Steams the lamb, burns the flowered duck, steams the eight precious ingredients pig, the polished glutinous rice ferments the duck, grasps fries the carp, the assorted wrap/sets intestines, hemp butter volume, the honey thread Chinese yam, the wire drawing fresh peach, eight precious ingredients Ding Er, steams the dried and sliced bamboo shoots, the ape lip, the camelback, the velvet, the bear's paws, the mixed sea food osmanthus soup, the beeswax elbow, the mixed sea food shark fin...... A moment later, Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing sit in three private rooms, the front is suspending full big table of cooked food, each color fragrance is complete. 蒸羊羔,烧花鸭,清蒸八宝猪,江米酿鸭子,抓炒鲤鱼,什锦套肠,麻酥油卷儿,蜜丝山药,拔丝鲜桃,八宝丁儿,清蒸玉兰片,猩唇,驼峰,鹿茸,熊掌,三鲜木樨汤,蜜蜡肘子,三鲜鱼翅……片刻之后,方源和白凝冰坐在三层的雅座上,面前则摆着满满一大桌的菜肴,各个色香味俱全。 Fang Yuan took the bamboo chopsticks, has eaten several at will, he ate first has steamed the dried and sliced bamboo shoots, fresh tasty, making person consciousness inspire. Also has used piece of wire drawing fresh peach, sweet, but is not greasy. Uses the bear's paws again, fat and tender delicious, steams the lamb is also the crisp and tender, stains some seasonings, appears the flavor is better. 方源取了竹筷,随意吃了几口,他先吃了清蒸玉兰片,清新爽口,令人精神一振。又用了一片拔丝鲜桃,甜而不腻。再取用熊掌,肥嫩可口,蒸羊羔也是脆嫩有加,沾上一些调味料,更显得风味俱佳。 Bai Ningbing has eaten mixed sea food osmanthus soup, immediately full mouth promotes saliva or body fluids, the tooth lip keeps the fragrance, was transferred the appetite. 白凝冰喝了一口三鲜木樨汤,顿时满口生津,齿唇留香,也被调动起食欲。 „Is together these many days with you, sees your natural rarely.” She is eating at the same time, does not forget to Fang Yuan cold Feng. “和你相处这么多天,难得见你大方一回。”她一边吃着,也不忘对方源一番冷讽。 Fang Yuan smiles, has not talked, he knows the doubts and anxiety in Bai Ningbing heart. 方源一笑,没有搭话,他知道白凝冰心中的疑惑和焦躁。 He is close Shang Xinci, the fee/spent with all one's heart strength, protects her tirelessly. Arrived the destination, intentionally has actually distinguished. This matter made Bai Ningbing unable to completely understand. 他一路接近商心慈,费尽心力,不辞辛苦地保护她。到了目的地,却故意分别。这事情令白凝冰看不透。 But Fang Yuan now is Rank 2 peak, only has the one pace from Rank 3. Initially he and Bai Ningbing supposed making of Rank 3, now arrived at the final important pass. 而方源如今已经是二转巅峰,距离三转只有一步之遥。当初他和白凝冰设下三转之约,如今已经到了最后关口。 But Fang Yuan will not certainly abide by! In his eyes, good faith type of thing, but under has no alternative the compromise, or is the one layer wonderful camouflage, a lifelike mask. 但方源当然是不会守约的！在他眼中,诚信这种东西,不过是无可奈何之下的妥协,或者是一层美妙的伪装,一张逼真的面具。 Is clear about this Fang Yuan, Bai Ningbing is also clear. 关于这点方源清楚,白凝冰也清楚。 Therefore in her heart anxious. 所以她心中焦躁。 Because she has had a premonition, Fang Yuan this bastard will break a promise surely. But she takes Fang Yuan not to have means that Yang Gu in in Fang Yuan's hand, her refrain from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases. 因为她已经预感到,方源这混蛋必定会毁约。但她偏偏拿方源没有办法,阳蛊在方源手中,她投鼠忌器得很。 