„Honored guest please use the tea!” “贵客请用茶果！” Wu Ming and Jiang Guan mutual smalltalk two, several winning smiles were sweet, see the encouraging maidservant to hold cups fruit and flowers and other thing to offer, the hawk sound song, the mutual respect between husband and wife, every action and every movement all were the standard ancient virtuous young woman appearance. 吴明与江观又互相客套了两句,几名巧笑嫣然,见之可喜的丫鬟就捧了杯盏花果等物献上,莺声细语,举案齐眉,一举一动皆是标准的古代淑女模样。 At this time used, was not the paper person, but was the true clan female soul. 这时用的,就不是纸人,而是真正族女的香魂了。 „Many thanks!” “多谢！” Wu Ming selected a Yin jujube entrance conveniently, immediately feels an icy cold meaning along the throat straight, enters the abdomen to elevate temperature, knows that is the extremely rare thing, to praise: „Old Sir can the world reside in this, truly has the luck!” 吴明随手挑了一枚阴枣入口,顿时觉得一股冰凉之意沿着喉咙直下,入腹升温,知道乃是极难得之物,不由大赞:“老丈能世居于此,乃是真正有福的！” This is the frank talk. 这是大实话。 Some are the ghost can not be reincarnated, always perishes, relatively speaking, this place does not have the tribulation without the disaster, has mystical powers to plant the benefit, is really heavenly is really. 外界有的是冤魂不得超生,永世沉沦,相比而言,此地无灾无劫,更有灵植补益,真真是天堂一般的所在。 „Where where...... the turmoil of war, old man guarantees the remnant body reluctantly!” “哪里哪里……外界兵荒马乱,老朽不过勉强保得残躯罢了！” Jiang Guan both hands swing randomly, sees Wu Ming, although is the youngster semblance, the outstanding female but who saves to the hundred years, turns a blind eye, is only this disposition, made him one cold. 江观双手乱摇,见到吴明虽是少年外表,但对自家百年积蓄下来的优异女子,都是视若无睹,光是这份心性,就不由令他心里一凜。 After all, a Wu Ming so powerful guest visits, really made him, for fear that the opposite party settle on oneself this base industry fearful and apprehensive. 毕竟,吴明如此强大的一个客人上门,实在令他胆战心惊不已,生怕对方看中了自己这份基业。 „This poor Daoist Yin Soul travels, initially arrives at the expensive/noble boundary, actually does not know to place where, but also looks at Old Sir to inform!” “贫道阴神出游,初到贵境,却是不知身处何处,还望老丈告知！” Wu Ming actually being disinclined manages him so to be many curved circles, directly is asking. 吴明却懒得理他心里如此多弯弯绕,直接就问着。 „Does Yin Soul travel? Initially to this place?” “阴神出游？初到此地？” The Jiang Guan mouth opening , a moment later, apologized obviously with amazement smiles: „old man was rude, the honored guest excuses me!” 江观嘴巴张大,显然惊讶不已,片刻之后,却是又赔礼一笑:“老朽失态了,贵客见谅！” This also does not have any to conceal, therefore said directly: „Here is the Black Mountains ghost country!” 这个倒也没有什么好隐瞒的,因此直接道:“此处乃是黑山鬼国！” „Black Mountains...... ghost country?!” “黑山……鬼国？！” Wu Ming at heart dark startled, especially this Black Mountains two characters, made him associate to Gods and Ghosts World Black Mountain Monarch immediately, he and this mountain ridge were also big. 吴明心里暗惊,特别是这黑山两个字,立即令他联想到了神鬼世界当中的黑山君,他与此位梁子也算不小。 Therefore immediately continues saying: „This Black Mountains ghost country? This poor Daoist usually have not actually heard, does not know that...... Black Mountain Monarch has what relation(s) with Yang-world the lord of that 300 li (0.5 km) Black Mountains?” 因此当即继续道:“这黑山鬼国？贫道却是素未听闻,不知与阳世的那位三百里黑山之主……黑山君有何关系？” „!” “嘘！” Learns suddenly the name of Black Mountain Monarch, Jiang Guan is actually the complexion big change: „How can you call the Honorable King given name?” 