After several months . 数月之后。 Han Li and Shi Chuankong arrived at plateau region of one everywhere black earth. 韩立与石穿空来到了一片满目黑土的高原地带。 This place climate is dry, often has the intermittent strong winds to blow, raises everywhere black sand dust, even has to Heavenly Dragon from time to time wraps up depending on the black sand four downstreams is walking. 此地气候干燥,不时有阵阵狂风吹过,掀起漫天黑色沙尘,甚至时而有冲天龙卷裹挟着黑沙四下游走。 Shi Chuankong to here, in surface expression obviously also relaxed. 石穿空到了此处,面上表情明显也轻松了下来。 Han Li sees this, in the heart also relaxes secretly. 韩立见此,心中也暗松了一口气。 After two people leave Majestic Location City, all the way nonstop, because Shi Chuankong is familiar with this region, two people transformed several times of routes all the way, and to prevent to be obstructed, has not used along the way transmission array of cities. 自二人离开雄踞城后,一路上马不停蹄,由于石穿空对这片区域还算熟悉,二人一路上变换了数次路线,且为了防止被阻截,并没有怎么动用沿途城镇的传送阵。 This method is perhaps effective, this actually is quite all the way smooth, has not encountered big brother Shi Chuankong pursuing of influence on stop up, but also has no news about his Third Brother. 许是这种方法奏了效,这一路上倒是颇为平顺,并没有遭遇石穿空大哥势力的追堵,但也同样没有任何关于其三哥的消息。 So toward the forward flight two months of time, presented two ten thousand zhang (3.33 m) great peaks in the front horizon end, between two great peaks, was situated a black city, at this moment is away from is too far, but by the Han Li eyesight, can actually see that indistinctly this city scale is big. 如此又往前飞了两个来月时间,在前方天际尽头出现了两座万丈巨峰,两座巨峰之间,坐落了一座黑色城池,此刻距离还太远,但以韩立的目力,却隐约能看出此城规模还不小。 This place is the thorough black earth plateau deep place, all around environment is worse, the dense hurricane four crazy volumes, curl up everywhere black sand to block the sky, even many gigantic dances in the air like the hill great rock, if not Nascent Soul Stage above cultivator, generally the average man and even low rank cultivator feared that is unable to base in this. 此地已算是深入黑土高原深处,四周的环境更为恶劣,黑压压的飓风四下狂卷,卷起漫天黑沙遮天蔽日,其中甚至不乏硕大如小山般的巨岩飞舞,若非元婴期以上的修士,一般常人乃至低阶修士怕是根本无法在此立足。 Naturally this storm, regarding the Han Li two people, may disregard directly. 当然这点风暴,对于韩立二人而言,自是可直接无视掉了。 Actually that black city between two great peaks, actually seems quite tranquil, a surrounding area thousand li (500 km) tranquility centered on him, as if has some restriction to isolate outside wreaking havoc storm. 倒是那座黑色城池在两座巨峰之间,却显得颇为宁静,以其为中心方圆千里一片宁静,似乎存在着某种禁制隔绝了外面的肆虐风暴。 „Finally.” Shi Chuankong looks at the distant place, eye pupil bright, long shouting is venting anger slightly. “终于到了。”石穿空望着远处,眼眸微微一亮,长长的呼出了一口气。 „Is this then Harvest Mountain City? This place climate is quite bad, demon Qi is not rich, the surroundings do not have the mineral lode and other geographical advantages, you how in this type of place construction city?” Han Li looked at one toward the surroundings, puzzled asking. “这便是稔山城？此地气候颇为恶劣,魔气也并不浓郁,周围更没有矿脉等地理优势,你怎么会在这种地方建造城池？”韩立朝着周围望了一眼,不解的问道。 „This Harvest Mountain City is not I constructs, here once was tribe housing place of named sandpile clan, several tens of thousands years ago after they moved walked, I think the means this place to buy, putting many thoughts to transform the present appearance, although the environment was not much, but if thinks in turn, wasn't a natural barrier?” Shi Chuankong somewhat self-satisfied saying with a smile. “这稔山城并非是我所建,这里曾是一个名叫沙坨族的族群居住之地,数万年前他们搬迁而走后,我想办法将此地买了下来,花了不少心思改造成如今的模样,环境虽然不怎么样,但若是反过来想,不也是一处天然的屏障吗？”石穿空有些得意的笑道。 „Perhaps this is not the key, according to my observes all the way, unifies your several Demon Territory maps, this Harvest Mountain City is also the route intersection points in several big cities, and to is not too far with Ten Troubles Mountain Range, for doing business is quite actually appropriate.” Han Li said with a smile. “恐怕这不是关键吧,据我这一路上观察,结合你的那几幅魔域地图,这稔山城也算是地处数座大城的路线交汇处,且与十患山脉相距也不算太远,用于做生意倒是颇为合适。”韩立笑着说道。 „Knows me, Brother Lì!” Shi Chuankong eye one bright, laughs to say. “知我者,厉兄也！”石穿空眼睛一亮,哈哈一笑道。 „Do we pass? Although here is your domain, but you left these years, will not necessarily have problems.” Han Li thought of anything immediately, the reminder said. “我们就这么过去吗？这里虽然是你的地盘,但你离开了这么些年,未必不会出问题。”韩立随即又想到了什么,提醒道。 „Might as well, I already in secret and trusted aides in city have contacted, in the city has not had the unusual situation, these people have not bribed Harvest Mountain City temporarily.” Shi Chuankong smiles self-confidently. “无妨,我早已暗中和城内的心腹联络过,城内没有出现异样情况,那些人暂时还没有染指稔山城。”石穿空自信一笑。 „That is good.” Han Li nods. “那就好。”韩立点点头。 Two people spoke, Dark God Flying Shuttle continued to the forward flight goes. 两人说话之间,乌神飞梭继续向前飞去。 The front two great peaks increase in the vision fast, to near looked, the twin peaks reach to the sky, quite palatial magnificent, but in Harvest Mountain City in two great peaks, although with the great peak wants compared with appearing insignificant, but under nearly looks, just like an imposing manner broad great city. 前方两座巨峰在视线范围内飞快变大,离近了看,双峰高耸入云,颇为巍峨壮观,而处于两座巨峰间的稔山城,虽与巨峰想比显得微不足道,但近看之下,俨然是一座气势恢弘的巨城。 This city wall best pupil have several the hundred zhang (333 m), escaping light frequent turnover, the flying boats of various many types, flying ship. 此城城墙高足有数百丈,一道道遁光频繁进出,其中不乏各式的飞舟,飞船。 Above the ground also starts to see some giant carriages by land of going by land, from goes toward the Harvest Mountain City gathering in all directions, must be livelier than Black Weasel City. 地面之上也开始能看到一些陆行的巨型舟车,从四面八方朝着稔山城汇聚而去,比黑鼬城还要热闹很多。 Han Li sees this scenery, in the pupil flashes through surprised. 韩立看到此景,眸中闪过一丝惊讶。 But Shi Chuankong looks at the front giant city, in the eye also exudes the excitement that cannot suppress, the faint trace is proud. 而石穿空看着前方的巨大城池,眼中也泛起抑制不住的兴奋,还有丝丝骄傲。 For not noticeable, Shi Chuankong slowed down the Dark God Flying Shuttle rate of progression, 为了不引人注目,石穿空减缓了乌神飞梭的前进速度, A moment later arrived in the Harvest Mountain City edge. Looks from the midair, in the city the tall building stands in great numbers, straight streets spread across, on the street heavy traffic, stream of people like shuttle, lively incomparable, by far Black Weasel City and Majestic Location City. 