Dawn of February 15. 二月十五，天方破晓。 Zhang Yu walked from the dwelling place, looked around, mind rouses. 张御自居处走了出来,看了看四下,精神一振。 Couple days ago day after day the heavy rain, to stopped last night, this moment air was especially neat, reflects pleasant the flower tree branches and leaves is brightly colored, especially clear sleek/moist. 前几天连日大雨,到了昨夜才有停,此刻空气格外清爽,映入眼中的花树枝叶皆是色彩鲜亮,格外清润。 Today was the day of opening of the Profound Mansion. Here situated in academy north, is far with his dwelling place great distance, but in academy cannot use carriages and horses and other thing of riding instead of walking, therefore his alone walk goes. 今日是玄府开府之日。只是此处位于学宫北端,与他居处相隔较远,而学宫内又不许用车马等代步之物,所以他独自一人步行前往。 After walking continuously more than half Xia hour, he arrived at the boundary. 连续行走了半个多夏时后,他才到了地界。 The Profound Mansion palace pavilion backs on Mountain of Initiation, because the ritual rules standard is high, therefore three do not have any construction outward, surroundings obviously spacious incomparable, only has arch front door of straight paved avenue under to lead to outer city wall stage. 玄府宫阁背靠启山,因为礼制规格较高,所以向外三面不存在任何建筑,周围显然空旷无比,只有一条笔直的石板大道通向外郭城台下的拱形大门。 It can be seen that the paving on this avenue has not been repaired in a very long time, broken is incomplete, the weed spreads, the two sides are standing erect ancient broken stone columns, on each column head one fierce native god statue. 这条大道上的石板看得出很久没有修葺了,破碎残缺,杂草蔓延,两边矗立着一根根古旧残破的石柱,每一根柱头上都一座狰狞的土著神明的雕像。 This moment morning sun raises, but was actually covered by north Mountain of Initiation, Profound Mansion that grand palace pavilion and tower on a city wall continue to bury in the shadow, but that golden light still broke through the hindrance steadfastly, falls to the ground, and when passing through these statues projects the one after another long and narrow shadow. 此刻朝阳升起,但却被北面的启山所遮挡,玄府那宏伟的殿阁和城台继续埋藏在阴影中,只是那金光仍旧坚定不移突破阻碍,落向地面,并在经过那些雕像时投出一道道狭长的影子。 Zhang Yu looked at several, he does not know why academy or Profound Mansion kept here these ancient ruins, some constructions like capital, but rebuilt on old temple, rather than advanced comes again, but wants to come carefully, did that definitely also has its reason. 张御看了几眼,他不知道学宫或者玄府为什么将这些古代遗迹留在这里,就像首府的一些建筑,只是在旧神庙上进行改建,而不是推到重来,不过仔细想来,这么做肯定也是有其原因的。 Because of time also early, now here, only then he alone, thinks, took out a booklet and charcoal pencils from the clamp-shell bucket, is describing to these statues, knows not consciousness immersion. 因为时间还早,现在这里只有他一个人,想了想,就从夹兜中取出了一本小册和炭笔,对着那些雕像描摹起来,知不知觉就沉浸其中。 As the time passes by, in open area came the person to be gradually much, all was the scholars in some academy, but most people yearned the expectation exceeded the strength of this world, actually and had no understanding regarding cultivate the dao. 随着时间过去,空地上的来人逐渐多了起来,俱是一些学宫中的学子,不过多数人只是向往憧憬超越凡尘的力量,对于修道本身其实并没有什么了解。 Zhang Yu saw with own eyes that morning sun more rises to be higher, is precisely is coming to him, felt that slightly somewhat dazzling, prepares to look for a place that immediately evades the light. 张御眼见朝阳越升越高,且是正对着他而来,感觉略微有些刺目了,便就准备找一个避光的地方。 