„After that how to look for you?” The Shi Mu brow wrinkled. “那之后怎么找你？”石牧眉头皱了起来。 „this king will also stop over on the 3rd in this, later after then, will leave Western Continent.” Green Ape King said. “本王还会在此逗留三日,随后便后会离开西贺大陆。”苍猿王说道。 „Can west Senior leave celebrates?” Shi Mu somewhat surprise. “前辈要离开西贺？”石牧有几分诧异了。 „Wars between monster and barbarian two clans, already point of no return, but not pure is the wars between monster and barbarian two clans...... this king was old, did not have the energy to help out this many.” Green Ape King superficial returning said. “妖蛮两族之间的大战,已箭在弦上,但却已不单纯是妖蛮两族之间的战争了……本王老了,也没有精力去管顾这许多了。”苍猿王轻描淡写的回道。 „” In the sea of Eastern Continent north side east position, there is a Hailing Island. In the next year, this king there you, you, if thinks that good to walk with me, then goes to there to look for me. However when the time comes, you must teach me Nine Revolution Profound Law first revolution of first half chant. As for latter half chant, when our safe and secure leaves Blue Sea Star, gives me to be able again. Like this is fair to your me, how do you feel? ” “”在东洲大陆北边偏东位置的海上,有一座海灵岛。未来一年时间里,本王会在那里等你,你若想好要和我走,便去那里找我。不过到时候,你须将九转玄功第一转的前半部口诀教给我。至于后半部口诀,等到我们平安离开蓝海星时,再给我便可。这样对你我都公平,你觉得如何？” „Ok.” Shi Mu only considered the moment, nods. “可以。”石牧只思量了片刻,就点了点头。 „, but if one year later, you have not come, this king not multi- your day. Frankly, on this king has Old Ancestor blood essence that the ancestor spreads, similarly is also worried to draw on the retaliation of Old Ancestor enemy. Therefore, no matter at the appointed time has you, this king must leave Blue Sea Star. Goes to other star territory, perhaps I can also find the law of other continuing life.” Green Ape King looked at Shi Mu one, added. “但若一年之后,你没有如约而至,本王也不会多等你一天。实不相瞒,本王身上既有祖上流传下来的老祖精血,同样也担心招来老祖对头的报复。所以,到时不管有没有你,本王都要离开蓝海星。去别的星域,我或许还能找到别的续命之法。”苍猿王看了石牧一眼,补充道。 „Good, I know that the determination of Senior, the younger generation also had the matter in the body, were not many keeps Senior.” Returning that Shi Mu shows neither approval nor disapproval said that after holding the fist in the other hand, turned around to leave. “好,我知道前辈的决心了,晚辈还有事在身,就不多留前辈了。”石牧不置可否的回道,一抱拳后,就转身离开了。 Green Ape King looks at the back that Shi Mu is departing, suddenly complexion one white, then bends the waist, coughs suddenly. 苍猿王望着石牧离去的背影,突然面色一白,接着一弯腰,急剧咳嗽起来。 ...... …… Six months later. 半年后。 Eastern Continent , Xixia ancient country old, in Quyang city. 东洲大陆,西夏古国旧都,曲阳城中。 Wears bamboo hat, wears the tall and straight man of grey robe, walks on the street in city. 一个头戴斗笠,身着灰袍的挺拔男子,走在城内的街道上。 By the street is completely some raging fire burning down from now on remnants of destroyed buildings, on the room roofs of many collapsing, already gave birth to a thick moss. 街道两旁尽是些烈火焚烧过后的残垣断壁,不少垮塌的房屋顶上,已经生出了一层厚厚的青苔。 In many courtyards of collapse grew the high and low trees, some root system developed bushes, even already extended the path center the rhizome, haunched the large packages of blowing up the road surface. 