Chapter 877 Heron Section 第877章苍鹭部 convoy that thirty several people compose, is going forward on vast big Prairie alone. 【Writing first round network】 一支三十几人组成的车队,正在一望无际的大草原上孤零零的前进着。【文字首发网】 The vehicles are not many, only then 78, but surrounds in the person of leather nearby these ride a horse, actually all young, full of energy, several people even are only some 11 or 12-year-old young boys. 车辆不多,只有78辆而已,但是围拢在附近的那些骑马的皮装之人,却个个年纪轻轻,精神抖擞,有几人甚至只是些十一二岁的幼童。 Forefront convoy, is a clothing is gorgeous, is riding yellow' color' old man of steed. 在车队最前面,是一名服饰华美,骑着黄'色'骏马的老者。 His old man wears fire red fox fur hat, the forehead has the blade carves the wrinkle, the face chest cavity turns purple slightly, the waist is actually tying representative capacity three' color' brocade belt/bring. This is a symbol of head. 他此老者头戴着火红狐皮帽,额头有刀刻般的皱纹,脸膛微微发紫,腰间却束着一条代表身份的三'色'锦带。这正是一部之首的标志。 This place is the Tian Lan Prairie south. This is one Tuwu people team that goes to the temple to present tribute. 此地已经是天澜草原的南部了。这正是一只前往圣殿进贡的突兀人队伍。 „Tian Lan Prairie” is Tuwu people to the name of Mu Lan Prairie, because Tuwu people always believes in the hearsay „the Tian Lan beast”, and please treat as the patron god of this clan it, the generation cares, therefore Prairie has this. “天澜草原”是突兀人对慕兰草原的称呼,因为突兀人一向信奉传闻中的“天澜兽”,并请将其当作本族的守护神,世代加以奉养,所以草原才有此名的。 originally Tuwu people is occupying the Tian Lan Prairie southern half, but since thirty years ago battles in Prairie, after having defeated bitter enemy Moulan Tribe at one fell swoop, since then occupied entire big Prairie. The influence naturally suddenly flies to rise suddenly, on entire Prairie did not have the rival again. 原本突兀人只是占据着正天澜草原的南半部,但自从三十年前在草原中部交战中,一举击败了世仇慕兰人后,从此占据了整个大草原。势力自然突飞猛涨,整个草原上再无敌手了。 Naturally Tuwu Clan so huge, endless of internal tribe number. From counting the small tribe of Hundred Thousand person, the super tribe of approximate over a hundred million population, has proliferated above entire Prairie. Because the person of rendering meritorious service in the previous holy war is numerous, left many emerging independent tribes to come out. 当然突兀族如此庞大,内部部落数之不尽。小至数十万人的小部落,大致上亿人口的超级部落,遍布了整个草原之上。而因为在上次圣战中立功之人众多,也多出了不少新兴的独立部落出来。 These tribe some are not small, some are more not worthy of mentioning, population several tens of thousands people. 这些部落有的不小,有的却更加微不足道,人口数量才数万人而已。 old man is at „Heron Section”, is such one from the big tribe splits up, but miniature tribe. Although may also the name be a tribe, but in fact the entire tribe has 70,000-80,000 people. 老者所在的“苍鹭部”,就是这样一个从大部落分化而出的微型部落。虽然也可称是一个部落,但实际上整个部落才有七八万人而已。 When old man named Ying Lu, is young operational fierce extremely, and once a double hit in the holy war broke down several Moulan Tribe small tribes, and has captured alive many aristocrats, had the present status. But now actually cannot withstand devastation of years, in addition these years working with the heart labor forces, although the age 50-year-old appearance, the body actually presented the old shape. 老者则名叫英鹭,年轻时作战勇猛异常,并在圣战中曾经一连击垮了数个慕兰人小部落,并活捉了不少贵族,才有了如今的地位。但如今却经不起岁月的摧残,再加上这些年的劳心劳力,虽然年纪才50余岁的样子,身体却已呈现苍老之状。 Now at noon, old man looks at sky burning hot scorching sun, looked back to look at these young boys in back convoy again, long sighed. 现在正是中午时分,老者望了望天空炙热之极的骄阳,再回首看了看背后车队中的那些幼童,却长叹了一口气。 Properly speaking the tribe regardless of the size, must consecrate certain Immortal Master to be good. Otherwise, if has encountered the disaster **, encounters Demonic Beast, the ordinary mortal is unable to resist. 按理说部落无论大小,都必须供奉一定仙师在内才行。否则,万一碰到了天灾**,遭遇妖兽,普通凡人可是根本无法抵挡的。 But they such new small tribe, is unable to draw on any Immortal Master, is most low grade Immortal Master is not willing to enter the so small tribe. 