Therefore, the Tong Village on great Yu Shan, constructs in the mountain massif cavity. If the open-air construction, several rain get down, will be destroyed by the raindrop. 这里一旦下雨,颗颗雨滴都大如酒坛,冲击力巨大。因此,巨雨山上的童家寨,是建于山体空洞之中。若是露天建造,几场雨下来,就会被雨滴砸毁掉了。 In Tong Zhaizili, Fang Yuan in the yellow gold oil lamp that on the yellow gold mountain purchases, is greatly popular. 在童家寨子里,方源在黄金山上收购的黄金油灯,大受欢迎。 During being stationed, has had three rain.

But the change of each time, can earn the rich profit. 就这样一路行商,在方源的操作下,张家的商货时增时减。但每一次的变化,都能赚取丰厚利润。 The number of times more than one, have naturally aroused the interests of other people. 次数一多,自然就引起了其他人的关注。 Fang Yuan advances on all Shang Xinci's, the Shang Xinci's doing business talent has been spread gradually. 方源将一切都推到商心慈的身上,商心慈的经商才华渐渐得到传扬。 The time passes, after four village, the caravan gradual approach howls Yueshan. 时光流逝,又经过了四家山寨后,商队渐渐接近啸月山。 That night, the caravan was backing on a cliff, was stationed, formed the temporary military camp. 这天晚上,商队背靠着一处峭壁,驻扎下来,结成临时营寨。 „We entered howl the section of Yueshan, a following distance, is the barren mountains and wild hills, insect beast completely spread, does not have including the village.

Today can invite the black earth and white clouds goes to eat?” 张柱就迎了上去:“小姐,晚饭已经准备好了。今天还是要邀请黑土和白云来就餐吗？” „Naturally.” Shang Xinci nods saying that „I must ask for advice the attainment of peddler in the banquet to him.” “当然了。”商心慈点点头道,“我还要在宴席中向他讨教行商的心得呢。” For serveral days, Fang Yuan gained is lucky few, will merchandise repeatedly, has made the 5~6 times profit. Made Shang Xinci, Zhang Zhu and Xiao Die these three insiders, had increased respect for somebody. 这些天来,方源赚多亏少,将商货颠来倒去,赚了五六倍的利润。令商心慈、张柱、小蝶这三个知情人,都刮目相待。 Fang Yuan defers to the agreement, will attain to branch out half, gives Shang Xinci. But in the Shang Xinci's heart, how trivial primeval stones to compare favorably with experience and opinion of Fang Yuan to the doing business. 方源依照约定,将所获分出一半,交给商心慈。但在商心慈的心中,区区元石怎比得上方源对经商的经验和见解。 She does not have cultivation natural talent, is only a mortal, doing business is she proudest ability. 她没有修行资质,只是个凡人,经商是她最骄傲的能力。 However, in the domain of this being proud, the strength that Fang Yuan shows makes Shang Xinci have to acknowledge, she is inferior to Fang Yuan a great deal! 然而,就在这个引以为傲的领域,方源展现出的实力让商心慈也不得不承认,她不如方源良多！ It seems like the absurd decision, in the later transaction, appears the astonishing result. 许多看似荒谬的决定,在之后的交易中,都显现出惊人的成效。 Shang Xinci is not a person of being deliberately bad, after understanding oneself and Fang Yuan's disparity, every day will invite Fang Yuan. 商心慈并非是一个自暴自弃的人,在明白自己和方源的差距之后,每天都会宴请方源。 Fang Yuan directs several, then can make her benefit greatly. 方源指点几句,便能让她受益匪浅。 She in doing business, inborn talent is remarkable, such as sponge absorbing water, rapid growth. 她在经商方面,天赋卓越,如海绵吸水,迅速成长。 Exchanges with Fang Yuan's are more, she then more admires him. 和方源的交流越多,她便越佩服他。 „Oh, Young lady, you are careful. These two people have story obviously, is not the common person.” Zhang Zhu sighed, in the eye reveals the look that worries about, he is afraid Shang Xinci to be deeper and deeper. “唉,小姐,你要小心。