In the Square Stage station southeastern Xiang/towards some place sentry post, inside and outside gathers round more than 20 cultivator at this moment, is checking looks at under a leadership of capable cultivator everywhere carefully. 方台驻地东南方向某处岗哨之中,此刻里外围着二十余名修士,在一名干练修士的带领之下正四处仔细查看着。 At this time some people said: „Profound Corrector came.” 这时有人言道:“玄正来了。” The people look up, speeds along several escaping light on every day/sees the sky, several breath then to the vicinity, then fall to decide, Zhang Yu walks from inside , is follows Wan Ming and Shi Yue two people. 众人抬头一看,就见天边飞驰来数道遁光,几个呼吸便至近处,而后落定下来,张御自里走了出来,身后则是跟着万明和时悦二人。 That capable cultivator welcomed busily, is polite to say respectfully: „Profound Corrector.” 那名干练修士忙是迎了上来,恭敬执礼道:“玄正。” Zhang Yu looked at a sentry post, said: „Matter I had known, now situation how?” 张御看了一眼岗哨,道:“事情我已经知道了,现在情形如何？” That cultivator said: „Reported Profound Corrector, we had not found these six disciple temporarily, surroundings also does not have any trace, they seemed like disappeared baseless,” he hesitant, „perhaps was also they departs.” 那修士言道:“禀玄正,我们暂时还未找到这六名弟子,周围也没有什么痕迹,他们好像是凭空消失了,”他犹豫了一下,“也或许是他们自行离去的。” Shi Yue at this time opens the mouth and says: „Profound Corrector, the sentry post arranges me and fellow daoist Wen Liang has the participation, everyone does not meet in the same direction, a person is responsible for guarding the colored glaze jade, even if on the wilderness some people with illusory confusing technique, were impossible simultaneously by planning, will instead alert.” 时悦这时开口道:“玄正,岗哨布置我和温良道友都有参与,每一个人都不会面朝同一个方向,还有一个人只是负责看守琉璃玉,即便荒原上有人用幻惑之术,也不可能同时遭了算计,反会有所警醒。” Zhang Yu said: „We go to have a look.” He takes a step immediately, walks into toward the sentry post, people busily with. 张御道:“我们进去看看。”他当即迈步,往岗哨之中走入进去,众人忙是跟了上来。 After inside, he sized up around one. 到了里面之后,他打量了一下四周。 In order to organize the defend space, on the wilderness these sentry post spaces are quite big, the almost 78 zhang (3.33 m) lengths and breadths, the high also six zhang (3.33 m), are divided into three layers, 1/3 in underground, revolving stone steps by thick wall surface, high and low insightful, inside all things take in everything at a glance. 为了有腾挪守御的空间,荒原上这些哨点的空间比较大,差不多有七八来丈长宽,高也有六丈许,共是分为三层,有三分之一在地下,旋转的石阶靠在厚实的墙面上,上下通透,里面所有的东西都是一览无余。 Colored glaze jade altogether two for glow of light message transmission, high and low respectively, but has not suffered any destruction. 用于芒光传讯的琉璃玉一共两个,上下各有一个,但是并没有遭受到任何破坏。 After he looked at several, the pupil light flashes, then in front of him presented six as if smog fuzzy person's shadows, everyone defends to be stationed in the oneself position, looks usual all. 他看了几眼后,眸光微闪,而后他面前出现了六个仿佛烟雾般模糊的人影,每一个人都守驻在自己的位置上,看去一切如常。 But the change happened quickly , six person almost simultaneously drop down very much suddenly, then everyone body lift-off hikes up, then towering vanishes does not see. 可是变化很快发生了,很是突然的,六个人几乎是不分先后的倒下,而后所有人身躯离地飘起,而后突兀的消失不见。 Matter happened in the flash, everyone the least bit responded that has not made with enough time. 事情发生在一瞬之间,所有人连半点反应都未来得及做出。 Zhang Yu pondered, arrived at several people of institutes to transfer in the position, then looked toward a sentry post stone wall above, but these did not have the trace place to appear suddenly many lightly, sent out the spirituality ray the claw marks, master body one group of fuzziness of claw marks, but was not big, looked that seemed like the life that what four limbs were well-grounded to climb up. 张御思索了一下,来到几人所在位置转了一圈,而后又往哨点的石墙之上看去,而那些本来没有痕迹的地方忽然显现出了许多淡淡,散发灵性光芒的爪痕,爪痕的主人身躯一团模糊,但是并不大,看去似乎是什么四肢着地攀爬的生灵。 Can see that these are open the mouth from the east sentry post point from the claw marks, then opens the mouth from the west, and extends toward the wilderness deep place. 可以看到这些是从爪痕从东面的哨点开口进来,而后又从西面开口出去,并往荒原深处延伸出去。 