------------------------- ------------------------- Outside Valley Southern City above more than ten li (0.5km) away Wasteland close neighbor jungle. 谷南城外十余里外的一处紧邻密林的荒地之上。 Looks, above Wasteland besides the smooth big or medium stone, is almost infertile. 一眼望去,荒地之上除了光溜溜的大小石头外,几乎寸草不生。 Liu Ming recited backwards from the end both hands, opens a both eyes looks at present ruined temple, the pupil micro. 柳鸣倒背双手,睁大双目看着眼前的一座破庙,瞳孔微缩。 In the Azure Bamboo restaurant from that city comes out, he then tags along after this grandfather and grandson to go out of town. 自那城中青竹酒楼出来,他便一路尾随这祖孙二人出城。 However after Liu Ming tracks this two people to enter this Wasteland, that old one little unexpectedly suddenly was missing. 然就在柳鸣跟踪此二人进入这荒地之后,那一老一少竟突然失踪了。 A Liu Ming's eyebrows wrinkle, mental power is releases slightly, investigates toward all around. 柳鸣眉头微微一皱,精神力便是释放出来,往四周探查起来。 However, by him now formidable mental power, the appearance that suddenly has not discovered. 然而,以他如今强大的精神力,竟然没有丝毫发现的样子。 However at this moment, Liu Ming only thinks that the eye blurs a while ago, nearby jungle of shadow from ruined temple[ stirs up] shoots, that shadow speed is extremely fast, in a twinkling, before arrived at his body, „Bang” a hit on him. 不过就在此刻,柳鸣只觉眼前一阵模糊,一道黑影从破庙一旁的密林中〖激〗射出来,那黑影速度极快,霎时间,就已来到了他身前“砰”的一声撞击在了他身上。 In this unexpected under strikes, then the extremely wild strengths fall in torrents to come, Liu Ming is inferior to against, even if fleshy body is tyrannical, withdrawing several steps that the body also trembles. 在这出其不意的一击之下,便是有一股极为狂暴的力量倾泻而来,柳鸣不及防下,纵然肉身强横,身子也是一颤的退后数步。 But this hits has not actually caused anything to injure to Liu Ming, after and technique urges, halting that the body sinks suddenly. 但这一撞却并未对柳鸣造成什么伤害,并法决一催后,身躯骤然一沉的站住了。 In a moment ago by the collision position, indistinctly had only been left behind an earth pit. 只在刚才被撞击位置,隐约留下了一个土坑。 Liu Ming two eyes narrows the eyes slightly, line of sight sweeps above the earth pit center shadow. 柳鸣双眼微微眯起,视线扫在土坑中心处的黑影之上。 The shadow is a python, it all over the body presents the swarthy color, seems is pieced together general by sections, on the scale of lip size glittering woods cold cloudy and cold rays of light. However in the eye does not have life-force, obviously is Puppet Beast. 黑影原来是一条巨蟒,其通体呈现黝黑之色,好似被一截截拼凑起来一般,碗口大小的鳞片上闪烁着森寒阴冷的光芒。然而眼中却毫无生机,显然是一只傀儡兽。 At this moment, slowly went out of a yellow robe old man and yellow-robed girl after the ruined temple. 就在此刻,从破庙之后缓缓走出了一位黄袍老者和一位黄衫少女。 That that in the restaurant meets to grandparent and grandchild! 正是酒楼之中所遇的那对祖孙！ The yellow-robed girl look is bad, stares above Liu Ming. 黄衫少女眼神不善,盯在柳鸣之上。 Although that yellow robe old man is calm, but in the heart actually slightly sinks, can block the sneak attack of this Puppet Beast to be somewhat accidental to this grey robe youth at present unexpectedly. 那黄袍老者虽一脸平静,但心中却微微一沉,对眼前这名灰袍青年竟然能拦下自己这傀儡兽的偷袭有些意外。 However this youth surface looked like was too young, lets appearance that the old man extremely has not been worried about. 不过这青年表面看起来委实太年轻了一些,让老者对此也并未太过担心的样子。 Opposite party cultivation base is limited, even if seems like fleshy body is more formidable, he should also sufficiently cope. 对方修为有限,纵然看似肉身强大一些,他应该也足以对付的。 looks at old man and girl battle formation, what Liu Ming unemotionally is only single-handed void one revolution, in the five fingers broadcasts a gas exploding sound sound immediately. 看着老者与少女的阵势,柳鸣面无表情的只是单手虚空一转,五指间顿时传来一声气体爆鸣的声音。 Liu Ming knows that at this time explained again anything is useless. 