片刻之后才抵达了稔山城边缘。从半空望去,城内高楼林立,一道道笔直街道纵横交错,街道上更是车水马龙,人流如梭,繁华无比,远胜黑鼬城和雄踞城。 Sky over the city float more than ten straight giant jade columns, on the pillar inscribe black rune, seems like some type of giant arrange/cloth array. 城池上空悬浮着十几根笔直的巨大玉柱,柱子上铭刻了一道道黑色符文,看起来似乎是某种巨大布阵法器。 Is centered on these more than ten pillars, the surroundings open giant black light screen, covers the entire city and surrounding area thousand li (500 km), is resisting surrounding inundates the Heavenly winds violent sand dust. 以这十几根柱子为中心,周围张开一个巨大黑色光幕,笼罩住全城及方圆千里,抵御着周围的漫天风暴沙尘。 But east Harvest Mountain City, the west, south, north, the southeast, Northeast, the southwest, the northwest eight positions, eight giant city gates, eight all opens at this time, but gathering to flying boat flying vehicle gathers to eight city gate places, the platoon becomes the long team, waits for is entering the city. 而在稔山城东,西,南,北,东南,东北,西南,西北八个位置,有八座巨大城门,此时八门皆开,汇聚而至的飞舟飞车都聚集到八个城门处,排成长长的队伍,等待着入城。 „It seems like only then eight entrances, are too few, but passes in and out the city then to need to wait for is so long, but also needs to expand several city gates again.” Shi Chuankong sees this scenery, muttered said. “看来只有八处入口,还是太少,只是进出城便需要等待这么久,还需要再扩建几处城门。”石穿空看到此景,喃喃说道。 He has not fallen to the ground to line up, but is controls Dark God Flying Shuttle to fly directly toward the city from the midair. 他没有落地去排队,而是操控乌神飞梭径直从半空朝着城内飞去。 Around Harvest Mountain City has demon race that wears grey armor much circles, seems going on patrol, sees Dark God Flying Shuttle to approach, one team of patrol demon race welcome immediately. 稔山城周围有不少身穿灰甲的魔族盘旋,似乎在巡逻,看到乌神飞梭靠近,一队巡逻魔族立刻迎了上来。 „Halts, the future, fast reported to come!” The teams leader of patrol squad drink to ask. “站住,来者何人,速速报上名来！”巡逻小队的队长喝问道。 Shi Chuankong receives Dark God Flying Shuttle, without speech, but lifts the hand to wield. 石穿空收起乌神飞梭,没有说话,只是抬手一挥。 In his hand are many purple token, above writes two ancient literary style demon race writing together, sends out the hazy purple light. 他手中多出一块紫色令牌,上面写着两个古体魔族文字,散发出迷蒙的紫光。 „Originally is the city lord residence honored guest! Was disrespectful below, two come.” The patrol team leader sees the purple token, the complexion changes immediately, respectful good a ritual. “原来是城主府的贵客！在下失礼了,两位请进。”巡逻队长看到紫色令牌,面色立刻大变,恭敬的行了一礼。 Then he takes out at the same time the black signal flag, after reading aloud fast recites the incantation, immediately wields. 然后他取出一面黑色令旗,飞快诵念咒语后,立刻一挥。 Sprays from the black signal flag together black light, submerges in the front black light screen, on after the light screen pitch darkness color multi-colored sunlight flashes through, split a several feet entrance silently. 一道黑光从黑色令旗中喷射而出,没入前面的黑色光幕中,光幕上一抹黑色霞光闪过后,无声无息的裂开了一个数丈大小的入口。 Shi Chuankong nods to that several people, flew with Han Li. 石穿空对那几人点了点头,和韩立飞了进去。 In the city has not banned spatial restriction, escaping light fly round in the midair, Shi Chuankong brings Han Li also to mix, goes forward toward the city center. 