Azure Inch Mountain have several ten thousand li (0.5 km) vast and great, though enters this mountain cultivator foot have several thousand, but actually such as the stone throws the sea, the least bit spray cannot raise. 青寸山有数万里广大,虽则入此山的修士足有数千之多,但却如石投大海,半点浪花也掀不起来。 When Zhang Yan this group of toward Nine Heads Peak goes, at first can also see few says escape light, after good half day, was actually half person's shadow cannot see. 张衍这一行人往九头峰去时,起初还能见到寥寥几道遁光,行了半日之后,却是半个人影也见不到了。 On Nine Heads Peak has nine to rise steeply , but the male towering precipice, then can see by far, high crown daoist then said with a smile: „Nine mountain its numbers are nine, now I and others also precisely nine people, Yu Yi today fate in me on and others?” 九头峰上有九座壁立而起而雄峻山岩,远远便能望见,有一高冠道人便笑着说道:“九头山其数为九,如今我等也正是九人,岂不是喻义今日运数在我等身上？” This saying hears Bao Dingheng to break into a hearty laugh, said: „Fellow Daoist Gao wonderful word.” 这话听得包定衡朗声一笑,道:“高道友妙言。” The people fly to escape fast rapid quick, by near noontime minute, then to this mountain ridge, stood firm in a Gaoyan finally. 众人飞遁之速迅快,到了近午时分,便到了这座山岭之中,最后在一处高岩上站定。 At this time, in the people had over the face wind and frost humpbacked old man in this precipice several steps, to looking around several, saw the surrounding Green ivy weed to drill from the crevice, from time to time several kidding around apes and monkeys hung mountain vine old dry to sway on back and forth, satisfaction nodded, said: „Here is good.” 这时,众人之中有一个满面风霜的驼背老者在这山岩上走了几步,又向四处看了几眼,见周围青藤杂草自石缝中钻出,时而有几只嬉闹猿猴挂着山藤老枯在上来回晃荡,不由满意点头,道:“此处甚好。” He behind a burden will loosen, took a slate to come out, took an incense holder above, full was the hand of dry pleat gathers together upward, when let loose again, this fragrance has then selected, emitted one straight and on white smoke. 他将背后一只包袱解下,从中取了一只石盘出来,又拿了一根香插在其上,满是枯褶的手往上一拢,再放开时,这香便已点起,冒出了一道笔直而上的白烟。 This smoke like the essence, then the intermittent mountain breeze comes, is entirely still. 此烟有如实质,便是阵阵山风过来,也是纹丝不动。 When Zhang Yan arrives in these people originally, then has been paying attention to this person. 张衍自来到这几人中时,便一直在留意此人。 Previously listened to Bao Dingheng saying that said that this artificial „Shi Gong”, looked when he flew to escape then used is magical tool knows that this person was Bright Qi cultivation base . Moreover the aura was obscure, heterogeneous impure, obviously was not the Profound Sect great sect family background, but this person obviously was not timid before the people. 先前听包定衡所言,称这人为“石公”,看他飞遁时用得是法器便知道这人不过是明气修为,而且气息晦涩,驳杂不纯,显然不是玄门大派出身,但此人在众人面前却是一点也不显怯弱。 Moreover what especially strange is, this is not always able to compare with Profound Light Realm cultivators because of cultivation base, therefore often must stop to recuperate the breath and pulse in the journey, several other people not only do not have the objection, instead also unintentional protects him in the middle, probably he extremely important person is ordinary. 而且尤为奇异的是,此老因修为无法与玄光修士相比,因此在路途上每每要停下调理气脉,另几人非但对此没有异议,反而还有意无意把他护在中间,好像是他极为重要的人一般。 Do not look is a Bao Dingheng guide the people vanguard, as long as this always has an action to perform, he will reveal the color of inquiry inquisition. 别看是包定衡一路引着众人前行,但凡此老有所动作,他都会露出询问探究之色。 This moment Zhang Yan saw his action, has been able to affirm, this old has secret technique surely, may look for that One Spirit Mushroom whereabouts! 此刻张衍见了他这番举动,已经能够肯定,此老定是身怀秘法,可找寻那一气芝的下落！ No wonder Bao Dingheng seemingly was previously confident, even if were many two people also and does not care, wants to come also to have this old reason. 难怪包定衡先前看起来信心十足,哪怕多了两人也并不在意,想来也是有此老的缘故在内。 Shi Gong narrows the eye to look at this wisp of white smoke, but also moved under a that once for a while the slate, once in a while will raise the head to have a look at the weather. 石公眯着眼睛看着这缕白烟,还时不时挪动了一下那底下石盘,每隔一段时间又会抬头看看天色。 This treats is a double-hour, but the surroundings unexpectedly no one shows the anxious impatient look, that does Feng He is both eyes flicker to look at that white smoke, the finger non-stop buckling own back of the hand, in the look anticipated faintly. 这一待便是一个时辰,但是周围竟无一人露出焦急不耐烦的神色来,那方阖更是双目一瞬不瞬看着那道白烟,手指不停扣着自己的手背,神色中隐隐有所期待。 Although Ke Xiujun is the puzzled its meaning, but she belongs after this pedestrian newcomer, is the younger generation, Bao Dingheng did not say, she is not good to ask, actually also guessed correctly this old function indistinctly, flickers looks. 柯秀君虽是不解其意,但是她在这行人中属于后来者,又是晚辈,包定衡不说,她也不好发问,却也隐约猜到了此老的作用,也是一瞬不瞬地看着。 Also passed a double-hour, in both eyes of stone Xiangong that muddy lightens together none suddenly, this white smoke got up changed slightly, resembling was such as is towed to flutter generally to the south. 又过了一个时辰,石贤公那浑浊的双目之中突然闪出一道精光,这白烟起了微微变化,似是如被人牵引一般向南方飘去。 Feng He is most excited, is hurried saying: „Is Shi Gong,......” 方阖最为激动,急忙上来道:“石公,是不是……” Shi Gong looked at his one eyes lightly, said solemnly: „Does not use anxiously, waits again.” 石公淡淡看了他一眼,沉声道:“不用急,再等等。” Feng He hurriedly said: „Is is.” 方阖忙道:“是是是。” Also after is half double-hour, actually sees that white smoke fiercely by the person pulls, subsequently flutters to the west, the Shi Gong look moves, said excitedly: „Found! The air/Qi of so big Wood Spirit, feared that is this medicine mushroom more than 15 numbers.” 又是半个时辰之后,却见那道白烟似是被人猛的一扯,继而向西面飘去,石公神色一动,激动道:“找到了！如此大的木灵之气,怕是这药芝不下十五之数。” One hear of this words, the people of presence are the facial expression are encouraged, Bao Dingheng is actually calmest, comes up to this to bow old, consults saying: „May I ask Shi Gong, how I and others next should?” 一听此言,在场之人都是神情振奋,包定衡却是其中最为沉稳的一个,上来对着此老一稽首,请教道:“敢问石公,我等下一步该如何？” Shi Gong caressed under the jaw scattered white beard, pondered over a while, looked at that white smoke, said: „Waits again!” 石公抚了抚颌下稀稀落落的白须,思忖了一会儿,又看了看那道白烟,道:“再等！” The people look at each other in blank dismay, Feng He is wanting to say anything anxiously, Shi Gong actually cast aside his one eyes, said leisurely: „medicine mushroom sees Yang, then evades, sees Yin, then shrinks, daily hides in in Mugen, only then at a time of the third branch Shi Zhou night intersection, will emerge as the times require to absorb Spiritual Qi, for a while cannot return to go, seizes to create difficulties for somebody at this time is safest, otherwise, hehe, is not I looks down on Fellow Daoists, feared that is your one is not necessarily able to seize.” 众人面面相觑,方阖更是急着想要说什么,石公却撇了他一眼,悠悠道:“药芝见阳则避,见阴则缩,日日藏于木根之中,只有在寅时昼夜相交之际,才会破土而出吸纳灵气,一时回不得去,是以此时捉拿方是最为稳妥,否则,呵呵,不是我小瞧诸位道友,怕是你们连一个都未必能捉得住。” Bao Dingheng nods, said: „Listens to the arrangement of Shi Gong.” 包定衡点了点头,道:“就听石公的安排。” Zhang Yan listened to this word, was actually secret at heart. He wants to have a look actually, according to this old way, can actually several tenths assurances. 张衍听了此言,却是暗暗记在了心里。他倒是想看看,按照此老的方式,究竟能有几成把握。 