In cold Xuemei completely, on spring breeze willow tree turns over. 寒雪梅中尽,春风柳上归。 Unknowingly, in the winter crossed, spring arrives. 不知不觉,冬天已过,春天到来。 The freeze mountain stream, makes a fresh start murmur flowing. icicle under bamboo house eaves, tree hangs, is dropping the clear water in the sunlight. 冻结的山溪,重新开始潺潺的流动。竹楼屋檐下的冰锥,树挂,都在阳光中滴着晶莹的水。 In the morning, in the wineshop is somewhat lonely, not many alcoholics. 早晨,酒肆中有些冷清,并没有多少酒客。 Fang Yuan sits in inside, approaches in the position of window. On his request, around the position is setting upright with the plank screen, has made compartmented. 方源坐在里面,靠近窗户的位置上。应他的要求,位置周围用木板屏风竖着,做成了一个隔间。 has blown into of breeze from the window comes, to clamp to bind a fresh and fragrant soil aura, making the person hear completely relaxed. 一阵微风从窗户外吹进来,夹裹着一阵清新而又芳香的泥土气息,让人闻之心旷神怡。 Jiang Ya sits in the Fang Yuan's opposite, is piling smiling of whole face. 江牙就坐在方源的对面,堆着满脸的笑。 „This is this time primeval stones, please search and collect.” The full four purses that he will install, place on the table, pushes to Fang Yuan. “这是这次的元石,请您查收。”他将装的满满的四个钱袋,放在桌上,推给方源。 In the purse, installs naturally is primeval stones. 钱袋子里,装的自然都是元石。 Fang Yuan does not have opening of one by one, but placed in the hand the weighing. 方源没有一一的打开来看,而是放在手中称量了一下。 His previous life has made more than 100 years of business, many primeval stones place in the hand to think over, in the heart has several. Little together primeval stones, he can realize immediately. 他前世做过近100多年的买卖,多少块元石放在手中掂量掂量,心中就有数了。少一块元石,他都能立即察觉到。 This skill does not have anything. 这本事也没有什么。 On Earth, there are to sell oil old man, suspends a copper coin toward the bottle mouth place, he drops the oil to go , the oil becomes, by the copper coin middle eyelet, does not splash a drop. Also some marksmen, shoot the leaf outside hundred steps, every shot hits the target. Has done many years of senior butcher, weighs the meat with the hand, knows several jin (0.5 kg) several two, with a scale weighing, exactly right. 地球上,有卖油翁,往瓶口处摆个铜钱,他滴油进去,油成一线,透过铜钱中间的小孔,丝毫不溅出一滴来。又有神射手,于百步外射树叶,百发百中。干了多年的老屠夫,用手称称肉,就知道几斤几两,用秤一称量,分毫不差。 The grade of skill that practices? 怎么练成的这等本事？ Does not have him, practice makes perfect that's all! 无他,熟能生巧罢了！ Sometimes the accumulation of experience, can build a miracle. 经验的积累,有时候就能堆砌起一场奇迹。 After the rebirth, this seedling source naturally also brought from the feel of experience. Fang Yuan weighs with the hand separately, discovers not to have the issue, then takes out a small cloth sack from the bosom, gives Jiang Ya it. 重生之后,这种源自经验的手感自然也带了过来。方源用手分别称了称,发现没有问题,便从怀中取出一个小布袋,将其递给江牙。 Jiang Ya both hands meet hastily, turns on the bag mouth, careful inventory. 江牙连忙双手接过去,打开袋口,仔细清点。 Although Fang Yuan has Nine Leaf Vitality Grass in the hand, but he does not trade directly. If Ancient Moon's Dong Tu, looks forward to do this , helping binding the social relations, increases his influence. 方源虽然有九叶生机草在手,但他并不直接贩卖。要是古月冻土,巴不得这样做,有利于维系社会关系,增加他的影响力。 However Fang Yuan is actually not willing to do. By doing so, too wasted time and energy. Therefore he sold to Jiang Ya Vitality Leaf, Jiang Ya as the shop owner of store, trades these Rank 1(turn) treatment grass gus outward. 