Six months later. 半年后。 Azure Orchid Holy Land Yellow Rank Area, on some west barren hill, standing that a tall and strong Human Race youth who wears the azure garment, both eyes shuts tightly there. 青兰圣地黄阶区域,最西侧某片荒山上,一个身着青衫的魁梧人族青年,正双目紧闭的立在那里。 The figure is tall and straight, points to the blue dome of heaven like a javelin, the facial features are bright, the face edges and corners are distinct, is Shi Mu. 其身形挺拔笔直,如同一杆标枪般直指苍穹,眉眼疏朗,脸庞棱角分明,正是石牧。 In his body side, but also sets up one almost to be equal to his height, thick such as the black pleasant wrought iron long stick of small arm. 在他身侧,还立着一根几乎与他身高等同,粗如小臂的黑色如意镔铁长棍。 Long time, Shi Mu eyes opens suddenly, in the eye light golden glow shows indistinctly, but is fleeting, vague air current vortex forms in its surroundings slowly. 半晌,石牧双眼豁然睁开,目中一丝淡淡金芒从中隐约透出,但稍纵即逝,一股若有若无的气流漩涡在其周围缓缓形成。 The Shi Mu single arm stretches out, holds Ruyi Staff, the full point kicks bottom of the long stick gently, a stick body end then, his another arm lifts vividly, long stick even lift/move in hand. 石牧单臂伸出,一把抓住如意棍,足尖在长棍底端轻轻一踢,棍身一端便跃然而起,其另一只手臂一抬,将长棍平举在手中。 Sees only his both hands to grasp the stick, the both arms rotation, delimits circles in midair, the naked eye obvious white cyclone, gushes out from that circle together. 只见其双手握棍,双臂转动,在半空之中划出一个个圆圈,一道肉眼可见的白色气旋,就从那圆圈之中喷薄而出。 That cyclone speed is not really at first fast, as in the Shi Mu hand the movement speeds up, that cyclone then revolves rapidly, before long then formed one like water jar thick or thin white dragon scroll. 起初那股气旋速度并不甚快,但随着石牧手中动作加快,那股气旋便飞速旋转起来,不一会儿便形成了一道如同水缸粗细般的白色龙卷。 A white dragon Juangang formation, near the Shi Mu foot sand and crushed stone is shivering freely the float, was entered by that white dragon air engulfment in abundance. 白色龙卷刚一形成,石牧脚边的砂石便不住地颤动着漂浮而起,纷纷被那白色龙卷吸入其中。 At this moment, Shi Mu actually receives the long stick suddenly, steps forward forward one step, subsequently grips tightly Ruyi Staff to hold suddenly forward. 就在这时,石牧却突然将长棍一收,向前跨出一步,继而紧握如意棍猛然向前捅去。 „Hū!” A sound. “呼！”的一声响。 That say/way is coercing innumerable sand dust white dragon scroll, is then ordinary like a white spirit snake, gushes out from the Ruyi Staff peak, shoots at hundred zhang (333 m) the hill top outside of dozens zhang (3.33 m) height directly. 那道裹挟着无数沙尘的白色龙卷,便如同一道白色的灵蛇一般,从如意棍顶端喷薄而出,径直射向百丈外的一座数十丈高矮的小山头。 „Bang” an explosive! “轰”的一声爆响！ That hill top blasts open under the white spirit snake impact loudly, the white spirit snake changes into the innumerable air waves, the quarry stone that will flutter about stirred the fragment powder. 那座小山头在白色灵蛇冲击下轰然炸裂,白色灵蛇化为无数气浪,将纷飞的乱石搅成了齑粉。 This move of named „Spirit Snake Leaving Cave”, gathers True Qi in Gunjian, uses the whole body great strength instantaneous stick to dispatch, just like the spirit snake air wave that raises to rumble to break to pieces all instantaneously, was somewhat similar to initially technique law together „Qi Bursting Technique”. 这一招名为“灵蛇出洞”,蓄真气于棍尖,利用全身巨力瞬间一棍递出,掀起的犹如灵蛇般气浪可以瞬间轰碎一切,有些类似于当初术法一道中的“气爆术”。 