It is said Earth Dragon Race for this matter may make many preparations, their Young Master also come personally to participate in the selection, is this time popular candidate.” Shu Youjin nods to say. “不错。话说这次典礼还真是盛大,不仅地龙、磬龟两族派出长老亲临,连那些久不出世却底蕴深厚的其他家族也都纷纷出动了。据说地龙族为了此事可做了不少准备,他们的少主也来亲自参加遴选,还是此次的热门人选。”舒有金点点头道。 Fang Zhen stands in the one side, has not replied, but vision brilliant is staring at white eyebrows old man on observing stage right side seat. 方臻站在一旁,却没答话,只是目光灼灼的盯着观战台右侧一处座椅上的白眉老者。 „Is that Patriarch of your purple eyeball demon cow clan?” Shu Youjin looks following the Fang Zhen vision, asked. “那是你紫睛魔牛一族的族长吧？”舒有金顺着方臻目光望去,问道。 Fang Zhen sighed lightly, nods. 方臻轻叹了口气,点了点头。 At this time, the people of surroundings many attending the ceremony, even stands left side of heavenly pit the person, will have the blazing vision to go to most probably close to observing middle line position. 此时,周围不少观礼之人,甚至连站在天坑左侧之人,都有大半将炽热的目光投向了靠近观战台中心线的位置处。 There sits one to wear the duck cheongsam, the young woman who the surface wears the fine gauze, actually new saintess Zhao Lingxiu of Heavenly Phoenix clan. 那里坐着一个身穿水绿长衫,面戴轻纱的年轻女子,却正是天凤一族的新任圣女赵灵秀。 Right her, golden robe Zhao Xuanji, with creamy white skin, face glowing with health, is slanting the body to be attached to her ear bank winning smile to sue anything sweet lightly, two people relate seem like are quite actually intimate. 在她右侧,一袭金袍的赵璇玑,肤如凝脂,容光焕发,正斜着身子附在她耳畔巧笑嫣然地轻诉着什么,两人关系看起来倒是颇为亲密。 The saintesses are listening to her words, once for a while nods to express the support, occasionally also the facial features move curved, show several points of happy expression. 圣女听着她的话语,时不时点点头表示赞同,偶尔还眉眼弯动,露出几分笑意。 However, although its to reveal the complete picture, obstructs under the duplicate face by the fine gauze, the frown and smile, a shape color, stirs up around heavenly pit the people to admire to admire as before. 然而,其虽为露出全貌,以轻纱遮覆的面庞下,一颦一笑,一形一色,依旧惹得天坑周围众人歆慕不已。 Left side of saintess, then also sits one to wear the phoenix coronet, wears the females of seven color feather robes, its expression somewhat is quite serious, sees two people chatting already to annoy the attention of person of surrounding, was sideways to remind one. 在圣女左侧,则还坐着一位头戴凤冠,身披七彩羽衣的女子,其神色颇有几分严肃,见两人的谈笑已经惹来围观之人的关注,便侧身提醒了一句。 The two listen, immediately restrained the color of laughter, sits respectfully. 那两人听罢,立即收敛了嬉笑之色,正襟危坐起来。 In addition, such as a gold/metal wind mother-in-law and Madam Zhen of Heavenly Phoenix clan, an elder witch of Rock Tortoise clan said that as well as God Realm of earth dragon clan can greatly Di Feng, impressively in row. 此外,诸如天凤一族的金风婆婆、轸夫人,磐龟一族的长老巫云,以及地龙一族的神境大能狄峰,也都赫然在列。 „stretch/leisurely Young Master, I looked that the time was also up, perhaps this time competed with must start, Young Master Shi he feared that could not catch up.” Fang Zhen looked up the rising sun that rose slowly, somewhat worried that said. “舒公子,我看时间也差不多了,此番比试恐怕也要开始了,石公子他怕是赶不上了。”方臻抬起头看了看正在徐徐上升的初阳,有些担忧地说道。 „Brother Shi he works consistently has the discretion assurance very much, should not harm the proper business. To come also to arrive immediately.” In the Shu Youjin mouth so that said that brow actually also slightly pressed. “石兄他做事一向很有分寸把握,应该不会误了正事。想来马上也就该到了。”舒有金口中这般那说道,眉头却也微微蹙了一下。 