这周莫名其妙-又有一个培训,好在离家不远,只需要稍微调整一下更新时间,早上不变,晚上在十点左右,恩,一共五天,月票若有加更,我会在周末补上。AsShi Xuanthisfinger/refersdelimits, sky over the Penglaiislandhas a distortionfierceblackcrackfiercely, the surroundingspurplethunder is only similar to the electricitysnaketo dance, in an instant, thisblackcrackchanged into the twinklepurplethunderlightfront door, sends outintermittentlyresoundingthunderous.
随着石轩这一指划出,蓬莱岛上空猛地出现一条扭曲狰狞的黑色裂缝,周围条条紫色雷光如同电蛇般起舞,转眼之间,这道黑色裂缝就化为了闪烁紫色雷光的大门,发出阵阵响亮雷鸣。.ThisgiantthunderclapmakesinPenglai Sectmanydiscipleshave a scare, looksupwardly, without the dark cloudfills the air, thunderous that underthunderGuangpi, wherecomes? Is it possible thathas the enemyto attack?!
这巨大雷声让蓬莱派内诸多弟子吓了一跳,不由向上望去,没有乌云弥漫,雷光劈下,何处来的雷鸣?莫非是有敌来袭?!Thisis on the rise, theycompletelybecomedumbfounded, becauseabove the dubhepeakhaspurpleterrifyingthundergate, in the thundergateisbroaddarkchaos, itas ifcontains a say/waylanguage that innumerablemysteriousmysterious, being hardwordstated.
这一抬头,他们全部变得目瞪口呆,因为天枢峰上方有一座紫色恐怖雷门,雷门里面乃是一片广阔的幽暗混沌,其似乎包含无数神秘玄奥、难以言述的道种文字。Thentheynoticed that an elementazuresleeveroberaises, gets bigger and bigger, in the sleeverobeappears the world that all sortsthunderlightsparkles, projectsfootpurplebrightthunderlightbythisworldabove, having the worldemptyshadowto investin the darkchaos.
接着他们看到一只素青袖袍扬起,越变越大,袖袍之内浮现一个诸色雷光闪耀的世界,由这世界之上射出尺长紫色明亮雷光,带着世界虚影投入了幽暗混沌之中。
The chaosshake, immediately the Yin-Yangdifferentiation, clearroseto fallmuddy, the Earth Firegeomancyerupted, fivelines of derivations.
混沌一震,当即阴阳分化,清升浊降,地火风水爆发,五行衍生。„Epoch-making, good fortunescene.”Floweredthousandfallingstandoutsidetheircave mansion, the mindis all drunkinducesthis, in the mouthis muttering.
“开天辟地,造化场景。”花千落站在自家洞府外,心神皆醉地感应着这一幕,口中喃喃自语。In the pastsheobtained the stonefounderto direct, wantsto sense the good fortuneaurainLesser Thousand World, for this reasonalsodeliberatelycontrolled the stepYin Spiritspeed, what a pityfell shorteventually, until the presentjust nowwitnessed that thisgood fortunewas mysterious, how couldnot to wallowexcitedly.
当年她得到石祖师指点,欲在小千世界里面感悟造化气息,为此还刻意控制进阶阴神的速度,可惜终究功亏一篑,直到如今方才目睹这造化玄奥,岂能不激动沉迷。Shealsocalculatessomeaccumulations, otherdisciples, including the Yin Spiritelder, are the wordscannot even say, completelyimmersesinto the good fortunescene, forgot the timeto pass, forgot the bustling placenoise, evenforgot itselfto exist.
她还算有些积累,其他弟子,包括阴神长老在内,更是连话都说不出来,完全沉浸入造化场景,忘了时光流逝,忘了红尘喧嚣,甚至忘了自身存在。
Only the Shi XuansideorbehindDaoist Masterbecause of the achievementOrigin Spirit, as well ashave seen the Shi Xuandemonstrationgood fortuneaura, canmaintain the state of mind, is realizing from experience the epoch-makingscenecarefully.
