( Top carriage's first ^ ^) (上架第一更^^) „It seems like two fellow daoist also noticed, before that map seemingly did not have the issue, but on the chart has not drawn in the island various river water courses, because in city map of opening offer, without these fluent marking. But we walk, has met many long big river obviously, I also labelled on.” Han Li smiles, said. “看来二位道友也注意到了,之前那幅地图看似没有问题,但图上没有绘上岛上各处大河水脉,因为城中公开出售的地图,都没有这些水流标识。而我们一路走来,明明遇到过很多长江大河的,我也都标注上了。”韩立笑了笑,说道。 Others hear this words, in abundance looking pensive looks again to that map. 其他人听闻此话,纷纷若有所思的再次望向那副地图。 Really just like Han Li said that although the map was exhaustive, but little had the rivers water course extremely, even so, was only some creek little river. 果然正如韩立所言,地图虽然详尽,但是极少有河流水脉,即便有,也只是一些小河小江。 The people previous vision by these city attractions, had not been noticed this actually. 众人先前的目光都被那些城池吸引,倒是没有注意到这点。 „These days my cities, collected the geographical environment materials on some islands at every place of visit, particularly some ancient maps, found the materials of some river water courses finally.” Han Li is saying, directs. “这几日我每到一处城池,都收集了一些岛上的地理环境资料,尤其是一些古老地图,总算找到了一些大河水脉的资料。”韩立说着,一指点出。 In the mirage the ray twinkle, on the map some regions appear rivers. 水镜上光芒闪烁,地图上部分区域浮现出一条条大河。 „This is......” people looks at the mirage, the complexion changes. “这是……”众人看着水镜,脸色一变。 „Because the time is tight, my acquired water course material also only then these, so-called peeped a spot to know the overall picture. Should also discover, these Red Moon City that we passed by, some big cities, are situated near the major water courses, these days we see, happen to confirmed this.” Han Li answered slowly. “因为时间仓促,我收集到的水脉资料也只有这些了,所谓窥一斑而知全豹。诸位应该也发现了吧,我们路过的这些红月城,还有一些大的城池,都坐落在各大水脉附近,这几日我们亲身所见,也正好验证了这点。”韩立缓缓解释道。 Others recalled before , several cities that have been, truly each in the great river, or nearby the lake, the Red Moon City that this moment people are at is also so. 其他人回想之前到过的几座城池,确实每一座都在大江,或是湖泊附近,此刻众人所在的这座红月城也是如此。 „This also does not have any, close to big rivers, transportation nature convenient many. Not only Red Moon Island, the cities of other islands , the metropolis considers to construct near the rivers and streams.” Flood Dragon 13 said. “这也没有什么吧,靠近大江大河,运输自然便利的多。不光红月岛,其他一些岛屿的城池,也大都会考虑建在江河附近。”蛟十三说道。 „Be that as it may, but I just regarding this of city shop manager that trades the ancient book displays to confuse the technique of soul, learned from his there an information, in the island any ancient book, refuses to draw up the main water course trend on the chart. And this order is Holy Lord, is that Gongshu Hong issues personally, obviously it is concealing anything.” Han Li continues to say. “话虽如此,不过我刚刚对此城的一个贩卖典籍的掌柜施展迷魂之术,从他那里得知了一个信息,岛上任何典籍,都严禁在图上绘制出主要水脉走向。且这个命令是圣主,也就是那公输鸿亲自下达的,显然其在掩饰什么。”韩立继续说道。 „This......” the Flood Dragon 13 tone stagnates. “这……”蛟十三口气一滞。 „Although does not know why this Red Moon Island Lord must do this, these rivers distributions that but from has drawn up open, all places of water course connection are here.” The Han Li finger aimed at a city on chart. “虽然不知道这位红月岛主为何要如此做,但从已绘制出来的这些河流分布来开,所有的水脉交汇之处是这里。”韩立手指指向了图上的一座城池。 There, is Earth State Red Moon City. 那里,正是坤州的红月城。 „These speculated that you can affirm that Gongshu Hong there?” Flood Dragon 25 also spoke the question to say. “这些都是推测而已,你能肯定那公输鸿就在那里？”蛟二十五也出言质疑道。 „Naturally cannot affirm below, but with its aimless seeking, might as well first have a look to here, the possibility must be bigger.” Han Li said slowly. “在下自然不敢肯定,不过与其漫无目的的寻找,不如先到这里去看看,可能性总要大一些的。”韩立缓缓说道。 The Flood Dragon 25 lip moves, as to refute two, actually could not find the words that refutes. 