In the The Thornheart cabin, Zhang Yu discovered that oneself fell the baggage on The Great Fortune is placed here, outside also wrapped a fabric covering, appropriateness of very taking care. 棘心号的客舱中,张御发现自己落在大福号上的行李都被摆在了这里,外面还套了一层布罩,保管的很是妥帖。 He inspected, has not lacked anything, not changed sign. Actually in this before several him strange monster this/Ben who describes, has no specially valuable thing. 他检查了一下,并未缺少什么,也没有被人翻动的迹象。其实这里面除了几本他以前描摹下来的异怪图本,也没有什么特别有价值的东西。 After tidies up, he remembered at the banquet Zhao Xiangcheng just now to gathering of oneself. 待重新收拾好后,他不由想起了宴席上赵相乘方才对自己的招揽。 Gives the devil his due, enters some Serenity Survey Corps also many advantage, but gets a side label prematurely is not the good deed. 平心而论,进入安巡会也有不少好处,可过早的打上一方标签也不是什么好事。 He arrives at the goal of capital primarily is to learn/study new techniques, simultaneously seeks for many replenishing spirit essence items, temporarily has not wanted to be involved in the right struggle between Rising Sea islands and in the capital. 他到首府的目的主要是为了学习新法,同时寻找到更多补充神元的物品,暂时还并不想卷入腾海诸岛与首府之间的权利斗争中。 Naturally he was also clear that something cannot avoid actually, may only have to have the enough strong strength, can guarantee that oneself was not easily manipulated. 当然他也清楚有些事情实际是避不开的,可唯有拥有了足够强的力量,才能保证自己不被人轻易摆弄。 After appears in court sits down, he draws out from the scabbard Xia Sword, looks at is exuding the flickering jade sword blade, from saluting turns out together the thin fabric, cleans carefully. 来到案后坐下,他把夏剑从剑鞘中拔出,看着泛着荧荧玉色的剑身,从行礼中翻出一块细绒,仔细擦拭起来。 This sword is magical item, after killing the enemy, is not stained with the blood, is not tainted by this world's affairs, under normal conditions does not need to conduct special cleaning up, his action is actually one type with the way that sword communicates. 这把剑是法器,在杀敌之后,不沾血,不染尘,通常情况下没有必要进行专门的清理,他这种举动其实是一种与剑器沟通的方式。 With young salamander one post-war, he felt that the oneself spirit has sublimated, between the person and sword also had subtle involvement. At this moment attempts to breathe several times, felt that this sword imitates , if there is life to be the same, is maintaining a marvelous rhythm along with his aura together, seems being promoted by his thought that will let go to fly. 与夭螈一战后,他感觉自己的精神有所升华,人与剑之间也有了一种微妙的牵连。此刻尝试着呼吸几次,就感觉这把剑仿若有生命一般,伴随着他的气息一同保持着一种奇妙的律动,似乎由着他的意念推动,就会脱手飞去。 He does not know that this feeling came from where, but according to the view of his teacher, when the person and sword agree with completely, will have all sorts of wonderful appearances, for example above the sword blade the reappearing sword name, the sword blade becomes sharp, even soars vertical spatial wait/etc. 他不知道这种感觉从何而来,不过按照他老师的说法,等到人与剑完全契合的时候,就会有种种神妙出现,譬如剑身之上浮现剑名,剑刃变得更为锐利,甚至飞腾纵空等等。 He thought that is not necessarily have such a day, because this sword after all is not oneself personally refining, psychologically has a little barrier eventually, but the present stage has not needed to consider these. 只是他觉得未必会有这么一天,因为这把剑毕竟不是自己亲手祭炼的,在心理上终究是存在那么一点隔阂的,不过现阶段还不需要考虑这些。 