只有石轩身旁或身后的真人们因为成就了元神,以及见过石轩展示造化气息,能保持住心境,仔细体悟着开天辟地场景。„No wondercoldmirrordayMonarchdoes not makethis/Bendisciplesee the dwelling place of Buddhist immortalsto open, without the Taiji Drawingsituationinfalls intothiscondition, easilyloses the intelligencevery much, the shortcomingoutweighs the advantage.”Shi Xuanhasclearlyto become aware, the sleeverobewields.
“难怪寒镜天君不让本门弟子看到洞天开辟,没有太极图的情况下陷入这种状态,很容易就迷失神智,弊大于利。”石轩有所明悟,袖袍一挥。„Bang!”Resounds through the highest heaventhunderouseruptedinLesser Thousand World, makingalldisciplebodiesshake, hitsto shake the rope, from wallowingto sober, itas ifmade a soundintheirheartwas ordinary.
“轰!”一声响彻九霄的雷鸣在小千世界内爆发,让所有弟子身躯不由一震,打了个抖索,从沉迷中清醒过来,其仿佛响在了他们心头一般。Followsthisthunderoussound, brings the purplethunder of honoredauratogetherinfivelines of derivationstableLesser Thousand World, because the Yin-Yangcollides, producesstrangelybaseless, the innumerabledark cloudgatherings, drop of rainwaterfalls, in an instantbecame the torrential downpour, the seais born.
伴随这雷鸣声,一道带着尊贵气息的紫色雷霆在五行衍生稳定的小千世界内由于阴阳碰撞,诡异地凭空产生,无数乌云汇聚,一滴雨水落下,转眼就成了瓢泼大雨,海洋诞生。EveninPenglai Sectsurrounding areaseveral millionli (0.5 km), includingentireeastern sea, the place of somecentral lands, non-Chinese southern personandNorth Pole, heardthisterrifyingthunderclap, andevolvedpiece by piece the dark cloudbecause ofit, had the indistinctdrizzle, „meltedforthunderclap”.
甚至于在蓬莱派方圆几百万里,包括整个东海,部分中土、南蛮、北极的地方,都听到了这恐怖的雷声,并因其衍化出了片片乌云,下起了飘渺细雨,是为“雷声普化”。Inthisrange, allbigsect gateDaoist Mastersuddenlyonestartled, onlybroadcoldsectMeng NishangandcoldmirrordayMonarchbringhanger-onDaoist Masterto attend the ceremonyin the , thisisPenglai Sectis laying1 millionyears of inheritancefoundation.
这个范围内,所有大宗门的真人都陡然一惊,只广寒宗孟霓裳、寒镜天君带着门下真人早在附近观礼,这可是蓬莱派在立下百万年传承根基。Assortedthunderproduceone after another, inLesser Thousand Worldquickevolvesthunder clouds, the thunderlightoverflowspiece by piece, seems like the vicissitudes, butterrifying.
一道道的各色雷霆接二连三产生,小千世界内很快就衍化出一片片雷云,雷光四溢,看起来沧桑而恐怖。Lesser Thousand Worldenters the antiquethunderstormtime!小千世界进入太古雷暴时代!Othersect gateDaoist Masterfly, looksshockssurprisedly, Shi Xuankeptmakingorpreparingtoward the thunderstormsky, orpinches the systemat the scenevariousmaterials.
其他宗门真人一个个飞到,看得震撼惊讶不已,石轩则不停往雷暴天空打出或早就准备好、或当场捏制的各种材料。Somethunder cloudsfall, in the limitlessantiquesea, orevolves the bigpiecethunderwatersea area, quitesometimes the feeling of lightpassing, eitherturns into the thunderlightland, mountain, mountain streamandrivers......
部分雷云落下,在漫无边际的太古海洋上,或衍化出大片雷水海域,颇有时光流逝之感,或化成雷光陆地、高山、溪水、河流……
The dwelling place of Buddhist immortalsbarrierproduction, changesin light of the worldprinciple, underninedays of sealten thousandthunderXianzhen.