After that stick dispatches, Shi Mu has not stood still, but receives the stick suddenly, sweeps in the whole body, subsequently the stick point at the body previous point, leaps the step to jump out greatly forward, the whole person then flying plunges into midair. 那一棍递出之后,石牧并未停歇,而是骤然收棍,在周身一扫,继而棍尖在身前一点,一个大跃步向前窜出,整个人便飞身跳入半空。 Ruyi Staff that falls on behind, was towed to entrain by him, subsequently from behind before the body brandished Great Perfection, pounds down suddenly. 那根落在身后的如意棍,被他拖拽而起,继而从身后至身前抡了一个大圆满,骤然砸下。 This used with White Ape initially Heaven Shattering Staff hits gold/metal flood dragon that strikes extremely similarly, was only in the imposing manner weak many. 这一幕与白猿当初使用翻天棍打金蛟的那一击极为相似,只是气势上弱了不少。 However, Shi Mu this stick has not landed on feet layer on layer/heavily, but in one strokes in the air. 不过,石牧这一棍并未重重落到实处,而是在一下击打在空气之中。 „Bang!” “嘭！” Only listens to the air to transmit a depressed fulmination, sees the Shi Mu figure with the strength of this counter- shaking, selects for promotion dozens zhang (3.33 m) suddenly. 只听空气中传来一声沉闷的爆鸣,就见石牧的身形借着这反震之力,骤然拔升数十丈。 In dozens zhang (3.33 m) upper air, but sees in its golden glow to flash again, the whole person retroversion like the bow, that Ruyi Staff was then being gripped tightly by his both hands, from behind brandishes before the body suddenly, fiercely suddenly/violently to strike under. 数十丈的高空之中,但见其眼中金芒再度一闪,整个人向后弯曲如弓,那根如意棍便被他双手紧握着,从身后骤然抡至身前,猛地暴击而下。 The howling wind sound/rumor resounds in the ear of Shi Mu, when friction of that Ruyi Staff unceasingly under air, from ground less than ten zhang (3.33 m) distance, stick body „shouting”, twined the flaming flame. 呼啸的风声在石牧的耳边响起,那根如意棍在空气中不断摩擦下,在距离地面不足十丈距离时,棍身“呼”的一下,缠绕起了熊熊火焰。 „Rumble!” “轰隆隆！” Contains thousand honored here Ruyi Staff to smash into the ground loudly, making the under foot land shake suddenly greatly, innumerable mist and dust air waves **** however gets up, filled the range in a circumference of several miles instantaneously. 蕴含千钧这里的如意棍轰然砸入地面,使得脚下大地为之猛然巨震,无数烟尘气浪****而起,瞬间就弥漫了方圆数里的范围。 „Ka ka” the sound gets up! “咔咔”之声响起！ The ground gives birth to the innumerable say/way cracks suddenly, toward spreads to open like the spider web generally in all directions, the land seems like slivered the innumerable tofu to be the same, the disruption, caves in loudly subsequently. 地面骤然生出无数道裂纹,如同蛛网一般朝着四面八方蔓延而开,大地就像是被切成无数块的豆腐一般,轰然碎裂,继而塌陷下去。 But Shi Mu in the fall of ground previous quarter, jumps to return, in midair turned a somersault, the full bottom suddenly appears white cloud, supports its figure. 而石牧则在地面塌陷前一刻,纵身而回,在半空中翻了一个跟头后,足底蓦然浮现一朵白色气云,托住其身形。 A moment later, the under billowing mist and dust diverges, the Shi Mu vision sweeps, discovered the mountain range landform that under fluctuated, this moment already caved in one surrounding area several li (0.5 km), giant pothole of middle concave, the innumerable crushed stones, are tumbling toward the middle unceasingly. 片刻之后,下方滚滚烟尘散去,石牧目光一扫下,发现下方原本稍带起伏的山峦地貌,此刻已经塌陷成了一座方圆数里,中间内凹的巨大坑洞,其中还有无数碎石,正在不断朝中间滚落。 Shi Mu sees this, nods, on the face revealed the color of satisfaction. 石牧见此,点点头,脸上露出了满意之色。 Even he has not thought, a moment ago under that move „apes and monkeys rock climbing” and „Goshawk Overcasting Head” came in handy, can achieve so strong destructive power unexpectedly. 