柳鸣知道这个时候再解释什么是没用的。 Did not say that the two are also the external people, first had the hostility after by oneself trace, definitely the heart, moreover their mouth person of missing relates with them obviously significantly, will definitely not spit any true words with the general method to oneself. 不说二者也是外来之人,被自己追踪后肯定心中先有了敌意,而且他们口中的失踪之人明显与他们关系匪浅,用一般方法肯定不会对自己吐什么真言。 At this time, he also can only resort to some thunder methods to be most effective. 这时候,他也只能动用些雷霆手段才最有效了。 Another side, the yellow robe old man does not want similarly with the meaning of Liu Ming idle talk, but sees his right hand secret technique to pinch, afterward to that python Puppet Beast one finger. 另一边,黄袍老者同样没有想和柳鸣废话之意,但见他右手法诀一掐而起,随后对着那巨蟒傀儡兽一指。 Python Puppet Beast face upwards immediately exudes one „hum” the sound, great tail in ground „bang” pounds , a body fuzziness, then once more changes into a shadow to clash to Liu Ming. at the same time, python body in space, has passed on a low stuffy sound immediately. 巨蟒傀儡兽顿时仰天发出一声“呜呜”的声音,巨尾在地上“轰”的一砸而下,身子一个模糊,便再次化为一道黑影对着柳鸣冲来。同时,蟒身子所过空间中,立即传出来一阵低闷的响声。 „Bang”! “轰”的一声！ Liu Ming formed one-handed seals, body suddenly has thick black Qi rolling to turn to well up, black Qi after top of the head turning round revolving, is at lightning speed condenses black flood dragon Dragon Phantom, but in the nearby airborne circles, clashes on suddenly, finally winding above the Liu Ming right arm. 柳鸣单手掐诀,身上忽然有浓浓的黑气滚滚翻涌出来,黑气在头顶滴溜溜一阵旋转之后,便是飞快凝聚成一条黑色蛟龙虚影,只是在附近空中一个盘旋,就忽然一冲而下,最后缠绕在柳鸣右臂之上。 Liu Ming cultivation Dragon Tiger Hell Method first layer! 正是柳鸣修炼的龙虎冥狱功第一层！ Liu Ming is without hesitation, the arm moves, a fist to rapidly[ stirs up] shoots python Puppet Beast that comes to pound. 柳鸣毫不迟疑,手臂一动,一拳对着急速〖激〗射而来的巨蟒傀儡兽一砸而出。 A Heaven-shaking, Earth-shattering bang! 一声惊天动地的巨响！ Afterward before seeing only the Liu Ming body, black light a big magnificence burst , in the space a more intense fluctuation passes on, flying upside down that the python trembles immediately, paid equal attention to suffer a relapse before the old man body has located. 随后只见柳鸣身前黑光大盛,空间中一股更为强烈的波动传出来,巨蟒当即一颤的倒飞出去,并重重落在了老者身前处。 When this python difficult when raises once more sets out, sees only the Liu Ming fist the place of falling, superficial scale already is pounded De'ao to go. 等此巨蟒艰难的再次扬首起身时,只见柳鸣拳头所落之处,表面鳞片已经被砸得凹进去了。 This makes the old man eye pupil shrink slightly, the eyelid cannot realize the earth movement. 这一幕让老者眼瞳微微一缩,眼皮不可察觉地动了一下。 Must know, this python Puppet Beast is not only Herculean, the body surface is by one hard exceptionally rare metal refinement, the hard degree already surmounted the ordinary fine iron. 要知道,他这只巨蟒傀儡兽不但力大无比,体表更是由一种坚硬异常的罕见金属炼制,坚硬程度早已超越普通精铁。 Actually so superficially by this grey robe youth injuring. 却如此轻描淡写地就被这灰袍青年给伤害到了。 The only explanation can only be present young people strength is really immeasurably deep, at is not may the enemy. 唯一的解释只能是眼前的年轻人实力实在深不可测,根本不是自己可敌的。 „This Fellow Daoist, your I do not have the enmity without the injustice, but also asked your excellency to stop first.” Yellow robe old man suddenly beckons with the hand to Liu Ming, hints him to stop. After all now Liu Ming, if again in python Puppet Beast comes on several fists, this Puppet Beast even if discarded. “这位道友,你我无冤无仇,还请阁下先住手。”黄袍老者忽然冲柳鸣摆摆手,示意其停下。毕竟现在柳鸣要是再在巨蟒傀儡兽来上几拳,这傀儡兽就算是报废了。 But this puppet python has Initial Stage Liquid Condensing strength, even if is on him also few heads, naturally absolutely does not give up so easily was ruined. 而这头傀儡巨蟒有凝液初期的实力,就算是他身上也没有几头的,自然万万舍不得这般轻易的被毁掉。 