Daybreak before dawn. 黎明拂晓。 When morning sun will have risen, Eastern fish-belly white, is exuding faint trace purple intent. 朝阳将升未升之际,东方一片鱼肚白,又泛着丝丝紫意。 In the yard, Wu Ming wears the flax color long gown, the top of the head bamboo crown, the attitude is comfortable, to horizon turnover Purple Qi, is changing into gold/metal saliva fine wine, makes three times to swallow. 小院之内,吴明穿着亚麻色长袍,头顶竹冠,意态闲适淡然,对着天际吞吐紫气,化为一口金津玉液,作三次吞下。 After less than half double-hour, every day schoolwork merit line of complete, Wu Ming has not actually stopped, but goes to the yard center, pulls open the step slowly, makes one set of Palm Art. 小半个时辰之后,每日课业功行圆满,吴明却没有停下,而是来到小院中心,缓缓拉开步伐,打出一套掌法。 Hū! Scoff! 呼！嗤！ In two palms, hidden with the sound of wind and thunder, makes the tiger leopard sound, even the rippling skeleton, washes the marrow, has the faint trace electric light, treads astral step to fight, wonderful extraordinary. 两掌之中,隐携风雷之音,做虎豹声响,甚至荡漾骨骼,洗涤骨髓,带着丝丝电光,踏罡步斗,神妙非凡。 „Un...... this set of Five Thunder Palm Art, as if the merit of inner refinement, if Martial Artist, but the thunder hammers the bone, enters Innate, has the help to Dao Cultivator Five Qi towards the Origin, is really good!” “嗯……这套五雷掌法,似乎还有内炼之功,若是武者,可雷霆锻骨,直入先天,对修道者的五气朝元也有助益,真是不错！” One set of Palm Art gets down, on the Wu Ming face appears the color of satisfaction. 一套掌法下来,吴明脸上现出满意之色。 Always although Thunder Art is Dao Sect first, practice is difficult, from the beginning requests natural talent, seven do not repair the regulation that eight do not pass on. 历来雷法虽是道门第一,修炼却难,一开始要求资质,就有七不修、八不传的规条。 Even if must pass on the method, must enter is in the know, is still troublesome. 而即使得传法门,要入得门径,也是麻烦非常。 First then must pass on seal or the printing, with the peach wood or Thunder-Fire have divided the jujube wood, makes Seal of Thunderclap, such as the huge Thunder-Fire seal and dwelling place of celestial beings incite to absorb seal, to cut break acute communicable disease seal and 5-Thunder to cause institute seal, five Thunder-Fire car(riage) seal evilly and other countries, as always absorbs the hub. 首先便得传印或制印,就是用桃木或者雷火劈过的枣木,制造雷霆之印,如都天大雷火印、仙都滋摄印、斩邪断瘟印、五雷使院印、五雷火车印等,作为总摄枢纽。 After that must study when the thunderstorms cautiously, to take the Thunder-Fire method, to take the electrical fire law to save Thunder Power, saves in India , China, when displays, to save the idea, to change the god law to transfer again, once in a while assists to summon in Thunder Art and palm secret art and treads astral step to spar, the side is true Thunder Secrets! 其后,又要在雷雨之际小心翼翼地修习,以取雷火法、取电火法积蓄雷力,存于印中,施展之际,再以存想法、变神法调用,间或辅佐以召雷法、掌中诀目和踏罡步斗法,方是真正的雷诀！ So one set of practice gets down, almost half a lifetime time went. 如此一套修炼下来,几乎半辈子时光就进去了。 But this «Five Thunder Palm Art», is actually one creates by military Entering the Dao rogue cultivator, without so many customs, instead agrees without consultation with Martial Path, what taken is ‚person big Universe, Yin-Yang from gathering, the hub from according, then it will be possible the meat lives the electric light, the palm sends thunder’ the ideal condition, quite to the Wu Ming appetite. 但这本《五雷掌法》,却是一位以武入道的散修所创,没有那么多规矩,反而与武道暗合,取的乃是‘人身大宇宙,阴阳自合,枢纽自据,乃可肉生电光,掌发雷霆’的意境,颇对吴明的胃口。 „But, this law wants Advanced / Evolve, must in the night of thunderstorms, the ascending a height to get a broad view dangerous mountain peak, receive and instruct a trace Power of Thunderclap to get down, as catalyst, or collects the thing of other thunder for the help......” “不过,此法要进阶,还是要在雷雨之夜,登临险峰,接引一丝雷霆之力下来,作为引子,或者收集其它雷霆之物为助益……” Wu Ming thought of account on this Palm Art. 吴明不由想到了这本掌法上的自述。 rogue cultivator that founds this method, says Heavenly Thunder True Daoist, before has not obtained enlightenment, is secular world Martial Artist, creates this gate in the method of military Entering the Dao. 那位开创此种法门的散修,自称天雷真人,未得道之前,也是一名世俗武者,才创出此门以武入道之法。 But according to him said that study of Five Thunder Palm, roughly may be divided: The day, place, cloud and water, fight five levels. 而根据他所言,五雷掌的修习,大体可分为:天、地、云、水、斗五个层次。 So long as Earth Thunder Boundary, were then a worthy opponent with True Daoist sufficiently, it is said day Thunder Secrets of maximum level, is a military unites, the law has Martial God to the boundary, may fight with Heavenly Master! 只要到了地雷境界,便足以与真人匹敌,据说最高层次的天雷诀,乃是道武合一,法有武神的至境,可与天师争锋！ Naturally, this is also the secrets says, regarding the authenticity, Wu Ming is also skeptical. 当然,这也是秘笈所言,对于真实性,吴明还抱有疑虑。 And, this is pure going on a punitive expedition against dao technique, is not foundation Righteous Path, even if the might is infinite, in fact actually must miss «Yellow Court Yin Talisman Scripture» plans incessantly. 并且,此还是单纯的征伐道术,非为根基正道,纵然威力无穷,实际上却还要差了《黄庭阴符经》不止一筹。 But Wu Ming actually likes very much. 但吴明却很喜欢。 „I now, Five Thunder Palm is in most Initial Rank ‚Battle Thunder’ rank, to enter ‚Water Thunder Secrets’ Boundary, must receive and instruct and more massive Power of Thunderclap to enter the body......” “我现在,五雷掌还是处于最初阶的‘斗雷’级别,要想进入‘水雷诀’的境界,就必然要接引更多、更大量的雷霆之力入体……” Wu Ming hesitated under: „Regarding other Daoist, must receive and instruct the thunder, all needs to brave day of danger that hits the 5-Thunder bang, but in Overgod Palace, has Thunderclap Stone and Magical Artifact, and even contains medicinal Pill receiving in exchange of a trace Power of Thunderclap......” 吴明沉吟了下:“对于其它道人,要接引雷霆,无一不是需要冒着天打五雷轰的危险,但主神殿之中,却是有着雷霆石、法器、乃至蕴含一丝雷霆之力的丹药换取……” Thinks of here, impulsion that he actually one type wants to cry. 想到这里,他却又有一种很想哭的冲动。 Previous Mission, although harvests extraordinarily, but in the Merit Points reward, the important person tears collapses simply. 上次任务,虽然收获非凡,但在功勋奖励上,简直要人泪崩。 Only two hundred Minor Merit(s), the consumption that also enters on several Magical Artifact, made the Wu Ming getdown, is to emit in several hands ‚inventory’, received in exchange for Merit Points. 区区两百小功,也就几次法器进入的消耗而已,令吴明都开始认真考虑,是不是要放出几件手上‘存货’,换取功勋了。 „‚Battle Thunder’ Boundary, is only the graces, brings the sound of wind and thunder, is not anything, but ‚Water Thunder’ Boundary, is the wind and rain thunder all has, the strength of available thunder and lightning offended somebody...... as for ‚Cloud Thunder’, actually must form Thunder Art Cloud Seal talisman in Sea of Consciousness, makes a move to become established law, is true Entering the Dao, turned into Thunder Art from Martial Path......” “‘斗雷’境界,只是举手投足,带着风雷之声,还不算什么,但‘水雷’境界,便是风雨雷霆皆具,可用雷电之力伤人了……至于‘云雷’,却是要在识海中形成雷法的云篆符箓,出手成法,乃是真正的入道,从武道变成了雷法……” Wu Ming meditates two, has not confused regarding the path that oneself go forward again. 