„Mayor Liu, this beast mountain sect what's the matter?” Shi Mu asked. “刘镇长,这兽山宗是怎么回事？”石牧问道。 „Oh, is a long story, our Linshan Town actually......” senior mayor shakes the head, walks while returns said. “唉,说来话长,我们临山镇其实……”老镇长摇了摇头,边走边回道。 Through a senior mayor's explanation, Shi Mu finally were for many one point to understand to the central mainland. 通过老镇长的一番讲解,石牧对中心大陆总算多了一分了解。 Originally Linshan Town belongs to eastern part land mountain dynasty a border town of small country Song. 原来临山镇是属于陆山王朝东部的一个小国宋国的一个边陲小镇。 Song Sect beast mountain sect discovered Pi mountain who Linshan Town backs on, actually Spirit Stone mineral lode, therefore then sends people this surroundings to recruit the residents in nearby some small towns, enters the mountain to excavate Spirit Stone. 宋国宗门兽山宗无意间发现了临山镇背靠的邳山,其实有一座灵石矿脉,于是便派人来此周围招募附近的一些小镇的居民,入山采掘灵石。 Because the beast mountain sect regarding walking into the mountain to mine the reward that the person gives is quite high, therefore in the townspeople the young strength is struggling, the small town prospered some time. 由于兽山宗对于进山挖矿之人给出的报酬颇高,所以镇民中青壮力都争着去,小镇着实繁荣了一段时间。 But afterward the small town residents discovered gradually, was sent the person of mining, finally only then partially can return safely, and some people in a while , the metropolis dies a violent death to perish. 但后来小镇居民渐渐发现,被派去挖矿之人,最终只有部分能够安然返回,且这部分人没过多久,也大都会暴毙而亡。 Although beast mountain sect will give not a poor compensation, and increases the reward unceasingly, but a time long time, in the reduction of even more adult male with the town/subdues, did not have the resident to be willing again. 虽然兽山宗会对此给予一笔不菲的补偿,且不断增加报酬,但时间一久,随着镇中男丁的愈发减少,却没有居民愿意再去了。 Recently it is said approached the land mountain dynasty 30 years a time unrivalled magnificent ceremony, Sect of surrounding countries as if needs on tribute large quantities of Spirit Stone, therefore in recent years across Song aggressive mining with a sense of urgency. 最近据说临近陆山王朝三十年一次的旷世盛典,周边国家的宗门似乎都需要上贡大批灵石,所以近几年宋国各地都在紧锣密鼓的抓紧挖矿。 Thereupon, defends the person of this Spiritual Vein then to start regularly sending to come to the town/subdues, with the names of two times of reward, draws the recruit to go to mine. 于是乎,守此灵脉之人便开始隔三差五的派人来镇上,以两倍报酬之名,强拉壮丁前去挖矿。 Because Song is not big, this beast mountain sect in central mainland, although is only small Sect, but has the position in Song, therefore in the town/subdues the person is also appeals impossible. 因为宋国不大,这兽山宗在中心大陆虽然只是个小宗门,但在宋国却颇有地位,所以镇上之人也是上告无门。 ...... …… During the speeches, before two people arrived at a restaurant of two story-high . 说话间,两人来到了一座两层高的饭馆前。 The senior mayor turns the head to look to Shi Mu, sighs, said: 老镇长转头看向石牧,叹了一口气,道: „Stone chivalrous person, the beast mountain sect powerhouse are many. The person who only here guards the mineral lode wants to be fiercer than to the envoy, by obsolete seeing, after you finished eating the food . Leaves Linshan Town as soon as possible!” “石义士,兽山宗的强者很多。仅此处看守矿脉的人就比向使者要厉害许多,以老朽之见,你吃完饭后。