At this moment, in the front door was shoved open. 就在此刻,雅间大门被推开。 Shi Mu and the others turned the head to look, what coming is a blonde blue goal youth, exactly is also the person of understanding, is actually Jin Huan, in the past in Sect one of the gang Venerate Spirit Pavilion chieftains. 石牧等人转头看去,进来的是一个金发碧目的青年,恰好也是认识之人,却是金焕,当年宗门中帮会尊灵阁的头目之一。 This matter's he, cultivation base had the progress compared with before greatly, the aura of sending out has reached the Late Stage Houtian appearance faintly, on the face the facial expression has some arrogant facial expressions. 此事的他,修为比起以前大有进展,散发的气息隐隐已臻后天后期样子,脸上神情带着些许孤傲神情。 „Senior Brother Jin can come this, is deeply grateful below, invited the seat of honor quickly.” Bai Shi somewhat stood excitedly, moves forward to meet somebody. “金师兄能够赏光来此,在下感激不尽,快请上座。”白石有些激动的站了起来,迎了上去。 Others stood including Blue Phoenix, the facial expression is respectful, only has Shi Mu also motionless sitting on the chair. 其他人包括蓝凤都纷纷站了起来,神情恭敬,只有石牧还一动不动的坐在椅子上。 „Junior Brother Bai was polite, your I am the person of Venerate Spirit Pavilion, this time you and desolate Junior Brother can become Second-Rank Disciple, and wins not the low position, I as recommended you to join the person of Venerate Spirit Pavilion initially, quite feels proudly, naturally must congratulate 12.” Jin Huan is smiling. “白师弟客气了,你我都是尊灵阁之人,此次你和萧师弟能够成为乙级弟子,并取得不低名次,我作为当初引荐你加入尊灵阁之人,也颇感自豪,自然是要来祝贺一二的。”金焕笑着走了过来。 „Senior Brother Jin has been Second-Rank Disciple first 50, this leaps to 16 th, next year the big ratio, must be possible to enter first ten!” Bai Shi said with a smile. “金师兄早就名列乙级弟子前五十名,今次更是一跃至第十六名,明年大比,必可入前十之列了！”白石笑着说道。 Jin Huan laughs, immediately a vision revolution, saw Shi Mu that still sits, complexion sinks slightly. 金焕哈哈一笑,随即目光一转,看到了仍旧坐着的石牧,脸色微微一沉。 „Well, who this Junior Brother is, looks somewhat unfamiliar.” Jin Huan sound somewhat disgruntled saying. “咦,这位师弟是何人,看起来有些面生啊。”金焕声音有些不悦的说道。 When Shi Mu years ago toward border, although in this period has come back several times, but has not had the contact with Jin Huan again, now the whole person makings skin color changed many, Jin Huan has not recognized for a while unexpectedly. 石牧当年前往边境,期间虽然回来过几次,但并未再与金焕有过接触,如今整个人气质肤色都变了不少,金焕一时竟没有认出来。 „Below Shi Mu, it seems like that the Senior Brother Jin honored person forgot the matter, already will give to forget below cleanly.” Saying of Shi Mu faint smile. “在下石牧,看来金师兄贵人多忘事,已经将在下给忘干净了。”石牧似笑非笑的言道。 Jin Huan hears this words, the facial expression is startled, sized up Shi Mu one carefully. 金焕听闻此话,神情一怔,仔细打量了石牧一眼。 „Originally is Junior Brother Shi......, your cultivation base......” Jin Huan complexion suddenly changes. “原来是石师弟……咦,你的修为……”金焕脸色忽的一变。 By his Late Stage Houtian strength, cannot see Shi Mu cultivation base unexpectedly completely. 以他后天后期的实力,竟然完全看不出石牧的修为。 „Cannot think that several years do not see. Junior Brother Shi cultivation base enters greatly, has stepped into Late Stage Realm unexpectedly!” No matter Jin Huan Bai Shi and the others, facial expression serious saying. “想不到几年时间不见。石师弟修为大进,竟已踏入后期境界了！”金焕不管白石等人,神情郑重的说道。 Shi Mu shows a faint smile. Had not acknowledged that also had not denied. 石牧微微一笑。没有承认,也没有否认。 