Xingchao nods to echo one. 话完,林兴焯点点头附和一句。 Yes, we, although has heard some in the downtown streets, wonderful that but was passed on by these people, even the baseless and irrational concoctions, basically did not have many credibility.” “是啊,咱们虽然在坊市听说过一些,但是被那些人传的神乎其神,甚至胡编乱造,基本没有多少可信度了。” Hears this word, Lin Tianming then turns on a record player, immediately said the process of war simply, but these bad risk scenes, he has not said is very detailed. 听闻此言,林天明这才打开话匣,随即将大战的过程简单的说了起来,不过那些凶险至极的场面,他并没有说的很详细。 After less than half quarter, the clansmen roughly understood the general process, thus was shocked. 小半刻钟过后,族人们大致了解了大概过程,从而被震撼到了。 Hears that third-order late roaring flame Tian to lead, the powerful blood flood dragon, nine third-order monster beasts add on the powerful lineup that tens of thousands monster beasts compose, the upfront shake five big gold/metal pill Cultivator hardly, in addition real Yangzong two third-order spirit beasts, a clansman shocking in the extreme. 听闻那三阶后期的烈焰天狮带队,还有强大的血蛟,九只三阶妖兽加上几万只妖兽组成的强大阵容,正面硬撼五大金丹修士,加上真阳宗两只三阶灵兽,一众族人被震惊的无以复加。 Especially the first two wars, the person the overall strength of clan army has not profited, was that two slaughters to finish, person clan Cultivator loss several tenths strength. 特别是头两战,人族大军的整体实力并没有占到便宜,也就是那两场厮杀结束,人族修士的损失几成力量。 However jumps over will tow in the future, the person clan Cultivator turned over the aspect, thus occupied absolutely the initiative. 不过越往后拖,人族修士将局面翻转了过来,从而占据了绝对主动权。 But this war continued for more than one year, in this period every large or small battle had had more than ten times, finally depends upon the stubborn resistance of person of clan Cultivator, this ended this beast tide attack. 而这一战持续了一年多,期间大大小小的厮杀有过十几次,最终依靠人族修士的顽强抵抗,这才结束了这一场兽潮袭击。 However, beast tide, although finished, this frigid war by peaceful, will be repaired the paradise also gradually to restore in those days the magnificent scene sooner or later. 然而,兽潮虽然结束了,这一场惨烈的大战迟早会被澹化,修仙界也逐渐恢复往日盛景。 However these fall from the sky in battlefield person clan Cultivator, truly loss, these person of back family members or the influences, are actually cannot put behind for a very long time. 但是那些陨落在战场的人族修士,确实实打实的损失,那些人背后的亲人或者势力,却是久久不能忘却的。 Although had previously heard some news, understands the brutality of this beast tide attack. 虽然此前就听说过一些消息,也明白这兽潮袭击的残酷。 After all, this is the war of race, Cultivator of what status, has certain relations with this matter. 毕竟,这是种族之战,无论是什么身份的修士,和此事都有着一定的关系。 However said from the Lin Tianming mouth, they then felt the real sense of this war, as well as behind that bloody brutal fact. 但是从林天明口中说出来的,他们这才感受到了这场大战的真正意义,以及那背后血腥残酷的事实。 Returns to normal with great difficulty, a mood of clansman slightly not low, instead surged upward.

Lin Family takes the example, although took the enormous risk, but many clansmen obtained the life and death to be informed and experienced, cultivated/repaired also to promote for the strength rapidly. 就说林家作为例子,虽然承担了极大的风险,但是许多族人得到了生死历练,修为实力也快速提升了起来。 And Lin Tianming directly participated in the war, cultivating for is also the rapid promotion, cultivating of other clansmen to generally promote 1-2 boundaries similarly. 其中林天明更是直接参与了大战,修为也是飞速提升,其它族人的修为同样普遍提升了1-2境界。 Except for this, this beast tide finished, many Cultivator yielded massive incomes, can in the person who in the war lives, all obtained should have the return that. 除此以外,这一场兽潮结束,许多修士获得了大量的收益,能够在大战中活下来的人,全都得到了该有的回报。 But the Lin Family outdoor shop big of shop, the undertaken risk is also big, but harvests is really above the imagination, at least the income went far beyond expected. 林家摊子虽然铺的大,承担的风险也大,但是收获是真的超乎想象,最起码收益远远超过了预期。 Thinks of these, Lin Tianming is also pleased, in the heart cannot bear sigh one. 想到这些,林天明也不禁感到很欣慰,心中也忍不住感叹一句。 Really is the risk and opportunity is coexists, the withstood risk is bigger, the income is also bigger.” “果然是风险和机遇是并存的,承受的风险越大,收益也就越大啊。” Has returned to the mind, Lin Tianming and several clansmen chats several, then took the lead to leave fell cloud pavilion, leading Qin Xi to return to the Lin Family cave mansion yard. 回过心神,林天明和几位族人闲聊几句,便率先离开了落云阁,带着秦曦回到了林家的洞府小院中。 Next morning. 次日清晨。 In some room in cave mansion, Lin Tianming boldly thrusts forward, did from the stone bed. 洞府的某一间房间之中,林天明一个挺身,从石床之上做了起来。 He long breathes a sigh of relief, is feeling the strength

