话音未落，林轩已伸出手来，在腰间一拍，青光耀眼，空白的玉筒简出现在面前，林轩将神识沉八里面。
Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, he reached out and tapped his waist. A dazzling green light appeared before him as the jade cylinder materialized. He sank his spirit into it.
zú zú guò hào - yī dùn fàn de gōng fu ， lín xuān cái tái qǐ tóu ， jiāng yù sì dì dào gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ shǒu zhōng ：“ zī shì tǐ dà ， hái qǐng dào yǒu qīn shǒu zhuǎn jiāo gěi guì shī shū 。”“ shì ， qiè shēn jì xià le ， yí dìng bù fù dào yǒu suǒ tuō 。”
足足过号-一顿饭的功夫，林轩才抬起头，将玉笥递到宫装女子手中：“兹事体大，还请道友亲手转交给贵师叔。”“是，妾身记下了，一定不负道友所托。”
Lin Xuan remained focused for a full meal's time before finally lifting his head to hand over the jade cylinder to the woman in formal attire: "This matter is significant; I request that you personally deliver this to your senior master."
jiàn lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì zhèng zhòng zhī sè ， jī yuè rú máng gōng jìng de diǎn tóu ， yǐn yǐn cāi dào zhè fēng shū xìn kǒng pà fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
见林轩脸上满是郑重之色，姬月如忙恭敬的点头，隐隐猜到这封书信恐怕非同小可。
"Of course, my lady will remember this and ensure it is done as requested," she replied with a bow.
suí hòu liǎng rén yòu liáo le yī xiē bié de ， jiàn lín xuān hé yán yuè sè ， jī yuè rú zì rán jiāng xiū liàn de yī xiē yí nán tí chū ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì yǔ lín xuān jiāo huàn xiū liàn xīn dé 。
随后两人又聊了一些别的，见林轩和颜悦色，姬月如自然将修炼的一些疑难提出，简单的说，就是与林轩交换修炼心得。
Seeing Lin Xuan's serious expression, Ji Yueyu hurriedly nodded respectfully. She guessed that the letter must be of great importance.
zhè yàng de hǎo shì lín xuān dāng rán bú huì lǚ guò ， bié kàn tā néng zhàn shèng lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， dàn yǎn qián de nǚ zǐ jìn jiē hòu qī qí shí yào bǐ tā zǎo dé duō 。
这样的好事林轩当然不会铝过，别看他能战胜离合期修仙者，但眼前的女子进阶后期其实要比他早得多。
Afterward, they discussed other matters. As Lin Xuan was in good spirits, Ji Yueyu naturally brought up some doubts about cultivation techniques. Such an exchange was beneficial for both; while Ji Yueyu gained insight into various issues, Lin Xuan's extensive knowledge and combat experience provided her with valuable answers.
hé kuàng tiān yá hǎi gé zuò wèi qī dà shì lì zhī yī ， mén nèi de gōng fǎ zì rán pǒ yǒu dú dào zhī chù ， sú huà shuō ， tā shān zhī shí kě yǐ gōng yù ， zài liǎng rén de jiāo liú zhōng lín xuān huò yì liáng duō 。
何况天涯海阁做为七大势力之一，门内的功法自然颇有独到之处，俗话说，他山之石可以攻玉，在两人的交流中林轩获益良多。
Time passed unnoticed as the sun began to set. Lin Xuan stood up to bid farewell: "Dan Immortal, I have other matters to attend to. Please deliver this jade cylinder personally to your senior master."
dāng rán ， jī yuè rú yě méi yǒu chī kuī ， lín xuān suī jìn jí bù jiǔ ， dàn kàn guò de diǎn jí hěn duō ， jiàn wén guǎng bó ， yòu zhèng mó yāo jiān xiū ， dǎ dòu de jīng yàn gèng shì fēng fù ， jī yuè rú tí chū de yī xiē yí diǎn ， lín xuān de huí dá ， wǎng wǎng néng ràng tā máo sè dùn kāi 。 jiù zhè yàng ， shí jiān zài bù zhī bù jué zhōng liú shì ， zhuǎn yǎn ， zhòu tóu yǐ jīng piān xī 。
当然，姬月如也没有吃亏，林轩虽晋级不久，但看过的典籍很多，见闻广博，又正魔妖兼修，打斗的经验更是丰富，姬月如提出的一些疑点，林轩的回答，往往能让她茅塞顿开。就这样，时间在不知不觉中流逝，转眼，胄头已经偏西。
With that said, he turned into a streak of lightning and disappeared from sight without waiting for her response. "Lin Immortal..."
