„This is the millennium disciple clothing, and you receive. Starting today, you were the official millennium disciple.” The black ink elders said. “这是千年弟子服饰,你且收好。自今日起,你便算是正式千年弟子了。”墨长老说道。 „thank you elder.” Shi Mu said. “多谢长老。”石牧说道。 „Gives me your Profound Spirit Annulus.” The black ink elders said. “把你的玄灵璧给我。”墨长老道。 Shi Mu has not hesitated, immediately took out own Profound Spirit Annulus, gave the black ink billows elder. 石牧没有犹疑,立即将自己的玄灵璧取出,递给了墨澜长老。 Saw only it to receive the jade, after observes one at present, then stretches out two fingers, in the mouth meditates a mysterious incantation. 只见其将玉璧接过,在眼前观察了一阵之后,便伸出两指,口中默念起了一段玄妙的咒语。 With reciting the sound gets up, the referring to end of black ink billows elder then shone red rays of light. 伴随着吟诵之声响起,墨澜长老的指端便亮起了一道红色光芒。 Sees only it to point at gently a point on the jade wall, on that Profound Spirit Annulus then shines red light suddenly. 只见其将手指在玉壁上轻轻一点,那玄灵璧上便骤然亮起一阵红光。 Shi Mu sees, in jade original that red leaves, shook unexpectedly in a flash, got made two pieces. 石牧就看到,玉璧之中原有的那片红色树叶,竟然晃了一晃,变作了两片。 Above the vein is clear, the leaf blade is full, is seemingly lifelike. 其上脉络清晰,叶片饱满,看起来栩栩如生。 After two pieces of red leaves appear, the black ink billows elder has not stopped acting, but is single-handed and refers to like the blade, passing clouds and flowing water portray on Profound Spirit Annulus. 两片红叶出现之后,墨澜长老并未停止动作,而是单手并指如刀,在玄灵璧上行云流水般地刻画起来。 The movement is smooth, like writing to paint, a moment later then portrays, took back the right hand. 其动作流畅,如同执笔作画,片刻之后便刻画完毕,收回了右手。 Sees only above that jade surface, already appeared circular six glow star designs, but around the design is also engraving modeling unadorned rune. 只见在那玉璧表面之上,已经浮现出了一个圆形的六芒星图案,而图案周围还镌刻着一圈造型古拙的符文。 Looks at this, on the face of Ling Feng also revealed a surprised color. 看着这一幕,凌风的脸上也露出了一丝惊奇之色。 „This is......” some Shi Mu doubts said. “这是……”石牧有些疑惑道。 „This is the millennium seal, passes in and out the certificate of sacred place's second region freely.” The black ink elders said. “此乃千年界印,是自由进出圣地第二层区域的凭证。”墨长老说道。 Shi Mu received Profound Spirit Annulus, is feeling the special aura of jade wall over a thousand years of seal, the heart immediately one happy. 石牧接过玄灵璧,感受着玉壁上千年界印的特殊气息,心头顿时一喜。 „In addition has the incident, as a result of you in Yellow Rank Area cultivation also less than hundred years, therefore your hundred years of disciple status can also be also reserved. In addition, your original aide staying or going by you, you can take to Profound Rank Area it all. However, your original spirit and Immortal's cave must take back.” The black ink elders said. “另外还有一事,由于你在黄阶区域修炼还不足百年,所以你百年弟子身份也可以同样保留。此外,你原先的侍从去留由你,你可以将其尽数带往玄阶区域。不过,你原先的灵地和洞府都要收回。”墨长老说道。 „thank you elder.” Shi Mu said. “多谢长老。”石牧说道。 „Does not need to say thanks. Ling Feng, your temper extremely tranquil, Junior Brother already exceeded you, you should also try harder.” The black ink elders have turned around, said to Ling Feng. “不必言谢。凌风,你的性子太过恬淡,师弟都已经超越你了,你也应加把劲儿了。”墨长老转过身,对凌风说道。 „The black ink elder, you also knows, disciple Sword Dao pays great attention to cultivate the mind, is not suitable acts with undue haste. Waits 10-20 years, strides in again millennium disciple, to disciple also not late.” Ling Feng lets go, said confidently. “墨长老,您也知道,弟子剑道注重修心,不宜操之过急。等个10-20年,再跨入千年弟子行列,对弟子来说也为时不晚。”凌风一摊手,坦然说道。 „Hehe, as you like, the old man is also the weary temper, otherwise so will not hit it off well with one another with you. Ok, Shi Mu your family place should also many business to handle, your goes back.” The black ink elders are saying, beckons with the hand. “呵呵,随你吧,老夫也是个惫懒性子,不然也不会和你这般投缘了。好了,石牧府上应该还有许多事务要处置,你们这就回去吧。”墨长老说着,摆了摆手。 „Yes, the disciple asks to be excused.” Two people stand up, bows to say “是,弟子告退。”两人站起身,一躬身说道 Had/Left Profound Spirit Tower, after two humanity don't, then changes into two escaping light, flies toward the respective mansion. 出了玄灵塔,两人道别一声后,便化为两道遁光,朝着各自的府邸飞去。 Shi Mu just returned to the mansion, sees Qi Feng in low spirits, the front surface from the entry is going out worried, almost hits unexpectedly on oneself. 石牧刚一回到府邸,就看到齐风正闷着头,心事重重地从门洞中迎面走出,竟差点撞在自己身上。 „Palace Lord forgives.” Qi Feng raised the head, seeing is Shi Mu, bows to say hastily. “府主恕罪。”齐风一抬头,见是石牧,连忙躬身说道。 „Might as well. Your this step hurriedly, why is to go?” Shi Mu has not cared, but somewhat asked curiously. “无妨。你这步履匆匆的,是要干什么去？”石牧倒也没在意,只是有些好奇地问道。 „Opens reports Palace Lord, I am thinking your already adopted the test of imaginary Devilish Dao, perhaps then must leave here, went to sacred place's second. Therefore I then told your family place aide ahead of time, spirit in mature the spirit grass spirit material collected, today then all escorts to passes Flowing Square to sell. I will compile a register your family place finance fund reorganization as soon as possible, assume you glance to Palace Lord.” In the Qi Feng mouth so said, complexion somewhat is low-spirited. “启禀府主,我想着您已经通过了幻魔道的考验,恐怕不日便要离开这里,前往圣地第二层了。所以我便提前吩咐府上侍从,将灵地里成熟了的灵草灵材收集好了,今日便全都送往通流坊售卖。我会尽快将府上财务款项整理造册,呈给府主您过目。”齐风口中这般说道,脸色却有些黯然。 Shi Mu watches, a thinking, then understood slightly at heart, expected that after it is also the heart worries mostly Shi Mu walks, oneself in this sacred place's first how from place. 石牧看在眼里,略微一思索,心里便明白了过来,料想其多半也是心忧石牧走后,自己在这圣地第一层中如何自处。 „Un, you do is very good. However, after the fund makes the book, you must in addition the mansion in the aide reconstruct a book, when to Profound Rank Area, cannot omit anyone.” Shi Mu said. “嗯,你做的很好。不过,将款项造好册子之后,你还需另将府中侍从再造一个册子,等去往玄阶区域时,不可遗漏任何一人。”石牧说道。 „Palace Lord you...... you meant, I and others can follow you to go to second?” The Qi Feng chubby body is shivering slightly, some cannot believe that asked. “府主您……您是说,我等可以追随您前往第二层吗？”