洞天屏障产生,结合天地法则改变,九天都篆万雷仙阵布下。Shi Xuanlifts the hand, the entirePenglaiislandflew into the dwelling place of Buddhist immortalstogether with a surrounding area100,000li (0.5 km)seatogether, is connectedwith the rusticity and worldprinciple, quickstabilizedin the smalltenworldhad/leftbroadclear sky with light clouds and dark bluewindlightboundary, appearedafterwithoutflyingdimlyreceiving a guestisland.石轩将手一抬,整个蓬莱岛连同方圆十万里海洋一起飞入了洞天之中,与地气、天地法则相连,很快就在小十世界里稳定出了一片广阔的天高云淡、海蓝风轻地界,朦朦胧胧浮现在没飞进去的迎客岛之后。From the outside world, itseems likeby the innumerablewhite cloudsis covered up, sevenpeak28mountainRuohaveto resemblenot to have.
从外界看去,其像是被无数白云所遮掩,七峰二十八山若有似无。Shi Xuanseesto be of great success, smilesto saytonearbypermitsZhenjun: „permitsDaoist immortal, but alsopleasetake a reputationforthisdwelling place of Buddhist immortals.”石轩见大功告成,对旁边的许真君微笑道:“许真君,还请为本门洞天取个名头。”permitsZhenjunshakes the headwith a smile: „Does the dwelling place of Buddhist immortals that youopen, is it possible thatalsowantOld Daoist to helpyouname?”
许真君笑着摇了摇头:“你开辟的洞天,莫非还要老道帮你取名?”„Conventionis the pioneernames.”RiverDaoist Masterin the bypath/side said, the smileplane of floatation, among the lookssomewhatis also excited, as the matter stands, even iflaterPenglai SectHeavenly Humandivides into periods, Origin Spiritto divide into periods, hadthisdwelling place of Buddhist immortals, unifiesimmortal, canresistTwo Tribulations Heavenly Monarch, ifthisordinaryHeavenly Humanor the exceedingly highspirit treasuretown/subduesbring up the rear the eye, eventhreetribulationscana short time unable to break the dwelling place of Buddhist immortalsbarriergreatly, the realityisstanding of long-timeinheritancesends the foundation.
“惯例都是开辟者取名的。”江真人也在旁道,笑容浮面,神色之间有些激动,这样一来,哪怕以后蓬莱派天人断代、元神断代,有了这洞天,结合仙阵,亦能对抗二劫天君了,若本门有一位普通天人或通天灵宝镇压阵眼,甚至三劫大能一时半会也打不破洞天屏障,实乃长久传承的立派根基。Shi Xuanseesbotheldersnot to decline, mustsay with a smile: „OurPenglai Sectinheritancefrom the godcloudssenior, might as wellcallstate of mindclouds.”石轩见两位长辈都推辞不受,只得笑道:“我们蓬莱派传承自神霄前辈,不如就叫上清神霄界。”permitsZhenjun, riverDaoist Master, Chu Wan'er, Xie Fangweiand otherDaoist Masterpantomimicasare strange, Shi Xuanreallynamesbad.
许真君、江真人、楚绾儿、谢方伟等真人全部表情古怪,石轩果然不善取名。Buttheythink,thoughtthisnamealso has the immortaltaste, moreoveris representingPenglai Sectbragginguntil now, from on clearYuDaoiststogodcloudspalaceagaintoPenglai Sectsuchinheritanceroute, thereforein abundancenod: „Good, calledstate of mindclouds.”
但他们想了想,觉得这名字也颇有仙味,而且代表着蓬莱派一直以来的自诩,从上清禹余道人到神霄宫再到蓬莱派这样的传承路线,于是纷纷点头:“好,就叫上清神霄界。”Shi Xuansomewhatis actually regrettable, ifbyimmortaltaste, oneself- likedwhatjade clearboundaryclearslightlyandslightlyhavingclearemptysuchname, what a pityandPenglai Secthad no relations.石轩倒是有些遗憾,若论仙味,自家更-喜欢什么玉清境清微界、小有清虚界这样的名字,可惜都和蓬莱派没什么关系。
„ Congratulates the stoneDaoist immortalto openstate of mindclouds, congratulated the stoneDaoist immortalto crossHeavenly Humanthirdto fade!
“恭喜石真君开辟上清神霄界,恭喜石真君渡过天人第三衰!OtherZhu-schoolDaoist Masterto congratulatesay/way, the mood is very with one voice complex.