But this moment outside, until the day, this had come back the talent of help to process the young salamander corpse, prepared to start to return immediately. Only at this time, Ming Yi actually came in the cabin to find Zhang Yu, said: „young man Zhang, Divine Army just now some people come this, said that wants to see one side you, but kept off by Chief Zhao, chief remised young man Zhang to say one, must blame him to independently decide not.” 而此刻外间,直到过了日中,这回来援之人才处理好了夭螈的尸体,便就准备启程返航了。只在这时,明乙却来客舱中找到张御,道:“张少郎,神尉军方才有人来此,说想要见你一面,不过被赵主事挡回去了,主事让与张少郎说一声,莫要怪他自作主张。” Zhang Yu can see Chief Zhao is a good intention, said: „Thanks Chief Zhao for me.” 张御能看出赵主事是一番好意,道:“替我谢谢赵主事。” Ming Yi shows the smile, said: „Will have the words below.” 明乙露出笑容,道:“在下会把话带到的。” Getting down range safe/without matter, by after at nightfall, attendant sounded the Zhang Yu cabin door, said that is Zhao Xiangcheng asks him to have the evening banquet, he actually turned down, replaces by pill that carries along as before, then replaces the sleep by breathing, rested in this safely a evening. 下来航程一路无事,到入夜后,有一名随从过来敲响了张御的舱门,说是赵相乘请他共进晚宴,他却是婉拒了,依旧是以随身携带的丹丸代替,而后则是以吐纳呼吸取代睡眠,安心在此休歇了一晚。 By the day daybreak, Zhang Yu will feel suddenly the ambient temperature becomes very comfortable, knows that the ships soon arrived at capital Auspicious Light, therefore set out to wash, has used the fine breakfast in the cabin, arrived in the tower deck, looked into the distance. 到了天将破晓,张御忽然感觉到周围温度变得十分舒适,知道船只快要到首府瑞光了,于是起身洗漱,在间舱里用过精致的早点,就来到了楼台甲板上,眺望远方。 Stands in the bow, he has been able to look at the land in clearly the outline and that horizon turns toward Mountain of Serenity mountain range that north-south both sides be continuous go out. Eastern Court Protectorate Capital Auspicious Light is situated in Mountain of Serenity west, Dawn River middle reaches. 站在船头,他已能清楚望到陆地的轮廓和那地平线上向着南北两端绵延出去的安山山脉。东廷都护府首府瑞光就坐落在安山之西,旦河中游。 It is said Celestial Xia established more than 800 Protectorate in the past, Eastern Court Protectorate is only one of them. 据说天夏当年建立八百多个都护府,东廷都护府只是其中之一。 But Eastern Court also has its unique element, here is the most far-end of Celestial Xia territory east territory, is Celestial Xia Protectorate of only one on stationed in this piece of unknown continent. 而东廷也自有其特殊之处,这里是天夏疆土东域的最远端,是唯一一个驻扎这片未知大陆上的天夏都护府。 As the The Thornheart landward direction approaches, covers Auspicious Light City in dawn in his eyes also gradually becomes clear. 随着棘心号向陆地方向靠近,笼罩在晨光中的瑞光城在他眼里也是渐渐变得清晰起来。 This is a broad in scale firm city, the surface toward Rising Sea, back backing Mountain of Initiation constructs, the most conspicuous inner city is located in a stretch of standing tall and erect terrace, Xia Gazing Stage, Protectorate Government, Peaceful Sun Academy, Temple of Sages wait/etc rules and regulations high constructions there. 这是一座规模宏大的坚城,面朝腾海,背后依托启山而建,最显眼的内城位于一片高耸的台地上,望夏台、都护衙署、泰阳学宫、贤哲祠等等规制较高的建筑都在那里。 But under the terrace architectural complex the height along the terrain that fluctuates unfolds, what most outside along expanding to sea level is Dawn Harbor, because the entire city was clamped between Mountain of Initiation and coast, therefore roughly presents a quite long and narrow distribution of north south. 