In a while, the deeds that three Shi Mu by one's effort, comes millennium disciples who challenge to defeat, spreads in sacred place's second. 没过多久,石牧以一己之力,将三名前来挑战的千年弟子击败的事迹,就在圣地第二层中传扬开来。 Among the millennium disciples challenges mutually was an ordinary matter, therefore this matter has not stirred the too big controversy, but also aroused the interests of many, after all cultivation less than hundred years, can actually win streak with ease the matter of millennium disciple, but is rarely seen. 千年弟子之间互相挑战本就属于一件平常之事,故而此事并未引起太大的轩然大波,但也引起了不少人的关注,毕竟修行不足百年,却能轻松连胜千年弟子的事情,可并不多见。 Shi Mu has not naturally cared excessively, after returning to Immortal's cave, immediately called Qi Feng, arranged spirit Bao Fenpei who three resulted in newly. 石牧对此自然没有过分在意,在回到洞府后,立即召来齐风,将三处新得的灵瀑分配安排了下去。 Qi Feng sees this, is hanging the heart puts down immediately, beams with joy, feeling pleased receives an order to go. 齐风见此,悬着的心当即放下,眉开眼笑,喜滋滋的领命而去。 After two days, Shi Mu sits before the round table in main room, reads the map of sacred place's second region. 两日后,石牧坐在主屋内的圆桌前,翻看圣地第二层区域的地图。 After looking at a while, he closed both eyes, is recalling in the mind carefully, initially obtained in Heaven Shattering Staff, about all information that the White Ape Old Ancestor buried treasure is. 看了一会儿后,他闭上了双目,在脑海中仔细的回忆着,当初在翻天棍中得到的,关于白猿老祖宝藏所在的所有信息。 A moment later, he opened eyes, the finger walked randomly the gesture on that map unceasingly, the careful ratio to searching, stopped finally in the map rightmost, was the Profound Rank Area east. 片刻之后,他睁开了双眼,手指在那幅地图上不断地游走比划,仔细的比对查找,最终停在了地图的最右侧,也是玄阶区域的最东边。 That is one quite remote is, is not in the search coverage range, is a blank region. 那是一处相当偏僻的所在,并不在探测区域范围内,是一片空白区域。 Shi Mu looked at one, in the heart the suspicion grew thickly immediately. 石牧看了一阵,心中顿时疑窦丛生。 On the note information according to the map, there is somewhat different from the general blank region, as if had found out, is quite giant spirit waterfall, the area is extremely broad, should be an extremely good spirit local territory, actually does not know why seems at the vacant condition unexpectedly for a long time, had not been occupied by any disciple. 按照地图上备注信息来看,那里与一般的空白区域有些不同,似乎曾经被人探出过,是一处颇为巨大的灵瀑,占地面积极广,应该是一处极为不错的灵地区域,却不知为何竟似乎长期处于空置状态,没有被任何弟子占据。 As the saying goes, the matter leaves must have the monster unusual! 俗话说得好,事出反常必有妖！ After Shi Mu slightly hesitates, receives the map to go out of the mansion, changes into together the red flowing light, dashes to go toward Profound Spirit Tower. 石牧略一沉吟后,收起地图走出府邸,化为一道赤色流光,朝着玄灵塔飞奔而去。 After the moment, his form then appears on passing the Flowing Square main street. 片刻后,他的身影便出现在通流坊的主街道上。 In this Flowing Square, stream of people very heterogeneous, various news are combining disseminates, even some people take selling the news as the job specially. 这通流坊中,人流十分驳杂,各种消息混杂着在其中传播,甚至有人专门以售卖消息为营生。 No personal connection of Shi Mu still in second, arrived here, is wants to try one's luck, looks at the inquiry that can make a veiled attack the news about that place spirit waterfall. 