435: Qingfeng Town 435: Qingfeng Town Editor: Exodus Tales  王妃起身,语气有几分无奈:”可不是?傅师兄的面子,不能不给,把他打发去天海阁,怎么也有两三个月的清净.” The Queen stood up and sighed.

“Senior brother Fu’s words must be taken seriously too.

Sending him to the Heavenly Sea Pavillion would at least give him two to three months of peace.”   中州王失笑:”傅惊涛真是越活越回去了,都要退位的人了,还被个小辈折腾得苦不堪言.” This made the King of Zhongzhou broke into laughter.

“Fu Jingtao is really not easy, he’s about to retire yet he is still being troubled badly by a junior?”   “不怪他,谁叫星儿想一出是一出,叫人难以招架.”王妃话意一转,”正好,趁着这个机会,第一宗传位之事,赶紧办了吧,七真观该换代了.” “We can’t blame him.

It’s Xing-er who full of wicked ideas, making him hard to deal with.” Then turn to the King of Zhongzhou.

“Just nice, we could seize this chance and finish the passing down of the first clan.

It’s time the newer generation in the Seventh Truth Platform emerges.

这下换成中州王的目光意味深长了:”嘴上说他难应付,最惯孩子的,还不是你?” The King of Zhongzhou raised a brow and looked at her.

“You said that he’s hard to deal with, but the person who spoilt him the most is you too.”   王妃失笑:”星儿可没有胡乱闹事,七真观是该整顿了.” The Queen broke into laughter.

“Xing-er did not create any trouble.

It’s indeed the time that we reorganize the Seventh Truth Platform.”   中州王伸指点了点她,却没说什么.

King of Zhongzhou jabbed her lightly but said nothing.

另一边的九瑶宫,刘极真也把陆明舒叫了过去.

On the other hand, Liu Jizhen could Lu Mingshu over too.

“下个月是天海阁问海先生的寿诞,你去一趟.” “Next month is the Heavenly Sea Pavillion’s Sir Wen Hai’s birthday celebration.

You should attend it.”   陆明舒这些日子,除了修炼就是教元榕,其他事务一概不搭理,听刘极真这么说,愣了下:”师父,为何让我去?” Lu Mingshu has been spending her days practising and teaching Yuan Rong.

She has not touched other matters for a long time.

The news she received shocked her.

“Master, why?”   “七真观有消息传来.”刘极真说,”玉鼎峰似乎有意和天海阁联姻.” “There has been news from the Seventh Truth Platform.” Liu Jizhen said.

“That the Ancient Jade Summit has proposed marriage to the Heavenly Sea Platform.”   “联姻?”陆明舒道,”各派弟子之间,不是一直都有往来吗?这不算奇事吧?” “Arranged marriage?” Lu Mingshu asked.

“The disciples have always been its contact, there’s nothing shocking, no?”   就如同之前王妃想求娶凌无瑕,古夏只有这么大,除了那些专注武道终身不婚的,各派不能只靠内部解决,与他派联姻是必然之事.尤其三大派,弟子互有婚娶,根本称不上联姻.

Ancient China is huge, other than martial artist who chose to focus on cultivating for their life, the most sect would hold arranged marriage, it’s impossible to manage their problems alone, just like how the Queen wanted Ling Wuxia to be her daughter-in-law, arrange marriage is common.

Moreover, it’s a common thing for the top three sects disciple to marry each other, there isn’t even a need to arrange the marriage.

“如果对象是凌无瑕和寇威呢?” “If the party is Ling Wuxia and Kou Wei?”   “…”这两人的形象在脑海里互相交替,陆明舒露出一言难尽的表情.他们的性格,想合得来很难吧?不过也说不好,凌无瑕肯装的话,跟寇威也能琴瑟和谐…

“….”Lu Mingshu recalled how the two of them is like, and smiled grimly.

~With their characters, it’s impossible for them to live in peace!

Unless Ling Wuxia is willing to put on an act than it would work out….”   “你这些日子,一直闭门苦修,是以有些事,为师没有与你详说…” “You have been busy practising these days, thus master has not told you about somethings…”   刘极真把目前的局势大概说了一遍,末了道:”虽说有七真观这个挡箭牌在前面,但我们也不可能置身事外.真要说的话,现在没人来动我们,也是忌惮着七真观.” Liu Jizhen summarized the situation now.

“Even though we have the Seventh Truth Platform as our shield now, we could not sit aside and watch the show too.