齐风胖乎乎的身子微微颤抖着,有些不敢相信地问道。 „First handles on hand on matter, waited till Profound Rank Area, many things want you to handle.” Shi Mu said with a smile. “先去办手头上的事吧,等到了玄阶区域,还有很多事要你操办。”石牧笑着说道。 „Yes.” Qi Feng complied with one joyfully, the step vividly walked. “是。”齐风欣喜地应了一声,步伐轻快地走了出去。 ...... …… After two days . 两日后。 Above the Shi Mu mansion main hall, several effective hands headed by Qi Feng holds thick one pack of account books, all expression stands in the one side respectful and prudent. 石牧府邸厅堂之上,以齐风为首的数名管事手中捧着厚厚一叠账本,全都神色恭谨地站在一旁。 „The running water bookkeeping of your family place I do not check, the these year you do is very good. The place of minor details, Qi Feng you process and that's the end, me will then lead you to move Becoming Saint second tomorrow.” Shi Mu told. “府上的流水账务我就不查了,这些年来你们做的很好。细枝末节的地方,齐风你处理好就是了,明日我便带你们迁入圣地第二层。”石牧吩咐道。 „Yes, Palace Lord.” Qi Feng and the others said with one voice. “是,府主。”齐风等人齐声道。 At this moment, outside the main hall walks an aide quickly, bows saying: 就在这时,厅堂外快步走进来一名侍从,一躬身说道: „Opens reports Palace Lord, Mǎ Lóng Palace Lord seeks an audience.” “启禀府主,马珑府主求见。” „Mǎ Lóng? Leads her to come.” Shi Mu said. “马珑？带她进来。”石牧说道。 Before long, Shi Mu sees, Mǎ Lóng of fiery red clothing, brings younger brother Ma Lie, across the garden, walked together. 不一会儿,石牧就看到,一身火红衣衫的马珑,带着弟弟马烈,一同穿过庭院,走了进来。 „Big Brother Shi.” Mǎ Lóng sister and brother two people, when first salutes to say. “石大哥。”马珑姐弟两人当先一施礼说道。 „Inside sits down speech.” Shi Mu welcomed the living room two people, said. “里面坐下说话把。”石牧将两人迎进客厅,说道。 „Doesn't Big Brother Shi, how see your family Cai'er?” For a long time does not see, Ma Lie asks, unexpectedly Cai'er. “石大哥,怎么不见你家彩儿呢？”许久不见,马烈一开口问的,居然还是彩儿。 Shi Mu stares slightly, just wants to start talking, hears yawp on hearing outside: 石牧微微一愣,刚想开口说话,就听见外面传来一阵叫喊声: „Which is must look for the color master?” “是哪个要找彩爷？” Finishes speaking, several people saw color wool Parrot that eats the plump flew from outside, threw the wing to fall on Shi Mu. 话音刚落,几人就看到一只吃得圆滚滚的彩毛鹦鹉从外面飞了进来,扑楞着翅膀落在了石牧身上。 „Cai'er, is I.” Ma Lie said with a smile. “彩儿,是我。”马烈笑道。 „Am I very ripe with you? Called the color master.” That plump Parrot does not show due respect for the feelings, is holding up the head to say. “俺跟你很熟吗？叫彩爷。”那肥硕鹦鹉丝毫不给面子,昂着头说道。 On the Ma Lie face the smile obstructs, somewhat coughed awkwardly lightly two. 马烈脸上笑容一窒,有些尴尬地轻咳了两声。 „Cai'er, do not make fun of my younger brother.” Mǎ Lóng sees that hits to mediate hastily. “彩儿,你就别捉弄舍弟了。”马珑见状,连忙打起圆场。 „Good, since Sister Ma said that I did not haggle over with him.” Compared Ma Lie well, attitude of Cai'er to Mǎ Lóng not to know many times simply. “好吧,既然马姐姐这么说了,那俺就不跟他计较了。”相比马烈,彩儿对马珑的态度简直好了不知多少倍。 