Xiangfu first year. Early winter. 祥符元年。初冬。 Close to the Liangzhou city, a thinly clothed delicate young girl and a cassock worn-out youngster Buddhist priest go hand in hand. 临近凉州城,一位衣衫单薄的清秀少女和一名袈裟破旧的少年僧人结伴而行。 „Stupid north and south, this arrived in Liangzhou quickly, was I getting more and more anxious? Almost can have under a first chapter of peeping mountain the seductress's my father to the love letter that writes, is anxious!” “笨南北,这都快到凉州了,我咋越来越紧张了？差不多能有头一回偷看山下狐狸精给我爹写的情书,那么紧张！” „Near nostalgia is timid. In any case Xu Fengnian family/home, calculated your half family/home.” “近乡情怯呗。反正徐凤年的家,也算你半个家了。” „A monk asked for leniency, you did not fear that Mr. in Western Paradise sneezed to be drown to death you?” “一个和尚说情,你也不怕住在西天的佛老爷打个喷嚏淹死你？” „Master also has teacher's wife, has not seen Master to fear that windy rain thunders.” “师父还有师娘呢,也没见师父怕刮风下雨打雷啊。” „Stupid north and south, you said that our did not have half copper coin to buy the attractive rouge cosmetic, does he will feel my a girl undergoes many changes as she grows up, longer was uglier?” “笨南北,你说咱这趟也没半颗铜钱去买漂亮胭脂水粉了,他会不会觉得我女大十八变,越长越难看？” „Where can!” “哪能啊！” „This is you ensure, if when the time comes is not this, I punch you not to discuss.” “这可是你保证的,如果到时候不是这样,我揍你不商量啊。” „Amitabha......” “阿弥陀佛……” „Stupid north and south, tests your issue, your Buddhists......” “笨南北,考你一个问题,你们佛家……” „Stops, the plum, your family is my family, what is ‚your Buddhists’, I was picked the latter belt/bring to climb mountains by Master in the past, teacher's wife helps the hair that I shave, teacher's wife said that in I cried to be thin at that time crash-bang, you take a look, my little while much is big, has known that oneself did not like being the monk.” “打住打住,李子,你家就是我家啊,啥叫‘你们佛家’,我当年是被师父捡到后带上山的,还是师娘帮我剃的头发,师娘说我当时哭得稀里哗啦,你瞧瞧,我那会儿才多大,就已经知道自己不喜欢当和尚了。” „Good was good, your direct reaction my why Buddhism said that the heart does not have all the wisdom, then these Bodhisattvas make the great aspirations greatly, holds one of the reading? If can the words, how also be likely to achieve Buddhahood?” “行了行了,你就直接回答我为什么佛门都说心无所住皆般若,那么那些菩萨大发宏愿,算不算执念的一种？若是的话,怎么还能有望成佛啊？” „This...... the plum, waited for my achieving Buddhahood after-burning to have the Buddhist relics otherwise, replied you again?” “这个啊……李子,要不然等我成佛后烧出了舍利,再来回答你？” „You were so bald with these sizes before **? No wonder the senior abbot always likes falling behind the copper coin, mother makes me urge, senior abbot each time bitter with eating stomach ache. Definitely is the senior abbot shuts out your view to preach in a complete mess.” “你以前就这么跟那些大小光头**的？难怪老方丈总喜欢拖欠铜钱,娘让我去催,老方丈每次都苦哈哈跟吃坏肚子似的。肯定是老方丈嫌弃你说法讲经一塌糊涂。” „......” “……” „Well? Stupid north and south, how did you cry? Is your prospect a little good, the senior abbot achieved Buddhahood, did not die!” “咦？笨南北,你怎么哭了？