蛟二十五嘴唇动了动,似乎想要反驳两句,却找不到驳斥的话语。 „This word is rational! Fellow Daoist Flood Dragon 15, many discovered this thanks to you, otherwise we have not had a clue to the present.” Flood Dragon 9 laughs, claps hands to say. “此言有理！蛟十五道友,多亏你发现了这点,否则我们到现在还茫无头绪呢。”蛟九哈哈一笑,抚掌道。 Together after hand in hand action, he always had to plant by Flood Dragon 8 is pressed a feeling, at this moment actually felt proud and elated finally, the mood felt happily many. 一起携手行动后,他总有种被蛟八压了一头之感,此刻却终于扬眉吐气,心情顿感舒畅不少。 „Right, if really seeks for more than 20 Red Moon City, when the time comes, this Gongshu Hong feared obtained the news early, hides not to know where!” Flood Dragon 16 also quite somewhat contented saying. “没错,若是真将这二十多座红月城都找寻一遍,到时候,这公输鸿怕是早得到消息,躲到不知哪里去了！”蛟十六也颇有几分自得的说道。 „Two overpraised, stumbles upon.” Han Li smiles humbly. “两位过奖了,偶然发现而已。”韩立谦逊一笑。 „Fellow Daoist Flood Dragon 15 inference is very reasonable, our then goes to Earth State.” After Flood Dragon 8 one is slightly silent, also hehe said with a smile. “蛟十五道友推断的很有道理,那我们这便去坤州吧。”蛟八略一沉默后,也随之嘿嘿一笑道。 ...... …… A several days later night. 数日之后的一个夜里。 In Red Moon Island, sky over a broad plain, two thick escaping light streak across the nighttime sky, landed on a below woods edge. 红月岛中部,一片宽广的平原上空,两道粗大遁光划破夜空,在下方的一片树林边缘降落了下来。 The ray collects, appears two shape different flying boats, above walks 6 - 7 person shadow, wears the strange animal mask, is Han Li et al . 光芒敛去,现出两艘形态迥异的飞舟,上面走下来六七道人影,一个个头戴古怪的动物面具,正是韩立等人。 „Front was Earth State Red Moon City, in the looking at a sample sub-city seems to be also conducting the pilgrimage ceremony.” Flood Dragon 8 raised the hand refers to the curtain of night of distant place, says. “前面就是坤州红月城了,看样子城内似乎也正在进行着朝圣仪式。”蛟八抬手指向远方的夜幕,开口说道。 Han Li following the direction that he points, sees in night more than ten li (0.5 km) away, is standing and waiting for a long time a brilliantly illuminated giant city. 韩立顺着他手指的方向,看到十余里外的黑夜中,正伫立着一座灯火通明的巨大城池。 In the city shines the scarlet lights everywhere, the ray is shining in the nighttime sky cloud layer, dyes a blood red color, looks quite strange. 城内到处亮着赤红的灯火,光芒映照在夜空的云层上,染出一片血红之色,看起来颇为诡异。 Outside the entire city, is covering the one/1st level/layer blue restriction light cover as before, is only under shine of lights, the color had some changes, faintly seems somewhat dark red. 整个城池外,依旧笼罩着一层蓝色的禁制光罩,只是在灯火的映照下,颜色起了些变化,隐隐显得有些暗红。 „This city scale is big, it seems like really might be the Gongshu Hong den.” Under the Flood Dragon 9 vision flashes, said slowly. “这座城规模不小,看来真有可能是公输鸿的老巢了。”蛟九目光闪动下,缓缓说道。 „The matter cannot be delayed, in advance enters a city. Just like before, after entered the city, not wants the wide scope to use divine sense.” Flood Dragon 8 said. “事不宜迟,先行进城吧。和之前一样,诸位入城之后,莫要大范围动用神识。”蛟八如此说道。 Facing the expression of his verbal command people, Flood Dragon 9 naturally chose disregarding, but others nod silently, has not said anything. 面对他这号令众人的言辞,蛟九自然是选择了无视,而其他人则是默默点了点头,没有多说什么。 A moment later, the people change the appearance with the mask, all changed the black cape of travelling by night, hurries to the Red Moon City direction silent. 片刻之后,众人以面具改换容貌,全都换上了夜行的黑色斗篷,沉默地朝着红月城的方向赶去。 This time Earth State Red Moon City, the square city gate opens greatly, in the city leads to by the main road in concourse, is hanging fiery-red lanterns, will put in order a city to shine upon bright. 此时的坤州红月城,四方城门大开,城内通往中央广场的主要干道两旁,全都挂着一盏盏火红色的灯笼,将整座城池映照得一片明亮。 On the major road outside square city gate, the scattered also several thousand pedestrians, the step hurry to toward the city in a hurry, they are participate in the pilgrimage in Red Moon City, was only for various reasons, late. 四方城门之外的官道上,稀稀落落还有数千行人,正步履匆匆地往城内赶去,他们都是来参加红月城内的朝圣者,只是因为各种各样的原因,晚了一些。 