Next day. 翌日。 Sky Prison. 天牢。 Zhou Yi is carrying the beheading food, arrives at Cell C9. 周易拎着断头饭,来到丙九号狱。 A piece of white clothing white clothing, four sons and three daughters lie down on the ground neatly, does not have the aura. Side mourning dress female paralysis on the ground, both eyes intently. 一片白衣素裹,四儿三女整齐躺在地上,已经没了气息。旁的孝服女子瘫在地上,双目直愣愣空洞。 Li Xiong stands in the firmness, looks at Zhou Yi to come indifferently. 李雄站在牢中,冷眼看着周易过来。 „You, and records, this generals and wife and children are waiting here, when Li Wu came to tell him!” “你且记着,本将军与妻儿都在这里等着,待李武进来了告诉他！” Zhou Yi sees the tragedy that the father kills the children, the brow slightly wrinkle, looks at about the prison cell again, does not have any prison guard on duty, in the heart has understood clearly. 周易见牢中父杀子女的惨剧,眉头微皱,再看牢房左右,没有任何狱卒值守,心中已经了然。 The royal government does not plan to execute publicly, hints Li Xiong Sky Prison to commit suicide in fear of punishment. 朝廷不打算公开行刑,示意李雄天牢畏罪自杀。 „Great General discharges official duties in an honest manner, will be meritorious, can with enjoying the imperial ancestral temple history in the future leaves a good name.” Zhou Yi yesterday and Li Xiong spoke, has stemmed from slaughters the indignation of common people, passed the moment slightly obviously. “大将军廉洁奉公,功勋卓著,日后能配享太庙青史留名。”周易昨天与李雄说话,已经出于屠戮百姓的愤慨,稍显逾矩。 How today possibly to discuss Li Wu and royal government absurdly, even if hundred officers wish one could to execute the Li nine generations, in the surface must commend the loyal Monarch body country. 今日怎么可能妄议李武与朝廷,纵使百官恨不得诛李家九族,表面上也得称赞忠君体国。 „He will come, I am waiting for him!” “他会来的,我等着他！” Li Xiong said, wields the palm to hit the woman forehead , the waving racket approaches own head. 李雄说完,挥掌击中妇人额头,又挥手拍向自己脑袋。 The couple both skull disruption dies. 夫妻二人双双头骨碎裂而死。 „One had only known, regret past doings!” “早知如此,何必当初！” Zhou Yi does intentionally the flustered going out greeting prison guard, lifts from the prison cell Li Xiong one, has the Li clansman to gather up dead bodies, as for can enter the ancestral grave not to know. 周易故作慌张的出去招呼狱卒,将李雄一家从牢房抬出去,自有李家族人来收尸,至于能不能入祖坟就不知道了。 „Today the mood is unsatisfactory, choosing a unlucky egg to display the demon merit!” “今日心情不佳,选个倒霉蛋施展魔功！” Zhou Yi is carrying the nice wine good vegetable/dish, arrives at No. 12 A prison swayingly. 周易拎着好酒好菜,晃晃悠悠来到甲12号狱。 Criminals build grandiose like bear, compares zhang (3.33 m) two punishment also to be higher than half head unexpectedly, on the shiny bald several scars of knife wound will interlock, belong some common people on the avenue to report that the thief will enter a city. 犯人体型壮硕如熊,竟比丈二刑架还高出半个头颅,锃亮光头上几道刀疤交错,属于走在大街上都会有百姓举报贼人进城。 The criminals shot a look at a wine and meat, licked the lip: „Today was one's turn this Sir?” 犯人瞥了眼酒肉,舔了舔嘴唇:“今日轮到本大爷了？” „Your this boy also very knows the business.” “你这厮还挺懂行。” Zhou Yi suspends the food and wine, clamped the chopsticks meat to deliver to the criminal mouth. 周易将酒菜摆好,夹了筷子肉送到犯人嘴边。 The criminals are impolite, eats the meat to drink happily, finally hit a belch: „This Sir has heard outside, in Sky Prison has a prison guard, suffers the rivers and lakes expert happily, no one can very its torture.” 犯人也不客气,痛快吃肉喝酒,最后打了个饱嗝:“本大爷在外面就听说过,天牢中有个狱卒,最喜折磨江湖高手,无人能挺过其酷刑。” „Do I really have the reputation on the rivers and lakes?” “我竟然在江湖上还有名声？” Zhou Yi returns hears this matter, he 2.1, never cares about the rivers and lakes deliberation hall every day. 