„Fatherhad not saidactually, butFeng Qingshuiis the Dao Ancestorrankexistsafter all, yourcultivation base......”Flood Dragon 3saidscruple.
“父亲倒是没有说,只是冯清水毕竟是道祖级别存在,你的修为……”蛟三迟疑道。Han Lihearsword, no longerdeliberatelysuppressedaura, a hugeincomparablepressureinstantaneousrelease, whole bodylight streams golds, castjust like the gold/metal.韩立闻言,不再刻意压制身上气息,一股庞然无比的威压瞬间释放而出,周身光流,宛如金铸。Althoughunderitdeliberatelycontrol, thispressureonlylimitsinitswhole bodyhundred zhang (333 m), butinthissideHeaven and Earth, the circulation of Heaven and Earthvitalityalsoas if in an instant.
虽然在其刻意控制下,这股威压仅局限在其周身百丈以内,但在这一方天地内,天地元气的流转也似乎在其一念之间。Heas ifthencontrols, althoughstands stillmotionless, madeonelook atonecontinually, thenthinks that the mindshookgreatly.
他仿佛便是主宰,虽然静立不动,却令人连望一眼,便觉心神巨震。Belongs toGreat EncompassingLate StagePeakcultivation base, exposesinthis momentwith nothing left.
属于大罗后期巅峰的修为,在这一刻展露无遗。Flood Dragon 3onlythinks that an invisiblepressureheads on, when did not retrocedevoluntarilytwosteps, in the heartshocks, good long whilerecover his wits.蛟三只觉一股无形威压扑面而至,不自觉的后退了两步,心中震撼之余,好半天才回过神来。„I have never thought that theseyears, youcanhave the sobigchangeunexpectedly. No wonder...... the fatherhe......”Flood Dragon 3deeplyinspiresno wonder, saidslowly, butactuallyresemblesfinallysomewhatstarts to speak but hesitates, has not continuedeventually.
“真没想到,才这么些年,你竟能有如此大的改变。难怪……难怪父亲他……”蛟三深吸了口气,缓缓说道,但最后却似有些欲言又止,终究没有继续说下去。„Hefaces directlyHeavenly Court, canattractmostattention, Ilook for the Feng Qingshuiwords, a breach, onlyhopesactuallyheat this moment should not be inHeavenly Courtto be good.”Han Lidepressesaura, said.
“他直面天庭,能够吸引走大部分注意力,我去找冯清水的话,倒是一个突破口,只盼他此刻不要身在天庭就好。”韩立重新压下身上气息,说道。„At presentheindeednotinCentral Earth Immortal Territory, inFog Dragon Sect that butinanotherlarge-scaleImmortal TerritoryDragon Deep Pool Immortal Territory, establishesinhimclosed-door cultivation, alreadysomedays.”Flood Dragon 3said.
“目前他的确不在中土仙域,而是在另外一座大型仙域龙渊仙域,就在他创立的雾龙宗内闭关,已经有些日子了。”蛟三说道。„Sohappen, youreorganize the thing that Iwantforme, Itomorrowthen.”Han Lisaid.
“如此正好,你替我整理好我要的东西,我明日便出发。”韩立说道。„Good. Whenyouplan, Iandyougotogether.”Flood Dragon 3said.
“好。你打算什么时候出发,我和你一起去。”蛟三说道。„Youcannotgo.”Han Lisaidimmediately.
“你不能去。”韩立当即说道。„WhyIcannotgo, mother she......” the Flood Dragon 3wordshas not said,was brokenbyHan Li.
“为何我不能去,娘亲她……”蛟三的话还没说完,就被韩立打断了。„She, sincechosemadeNangong Wan, even can not yourmother, moreovershedoes not certainly hope that youwent.”Han Lilooks atFlood Dragon 3, said.
“她既然选择了做南宫婉,就算不得你娘亲,况且她也一定不希望你去。”韩立看着蛟三,如此说道。„Ihow, no matteryousaw how saying that inmyheart, sheismymother, Imustgo.”Flood Dragon 3said.
“我不管你怎么看,怎么说,在我心中,她就是我娘亲,我必须去。”蛟三说道。„Byyourpresentcultivation base, went unable to help. Ialsowantyouto helpme, sends toDemon WorldZi Ling.”Han Linotslightlytactful, saiddirectly.