Liu Ming hearing this, Hehe smiles, receives after the fist returns, black Qi also one volume submerges[ body]. 柳鸣闻言,嘿嘿一笑,将拳头一收而回后,身上的黑气也一卷的没入〖体〗内。 That side the yellow robe old man also neatly formed hand seals, that python Puppet Beast instantaneously changes into black glow the rollback, falls in the old man hand, after rays of light is fuzzy, changed into a black sphere. 黄袍老者那边也是干脆利落地一掐诀,那条巨蟒傀儡兽瞬间化为一道黑芒的卷回,落在老者手中,光芒一阵模糊之后,就化为一颗黑色圆球了。 „May I ask this Fellow Daoist, is why the reason, tracks us hence?” The old men stare in Liu Ming ask slowly, the expression unconsciously somewhat is respectful and prudent, and clashes nearby yellow-robed girl to signal with the eyes quietly, making it leave some distances to retreat, in order to avoid affects by and confrontation of present person. “敢问这位道友,是因何缘故,一路跟踪我们至此？”老者盯在柳鸣缓缓问道,语气却不觉有几分恭谨,并悄悄冲旁边黄衫少女使了个眼色,让其向后退出一些距离,以免被和眼前之人的交锋波及到。 yellow-robed girl without demur immediately leaves several steps to go far away to retreat. 黄衫少女二话不说的立刻向后退出了数步远去。 „Your excellency do not misunderstand, but I heard you formerly to mention above that restaurant have the person of knowing well at the matter of Valley Southern City missing, I also had the person of understanding to be missing in this place, its time poured with very close, therefore wants you said the details to two understanding that not to know whether informed related one or two.” Liu Ming shows a faint smile to the old man, saying of showing neither approval nor disapproval. “阁下不要误会,只不过我无意间听闻你们先前在那酒楼之上说起有熟识之人在谷南城失踪之事,恰好我也有认识之人在此地失踪,其时间倒与你们所说的十分接近,故而就想向二位了解下详情,不知可否告知相关一二。”柳鸣冲着老者微微一笑,不置可否的说道。 The yellow robe old man listened to this saying, the complexion slightly changes, cannot help but looked back to stare nearby girl one. But after yellow-robed girl listened, is in the heart trembles, the knowledge was formerly in the restaurant said that fell in the person with high aspirations ear unexpectedly, immediately bowed the head, does not dare to speak any words again. 黄袍老者听了这话,脸色微微一变,不禁回首瞪了一旁少女一眼。而黄衫少女听了后,更是心中微颤,才知是自己先前酒楼上所言,竟真落在了有心人耳中了,当即低首下去,根本不敢再说任何话语。 At this time, the old man lightly coughs start to talk replied: „Since Fellow Daoist tracks this, thinks that regarding this exerts certainly its utmost, below did not say that is not good. This matter does not need to keep secret anything to the bystander in any case. Fellow Daoist wants to ask that the old man can one by one consider actually.” 此时,老者则轻咳一声的开口回道:“既然道友跟踪到此,想必对此一定势在必得,在下不说也不行了。反正此事无需向外人保密什么。道友想问,老夫倒是可以一一相告的。” „Is very good. You do not need to be worried about anything, I asked the matter, will depart. Fellow Daoist then please in detail say the matter of person of that missing.” Liu Ming sees the appearance that this yellow robe old man so is tactful, expression slow asking. “很好。你们也不必担心什么,我问完事情,自会离去的。道友便请详细说说那失踪之人的事情吧。”柳鸣见这位黄袍老者这般识趣的样子,神色一缓的问道。 After the old men cough lightly, can only 1510 narrated: „Comes from Turtle Yuan Island south small Sect cultivator below and granddaughter actually, Sect in the south is also known. my Sect takes refining to sell Puppet Beast to live. Nine months ago, was dispatched Valley Southern City below my son and several other people by Inner Sect, planned that purchases some attribute crystals to go back to make puppet to that Crystal Valley. This batch of resources are the my Sect urgently needed thing, my son are also the discrete people, completed later must not stay in Valley Southern City. The matter of similar business resources, my son is not a novice, the intercourse traveling schedule certainly not over three months. But has not expected this half year not to return, before did not have the slight news to feed . The old men then have no other choice but to come this Valley Southern City to trace one or two personally.” 