周易头回听说此事,他每日两点一线,从不关心江湖朝堂。 The criminals said: „Rivers and lakes call your blood prison old demon, passed on a message your entire family dead of the rivers and lakes expert, so will be cruel and merciless.” 犯人说道:“江湖唤你血狱老魔,传言你全家死于江湖高手,才会如此心狠手辣。” „Old demon?” “老魔？” Zhou Yi looked at the flower white hair, nods slightly: „Nickname is good, quite had the imposing manner, the rivers and lakes people of same belief erroneous approves!” 周易看了看花白色头发,微微颔首:“外号不错,颇有气势,江湖同道们谬赞了！” Criminal cold sound said: „Your this boy is the turtle to be common, hides does not go out in Divine Capital, otherwise made one kill early!” 犯人冷声道:“你这厮属乌龟一般,躲在神京不出去,否则早让人打死了！” „Perhaps they have come Divine Capital, but no one knows.” “或许他们来过神京,只是没人知道。” Zhou Yi in the Divine Capital yard, but in the two years lively, in the institute the jujube tree growth is very exuberant, the had date colleague commended delicious. 周易在神京的小院,这两年可是热闹的很,院中枣树生长旺盛,结出的枣子同僚纷纷称赞香甜可口。 Perhaps is rivers and lakes expert Body Tempering has, the date that the flesh implication special energy, plants is not common. 或许是江湖高手锻体有成,血肉蕴含特殊能量,种出来的枣子也不一般。 Zhou Yi plans to plant a grape again, asking the colleague to taste the flavor. 周易打算再种棵葡萄,请同僚尝尝味道。 „This Sir does not believe that today tries your torture.” “本大爷就不信了,今天就试试你的酷刑。” The criminals happily said: „In the past violated the buddhist commandment against taking life in the temple, 18 monks broke the punishment stick, Sir I same very!” 犯人得意道:“当年在寺中犯了杀戒,十八位武僧将刑棍都打断了,大爷我一样挺过来了！” „Originally is the Buddhism outstanding disciple, loses the respect to lose the respect.” “原来是佛门高徒,失敬失敬。” Zhou Yi tidies up the tableware, the palm pastes in the criminal dantian place, revolution Devouring Heaven Demon Merit. 周易收拾好碗筷,手掌贴在犯人丹田处,运转吞天魔功。 Vigorous inner qi such as opens the sluice gates to turn on the water, flows out from criminal within the body, but the moment time, swallows cleanly criminal dantian inner qi. 浑厚内气如开闸放水,从犯人体内流出,不过片刻时间,将犯人丹田内气吞噬干净。 „You are......” “你这是……” On the criminal bald blue vein beats, both eyes stare the circle not to dare to believe saying: „Swallows the day...... the demon merit?” 犯人光头上青筋跳动,双目瞪圆不敢置信道:“吞天……魔功？” „Do you actually know?” “你竟然知道？” Zhou Yi does not wait for the criminal to speak, a palm pats in his head, inner qi passes the body, but stirred the jellied bean curd the brain. 周易不等犯人说话,一掌拍在他的头上,内气透体而出将脑子搅成了豆腐花。 „Known are more, the curiosity is bigger, is more dangerous!” “知道的越多,好奇心就越大,也就越危险！” ...... …… Hong Chang 12 at the beginning of the year. 弘昌十二年初。 Great General Li Wu in the snake Panshan greatly broken enemy main force, cuts 200,000, captures alive the Dayong three imperial princes. 大将军李武于蛇盘山大破敌军主力,阵斩二十万,活捉大雍三皇子。 Afterward chases down the routed troop 1200 li (0.5 km), regains the Fengyang country old earth thoroughly. 随后追杀溃兵一千二百里,彻底收复凤阳国旧土。 The victory report passes on to Divine Capital, the folk common people cheer, deliberation hall hundred officers silent silent. 捷报传至神京,民间百姓欢呼雀跃,朝堂百官沉默无声。 In the fall of the same year. 同年秋。 Li Wu commands the army to capture in Dayong, including breaking 12 cities, goes straight to the Dayong southern border natural defenses town/subdues soul pass/test. 李武率军攻入大雍境内,连破十二城,直抵大雍南疆天险镇魂关。 The town/subdues soul closes the garrison commander, whatever Li Wu challenges the enemy to battle, cannot withdraw, the Dayong royal government sends an envoy the summation. 