“以你如今的修为,去了也帮不上忙。况且,我还要你帮我,将紫灵送去魔界。”韩立没有丝毫委婉,直接说道。Flood Dragon 3hearsthisword, reallylookonegloomy.蛟三听闻此言,果然神色一黯。„, Bymycultivation base, wentalsoonlyto implicateyou. But why Zi Ling does she...... wantto go toDemon World?”Flood Dragon 3looks the color of doubts, askedscruple.
“罢了,以我的修为,去了也只会拖累你。可是紫灵她……为何要去魔界?”蛟三面露疑惑之色,迟疑问道。„What's wrong?”Han Lidetects the difference, is busy atasking.
“怎么了?”韩立察觉异样,忙问道。„Haven't youknown the Demon Worldmatter? Zi Lingshe , if looks forShi Chuankongthey, thatdoes not need.” The Flood Dragon 3browis pressed, saidslowly.
“难道你们还不知道魔界的事情?紫灵她如果是去找石穿空他们的话,那就不必了。”蛟三眉头蹙起,缓缓说道。Zi Linghearsword, the lookslightlychanges, immediatelyhasto plant not the goodpremonition.紫灵闻言,神色微微一变,顿时有种不好的预感。„Has an accident?” The Han Livisionconcentrates, asks.
“到底出了什么事?”韩立目光一凝,问道。„Demon Worlderupted the civil waralreadyincessantly the millenniums, in recent centurieshitespeciallyfrigidly, in the sevenyears ago war of thatend, entireNight Sun Citywas destroyed, Mass Scale Space Realmwas erasedthoroughly, a Shi Kongjielineage/veindisastrous defeat that Shi Chuankongfollowed.”Flood Dragon 3sighed, saidspookily.
“魔界爆发内战已经不止千年了,近百年来打得尤为惨烈,七年前的那一场终结之战中,整个夜阳城被毁,一座积鳞空境更是被彻底抹除,石穿空所跟随的石空解一脉惨败。”蛟三叹息一声,幽幽说道。„HowShi Kongjieand can Shi Chuankong, havetheirnews?”Han Liasked.
“石空解和石穿空如何了,可有他们的消息?”韩立问道。„Demon World the block systemhas diednow, is very difficult the newsthere is a rumor thatto come out, news that Iobtainfinally, said that isShi Kongjiedoes not beatDemon Lord, alreadybody dies and Dao disappears. Shi Chuankonghad not said definitelyactually, butis also missing, did not have the trail.”Flood Dragon 3said.
“魔界现在已经闭锁死了,很难有消息外传出来,我最后得到的消息,说是石空解不敌魔主,已然身死道消。石穿空倒是没说死了,不过也下落不明,没了踪迹。”蛟三说道。Daoist Crabdied in battle, Shi Chuankongis missing......蟹道人战死,石穿空失踪……Han Lionlythought that sea of consciousnesssinks, suddenlydoes not knowshouldsaywhatwas good.韩立只觉得识海一沉,一时间也不知该说什么好了。„Had passed for sevenyearsfromthatwar, stilldidn't have the newsto flow out?”Zi Lingasked.
“距离那场大战已经过去了七年,仍旧没有消息流出吗?”紫灵问道。„IsDemon Lordpersonallyorders, thoroughblock systemDemon World, whenhas not saidreopens, the presentisanynewscannot go, anynewscannot come out.”Flood Dragon 3shakes the head, said.
“是魔主亲自下令,彻底闭锁魔界,并未说何时重开,现在是任何消息都进不去,任何消息也都出不来。”蛟三摇了摇头,说道。„This matterregardless of the time being, whenIcome backfromHeavenly Court, will go toDemon Worldto seek an outcome.”Han Lilongputs out the one breath, the complexiononeaustere, says.
“此事暂且不论,等我从天庭回来,自会去魔界寻个究竟。”韩立长吐出一口气,面色一肃,开口说道。Flood Dragon 3has not saidanythingagain, butnods.蛟三没有再多说什么,只是点了点头。„Such being the case, youfirstkeepNetherworld, whenwecome back.”Han LisaidtoZi Ling.
“既然如此,你就先留在冥界,等我们回来。”韩立对紫灵说道。
The Zi Lingsurfacehas the anxiety, nods.紫灵面有忧虑,还是点了点头。„Right, can Weeping Soul, havehernews?”Han Liasked.
