Lin Yi does not know, in the world of immortal god, there is an iron rule. 林毅并不知道,在仙神的世界,有一个铁律。 low-rank cannot look straight ahead high-rank, because the invincible might of high-rank is low-rank cannot withstand. 下位者不可直视上位者,因为上位者的神威是下位者不能承受的。 The orthoptic Spiritual God, is disrespecting to high-rank, will certainly be punished. 直视神灵,是对上位者的不敬,必将受到制裁。 Why this also held the dragon of candle to see initially the appearance that Lin Yi clone then first lowers the head to indicate submitted. 这也是为何当初衔烛之龙看到了林毅分身的样貌便第一时间低头表示臣服了。 The low eyebrow along the eye, should have the stance that facing the high-rank Spiritual God. 低眉顺目,才是面对上位神灵该有的姿态。 This is only its one. 这只是其一。 Second, some powerful Spiritual God, the whole body can have the main road principle, looks straight ahead the Spiritual God obviously, looks straight ahead the main road. 其二,一些强大的神灵,周身会有大道法则的显化,直视神灵,也是直视大道。 The luck is not good, died by the main road steamroll directly. 运气不好,直接就被大道碾压死了。 Naturally, these high-rank Spiritual God will also be receiving generally, only if in some specific situations, will not melt the main road true body generally at will obviously. 当然,这些上位神灵一般也会收着点,除非在一些特定的场合,一般都不会随意显化大道真身。 Otherwise the big shot go on a journey daily, would some people not seeing 12 carefully, daily opens the special effect, but can not dodge. 不然大佬们天天出行,总会有人不小心看到一两眼,的天天开特效,可不得把人闪死了。 These are the unspoken rules of immortal god world, is a deity knows, what a pity, Lin Yi is not the immortal god who the normal flow becomes, he opens to hang. 这些都是仙神世界的潜规则,是个神仙都知道,可惜,林毅并不是什么正常流程成为的仙神,他是开挂开出来的。 Intensive, cultivated/repaired to come up, but many stories could not follow. 过于速成,修为是上去了,但很多阅历跟不上。 The story of the world he can read the memory of demons and monsters to understand, but cuts to kill immortal god not falling to remember, this did not have the means. 人间的阅历他可以阅读妖魔鬼怪的记忆来了解,但斩杀仙神不掉落记忆,这就没办法了。 Because of this, he raised the head, stares looked that to eyes that the Nüwa empress opened. 正因为如此,他抬起头,直勾勾地看向了女娲娘娘睁开的双眼。 At this moment, he as if crashes into the clouds. 此时此刻,他仿佛坠入云端之中。 The worn out palace vanishes instantaneously does not see, the present clay sculpture idol, as if also had the flesh and blood, lifelike. 废旧的殿宇瞬间消失不见,眼前的泥塑神像,仿佛也拥有了血肉之躯,活灵活现。 But in the eyes of Nüwa, such as the galaxy obliterates. 而女娲的双眼之中,如星河磨灭。 Lin Yi one passes shortly, then saw mixes the team to

naturally is also so, by his several million years of magical skill mortal body, the scene of after gazing at this main road evolving, splits unceasingly, the blood spews out unceasingly. 林毅自然也是如此,以他几千万年道行的肉身,在注视了这大道演化的场面之后,也不断地裂开,鲜血不断喷涌而出。 But this time Lin Yi had not detected completely since oneself had met passed through the biggest crisis, he has lost in this main road rhythm. 可此时的林毅完全没有察觉到自己遇到了穿越以来的最大一次危机,他已经迷失在了这种大道韵律之中。 No life can resist the attraction of main road, Lin Yi was not what fan god magic arts, because of main road's attraction. 没有任何一个生灵能够抵挡大道的吸引,林毅也不是中了什么迷神法术,而是因为大道本身的吸引力。 He does not have to realize oneself will continue the mortal body to collapse, he will unable to feel the ache, immersed completely.

