In the mountain valley the turbulent current goes through vertically together, runs into a giant stone to prevent, makes a turn suddenly. 山谷中一道激流纵贯而下,遇到一块巨石阻挡,陡然转了个弯。 But in the place of this curve, actually attacks a shoal. 而在这转弯之地,却冲击出一片浅滩。 On the shoal the smog winds around. 浅滩上烟雾缭绕。 This smog is not the water vapor surges, but is float in an in the air thing, disperses from eight holes. 这烟雾并非水汽激荡,而是悬浮在空中的一物,自其中的八个孔窍中散出。 This thing is all over the body dark, seems like a Chinese flowering quince, high and low both sides have four holes respectively, slowly blowout white smoke, very strange from the sky fluctuates. 此物通体黝黑,似乎是一只木瓜,上下两端各有四个孔窍,徐徐喷出白烟,十分诡异的在空中浮动。 Solely looks at the look of this thing, is hard unable to guess correctly its use decisively. However looked the spout that its under five colors flame continuously , the square position four beard and hair all white old man hands hold the palm-leaf fan, the finger press firmly between the fingers secret art. It is not difficult to guess correctly this is a furnace. 单单看此物之相貌,断然难以猜不出它的用途。但是看其下五色火光不住的喷涌,四方方位更有四个须发皆白的老者手执芭蕉扇,手指捏住法诀。却不难猜出这是一件炼炉。 Is pill refining or item refining, was unknown. 只是是炼丹还是炼器,就不得而知了。 That four old men, internal qi is perfectly round, synthesizes one bunch, rushing to horizon dozens li (0.5 km) is not loose, clearly has Separation and Reunion Boundary cultivation base. 那四名老者,气机浑圆,合成一束,冲上天际数十里而不散,分明已经有离合境的修为。 But nearby summit place, the middle-aged person sits cross-legged to wait and see, both eyes are bright. Although seems like the figure to be thin and small, but this place heaven and earth, is actually full one type to shine upon the marvelous implication in this person of heart always, just like inverts the hosts and visitors. 而一旁的山巅处,有一中年人盘膝观望,双目有神。虽然看似身形瘦小,但此间天地,却充盈着一种无时无刻映照此人心中的奇妙意蕴,俨然颠倒主客。 This clearly is Heavenly Profound High Perfected. 这分明是一位天玄上真。 After the quarter of an hour, the furnace of that Chinese flowering quince, the above hole spouts the extremely garish black smoke suddenly, damps, and is sending out the irritating the nose flavor. 一刻钟之后,那木瓜形的炼炉,上方孔窍忽然喷出极扎眼的黑烟,抑且散发着刺鼻的味道。 Four Separation and Reunion Boundary cultivator, are the complexion changes, stopped in the hand to act one after another. 四位离合境修士,都是面色一变,相继止了手上动作。 On summit that Heavenly Profound High Perfected, is a sigh. 山巅上那位天玄上真,也是一声叹息。 Four people of facial features are disturbed, goes forward to ask for mercy. 四人面容忐忑,一齐上前告罪。 That Heavenly Profound High Perfected long time, said silently: „Does not close the matter and other.” 那天玄上真默然良久,道:“不关尔等之事。” In four Separation and Reunion cultivator most near the top, looks that the complexion turns purple slightly, although the beard and hair is also white, but the meteorology must compare with other three people of young. Sees only him to go forward one step, said: „Without the Yuan Yuan frost, the Wuling reassuring medicine is the refinement is not eventually easy. Refines ten furnaces, becomes its 23 at most, and quality must be greatly affected. disciple thinks that does not need to try again, otherwise in vain consumption physical resource.” 四位离合修士中最靠前的一位,看着面色微微发紫,虽然须发亦白,但气象明显要较其余三人年轻。只见他上前一步,道:“若是没有元元霜,五菱定心丸终究是炼制不易。炼制十炉,至多成其二三,且品质也要大受影响。