而台地下方的建筑群则沿着高低起伏的地形铺开,最外沿扩张到海面上的是旦港,由于整个城址被夹在启山和海岸中间,所以大体呈现出一个南北走向的较为狭长的分布。 Eastern Court Protectorate has about the population 3 million, Auspicious Light City occupied 1/3. 东廷都护府约有人口三百万,瑞光城就占据了三分之一。 Here Celestial Xia person probably 200,000, remaining mostly are serenese, serenese and hybrid descendant of Celestial Xia person, some are naturalization barbarian of native nation. 这里的天夏人大概有二十万,剩下大多是安人、安人和天夏人的混血后裔,还有一些则是是土著邦国的归化蛮人。 Behind Mountain of Initiation, on Mountain of Serenity mountain range of distant place, the aloof snowy peak stands erect under vault of heaven, resembles a sketch that in heaven and earth inserts suddenly, only looks at that arrogant steep posture, makes one hold the breath. 在启山背后,远处的安山山脉上,有一座高冷雪峰屹立在天穹之下,恍似天地之中嵌入的一个剪影,只看那孤高峻拔之姿,就让人为之屏息。 In the local native language, this snowy peak is called „Krigris”, intent „Lonely Celestial Goddess”. 在当地的土著语里,这座雪峰叫作“乞格里斯”,意即“孤独的天女神”。 In the past when the Protectorate's army had not set foot on this lands, Vice-Protector Yang Gong who saw from afar at sea this solitary peak standing upright within mountain region, blurted to say „The number one peak who is friends with the Heaven and has the same longevity, pushed across thousands of miles” these words. 当年都护府的大军还没有踏上这片土地时,副都护杨恭在海上远远看见壮阔山势中挺立的这座孤拔高峰,就脱口说出了“与天同寿谁为友，横推万里第一峰”这句话。 After this is the Celestial Xia person arrives, the mountain peak that only has not changed name, still calls Goddess Peak. Constructs a Celestial Xia beacon tower there, the hearsay after there point the beacon-fire, even the Celestial Xia native place can see. 这是天夏人到来后,唯一没有改名的山峰,至今仍叫神女峰。在那里建有一处天夏烽火台,传闻在那里点起烽火后,连天夏本土都能望见。 Zhang Yu is waiting and seeing, the sound of footsteps gets up, Zhao Xiangcheng walked, stands with him shoulder to shoulder, the looks at present scenery, he sighs with emotion: „After the past customs duties big Protector to here, once said "The sun and the moon pass through the sky and the auspicious light came forth", the Auspicious Light Capital takes its name from this.” 张御正在观望的时候,身后脚步声起,赵相乘走了过来,与他并肩而立,看着眼前的景物,他感慨道:“当年关征大都护到了这里后曾说‘日月经天，瑞光出焉’,首府瑞光也是由此得名。” Zhang Yu said: „The Protectorate remote region people said here City of Good Fortune, occupied here, poor can result in the warm and sufficient condition, wealth can enjoy dead a natural death.” 张御道:“都护府偏远地界的民众都说这里福瑞之城,居此处者,贫者能得温饱,富者能享善终。” Zhao Xiangcheng sighed one, said: „Let us hope so, right, young man Zhang, after you arrived at the capital, can have the staying place?” 赵相乘叹了一声,道:“但愿如此吧,对了,张少郎,你到了首府后,可有下榻的地方么？” Zhang Yu said: „I've never been to the capital before, not familiar place.” 张御道:“我之前从未来过首府,并没有熟悉的地方。” Zhao Xiangcheng puts out name card from the sleeve cuff, gave him, said: „The city south has Serenity Residence, it's my Serenity Survey Corps's property, If nothing else, the security considered the no worries. You hold my name card to arrive there, some people will entertain quite your.” 