“对了,啼魂呢,可有她的消息?”韩立问道。„She...... shewent toFallen Soul Abyss.”Flood Dragon 3replied.
“她……她去了落魂深渊。”蛟三答道。„WhereFallen Soul Abyss...... is that?”Han Liasked.
“落魂深渊……那是什么地方?”韩立问道。„Isone in thisNetherworldtruecertainly, is a fatherhehas not stepped in the place. Shesaid that therehasherto wanthomingGreat Daotruly, Ihad once advised, cannotblock.”Flood Dragon 3said.
“是这幽冥界中的一处真正的绝地,是一处就连父亲他也未尝涉足过的地方。她说那里有她真正要寻的大道,我曾劝阻过,没能拦下。”蛟三说道。„How longwent to?”Han Liasked.
“去了多久?”韩立问道。„More than hundredyears ago had gone, has not returned.”Flood Dragon 3said.
“百余年前就已经去了,至今未返。”蛟三说道。Han Liboth eyeswhole, foreheadshines a white light, glitteredspookily the moment, opened the eyes.韩立双目一阖,眉心处亮起一道白光,幽幽闪烁了片刻,又重新睁了开来。"How is it ? "Zi Lingasked.“怎么样?”紫灵问道。„The divine thoughtrelationhas also separated......”Han Lito muttersaid.
“神念联系也已经断开了……”韩立喃喃说道。„It is reported that the Fallen Soul Abyssitselfis the institute of ghostloafing, let aloneis separated bysuchfardistance, is in the abyss, do not wanteach othersense/telepathy.”Flood Dragon 3said.
“据传落魂深渊本就是一处幽魂游荡之所,别说相隔如此之远的距离,就是同样身在深渊之中,也别想彼此感应。”蛟三说道。„Thisis the road that Weeping Soulchoose, youmustbelieveher.”Zi Lingdrewhisarm, the persuasionsaid.
“这是啼魂自己选择的路,你要相信她。”紫灵拉了拉他的手臂,劝说道。Han Lihearsword, after silentlong time, nods.韩立闻言,默然良久后,点了点头。Weeping Soul is like Golden Child, hasownroad to walk, hasto face directly the Heavenly Courtpath to likehe himselfwalk.啼魂与金童一样,都有自己的路要走,就像他自己也有直面天庭的道路要走一样。„Early tomorrow morning, Iwill embarkto go toDragon Deep Pool Immortal Territory, when the time comes, you newsreorganizationaboutFeng Qingshuiwill giveme.”Han LilookstoFlood Dragon 3, said.
“明日一早,我会出发前往龙渊仙域,到时候,你将关于冯清水的消息整理给我。”韩立看向蛟三,说道。
......
……Is the night.
是夜。Above the center of the lakeislandmain hall, Han LiandZi Linglie downon the inclinedroof, each otherrelies on one another, lookstodoes not knowmanyyears, has not looked up tostarry sky.
湖心岛大殿之上,韩立与紫灵躺在倾斜的屋顶上,彼此相依,望向已经不知多少年,不曾仰望过的星空。Onlypitifully, the backdropis jet blacktonight, abovevault of heavenrarestar light, thatwaning moonwas also camouflagedby the dark cloud, allenvelopped the one/1st level/layerdimray.
只可惜,今夜天幕漆黑,天穹之上少有星光,就连那轮残月也被乌云遮蔽,一切都笼上了一层朦胧的光芒。Han Litakes back the vision, staresfemale who the sideis snuggling, sees onlyinthisdarklight shadow, Zi Lingbeautifulfaceas beforebright and cleanlikejade, is reflecting the lightray.韩立收回目光,凝视着身旁依偎的女子,只见在这幽暗的光影中,紫灵绝美的脸庞依旧莹洁如玉,反射着淡淡的光芒。
The outline of herprofileundersuchmoonlight, shinessomewhatfuzzily, has the different kindaesthetic sense.
她侧脸的轮廓在这样的月色下,映照得有些模糊,却有着别样的美感。„Zi Ling, I......”Han Licannot bearcallonelightly, lifts the handto caresshercheeks.
“紫灵,我……”韩立忍不住轻唤一声,抬手抚上她的脸颊。RegardingZi Ling, Han Li many are hasguilty.