其他诸派真人齐声贺道,情绪很是复杂。Especiallytakes the nether worldto teach the Yamaemperor, opens a helldwelling place of Buddhist immortals, andwieldswegreat worldsamsarabythis, has been the nether worldteachesto standsends20,000for many yearslong-cherished wishes, what a pityhas not seenanyhope, not onlydoes not havesixsamsaraatractylodes chinenses, but alsocrossedthirdHeavenly Tribulationalreadynearly in 4000, but alsonotouchestoGreat Daodivine marrow, delays in 2000at mostagain, fourthHeavenly Tribulationwill lower, does not know that cango a step furtherbefore then.
尤其以幽冥教阎罗天子为最,开辟一个地狱洞天,并以此执掌本方大世界轮回,乃幽冥教立派两万多年来的夙愿,可惜尚未看到任何希望,不仅没有六道轮回仙术,而且自己渡过第三次天劫已经近四千年,还没触摸到一丝大道神髓,顶多再拖延两千年,第四次天劫就会降下,不知道能不能在此之前更进一步。But the sect gatelater generation, the deepsovereignhas fallen from the skyunderthirdHeavenly Tribulation, newachievementOrigin Spiritseveral, crossedthirdHeavenly Tribulation, butis not unusuallikePenglai SectShi Xuan, has not touchedGreat Daodivine marrow.
而宗门后辈,冥皇已经陨落在第三次天劫下,新成就元神的则有好几位,渡过了第三次天劫的也有一位,但都不像蓬莱派石轩般超凡卓绝,尚未触摸到大道神髓。
The YingzhouFactionturns over to the Yuanchildto sighgently, oneselfcrossedthirdHeavenly Tribulationalsonearly in 2000, with the cardthisrealmotherbigsect gateDaoist Master, stilldid not have the slightclue, was goodare manybecause of the time, is goodhad/leftnightrealchildrare talentbecause ofthisgate, nowcrossedthirdHeavenly Tribulationunexpectedlynot making a sound, some day, not necessarilycannotachievementHeavenly Human.
瀛洲派归元子轻轻叹了口气,自己渡过第三次天劫也有近两千年了,与卡在这一境界的其他大宗门真人一样,尚无丝毫头绪,好在时光还多,好在本门出了宵真子这一奇才,如今竟然不声不响渡过了第三次天劫,有朝一日,未必不能成就天人。Luofusenttheseyear of unlucky years, GeHuangting, greatlycomfortableflyingswordto fall from the skyunderHeavenly Tribulation, QiaoMubaicrossedthirdHeavenly Tribulationluckily, haunched the gateway that Luofusentwithstretch/leisurelyXiaotiantogether, buttheirdistancehad confidence that crossedfourthHeavenly Tribulationto be far, itlooks at the Penglai Sectdwelling place of Buddhist immortals, in the hearttouchesfor a while, whenmust, the LuofuFactionbe have Three Tribulations Heavenly Monarch, openedowndwelling place of Buddhist immortals.
罗浮派这些年流年不利,葛黄庭、大自在飞剑都是陨落在了天劫之下,幸好乔慕白渡过了第三次天劫,与舒笑天一起撑起了罗浮派的门户,但他们都距离有把握渡过第四次天劫还远,其看着蓬莱派洞天,心中一时触动不已,要什么时候,罗浮派才能出一位三劫天君,开辟属于自家的洞天。God of medicinesectXu YucrossedthirdHeavenly Tribulation is not long, but is actually sect gatehighestcultivation base, becauseall various grassy plantsDaoist Masterwoodenhonoredfell from the skyunderHeavenly Tribulation, butnewsevenOrigin SpiritDaoist Master, majoritywas a tribulationandordinary, twotribulationshadtwo, sheopened the Penglai Sectdwelling place of Buddhist immortalsregardingShi Xuan, variousmoodallhadlittle, butprecipitatedfinally, shouted a itlightly: „Mustaim too highnot, forgetsto look down the road of under foot.”