There’s nobody going against us now is just because they fear of the Seventh Truth Platform.”   不久前,谢廉贞大过年赶到西川,留了三个月才走,这事谁不知道?两派到底是什么关系,没摸透前,没人会轻易动九瑶宫.

Not before long, Xie Lianzhen came over to Xi Chuan and made a stay for three months.

It’s now a well-known fact.

And before anyone could get known of the relationship between the two sects now, nobody would dare to lay a finger on the Nine Jade Palace.

但,他们可以靠七真观庇护一时,不能庇护一世.

The Seventh Truth platform can cover them now, but it does not mean they could forever.

“师父的意思是,我且出面震慑一番?” “Do master mean that I should show up to scare them all?”   刘极真点头,又道:”还有一个目的.玉鼎峰欲与天海阁联姻,凌无瑕岂会缺席问海先生的寿宴?若是能破坏这桩婚事,你就把它破坏了.” Liu Jizhen nodded.

“And also to break the arranged marriage.

Ling Wuxia would sure turn up at the celebration.

If you could ruin this marriage, do so.”   陆明舒笑:”这事七真观会去做吧?哪里需要我出马?” “The Seventh truth platform would do so, no?

Why is there a need for me to take actions?” Lu Mingshu laughed.

“不管起因为何,我们与七真观现下坐的是一条船.”刘极真道,”为师不瞒你,咱们闭山这段时间,外界的消息多亏了他们,投挑报李总是要的.” “No matter what, we are all on the same boat now.” Liu Jizhen said.

“And in fact, we are able to have such a peaceful life now all because of them.

We should do something to thank them.”   陆明舒点点头:”好,徒儿知道了.” “Okay, disciple understood.”   该她做的事,她也不会推托.

She would do what she should as soon as possible.

“尽快动身,早去早回.” “Hurry and return fast.”   “是.” “Yes.”   外面的草地上,元榕挥汗如雨.

Yuan Rong is practising outside, beads of sweat dripping down her forehead.

陆明舒给她的剑谱,看起来简单,练起来才知道有多难.这些动作想连贯起来,必须玄力通畅无碍,她原以为自己玄力操纵自如,练了这本剑谱才知道什么叫力不从心.

The book she got from Lu Mingshu looks simple, but only after practising she realised how difficult is it.

Initially, she thought that she could already control her mystic force well, but only now she understands the Chinese idiom, strength is not equivalent to the will means.

她倒挺坚持,一开始,一天根本完不成五百遍,现在已经能从头练到尾了.

But Yuan Rong has persevered.

She was unable to finishing five hundred times a day but now she could.

“元师妹.” “Junior sister Yuan.”   听到声音,元榕停了练剑,满头大汗地向她跑来:”陆师姐,是我哪里练错了吗?” Hearing Lu Mingshu, Yuan Rong immediately stopped in her tracks and came running towards her.

“Senior sister, did I do something wrong?”   陆明舒摇头,直言道:”我有事要离山一趟.” Lu Mingshu shook her head.

“I have to leave for a matter.”   “啊?”元榕茫然,”那我…” “Ah?” Yuan Rong stared at her blankly.

“So I….”   “你根基打得不错,玄力也逐渐圆融,不必再用这种笨办法练功了.” “You are okay now, and your mystic force is stronger now, so you can stop training in this manner.”   “是,是吗?”突然得了她的夸奖,元榕受宠若惊.

“Is, is that so?” Yuan Rong was overwhelmed.

陆明舒点头表示肯定:”所以,你要不要跟我一起离山?” Lu Mingshu nodded in confirmation.

“So, do you want to travel with me?”   “我?也能离山?”元榕惊喜不已.她从小跟在元昔太上长老身边,还从来没离开过九瑶山呢!

“Me?

I can get to go out to?” Yuan Rong shrieked in happiness.

She has always been with Grand Elder Yuan Xi since young, and she has never left the Nine Jade mountain ever!

“嗯,随我出去见识见识,看看别家的剑法.” “Yeah, come with me to take a look at how the other elites are.”   元榕欢喜得不知道该说什么才好,鸡啄米似地点头:”嗯嗯,师妹知道,好的好的,都听师姐的…” Yuan Rong is so glad that she’s at a loss of words.

All she could do is to nod constantly and blabber.

“Yeah, junior sister is aware.