镇魂关守将任凭李武叫阵,龟缩不出,大雍朝廷遣使求和。 ...... …… The outside world changes constantly, all has nothing to do with Zhou Yi . 外界风云变幻,皆与周易无关。 In institute. 院中。 Zhou Yi sits cross-legged under the grape trellis, silently revolution Devouring Heaven Demon Merit. 周易盘坐在葡萄架下,默默运转吞天魔功。 Rushes such as inner qi of rivers and streams, flows in the meridians, spreads huge waves pound agaist the shore bellow faintly. 澎湃如江河的内气,在经脉中流淌,隐隐传出惊涛拍岸轰鸣声。 „Seven years, swallow 90 Yujiang lake expert inner qi...... now, arrive at 500 years of boundary finally!” “七年时间,吞噬九十余江湖高手内气……如今,终于到达五百年界限！” Zhou Yi invited the vacation to warden, closes up in home wholeheartedly, until breakthrough innate boundary. 周易向司狱请了假期,一心在家中闭关,直至突破先天境界。 „According to the demon merit described, inner qi was for 500 years, only need revolve unceasingly, until by oneself skidded the strength of the world, the boundary of selfenergy sensibility innate grandmaster!” “按照魔功描述,内气达到五百年之多,只需不断运转,直至以自身撬动天地之力,自能感悟先天宗师之境！” inner qi passes following the meridians unceasingly, first even/including operates more than ten Dazhou days. 内气循着经脉不断流转,一连运行十几个大周天。 Zhou Yi only thought that the meridians reached the carrying/sustaining limit, some slight meridians have had the fissure, still cannot induce the innate boundary. 周易只觉得经脉达到了承载极限,一些细微经脉已经发生裂痕,仍然不能感应先天境界。 „Snort!” “哼！” Zhou Yi cannot bear the pain snort/hum make noise, the pain of meridians fissure, puts to death by dismemberment the torture is not worse than it. 周易忍不住痛哼出声,经脉裂痕之苦,比之凌迟酷刑也不差。 At this time , to continue the revolution demon merit to break through innate, possibly the meridians completely succeed in giving up for the disabled person, the heavy direct body dying say/way disappears. 此时,继续运转魔功有可能突破先天,也可能经脉尽断成为废人,重则直接身死道消。 „Common person may clench teeth to insist, innate wrestles the destiny merit for the breakthrough, I...... tomorrow will try again!” “寻常人或许会咬牙坚持,为突破先天搏命运功,我……明天再试试！” Therefore. 于是。 Zhou Yi stops to transport the merit, set out to steep the pot good tea, the hand held the Daoist scripture to read aloud. 周易停下运功,起身沏了壶好茶,手捧道经诵读。 The congealing heart spirit, smooths moves restlessly. 凝心精神,抚平躁动。 Next day. 次日。 The Zhou Yi again revolution demon merit, were many several compared with yesterday, achieved the meridians to withstand the limit. 周易再次运转魔功,比起昨日多了几圈,又达到了经脉承受极限。 „It seems like my day capital, was really some difference.” “看来我这天资,实属有些差了。” „Common talent low, was seeing with own eyes year by year passes, either vanishes however the people dejected, either the attempt bets the life to break through at risk of life, after all the age does not wait for the person.” “寻常天赋低下者,眼见着一年又一年过去,要么心灰意冷泯然众人,要么拼死尝试赌命突破,毕竟寿数不等人。” „Has Longevity Dao Fruit luckily, what bottleneck and shackles, is out of control the time tempering.” “幸好有长生道果,什么瓶颈、桎梏,也禁不住时间磨炼。” „Only has me, even if the vicissitudes world alternates, remains unchanged!” “唯有我,纵使沧海桑田天地更迭,依然如故！” Zhou Yi stops to transport the merit, took the volume Buddhist literature to read aloud. 周易停下运功,取了卷佛经诵读。 Buddhism scroll sutra except enduring hardship and so on meaning of the Confucian classics, other such as the elaboration of cause and effect and karma, making Zhou Yi quite approve. 佛门经卷除去忍苦之类的经义,其他诸如因果、业力的阐述,让周易颇为赞同。 The autumn last spring, the time passes gradually. 秋去春来,时光荏苒。 In an instant the less than half year passes by. 转眼小半年过去。 