He looked at that slate and above that curving white smoke, in the heart ponders saying: „Does not know that this thing is whether useful to that Mushroom Ancestor, when has the opportunity can the side rap actually.” 他又看了看那只石盘和上面那弯曲的白烟,心中忖道:“也不知此物是否对那芝祖有用,有机会时倒是可以旁侧敲击一番。” At this time from 3 to 5 a.m still early, listened to the word of Bao Dingheng, all people on the scene disperses separately, sought place of the keeping out wind and rain to sit in meditation respectively. 此时距离寅时尚早,听了包定衡之言,在场诸人都是分头散开,各自寻了一处遮风避雨之处打坐去了。 Until 1 to 3 a.m., Shi Gong saw that white smoke to vibrate suddenly, was actually the complexion changes, lifted the slate, said: „Daoist Priest Bao, along with the old man comes in a big hurry.” 直至丑时时分,石公突然见那白烟抖动了起来,却是脸色一变,将石盘抬起,道:“包道长,快快随老夫来。” Bao Dingheng hearing this one startled, is busy at letting loose escape light, other all people were also alarmed, does not need to tell, soars, this Shi Gong had magical tool to be just about sky over soaring, actually saw have several to say escape light in falling into the front forest, his cheek one tight. 包定衡闻言一惊,忙把遁光放开,其余诸人也被惊动,不待吩咐,都是腾空而起,这石公起了法器正要飞腾上空,却见有数道遁光在落入前方林中,他不由面皮一紧。 Feng He loses one's voice Cry out in surprise saying: „It is not good, some people first steps.” 方阖失声惊呼道:“不好,有人抢先一步。” He turns head to drink to ask sternly: „Shi Gong, you did not say besides you also no one understood again searches for the method of medicine mushroom?” 他扭头厉声喝问道:“石公,你不是说除你之外再也无人懂得搜寻药芝之法么？” The Shi Gong surface sinks like the water, was only snort/hum one. 石公面沉如水,只是哼了一声。 Bao Dingheng is actually unhurried, as soon as he suspends the sleeve, said: „Junior Brother Fang you talked nonsense anything, Shi Gong skill world alone. Although this Nine Heads Peak vast and great, but also many cultivator come this search, feared that is fortunately.” 包定衡倒是不慌,他一摆袖子,道:“方师弟你胡说什么,石公的本事天下独一份。这九头峰虽然广大,但想必也有不少修士来此搜寻,怕是凑巧罢了。” The Feng He strange voice and strange manner said: „Yes, this Nine Heads Peak is so big, I and others had not previously seen one person, but why actually hits at present?” 方阖怪声怪气说道:“是啊,这九头峰如此大,我等先前未曾见过一人,可为何眼下却偏偏撞到了呢？” Bao Dingheng listened to this saying, is a brow wrinkle, Shi Gong stands there is actually unemotional, did not speak the argument. 包定衡听了这话,也是眉头一皱,石公站在那里却是面无表情,也不出言辩解。 Zhang Yan looked at front several, said with a smile: „I actually think that pedestrian comes this fortunately, please look.” He referred to the front, said: „These escape light rises are uncertain, do not have a clue, but bumps into carelessly, if looked for that medicine mushroom hiding place seriously, covered the whereabouts continually without enough time, where can so on a grand scale?” 张衍看了前方几眼,却是笑着说道:“我却以为那行人是凑巧来此,诸位请看。”他指了指前方,道:“那些个遁光起落不定,茫无头绪,只是胡乱瞎闯罢了,若是当真找准了那药芝藏身之所,连掩盖行迹都来不及,哪里会如此大张旗鼓？” Bao Dingheng before one's eyes one bright, turns the head to look at Zhang Yan, approves: „Fellow Daoist Li said well.” 包定衡眼前一亮,转过头来看着张衍,赞同道:“李道友说得不错。” The people listened to this saying, thought that Zhang Yan said is reasonable, in abundance the nod name is, the thoughts of hanging put down a point slightly. 众人听了这话,也觉得张衍说得有道理,纷纷点头称是,悬起的心思稍稍放下了一点。 That Shi Gong also threw one to come, to his nodded slightly. 那石公也是投了一眼过来,对他微微点头。 Feng He hey, said: „In view of this, I and others needed fast goes to expel this group of people, so as to avoid alarmed medicine mushroom.” 