这两个人明显有故事,不是普通人。”张柱叹了一口气,眼中流露出担忧的神色,他害怕商心慈越陷越深。 „Relax, Uncle Zhang Zhu, I have the discretion.” Shang Xinci's is really fine qualities pure heart, she never refers to other aspects with Fang Yuan, is only restricted in doing business. The speech point to stops, will not make a veiled attack. “放心吧,张柱叔,我有分寸的。”商心慈的确是蕙质兰心,她从不和方源谈及其他方面,只限于经商。说话点到即止,更不会旁敲侧击。 She thinks Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing two people, although is mystical, but is not dangerous. 她觉得方源和白凝冰二人,虽然神秘,但并不危险。 Fang Yuan doing business relies on is the regular methods, never repudiates a debt, every time gains one and Shang Xinci 50-50 split. Such behavior, in imperceptibly, takes to Shang Xinci more security senses. 方源经商凭借的都是正规手段,也从不赖账,每赚一笔都和商心慈五五分成。这样的行为,在无形中,带给商心慈更多的安全感。 However the invitation of tonight, Fang Yuan has not actually accepted. 然而今晚的这次宴请,方源却没有接受。 „I feel today am a little tired.” He beckons with the hand, to coming Xiao Die of special intention invitation said. “我今天感觉有点累,就不去了。”他摆摆手,对前来特意邀请的小蝶道。 It is not Shang Xinci's invites each time, Fang Yuan will nod. Three times invite, often only then Fang Yuan will go. 并非商心慈的每次宴请,方源都会点头。三次宴请中,往往只有一次方源会去。 Xiao Die curls the lip, complained that looked at Fang Yuan one, the mouth mumbled several, must leave. 小蝶撇撇嘴,埋怨地看了方源一眼,嘴里嘟囔了几句,只得离开。 Formerly Fang Yuan rejection, Xiao Die also noisy several times, for young lady not indignation. However more gains along with Fang Yuan, the Xiao Die manner is also transforming, the indignation was never uneven, turns has given in reluctantly. 先前方源拒绝,小蝶还吵闹几次,为小姐不忿。但是随着方源越赚越多,小蝶的态度也在转变,从不忿不平,变成了迁就和无奈。 Regardless of which world, which level, the competent person will cause the respect. 不论哪个世界,哪个层次,有实力的人都会引起尊重。 Fang Yuan closes the tent, Bai Ningbing has sat cross-legged on a therein bed. 方源闭上帐篷,白凝冰已经盘坐在其中的一张床榻上。 Dim, her blue pupil is passing bright slightly. 昏暗中,她的蓝眸透着微微的亮光。 Formerly Fang Yuan rejected Xiao Die, she somewhat was accidental/surprised. However after several times, Bai Ningbing realizes this act the interesting part. 先前方源拒绝小蝶,她还有些意外。但是几次之后,白凝冰意识到此举的妙处。 As the saying goes, the safe does everything to please non- deceitfully is a robber. Fang Yuan refuses to invite, does not give in to Shang Xinci, instead will make the young girl feel that Fang Yuan no other strove to her. 俗话说,无事献殷勤非奸即盗。方源拒绝邀请,不迁就商心慈,反而会让少女觉得方源对她别无所求。 „Starts.” Fang Yuan also sits cross-legged on the bed, back to Bai Ningbing. “开始吧。”方源也盘坐到床榻上,背对着白凝冰。 Bai Ningbing both hands assume the palm, builds carries on the back after Fang Yuan's, 10% snow silver primeval essence along with the intention, the reassignment, pour into to Fang Yuan's within the body. 白凝冰双手呈掌,搭在方源的后背上,一成的雪银真元随着心意,调动而出,灌入到方源的体内。 Flesh and Blood Fusion Gu is flashing the azure red light respectively, after its transformation, six points of snow silver primeval essence enters to Fang Yuan's aperture. 骨肉团圆蛊各闪着青红之光,经过它的转换,六分雪银真元进入到方源的空窍中。 huā huā huā. 哗哗哗。 