But he walked two steps, in the heart raises suddenly a strange feeling, steps pause, turns the head to look toward slanting above that above is squatting a bird body and human face statue, both wings restraining, the claw takes away the column head, the face is grinning to smile, looks evilly treacherous. 可他只是走了两步,心中忽然升起一种奇异的感觉,脚步一顿,转头往斜上方看去,那上面蹲着一个鸟身人脸的雕像,双翅收敛,爪扣柱头,面部正咧嘴而笑,看去邪恶诡谲。 With emphasis is not here, but is on this statue, is having a faint trace heat flow to send out. 重点不是在这里,而是这座雕像上,正有着一丝丝热流在散发出来。 On this, clearly has existence of source energy! 这上面,分明有着源能的存在！ He stops to observe. 他不由驻足而观。 „It's said that this statue is of a concubine that was extremely doted on by an evil God, the rest of the statues from here are not as beautiful and vivid as this one.” A sound resounds in side. “据说这是雕像是一个非常受邪神宠爱的侍妾,这里其余雕像，都不及这座精美生动。”一个声音在旁边响起。 Zhang Yu turns the head looks, the person of speech is a 20-year-old youth, same wears the auxiliary teacher clothes with him, the side follows fifteen or sixteen years of age, small youngster. 张御转首看去,说话的人是一个20多岁的青年,与他一样穿着辅教衣冠,身旁跟着一个十五六岁,个子矮小的少年。 He lifts the hand to bow with hands clasped, said: „Hasn't Zhang Yu, consulted?” 他抬手一揖,道:“张御,还未请教？” That youth smiles to return a courtesy, said: „brother Zhang, my Zheng Gao, this is my nephew Zheng Yu.” That young fellow salutes to Zhang Yu immediately earnestly, 那个青年一笑回礼,道:“张兄,我名郑高,这是我侄儿郑瑜。”那个少年人马上向张御认真行礼, The Zhang Yu vision falls on Zheng Yu body, to its nodded. 张御目光落在郑瑜身上,对其点了点头。 Zheng Gao asked curiously: „I just sees brother Zhang to paint here, does not dare to come up to disturb rashly, is it possible that is brother Zhang an artist?” 郑高好奇问道:“我方才见张兄在这里作画,不敢上来贸然打扰,张兄莫非是画师么？” Zhang Yu said: „My speciality is ancient natural history, saw these ancient remaining thing, then could not bear wants to study.” 张御道:“我的专学是古代博物学,见到这些古代遗存物,便忍不住就想研究一下。” „No wonder.” Zheng Gao suddenly, he said full of enthusiasm: „I on the ancient empire in legend to this stretch of land was am also very interested, but usually was only a person ponders over randomly, does not think to meet brother Zhang today......” “难怪了。”郑高恍然,他兴致勃勃道:“我对这片陆地上传说中的古代帝国也是十分有兴趣,怎奈平时只是一个人乱琢磨,不想今日遇见张兄……” This person seems talkative, opens the mouth not to see to stop, moreover does not need others saying that his nephew Zheng Yu standing is resigned-looking. 这个人似乎十分健谈,一开口就不见停下,而且根本不用别人接话,他的侄儿郑瑜站在旁边一脸无奈。 Zhang Yu sees this moment time also early, Profound Mansion has not arrived at opening the mansion time, oneself stand here just right absorb source energy, therefore is glad to accompany with him. 张御见此刻时间还早,玄府还未到开府的时候,自己站在这里正好吸摄源能,所以乐得与他奉陪。 However he soon discovered, Zheng Gao also understands something seriously, not is the nonsense, but also often can send out some original opinions, therefore he was also speaks to affirm several. 不过他很快发现,郑高也当真是懂一些东西的,并非全是胡言乱语,还每每能发出一些独到的见解,故他也是出言肯定了几句。 As the matter stands, Zheng Gao obtained the affirmation, the mood also surged upward. 只是这样一来,郑高获得了肯定,情绪也是更加高涨了。 After Zheng Gao said incessantly quick Xia hour, Profound Mansion that then resounds bell sound suddenly suddenly, Zheng Yu hurries to draw his sleeve, reminded: „Uncle, the bell rang, must enter Profound Mansion.” 