Hears this words. Bai Shi and other people were startled, incredible looks at Shi Mu. 听闻此话。白石等人大吃一惊,不可置信的看着石牧。 They think that Shi Mu slightly is higher than their cultivation base, but never expected that Shi Mu has stepped into Late Stage unexpectedly officially, became the outstanding person in Houtian Warrior. 他们本以为石牧只是比他们修为略高一些,但没想到石牧竟已正式踏入后期,成为后天武者中的佼佼者了。 „Hehe, Brother Shi so deeply concealed, admire.” After several breath, Bai Shi first responded, somewhat reluctant saying with a smile. “呵呵,原来石兄如此深藏不露,佩服佩服。”几个呼吸之后,白石最先反应了过来,有些勉强的笑道。 „Senior Brother Jin. Please sit down seat of honor.” Xiao Ming quickly to the Jin Huan arrangement seat, will then sit in second place Shi Mu, advanced right side Jin Huan. “金师兄。请坐上座。”箫鸣急忙给金焕安排座位,然后将原来坐在次席的石牧,推到了金焕右侧。 Shi Mu declined two, but Xiao Ming and the others repeatedly insisted, has to sit down. 石牧推辞了两下,但是箫鸣等人一再坚持,只好坐下。 „Cannot think that Junior Brother Shi strength progresses such rapidness, is it possible that has a fortuitous encounter in this Barbarian Tribe war?” Jin Huan asked with a smile, arrogant facial expression from the beginning vanished without the trace, the faint some meanings of showing good will. “想不到石师弟实力进展如此之快,莫非是在这次蛮族大战中有所奇遇？”金焕笑着问道,一开始的高傲神情消失无踪,隐隐有些示好之意。 „Senior Brother Jin chatted, some where so many fortuitous encounters, but is quite easy to enter the step below cultivation Cultivation Technique.” Shi Mu naturally cannot divulge the slightest. Is making fun to be perfunctory to say. “金师兄说笑了,哪有那么多奇遇,不过是在下修炼的功法比较容易进阶罢了。”石牧自然不会泄露分毫。打着哈哈敷衍道。 The Jin Huan look fluctuated, naturally listened to Shi Mu to speak insincerely, but has not closely examined. He had inquired what Shi Mu cultivation is easy cultivation Heavenly Elephant wisdom merit. But even if has continuous sufficient Medicine Pill to provide, should still be insufficient the step so quick. 金焕眼神波动了一下,自然听出了石牧言不由衷,不过也没有追问。他早就打听过石牧修炼的是较易修炼的天象般若功。但即便有源源不断的充足丹药提供,应该也不至于进阶如此之快的。 The person of presenting, Bai Shi and Xiao Ming are the people of being fluent and clever, is intentional, the atmosphere lives it up quickly. 在座之人,白石和箫鸣都是口齿伶俐之人,有意为之,气氛很快热闹起来。 In a while, in the front door was shoved open again. 没过多久,雅间大门再一次被人推开。 Seemingly 25 or 26-year-old, the figure is thin and tall, the facial expression solemn youth walked, the people of vision in toward the room swept. 一个看起来二十五六岁,身形瘦高,神情冷峻的青年走了进来,目光朝屋中众人扫了过来。 The people present are startled including Bai Shi and Xiao Ming facial expression. Comes the person they not to know, this meeting has not invited this person. 在座众人包括白石和箫鸣神情都是一怔。来人他们并不认识,这次聚会也没有邀请此人。 However on the opposite party the imposing manner does not reveal. Just like is also a Late Stage Houtian expert. 不过对方身上气势含而不露。俨然也是一名后天后期的高手。 „This Senior Brother, I and others get together in this. Does not know that your excellency came......” Bai Shi first to stand, toward coming the person slightly one cupped one hand in the other across the chest, tone quite polite asking. “这位师兄,我等在此聚会。不知阁下前来……”白石最先站了起来,朝着来人微一拱手,语气颇为客气的问道。 „Originally is leaf the brother.” Has not waited for Bai Shi saying that Jin Huan actually stood, greets submissively with a smile. “原来是叶兄。”未等白石说完,金焕却站了起来,拱手笑着打了个招呼。 „, I said that this was this time greatly compared with Class B 12 Kun Senior Brother, but the manner was low-key, therefore everyone had not possibly known.” Jin Huan to Shi Mu and the others introduced. “诸位,我来介绍一下,这位是此次大比乙级十二名的叶昆师兄,不过为人低调,故而大家可能还不认识。”金焕对石牧等人介绍道。 Bai Shi and the others facial expression one startled, hearing the solemn youth ranks Jin Huan is higher, looked that somewhat is immediately different to the vision of this person. 白石等人神情一惊,听到冷峻青年排名比金焕还高,看向此人的目光顿时有些不同。 „Brother Jin overpraised.” “金兄过誉了。” The solemn youth facial expression is serious in speech and manner, nods to Jin Huan, then put aside the vision, fell on Shi Mu, opened the mouth to ask: 冷峻青年神情不苟言笑,对金焕点了点头,便移开了目光,落在了石牧身上,开口问道: „This does want to come is Shi Mu Junior Brother?” “这位想来便是石牧师弟吧？” „Good, below Shi Mu, dares submit for correction Senior Brother to have what advice?” Shi Mu was somewhat strange, stands to ask. “不错,在下正是石牧,敢问叶师兄有何指教？”石牧有些奇怪,站了起来问道。 „Advises is not at all. I come transmit an imperial command for Sect Leader and elder.” The solemn youth is saying, takes out a command symbol from the bosom, above writes an all various professions small character. “指教不敢当。我来是替掌门和诸位长老传递一个令旨。”冷峻青年说着,从怀中取出一个令符,上面写着一行行蝇头小字。 „Presents the Sect Leader command, in view of the fact that Third-Rank Disciple Shi Mu makes the great merit in the Barbarian Tribe war, will make an exception to allow it to challenge Second-Rank Disciple before the tomorrow's competition at will, if can win can take its, but generation it.” The solemn youth enunciated clear discussing. “奉掌门号令,鉴于丙级弟子石牧在蛮族大战中立下大功,破例允许其可在明日大赛前随意挑战一名乙级弟子,若能获胜便可取其位而代之。”冷峻青年吐字清晰的念道。 Because the news is extremely sudden, Shi Mu gawked slightly, subsequently in heart great happiness. 因为消息太过突然,石牧微微愣了一下,继而心中大喜。 Presenting others is in an uproar, the vision wavers between Shi Mu and solemn youth. 在场其他人更是哗然,目光在石牧和冷峻青年之间游移。 „Shi Mu Junior Brother, the Sect Leader imperial command here, you consider tonight well, tomorrow will give the answer also to be possible again. If you have no intention to participate in tomorrow the big ratio , can Sect Leader explain that cancels.” The solemn youth will make the symbol give Shi Mu, said. “石牧师弟,掌门的令旨在此,你今晚好好斟酌一下,明日再给出答复也可。若是你无意参加明日大比,也可以向掌门说明取消。”冷峻青年将令符递给石牧,说道。 „thank you leaf Senior Brother comes to consider. Since Sect Leader and elder so deep affection, Shi naturally accepts.” Shi Mu waves to make rune/symbol Zhua in the hand, one said toward the opposite party submissively. “多谢叶师兄前来相告。既然掌门和诸位长老如此厚爱,石某自然接受。”石牧挥手将令符抓在手中,朝对方一拱手道。 „Good, since Shi Mu Junior Brother intends to participate, tonight then considers object who a next tomorrow will challenge.” The solemn youth indifferent look of flashed, nods, turns around then to toward outside walk. “好,既然石牧师弟有意参加,今晚便好好考虑一下明日挑战的对象吧。”冷峻青年冷漠的眼神闪了一下,点了点头,转身便要朝着外面走去。 „Does not need to consider, I will then challenge Second-Rank Disciple first Duan Qianli Senior Brother tomorrow.” Shi Mu says directly. “不必考虑了,我明日便挑战乙级弟子第一名的段千里师兄吧。”石牧直接开口说道。 Such remarks, people on the scene in great surprise, dumbfounded looks to Shi Mu. 此言一出,在场众人大惊,目瞪口呆的看向石牧。 The solemn youth is also startled, turns around, deep looked at Shi Mu one. 