许多倒塌的院落里都长出了高高低低的树木,有些根系发达的灌木,甚至已经将根茎延伸到了道路中央,将路面撑起一个个鼓起的大包。 The step of bamboo hat man steps is not big, walked strange quick actually, less than half quarter, passed through several streets. 斗笠男子的步子迈的不大,走的却奇快,半刻钟不到,就走过了数条街。 However this all the way, is actually the pedestrian few. 然而这一路上,却是行人寥寥。 Walked toward the inner city, the situation of street was good, many buildings looked is then newly-built, by the street often can see all kinds of small store fronts, passes business the guest not to know that in inside unconsciously were many. 往内城走了一些,街道的情况才好了一些,不少房屋建筑一看便是新建的,街道两旁不时能看到各式各样的小铺面,在里面流转的商客也不知不觉多了起来。 The street vendors'cries of various voices resounds along the street, added a point vitality/angry for this by devastated old city, but counts years ago that lively scene, was eventually impossible to say goodbye. 沿街响起的各种口音的叫卖声,为这座饱受摧残的古城添了一点生气,只是数年前的那副繁华景象,终究是不可能再见了。 The bamboo hat man has not gotten up in the street excessively stays, arrived at Dongcheng District directly. 斗笠男子没有在街上过多停留,径直来到了东城区。 Mentioned strangely, the scene of Dongcheng District must walk other blocks that came to see to arrive at is quite more than this, in the city surrounding somewhat broken construction, to the central location, unexpectedly with that disaster beforehand appearance, was almost only exactly the same. 说来奇怪,东城区的景象要远比这一路走来看到的其他街区好不少,只在城区外围有些残破的建筑,到了中心位置,竟和那场劫难之前的样子,几乎一模一样。 Like that flames of war has not affected here to be the same. 就如同,那场战火并没有波及此处一样。 Arrives at western Dongcheng District Kuang street, that big conspicuous construction heaves in sight immediately, the pavilion above is hanging a big plaque, submits a written statement to „day Wu Shangpu”. 来到东城区西匡街,那座高大显眼的建筑就立刻映入眼帘,楼阁上方挂着一块大匾,上书“天吴商铺”。 The bamboo hat man strides to enter that pavilion, in the building many customers, 2-3 waiters have not been making the manual labor on hand respectively. 斗笠男子跨步走进那座楼阁,楼内并没有多少顾客,2-3伙计正各自做着手上的活计。 „Meets the Spirit Tool spirit material to have it all vulgarly, does not know that what the mister you do need?” A young manager sees the guest to be in front of the goal, immediately moves forward to meet somebody, on the face piles up with the happy expression to say. “鄙会灵器灵材一应俱全,不知先生您需要点什么？”一名年轻的管事见有客临门,立即迎了上去,脸上堆满笑意说道。 „Leads me to see Grandmaster Xu Luzi troublesome.” The bamboo hat man said. “麻烦带我去见徐鲁子大师。”斗笠男人说道。 „Really sorry, slow Elder is closing up in the refining room at this moment, if your excellency has what demand, may by transmit below.” That manager took a look at a present man up and down, smiles was saying. “实在抱歉,徐长老此刻正在炼器房闭关,阁下若有什么需求,可由在下代为传达。”那管事上下打量了一下眼前的男子,微笑着说道。 The bamboo hat man does not have two words, the single-handed turn over, in the palm were many a thing. 斗笠男子也没二话,单手一翻转,手心上就多了一件事物。 That is together the glittering and translucent carving orange jade sign, above inscribes eight eight monster designs, lifelike. 