对于紫灵,韩立多少是心存愧疚的。Theirpastmeetacquaintance, each otherattracted each other, was more like the friendto meet, was gold/metalFengyu, winning the worldwere innumerable.
他们当年相遇相识,彼此惺惺相惜,更像是知己一遇,便是金风玉露,胜却人间无数。As a result ofall sorts ofreasons, amongthem, throughoutjust likestranger.
只是,由于种种缘故,他们之间,始终宛如陌路。„It is not no needto sayanything, Icanenjoytranquilityat this moment, is well satisfied.”Zi Linghas not turned around, the vision is still looking out into the distance the vault of heaven, saidin a soft voice.
“不必说些什么,我能享受此刻的宁静,就已经心满意足了。”紫灵没有转过身,目光依然远眺着天穹,轻声说道。Han Lihearsword, the corners of the mouthbring backimmediatelywipe the happy expression.韩立闻言,随即嘴角勾起一抹笑意。A moment later, Zi Lingput out a handto draw an arm of Han Li, the pillowafterownbrain.
片刻之后,紫灵伸手拉过韩立的一只手臂,枕在了自己的脑后。„This timegoes, mustbe extremely careful, the intactlosslessregioncomes backElder SisterWan'er, mywheredoes not go, has waited foryouto come backhere.”Zi Lingraises headslightly, lookstoHan Li, said.
“此番前去,一定要万分小心,将婉儿姐姐完璧无损地带回来,我哪里都不去,会在这里一直等你们回来的。”紫灵微微仰头,看向韩立,说道。Han Lilooked downone, buriedinZi Ling of ownchest, suddenlythought that sometoodid not adapt, in his mind, Zi Ling was always the valiantagilefemale, raretoday'ssoaffection.韩立低头看了一眼,把头埋在自己胸膛的紫灵,忽然觉得有些不太适应,在他的印象中,紫灵从来都是飒爽利落的女子,少有今日这般作态。„Youknow, IinDisc of Six Paths of Samsara, whatseenprevious lifeam?”Zi Lingasked.
“你知道,我在六道轮回盘中,看到的上一世是什么样的吗?”紫灵问道。„Whatis?”Han Liaskedimmediately.
“是什么样的?”韩立马上问道。Regardingthisissue, hewantsto askbefore, was only the Zi Lingconditionwas not goodat that time, hehas not asked the exit|to speak.
对于这个问题,他之前就想问过,只是当时紫灵的状态不好,他才没有问出口。„Actuallyandhas nogreat storms, the life experienceis hard and dangerous. Conversely, inprevious life, Iamhuman world a ordinaryfemale who does not havespiritual root, firstmanneralsoshorthundredyears of lifespan. In that Ihave been waiting for a person, fromwaits till the sixty year cycleseventy years of ageyoung, waitedfor a lifetime, thatpersonhas not appeared.”Zi Lingsaidslowly.
“其实并没有什么大风大浪,身世艰险。相反的,上一世里,我不过是人界一个没有灵根的凡俗女子,一世为人也不过短短百载寿元。在那一世里,我一直在等一个人,从豆蔻年华等到花甲古稀,等了一辈子,那人也没有出现。”紫灵缓缓说道。
The wordfinishes, herpair of bright eyesare staring atboth eyes of Han Li.
言毕,她一双明眸凝视着韩立的双目。In the Han Liheart, heard a summonslightlyindistinctly, seems like for manyyears ago thatbeautiful figure in dream, butalreadyunclearappearance.韩立心中微微一荡,隐约听到了一声呼唤,似乎是多年前梦中的那道倩影,但已经记不清面貌了。Hecircles the armafterZi Lingneck, caressesfollowingitsmild-manneredlong hairlightly, pulledhershouldergently.
恍惚间,他绕在紫灵颈后的手臂,顺着其一头柔顺长发轻抚而下,轻轻挽住了她的肩膀。
The Zi Lingbodytremblesslightly, but also was then loose, snugglein the Han Libosom, twitteringsaid:紫灵身子微微一颤,但接着又松了下来,依偎在韩立怀中,呢喃道:„Therefore...... in this lifeIam very satisfied, canmeet by chancehas been not easy, hasthisreason, what but alsothere is not content? Whatalsohasto be goodto regret?”