Initially when Sky Prison still some people inquired how old Zhou has not come back, afterward on be used. 初时天牢尚有人询问,老周怎么还不回来,后来就习惯了。 This day. 这日。 Zhou Yi the burning incense sutras, is having mysterious suddenly, Devouring Heaven Demon Merit revolves in within the body. 周易正在焚香诵经,忽然心生玄妙,吞天魔功在体内自行运转。 Revolved dozens sidereal revolutions, the meridians still unconsciously the painfully swollen. 足足运转数十周天,经脉仍不觉胀痛。 At this time cool air/Qi, converges Zhou Yi within the body from the outside world continuously, such as ice silk like drizzle, sleek/moist silent. 此时一缕缕清凉之气,从外界汇入周易体内,如冰丝如细雨,润物无声。 „Is this world spiritual energy?” “这是天地灵气？” Zhou Yi closes eyes the induction, in the world has the mysterious disposition faintly is the five colors, vague thin. 周易闭目感应,天地间隐隐有玄妙之气分为五色,若有若无稀薄至极。 As boundless inner qi revolves, driving the five colors spiritual energy to integrate within the body, integrates in the middle of inner qi. If fog loose inner qi, as after the spiritual energy converges, gradually concentrates for the essence. 随着磅礴内气运转,带动五色灵气融入体内,融入内气当中。如云雾般松散内气,随着灵气汇入后,逐渐凝为实质。 500 years of boundless inner qi compression changes, becomes a trickle. 五百年磅礴内气压缩变化,成为一股涓涓细流。 „Is this innate true yuan? The quantity was short of ten times, the nature grew hundred times!” “这就是先天真元？量少了十倍,质增长百倍！” Zhou Yi revolution true yuan, passes the body from the fingertip, congeals the visible air/Qi sword, waves to turn toward the ground flagstone to fling. 周易运转真元,从指尖透体而出,凝结成肉眼可见的气剑,挥手向着地面石板甩去。 Brush! 刷！ Silent, air/Qi the sword to shear two sections the flagstone. 无声无息之间,气剑将石板割成两截。 „Offends somebody by inner qi, 34 chi (0.33 m) reduce on the might greatly, from one zhang (3.33 m) beyond, inner qi is defeated and dispersed. true yuan is actually different, even if 2-3 zhang (3.33 m) distance, can concentrate is not loose, the might does not reduce.” “以内气伤人,三四尺就威力大减,距离一丈之外,内气就自行溃散。真元却是不同,纵使2-3丈距离,也能凝而不散,威力不减。” „So the murder method, falls in every mortal eyes, several like immortal!” “如此杀人手段,落在凡俗眼中,几如仙人！” „No wonder the rivers and lakes legend, under the innate grandmaster, is the ants!” “难怪江湖传说,先天宗师之下,皆为蝼蚁！” Zhou Yi revolution innate true yuan, after a sidereal revolution, converges the world spiritual energy in within the body, almost slightly cannot check. 周易运转先天真元,一个周天之后,汇入体内的天地灵气,几乎微不可查。 „So does the practicing speed, need several hundred years to practice innate complete?” “这般修行速度,难道要几百年修行到先天圆满？” „So slow reason, incessantly the aptitude is inevitably bad. Regardless of Devouring Heaven Demon Merit or Converging Yuan Secret Art, does not have the innate later law of practicing.” “如此缓慢的缘由,必然不止资质差。无论吞天魔功还是归元诀,都没有先天之后的修行之法。” „Its two, the mediocre middle world spiritual energy is thin, taking in the nature is slow. Third, practice by oneself purely, without compounded drug and other thing of assistance the......” “其二,凡俗当中天地灵气稀薄至极,摄入自然缓慢。其三,纯靠自身修行,没有丹药等辅佐之物……” The Zhou Yi careful thinking ponders over, displays several to practice the slow reason. 周易仔细思索琢磨,就罗列出数条修行缓慢的缘由。 „But, I want to dive to cultivate/repair mediocre, even if spends for several hundred years, until some day true no little advance, will go to cultivation world is not late again.” “不过,我还是要在凡俗潜修,纵使花费几百年,直至某天真正的毫无寸进,再去修仙界也不迟。” „cultivation world may be different from the mediocrity, hiding is too difficult, the injuring someone method are too many, very difficult such as the present so to practice pure.” “修仙界可不同于凡俗,隐藏起来太难,害人手段太多,很难如现在这般清净修行。” Zhou Yi instead believes, the mediocre spiritual energy is thin, to oneself instead is a protection. 