Fang Yuan sinks to the mind, concentrates on, stimulates to movement these primeval essence, succinct aperture four walls. 方源沉入心神,全神贯注,催动这些真元,洗练空窍四壁。 In the Rank 1(turn) time, his aperture was unable to withstand such big washout effort. However now he arrives at Rank 2 middle stage, aperture wall background is deep, can face directly the unceasing flushing of snow silver primeval essence. 在一转时候,他的空窍还不能承受这样大的冲刷力度。但是如今他到达二转中阶,窍壁底蕴深厚,已经能够直面雪银真元的不断冲洗。 The time of continuing cannot be too long, once in a while, needs rest a while. 只是持续的时间不能太长,每隔一段时间,都需要休息一会儿。 On aperture wall glistening water fluctuates, passes unceasingly. The pure white brilliance constantly is strengthened, some places had the sign that the solidification congeals. Obviously, Fang Yuan is away from Rank 2 upper stage, is in front of the goal a foot. 窍壁上水光波动,不断流转。洁白的光辉不断增强,一些地方已经有固化凝结的迹象。显然,方源距离二转高阶,已经是临门一脚。 Fang Yuan cultivation experiences richly, knowing fairly well . The plan tonight, strikes while the iron is hot, rushes to Rank 2 upper stage! 方源修行经验丰富,心中有数的很。打算就在今晚,趁热打铁,冲上二转高阶！ The time passes quietly, already to night. 时间悄然流逝,不知不觉间,已经到了深夜。 Awoo--! 嗷呜——！ Suddenly, hears together the dark green Wolf King cry. 忽然,传来一道苍狼王的叫声。 The cry breaks the silencing of camp, then, innumerable wolf howl continuously, responded their kings. 叫声打破营地的静寂,然后紧接着,无数声狼啸此起彼伏,响应它们的王。 „Wolf raids, the wolf raids!” “狼袭,狼袭！” „Damn, gets up, has the pack of wolves to attack the camp!!” “该死的,都起来,有狼群袭击营地！！” „Many dark green wolves, are simply innumerable!” “好多的苍狼,简直数不胜数！” ...... Many people call out in alarm angry roar, the camp regains consciousness in a short time, then seethes with excitement. ……许多人惊叫怒吼,营地在短时间内苏醒,然后沸腾起来。 „Hey, listens to this momentum, probably the pack of wolves scale is big.” Bai Ningbing has inclined the head and listened attentively a while, said with a smile. “嘿,听这声势,好像狼群规模蛮大的。”白凝冰侧耳倾听了一会儿,笑道。 In journey of peddler, has bumped into the impacts of several beast group. After having experienced, she is not startled now. 行商的旅途中,也碰到过好几起兽群的冲击。经历过之后,她如今也不吃惊了。 „Here is howls Yueshan, some people said that here is living Southern Border all wolves. In moon/month round, the pack of wolves will look up to the full moon, wolf howl can resound through the entire mountain, continuously, continuously. The first evening, meets the dark green pack of wolves, this Luck Qi some are not quite good.” Fang Yuan opens both eyes slightly, do two things at once, cultivation in aperture has not stopped. “这里是啸月山,有人说这里生活着南疆所有的狼。在月圆时分,狼群都会仰望圆月,狼啸能响彻整座大山,此起彼伏,连绵不断。只是第一晚,就遇到苍狼群,这运气有些不太好。”方源微微睁开双眼,一心二用,空窍中的修行并没有停下。 „Damn, the dark green wolf were too many.” “该死的,苍狼太多了。” „Healer Gu Master, Healer Gu Master where?! My father has been injured, he flowed many blood......” “治疗蛊师,治疗蛊师在哪里？！我父亲受伤了,他流了好多血……” „The southeastern defense line was broken through, supports quickly!” “东南方的防线已经被突破了,快去支援！” The situation compared with the Bai Ningbing expectation, wants serious many. From the discovery pack of wolves, the time of half tea, the defense line of camp was broken through a gap, the pack of wolves penetrates the camp. 