But this time arrived here, is will prepare to participate in next year this time Scholars' Discussion. 他们两人的年龄都是超过了百岁,俱在六十年前便就成为了天夏“士”,如今已经有四十多年没有踏足过瑞光了。而这一次来到这里,是准备参与来年这一次的“士议”。 After Honorable Gentleman Yu is polite, cracks a joke saying: Does not think that Honorable Gentleman Kuang really participates in Scholars' Discussion, I think your like in the past, anything pays lip service.” 余公执礼之后,开玩笑道:“不想况公真来参与士议,我以为你如以往一般,什么事都只是嘴上说说罢了。” Honorable Gentleman Kuang squints his one eyes, said: Your this old fogy can come, can't come depending on what me?” 况公斜乜他一眼,道:“你这老家伙能来,凭何我不能来?” Said that who is old?” “说谁老?” Honorable Gentleman Yu is unbearably angry, you also compared with me greatly am one year old!” 余公似是气不过,“你还比我大一岁!” Honorable Gentleman Kuang said naturally: This is not, I was old, how could aren't you also old?” 况公理所当然道:“这不就是,我老了,你又岂能不老?” Honorable Gentleman Yu stares his one eyes, said: Offending somebody wound oneself, your old fogy is not concerned about face!” 余公瞪他一眼,道:“伤人伤己,你这老家伙还是这么不要脸!” Honorable Gentleman Kuang hehe, patted the cheek of oneself, said: This face, wants, depends on our face, the good and evil can also give the later generation to cover one or two.” 况公呵呵一声,拍了拍自己的面颊,道:“这脸嘛,还是要的,就凭我们这张老脸,好歹还能给后辈遮挡一二。” Honorable Gentleman Yu satirizes saying: Old fogy do not look at oneself too high, more than 40 years do not tread on Auspicious Light, who still remembers your face?” 余公讽道:“老家伙别把自己看太高,四十多年不履瑞光,谁还记得你的脸?” Honorable Gentleman Kuang said indifferently: Does not remember is also all right, although the face was less than the young time to be good-looking, but the brain was not also not muddled, can always give youngster to offer some stupid ideas.” 况公无所谓道:“不记得也没事,虽然脸是不及年轻时候俊俏了,可脑子不是还没有糊涂嘛,总还是能给年轻人出些馊主意的。” Two people you satirize me to censure here, on dock the large crowd welcomed, many occupies the high position Political Council government official in middle position of government, cotton garment old man from more numerous, comes up to bow with hands clasped, the surface says presently excitedly: Master Kuang and Master Yu, the student has seen two teacher.” 两人在这里你讽我贬,码头上却有一大群人迎了过来,其中不乏在都府中位高位都堂官吏,有一布衣老者自里越众而出,上来一揖,面现激动道:“况师余师,学生见过两位老师。” Honorable Gentleman Yu looked at his one eyes, said suddenly: Is Liu Zhan.” 余公看了他一眼,恍然道:“是柳湛啊。” Liu Zhan said: Yes, two teacher, the student has assigned the son to prepare the feast in the mansion, but also asked two teacher to come.” 柳湛道:“是,两位老师,学生已命儿子在府中备宴,还请两位老师赏光。” Squint looks at he, said: Knowing your son is Office Duke, does not need to take to be placed in the mouth.” 况且斜眼看着他,道:“知道你儿子是署公,不必拿出来摆在嘴边。” Liu Zhan is somewhat awkward, said: Master Kuang, the student is not this meaning.” 柳湛有些尴尬,道:“况师,学生不是这个意思。” Honorable Gentleman Yu waves a sleeve, said: Do not manage him, this old fogy most likes ridiculing the person, unreasonable has not managed to stir three points, happen to the abdomen the hunger, goes to your family place thank your for your hospitality, while convenient how also had a look at present Auspicious Light.” 余公一挥袖,道:“别理他,这老家伙最爱讥讽人,无理没理搅三分,正好腹中饥饿,就去你府上叨扰一顿,顺便也看看如今的瑞光如何了。” Liu Zhan is busy at being sideways one step, said respectfully: two teacher invited.” 柳湛忙侧身一步,恭敬道:“两位老师请。” The date and time flies, quick arrived in December the day of 30. 时日飞逝,很快就到了十二月三十这一天。 