Mountain massif stone forest was still flooding gloomy scarlet light. Stone column from hole roof pendant, such as but actually long towering giant tree, splendid sight. 山体石林仍旧充斥着一片晦暗的赤光。根根石柱从洞顶垂下,如倒长的参天巨木,蔚为壮观。 „Distance previous time enters here, is one month. „” In the Fang Yuan heart is thinking, is somewhat helpless. “距离上一次进入这里,已经是一个多月了吧。“”方源心中想着,有些无奈。 After three stronghold alliances, sweeps the peripheral pack of wolves unceasingly, nearby crevice secret cave, always unceasingly has Gu Master to appear and disappear. In this case, even if Fang Yuan has the Hidden Scale Gu stealth, there is a danger of exposition. 自三寨联盟之后,不断扫荡周边的狼群,以至于石缝秘洞附近,总是不断地有蛊师出没。在这种情况下,即便方源有隐鳞蛊隐身,也有暴露的危险。 Fang Yuan works discretely, 500 years of profession was also pregnant to raise enough patience, this period of time has been restraining the desire, here has not come. 方源做事谨慎,500年的生涯也孕养了足够的耐心,这段时间就一直克制着欲望,没有过来这边。 Until the change from winter to spring, the remnant wolf was swept cleanly, Gu Master passes in and out has been short, Fang Yuan has then circled a great-circle in outer sect, then has used Hidden Scale Gu, the stealth arrived here. 直到冬去春来,残狼被扫荡干净,蛊师进出的少了,方源这才在外门绕了一个大圈,然后动用了隐鳞蛊,一路隐身来到此处。 One month passes by, on path that once made a connection with , some Stone Monkey groups move. 一个多月过去,曾经打通的通路上,又有一些石猴群迁徙过来。 However what rejoices, the quantity of monkey group is quite scarce. 不过庆幸的是,猴群的数量较为稀少。 Fang Yuan has spent some times, cuts to kill the monkey group to push onward, finally resists stone forest once more most central. 方源花费了一些功夫,斩杀猴群一路挺进,终于再次抵挡石林的最中央。 Under giant stone column shadow, one obviously is artificial opening cave entrance, appears in his at present. 巨大的石柱阴影下,一个明显是人工开辟的洞口,出现在他的眼前。 In cave entrance, the rough stone steps have led to the dark underground. 洞口中,粗糙的石阶一直通往黑暗的地下。 Fang Yuan stimulates to movement White Jade Gu, covers the one layer slightly bright jade light from top to bottom, cautiously ascends the step under. 方源催动白玉蛊,浑身上下罩住一层微亮的玉光,小心翼翼地拾阶而下。 His left hand lifts up high a flare, the right hand palm is shining graceful moonlight-- Moonglow Gu to be ready. 他的左手高举着一只火把,右手掌心则亮着盈盈的月光——月芒蛊已经蓄势待发。 A surrounding darkness, even if there is flare , can only illuminate the surrounding five steps far distance. 周围一片黑暗,就算是有火把,也只能照亮周围五步远的距离。 In this case, if Gu insect of illumination were much better. What a pity Fang Yuan net worth also not so rich. 这种情况下,若是有一只照明的蛊虫就好多了。可惜方源身家还没有如此丰厚。 One step searched, walked the long time, he then came to the end of stone steps. 一步一探,走了半晌,他这才走到石阶的尽头。 A leaf works rough Stone Gate to appear in front of Fang Yuan's. 一扇做工粗糙的石门出现在方源的面前。 „In the Golden Centipede hole kills body calamity, available Earth Communication avoiding disaster disaster.” Fang Yuan holds up the flare, discovered that on Stone Gate is carving some characters. “金蜈洞中杀身祸,可用地听避凶灾。”方源举起火把,发现石门上刻着一些字。 Earth Communication...... 地听…… Golden Centipede...... 金蜈…… Fang Yuan narrows both eyes, bright light glitters, hidden has become aware. 方源眯起双眼,精光闪烁一阵,隐有所悟。 „If I expect do not miss......” his squatting down body, strokes the ground with the hand, quick touches before Stone Gate to moist land. “如果我所料不差……”他蹲下身子,用手抚摸地面,很快就在石门前摸到一处湿润的土地。 „Had.” In his heart slightly one happy, digs up this soils with the hand, if really has discovered Hidden Earth Flower. “有了。”他心中微微一喜,用手挖开这片泥土,果真发现了一朵地藏花。 cautiously opens out the flower petal, he takes out one Gu Insect from unfaithful/stamen. 小心翼翼地拨开花瓣,他从花心中取出一只蛊虫。 This gu is quite special. 这只蛊相当特别。 It looks like an ear of person, is only smaller, all over the body is the earth yellow lusters, withered and dark pinches mutely in the hand, is somewhat withered, looks like the radish of souse does, is having point warming up slightly. 它就像是一只人的耳朵,只是更小一些,通体都是土黄色泽,干瘪且暗哑捏在手中,有些干瘪,就像是腌制的萝卜干,带着一点微微的温热。 Ear in peripheral, stretches out the rhizome to the extension. These tall and slender root hair, dozens, are the ginseng of ginseng must fully likely. 耳朵周边上,向外延伸出根茎。这些细长的根须,足有数十根,像是人参的参须。 This is a Rank 2 grass gu, the people call-- Earth Communication Ear Grass. 这是一棵二转的草蛊,人们称之为——地听肉耳草。 Earth Communication Ear Grass in looks at hand, a Fang Yuan item of light flash several flashed. 看着手中的地听肉耳草,方源目光闪了几闪。 The promptness that this Earth Communication Ear Grass comes, may be used in the reconnaissance, is suiting him to use. 这地听肉耳草来的及时,可用于侦察,正适合他用。 Earth Communication Ear Grass has a big merit, is the reconnaissance range reaches three hundred steps, this distance in Rank 2 reconnoiters in Gu insect, quite outstanding. 地听肉耳草有一大优点,就是侦察距离远达三百步,这个距离在二转侦察蛊虫中,相当的出类拔萃。 Moreover Earth Communication Ear Grass is also easy to feed. 而且地听肉耳草又容易喂养。 Its feeding, is the ginseng of ginseng must. 它的食料,便是人参的参须。 Southern Border of this world are the remote mountains and ancient forests, the ginseng must be much more than Earth on. hunter climbs mountains to hunt, sometimes occasionally will pick some. 这世界的南疆多是深山老林,人参比地球上要多得多。猎户上山狩猎,时不时地就会采到一些。 Especially the ginseng is very easy to store, so long as truly were does thoroughly, sealed under the later normal temperature, can storage be very long. 尤其是人参很容易贮藏,只要确实是干透了的,密封之后常温之下,就能存储很久。 The Moon Orchids petal in several days will wither, but the ginseng must actually be able to preserve for a long time. 月兰花瓣几天内就会枯萎,但参须却能长久储藏。 „Gu insect Cultivation, Utilization, and Refinement, these three aspects are broad and profound, mysterious extraordinary. Although Earth Communication Ear Grass is easy to raise, but uses quite to be troublesome.” Fang Yuan ponders secretly. His hand pinches this Earth Communication Ear Grass, primeval essence is urging secretly, shortly on refined it. “蛊虫养、用、炼,这三个方面博大精深,奥妙非凡。地听肉耳草虽然容易养,但是用起来却比较麻烦。”方源暗忖。他手捏着这棵地听肉耳草,真元暗暗一催,顷刻间就炼化了它。 Earth Communication Ear Grass is very outstanding, can compare favorably with many Rank 3 Gu Insect in the distance of reconnaissance simply. But ascends the sky is fair, must use Earth Communication Ear Grass, is not refined on the line, but also needs to pay certain prices. 地听肉耳草十分优秀,在侦察的距离上简直可以媲美许多三转蛊虫。但上天是公平的,要使用地听肉耳草,并非炼化了就行,还需要付出某些代价。 