As litigant, the investigation of Fang Yuan nature received family. 作为当事人,方源自然受到了家族的调查。 But this investigation is not thorough, the family high level by more and more serious wolf tide, was attracted almost complete attention. Fang Yuan's Earth Communication Ear Grass and Hidden Scale Gu were still hiding, but is exposed, Fang Yuan can also all advance the body of caravan it. 但这调查并不深入,家族高层被越来越严重的狼潮,吸引了几乎全部的注意力。方源的地听肉耳草、隐鳞蛊都仍旧隐藏着,但就算是暴露出来,方源也可以将其全部推到商队的身上。 Under wolf tide, the transportation cut off in any case, the caravan will not arrive. In this case, the family cannot obtain caravan that side confirmation, the investigation will only delay. 反正狼潮之下,交通已经断绝,商队也不会到来。这种情况下,家族得不到商队那边的确认,调查只会拖延下来。 Can have the findings truly time, that Fang Yuan already cultivation arrived at Rank 3, went out of Silvergrass Mountain. 真正能有调查结果的时候,那方源早就修行到三转,走出青茅山了。 Naturally, if Four Taste Wine Insect and Spring and Autumn Cicada, exposed, regarded as another matter. 当然,若是四味酒虫和春秋蝉,暴露出来,就另当别论了。 Which exposed regardless, will create the big stir of entire stronghold. 不论哪一个暴露出来,都会引起全寨的大震动。 Four Taste Wine Insect, is representing brand-new Fusion Refining secret technique, the significance is extremely great. Even if Fang Yuan advances on this caravan, did not explain. Must receive the overall statistical survey of family. 四味酒虫,代表着全新的合炼秘法,意义极其重大。哪怕方源将这推到商队身上,也解释不了。必会受到家族的全面调查。 Once Spring and Autumn Cicada were discovered that one side any wolf tide dies. This is Rank 6 Gu Insect! Even if were Patriarch Ancient Moon's Bo saw, must cast aside all considerations for face, the kinship of any nonsense, the position of any Patriarch be able not to want immediately. Will force to rob it inevitably, does not have two words. 春秋蝉一旦被发现,什么狼潮都死一边去。这可是六转蛊虫！哪怕是族长古月博见了,也要立即撕破脸皮,什么狗屁的亲情,什么族长之位都可以不要。势必逼迫抢夺之,没有二话。 ...... In July, burning hot summer, air, if the flowing fire, is filling iron rank Blood Qi. ……七月,炎热的夏季,空气若流火,弥漫着铁腥的血气。 wolf tide is getting more and more serious, the fight is also getting more and more intense. 狼潮越来越严重,战斗也越来越激烈。 Many people start to realize, this time wolf tide scale in passing history, is rare huge. 很多人都开始意识到,此次的狼潮规模在过往的历史中,也属罕见的庞大。 The bold Lightning Wolf group degenerated into the supporting role, over a thousand Violent Lightning Wolf group disbursements not around village. 豪电狼群已经沦为配角,上千头的狂电狼群一支支出没在山寨周围。 The existing space of human, was compressed to the extremely low degree. 人类的生存空间,被压缩到极低的程度。 headquarters is also like so of Ancient Moon clan, at the foot of the hill village not to mention. 就连古月一族的大本营也是如此,山脚下的村庄就更别提了。 Desolates, part of lucky villagers, through various relations, survive village. But more villagers, have to leave the homeland, to avoid the pack of wolves, starts to climb mountains and cross rivers. 十室九空,一部分幸运的村民,通过各种关系,生存到山寨当中。但更多的村民,只好离开家园,为了躲避狼群,开始跋山涉水。 Their destinations are village on another mountain. But ferocious beast and wild gu along the way, almost covering the mountains and the plains Lightning Wolf, makes the hope that they move compress the tiny particle. 他们的目的地是另一处山上的山寨。但沿途的猛兽、野蛊,几乎漫山遍野的电狼,都让他们迁徙的希望压缩成渺小的微粒。 This is a desperate journey. 这是一场绝望之旅。 These mortals have had to discard by a Ancient Moon clan, they the total in the halfway will die. Does not have a full stomach for ferocious beast, was killed by the insect group. 