Han Li after meeting Great King Black Weasel all, in the heart has the doubts, but has not actually asked. 韩立对于遇到黑鼬大王后所发生的一切,心中自是存有疑惑,不过却并未开口询问。 He also thinks from the beginning is break through realm, drew the attention of these demon beast monster kings, causes to be chased down, but he thinks that now the matter is not simple, Shi Chuankong seems the chase goal of opposite party. 他一开始还以为是自己破境,引来了这些魔兽妖王的注意,才导致被追杀,可现在他才觉得事情没有那么简单,石穿空似乎才是对方的追逐目标。 But as of Great King Black Weasel Ten Troubles this time is so polite to Shi Chuankong, should with its status some relations, but Shi Chuankong seems to have no intention to explain, he pours also asked inconveniently. 而身为十患之一的黑鼬大王此番对石穿空如此客气,应该和其身份有些关系,只是石穿空似乎无意解释,他倒也不便多问。 However in any event, places Ten Troubles Mountain Range at present, he best choice attaches in Shi Chuankong, all wait to leave here to make the plan again. 不过无论如何,目前身处十患山脉,他最好的选择都是依附于石穿空,一切都等离开此处再做打算。 After 3 days, the Han Li two people between Black Weasel City and Majestic Location City, the established secret trade passageway, embarks to rush to Majestic Location City. 三日之后,韩立二人通过黑鼬城与雄踞城之间,建立的隐秘交易通道,出发赶往雄踞城。 After several months . 数月之后。 South Demon Territory, the appearance of the mountain steep prolonged mountain range, like a natural moat spans, in Ten Troubles Mountain Range and seals Guangping original, in a right in the middle slightly low level area, is constructing a number hundred zhang (333 m) high giant city wall. 魔域南方,有一条山势陡峭的绵长山脉,如同一座天堑横亘在十患山脉和封广平原之间,正当中的一处略低山坳中,建造着一座数百丈高的巨大城墙。 The wall lays on top of one another by the black giant stone, above is engraving complicated rune/symbol mark, above has the light mist to cover, is seemingly dusky, above the top visibles faintly a giant inscribed horizontal tablet, is submitting a written statement to „Majestic Location City” three characters. 墙体以黑色巨石垒砌而成,上面镌刻着一道道繁复符纹,上面有淡淡的薄雾笼罩,看起来灰蒙蒙的,墙头之上隐约可见一块巨大匾额,上书着“雄踞城”三字。 Under the inscribed horizontal tablet is a huge circular arch entry, the both sides have a slightly small side door respectively. 匾额下方是一道巨大的圆拱门洞,两侧各配有一座稍小一些的旁门。 And city gate in the biggest that main entry and left side entry is closed, only then the right side entry is opening wide, the inside and outside both sides have one team of demon race armed soldier values of respectively wearing the jet black mail-armor and helmet defend. 其中最大的那座主门洞和左侧门洞内的城门都关闭着,只有右侧门洞敞开着,内外两侧各有一队身着漆黑甲胄的魔族甲士值守。 Entry nearby rare pedestrian, looks quite lonely, outside the city more is far obviously on the desolated path from the city, two person's shadows goes hand in hand, toward here slowly. 门洞附近少有行人,看起来颇为冷清,城外一条离城越远越显荒芜的道路上,两道人影结伴而行,朝着这边缓缓而来。 One of them body figure tall and strong, the skin is dark, the appearance is rough, forehead lives a black alone corner/horn, the body puts on an green skin armor, another person of size is inferior to the former to be big, the appearance is also very similar to human race, just lives some golden scales by the cheeks, similarly can see some demon race traces. 其中一人身形魁梧,皮肤黝黑,容貌粗犷,眉心处生有一根黑色独角,身上穿着一件青皮铠甲,另一人体型不如前者高大,容貌也与人族十分相似,只不过在脸颊两侧生有些许金色鳞片,同样可以看出些魔族痕迹。 „Brother Shi, why we previously did not enter the city with the caravan that Great King Black Weasel arranged together, but after must separate halfway, entered Majestic Location City again?” The cheeks live the Golden Scale man, opens the mouth to ask. “石兄,我们为何先前不与黑鼬大王安排的商队一同入城,而是要半路分开之后,再进入雄踞城？”脸颊生有金鳞的男子,开口问道。 „Brother Lì has not to know, although Majestic Location City has come and go/dealings in business with Great King Black Weasel, but after all is transaction in private secretly, not being able to amount to something, my status was not specially better to mix.” The big man answered. “厉兄有所不知,雄踞城虽然与黑鼬大王有生意上的往来,但毕竟是暗地里的私下交易,上不了台面,我身份特殊就更不好掺和其中了。”高大男子解释道。 These two are not others, Han Li and Shi Chuankong that from Ten Troubles Mountain Range returns. 这两人不是别人,正是从十患山脉一路返回的韩立和石穿空。 During the speeches, two people arrived at the city gate place, immediately was blocked by the defense armed soldier. 说话间,两人来到了城门口处,随即被守城甲士拦住了。 „Diplomatic note takes.” Is the appearance of head, if the demon race armed soldier of monster wolf, searches the make a move palm to say to two people. “通牒拿出来。”为首的一名貌若妖狼的魔族甲士,探出手掌对两人说道。 Shi Chuankong cracks into a smile, under a wrist/skill revolution, fishes out two palm of the hand sizes black jade token, handed over. 石穿空咧嘴一笑,手腕一转之下,摸出两块巴掌大小的黑色玉牌,递了过去。 That demon race armed soldier receives, sized up carefully a moment later, looked up Han Li two people eyes, opened the mouth to ask: „Is the diplomatic note that the Count Nethers Mountain mansion issues, is so remote to this Majestic Location City, what kind of will enter China from here?” 那名魔族甲士接过来,仔细打量了片刻之后,抬头看了韩立两人一眼,开口问道:“是幽山伯府颁发的通牒,离这雄踞城如此遥远,怎的会从这里进关？” „Runs about to handle matters for the Sirs, no matter many can also not act accordingly?” Shi Chuankong ridicules was saying. “都是替大人们跑腿办事的,不管多远也都得照办不是么？”石穿空讪笑着说道。 „Diplomatic note does not have the issue, goes.” The demon race armed soldier handed over two black jade token, said. “通牒没问题,进去吧。”魔族甲士将两块黑色玉牌递了回来,说道。 „Many thanks.” Shi Chuankong is busy at apologizing to one, bringing Han Li to walk toward the entry. “多谢。”石穿空忙谢过一声,带着韩立朝门洞内走去。 Enters in the arch door, Shi Chuankong gives Han Li jade token, said: „Later some time, being probable have to use this thing, you also take the same place along.” 走进券门之内,石穿空将一枚玉牌递给韩立,说道:“之后一段时间里,少不得要用到此物,你也随身带上一块吧。” „The Count Nethers Mountain mansion on this diplomatic note what's the matter?” Han Li received jade token, asked. “这通牒上的幽山伯府是怎么回事？”韩立接过玉牌,问道。 „Holy Territory is different from your Immortal World, although also has all influence on separate, but takes my father as to advocate on the whole, in its under some certain King, Duke, Marquis, Count, is also commanding the zone of different influences, this Count Nethers Mountain is one of them.” Shi Chuankong answered. “圣域与你们仙界不同,虽然也有各方势力割据,但大体上还是以我父亲为共主,在其之下还有若干王公侯伯,统领着不同区域势力,这幽山伯就是其中之一。”石穿空解释道。 „You expensive/noble are the child of Demon Lord, should is a king rank?” Han Li nods, asked. “那你贵为魔主之子,应该是属于王一级别的吧？”韩立点点头,又问道。 „In Holy Territory, the bloodline is no doubt important, but strength to revere eventually. To obtain a title of king rank, oneself cultivation base at least is also the Great Encompassing rank, but must have certain meritorious service or the back influence support. I do not have the fiefdom now temporarily, naturally does not have the title, but can transfer most Vast Source House resources and that's the end.” Shi Chuankong smiles bitterly, said. “圣域之内,血统固然重要,但终究还是实力为尊的。要想获得王一级别的封号,自身修为至少也得是大罗级别,还得有一定的功勋或背后势力支撑。我如今暂无封地,自然也无封号,不过可以调用大部分广源斋资源就是了。”石穿空苦笑一声,说道。 „So that's how it is.” The Han Li point, said. “原来如此。”韩立点了点,说道。 The generosity of this city wall, far surpass Han Li estimated, below entry really has long of hundred zhang (333 m). 这座城墙之宽厚,远超韩立预想,下方的门洞竟然都有百丈之长。 Two people go out of the city gate entry gradually, the top of the head is unscreened, skylight suddenly one bright, unexpectedly a suddenly seeing the light feeling. 两人缓步走出城门门洞,头顶再无遮挡,天光骤然一亮,竟给人一种豁然开朗的感觉。 However Han Li just trod the city gate, a brow slightly wrinkle, some too do not adapt. 然而韩立刚踏出城门,眉头就不禁微微一皱,有些不太适应。 In this Majestic Location City demon Qi between Heaven and Earth, unexpectedly compared with city outside strong several times. 这雄踞城内天地之间的魔气,竟然比城外浓重了数倍。 Although north turns over, Han Li had discovered that more goes toward the north, demon Qi between Heaven and Earth even more is rich, but separation of only one city wall, the demon Qi change intense makes him somewhat unexpected. 虽说一路北归,韩立早就发现越往北方而去,天地间的魔气就越发浓郁,可仅一座城墙之隔,魔气变化之强烈还是让他有些猝不及防。 „This Majestic Location City constructs at the beginning of the city, asked Holy Territory Master array to add has held, can demon Qi detention between Heaven and Earth, wait to go out of town again toward north, was not necessarily able to be richer than the city.” Shi Chuankong meets Han Li to have the unusual look, said with a smile. “这座雄踞城建城之初,就请圣域阵法宗师加持过,能够将天地间的魔气拘留其中,等出了城再往北,也未必会比城中更浓郁了。”石穿空见韩立面有异色,笑着说道。 „Compared with this Majestic Location City, Ten Troubles Mountain Range indeed was the demon Qi thin Desolate Wilderness region.” Han Li nods, said. “和这座雄踞城一比,十患山脉的确算是魔气稀薄的蛮荒区域了。”韩立点点头,说道。 „Can Brother Lì, adapt to this demon Qi to change? If really does not adapt, here has a lock air/Qi pill, putting in the endo-abdominal may help you lock in demon Qi of inspiration within the body.” Shi Chuankong asked. “厉兄,可还适应这魔气变化？若是实在不适应,我这里有一颗锁气丹,置于腹内可帮你锁住吸入体内的魔气。”石穿空问道。 „Might as well, if this degree of words, pour might also as well, is not too ill.” Han Li shakes the head, said. “无妨,若是这种程度的话,倒也无妨,并无太多不适。”韩立摇了摇头,说道。 „Also yes, Fellow Daoist Lì after all is Supreme Unity Realm cultivator, this demon Qi does not resist even, will not have too the effect.” Shi Chuankong smiles, said. “也是,厉道友毕竟已是太乙境修士,这点魔气即使不去抵制,也不会有太多影响。”石穿空笑了笑,说道。 In the city gate, is an open square, inward however goes to one straightly flagstone main road to city center, the both sides construction density sends, more goes toward the center is big. 城门之内,是一片开阔广场,向内而去有一条笔直通往城池中心的石板大道,两侧建筑疏密有致,越往中心去就越是高大。 