lín xuān qǐ shēn gào cí ：“ dān 。 xiān zi ， lín mǒu hái yǒu shì ， nà yù tǒng ， láo fán yí dìng qīn shǒu jiāo dào guì shī shū shǒu zhōng ， zài xià qù le 。”
林轩起身告辞：“丹。仙子，林某还有事，那玉筒，劳烦一定亲手交到贵师叔手中，在下去了。”
Ji Yueyu was left speechless as she watched him leave so abruptly. She held the jade cylinder Lin Xuan had given her, feeling uncertain about what to do next.
shuō wán zhè huà yǐ hòu ， lín xuān yě bù děng duì fāng chū yán wǎn liú ， jiù zhuǎn shēn huà wèi yī dào jīng ☆ shǎn le jǐ shǎn ， yǐ xiāo shī zài yuǎn chù de tiān kōng 。“ lín dào yǒu yī yī yī yī yī yī ”
说完这话以后，林轩也不等对方出言挽留，就转身化为一道惊☆闪了几闪，已消失在远处的天空。“林道友一一一一一一”
"Report to my aunt," the scarred man bowed respectfully before continuing: "Not a single member of Thousand Shadow Sect escaped. Even the灵动期 cultivators and some ordinary servants were sent to the underworld."
duì fāng zǒu dé rú cǐ gān cuì ， jī yuè rú bù yóu de yī dāi ， liǎn shàng lù chū chàng rán ruò shī de biǎo qíng lái ， yù shǒu bǎ wán zhe lín xuān suǒ gěi de yù sì ， yǐn yǐn yǒu xiē chóu chú qǐ lái le 。 liáng jiǔ 。
对方走得如此干脆，姬月如不由得一呆，脸上露出怅然若失的表情来，玉手把玩着林轩所给的玉笥，隐隐有些踌躇起来了。良久。
Ji Yueyu nodded in agreement. Such outcomes were expected; in the cultivation world, survival of the fittest prevailed.
tā tàn le kǒu qì ， dào dǐ méi yǒu jiāng shén shí zhù rù jìn qù ， biǎo miàn shàng ， duì fāng yě shì yuán yīng qī ， dàn shí lì què yǔ lí hé qī lǎo guài xiàng chà wú jǐ ， zhè yù tǒng yòu rú cǐ kàn zhòng ， lǐ miàn méi zuò shǒu jiǎo cái shì guài le 。
她叹了口气，到底没有将神识注入进去，表面上，对方也是元婴期，但实力却与离合期老怪相差无几，这玉筒又如此看重，里面没做手脚才是怪了。
However, she couldn't help but recall an incident that occurred in Yunzhou tens of thousands of years ago. The Hundred Grass Sect had fought against a family named Cheng. After a fierce battle, they emerged victorious and eliminated all high-ranking cultivators from the Cheng family. Yet, their leniency towards one of the灵动期 disciples led to unforeseen consequences.
rú guǒ zì jǐ tōu kàn ， shí yǒu ** huì bèi jué 。
如果自己偷看，十有**会被觉。
Five hundred years later, that same disciple had advanced to an婴后期 cultivator during a period when the Hundred Grass Sect was in decline. This resulted in a tragic outcome for the sect.
suī rán xīn zhōng hào qí ， dàn chù nù duì fāng gèng jiā bù zhì 。
虽然心中好奇，但触怒对方更加不智。
Ji Yueyu's aunt continued: "No one escaped?"
xiǎng le xiǎng ， hái shì bú yào jié wài shēng zhī ， tā jiāng yù tǒng tǒng fàng rù le huái lǐ 。 suí hòu zhuǎn shēn duān qǐ chá ， què yǒu jiǎo bù shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。“ gū mǔ 。”
想了想，还是不要节外生枝，她将玉筒筒放入了怀里。随后转身端起茶，却有脚步声传入耳朵。“姑母。”
"No, my lady," the scarred man replied respectfully before hesitating: "My lady, where is Senior Lin... has he left already?"
zuò wèi yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū shì ， bù yòng huí tóu ， píng jiè shén shí ， tā yě néng jiāng zhōu wéi de yī qiè zhǎng wò dé qīng qīng chǔ chǔ ， lái rén shì jī jiā zhī zhǔ ， bù guò miàn duì tā ， què shì mǎn liǎn gōng jìng zhī sè ， lián dà qì yě bù gǎn chuǎn de 。“ shì qíng bàn dé rú hé ？”
做为元婴后期的大修士，不用回头，凭借神识，她也能将周围的一切掌握得清清楚楚，来人是姬家之主，不过面对她，却是满脸恭敬之色，连大气也不敢喘的。“事情办得如何？”
"Yes."
jī yuè rú huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yòu huī fù le dà xiū xiān zhě nà gāo gāo zài shàng de shén sè 。
姬月如缓缓的开口，此时此刻，她又恢复了大修仙者那高高在上的神色。
"From his appearance, it seems he knows our family well. Who exactly is this senior?"