但他们这样新生的小部落,根本无法招来任何一位仙师的,就是最低阶的仙师也不愿进驻如此小的部落。 After all to Immortal Master, the tribe that joins is bigger abundantly is better, can supply the sufficient resources for their cultivation. 毕竟对仙师来说,加入的部落越大越富足才好,才能为他们修炼供应充足的资源。 Some small tribes can also have some low grade Immortal Master, is actually these Immortal Master itself on the family background in these tribes, or itself aptitude cultivation aptitude is inferior, the big tribe is not willing to consecrate, therefore helpless stays behind. 有些小部落之还能拥有一些低阶仙师,却是这些仙师本身就出身于这些部落,或者本身资质修炼资质低劣,大部落也不愿供奉,故而才无奈留下的。 Heron Section that old man is, did not have the opportunity to train Immortal Master of this tribe, therefore these years have the matter, can only low grade Immortal Master act of large sum of money employment neighboring tribe help one another. But these Immortal Master ask a price similarly high, several act must spend entire tribe one year of less than half income, this made originally not abundant Heron Section have one misfortune after another. 老者所在的苍鹭部,是则还没有机会培养本部落的仙师,故而这些年有事,只能重金雇佣相邻部落的低阶仙师出手相助。但这些仙师同样要价极高,几次出手就要花费整个部落一年小半的收入,这让原本就不富足的苍鹭部更加雪上加霜了。 Is good because of the Twenty annual ring to time Opening Spirit Ceremony, finally must arrive. 好在二十年轮到一次的开灵日,终于就要到了。 Already to flying heron that this matter was careful, was naturally impossible to let off this matter. Immediately leads in the tribe to be examined to have the spiritual root several tribe juniors, toward leaving their tribe recent Tian Lan temple goes. 早就对此事上心的飞鹭,自然不可能放过此事。当即带领部落中被检验出有灵根的数名部落子弟,往离他们部落最近的一座天澜圣殿而去。 The Tian Lan temple originally, but after so many years of evolution that to consecrate Tian Lan Saint Beast constructs, actually became sacred place in Tuwu people heart, became has trained the Tuwu Clan low grade Immortal Master place specially. 天澜圣殿原先只是为供奉天澜圣兽所修建的,但经过如此多年的演变后,却成为了突兀人心中的圣地,成了专门培养突兀族低阶仙师的地方。 In each temple fights several high-grade Immortal Master, is responsible for teaching the say/way of some basic cultivation. After one becomes, aptitude low returns to each tribe directly, was consecrated by the tribe, has the training future was received by these high-grade Immortal cultivator is disciple, trains specially. 每座圣殿内斗有数名高阶仙师,负责传授一些基本的修炼之道。一有所成后,资质低些的直接返回各个部落,受部落供奉,有培养前途的则被那些高阶修仙者收为弟子,专门加以培养。 Has not passed through the mortal of spirit ceremony, refuses high-grade Immortal Master to teach Immortal Technique secretly. 没有经过开灵仪式的凡人,是严禁高阶仙师私自传授仙术的。 These temple quantities are not many, only then 60-70, but is found in various entire Prairie places evenly, but each is almost a center of big region is , the surroundings proliferate thousands of big or small tribes. 这些圣殿数量不多,只有六七十座,但均匀遍布整个草原各处,但每一座几乎都是一大片区域的中心所在,周围遍布数以千计的大小部落。 As the region only temple, a bigger tribe is naturally nearer to the temple, but Heron Section falls, because is too small, was assigned the extremely far place. Goes to the temple from the tribe, must walk three months of distance to be possible. 作为区域唯一圣殿,越大的部落离圣殿自然越近,而苍鹭部落因为太小,被分配极远的地方。从部落出发到圣殿去,足足要走三个月的路程才可。 But, four months ago, Ying Lu led from the tribe. 无奈之下,早在四个月前,英鹭就带队从部落出发了。 Said previous time Opening Spirit Ceremony, although he was independent the tribe, but is unable to sufficiently collect the high quality goods , can only missing helplessly. 说起来上一次的开灵日,他虽然已经将部落独立出来,但是无法凑够贡品,也只能眼睁睁的错过而已。 This time, Ying Lu said that anything was not willing to miss again. 这一次,英鹭说什么也不愿再错过了。 Even if the entire tribe must shrink the clothes reduced rations in the next several years, must have own Immortal Master by own tribe. 即使整个部落今后数年内要缩衣减食,也要让自己的部落拥有自己的仙师。 However brings the high quality goods to pass through so broad Prairie, to them is actually the extremely dangerous matter. 不过带着贡品要穿越如此广阔的草原,对他们这些人却是极其危险的事情。 