你有点出息好不好,老方丈是成佛了,又不是死了！” „When cries when when cries, smiles smiles, eats eats, rests rests, read reads, when the dried fish resounded I was Buddha, this was Master teaches me.” “哭时哭,笑时笑,吃时吃,睡时睡,念时念,木鱼响起时我即佛,这是师父教我的啊。” „Forget it, you were how stupid, did not become aware the Buddhist doctrine thoroughly, if even you achieve Buddhahood, later who is also willing to believe in Buddhism!” “得了吧,你怎么笨,连佛法都悟不透彻,万一连你都成了佛,以后谁还愿意信佛呐！” „Hey......” “嘿……” „Right, stupid north and south, speaking of the dried fish, how to see my father to make you knock?” “对了,笨南北,说到木鱼,怎么没见过我爹让你敲过？” „Our family/home does not have.” “我们家也没有啊。” „Also right, our that cheapskate neighbors, Huineng was greatly bald hid the thief precious dried fish of actually, listening to my mother saying that was the Western Shu Chinese parasol tree carving, made an effort to knock, inside and outside dozens could hear. You said real false?” “也对,不过咱们的那个小气鬼邻居,慧能大光头倒是藏了个贼名贵的木鱼,听我娘说是西蜀梧桐雕刻而成的,使劲一敲,数十里外都听得到。你说真的假的啊？” „Naturally is false, has teacher's wife to descend the mountain to buy one set to have a liking for a long time clothes, Master does not have the extra money exactly on hand, I runs to hide from teacher's wife on drawing, meets to drink with abbot Huineng secretly, abbot Huineng drank is drinking is drinking happily, sat the ground to hold that dried fish to pat the most evening, I stood to them in out of the door at that time act as lookout, without feeling dried fish sound loud, that matter. Actually, teacher's wife is worries about that dried fish to be valuable, has teacher's wife to look I do laundry said inadvertently, she said that in the future must this dried fish along going home, then gives you to work as the dowry, the style!” “当然是假的,有次师娘要下山买一套看上好久的衣裳,恰好师父手头没余钱,就拉我跑出去躲师娘,跟慧能方丈偷偷碰头喝酒,慧能方丈喝着喝着就喝高兴了,坐地上捧着那木鱼拍了大半个晚上,我当时就给他们站在门外望风,也没觉得木鱼声有多响啊,就那么回事。其实啊,师娘是惦念那木鱼值钱哩,有回师娘看我洗衣服的时候说漏嘴了,她说将来一定要把这木鱼顺回家,然后给你当嫁妆,气派！” „My mother...... a few years ago my mother saw Huineng to be greatly bald no wonder each time, asked that greatly baldly how old. Oh, my mother only saunters in the foot small town luckily, never walk rivers and lakes, otherwise which Young Hero person of high skill is glad to respond her.” “我的娘咧……难怪前些年每次我娘见着慧能大光头,就问那颗大光头多大年纪了。唉,幸好我娘只在山脚小镇上转悠,从不行走江湖,否则哪个少侠高人乐意搭理她。” „Has Master to tighten teacher's wife in any case, teacher's wife is not being glad to collect toward Gangho-ri. Also, teacher's wife always spoke woman under mountain not to eat the person not to spit the tigress of bone, is the seductress of light/only long leather bag not long brain, particularly that Tai'an City, the avenue is completely some not bashful not bashful not proper woman, is the Master restricted area. Where teacher's wife feels relieved Master, otherwise this Master goes to Capital City, teacher's wife will not follow, yes?” “反正有师父紧着师娘,师娘也不乐意往江湖里凑的。再说了,师娘总讲山下的女子不是吃人不吐骨头的母老虎,就是光长皮囊不长脑子的狐狸精,尤其是那个太安城,满大街尽是些不羞不臊不正经的女子,一直就是师父的禁地。师娘哪里放心师父,要不然这趟师父去京城,师娘也不会跟着,是吧？” „Wu Nanbei! Believes me to tell my mother!?” “吴南北！信不信我告诉我娘去！？” „Amitabha...... Master, no wonder you were reproven by teacher's wife each time do not talk back, said that wrong many, the disciple increases the mouth industry to add the worry. I a little understood.” “阿弥陀佛……师父,难怪你每次被师娘训斥都不还口,说多错多,徒增口业添烦恼。我有点懂了。” „Stupid north and south, what did you whisper?” “笨南北,你嘀嘀咕咕说了什么？” On the path, the young girl arouses the cheek help/gang, walks while gets hold of the double fist to do to knock the dried fish shape. 道路上,少女鼓足腮帮,一边走一边握紧双拳作敲木鱼状。 „Thump thump thump ~ when dried fish resounds I am Buddha, eyah eyah yo ~ thump thump thump ~” “咚咚咚~木鱼响起时我即佛,咿呀咿呀呦~咚咚咚~” The youngster Buddhist priest casts aside quietly excessively, smiles. 少年僧人悄悄撇过头,偷着笑。 On this day, the sunlight is warm. 这一天,阳光温暖。 - -- As the Xijing city of Beimang Southern Dynasty center, the given name fine son-in-law city, once was a fair city, as north that rushed to flooding into of scholars mighty current, gradually had the deep spooky Jiangnan garden, had this respect ancestor wind of rich black tile white wall, had private conceals of farming and studying aristocratic family, had strangely ringing reading sound, had merry clean tall Guanbo to bring, has the beautiful woman towed in exquisite silk long skirt, had by native dazzling assorted eating. The fine son-in-law city is day-by-day full, until suddenly becoming the Beimang alternate capital, as expands unceasingly, had this earth dike to close the aristocrat and external new hereditary scholar class occupies the deliberation hall of half of the country respectively, had three to save six systems, was abundance of capable people, magnificent deep show. 作为北莽南朝中枢的西京城,本名佳婿城,曾经不过是一座中规中矩的城池,随着那股北奔士子洪流的涌入,逐渐有了深深幽幽的江南庭院,有了敦本敬祖之风浓郁的黑瓦白墙,有了耕读世家的私人藏,有了陌生的朗朗读书声,有了风流倜傥的高冠博带,有了佳人拖曳在地的锦绣长裙,有了让当地人眼花缭乱的各色吃食。佳婿城一天一天饱满,直到一举成为北莽的陪都,随着不断扩建,更有了本土陇关贵族和外来新士族各占半壁江山的朝堂,有了三省六部制,人才济济,蔚然深秀。 This city, as more than 20 years of years pass, were looked like grew into the plump beautiful woman by the thin little girl. 这座城池,随着二十余年岁月推移,就像是由清瘦的小女孩长成了体态丰腴的美妇人。 Then in this compared with the past slightly lonely imperial road on, one group is walking slowly, the person of lead is an old woman, the age of old woman, naturally is not new Xijing can compare. 然后在这个比往日略显冷清的御道上,有一行人缓缓走着,领头之人是位老妪,老妇人的岁数,自然不是新西京可以比拟的。 Side the old woman who throws over old fox fur coat follows an old Confucian scholar, back some , a middle-aged swordsman and 50 -year-old a tall and strong man with saber, walks side-by-side. 披一件旧狐裘子的老妪身边跟着一名年迈儒士,更后边一些,又跟着一名佩剑的中年剑客和一位五十来岁的魁梧男人,并肩而行。 The old woman said with a smile suddenly in a soft voice: „Heard that our army gods met that family of three in Huishan, cannot hit.” 老妪突然轻声笑道:“听说咱们的军神在徽山遇上那一家三口了,就是没能打起来。” Clothes old man un. 青衫老者嗯了一声。 The old women sigh with emotion: „In wall blooms outside the crenellated wall the fragrance? Do two people who why We appreciate very much, want to go to Liyang? Dares to kill imperial capital city wall to look with Us single-handedly, that one person is sect. If We have not remembered incorrectly, this one person of sect, the position can also in the Princess grave and above your chess sword musical conservatory? If they are willing to keep Beimang...... to consider as finished, did not say.” 老妇人感慨道:“墙内开花墙外香吗？为何朕很欣赏的两个人,都要前往离阳？一个敢单枪匹马杀到帝京城墙脚下与朕对望,还有那个,一人即是一座宗门。如果朕没有记错,这个只有一人的宗门,名次还要在公主坟和你们棋剑乐府之上吧？他们若是肯留在北莽……算了,不说也罢。” The chess sword musical conservatory has four big experts when most peak, although advances into martial Ping yellow Baozhu or demon Luo Yang to revolt Beimang, but Hong Jingyan is the supple however cavalry lord, sword qi is near and bronze statue founder is also Beimang few top players. 棋剑乐府在最巅峰时坐拥四大高手,虽然跻身武评的黄宝珠或者说魔头洛阳已经叛出北莽,但洪敬岩已是柔然铁骑共主,剑气近和铜人祖师也是北莽屈指可数的顶尖高手。 