Now does not have hunt of Bai Family, without Beast Tide, Fang and Bai two peoples shares a table to eat meal, seems like harmonious warm, but in fact related already anxiously to the extreme, proceeded to develop again one step, disintegrated. 如今没有百家的追捕,没有兽潮,方白二人同桌吃饭,看似和谐温馨,但实际上关系已经紧张到了极点,再往前发展一步,就是分崩离析。 But when this step, is Fang Yuan officially promotes Rank 3. 而这一步,就是方源正式晋升三转之时。 Once he promotes Rank 3, the leeway that the he and Bai Ningbing last vast domain between transfer did not have, both sides must meet the tough head-on with toughness, face-to-face. 一旦他晋升三转,他和白凝冰之间的最后一点寰转的余地都没有了,双方必须硬碰硬,面对面。 Processes Bai Ningbing? 怎么处理白凝冰呢？ Fang Yuan eats meal, in while thinks. 方源一边吃饭,也在一边思索。 His cultivation base is impossible to bog down, always had to welcome that day of contradictory eruption. 他的修为不可能停滞不前,总有迎来矛盾爆发的那一天。 The present situation, is very subtle. 现在的情形,十分微妙。 Fang Yuan crushed stone because of controlling Yang Gu, but gets the winning side, however Bai Ningbing is also grasping in fact the Fang Yuan's handle. 方源碎石因为掌控着阳蛊,而占据上风,然而事实上白凝冰也掌握着方源的把柄。 She and Fang Yuan travels together, participated in the White Bones Mountain inheritance by oneself, how also witnessed Fang Yuan to attract the beast group attack caravan. 她和方源一路同行,亲身参与了白骨山传承,又亲眼目睹了方源如何吸引兽群袭击商队。 She knows were too many. 她知道的太多了。 Compared with Ding Hao that potential threat, Bai Ningbing without doubt is much bigger to the Fang Yuan's risk. 和丁浩那个潜在威胁相比,白凝冰对方源的危险性无疑要大得多。 „If kills Bai Ningbing, that side Shang Xinci did not need to be worried. However my cultivation base is insufficient, must kill on the Bai Ningbing perhaps being an expert trade route is the best opportunity, but I must rely on her strength, guarantee the probability of survival at that time. Side Shang Xinci's, is not good to start. Bai Ningbing this fellow, in secret has been alerting actually to me. She also has the protection of ice flesh jade bone, cannot achieve strikes to kill. Moreover she fights the consciousness to be very outstanding, after recently tempering of this period of time, more vicious......” “如果将白凝冰干掉,商心慈那边就不用担心了。但是我的修为不足,要杀白凝冰也许在行商路上是最好的机会,但那个时候我还须借助她的力量,确保生存的几率。况且在商心慈的身边,也不好下手。白凝冰这家伙,对我其实一直都暗中戒备着。她本身又有冰肌玉骨的防护,做不到一击必杀。而且她战斗意识十分出色,经过最近这段时间的磨砺,更加老辣……” In the Fang Yuan mind the train of thought surges, in the same Bai Ningbing heart is also racking brains. 方源脑海中思绪翻腾,同样的白凝冰心中也在苦思冥想。 „Leaves from Silvergrass Mountain, to the present, had opportunity of the respite finally. I must obtain Yang Gu, changes the man! The direct violence robs, the success ratio is not big, only if I cut to kill Fang Yuan instantaneously. But Fang Yuan this bastard, cultivation base, although only has Rank 2, but synthesizes battle strength to be much more intrepid. He is a anomaly, the fight experience is very vicious. Moreover his thoughts are quite deep mean, stops at no evil, not having what morals to be able restraint he, any matter can be done.” “从青茅山出走,到现在,终于有了一丝喘息之机。我一定要取得阳蛊,变回男儿身！直接暴力抢夺,成功率不大,除非我将方源瞬间斩杀。但方源这混蛋,修为虽然只有二转,但综合战力要强悍得多。他就是个怪胎,战斗经验无比老辣。