myriad things common origin. 道生一,一生二,二生三,三生万物,万物同源。 A picture appearance that this also and Demon Subjugating Scroll demonstrates. 这也和降妖谱展示出来的画面一个样子。 The world myriad things are similar to such a tree, on the tree possibly has the leaf to have the flower to have the fruit to have, but all, is this tree is born. 天下万物就如同这样的一棵树,树上可能有叶有花有果有枝,但所有的一切,都是这棵树诞生的。 The source of main road, may split is

林毅在感悟这些的时候,他的身体流出的血液,已经快将地面染红了。 Also in this moment, Demon Subjugating Scroll in his mind releases the infinite charm, falls in torrents Lin Yi within the body, in the heart of Lin Yi, like having a bottomless spring, unceasingly outward spout fresh blood. 也是在这一刻,他脑海中的降妖谱释放出无穷神韵,倾泻到林毅体内,林毅的心脏之中,如同有个无底的泉眼,不断向外喷涌新鲜的血液。 These, are over a hundred million magical skills of Lin Yi storage. 这些,就是林毅储存的上亿道行。 This time, Demon Subjugating Scroll manifested a spirit unexpectedly on own initiative. 这一次,降妖谱竟主动显灵了。 How to handle the magical skill, is Lin Yi decided, the storage is also good to

Lin Yi could not have distinguished clearly, no matter but the dream is realistic, first realized the desire to say again...... 林毅已经分不清了,但不管是梦还是现实,先实现了愿望再说…… Lin Yi actually does not know, his main body perched in the imperial palace, with the peaceful/late Qingqiu same room. 林毅却是不知,他本体原是栖息在皇宫之中的,和晏青丘同一个屋子。 peaceful/late Qingqiu went out, when comes back, Lin Yi does not see, displaces, only has one group of blood cocoons. 晏青丘出去了一趟,回来时,林毅已经不见,取而代之的,只有一团血茧。 This strange scene, even/including peaceful/late Qingqiu also somewhat feels helpless. 这奇异的景象,连晏青丘也有些不知所措。 She is experienced, but also has the limit. 她是见多识广,但也是有极限的。 However, she felt the Lin Yi aura above, wants to come, this blood-color cocoon was Lin Yi does. 不过,她在上面感受到了林毅的气息,想来,这血色茧子是林毅搞出来的。 She does not know that Lin Yi is doing, can only defend. 她也不知道林毅在干嘛,只能这么守着。 This cocoon is really also strange, always has swayed, probably inside has anything to be the same at the collision. 只是这茧子也着实奇怪,总是会一直摇晃,像是里面有什么东西在碰撞一般。 peaceful/late Qingqiu does not dare to act unreasonably, she is also sees the cocoon to turn into the butterfly, if Lin Yi cultivated a special merit law, if she acts unreasonably, causing Lin Yi to cultivate the failure? 晏青丘也不敢乱来,她也是见过蛹化成蝶的,如果林毅是修炼了一种特殊的功法,她如果乱来,导致林毅修炼失败呢? In brief, peaceful/late Qingqiu is protecting this cocoon, at the same time the surveillance dark cloud, was also praying at heart silently the dark cloud may not give birth to what calamity. 总之,晏青丘就这么守护着这个茧子,一边监视乌云,心里也在默默祈祷乌云可千万别生出什么乱子。 If by some chance her suddenly violent walks, Lin Yi is not, she does not want to consume oneself card in a hand to suppress. 万一她忽然暴走,林毅不在,她可不想耗费自己的底牌去镇压。 Her card in a hand, will be few with one. 她的底牌,用一张就会少一张。 Originally is used to fight a decisive battle, somewhat was strenuous, if makes consumption for no reason again, that was more difficult. 本来用来决战,就有些吃力了,若是再做无端的消耗,那就更难了。 Lin Yi, you may come out a bit faster! 林毅啊,你可快点出来吧! If peaceful/late Qingqiu knows the strange abnormal noise that in the cocoon that every day protects passes on and sways is Lin Yi and person movement is the result, it is estimated that the mentality must collapse greatly. 晏青丘若是知道每日守护的茧子里面传出来的奇怪异响和摇晃是林毅与人运动所致,估计心态也要大崩。 Words weight head, and said desolate Yue after packing off clone of Lin Yi, spread the efficacious medicine to oneself impatiently. 话分两头,且说萧玥在送走了林毅的分身之后,也迫不及待地给自己涂上了灵药。 The efficacious medicine is cool, as if infiltrated within the body, when are not many, that colloid was dry, she like tearing up shameless tore off, the scar really vanished, her flesh was still newly white and tender such as. 灵药清凉,仿佛渗透到了体内,过不多时,那胶状物干巴了,她像撕掉了死皮一样扯下,疤痕果然消失了,她的肌肤依然白嫩如新。 Wind senior is really a good person!” “风前辈真是好人呐!” desolate Yue mused, although she acted as lookout to hope also treats as oneself love rival, windward hope quite had the favorable impression. 萧玥心里暗想,虽然她把风希也当作自己的情敌了,却也对风希颇有好感。 If she and Lin Yi had no relations to be good. 如果她和林毅没什么关系就好了。 Before desolate Yuexiang the wind is hoping just before leaving, to words that she spoke, were at heart many several points of earnestness. 