Phoenix Wing City, sky over the outer city secluded street, flashes somewhere void, a person's shadow appears gradually, is Shi Mu. 凤翼城,外城某处僻静的街道上空,虚空一闪,一个人影渐渐浮现而出,正是石牧。 This moment already is late at night, here is quite in addition remote, above the street already did not have the person's shadow early. 此刻已经是深夜,加上这里颇为偏僻,街道之上早已经没有了人影。 Cai'er turns head, looked at one in the inner city direction, shouted the one breath lightly, still some lingering fear appearances. 彩儿回头,朝着内城方向看了一眼,轻呼了一口气,仍有些后怕的样子。 „What's wrong? You have to fear.” Shi Mu looks at the Cai'er appearance, spoke to tease. “怎么？你也有怕的时候。”石牧看着彩儿的样子,不由出言调侃道。 „Who feared, snort/hum!” Cai'er hears word, holds up the head, obstinate argumentative saying. “谁怕了,哼！”彩儿闻言,一昂头,嘴硬的说道。 „Right, just that did the parrot and you what's the matter, do you have enmity probably?” Shi Mu hehe smiles, asking that immediately the brow tip selects. “对了,刚刚那个乾鹦和你是怎么回事,你们好像有过节？”石牧呵呵一笑,随即眉梢一挑的问道。 Cai'er moved a body, in the eye revealed color of the hate, opened the mouth saying: „Snort! The bastard and I am a sworn enemy, if not for it, I by Fatty Ju......, will not be Su Sheng Daoist will summon initially, could not think of enemies often cross each other's path, will also bump into it unexpectedly here!” 彩儿挪动了一下身体,眼中露出一丝怨恨之色,开口道:“哼！那混蛋和俺是死对头,若不是它,俺当初也不会被鞠胖子……不,是栗升真人召唤走,想不到冤家路窄,竟在这里也会碰到它！” The Shi Mu look moves, nods, said: „It seems like among you enmity is big, if needs me to help, said although.” 石牧眼神一动,点了点头,道:“看来你们之间仇怨不小,若是需要我帮忙,尽管说。” „Do this words take seriously?” Cai'er one stood, pleasantly surprised saying. “此话当真？”彩儿一下站了起来,惊喜的说道。 „Naturally real.” Shi Mu said. “自然是真的。”石牧说道。 Then, he looked at one in the inner city direction, the body moved, flew toward the inn. 说完,他朝着内城方向看了一眼,身体一动,朝着客栈飞去。 ...... …… At nightfall, Shi Mu that restaurant that returns to them to leave, before entered quietly, scheduled good room. 入夜时分,石牧回到了他们离开的那家酒楼,悄无声息的进入了之前预定好的房间。 After the moment, his eyes closed sits above the wooden bed in room, does not have cultivation Cultivation Technique, or controlling one's breathing training, but is lost in thought. 片刻后,他闭目坐在房间内的木床之上,却没有修炼功法,或者调息修养,而是陷入了沉思中。 Not far away, Cai'er stands in one alone near the cam wood square table of window on, holds in the mouth together Spirit Stone, „snap snap” chewed. 不远处,彩儿独自站在一张临窗的紫木方桌上,叼起一块灵石,“咔嚓咔嚓”地嘴嚼了起来。 A moment later, it will then put in order Spirit Stone to swallow into the abdomen all, feels spiritual power of overflowing full whole body, in eyes appears some colors of satisfaction, cannot bear a both wings spin, revolved on the table, sees Shi Mu to stay the appearance on bed. 片刻之后,其便将整块灵石尽数吞入腹中,感受到溢满全身的灵力,双眼中浮现出些许满足之色,忍不住双翅一旋,在桌上旋转了一圈,就看到石牧呆坐在床上的模样。 „Shi Tou (stone), after you come back, has sat is in a daze, what is thinking? Thinks the wife?” Cai'er asked. “石头,你回来后就一直坐着发呆,在想啥呢？是不是想媳妇儿呢？”彩儿问道。 „Before left but actually unconsciously to have anything, present to this Phoenix Wing City, some of my on the contrary worries.” Shi Mu looked at Cai'er one, says. “之前离得远倒不觉得有什么,如今到了这凤翼城,我反倒有些担心了。”石牧看了彩儿一眼,开口说道。 „What is worried about? My understood, what this called that...... near nostalgia to be timid, may I ask the person, but you were near Xiu Er sentiment cut, was very at heart hurried, yes?” Cai'er teased with a smile. “担心啥？哦,俺知道了,这叫那什么……近乡情更怯,不敢问来人,而你这是近秀儿情更切,心里十分慌,是吧？”彩儿笑着调侃道。 „I worried, if Xiu Er if here, the boundless Tianhe star territory, where I shouldn't go to look for her?” Shi Mu has not paid attention to teasing of Cai'er, sighed lightly. “我只是担心,万一秀儿要是不在这里,茫茫天河星域,我又该去哪里找她？”石牧没有理会彩儿的调侃,轻叹了口气道。 „I thought you am the consideration in excess, this not like you! Now all sorts of signs showed, Elder Sister Zhong Xiu in this Heavenly Phoenix clan, will not be wrong!” Cai'er agitates the wing to say. “俺看你是思虑过甚了,这可不像你啊！现在种种迹象表明,钟秀姐姐就在这天凤一族,不会错了！”彩儿鼓动着翅膀道。 „After all has not seen with own eyes.” Shi Mu said. “毕竟尚未亲眼见到。”石牧说道。 „Draws back one step, you did not inquire that the past years carried off the news of her person, different had the means to find the Elder Sister bell news through her. Moreover, you go to inner city today, does not have achieved nothing, did not inquire many news.” Cai'er takes a walk on the desktop back and forth, while said with Shi Mu seriously that manner just like an old pedant of teaching. “退一步来说,你不是也打听到了当年带走她的那个人的消息了,通过她不一样有办法找到钟姐姐的消息么。另外,你今天去内城这一趟,也不是一无所获,不也打探到了不少消息。”彩儿一边来回在桌面上走动,一边一本正经地跟石牧说道,那神态活脱脱就是一个教书的老学究。 „Let us hope so.” Shi Mu hear of Cai'er said rationally, slightly is at heart peaceful. “但愿如此。”石牧听彩儿说得头头是道,心里稍安。 In the meantime, outside the door resounded the An Hua sound. 就在此时,房门外响起了安华的声音。 „Young Master, I and others.” The An Hua respectful sound said. “公子,我等回来了。”安华恭声说道。 „Comes.” Shi Mu said. “进来吧。”石牧说道。 Only listens to „” a sound to move, the Shi Mu door opens inward, Shu Youjin before, Fang Zhen An Hua two people, walked in turn. 只听“吱呀”一声响动,石牧的房门朝内打开,舒有金在前,方臻安华两人在后,依次走了进来。 On several faces has several points of exciting color mostly. 几个人脸上大都带着几分兴奋之色。 „What kind of, what special news at the reception ceremony can have?” When several people enter the room to sit down, Shi Mu opens the mouth to ask. “怎么样,接风典礼上可有什么特别的消息？”待几人进屋坐下,石牧开口问道。 „Brother Shi, you have not gone to the ceremony venue, but does not have the fine sights seriously.” Shu Youjin eyes is flashing the bright, saying of being in high spirits. “石兄,你没有去典礼现场,可当真是没有眼福啊。”舒有金双眼闪着亮光,神采飞扬的说道。 „Yes, Young Master, you do not know, a female in this Heavenly Phoenix clan, each one is the peerless beautiful woman.” A An Hua head red hair swayed, said excitedly. “是啊,公子,你是不知道,这天凤一族中的女子,个个都是都是绝世美女。”安华头上红发一摆,也兴奋地说道。 Shi Mu listened to smile impartially, has not said anything, the two were actually Taotao's unceasing keeping saying. 石牧听了只是不置可否地笑了笑,没有说什么,那两人却是涛涛不绝的说个不停。 „Said, but also is the new saintess is seriously most beautiful.” Shu Youjin acclaimed said. “不过说起来,还当真要数新任圣女最为美丽。”舒有金赞叹说道。 „Is away from a veil, can you also look? I look not necessarily.” An Hua actually too does not approve of said. “隔着一层面纱,你也能看出来？我看未必吧。”安华却是不太赞同地说道。 „No, he said right, the beauty bearing of new saintess, is other Heavenly Phoenix Race females is hard to attain absolutely.” After Fang Zhen comes back, had not spoken, at this moment actually says suddenly, on the face full is the grave color. “不,他说的没错,新任圣女的姿色气度,绝对是其他天凤族女子难以企及的。”方臻回来后一直没有说话,此刻却是突然开口说道,脸上满是庄重之色。 „, Does that new saintess have what special place?” Shi Mu somewhat optional asking. “哦,那新任圣女有何特别之处？”石牧有些随意的问道。 „Saintess, although is a Heavenly Phoenix clan, has not actually put on the bright red color with other day of wind clansmen generally, but wears a duck clothing, serves as contrast very perfectly the graceful physique. The fine gauze obstructs the surface, the flesh wins the snow, pair of willow eyebrows such as black ink like the black, eyes bright like the star, in the eye is flashing mild rays of light, quite the same as not Heavenly Phoenix Race person like that brilliant threatening, instead another made one want the intimate temperate feeling.” In the Fang Zhen mouth is so saying, in the facial features appears the obvious infatuated color, obviously already likes about this saintess. “圣女虽为天凤一族,却并未与其他天风族人一般穿着朱红之色,而是穿着一袭水绿衣衫,将曼妙体态衬托得十分完美。