Then, a Cai'er then wing leaf flies to fall on the Mǎ Lóng shoulder, half belt/bring flattered to say „Sister Ma you are really beautiful today”, while the storage abstention of eye on toward Mǎ Lóng glanced. 说完,彩儿便翅膀一扇飞落在马珑肩头,一边半带谄媚地说着“马姐姐你今天真美”,一边眼睛朝着马珑手上的储物戒瞟。 Mǎ Lóng „throws” smiles, the wrist/skill turns, the palm then presented top grade Spirit Stone, handed over toward the Cai'er mouth. 马珑“扑哧”一笑,手腕一翻,掌心便出现了一颗极品灵石,朝着彩儿嘴边递了过去。 In Cai'er eye bright light one bright, immediately bends down a pecking, holds into Spirit Stone the mouth, „ka ka” chews. 彩儿眼中精光一亮,立即俯身一啄,将灵石衔入嘴中,“咔咔”地嘴嚼起来。 Shi Mu sees Cai'er this welldoing, cannot help but speechless, said: 石牧看到彩儿这副德行,不由得一阵无语,道: „Did Cai'er, a moment ago which go?” “彩儿,刚才去哪儿了？” „Ka ka...... I went to the spirit spring, ka ka...... we must walk, but also remained some fire fine mortal forms...... to be possible, cannot waste.” The Cai'er mouth is still chewing Spirit Stone, replied unclearly. “咔咔……俺去灵泉了,咔咔……咱都要走了,还剩些火精魄……可,可不能浪费了。”彩儿嘴里还在嘴嚼着灵石,含糊不清地答道。 „Said, you also did lead the person to throw seize the fire fine mortal form?” Shi Mu asked. “这么说,你又带人去扑捉火精魄了？”石牧问道。 „gu...... right, catches the whole lot in a dragnet, does not remain.” Cai'er swallows Spirit Stone, complacent said. “咕……对啊,一网打尽,一个不剩啦。”彩儿咽下灵石,得意地说道。 „That fire fine mortal form?” Shi Mu just asked the exit|to speak, knows oneself moved unnecessarily. “那火精魄呢？”石牧刚问出口,就知道自己多此一举了。 „In my belly.” Cai'er is brandishing the wing, patted the belly of plump to say. “都在俺肚子里了。”彩儿挥舞着翅膀,拍了拍自己圆滚滚的肚子说道。 The Shi Mu hear, in the heart smiles bitterly. 石牧听罢,心中不由苦笑一声。 The Mǎ Lóng sister and brother see this, then cannot bear smile to make noise. 马珑姐弟俩看到这一幕,则都忍不住笑出声来。 „Right, but also without asking the horse miss you this time comes, what matter but there is?” Shi Mu looks at Mǎ Lóng, opens the mouth to ask. “对了,还没问马姑娘你们此番前来,可是有什么事情？”石牧看着马珑,开口问道。 „When remembered for ten years greatly compared with the conclusion, Big Brother Shi had once promised the Little Sister, when there is a need, may come to seek help from Big Brother Shi.” Mǎ Lóng said. “记得十年大比结束之时,石大哥曾答应过小妹,若有需要之时,可来向石大哥求助。”马珑说道。 „I have indeed said that how? Do the horse girls have the place that what need I help?” Shi Mu asked. “我的确说过,怎么？马姑娘有什么需要我帮忙的地方吗？”石牧问道。 The Mǎ Lóng hear, has not opened the mouth immediately, but after deeply inspires, says: 马珑听罢,没有立即开口,而是深吸了一口气后,才开口说道: „I want to ask Big Brother Shi to comply, making us carry off Cai'er. Regardless of needs what price, we are willing to pay.” “我想请石大哥答应,让我们带走彩儿。不论需要什么代价,我们都愿意付出。” „Cai'er to me, is not the goods, I cannot make you carry off.” Shi Mu one hear, stares immediately, tone somewhat unhappy saying. “彩儿对我来说,不是什么物品,我不能让你带走。”石牧一听,顿时一愣,语气有些不快的说道。 