这些凡人已经被古月一族不得不舍弃,他们将在半途中全数死去。不是为猛兽果腹,就是被虫群杀死。 No matter the mortal or Gu Master, are at struggling between life and death. Even if in the ordinary day Family Elders of position high weight, has to put on armor and go to battle personally. 不管是凡人还是蛊师,都在生死间的挣扎。哪怕是平日里位高权重的家老们,也不得不亲自披挂上阵。 Gu Masters that formerly retired, was recruited. After wolf tide finished, can live truly certainly not over 1/10. 先前退隐下来的蛊师们,被重新征召起来。当狼潮结束之后,真正能活下来的绝不超过1。 The brutality of nature, is revealing at this moment without doubt. the weak are prey to the strong and survival of the fittest, did not shout that two softhearted words, can avoid. 大自然的残酷,在此刻显露无疑。弱肉强食、优胜劣汰,不是喊两句温情的话,就能避免的。 ...... Fang Yuan sits cross-legged above the bed, with both eyes closed tightly, the mind sinks to aperture. ……方源盘坐在床榻之上,双目紧闭,心神沉入空窍。 In aperture, 44% red iron sea mighty waves live to extinguish, the tide has the ebb tide. These primeval essence, are red becoming dark, is dark red primeval essence of Rank 2 peak. 空窍中,44的赤铁海波涛生灭,潮起潮落。这些真元,都是红的发黑,是暗红色的二转巅峰之真元。 Rank 2 primeval essence, is generally called red iron primeval essence. But in initial stage, middle stage, upper stage and peak four different small Realm, red iron primeval essence also has difference slightly. 二转真元,统称为赤铁真元。但在初阶、中阶、高阶、巅峰四个不同的小境界,赤铁真元亦存在着微微的差别。 Rank 2 initial stage primeval essence, is pink. Rank 2 middle stage primeval essence, is the red red. Arrived upper stage, is dark red. peak is dark red. 二转初阶的真元,是浅红色的。二转中阶的真元,是绯红色的。到了高阶,则是深红。巅峰才是暗红。 Many days ago, Fang Yuan from middle stage cultivation base promoted to upper stage. Original dark red primeval essence, after the refinement of Four Taste Wine Insect, as well as the supplement of primeval stones, transforms into present dark red primeval essence completely. 许多天前,方源就从中阶修为晋升到了高阶。本来的深红真元,经过四味酒虫的提炼,以及元石的补充,全部转换为如今的暗红真元。 At this time in aperture, all around aperture wall is not wave light mobile water membrane, but is white light spot overlapping thick rock membrane. 此时空窍中,四周窍壁再不是波光流动的水膜,而是白色光斑层层叠叠的厚实石膜。 White Jade Gu and Hidden Scale Gu, sink in the red iron sea. 白玉蛊、隐鳞蛊,都沉于赤铁海中。 Four Taste Wine Insect plays to play in the sea water, but when the Spring and Autumn Cicada's form appears gradually, Four Taste Wine Insect whiz, submerged to the deep seabed immediately. 四味酒虫在海水中嬉戏玩耍,但当春秋蝉的身影渐渐浮现而出的时候,四味酒虫立即嗖的一声,潜入到深深的海底去了。 At this time, entire primeval essence sea level under Spring and Autumn Cicada's aura, by town/subdues smooth like mirror, mighty waves not produce. 这个时候,整个真元海面都会在春秋蝉的气场下,被镇得平滑如镜,一丝波澜也不产生。 The Spring and Autumn Cicada's situation, is getting better and better. 春秋蝉的情况,越来越好。 Two pieces of wings fully restored, as if a pair of fresh light green leaf. Before branch body withered such as. 两片翅膀已经完全恢复,仿佛一对新鲜嫩绿的树叶。只是主干身躯还是枯槁如前。 Fang Yuan once in a while, will inspect Spring and Autumn Cicada. Now his obvious feeling, Spring and Autumn Cicada's restored the speed to be getting quicker and quicker. 方源每隔一段时间,都会检查一番春秋蝉。现在他明显的感觉到,春秋蝉的恢复速度越来越快了。 Beforehand Spring and Autumn Cicada, is similar to a patient of suffocation, opens does not open the mouth, can only drink the spoon meat, maintains the fire of life. 以前的春秋蝉,就如同一个奄奄一息的病人,张不开口,只能喝流质食物,维持生命之火。 