在郑高滔滔不绝说了快一个夏时后,玄府忽然那便忽然响起一阵钟声,郑瑜赶紧一拉他的袖子,提醒道:“叔父,钟声响了,要进玄府了。” Zheng Gao pounded a lower jaw, as if somewhat had not given full expression. Usually but few people are willing to listen to his so lengthy speech, today satisfies a craving finally. He regrets saying: „brother Zhang, the bell rang three times, Profound Mansion can only enter cannot leave, today we talked can only stop.” 郑高砸吧了一下嘴,似乎有些意犹未尽。平时可是很少人愿意听他这般长篇大论的,今天总算过瘾了。他遗憾言道:“张兄,钟响三遍,玄府就只能进不能出,今日我们谈话只能到此为止了。” He has drawn Zheng Yu, arches cups the hands to Zhang Yu, said: „My this nephew is young, the experience are also few, this is also prepares to enter Profound Mansion cultivation, if brother Zhang is convenient, but also looks to look after slightly, is deeply grateful high.” 他拉过郑瑜,对张御拱拱手,道:“我这侄儿年纪还小,见识也少,今次也是准备入玄府修行,张兄若是方便,还望能稍加照拂,高感激不尽。” Zhang Yu this body is also only 17 years old, according to truth compared with Zheng Yu at the worst many, but as a person with two lives, the makings are quiet, itself graceful bearing divine elegance, in addition his body also wears the auxiliary teacher clothes, therefore no one regarding the person of this age will come to see. 张御此身也只有十七岁,按道理比郑瑜大不了多少,可他两世为人,气质沉静内敛,本身又丰姿神秀,再加上他身上还穿着辅教的衣冠,所以没人会把当成这个年纪的人来看。 His nodded, asked: „brother Zheng not with us together?” 他点了点头,问道:“郑兄不与我们一起么？” Zheng Gao laughs, beckons with the hand to say again and again: „I then do not go, I may be unable to bear that arid cultivation, was the research ancient relics is more interesting.” 郑高哈哈一笑,连连摆手道:“我便不去了,我可受不了那枯燥修持,还是研究古代遗物更有意思。” Zhang Yu looks at his one eyes, although this is this chatterbox, but actually understood what very much one wants is anything, is will see the goal to strengthen a person. 张御看他一眼,这位虽然是这个话痨,但却很懂得自身想要的是什么,是一个看准目标就会坚定走下去的人。 He observed spirit essence again, after all stands quite far, from just now absorbed to the present some, it seems like can only find the opportunity to come next time again, therefore cups the hands and says: „brother Zheng, then we'll part here now.” 他再察看了一下神元,毕竟站得比较远,从方才到现在只是吸取了些许,看来只能下次找机会再来了,于是拱手道:“郑兄,那我们就现在这里分别了。” Zheng Gao is also cups the hands, carries appearance/allow say/way: „brother Zhang, wish the good luck.” Afterward he looks to the oneself nephew. 郑高也是一拱手,端容道:“张兄,祝好运。”随后他看向自己的侄儿。 Zheng Yu is supine the face, anticipates the looks at oneself uncle, wants to obtain a similar encouragement blessing, a big hand covered, touches in his head, Zheng Gao shows the warm smile, „Little Yu, leaves reluctantly, even is not good, you have the uncle I.” 郑瑜仰起脸,期待看着自己的叔叔,也希望得到一句相似的鼓励祝福,一只大手盖了下来,摸在他的头上,郑高露出温暖的笑容,“小瑜,别勉强,就算不行,你还有叔父我呢。” You know that I am not good? 你就知道我不行了？ Are you my biological uncle? I did not want you! 你是我亲叔叔么？我不要你了！ A Zheng Yu face is suffering. 郑瑜一脸委屈。 After the parting of the both sides, Zhang Yu brings Zheng Yu to walk in the Profound Mansion front door direction, these wait for person outside are also one after another have the anticipation and exciting color flood into toward there, at least has more than hundred people evidently. 双方别过后,张御带着郑瑜往玄府大门方向走去,那些等候在外的人也是一个个带着期待和兴奋之色往那里涌入,看样子至少有百多人。 Passes through the big tower on a city wall entry with the people together, sees a double-eaved roof resting summit the main hall to stand erect in the front, this moment three palace gate open greatly, but inside situation how, because actually the ray issue is unable to see clearly. 