Black Cloud City, Nie Family. 黑云城,聂家。 The night falls, Nie Qian of white clothing is relying on the window, is looking at the rockery of out of the window, is lost in thought. 夜幕降临,一身素衣的聂茜倚着窗台,望着窗外的假山,怔怔出神。 Nie Tian that in the room, just turned a year old, does not bear shoves open the wet nurse, the corners of the mouth moistens full Naizi, eagerly is actually looking at Nie Qian, eyah shouts: „The meat, eats the meat......” 屋内,刚满周岁的聂天,不耐地推开奶娘,嘴角沾满奶渍,却眼巴巴地望着聂茜,咿咿呀呀地喊道:“肉,吃肉……” The wet nurse Ms. Zhou complexion is awkward, ridicules saying: „Eldest Young Lady, you look......” 奶娘周妈脸色尴尬,讪笑道:“大小姐,你看……” Nie Qian recovered, stared Nie Tian of tiger head tiger brain, scolded lowly: „This young bastard, has eaten two bowls of muddy fleshes today, does not drink the milk well, must eat the meat, does not know that he can digest well.” 聂茜回过神来,瞪了一眼虎头虎脑的聂天,低骂道:“这小混蛋,今天已经吃了两碗肉泥了,不好好喝奶,现在又要吃肉,也不知道他能不能好好消化。” „The meat, must eat the meat......” Nie Tian to yell as before with a laugh. “肉,要吃肉……”聂天依旧笑呵呵地叫喊。 Looked at the whole face to flatter Nie Tian of smiling face, Nie Qian has remembered the younger sister of leaving the world, in the heart one soft, nodded to wet nurse Ms. Zhou gently. 望着满脸讨好笑容的聂天,聂茜想起了离世的妹妹,心中一软,冲着奶娘周妈轻轻点了点头。 Ms. Zhou the muddy flesh carries at once one bowl has minced, places on the table stage gently, Nie Tian jet black eyeball suddenly one bright, takes up the silver nature soup ladle, then adeptly has dug, on the chubby small face all satisfies. 周妈旋即将一碗剁碎了的肉泥端出,轻轻放在桌台上,聂天漆黑的眼珠子猛然一亮,拿起银质汤勺,便娴熟地挖了起来,胖乎乎的小脸上全是满足。 Is listening to Nie Tian „ba” the eating sound, Nie Qian does not have feel of reason somewhat agitated, „Xiao Yue, tomorrow's drawing lots, will a total of how many children participate?” Nie Qian asked suddenly. 听着聂天“吧唧吧唧”的吃食声,聂茜没来由的感到有些烦躁,“小月,明天的抓阄,共有多少孩子参加？”聂茜突然问道。 Entrance, maidservant Han Yue hesitant, said in a soft voice: „Eldest Young Lady, so long as is Nie Family, surnamed Nie, the child in year, will participate. After all five years, Rising Clouds Mountain Old Immortal will be bringing every other Spirit Item, comes such one time, gratuity Nie Family many years of industrious, which family/home has a year of child, is not willing to miss an opportunity.” 门口,丫鬟韩月犹豫了一下,轻声道:“大小姐,只要是聂家的,姓聂的,在周岁左右的孩子,都会参加。毕竟每隔五年,凌云山的老神仙才会带着灵器,来这么一次,算是犒赏聂家多年的辛勤,谁家有周岁的孩子,都是不愿意错过机会的。” Nie Family in Black Cloud City is also prestigious family prominent family, however this world, is Qi Refinement Warrior is to actually revere, the family influence of this world, is almost is serving for these formidable Qi Refinement Warrior, Nie Family naturally is no exception. 聂家在黑云城也是名门望族,然而这个天地,却是炼气士为尊,凡尘的家族势力,几乎都是在为那些强大的炼气士服务,聂家自然也不例外。 The Qi Refinement Warrior sect of Nie Family attachment is Rising Clouds Sect, is situated in Black Cloud City nearby Rising Clouds Mountain, in the Rising Clouds Mountain mid-hill, is rich in Fire Cloud Stone, Fire Cloud Stone is one common low-level spirit material that the Qi Refinement Warrior practice needs, Rising Clouds Sect Qi Refinement Warrior is busy with the practice all year long, is not willing to cost the time to mine this low-level Fire Cloud Stone in the mid-hill, then arranges the Nie Family clansman to go. 聂家依附的炼气士宗派为凌云宗,就坐落在黑云城附近的凌云山,凌云山的山腹内,盛产火云石,火云石乃炼气士修炼所需的一种常见的低级灵材,凌云宗的炼气士终年忙于修炼,不愿耗费时间在山腹开采这种低级的火云石,便安排聂家的族人前往。 