The Ye Tianmei black eyebrow coloring eyebrow wrinkles, expression is dignified, stares at that several drops of black blood, the eye has not been winking. 叶天眉黛眉皱起,神色凝重,盯着那数滴黑血,眼都未眨一下。 When she steps into this room, Divine Consciousness was already big, in several feet range all covers together with the surrounding area this room. But by its Crystal Transforming Stage formidable cultivation base, had not discovered at that time actually the clues of related that several drops of black blood. 她方一踏入此屋之时,神识早已大开,将此屋连同方圆数丈内范围一切全笼罩在内。但以其化晶期的强大修为,当时却未曾发现有关那数滴黑血的蛛丝马迹。 This time, the if it were not for Ye Tianmei basis formerly the clue had found that places of two people of temporarily residing, and does not hesitate the stimulation of movement secret technique of strength of True Yuan, provides against contingencies given that the alliance high level has two alliance Deacon blood essence magical tool to offer a sacrifice, has discovered the trails of these several drops of black blood, otherwise this matter did not have the clue. 这一次,要不是叶天眉根据先前线索已找到了那二人的暂住之地,并不惜真元之力的催动秘术,将联盟高层为防万一所给予的那件藏有两名联盟执事精血的法器祭出,找出了这数滴黑血的踪迹,否则这件事更是毫无头绪了。 Even if so, at present besides these drops of black blood, two people suddenly is actually unable to find other anything clue. 即便如此,目前除了这几滴黑血之外,二人一时间却也无法找到其他什么线索。 Now looks like, is very likely some people desirably, does not know unexpectedly has used the what kind of strange method, mostly cancelled with that two Deacon related clues this room. 现在看来,很有可能是有人刻意为之,竟不知施展了何种诡异手段,将此屋内与那二名执事有关的线索大都抹去了。 These residual black blood possibly are the opposite party for a while neglect nothing more., 这些残留的黑血可能是对方一时疏忽而已。, „It seems like alliance these two Deacon most likely have all encountered the mishap.” Liu Ming is looking at these black blood, after sighing, saying that muttered. “看来联盟这两位执事十有八九全都已遭遇了不测。”柳鸣望着这些黑血,叹了一口气后,喃喃的说道。 „This matter indeed is somewhat troublesome.” After Ye Tianmei silent moment, said slowly, his white hands toward airborne one move, after silver light glittering, the silver small cauldron then lasing flies back to her sleeve to vanish does not see. “此事的确是有些麻烦。”叶天眉沉默了片刻后,缓缓地说道,其玉手往空中一招,银光闪烁过后,银色小鼎便激射飞回她袖中消失不见。 „Martial Uncle Ye this time found here through the secret technique, may so far, the clue actually very fuzzy appearance, not know that now has what plan?” Liu Ming sees that asking that the vision dodges. “叶师叔这次通过秘术找到这里,可到目前为止,线索却非常模糊的样子,不知现在有何打算的？”柳鸣见状,目光微闪的问道。 „Since our already had found here, truth that naturally again flinches.” The Ye Tianmei frown selects, expression quite firm saying. “既然我们已经找到了这里,自然再没有再退缩的道理了。”叶天眉双眉一挑,语气颇为坚定的说道。 „Can master what matter need the younger generation to work for?” Liu Ming said that on the face expression appears quite sincere. “那师什么事要需要晚辈效劳吗？”柳鸣说道,脸上神色显得颇为诚恳。 „Martial Nephew such being the case said that these two **, and under inquiry news to this Valley Southern City, under best understanding in recent city whether has any exceptionally place. As for other matters, I have the consideration.” Ye Tianmei does not have polite direct replied but actually. “师侄既然如此说了,这两**且到这谷南城中打探下消息,最好了解下最近城内是否有什么异常之处。