与众人一起穿过高大的城台门洞,就见一座重檐歇山顶的大殿矗立在前方,此刻三座宫门都是大开,但是内面情形如何,却因为光线问题无法看清。 Before Zhang Yu arrives at the palace, raised head to wait and see a that big double-eaved roof, is stepping on the stone steps on. 张御走到殿前,仰头观望了一眼那高大重檐,就踩着石阶而上。 But is soon going to walk into, if he has a sleep/felt, looked back to look at one, sees the ray just right photo that threw to fall before the palace step, as if that was a clear boundary, the main hall divided two world inside and outside. 而在即将要走入进去的时候,他若有所觉,回首看了一眼,见那投下来的光线正好照落在殿阶之前,仿佛那是一条清晰的界限,将大殿内外分割成了两个世界。 He takes back the vision, flings the sleeve, without looking back stepped into the entrance. 他收回目光,一甩袖,头也不回的踏入了门庭。 Just now walks into the palace, he has a difference feeling, the surroundings thing as if all completely eliminates, an air-to-air boundless, only oneself person stands in this place. 方才步入殿,他就生出一种异样感觉,周围事物似乎皆尽消去,空空茫茫,唯独自己一人站在此间。 At this time he hidden had a sleep/felt, caught the eye, then saw above palace stage that the front rose up, big sleeve daoist stood there, was only hidden in a gentle ray, when was careful, that daoist also looked, the vision touched with him. 这时他隐有所觉,一抬眼,便见前方高起的殿台之上,有一名大袖道人站在那里,只是隐于一片柔和的光芒之中,正待仔细时,那道人也是看了过来,目光与他一触。 Bang! 轰！ He only thinks that during the consciousness shakes loudly, later in as if endless darkness has a light to blast out, then discovered that oneself stands under great radiant light screen. 他只觉意识之中轰然一震,随后仿佛无尽黑暗之中有一道光亮炸开,而后便发现自己站在一圈宏大璀璨的光幕之下。 He raises the head to look, sees on that light screen to inlay rows of seal, good, if silver star, but the handwriting in seal is fuzzy exceptionally, does not see clearly. 他仰首看去,就见那光幕上嵌有一排排章印,好若银星点点,只是印内的字迹都是模糊异常,看不清楚。 Is this...... Grand Dao Chapter? 这是……大道之章？ In his heart doubts side health/life, then felt a unfathomable thought to transmit, and mapped in his inner world directly, bewildered understood meaning. 他心中疑惑方生,便感一股莫测意念就传递了过来,并直接映入了他的心海之中,莫名其妙的就理解了其中的意思。 If you want to cultivate the profound techniques, you must first understand your self only from the Dao Chapter. 要修行玄法，那首先要只有在道章之中认识自我。 The self is the foundation of everything, the place of genesis. Only by understanding my self can I separate from all the living things in the Grand Dao, hereby ascending to that place of infinite height and vastness. 我是一切的根本，是起始的所在。唯有明了自我，方能在大道之中将我与万事万物区分开来，才可由此向上攀登，去到那无限高渺之处。 as a person with two lives, his understanding of the self is extremely profound and he cares even more about the existence of his own self, this obsession is exceptionally intense, when almost understanding those unfathomable ideas, the numerous seals above the light curtain suddenly disappeared, apart from that lustrous radiance that's still before one's eyes. 他两世为人,对我的认知极其深刻，对自我的存在更是无比在意,这执念异常之炽烈,几乎就在理解那莫测意念的一瞬间，那光幕之上的诸多章印骤然消隐，唯独一枚依旧光辉灿灿，存于眼前。 This is the significance of the own self seal! 这就是代表自我存在的那枚章印！ Must read this seal, at this moment also needs a thing. 只是要读取这枚章印,此刻还需要一件东西。 The thought just now changes to here, he felt that a faint spirit essence is gradually produced in his body under the influence of that idea, is only the quantity are not very many. 念头方才转到这里,他感觉身躯之中有一丝丝神元在那意念影响之下被逐渐催生了出来,只是数量并不十分多。 Under his heart changed mind, takes advantage of opportunity pushed to that seal spirit essence that these came out. 