弟子以为不必再试,否则徒然耗费物力。” That Heavenly Profound High Perfected vision moves slightly, said: „That suspends.” 那天玄上真目光微动,道:“那就暂停罢。” rises, the form slowly is at once pale from this heaven and earth. 旋即长身而起,身影自这方天地中缓缓淡去。 Four Separation and Reunion cultivator, look at each other in blank dismay. 四位离合修士,面面相觑。 This Heavenly Profound High Perfected arrives between two mountains, suddenly stretches out a finger buckle. 这天玄上真来到两山之间,忽然伸出手指一扣。 In the seemingly completely empty boundary, appears suddenly the golden traces of two wave shapes, spreads across a cross. 看似空空如也的地界上,忽地浮现出两道波浪形的金色纹路,纵横交错成一个十字。 This cross is in a short time getting more and more thick, a Zhang Kaicheng circular gateway. 这十字在极短的时间内愈来愈粗,张开成一个圆形门户。 Originally, this seemingly common boundary, hid a mystical place channel unexpectedly. 原来,这看似不起眼的地界,竟藏了一处秘境通道。 One step steps into, middle the scene looks not in a big way, actually also refined, is three Junfeng stands in opposition, surrounds one to float in the in the air lake. At this time above the lake, is fluctuating three zhang (3.33 m) a small boat that has strange, the boat boat tail place, the respective person wears the bamboo hat, fishes leisurely and carefree. 一步踏入其中,当中景象看着不大,却也雅致,是三座俊峰鼎足而立,环绕着一座浮于空中的湖泊。此时湖泊之上,浮动着一条三丈有奇的小舟,舟头舟尾处,各自有一人戴着斗笠,悠闲垂钓。 That lifts the head of boat head, the view comes the person look fiercely, said with a smile: „To come is the failure. I have urged junior brother you not to need to worry, and waits for Sweet Apple Sect and Pure Subtlety Sect there news. The next transaction small meeting, decides time however has the sufficient Yuan Yuan frost.” 舟头的那一位猛地一抬首,观来人神色,笑道:“想来是失败了。我早就劝洛师弟你不必着急,且等候甘堂宗、清微宗那里的消息。下一次的交易小会,定然是有充足的元元霜的。” Spoke this person of height fine beard, focused attention on. 说话这人一身长髯,甚是瞩目。 The cultivator pogonotrophy number are many, but has not had densely so. After this person of ear, under the nose, entire links up into a single stretch, the beard and hair luster is the rare pale-yellow, making one see unforgettable. 修道人蓄须者数量不少,但是未有繁密如此者。此人耳后鼻下,整个连成一片,须发色泽又是罕见的浅黄色,令人见之难忘。 Middle-aged person coldly snorted, said: „The Wuling reassuring medicine was not big to your hole Yuanping effectiveness, you naturally can speak the sarcastic remark. Previous trades slightly will also say that this thing is really rich, but was actually intercepted by Qingliang Mountain, refined anything ‚safe Yang Dadan’.” 中年人冷哼一声,道:“五菱定心丸对你孔元平效用不大,你自然可以说风凉话。上一回交易小会也说此物甚是丰厚,但却都被清凉山截走,炼制什么‘泰阳大丹’去了。” Long fine beard cultivator shakes the head, sincere say/way: „safe Yang Dadan effectiveness, high of rank, actually above my gate Wuling reassuring medicine.” 长髯修士摇了摇头,正色道:“泰阳大丹效用之著,品阶之高,却在我门五菱定心丸之上。” Has sat in that person that the stern has not spoken, suddenly said: „What now in the pledge takes turns on duty is High Perfected Gu Yi. I and he also calculate some friendship. And I go to call one with him, these leaves behind the sufficient to you ten million/countless the Yuan Yuan frost.” 一直坐在船尾并未说话的那人,忽然道:“现在盟中轮值的是孤邑上真。我与他也算有些交情。我且去与他招呼一声,这一回千万给你留下足量的元元霜。” Middle-aged High Perfected that the this place three people, the pill refining failure midway enters, named Yuan really ; High Perfected that long fine beard focuses attention on, famous hole Yuanping ; But finally spoke and stands in the square features High Perfected of boat tail, named generation of Yuan brave. Three people of respective gateway three Daoism, are one in primitive 77 Hidden Sect. 