那是一块晶莹剔透的橙色玉牌,上面铭刻着一只八首八面的怪物图案,活灵活现。 „Originally is the distinguished guest your honorable self visits, was disrespectful below. Your excellency waits a bit, my notifies.” That young manager vision sweeps, complexion changes, said hastily. “原来是贵宾大驾光临,在下失礼了。阁下稍等,我这就去通报一下。”那名年轻管事目光一扫,面色一变,连忙说道。 After the moment, the bamboo hat man under that young effective leadership, arrived at the store three buildings, in. 片刻后,斗笠男人在那名年轻管事的带领下,来到了商铺三楼,一间雅间之中。 In arranges simply, before three packs of screens that trace a design in gold is putting a round table, wears Xu Luzi of azure robe to sit at the round table drinks tea. 雅间内陈设简单,描金的三叠屏风前放着一张圆桌,身着青袍的徐鲁子正坐在圆桌旁喝茶。 „Does not know that who your excellency is, sees the old man to do?” Xu Luzi sees the person, has not set out, after carrying the teacup to sip one, opened the mouth to ask. “不知阁下是何人,来见老夫有何贵干？”徐鲁子一见来人,也没有起身,端着茶杯抿了一口后,才开口问道。 That wears the bamboo hat man to stand before the body, has not spoken. 那戴斗笠的男子站在身前,却并没有说话。 Xu Luzi waves, that young effective associative compound, walked, closed the door. 徐鲁子挥了挥手,那名年轻的管事会意,走了出去,关上了房门。 Door „” closes, does not wait for Xu Luzi to open the mouth again, male already takes down head bamboo hat, reveals a facial features distinct contour, the skin slightly dark youth face. 房门“吱呀”一声关上,不等徐鲁子再度开口,那男子已经取下头上的斗笠,露出一张五官轮廓分明,皮肤略显黝黑的青年脸庞。 „Shi Mu!” Xu Luzi is startled slightly, immediately blurted out. “石牧！”徐鲁子微微一怔,随即脱口而出道。 „Has not thought that many years do not see, Grandmaster slow can also remember below. Does not know that the Grandmaster can be good recently?” Shi Mu asked with a smile. “没想到多年不见,徐大师还能记得在下。不知大师近来可好？”石牧笑着问道。 „Hehe, mediocre. Well, never expected that Fellow Daoist Shi cultivation base progresses rapidly, has so entered step Earth Rank unexpectedly.” Xu Luzi just wants to say anything, suddenly light well. “呵呵,不好不坏吧。咦,没想到石道友修为进展如此迅速,竟已进阶地阶。”徐鲁子刚想开口说什么,突然轻咦了一声。 „After below leaves Eastern Continent , came across some fortuitous encounters, is the luck.” Shi Mu hit haha to say. “在下离开东洲大陆后,遇到了一些奇遇,也算是运气吧。”石牧打了个哈哈道。 Actually what he has not said that oneself this less than half year, as a result of the reason of Green Ape King that words, the state of mind were greatly affected recently, therefore Scarlet Ape Fire Scripture is unable breakthrough tenth, otherwise has Intermediate Stage Earth Rank at this moment. 其实他没说的是,自己最近这小半年来,由于苍猿王那番话的缘故,心境大受影响,故而赤猿火经迟迟无法突破第十层,否则此刻早已有地阶中期了。 „Fellow Daoist Shi was modest, as the saying goes, the so-called luck is also a part of strength., Here sat down to say.” Xu Luzi saw Shi Mu not to say, had not asked, greeted him to sit down hastily. “石道友过谦了,有道是,所谓运气也是实力的一部分。来来来,这边坐下说。”徐鲁子见石牧不愿多说,也没多问,连忙招呼他坐下。 „Grandmaster slow, this time comes, actually wants to inquire a news of person to you.” After Shi Mu sits down, says. “徐大师,此次前来,其实是想向您打听一个人的消息。”石牧坐下后,开口说道。 „What person?” Xu Luzi asked. “什么人？”徐鲁子问道。 „Zhong Xiu.” Shi Mu said. “钟秀。”石牧说道。 „What you said is Elder Zhong?” The Xu Luzi brow selects, asks. “你说的是钟长老吧？”