他心下一转念,顺势就将这些多出来的神元推向了那枚章印。 Meanwhile, the name of that seal is to also become clear: 与此同时,那章印之名也是变得清晰起来: self existence! “存我”！ This seal stands, then saw six seal to take him to derive as the beginning, formed a great-circle outside, the mutual engagement, the arrangement was neat, appearing like red writing carved in relief, was seemingly pleasant, totally different from the seals carved intaglio he saw before, full of damages and indentations. 这个章印一立,便见又有六个章印以其为起点衍生了出来,在外形成了一个大圆,相互衔接,排列规整有序,呈现出朱文阳刻之貌,看起来赏心悦目,与他之前所见满是残缺齿痕的白文阴刻章印可谓完全不同。 There is one character on top of these six seals, respectively is eye, ear, mouth, nose, body and idea, but their brightness is far inferior to the Self Existence Seal. 这六枚章印上面各有一字,分别是眼、耳、口、鼻、身、意,只是远不及“存我”之印明亮。 When he is just about carefully to look, that light screen swiftly powder, collects, at present the scenery also changes. 他正要仔细看时,那光幕倏尔一散,就此敛去,眼前景物也是随之一变。 He discovered that oneself stands in that spacious main hall as before, but not far away is standing Zheng Yu and in addition has the scattered ten scholars, on their moment faces brings to be astonished and confused. 他发现自己依旧站在那空旷大殿之中,而不远处站着郑瑜及另外还有稀稀落落十来个学子,他们此刻脸上都是带着惊异与迷茫。 „everyone gentleman.” A mellow sound from the front transmits. “诸位君子。”一个醇厚声音自前方传来。 Zhang Yu raised the head, looked at the past toward sound whereabouts, saw a year to make the forty years of age, body body width fat big daoist stood there, but saw with he just was not the same person. 张御抬起头,往声音所在之处看过去,就见一个年约四旬,身体宽胖的高大道人站在那里,不过与他方才所见的并非是同一个人。 That daoist smile is temperate, said: „The everyone gentleman can succeed to induce Profound Mansion to give you read Grand Dao Chapter, and successfully planted Self Existence Seal, from now henceforth, was my profound cultivator lineage hanger-on.” 那道人笑容温和,道:“诸位君子能成功感应玄府给予你们观读的大道之章,并且成功种下了‘存我’之印,从今以后,便是我玄修一脉门下了。” Zhang Yu lowers the head slightly, in the heart ponders saying: „Really is Grand Dao Chapter?” 张御微微低头,心中忖道:“果然是大道之章么？” But the question came, if just now sees is Grand Dao Chapter, before that teacher, teaches oneself that what is also? 可是疑问不禁来了,如果方才见到的才是大道之章,那老师之前教给自己的那个,又是什么呢？ The daoist looks at people absent-minded uncertain facial expression, smiles, said: „My Xiang Chun, Profound Leader entrusts me to manage inside and outside Profound Mansion all things, the everyone gentleman, if has what question, now can ask me.” 道人看着众人恍惚不定的神情,笑了一笑,道:“我名项淳,玄首嘱托我主理玄府内外诸事,诸位君子若有什么疑问,现下可以问我。” Zheng Yu young man looked at the surroundings, hesitated, emboldening stood, he to the front earnest ritual, was saying: „Student Zheng Yu, may I ask Chief Xiang, except for me and others, does not know where the others did go to?” 郑瑜小郎看了看周围,迟疑了一下,壮着胆子站出来,他对着前方认真一礼,道:“学生郑瑜,敢问项主事,除了我等,不知余下之人又去了哪里？” Xiang Chun said with a smile: „young man Zheng felt relieved and, these scholars cannot induce Grand Dao Chapter, then naturally aren't fated with my Profound Mansion, now has left safely.” 项淳笑道:“郑小郎且放心,这些学子感应不到大道之章,那自是与我玄府无缘,现在都已是平安离开了。” Zheng Yu implored the one breath, reveals the happy color, does obeisance again, said: „Thanks chief to dispel doubt.” 郑瑜吁了一口气,露出开心之色,再是一拜,道:“谢谢主事解惑。” Xiang Chun looks to the people, the vision slow moves, said: „What does the everyone gentleman have to ask?” 