吴明默想两下,对于自己前进的道路已经再无迷惑。 „Wu Tiehu!” “吴铁虎！” „lowly one / small in!” “小的在！” Wu Tiehu naturally also has the morning exercise, but is seeing the Wu Ming so terrifying skill, had been frightened respectfully stands out of respect in one side. 吴铁虎自然也有晨练,但见着吴明如此恐怖的身手,早已被吓得恭敬肃立在一边。 Actually is very clear, by this time Wu Ming, must kill him, but the expenditures of three moves of two types. 却是非常清楚,以此时的吴明,要扑杀他,不过三招两式的花费而已。 „Saddling a horse car(riage), goes out of town, goes to Dragon Gate canyon!” Wu Ming spout long air/Qi. “备马车,出城,去龙门峡一趟！”吴明吐出口长气。 Complied with Wu Qing to leave, at least the superficial appearance must do. 答应了吴晴要离开,至少表面样子要做出来。 But this Dragon Gate canyon, is Dragon Gate's Meet, even prohibits the White Flood Dragon place, is important, while the present close to February/two months 2 nd, the Dragon Qi starting, happen to goes a view! 而这龙门峡,乃是龙门之会,甚至封禁白蛟的地点,更是重要非常,趁着现在临近二月初二,龙气始动,正好前去一观！ ...... …… Above major road. 官道之上。 The cold winter just received, the roadside has aura of several spring to bud, vigorous life-force of this type collection under the severe coldness, making Wu Ming like very much, is operating the vehicle covering, slowly look. 寒冬刚收,路边就有几丝春之气息萌动,这种于严寒之下珍藏的勃勃生机,令吴明很是喜欢,就这么开着车篷,慢慢看着。 A spring cold weather, naturally cannot do, sees above the carriage, the youngster is frail, a both eyes light actually likes the stars, making one believe. 一点春寒,自然奈何不得,就见马车之上,少年单薄,一双目光却有如星辰,令人心折。 „Came!” “来了！” Meanwhile, the corners of the mouth of Wu Ming also move, carry over the a trace strange smile. 与此同时,吴明的嘴角也是一动,带出一丝诡异的笑容。 „Saw clearly, indeed is he!” “看清楚了,的确是他！” Rides to follow after the carriage, sees the youngster, the vision is collecting, shifts fast, after green pines, actually emits a red bird secretly. 一骑跟在马车之后,见着少年,目光一敛,飞快转向,到了一株苍松之后,却是偷偷放出一只赤色的鸟雀。 This small birds are extremely clever, the flight vanishes, in an instant has driven the carriage, crosses more than ten li (0.5 km), stopped in a major road nearby tea shop backyard. 这雀鸟极其通灵,飞行绝迹,刹那间赶过马车,越过十几里,在一间官道旁边的茶铺后院停了下来。 Slender such as the palm of jade grabs the small birds, takes down the news to look, the pupil smiles: „Idea came!” 一只修长如玉的手掌抓着雀鸟,取下消息看过,眸子就是一笑:“点子来了！” „The matter that the everyone preparation, the master told, cannot make the mistake!” “诸位准备吧,老爷吩咐的事情,可不能出了差错！” Said that this saying, is a clothes swordsman, on the face the color of microstrip wind and frost, the frown like the sword, quite somewhat heroic spirit. 说这话的,是一名青衫剑客,脸上微带风霜之色,双眉如剑,颇有几分英气。 But by him, several outlandish clothes, dresses up the strange person. 而在他旁边,还有几个奇装异服,打扮怪异之人。 „Hehe......, since you ‚practice sword’ to go into action scarlet personally, is inevitably easy!” A benign countenance, puts on the granny who Bernard takes to say with a smile. “嘿嘿……既然您‘赤练剑’都亲自出马,必然手到擒来！”一名慈眉善目,穿着百纳服的老婆婆就笑道。 Why does not know, other surroundings several, actually spread out big with her, as if this old woman is what disasters is common. 不知道为什么,周围其余几个,却跟她拉开好大距离,似乎此名老妪才是什么洪水猛兽一般。 