连他也没想到,刚才那一招“猿猱攀岩”和“苍鹰盖顶”合用之下,竟能达到如此强大的破坏力。 If oneself mortal body strength goes a step further again, that apes and monkeys rock climbing can display continuously twice, this Goshawk Overcasting Head might, decides to rise again time. 若是自己肉身实力再进一步,那猿猱攀岩便可连续施展两次,这苍鹰盖顶的威力,也定能再翻上倍许。 In the half year laborious study, has not wasted finally, the exceedingly high 18 sticks are divided into the first eight types, with the latter ten types, each move of each type back and forth seems like very simple, but each move is powerful, until now Shi Mu is only also skillful to the first eight type uses, the latter ten types relatively are more unfamiliar. 这半年来的辛苦修习,总算没有白费,通天十八棍分为前八式,和后十式,每招每式来来回回看似十分简单,但每一招都气势十足,至今为止石牧也只对前八式使用纯熟,后十式则相对生疏一些。 In first eight types, except for „Spirit Snake Leaving Cave”, „apes and monkeys rock climbing” and „Goshawk Overcasting Head” outside, „Weary Bird Aware to Retreat” and „Tiger-Bull Breaking Cage” and „Piercing Dragon Overturning River” and „Wild Dragon Chaotic Dance” and other moves, all are the might are peerless, magnificent killing incurs. 前八式中,除了刚才的“灵蛇出洞”,“猿猱攀岩”和“苍鹰盖顶”外,还有“倦鸟知返”、“虎兕出柙”、“擘蛟翻江”、“狂龙乱舞”等几招,无一不是威力绝伦,气壮山河的杀招。 And, that „Weary Bird Aware to Retreat” sounds, somewhat is similar the back thrust in marksmanship, but in fact is actually completely different. 其中,那“倦鸟知返”听起来,有些类似于枪法中的回马枪,但实际上却是完全不同。 This type, ejects the long stick maneuver, circles to enemy behind, subsequently the hauling returns suddenly, unexpectedly, injures the enemy in invisible. 这一式,是将长棍回旋抛出,绕至敌人身后,继而骤然牵引而回,出其不意,伤敌于无形。 This Ruyi Staff weight size may by the heart, be able to achieve silent light-body completely, then or light or heavy fast returns, when opposes the enemy, deciding to play the unexpected effect. 这如意棍轻重大小可全部由心,可以做到无声无息的轻身而出,而后或轻或重的迅捷而回,临阵对敌时,定能起到意想不到的效果。 But that „Piercing Dragon Overturning River”, is actually uses in the Martial Artist hand the long stick weight and a great strength, the high and low change, rolls up and pushes along directly nearby world Origin Energy, enables to hold stick to be similar to river Flood Dragon to be the same, before being turbulent to/clashes, sweeps away all obstacles. 而那“擘蛟翻江”,却是利用武者手中长棍重量及一身巨力,上下翻动,直接卷动附近天地元气,使得持棍者如同出江蛟龙一般,汹涌前冲,所向披靡。 As for other styles, each has his good points, through practice unceasingly, under skilled ingenious combination, but can also harvest the unexpected effect. 至于其他招式,也都各有千秋,通过不断练习,熟练巧妙组合下,还能收获意想不到的效果。 Receives Ruyi Supreme Iron Stick, the Shi Mu also not breathing one breath, saw Cai'er to clash from midair hastily. 收起如意镔铁棍,石牧还未喘一口气,就看见彩儿急急火火地从半空之中冲了下来。 „It is not good, Shi Tou (stone), the important matter is not good......” in the Cai'er mouth to yell, stumbles in his shoulder. “不好了,石头,大事不好了……”彩儿口中大叫着,跌撞在他的肩头。 „Said slowly, what's the matter?” Shi Mu asked. “慢慢说,怎么回事？”石牧问道。 „Shi Tou (stone) you do not make me pay attention, with air/Qi spirit material related the news of containing Extreme Yin, I hears from that simultaneous/uniform Fatty here today, the air/Qi of Extreme Yin rises in prices!” Cai'er said. “石头你不是让俺多留意一下,与含有极阴之气的灵材有关的消息嘛,今天俺从那个齐胖子这里听说,极阴之气涨价啦！”