此间三人,炼丹失败中途进入的中年上真,名为洛元真;那长髯瞩目的上真,名孔元平;而最后出言、立在舟尾的这位方脸上真,名为代元英。三人所属门户三玄门,正是原始七十七家隐宗中的一家。 At the beginning of three Daoism gateways acquire fame, is because in the gate has three Heavenly Profound High Perfected, therefore. At present in the gate High Perfected, exactly is also three people. 三玄门门户得名之初,便是因为门中有三位天玄上真之故。眼下门中上真,恰好也是三人。 But this does not mean three Daoism generations of so, in fact, three Daoism in the momentum of this life, already 70,000-80,000 years ago declined slightly. From five to 80,000 years ago, in this on the True Person number achieves seven people most , once was earth vein one is the pivotal influence. 但这并不意味着三玄门代代如此,事实上,三玄门在今世的声势,已然较之70,000-80,000年前稍稍衰落了。五至八万年前,这一门中上真人数最多达到七人,亦曾是本地脉一系中举足轻重的势力。 Middle-aged cultivator Yuan really silent, said suddenly: „Even if High Perfected Gu Yi looked in the Sect Leader senior brother face really permits. But this trades slightly becomes until the final outcome merit, at least also takes over one year. in Luomou cultivation, has inconvenient finally.” 中年修士洛元真沉默一阵,忽道:“纵然孤邑上真看掌门师兄的面子上果然许了。但这交易小会直到最终结果功成,至少还需要一年以上的时间。于洛某的修行而言,终是多有不便。” Long fine beard cultivator hole Yuanping still in full of enthusiasm fishing, did not seem to listen to Yuan real implied meaning at this time. 长髯修士孔元平此时兀自在兴致勃勃的垂钓,似乎并未听出洛元真的言下之意。 But Sect Leader generation of Yuan brave are actually the complexion one positive, said in a low voice: „In junior brother heart, as if had the regulation.” 而掌门代元英却是面色一正,低声道:“洛师弟心中,似乎有了章程。” Yuan real vision fluctuates erratically, suddenly is spooky smiles, said: „Saint Cult sphere of influence are how general, when although now does not compare the heyday, but the style still saved eventually. Each time between my Hidden Sect and Saint Cult product that ‚small trade fair’, the opposite party collects, is the origin varies, numerous gathering. senior brother may know, ‚the Yuan Yuan frost’ does this thing, where stem from Saint Cult under the jurisdiction?” 洛元真目光变幻不定,忽然幽幽一笑,道:“圣教势力范围何其广大,如今虽不比极盛之时,但终究体例仍存。每次我隐宗和圣教之间的‘小交易会’,对方所搜集的物产,也是来源不一,纷呈汇聚。师兄可知,‘元元霜’此物,出自圣教治下何地？” Contains the surprise say/way for Yuan brave Wei: „Where?” 代元英微含诧异的道:“何地？” Yuan true color: „Stems from spirit bead Dao Sect Saint Cult eight big Dao Sect.” 洛元真正色道:“出自圣教八大道宗之一的灵珠道宗。” Said for the Yuan brave calmly: „What's the big deal?” 代元英平静言道:“那又如何？” Yuan real voice suddenly becomes somewhat secretive, said spookily: „If formerly, my three Daoism and spirit bead Dao Sect were naturally never in contact with each other, abatement your my so cultivation base, which piece of domain even in the gate low generation of disciple and did not know it, but hears its name.” 洛元真的声音忽然变得有些诡秘,幽幽道:“若是从前,我三玄门与灵珠道宗自然是老死不相往来,除却你我这般修为者,甚至门中低辈弟子都并并不知道其在哪一片界域,但闻其名而已。” „But Hidden Sect earth vein transmission array establishes now, actually the both sides transportation are really the small advantages. Goes from the sect earth vein transmission array bygone days Chen sect, diverts Heavenly Horse clan transmission array again, spends the half day.” “但是如今隐宗地脉传送阵立下,其实双方交通甚是便宜。