Inside and outside Auspicious Light City is decorated with lanterns and colored streamers everywhere, Peaceful Sun Academy in this day summoned to gather in academy all teacher and Study Supervisor, suspended one to banquet on Moon Embracing Stage, happy has drunk midnight just now to finish. 瑞光城内外处处张灯结彩,泰阳学宫在这日召聚了学宫中所有的师教学令,在揽月台上摆了一场饮宴,一直欢饮到了人定时分方才结束。 After Zhang Yu participates banquets, pushes colleague invitation of enjoying dance, oneself alone returned to the dwelling place, he arrives above the top layer, sleeves behind one's back looks at distant place Auspicious Light City, hears the sound of firecracker, the looks at fallen enchanting fireworks to break in the upper air distantly. 张御参与完饮宴之后,推了一众同僚的赏舞之邀,自己独自一人回到了居处,他来到顶层之上,负袖看着远处瑞光城,遥遥听得爆竹之声,看着零落的炫丽烟花冲入高空之中。 Wondrous Pills Lord arrives at his foot, looked at him, then squats to sit in side. 妙丹君来到他脚边,看了看他,便在旁蹲坐下来。 At this time under had the resounding sound to transmit suddenly said: „Can brother Zhang, in?” 这时下方忽有响亮声音传来道:“张兄,可在么?” Zhang Yu has turned around, several steps arrives at top edge, looks downward, said: brother Liu, how did you come?” 张御转过身,几步走到顶层边缘处,往下一望,道:“柳兄,你怎么来了?” Liu Guang stands under, in the hand takes a celadon ware wine pot, lifts to him, said: brother Zhang, in the clan these customs I am seeing the headache, a person crossed felt bored last year, is thinking drank several cups to your here together.” 柳光站在下方,手里拿着一个青瓷酒壶,冲他举了举,道:“张兄,族里那些规矩我见着头疼,一个人渡旧岁又颇觉无聊,便想着到你这里来一同饮上几杯。” Zhang Yu cups the hands, said: brother Liu, but also please come up.” 张御拱手,道:“柳兄,还请上来。” Li Qinghe gets down to open the door immediately, Teacher Liu followed him to arrive above the top layer, saw a ritual with Zhang Yu, the two person then sat well under the canopy. 李青禾立刻下去开了门,柳师教跟随他来到了顶层之上,与张御见了一礼,两个人便在雨棚之下坐定。 Liu Guang looked at a distant place to cover Auspicious Light City in lights, put down the wine pot, smiles, patted the racket above gently, said: Relax, knows that you do not like drinking wine, this pot liquor I drink, you by all means tea then well.” 柳光看了眼远处笼罩在灯火之中的瑞光城,把酒壶放下,笑了一笑,在上面轻轻拍了拍,道:“放心,知道你不喜欢饮酒,这壶酒我来喝,你只管饮茶便好。” Zhang Yu said: Today this day, drinks several cups also to might as well.” He told Li Qinghe, said: Goes that altar/jar liquor to bring the cave.” 张御道:“今天这日子,饮几杯也无妨。”他吩咐了一下李青禾,道:“去把地窖里那坛酒拿来。” Li Qinghe obeys an order to go. 李青禾应命而去。 Liu Guang at present one bright, said: brother Zhang, it seems like your here has the nice wine!” 柳光眼前一亮,道:“张兄,看来你这里有好酒!” After a while, Li Qinghe holds a wine pot, carried one set of drinking utensils single-handedly, carefully, in spreading the paint case of pad arrange/cloth suspended the wine pot, patted the seal. Initially when does not smell what flavor, but after a while, only thinks that full Yuan are strongly fragrant fragrant, smokes the human desire to be drunk. 过了一会儿,李青禾一手捧着一只酒坛,一手拎了一套酒具,小心走了上来,在铺好垫布的漆案上把酒坛摆好,就拍开了封口。初时闻不到什么味道,可过了一会儿,只觉满院都是馥郁芬芳,熏人欲醉。 Liu Guang closes eyes heard, on the cheeks is one flushed red, the body could also not help shake two to shake, he exclaimed in surprise to open eyes, asks: What liquor is this?” 柳光闭目一闻,脸颊上便是一阵酡红,身躯也情不自禁晃了两晃,他惊叹睁眼,问道:“这是什么酒?” Zhang Yu said: spiritual wine that Profound Mansion presents as a gift, I have not always drunk.” 张御道:“玄府赠的灵酿,我还从来未曾喝过。” Liu Guang cannot help but be interested, rubbed rubbing hands, said: Originally also has this grade of nice wine, this was actually brother Zhang profits at someone's expense.” During the speeches, he takes the wine glass anxiously. 