World who dares to belittle the chess sword musical conservatory? 世间谁敢小觑棋剑乐府？ The old man of poor and pedantic old meek appearance smiles, „if this is not the case, were that rivers and lakes short of many pleasure?” 穷酸老儒模样的老者笑了笑,“若非如此,那江湖岂不是少了许多乐趣？” The old women turn the head to look to the middle-aged person of that saber, „yellow azure, opposes the enemy with that person, can have the odds of success?” 老妇人转头望向那个佩剑的中年人,“黄青,与那人对敌,可有胜算？” Did not ask several points of odds of success, but was „may have odds of success”! 不是问几分胜算,而是“可有胜算”！ Was asked the person nods. 被问之人点了点头。 Although this answer not pleasantly surprised, good and evil also being insufficient makes the old woman be greatly disappointed. 这个答案虽不让人惊喜,好歹也不至于让老妪大失所望。 Yellow azure, given name Sun Shaopu. Chess sword musical conservatory word brand name „sword qi is near”, simultaneously Hong Jingyan Master. Because taunted the temporary shortage in Beimang sword forest in Liyang Dynasty resentfully wantonly, even some people threatened that the entire Beimang rivers and lakes no one may discuss Sword Dao. 黄青,本名孙少朴。棋剑乐府词牌名“剑气近”,同时还是洪敬岩的师父。因为愤懑于离阳王朝大肆嘲讽北莽剑林的青黄不接,甚至有人扬言整座北莽江湖无一人可谈剑道。 He therefore changes name to yellow azure. 他因此改名黄青。 Can let sword qi nearly takes on retinue from the old woman, the status is also obvious. 能让剑气近担当扈从的老妇人,身份也就显而易见。 This late in life female eagle, soars day after day in the years of prairie all eagle higher sky, for a long time is too too long. 这头日渐迟暮的雌鹰,飞翔在大草原所有雄鹰更高天空的岁月,已经太久太久了。 One line of four people have walked into Xijing Miyag, then under Si Lijian is in charge the court eunuch to lead cautiously, finally only then Empress Murong and that peaceful command walk into a lonesome and quiet garret. 一行四人一直走入西京宫城,然后在司礼监掌印太监小心翼翼地引领下,最终只有慕容女帝和那位太平令走入一座幽静阁楼。 In the building has unclear material quality gray-black to carve the chi Longgang Yin, vat less than half people are high, but is especially huge, wrested away the most position of entire garret hall. 楼内有一口不明材质的灰黑色阴刻螭龙缸,缸不过半人高,但是尤为巨大,霸占了整个阁楼大厅的大半位置。 Empress Murong both hands place to seep the cool clear vat along, narrows the eye to lower the head to look at that vat clear water. 慕容女帝双手放在沁凉的圆润缸沿上,眯起眼低头望着那缸清水。 This big vat name „stings dormancy”, she only then after usurping the throne to proclaim oneself emperor to sit the dragon chair, some people enter the palace quietly with her report/give report, the flood dragon is dormant to sleep in the cylinder bottom. 这只大缸名“蜇眠”,她只有在篡位称帝坐上龙椅后,才有人悄然入宫跟她禀报,有一尾蛟龙蛰伏而眠于缸底。 As far as eyes can reach, whether there is the flood dragon cannot see, but in line of sight that picture already enough treacherous. 一眼望去,有无蛟龙看不出,但视线中那幅画面已经足够诡谲。 The calmness does not have the wave, water surface obviously static, everywhere is uneven. 无风无浪,水面明明静止,却处处不平。 If identifies carefully, faintly visible in-cylinder has in many different color cyprinus micristius hovering water not to swim tows. 若是仔细辨认,依稀可见缸内有许多不同色彩的小鲤悬停水中不游曳。 