The entire Majestic Location City architectural style is quite unique, the house many lays on top of one another by the black giant stone, middle is primarily the dome and apex, has the Immortal World common resting summit architecure rarely, and above the wall eaves has the pattern fine sculpture decoration. 整座雄踞城建筑风格较为独特,房屋多以黑色巨石垒砌而成,当中以圆顶和尖顶为主,少见有仙界常见的歇山顶式建筑,并且墙体屋檐之上多有花纹精美的雕塑装饰。 And is most common, is some grotesque unusual animals sculpture, middle also the monster different female of many on the back grows both wings, in brief looks like, made Han Li exclaim in surprise actually greatly. 其中最为常见的,是一些奇形怪状的异兽雕塑,当中也不乏背生双翅的妖异女子,总之一路看来,倒是令韩立大为惊叹。 Close to city gate nearby block , the shop is sparse, many are the small-scale firms of some bottom gate short households, pedestrian also interest is waning that middle communicated, looks that many were somewhat bleak, but jumped over toward the city in goes, on the street the pedestrian were more, became is livelier. 临近城门附近的街区里,店铺稀疏,多是些底门矮户的小型商行,当中来往的行人也都意兴阑珊,看着多少有些萧条,只是越往城内而去,街上行人就越多,也就变得越热闹起来。 „Then we go to city lord residence directly, borrows transmission array?” Han Li asked. “接下来我们是直接去城主府,借用传送阵吗？”韩立问道。 „It is not anxious, in this Majestic Location City has Vast Source House branch, we first go that side.” Shi Chuankong smiles, said. “不急,这雄踞城内有一座广源斋的分号,我们先去那边一趟。”石穿空笑了笑,说道。 Han Li hears word, nods, has not said anything again. 韩立闻言,点了点头,没有再说什么。 Soon, two people arrive in the city a pound, spent to hire beast-drawn carriage, is being harnessed by the cart driver, along city main road, went toward the city north. 不多时,两人来到城中一座兽栏,花钱雇了一辆兽车,由车夫驾着,沿着城中大道,一路往城北而去。 In the way city, Han Li saw an area quite broad tall building from afar, complements in one green botanical gardens. 途径城中,韩立远远看见了一片占地面积颇广的高大建筑,掩映在一片绿色园林中。 „Should there be city lord residence?” Han Li asked. “那里应该就是城主府吧？”韩立问道。 „correct/good, there is city lord residence. Present City Lord Marquis Heavenly Axe.” Shi Chuankong looked at one, said. “不错,那里是城主府。如今的城主正是天钺侯。”石穿空望了一眼,说道。 „Marquis Heavenly Axe?” Saying of some Han Li doubts. “天钺侯？”韩立有些疑惑的说道。 „If common city lord of the city, at most is the Count first-level, for example Count Courageous, Count Azure Qilin and so on. Majestic Location City and elsewhere are different, are responsible for guarding southern Desolate Wilderness, preventing Ten Troubles Mountain Range to invade, the responsibility is big, therefore is guarded by the marquis. In fact, north big piece area including Majestic Location City, under its jurisdiction.” Shi Chuankong answered. “若是寻常城池的一城之主,至多都是伯爵一级的,比如奋勇伯,青麟伯之类。雄踞城与别处不同,负责镇守南方蛮荒,防止十患山脉入侵,职责不小,所以才由侯爵驻守。事实上,包括雄踞城以北的大片疆域,也都在其管辖之下。”石穿空解释道。 „So that's how it is.” Han Li slightly nodded the head, muttered. “原来如此。”韩立略一颔首,喃喃自语了一句。 beast-drawn carriage bypasses city lord residence to north, turned a very lordly avenue. 兽车绕过城主府一路向北,拐进了一条十分气派的大街。 By the street, hangs the inscribed horizontal tablet the lordly building to be close, performing is some of stores that sell magical treasure medicine pill. 街道两旁,高悬匾额的气派建筑鳞次栉比,尽是些出售法宝丹药的商铺。 Enters this street, the stream of people immediately becomes crowded, the speed that beast-drawn carriage runs quickly also has to reduce speed, is carrying two people slowly the line. 