Called what Bright Moon, Great Whale Painting. However because the author does not have the fame, then under confiscation ....” “鲸鱼....那种体型极大的海鱼？”肖惊云思索了下,“这一批,我挑货时,倒是有见过一副,画卷上有云雾,明月,还有一条体型极大的海鱼。叫什么明月长鲸图。不过因为作者没名气,便没收下....” „Bright Moon, Great Whale Painting?” The Wei He heart jumps fiercely. This is not just Jiu Ying to the Whale Breath Form clue that he found!? “明月长鲸图？”魏合心头猛地一跳。这不正是九影给他找到的鲸息态的线索！？ Although in his heart pleasantly surprised, but the surface is actually entirely still as before, as if to it slightly a little interest. 他心中虽惊喜,但表面却依旧纹丝不动,似乎只是对其稍稍有点兴趣。 „Sounds actually good, can my a little interest, help me receive the picture scroll?” “听起来倒是不错,我有点兴趣,能否帮我收来画卷？” „This... said that picture is only the two half big youngster sells, has not sold the price, now does not know where. I received the picture at that time, remote place outside city ..... this present a short time...” Xiao Jingyun somewhat hesitates immediately. “这...说起来,那画只是两个半大少年来卖,没卖出价钱,现在也不知去了何处。我当时收画,是在城外偏远之处.....这现在一时半会...”肖惊云顿时有些踟蹰。 „This does not have the issue, so long as can receive the picture, my, the price is open to discuss.” Wei He said with a smile. “这个没问题,只要能收到画,我还是那句,价钱好商量。”魏合笑道。 „This ..... I do everything possible.” Xiao Jingyun nods. “这.....我尽力而为。”肖惊云点头。 „, In these pictures, this, this, I wanted.” Wei He carefully looked at the scroll paintings, selected two him to like. “也罢,这些画里,这幅,这幅,我都要了。”魏合仔细看了看画轴,点了两幅他喜欢的。 „If the material object differs not in a big way, passes the time period to pay a bill.” He is saying with a smile. “若是实物相差不大,过阵子便可付账。”他笑着道。 „Old Master Chen atmosphere!” Xiao Jingyun is pleasantly surprised immediately. “陈老爷大气！”肖惊云顿时惊喜。 To trading company, the Wei He mood was joyful, finally had the Whale Breath Form clue, he sought painstakingly for many years, now discovers the clue with great difficulty, the natural mood was excellent. 离了商行,魏合心情愉悦,终于有鲸息态的线索了,他苦寻多年,如今好不容易才发现线索,自然心情大好。 Goes home, he waited safely on several th, waits for that side trading company to send the news. 回到家,他安心等候了几日,等着商行那边送来消息。 What has not thought that the news came, but sends, is actually disappointed. 只是没想到的是,消息是来了,但送来的,却是失望。 „Sorry, really was extremely sorry!” Xiao Jingyun stands in the Wei Family living room, deep bows toward Wei He. “抱歉,实在是太过抱歉了！”肖惊云站在魏家客厅,深深的朝着魏合鞠了一躬。 „I later look for that two youngster, could not find the person.” “我之后再去找那两个少年,却怎么也找不到人了。” „Where did you receive the picture before?” Wei He complexion is calm, the sinking sound asked. “你之前是在哪里收画的？”魏合面色冷静,沉声问。 „This ....

Can no longer have a look at other pictures?” Xiao Jingyun is trying the say/way. “陈老爷....要不再看看其他的画？”肖惊云试着道。 Wei He shakes the head, out the simple smalltalk several, then expelled. 魏合摇头,简单客套了几句,便将人赶出门外。 Bright Moon, Great Whale Painting well, soon succeeded in obtaining shortly, finally had/left this cripple matter. 好好的明月长鲸图,眼看快要到手了,结果出了这拐子事。 After Xiao Jingyun leaves . 等到肖惊云离开后。 Wei He stands up, claps gently. 魏合站起身,轻轻拍拍手。 . 唰。 person's shadow appears in him towering behind the shadow place. 一道人影突兀出现在他身后阴影处。 „Sect Master.” “门主。” „Found out the place? White Pine Trading Company where ancient painting of receiving?” Wei He naturally cannot place in a basket the egg completely, not wanting to pin on a person. “查出地方了么？白松商行是在哪收的古画？”魏合自然不会将鸡蛋全部放在一个篮子里,不会将希望寄托在一个人身上。 Although before the Myriad Poisons Sect influence is inferior, but also has own trading company and information network. 万毒门势力虽不如以前,但也有自己的商行和情报网络。 He naturally comes back, then the issue orders, investigates this matter, traces Bright Moon, Great Whale Painting. 他自然是一回来,便发布命令下去,调查此事,追查明月长鲸图。 „Returns to Sect Master, according to Xiao Jingyun storekeeper hand/subordinate for the word, is approaching the Yi Pefecture border chaos caused by war area. There has many old towns, is the pick-up points that White Pine Trading Company often goes.” “回门主,根据肖惊云手下的掌柜供言,是在靠近宜州的边境战乱区。那里有不少古镇,都是白松商行常去的收集点。” „Which point does Bright Moon, Great Whale Painting at see?” Wei He asked. “明月长鲸图是在哪个点看到的？”魏合问。 „Ash Cedar Town, Xu Family’s Pawnbroker, Wang Family’s Painting and Calligraphy Company two, which are concrete one side, is not clear.” The person's shadow returns said. “灰柏镇,徐家典当行,王家书画行两处,具体哪一边,不清楚。”人影回道。 „Also yes, only then the chaos caused by war area, can the bottom price receive the thing, then the high price sells. Good that Xiao Jingyun takes advantage actually.” Wei He understands clearly. “也是,只有战乱区,才能最低价格收到东西,然后高价卖出。肖惊云倒是打的好算盘。”魏合了然。 „Transmitted orders, making the Arc Light Courtyard Myriad Azure Courtyard person send out, the quickest speed attains Bright Moon, Great Whale Painting. The specimen map goes to Xiao Jingyun there to look.” “传令下去,让弧光院万青院的人出动,最快速度拿到明月长鲸图。样图去肖惊云那里找来。” „Yes!” The person's shadow diverges slowly leaves. “是！”人影缓缓散去离开。 Wei He walked back and forth unsettled several steps, the heart actually. 魏合来回走了几步,心头却还是不安定。 This Whale Flood Art was too big to his help, can say, he can simultaneous cultivation so many cultivation technique, depend entirely on the qi and blood total quantity that Whale Flood Art increases. 这鲸洪决对他的帮助太大了,可以说,他能兼修这么多功法,全靠鲸洪决增加的气血总量。 But because of the Whale Breath Form issue, Whale Flood Art by stuck at second level, is unable the little advance. 而因为鲸息态的问题,鲸洪决一直被卡在第二层,无法寸进。 Now sees the hope with great difficulty, in his naturally heart were many ardent expectation. 如今好不容易看到希望,他自然心中多了热切期盼。 ‚If can break through three, qi and blood increases again, by that time the strength increase, can inevitably simultaneous cultivation many cultivation technique, strength higher level!’ ‘若是能突破三层,气血再增,到那时力量提升,必然能兼修更多功法,实力更上层楼！’ Wei He had not been stabilized the life to lull happily, every time and tries to seek to become a stronger method in cultivation. 魏合没有被美好安定生活所麻痹,每时每刻都在修行和试图寻找变得更强的方法。 Breaks through Refining Sense, the need time is too long, now his Tempering Organ 12 passes/tests, have passed ten passes/tests, but also remains the final two passes/tests, after the breakthrough, then must start to face first Setting Perception. 突破铭感,需要时间太久,如今他的练脏十二关,已经过了十关,还剩最后两关,突破后,便得开始面临第一次定感。 This is the process that opens, opens left hand transcendent perception thoroughly, then after the adaptation, then seals. 