Heavenly Wolf Mountaincomprised oftwomountain peaks.天狼山由两座山峰组成。Looksfrom afarthattwomountain peakslook liketwoheaddressoppositeare squatting the greatwolves, twogreatwolves are also maketo face upward the stance of long and loud cry.
远远看去,两座山峰就像是两头面对面蹲着的巨狼,两头巨狼还都是做出仰天长啸的姿态。Betweentwomountain peakshas a Grand Canyon, the cliffis steep, fireCrystal Stoneon the canyontwo sidescliffs, mustminefireCrystal Stone, mustclimb uptheseprecipitouscliffs.
两座山峰之间有一个大峡谷,悬崖陡峭,火晶石就在峡谷两边的峭壁上,要开采火晶石,必须攀上那些险峻的峭壁。
The mortalswantto mineonthesecliffs, is not quite obviously realistic, only thentheseyear to yearpainstaking cultivationmartial practitioner, because the physical qualityis extremely outstanding, canshoulder the heavy responsibility of opening up a mine.
凡人想要在那些峭壁上采矿,明显不太现实,只有那些常年苦修的武者,因为身体素质极其出众,才能担当开矿的重任。Qin LieandLing Yushioneline, arrived atHeavenly Wolf Mountaininonein the evening,秦烈和凌语诗一行人,在一个傍晚到达了天狼山,Theyonpresentcanyontwo sidesrock wall, hangmanyrattanropesimmediately, Gao FamilyandFeng Familymartial practitionerare grasping the rope, the apes and monkeyssameactivityon the cliff, takes the shovelandmoyleto striketo the rock.
他们立即现峡谷两边的岩壁上,垂着很多藤条绳索,高家、冯家的武者手持绳索,猿猴一样活动在峭壁上,拿着铲刀、十字镐对着岩石敲敲打打。
Under the sunset glowshines, canfind the fragmentaryscarlet-redflamefaintly, glittersonrock wall.
晚霞照耀下,隐隐能瞧见零星的赤红火光,闪烁在岩壁上。Has the prosperousoptical scintillationplace, oftencanseetiny piecefireCrystal Stone, thistype of stoneis the scarletred, under such as a turbidcrystal, the sunlightwill shinewill shine.
有红火光闪烁的地方,往往就能看到小块的火晶石,这种石头呈赤红色,如一种浑浊的结晶体,日光照耀下会亮。Qin Lielooks at the flametwinkleplace on canyonrock wall, bottom of heartmuttersone, „thisisfireCrystal Stone......”秦烈看着峡谷岩壁上的火光闪烁处,心底喃喃一句,“这就是火晶石啊……”Helistens tohisgrandfatherto explain the refinerin detail, knowseachArtificer, whensmeltsSpirit Materials, musthave the Fire Sourcecoordination.
他听他爷爷详细讲解过炼器,知道每一个炼器师在熔炼灵材的时候,都必须有火源配合。This pointis very easyto understandthat the blacksmith in this world, needsto burn downin the hammeringfriendly, the refineris naturally impossibleto be separated fromthisbasic step.
这一点很容易理解,就连凡尘的铁匠,在打铁的时候都需要热火焚烧,炼器自然也不可能脱离这个基本步骤。Naturally, ArtificerFire Source, flame that igniteswiththis worldblacksmithlumber is not quite naturally same.
当然,炼器师的火源,和凡尘铁匠木材燃起的火焰自然不太一样。ArtificerFire Source, generallythreecommonways, the firsttypeis the ArtificeritselfcultivationflamemeritSecret Art, cantakeSpiritual Powerto transformasFire Source of refiner, thiswayrelies onArtificerrealmsto cultivate is, mostconsumes the oneway of ArtificerSpiritual Powerandspirit.炼器师的火源,一般有三种常见的方式,第一种是炼器师本身修炼火焰功诀,能以灵力转化为炼器的火源,这种方式很依赖炼器师的境界修为,也是最耗费炼器师灵力和精神的一种方式。HisgrandfatherrepairsSpirit Artifact, isusesthisFire Sourceto smelt, Artificer of cultivationflamemeritSecret Art, regardless of the person where, cananytime and anywhere the refiner, thisFire SourcetoArtificerbemost convenient, actuallymostconsumesSpiritual Power, relies onto cultivateisrealms.