Now this patient, can actually get out of bed, opens loudly stutters more meal diet supplements. 如今这个病人,却是可以下床,张开大口吃更多的饭菜补充营养。 The speed of restoring is naturally getting more and more fast. 恢复的速度自然越来越快。 Besides Spring and Autumn Cicada, in Fang Yuan's aperture also has the new two members. 除了春秋蝉之外,方源的空窍中还有新的两成员。 From Bai Ningbing, one is only Water Cover Gu, is similar to the jellyfish is ordinary, floats in the middle of the sea water. another is Red Iron Relic Gu. 都是得自于白凝冰,一只是水罩蛊,如同水母一般,漂浮在海水当中。另一只则是赤铁舍利蛊。 Fang Yuan from the middle stage promotion is upper stage, because of Four Taste Wine Insect Refining primeval essence, formerly also warm and nourish aperture, has accumulated to the result of qualitative change. Fang Yuan has not used this only Red Iron Relic Gu. 方源从中阶晋升为高阶,是因为四味酒虫精炼了真元,先前也一直温养空窍,积累到质变的结果。方源还并没有使用这只赤铁舍利蛊呢。 Only by cultivation base, Fang Yuan is third person in Ancient Moon one clan Rank 2 Gu Master. bear strength and Qing Shu already fallen, even if in entire Silvergrass Mountain, Fang Yuan is also first in five. 单论修为,方源已经是古月一族二转蛊师中的第三人。熊力、青书已经陨落,就算是在整个青茅山,方源也是前五之内。 As for Chi Shan and Mo Yan, originally is upper stage cultivation base, but in some time ago in pairs had promoted peak. After was to the Qing Shu sacrifice, the morale low clansmen have inspired consciousness. 至于赤山、漠颜,原本是高阶修为,但在不久前已经双双晋升巅峰。算是给青书牺牲之后,士气低迷的族人们强振了一份精神。 Fang Yuan is progressing, others are also certainly progressing. 方源在进步,别人当然也在进步。 Before, Chi Shan and Mo Yan stayed in upper stage already sometime, has been pressed a head by peak Qing Shu. 之前,赤山、漠颜停留在高阶已经有一段时间,一直被巅峰的青书压着一头。 Under death stimulation that especially wolf tide brings, made Gu Masters to strength produce serious earnestly seeking, squeezed their potential, causing cultivation base to promote. 尤其是狼潮带来的死亡刺激之下,更令蛊师们对力量产生严重的渴求,压榨出他们的潜力,导致修为提升。 „But if the battle efficiency, I must be entire Silvergrass Mountain Rank 2 Gu Master number one person. Now after having used this Red Iron Relic Gu, cultivation base selects for promotion peak, depends upon the rich experience, even can a certain extent to fighting Rank 3 Gu Master.” In the Fang Yuan heart is pondering over. “但若战斗力,我必是整个青茅山的二转蛊师第一人。现在用了这赤铁舍利蛊后,修为拔升到巅峰,依靠丰富经验,甚至能在一定程度上对战三转蛊师。”方源心中思忖着。 Formerly low key and bearing patiently, took to his substantial achievement at this time. 先前的低调和隐忍,此时带给他丰硕的成果。 By third grade natural talent, can achieve such progress, said that the clansmen must be shocked. Even if first grade natural talent Fang Zheng, at this time also Rank 2 middle stage. 以丙等资质,能达到这样的进步,说出去族人都要震惊的。就算是甲等资质的方正,此时也不过二转中阶。 Naturally, even if promotes peak, Fang Yuan could not have achieved to defeat the Rank 3 Gu Master degree. 当然,就算是晋升巅峰,方源还做不到战胜三转蛊师的程度。 Bai Ningbing initially can exceeding level cut to kill Rank 3 Gu Master , because has Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique. Ancient Moon's Qing Shu can also achieve , because has Wood Charm Gu this formidable and special Rank 3 Gu Insect. 白凝冰当初能越级斩杀三转蛊师,是因为有北冥冰魄体。古月青书也能做到,是因为有木魅蛊这只强大而又特殊的三转蛊虫。 Actually, said, Fang Yuan also has one compared with they more formidable trump card-- Spring and Autumn Cicada. 其实,说起来,方源也有一张比他们两人更强大的底牌——春秋蝉。 