还是尽快离开临山镇吧！” „Thanks the mayor good intention.” Shi Mu said. “谢谢镇长好意。”石牧道。 The senior mayor shakes the head, has not said anything again. Directly under the thin and small man supports by the arm enters in the restaurant, Shi Mu also follows closely to enter. 老镇长摇了摇头,没有再多说什么。直接在瘦小男子搀扶下走进饭馆中,石牧也紧随而入。 The restaurant takes a quick look around quite cleanly, but the furniture slightly are worn-out. 饭馆一眼看去颇为干净,但桌椅都略显破旧。 Although is some simple dishes, but Shi Mu has more than half a year well not delicious food, therefore ate to the heart's content with Parrot, big of capacity for food, making the senior mayor be startled big. 虽然都是些家常菜,但石牧已有大半年没好好吃过一顿饭了,于是和鹦鹉大快朵颐了一番,饭量之大,让老镇长吃惊不小。 Finally the senior mayor does not receive the board, Shi Mu has not forced. 最后老镇长坚决不收饭钱,石牧倒也没勉强。 After eating to the heart's content . Under the Shi Mu senior mayor's introduction, good an inn in the town/subdues lived again. 酒足饭饱后。石牧再老镇长的介绍下,在镇上一家不错的客栈住了下来。 The most buildings of inn in town/subdues is the same, made atmosphere quite, what he lives is the best room, going out is a spacious courtyard. 客栈跟镇上的大多数建筑一样,造的颇为大气,他住的是上房,出门就是一个宽大的院子。 Entire courtyard besides front gate, three room, but at this time about two nobody left, therefore the entire yard seems very lonesome and quiet, making Shi Mu quite satisfied. 整个院子除了院门外,共三间房,不过此时左右两间都空无一人,所以整个小院显得非常幽静,让石牧颇为满意。 ...... …… In town/subdues in a quite magnificent courtyard. 镇上一幢颇为华丽的院子之中。 „Father, Sir white will definitely not give up. At the appointed time he walks, this Shi Mu will not be an opponent. This matter gets up because of him, if Sir white vents anger we. Can this should do?” The thin and small man looks sits the senior mayor in chair dull, said. “父亲,白大人肯定不会善罢甘休。到时他找上门来,这个石牧绝不会是对手。此事因他而起,万一白大人迁怒我们。这可如何是好？”瘦小男子看着呆呆坐在椅子中的老镇长,如此说道。 „Wisdom, accepts fate! Our Linshan Town is popular because of the mountain, finally will also perish because of the mountain finally.” The senior mayor of full head white hair shakes the head, heaves a sigh. “智儿,认命吧！我们临山镇因山而兴,最终也终将因山而亡啊。”满头白发的老镇长摇了摇头,唉声叹气道。 „Child has means that can make the this/Ben town/subdues evade this calamity!” Thin and small male eyeball turning round revolution. “孩儿有一个办法,可以让本镇避过此祸！”瘦小男子眼珠滴溜溜一转。 „What means? You......” senior mayor one stood, is pointing at the thin and small man with the hand. “什么办法？难道你……”老镇长一下站了起来,用手指着瘦小男子。 „Father, since Sir white will not let off Shi Mu, we might as well notify to give Sir white its whereabouts on own initiative. Also calculates that indicated the standpoint, they should not investigate this matter. Moreover. I once listened to the person to raise, on Warlock will carry Spirit Stone generally. Since this Shi Mu is Warlock, some body perhaps then many Spirit Stone, when the time comes Sir white one happy, relieves the mining quota of this town/subdues is also not the piece of cake! After all around this is not only then our town/subdues, does not lack our town/subdues these more than ten people.” The thin and small man said. “父亲,既然白大人绝不会放过石牧,我们不如主动将其行踪通报给白大人。