他爷爷修复灵器,就是利用这种火源来熔炼,修炼火焰功诀的炼器师,无论人在何处,都能随时随地炼器,这种火源对炼器师而言是最方便的,却最耗费灵力,最依赖修为境界。SecondFire Source, isrely oncomes the refinerinEarth Coreflame and fire mountainraging fire, generallymanyrefinergrandmaster, wantrefininghugeSpirit Artifactoftento selectthismethod, there is a specialrefinersect, will choosefire mountainis the place of smelting, guides the fire mountainraging fireto enter the rooms of refiner, comes the refineruseto the discipleanddisciple.
第二种火源,是借助于地心火焰、火山的烈火来炼器,一般很多炼器宗师,要淬炼巨大的灵器往往采用这种方式,也有专门的炼器宗派,会挑选火山为熔炼之地,导引火山的烈火进一个个炼器的房间,给弟子、门徒来炼器使用。Thisrely oninFire Source of strength of nature, cannot the refiner, not consumeSpiritual Powerto cultivateanytime and anywhereis, butmustfixinone, advantages are accompanied by disadvantages.
这种借助于自然之力的火源,不能够随时随地炼器,不耗费灵力修为,但要固定在一处,有利有弊。ThirdFire Source, usesfireCrystal StonethisclassflameSpirit Materials, lights the burning hotSpirit Materialsto come the refinerasFire Source.
第三种火源,就是利用火晶石这类的火焰灵材,点燃炙热的灵材作为火源来炼器。Thiskind of Fire Source, will not consumeArtificerownSpiritual Powerandcultivatesis, but can also carryalong, isonemethod that mostArtificerselect.
这一类火源,既不会耗费炼器师自身的灵力和修为,还能随身携带,是大多数炼器师都采用的一种方式。ThisFire Source, belongsone timeconsumptive, uses upare together few.
只是这种火源,属于一次性消耗性的,用掉一块就少一块。ThreeFire Source, canachieveto smelt the Spirit Materialsgoal, has the advantagesrespectively, Artificeralsowill sometimes combine the use, canwieldeachFire Sourcesuperiority.
三种火源,都能达到熔炼灵材的目的,各有利弊,炼器师有时候还会组合使用,能将各个火源的优势挥出来。Broke throughtoBody Refining7th Heavenly Layerrealms, Qin Lie can also the Spiritual Poweroverflow, thismeans that canuseSpirit Artifacttruly, wielded the Spirit Artifactmight.
突破到炼体七重天境界,秦烈也能灵力外溢了,这就意味着能真正使用灵器,挥出灵器的威力来。Recently, healsoinrememberingSpirit Array Diagram in Soul Suppressing Orb, thisletshimto the refinermanya littleidea......
最近一段时间,他还一直在记忆镇魂珠内的灵阵图,这让他对炼器多少有点想法……AlthoughfireCrystal StonerefinerFire Source of mostfoundation, maytohim, wantto obtainis not an easymatter.
火晶石虽然只是最基础的炼器火源,可对他而言,想得到也不是一件容易的事情。HeaccompaniesLing Yushito comeHeavenly Wolf Mountaintogether, on the one hand was worried that Ling Yushiwill have an accident, on the other hand, healsowantsto makeignitionCrystal Stoneto try the hand.
他陪同凌语诗一起来天狼山,一方面是担心凌语诗会出事,另一方面,他也是想弄一点火晶石来试试手。„Ling Familycomesto report.” The Ling Yushispeakerdrinkstenderly.
“凌家前来报道。”凌语诗扬声娇喝。Under the canyon, wears the man of Nebulalong gown, sitsin a deck chair.
峡谷下方,一名身穿星云长袍的男子,坐在一个躺椅中。Heis looking at the spacesunset glowsluggishly, at this timelookedtoLing Familyoneline, lifts the handto hintthemto come, thensaid: „IcalledLiu Yan, was arrangedto be responsible forthis matterbyabove, um, today the weatherwas late, fromtomorrow morning, youmineswithFeng FamilyandGao Family, fireCrystal Stone that every daymustcomegaveme, Ican11statistics, after the dutyfinish, Nebula Pavilionwill giveyourcorrespondingSpirit Stoneas the reward.”