赵相乘从袖口里拿出一张名帖,递给了他,道:“城南有一处安庐居,是我安巡会的产业,别的不说,安全当是无虞。你持我的名帖到那里,会有人好生招待你的。” Zhang Yu receives, said: „I was actually disrespectful.” 张御接了过来,道:“那我就却之不恭了。” Zhao Xiangcheng said with a smile: „Minor matter.” 赵相乘笑道:“小事。” Three warships are the running free full sail the line, the speed is extremely fast, in seeing Auspicious Light City shortly, entered the Dawn Harbor waters outside city. 三艘战船都是顺风满帆而行,速度极快,在看到瑞光城没多久,就进入了城外的旦港水域。 In the harbor anchored at this moment 110 big and small ships, the white sail forest, the swarming sounds of people and gull sound are lingering on faintly. 港口里此刻停泊了百十艘大小船只,白帆成林,远远近近的人声与鸥鸟声不绝于耳。 Before the inland waterway has not cleared, here earliest is the Protectorate's naval port, has seven dock, may hold 40 warships also to anchor, but now cargo that ships from the Rising Sea islands and inland river course, now majority gather here. 在内河航道没有开通之前,这里最早是都护府的军港,拥有七个码头,可容纳四十艘战船同时停泊,而现在从腾海诸岛和内陆河道运来的货物,如今大多数在这里汇聚。 After wielding flag indicator, The Thornheart was coursed dock. 在挥动旗语后,棘心号被引向了其中一个码头。 The crew drops out the hook rope, comes ashore by the boat belt/bring, above will have the person hanging on the capstan, will then draw in the warship under the rotation the berth slowly. 船员纷纷抛下钩索,由小船带上岸,上面自有人将之挂在绞盘上,然后在转动之下将战船缓缓拖入泊位之中。 Zhang Yu noticed at this time, is responsible for rotating the people of capstan is some old men, each one graying at the temples, the light the sturdy arm, has with the age incompatible strong body, the beard of everyone blows very cleanly, the vision is also especially has god. 张御这时留意到,负责转动绞盘的人多是一些老者,个个两鬓斑白,光着粗壮的臂膀,有着与年龄不匹配的强壮身体,每个人的胡须都刮得很干净,目光也是格外有神。 Zhao Xiangcheng notices his vision, explained: „These elderly men are 60 years ago participated in Battle of the Hong River Pass old soldier, now is also left over 153 people, because of certain reasons, they worked to the harbor voluntarily, do not visit them to be old, but if on the battlefield, the array fought, young army soldier also not necessarily could compete with them.” 赵相乘注意到他的目光,解释道:“这些老人家都是六十年前参加洪河隘口战斗的老卒了,现在还剩下一百五十三人,因为某些缘故,他们自愿到港口来做工,别看他们年纪大,可要是上了战场,列阵而战,年轻军卒也未必敌得过他们。” Zhang Yu nods slowly, 60 years ago Battle of the Hong River Pass are quite frigid, can say that completely changes the Protectorate later trend, these old soldier at least also over 70 years old, but average lifespan of Celestial Xia person when about 100 years old, if young the background of overcoming is good, the food intake can follow, this age maintains the strong physique is not but actually difficult. 张御缓缓点头,六十年前的洪河隘口之战极为惨烈,可以说完全改变都护府之后的走向,这些老卒至少也有七十多岁了,不过天夏人的平均寿命在一百岁左右,要是年轻时打下的底子好,食物摄取又跟得上的话,这个年纪保持强壮的筋骨倒也不难。 At this time dock heard an intermittent clamoring sound, was actually that huge young salamander that drew the harbor triggered the stir here. 这时码头传来一阵阵喧哗声,却是那头拖进海港的巨大夭螈在这里引发了轰动。 Zhao Xiangcheng looks at the warship that this The Thornheart entered port, thinks, reminded: „young man Zhang, you must be careful Divine Army, they in marine do not dare to be meddlesome, however in the capital, is actually their jurisdiction area. If experiences anything, looks for Serenity Residence's Mr. Yue, he will help your.” 