也算表明了立场,他们应该不会追究此事了。另外。我曾听人提起过,术士身上一般都会携带灵石。这石牧既然是个术士,身上说不定便有不少灵石,到时候白大人一高兴,免掉本镇的挖矿名额还不是小菜一碟！毕竟这周围又不是只有我们一个镇,不缺我们镇这十几个人。”瘦小男子道。 „It is not good, the matter of repaying good with evil we are undoable, must be dispatched by the day!” A senior mayor denial said. “不行,以怨报德的事我们不能做,必遭天遣！”老镇长一口否定道。 „Father, this matter related to the interests of our entire Linshan Town, in the town/subdues on many mouths did not say, actually with bright mirror, as far as I know, Armin their already went to the ore to notify at heart.” The thin and small man lowers the sound to say. “父亲,这事涉及我们整个临山镇的利益,镇上很多人嘴上不说,心里其实都跟个明镜儿似的,据我所知,阿明他们已经去矿上报信了。”瘦小男子压低声音道。 „You......” senior mayor sit fall on the chair, for a while the illness brought on by the obstruction of flow of vital energy, quite a while could not speak. “你们……”老镇长一屁股坐倒在椅子上,一时气结,半天说不出话来。 The thin and small man sees other senior mayor actions, the corners of the mouth has not shown a faint smile, felt relieved drew back. 瘦小男子见老镇长没有其它举动,嘴角微微一笑,放心的退了出去。 ...... …… On the same day at night, moonlight was bright, entire Linshan Town gorgeous construction surface, like catching a light silvery brilliance. 当天夜晚,月光明亮,整座临山镇本就华美的建筑表面,如同染上了一层淡淡的银辉。 Shi Mu is sitting cross-legged to sit on the bed of guest room at this time, eyes closed cultivation. 石牧此时正在客房的床上盘膝而坐,闭目修炼。 Suddenly, in his heart moves, a picture appears in his mind. 突然,他心中一动,一副画面出现在他脑海中。 Actually is one line of 16 hands with beast robe Martial Artist of long spear/gun, is welling up to enter from the inn front door, a thin and small man and a black skin youth, then timid standing on one side. 却是一行十六个手拿长枪的兽袍武者,正从客栈大门一涌而入,一名瘦小男子和一个黑肤青年,则唯唯诺诺的站在一边。 Shi Mu stands up, shoved open the door to walk directly, calmly stood and waited for a long time in the institute. 石牧站起身来,直接推开房门走了出去,在院中静静伫立。 A moment later, the front gate place person's shadow flashes, a beast robe middle-aged person of tall overwhelming power to/clashes in hospital responsibly. 片刻之后,院门处人影一闪,一个身材高大威猛的兽袍中年人首当其冲的冲入院中。 He sees calmly stands in courtyard central Shi Mu, is first startled slightly, then footsteps one slow, slowly approaches to Shi Mu. 他看到静静站在院子中央的石牧,先是微微一怔,然后脚步一缓,慢慢向石牧逼近。 Its behind person's shadow sways, flooded into 15 beast robe Martial Artist all of a sudden, the well-trained two sides points, compose three small-scale spear/gun quickly, each five people show the plum blossom shape arrangement, surrounded Shi Mu all round. 紧接着,其身后人影攒动,一下子涌入了十五个兽袍武者,训练有素的两边一分,很快组成三个小型枪阵,每阵五人呈梅花状排列,把石牧团团包围了起来。 On the beast robe middle-aged person the aura is powerful, impressively is a Xiantian Early Stage powerhouse. 兽袍中年人身上气息强大,赫然是一名先天初期强者。 But surrounding Shi Mu beast robe Martial Artist, what except for lead is outside three Late Stage Houtian Warrior, other are Middle Stage Martial Artist. 而包围石牧的兽袍武者,除了领头的是三个后天后期武者外,其余都是中期武者。 Shi Mu had previously seen that eyes that slope outwards man, is one of the three taking the lead Late Stage Martial Artist, at this moment is in the Shi Mu behind position. 