至于其他之事,我自有考虑的。”叶天眉倒也没有客气的直接回道。 „Yes, to the Martial Uncle instruction!” Liu Ming does not add the hesitant nod to comply. “是,任凭师叔吩咐！”柳鸣不加犹豫的点头答应下来。 „This matter the person wants to come not to be simple, may involve existence of Crystal Transforming Stage.” After Ye Tianmei thinks, slowly said. “此事所涉之人想来并不简单,有可能牵涉化晶期的存在。”叶天眉想一想后,又缓缓的说道。 „Crystal Transforming Stage! Is it possible that in three big influences with the island is related?” After Liu Ming hear, somewhat was astonished however. “化晶期！莫非和岛上三大势力有关？”柳鸣听完后,有些讶然了。 If really and Crystal Transforming Stage had the relations, involved this matter somewhat to ask for trouble rashly without doubt, although strength endured compared with Late Stage Liquid Condensing, had Bone Scorpion and Demon Head to assist, but met Crystal Transforming Stage to exist, was impossible to have odds of suc­cess, sorrow of life appearance. 如果真和化晶期扯上了关系,冒然介入此事无疑是有些惹火烧身了,虽说自己实力堪比凝液后期,更有骨蝎、魔头相助,但遇上化晶期存在,仍不可能有胜算,还有性命之忧的样子。 Ye Tianmei sees Liu Ming to reveal the appearance that the color of ponder has not spoken for a while, saying of faint smile: 叶天眉见柳鸣露出沉思之色一时没有说话的样子,又似笑非笑的说道: „That two Deacon are also Liquid Condensing Stage cultivator, can their silent abducts or the person of killing from the inn, most likely also only then Crystal Transforming Stage can achieve. However this matter also is only I at present guessed, as for whether really so, unknown. However you in the city walk, should better be discrete a point good.” “那两名执事也是凝液期修士,能将他们无声无息的从客栈中掳走或杀害之人,十有八九也只有化晶期者才能做到。不过此事也仅是我目前猜测,至于是否真的如此,也是未知的。不过你在城中行走的时候,最好还是谨慎一点的好。” „many thanks Martial Uncle Ye urged, the younger generation will add carefully!” Liu Ming hears here, in the heart slightly cold saying. “多谢叶师叔叮嘱,晚辈自会多加小心的！”柳鸣听到此处,心中微微一凛的说道。 ...... …… A late safe! 一晚无事！ Next morning, Liu Ming on expression tranquil went out of the ocean waves inn, starts along the Valley Southern City street, each family store slowly examines. 第二天一早,柳鸣就神色平静的走出了碧波客栈,开始沿着谷南城的街道,一家家商铺的慢慢查看起来。 Regarding entering the first go it alone after Turtle Yuan Island, and under not having situation of clue, can only take a walk toward person many places first as far as possible. 对于进入鳖元岛后的第一次单独行动,且在毫无头绪的情况之下,只能先尽量往人多之处走动了。 Even if this Valley Southern City is unable compared with past Da Xuan Country the city in capital city Xuan Capital general sense, but the store many is also quite astonishing. 这座谷南城纵然无法和当年大玄国的都城玄京一般意义上的城池相比,但商铺之多也颇为惊人。 He has spent the time of most of the day, the less than half store will have transferred. 他足足花费了大半天的时间,才将其中小半商铺转过了一遍。 Although there are many unexpected benefits, and had found some attribute crystal stone and scarce materials, but the related cultivator missing similar news, does not have. 虽然有不少的意外收获,并找到了一些属性晶石和稀缺材料,但是有关修士失踪的类似消息,却丝毫没有。 Liu Ming does not have many meanings of being discouraged but actually, instead is maintaining indifferent expression. 柳鸣对此倒没有多少气馁之意,反而一直保持着淡然的神色。 ...... …… In the remaining small half-day time, Liu Ming still various places in the city strolled, and sells the news the secret influence place to purchase some in several that before inquired specially and this place related information, 剩下的小半天时间里,柳鸣仍旧在城内各处闲逛,并在之前打探到的几处专门出售消息的隐秘势力处购买了一些和此地有关的情报, Finally made it have some to this Valley Southern City situation to understand probably. 终于让其对这谷南城情况有了一些大概了解。 First recently indeed had cultivator to be missing, but this matter was actually not the news, even occurred frequently. But is low level Rouge Cultivator that these do not know the immensity of heaven and earth, various store or the auction place and a person word in the city does not gather has the battle, was guarded lightly by the Crystal Valley patrolling city, then pursues, heavy abolished cultivation base to invest to work. 首先是最近的确有修士失踪,但此事却并非新闻了,甚至经常发生。但无一不是那些不知天高地厚的低阶散修,在城内各商铺或拍卖场所与人一言不合发生争斗,被晶谷巡城守卫轻则驱逐,重则废除修为投入灵牢了。 So-called missing is these spirits firm once for a while some people are sent to the Crystal Valley mine tunnel to reduce to the ore slave coolie, this matter in Valley Southern City is the matter of publicity, but the average person will not mention, has a tacit understanding. 所谓的失踪则是那些灵牢中时不时会有人被送去晶谷矿坑贬为矿奴苦力的,此事在谷南城内是人尽皆知的事情,但一般人也不会提及,心照不宣罢了。 Next then has the news to spread, some Sea Race big tribe has three to be sent Turtle Yuan Island Deacon disciple, was cut to kill by not well-known female cultivator in the harbor small town, condensate Intermediate Stage ends up to turn out the fate that a skeleton does not have. That influence high level is furious, has sent out in the clan Elder to come Turtle Yuan Island to investigate this matter. 其次便是有消息传出,海族某大部落有三名被派来鳖元岛的执事弟子,在港口小镇被一不知名女修斩杀,其中一凝液中期更是落得个尸骨全无的下场。那个势力高层对此十分震怒,已派出族内长老前来鳖元岛调查此事。 When Liu Ming hears this matter, in the surface expression is invariable, is only the heart of hearts, quite some didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 柳鸣听闻此事时,面上神色不变,只是内心深处,颇有些哭笑不得了。 ...... …… Third day morning. 第三天上午。 The before old shop restaurant in Valley Southern City city bustling streets „Azure Bamboo restaurant”, came a youth of grey robe. 谷南城城区闹市的老字号酒楼“青竹酒楼”前,来了一位灰袍的青年。 This person stands above the broad street before building, narrows the eye to look at the advertisement of restaurant, the expression quite somewhat strange meaning, is Liu Ming. 这人站在楼前的宽阔街道之上,眯着眼睛望了望酒楼的招牌,神色颇有些古怪之意,正是柳鸣。 Mentioned also skillfully, his originally then plans in the city in the restaurant to inquire today, but in yesterday that sell news Monster Race cultivator, after the conversation, spirit liquor in quite warm recommendation this restaurant vigorously „Azure Bamboo”. 说来也巧,他原本便打算今日在城中酒楼之中打探一番,而昨日里那名出售消息的妖族修炼者,在言谈之后,颇为热情的极力推荐此酒楼中的灵酒“青竹”。 The restaurant area is not big, the business exceptionally is booming, the communication guest continuous appearance. 酒楼面积不大,生意却异常兴隆,来往客人络绎不绝的样子。 Reason that so, is spirit liquor that because this restaurant sells „Azure Bamboo”, is of great help to cultivator, mortal drinking also has the prolonging the life effect. 之所以如此,便是因为此酒楼所售的灵酒“青竹”,对修士大有裨益,凡人喝之也有延年益寿的功效。 Pedestrian who from the restaurant on the avenue passed by, can smell the thick wine that in the restaurant sends out, the mouth-watering desire drops, is really attractive. 