萧玥想着风希临走前对她说的话,心里也多了几分认真。 Now side does not have the expert to protect, she indeed wants steadily. 现在身边没有高手保护,她的确要稳重一点。 Moreover the wind hopes the senior and her master, should too not wish that the Han people massacre mutually. 而且风希前辈和她师父,应该都是不太希望汉人互相残杀。 Thinks of here, desolate Yue was also prudent several points, decides to draw back troops for the time being, does not pester with Jiang Linglong. 想到这里,萧玥也慎重了几分,决定暂且退兵,不与姜玲珑纠缠。 Mainly is also because she realized, oneself cannot be victorious that ghost surface general. 主要也是因为她意识到了,自己打不过那个鬼面将军。 Initially the ghost surface general hit the Northern Wei soul to fly to tremble with fear, now desolate Yue bumped into such a enemy, knew the grievance of Northern Wei military officer. 当初鬼面将军打得北魏魂飞丧胆,现在萧玥碰上了这么一个敌人,才知道北魏将领的委屈。 Too difficult to hit! 太难打了! No matter person many people are few, the ghost surface generals have the law of dealing. 不管是人多还是人少,鬼面将军都有应对之法。 desolate Yue felt oneself are very fierce, but she attacks full power, both sides clarified the stance to make war, he by steamroll. 萧玥觉得自己已经很厉害了,但她全力出击,双方摆明了架势开战,他还是被碾压了。 The military tactics have the cloud, avoids the enemy's strength and hits where he is weak, enhances strong points and avoids weaknesses. 兵法有云,避实击虚,扬长避短。 Now knows that can be victorious ghost scope general, that does not need to meet the tough head-on with toughness with her. 现在知道打不过鬼面将军,那也就没有必要和她硬碰硬。 First cuts back the defense line, for the time being grows. 先收缩防线,暂且发育一番。 This enmity, she first remembered. 这个仇,她先记下了。 desolate Yue hands down the decree, the entire army draw back temporarily, does not battle with the enemy, simultaneously writes to land Yuanhua, told he himself not to win matter that but has not lost. 萧玥传下旨意,整军暂退,不与敌军交战,同时写了封信给陆元化,告诉他自己没打赢但也没输的事。 Jiang Linglong was too difficult to process, but, her military actually and insufficient. 姜玲珑太难处理了,不过,她的兵力其实并不够。 The quality of army, is well below desolate Yue. 军队的素质,也远远不及萧玥。 Jiang Linglong has not spent the too much time to reorganize the morale of troops, the time that after all she takes over is not long, takes over goes to war, has not stopped completely, naturally considers the morale of troops without enough time. 姜玲珑并没有花费太多的时间去整顿军心,毕竟她接手的时间不长,一接手就是打仗,完全没停下来过,自然来不及考虑军心。 She can do, reorganizes the discipline. 她能做的,也只是整顿军纪。 But desolate Yue was different. 而萧玥这边就不一样了。 Many people are really are working oneself to death to her, because in tripartite camp, only then desolate Yue has been implementing the policy of benevolence, biggest is possibly settling elderly and infirm who receives the war sea of fire. 很多人真是在给她卖命,就因为三方阵营之中,只有萧玥一直在实施仁政,最大可能地安顿着受到战争火海的老弱妇孺。 But these elderly and infirm naturally have the family member. 而这些老弱妇孺自然也是有家人的。 desolate Yue does not have pointed to bestow favor, she is only the person who saved itself to save. 萧玥没有针对性地施恩,她只是去拯救了自己能拯救的人。 Although desolate Yue this influence is most bitter, but concerns the morale of troops popular sentiment, Xiao Se (bleak) and Liu Jian subordinates cannot compare her. 虽然萧玥这一支势力最苦,但论及军心民心,萧瑟和刘坚所部都比不上她。 Therefore Xiao Se (bleak) had the defeat to draw back troops temporarily, the army has not therefore mutinied and retreated, did not have to be therefore depressed, gave birth to a brand-new meteorology on the contrary. 所以萧瑟吃了败仗暂时退兵,部队也没有因此哗变和溃逃,也没有因此而消沉,反倒生出了一种崭新的气象。 Everyone longs to the victory. 所有人对胜利都更加渴望了。 desolate Yue retreats to the west slowly, Jiang Linglong presses on step by step. 萧玥缓缓向西撤退,姜玲珑则是步步紧逼。 For successive several days. 连续数日。 both sides do not have the battle, but has had the tacit understanding of maintain this distance very much, draws back enters. 双方没有交战,但一直都很有默契地保持这种距离,一退一进。 If there are to excel at stargazing, then can see that on this day on three stars fluctuates. 若是有擅长观星者,便可以看到这天上的三星变幻。 After the broken army and corrupt wolf collide, closely bites in the same place, but the two radiance even more is radiant, even brings some purple intent. 破军和贪狼碰撞之后,紧紧咬在一起,但二者光华却越发璀璨,甚至带着些许紫意。 This as if time lies is this crape myrtle alpha of ursa minor, meets to promote from these two generals unexpectedly. 