方阖嘿了一声,道:“既如此,我等需速速去把这群人赶跑,免得惊动了药芝。” Bao Dingheng looked at one, said with a sneer: „Does not need me and others to look, they have come.” 包定衡看了一眼,冷笑道:“不用我等去找,他们已是来了。” Really, in the sky has escape light together to come toward here, one stopped to this group in front, revealed that cultivator of short fine beard wide shoulder comes, this person opens the mouth then makes the big voice that night/lodge bird is startled to fly, said: „Who I said am, originally was Senior Brother Bao and Junior Brother Fang, precisely unfortunately, this place I and several Fellow Daoist to one step, had first selected, you and others toward elsewhere.” 果然,天空中有一道遁光往此处而来,到了这一行人面前一停,显露出一个短髯宽肩的修士来,此人开口便是令宿鸟惊飞的大嗓门,道:“我道是谁,原来是包师兄和方师弟,正是不巧啊,此地我和几位同道先到一步,已是圈定了下来,你等还是往别处去吧。” Bao Dingheng has not opened the mouth, Feng He had actually jumped, points at this person to scold: „Lan Yuchun, originally your abandoned disciple, snort/hum, I and others had first arrived at this place, must roll is also you and others went away!” 包定衡还未开口,方阖却已经跳了出来,指着此人骂道:“兰遇春,原来你这个弃徒,哼,我等早已先到了此地,要滚也是你等滚开！” Lan Yuchun laughs, said: „Feng He, you worry, is it possible that have you verified here to have medicine mushroom to be inadequate?” 兰遇春哈哈大笑,道:“方阖,你这么着急,莫非你已查明此处有药芝不成？” Listened to this language, the Feng He sound of talking to stagnate. 听了此语,方阖语声不由一滞。 Lan Yuchun said a joke, must know this medicine mushroom to be extremely difficult to seek, can only hit the luck seriously, but sees the Feng He look at present, under his heart unavoidably doubt, secretly thought: „Does here have medicine mushroom not seriously?” 兰遇春原本只是说了句玩笑话,需知这药芝极难找寻,当真是只能撞运气,可眼下见了方阖神色,他心下不免狐疑,暗道:“莫此处当真有药芝？” Immediately his smile however, ponders to say secretly: „Manages his to do, in brief drives away them and that's the end.” 随即他又暗自哂然,忖道:“管他那么许多干什么,总之将他们赶走就是了。” He hehe said with a smile: „Senior Brother Bao, you, if must occupy this place, that then first comes and others to do with me, my Lan Yuchun is waiting for you in front! Has courage then comes!” 他嘿嘿笑道:“包师兄,你们若是非要占了此地,那便先来与我等做过一场,我兰遇春在前面等着你们！有胆便来！” After he said that also does not dare to remain, was busy at escape light toward going to the front forest goes, was converges his several companions obviously. 他说完之后,也是不敢多留,忙起了遁光往去前方林中而去,显是汇合他那几名同伴去了。 Feng He stamps the feet saying: „Doesn't Senior Brother, why leave behind him?” 方阖跺脚道:“师兄,为何不将他留下？” Bao Dingheng knits the brows, he looks at the space bright moonlight, said slowly: „Shi Gong, I and others, if begins in this, whether will be startled to walk medicine mushroom?” 包定衡皱了皱眉,他望了望天上明月,缓缓道:“石公,我等若是在此动手,是否会将药芝惊走？” Shi Gong hesitated the moment, sighed: „Daoist Priest Bao only has to try to struggle at present to struggle, the old man can look, these individual does not know how should seek for medicine mushroom, but rushes carelessly with the law of hearsay, if that One Spirit Mushroom received alarming seriously, toward underground is dormant, feared that waited for on a fortnight is also not necessarily able again.” 石公沉吟了片刻,叹道:“包道长眼下唯有试着争上一争了,老夫看得出来,这些个人根本不知该如何找寻药芝,只是凭着道听途说之法胡乱闯动,若是那一气芝当真受了惊扰,往地下蛰伏,怕是再等上个十天半月也未必会出来了。” Bao Dingheng listened to these words, in the heart then to have the resolution, in the eye had the cold glow to flash through, said: „It seems like only has these people all except for putting to settle, that Lan Yuchun itself is my Sect abandons the disciple, my Bao Dingheng then must clean up the gateway today, can Fellow Daoists be willing to help me?” 