台走了过去,护卫队正在一名队长的指挥下救助伤员,一时也没人顾得上他。 Arrives at the above, his eyes see captain Shi Dongliang to speak in an attire tailor body-fusion middle-aged man, looked that is quarrelling anything, the side 56 made-up face fine female family members, are also exuding the low sobbing at this time. 来到上方,他一眼望见船长石栋梁正在一个衣着剪裁合体的中年男子说话,看去在争吵着什么,旁边还有五六个妆容精致的女眷,此时正发出低低的抽泣声。 „Captain Shi, on the ship has the artillery, why doesn't open fire?” “石船首,船上有火炮,为什么不开火？” „Mr. Helian, this is young salamander, is rare spirituality monster, its surface has a spirituality coat, the arms are useless, will only enrage it, now we need to do does not cope with it, but discovers it to attack our reasons!” “赫连先生,这是一头夭螈,是少见的灵性怪物,它的表面有一层灵性外衣,枪炮根本没用,只会将它激怒,我们现在需要做的不是对付它,而是找出它攻击我们的原因！” Zhang Yu hears here, has the sound said: „Perhaps Captain Shi, I know the reason.” 张御听到这里,出声道:“石船首,或许我知道原因。” The middle-aged man turns head, surprisedly says: „Who are you?” 中年男子一扭头,诧异道:“你是谁？” A guard looked at Zhang Yu several, the facial expression one tightly, points at him saying: „He, he seems like that to be closed the person in custody room!” 一名护卫看了张御几眼,神情一紧,指着他道:“他,他好像是那个被关在羁押室的人！” „The person in custody room?” Middle-aged man look one nervous, shouts greatly: „Guard, guard!” “羁押室的人？”中年男子神色一慌,大喊道:“卫队,卫队！” Under guard team leader hears to shout, the response is quick, immediately leads one team of people to clash, surrounds all round Zhang Yu, one also aimed at him hand cannon. 底下的护卫队长听到呼喊,反应很快,立刻带着一队人冲了上来,把张御团团包围住,一把把火铳也是指向了他。 Facing pitch-dark muzzle, Zhang Yu tranquil is standing. 面对黑洞洞的枪口,张御平静的站着。 Shi Dongliang patted the shoulder of former guard team leader, hints the latter to make way. He looks to Zhang Yu, said: „You are that young man Zhang, who was detained because he made a transaction of a forbidden item with a believer of a different God?” 石栋梁拍了拍身前护卫队长的肩膀,示意后者让开。他看向张御,道:“你是那个因为与异神教徒交易禁物而被看押起来的张少郎？” Zhang Yu said: „Yes.” 张御道:“是的。” The middle-aged man is very tense, said: „forbidden item? What forbidden item? Isn't the Protectorate's important criminal? You, take off your hat.” 中年男子还是十分紧张,道:“禁物？什么禁物？不会是都护府的要犯吧？你,你把遮帽摘下来。” Zhang Yu looks at his one eyes, both hands grasps the brim, lifts backward. 张御看他一眼,双手拿住帽沿,向后掀开。 „Hou......” “嚯……” Presents everyone, regardless of the men and women, is seeing that moment of his face, expresses an exclamation from heart. 在场所有人,无论男女,在见到他面庞的那一刻,都是从心底发出一声惊叹。 They are very difficult to imagine, in the whole world there exists so good looking a person, one after another looking at steadily stares at him to look. 他们很难想象出来,世界上竟有长得这么好看的人,一个个都是目不转睛的盯着他直看。 Zhang Yu facing the gaze of people, facial expression nature, without any embarrassment. 张御面对众人的注视,神情自然,没有任何局促不安。 His teacher to his appraisal is „clean, vigorous and with divine elegance, appearance of an Exiled Immortal”, in this has the reason of inborn look, is five years of breathing technique cultivation gets down, in the makings had the big transformation. 他老师对他的评价是“气清神秀,谪仙之表”,这里面既有天生相貌的原因,还有就是五年吐纳术修炼下来,气质上发生了较大的转变。 Shi Dongliang could not bear size up his several eyes, but he restrained the mood quickly, said with deep veneration: „young man Zhang, you said that you know this monster does seek our reason?” 石栋梁也是忍不住打量了他好几眼,但他很快收敛了情绪,肃然道:“张少郎,你说你知道这头怪物找上我们的原因？” Zhang Yu nodded, said: „I walked when a moment ago, saw that on the ship has the body of many water infant......” 张御点了点头,道:“刚才我走过来时,看到船上有不少水婴的尸体……” His words have not said that middle-aged man called: „Right, is the water infant! Definitely for these water infants!” He shouts to these guard team members: „Why don't you expel them? Was you brought in this monster!” 他话还没有说完,那个中年男子就叫了起来:“对,是水婴！肯定是为了这些水婴！”他冲着那些护卫队员喊道:“你们为什么不赶走它们？