“所以……这一世我已经很满足了,能够相逢已属不易,结下这一段缘,还有什么不知足的?还有什么好遗憾的?”Han Lilookstoward her sees onlyinherpair of bright eyesto exude the water glare, is shining a ray, just liketwostars shinesstarry skies, is beautifulintoxicated.韩立朝她看去,只见她的一双明眸中泛着水光,亮着点点光芒,犹如两片星光灿烂的星空,美得令人心醉。At this time, the night windgot upsuddenlygradually, swayedoneclump of dark clouds, blockedwiped the moonlightfinally.
这时,夜风忽然渐起,将一丛乌云吹拂而过,挡住了最后一抹月光。EntireYellow Springs Great Lakewent black, in fourare wild the dimspookyphosphorescent light, raisesfromvariouslake surfaceplacesslowly, shines upon the quietgreenpieceall around.
整个黄泉大泽陷入了黑暗,四野里朦朦胧胧的幽幽磷火,缓缓从湖面各处升起,将四周映照得幽绿一片。Quieta moment later, in the skylightlyis rainingsuddenly.
沉寂了片刻之后,天空之中忽然淅淅沥沥地下起了雨。
The Netherworldrain, the natureandImmortal Worldare different.冥界的雨,自然与仙界不同。In the fine rainhas the overcastauracontamination, therefore the rainwateralsostagnation, fallson, althoughis insufficientto hinder, buteventuallyis notfine deeds.
雨丝之中多有阴晦气息沾染,所以雨水也更为沉滞,落在身上虽不至于有所妨害,但终究不是件美事。Han Lidoes not hopethisrarewas disturbed, to lift the handto wieldtranquilly, gets rid to draw back the dark cloudon the desire.韩立不愿这难得的宁静被打扰,抬手一挥,就欲将乌云摒退。Zi Linglifted the handto hold onhisarm, withthinsaidlike the houseflyneutral tone: „Hugsmeto go back.”紫灵抬手拉住了他的胳膊,用细如蚊蝇般的轻声说道:“抱我回去。”„No longerlater......”
“不再待会儿……”
The Han Liwordshave not said,lowers the headto see the cheeks of Zi Linghave risenred, understoodhermeaninginstantaneously.韩立话没说完,低头看到紫灵的脸颊已经涨得通红,瞬间明白了她的意思。Hestops the thread of conversation, held in the armsherbacksingle-handedly, anotherpasses throughherlegto be curvedgently, heldithorizontally, walkstoward the palace.
他止住话头,一手搂住了她的脊背,另一手轻轻穿过她的腿弯,将其横抱了起来,朝殿内走去。
The nightenters the depthgradually, sky over the center of the lakeisland, clouds and rain gathered, momentumgraduallybig.
夜渐入深,湖心岛上空,云雨相聚,声势渐渐大了起来。
......
……
The night rainlike the curtain, has gotten downonewhole evening, from time to timelightly, from time to time the strong windswreak havoc.
夜雨如幕,一直下了一整晚,时而淅淅沥沥,时而狂风肆虐。
The wind and raininterweavetangled up, falls the landin the silentnighttime sky, causesNetherworldtheevening, is somewhat unusual.
风与雨交织缠绵,在寂静的夜空中倾洒大地,使得冥界的这一晚,有些与众不同。In the morning, clouds disappear and rain stop.
清晨时分,云收雨歇。Han Liopened eyes, is looking at the side is still sleeping soundly the gracefulphysique, and face of thatcausing the downfall of the nationbeautiful woman, the visionhas not put asidelong time.韩立睁开眼,望着身边仍在熟睡着的曼妙身姿,以及那张倾国倾城的脸,目光良久没有移开。Has not knownhow long, heopened the opens the mouth, wantedto sayanything, buthad words on the tip of the tongue, actuallydoes not know that saidanythingwas good, finallychanged into a sigh.
不知过了多久,他张了张口,想要说些什么,但话到嘴边,却不知说什么才好,终于化为了一声叹息。Hesets out, changes a brand-newazurerobe, looked at dumbly the long timein the bedside, finallyturns aroundto walktoward the entrance.
他起身,换上一身崭新青袍,在床边呆立了半晌,终于转身朝着门口走去。On the bed, the Zi Linglongeyelashtremblesslightly, drop of clearteardropsdripslowlyfollowing the cheeks, leaves behindtogether the carefultear stains.