但是方源却不愿意这么干。这样做,实在太浪费时间和精力了。所以他将生机叶都卖给江牙,江牙作为商铺的店主,去对外贩卖这些一转治疗草蛊。 Jiang Ya is the Jiang He younger brother, Fang Yuan, when seeks for Wine Insect, has met with him. His Elder Brother Jiang He, is the Fang Yuan's half ally. Therefore makes him be the agent, acts to trade, is quite secure and reliable. 江牙是江鹤的弟弟,方源在寻找酒虫的时候,就和他见过面。他的哥哥江鹤,更是方源的半个盟友。因此让他做代理,出面贩卖,是比较安全可靠的。 „One, two and three...... Nine. Indeed is nine pieces of Vitality Leaf right.” Jiang Ya has counted three, this closes the bag mouth, receives carefully personal the bag. “一、二、三……九。的确是九片生机叶不错。”江牙数了三遍,这才闭上袋口,将袋子小心地贴身收起来。 Then he holds up wine cup, said to the Fang Yuan respect: „Sir Fang Yuan, the cooperation is happy, I respect your one cup!” 然后他举起酒杯,向方源敬道:“方源大人,合作愉快,我敬你一杯！” He looks to the Fang Yuan's vision, is hiding thick envying, even changed into an envy. 他看向方源的目光中,隐藏着浓厚的羡慕,甚至化为了一丝嫉妒。 One year ago , is spring, his first time sees Fang Yuan, at that time Fang Yuan was also only the student in school, did not have the qualifications wear including Gu Master's martial artist's clothes. 就在一年之前,也是春天,他第一次见到方源,那时方源还只是学堂的一介学员,连蛊师的武服都没有资格穿着。 However now, Fang Yuan not only martial artist's clothes, simultaneously the waist is the red waistband, the waistband middle is inlaying square shape iron sheet-- is being Rank 2 Gu Master! 但是如今,方源不仅一身武服,同时腰间已经系着赤色腰带,腰带中间镶着方形铁片——已经是二转蛊师了！ But he now actually was still only Rank 1(turn), wears the azure waistband. 而他现在却仍旧只是一转,戴着青色腰带。 These it is worth mentioning, those who make his Jiang Ya be jealous, after Fang Yuan has resulted in the inheritance, leapt from the pauper has become a wealthy man. 这些倒也罢了,更让他江牙眼红的是,方源得了遗产之后,一跃从穷小子成了一名富翁。 The wineshop and bamboo house that he grasps have Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, is his Jiang Ya for a lifetime fights, the wealth of also possibly not being able to fight for! 他掌握的酒肆、竹楼还有九叶生机草,都是他江牙一辈子打拼,也可能打拼不到的财富！ However, Jiang Ya actually does not dare to express the mood of this envy. 不过,江牙却不敢将这嫉妒的情绪表现出来。 Fang Yuan sells Vitality Leaf to him, but he earns price difference. Fang Yuan has become his gold/metal lord, Jiang Ya does not dare to offend the present younger generation now. 方源将生机叶售卖给他,而他赚取其中的差价。方源已经成了他的金主,江牙如今可不敢得罪眼前的这个晚辈。 „Oh, the person...... Jiang Ya lifts the cup compared with the Mortal Qi deceased person”, on the face is piling smiling, in the heart deeply is sighing. “唉,人比人气死人啊……”江牙举着杯子,脸上堆着笑,心中却是深深地叹息着。 Fang Yuan also holds up the cup, then tosses down. 方源也举起杯子,然后一饮而尽。 Although the Jiang Ya facial expression is vague, but he becomes a ghost old, how possibly to look? 江牙的神情虽然隐晦,但是他年老成精,怎么可能看不出来？ Fang Yuan has not cared, if Jiang Ya does not envy, explained that he cherishes broadly, can make Fang Yuan look at one on the contrary high. 方源并没有放在心上,江牙若不嫉妒,说明他心怀远大,反倒是能让方源高看一眼。 However he stares at Fang Yuan's this spell of good or bad fortune to be jealous, solely this pattern appeared small, was not worth mentioning. Drinks the cup liquor with him, but he currently has some use value that's all. 