此前石牧见过的那名三角眼男子,就是三名领头的后期武者之一,此刻正处于石牧身后位置。 „I have never thought that your excellency is Xiantian Warrior, no wonder dares to meddle the matter of our beast mountain sect. Below beast mountain Zongbai few winds, does not know that your excellency honored name, which Sect does stem from?” The beast robe middle-aged person is saying, went forward calmly one step. “真没想到,阁下原来还是个先天武者,难怪敢插手我们兽山宗之事了。在下兽山宗白少风,不知阁下尊姓大名,出自哪个宗门？”兽袍中年人说着,又不动声色的上前了一步。 Hears this word, the eyes that slope outwards man body trembles. 听到此言,三角眼男子身体一颤。 „You won, I told you.” Shi Mu said. “你赢了,我就告诉你。”石牧道。 „Good, said it and meant it!” white Shaofeng laughs to say. “好,一言为定！”白少风大笑道。 Finishes speaking, his right foot stamps, the figure such as the beast of prey brings strong winds generally, threw to Shi Mu. 话音刚落,他右脚一跺,身形如猛兽一般带着一股狂风,向石牧扑了过来。 In his hand on the long spear/gun silver light puts greatly, the spear's/gun's body was covered by a thick silver flowing light instantaneously, then fiercely forward a thorn. 其手中长枪上银光大放,枪身瞬间被一层厚厚的银色流光笼罩,然后猛地向前一刺。 A zhang (3.33 m) permits Chang silver leopard, fled, brings air/Qi of evil spirit both feet from spear head silver light such as flew, dashed to Shi Mu. 一只丈许长的银色豹子,从枪头银光中双足如飞的窜了出来,带着一股凶煞之气,向石牧直扑而来。 Meanwhile, in three spear/gun on everyone lance point is imaginary one group of azure light, then one gathers to the middle, before each spear/gun, appears a azure wolf head of half a Zhang size. 同时,三个枪阵中每人枪尖上都幻出一团青光,然后向中间一合,每一个枪阵前都浮现一个半丈大小的青色狼头。 Then Formation moves, three azure hammers bring „” sound air-splitting, from three faced the Shi Mu converging attack to come, to seal up all escape routes. 然后阵法一动,三个青色狼头就带着“嗤嗤”的破空声,从三面向石牧夹击而来,封住了其所有退路。 Has Shi Mu stands in same place moved, left hand white light one bright, outside the body is protected the shield to cover by lunar white color immediately, simultaneously the right hand moves, the back shadow flashes, the meteoric iron short club presents in his hands, on the short club appears suddenly azure light. 石牧站在原地一动未动,左手白光一亮,体外立刻被一层月白色护盾笼罩,同时右手一动,背后黑影一闪,陨铁短棍就出现在他手中,眨眼间短棍上浮现出一层青光。 Shi Mu wields conveniently, the azure misty stick shadow such as the mountain, pounded toward the wolf head that left spear/gun congealed ruthlessly. 石牧随手一挥,青濛濛棍影如山而出,朝左边一个枪阵凝成的狼头狠狠砸了过去。 Almost at the same time, his first revolution, the opens the mouth spouted five white clouds to right spear/gun continually. 几乎在同一时间,他头一转,张口就对右边的枪阵一连喷出了五道白气。 „Bang” a loud sound. “轰”一声巨响。 The silver leopard hits pale blue protects on the shield, blows out dazzling silver light, pale blue protects of shield in silver light trembles crazily, surface dim several points, but has not actually burst. 银色豹子一撞到月白护盾上,就爆出耀眼的银光,月白护盾在银光中一阵狂颤后,表面黯淡了几分,但却没有破裂。 At this time also hit like mountain Banqing the misty stick shades and five white clouds respectively on the both sides azure hammers. 这时如山般青濛濛棍影和五道白气也分别打在了两侧的青色狼头上。 A series of dull thumping sounds transmit! 一连串闷响传来！ After two wolf head distortions, blasts out loudly, ten Daoist shades like mounting the clouds and riding the mist toward two bank, rolled in abundance fall to the ground, fainted. 两个狼头一阵扭曲后轰然炸开,十道人影如腾云驾雾般朝两侧飞了出去,纷纷滚倒在地,晕厥了过去。 At this time the azure wolf head before last spear/gun, has thrown Shi Mu behind. 此时最后一个枪阵前的青色狼头,已扑到了石牧身后。 „Bang” an explosive! “轰”的一声爆响！ Pale two color rays of light erupt, the wolf head destroys accordingly loudly, the lunar white color protects in the shield the rune circulation, becomes almost transparent, but has not been defeated and dispersed eventually. 青白两色光芒爆发而出,狼头应声轰然溃灭,月白色护盾上符文流转,变得几近透明,但终究没有溃散。 In the meantime, Shi Mu turns around suddenly, mouth, is five white clouds spurts. 就在此时,石牧蓦然一个转身,口一张,又是五道白气一喷而出。 „Bang” a loud sound. “轰”的一阵巨响。 The spear/gun that the eyes that slope outwards male are, because the distance is excessively near, the white air wave that was also exuded shakes the powder, everyone flies upside down, lying this way and that falling on the ground, unconscious. 三角眼男所在的这个枪阵,由于距离过近,也被泛起的白色气浪震散,所有人都倒飞出去,横七竖八的落在地上,不醒人事。 At this moment, Shi Mu detected that a top of the head Formation strength fluctuates, then in midair black light flashes, the surroundings appear baseless a black beast cage, covers in which him instantaneously. 就在这时,石牧察觉到头顶一阵法力波动,接着半空中黑光一闪,周围凭空浮现出一个黑色兽笼,瞬间把他笼罩其中。 Meanwhile, white Shaofeng the figure moves, flushed toward Shi Mu. 同时,白少风身形一动,朝石牧冲了过来。 In his hand on the spear head of long spear/gun the silver glow rises suddenly, the spear head rises suddenly suddenly five times, becoming silver light is shining, suddenly penetrates the black beast cage, punctures toward Shi Mu. 其手中长枪的枪头上银芒暴涨,枪头眨眼间暴涨五倍,变得银光灿灿,蓦然穿透黑色兽笼,朝石牧刺来。 At this time Shi Mu places in the cage, is unable to avoid. 此时石牧身处笼中,根本无法躲避。 In the meantime, in the Shi Mu mouth shouts out „kills!” 就在此时,石牧口中大喝一声“杀！” In his hand on the short club azure light puts immediately greatly, waves, before the body, appears baseless overlapping stick mountain Bangying, forms the azure light mountain that seven fold layer upon layer faintly, moves forward to meet somebody to the giant silver spear head. 其手中短棍上顿时青光大放,一个舞动,身前凭空就浮现出层层叠叠的棍山棒影,隐隐形成七座层层相叠的青光大山,向巨大的银色枪头迎了上去。 The single layer azure light stick mountain and silver spear head touch, the terrifying strength erupted immediately, dazzling azure light shines, the silver spear head shivers fiercely. 第一重青光棍山与银色枪头一触,恐怖的力量顿时爆发了出来,刺目的青光亮起,银色枪头剧烈地颤动起来。 At this moment, the double stick mountain and tertiary stick mountain follows on somebody's heels. 就在这时,第二重棍山和第三重棍山接踵而至。 „Rumble” a loud sound. “轰隆隆”一声巨响。 The giant silver spear head is defeated and dispersed finally, a great strength welled up following the rifle stock, white Shaofeng chest one stuffy, drew back three steps to stop continually. 巨大的银色枪头终于溃散开来,一股巨力顺着枪杆涌了过来,白少风胸口一闷,一连退了三步才停了下来。 Has the black beast cage to prevent luckily, the opposite party is unable to pursue, the remaining four heavy azure light mountains hit completely in the black beast envelop. 幸好有黑色兽笼阻挡,对方无法追击,剩下的四重青光大山全部撞击在黑色兽笼上。 „Bang!