从酒楼外大街上路过的行人,都能闻到酒楼上发出的浓浓酒香,让人垂涎欲滴,甚是诱人。 Liu Ming after discovering a building dines the people of eating meal is various clan mortals, on then two buildings. 柳鸣在发现一楼用餐吃饭之人都是各族凡人后,便上到了二楼。 In two buildings sit well after the table of street in a business area window, Liu Ming then wanted one bottle well-known „Azure Bamboo” spirit liquor. 在二楼靠街面窗口的桌子坐定后,柳鸣便要了一瓶闻名遐迩的“青竹”灵酒。 ...... …… Is holding appreciatively being filled with „Azure Bamboo” the small wine class, sees only in the cup the spirit liquor viscous light greenish blue. Can a Wendao light fragrance, not obvious Spiritual Qi then in all directions dissipate by far along with the fragrance. 把玩着盛满“青竹”的小酒杯,只见杯中灵酒粘稠淡青。远远便可闻道一股淡淡的馨香,一股并不明显的灵气便随着香味四处逸散开来。 Liu Ming downward occupies a commanding position to look at anything from the window, an absent-minded sluggish appearance. 柳鸣则从窗户往下居高临下望着什么,一副心不在焉的懒散样子。 At this time downstairs has transmitted the sound of footsteps and an old little in a soft voice conversation words sound. 这时楼下传来了脚步声和一老一少轻声交谈的话语声。 „Thump thump” going upstairs sound, clear transmitting. “噔噔”的上楼声音,清晰的传来。 long time, facial features are not skinny, the skin color wax yellow yellow robe old man and a body are petite, but flesh quite white and tender, yellow-robed girl of five senses as if Shang Dai naivete, appeared in the stairway place light and lively. 不多时,一名面容枯瘦,肤色蜡黄的黄袍老者和一名身躯娇小,但是肌肤颇为白嫩,五官轻灵似乎尚带一丝稚气的黄衫少女,在楼梯口处出现。 aura that sends out from them, impressively is also two cultivator. 从他们身上散发的气息来看,赫然也是两名修炼者。 Liu Ming's mental power sweeps quietly, on general idea discovered that yellow-robed girl should be Intermediate Stage Spirit Apostle cultivation base, but nearby old man desirably has actually pulled down aura, should the magical power not weak appearance. 柳鸣精神力悄然一扫,就大概发现黄衫少女应该是灵徒中期的修为,而一旁的老者却刻意压低了气息,应该法力不会不弱的样子。 girl seems like, only then 15-16 years old age, actually worry and anxious color of face, before the old man arrives at a table shoulder to shoulder sit down, after has not eaten and drunk several meals, stopped chopsticks motionless, as if had the concern in the appearance of body. 少女看似只有十五六岁的年纪,却一脸的担忧和焦虑之色,与老者并肩来到一处桌前坐下,没有吃喝几口饭菜后,就都停筷不动了,似乎均有心事在身的样子。 „Grandfather! Passed this many days, does not have their news, in the inn indeed hasn't left behind any clue?” yellow-robed girl suddenly said to that old man. “祖父！都已过去这许多日子了,还是没有他们的消息,客栈之中的确没有留下任何线索吗？”黄衫少女忽然对那老者说道。 „Ling'er, this place fish snake is promiscuous, big or medium influence numerous, before the matter has not clarified, leaves worries, their several people after all are also Liquid Condensing Stage cultivation base, is not first time comes this Valley Southern City to that Crystal Valley purchase resources.” The old men is a brow wrinkle, vision all around sweep first, had not discovered after some people note their talk, expression one loose said in a low voice. “铃儿,此地鱼蛇混杂,大小势力众多,在事情未弄清楚之前,也别太着急,他们几人毕竟也是凝液期修为,也已不是第一次来这谷南城向那晶谷采购资源了。”老者先是眉头一皱,目光四下一扫,并未发现有人注意到他们二人的谈话后,才神色一松的低声说道。 „Can they not move in that inn?” yellow-robed girl not willingly asking, the sound but obviously seemed to be small. “那他们会不会并未入住那家客栈？”