不过他盯着方源的这份际遇而眼红,单单这份格局就显得小了,不足挂齿。和他喝杯酒,只是他目前有些许的利用价值罢了。 Jiang Ya puts down wine cup, excitedly said: „Vitality Leaf in family, each piece must sell 55 primeval stones. After listening to your instruction, our grass gus, only sell 50 primeval stones, really falls short of demand! Sir, was inferior that you expedite some Vitality Leaf every day, Thus, we can earn!” 江牙放下酒杯,兴奋地道:“家族中的生机叶,每一片要卖55块元石。听了您的吩咐后,我们的草蛊,只卖50块元石,果然是供不应求！大人,不如你每天都催生一些生机叶,这样一来,我们就能赚得更多了！” Fang Yuan listened to shake the head slowly, absolute refusal: „It is not good, expedites nine pieces of Vitality Leaf, is the limit, has wasted my many cultivation time.” 方源听了缓缓摇头,断然拒绝:“不行,催生出九片生机叶,已经是极限了,浪费了我许多修行的时间。” This was Fang Yuan and difference of Jiang Ya this grade of worldling. 这就是方源和江牙这等俗人的区别了。 It looks like in Fang Yuan, primeval stones is the cultivation resources, is the item. All serve for cultivation. But Jiang Ya has regarded the goal of life chase primeval stones, reason that cultivation to earn many primeval stones. 在方源看来,元石不过是修行的资源,是道具。一切都是为修行服务的。而江牙则将元石当成了人生追逐的目标,之所以修行就是为了赚取更多的元石。 However even if Fang Yuan only expedites childbirth nine pieces of Vitality Leaf every day, every day earns 400 many primeval stones, after these days accumulation, the wealth in his hand also rose a considerable degree. 不过即便方源每天只催产九片生机叶,每天赚取400多的元石,经过这些天的积累,他手中的财富也上涨到了一种可观的程度。 Sees the Fang Yuan rejection, Jiang Ya does not dare to urge, has to smack the lips pitifully, pours out wine to Fang Yuan attentively, then gives itself on but actually. 见方源拒绝,江牙也不敢强劝,只好可惜地咂咂嘴,殷勤地给方源斟酒,然后再给自己倒上。 „Also is.” He says with emotion, „Sir you have such wealth, why every day works with the heart tired. It seems to me, did the Sir you why still live in that worn-out rent? Might as well soar a bamboo house, oneself lived. Remarries a pretty wife, gathers a 7~8 house slave to serve. This day passed was content, tut tut.” “也是。”他感慨道,“大人您坐拥如此财富,何必每天劳心劳累。照我看呀,大人您又何必仍旧住那破旧的租房呢？不如把一座竹楼腾空,自己住了。再娶一个貌美的媳妇,招揽七八个家奴伺候着。这日子过得就美满了,啧啧。” Fang Yuan chuckle, has not said a word. 方源轻笑一声,没有言语。 Bramble finch who knows soaring ambition! 燕雀安知鸿鹄之志！ He has turned the head, looks to out of the window. 他转过头,看向窗外。 Bamboo houses, go against the remnant snow, bathes under the beautiful spring scenery. The distant place has a willow tree, is stretching the branch of olivine tender leaf, slightly sways in spring breeze gently. 一栋栋竹楼,顶出残雪,沐浴在明媚的春光下。远处有一株柳树,舒展着黄绿嫩叶的枝条,在微微的春风中轻柔地拂动。 Fang Yuan vision somewhat absent-minded, he is thinking the present situation. 方源目光有些失神,他想着自己如今的处境。 After having solved the Fang Zheng's problem, family property can say that has preserved. 解决了方正的问题后,家产可以说已经保住了。 White Jade Gu and Moonglow Gu Fusion Refining has succeeded, can say that the offense and defense had both. Then is Fusion Refining Wine Insect. 白玉蛊、月芒蛊都已经合炼成功,可以说已经攻守兼备。接下来就是合炼酒虫。 However Wine Insect this matter is quite troublesome, leaves Four Taste Wine Insect for Fusion Refining, he must have second Wine Insect, as well as sour, sweet, bitter and spicy four types of good wines. These things, the greater part he does not have the clue. 