Nie Family one generation for the clansman, through mining Fire Cloud Stone, presents tribute to Rising Clouds Sect, received exchange the asylum of Rising Clouds Sect. 聂家的一代代族人,都是通过开采火云石,进贡向凌云宗,来换取凌云宗的庇护。 But Rising Clouds Sect Qi Refinement Warrior, besides protecting Nie Family not by the suppressions of other Black Cloud City family influences, every other five years, will also come Nie Family, with some low-level Spirit Item, in way of drawing lots, measured that refining up practice talent of Nie Family baby. 而凌云宗的炼气士,除了保护聂家不受黑云城其它家族势力的打压以外,每隔五年,还会来一趟聂家,用一些低级的灵器,以抓阄的方式,来测炼聂家幼儿的修炼天赋。 Each child, after the birth, the body more or less has special Attribute, besides Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth Five Elements Attribute, but also child within the body some implication quite scarce lightning, winds, cloud, cold ice and other Attribute, Rising Clouds Sect Qi Refinement Warrior each comes, will have several types to have various Attribute low-level Spirit Item similarly. 每一个孩童,出生后,身体都或多或少带有点特殊属性,除了金木水火土五行属性外,还有的孩童体内蕴含较为稀少的雷电、风、云、寒冰等属性,凌云宗的炼气士每趟过来,都会带有数种同样具有各类属性的低级灵器。 Has the same Attribute child and Spirit Item, can the mutual induction attraction, be able to determine that from this Attribute of child within the body, this will let the person of father's generation to act appropriately to the situation, knows the child future practice direction, will cause to practice a way to be twice the result with half the effort. 具备同样属性的孩童和灵器,能相互感应吸引,由此可以确定孩童体内的属性,这让父辈能对症下药,知晓孩子未来的修炼方向,使得修炼一途事半功倍。 Rising Clouds Sect Qi Refinement Warrior, will use these low-level Spirit Item, bosses around the loyalty of Nie Family, low-level Spirit Item that at the drawing lots congress puts out, will grant the Nie Family baby who Attribute coincides. 凌云宗的炼气士,会用那些低级的灵器,来笼络聂家的忠心,抓阄大会上拿出的低级灵器,都会赠与属性相合的聂家幼儿。 To Rising Clouds Sect Qi Refinement Warrior, Spirit Item that these low-level not greatly use, is actually helpful to the practice of Nie Family baby, even a long time, is the Nie Family children most while convenient Spirit Item. 对凌云宗炼气士而言,那些低级无大用的灵器,却有助于聂家幼儿的修炼,甚至在很长一段时间内,都是聂家孩童的最趁手灵器。 Also is so, every five years a time drawing lots congress, will make the Nie Family ebullition, any has the year the Nie Family elder of baby, will regard as the child life important matter it, will become it like the duck. 也是如此,每五年一次的抓阄大会,都会令聂家沸腾,任何一个有周岁左右幼儿的聂家长者,都会将其视为孩儿的人生大事,趋之如骛。 This time, is no exception similarly. 此次,同样也不例外。 „I am held responsible you, do this chapter of a total of how many children participate?” Nie Qian knits the brows to say. “我是问你,这回共有多少孩子参加？”聂茜皱眉道。 „Seven.” Han Yue lowering the head light language. “七个。”韩月低头轻语。 „Xiao Tian exactly is also the year, he is also surnamed Nie, why nobody informs me, making Nie Tian also attend this time drawing lots congress?” Nie Qian cold snort/hum. “小天恰好也是周岁,他也姓聂,为何没有人通知我,让聂天也去参加这次的抓阄大会？”聂茜冷哼。 „Eldest Young Lady......” a Han Yue face forced smile, looked up Nie Qian, said weakly: „Nie Tian, although is the Second Young Lady child, but Second Young Lady...... Like you, is only the daughter bodies, moreover before Second Young Lady leaves the world, had not explained that who the Nie Tian's father is.” “大小姐……”韩月一脸苦笑,抬头看了一眼聂茜,弱弱地说:“聂天虽是二小姐的孩子,可二小姐……和你一样,都只是女儿身,而且二小姐离世前,也未曾说明聂天的生父是谁。” „The Nie Family custom is placed in that only then the genuine grandson and granddaughter, are qualified for participating for five years a time drawing lots congress, grandchild...... Not in this row.” “聂家的规矩摆在那,只有真正的孙儿和孙女,才有资格去参加五年一次的抓阄大会,外孙……可不在此列啊。” „I no matter these broken customs, the father now or Family Master, my this asks him to ask for an explanation!” Nie Qian said bitterly that the words, she then angrily leaves. “我才不管那些破规矩,爹爹现在还是家主,我这就找他讨个说法！”