他正懒散看着天上晚霞,这时候不由瞄向凌家一行人,抬手示意他们过来,然后说道:“我叫刘延,被上面安排负责此事,嗯,今日天色已晚,从明早起,你们就和冯家、高家一起采矿,每天得来的火晶石交给我,我会11统计,任务结束后,星云阁会给你们相应的灵石做为酬劳。”
The Liu Yan30 -year-old appearances, the statureis slightly fat, gathers the beard, the eyepartlyis narrowing the eyesthroughout, a carelessmanner.刘延30来岁的模样,身材略胖,蓄着胡须,眼睛始终半眯着,一副漫不经心的态度。„Big brotherLiu, thisisFeng Familytoday'sharvest.” A youthof outstanding ability, formvigorousgets downfromplace abovejump, throws a cloth sackonLiu Yanfronttable, at oncesmilestoward the Ling Familypersonbrightly, said: „Ling Feng, long time no see?”
“刘大哥,这是冯家今天的收获。”一名俊逸的青年,身影矫健的从上方跳跃下来,将一个布袋扔在刘延面前的桌子上,旋即朝着凌家人灿烂一笑,道:“凌峰,好久不见了啊?”
The youthare handsome, wear the whitevigorattire, the lower hem cornerburnare slidinggold edged, appearsmagnificent and expensiveuncommon.
青年俊朗出众,身穿白色劲装,衣角烫着一溜金边,显得华贵不凡。HismouthspoketowardLing Feng, the eyeactuallylookedtoLing Yushi, the stridewalked, the smiling facesunlightsaid: „Ling Yushi! He He, Ling Familythistimewas ledbyyou, haven't weseena while?”
他嘴里是朝着凌峰讲话,眼睛却看向凌语诗,大步就走了过来,笑容阳光道:“凌语诗!呵呵,原来凌家这次由你带队,我们有一阵子没见了吧?”„Um, there aretwoyears.”Ling Yushisaidindifferently.
“嗯,有两年了。”凌语诗淡然说道。„Hewho?”Ling Yinginquired the personal maidservant.
“他谁啊?”凌颖询问身边人。„Feng Yi, Feng FamilytwoYoung Master, firsttwoyearswereBody Refining7th Heavenly Layerrealms, nowcertainachieved8th Heavenly Layer. Hiselder brotherFeng Kai, nowisNebula PavilionCore Disciple, does not have the words of accident, thisfellowshouldalsobreak throughNatal Opening Realmbefore20years old, follows closelyhiselder brother'sstepto enterNebula Pavilion.”
“冯逸,冯家的二少爷,前两年就是炼体七重天境界了,现在肯定达到八重天了。他的哥哥冯凯,如今已经是星云阁的核心弟子了,没意外的话,这家伙应该也会在20岁前突破开元境,紧随他哥哥的步伐进入星云阁。”LookstraightforwardLing Xin, slightlyobviouslyadmireslookstoFeng Yi, explainedtoLing Yingin a low voice, „twoyears ago, IandbigYoung LadyalsohasLing FenginArctic Mountain Range, formed a teamto hunt and killSpirit Beastwiththem, manya littlefriendship. Feng Yihad the favorable impressiontobigYoung Ladyat that time......”
相貌粗豪的凌鑫,略显敬佩地看向冯逸,低声向凌颖解释,“两年前,我和大小姐还有凌峰在极寒山脉内,曾经组队和他们猎杀过灵兽,多少有点交情。冯逸当时就对大小姐有好感……”„NineFourth RankfireCrystal Stone, but also is good, tomorrowwill continueto try hard.”Liu Yanhas counted, narrows the eyesto focusto smile, noddedtoFeng Yi.
“九块四品火晶石,还不错,明天继续努力。”刘延统计了一下,眯着眼笑了笑,冲冯逸点了点头。At this time, Feng Familyotherninemartial practitioner, one after anotherfromrock wall.
这时候,冯家的其余九名武者,也相继从岩壁上下来。TheystandsideFeng Yi, discussedwith a smilefireCrystal Stoneminingknack, whilelookstoLing Familyhereperson, theirlines of sight, revolvesideLing YushiandLing Yingwith emphasis, oftenhe hesmiles, exchangestwoin a low voice.
