After a time it takes to burn stick of incense time, Hou Sailei appears the figure from the entrance, nods toward Shi Mu. 一炷香工夫后,侯赛雷从门口现出身形,朝石牧点了点头。 The Shi Mu associative compound, moved sideways with. 石牧会意,闪身跟了进去。 After the moment, Shi Mu appears, in decorated in the quite crude room. 片刻后,石牧出现在了一间装饰较为简陋的房间内。 A potential surface does not need, to wear the middle-aged man of gray long gown to sit on a sandal wood chair white/in vain, the vision has swept from front Shi Mu, returned to nearby Hou Sailei again. 一位面白无须,身着灰色长袍的中年男子坐在一张檀木椅子上,目光从面前的石牧身上扫过,再度回到了一旁的侯赛雷身上。 „Power deacon, this in solemn Senior that below just now said that he subordinated in the Guizhou city divides the altar/jar, with was significant below friendship, this time via the pi city, with chatted below inquired about the going to sea matters concerned. The matter of going to sea undergoes to submit to the Main Altar jurisdiction, remembers the power deacon hand eye direct access to the highest authorities below immediately, in some this Cult Main Altar also many friends, therefore then recommended to manage here to come it.” Hou Sailei arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest toward the wheat flour middle-aged person, flatters greatly. “权执事,这位就是在下方才说的穆前辈,他隶属于黔城分坛,与在下交情匪浅,此次途经郫城,与在下闲聊间询及了出海事宜。出海之事历来归总坛管辖,在下立刻就想起权执事手眼通天,在本教总坛也有不少朋友,所以便将其引荐到执事这里来了。”侯赛雷朝白面中年人拱了拱手,大拍马屁起来。 Shi Mu be with smile on the face arched cupping one hand in the other across the chest to the wheat flour middle-aged person, later took out the Dark Moon command to hand over. 石牧面带微笑的冲白面中年人拱了拱手,随后取出了冥月令递了过去。 He camouflaged oneself Martial Artist aura, but has not concealed own Warlock cultivation base, at this time the whole body sends out Star-Rank Warlock to have Magic Power that to fluctuate faintly. 他将自己的武者气息遮蔽了起来,但并没有掩饰自己的术士修为,此时全身隐隐散发着星阶术士才有的法力波动。 „, Was solemn Fellow Daoist , the fortunate meeting. If I have not guessed that wrong, your excellency is planned that the coastal patrol does hunt for the sea beast?” The wheat flour middle-aged person vision took a look at Dark Moon command in the Shi Mu hand, has not put out a hand to meet. “哦,原来是穆道友,幸会了。若是我没猜错的话,阁下是打算出海巡猎海兽吧？”白面中年人目光瞅了一眼石牧手中的冥月令,没有伸手去接。 „Power deacon bright mirror, that's true.” Shi Mu receives the Dark Moon command, said. “权执事明鉴,确实如此。”石牧将冥月令收起,道。 „Has the coastal patrol to hunt for also had nothing, so long as registers to the Quyang city, then can travel by time teaches to go to sea every two moon/month great boat. However, recently the situation changed, I advised politely your excellency do not go, so as to avoid ran a fruitless errand.” The wheat flour middle-aged person said. “出海巡猎本来倒也没什么,只要到曲阳城登记一下,便可以搭乘教中每两月一次的巨舟出海了。不过嘛,最近情况有变,我奉劝阁下还是不要去了,免得白跑了一趟。”白面中年人说道。 „How did this words say?” Shi Mu is startled. “此话怎讲？”石牧一怔。 „This matter relates to Main Altar the matter of some announcement, was unsuitable to say below.” The wheat flour middle-aged person shakes the head, makes the facial expression that has no alternative. “此事关系到总坛的一些尚未公布之事,在下就不便多说了。”白面中年人摇了摇头,做出一副无可奈何的神情。 „Power Fellow Daoist . This matter to is very important below, if your excellency can direct 12, is deeply grateful below.” Shi Mu fishes out ten Low-Grade Spirit Stone from the dust vast abstention. Places on the table of wheat flour middle-aged person gently. “权道友。此事对在下十分重要,如果阁下能指点一二,在下感激不尽。”