药王宗徐钰渡过第三次天劫未久,但却是宗门最高修为者,因为百草真人木维钧陨落在了天劫下,而新出的七位元神真人,大部分还是一劫和普通,二劫的只得两位,她对于石轩开辟蓬莱派洞天,各种情绪皆有少许,但最后都沉淀了下来,淡淡呼了一口其:“莫要好高骛远,忘了低头看脚下之路。”QinSheng the corners of the mouthlook atonewith a smile, both handsgather togetherat present, a courage vigorlikewater, doublepupilactuallyice-coldbrutal, from time to timehad the faint tracefierceterrifyingblackair/Qito reappear, in the heartis thinkingeasely: „Waits forplacescultivatedfifth-order the Taishidaydemonair/Qi, touchedwickedGreat Daodivine marrowhopefully, butdepended upon more stepimmortal techniqueto touchGreat Dao, had the foundation not steadyfeelingeventually, thismountain passcannotworry, needs the solid foundationslowly, otherwise " TaishiDayDemonBook » successorhas not diedonachievementOrigin Spirit, actuallyfell from the skyinfourthHeavenly Tribulation, will be laughed for ten thousandyears.”
秦升嘴角含笑地看着眼前一幕,双手拢起,一身血气如水,双眸却冰冷无情,不时有丝丝狰狞恐怖黑气浮现,心中悠然想着:“等本座将太始天魔气修炼到五阶,就有希望触摸到恶之大道神髓了,不过依靠越阶仙术触摸大道,终究有根基不稳之感,这一关隘不能着急,需得慢慢扎实基础,否则《太始天魔册》传人没有死在成就元神上,却陨落在了第四次天劫,会被嗤笑万年的。”Buthisbloodriveroldancestorbeforehandmodeling, baldold, the smileis light.
而他身边的血河老祖还是以前的造型,光头苍老,笑容平淡。Dayfire doortheseyearshave set the baseinseveralbigsect gate, the feelingis the disconsolatedifficultword.
天火门这些年一直在几大宗门里垫底,感觉更是惆怅难言。Shi Xuanturns toward the surroundingsto return salutesubmissively: „Apologized toZhu-schoolfellow daoistto cometo attend the ceremony, ifthere is a free time, canbe a guesttothisgate.”石轩拱手向着周围还礼:“谢过诸派道友前来观礼,若有空闲,可以到本门做客。”„Iand otherspleasedo not come, reallydoes not havefacethank your for your hospitality, said goodbye.”Severalschools of Daoist Masterunderthismood, whichalsowantto keeponPenglai Sectstate of mindclouds, said goodbye.
“我等不请而来,实在没脸叨扰,就此告辞。”几派真人在这种情绪之下,哪还想留在蓬莱派上清神霄界,纷纷告辞。Shi Xuandoes not detain, whentheyleave, and otherssaid with a smiletopermitsZhenjun, Meng Nishang: „Theseseveral thousandyears, Sorrowless Heavenbenefitsfrom the environmentandatmospherechanges, the Origin SpiritDaoist Masterquantityincreasesgradually, in 2,000-3,000years, so manythreetribulationunder the Daoist Masterimpact, shouldbe have 2-3Heaven ImmortalDaoist immortals.”石轩也不挽留,等他们离开,才对许真君、孟霓裳等笑道:“这几千年,禹余天得益于环境、氛围改变,元神真人数量渐渐增多,再过2,000-3,000年,这么多三劫真人冲击下,应该会出2-3位天仙真君了。”„Somethree of muchnot being able to touchGreat Daodivine marrowtribulationDaoist Master, feared that isbeforefourthHeavenly Tribulationwill arriveloosemeritreincarnation.”Meng Nishanglightreply.
“有不少触摸不到大道神髓的三劫真人,怕是会在第四次天劫降临前散功转世。”孟霓裳淡淡回答。Listened tothissaying, the riverDaoist Mastervisionto glitterslightly.
听了这话,江真人目光微微闪烁。Packed offMeng Nishangwait/etc., Shi Xuanteasedone: „Pitifullysat in meditation and become unaware of this world the fruit in 1600to be matureinstantly, otherwisecanhold the Buddhist meetingactually, tocelebrate the dwelling place of Buddhist immortalsto open, otherwisein the pastshouldpostponeto teach«GodCloudsHoleReallyObtaining enlightenmentTreasurePassing through», when the dwelling place of Buddhist immortalsopened, lowered the air/Qi of merit, how could it not be beautiful?”