这就是开的过程,彻底打开左手超感,然后适应后,再封。 Opens one, is the complete Setting Perception process. 一开一封,便是完整定感过程。 Radical opening, can let the Strength Force radical activation, steps into another realm, achievement Returning True Strength. 彻底的开,才能让劲力彻底活化,踏入另一境界,成就还真劲。 But seals, then establishes together the safety block for oneself. Otherwise martial artist body, because of the long-term unceasing impact of True Reality, but has the mutation gradually. 而封,便是为自己设定一道安全封锁。否则武者身体,会因真实的长期不断冲击,而渐渐产生异变。 Stimulation that True Reality brings, is too excessive regarding the body, if not seal, quick then thorough mutation. 真实带来的刺激,对于身体来说太过头,若不封,很快便会彻底异化。 If long time does not have opening to contact True Reality, the martial artist strength will degenerate slowly, loses realm. 而若长时间没有开启接触真实,武者又会慢慢实力退化,失去境界。 Therefore once in a while, must again Setting Perception. 所以每隔一段时间,必须重新定感。 But with body adaptation True Reality even more, the Setting Perception number of times are more, the body needs to stimulate the potential, the needed stimulation must be stronger, therefore contact True Reality are also more, is deeper. 但随着身体越发的适应真实,定感次数越多,身体需要激发潜力,需要的刺激也必须越强,所以接触的真实也越多,越深。 This also became, the Setting Perception number of times are more, strength stronger performance. 这也就成了,定感次数越多,实力越强的表现。 How Wei He walks regarding the road of Refining Sense, is very clear. 魏合对于铭感之路如何走,已经很清楚了。 On this road, various sect cultivation technique True Art, to this step, are plays consolidates itself, with guiding oneself strengthens the function of direction. 这一条路上,各门派的功法真功,到了这一步,便是起到稳固自身,和引导自身强化方向的作用。 „Whale Flood Art makes no mistake. I go personally!” Wei He ponders over, the decision acts personally. “鲸洪决不容有失。我还是亲自去一趟！”魏合思前想后,还是决定亲自出手。 That and other chaos caused by war areas, what situation may happen, a view chart comprehends Whale Breath Form early, is then earlier the risk reduction. 那等战乱区,什么情况都有可能发生,早一步观图领悟鲸息态,便早一些减少风险。 Immediately, he changes the body clothes, takes the necessary supplies, said one with Wan Qingqing, then leaves the dwelling, goes to nearby Yi Pefecture quietly. 当即,他换身衣服,带上必要补给,和万青青说一声,便离开宅院,悄然前往宜州附近。 If the average man speed, the carriage speed, the midway the suspension of movement rest, tosses about at night back and forth, naturally at least takes two months. 若是常人速度,马车速度,中途夜晚停步休息,来回折腾,自然至少需要两月才到。 But his movement full , the time is shortened to several hours sufficiently. 但他身法全开下,时间足以缩短到几小时。 * * * * * * Yi Pefecture border. 宜州边境。 The be continuous several hundred li (0.5 km) Chaos region, is bleak loesses. 绵延数百里的混乱区域,全是一片荒凉黄土。 And in soil banks, a curving traveled lane, following the broad plain, has extended to the distant place field of vision end. 其中一片土坡之间,一条弯弯曲曲的驰道,顺着广阔平原,一直延伸到远处视野尽头。 On traveled lane, several looking for food aardwolves, some whole body fur/superficial knowledge places were bare, were lowering the head to gnaw to eat the roadside is falling down do the black corpse. 驰道上,几只觅食的土狼,浑身皮毛有些地方都光秃了,正低着头啃食着路边倒在地上的干黑尸体。 Wei He grasps the map, stopped in midway, looked at all around. 