石牧从尘渺戒中摸出十枚下品灵石。轻轻放在白面中年人的桌上。 „, This matter not specially secret matter. You are not considered as that the bystander......” wheat flour middle-aged person sleeves strokes gently, front Spirit Stone income sleeve , after slightly hesitates, said calmly, the sound reduced several points. “罢了,此事也不算特别机密之事。你们也不算是外人……”白面中年人衣袖轻轻一拂,不动声色地将面前的灵石收入袖中,略一沉吟后如此说道,声音压低了几分。 Shi Mu and Hou Sailei two people see that approached several points hastily, makes a listening in reverent attention appearance. 石牧与侯赛雷二人见状,连忙凑近了几分,做出一副洗耳恭听的模样。 In the following time, through the wheat flour middle-aged person's narration, two people understood the whole story of matter finally. 接下来的时间里,通过白面中年人的叙述,二人总算明白了事情的原委。 Originally the Dark Moon Church high level recently decided to send people to go to another side of West Sea Western Continent exploration. It is said there cultivation resources are richer than Eastern Continent , in addition, massive Monster Beast lives may for offering sacrifices. 原来冥月教高层最近决定派人前往西海另一边的西贺大陆探索。据说那里修炼资源远比东洲大陆丰富,此外,还有大量的妖兽生灵可供献祭。 However this action quota is limited, after teaching the high level to be discussed that decided that through way of competition , to promote 200 elite disciples, to coordinate this action, in the near future going to sea matters concerned, same suspension. 不过此次行动名额有限,教中高层经过商议后,决定通过比试的方式,来选拨出两百名精英弟子,而为了配合此次行动,近期出海事宜,一律暂停。 Six months later, this election will be held in the Xixia ancient country capital city Quyang city. 半年后,这场大选将在西夏古国都城曲阳城举行。 Before the election is held. Will first hold the primary election in the minute/share of the world of more than ten cities, the pi city is one of the primary election places. 在大选举行之前。会先在十几座城池的分坛举行初选,郫城就是初选地点之一。 A month later, the primary election of pi city will then start. Afterward the winner will go to the Quyang city together. 一个月后,郫城的初选便将开始。随后胜出者将会共同前往曲阳城。 Listens to the wheat flour middle-aged person's explanation, Shi Mu to set out to express gratitude hastily, and after a smalltalk, bringing Hou Sailei to leave the room. 听完白面中年人的解释,石牧连忙起身道谢,并在一番客套后,带着侯赛雷离开了房间。 Quick, two people reappear on some avenue in pi city, at this time on the street the pedestrian were not many. 很快,两人重新出现在郫城的某条大街上,这时街道上行人并不多。 „Regarding this selection, what view you have?” Shi Mu looked at Hou Sailei one, asked. “对于这次选拔,你有什么看法？”石牧看了侯赛雷一眼,问道。 „Solemn did Senior seem like intends to participate in this selection?” Hou Sailei asked. “穆前辈看来是有意参加此次选拔了吧？”侯赛雷问道。 „Good.” Shi Mu nods. “不错。”石牧点点头。 „With all due respect, teaches like the important promotion competition. When preliminary contest will investigate the status strictly, made insufficient depending on Dark Moon merely. Does Senior might as well first join Dark Moon Church?” Hou Sailei goes forward two steps, the low voice suggestion said. “恕我直言,教中像这样重要的选拨比赛。初赛之时都会严格核查身份,仅仅凭冥月令是不够的。前辈不如先加入冥月教吧？”侯赛雷上前两步,小声建议道。 „Joining Dark Moon Church is not so simple?” Shi Mu asked. “加入冥月教并非那么简单吧？”石牧问道。 „Only needs to participate in ceremony that worships Dark Lord. The state of mind on ceremony will receive the baptism.” Hou Sailei said. “只需要参加一个祭拜冥主的仪式。在仪式上神魂将受到洗礼。”侯赛雷道。 „I do not want to join Dark Moon Church. You think again, has had other means?” Shi Mu shakes the head, asks. “我不想加入冥月教。你再想想,有没有别的办法？”石牧摇了摇头,问道。 „Right! According to old times situation, primary election of this kind of competition, although is located in each minute/share of city, but is sent the special envoy to be responsible for supervising by Main Altar directly, this preliminary contest quota is also the matter of special envoy a few words. When the time comes the giving up rights deacon helps make the contacts, is colored Spirit Stone to move, buys the primary election quota directly, is not the difficult matter. So long as can enter the primary election list, when second examination will not investigate the status again.” After Hou Sailei slightly hesitates, opens the mouth to say. “对了！根据往年的情况来看,此类比试的初选虽设在各个分城,但都是由总坛直接派特使来负责监督的,这初赛名额也就是特使一句话的事。到时候让权执事帮忙搭个线,花些灵石活动一下,直接买个初选名额,也不是什么难事。只要能进入初选名单,复试时就不会再核查身份了。”侯赛雷略一沉吟后,重新开口道。 A Shi Mu slightly thinking, nods. 石牧略一思索,点了点头。 In the following time, he brings Hou Sailei, seeks for the residence in the city. 接下来的时间里,他带着侯赛雷,在城中寻找起住所来。 After most double-hour, Shi Mu rented two ordinary guest rooms in the city east inn. 大半个时辰后,石牧在城东一家客栈中租了两间普通客房。 The guest room is not big, but in each room the arrange/cloth has to isolate Divine Sense restrictions, the price is also astonishing, two guest room daily rents, reach as high as 12,000 money unexpectedly. 客房不大,但每一间房间内都布有隔绝神识的禁制,价格也非常惊人,两间客房每天的租金,竟然高达一万两银子。 The so expensive price, has a scare Hou Sailei. 如此昂贵的价格,把侯赛雷吓了一跳。 Then, this is time goes to sea the competition to be related with this. 说起来,这还是和此次出海比试有关。 Although Dark Moon Church Main Altar has not formally announced this matter, perhaps but many people had learned through various types of channels ahead of time some rumors, therefore early then from flooded into these to set up the city of minute/share of arena in all directions. 虽然冥月教总坛尚未正式宣布此事,但不少人恐怕已通过各种渠道提前获知了一些风声,于是早早的便从四面八方涌入这些设立分赛场的城池了。 And is primarily the Dark Moon Church disciple, many some wants teaching that outside gets rich the person. 其中以冥月教弟子为主,也不乏一些想要借此发财的教外人士。 The pi city was not big, now is packed with so many people after all of a sudden, the rooms in all inn became scarce, the price naturally also got up with when production costs rise, prices rise too. 郫城本就不大,如今一下子涌入了这么多人后,所有客栈的房间都变得紧俏了起来,价格自然也就跟着水涨船高起来。 However Shi Mu in the pouch more than ten thousand Spirit Stone, this disbursement has not cared now. 不过石牧如今囊中还有万余灵石,这点支出也就不放在心上了。 Five days later, in the evening. 五天后,傍晚。 In pi city in some remote lane. 郫城之中某个偏僻的巷子里。 A Shi Mu grey robe appearance, stands in a quite ruined residential compound entrance, behind Hou Sailei also similarly so. 石牧一身灰袍打扮,站在一间比较破败的居民大院门口,身后的侯赛雷也同样如此。 Originally two days ago, church member place of Hou Sailei in the city obtains a news. 原来在二天前,侯赛雷在城中教友处得到一个消息。 Because the pi city was packed with lots of people, the good and bad people mixed up, in the city some influence prepares to hold an underground trade fair taking this opportunity, it is said that will present many outside world rare things, after the Shi Mu hear, is naturally interested, therefore had this next best line. 因为郫城涌入了大量的教内教外人士,鱼龙混杂,城中某个势力准备借此机会举办一个地下交易会,据说会出现不少外界难得一见的东西,石牧听后自然颇感兴趣,所以才有了这次之行。 Hou Sailei goes forward to knock on a door directly. Shi Mu at a moderate pace following in his behind. 侯赛雷直接上前敲门。石牧不紧不慢的跟在他身后。 „Thump...... thump...... thump thump thump” two long three short, altogether knocked five. “咚……咚……咚咚咚”二长三短,一共敲了五下。 A moment later, „” an opening the door sound. 