聂茜恨恨道,话罢,她便气冲冲离开。 „Old gentleman, although at present Family Master, but this position...... Is unreliable!” After Nie Qian leaves angrily, the Han Yue whole face is bitter and astringent, mutters. “老爷子虽目前还是家主,可这个位置……并不牢固啊！”在聂茜愤怒离开之后,韩月满脸苦涩,喃喃自语。 Partly after making a sound. 半响后。 Nie Qian intrudes the Nie Donghai pavilion, opened the mouth calls to shout indignantly: „Father, Nie Tian is also......” 聂茜闯入聂东海的楼阁,张口气愤地叫嚷道:“爹爹,聂天也是……” Her yells to stop suddenly. 她的一声叫喊戛然而止。 In the dim room, Nie Family current Family Master Nie Donghai, on the wax yellow face full is the exhausted color, the majestic body skinny like the material, the rickets is relying on now on the wall, is looking at left hand palm dark-red Medicine Pill, indecisive. 昏暗的屋内,聂家现任家主聂东海,蜡黄的脸上满是疲惫之色,原本雄壮的身躯如今干瘦如材,佝偻着倚在墙壁上,正望着左手掌心一枚暗红色的丹药,犹豫不决。 Ablaze with anger Han Qian, heart acid, sound suddenly soft, soft voice persuaded: „Father, does not want.” 怒气冲冲地韩茜,心头一酸,声音突然柔软了下来,温声劝说:“爹爹,不要。” Her eyes recognize, Medicine Pill of Nie Donghai palm, is Spirit Recovering Pill, took Spirit Recovering Pill, can make Qi Refinement Warrior in a short time spiritual energy abundant, is vigorous, has the effect of returning to consciousness just before dying. 她一眼就认出,聂东海掌心的丹药,乃是回神丹,服用了回神丹,可以让一名炼气士短时间内灵气充沛,精神旺盛,有回光返照之功效。 But Spirit Recovering Pill, is actually overdrawing the Qi Refinement Warrior potential and longevity force, afterward will make the Qi Refinement Warrior body and mind damage greatly. 可回神丹,却是在透支炼气士的潜能和寿元,事后会令炼气士身心大损。 Generally speaking, when Qi Refinement Warrior and person battle, matter of life and death, will use Spirit Recovering Pill to seek a slim chance of survival, usually does not dare to take. 一般而言,只有炼气士与人争斗,生死攸关之际,才会动用回神丹来寻求一线生机,平常是万万不敢服用的。 Lowers the head to look at Spirit Recovering Pill for a long time Nie Donghai, sees with own eyes Nie Qian to arrive, smiles reluctantly, crabbed say/way: „Since causes heavy losses after by Yun Family and Yuan Family, my Qi Sea disruption, the accumulation of spiritual energy could not be as good as is defeated and dispersed the speed, my cultivation level, was lifelong hopeless to step into Innate, even this Culmination Realm...... Also possibly soon insurance continuously.” 垂头看着回神丹许久的聂东海,眼见聂茜到来,勉强一笑,艰涩道:“自从被云家和袁家重创以后,我气海碎裂,灵气的聚集已抵不上溃散之速度,我的修为,已终身无望踏入先天,甚至这中天境界……也可能快要保之不住了。” „Second Child and Third Child think that the position of my Family Master, has thought is very long, tomorrow the Rising Clouds Sect person will come, if makes him see that my realm becomes worse and worse, gives Second Child Third Child to agitate again, perhaps my this position, really must hand over.” “老二和老三想我的这个家主之位,已经想了很久,明天凌云宗的人就会过来,要是让他看出我的境界每况愈下,再给老二老三煽风点火一番,我这个位置,恐怕真要拱手相让了。” „Father, if must to overdraw longevity force to receive in exchange for the position of Family Master, my rather you early leave early.” Nie Qian eye socket moist say/way. “爹爹,如果要以透支寿元来换取家主之位,我宁愿您早早退下来。”聂茜眼眶湿润道。 „What do you understand?” Nie Donghai stares fiercely, on face withers with completely angry, „, only then I am the Lord of Nie Family, you receive it shame in Yun Family, has to ask for just that! Has deceived your younger sister's that person, I can only use the strength of Nie Family, who hopefully finds out him is!” “你懂什么？”聂东海猛地一瞪眼,脸上满是肃杀和恼怒,“只有我还是聂家之主,你在云家所受之辱,才有讨回公道的那一！还有骗了你妹妹的那个人,我只能动用聂家之力,才有希望查出他是谁！” „I, if drawing back has gotten down, Second Child and Third Child, are absolutely impossible to pay attention to you and your younger sister's enmity! For you and Jin'er, this position, I can sit for day, sits for day!” “我若退下了,老二和老三,绝无可能理会你和你妹妹的仇怨！为了你和瑾儿,这个位置,我能多坐一天,就多坐一天！” „How many years little lived to be considered as what? Once I under drawing back, what again am also then incapable of striving for you, what such and did die also had to distinguish?” “少活几年又算得了什么？我一旦退下,便再也无力为你们争取什么,那样和死了又有什么分别？” „Father!” Nie Qian has choked with sobs. “爹爹啊！”聂茜已泣不成声。 „Good, don't like the child who has not grown up, said that what are you looking for my anxiously?” Nie Donghai took a deep breath, the facial expression restored firm and resolute. “好了好了,别像个没长大的孩子一样,说说吧,你急着找我何事？”聂东海深吸一口气,神情恢复了坚毅。 „Father, tomorrow's drawing lots congress, is important, since you made Xiao Tian be surnamed Nie, I hope that Xiao Tian can also participate. If Xiao Tian can at the drawing lots congress, find to suit his Spirit Item, this will be enormous to his later practice help. Perhaps, he can draw support from such Spirit Item, stepped into Qi Refinement 9-layer at age 15, thus enters Rising Clouds Sect.” The Nie Qian entreaty said. “爹爹,明天的抓阄大会,事关重大,你既然让小天姓了聂,我希望小天也能参加。小天如果能在抓阄大会上,找到适合他的灵器,这会对他以后的修炼帮助极大。或许,他就能借助那样灵器,在15岁时踏入炼气九层,从而进入凌云宗。”聂茜哀求道。 „This matter......” Nie Donghai looks the embarrassment, „do I know? For this matter, I and Second Child Third Child had already discussed that but their bites to death Xiao Tian is not my Nie Family genuine soldier, must keep them out Xiao Tian with the clan regulations.” “此事……”聂东海面露难色,“我又何尝不知？为了此事,我和老二老三早已谈过,可他们一口咬死小天不是我聂家真正的儿郎,非要以族规将小天拒之门外。” „Father, your way of practice arrived at the end, the younger sister not, but I...... This life also so. Our person is not prosperous, only then a Xiao Tian son, I hopes that you can be Xiao Tian catch an opportunity with every effort.” The Nie Qian eye tearful said. “爹爹,您的修炼之途已到尽头,妹妹也不在了,而我……这一生也就如此了。我们这一支人丁不旺,只有小天一个男儿,我希望您能够为小天尽力争取一个机会。”聂茜眼泪汪汪道。 Nie Donghai for a long time, the nod, „I understood silent gently, you go back, tomorrow you will bring Nie Tian to attend the drawing lots congress on time.” 聂东海沉默许久,轻轻点头,“我明白了,你回去吧,明日你带聂天准时来参加抓阄大会。” In the eye of Nie Qian tears twinkle, underlines a happy expression, at once bowing the body draws back. 聂茜泪光闪烁的眼中,突显一丝喜色,旋即鞠身退下。 Treads the door when her, soon will go far away, she heard Nie Donghai to swallow the Spirit Recovering Pill sound, a long sigh of Nie Donghai. 就在她踏出房门,即将远去时,她听到了聂东海吞下回神丹的声音,还有聂东海的一声长长叹息。 Nie Qian feels as if a knife were piercing heart, knew that her arrival, instead helps Nie Donghai to set firm resolve, she is not cruel enough to look back to look that the half step leaves in a panic. 聂茜心如刀割,自知她的到来,反而助聂东海下定了决心,她不忍心回首去看,快步仓惶离开。 ...... …… ps: In the below counter heaven, newly-arrived, please assist me in any way you can ~ ps:在下逆苍天,初来乍到,请多多关照~