但是酒虫这事情比较麻烦,为了合炼出四味酒虫,他必须要有第二只酒虫,以及酸甜苦辣四种美酒。这些东西,大部分他都没有头绪呢。 „Wine Insect needs Fusion Refining, without Wine Insect, my progress will reduce speed one time to continue. However wants Fusion Refining Four Taste Wine Insect, at least must wait till the arrival of caravan. The opportunity of rely on caravan, I can also expose White Jade Gu. Thus, my battle efficiency can show, was unnecessary is timid to act.” “酒虫是必须要合炼的,没有酒虫,我的进度就会减慢一倍不止。但是要合炼四味酒虫,至少得等到商队的到来。借助商队的机会,我也可以暴露出白玉蛊。这样一来,我的战斗力就能展现出来,不必要缩手缩脚了。” Fang Yuan currently has Moonglow Gu and White Jade Gu in the hand, matches on he 500 years of fight experiences again, has dominated in the greater part Rank 2 Gu Master. 方源现在有月芒蛊、白玉蛊在手,再搭配上他500年的战斗经验,已经凌驾于大部分的二转蛊师。 Sickness snake Jue San this were smaller the fame team leader, if independent combat with him, is not the Fang Yuan's match. 病蛇角三这等小些名气的组长,若是和他单打独斗,也并非方源的对手。 However regarding Chi Shan, Mo Yan and Qing Shu first-class, Fang Yuan is weak. 但是对于赤山、漠颜、青书一流,方源还是弱的。 firstly is cultivation base is insufficient, Fang Yuan only has Rank 2 initial stage. But they are actually upper stage even peak. secondly is Gu insect of powerful are not enough. Fang Yuan serves as the fight Gu insect, only then two, but Chi Shan, Mo Yan and Qing Shu first-class, at least three, meanwhile have trump card of snow conceals. 一来是修为不足,方源只有二转初阶。而他们却都是高阶甚至巅峰。二来是强力的蛊虫不够多。方源用作战斗的蛊虫,只有两只,而赤山、漠颜、青书一流,至少都有三只,同时还有雪藏的底牌。 But in the contemporaries, Fang Zheng, Mo Bei and Chi Cheng did not have accidentally to start to show the talent. 而同龄人中,方正、漠北、赤城都毫无意外地开始展露头角了。 Especially Fang Zheng, after having the Rank 2 Gu Insect moon/month secondary rainbow clothes, had the strength that and Fang Yuan fought. And along with passing of time, his cultivation base will be getting higher and higher, gradually flings far Fang Yuan. 尤其是方正,拥有了二转蛊虫月霓裳之后,已经有了和方源一战的实力。并且随着时间的流逝,他的修为会越来越高,渐渐地将方源甩远。 Only if Fang Yuan as soon as possible Fusion Refining becomes Four Taste Wine Insect, can in the cultivation speed with Fang Zheng. 除非方源尽快地合炼成四味酒虫,才能在修行的速度上跟得住方正。 As for higher one layer, these Rank 3 and Rank 4 Gu Master. 至于更高一层,那些三转、四转的蛊师。 Regarding Fang Yuan, does not raise fight to a draw, even if saves the life is also a difficult matter, not to mention any exceeding level challenged. 对于方源来讲,不提战平,就算是保住性命也是一件难事,更别提什么越级挑战了。 The exceeding level challenge is very difficult to achieve, Fang Yuan does not have trump card, two do not have natural talent, even if there is rich fight experience, but can not make bricks without straw, does not have Gu insect of powerful, these experiences cannot manifest any superiority. 越级挑战是很难做到的,方源一没底牌,二没资质,就算是有丰富的战斗经验,但巧妇难为无米之炊,没有强力的蛊虫,这些经验根本体现不出什么优势来。 „If Four Taste Wine Insect can Fusion Refining come out, the cultivation speed was quite satisfactory. However also needs to supplement some Gu insect, defends to have White Jade Gu, the attack has Moonglow Gu, the treatment has Nine Leaf Vitality Grass. Also lacks detection-type as well as mobility class Gu insect, although this two type of Gu insect is only support, if has, complements my weak point, can make my battle efficiency at least rise three times!” Fang Yuan is considering. “如果四味酒虫能合练出来,修行的速度就比较满意了。