其轻纱遮面,肌肤胜雪,一双柳眉如墨如黛,双眸明亮如星,眼中闪动着温润的光芒,浑然不似天凤族人那般灼灼逼人,反而却又一股令人想要亲近的温和之感。”方臻口中这般说着,眉眼中浮现出明显的痴迷之色,显然已经对这圣女十分喜欢。 The Shi Mu hear, the brow is actually a wrinkle, in the heart surges a complex feeling. 石牧听罢,眉头却是一皱,心中涌起一丝复杂之感。 „Shi Tou (stone), I listen to him to describe, how to think that this saintess somewhat does seem like Elder Sister bell?” Cai'er laid bare in the Shi Mu heart to think. “石头,俺听他这么描述,怎么觉得这个圣女有些像是钟姐姐呢？”彩儿一语道破了石牧心中所想。 „Is this saintess what cultivation base?” The Shi Mu brow is tight, both hands grab the sides of the bed tightly, opens the mouth to ask. “这圣女是何修为？”石牧眉头紧蹙,双手紧抓着床沿,开口问道。 „I am supposing, at least also has Saint Rank Late Stage, the aura is very great.” The Shu Youjin eyeball transferred the revolutions, replied fast. “我估摸着,起码也有圣阶后期,气息十分宏大。”舒有金眼珠子转了转,飞快答道。 „That should not be Elder Sister bell, I remember that you have said that she carried off Earth Rank cultivation base, even if awakened the bloodlines, is still insufficient to reach the Saint Rank peak quickly?” Cai'er said. “那应该不是钟姐姐吧,俺记得你说过,她被带走的时候才不过地阶修为,即使觉醒了血脉,也不至于这么快就达到圣阶巅峰吧？”彩儿说道。 „I am indefinite, after all bloodlines of Heavenly Phoenix clan, cannot by common sense it.” Shi Mu said dignified. “我也不确定,毕竟天凤一族的血脉,也是不能以常理度之的。”石牧神情凝重地说道。 However, he shakes the head, said: „She came from Blue Sea Star, is Human Race, even if within the body awakened the Heavenly Phoenix bloodlines, should be is impossible to become a saintess of Heavenly Phoenix clan.” 不过紧接着,他又摇了摇头,说道:“她出身于蓝海星,乃是人族,即便体内觉醒了天凤血脉,应该是不可能成为天凤一族的圣女。” Shu Youjin three people of you have a look at me, I have a look at you, no one has seen Shi Mu this appearance, all seems somewhat helpless. 舒有金三人你看看我,我看看你,谁也没有见过石牧这副模样,全都显得有些不知所措。 „Can you know this saintess given name? But called Zhong Xiu?” The Shi Mu vision goes to the Shu Youjin three people, opens the mouth to ask. “你们可知道这圣女名讳？可是叫钟秀？”石牧目光投向舒有金三人,开口问道。 „This...... as far as I know, in the saintess given name indeed has the show character, is actually not Zhong Xiu, but is Zhao Lingxiu.” Shu Youjin said without hesitation. “这……据我所知,圣女名讳中的确是有个秀字,却不是钟秀,而是赵灵秀。”舒有金不假思索说道。 The Shi Mu hear, in the surface appears a hesitating color, lowers the head to ponder. 石牧听罢,面上又浮现出一阵犹疑之色,低下了头沉思起来。 A moment later, Shi Mu raised the head suddenly, said seriously: „I must participate in the selection.” 片刻之后,石牧忽然抬起头来,郑重说道:“我要参加选拔。” „What?” Fang Zhen and Shu Youjin hear this words, simultaneously said in great surprise. “什么？”方臻和舒有金听到此话,同时大惊说道。 „Brother Shi, if goes into action, I also can only give up pursuing the saintess. However if can enter first ten, not only can gain a rich reward, the position in own clan also decides however can promote much, pours also harvests many.” Shu Youjin Hehe smiles to say. “石兄若是出马,那我也就只能放弃追求圣女了。不过若是能够进入前十,非但可以获取一笔丰厚奖励,在自己族中的地位也定然能够提升不少,倒也收获颇丰。”舒有金嘿嘿一笑说道。 „Two, Shi has reason that has to attend this war, if this saintess is really Shi old friend, that was the absolute monarch comes not to marry her. If not, I will not struggle first going. I am also carrying the great trust of Filling the Sky Giant Ape clan, perhaps also only then proves itself in this war, enables a Filling the Sky Giant Ape clan to feel proud and elated, thus facilitates it and an alliance of Heavenly Phoenix clan.” Shi Mu slightly hesitates, said. “两位,石某有不得不参加此战的理由,若这圣女真是石某故人,那便是天王老子来了也别想娶她。如若不是,我也不会强争个第一名去。况且我还身负着弥天巨猿一族之重托,恐怕也只有在此战中证明自己,来使得弥天巨猿一族扬眉吐气,从而促成其与天凤一族的联盟。”石牧略一沉吟,如此说道。 Fang Zhen hears this word, complexion slightly slow, as if saw one point hopes. 