Han Li and the others then divide to make two teams, mixes in these people, entered Red Moon City from the city gate. 韩立等人便分作两队,混在这些人之中,从城门进了红月城。 Han Li and Flood Dragon 9 two people enter the city from the south gate, walks toward the city center following the stream of people. 韩立与蛟九二人从南城门入城,顺着人流朝城中央走去。 In the city the atmosphere seems somewhat solemn and respectful, the surroundings pedestrian is also very peaceful, all both hands interlock are hugging in the chest front, along the street, hurries to toward the city center silently. 城内气氛显得有些肃穆,周围行人也都十分安静,全都双手交错着抱在胸前,默默地沿着街道,朝着城池中央赶去。 When close to city center, sound of the intermittent intonation strange recitation spreads, such as the sea water throws the shore to break in three people of ears continuously, is reverberating a special rhythmical image. 越靠近城中央时,才有一阵阵语调奇异的吟诵之声传出,如海水扑岸般连续不断地冲入三人耳中,回荡着一种特别的韵律感。 At this moment, central a giant square and on neighbor main road in city, has been filled with several million people densely and numerously, Han Li and the others arrived at the south avenue center-section, had kept off by the crowded crowd outside. 此刻,在城内中央的一片巨大广场和附近的主干道上,已经密密麻麻挤满了数百万人,韩立等人来到南面大街中段,就已经被密集的人群挡在了外面。 The Han Li three people are ordinary like the loach, pushes through the crowd slowly, central pushes difficultly toward the square, often annoys to come glaring angrily at each other of surrounding person. 韩立三人如同泥鳅一般,缓缓拨开人群,朝着广场中央艰难挤过去,不时惹来周围人的怒目相视。 However, because here most people are only the mortals, and is busy with reciting the praying word, pours no one really to haggle over with them, bit by bit was pushed actually by them in the square, although still not in central, but has also approached very much. 不过,由于此处大多数人都只是凡人,且都忙于吟诵祷词,倒没有人真的跟他们计较,硬是被他们一点一点挤到了广场上,虽然仍不在中央,但也已经很靠近了。 Han Li was tall, stands in the crowd, slightly raises head, can see the front square midpoint the place, stands and waits for a long time to reach as high as more than hundred zhang (3.33 m) giant statues. 韩立本就身材高大,站在人群中,略一仰头,就能看见前方广场正中央的地方,伫立着一尊高达百余丈的巨大雕像。 Also does not know because of its material quality, reason that because periphery the light shines upon, that statue appears blood red one piece, seems somewhat strange. 也不知是因为本身材质,还是因为周围灯光映照的缘故,那尊雕像显得血红一片,显得有些诡异。 But in statue front, close to void of its chest front, then also float seven person shadow, on them all wears the dark blue silk long gown, the chest place is also embroidering a round of blood-color crescent moon design. 而在雕像前方,靠近其胸前的虚空中,则还悬浮着七道人影,他们身上全都身穿着深蓝色的丝质长袍,胸口处还绣着一轮血色弯月图案。 In contrast of shine and under rear statue of surrounding light shadow, these hanging and vertical forms imitate, if the gods are common, the whole body lends strange aura. 在周围光影的映照和后方雕像的衬托下,这几道悬空而立的身影仿若神明一般,周身都散发出一股奇异的气息。 However, in fact these people of cultivation base are not profound, besides a center facial features kind white hair old man is Great Ascension Late Stage cultivator, other are only Integration Stage. 然而,事实上这几人的修为并不如何高深,除了正中一名面容和蔼的白发老者是大乘后期修士外,其余则都只是合体期而已。 However, are most Core Formation Stage cultivator regarding below cultivation base and ordinary mortal, they are the gods of keeping aloof. 不过,对于下方修为最多不过结丹期的修士和普通凡人来说,他们就是高高在上的神明。 Just like all ordinary people, these seven people also nod the head at this time slightly, is reciting the praying word in a low voice, the look is very reverent. 如同所有普罗大众一样,这七人此时也是微微颔首,低声吟诵着祷词,神色无比虔诚。 When Han Li is sizing up the above several people, the heart suddenly resounds Flood Dragon 16 voice transmission: „You said, we do want first to take these people?” 韩立正打量着上方几人时,心头突然响起蛟十六的传音:“你们说,我们要不要先将这几人拿下？” He then looks, sees Flood Dragon 9 also place of face hesitation to look to him, seems somewhat hesitant. 