魏合手持地图,中途停下,看了看四周。 In order to pick up speed, reduces the burden, which he roughly clarifies Ash Cedar Town, then immediately. 为加快速度,减少累赘,他大致弄清灰柏镇在哪,便当即出发。 Leaves Weifang City, Wei He this is the first time that hurried along in plain place. 离开卫芳城,魏合这是第一次在平原这种地方赶路。 Just coming out city, some surroundings many farmland paddies, later the paddies were getting fewer and fewer, the fallow land were gradually getting more and more, house that the roadside abandoned, village, were getting more and more. 刚刚出来城池,周围还有不少农田田地,之后田地越来越少,渐渐荒田越来越多,路边废弃的房屋,村子,也越来越多。 High noon, the sky cloud layer hears the intermittent rumble. 正午时分,天空云层传来阵阵隆隆声。 Wei He takes down the water pocket of waist, raised head to drink one. 魏合取下腰间的水囊,仰头喝了一口。 Then read the map. 然后看了看地图。 „Should have a halfway. Here, according to the map should be the Zhang Family town/subdues.” “应该还有一半路。这里,按地图应该是张家镇。” About him looked, all around desolateness, only then the right side has a region indistinctly, seems like after the fire overburning, residual construction wreckage. 他左右看了看,四周一片荒芜,只有右侧隐约有一片地域,看起来似乎是大火烧毁过后,残留的建筑残骸。 „Here already no one?” Wei He looks all around, a person's shadow cannot see seriously. “这里就已经没人了么？”魏合环顾四周,当真一个人影也看不见。 Nowadays, except has the person of special goal, no one will also hurry to toward the chaos caused by war area specially. 这年头,除开一些有特殊目的之人,没人还会专门朝着战乱区赶去。 But after the chaos caused by war erupts, this/should fleeing from calamity also escaped similarly. Cannot escape, either stays in the original position, either turned into the roadside white bones dry corpse in abundance. 而战乱爆发后,该逃难的也逃得差不多了。逃不掉的,要么留在原处,要么纷纷变成了路边白骨干尸。 Drinks up the water, Wei He continues to proceed, along direction path of map instruction, full speed hurricane. 喝完水,魏合继续往前,沿着地图指示的方向道路,全速狂飙。 It is estimated that so long as passes a double-hour to arrive in the destination again. 估计只要再过一个时辰就能抵达目的地。 Really, compared with goes to collect, oneself begin personally, comes quickly. 果然,比起手下前往收集,还是自己亲自动手,来得更快。 * * * * * * In Ash Cedar Town. 灰柏镇内。 „Wū wū! ~ ~ ~” “呜呜呜！~~~” Barbaric straightforward toots, reverberate in the town unceasingly, up and down, resounds back and forth. 一声声野蛮粗豪的号角声,不断在镇子里回荡,此起彼伏,来来回回响起。 In the town, teams of waists are sturdy, on the neck is hanging the robust men of skeleton head, is grasping weapon, in spacious deathly stillness town chaotic howling. 镇子上,一队队腰身粗壮,脖子上挂着一个个骷髅头的壮汉,正手持兵器,在空旷死寂的镇子里乱嚎。 Ash Cedar Town is the people rallying point that border area a few not many several also keep not to have. 灰柏镇是边境区少数不多的几个还留着没动的民众聚集点。 Teams of gangsters came and went, blow blew, except robbing property food, has not destroyed the construction of town actually. 一队队匪徒们来来往往,刮了又刮,除开抢夺财物食物,倒是没怎么破坏镇子的建筑。 The robbers also know, destroyed the town thoroughly, they are defending the completely bleak deathtrap, except for starving to death, has no other alternative. 劫匪也是知道,彻底毁了镇子,他们守着完全荒凉的死地,除了饿死,别无他法。 Therefore the sustainable development, then became Ash Cedar Town and several other towns, only vitality. 所以可持续发展,便成了灰柏镇和另外几个镇子,唯一的生机。 „Hands over food!