徐鲁子眉头一挑,问道。 „, Grandmaster can here have her news?” Shi Mu said. “正是,大师这里可有她的消息？”石牧说道。 The Xu Luzi hear, actually shakes the head directly. 徐鲁子听罢,却直接摇了摇头。 „Also asked Grandmaster slow to consider, regardless of must spend many prices, is willing to pay below.” Shi Mu said submissively. “还请徐大师相告,不论要花费多少代价,在下都愿意付出。”石牧拱手说道。 „Franking, is not the old man is not willing to inform in you, but the chamber of commerce actually also wants to learn of her news urgently.” Xu Luzi sighed to say. “实不相瞒,并非老夫不肯告知于你,只是商会其实也迫切想要得知她的消息。”徐鲁子叹了口气说道。 „Even your Heavenly Wu Merchant Association proliferates the information network of entire mainland, doesn't know her whereabouts information?” Shi Mu asked. “连你们天吴商会遍布整个大陆的情报网络,也不知道她的行踪信息？”石牧问道。 „Old man truth. Then, Elder Zhong latent talent is uncommon, is the chamber of commerce takes seriously the person. It performs many meritorious services during Western Continent for the chamber of commerce, once had the news to spread, the association president must conduct to it vigorously trains, intends to make him be Special Envoy Monster Race, later then makes it lead the Green Dawn City auction.” Xu Luzi is saying, looked toward Shi Mu. “老夫句句实言。说起来,钟长老资质不凡,是商会十分重视之人。其在西贺大陆期间为商会立下不少功勋,曾有消息传出,会长要对其进行大力培养,有意让其担任妖族特使,随后便让其主导苍旭城拍卖会。”徐鲁子说着,朝石牧这边看了过来。 „Good, during auction, Zhong Xiu truly with me in the same place.” Shi Mu said. “不错,在拍卖会期间,钟秀的确实和我在一起。”石牧说道。 „Un, finally after the auction in a while, Elder Zhong was missing strangely. At that time in the meeting some people guessed that this matter was perhaps related with you. Has not actually thought, later in a while, the chamber of commerce spreads the news, said that you were also missing.” Xu Luzi asked. “嗯,结果在拍卖会后没过多久,钟长老就离奇失踪了。那时候会里有人猜测此事或许与你有关。却不曾想,之后没过多久,商会又传来消息,说你也失踪了。”徐鲁子问道。 „Is it possible that Grandmaster slow also believes that the matter of Zhong Xiu missing, in below related?” Shi Mu said. “徐大师莫非也认为,钟秀失踪之事,与在下有关吗？”石牧说道。 „Hehe, after this matter chamber of commerce verifies, has removed your suspicion. Is open about the facts Fellow Daoist Shi, during Elder Zhong and chamber of commerce agreement, regardless of it places where, vulgar will have the means to find out by secret inquiry her position through the secret technique, this act original intention for the security concern.” Xu Luzi beckons with the hand to say. “呵呵,此事商会核实后,早已排除你的嫌疑了。不瞒石道友,在钟长老与商会协议期间,不论其身处何处,鄙会都有办法通过秘术探知到她的方位,此举本意是为了安全考虑。”徐鲁子摆了摆手道。 „Can you have her present exact location?” The Shi Mu brow tip selects, asked hastily. “那你们可有她如今的确切位置？”石牧眉梢一挑,连忙问道。 „After Elder Zhong is missing, at the meeting has then attempted to use the secret technique to seek repeatedly, finally was a trail had not actually found. Elder Zhong looked like from this world evaporated generally.” Xu Luzi shakes the head to say. “钟长老失踪之后,会中便已多次尝试使用秘术寻找,结果却是一点踪迹都没找到。钟长老就像是从这世间蒸发了一般。”徐鲁子摇了摇头道。 „When actually, Zhong Xiu is missing, I side her.” Shi Mu slightly one silent, later said. “其实,钟秀失踪之时,我就在她身边。”