But this only Rank 6 Gu Insect quite special, Fang Yuan compels to have no other choice but not to use. Spring and Autumn Cicada fully has not restored, if uses forcefully, whether can the rebirth, will get a big question mark. 但这只六转蛊虫相当的特殊,方源逼不得已是不会使用的。春秋蝉还未完全恢复,若强行使用,是否能重生,也将打上一个大大的问号。 Red Iron Relic Gu is only effective to Rank 2 Gu Master, remains is not needing to be good for nothing. 赤铁舍利蛊只对二转蛊师有效,留着不用是毫无价值的。 When Fang Yuan was wanting with this Gu insect, out of the door heard knock. 方源正欲用了这枚蛊虫时,门外传来一阵敲门声。 dōng dōng dōng. 咚咚咚。 „Sir Fang Yuan, is I, Ancient Moon Jiang Ya.” After the knock, a person shouts. “方源大人,是我啊,古月江牙。”敲门声之后,一个人喊道。 Fang Yuan frowned, this Jiang Ya was getting more and more excessive recently, over and over again looks for itself, cares to purchase many Vitality Leaf. 方源皱起眉头,这个江牙最近越来越过分了,三番五次地来找自己,意欲收购更多的生机叶。 The death and disabled were getting more and more, causing the Vitality Leaf price to be also getting higher and higher, even had the city no goods available. 死亡和伤残越来越多,导致生机叶的价格也越来越高,甚至是有市无货。 „Told you many times, here unnecessary Vitality Leaf, has not rolled to me.” Fang Yuan coldly snorted, he how for the trivial primeval stones income, but gives up the self- cultivation time. “告诉你多少次了,我这里没有多余的生机叶,给我滚。”方源冷哼一声,他岂会为了区区元石收益,而放弃自我修行的时间。 Out of the door, Jiang Ya smiles obsequiously: „Sir Fang Yuan, you calms down. The present situation you also know that my this doesn't have the means? Many Gu Master know that here goes Vitality Leaf, looks. The young my day does not feel better. Like this, I raise 10% the purchase price again, Sir Fang Yuan, asking you to act charitably, gives me more than ten pieces to help in an emergency.” 门外,江牙谄笑起来:“方源大人,您消消气。现在的情况您也知道的,我这不是也没办法吗？许多蛊师知道我这里外卖生机叶,都找过来。小的我日子也不好过啊。这样吧,我把收购价再提高一成,方源大人呐,求你行行好,给我十几片救急吧。” Speaking of finally, he entreated, the sound was having the weeping voice. 说到最后,他哀求起来,声音带着哭腔。 Fang Yuan is aloof: „Is that your matter, what has that to do with me? Snort, your present courage was getting bigger and bigger, has forgotten among us the agreement, unexpectedly led other people to come secretly.” 方源无动于衷:“那是你的事情,与我何干？哼,你现在胆子越来越大了,忘了我们之间的协议,居然私自带了其他人过来。” „......” Jiang Ya stands in out of the door, smiles bitterly. He looks to Gu Masters old man, he does not have the means that this Gu Masters was too strong, must come here with him actually. “呃……”江牙站在门外,苦笑起来。他看向身边的这位蛊师老者,他也是没有办法,这位蛊师太强势了,硬是要跟着他来到这里。 „Fang Yuan little friend.” This Gu Masters old man opens the mouth saying that „I am Ancient Moon am wild, believe you have also heard me. This time wants to buy some Vitality Leaf to you, hoping the little friend can look in the face of old man, finds time, produces some.” “方源小友。”这位蛊师老者开口道,“我是古月野,相信你也听说过我。此次想向你求购一些生机叶,希望小友能看在老夫的面子上,抽出一点时间,生产一些。” „Looks at your face...... What face do you have?” Fang Yuan laughs at one. This Ancient Moon wildly indeed is some fame, retired, because of the wolf tide reason, was resurfaced by the family indication. “看你的面子……呵,你有什么面子？”方源嗤笑一声。这古月野的确是有些名气,原先已经退隐,因为狼潮的缘故,被家族征兆复出。 When his high point, achieves Rank 3 cultivation base. Because of the injured reason, cultivation base falls to Rank 2 peak. Now the age was old, cultivation base drops to Rank 2 upper stage. 他最高峰时,达到三转修为。但是因为受伤的缘故,修为落到二转巅峰。如今年龄老了,修为又下降到二转高阶。 