床上,紫灵长长的睫毛微微一颤,一滴晶莹泪珠顺着脸颊缓缓淌下,留下一道细细的泪痕。
Before Han Liarrives at the gate, glances back, looked atonein the beddirectionagain, sawZi Lingstillto sleep soundly, lifts the step, the doorcoveredgently.韩立走到门前,蓦然回首,再次朝床方向望了一眼,见紫灵仍在熟睡,抬步而出,将门轻轻掩上。In the roomswings the leisurelycandlelightto stagnate, laterreturnedagainsilent.
屋内摇逸的烛光为之一滞,随后再度回到了寂静。Whenhearrives at the palaceentranceplace, Gan Jiuzhenhas waited there.
当他来到殿门口处时,甘九真已经等在了那里。„Prepared?”Han Liwalks up, asks.
“都准备好了?”韩立走上前去,问道。„Doesn't Zi Ling, see offwithyoutoday?”Gan Jiuzhenlooked atHan Libehind, opens the mouthto ask.
“紫灵呢,今日不与你送别吗?”甘九真看了看韩立身后,开口问道。„Last nightlanguagerespectivelyhas said that this morningdoes not needto talk too muchagain.”Han Lishakes the head, said.
“昨夜分别之语已经说过了,今晨就不必再多言了。”韩立摇了摇头,说道。Gan Jiuzhenlooks the color of doubt, actuallyalsowhenonlyZi Lingdoes not abandondistinguishes, has not closely examinedanythingagain.甘九真面露狐疑之色,却也只当紫灵是不舍分别,没有再追问什么。
Her wrist/skillrevolution, takes out a palm of the handsize the tokenandblackjade memo, givesHan Li.
她手腕一转,取出一枚巴掌大小的令牌和一枚黑色玉简,递给韩立。„Bodhi Token?”Han Lireceivedin the handto look, the doubtssaid.
“菩提令?”韩立接过手中一看,疑惑道。„The Dragon Deep Pool Immortal Territoryitselfis one of the 36bigImmortal Territory, canlead toCentral Earth Immortal Territory. At this time the festival, youbringBodhi Token, said that isgoes toCentral Earth Immortal Territoryto participate inBodhi Feast, was more effective than anyentryarticleofficial document, canbe shortmuchtroublesome.”Gan Jiuzhensaid.
“龙渊仙域本就是三十六大仙域之一,能够通往中土仙域。这时节,你带着菩提令,就说是前往中土仙域参加菩提宴,比任何通关文牒都管用,能少去不少麻烦。”甘九真说道。Completeness that very „ youconsider. „ Han Linods, a wrist/skillrevolution, received.
“你考虑的很周全。“韩立点了点头,手腕一转,收了起来。„Before is the fatherleaves, has told. Howinthatjade memorecordedto go toDragon Deep Pool Immortal Territory, recordedrelatedFeng Qingshuisomenews, hopes that canhelpyou.”Gan Jiuzhensaid.
“都是父亲离开前吩咐过的。那枚玉简里面记载了如何前往龙渊仙域,也记载了有关冯清水的一些消息,希望能够帮到你吧。”甘九真说道。„Hasthese, was enough.” After a Han Lislightlyexamination, said.
“有这些,足够了。”韩立略一查看后,说道。„Mustsave mother.” The Gan Jiuzhenpursing the lipslip , the seriousinjunctionsaid.
“一定要将娘亲救回来。”甘九真抿了抿嘴唇,郑重嘱咐道。„Meeting.”Han Linods, said.
“会的。”韩立点了点头,说道。Then, hisboth handspinchmagical formula, onlysaid„walked”, above the Nine Heavensalong with, even if correct saying that golden thunderfallslayer on layer/heavily.
说罢,他双手一掐法诀,只说了一句“走了”,九天之上随即便有道道金雷重重落下。
After "Zī la"makes noise, the Han Liformhas disappeared in same place.
一阵“滋啦”作响之后,韩立的身影已经消失在了原地。
Before Gan Jiuzhenbody , the spacefluctuatesis still surging, hervisionlooks out into the distance, in the eyefullworries about the look.甘九真身前空间波动犹在激荡,她的目光远眺,眼中满是担忧神色。