彩儿说道。 „How many to rise?” A Shi Mu brow wrinkle, asked. “涨了多少？”石牧眉头一皱,问道。 „This...... I had not asked, listened to his such saying, this did not tell you hastily, could not have attended to inquired thin. However according to me the understanding that Fatty,......” Cai'er that he does not know mostly answers. “这个……俺倒没问,听他这么一说,这不就连忙来告诉你了,没顾得上细打听。不过依俺对那胖子的了解,他多半也是不知道的……”彩儿解释道。 „I go out.” “我出去一趟。” Has not waited for Cai'er saying that behind Shi Mu presents two hot wings suddenly, under a leaf then changed to a red flowing light, speeds along to go in the Profound Spirit Tower direction. 未等彩儿说完,石牧背后骤然出现两道火翼,一扇之下便化作了一道赤色流光,朝着玄灵塔方向飞驰而去。 ...... …… After the moment, when Shi Mu enters the Heavenly Treasure pavilion, that Human Race fat manager then saw him, set out to welcome. 片刻后,当石牧一进天宝阁,那人族胖管事便看到了他,起身迎了过来。 Shi Mu just wants to open the mouth, saw that fat manager to cause a meaningful glance toward it, therefore stopped talking hastily. 石牧刚想开口,就见那胖管事朝其使了一个眼色,于是连忙住口。 „This honored guest, please the step inner room speak.” The fat manager greeted one, then brought Shi Mu to go to in the hall leaning hall. “这位贵客,请移步内室说话。”胖管事招呼一声,便带着石牧来到了内堂偏厅之中。 „Storekeeper, hears the recent market air/Qi of selling price in Extreme Yin to rise, does not know that is really?” Shi Mu guards the door to see the mountain to ask directly. “掌柜,听说最近市场上的极阴之气售价有所上涨,不知可是真的？”石牧看门见山径直问道。 „That's true, contains the spirit material of air/Qi of Extreme Yin to double mostly continues.” The fat manager nods to say. “确实如此,一些蕴含极阴之气的灵材大都翻了一番不止。”胖管事点点头道。 „Why is this? This needs to use air/Qi of Extreme Yin Cultivation Technique not to calculate too, suddenly so to be how marketable?” Shi Mu asked. “这是为何？这需要用到极阴之气的功法并不算太多,怎么突然就如此抢手了？”石牧问道。 „This...... is not really clear below. I also heard, recently in sacred place had important penetrating Spirit Lamp to extinguish, probably with some connections.” In charge expression to say fat strangely. “这个……在下也不甚清楚。我也只是听说,近来圣地中有一盏重要的彻魂灯熄灭了,好像与此有些关联。”胖管事神色怪异地说道。 A Shi Mu intention revolution, then understands. 石牧心念一转,便明白过来。 Because mostly the matter of White Ape Old Ancestor Spirit Lamp extinguishment spreads finally, in sacred place feared that was many people starts to study Nine Revolution Profound Law secretly, this caused with the profound merit cultivation related spirit material price, also when production costs rise, prices rise too got up. 多半由于白猿老祖魂灯熄灭之事终于传扬开来,圣地中怕是又不少人暗地里开始修习起了九转玄功,这才导致与玄功修炼相关的灵材价格,也都随之水涨船高起来。 The air/Qi of Extreme Yin must use the thing as the Cultivation Technique second revolution, naturally is also. 极阴之气作为功法第二转必须用到之物,自然也位列其中。 „Does not know that this drop of ice phoenix real blood......” Shi Mu asked. “不知这滴冰凰真血……”石牧问道。 „Is open about the facts your excellency, this ice phoenix real blood two other day then by two times of in before price buying.” The fat manager shakes the head to say. “不瞒阁下,这冰凰真血两日前便被人以两倍于前的价格给买走了。”胖管事摇了摇头说道。 „What? Was bought by who?” Shi Mu asked the exit|to speak, then knows that made an indiscreet remark. “什么？被何人买走了？”石牧一问出口,便知道失言了。 