He comes to the opens the mouth border, the intention to move, the body Song of Cicadas Sword light leaps, in the future will fly in that direction, his opens the mouth and says: „fellow daoist Shi, finds several people with.” 他来至开口边沿,心意一动,身上的蝉鸣剑化光腾起,往后往那个方向飞了出去,他开口道:“时道友,找几个人跟上去。” A Shi Yue nod, then told, bringing several cultivator to pursue that flying sword to go. 时悦一点头,回头吩咐了一声,带着数名修士追着那飞剑而去。 Approximately after the little while, a sword light flies, Zhang Yu puts out a hand to take, will belong to the scabbard, then sees Shi Yue and the others is also return comes back. 大约半刻之后,一道剑光飞来,张御伸手一拿,将之归入了剑鞘之中,而后便见时悦等人也是归返回来。 Shi Yue to his cups the hands, his look said seriously: „Profound Corrector, found.” His indicated, delivered six skeletons that Heart Light supported. 时悦对他一拱手,他神色严肃道:“玄正,找到了。”他示意了一下,将心光承托的六具骸骨送了上来。 People look one cold, these six skeleton flesh vanish into thin air, clothing along is retaining but actually, the body thing is one has not been short. 众人神色一凛,这六具骨骸血肉都是化为乌有,随身的衣物倒还是保留着,身上东西也是一件没少。 Shi Yue said: „They were buried in the underground three zhang (3.33 m) place, buried unusual is deep, but has not seen the surrounding excavation the trace, probably sent in baseless.” 时悦道:“他们被掩埋在地下三丈处,埋的非常深,但并没有见到周围的挖掘的痕迹,像是被凭空送入进去的。” The Zhang Yu vision looked at fixedly a while, said: „After verifying the status, making their Teacher relatives and friends go back the skeleton belt/bring.” 张御目光凝注了一会儿,才道:“验明身份后,让他们的师长亲友把尸骸带回去。” After instruction, he stayed half a Xia hour in this sentry post, this leaves to return. 吩咐过后,他在这处哨岗之中又停留了半个夏时,这才动身回返。 After returning to the station, Zhang Yu told, calls Daoist Wan Ming, said the general situation, said: „According to the situation, the person of starting considers cultivator, that person should the essence excel at changing technique, and dao skill is not completely low, if he aims at the sentry post in our surrounding constantly, then we are very difficult to guard, therefore I decided, withdraws sentry post outside thousand li (500 km).” 回到驻地之后,张御吩咐了一声,把万明道人唤来,把大致情况说了一下,道:“根据眼前情形来看,下手之人当是一个修士,其人应该精擅变化之术,且道行绝然不低,若是他一味针对我们外围的岗哨,那么我们很难防备住,所以我决定,把千里之外的哨点都是撤回。” cultivator that he is responsible for recording events nearby one said: „Officially informed one for me to Mr. Chang, said that established the matter of army rampart to be slightly later.” 他又对旁边一个负责记事的修士言道:“代我向常先生知会一句,说建立军垒之事要稍微晚一些了。” That cultivator nods and complies. 那修士点头应下。 Daoist Wan Ming thinks, said: „ Profound Corrector, sentry post, if withdraws, how if that Frost Continent place does have the change to be? „ 万明道人想了想,道:“玄正,岗哨若是撤回,若是那霜洲处有异动该是如何？“ Zhang Yu said: „This matter does not need to be worried, has fellow daoist Cao to observe the Frost Continent trend in front, is insufficient to have the issue, leaves behind some creation outside the sentry post again, each day make one or two fellow daoists be responsible for patrolling the border, is the Frost Continent person appears, we may also respond fully.” 张御道:“此事不必担心,有曹道友在前面察看霜洲动向,不至于有问题,再在岗哨之外留下一些造物,每日再让一两位道友负责周沿的巡查,便是霜洲人出现,那我们也足可反应得过来。” Daoist Wan Ming also nods, from the action of Heavenly Secrets Institution station, clearly is two government offices must launch to the attack of Frost Continent, the obviously northern soldier very much conducts is very smooth. 万明道人也是点头,从天机院驻地的举动来看,分明是两府就要展开对霜洲的进攻,很明显北方的战士进行的很顺利。 Normal, Frost Continent should think at this time how to contract the self-preservation, but was unlikely again the strength waste at the pointless matter. 正常来看,霜洲这个时候应该是想着如何收缩自保,而不太可能再把力量浪费在没有意义的事情上了。 In two people are discussing, the disciple incoming telegram, said that is the Daoist Xing Chuan interview. 就在两人正商议之时,弟子来报,说是杏川道人求见。 A Zhang Yu nod, said: „Asked fellow daoist Xing Chuan to come.” 