It looks like the zombie gu and Wood Charm Gu, must match other Gu insect simultaneously uses. Otherwise individually with long words, the Gu Master's body will be corroded, turns into true zombie or Treeman. 就像是僵尸蛊、木魅蛊,必须搭配一些其他的蛊虫一齐使用。否则单个用久了的话,蛊师的身躯就会受到侵蚀,变成真正的僵尸或者树人。 „Many Gu insect, sole refine succeeds, is unuseful, but also needs some special conditions. This Earth Communication Ear Grass is so. If I had this gu, can try to find the true situation, truly achieves to accomplish a task with ease in wolf tide, even can use this wolf tide, serves some purposes......” “很多蛊虫,单单炼化成功,却也不能使用,还需要一些特殊条件。这棵地听肉耳草就是如此。我若是有了这蛊,就能探听虚实,真正在狼潮中做到游刃有余,甚至能利用这场狼潮,达到一些目的……” Fang Yuan has thought that the decision uses this Earth Communication Ear Grass. 方源思索了一下,就决定采用这棵地听肉耳草。 The income has been bigger than the loss, even if must therefore pay that price, for the future, is also nothing. 收益已经大于损失,因此哪怕是要付出那个代价,为了未来,也算不了什么。 „Which world regardless, has not paid, which harvests?” In the Fang Yuan heart sneers, received Earth Communication Ear Grass aperture. “不论哪个世界,没有付出,哪来收获？”方源心中冷笑一声,将地听肉耳草收入空窍之内。 He deeply looked at Stone Gate one, turns around to leave. 他深深地望了石门一眼,转身离开。 If not expect badly, Stone Gate another side will have a bad risk. Needs to use Earth Communication Ear Grass, may evade. 如果所料不差,石门的另一侧将有一番凶险。需要用地听肉耳草,才可避过。 Fang Yuan withdraws from secret cave, is not busy rotates village, but transferred outside several, after hunting and killing several lone wolf, has resulted in several pairs of wolf's eyes beads, this goes back. 方源退出秘洞,却不忙回转山寨,而是在外转了几圈,猎杀了几头孤狼后,得了几对狼眼珠子,这才回去。 In the meritorious military service list he was still last, walked on the street, knew that his Gu Master, threw the vision of faint laughter and contempt to him. 战功榜上他仍旧是最后一名,走在街道上,一些认识他的蛊师,都对他投来隐隐嬉笑、轻视的目光。 Fang Yuan does not care, still stuck to one's own way of doing things. 方源也不在意,仍旧我行我素。 After that several days, he used the meager meritorious military service to exchange the ginseng to, has fed that Earth Communication Ear Grass, making it restore to the vitality full condition. 其后几天,他用微薄的战功兑了参须,好生喂养了那棵地听肉耳草,让它恢复到生机饱满的状态。 The the greater part attention of family was involved by wolf tide, nobody pays attention to Fang Yuan. If before, perhaps that side the Uncle aunt also will pester, but since Fang Yuan family property reselling in the past, that side again did not have the sound. 家族的大部分注意力都被狼潮所牵扯,无人关注方源。若是以前,兴许舅父舅母那边还会有所纠缠,但自从方源将家产转卖过去后,那边就再无动静了。 difficult to do openly, easy to do secretly. 明事难成,暗事好作。 Quick, the Fang Yuan low key and has successfully completed some preparatory work. 很快,方源低调且顺利地完成了一些准备工作。 That night, with a bright moon and few stars. 这一夜,月明星稀。 Moon such as bright full moon is hanging high, the gentle curtain of night like the gauze, covers Silvergrass Mountain. 月亮如玉盘高高悬挂,温柔夜幕如纱,罩住青茅山。 When occasionally, the wolf howling sound indistinctly transmits from the distant place. 时不时地,就有一阵狼嚎声从远方隐约传来。 Fang Yuan fastens the windows and doors, stands on the floor of rent stark naked.