是你们引来了这头怪物！” Guard team leader is constraining the anger in chest, said: „Mr. Helian, the water infant is man-eating monster, but all creates the thing of life threat to the passenger, our ship guards have the responsibility elimination!” 护卫队长压抑着胸膛中的怒气,道:“赫连先生,水婴是一种食人怪物,而所有对乘客造成生命威胁的事物,我们船卫队都有责任清除！” Shi Dongliang gives a hand signal, prevented two people argument, the sinking sound said: „First listened to young man Zhang to say the words.” 石栋梁打出一个手势,阻止了两人的争论,沉声道:“先听张少郎把话说完。” Zhang Yu said: „My speciality is ancient natural history, understands many monster habits. young salamander this monster after resulting in spirituality, will have consciousness exercise oneself cub, they receiving the water infant of oneself obligation rush to a place, making oneself cub prey on, in this process, the water infant acted as the cub guard, is it falls into the food after difficult position.” 张御道:“我的专学是古代博物学,了解不少怪物的习性。夭螈这种怪物在得了灵性后,会有意识的锻炼自己的幼崽,它们会把受到自己驱使的水婴赶到一个地方,让自己的幼崽去捕食,在这个过程中,水婴既充当了幼崽的护卫,同时也是它陷入困境后的食物。” Shi Dongliang raised the head fiercely, looks to Zhang Yu, said: „young man Zhang said, this monster this time possibly did place on the cub preying on place The Great Fortune?” 石栋梁猛地抬头,看向张御,道:“张少郎是说,这头怪物这次可能是把幼崽的捕食地点放在了大福号上？” The Zhang Yu nod said: „This is most likely, young salamander not using humans as food, this monster should hear the hand cannon sound, was worried that oneself cub safety, this had the following hit The Great Fortune action. If we can look for promptly cub, in the back sea, had the opportunity to avoid with this monster direct conflict again properly.” 张御点头道:“这是最有可能的,夭螈本身并不以人为食物,这怪物应该听到了火铳声,担心自己幼崽的安危,这才有了后面的撞击大福号的举动。假如我们能把幼崽及时找出来,再妥善送回海中,就有机会避免和这怪物直接冲突了。” „Quickly looks!” “赶快去找！” Shi Dongliang issues the order immediately. 石栋梁立刻下达了命令。 Guard team leader said: „Father, I goes!” The voice falls, the person the quick steps have flushed away toward downstairs. 护卫队长道:“父亲,我去！”话音才落,人已经疾步往楼下冲去了。 young salamander after dashing The Great Fortune, has not conducted similar movement again, but has not departed, but has patrolled around the hull, but can look, it seemed to be getting more and more anxious. 夭螈在冲撞了一次大福号后,没有再进行类似的动作,但也没有离去,而是一直在船身四周游弋,不过能看得出来,它似乎越来越焦躁了。 The people are waiting for with trepidation, for fear that monster sticks out suddenly again, does not know that The Great Fortune could also withstand at that time. 众人提心吊胆的等待着,生怕那怪物再度暴起,不知道大福号那时是不是还顶得住。 In the past approximately the little while, with the anxious sound of footsteps, guard team leader brought a crew to hurry back, in the latter hand holds a packing sheet is binding the thing. 大约过去半刻,随着急切的脚步声,护卫队长带着一名船员赶了回来,后者手中抱着一个包布裹着的东西。 The middle-aged man snatched, two people asked urgently: „What kind of? Found? In your hand?” 中年男子抢了上去,两人火急火燎地问道:“怎么样？找到了么？是不是你手里的这个？” That crew anxious anxious opens the binding arrange/cloth in hand, inside revealed a head length the lizard tail, the whole body does not have scale smoothly, the color deep purple little thing, at this moment is struggling there furiously. 那船员紧张不安的将手中的裹布打开,里面露出了一头长着蜥尾,浑身光溜溜没有鳞片,颜色深紫的小东西,此刻正在那里奋力挣扎着。 Guard team leader said: „We found this little thing in the broom closet.” 护卫队长道:“我们在杂物室找到了这小东西。” The middle-aged man great happiness, he waves both hands, urged: „Good, quickly, threw to go it quickly!” 中年男子大喜,他挥舞双手,催促道:“太好了,快,快把它扔到海里去！” But at this moment, that cub twitched suddenly several, moves the round trip long-tail to tighten suddenly, short after several breath, one relaxed, the head is drooping toward, was motionless. 可就在这时,那幼崽突然抽搐了几下,甩动来去的长尾陡然绷紧,短短几个呼吸后,就一下松弛了下来,头部朝下方耷拉着,一动不动了。 Crew body one stiff, he swallowed a saliva, the trembling sound said: „It, it died probably.” 船员身体一僵,他咽了口唾沫,颤声道:“它,它好像死了。” ...... …… ...... ……