张御一点头,道:“请杏川道友进来。” Before long, Daoist Xing Chuan walked, he to Zhang Yu cups the hands, access road/simply said: „Profound Corrector, I just also went to sentry post there to observe, these methods were cruel, I can conclude, the person of making a move then however was evil cultivator, if kept these people not to eliminate, that has not known that had many disciple to be damaged, I came to plead to Profound Corrector especially, making me cut other generation!” 不一会儿,杏川道人走了进来,他对着张御一拱手,便道:“玄正,我方才也去岗哨那里察看过了,那些手段残忍恶毒,我敢断定,出手之人便然是邪修,若是留着此辈不除,那还不知道有多少弟子受损,我特来向玄正请命,让我去斩了彼辈！” Zhang Yu has not responded immediately, on the wilderness has had many evil cultivator, he knows. 张御并没有立刻回应,荒原上一直存在不少邪修,他都是知道的。 these people cultivation technique nothing more than is slaughters plunders, so long as is not slaughters the Celestial Xia people, but aims at these spiritual creature and gods and monsters, that is also some uses. 此辈修行之法不外是杀戮掠夺,不过只要不是去屠杀天夏子民,只是针对那些灵性生物和神怪的话,那也算是有些用处。 After Profound Mansion return to oneness, these evil cultivator also avoided cultivators location as far as possible, never dares to appear before them, therefore is these people, although has the suspicion, but he does not think that the matter of this time certainly with its and other. 在玄府归一后,这些邪修也是尽量避开了众修所在之地,从来不敢在他们面前露头,故是此辈虽有嫌疑,可他不认为今回之事一定与其等有关。 Daoist Wan Ming said at this time: „fellow daoist Xing Chuan, being patient, this matter is not so simple.” 万明道人这时言道:“杏川道友,稍安勿躁,这件事情没有这么简单。” Daoist Xing Chuan is with no trace of politeness said: „ What's wrong? Is it possible that does fellow daoist Wan Ming want to get free for these evil cultivator? 杏川道人却是毫不客气道:“怎么？万明道友莫非想为那些邪修开脱么？ Daoist Wan Ming said: „fellow daoist said that is the evil cultivator behavior, but where does these people so make the goal? To enrage me and others? Quite makes me and others start to him?” 万明道人道:“道友说是邪修所为,可此辈如此做目的又何在呢？只是为了激怒我等么？好让我等对他下手么？” Daoist Xing Chuan scoffed at one, how he will unable to look at these questionable points, but in his opinion, where serves a need to consider so many, no matter this matter is the evil cultivator behavior, cutting these people will not be always wrong. 杏川道人嗤了一声,他岂会看不出来这些疑点,不过在他看来,哪用得着去考虑这么多,不管这件事是不是邪修所为,斩了此辈总是不会错的。 Daoist Wan Ming said: „fellow daoist Xing Chuan, north is fighting now, we must guard against Frost Continent at present, if some people provoke we and evil cultivator intentionally contend, we cannot lead by the nose.” 万明道人道:“杏川道友,现在北方正在大战,我们眼下还需防备霜洲,若是有人故意挑动我辈与邪修相争,那我们绝不能就这么被牵着鼻子走。” During speeches, there is disciple to walk, cups the hands handed over document, said: „Reporting that Profound Corrector, under just now sends.” 就说话之间,又有弟子走了进来,拱手递上一封文书,道:“玄正,底下方才送来的呈报。” Zhang Yu brings looked, a moment later puts down, said: „two fellow daoist walks along with me.” 张御拿了过来一看,片刻之后放下,道:“两位道友随我走一趟。” After half a Xia hour, three people walked into one to be located in the hundred zhang (333 m) sinkhole above desolate territory, was placed bit by bit altar in the position of center, but around altar, is piling up one on top of another skeletons of many spirituality creature. 半个夏时之后,三人走入了一处位于荒域之上的百丈天坑之中,在最中心的位置摆着着一个法坛,而法坛周围,则是堆叠着许多灵性生灵的骸骨。 this place surrounding cultivator sees them to come, is salutes upon meeting. 此间周围的修士见他们进来,都是上来见礼。 Zhang Yu said: „When discovers?” 张御道:“什么时候发现的？” Is first cultivator said: „ reporting Profound Corrector, this several days comes me and others always to see that has cultivator escaping light to fly from the top on, because the flying direction is all goes from east to west, from the beginning also thinks that is inner territory true cultivator, but discovered afterward these people always goes to place, I and others had suspected. 为首修士言道:“回禀玄正,这几日来我等总是看到有修士遁光自顶上飞过,因为飞遁方向是全都是由东往西而去,一开始还以为是域内的真修,可是后来发现此辈来总是去往一地,我等才有所怀疑。 