他们都站在冯逸身旁,一边笑着讨论火晶石的开采诀窍,一边看向凌家这边的人,他们的视线,重点围绕在凌语诗和凌颖身旁,不时地呵呵一笑,低声交流两句。TenFeng Familymartial practitioner, areRefinement Boundary, is atfiveandsix, 7th Heavenly Layer, and...... Alsomale.
十名冯家武者,都是炼体境界,大多数处在五、六、七重天,而且……还都是男的。Theycomeearlier a point, aridlyminesafterseveraldays, seesattractivesharpLing YushiandLing Yingsuddenly, is the eyeonebright, suddenlywas energetic.
他们过来的稍早一点,经过几天枯燥地采矿,猛然一看到光鲜亮丽的凌语诗和凌颖,都是眼睛一亮,忽然精神了起来。„Liubrother, thisisGao Family.”
“刘哥,这是高家的。”Alsois a youthdiving posturefalls, this youthblackmartial practitionerclothing/taking, longhangsin the two sidesshoulder, the facial expressionsinister and vicious, in the lookrevealsdenseandevilintent.
又是一名青年飞身落下,这青年一身黑色武者服,长垂在两边肩膀,神情阴鸷,眼神中流露出着森然和邪意。„ThisisGao Yu, Gao FamilysmallYoung Master, histwoelder sistersbothenteredNebula Pavilion. Gao FamilyPatriarchspoilsto regard as importanttohimextremely, hisfellowhimself...... A littlestrange, heshouldbe only16 years old, is smaller than Feng Yi one year old, a while agoheardalsobroke throughtoBody Refining8th Heavenly Layerrealms.”
“这是高宇,高家的小少爷,他两个姐姐都进入星云阁了。高家家主对他极为溺爱看重,他家伙本身……有点邪乎,他应该只有16岁,比冯逸还小一岁,前段时间听说也突破到炼体八重天境界了。”Thistimedoes not wait forLing Yingto askthatLing Xinhas lowered the sound, gaveto explainthisperson of origin.
这次不等凌颖问,凌鑫压低了声音,将此人来历也给解释了一遍。Has thought that the Ling Xincalmface, said: „ThisGao Yu...... You, rumorfellow is a little carefully abnormal, oncehad killed by mistreatmentseveralyoung girls. Um, do not provokehim, otherwisetroublesinfinitely.”
想了一下,凌鑫沉着脸,又说道:“这个高宇……你小心一点,传言这家伙有点变态,曾虐杀过几个少女。嗯,你可别招惹上他,不然麻烦无穷。”Listened to a Ling Xinsuchsaying, alwayslikedinLing Ying that in front ofLing Fengshowed off, the backspilling over the chill in the air.
听凌鑫这么一说,向来喜欢在凌峰面前卖弄的凌颖,背脊都泛出了寒意。Looked in thatcomplexionmicrowhite, cold and gloomyboth eyeswas also bringingGao Yu of evilintent, retreat that Ling Yingdid not control selfonestep, andLing Fengapproached, was a little obviously timid.
看了看那脸色微白,森冷双眼中还带着邪意的高宇,凌颖不自禁的后退了一步,将自己和凌峰靠近了一些,明显有点胆怯。„FiveFourth Rank, sixThird Rank, togetherFifth Rank, the harvestis good.”Liu Yansatstraight the body, aftercarefulpoint, smiledtothatGao Yu.
“五块四品,六块三品,还有一块五品,收获不错。”刘延坐直了身子,仔细点过后,对那高宇笑了笑。Qin Liepaid attention, presentlyLiu YanwhentreatsGao Yu, has not continuedto shrinkin the chair, butsat the bodystraight, as iftook seriously this person of point.秦烈留意了一下,现刘延在对待高宇的时候,没有继续缩在椅子内,而是将身子坐直了,似乎更加重视此人一点。Gao Yuslightlyreveals the yin cold the vision, has swepton the Ling Familypeople, led the Gao Familyclansmanto get out of the way, went tocanyonanotherend, mustprepareto light a fireto cook.高宇略显阴寒的目光,在凌家众人身上扫过,就带着高家族人走开,去了峡谷另外一端,要准备生火弄饭了。„Ling Feng, Yushi, youcometo make the pointto eatwithustogether.”Feng Yiinvitedwarmly.