片刻之后,“吱呀”一声开门声。 The front gate hit. Is two stark naked upper bodies, second half wears the young men of green trousers. A face stands after the gate vigilantly, sizes up Shi Mu and Hou Sailei. 院门打了开来。是两个精赤上身,下半身穿绿色长裤的青年男子。一脸警惕地站在门后,打量起石牧与侯赛雷。 Shi Mu sweeps in two people with Divine Sense, discovered that two people are Houtian Great Perfection Martial Artist. 石牧用神识在两人身上一扫,发现两人都是后天大圆满的武者。 Has not waited for the green robe youth opens the mouth, Hou Sailei to put out has jade nature token that Magic Power fluctuates together before two people in a flash, two green robe youth complexion one slow, immediately is sideways to make way the path. 还没等绿袍青年开口,侯赛雷拿出一块有法力波动的玉质令牌在两人面前一晃,两个绿袍青年脸色一缓,立刻侧身让开了道路。 After the moment, Shi Mu and Hou Sailei appear in a residential compound underground space, at this time both people were many black robe that has the headgear. Only kept a eyes eyeball to reveal. 片刻后,石牧和侯赛雷出现在居民大院下面的一处地下空间中,此时两人身上都多了一件带有头套的黑色长袍。只留一双眼睛露了出来。 The Shi Mu look moves, about sizes up. 石牧眼神一动,左右打量起来。 Here underground space is quite broad, has the hundred zhang (333 m) size fully, in the middle that stretch of circular open area, suspended a near zhang (3.33 m) stone system long table. 此处地下空间颇为宽阔,足有百丈大小,在中间那片圆形空地上,摆了一张近丈长的石制长桌。 At this time, in secret room had gathered 300-400 people, the aura of many are quite powerful, is Xiantian Warrior, or Star-Rank Warlock. 此时,密室中已聚集了300-400人,不少人身上的气息颇为强大,都是先天武者,或者星阶术士。 However because the cover in black robe in outside the body is quite spacious, and has certainly isolates the Divine Sense effect, therefore has the difference besides the height. Everyone seems like similar. 不过因为罩在体外的黑色长袍比较宽大且有一定隔绝神识的效果,所以除了身高有区别外。所有人看起来都差不多。 Shi Mu arranges quite satisfied. 石牧对此安排颇为满意。 Although here cannot compare with Tian Yu City rising immortal auction scale such, but the powerhouse are also many, a trade fair of meeting. Should have thing that lets his heart movement much. 这里虽然不能跟天虞城的升仙拍卖会那样的规模相比,但强者也不少,一会的交易会。应该会有不少让他心动的东西。 He brings Hou Sailei, looked for a position to sit down in the back row casually, the patience waited. 他带着侯赛雷,随便在后排找了个位置坐下,耐心等待起来。 In half double-hour, comes after one after another 110 people, the underground trade fair finally started. 半个时辰内,陆陆续续又进来百十人后,地下交易会终于开始了。 „, The time was up, Fellow Daoist that should come also arrived, this trade fair starts now.” An old sound after stone system long table made a sound. “咳咳,时间差不多了,该来的道友也都到了,本次交易会现在就开始。”一个苍老的声音从石制长桌后响了起来。 When does not know, after stone Zhichang table, were many a person's shadow of body cover green long gown. 不知什么时候,石制长桌后多了一名身罩绿色长袍的人影。 In underground secret room the discussion of people stopped gradually. In all person eyes reveals the color of rousing, vision simultaneous/uniform Qiwang to the stone system long table. 地下密室中众人的议论声渐渐停了下来。所有人眼中都露出振奋之色,目光齐齐望向石制长桌。 „This trade fair. It‘s nothing limit, rare and precious material, Medicine Pill, Magic Tool, Cultivation Technique and other thing can trade. However all goods can only at the Spirit Stone marked price. During trade fair, everyone only limits to mount the stage one time. So long as the transaction is closed, both parties must 3% of knockdown price take the commission.” Green robe person again opening the mouth middle course. “本次交易会。没什么限制,珍稀材料、丹药、法器、功法等物都可以交易。不过所有物品只能以灵石标价。交易会期间,每人仅限上台一次。