而且他心思极为深沉阴狠,无恶不作,没有什么道德可以束缚他,什么事情都能做得出来。” „What is more essential, his trump card I have not found out clearly. However I have the superiority, his present cultivation, must strive by me. But I also know that perhaps his many secrets, I can use these things to compel him to compromise! Uses Poison Oath Gu, does not sign the contract that allows to renege on a promise with him, in addition, but can also, seize by force the gu and thief gu using Plunder Gu wait/etc., steals Yang Gu......” “更关键的是,他的底牌我还未探得清楚。不过我也不是没有优势,他现在修行,得靠我出力。而我也知道他很多秘密,也许我可以利用这些东西逼得他妥协！动用毒誓蛊,和他签订不容反悔的契约,除此之外,还可以利用强取蛊、豪夺蛊、妙手空空蛊等等,将阳蛊偷出来……” Bai Ningbing not stupid, she has endured patiently the observation all the way, has been thinking to plan. 白凝冰绝不蠢笨,她一路上一直忍耐观察,一直在思索谋算。 Two people share a table to eat meal, great distance two three steps are far, seems like the good friends, but in the heart is planning the opposite party. 二人同桌吃饭,相隔不过两三步远,看似好友,但心中都在算计对方。 The external pressure abates, the contradictions of their two worlds highlight immediately. In Merchant City this relative secure environment, they also had the time to ponder these things. 外在的压力消退下去,他们二人间的矛盾顿时凸显出来。在商家城这相对安全的环境中,他们也有功夫可以思考这些东西了。 But more is ponders deeply, these two think thorny on more! 但越是思考得深入,这两人就越觉得棘手！ The Fang Yuan conduct stops at nothing, Bai Ningbing? In her life idea, so long as lived splendidly is OK. Wait, ethical principle? What thing is that? 方源行事无所顾忌,白凝冰又何尝不是呢？在她的生活理念中,只要活得精彩就可以了。等等,道德原则？那是什么东西？ They resemble actually, similarly despises the common custom, similarly the will is powerful, similarly longs to the strength extremely, similarly only believes itself. 他们俩其实非常相像,同样蔑视世俗,同样意志强悍,同样对力量极为渴望,同样只相信自己。 Looking from the angles of other people, they are the damn devils, harms the sediment of society, their deaths were to benefitting of world. 从其他人的角度看,他们都是该死的恶魔,都是危害社会的渣滓,他们的死亡就是对世界的造福。 Because has so center of similitude, they think thorny. 正是因为有如此的相似点,他们俩人才觉得棘手。 Truly the nasty enemy, often is oneself. 真正难以对付的敌人,往往就是自己。 Most critically, they have the handle to pinch mutually in the opposite party hand. If varies to strike to subdue, making the opposite party have the opportunity of respite, then another side surely approaches was also finished! 更关键的是,他们互有把柄捏在对方手中。如果不一击制胜,让对方有了喘息之机,那么另一方也必定接近完蛋！ Two people more want more to have a headache. 两人越想越头疼。 „Bai Ningbing this fellow is not good to cope.” Fang Yuan clenches teeth secretly, in the hand available resources were too few. “白凝冰这家伙不好对付啊。”方源暗暗咬牙,手上可用的资源太少了。 „Fang Yuan this bastard does not have the weakness...... Bai Ningbing to narrow both eyes simply”, the vision ice is cold. “方源这个混蛋简直没有弱点呀……”白凝冰眯起双眼,目光冰寒。 Two people cannot find out any good idea, lifts the vision as if by prior agreement, looks to the opposite party. 两人想不出什么好点子,不约而同地抬起目光,看向对方。 The vision clashes in the midair, then touches the difference. 目光在半空中对撞,然后一触即分。 Front cooked food, although is tasty, but two people thoughts are serious, cannot eat the flavor. 面前的菜肴,虽然鲜美,但两人心思沉重,都吃不出味道来。 Although has hit half booklet, but had still spent Fang Yuan 15 primeval stones. 虽然是打了个半折,但仍旧花费了方源15块元石。 Worthily is Merchant City, the price not poor. 不愧是商家城,物价不菲。 Two people filled the belly, left the restaurant. 