项淳看向众人,目光缓移,道:“诸位君子还有什么要问么？” Zhang Yu pondered, he wants to know that very oneself previously learned the bottom is anything, has anything to distinguish with Grand Dao Chapter that just now sees, but his instinct thinks that this matter cannot disclose to the outside, even inquired, cannot to see his original wish. 张御思考了一下,他十分想知道自己此前所学到底是什么,与方才所见到的大道之章又有什么区别,可他本能觉的,这件事绝不能对外透露,即便提问,也不能让人看出他的本来意愿。 He thinks, in the heart has the idea, to above joins palms and bows, was saying: „Student Zhang Yu, the question, wants to consult Chief Xiang.” 他想了一想,心中已是有了主意,对着上方合手一揖,道:“学生张御,有一疑问,想要请教项主事。” Xiang Chun says with a genial expression: „Does the Gentleman Zhang knowledge have what words to ask?” 项淳神情和善道:“张君子知有何话要问？” Zhang Yu is slightly supine, the clear and resonant voice leaves said: „Student just now remembered a few words, a verse from 《Winds of Xia》, wants to come the we Celestial Xia person to hear.” His gaze looks above, said: „The Grand Dao, Profound and Chaotic, bears the universe; the Celestial City broke millions of clouds to arrive, ‚The Grand Dao, Profound and Chaotic, bears the universe’, what's the explanation?” 张御把头微微仰起,朗声出言道:“学生方才想起了一句话,乃是《夏风》中的一句,想来我辈天夏人皆有听闻。”他目注看着上方,道:“大道玄浑乾坤载，天城百万裂云来,其中‘大道玄浑乾坤载’一句,何解？” all students on the scene also many looks the thinking. The words and phrases in Winds of Xia they are familiar, but explained is actually many and varied , there is nothing the theory of unification. Especially this first, involves the Grand Dao change without doubt, perhaps except for Profound Mansion, no one can make explains correctly? 在场诸学子也多是面露思索。夏风中的词句他们可谓耳熟能详,可其中的解释却是多种多样,无有统一之论。尤其是这第一句,无疑是涉及到了大道变化,恐怕除了玄府,无人能做出正确的解释了吧？ Xiang Chun is actually the facial expression changes, he has not replied immediately, but fell into went silent, whom seemed like seems like listening to speak but actually, long time, he sighed: „Originally these should not speak of you today, but this Gentleman Zhang, since asked that that simply together and everyone gentleman knew.” 项淳却是神情微变,他并没有立刻回答,而是陷入了沉默去,看上去倒好像是在听谁说话,半晌,他叹道:“本来这些不该在今日与你们说及,不过这位张君子既然问起,那就索性一并道与诸位君子知晓了。” all the students heard, revealed the color of attention all. 诸学子一听,无不是露出了关注之色。 The Xiang Chun deep vision looks to under everyone, sinking sound said: „ The Grand Dao Chapter is the Dao's carrier, we cultivate dao techniques by reading this thing and comprehending the principles of the Grand Dao that it contains, but all living things are divided into Yin and Yang, the nature develops the heaven and the earth, and this thing is no exception...... „ 项淳深沉目光看向底下所有人,沉声道:“大道之章乃是道之载器,我辈修炼者修持道法，就是通过观读此物，领悟其中的大道之理,不过万物分阴阳，造化演乾坤，此物也并非唯一……“ „The Grand Dao Chapter is divided into the Profound Chapter and the Chaotic Chapter, you learn/study, is Profound Chapter of the Grand Dao, is righteous chapter of the Grand Dao! As for Chaotic Chapter of the Grand Dao......” “大道之章分作玄章和浑章两部,你们所学习的,乃是大道玄章,亦是大道之正章！至于大道浑章……” His paused, facial expression incomparably serious saying: „You must listen to be clear, Chaotic Chapter of the Grand Dao counteracts the correct path, is evil chapter! And people that use the Chaotic Chapter to advance in cultivation are our great enemies!” 他顿了一下,神情无比严肃的说道:“你们要听清楚了,大道浑章有悖于正道,乃是恶章！而用浑章进行修持之人，那便是吾辈之大敌！” ...... …… ...... ……