“凌峰,语诗,你们来和我们一道弄点吃的。”冯逸热情地邀请。„Does not use, webringeats, on the roadhas also hitmanysmallbeasts, does not needto trouble.”Ling Yushipersuasive wordsrejection.
“不用了,我们自己带吃的了,路上也打了不少小兽,不用麻烦。”凌语诗婉言拒绝。„Yushiyou were also too polite, ourtwoyearshad not seen, everyone/Great Familydrinks a liquorto chatseveralwell, doesn't thisfacegive?” The Feng Yiforced smilesaid.
“语诗你也太客气了,我们都两年没见了,大家就喝点酒好好聊几句,难道这个面子都不给?”冯逸苦笑道。„That...... Good.”Ling Yushiis helpless, is leadingLing Familyoneline, toward the place of Feng Familybeing stationed.
“那……好吧。”凌语诗无奈,便带着凌家一行人,往冯家驻扎之地去了。Feng Familyseveralmartial practitionerlight a firequickly, the wine pot that will preparetakes, puts out the cooked meat, invited the Ling Familypersonto sitwith a smile.冯家的几名武者很快就生起火来,将准备的酒坛取出来,又拿出熟肉来,笑着邀请凌家人坐下来。Ling Feng, Ling Xinand the others, know wellwithsomeFeng Familypeople, is impolite, took a seatdirectly, puts outhareandpheasantthis that classsmallbeasthunts foron the way, puts upto collectat the fire of high-piled firewood, andFeng Familymartial practitionerjoke, whileis movingbakingskilled.凌峰、凌鑫等人,和冯家一些人熟识,也不客气,直接就坐了过来,拿出途中猎到的野兔、山鸡这类的小兽,架起来就凑在火堆上,一边和冯家武者笑谈,一边熟练地拨动着烧烤。„Qin Lie, yousitme.”Ling Yushidoes not avoid suspicionis entrainingQin Lie, himaccording to ownside, thenreceived the barbecue that Feng Yihands over, directhardin his hands, supplesound track: „Has marched onthatlongroad, yourcertainwas hungry, youfront the padbellyfirst, whenIroastseveralpheasantsto eattoyouimmediately.”
“秦烈,你坐我这边来。”凌语诗毫不避嫌地拽着秦烈,将他按在自己身旁,然后接过冯逸递过来的烤肉,直接硬塞在他手中,柔声道:“赶了那么久的路,你肯定饿了,你先垫垫肚子,等我马上给你烤几个山鸡来吃。”Feng Yitoflatter the beautiful woman, roastsripemeatnot to eat, firstgaveLing Yushito do everything to please.冯逸为了讨好佳人,烤熟的肉自己都没吃,先递给了凌语诗献殷勤。Has not expected the beautiful womanto be simpler, has given directlynearbyQin Lie, thismakesFeng Yiobviouslya littlestunned, the complexion is a little also awkward.
没料到佳人更加干脆,直接就递给了旁边的秦烈,这让冯逸明显有点错愕,脸色也有点尴尬。„Is thislittle brother?”Feng Yiasked.
“这位小兄弟是?”冯逸笑着问。
The Qin Lielookis wooden, does not knowpolitely, took the barbecueto eat, the table manners were not quite elegant.秦烈神色木然,也不知道客气,拿了烤肉就吃了起来,吃相也不太雅观。„Myfiance.”Ling Yushisaidnaturally.
“我未婚夫。”凌语诗自然而然道。
The smiling face on Feng Yiface, stiffenedall of a sudden, hislookonedark, has hit, said: „When did youbecome engaged? Hasn't your fatherinformedourFeng Family? Ireally am a newshave not received.”冯逸脸上的笑容,一下子就僵住了,他眼神一暗,打了个哈哈,说道:“你什么时候订婚了啊?你父亲怎么没有通知我们冯家?我真是一点消息都没收到。”Feng Familythesemartial practitioner, staresslightly, earnestlylooks at carefullyQin Lie.冯家的那些武者,也是微微一愣,不由认真端详起秦烈来。Thought sothatthey the Qin Lielookis presently wooden, as ifa littledoes not suit, thinkscurious.