送走了孟霓裳等,石轩戏谑了一句:“可惜刹那坐忘果还有一千六百年才成熟,否则倒是能召开法会,以贺洞天开辟,要不然当年该推迟传授《神霄洞真得道宝经》,在洞天开辟时,降下功德之气,岂不美哉?”Comes backfrom the broadcoldsect, Shi Xuan«GodCloudsHoleReallyObtaining enlightenmentTreasureafter»will hand down, andopenlyspoketo sayonetime,did not involve the concretecultivationmethod, onlysaid the Great Daotrue meaningbesidesdivine creative force, at that time, the air/Qi of yellow and blackmeritwasfloatedfalls, was very magnificent, Shi Xuanevensuspected when Lord of Naturehelped the jademother-in-lawpushedto spread outimprovescultivation techniqueandtoher, feared that had the merit of universeprogressionto lower.
从广寒宗回来,石轩就将《神霄洞真得道宝经》传下,并公开讲了一次道,不涉及具体修炼方法,只讲其中除了造物以外的大道真意,当时,玄黄功德之气是飘飘洒洒落下,好不壮观,石轩甚至怀疑,造化之主帮玉婆婆推衍完善功法并给她时,怕是有宇宙级数的功德降下。„Stoneboyyouris it seems like happy, in the founderpalacethis/shouldare manyyou, as soon asrevered the statue.”permitsZhenjunsaid with a smile, all previous generationsallhad the founder, butonlyrecordedin the sect gateancient book, canset up the statuein the founderpalace, at presentare abouttwo;first, to opensent the Songfounder;second, a family statusHeaven ImmortalpermitsDaoist immortal, mustadd onnowissect gateopensstandssendsShi Xuan of dwelling place of Buddhist immortals!
“石小子你心情看来不错,祖师殿内该多你一尊雕像了。”许真君笑道,历代皆有祖师,但都只记录于宗门典籍,能在祖师殿内立雕像的,目前不过两位,一是开派宋祖师,二是本门第一位天仙许真君,现在要加上为宗门开辟立派洞天的石轩了!ThenpermitsDaoist immortalcomplexiononepositive, „Old Daoist observed the dwelling place of Buddhist immortalsto opena moment ago, the hearthas the sensibility, preparedto inspirefourthHeavenly Tribulation.”
然后许真君脸色一正,“老道刚才观洞天开辟,心有感悟,准备引动第四次天劫了。”Shi Xuannods: „The disciplewishespermitsDaoist immortalyouragainachievementHeavenly Human.”石轩点点头:“那弟子预祝许真君您重新成就天人。”Whentoo a nightthunderwas routedbypermitsDaoist immortalsmoothly, Shi Xuanshows a faint smile, oneselfshouldgo outtravels, before making upHeavenly Humanthirdfades, whets the insufficienthidden danger.
当太宵化道雷被许真君顺利击溃之时,石轩微微一笑,自己又该出门游历,弥补天人第三衰前磨砺不足的隐患了。
The immortal techniqueneeds in 2400fromsevenstepstoeightsteps, needs in 3600fromeightstepstoninesteps, so manytime, the immortal techniquehas not likely cultivated, the fadingtribulationhas hung, thereforeShi Xuan can only whets, whilecultivates, preparesin any casesufficiently, does not fear a war.
仙术从七阶到八阶要二千四百年,从八阶到九阶需要三千六百年,这么多时间,很可能仙术尚未修炼上去,衰劫就已经高悬,所以石轩只能一边磨砺,一边修炼,反正准备充足,不惧一战。„The two kindsthing that the Heavenly Humanfourthfadingsecret techniqueneeds, said that fading of heartcrosses the aura that the tribulationrare treasureneeds, mustcopeto slaughtersaid,wants the layoutgodsovereign, mustcarveto whet itself, mustquenching a heartat times, must re-enter the bustling place...... such a to think,matter is really many.”
“天人第四衰秘术需要的两样事物,道心之衰渡劫秘宝需要的气息,要对付杀戮道,要布局神皇,要刻刻磨砺自身,要时时淬炼道心,或许要重入红尘……这么一想,事情真是不少。”Shi Xuansets outeasely, the bodyrayflashed, vanishesin the dwelling place of Buddhist immortals.石轩悠然起身,身上光芒一闪,消失在了洞天之内。\{Floatingastronomywww.piaotian.comthanked the support of fellowbookfriends, yoursupportwaswebiggestpower}