乍闻黑山君之名,江观却是脸色大变:“你怎可如此称呼王上名讳？” This exit|to speak, made Wu Ming know immediately, Controller of this Black Mountains ghost country's, inevitably was Yang-world Black Mountain Monarch without doubt. 这一出口,却是立即令吴明知晓,这黑山鬼国的掌控者,必然是阳世的黑山君无疑了。 Complained at heart: ‚My this also calculates that delivered goods to the doorstep? Overgod your pit father......’ 心里更是不由吐槽:‘我这也算送货上门了吧？主神你个坑爹的……’ Also read and Black Mountain Monarch in the power and influence of this place blatantly founding of the nation, was at heart greatly cold. 又念及黑山君在此地公然建国的威势,更是心里大凜。 Although does not know this customary practice of the day, but Underworld is roughly interlinked, according to the strength strong and weak, basically can by the emperor and king, Duke, marquis and uncle, child, the rank division of male and gentleman. 虽然不知此世法则,但冥土大体相通,按照实力强弱,基本都可以以帝、王、公、侯、伯、子、男、士的阶位划分。 Ordinary solitary wild ghost, enters the step is not continually, is the cannon fodder in cannon fodder, the ants in ants. 普通孤魂野鬼,连入阶都算不上,乃是炮灰中的炮灰,蝼蚁中的蝼蚁。 But the general ghost difference, the Yin ghost and Malicious Ghost, have Magic Power in the body, then included the gentleman level, can settle down and get on with life in Underworld reluctantly. 而一般的鬼差,阴鬼、厉鬼,有着法力在身,便算入了士级,勉强可以在冥土安身立命。 In the Wu Ming eye, his front Jiang Guan, is this gentleman level first-class. 在吴明眼中,他面前的江观,也是这士级一流。 But Black Mountain Monarch, has netherworld the position of Duke marquis at least, this is not to seal/confer nobility, only links up with strength. 但黑山君,却是起码有着阴间的公侯之位,这不是封爵,只与实力挂钩。 Now founds the ghost country, clearly covets the Ghost King imperial throne! Even, has not established newly toward, does the idea of that Black Mountains Emperor Lord! 现在建立鬼国,分明是觊觎鬼王大位！甚至,未尝没有奠定新朝,去做那黑山帝君的想法！ The disparity of this class, each Rank 1, resembles the gap general, making the Wu Ming heart startled. 这阶层的差距,每一级,都似鸿沟一般,令吴明心惊不已。 ‚In Yin-world, the opposite party is deep-rooted, went to Yang-world to mix......’ ‘阴世之中,对方根深蒂固,还是去阳世混好了……’ At heart thinking, Wu Ming was also asking: „Is Yang-world of that this place correspondence, the Black Mountains mountain range and Heitai County boundary? Where doesn't know Heitai City God?” 心里想着,吴明却是又问:“那此地对应的阳世,可是黑山山脉与黑台县地界？不知黑台城隍何在？” „Doesn't Daoist Elder actually know?” “道长竟然不知？” Jiang Guan hears this, actually looks the color of surprise. 江观听到这个,却是面露诧异之色。 Saw that Wu Ming is puzzled, explained carefully, Wu Ming then suddenly realize. 见到吴明还是不解,却又细细解释了,吴明这才恍然大悟。 This Black Mountains ghost country, correspondence indeed is the Yang-world Black Mountains mountain range and Heitai County place, is only Yin-world is broad, the area that this projects, big ten times of hundred times continued, can ‚country’ call it fully. 这黑山鬼国,对应的的确是阳世黑山山脉与黑台县一地,只是阴世广阔,这投射下来的面积,就大了十倍百倍都不止,足可以‘国’称之。 It seems like sees this Wu Ming not many evil intentions, is asks the way purely, Jiang Guan is also hugging the idea of making good friends, said carefully, finally directs saying: „Underworld, Heitai City God does not beat Honorable King, can only guard an corner/horn self-preservation, Black Stage Yin City, trains and consolidates ghost soldier, has the battle with the Black Mountains ghost country, the everybody lose in war, the Daoist Elder honored person, not actually must mess with good......” 