柳光不由来了兴趣,搓了搓手,道:“原来还有这等好酒,今次却是张兄沾光了。”说话之间,他急着去拿酒杯。 Zhang Yu actually puts out a hand, blocks him saying: Slow.” 张御却一伸手,拦住他道:“慢。” Liu Guang casts the puzzled vision. 柳光投来不解目光。 Zhang Yu said sincerely: brother Liu, you are not cultivator, therefore your glass of liquor, but also needs the lukewarm water to compromise, otherwise in less than one, you will keel over drunk, several days also not necessarily can wake up.” 张御诚恳言道:“柳兄,你不是修行中人,所以你这杯酒,还需用温水调和,不然用不了一口,你就会醉倒,几日也不见得能醒来。” Exchanges the water?” “兑水?” The Liu Guang eye stares in a big way, he cannot bear smell that flavor, helpless shakes the head saying: „It is not tasteful, is not tasteful.” 柳光眼睛瞪大,他又忍不住闻了闻那味道,无奈摇头道:“太不讲究了,太不讲究了。” Li Qinghe has taken a wine glass, first pours the first half lukewarm water, then holds the wine pot, leans slightly, then sees a clear jade line to flow, falls into the cup, the youth, has the fog airhovered all round near the rim, if the thin silk spirit reveal, concentrates is not loose. 李青禾拿过一只酒杯,先倒上半盏温水,然后捧起酒坛,稍稍一倾,便见一条晶莹玉线流淌下来,落入杯中,少时,有团团雾气浮在杯口附近,若冰纨灵露、凝而不散。 Liu Guang when Zhang Yu takes up the wine glass in hand, this puts out a hand, grasps in front of oneself that cup. 柳光张御把手中的酒杯拿起,这才伸手出去,拿住自己面前的那一杯。 At this time he thinks, looked to under brightly-lit Auspicious Light City, sighed with emotion: The sun and the moon pass through the sky and the auspicious light came forth, passed today, my Celestial Xia person is bases entire one hundred years in this piece of land......” 这时他想了想,看向下方在灯火璀璨的瑞光城,感慨道:“日月经天,瑞光出焉,过了今日,我天夏人在这片地陆已是立足整整一个百年了……” At this point, he turns serious, the double handle wine glass holds, said: This cup, then hope Celestial Xia forever, common people safe!” 说到这里,他神色一正,双手把酒杯捧起,道:“这一杯,便愿‘天夏永在,万民安泰’!” Zhang Yu also lifts the sleeve, serious expression raises glass, said: Celestial Xia forever, common people safe!” 张御也是把袖一抬,正容举杯,道:“天夏永在,万民安泰!” Two people respected a respect mutually, is faces upwards and drinks, later holds sleeve Shi the cup, puts down again. 两人互相敬了一敬,都是仰脖一饮,随后托袖示杯,再是放下。 Rumbling...... 轰轰轰…… Outside the distant place harbor has the continuous depressed crackle of gunfire to transmit. 远处海港外有接连不断的的沉闷炮声传来。 Liu Guang looked, said: „ This is the Protectorate's fleet is firing a gun to call the ritual, to celebrate new year. 柳光看了看,道:“这是都护府的舰队在放炮鸣礼,以贺新年。 Zhang Yu nods. 张御点头。 Almost after half double-hour, this rumble the crackle of gunfire just now stops, but this sound as if made a start, after a while later, then hears the firecracker sound to resound in entire city each corner, later in entire Auspicious Light City started to set off the grand smoke and fire, bunch of brilliant fireworks along with fleeing the sound of howling fulmination, bloomed sky over the city. 差不多有半个时辰之后,这隆隆炮声方才停下,不过此声仿佛只是开了一个头,过了一会儿之后,便听得爆竹声音在全城各个角落响起,随后整个瑞光城中开始放起了盛大烟火,一团团绚烂烟花伴随着窜啸爆鸣之声,在城市上空绽放开来。 Liu Guang sighed one, said: Today crosses, was Year 374 of the Grand Profound Calendar, does not know when Protectorate can revert Celestial Xia.” 柳光感叹一声,道:“今日一过,就是大玄历三百七十四年了,也不知道都护府何时能归回天夏。” Zhang Yu said: Working as is in the near future.” 张御道:“当已为时不远了。” In Liu Guang eye slightly bright, the body moved slightly forward near, looked that said to him: How did brother Zhang say? What news but Profound Mansion does there have?” 