两人填饱肚子,出了酒楼。 Fang Yuan just walked in the avenue, listens to the passer-by to discuss. 方源刚走到大街上,就听着路人议论。 „Do you know? Just in south gate, Shang Family Patriarch appeared unexpectedly!” “你们知道吗？刚刚在南门,商家族长竟然出现了！” „How possible?” “怎么可能？” „Rapidness that real matter, he comes, the rapidness that goes , the entire street has caused a stir......” “真事情,他来的快,去的快,整条街都轰动了……” „Boasted! What character Shang Family Patriarch is, how possibly for no reason to appear on the street?” “吹牛的！商家族长是什么样的人物,怎么可能无故出现在街道上？” The rumor flutters about, some people said are Shang Yanfei, some people denied. 谣言纷飞,有人说是商燕飞,有人则否定。 The Fang Yuan choice east gate enters a city, but south gate that Shang Xinci enters. This matter passes to east gate here, was twisted must change beyond all recognition. 方源选择东门进城,而商心慈则进的南门。这事情传到东门这里,已经被扭曲得面目全非。 In the Bai Ningbing hear, this is one in hearsay, has not paid attention. The surrounding person quick also discussed other topics. 在白凝冰听来,这不过是小道消息中的一个,并没有留意。周围人很快又谈论起其他话题。 But in Fang Yuan such person with high aspirations ear, is actually the most explicit information. 但在方源这样的有心人耳中,却是最明确不过的信息。 His involuntarily laughs in one's heart, it seems like Shang Xinci this matter, not exceeds memory path. 他不由地暗笑一声,看来商心慈这事情,并没有超出记忆的轨迹。 Then, waited for the fruit to be mature, pounds in own head. 接下来,就等着果实成熟,砸在自己的头上了。 „Looks quickly, this is Flying Blue Whale, the Yi Family caravan comes!” Suddenly, on the street some people point at the sky, calls out in alarm one. “快看,这是飞天蓝鲸,翼家的商队来啦！”忽然,街道上有人手指天空,惊呼一声。 Suddenly, the pedestrians on street as if by prior agreement anchor the footsteps, face upwards to look. 一时间,街道上的行人都不约而同地停住脚步,仰天望去。 The huge shadow, covers. 巨大的阴影,笼罩下来。 In the sky, flies slowly a dark violet great whale. 天空中,缓缓飞来一头蓝色巨鲸。 Said that is „flying”, is inappropriate, rather is „roaming” good. 说是“飞”,也不恰当,倒不如说是“游”的好。 Flying Blue Whale, this is one type can the giant beast that wanders in the vault of heaven freely. 飞天蓝鲸,这是一种能在苍穹中自由游荡的巨兽。 It resides above Eastern Sea Nine Heavens, personality warm pure gentle, common Gu Master controls with the governing whale gu, for peddler. 它居于东海九天之上,性情温纯平和,常有蛊师用御鲸蛊控制住,用于行商。 The Flying Blue Whale build is huge, just like the hill is common, the peddler team hides in within the body, flies in the upper air. Compared in team that in the mountain forest peddler, not only the risk reduces greatly, but also the speed is faster. 飞天蓝鲸体型巨大,犹如小山一般,行商队伍藏身在它的体内,飞于高空之中。比在山林中行商的队伍,不仅危险性大减,而且速度更快。 But Flying Blue Whale must swallow over a thousand jin (0.5 kg) food every day, is not the large-scale family cannot raise. 但飞天蓝鲸每天都得吞食上千斤的食物,不是大型家族根本养不起。 Entire Southern Border, has Flying Blue Whale, only has Yi Family. 整个南疆,拥有飞天蓝鲸的,只有翼家。 Yi Family is also one of the Southern Border's overlords, the status and Shang Family differ not many, has the complicated relation with the Eastern Sea influence. 翼家亦是南疆的霸主之一,地位和商家相差不多,和东海势力更有千丝万缕的联系。 „Really praised to the heavens.” Bai Ningbing sighed one lightly. “真是叹为观止。”白凝冰轻叹一声。 