mansion. 不一会儿时间,他走出了房间,来到了洞府的小院中。 At this time, Lin Tianyue wind several people are sitting together, drinks tea while to chat. 此时,林天风几人正围坐在一起,一边喝茶一边闲聊起来。 Sees him to come out, the Lin Tianyue wind sets out to greet hastily, immediately greeted Lin Tianming to sit the same place. 见到他出来,林天风连忙起身打招呼,随即招呼林天明坐到一起。 The Lin Tianyue wind gives him to pour on one cup of spirit tea, then teased ; Sixth Brother, today's facial expression has a liking for well.” 紧接着,林天风给他倒上一杯灵茶,然后打趣道;“六弟,今日的气色看上起还不错啊。” Tomato novel 西红柿小说 Hehe, the past few days exhausted dissipation, the facial expression naturally cannot miss.” “呵呵,前些天的疲惫消散,气色自然不会差啊。” Lin Tianming returned to one with a smile, immediately has turned the head, discovered Qin Xizhan in the entrance of corridor. 林天明笑着回了一句,随即转过头,发现秦曦站在走廊的入口。 His

same. 听到这称呼,林天风神色疑惑,似乎听到了什么劲爆消息一般。 His eyes stubbornly is staring at Lin Tianming, seems like waiting for the explanation of Lin Tianming. 他一双眼睛死死的盯着林天明,似乎是等待着林天明的解释。 At this time, Lin Tianming then discovered audience several clansmen, the eye all opened the eyes big, on the face the faint smile expression, looked somewhat strange. 这时候,林天明这才发现全场数位族人,眼睛全都睁的大大的,脸上似笑非笑的表情,看上去有些诡异。 Lin Tianming cannot bear face red, awkward introduced ; „The situation of sunlight, everyone has known, has had to do, did not need me to say anything.” 林天明忍不住老脸一红,尴尬的介绍道;“曦儿的情况,各位都已经知晓,也都打过交道,就不用我多说什么了吧。” After these two years being together, I planned that becomes a companion with sunlight, tracks down the immortal main road together.” “经过这两年来的相处,我打算和曦儿结为道侣,共同追寻长生大道。” Finishes speaking, the clansman of audience erupts the hearty laughter immediately, the atmosphere is very lively. 话音刚落,全场的族人顿时爆发出热烈的笑声,气氛好不热闹。 And the Lin Tianyue wind smiles, immediately before standing up to run up to Qin Xi the body, said submissively ; Hehe...... the sister-in-law is about to sit.” 其中林天风嘿嘿一笑,随即站起身跑到秦曦的身前,拱手道;“嘿嘿……弟妹快过来坐。” Hears this word, Qin Xi could also not bear the elegant face one red, but quick returned to normal. 听闻此言,秦曦同样忍不住俏脸一红,不过很快就恢复了正常。 She bent the body to return to a ritual, immediately opened the mouth to say ; Big brother must be so overly courteous not, should be I salutes upon meeting to same clan is.” 她屈身回了一礼,随即开口道;“大哥莫要如此多礼,应该是我向各位同族见礼才是。” Sister-in-law was too polite, sits quickly sits quickly.” “弟妹太客气了,快坐快坐。” Under welcome of Lin Tianyue wind, Qin Xi salutes toward

not only extraordinary, in addition humble courteous, will not have to work as the bystander. 她的举动,不仅气质非凡,加上谦逊有礼,丝毫没有将自己当外人。 Except for this, Qin Xi was the Lin Tianming say/way companion, her cultivating was the strength, was this status, no one dares to take advantage of own seniority. 除此以外,秦曦是林天明的道侣,无论是她本身的修为实力,还是这身份,就无人敢倚老卖老。 So in the situation, a clansman returns a courtesy hastily, the attitude is quite sincere, in the heart also satisfies. 这般情况下,一众族人连忙回礼,态度极为诚恳,心中也大为满意。 As Qin Xi sat side Lin Tianming, the people then returned to normal slowly, the smile of but on the face

听到这话,林天明澹然一笑,反正他已经做好了准备,被逼着成婚也没什么大不了。 Furthermore, their day character generation of clansman, gradually was the age of marriage. 再者而言,他们天字辈族人,也逐渐达到了婚配的年纪。 Although over 40 years old get married,