一进入这条街道,人流立即变得密集起来,兽车奔驰的速度也不得不减慢了下来,载着两人缓缓而行。 The cart driver who drove also wants to introduce on the street to two people the situations of various stores, recommended while convenient is going to that several homes to permit to the store that he drew bonus has a look, finally in a few words conversation, discovered that seemingly rough and work-soiled man, is being the least bit is not unexpectedly strange to Majestic Location City, on shutting up of knowing the limitation. 原本驾车的车夫还想给两人介绍一下街上各家商铺的情况,顺便引荐着去那几家许给他分红的商铺看看,结果三言两语交谈之后,就发现那看起来粗黑的男子,对着雄踞城竟是半点不陌生,也就识相的闭了嘴。 Shi Chuankong gives store's respective foundation that Han Li spoke much saw along the way all the way actually, fine within its crudy, said has the orderliness. 石穿空一路上倒是给韩立讲了不少沿途见到的商铺各自的根底,粗中有细,讲得颇有条理。 „Brother Shi, are you so how familiar with this Majestic Location City?” Asking that the Han Li vision flashes. “石兄,你怎么对这雄踞城如此熟悉？”韩立目光闪动的问道。 Shi Chuankong has not opened the mouth to reply directly, but is voice transmission returns said: „I started to involve the Vast Source House business initially, starts from Majestic Location City here, therefore in the situation to Ten Troubles Mountain Range will that clearly know.” 石穿空没有直接开口回答,而是传音回道:“我当初开始介入广源斋的生意,就是从雄踞城这里起步的,所以才会对十患山脉里的情况知道得那么清楚。” „It seems like here was the Brother Shi supreme headquarters.” Under Han Li point suddenly. “看来这里是石兄的大本营了。”韩立恍然的点下头。 „ It can be said that. Shi Chuankong cracks into a smile. “可以这么说吧。石穿空咧嘴一笑。 Two people are speaking, the road opposite presented a seven/7th level tall building, similarly is the apex style, above is decorating the fine gorgeous sculpture and various complicated patterns, above vertical is hanging together the inscribed horizontal tablet, above writes „Vast Source House” three characters. 两人正说话间,路对面就出现了一座七层高楼,同样是尖顶样式,上面装饰着精致华美的雕塑和各种繁复的花纹,上面竖向挂着一块匾额,上面写着“广源斋”三字。 When beast-drawn carriage close, Han Li thinks that must reach the destination, actually does not think that Shi Chuankong shot a look at a Vast Source House front door, looks on vision one revolution to the front, directed the cart driver to harness beast-drawn carriage to continue. 兽车临近时,韩立以为就要到达目的地了,却不想石穿空只是瞥了一眼广源斋的大门,就目光一转望向前方,指挥着车夫驾着兽车继续前行了。 „Why crosses the Vast Source House front door not to enter?” The Han Li brow slightly wrinkle, voice transmission asked. “为何过广源斋大门而不入？”韩立眉头微皱,传音问道。 „This......” Shi Chuankong somewhat hesitates to say. “这个……”石穿空有些犹疑道。 „Brother Shi, I, although complies to return to Night Sun City with you together, but also not just this road may walk. If you intend to conceal something, I go the same way with you difficultly again the line, we might as well go separate ways.” Han Li voice transmission said. “石兄,我虽然答应与你一起返回夜阳城,可也并非只此一条路可走。你若是有意隐瞒一些事情的话,恕我难再与你同路而行,我们不如就此分道扬镳。”韩立传音道。 „Brother Lì must worry not, allowing me first to settle, then with you related in detail that a reasoning can be good?” Shi Chuankong sighed, voice transmission returns said. “厉兄莫要着急,容我先安顿下来,再与你细说个中缘由可好？”石穿空叹息一声,传音回道。 Han Li has not spoken, but after considering the moment, nods silently 韩立没有说话,只是思量了片刻后,默然点了点头