局势比白凝冰预想的,要严重的多。从发现狼群,半盏茶的功夫,营地的一处防线就被冲破一个缺口,狼群突入到了营地内部。 „--!” “啊——！” „Takes up the weapon, spelled with this group of domestic animals!” “拿起武器,和这帮畜生们拼了！” The pitiful yell sound of house slave, fight sound, the slogan, transmits unceasingly. 家奴的惨叫声,战斗声,呐喊声,不断传来。 „Can we exit?” Bai Ningbing asked. “我们要出去吗？”白凝冰问道。 „Exits to do? What can you do? Do not forget your present status.” Long time, Fang Yuan absent-minded returned to one. “出去干什么？你能干什么？别忘了你现在的身份。”半晌,方源才心不在焉地回了一句。 „But the pack of wolves flushed, cargo that you just purchased, but must suffer the loss.” Bai Ningbing said with a smile, in the spoken language has filled taking pleasure in others' misfortunes. “可是狼群已经冲过来,你刚刚收购的货物,可要遭受损失了。”白凝冰笑道,言语中充满了幸灾乐祸。 „That loses.” Fang Yuan closes both eyes. “那就损失吧。”方源重新闭上双眼。 Also the moment, outside the tent has broadcast the maidservant Xiao Die sound: „Black earth, black earth! you two in?” 又过了片刻,帐篷外传来丫鬟小蝶的声音:“黑土,黑土！你们两个在吗？” „What matter?” Bai Ningbing said. “什么事？”白凝冰道。 „Heavens, you really in? Such big sound, has not awakened by noise you two! Some many dark green wolves have crashed in camp, although scene already obtained control, but has 1-2 fish slip through by some chance. The young lady makes me ask you to pass. Has the protection of Sir Zhang Zhu, that side will be very safe!” Xiao Die shouts. “天呐,你们真的在？这么大动静,都没吵醒你们两个！有许多苍狼冲进了营地,虽然场面已经得到了控制,但万一有一两只漏网之鱼呢。小姐让我叫你们过去。有张柱大人的保护,那边会很安全的！”小蝶喊道。 „Does not need. Since has controlled the aspect, did not alarm your family young lady. 1-2 dark green wolves, depending on my Strength Qi, but also deals with comes.” Fang Yuan said. “不必了。既然已经控制了局面,就不去惊扰你家小姐了。一两只苍狼,凭我的力气,还应付得来。”方源道。 Xiao Die has to urge several, but was still rejected. Finally she stamps the feet outside the tent bitterly: „Really does not know the will of the people, you died do not have blamed me not to remind both of you. Snort!” 小蝶有催促几句,但仍旧遭到拒绝。最后她在帐篷外恨恨地跺脚:“真是不识好人心,你们死了可别怪我没提醒你们俩。哼！” After dropping out these words, she departs in a hurry. 抛下这句话后,她匆匆离去。 Time that dark green pack of wolves sustained attack has burnt a joss stick, this retreats. 苍狼群持续攻击了一炷香的功夫,这才撤退。 Since beast group impact of this time, has caused the caravan to form, most serious loss. 这一次的兽群冲击,造成了商队组建以来,最惨重的损失。 Three Gu Masters died in battle, more than ten are injured, the house slave casualty are innumerable, the cargo has the loss respectively. Especially the Zhang Family goods, the loss are most. 三位蛊师战死,十几位受伤,家奴死伤无数,货物各有损失。尤其是张家的货,损失最多。 These goods are Fang Yuan lend money, has estimated initially, that night, Fang Yuan lost about thousand primeval stones merely. 这些货都是方源借贷过来的,初步估算了一下,仅仅这一夜,方源就损失了近千块元石。 After dawn, when inventory loss, he smiles bitterly wear a look, in the heart actually a point does not care. 天亮后,清点损失时,他面带苦笑,心中却一点都不在意。 Because of last night, his promoted to Rank 2 upper stage. Was several months nothing more, such cultivation speed was called of Bai Ningbing litigants, secret astonished. 因为就在昨夜,他晋升到了二转高阶。仅仅是过了数月而已,这样的修行速度叫当事人之一的白凝冰,也暗暗惊异。 ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