自本门地脉传送阵往天辰宗去,再转用天马一族传送法阵,前后所费不过半日。” At this point, long fine beard cultivator hole Yuanping also tasted, said startled: „junior brother, you must bypass Hidden Sect, with the Saint Cult Ancestral Court spirit bead Dao Sect sole connection? Is this not quite perhaps good?” 说到这里,长髯修士孔元平也回过味来了,愕然道:“洛师弟,你要绕过隐宗,和圣教祖庭灵珠道宗单独联系？这恐怕不太好吧？” After several tests of strength, the Saint Cult influence gradually contracts, but Hidden Sect gradually expands, reaches a subtle balance. 几番角力之后,圣教势力逐渐收缩,而隐宗逐渐扩张,达成一种微妙的平衡。 In addition both sides goal as if by prior agreement shifts to dao art to be solid forever, rather than reality the population, region and other benefits, actually between both sides, although was still the opposition relations, but this front as if became long, rather than limited to success and failure of the city place. 再加上双方目标不约而同的转向道术永固,而非现实的人口、地域等利益,其实双方之间虽仍旧是对立关系,但这战线似乎变得漫长了,而非局限于一城一地之得失。 Even in some practical interests, both sides can also make some exchanges of helping supply each other. 甚至于在一些现实利益上,双方还可以作一些互通有无的交换。 „Small trade fair” from this comes. “小交易会”正是由此而来。 However alone and Saint Cult contact, as before is one is really sensitive matter-, even if only Dao Sect in Saint Cult. 但是单独和圣教联络,依旧是一件甚为敏感的事-哪怕只是圣教中的一家道宗。 Said for the Yuan brave slowly: „In you use at Yuan Yuan frost matter, in the pledge really has inconsiderate. But overall, the Hidden Sect Huitong in one, that sect benefits, was overwhelming majorities. disciple that now in the gate is likely to progress reason that three people, its potential enters, relies on Yao Chun and Lu Jian High Perfected dismantles the suspense in Heaven and Human Three Boundaries, is the income. Only need became one, the sect strength goes a step further greatly.” 代元英缓缓道:“在你取用元元霜这件事上,盟中确有考虑不周。但就总体而言,隐宗汇通于一,本门得到的好处,还是占了绝大多数。如今门中有望上进的弟子又有三人,其之所以潜力又进,也是仰赖于姚纯、路艰诸位上真拆解天人三境中的悬疑,由是收益。只消成了一个,本门实力又大进一步。” Yuan really hey however said: „Advantage, although are many, has not actually fallen in my hand.” 洛元真嘿然道:“好处虽多,却并未落于我手。” Actually these words are somewhat undisguised and grating. However his fellow apprentices three people of friendship are really sincere, does not have the bystander, does not have to abstain. 其实这句话有些露骨与刺耳。但是他师兄弟三人交情甚笃,既无外人,也无所忌讳。 Kong Yuanping said: „Although the way is unobstructed, but you asked rashly, fearing not necessarily is also appropriate. Why spirit bead is Dao Sect willing to open this case for you?” 孔元平道:“虽路径通畅,但你贸然去问,恐也未必妥当。灵珠道宗为何就肯为你开了此例？” Yuan really shakes the head, said: „Hole senior brother has not to know. Before March/three months, I travel accidentally outside, meets one person. Spirit bead Dao Sect wields to propose a toast High Perfected. I and he actually feel like old friends at the first meeting. On the magical skill day, just now diverged.” 洛元真摇了摇头,道:“孔师兄有所不知。三月之前,我偶然出游在外,遇见一人。正是灵珠道宗执掌能觞上真。我与他却是一见如故。论道数日,方才散去。” Was stunned for the Yuan brave and hole Yuanping hearing this. 代元英、孔元平闻言愕然。 Sees two people of look unhesitatings, Yuan really adds immediately: „Two senior brother do not misunderstand. This can propose a toast High Perfected, the natural disposition lives simply open-minded, walks in Saint Cult Ancestral Court and is intimate with. In his under the jurisdiction, spirit bead Dao Sect and state within a state not different, but completes the Saint Cult Ancestral Court stipulation to consecrate that 's the end of it.” 