城内没有禁空禁制,一道道遁光在半空飞来飞去,石穿空带着韩立也混入其中,朝着城池中心前进。 A moment later, two people fall before an area big big mansion. 片刻之后,二人在一处占地面积不小的高大府邸前落下。 Here far away from the lively block, is very peaceful, before mansion gate, has not guarded, only then facial features are clear, wears the azure cheongsam, the old man who pours some quite dust stands here. 此处远离繁华街区,很是安静,府邸门前也没有守卫,只有一个面容清庸,身穿青色长衫,倒颇有些出尘的老者站在这里。 „Junior Patriarch, you arrive safely, old servant on relax/rest assured.” The Han Li two people have fallen, the clothes old man welcomes immediately quickly, tone somewhat excited saying. “少主,您平安抵达,老奴就放心了。”韩立二人已落下,青衫老者立刻快步迎了上来,语气有些激动的说道。 „Old Qi, has been well since last meeting!” Shi Chuankong chuckle, said. “祁老,别来无恙！”石穿空轻笑一声,说道。 During the speeches, in his hand pinches finger joints with the thumb, the body flashed black light, restored the original appearance. 说话之间,他手中掐诀,身上黑光闪动,恢复了本来容貌。 „Fellow Daoist Lì, this is Old Qi, is early man who my mother left behind in the past, since childhood takes care of me to grow up, can the absolute trust. Old Qi, before this is me, with you have raised Fellow Daoist Lì.” Shi Chuankong introduced both sides immediately. “厉道友,这位是祁老,是我母亲当年留下的旧人,从小服侍我长大的,可以绝对信任。祁老,这位就是我之前和你提过的厉道友。”石穿空随即介绍双方。 „Originally is Fellow Daoist Qí, the fortunate meeting.” Han Li has not actually relieved changes the body, sized up Old Qi fast, in the pupil flashed through wisp of strange light, submissively good a ritual. “原来是祁道友,幸会。”韩立却没有解除变身,飞快打量了一下祁老,眸中闪过一缕奇光,拱手行了一礼。 This old, although is hiding the aura strongly, but he investigates, its cultivation base has achieved Supreme Unity Realm, but also above oneself. 此老虽然在竭力隐藏自身气息,不过他还是探查到,其修为已经达到了太乙境界,还在自己之上。 Old Qi cultivation base does not have any, what making Han Li surprised is on this old man, although is sending out demon Qi, the place of source unexpectedly is the immortal spirit strength aura, is somewhat similar to his own situation. 祁老的修为倒没有什么,让韩立惊讶的是这老者身上虽然散发着魔气,本源之处竟然是仙灵力的气息,和他自己的情况有些相似。 „Fellow Daoist Lì, many thanks your escorts my family Junior Patriarch, thanked in this below.” Old Qi looks solemn, serious also a ritual. “厉道友,多谢你这一路护送我家少主,在下在此谢过。”祁老神情肃穆,郑重还了一礼。 „Fellow Daoist Qí was polite.” Han Li said with a smile again. “祁道友客气了。”韩立再次笑道。 „Ok, Old Qi, Fellow Daoist Lì was not a bystander, does not need so to stand on ceremony, doing others was not comfortable. Brother Lì, we said advanced again.” Shi Chuankong also said. “好了,祁老,厉道友也不是外人,不必如此拘礼,搞得人家不自在。厉兄,我们先进去再说。”石穿空也说道。 Old Qi nods, having two people to enter the mansion quickly. 祁老点了点头,带着二人快步走进了府邸。 „Is Your Highness Thirteenth Imperial Prince!” “是十三皇子殿下！” „Your Highness Thirteenth Imperial Prince, you may be come back!” “十三皇子殿下,您可算是回来了！” „Your highness long journey, but is smooth?” “殿下此次远行,可还顺利？” The aide in mansion, the guard sees Shi Chuankong, immediately comes in swarms, sent regards, Shi Chuankong also greets with a smile, one by one/each responded to people's question, did not have imperial prince rack. 