Obviously some of his surprise, Shi Mu was also discovered the disappearing trail from early morning, has not arrived unexpectedly. 显然他也有些诧异,石牧从清晨便被发现不见了踪迹,竟至今未到。 Roughly after half double-hour, Shu Youjin and Fang Zhen do not have as before, when Shi Mu trace. 约莫半个时辰之后,舒有金和方臻依旧没有等到石牧的踪影。 „Brother Shi possibly really has what important matter processing, your my two people strive for success with every effort and that's the end.” Shu Youjin looked at stone platform, says. “石兄可能真的有什么要事处理,你我二人尽力拼搏就是了。”舒有金看了一眼石台,开口说道。 „Good.” Fang Zhen nimble and efficient should under. “好。”方臻爽利应下。 In the meantime, on observing stage finally wears the scarlet brocade robe sent the old man to stand scarlet, clears throat, bright sound said: „Spares no efforts, does not hesitate ten thousand li (0.5 km) rushes to this clan, and others rejoiced the luck of saintess taking over with me, made in my clan you honor my humble home. Old man Zhao vermilion with, a representative Heavenly Phoenix clan, thanked everyone to visit.” 就在此时,观战台上终于有一名身穿赤红锦袍的赤发老者站了出来,清了清嗓子,朗声道:“诸位不辞辛劳,不惜万里的赶赴本族,与我等同庆圣女接任之福,令我族中蓬荜生辉。老夫赵朱同,代表天凤一族,衷心感谢各位莅临。” Sends the old man to be in high spirits scarlet, the aura that the sound such as the copper bell, the whole body lends is very powerful, unexpectedly impressively is a God Realm Early Stage powerhouse. 赤发老者精神矍铄,声如铜钟,浑身散发出的气息十分强大,竟赫然是一名神境初期强者。 Such remarks, presenting everyone is the spirit inspires, the audience is completely silent. 此言一出,在场所有人俱是精神一振,全场鸦雀无声。 „It seems like must start.” The Fang Zhen vision looks to Zhao vermilion with that side, small sound said. “看来是要开始了。”方臻目光望向赵朱同那边,小声道。 „In time was up, is only somewhat strange.” Some Shu Youjin quite doubts said. “时间上差不多了,只是有些奇怪。”舒有金颇有一些疑惑地说道。 „Where does stretch/leisurely brother find it strange?” The Fang Zhen surprise asked. “舒兄觉得哪里奇怪？”方臻诧异问道。 „You have a look to observe center stage three Stone Chair. The so grand ceremony, three large clans gather the influence in addition taking this opportunity the goal, Heavenly Phoenix and Qing turtles and earth dragon three clan Patriarch kiss to inevitably.” Shu Youjin said that “你看看观战台正中的三张石椅。如此盛大的典礼,加上三大族借此机会聚集势力的目的,天凤、磬龟和地龙三族族长必然亲至。”舒有金如此说道, „Right, that three Stone Chair must then be three people of seats of honor, how also is also emptying?” Fang Zhen one surprised. “对,那三张石椅应当便是三人的主座,怎么还都还空着？”方臻一愕。 „Believes everyone understood. Before conducts officially the saintess takes over the grand ceremony, needs first to conduct several rounds of competition, Dual Cultivation companion who chooses saintess. Because this sports event is important, among participant will have many people to come this Vermilion Star for the first time, perhaps many people too have not adapted to here environment. In my clan the saintess shows solicitude for pain, will compete with the time to start the time specially, postpones a double-hour.” Zhao vermilion with continue say. “相信大家都知道了。在正式举办圣女接任大典之前,需要先进行几轮比试,来挑选出圣女的双修伴侣。由于此次赛事重大,将之诸位参赛者当中有不少人还是首次来这朱雀星,恐怕还有不少人对这里的环境不太适应。我族中圣女体恤各位辛劳,特此将比试时间开始之期,延后一个时辰。”赵朱同继续说道。 His these words saying, stirred up left side of heavenly pit dozens various clan juniors who actually attended the competition, some looked at each other in blank dismay, helpless. 他这番话一说,倒是惹得天坑左侧的数十名参加比试的各族子弟,有些面面相觑,不知所措。 „Can advance, in this gossips on Martial Arts Platform, oneself are familiar, after a double-hour, the competition starts on time.” Zhao vermilion with somewhat said slightly awkwardly. “诸位可以先行在这八卦演武台上,自己熟悉一下,一个时辰后,比试准时开始。”赵朱同略微有些尴尬地说道。 „stretch/leisurely Young Master, how this...... do we go should do?” Fang Zhen could not somewhat have clarified the situation suddenly. “舒公子,这……我们接下去该怎么做？”方臻一时间还有些摸不清情况。 „They big Patriarch arrive and other, therefore postponed a double-hour, but this to a Brother Shi actually good deed.” Shu Youjin said with a smile. “他们是在等三大族长到场,所以延后了一个时辰,不过这对石兄倒是件好事。”舒有金笑着说道。 Fang Zhen hear, approves of nods. 方臻听罢,也赞同地点了点头。 In that dozens participating juniors, most people do not know what to do looked at each other in blank dismay to get up, only then on a few diving postures gossipped Martial Arts Platform, was familiar with the arena seriously. 那数十名参赛子弟中,大多数人也都不知如何是好地面面相觑起来,只有少数几个飞身上了八卦演武台,当真熟悉起来擂台了。 ...... …… The blue space somewhere, the escaping light flies to shoot to come from the distant place together, in an instant to the near, appeared the Shi Mu form. 蓝色空间某处,一道遁光从远处飞射而来,转眼间到了近前,现出石牧的身影。 His complexion gloomy at this moment, brow tight wrinkle. 此刻的他脸色阴沉,眉头紧皱。 His already flew in this blue space some little time, looks for the outlet, has not actually harvested slightly. 他已经在这个蓝色空间中飞了好一会,寻找出路,却丝毫没有收获。 What only understanding is this blue space big astonishment, he flew is so long, did not have sign to the end. 唯一了解的是这个蓝色空间大的惊人,他飞了这么久,丝毫没有到头的迹象。 At this moment, Cai'er flew from the Spirit Beast bag, the facial expression compared with was good a moment ago, but has not recovered completely. 就在此刻,彩儿从灵兽袋中飞了出来,气色比起刚才好了很多,不过还没有完全伤愈。 It looked at several toward the surroundings, said surprisedly: „Well, where is here? The fellow of that blue robe? Shi Tou (stone) you homicide.” 它朝周围看了几眼,惊疑道:“咦,这里是哪里？那个蓝袍的家伙呢？石头你把他杀了。” Shi Mu optional nod, is somewhat absent-minded. 石牧随意的点了点头,有些心不在焉。 „Shi Tou (stone), you were getting more and more fierce!” Cai'er looks at Shi Mu with a surprised vision. “石头,你越来越厉害了啊！”彩儿用一种惊奇的目光看着石牧。 „Horse buttocks did not need to pat, what now we must consider was how to go out from here.” Shi Mu said lightly, in the eye reveals an anxious color. “马屁就不用拍了,现在我们要考虑的是怎么从这里出去。”石牧淡淡说道,眼中露出一丝焦急之色。 This moment outside estimate the dawn, the ceremony must perhaps also start. 此刻外面估计早已天亮,典礼恐怕也要开始了。 „I from was very just strange, where is here? Does not seem like in Formation restrictions.” Cai'er said. “俺从刚刚就很奇怪了,这里到底是什么地方？不像是阵法禁制里面啊。”彩儿说道。 „If I guess right, here should be in a Magical Treasure inner space.” Shi Mu said. “如果我猜的没错,这里应该是一个法宝的内部空间之中。”石牧说道。 „What, Magical Treasure space?” Cai'er surprised say/way. “什么,法宝空间？”彩儿惊讶道。 „As far as I know, Magical Treasure of some Spirit Treasure ranks, the interior possibly breeds the space.” The Shi Mu sinking sound said. “据我所知,有些灵宝级别的法宝,内部可能孕育出空间。”石牧沉声说道。 „How we must be able to leave, breaks open here with the brute force?” Cai'er asked. “那我们要怎么才能离开,用蛮力破开这里吗？”彩儿问道。 „This Magical Treasure master already was struck to kill by me, so long as we seek for Magical Treasure core restrictions, its refining up, should then be able to go out, but I looked some little time, definitely is unable to find here Formation restrictions trace.” Shi Mu shakes the head to say. “这个法宝的主人已经被我击杀,我们只要寻找到法宝的核心禁制,将其炼化,应该便能出去,只是我找了好一会,完全无法找到这里阵法禁制的痕迹。”