柳光眼中微亮,身躯稍稍向前挪近了一些,看向他道:“张兄何以如此说?可是玄府那里有什么消息么?” Zhang Yu said: Protectorate with the Celestial Xia certainly way, that is because of Chaos Tide, therefore, this Chaos Tide is abating during at the present continually, believes soon, the hindrance above boundary will then be weaken to slightly.” 张御道:“都护府之所以与天夏绝途,那是因为浊潮之故,而今这浊潮就正在持续消退之中,相信用不了多久,地界之上的阻碍便将减弱到最小。” Liu Guang cannot bear an excitement, said: Then, after waiting for Chaos Tide to retreat completely, Protectorate can light the beacon-fire......” at this point, cold wind blows, he quickly grasped the meaning of something, became sober several points, the sound of talking was also cannot help but pause, hey, shook the head to self-ridicule saying: Liquor drank high.” He takes up the wine glass, face upwards Bo drinks, that is might as well drunk.” 柳光忍不住一阵激动,道:“这么说来,等浊潮完全退去之后,都护府便可点燃烽火……”只是说到这里,正有一阵冷风吹来,他一个激灵,酒醒了几分,语声也是不由一顿,嘿了一声,摇头自嘲道:“酒喝高了。”他拿起酒杯,仰脖一口饮下,“那就不妨一醉吧。” Zhang Yu looks at him one after another, does not have to persuade. Can look that the clear people know, after 60 years ago Hong River Pass fights, lights the resistance of beacon-fire, never on Chaos Tide. 张御看他一杯接着一杯,也没有去劝说。能看明白的人都知道,自六十年前洪河隘口一战之后,点燃烽火的阻力,就从来就不在浊潮上。 The Liu Guang alcohol capacity is good, after drinking ten several cups continually, cannot support the potency of alcohol, crouches/submits inverted/fall on table, but mouth is still whispering anything. 柳光酒量不错,连饮十数杯后,才撑不过酒力,伏倒在了案台上,不过嘴里似还在嘀咕着什么。 Zhang Yu has not drunk again, is only the looks at distant place, Wondrous Pills Lord arrives at side him silently, called one to him gently, he puts out a hand to caress. 张御没有再饮,只是默默看着远方,妙丹君来到他身边,冲他轻轻叫了一声,他伸手上去一抚。 At this time above the terrace had the sound of great bell drum to get up suddenly, reverberates in the entire Auspicious Light City above, passed on to the sea level above again, delivered to go toward the distant place following the mighty waves, non-stop reverberating there. 这时台地之上忽有宏大的钟鼓之声响起,回荡在整个瑞光城的上方,再是传至海面之上,顺着波涛往远处送递而去,不停在那里回荡着。 Last year has eliminated, is one year of new beginning. 旧岁已除,又是一年新始。 He in one of the liquor cup toward underground but actually, was respects oneself, the person of past. 他将杯中之酒往地下一倒,算是敬过去之己,过去之人。 He raised the head, is gazing at these ascension, blooms to extinguish in the midair, actually the unceasing successor, always outshines the nighttime sky the smoke and fire. 他抬起头,注视着那些升腾而起,在半空之中绽放熄灭,却又不断后继上来,始终照亮夜空的烟火。 Chaos Tide has saved in some Yu/some person gloomy thoughts, but that beacon-fire is actually rooted in millions of will of the people, so long as these fire seeds have not extinguished, then day can light eventually. 浊潮一直存于某些人阴暗的心思之内,可是那烽火却根植在千千万万的人心之中,只要这些火种未曾灭去,那么终究有一天是可以点燃的。 His intention moves, Xia Sword leaps to plunder to come, instantly falls to the hand, puts out a hand to grip the sword hilt, clang pull blade, the sword blade raises, reflects that to inundate the heavenly star fire, in the mouth recites: Crosses the day of returning torch photo, the heart more vastness compared with the cloud height, profound principles moves the startling thunderclap to get up, the sword cuts ten thousand li (0.5 km) to break a day of tide!” 他心意一动,夏剑腾掠而来,霎时落至手中,伸手握住剑柄,锵的一声拔刃而出,剑刃抬高,映着那漫天星火,口中吟道:“渡天归去薪火照,心越汪洋比云高,玄机一动惊雷起,剑斩万里断天潮!” ...... …… ...... ……