周易反而认为,凡俗灵气稀薄至极,对自己反而是一种保护。 „Moreover, as if also has the immortal cultivation merit law......” “而且,似乎也不是没有修仙功法……” Zhou Yi recalls suddenly, in the past the nameless mnemonics of Wei Chang instruction, its content was the air/Qi of induction world, refine into within to strengthen the mortal body through the merit law. 周易蓦然回想起,当年魏昌传授的无名口诀,其内容就是感应天地之气,通过功法炼入之内强化肉身。 In the past in any event cannot cross the threshold, now Zhou Yi promotes innate, has been able to induce the world spiritual energy. 当年无论如何不能入门,如今周易晋升先天,已经能感应天地灵气。 „...... Rather the heart nature, breathes the slow brocade, collects the god light/only, reaches in the sky overhead......” “……宁心自然,呼吸缓锦,收聚神光,达于天心……” Zhou Yi read silently the mnemonics, within the body true yuan pasted voluntarily, the world spiritual energy gathered in the beforehand speed at several times. 周易默诵口诀,体内真元自行流转,天地灵气以数倍于之前的速度汇聚过来。 The nameless mnemonics refine spiritual energy, is not growth innate true yuan, but integrates physique internal organs all the limbs and bones, entered martial arts Body Tempering of internal organs boundary initially, a visible growth section. 无名口诀炼化的灵气,并非增长先天真元,而是融入筋骨脏腑四肢百骸,原本初入脏腑境的武道锻体,肉眼可见的增长一截。 „This mnemonics do not amend the law, should be the legend technique of building up body!” “这口诀不是修法,应是传说中的炼体之术！” „So, can I cultivate/repair one to refine again horizontally innate?” “如此,我可以再修一个横炼先天？” Zhou Yi looks the smile, regardless of practices martial arts or immortal cultivation, to protect and sustain Longevity Dao Fruit. So long as can grow the strength, does not hesitate to spend the time cultivation, hundred years the millenniums are nondistinctive. 周易面露微笑,无论练武还是修仙,都是为了护持长生道果。只要能增长实力,就不惜花费时间修炼,百年千年并无区别。 „Tomorrow should be on duty!” “明日该去当值了！” ...... …… Sky Prison. 天牢。 Zhou Yi greeted with the bridge of duty. 周易与当值的桥打招呼。 „old Feng, does not see for a long time.” “老冯,好久不见。” „?” “诶？” Feng Qiao is tasting the spring breeze building pities the fragrant miss, the eight years ago chiefs among flowers, wealthy merchants spend money like it is going out of style and are unavailable, only to need five taels of silver now. 冯桥正在回味春风楼的怜香姑娘,八年前的花魁,富商大贾一掷千金而不可得,如今只需五两银子。 „old hasn't Zhou, you died?” “老周,你没死？” „......” “……” Zhou Yi asked: „Who said that I did die?” 周易问道:“谁说我死了？” „In is firm passes on, said that you always like suffering the rivers and lakes expert, killed so many people. Outside has many foes, was retaliated to kill, the complete skeleton has not stayed behind continually!” “牢里都这么传,说你总喜欢折磨江湖高手,弄死了那么多人。外面有许多仇敌,遭人报复袭杀,连完整尸骨都未留下！” Feng Qiao explained: „Xiaowei Zhu also dispatches the person to go to your family, knocks on a door unmanned response, everyone then letter/believed.” 冯桥解释道:“朱校尉还遣人去你家,敲门无人回应,大家便信了。” „I hid one outside, now was all right.” “我在外面躲了一阵,现在没事了。” Before Zhou Yi closes up, prepared a lot of grain, the door deadlocked, every day judged tea to study to comprehend the state of mind, whoever knocked on a door is disinclined to pay attention. 周易闭关之前,准备了大量粮食,将门锁死,每日品茶读书参悟心境,无论谁敲门都懒得去理会。 In this period really had the thief to be hospitalized, perhaps is a foe, perhaps is bandits and thieves, some people cannot support a Zhou Yi palm. 期间确实有贼人入院,或许是仇敌,或许是盗贼,未有人能撑过周易一掌。 A fist 500 years of skill, who can block! 一拳五百年功力,谁能挡得住！