他回头看去,就见蛟九也正一脸沉吟之地望向他,显得有些犹豫。 But at this moment, that wheel crescent moon in upper air has moved to the culmination slowly, the surrounding sound of recitation also immediately gradually small. 可就在这时,高空中的那轮弯月已经缓缓移至中天,周围的吟诵之声也随即渐渐小了下去。 Sees only in the midair that kind old person, slowly sets out, the vision has swept from the square, inspects the common people ordinary like the ordinary senior official, opens the mouth to say slowly: 只见半空中那和蔼老人,慢慢直起身来,目光从广场上扫过,如同凡俗高官巡视百姓一般,缓缓开口道: „Holy Lord hangs the graciousness, grace all living things. You may reflect sincerely, when enjoys day to choose the honor. ‚This day elects’ soon to start, then by the sincere heart, prays looking upon with favor of Holy Lord.” “圣主垂恩,惠泽众生。尔等诚心可鉴,当享天选荣光。‘甲子天选’即将开始,诸位便以诚挚之心,祈祷圣主的垂青吧。” It finishes speaking, in the crowd resounds mountain calling and sea roaring cheers immediately. 其话音刚落,人群之中顿时响起一阵山呼海啸般地欢呼声。 But the moment, is peaceful, everyone nods slightly, the anticipation look of whole face, both hands overlap to get hold of before the body, are making the shape of pray. 但不过片刻,就又安静下来,所有人都微微颔首,满脸的期待神色,双手在身前交叠握紧,做着祈祷之状。 Han Li three people of perplexed, then must imitate. 韩立三人不明所以,便也只得效仿。 At this moment, above the square shakes suddenly slightly, some probably ancient array started generally, the surroundings raise a very strange aura. 就在这时,广场之上突然微微一震,像是某种古老的阵法启动了一般,周围升起一种十分奇异的气息。 Han Li lowers the head slightly, in both eyes blue glow one bright, by the crowd gap, looks toward the ground. 韩立微微一低头,双目之中蓝芒一亮,透过人群间隙,朝着地面望去。 Sees only in ground that Bai Shi (white stone) paves, suddenly shines the complex trace that naked eyes are unable to see, is interlocking densely and numerously mutually, extends to all directions. 只见白石铺就的地面上,忽然亮起一道道肉眼无法看见的复杂纹路,密密麻麻地相互交错着,延伸向四面八方。 Only listens to „buzz” a sound. 只听“嗡”的一声响。 Above the entire square, several hundred scarlet light beams, shoot up to the sky from various grounds suddenly, covered the Red Moon Island people. 整个广场之上,忽然有数百道赤红光柱,从各处地面上冲天而起,将一个个红月岛民笼罩了进去。 The Han Li vision sweeps off, immediately feels somewhat surprisedly. 韩立目光扫去,顿时感到有些惊讶。 Sees only these people, not only does not have the least bit startled color, instead all looks the wild with joy color unexpectedly, some people even weep, freely is wiping tears. 只见那些人非但没有半点惊慌之色,竟然反而个个面露狂喜之色,有的人甚至喜极而泣,不住地抹着眼泪。 But his periphery person, if there is with his getting to know each other well, reveals the joyful color, even the person of not understanding, still admired completely, even is smuggling some colors of envy. 而其周围之人,若有与其相熟者,也是纷纷露出喜悦之色,即便是不认识之人,也都满是艳羡,甚至夹带着些许嫉妒之色。 Han Li somewhat then looked at Flood Dragon 9 stunned two people, sees them is also the eyeful doubts, obviously somewhat is also unclear. 韩立有些错愕地回头看了看蛟九两人,就见他们也是满眼疑惑,显然也有些不明就里。 After all here experience, in beforehand Red Moon City, has not happened. 毕竟此处所见所闻,在之前的红月城中,可并未发生过。 Han Li slightly hesitates, probably suddenly remembers anything to resemble, the brow selects suddenly, said to two people voice transmission: 韩立略一沉吟,像是突然想起什么似的,眉头忽然一挑,向两人传音道: „Is it possible that these people, were selected the person of staying behind by that Holy Lord?” “莫非这些人,就是被那圣主选中留下之人？” „Should be...... followed these people, can perhaps find the Red Moon Island Lord news. Does not know that these people were taken to where?” The Flood Dragon 9 hesitation moment, voice transmission said. “应该是了……跟着这些人,或许就能找到红月岛主的消息。只是不知这些人都被带往了何处？”蛟九沉吟片刻,传音说道。 Han Li smiles saying: „This ease in doing, does not know that you discover not to have, in the person who was transmitted although everybody all have, seems like no rule, but actually is not so.” 韩立笑了笑回道:“这个好办,不知你们发现没有,被传送走的人中虽然男女老幼皆有,看似没有什么规律,但实则却不然。”