见二人神色不豫,洛元真立刻补充道:“二位师兄不要误会。这位能觞上真,生性淡泊豁达,于圣教祖庭走得并亲近。在他治下,灵珠道宗与国中之国无异,只是完成圣教祖庭规定供奉便罢。” „Head-family, if associates with it, is three Daoism and spirit bead Dao Sect associates alone, is of no concern to with Saint Cult. Two do not need to be worried that Saint Cult infiltrates, or is in suspicious circumstances and so on.” “本宗若是与之交往,是三玄门和灵珠道宗单独交往,和圣教无涉。二位不必担心圣教借此渗透,又或者瓜田李下云云。” For Yuan brave hearing this, quite hesitates. 代元英闻言,颇有迟疑。 If 200-300 years ago, such situation wants not to need to think, he does not permit decisively. 若在200-300年之前,此等情形想也不用想,他是断然不允的。 However now in a Saint Cult ten tenths energy has 90%, all in „Divine Dao method” above was established. So-called spirit bead Dao Sect just like the state within a state, does not need to suspect, Yuan really decides however says not empty. 但是如今圣教十成精力中有90%,皆在“神道法门”的成立之上。所谓灵珠道宗宛若国中之国,不用怀疑,洛元真定然所言非虚。 Basic reason that but forms this aspect, is not can propose a toast the High Perfected natural disposition to live simply open-minded, but was Saint Cult loosened the controls to eight big Dao Sect. 但形成这个局面的根本原因,不是什么能觞上真生性淡泊豁达,而是圣教放松了对八大道宗的管制。 In addition, the Wuling reassuring medicine regarding Yuan real cultivation, is indeed important. 再加上,五菱定心丸对于洛元真的修持,的确至关重要。 Yuan really in aquatic paces slowly, waits for the attitude of generation of Yuan brave. 洛元真在水上缓缓踱步,等候代元英的态度。 In this time, is having gold/metal arrow together suddenly, punctures void, arrives in this little realm directly. 正在此时,忽有一道金箭,刺破虚空,径直来到这小界之内。 Received for the Yuan brave looks, the complexion reveals the surprise. 代元英接过一望,面色微显诧异。 Kong Yuanping said: „Did senior brother, what matter have?” 孔元平道:“师兄,发生了何事？” For Yuan brave say/way: „Is Half Beginning Sect Sect Leader succeeds the grand ceremony, inviting me and others to go to attend the ceremony.” 代元英道:“是半始宗掌门继任大典,邀请我等前去观礼。” Hole Yuanping slightly one surprised, said: „Half Beginning Sect?” 孔元平微微一愕,道:“半始宗？” At once responds, said: „Gui Wujiu disciple, Huang Xiyin?” 旋即反应过来,道:“归无咎的弟子,黄希音？” For Yuan brave say/way: „. Actually this matter has the regulation early, after Huang Xiyin achievement Near Dao Boundary, then takes over Half Beginning Sect Sect Leader. However now Half Beginning Sect disciple resembles unable to wait, one after another promotes, must urge that she succeeds to the throne ahead of time. Very afraid this key man midway to be lost actually.” 代元英道:“正是。其实此事早有章程,待黄希音成就近道境后,再接任半始宗掌门。但是如今半始宗门下弟子倒似等不及了,一波又一波的推动下去,非催促她提前继位不可。倒是深怕这关键人物中途走失了。” Hole Yuanping twists his beard said: „This Huang Xiyin holds dao technique, is Origin Infant Boundary one becomes the near dao/shortcut path. If that is right, her present cultivation base from our generation one separation, completes to take over the grand ceremony, is not towering.” 孔元平捻须道:“这位黄希音所持道法,想必也是元婴境一步而成近道的路子。若是如此,她如今修为距离我辈不过一线之隔,完成接任大典,也不算突兀。” Yuan really some do not bear, said: „senior brother. Just now said the matter, you give a truth actually.” 洛元真有些不耐,道:“师兄。方才所说之事,你倒是给个准话。” For the Yuan brave sincere say/way: „My three Daoism, is not suitable has a connection with Saint Cult.” 代元英正色道:“我三玄门,是不宜与圣教有所瓜葛的。” Yuan really first knits the brows, at once vision one bright, said: „junior brother I understood.” 洛元真先是一皱眉,旋即目光一亮,道:“师弟我明白了。”