黄衫少女似乎并不甘心的问道,声音但明显小了许多。 „This is unlikely actually. When they before every time came this Valley Southern City to make the transaction, temporarily resides in this ‚town Yuan’ inn, knew well with the inn boss, the white Hao disposition was unusual, the manner was steady, in has not had under the special circumstance, will not move in the strange inn easily.” After the old men have hesitated the moment, in a low voice replied. “这倒是不太可能。他们以前每一次来这谷南城做交易时,均是暂住在这‘镇元’客栈的,与客栈老板也是熟识,白昊性格异常,为人稳重,在未发生特殊情形之下,不太会轻易入住陌生客栈的。”老者沉吟了片刻后,才低声回答道。 „Actually they when were discovered to be missing, can be these Spirit Stones that because carries, by plotting to murder of person tempted to rob by sight of wealth.” girl also asked that the expression was somewhat rapid, sound micro high several points. “那他们究竟何时被发现失踪的,会不会是因为身上携带的那些灵石,被人见财起意的谋害了。”少女又问道,语气有些急促,声音又微高了几分。 „After the past they came this Valley Southern City, every month met regular transmit the message to be safe to the Inner Sect report, was only nine months ago, Inner Sect sent them after urgently needed one batch of resources came this Valley Southern City to purchase, again did not have the news to feed. Therefore Inner Sect sends me to come to investigate. Whether is really the matter that because the Spirit Stones reason has, did not say. After all this kind of matter in the main island is not strange, if is really so, was not good to trace. No matter what, we currently speaking, do not have the clue as before, returns to Inner Sect to need further consideration first again.” When the old men spoke of here, sighed slightly. “以往他们来这谷南城后,每月均会定期传讯向宗内报平安,只是九个月前,宗内因急需一批资源而派他们来这谷南城采购后,却一直再没消息传回。故而宗内才派我前来探查的。是否真是因为灵石缘故出的事情,却不太好说了。毕竟此类事情在本岛是毫不稀奇的,若真是如此,就更加的不好追查了。不管怎么说,我们目前来看,依旧毫无头绪,还是先回宗内再从长计议吧。”老者说到这里时,微微叹息了一声。 „ Like this said that can only return to Inner Sect to try to find other solutions really first again. „ yellow-robed girl muttered said that disappointed expression completely revealed on the face. “这样说,真的只能先回宗内再想其他办法了。“黄衫少女喃喃说道失望表情尽显脸上。 Two people said that has eaten some meals in a hurry, then in light of this departed. 二人说罢,匆匆吃了些饭菜,便就此离去了。 Nine months ago is missing in Valley Southern City, is comes this to the Crystal Valley purchase resources! And two alliance do Deacon lose the contact the time to be almost the same? 九个月前在谷南城中失踪,也是来此向晶谷采购资源！岂不是和两位联盟执事失去联系的时间相差无几吗？ Liu Ming's mental power is how formidable, but is assigned away from the capital slightly, then listens to this dialog in the ear. 柳鸣精神力何其强大,只是稍一外放,便将这一幕对话听在耳中。 But the news that spreads made in his heart start not the small vibration! 而从中传出的消息却让其心中掀起了不小的震动！ Cannot think that has no interest to insert Liu Liu to create shade, yesterday in one got down to have achieved nothing all day, nowadays in this restaurant, under the cause coincidence obtained a such news. 想不到无心插柳柳成荫,昨日里一整天下来一无所获,现如今却在这酒楼里,因缘巧合下得到了如此的一消息。 This makes his spirit inspire! 这让他精神一振！ Immediately Liu Ming has put down in the hand wine class, standing up of staying calm and collected, walked to the stairway. RS 当即柳鸣放下了手中酒杯,不动声色的站起身来,也向楼梯口走了过去。RS