只要交易完成,交易双方必须以成交价格的百分之三作为佣金。”绿袍人再次开口中道。 This person finishes speaking, in underground secret room resounds humming sound the discussion. 此人话音刚落,地下密室中就响起嗡嗡议论声。 Shi Mu secret nod. 石牧暗暗点头。 No wonder in the city the influence must hold like this underground trade fair, here has about 500 people, the transaction only recognizes Spirit Stone, and each pen must collect 6% commissions, overnight can perhaps earn not a poor wealth. 难怪城中势力要举办这样的地下交易会,这里有近五百人,交易只认灵石,且每笔都要收取百分之六的佣金,一夜之间恐怕就能赚取一笔不菲的财富。 At this underground trade fair, the organizer can also seize the chance to collect many scarce resources. 况且,在这种地下交易会上,举办方还可以趁机搜罗到不少稀有资源。 However trades at this trade fair, the privacy of buyers and sellers and safe has the guarantee relatively, therefore everyone is also willing to pay this expensive transmission. 不过在这种交易会上交易,买卖双方的隐私和安全都相对有保证,所以大家也愿意支付这种昂贵的交易佣金。 „Fellow Daoist , below impatient, first offered a few ordinary introductory remarks so that others may offer their valuable ideas.” Also without and other discussions subsides, a thin black robe person, figure several rises arrived by stone Zhichang the table. “诸位道友,在下心急,就先抛砖引玉了。”还没等议论声平息,一个身材瘦小的黑袍人,身形几个起落就来到了石制长桌旁。 Following 56 a step person, can only draw back late resentfully. 下面五六个晚了一步的人,只能悻悻的退了回去。 ...... …… After two double-hour, Shi Mu returned to the inn. 两个时辰后,石牧回到了客栈。 At this underground trade fair, «Does Day of Symbol that spreads from Dark Moon Church besides one after», has not appeared lets the thing of it specially regarding as important. 在这次地下交易会中,除了一部从冥月教中流传出来的《乾天符经》外,并没有出现让其特别看重之物。 According to the original master, in this ancient book recorded dozens high level Talisman secret techniques. 据原主人介绍,此典籍中记载了数十种高阶符箓秘术。 By its present Star-Rank Warlock technique law cultivation base, in addition has mystical powers an eye of in addition to hold, has wanted to try high level Talisman. 以其如今星阶术士的术法修为,加之有灵目加持,早就想尝试一下高阶符箓了。 Therefore under a contention, he spent about 1500 hundred Spirit Stone finally, taking at one fell swoop. 于是在一番角逐下,他最终花了近一千五百灵石,将之一举拿下。 This act caused at the scene actually looked askance and laughed much. 此举倒是在现场引起了不少侧目和嗤笑。 After all Talisman Master is ten points burns money the occupation, the back does not have the big Sect support, leans on one's effort, perhaps preliminary Talisman not necessarily can realize continually, with not to mention high level. 毕竟符师是个十分烧钱的职业,背后没有大宗门支持,倚靠一己之力,恐怕连初阶符箓都未必练得成,跟别提高阶的了。 But in Sect has strength to draw the high level symbol high level Talisman Master, will not naturally lack this Talisman ancient book. 而宗门里一些有实力画高阶符的高阶符师,自然是不会缺这种符箓典籍的。 Therefore this Talisman ancient book that spreads from Sect, instead appears some weaks. 于是这种从宗门里流传出来的符箓典籍,反而显得有些鸡肋。 Naturally, many some have one's interest in an old hobby revived upon seeing somebody else doing, or has the generation of collection fondness. 当然,不乏一些见猎心喜,亦或是有收藏癖好之辈。 Shi Mu was converged behind this kind of person by the people obviously. 石牧显然被现场众人归为了后面这一类人。 Shi Mu regarding this naturally is indifferent. 石牧对此自然是无所谓。 He as before deep sleep from bosom Cai'er cautious extraction and places the one side, later sits cross-legged on the wooden bed, will record «Does Day of Symbol after» grey jade pastes in forehead, carefully read.( To be continued.) 他从怀中将依旧沉睡着的彩儿小心翼翼的取出并放在一旁,随后才盘坐在木床上,将记载《乾天符经》的灰色玉简贴在额头,仔细阅读起来。(未完待续。)