Yesterday midnight, I and others discovered that on the wilderness had blood light to soar, after sending out to notify, then advanced to observe, most found this place. ” 昨天半夜时分,我等发现荒原上有血光腾升,在发出报信之后,便先行来察看了一番,最找到了这个地方。” Daoist Xing Chuan goes forward several steps, sweeps the sleeve, the altar middle ashes scatter, under can see is a scoop channel, inside also has a dark colored trace. 杏川道人上前几步,把袖一扫,法坛中间灰烬飘散开来,可以看到下方是一个凹槽,里面还有一层暗黑色的痕迹。 He raised the head saying: „Profound Corrector, is the blood sacrifice! This certainly is these evil cultivator behaviors!” 他抬头道:“玄正,是血祭！这定然是那些邪修所为！” Zhang Yu looked at one, that indeed is the trace of blood sacrifice, looks at the situation, this altar is this several days builds. 张御看了一眼,那的确是血祭的痕迹,看情形,这个法坛是这几日才搭建的。 evil cultivator cultivation means many are swallow to seize the life to make up for itself, but the blood sacrifice is most cruel and wicked means that is extracts the life of life to be succinct, then use these cultivation or refining treasure. 邪修的修炼办法多数就是吞夺生灵弥补自身,而血祭是一个最为残恶的办法,就是提取生灵的生命精粹,而后利用这些修行或者祭炼宝物。 But the blood sacrifice is must use the intelligent life, with the cultivator from the same source life, then more makes the introduction of blood sacrifice appropriately, the number are more, the obtained harvest is also bigger. 而血祭是必然是要用到智慧生灵的,越是与修士自身同出一源的生灵,则越是合适做血祭的引子,数目越多,所得收获也就越大。 Without a doubt, in this has certainly the life of Celestial Xia person. 毫无疑问,这里面一定是有天夏人的性命的。 Related to this matter, he is impossible to look but not see. 涉及到这种事,他不可能视而不见。 He said: „Blood sacrifice violates Profound Mansion rules, before I once assigned/life fellow daoist Si Wuzhang to nose in secret these evil cultivator cave residence, fellow daoist Xing Chuan, this matter you manage with fellow daoist Si together, if you lack the manpower, may come to say with me.” 他道:“血祭违反玄府规令,之前我曾命司武彰道友暗中查探过这些邪修的洞府,杏川道友,这件事你就与司道友一同去办,你们若是缺少人手,可来跟我说。” Daoist Xing Chuan cups the hands, sound said: „Yes, Profound Corrector.” 杏川道人一拱手,正声道:“是,玄正。” After Zhang Yu confesses, the vision proceeds to look at one, in an instant a resplendant star light flashes past, when looks again, entire altar changed into one pile of powder dust including the surrounding these spirituality creature skeletons. 张御交代过后,目光往前看有一眼,霎时一道璀璨星光在此间晃过,再看去时,整座法坛包括周围的那些灵性生灵的骸骨都是化为了一堆碎末。 He makes other cultivator tidy up, then walked from the sinkhole. 他让余下修士在收拾一下,便自天坑之中走了出来。 Daoist Wan Ming walked at this moment, said: „Profound Corrector, this matter fishy, this place sees to differ more than hundred li (0.5 km) from cultivators very much, even if there is sound and light during the blood sacrifice, is absolutely impossible transmission such far, let alone these evil cultivator must do to conceal, considers some people deliberately to direct them to this.” 万明道人此刻走了过来,道:“玄正,这件事很蹊跷,此间距离众修所见相差百余里,血祭之时纵有声光,也绝无可能透照如此之远,何况这些邪修也不可能不做掩饰,当是有人在刻意引他们到此。” Zhang Yu nodded, he can feel, the occurrence matter of here matter and sentry post is not not separates, but some people are intending to guide them, making them think in the evil cultivator direction. 张御点了点头,他能感觉到,这里的事情与岗哨的发生事并非不是分开的,而是有人在有意引导他们,让他们往邪修方向上去想。 The goal of opposite party was still not clear, but he will not therefore tie the oneself hands and feet, how should do how when also to do, so long as oneself does not show too many flaws, does not give the opposite party the opportunity is not missed, that has no hindrance. 对方的目的尚不清楚,不过他并不会因此缚住自己手脚,该如何做还当如何做,只要自己不露出太多破绽,不给对方可趁之机,那就没有什么妨碍。 But sky over the zenith of this moment sinkhole, a red eyeball white skin young fellow stands there, body is the group embroiders Chinese peony mark daoist robe, looked that such as the cloud flowers petal petal is blooming, his gaze below a while, a spin body, then vanished to disappear. 而此刻天坑的天顶上空,一个红睛白肤的少年人站在那里,身上是团绣芍药纹道袍,看去如云花朵正瓣瓣绽放着,他目注了下方一会儿,一旋身,便又消失不见了。 ...... …… ...... ……