Although is Fang Yuan same cultivation base, but the battle efficiency already insufficiently looked. 虽然是和方源同样修为,但是战斗力早就不够看了。 The Ancient Moon wild complexion is pale, he already listened to the person saying that Fang Yuan this child lonely eccentric, the temperament is smelly and hard, arrogant impolite, is supercilious. Before he comes, there is a preparation, but has not thought, still had underestimated Fang Yuan. 古月野脸色铁青,他早就听人说方源此子孤独怪僻,脾气又臭又硬,傲慢无礼,目中无人。他来之前,也有了心理准备,但是没有想到,仍旧是低估了方源。 He wants to sell a face, but this type does not have toward but disadvantageous method, is not easy-to-use Fang Yuan here. 他想要卖个老脸,但这种无往而不利的法子,在方源这里不好使了。 Suddenly, he feels on the face burning, in the heart filled has shamed the angry meaning. Own face, this time was lost completely! 一时间,他感觉到脸上火辣辣的,心中充满了羞恼之意。自己的脸面,这一次都被丢尽了！ „Son of a bitch of this having no regard for elders and superiors!” In his heart cursed one, therefore has not actually departed. “这个目无尊长的狗东西！”他心中咒骂一声,却没有因此离去。 He needs Vitality Leaf! 他需要生机叶！ He was old Jiang Hu, fully realized important of Vitality Leaf. Sometimes, piece of Vitality Leaf can save an own life. 他是老江湖了,深知生机叶的重要。有时候,一片生机叶能挽救自己的一条命。 The people are older, the guts is smaller. 人越老,胆越小。 Before, young time, he will be agitated, warm-blooded was flooded the brains. To protect the clansman, wants reformation of the world, wants to become the big hero of family! At that time he has to come to understand, it can be said that was unafraid of death! 以前,年轻的时候,他会被鼓动,被热血充斥头脑。想要守护族人,想要改变世界,想要成为家族的大英雄！那时他有着觉悟,可以说是视死如归！ But he was now old, calms down, these years completely understood. Is tastes finally. 但现在他老了,冷静下来,这些年看透了。总算是回味过来。 Especially after several children sacrificed, the heart was cooler. 尤其是几个儿女都牺牲之后,心更凉了。 Any organization, needed to sacrifice. 任何的组织,都需要牺牲。 Because the resources are limited. Although every time, production resource, but the resources are always also consumed. Such one adds reduces, total quantity was still limited. 因为资源都是有限的。虽然每时每刻,都在生产资源,但资源也总是被消耗。这样一加一减,总量仍旧是有限的。 The people must survive, need the basic necessities of life, this is the resources. Gu Master wants cultivation, needs Gu insect, primeval stones and feeding, this is the resources. 人要生存,需要衣食住行,这就是资源。蛊师要修行,需要蛊虫、元石、食料,这都是资源。 Must grow stronger, on need more resources. But you did not sacrifice, where do I come more resources? 要变强,就需要更多的资源。但你不牺牲,我哪里来更多的资源？ Dead fellow daoist not dead this poor Daoist! 死道友不死贫道！ What protects, glory, kinship, dream and warm-blooded, sacrificing a frank and upright reason. 什么守护、荣耀、亲情、梦想、热血,都是给牺牲一个光明正大的理由。 Any organization, has not encouraged the self-sacrifice. However the high level will never state clearly, they will publicize „protection, glory, kinship and dream, warm-blooded, happiness” and so on wait/etc., and gives all sorts of benefits. 任何一个组织,没有一个不鼓励自我牺牲的。但是高层从不会明说,他们都会宣扬“守护、荣耀、亲情、梦想、热血、幸福”之类等等,并给与种种福利。 But the person died, wants the benefits not to be useful, dying what „can big hero” enjoy? 但人都死了,要福利有个屁用,一个死去的“大英雄”能享受到什么？ Looked that Ancient Moon's Qing Shu. 看那古月青书罢。 He „happiness” died, was buried in earth, the name carves on the tombstone, consciousness was infecting afterward „hero”. 他“幸福”地死去了,被埋在土里,名字刻在墓碑上,精神感染着后来的“英雄”们。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