赵相乘看了一眼这艘紧接着棘心号入港的战船,想了一想,提醒道:“张少郎,你要小心神尉军,他们在海上不敢多事,但是在首府内,却是他们的辖界。如果遇到什么事,找安庐居的岳先生,他会帮你的。” Zhang Yu indicated to understand clearly, a young salamander benefit had many him is very greatly clear, why this was also he from the beginning in the protection in the Divine Army person. 张御表示了然,一头夭螈的利益有多大他很清楚,这也是为什么他一开始就在防备在神尉军的人。 Under the hook rope hauling, The Thornheart approached shore steadily. After his again thanks Zhao Xiangcheng, on parted with them. 在钩索牵引之下,棘心号稳稳靠岸了。他再次谢过赵相乘后,就与其别过。 He puts on hat of cape, grasps Xia Sword, is raising the suitcase, disembarks along arm rest beam steps who cross builds. 他将斗篷的遮帽戴上,手持夏剑,提着行李箱,沿着跨搭的扶手梁梯下了船。 He just dropped the foot on dock, has not walked with enough time, the feeling ground vibrated slightly, under the heart unconsciously one cold, is this...... the earthquake? 只是他才刚刚在码头上落下脚,还未来得及走出去,就感觉地面微微震动了一下,心下不觉一凛,这是……地震？ But he, when looks to elsewhere, the discovery surrounding person is not unusual, resembles does not have to think. 可他当看向别处时,却发现周围的人并无异样,似是对此毫无所觉。 He depresses in the heart the question, observed around one, sees to the direction of path, the ancient jade outer gate is standing erect high, immediately recognizes this is famous „Gate of Triumph”, initially Protectorate was a big military compound, this outer gate also stood together, afterward had not demolished, was preserved the present. 他压下心中疑问,又观察了一下四周,见正对道路的方向,有一座古旧的玉辕门高高矗立着,立时认出这是有名的“得胜门”,当初都护府就是一个大军营,这辕门也是随之一同立起来的,后来也一直没有拆除,被保存到了现在。 That might be called on the symmetrical fine magnificent jade upturned eave actually lack an obvious corner/horn, destroyed the original aesthetic sense, this lets his person who has the obsession looks especially not comfortably. 只是那本来堪称对称精美华丽的玉飞檐上却缺了明显的一角,破坏了原来的美感,这让他这种有着强迫症的人看得格外不舒服。 He tries hard to put aside the vision, happen to sees nearby to have several newspaper vendors, walked to go forward to give several copper coins, bought various newspapers in three days, on the without looking back outward line. 他努力移开目光,正好看见附近有几名报贩,走上前给了几个铜板,将三天内的各类报纸都是买了一份,就头也不回往外行去。 But another side this time, was dragged out the young salamander corpse that comes ashore to stir up the people in harbor is wells up to surround, but in the crowd has a person, the person who the surroundings passed by unconsciously far away from him, will actually encircle in his around the body vacated a circle, but also no one discovers the difference. 而此时另一边,被拖上岸的夭螈尸体惹得港口上的人都是涌过来围观,可人群中有一个人,周围路过的人却会在不自觉中远离他,在他的身周围空出了一个圈子,可偏偏还没有一个人发现异样。 This person facial features are handsome, physique tall pull, head crown, but is combing rare daoist topknot, on his looks at dump site the young salamander corpse, the vision transferred in that sword cut, the finger knocked two to knock on sword that the waist was hanging gently, ponders smiles, said: „junior brother, found you.” 这个人面容俊挺,身姿高拔,头上并不着冠,而是梳着少见的道髻,他看着堆场上夭螈的尸体,目光在那道剑伤上转了一圈,手指在腰间悬挂的佩剑上轻轻敲了两敲,玩味一笑,道:“师弟,找到你了。” ...... …… ...... ……