Cai'er is also dumbstruck, brandishes the wing to fly back to the Shi Mu shoulder, says: 彩儿也是一阵发懵,挥舞着翅膀飞回石牧肩头,开口说道: „Although I live the wise supernatural might to be impressive, making you admire the worship, but my already had Shi Tou (stone) this master, will not follow you.” “虽然俺生得英明神武气度不凡,让你们仰慕崇拜不已,但俺已经有石头这个主人了,是不会跟你们走的。” „Big Brother Shi, do not misunderstand, I am not that meaning. Like this, I first give you looking at a sample thing.” Mǎ Lóng sees some Shi Mu vitality/angry, said hastily. “石大哥,你们别误会,我不是那个意思。这样吧,我先给你们看样东西。”马珑见石牧有些生气,连忙说道。 Then, Mǎ Lóng then from the storage abstention, takes out a palm of the hand size the scarlet red pebbles, the booth gives Shi Mu to look in the palm. 说罢,马珑便从储物戒中,取出一枚巴掌大小的赤红色卵石,摊在手心中给石牧看。 „What is this?” The Shi Mu brow selects, asks. “这是什么？”石牧眉头一挑,问道。 „This is includes in my clan Saint Bird blood essence scarlet flint.” Mǎ Lóng answered. “这是含有我族中圣禽精血的一枚赤火石。”马珑解释道。 Then, sees her palm to shine together red light. 说罢,就见她的掌心亮起一道红光。 A moment later, drop of dark red blood essence was then condensed by her, drop in that scarlet flint. 片刻之后,一滴殷红的精血便被她凝聚出来,滴在了那枚赤火石上。 Only listens to „shouting” a sound. 只听“呼”的一声响。 On that pebbles in Mǎ Lóng palm then leapt the big piece flame, subsequently was similar to a piece of hot curtain to be the same, leisurely float in midair. 马珑掌心中的那枚卵石上便腾起了大片火焰,继而便如同一片火幕一般,悠悠地悬浮在了半空之中。 The Shi Mu vision flashes, sees in that piece of scarlet red hot curtain, presented huge birds shadow, is face upwarding to send out resonant sounding. 石牧目光一闪,看到那片赤红色的火幕之中,出现了一个巨大的禽鸟虚影,正仰天发出一声嘹亮的鸣叫。 In his heart stares, then Cai'er on towards oneself shoulder looked hastily. 他心中一愣,连忙回头朝自己肩上的彩儿看了过去。 Under this looks, he discovered, that birds shadow in flame, is very unexpectedly similar to Cai'er, as if it is Cai'er enlarges appearances after dozens times. 这一看之下,他就发现,火焰中的那禽鸟虚影,竟与彩儿十分相似,仿佛其就是彩儿放大数十倍之后的样子。 Imposing manner that however that shadow shows, is Cai'er definitely is actually not able to compare. 然而那虚影所展现出来的气势,却是彩儿所完全无法比拟的。 „This is......” Shi Mu mutters asks. “这是……”石牧喃喃问道。 „This is Saint Bird that in my clan all previous generations consecrate, Cai'er should be lineage/vein with it, or Cai'er may is in my clan the Saint Bird bloodlines descendant.” Mǎ Lóng answered. “这是我族中历代供奉的圣禽,彩儿应与其同属一脉,或者说,彩儿很有可能乃是我族中圣禽的血脉后裔。”马珑解释道。 The Shi Mu whole face cannot believe looked back and forth several between that shadow and Cai'er, cannot believe that Cai'er can have anything to be connected with that Saint Bird. 石牧满脸不可置信地在那虚影与彩儿之间来回看了几遍,怎么也不能相信彩儿会与那圣禽有什么关联。 At this time he noticed suddenly, Cai'er one instead the stubbornly disobedient appearance, stood in own shoulder in the past at this moment unexpectedly motionlessly, is staring at birds shadow in that flame with total concentration. 这时候他忽然注意到,彩儿一反往常顽劣模样,此刻竟然一动不动地站在自己肩头,聚精会神地凝视着那火焰之中的禽鸟虚影。 „According to your seeing is to bring Cai'er to go back to find roots?” Shi Mu sincere asked.( To be continued.) “依你们之见,是要带彩儿回去认祖归宗吗？”石牧正色问道。(未完待续。)