方臻听得此言,面色稍缓,似乎又看到了一分希望。 „Brother Shi, since has this reason, from, when participates in the selection, if the congratulatory gift is insufficient, my Shu is also willing to assist Brother Shi 12.” The Shu Youjin hear said immediately. “石兄既然有此理由,自当参与选拔,若是贺礼不够的话,我舒某也愿意相助石兄一二。”舒有金听罢立即说道。 „That say/way does not need, but does not know that I and others all did not have a Heavenly Phoenix clan invitation, can have the means to participate in this matter?” Shi Mu beckons with the hand, asked. “那道不必,只是不知我等皆无天凤一族请柬,可有办法参与此事？”石牧一摆手,又问道。 „In this point, a Heavenly Phoenix clan does is sincere, has not blocked in hundred clans completely some little family's method.” Shu Youjin so said. “这一点上,天凤一族做的还算厚道,并未完全封死百族中一些较小家族的门路。”舒有金这般说道。 „What's wrong? What way but has?” Shi Mu asked. “怎么？可是有什么途径？”石牧问道。 „Opens reports Young Master. A Heavenly Phoenix clan arranges in view of various clan juniors who without invitation actually come with admiration like this, so long as its can put out enough congratulatory gift, then can obtain one time the opportunity of accepting the examination, so long as through the examination, after can participate during official selection.” An Hua says. “启禀公子。天凤一族针对没有请柬却慕名而来的各族子弟是这样安排的,只要其能够拿出足够的贺礼,便可以获得一次接受检验的机会,只要通过检验,便可参与到之后的正式选拔之中。”安华开口说道。 „What examines?” Shi Mu has not opened the mouth, Cai'er first asked. “什么检验？”石牧尚未开口,彩儿抢先问道。 „Early tomorrow morning, Heavenly Phoenix Race in the Phoenix Wing City the intersection point of inner city and outer city, sets up a school ground, arranging God Realm to exist to examine these not to have the participant of invitation. This wants the these person to receive the strength of God Realm powerhouse striking, then can obtain the qualifications of participation selection.” An Hua continues to say. “明日一早,天凤族会在凤翼城内城和外城的交界处,设立一处校场,安排一名神境存在来检验这些没有请柬的参与者。这要这些人能够接下神境强者一击之力,便可以获得参与正是选拔的资格。”安华继续说道。 „By the common juniors, receives the God Realm powerhouse to strike? Was this condition too also difficult to achieve?” Cai'er calls out in alarm said. “以寻常子弟而言,接下神境强者一击？这个条件也太难达成了吧？”彩儿惊呼道。 „Therefore, to participating in the person of examination has not requested, it can use any secret technique and treasure, so long as receives this to strike then.” Shu Youjin added. “所以,对参与检验之人没有要求,其可以使用任何秘术和宝物,只要接下这一击便可以。”舒有金补充道。 „Such being the case, diverges respectively, early tomorrow morning, we go together are.” Shi Mu hears word, expression too has not changed. “既然如此,就各自散去吧,明日一早,我们一起前去便是。”石牧闻言,神色没有太多变化。 Three people should, draw back. 三人一齐应下,退了出去。 The 2nd day, beginning morning sun. 第二日,朝阳初起。 Shi Mu one group of come out from the inn early, hurries to the city across Zhuque Avenue. 石牧一行人早早地就从客栈出来,穿过朱雀大街一路向城中赶去。 Walked roughly half quarter, the people saw eave corner/horn that the inner city palace soars high, with above golden hot phoenix sculpture. 走了约莫半刻钟,众人就看到了内城宫殿高高飞起的檐角,和其上金色的火凤雕塑。 In the intersection point of inner city and outer city, is Out burning luminary of inner city, is higher than ground three chi (0.33 m) vermilion side Tai, the surrounding area has the hundred zhang (333 m) fully, its periphery, already encircled completely various clan juniors of all forms again. 在内城与外城的交界处,也就是内城的灼曜门外,有一处高出地面三尺的朱红色方台,方圆足有百丈,再其周围,已经围满了形形色色的各族子弟。 And majority naturally wears the Monster Race juniors who various clan clothing dress up. 其中大部分自然是身着各族服饰装扮的妖族子弟。 Shi Mu estimated sketchily, then already have several ten thousand people, but at this time in several directions, but also some people were catching up continuously. 石牧粗略的估计了一下,便已经有数万人了,而此时好几个方向上,还有人在络绎不绝的赶了过来。