冷峻青年也吃了一惊,转过身来,深深的看了石牧一眼。 „Good, Junior Brother Shi this words, I will transmit.” He said that then turned around to take a step. “好,石师弟此话,我会传达的。”他说了一句,便转身迈步走了出去。 „Junior Brother Shi, you are......” some Jin Huan facial expression delay, looks at Shi Mu, long time could not speak. “石师弟,你这是……”金焕神情有些呆滞,看着石牧,半晌说不出话。 „Junior Brother Shi, although your strength also achieved Late Stage, but above the arena, Duan Qianli Senior Brother strength you also sees today, his cultivation base is Houtian Great Perfection . Moreover the technique law also arrived at Spirit Rank, did you have confidence seriously?” Bai Shi asked. “石师弟,虽然你实力也达到了后期,但是今日在赛场之上,段千里师兄的实力你也看到了,他的修为已是后天大圆满,而且术法也到了灵阶,你当真有把握？”白石问道。 „Yes, rare Sect this time gives you such good opportunity, might as well challenge others and ensure can attain a Class B the position.” Xiao Ming also persuaded. “是啊,难得宗门这次给你这么好的机会,不如挑战一下其他人,确保能够拿到一个乙级的名次。”箫鸣也劝说道。 „The thank you care, in my heart the idea has decided that coming us first to drink.” Shi Mu smiled, in the tone filled self-confidently. “多谢诸位关心,我心中主意已定,来我们先喝酒吧。”石牧笑了一下,语气中充满了自信。 The people see this, was not good to say anything again. 众人见此,也不好再说什么。 Jin Huan looked at Shi Mu one, starts to speak but hesitates. 金焕看了石牧一眼,欲言又止。 He is somewhat curious, Shi Mu made what great merit in the Barbarian Tribe war, can actually cause Sect Leader and elder does not hesitate to break for it greatly compared with the convention. 他有些好奇,石牧到底在蛮族大战中立下了什么大功,竟然能够使得掌门和诸位长老不惜为其打破大比惯例。 ...... …… Night of time in an instant. 一夜时间转眼即过。 Next day one very early in the morning, Black Demon Sect 5 th, above square between No. a 6 mountain peaks, built a giant arena. 第二天一大清早,黑魔门五号,六号山峰之间的一处广场之上,搭建了一处巨大擂台。 The arena size has near hundred zhang (333 m) fully, four corner/horn towered huge jet black stone pillar, stone pillar above portrayed many rune designs, has rays of light to send out faintly. 擂台大小足有近百丈,四角耸立了一根巨大漆黑石柱,石柱上面刻画了不少符文图案,隐隐有光芒散发出来。 Today is on the greatly compared with last, according to the convention, in the first ten outstanding people by Second-Rank Disciple, challenges ten First-Rank Disciple, everyone only has opportunity a time. 今天已是大比最后一日,按照惯例,由乙级弟子中的前十名佼佼者,挑战十名甲级弟子,每人只有一次机会。 Which Second-Rank Disciple if there is to fight successfully, then can replace the opposite party position, enters the step to Class A true line disciple, henceforth must enjoy the Sect optimal resources, receives Sect to cultivate vigorously. 若是有哪位乙级弟子一战成功,便能取代对方位置,进阶到甲级真传弟子行列,从此得享宗门最优资源,受到宗门大力栽培。 Class A true line disciple strength is extremely strong, in all previous big ratio, little has Second-Rank Disciple to challenge extremely truly successfully, only if there is First-Rank Disciple to enter step Xiantian , becomes the Sect elder, vacates the position. 只是,甲级真传弟子实力极强,历代大比之中,极少有乙级弟子能够真正挑战成功的,除非有甲级弟子进阶先天,成为宗门长老,空出位置来。 In addition, the after challenge of Second-Rank Disciple ended, ten First-Rank Disciple can also challenge mutually, natural law is also same, the winner replaces the position of defeated, so comes out greatly compared with the position, similarly everyone only has challenge opportunity a time. 此外,乙级弟子的挑战结束后,十名甲级弟子也可以互相挑战,规则也都是一样,胜者取代败者之位,如此决出大比名次,同样每个人只有一次挑战机会。 