石牧摇了摇头说道。 A simpler method, is to make Yan Luo summon the Dead Spirit World surface Shi Mu, this can leave this space. 还有一个更加简单的方法,就是让烟罗将石牧召唤到死灵界面,这样就能离开这个空间。 However after he arrived at the Dead Spirit World surface, Yan Luo did not have in the space coordinate of Tianhe star territory, Shi Mu must arrive at Vermilion Star more troublesome again, refining up this Magical Treasure more convenient. 不过他到了死灵界面后,烟罗在天河星域的空间坐标也就没有了,石牧要再次来到朱雀星更加麻烦,还是炼化这个法宝更方便。 „Doesn't matter, if by the eyesight, I may be fiercer than you. You could not find, I can definitely find!” Cai'er self-confident saying, displays spirit eye of divine ability, looks toward the surroundings. “没关系,若论目力,俺可比你厉害。你找不到,俺肯定能找到！”彩儿自信的说道,施展出灵目神通,朝着周围看去。 „That asked you.” Shi Mu said. “那就拜托你了。”石牧道。 Cai'er spirit eye of divine ability truly above him, they can definitely discover some clue jointly. 彩儿的灵目神通确实在他之上,他们联手肯定能发现一些端倪。 ...... …… A double-hour quickly in the past. 一个时辰很快过去。 On center stone pillar observing stage, that three coming between position as before hovering flights. 正中的石柱观战台上,那三个居中的位置依旧空悬。 At this time, several Heavenly Phoenix Race elders encircle around Grandma Jin Feng, seems talking anything. 此时,数名天凤族的长老围在金凤婆婆周围,似乎在交谈着什么。 A moment later, that named Zhao vermilion with sends the elder scarlet, before arriving at stage, said to the people clear and resonant voice: „Double-hour, this selection competition will soon have started, the old man will first compete with the regulation to inform in this.” 片刻之后,那名为赵朱同的赤发长老,重新来到台前,冲着众人朗声说道:“时辰已至,本次选拔比试即将开始,老夫先在此将比试细则告知诸位。” Such remarks, the scene is peaceful, everyone's vision neat falling above central stone pillar. 此言一出,现场再次安静下来,所有人的目光齐刷刷的落在了中央石柱之上。 The Shu Youjin vision takes a fast look around one after the surroundings, lets loose Divine Sense toward in all directions to inquire about one, then shakes the head to sigh: „This thinks, has the cushion of this double-hour, Brother Shi or can catch up promptly, now looks like, Brother Shi probably meets what urgent matter.” 舒有金目光在周围扫视一圈后,又放开神识朝四面八方探寻一阵,而后摇了摇头叹息道:“本以为,有这一个时辰的缓冲,石兄或能及时赶来,如今看来,石兄可能是遇到什么急事了。” Fang Zhen hears word, nods silently. 方臻闻言,默然地点了点头。 „This selection, there are 74 candidates. And, the family juniors in original Eight Desolate Ancient Race, as well as in the prestigious family prominent family juniors in my Tianhe star territory, according to his strength, the congratulatory gift precious degree that and family submits, selects ten people, may obtain two rounds to cease fighting the power, is promoted directly the final two rounds.” Zhao vermilion said with the speaker. “本次选拔,共有七十四位参选者。其中,原八荒古族中的家族子弟,以及我天河星域的名门望族子弟中,根据其自身实力,以及家族所提交的贺礼珍贵程度,共选出十人,可获得两轮免战权,直接晋级最后两轮。”赵朱同扬声说道。 Then, his palm wields, in midair appears immediately together golden light barrier, above ancient seal character body writes ten personal names, then has Fang Zhen Elder Brother Fang Ce, as well as is called „Dragon and Phoenix to match”, but broad pleasant good Earth Dragon Race Young Master Di Xiang. 说罢,其手掌一挥,半空中立即浮现一道金色光幕,上面古篆字体写着十个人名,其中便有方臻的哥哥方策,以及被称为“龙凤配”而广受看好的地龙族少主狄骧。 „What? Ceases fighting the power?” The Fang Zhen vision is staring at the Fang Ce name stubbornly, clenches teeth to say. “什么？还有免战权？”方臻目光死死地盯着方策的名字,咬牙说道。