She recalled once Bai Family stronghold, once this Flying Blue Whale pounded to fall according to the Bai Family stronghold, the entire Bai Family stronghold must be demolished. 她回想到曾经的白家寨,这种飞天蓝鲸一旦照着白家寨砸落下去,整个白家寨都要被摧垮吧。 The huge form moves on Trading Mountain, Flying Blue Whale descends to one side mountain peak place slowly. 巨大的身影在商量山上一动,飞天蓝鲸缓缓地降落到一侧山峰处。 Fang Yuan can distantly look, it opens the big mouth, the dense and numerous sunspots emigrate from its mouth slowly. 方源可以远远地望到,它张开大口,密密麻麻的黑点从它的口中缓缓移出。 These sunspots, are the Yi Family caravans. Was away from was too far, did not see clearly. 这些黑点,就是翼家的商队。只是距离太远了,看不清楚。 „The Yi Family caravan came, it seems like that the market was also turbulent.” “翼家的商队来了,看来市场又要动荡了。” „Heard that Yi Family this time has brought Rank 5 Gu, must auction in Trading Mountain.” “听说翼家这次带来了一只五转蛊,要在商量山拍卖。” „Yi Family and Eastern Sea have the relation, this time definitely brings many Eastern Sea's special products, is worth purchasing.” “翼家和东海有联系,这次肯定又带来许多东海的特产,值得购买。” On the road the topic of pedestrian, shifted to the Yi Family caravan on completely. 路上行人的话题,已经完全转移到翼家商队身上。 Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing are upward. 方源和白凝冰一路向上走。 Ancient Moon Village occupies a Silvergrass Mountain corner, but Merchant City has almost actually covered entire Trading Mountain. 古月山寨只是占据青茅山一隅,而商家城却几乎覆盖了整个商量山。 In Southern Border, even if Wu Family of first family, does not have such area broad mountain city. 在南疆,就算是第一家族的武家,也没有如此面积广阔的山城。 Entire Merchant City, various buildings have, has the bamboo house, has the adobe house, has the brick house, has the shack, has the tree room, mushroom room, cavern, tower as well as blockhouse wait/etc.. 整个商家城,各种建筑都有,有竹楼,有土坯房,有砖瓦房,有窝棚,有树屋,还有蘑菇房,洞窟,塔楼以及碉堡等等。 These constructions mix to build in the same place, has put on the one layer color heterogeneous clothes to Trading Mountain likely. 这些建筑混搭在一起,像是给商量山披上了一层色彩驳杂的衣裳。 Merchant City as the Southern Border's trade center, the area deserves for first. 商家城作为南疆的贸易中心,占地面积当之无愧为第一。 But if some people believe, this is the entirety of Merchant City, that was completely mistaken. 但如果有人认为,这就是商家城的全部,那就大错特错了。 Then is only the Merchant City outer city. 这才只是商家城的外城。 Before Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing arrive at a giant cave. 方源和白凝冰来到一处巨大的山洞前。 „Can two enter the inner city? Asked everyone to pay 100 primeval stones.” Defends Gu Master here, the putting out a hand cable/search important highway. “二位要进内城？请每人缴纳100块元石。”守在这里的蛊师,伸手索要道。 „Solely goes, needs 100 primeval stones?” Bai Ningbing expressed astonishedly. “单单进去,就需要100块元石？”白凝冰表示惊异。 „Inner city space is small, this also to prevent the irrelevant character emerges. Also facilitates to keep the peace.” Gu Master answered politely. “内城空间较小,这也是为了防止无关人物涌入进去。同时也方便维持治安。”蛊师客气地解释道。 Trading Mountain after a Shang Family several thousand years of management, not only proliferates the mountain massif surface Merchant City, but also a more thorough mountain massif, completes the inner city. 商量山经过商家数千年的经营,不仅将商家城遍布山体表面,而且更深入山体内部,建成内城。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