石牧在第二层中尚无什么人脉,来到这里,便是想要碰碰运气,看能不能旁敲侧击的打探到一些关于那处灵瀑的消息。 Happen to his hand also has spirit medicine that some previously saved, plans to entrust in fat Storekeeper there sell, therefore then changes over to that side street directly, arrived at outside the Heavenly Treasure pavilion. 正好他手上还有一些此前积攒下来的灵药,打算寄放在胖掌柜那里出售,于是便径直转入那条侧街,来到了天宝阁外。 Has not entered the Heavenly Treasure pavilion front door, Shi Mu hears a shouting in confusion sound on hearing. 还未走进天宝阁大门,石牧就听到里面传来一阵吵嚷声。 He strided, saw that Heavenly Treasure pavilion Datangli Station a guy who wore the azure robe, heated and that fat manager is disputing anything. 他跨步走了进去,看到天宝阁大堂里站着一个身着青袍的大汉,正面红耳赤的和那胖管事你一言我一语地争执着什么。 The Shi Mu vision took a fast look around two on that azure clothes guy, feels somewhat looks familiar, but cannot think for a short time, he has not alarmed two people, but stands in the entrance raises up the ear, audited. 石牧的目光在那青衣大汉身上扫视了两眼,觉得有些面熟,但一时半会儿又想不起来,他没有惊动二人,而是站在门口竖起耳朵,旁听了起来。 „Storekeeper, male and female difficult minute/share of Black Yuan Ginseng, you also dare to open the mouth to ask a price 120 ten top grade Spirit Stone, was the appetite is too a little big? In the elixir room Black Yuan Ginseng is sold out, but your broken place also just has, I was also insufficient here. Can it be that you looked I want sincerely, intentionally price pushing?” That azure clothes guy is pulling the throat loud say/way. “掌柜的,一棵公母难分的乌元参,你也敢开口要价一百二十极品灵石,胃口是不是有点太大了？要不是仙药斋中乌元参售罄,而你这破地儿又刚好有,我也不至于在这里了。你莫不是看我诚心想要,故意哄抬价格？”那青衣大汉扯着嗓子大声道。 „Duanmu Senior do not misunderstand! To distinguish the Black Yuan Ginseng male and female, only has the Yuan ginseng/partake to cut open, observes its essence color, in addition, has no other alternative. In price that below said that the mouth that also opens according to the market price, does not dare to want the Senior one cent absolutely.” Fat manager head already saw the perspiration, scratched scratching with the sleeves, answered. “端木前辈千万别误会！要想分辨乌元参的公母,唯有将元参切开,去观察它的内核颜色,除此之外,别无他法。在下所说的价格,也是根据市价开的口,绝对没敢多要前辈一分钱。”胖管事头上已经见汗了,用衣袖擦了擦,对其解释道。 „If Duke Black Yuan Ginseng, its efficacy is pure, being used to refine Tianyuan pill effect good, you be two hundred top grade Spirit Stone not to expensively. But if is a mother, it has three points of toxicity to be one of them, but must spend the time disposition supplementary material neutralize poison, the value may sell at a discount greatly, is five ten top grade Spirit Stone, I not necessarily am also glad to want.” The azure clothes guy said. “若是公的乌元参,其药力精纯,用来炼制天元丹效果奇佳,你就是要两百极品灵石也不为贵。可若是为母的,其含着三分毒性在其中,还要花功夫配置辅料中和毒性,价值可就大打折扣了,就是五十极品灵石,我也不见得乐意要。”青衣大汉说道。 „Senior said right, 120 ten top grade Spirit Stone that but according to the market price, has not cut, this price is very just.” The fat manager continues to answer. “前辈说的没错,不过根据市价,未切的一百二十极品灵石,这价格已是很公道了。”胖管事继续解释道。 Hears here, Shi Mu basically already understood, that azure clothes guy wants to purchase Black Yuan Ginseng, actually does not approve the price, but the fat manager insisted that must sell at the market price, therefore two sides were unyielding. 