似乎是看出这吴明没有多少恶意,纯粹是来问路的,江观也就抱着结个善缘的想法,细细说了,最后又指点道:“此间冥土,黑台城隍不敌王上,只能据守一角自保,也有一座黑台阴城,整训鬼兵,与黑山鬼国多有交战,兵凶战危,道长尊贵之人,却是莫要沾惹的好……” „Many thanks!” “多谢！” In any event, after all hears so many news, is trip has not been made in vain, Wu Ming bows for the ritual, asked: „This poor Daoist also wants to ask, this law of returning from the grave......” 不论如何,终归听到如此多消息,已经是不虚此行,吴明稽首为礼,又问道:“贫道还想问问,这还阳之法……” Jiang Guan actually smiles bitterly: „If really has the law of returning from the grave, why I and others can also spend in distress in Underworld?” 江观却是苦笑:“若是真有还阳之法,我等为何还要在冥土苦熬？” , Also said: „...... The old man experience is superficial, actually knows, Honorable King with that Heitai City God, may communicate Yin-Yang, when there is to rotate the method of Yang-world, if you want, but asked it, but can become, and even can meet, was the border line......” 顿了顿,又道:“不过……老朽见识浅薄,却是知晓,王上与那黑台城隍,都可沟通阴阳,当有回转阳世之法,你若想要,可去求之,只是能不能成,乃至能不能见面,都是两可之间……” „In any event, many thanks Old Sir informs, this poor Daoist full feeling great kindness!” “无论如何,多谢老丈告知,贫道足感盛情！” Wu Ming sets out to salute. 吴明起身行礼。 Before this point him, has thought that is only simultaneous/uniform Dafei the partner, which regardless of asked to help at the same time, must return the benevolence unavoidably, was regarded board game piece anything, he was actually unhappy. 这一点他之前也想到过,只是齐大非偶,不论求哪一边帮助,都免不了要还恩情,被当成棋子什么的,他却是不喜。 But is not City God, is above the land / territory method duty, similarly also has to communicate the strength of Yin-Yang. 而不算城隍,就是土地法职之上,同样也有沟通阴阳之力。 Really compelled anxiously, regardless of oneself on stripped, trained Land God to come out, rotates the Yang-world means. 真逼急了,不论自己光膀子上,还是培养一个土地神出来,都是回转阳世的办法。 ‚This City God and land / territory, actually are also ** the position of strength......’ ‘这城隍、土地,却也是**力之职位……’ Wu Ming traces divine decree in bosom, moves at heart: „According to the Yin-world strength division, state City God, must be the Duke marquis level! The Prefecture City tutelary god of city is equivalent to Earl, but district City God, is actually the position of Viscount! Is one's turn Land God, turns into the share of Baron, this in fact with governance land / territory and population is also roughly quite......” 吴明摸了摸怀内的神敕,心里又是一动:“按照阴世实力划分,一州城隍,必是公侯位阶！郡城隍相当于伯爵,而一县城隍,却是子爵之位！轮到土地神,就变成男爵之份,这实际上与治理的土地、人口也是大体相当……” Such a thinks, Heitai City God can contend with Black Mountain Monarch, very somewhat was inconceivable. 这么一想,黑台城隍能抗衡黑山君,就很是有些不可思议了。 However Yin-Yang two separate, and in the middle of this also has the royal government to stand in City God behind, must have meddling of cultivation big faction, can maintain this, is actually natural, even saw the Black Mountain Monarch ominous prestige to be dreadful. 不过阴阳两隔,并且这当中还有朝廷站在城隍身后,更少不了修行大派的插手,能维持成这样,却是理所应当,甚至见得黑山君凶威滔天了。 „The Land God rank is too low, did not say that above karma entanglement, is once refining, places Heitai City God and Black Mountain Monarch common border immediately, is some pits......” “土地神位分还是太低,不说上面的因果纠缠,就是一旦炼化,立马身处黑台城隍与黑山君交界,还是有些坑啊……” Wu Ming scratches the head: „Other Reincarnator, like me? That may really be the difficulty of hell rank!” 吴明挠挠头:“难道其它轮回者,也都像我这样？