Okay, I’ll listen to whatever Senior sister said…”  惠娘知道她要离山,忙忙碌碌地准备行李,什么都想给她带上.最后还是秀姑姑干脆,说道:”带什么都不如带钱,你们多带些钱,缺什么就买.” Knowing that she’s leaving for a trip, Hui Niang starts to pack for her hurriedly.

She wanted to pack everything for her, but Aunt Xiu was more clear cut.

“Just bring money along.

Bring as much as you can and buy anything you need on the way.”   于是,两天后,二人带着鼓鼓的钱袋子出发了.

Thus the next day, both of them went out with a huge money pouch.

元榕坐在小呆的背上,激动得叫个不停:”师姐师姐,好高啊!” Yuan Rong sat on little Daze, shouting excitedly.

“Senior sister, it’s so high.”   “哎呀,师姐你看,那是不是春猎咱们去的地方?” “Senior sister, is this the place where we go for spring hunt?”   “咦,原来西川真的有这么大一条河,这条河通向哪?” “Eh, there’s such a huge river in Xichuan?

Where does it lead to?”   “师姐,我们要下去坐船吗?” “Senior sister?

Are we going to take the boat?”   聒噪得陆明舒都后悔带她出门了.这个元师妹,之前看起来斯斯文文的,居然这么啰嗦.

She’s so talkative that Lu Mingshu regretted taking her out for a moment.

This junior sister Yuan who looks quiet and gentle is actually so noisy.

数天后,两人进入东越.

After some days, both of them arrived at Dongyue.

元榕看得直赞叹:”都说西川山河壮美,东越就是秀气雅致了,这么多河,交织成网,真是有趣!咦,陆师姐,这么早,我们就下去吃饭?” Yuan Rong was flabbergasted at the scenery.

“They say that Xichuan is spectacular, while Dongyue is elegant.

There are so many streams!

Senior sister Lu, it’s still early so can we go to eat?”   陆明舒已经不必饮食,但元榕还只有内息境,不吃不行.

Lu Mingshu need not eat anymore, but Yuan Rong is still in the inner breath realm, thus she needs to eat.

小呆在镇外落下,她答道:”我们不是来吃饭的.”拍了拍小呆的头,”先去玩吧,等会儿叫你.” Little Daze stopped at a town.

Lu Mingshu ^helped Yuan Rong dismount and shook her head.^ “We are not here to eat.” She patted a little daze.

“Go ahead and have fun, I’ll call for you later.”   小呆嘶鸣一声,振翅飞走了.

Little Daze neighed and flew away.

元榕跟着她进入这座小镇:”师姐…” “Senior sister…” Yuan Rong followed Lu Mingshu closely.

陆明舒不语,一路沉默着前行.

Lu Mingshu remained silent and went forward.

这是东越一座很平常的小镇,看不出有什么特别.人口也不多,只有几条街还算热闹.到了一座宅子前,她停下来,怔怔地出神.

Dong Yue is a small and ordinary town.

There’s a small population, and only a few streets are lively.

When she reached a house, she stopped and stared at it blankly.

“哎,姑娘你是哪位?怎么站我们家门口?” “Hey, miss, who are you?

Why are you standing in front of my house?”   有人出来,看到她盯着自家大门看,问了一句.

A woman came out to ask, upon seeing her staring at her house.

陆明舒勉强露出一个笑:”这位大妈,这家不是姓陆吗?” Lu Mingshu forced a smile.

“Aunty, is this the Lu family?”   这位大妈一听,笑道:”姑娘你是外地来的吧?这家不姓陆,姓李!”又好奇地看着她们,”你们是来寻亲的?” The aunty heard and laughed.

“Miss, you’re not from Dongyue, are you?

This family is not the Lu’s but Li.” She than stare at her weirdly.

“You’re here to look for your relatives?”   “嗯…我家长辈,有位旧友姓陆,据说就住在清风镇…” “Yeah….My elders have a close friend with the surname of Lu.

They are said to be living at the Qingfeng town….”   “那你可来晚了.”大妈很热情,”这家姓陆,是十多年前的事了,后来那家人死的死病的病,已经不在啦!” “You’re late!” the aunty said warmly.

“The Lu family was here ten years ago, after that some dead and some became ill.

They aren’t around anymore!”   “不在了…” “Is that so…..”   “对啊!听说后来病歪歪的去投亲了,也不知道有没有投到…” “Yeah!

Heard that they went to look for their relatives while they were sick.

It’s unknown if it’s successful or Nah…..”