This youth, is surnamed show/unfolds Hong clear, long ago once was a wanderer Jianghu knight, has the fame in nearby number county, how actually does not know, to join in the middle of the palace now, was a retainer consecrates. 此名青年,姓展名鸿昭,早年曾是一名闯荡江湖的侠客,在附近数郡都有着名气,却不知怎么,现在投身在王府当中,为一门客供奉。 Several other , has respective the character of unique skill, won over by Wang Family, this time all sends out unexpectedly, obviously attaches great importance. 其它几个,也都是有着各自绝活的人物,被王家拉拢,这次竟然全部出动,可见重视。 „Such being the case, that myself overstepped!” “既然如此,那在下就逾越了！” Zhan Hongzhao holds the fist in the other hand toward four sides: „God woman, you goes to the backyard to boil water, the ghost servant and I am the waiter, flatters mother when the tea female cruises...... we usually to be supplied by the master delicious tastily, a long and well-maintained army is for a decisive strik, if lets slip, being out you are also clear!” 展鸿昭向着四面一抱拳:“神婆,你去后院烧水,鬼仆与我当伙计,媚娘就当茶女揽客……咱们平日被老爷好吃好喝地供着,正所谓养兵千日,用兵一时,如若失手,下场你们也清楚！” Although the words are not heavy, several people actually hit to startle simultaneously: „We do not dare!” 话虽不重,几人却同时打了个激灵:“我们不敢！” „That is good!” “那就好！” Zhan Hongzhao shows a faint smile, he also calculates quite somewhat the manager long talent, after several arrange, the tea shop also resembles the mold type place to be open for business , there is a in twos and threes guest to enter drinks tea. 展鸿昭微微一笑,他也算颇有几分经理长才,几下布置之后,茶铺也似模似样地开张,又有三三两两的客人入内喝茶。 ‚Oh......’ ‘唉……’ Zhan Hongzhao is seeing this, several sighs. 只是,展鸿昭见着此幕,又有几声叹息。 Enters Jianghu, the body already, solid is the axiom, but mixes his degree, actually knows, what so-called Jianghu chivalrous person, black and white two, in the face of situation, is ordinary with the joke. 一入江湖,身不由已,固是至理名言,但混到他这个程度,却又知道,什么所谓的江湖豪侠,黑白两道,在大势面前,又与笑话一般。 Greenwood 18 th even/including Zhai, power and prestige illustrious how? Who does not know secretly is the Prefecture Gentry(s) domestic dog? 绿林十八连寨,威风赫赫又如何？暗地里谁不知道乃是郡望家养的狗？ These work as the real man of mountain clothes closet more miserable, because once for a while annoyed should not the person annoying, plundered should not the goods of tribulation the put in order family/home exterminates. 那些当山立柜的好汉更惨,时不时就因为惹到了不该惹的人,劫了不该劫的货而被整家诛灭。 Even, even if knows one's place, in the city, but three chi (0.33 m) law of the land, is still may momentarily on, bitterly disappointing! 甚至,就算安分守己,待在城里,但三尺王法,也是随时可上,令人心寒！ For these years saw a lot, looks a lot, the Zhan Hongzhao natural heart had the intimacy, elected to elect, finally joined in Wang Family, made Guest-Official. 这几年见得多、看得多了,展鸿昭自然心有戚戚,选了又选,最后还是投身于王家,做了客卿。 Is saying of pleasant to hear, but in fact, who does not know that is only the High Level lackey? 说着好听,但实际上,谁不知道只是高级奴才？ But this how? 但这又如何？ Has the Wang Family sign, in the family/home several hundred mu fertile farmland, no one keeps thinking finally again, but may also take care of the members of the same family, brothers who several fall on dark prison cell, put finally. 有着王家的牌子,家里数百亩良田,总算没有人再惦记,还可照顾亲族,几个落在黑牢里的兄弟,也终于放了出来。 „Such life, although is unpleasant, but also satisfied, only hopes that can continue forever, who is indestructible!