石牧略一沉默,随后如此说道。 „What? What did that exactly have at that time?” Xu Luzi is startled. “什么？那当时到底发生了什么？”徐鲁子一惊。 „On the same day, Zhong Xiu fell into the stupor suddenly, the whole body feels hot, after the moment, ignited flaming Raging Flames. I want to save her, was actually encumbered by the flame, anti- high-temperature faint in the past. After waking up, Zhong Xiu disappears.” Shi Mu knits the brows, silent long time, says. “当日,钟秀突然陷入昏迷,浑身发烫,片刻后身上就燃起了熊熊烈焰。我想救她,却也被火焰缠身,耐不过高温昏厥了过去。醒来之后,钟秀就不见了。”石牧皱了皱眉,沉默了半晌,还是开口说道。 Shi Mu the same day situation will roughly say to Xu Luzi, is only matter about the self-absorption flame, has not naturally mentioned. 石牧将当日的情况大致都跟徐鲁子说了一遍,只是关于自己吸收火焰之事,自然没有提及。 „Has this matter unexpectedly......” Xu Luzi hears word, a brow wrinkle, fell into thinking deeply. “竟有此事……”徐鲁子闻言,眉头一皱,陷入了深思。 „Right, during my stupor, but also comes across a strange matter.” Shi Mu said. “对了,在我昏迷期间,还遇到个怪事。”石牧说道。 „What strange matter?” Xu Luzi asked. “什么怪事？”徐鲁子问道。 „After the faint, I blurry had once heard a voice of strange female, and listened to her to mention what Heavenly Phoenix indistinctly, as well as what backlash. However I was at half dusk half awaking condition at that time, does not listen clearly.” Shi Mu said. “昏厥以后,我迷迷糊糊中曾听到过一个陌生女子的声音,并隐约听她提到了什么天凤,以及什么反噬。不过我当时处于半昏半醒状态,听不真切。”石牧说道。 „According to the old man sees, Elder Zhong she possibly two times was the strength in within the body bloodlines has to awaken.” Xu Luzi listened to the Shi Mu words, hesitated a while to say. “依老夫所见,钟长老她可能是体内血脉之力产生了二次觉醒。”徐鲁子听了石牧的话,沉吟了一会儿才开口说道。 „Do awaken two times?” Shi Mu is startled. “二次觉醒？”石牧一怔。 „So-called bloodlines awaken two times, the produced reason is quite complex, mostly is, in the primary bloodlines awaken the strength of bloodlines stimulates insufficient thorough. However according to Elder Zhong this time situation, the bloodlines of its within the body, perhaps is not Phoenix Song Bloodline.” slow Zilu said. “所谓血脉二次觉醒,产生的原因颇为复杂,大多是因为在初次血脉觉醒时血脉之力激发的不够透彻。不过照钟长老这次的情形来看,其体内的血脉,恐怕并非是凤音血脉。”徐子鲁说道。 „It is not Phoenix Song Bloodline, what is that?” Shi Mu asked. “不是凤音血脉,那是什么？”石牧问道。 „This Third Grade Phoenix Song Bloodline, although is also commonly the rare bloodlines that is difficult to see, when awakening not being the extent that bad risk, unifies that mysterious strange female saying that Elder Zhong awakened mostly the top grade bloodlines in legend ‚Heavenly Phoenix’, only then the bloodlines of this grade of level, can draw on many phenomenon, making the person of awakening fall into the dangerous situation of a narrow escape.” Xu Luzi said. “这三品凤音血脉虽然也是寻常难见的稀有血脉,但觉醒之时绝不至于如此凶险,结合那神秘陌生女子所言,钟长老多半是觉醒了传说中的极品血脉‘天凤’,也只有这等层次的血脉,才能招来诸多异象,令觉醒之人陷入九死一生的险境。”徐鲁子说道。 „Heavenly Phoenix bloodlines? Does not know how many Grandmaster slow does have to know to this bloodlines?” Shi Mu looking pensive moment, asked.( To be continued.) “天凤血脉？不知徐大师对这一血脉有多少认识？”石牧若有所思了片刻,又问道。(未完待续。)