听到这里,石牧基本上已经明白了,那青衣大汉想购买乌元参,却并不认可价格,而胖管事坚持要以市价售出,所以两方争执不下。 A Shi Mu slightly consideration, went forward to interrupt two people talk. 石牧略一思量,上前打断了两人的谈话。 „Storekeeper, does not see for a long time.” Shi Mu said with a smile. “掌柜的,好久不见。”石牧笑着说道。 „Fellow Daoist Shi......” fat manager obviously stares, immediately said. “石道友……”胖管事明显一愣,随即说道。 „Well, Shi Mu?” “咦,石牧？” He turns head immediately, discovered that called own person, was that looks at some azure clothes guys of looking familiar. 他立即回过头去,发现叫自己的人,就是那看着有些面熟的青衣大汉。 „Does your excellency know me?” Shi Mu asked. “阁下认识我？”石牧问道。 „Haha, since the millenniums have rushed to imaginary Devilish Dao to promote Shi Mu of millennium disciple, I naturally know! Then, if not your excellency tries in ten years greatly the initial color performance, may are more bored below gambling house.” The azure clothes guy laughs to say. “哈哈,千年以来闯过幻魔道晋升千年弟子的石牧,我自然识得！说起来,若非阁下在十年大试中的初色表现,在下的赌局可就要无聊许多了。”青衣大汉大笑道。 „Overpraised. Were you then the past that open the person of gambling house, Duanmu Guang Senior Brother?” Shi Mu asked. “过誉了。你便是当年那开设赌局之人,端木光师兄吧？”石牧问道。 „! Never expected that you also know me.” Duanmu Guang nods. “正是！没想到你也认识我。”端木光点了点头。 „Has heard so much about you! When below came in a moment ago, sees Senior Brother and Storekeeper is Black Yuan Ginseng is just unyielding, is proposing plan of being satisfactory to both sides solution intentionally, does not know that Senior Brother can hope one hear?” In the Shi Mu heart moves, asks. “久仰大名！在下刚才进来时,见师兄与掌柜的正为一支乌元参争执不下,正有心提出一个两全的解决之策,不知师兄可愿一听？”石牧心中一动,问道。 „? Junior Brother mentioned and listens.” The Duanmu Guang brow selects to say. “哦？师弟且说来听听。”端木光眉头一挑说道。 That fat Storekeeper hears word, is some doubts looked to Shi Mu. 那胖掌柜闻言,则是有些疑惑的看向了石牧。 „Happen to the Junior Brother also a little matter needs the Senior Brother help, Senior Brother is the person of liking to gamble, Junior Brother then takes the matter of asking to make as the gambling, bets with Senior Brother, how?” A Shi Mu eyeball revolution, opens the mouth to ask. “正好师弟也有点事情需要师兄帮忙,师兄即是好赌之人,师弟便以所求之事为赌约,与师兄赌上一场,如何？”石牧眼珠一转,开口问道。 „Bets? How to bet?” Duanmu Guang one hear makes a bet, immediately came the interest, then asked hastily. “赌一场？怎么赌？”端木光一听打赌,立即来了兴趣,便连忙问道。 „Senior Brother, since suspected that this Black Yuan Ginseng female, I then recognized that it Duke, we then take this as the gambling content, cuts open this Black Yuan Ginseng to have a look. Right that if Senior Brother guesses, this Black Yuan Ginseng then sells Senior Brother by five ten top grade Spirit Stone, the other parts are made up by Junior Brother then. If Junior Brother won by luck, that Senior Brother then helps Junior Brother answer a question, this Black Yuan Ginseng then sells Senior Brother by hundred top grade Spirit Stone, the other price difference parts, are made up by Junior Brother similarly. Duanmu Senior Brother looks, but like this good?” Shi Mu said. “师兄既然怀疑这乌元参是母的,那我便认定其是公的,我们便以此为赌博内容,切开这乌元参看看。若师兄猜的对,这乌元参便以五十极品灵石售予师兄,余下的部分由师弟来补上即可。