At this moment although in the morning, but almost all gathered at the Black Demon Sect disciples of entrance here, 2,000-3,000 people, encircled the arena nearby fully watertight. 此刻虽然还是清晨,但是几乎所有在山门的黑魔门弟子都聚集在了此处,足有2,000-3,000人,将擂台附近围得水泄不通。 By the arena, towered several feet high black square shape stone tablet, above wrote ten First-Rank Disciple names, from low to high in turn sorting. 擂台旁边,耸立了一座数丈高的黑色方形石碑,上面写了十名甲级弟子的姓名,由低到高依次排序。 stone tablet under is standing ten disciples, the platoon becomes one row, the men and women all have, is impressive, impressively is Houtian Great Perfection cultivation base. 石碑之下站着十名弟子,排成一列,男女皆有,一个个气度不凡,赫然都是后天大圆满修为。 Under the arena, Shi Mu with Bai Shi, Xiao Ming, Jin Huan and the others were standing, chatted with several people at the same time, the vision looked toward that black stone tablet and ten Class A true line disciples. 擂台之下,石牧正和白石,箫鸣,金焕等人站在一起,一边和几人闲谈,目光则朝着那个黑色石碑和十个甲级真传弟子看去。 „Mourning, money bear, Bai Shui show......” “莫宁,钱熊,白水秀……” these is on black stone tablet, ten First-Rank Disciple names. 这些是黑色石碑上,十名甲级弟子的姓名。 Shi Mu knits the brows slightly, he had not paid attention regarding the these person before, even the name is quite strange. 石牧微微皱眉,他以前对于这些人并没有如何关注,连名字都比较陌生。 „Before Junior Brother Shi, in the gate is the close-door self-tortures, to these First-Rank Disciple, understands not many?” Bai Shi noticed the Shi Mu facial expression, said with a smile. “石师弟以前在门中都是闭门苦修,对这些甲级弟子们,了解不多吧？”白石注意到了石牧的神情,笑着说道。 Shi Mu smiled, nods. 石牧笑了一下,点了点头。 „Hehe, namely so, lets give Junior Brother Shi to introduce below simply.” Bai Shi said with a smile. “呵呵,即如此,就让在下给石师弟简单介绍一下吧。”白石笑道。 „Ten Class A true line disciples, first is that man in leftmost, is called Mourning, is counting years ago to achieve Houtian Great Perfection Realm, what cultivation is Water Attribute Cultivation Technique, becoming famous Martial Skill is the hidden Cloud Sword secret art, how it is said the opposite party has the move unable to see him frequently, was defeated.” “十名甲级真传弟子,第一名是最左边的那个男子,叫做莫宁,早在数年前就达到了后天大圆满境界,修炼的是一门水属性功法,成名武技是隐云剑诀,据说对方常常连其如何出招都看不到,便被击败了。” The Shi Mu slight nod, the vision looks to black stone tablet, now a leftmost silver-haired youth. 石牧微微点头,目光看向黑色石碑之下,现在最左边的一个银发青年。 „What second is that black strong guy, the name named money bear, carries the rare rock bloodlines, cultivation by Cultivation Technique of heavy/thick stable healthy name, defense is extremely also strong, endures to compare Monster Beast. Third is the Bai Shui show Senior Sister, is Water Attribute Spirit-Rank Warlock, is a talent that is likely to enter step Star-Rank Warlock......” Bai Shi spoke with confidence, introduced ten Class A true line disciples. “第二名的是那个黑壮大汉,名叫做钱熊,身负罕见的磐石血脉,修炼的也是以厚重稳固健称的功法,防御极强,堪比妖兽。第三名是白水秀师姐,乃是一名水属性的灵阶术士,是本门有望进阶星阶术士的天才……”白石侃侃而谈,将十名甲级真传弟子都介绍了一遍。 Shi Mu nods slowly, the these First-Rank Disciple natural talent is splendid, no wonder can be in a position of true line disciple in Black Demon Sect. 石牧缓缓点头,这些甲级弟子天资都非常出色,难怪在黑魔门中能占据一个真传弟子的位置。 His vision flashes slightly, as if in the heart already has the appearance that anything decided.( To be continued.) 他目光微微闪动,似乎心中已经有了什么决定的样子。(未完待续。)