那可真是地狱级别的难度了！” Has transferred so many thoughts at heart, looks like in Jiang Guan, Wu Ming hesitates slightly, sets out, reveals the intention to leave. 心里转过这么多念头,在江观看来,吴明只是微微沉吟,就起身,流露出去意。 At this time, Jiang Guan actually trembled at heart, induces something, the exit|to speak urged: „Honored guest Fatigue of travel, might as well rests a evening, old man delivers several li (0.5 km) again!” 只是这个时候,江观却是心里一颤,感应到某物,出口劝道:“贵客舟车劳顿,不妨休息一晚,老朽再亲送数里！” „So thank your for your hospitality!” “如此叨扰了！” Wu Ming slightly has surprised, actually does not decline. 吴明略有惊讶,却也不怎么推辞。 „Okay!” “好好！” Sees Wu Ming to comply, Jiang Guan actually lights up with pleasure: „Honored guest in clearing the way for the emperor's passage in this, is actually the brilliance my lintel, Bai Cui, leading the honored guest to go to the best room, served quite!” 见到吴明答应下来,江观却是喜笑颜开:“贵客驻跸于此,却是光耀我门楣,白翠,带贵客去上房,好生伺候了！” „Yes!” “诺！” In the maidservant most has color one, then to a Wu Ming lian front piece ritual: „Honored guest also please come with me!” 那侍女中最有颜色的一位,便对着吴明裣衽一礼:“贵客还请跟我来！” „Good!” “甚好！” In Wu Ming eye fine glow flashes, suddenly smiles, slowly with. 吴明眼中精芒一闪,忽然一笑,慢慢跟了上去。 The Jiang Family mansion is large, the lobby crosses the lane, passes through several corridors and gardens, sees is the female is in the majority, makes the Wu Ming secret surprise. 江家大宅颇大,一路穿堂过巷,走过几处走廊与花园,所见都是女子居多,令吴明暗暗诧异。 Arrived east wing, this is to entertain the honored guest specially uses, the fine silk agalloch eaglewood, gold/metal Shayu the tent/account, arranges luxuriously, actually does not see the colorful custom extremely. 到了东厢房,这是专门为招待贵客所用,绮罗沉香,金纱玉帐,布置得极为奢华,却又不见艳俗。 Most made Wu Ming appreciate, was actually the middle sandal wood long and narrow table, above celadon ware vase, folded several bunches of Chimonathus Praecoxes, above dewdrop still, markup elegant outstanding air/Qi. 最令吴明欣赏的,却是中间一座檀木案桌,其上的青瓷花瓶中,又折了几束腊梅,上面露珠犹在,更增高雅不群之气。 At this time Bai Cui also led two pretty maidservants to be busy at opening, first brings two gift boxes, middle is the good wine delicacies that Yin Soul may enjoy, stood and other Wu Ming to eat and drink, was goes forward to make a bed pack of quilts, lit the red candle, at this time arrived at the near, the sound was low, if mosquito cry: „Can honored guest also need other serving?” 这时白翠又带着两个俏丽丫鬟忙开,先是带来两个食盒,当中都是阴神可享用的美酒佳肴,侍立着等吴明吃喝完,又是上前铺床叠被,点燃红烛,这时才来到近前,声音低若蚊鸣:“贵客可还需别的伺候？” „Has the work! No need!” “有劳！不必！” Wu Ming takes care to this is quite satisfied, sees this female words and deeds custom, is actually gently one finger/refers. 吴明对这服侍还比较满意,见此女言行规矩,却是轻轻一指。 a trace Scarlet Qi, lingers on, making this Bai Cui body tremble, in the surface appeared two groups to blush, actually knelt down suddenly: „Daughter many thanks Daoist Elder obligation!” 一丝赤气,就萦绕而上,令这白翠身子一颤,面上浮现出两团红晕,却是突然跪下:“民女多谢道长大恩！” This a trace Scarlet Qi, naturally cannot be regarded anything to Wu Ming, a drop in the bucket, but this ordinary Ghost Race, can actually consolidate the physique, maintains keenly intelligent does not fall, this was the obligation. 这一丝赤气,对吴明自然算不得什么,九牛一毛,但她这种普通鬼类,得之却是可以巩固形体,保持灵慧不坠,这就是大恩了。 „, You get down!” “罢了,你下去吧！” Wu Ming waves, this time really caught up with the person. 吴明挥挥手,这次是真的赶人了。 