Empress Murong raised the head to observe the situation for a week, except for the side peaceful command, in room only then nine people, has in Dao and Virtue Sect the position to be next to Imperial Preceptor Yuan Qingshan southern ocean True Person, there is a Beimang status to be most secret actually most excels at the wind angle occupying the imperial edict the practicing breathing exercises gentleman's first person, the ancestry generation is the Beimang imperial family deduces the divination book divines by astrology everyone Yelyu Guangzhu. These nine depth occupy this place dozens years of true recluse, was Southern Dynasty takes office southern institute king yellow Songpu unable to meet, did not need to expect as for other Southern Dynasty powerful officials, perhaps was not clear about in the Xijing city to have such a strange garret, had such a bewildered big vat, gathered so many outstandingly able person different gentlemen. 慕容女帝抬起头环视一周,除了身边的太平令,屋内就只有九人,其中既有道德宗内地位仅次于国师袁青山的南溟真人,也有北莽身份最隐秘却是最擅风角占敕的练气士第一人,还有祖辈世代为北莽皇室推演谶纬的占星大家耶律光烛。这九个深居此地数十年的真正隐士,便是南朝上任南院大王黄宋濮也没能都见过一面,至于其他南朝权贵就更不用奢望了,恐怕都不清楚西京城内有这么一座奇怪阁楼,有这么一口莫名其妙的大缸,聚集了这么多奇人异士。 Empress Murong asked in a soft voice: „That said that the oneself body has the sickness temporarily not toward Liyang Son of Heaven Zhao Dun of meeting, now was where?” 慕容女帝轻声问道:“那个说自己身体有恙暂不朝会的离阳天子赵惇,如今身在何处了？” full Touhe sends actually the face tenderly such as southern ocean True Person of young child to raise a slender purple bamboo pole, arrives at Empress Murong the body bank, stretches out the long bamboo pole, in some distance water surface two chi (0.33 m) high place, drew a small circle gently. Hundred -year-old Dao and Virtue Sect old Divine Immortal voice also such as child not different, said clearly: „Infers by the position, Zhao Dun truly such as the spider web intelligence report said that side the secret has patrolled two Liaoning.” 满头鹤发却面孔嫩如稚童的南溟真人提着一根纤细的紫色竹竿,走到慕容女帝身畔,伸出长竿,在距离水面两尺高的某个地方,轻轻画了一个小圆。百岁高龄的道德宗老神仙连嗓音也如孩童无异,清脆说道:“以位置推断,赵惇确实如蛛网谍报所言,已经秘密巡边两辽了。” Empress Murong points at raps the vat edge gently, jokes: „Knows the destiny the age, must die before Our such old woman, but also is really pitiful.” 慕容女帝手指轻轻敲击缸沿,讥笑道:“才知天命的岁数,就要死在朕这么个老妇人前头,还真是可怜。” All around is silent, no one dares to reply. 四周寂静无声,没有谁敢答话。 She also asked: „Except for symbolizing Chen Zhibao that little thing gave birth to dragon claw suddenly, but also there is a situation that what is worth mentioning?” 她又问道:“除了象征陈芝豹的那条小东西突然生出了龙爪,还有什么值得一提的情况？” south ocean True Person selected with the purple bamboo pole compared with previously the southerly several points of places, „Zhang Julu that in -cylinder fell four chi (0.33 m), will soon depart for the deep.” 南溟真人用紫竹竿点了点比先前偏南几分的地方,“张巨鹿那一尾,在缸内下坠了四尺,即将沉底。” The old women laugh, „good Liyang Dynasty to commit suicide its deer.” 老妇人哈哈大笑,“好一个离阳王朝自杀其鹿。” Position that at this moment in the old True Person hand the bamboo pole directs, did not have the accident/surprise to be Tai'an City. 此刻老真人手中竹竿所指点的位置,不出意外应该就是太安城了。 This after True Person Qilin flies upwards Dao and Virtue Sect new sovereign unemotional, moves the bamboo pole, in the Northwest site, „Xu Fengnian stopped over in bosom Yangguan as before.” 这位在麒麟真人飞升之后的道德宗新任宗主面无表情,移动竹竿,在西北方位点了一下,“徐凤年依旧在怀阳关一带逗留。” Suddenly, the tail length is less than two cuns (2.5 cm) small black carp to leap the water surface suddenly, is not falls the home position, but displaced some positions to the west slightly. 