若师弟侥幸赢了,那师兄便帮师弟解答一个疑问,这乌元参便以一百极品灵石售予师兄,余下的差价部分,同样由师弟来补上。端木师兄看,这样可好？”石牧说道。 „Answers a question? What question?” Duanmu Guang hears word, some cannot believe ask. “只是解答一个疑问？什么疑问？”端木光闻言,有些不可置信地问道。 „Right, Senior Brother felt relieved although, is only a situation about spirit in vacant spirit waterfall. If Senior Brother knows that then told Junior Brother. If not know, must help Junior Brother inquire.” Shi Mu said. “对,师兄尽管放心,只是关于灵地内一处空置灵瀑的情况而已。师兄若知道便告诉师弟。若不知道,也需帮师弟代为打探一下。”石牧说道。 „I work as anything, if by well-informed, in the millennium disciples also few can compare favorably with I. I bet with you, invited Storekeeper made a testimony.” A Duanmu Guang expression loosen, puts out a hand to strike one's chest, said. “我当什么事,若论消息灵通,千年弟子中也没几个能比得上我。我跟你赌了,就请掌柜的做个见证。”端木光神色一松,伸手一拍胸脯,说道。 Some fat Storekeeper hesitations looks at Shi Mu, actually sees a latter face self-confident smile. 胖掌柜有些犹疑的将目光投向石牧,却看到后者一脸自信笑容。 „Good, then makes this testimony below.” Fat Storekeeper sees this, immediately said. “好的,那在下便来做这个见证。”胖掌柜见此,立即说道。 After fat Storekeeper said that then leads two people, turned around in the hall. 胖掌柜说罢之后,便带着两人,一齐转身去了内堂。 A moment later, saw the fat manages incident to have -and-a-half foot square, the box of amethyst sealing. 片刻之后,就见胖管事端出了一个半尺见方,紫晶封盖的方盒子。 In that box, then puts a root hair to be complete, texture clear dark purple Yuan ginseng/partake. 在那方盒子之中,便盛放着一颗根须齐全,纹理清晰的黑紫色元参。 Fat Storekeeper picks off that box sealing slowly, in the hall then appears immediately strange medicine fragrance. 胖掌柜慢慢将那盒子封盖拿掉,内堂之中便立即浮现出一股奇异的药香味。 Duanmu Guang was hearing this flavor, on the face reveals a happy expression immediately. 端木光闻着这味道,脸上立即露出一丝喜色。 Sees only that fat Storekeeper from the storage abstention, takes out a white jade knife of piece of thin as cicada wing, cuts open a small mouth from the Black Yuan Ginseng peak cautiously, subsequently toward next, then pulls open an opening on that Black Yuan Ginseng gently, revealed hid in inside essence. 只见那胖掌柜从储物戒中,取出一片薄如蝉翼的白玉小刀,小心翼翼从乌元参的顶端切开一个小口,继而轻轻朝下一拉,便在那棵乌元参身上拉开一道口子,露出了藏在里面的内核。 The essence just revealed that Duanmu Guang will collect immediately, is knitting the brows to look toward inside. 内核刚一露出,端木光就立即就将头凑了过去,皱着眉朝里面看去。 Shi Mu actually stands on one side, does not have including the meaning that wants to look at slightly. 石牧却站在一边,连丝毫想看的意思都没有。 „Purple...... unexpectedly is a Duke ginseng/partake. Junior Brother Shi, you won.” Duanmu Guang so said that in the tone is not quick. “紫色……竟是一棵公参。石师弟,你赢了。”端木光这般说道,语气里却没有丝毫不快。 This gambling, regardless of the victory and loss, only gains the business that does not compensate to him, even if lost, he is still the same was very happy. 这场赌博,不论输赢,对他来说都是只赚不赔的买卖,所以即使输了,他也一样很高兴。 „Receiving lets.” Shi Mu said. “承让。”石牧道。 „Said that what issue Junior Brother Shi does have?” Duanmu Guang asked. “说吧,石师弟有什么问题？”端木光问道。 „Hehe, is this, Junior Brother had a liking for spirit waterfall within search coverage range, sees there and has no powerful Monster Beast to occupy, vacant no one occupies, has a mind to want there to appropriate to oneself, was worried that there has any unknown risk or the taboo, therefore wants to try to prove to Senior Brother.” Shi Mu said with a smile. “呵呵,是这样的,师弟看上了探测区域范围内的一处灵瀑,见那里并无什么强大妖兽盘踞,却空置着无人占据,有心想要将那里据为己有,又担心那里是不是有什么未知的风险或是避讳,故而想要向师兄求证一下。”石牧笑着说道。 „Spirit waterfall? Which do you refer to?” Duanmu Guang asked. “灵瀑？你指的是哪一处？”端木光问道。 Shi Mu has not said a word, immediately takes out two maps, looks at to it that place spirit Bao finger/refer. 石牧也没言语,立即取出二层地图,将那处灵瀑指给其看。 „, What when I Junior Brother said is what valuable land with good feng shui, originally is the place of this desolate and remote open country! This matter I also really know something.” Duanmu Guang looked, then some disdain said. “哦,我当师弟说的是什么风水宝地呢,原来是这个僻野之处啊！此事我还真略知一二。”端木光一看,便有些不屑地说道。 „What's wrong? What deficiency does this spirit waterfall have?” Shi Mu asked. “怎么？这处灵瀑有什么不妥之处吗？”石牧问道。 „This matter was a long story. It is said in thousand years ago, then once had the disciple to explore that spirit waterfall regions, tries to possess , but because there is lingering powerful Monster Beast. However that Monster Beast spirit wisdom is not only low, and excels at the concealing whereabouts extremely, several times after the confrontation, cannot strike to kill it thoroughly, most expels it, but has actually occupied in the , is not willing to depart. Afterward some disciples integrated to govern simply forcefully that region, but was sent to handle the aide in that region, often encountered kills suddenly, and plants spirit grass and other thing also to be stolen the food, ordinary law formation could not do , the expenditure high price purchased law formation is really not worth it. So changed several rounds of masters also to have no progress, gradually, that place spirit waterfall also gradually left uncultivated.” Duanmu Guang careless answered. “此事说来话长了。据说早在千年前,便曾有弟子探索到那片灵瀑区域,试图占为己有,但由于那里盘桓着一头强大妖兽。然而那妖兽不仅灵智不低,且极擅隐匿行踪,数次交锋后,一直未能将之彻底击杀,最多将其赶走,但却一直盘踞在附近,不愿离去。后来有弟子干脆强行将那片区域纳入辖下,但被派去打理那片区域的侍从,时常遭遇突然袭杀,且种下灵草等物也会被偷食,普通的法阵根本奈何不了,花费大价钱购置法阵又实在是划不来。如此换了数轮主人也没什么进展,久而久之,那处灵瀑也就逐渐荒废了。”端木光毫不在乎的解释道。 „Then, did that place spirit waterfall potential risk, then refer to that only Monster Beast? Does not know that Senior Brother can know the situation about that Monster Beast?” Shi Mu said. “这么说来,那处灵瀑潜在的风险,便是指那只妖兽了？不知师兄可知道关于那妖兽的情况？”石牧说道。 „What this Monster Beast is long, actually what cultivation base, I not am quite clear. Right, it is said at that time, many people think that Monster Beast is intends to guard that place spirit waterfall, possibly has what day of material treasure. Once the have several strength powerful disciple collaborated, goes to that area search.” A Duanmu Guang slightly consideration, said. “这妖兽长什么样,究竟什么修为,我也不太清楚。对了,据说当时,不少人都认为那妖兽是有意驻守那处灵瀑,其中可能有什么天材地宝。曾有数位实力强大的弟子联手,去那处区域探索了一番。”端木光略一思量,如此说道。 Shi Mu one hear, „thump”, does intentionally at heart asks calmly: 石牧一听,心里“咯噔”一声,故作镇定地问道: „, Does not know that what day of material treasure that several Senior Brother can once find?”( To be continued.) “哦,不知那几位师兄可曾找到什么天材地宝？”(未完待续。)