Sees this, bottom of the Bai Cui eye pupil flashes through the a trace low-spirited color, actually salutes to draw back mild-mannered. 见此,白翠眼眸底部闪过一丝黯然之色,却是柔顺行礼退开。 Above the Wu Ming sitting cross-legged bed, the eye shuts slightly, resembling is the deep sleep. 吴明盘坐床榻之上,眼睛微微一闭,似是沉睡。 ...... …… „Old Ancestor!” “老祖宗！” Bai Cui had/left the side building, actually arrived at Jiang Guan there. 白翠出了厢房,却是又到了江观那里。 „Among my family female, beautiful color takes you as the crown, furthermore intelligent gentle, that doesn't Daoist move unexpectedly?” “我家女子当中,丽色以你为冠,更兼聪明温婉,那道人居然不动心？” Jiang Guan is frowning, the right hand continuously to grab must steadily, seems the matter of what worrying. 江观皱着眉头,右手不住抓着长须,似有什么烦心之事。 „Why does father worry?” “父亲为何发愁？” Before nearby Wu Ming, has not seen the middle-aged person, the appearance and Jiang Guan have 5-6 minute of similar, asking. 旁边一名吴明之前没有见过的中年人,面目与江观倒有五六分相似,就问着。 „Oh......” “唉……” Jiang Guan grows the tone: „Old man sets up the dwelling in this, although was exploited the oppression by the two sides, actually may also guarantee the family to be peaceful and undisturbed, until now more than hundred years......” 江观长出口气:“老夫立宅于此,虽受两边盘剥压迫,却还可保家族安泰,至今百余年矣……” „Is only Yang-world my Jiang Family deterioration, feared that was how long the sacrificial offering cannot maintain, in 30 years, perhaps I and others must become solitary wild ghost, how can the old man not for this reason day and night the worry?” “只是阳世我江家衰败,怕是祭祀维持不了多久,再过三十年,我等恐怕就要成为孤魂野鬼了,老夫又怎么能不为此日夜忧心呢？” Yin-world Blessed Land, depends entirely on the Yang-world sacrificial offering and even Destiny maintains. 阴世福地,全靠阳世祭祀乃至气运维持。 Without this, disappointed is affirmed greatly, but thinks of the pitiful condition, regardless of the middle age or Bai Cui hit to startle. 一旦没了这个,大受打击是肯定的,而一想到外界的惨状,无论中年还是白翠都不由打了个激灵。 „Child is unfilial, is unable to share sorrow for the father!” “孩儿不孝,无法为父亲分忧！” Two people kneel down, the middle-aged person is asking: „Is only this matter, has what relation(s) with that Daoist?” 两人就跪下,还是中年人问着:“只是此事,与那道人有何关系？” „Was selected for the father long ago, later the stepping down country studies, actually also involves the side door, studying was the same ‚heart trigram’ the law......” “为父早年中举,之后退居乡野读书,却也涉及旁门,学了一样‘心卦’之法……” Jiang Guan sighed: „Although sometimes spirit sometimes does not work, but was seeing that Daoist before, is actually prompted by a sudden impulse, knows my family to hope, in an important matter, but that thing, has the connection with this Daoist greatly!” 江观就是叹息:“虽然时灵时不灵,但之前见着那道人,却是心血来潮,知道我家希望,就在一件要紧物事上,而那物,与此道人大有关联！” „So...... so......” “如此……如此……” The middle-aged people around the circle, are actually not able to think. 中年人绕着圈子,却是无法可想。 „My original intention, if this Daoist likes Bai Cui, then delivered her to go, bent/tune intent flattered again, satisfies both sides, does to......” “我本意,若此道人喜欢白翠,便送了她去,再曲意奉承,两全其美,奈何……” Jiang Guan sighed spookily. 江观幽幽一叹。 Bai Cui kneels to bend down in the place, is nipping the red lips, flashes through a trace to be sorrowful at heart, actually does not dare to revolt. 白翠跪伏在地,咬着朱唇,心里闪过一丝悲哀,却是不敢反抗。 No one had discovered, on her, actually the wisp of weak red light, flashes passes.( To be continued.) 只是谁也没有发现,在她身上,却有一缕微弱红光,一闪即逝。(未完待续。)
