But must govern the hand, the letter/believes with does not believe that this depends on you......, if you have that idea, tonight, the ancestral temple that goes to Qingshui Village to build looks for me.” “我只是从老人家你渴望的眼神中,能够看出来你是一个真正的求剑之人,觉得有些可惜罢了。只不过要不要治手,信与不信,这都取决于你……若你有那个想法,今天晚上,就去清水村新修的祠堂来找我吧。” Then, this white hair man received the long sword in hand, the mountain breeze swayed, tucks on the wilderness his sword qi by the weeds that cut to pieces, the next quarter, the form of man then disappeared without the trace. 说罢,这白发男人收起了手中的长剑,山风吹拂,撩起原野上被他剑气切碎的野草,下一刻,男人的身影便消失无踪了。 ------------- ------------- At night, Qingshui Village. 夜晚,清水村。 Hesitated the half-day alone arm old person in own, finally cannot bear, stole into Qingshui Village while dim light of night gently groping. 在自己的家中踟躇了半天的独臂老人,终于还是忍不住,趁夜色摸黑悄悄地溜进了清水村内。 The seduction of cutting off limb rebirth to him was really big, was infatuated with regarding one swordsman of sword entire life, the sword was his life significance. 断肢重生的诱惑对他来说实在是太大了,对于一个一生醉心于剑的剑客而言,剑才是他的生命意义。 Old but still full of high ambition, farsighted, martyr later years, the old person of courageous, alone arm, even if already is over 50 years old, is the absolute advanced age in this time, but in his mind, still also has to climb the hope of higher sword boundary. 老骥伏枥,志在千里,烈士暮年,壮心不已,独臂的老人哪怕已经是五十多岁,在这个时代属于绝对的高龄,但是在他的心中,依然还有着攀登更高的剑境的渴望。 If knows that has the opportunity to be able own to habitually use the hand to continue, that believes that the alone arm kind of group life insurance does without hesitation. 若是知道有机会能将自己的惯用手接续回来,那相信独臂老人会毫不犹豫地去做。 So the coincidence, he can certainly see, that youngster and that white hair man in repertoire he, so long as really can cure the arm, the old person does not care about their goals, even if pays with the life the price, he is also willing to receive in exchange own. 如此巧合,他当然能看出,那个少年和那个白发男人是在套路他,但只要真的能够治好手臂,老人并不在乎他们的目的,哪怕是付出生命的代价,他也愿意换回自己的手。 After entering the village, his every action and every movement are careful, because he understands, in this village is living, once was in Great Xia Jianghu the extraordinary role, even some people are not weaker than him. 进入村子以后,他的一举一动都非常小心,因为他明白,这个村子里居住着的,都是曾经大夏江湖中了不得的角色,甚至其中一些人根本不比他弱。 The alone arm old person knows that the own status is special, because of the reason of nationality, he had not been admitted by this village, comes in rashly that is the illegal invasion, according to the personality of Great Xia military person, will perhaps rally together to attack at the scene, gangs up to surround and beats up very miserably him. 独臂老人知道自己的身份特殊,因为国籍的原因,他并没有被这个村子接纳,贸然进来那就是非法入侵,按大夏武人的性格,恐怕会当场群起而攻之,将他围殴得很惨。 However tonight's Qingshui Village as always equally is actually peaceful, the restaurant and inn in village turned off the lights to go out of business early, originally on the street was upon the jump is also expelled in courtyard in the chicken group and son of a bitch, in darkness, only then the trees are dragging with the wind gently. 不过今晚的清水村倒是一如往常一样安静,就连村里的酒楼和客栈都早早地熄灯歇业了,原先在街道上跑来跑去的鸡群和狗子也都被撵进了院子里,黑暗之中,就只有树木在随风轻轻摇曳着。 The old person of alone arm has not alarmed any adult in village very much with ease, successfully arrived around the village that building Citangqian. 独臂的老人很轻松地没有惊动村里的任何成年人,成功地来到了村口附近那个新修的祠堂前。 This ancestral temple, he is also knows that since the arm cut off, he wanders destitute far from home, arrives around this village, already 2-3 years, when his previous time comes to the village to trade, in the village did not have this ancestral temple, the villagers seem like do not have so to have the vitality now. 这座祠堂,他也是知道的,自从手臂被斩断了以后,他流落异乡,来到这村子附近,也已经有2-3个年头了,在他上次来村子里交易的时候,村子里还没有这座祠堂,村民们看起来也没有如今这般有朝气。 That time villagers, although is one flock of idle cloud wild cranes, but body had one with his similar flavor. 那时的村民们,虽然是一群闲云野鹤,但身上却有一股和他相似的味道。 That was or leaves lofty ideal unrealized, or is stranded for the sentiment, or was forced, has to withdraw from the Jianghu old salt fish flavor. 那是或壮志未酬、或为情所困、或被逼无奈,不得不退出江湖的老咸鱼味道。 However now this group of people emerge an inexplicable fighting spirit suddenly, making the old person feel when they returned to enter Jianghu that feeling probably initially. 不过现在这帮人忽然涌现出一股莫名的斗志,让老人感觉他们好像是回到了初入江湖时的那种感觉。 The old person bumped the gate of ancestral temple, the gate has not locked, he opens the door of ancestral temple, entered in the ancestral temple. 老人碰了碰祠堂的门,门没锁,他推开祠堂的门,走进了祠堂内。 