Sure enough, that fat manager apology shakes the head wear a look, expressed that cannot disclose the information of customer. 果不其然,那胖管事只是面带歉意地摇了摇头,表示不能透露客户的信息。 Shi Mu understands that fat effective difficulties, naturally cannot feel embarrassed him, but nods with a smile. 石牧明白那胖管事的苦衷,自然不会为难他,只是笑着点了点头。 Actually meets in that fat manager a hesitation, a moment later, raises up a finger slowly, referred to above. 却见那胖管事面上一阵犹豫,片刻之后,才慢慢地竖起一根手指,指了指上面。 Shi Mu sees this, in the heart understands clearly immediately, that drop of ice phoenix real blood, quite had the background disciple to buy mostly by the upper-level some position. 石牧见此,心中立即了然,那滴冰凰真血,多半是被上层的某位颇有背景的弟子买去了。 „Hears the expensive/noble pavilion besides selling some spirit materials and other thing below, but also and carries over to sell some information. Does not know whether Storekeeper knows, the air/Qi of this Extreme Yin can seek where?” Shi Mu hesitates the long time, suddenly asked. “在下听闻贵阁除了出售一些灵材等物外,还兼带出售一些信息。不知掌柜可否知道,这极阴之气能在何处寻得？”石牧沉吟半晌,突然问道。 That fat manages stares beforehand, then said slowly: 那胖管事先是一愣,而后缓缓说道: „The air/Qi of this Extreme Yin is unusual, its place of producing, many are the strategic places of a narrow escape. Your excellency as the sacred place disciple, so long as accumulates some date and time, may through resources receiving in exchange, really not be worthwhile finally......” “这极阴之气非同寻常,其所产之处,多为九死一生的险地。阁下身为圣地弟子,只要攒些时日,终可通过资源换取,实在犯不着……” „If Storekeeper knows, but also looks to consider, is deeply grateful below.” The fat effective words have not said, was broken by Shi Mu. “若是掌柜知道的话,还望相告,在下感激不尽。”胖管事的话还没说完,便被石牧打断。 Shi Mu is saying, takes out from Storage Ring small bag of Spirit Stone, stopper to the opposite party hand. 石牧说着,将一小袋灵石从储物戒指中取出,塞到了对方手中。 He makes so decided, is because he discovered suddenly, now in situation, if again through the store purchase and Nine Revolution Profound Law related spirit material, were associated to suspect by the person with high aspirations easily, even was coveted. 他之所以做出如此决定,是因为他猛然发现,如今情况下,若是再通过商铺购买与九转玄功相关灵材,容易被有心人联想猜忌,甚至被人觊觎。 Moreover, now he not only does not have enough Spirit Stone not saying that even by, perhaps still is very difficult and these net worth many upper-level disciples fights, so, oneself take risk to go to collect would rather. 而且,如今他不仅没有足够灵石不说,即便是由,恐怕也很难和那些身家颇丰的上层弟子争抢,如此看来,倒不如自己冒险前去采集。 Actually under thinks, at present best to choose. 其实深思熟虑下,目前最好的选择了。 „Good, looks in your me with is in the Human Race share, I then to you disclosed information that some I know. There is somewhat dangerous, after you must add carefully......” in the fat steward's hand Spirit Stone bag receives, does not know where takes out a azure map, gave Shi Mu. “好吧,看在你我同为人族份上,我便给你透露一些我所知道的信息。只是那里有些危险,你要多加小心……”胖管事将手中的灵石袋子收起后,又不知从哪里取出一张青色地图,递给了石牧。 „thank you Storekeeper.” After Shi Mu received the map, submissively thanks say/way. “多谢掌柜。”石牧接过地图后,拱手谢道。 „Right, your excellency, if seeks other to treasure the spirit material there , may bring back to the resale in me, surely gives your excellency below an appropriate price.” The fat manager added.(.) “对了,阁下若是在那里寻到一些其他珍惜灵材,也可带回转售于我,在下一定给阁下一个合适的价钱。”胖管事补充道。(。)