府邸内的侍从,护卫看到石穿空,立刻蜂拥而来,争相问候,石穿空也笑脸相迎,一一回应众人的问话,丝毫没有皇子的架子。 „Ok, imperial prince your highness just came back, some lot must be done, do not encircle here.” The Old Qi sinking sound said. “好了,皇子殿下刚刚回来,有很多事情要做,都别围在这里了。”祁老沉声说道。 Old Qi dignifiedly as if is extremely here high, these people listened to this words, diverged quickly. 祁老在这里威严似乎极高,那些人听了此话,很快都散去了。 „Made Fellow Daoist Lì be laughed.” Shi Chuankong saw that the Han Li complexion has different, said with a smile. “让厉道友见笑了。”石穿空看到韩立面色有异,笑道。 „Where, Fellow Daoist Shi was so loved, the this Li admiration without enough time, how will also be laughed.” Han Li said with a smile. “哪里,石道友如此受人爱戴,厉某钦佩还来不及,岂会见笑。”韩立笑道。 Three people continue to go forward, goes to a hall to sit down quickly. 三人继续向前而去,很快来到一处大厅内坐下。 „Old Qi, I leave the Holy Territory many years, is laborious you to run this Harvest Mountain City for me. I came a moment ago, in the city the companies of various places were more than 10% before, in the city the population were also more than before, this is your merit.” Shi Chuankong said. “祁老,我离开圣域多年,辛苦你为我掌管这稔山城。我刚才一路过来,城内各处的商号比之前多了10%,城内人口也比以前多了一些,这都是您的功劳。”石穿空说道。 „The Junior Patriarch erroneous approved, the old servant according to the plan one by one/each execution that you formulate just before leaving. In city company and population, although increased compared with before, but its mesosaurus snake mixed, many that several covet Harvest Mountain City to be lively, manpower who places. Old servant these yearly payment strength repress with all one's heart, what a pity the effect is unsatisfactory, the city internal surface seemingly lively as brocade, inside has started the undercurrent to be turbulent, was far less than when Junior Patriarch wielded in the past personally like that systematic.” Old Qi looks ashamed color saying. “少主谬赞了,老奴不过是按照您临走时制定的计划一一执行罢了。城内商号和人口虽然比之前增加了,但其中龙蛇混杂,不乏那几位眼热稔山城繁华,安插进来的人手。老奴这些年费尽心力弹压,可惜效果不佳,城内表面看起来繁华似锦,内里已经开始暗流汹涌,远不如少主当年亲自执掌时那般井井有条。”祁老面露惭愧之色的说道。 „Since is unable to repress, that then retreats in order to advance, directed them, entire Harvest Mountain City in my palm, that several people, since delivered these fat to my mouth, I did not swallow am unfair to them. Old Qi does not need to be worried, this matter I knew.” Shi Chuankong chuckle, pupil light deep and dark like the sea, is too deep to see the bottom. “既然无法弹压,那便以退为进,将他们引进来好了,整个稔山城都在我的掌中,那几人既然送了这些肥肉到我嘴边,我不吞掉岂不是对不起他们。祁老不必担心,此事我知道了。”石穿空轻笑一声,眸光幽深如海,深不见底。 „Yes, the old servant understood.” Old Qi sees the Shi Chuankong so facial expression, in the surface the gloomy color clears off. “是,老奴明白了。”祁老看到石穿空这般神情,面上阴郁之色一扫而光。 Han Li calmly sits in the one side, sees this, in the heart moves at present. 韩立静静坐在一旁,看到眼前这一幕,心中一动。 Shi Chuankong maps out strategic plans in an army tent, operates the road, the ratio opposes the enemy actually slaughters to be more aggressive. 石穿空运筹帷幄,经营商道,倒是比对敌厮杀要霸气许多。 „Right, can the Third Brother that side have the news to transmit?” Shi Chuankong thought of anything immediately, is busy at asking. “对了,三哥那边可有消息传来？”石穿空随即又想到了什么,忙问道。