After all the high quality goods are greatly have the thing of use to Immortal Master, almost treasures to the mortal precious. Some many intention illegal people take by force the small and weak team while this opportunity, even some Immortal Master of not having one's heart in right place have possibility act. During this was past years Opening Spirit Ceremony, common matter. 毕竟贡品都是对仙师大有用途的东西,几乎对凡人来说都是珍惜贵重之极的。有不少心怀不轨的人趁此机会打劫弱小队伍,甚至一些心术不正的仙师也有可能出手的。这可是历年开灵日期间,屡见不鲜的事情了。 Is better to temple near tribe, they dread the name of temple finally, does not dare to be dissolute. 离圣殿近些的部落还好一些,他们总算畏惧圣殿之名,不敢过于放肆的。 But distance remote the tribe like them, was the danger. 但像他们这样距离遥远的部落,可是危险之极了。 Hears the previous time, because the medium tribe of this region in the high quality goods has one nearly millennium spirit' medicine', finally after the wind sound/rumor disclosed that entire only team in going temple on the way, strangely vanished. A person's shadow is unable to find. 听说上一次,这片区域的一个中等部落因为贡品中有一支近千年的灵'药',结果风声走漏后,整只队伍在前去圣殿的途中,就诡异的消失了。一个人影也无法找到。 The result many person hearsay, said that is high-grade Immortal Master of some big tribe, is jealous of this valuable therefore act murder to seize the treasure. The person in temple is naturally angry this matter, heard that also sent out in the palace Immortal Master to trace, but does not know how to let it go. 结果不少人都传闻,说是某个大部落的高阶仙师,眼红此宝故而出手杀人夺宝的。圣殿的人自然气恼此事,听说也派出殿中仙师追查了一番,但不知怎么就不了了之了。 Therefore although this high quality goods have gotten ready, but does not have Immortal Master to bring up the rear, has let this Heron Section leader since embarking, starts to sleep on pins and needles. 所以这一次贡品虽然备齐了,但没有仙师压阵,让这位苍鹭部首领从出发以来,就开始寝食难安的。 But Opening Spirit Ceremony these days, each tribe Immortal Master similarly is busy with goes to the temple. Has spirit stones not to be willing to be hired. Occasionally several vagrant Immortal Master, had been first hired with the large sum of money by nearby several big tribes. 而开灵日的这段时间内,各个部落仙师都同样忙于随队前往圣殿。就是有灵石也没有愿意被雇佣的。偶尔有几位流浪的仙师,也被附近几个较大些的部落用重金抢先雇佣了去。 As the smallest and weakest tribe leader, Ying Lu also can only stare dry/does. 作为最弱小的部落首领,英鹭也只能干瞪眼而已。 Thinks of here, old man sighed, looked back to look at behind. 想到这里,老者叹了一口气,不禁回首望了一眼身后。 In the behind 78 car(riage)s, including four thinking of is the high quality goods, pulling a cart is in the tribe the steed of careful choice. These car(riage)s have the name of foresight to be made of the tribe firmest yellow birch wood. Naturally for is unremarkable, all vehicles surfaces look like tattered, obsolete. 在身后的78辆车中,其中有四辆装着的全都是贡品,拉车的全都是部落中精心挑选的骏马。这几辆车也有先见之名用部落最坚固的红桦木制成的。当然为了不引人注意,所有车辆表面看起来都破破烂烂,陈旧之极。 However also luckily has these measures, perhaps otherwise already had an accident. 不过也幸亏有这些措施,否则说不定早就出事了。 Is so, in previous time when meeting small flock of wild wolves, in the team also almost presents the personnel losses. 就是如此,在上次在遇见一小群野狼时,队伍中也差点出现减员。 But to run out of the pack of wolves, convoy has to discard slowest two, can arrive at this safely. 但为了冲出狼群,车队不得不丢弃掉最慢的两辆,才可以安然到此的。 Although on that two vehicles does not have what valuable thing, but has packed their group next two moon/month majority of food. It seems like they these, have to suspend at once on the road on. 那两辆车上虽然没有什么值钱的东西,但是装满了他们一行人今后两月的大部分食物。看来他们这几日,不得不在路上暂停一下了。 Remembers that crosses two day distance again, has a piece of canyon in the nearby. 记得再过两日的路程,就有一片峡谷在附近的。 Perhaps that inside rare person, some buffalo wild goats and so on, can hit some prey to come back first. 那里面罕有人至,说不定有些野牛野羊之类的,可以先打些猎物回来的。 Thinks of here, old man looks back on' touching' under on the saddle has been hanging the hardwood bow, on the face' reveal' sinks' recitation'' color'. 想到这里,老者回首来'摸'了下马鞍上挂着的硬木弓,脸上'露'出沉'吟'之'色'。 „Well! What is that?” By old man hears a clear female voice suddenly, the sound full is the surprised meaning. “咦！那是什么？”老者旁边忽然传来一声清脆的女声,声音满是惊奇之意。 This is one follows close on the old man behind delicate young girl, sound that makes. 这是一名紧跟在老者身后的清秀少女,发出的声音。 This female's name was brave Shan, age is 15-16 years old, were Ying Lu some younger generation, were in the tribe is examined to have in spiritual root several people one. Naturally deeply receives the Ying Lu love. 此女叫英珊,年纪十五六岁,是英鹭的某位晚辈,也是部落中被检验出来具有灵根的几人中一位。自然深收英鹭宠爱的。 old man hearing this one startled, lifts to look hurriedly. 老者闻言一惊,急忙抬首望去。 Finally in front not far away, in shrubbery of cover, really has intermittent green light glittering to be uncertain, has any thing faintly among appearance. But he remembers very clearly, looked back before a moment ago, that direction did not have this light. 结果就在前方不远处,一片茂密的灌木丛中,果然有阵阵的青光闪烁不定,隐隐有什么东西在其内的样子。而他记得很清楚,刚才回首之前,那个方向还没有此光的。 In old man heart one cold. 老者心中一凛。 When as a tribe leader, nature to Immortal Master Spiritual Light that emits, is not strange. 作为一名部落首领,自然对仙师施法时放出的灵光,并不算陌生的。 Some do Immortal Master want also to start really inadequately to they such poor and pedantic team? 难道真有仙师想对他们这么穷酸的队伍也要下手不成？ In the Ying Lu heart sinks, suddenly raises hand, the behind team stops immediately. Other people also saw green light in front shrubbery, on the face' reveal' several points startled and alert. 英鹭心中一沉,蓦然一举手,身后的队伍顿时噶然而止。其他人也都看到了前方灌木丛中的青光,脸上不禁'露'出几分惊慌和戒备。 old man makes calm restraining reins, stands is freezing, but in the brain various thought racing, rack one's brains the plan of self-preservation. 老者强作镇定的勒住缰绳,站在原地不动,但脑中各种念头急转,苦思自保之策。 But after the moment, old man had discovered does not suit. 但片刻后,老者就发现了不对劲。 green light in shrubbery flashes to keep freely, but does not have Immortal Master to come throughout, does not have no Immortal Technique to send out. 灌木丛中的青光尽管闪动不停,但始终没有仙师现身而出,也没有什么仙术发出。 In Ying Lu eye one bright, looks hurriedly to that shrubbery carefully, these bushes dense and numerous has one person to come the coca fully, is unable to see clearly anything. 英鹭眼中一亮,急忙向那灌木丛仔细望去,这些灌木密密麻麻的足有一人来高根,本无法看清楚什么。 „Tu Meng! You had a look in the past, which Immortal Master has really there.” After the old man vision flashes several next, suddenly opens the mouth to say. “土猛！你过去看看,是不是真有哪位仙师在那里。”老者目光闪动几下后,忽然间开口说道。 „Yes, Patriarch!” In convoy a sturdiness, youth hearing this of facial features overwhelming power is startled, but complied with one hurriedly, immediately dismounts, careful the shrubbery zhang (3.33 m) away to Twenty goes. “是,族长！”车队中一名身强力壮,面容威猛的青年闻言一怔,但急忙答应了一声,随即下马,小心的向二十余丈外的灌木丛而去。 In leaving the place of green light when 56 zhang (3.33 m) are far, after youth hesitates, the footsteps trigged the footsteps subconsciously. 在离青光之地只有56丈远时,青年一阵犹豫后,脚步下意识制住了脚步。 „Which Immortal Master doesn't know in this? I and others are Heron Section, comes the greetings Immortal Master real face especially.” The youth as if in some Heron Section also status, the words that said but actually also refined, on face simultaneously' reveal' respectful god' color'. “不知哪位仙师在此？我等是苍鹭部的,特来拜见仙师真颜。”青年似乎在苍鹭部也有些身份地位,说出的话倒也斯斯文文,脸上同时'露'出恭敬的神'色'。 But in the bush was still only the Spiritual Light circulation, any sound has not sent out. The youth see this, looked back to look at old man. 可是灌木中仍然只是灵光流转,并没有任何声音发出。青年见此,不禁回首望了一眼老者。 old man has thought under backward, silent nods to it, in the youth heart had several points of energy immediately silently, the footsteps walks toward the front. 老者想了下向后,还是默然的冲其点点头,青年心中顿时有了几分底气,脚步悄然无声的向前方走去。 When arrives at the shrubbery, youth has hesitated at once, clenches teeth, puts out a hand to separate the present bush. 等走到灌木丛前时,青年迟疑了一下,还是一咬牙,伸手分开了眼前的灌木。 【Writing first round network】 【文字首发网】