突然,有一尾长不及两寸的小黑鲤骤然跃出水面,然后不是坠回原位,而是稍稍向西偏移了些位置。 Empress Murong knits the brows: „Is this?” 慕容女帝皱眉道:“这是？” south ocean True Person still urgently not slow did not say with the voice of that naivete: „Is Xu Longxiang. Some have not entered Heavenly Phenomenon Boundary military person, but carries the destiny, only if the internal energy leak is extremely fierce, otherwise in -cylinder gains a footing even if, their positions will also be slurred. Practicing breathing exercises gentleman who these are good at collecting the air/Qi, is so. But once leaks the secret, again the difficult escaping justice to be extensive. Is close to the Terrestrial Divine Immortal character as for these, their life fish will even disrupt in the vat the water.” 南溟真人依然用那稚气的语音不急不缓说道:“是徐龙象。有些不曾进入天象境界但是身负气运的武人,除非气机外泄太过厉害,否则哪怕在缸内占据一席之地,他们的方位也会模糊不清。那些善于敛气的练气士,更是如此。可一旦泄露天机,就再难逃法网恢恢了。至于那些接近陆地神仙的人物,他们的本命鱼甚至会扰乱缸中水。” „For example?” “比如？” „Wudang Headmaster Li Yu fu, previously this person once initiated the secret to be shocked, causes the vat water overflow.” “武当掌教李玉斧,先前此人曾引发天机震动,导致缸水外溢。” „Also?” “还有吗？” „Has. Huang Longshi, Tantai is quiet, Xie Feiyu. Is the clue fuzzy three people, had the indication one after another.” “有。黄龙士,澹台平静,谢飞鱼。原本最是线索模糊的三人,陆续有了征兆。” „That Cao Changqing?” “那曹长卿？” „Since became Confucianist Sage, has naturally jumped out of outside the vat.” “既然成了儒家圣人,自然就已跳出缸外。” The one asked questions and other answered arrived here, Empress Murong thinks deeply about the moment, thought aloud: „Was willow Gui the army main force has bumped into with the dragon army likely?” 一问一答到这里,慕容女帝思索片刻,自言自语道:“难道是柳珪大军主力已经跟龙象军碰上了？” south ocean True Person hesitant, shakes the head saying: „It is not right. Should be Xu Longxiang went to west of the deep green city place, met that Qiang to ride.” 南溟真人犹豫了一下,摇头说道:“不对。应该是徐龙象去了青苍城以西的地方,遇上了那支羌骑。” The old woman complexion is gloomy, but quick stretches on the facial expression, „you have two sons in any case.” 老妇人脸色阴沉不定,但很快就神情舒展开来,“反正你有两个儿子。” The peaceful command guessed correctly Empress Murong in the heart to think, tranquil say/way: „Since exposes weaknesses, then can let yellow azure and bronze statue assassinates Xu Longxiang, such opportunity, later is very difficult to have again.” 太平令猜出了慕容女帝心中所想,平静道:“既然露出了破绽,那么可以让黄青和铜人去刺杀徐龙象,这样的机会,以后很难再有。” The old woman thumb makes an effort according to slightly in the vat along, asked: „Can catch up?” 老妇人拇指微微用力按在缸沿上,问道:“赶得上？” The old Confucian scholar of said with a smile as Emperor Beimang: „Makes them catch up toward that side as far as possible, later looked at the both sides luck quality.” 作为北莽帝师的老儒生笑道:“尽量让他们往那边赶,之后就看双方运气好坏了。” The old women said with a smile: „That gives a try.” 老妇人笑道:“那就试试看。” This peaceful command turns around to go out of the room without hesitation, goes to brief personally with sword qi near yellow azure. 这位太平令毫不犹豫转身走出屋子,去跟剑气近黄青面授机宜。 The old women self-examine answer: „If became, both sides manipulate strategically the class/flow states of so many rounds, but can also have the weaponry to hit?” 老妇人自问自答:“如果成了,那双方勾心斗角这么多回合的流州,还能有仗打吗？” „No!” “没啦！”