老者轻咳一声后,只能1510的讲述起来:“在下和孙女其实是来自鳖元岛南部一个小宗门的修炼者,宗门在南方也算是小有名气。本宗以炼制出售傀儡兽为生。只是九个月前,在下犬子和另外几人被宗内派往谷南城,打算向那晶谷购置一些属性晶体回去做傀儡之用。这批资源乃本宗急需之物,犬子也是谨慎之人,办妥之后必不会在谷南城中多停留的。况且类似买卖资源之事,犬子也并非新手,往来行程绝决计不会超过三个月的。但未曾料到这次出发半年还未返回,之前更无丝毫消息传回。老夫这才不得已亲自来这谷南城追查一二的。” „, What can you once inquire? Formerly listened to the Fellow Daoist tone in the restaurant, but planned to leave Valley Southern City in light of this.” Liu Ming light and asked. “哦,你们可曾打听出了什么？先前在酒楼之中听道友口气,可是打算就此离开谷南城的。”柳鸣淡淡的又问道。 „Old man seeks my son the inn, only knows it after entering the inn, then has not come out. By my son Initial Stage Liquid Condensing cultivation base, so has been missing unexpectedly silently, therefore the old man then thinks this matter fishy, suspected that is related with certain big influences, even possibly involves Crystal Transforming Stage Expert. But such Expert, how is also old man respective Sect can provoke. At present also can only return to Inner Sect to need further consideration with granddaughter first again.” Old man quite somewhat helpless replied. “老夫寻到犬子所住客栈,只知其在进入客栈内后,便未曾出来过了。以犬子凝液初期的修为,竟这般无声无息的失踪了,故而老夫便觉此事蹊跷,怀疑与某些大势力有关,甚至可能牵涉到化晶期强者。而此等强者,又怎是老夫所属宗门能够招惹的。眼下也只能同孙女先返回宗内再从长计议了。”老者颇有些无奈的回道。 „so that's how it is. However intent from the Fellow Daoist words looked that coming this Valley Southern City time not to be short. Can once have other clue discoveries?” After Liu Ming hear, slightly after a consideration, then also asked. “原来如此。不过从道友话中之意看,来这谷南城时间也不短了。可曾有其他线索发现？”柳鸣听完后,略一思量后,接着又问道。 „ Actually the old man is in the city these days, learned from some old knowledge places, in them some people are also missing in this Valley Southern City, and mostly comes the person of this place purchase. But the missing people are Liquid Condensing Stage mature cultivator. “其实老夫在城中这段时间,从一些旧识处得知,他们之中也有人在这谷南城中失踪,且大都是来此地采购之人。而失踪者都是凝液期的壮年修士。 For this reason, the old man decides to leave this city immediately. ” After old man hesitation moment, then replied, expression at the same time somewhat is then low-spirited. 正因如此,老夫才决定立即离开此城的。”老者沉吟片刻过后,便接着回道,神色同时有些黯然。 So frequent has Liquid Condensing Stage maturity cultivator to be missing, and purchases when this Valley Southern City! 如此频繁的有凝液期壮年修士失踪,且都是在这谷南城中采购之时！ The Liu Ming hear, after the vision flashes through, in the heart has guessed faintly. 柳鸣听罢,目光微闪过后,心中隐隐有所猜测了。 But in his surface surprising color has not revealed slightly, saying that but nods to the old man: „Thus and such and such, that then many thanks Fellow Daoist.” 但他面上丝毫异色未露,只是冲老者点点头的说道:“如此这般,那便多谢道友了。” The next quarter, sees only grey shade to dodge, Liu Ming stretches across several feet long-distance range unexpectedly directly, a fuzzy appearance behind yellow-robed girl, and „”, has patted a palm on his shoulder, again after body in a flash, transforms several afterimage returns the original place. 下一刻,只见灰影一闪,柳鸣竟然直接横跨数丈远距离,一个模糊的出现在了黄衫少女背后处,并且“啪”的一声,在其肩头上轻拍了一掌,再身躯一晃后,就幻化出数道残影的的重新回到原来之处。 Entire process electric light flint, old man, even if roars, stimulates to movement the python puppet to stop once more on the way, actually threw Liu Ming afterimage nothing more, simply has not moistened to the Liu Ming's body half minute. 整个过程电光火石,老者纵然一声怒吼的,再次催动巨蟒傀儡在途中阻拦,却只是扑到了柳鸣所化的一道残影而已,根本没有沾到柳鸣身躯半分。 „What hands and feet your did in the end move on Ling?” The old men lift the hand, in throwing a white sphere, after transforming a white great hawk puppet, to Liu Ming wicked saying. “你到底在玲儿身上动了什么手脚？”老者一抬手,在扔出一只白色圆球,幻化出一只白色巨鹰傀儡后,冲柳鸣恶狠狠的说道。 But yellow-robed girl also complexion „”, became abnormally pale, if by any chance it carefully inspected itself again[ body] in situation, simply has not actually discovered any exceptionally. 而黄衫少女也面色“唰”的一下,变得异常苍白了,但等其再仔细检查自己〖体〗内情形时,却根本没有发现任何异常。 „Fellow Daoist does not need to be startled! this Liu leaves behind Imprint nothing more on this small girl, if discovered that Fellow Daoist said that has what falseness, good to find Fellow Daoist to confirm one or two once more. Fellow Daoist felt relieved, this Imprint three days later then voluntarily will dissipate, Fellow Daoist remembers the words that anything needs to supplement now.” Liu Ming both hands recited backwards from the end, unhurriedly saying. “道友不必惊慌！柳某只是在这小丫头身上留下一个印记而已,若是发现道友所说有何虚假,好能再次找到道友确认一二罢了。道友放心,这个印记三天之后便会自行消散,或者,道友现在就想起什么需要补充的话了。”柳鸣双手倒背,不慌不忙的说道。 „Old man knows, already all told your excellency.” Old man two hands makes a fist, whole face anger is staring at Liu Ming. “老夫所知道的,已经全告诉阁下了。”老者两手握拳,满脸怒意的盯着柳鸣。 „If so, naturally it would be the best. However if your excellency thinks of any matter again, may arrive at the Valley Southern City ocean waves inn to come me.” “若是这般,自然最好不过了。不过阁下若再想到什么事情,可到谷南城碧波客栈来我。” Liu Ming said that formed one-handed seals, under foot raises one group of dark clouds, directly soars Valley Southern City to be at the direction[ stirs up] shot. 柳鸣说罢,单手掐诀,足下升起一团黑云,直奔谷南城所在的方向〖激〗射而去了。 After Liu Ming walks, the yellow robe old man gets hold of the double fist slowly a loosen to open. 等柳鸣走后,黄袍老者握紧双拳才缓缓一松而开。 „Grandfather, how should we do now?” yellow-robed girl looks up the direction that Liu Ming is departing, the expression somewhat startled appearance. “祖父,现在我们该怎么做？”黄衫少女抬头望着柳鸣离去的方向,神色有几分惊慌的样子。 „Has not thought that now this line has not inquired your father and the others the news. Actually annoys so a fierce fellow. Your I went to nearby black wind foothold to treat first on the 3rd, having a look at the situation to say again. Waits on the road, I have a look first whether to wipe out this person below Imprint to say again.” After old man complexion gloomy and uncertain a while, stamps full said to yellow-robed girl. “没想到如今这一行尚未打探到你父亲等人的消息。却又惹出这般一名厉害家伙。你我先去附近的黑风据点待上三日,看看情形再说。等在路上,我先看看能否拔除此人所下的印记再说。”老者脸色阴晴不定的一会儿后,才一跺足的冲黄衫少女说道。 Afterward the old man opened that yellow-robed girl shoulder clothing, discovered impressively black rune marked inscription seal in the girl shoulder, cannot help but snort|hum. 随后老者将那黄衫少女肩头衣衫揭开,赫然发现一个黑色符文标记正铭印在少女肩头,不禁哼了一声。 „Grandfather, this person of strength really so was just fearful, makes your elder generation not dare with it to conflict unexpectedly directly.” yellow-robed beautiful girl sees this, then pearly white teeth bites, some asking bitterly. “祖父,刚刚这人实力真这般可怕吗,竟然让你老人家也不敢与之正面冲突。”黄衫秀丽少女见此,则贝齿一咬,有些恨恨的问道。 „This person should be Body Cultivator, and absolutely is in Expert, just struck the appearance that he seems has not tried. It seems like this Turtle Yuan Island must have important matter to occur.” The old man complexion becomes somewhat dignified, said that portable under the yellow-robed girl same foot was living going far away of cloud.( To be continued “此人应是一名体修,且绝对是之中的强者,刚刚一击他好似还未尽全力的样子。看来这鳖元岛似要有大事发生了。”老者脸色变得有些凝重,说罢便携着黄衫少女化同样足下生云的远去了。（未完待续