这么一看,他们现秦烈神色木然,似乎有点不对劲,愈觉得好奇。„Is only the engagement, is not the howimportantmatter, thereforemy fatherthought that does not needto manageon a grand scale, does not have the noticeperipheralfriend.”Ling Yushishows a faint smile, sees„ba”straightsound that Qin Lieeats, knows that hiscertainisintentionallyforit, rebukedstaredhisoneeyes, did not know whether to laugh or cryat heart, secret passage: Yourthisfellow, certainistitter, is throwingmypersonintentionally.
“只是订婚而已,也不是多么重要的事情,所以我爹觉得不需要大张旗鼓去办,就没通知周边的朋友。”凌语诗微微一笑,见秦烈吃的“吧唧”直响,就知道他肯定是故意为之,不由嗔怪地瞪了他一眼,心里哭笑不得,暗道:你这家伙,肯定是在偷笑,在故意丢我的人。„Ling Xin, thisfellowwho? Beforeprobablyhad not seen, he...... A little?”Feng Familymartial practitioner, the inquiry of probesaid.
“凌鑫,这家伙谁啊?以前好像没见过,他是不是……有点?”一名冯家武者,试探的询问道。Ling Xinsnort|hum, disdained saying: „Heis notourLing Familyperson, thisfellowbrainhas the issue, a fool, who knowsPatriarchwhycomplyingletsbigYoung Ladyandhebecomes engaged.”凌鑫哼了一声,不屑道:“他不是我们凌家人,这家伙脑子有问题,一个傻子罢了,鬼知道家主为什么答应让大小姐和他订婚。”„Isaid that looksstupidly, but also is really a fool.”Thatpersonsmilesstrangely.
“我就说嘛,看着就呆头呆脑的,还真就是个傻子。”那人怪笑起来。„Shouted!”
“呼!”
The fire rake in Ling Yushihand, but also is bringing a greasypheasant, draws a scarlet-redfiring line, hitsdirectlyinthatperson of chest.凌语诗手中的火棍,还带着一只油腻的山鸡,划出一条赤红火线,直接撞在那人胸口。Hitthatpersonstuffysnort|hum, thenstandsfiercely, hehurriesto pat the powdermindsmall fire sparks, so as to avoidignitesflame, at oncethenablaze with angerstarestoLing Yushi.
被撞的那人不由闷哼一声,然后猛地站起来,他赶紧将胸襟火星子拍散,免得燃起火焰,旋即便怒气冲冲地瞪向凌语诗。„Speechpay attention to a point!” The Ling Yushitendershouted oncesound, the bright eyesbeltghost, has stood suddenly, thenclashesFeng Yi saying: „Many thanksreceived cordially!”SheholdsQin Lie, turns aroundto walk.
“讲话注意一点!”凌语诗娇喝一声,明眸带煞,霍然就站了起来,然后冲冯逸道:“多谢款待了!”她抓住秦烈,转身就走。
The Feng YiheLing Familypeopleare the lookare awkward, Feng Yiscoldedthatclansmanhastily, Ling FengandLing Yinglooks atthistype, has toset outto say goodbye, got out of the waywithLing Yushitogether.冯逸和凌家众人都是神色尴尬,冯逸连忙呵斥那名族人,凌峰和凌颖一看都这个样了,不得不起身道别,跟着凌语诗一起走开了。Ling YushiandQin Liearrive atcanyonanotherend, the elegantfaceis raw and cold, whencomestoLing Fengpeople, hercoldlylookstoLing Xin, said: „Beforeownfamily member, somewordssaid that Ido not haggle over, butdaresto talk too muchonebefore the bystandernext timeagain, does not take it illmenot to be impolite!”凌语诗和秦烈来到峡谷另一端,俏脸生冷,待到凌峰一众人过来,她冷冷看向凌鑫,道:“在自己家人面前,有些话说说我不计较,但下次再敢在外人面前多言一句,休怪我不客气!”Alwayslooks likegentleelegantly simpleshe, suddenlybecomessosevereunreasonable, thismakesLing Xinbottom of heartalsoa littleempty, the complexionrisesred, timiddoes not dareto talk too much.
一向看来温柔淡雅的她,突地变得这般严厉不近人情,这让凌鑫心底也有点虚,脸色涨得通红,唯唯诺诺的不敢多言。
The Qin Lielookis as before wooden, in the heart is actually onewarm.秦烈神色依旧木然,心中却是一暖。