这似乎在于是着这一次的紫薇帝星,竟会是从这两个将星之中晋升而成。 This is really the unprecedented scene, in other words the destinies of these two generals are changing. 这真是前所未有的景象,也就是说这两个将星的命运正在发生改变。 Originally can only be the general, now unexpectedly can be the emperor. 本来只能当将军,现在居然能当皇帝了。 This is odd! 这多离谱啊! The primary cause is also because the crape myrtle alpha of ursa minor of destiny had predeceased, but the new crape myrtle alpha of ursa minor has not appeared. 主要原因也是因为命定的紫薇帝星已经先死了,而新的紫薇帝星却还没出现。 Therefore this three stars pursues, will naturally have one to replace the crape myrtle alpha of ursa minor. 所以这三星追逐,自然就会有一个取代紫薇帝星。 From the general, is likely to turn into the alpha of ursa minor, this is span of destiny. 从将星,有望变成帝星,这就是命运的跨越。 To the world, this is an imperial authority alternates, to the paradise, this actually means out-of-control. 对人间而言,这不过是一次皇权更迭而已,对仙界而言,这却意味着失控。 Even the immortal god, is unable to control the destiny river, but the immortal god can actually affect the river of destiny to a certain extent, thus completes to the control of the world. 即便是仙神,也无法操控命运长河,但仙神却能一定程度上的影响到命运之河,从而完成对人间的掌控。 Now the situation loses control, this also means that the effect of paradise on the world destiny lost the function. 如今局势失控,这也就意味着仙界对人间命运的影响失去了作用。 Originally person who is destined to be the emperor, was killed early, but are doomed only to become the stepping-stone to kill broken wolf three stars, the unexpectedly two stars appeared simultaneously indication that enters the step. 原本命中注定要当皇帝的人,早早被人打死了,而注定只能成为垫脚石的杀破狼三星,竟有两颗星同时出现了进阶的征兆。 Now a world three points of situation is clear, this does not conform to the three stars chaotic world very much the trend. 如今天下三分的局势已经明朗,这很不符合三星乱天下的趋势。 Generally speaking, kills broken wolf three stars only to subvert the world, actually cannot become the final emperor. 一般而言,杀破狼三星都只能颠覆天下,却不能成为最终的帝王。 three stars swallows the crape myrtle, what brought is the turmoil and expedition of the world, after completing this task, three stars also retired after meritorious service, the new crape myrtle alpha of ursa minor assigns/life the person of standard again the unified world. 三星吞噬紫薇,带来的是天下的动乱与征战,完成这个任务之后,三星也就功成身退了,新的紫薇帝星命格之人再来统一天下。 So repeat in cycles, then can counter-balance slowly kills the tribulation. 如此循环往复,便能缓慢抵消一些杀劫。 But this day next three points of situations are obvious now, various group of feudal lords have not developed with enough time, became present such pattern directly. 可如今这天下三分的局势过于明显,各路诸侯还没来得及发展起来,直接就成了现在这样的格局。 In other words, no matter in three stars who is a winner, finally the person changed own life standard surely. 也就是说,不管三星之中谁是赢家,最后都必定有一个人改变了自己的命格。 But this most hopeful, exactly is the corrupt sirius. 而这个最有希望的,恰是贪狼星。 Do not look the appearance that desolate Yue retreats now instigated very much, but her auspicious sign actually day by day many. 别看萧玥现在撤退的样子很怂,但她身上的紫气却一天比一天多。 In comparison, another two slightly obviously inferior. 相比之下,另外两家都稍显逊色。 At the critical moment of immortal every struggle, the world presents the person who hits to risk one's life the standard again, this to the paradise is also a big impact. 在仙凡之争的关键时刻,人间再出现一个打破命格的人,这对仙界也是不小的冲击。 Also because of the accident of astrology and physiognomy, culmination purple slightly Great Emperor Palace spread a law aim. 也正是因为星相的变故,中天紫微大帝宫传出了一道法旨。 Shortly after the law aim sends out, in the corrupt sirius palace, the day wolf empty shadow streaks across the nighttime sky together, directly soars the world to go. 法旨发出不久,贪狼星宫之中,一道天狼虚影划破夜空,直奔人间而去。 The immortal every between has the barrier, the immortal god must open the barrier, needs to pay a big price, and needs to prepare ahead of time. 仙凡之间有屏障,仙神要打开屏障,需要付出不小的代价,且需要提前准备。 But star Monarch is different. 但星君不一样。 With the aid of hobbling of life standard host, they can the direct world of mortals arrive. 借助命格宿主的牵绊,他们可以直接下界降临。 But this time, the corrupt sirius Mr.'s duty only has one. 而这一次,贪狼星君的任务只有一个。 Ahead of time swallows corrupt sirius fate, disrupts the world, waits for the crape myrtle...... 提前吞食贪狼星宿命者,扰乱天下,以待紫薇…… ( This chapter ends) (本章完)