Even night, in the ancestral temple is still maintaining the illumination, on both sides rack, several rows of red candles burn to catch fire, illuminated this ancestral temple in the night with dim warm luminous, in the ancestral temple Consecrate a respect for elders person has not been seeing god, he guessed that possibly is the Qingshui Village belief. 即使是夜里,祠堂内也保持着光照,两旁的架子上,好几排红色的蜡烛燃着火,在夜里用朦胧温暖的光亮照亮了这个祠堂,祠堂中供奉着一尊老人未曾见过的神祗,他猜测可能是清水村当地的信仰。 Generally speaking, although the ancestral temple is the Consecrate ancestor or Gods place, but at night, this place actually will appear specially gloomy scary, but in this building ancestral temple, actually gave an alone arm old person tranquil feeling. 一般来说,祠堂虽然是供奉祖先或神明的地方,但到了晚上,这种地方却会显得特别阴森吓人,但在这座新修的祠堂内,却给了独臂老人一种宁静的感觉。 In this ancestral temple, as if looks like the true god territory, a strength that makes the person spirit tranquil relax relaxed get down. 这座祠堂内,仿佛就像是真正的神域,有一种让人精神平静松缓下来的力量。 However that makes him come here white hair man this afternoon actually not here, this disappoints the old person somewhat. 不过那个今天下午让他来这里的白发男人却并没有在这里,这让老人有些失望。 Transferred around the ancestral temple, the alone arm old person inspected to carefully examine each corner of ancestral temple cautiously, has not discovered his trail. 绕着祠堂转了一圈,独臂老人小心翼翼地检查审视了祠堂的各个角落,始终没有发现他的踪迹。 „Really hasn't come...... that this afternoon is I am having a dream?” “果然没来……那今天下午是我在做梦吗？” The alone arm old person shook head, long sighs, is about to leave the village, returns to own that deteriorated house. 独臂老人摇了摇头,长叹了一口气,准备离开村子,回到自己的那个破房子里去。 But in the meantime, the sound got up air-splitting, has anything to puncture nearby window, touched and went old person's face, shot on the pillar of ancestral temple. 但就在此时,破空声响起,有什么东西刺破了一旁的窗户,擦过老人的脸庞,射到了祠堂的柱子上面。 „sword qi?” “剑气？” The old person of alone arm is very sensitive, he runs up to nearby the window immediately, looks outward by the crack, but anything has not actually seen. 独臂的老人很是敏感,他立刻跑到窗子附近,透过破洞朝外看去,但却什么也没有看到。 He returned to by the pillar, puts out a hand to trace on the pillar by that to be said sword mark that sword qi keeps. 他又回到了柱子旁,伸手摸了摸柱子上被那道剑气留下来的剑痕。 Above inscribed several characters. 上面铭刻了几个字。 „Respects three to burn a joss stick, issue from solution.” “敬三炷香,问题自解。” „Unexpectedly is religious scammer?” “居然还是个神棍？” The old person of alone arm is somewhat surprised. 独臂的老人有些意外。 The weak person happy reading wants to repose in the puppet statue is not strange, but the swordsmanship of that white hair man above him, such powerhouse, will also do this seeking help from gods and Buddhas ceremony unexpectedly, made him be surprised. 无力的人将美好的念想寄托于木偶石像并不奇怪,但那白发男子的剑法可是远在他之上,这样的强者,居然也会搞这种求神拜佛的仪式,着实令他感到意外。 „Ok, I came in any case.” “算了,反正我都来了。” The old person of alone arm smiled. 独臂的老人哂笑了一下。 „I now this situation, does not have the qualifications others.” “我现在这种处境,也没资格来说人家。” Before he arrives at the idol, raised head to look at one, the idol was on a shoulder the plate the dragon, the back carried the sword chest, without the male of appearance, on the platform before idol, some people are then putting big pile of fragrant and hot booklets, used momentarily. 他走到神像前,仰头看了一眼,神像是一个肩上盘着龙,背后背着剑匣,没有面目的男性,在神像前的台子上,便有人放着一大堆香和火折,供人随时取用。 The old person brings, somewhat lit three fragrances strenuously, was doing obeisance doing obeisance to the idol at will, then that three burnt a joss stick to insert in the big cauldron before idol. 老人拿过来,有些吃力地点燃了三根香,随意对着神像拜了拜,接着将那三炷香插在了神像前的大鼎中。 The incense and candle fills the air, in the light smog, why the old person of alone arm does not know, feels suddenly somewhat sleepily. 香火弥漫,淡淡的烟雾之中,独臂的老人不知道为何,忽然觉得有些困倦。 He waited for a while, without having anything, therefore has then taken a rush cushion, sat cross-legged

of old person, the old person was hung to hit by him, the last sword will soon prick his throat time, the old person awoke with a start. 他梦见一名看不清脸的男子来他梦中与他比剑,在梦中,他的身躯丝毫无损,于是持剑与那看不清脸的男子大战了数回合,结果那男子的剑法通天,超出了老人的想象,老人被他吊起来打了一顿,最后一剑即将刺入他咽喉的时候,老人被吓醒了过来。 He gripped subconsciously tightened the own fist, immediately realized was not right. 他下意识地攥紧了自己的拳头,随即意识到了不对。 Not only left arm, probably oneself right arm, there is a feeling. 不只是左边的手臂,好像自己右边的手臂,也有了感觉。 Dreamland remains? 梦境的残留？ The old person somewhat has doubts turns head, looks to the right side, there, the own right arm is perfect, bright and clean such as new. 老人有些疑惑地扭头,看向右侧,在那里,自己的右臂完好无损,光洁如新。 He somewhat tried to pinch the fist at a loss, then pinched a own face ruthlessly,