但是还需要补充一些蛊虫,防御有白玉蛊,进攻有月芒蛊,治疗有九叶生机草。还缺侦测类以及移动类的蛊虫,这两种蛊虫虽然只是辅助,但是一旦拥有,就补全我的短板,能让我的战斗力至少翻上三倍！”方源思量着。 He does not need in practice cognition step by step, the rich life experience, has made him know own positioning accuracy. 他不需要在实践中一步步的认知,丰富的人生经验,已经让他知道自己的准确定位。 Near the ear, the Jiang Ya sound conveys: „I heard, recently as if were some people looking for the Sir your trouble? Specially you do hire causes trouble in the bamboo house and wineshop that?” 耳边,江牙的声音传来:“我听说了,最近似乎有人在找大人您的麻烦？专门在您出租的竹楼和酒肆里闹事？” Fang Yuan frowned, was interrupted train of thought. 方源皱了皱眉头,被打断了思绪。 However, Jiang Ya said actually right. 不过,江牙说的倒是没错。 Fang Yuan also investigated clearly, this is Uncle Ancient Moon's Dong Tu stirs up trouble in behind. 方源也已经调查清楚了,这是舅父古月冻土在后面挑事。 After he Ancient Moon's Qing Shu has warned, does not dare using Fang Zheng to cause trouble. However quiet after some time, he bosom unwilling and resenting, uses his relationship network, hired some Gu Master to come to the noisy Fang Yuan's gathering place. 他被古月青书警告过之后,再也不敢利用方正来闹事。但是沉寂了一段时间后,他怀中不甘和愤恨,利用他的关系网,雇了一些蛊师来闹方源的场子。 Does business, most fears this trouble. 做生意的,最怕这种麻烦。 Therefore he recently, found time to have a look at the gathering place. 所以他最近,都抽空过来看看场子。 „Young Master, some people caused trouble.” At this moment, a waiter is having the look of anxious fear, enters compartmented. “少东家,又有人来闹事了。”就在这时,一个伙计带着焦急害怕的神色,走进隔间。 A "Oh?" Fang Yuan brow show, cannot think that today was hit by him. “哦？”方源眉头一展,想不到今天被他撞到了。 Does not need Fang Yuan to have an action to perform, one that Jiang Ya actually leaps stands, earnest -ly said: „Sir you, and does slightly, when I have a look.” 不待方源有所动作,江牙却腾的一下站起来,殷切地道：“大人您且稍作,待我去看看。” He goes out of the screen, then suddenly turns around. 他走出屏风,然后眨眼间就转身回来。 „Is Ancient Moon's Man Shi!” The Jiang Ya complexion becomes white, pulls down voice said. In his vision also reveals to worry about the color panic-stricken. “是古月蛮石！”江牙脸色变白,压低声音道。他的目光中也流露出惊恐担忧之色。 Ancient Moon's Man Shi? 古月蛮石？ The Fang Yuan conduct is discrete, fully realizes the information important. this period of time, in complete Rank 2 Gu Master the information the family collected, and slightly remembered greatly. 方源行事谨慎,深知情报的重要。这段时间,已经将家族中全部的二转蛊师的情报都收集到手,并且大略都记住了。 Ancient Moon's Man Shi is slightly has statement Gu Master, is good at defending, Strength Qi, is taking on the team leader of boulder group. On the reputation status, must slightly strong plan compared with sickness snake Jue San. 古月蛮石是个略有声明的蛊师,擅长防御,有一把力气,担当着蛮石小组的组长。论名声地位,比病蛇角三还要稍强一筹。 Bang! 砰！ Transmits the wine pot to break from outside in the sound of ground. 从外传来酒坛砸碎在地上的声音。 Afterward a rough rampant sound resounds: „Bah, what liquor are you? Like horse Niao, dares to sell to Sir I to drink?” 随后一个粗犷嚣张的声音响起:“呸,你这是什么酒？像马尿一样,也敢卖给大爷我喝？” „Snort!” In the Fang Yuan eye the cold glow flashed, has stood. “哼！”方源眼中寒芒一闪,站了起来。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