包定衡听了这番话,心中便有了决断,眼中有寒芒闪过,道:“看来唯有将这些人尽数除了放能了事,那兰遇春本就是我派弃徒,我包定衡今日便要清理门户了,诸位道友可愿助我？” The side that Feng He complies with is quick, said: „I naturally follow Senior Brother.” Also observed the situation, said: „?” 方阖答应的极快,道:“我自然是跟随师兄的。”又环视了一圈,道:“诸位呢？” Ke Xiujun said immediately: „Martial Uncle Bao said that anything is anything.” 柯秀君马上说道:“包师叔说什么就是什么。” The remaining four people somewhat are scruple, that high crown daoist leaves said: „Several of us not clear expensive/noble in sect gratitude and grudges, but had also once heard, although this Lan Yuchun is your Origin Yang Sect abandoned disciple, actually still in your sect Wu Feng Daoist Master regarded as important, kills this person to be able......” 剩下四人却有些迟疑,那高冠道人出言道:“我们几个并不清楚贵门中的恩怨,但也曾听闻过,这兰遇春虽是你们元阳派的弃徒,却仍得贵派中武锋真人看重,杀了此人会不会……” Bao Dingheng naturally can hear him to say a word not meaning completely, the Taro sound said: „Fellow Daoists worry This Poor Daoist also fully realized, Lan Yuchun this person does not use exhausted Fellow Daoists, is solved by This Poor Daoist personally can.” 包定衡自然听得出他言语中未尽之意,他朗声道:“诸位道友的顾虑贫道也深知,兰遇春此人不用劳烦诸位道友,由贫道亲手解决便可。” This saying, this remaining four people relax, each other looked at each other one, said with one voice: „I and others am willing to help Fellow Daoist helping hand.” 这话一出,这剩下四人都是松了一口气,彼此对视了一眼,齐声道:“我等愿助道友一臂之力。” Bao Dingheng nods, he shouted Ke Xiujun, told that she must nurse good Shi Gong, later, he turns the head to say to Zhang Yan: „Fellow Daoist Li, but also please defense, such as is see that outside some people run away, you cannot bleed off one person.” 包定衡点了点头,他把柯秀君喊了过来,吩咐她务必要看护好石公,随后,他又转过头来对着张衍说道:“李道友,还请你在外守御,如是见到有人逃遁,你切不可放走一人。” Zhang Yan knows that Bao Dingheng has not seen to act, did not feel relieved to him, by making this arrangement. 张衍知道包定衡并未见过自己出手,对他不太放心,是以做了这个安排。 However then does not elect him, this matter also needs some people to do, he shows a faint smile, immediately nodded to comply. 不过便是不选他,此事也需有人来做,他微微一笑,当即点头应了下来。 Bao Dingheng several words look, then drank one, getting the people to harness escape light, speeds along to go toward the front forest in combative. 包定衡几句话关照完毕,便喝了一声,领着众人驾起遁光,杀气腾腾往前方林中飞驰而去。 Zhang Yan was actually rides the wind the cloud top, the vision overlooked toward under. 张衍却是乘风上了云头,目光往下方俯视而来。 In that forest initial but actually also tranquil, is only the moment, actually sees escape light flashes randomly, sword glow unusual brightness dealings, upbraids repeatedly, obviously the intensity of battle. 那林中初始倒还平静,只是不出一刻,却见其中遁光乱闪,剑芒宝光往来,怒叱连声,显是正争斗的激烈。 At this time, he listened to a deafening sound suddenly, under that curtain of night seemed to be said surely brilliance such as the silver snake flashed randomly, only heard that Bao Dingheng that startled and angry sound spread, said: „Lan Yuchun, how will you have this sword plate in the hand?” 这时,他突然听一声震响,那夜幕之下似有千万道光华如银蛇乱闪,只闻包定衡那又惊又怒声音传出,道:“兰遇春,你怎么会有这剑盘在手？” Lan Yuchun that rampant sound also made a sound, „Bao Dingheng, you cannot think that I do have this one move? Past bestowing of your sword, I then want both capital and interest in ask for today! Suffers to death!” 兰遇春那嚣张的声音也响了起来,“包定衡,你想不到我有此一招吧？昔日你一剑之赐,今日我便要连本带利讨回来！受死吧！” Zhang Yan one hear of this saying, both eyes dodge, melts swiftly empties to escape, the whole body rises the potential of wind and cloud, then flushes away toward the under forest. 张衍一听这话,双目一闪,倏尔化空而遁,周身挟起风云之势,便往下方林中冲去。 ( to be continued ) (未完待续)