“ qǐ bǐng gū mǔ ， qiān yǐng zōng de xiū shì wú yī táo tuō ， bāo kuò líng dòng qī ， yǐ jí shǎo shù fán rén zá yì ， quán bù bèi wǒ men sòng qù le yīn cáo dì fǔ 。” bā liǎn hàn zi bào quán xíng le yī lǐ ， wú xì wú xǐ de kāi kǒu le 。
“启禀姑母，千影宗的修士无一逃脱，包括灵动期，以及少数凡人杂役，全部被我们送去了阴曹地府。”疤脸汉子抱拳行了一礼，无隙无喜的开口了。
The scarred man's voice abruptly stopped as Ji Yueyu's gaze turned icy cold. He quickly lowered his head in fear.
ń 。” jī yuè rú diǎn diǎn tóu ， zhè yàng de shì qíng běn yě zài yì liào zhī zhōng ， xiū xiān jiè ruò ròu qiáng shí ， zhēng dòu gèng shì xuè xīng wú bǐ ， yóu qí shì zōng mén jiā zú zhī jiān ， wǎng wǎng shì bù sǐ bù xiū ， jiāng zhàn bài zhě shā gè jī quǎn bù liú 。
嗯。”姬月如点点头，这样的事情本也在意料之中，修仙界弱肉强食，争斗更是血腥无比，尤其是宗门家族之间，往往是不死不休，将战败者杀个鸡犬不留。
"Do not inquire about matters that do not concern you. The existence of Lin Immortal cannot be trifled with by a small family like ours. Since your brother has passed on the position of family head to you, you must take this seriously and avoid causing trouble for our family due to curiosity."
bú yào shuō xīn hěn ， yào zhī dào zhǎn cǎo bù chú gēn ， chūn fēng chuī yòu shēng ， rú guǒ jiāng duì fāng de dī jiē dì zǐ fàng guò ， qiān bǎi nián hòu shuō bù dìng duì fāng huì lái bào chóu de 。
不要说心狠，要知道斩草不除根，春风吹又生，如果将对方的低阶弟子放过，千百年后说不定对方会来报仇的。
Ji Yueyu's words left the scarred man sweating profusely: "Yes, my lady, I understand my mistake and will not repeat it."
zhè yàng de shì qíng yún zhōu céng jīng shēng guò 。
这样的事情云州曾经生过。
"Good. Now go out and issue orders; no one is allowed to speak of seeing Lin Immortal today. Anyone who leaks this information will have their cultivation废去and be punished according to clan rules," Ji Yueyu said sternly.
nà shì shù dīng shí wàn nián qián de wǎng shì le 。
那是数丁十万年前的往事了。
"Yes!" The scarred man shuddered as he bowed again before leaving the hall.
bǎi cǎo mén yǔ yī xìng chéng de xiū xiān jiā zú zhēng dòu ， yī fān è zhàn zhī hòu ， yǐ bǎi cǎo mén wán shèng gào zhōng ， tú jǐn le chéng jiā de gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dàn dāng shí ， bǎi cǎo mén de mén zhǔ yī shí xīn ruǎn ， jiāng chén jiā líng dòng qī de dì zǐ fàng guò 。
百草门与一姓程的修仙家族争斗，一番恶战之后，以百草门完胜告终，屠尽了程家的高阶修仙者，但当时，百草门的门主一时心软，将陈家灵动期的弟子放过。
Ji Yueyu was left alone in the vast hall, pondering: "Who is this Lin Immortal?"
àn zhào tā de xiǎng fǎ ， zhè xiē gāng tà rù xiū xiān jiè de cài niǎo ， jiù suàn xīn zhōng yǒu hèn ， nán dào hái néng fān qǐ shén me bō làng bù chéng ？
按照他的想法，这些刚踏入修仙界的菜鸟，就算心中有恨，难道还能翻起什么波浪不成？
She decided not to dwell on it and planned to gather more information from Qin's younger sister. She transformed into a streak of lightning and flew away towards the horizon.
biǎo miàn shàng ， zhè yàng de kàn fǎ méi cuò ， dàn shì sú yǒu yī jù huà fàng dào xiū xiān jiè yě tóng yàng shì yòng de ， níng qī lǎo ， mò qī shǎo 。
表面上，这样的看法没错，但世俗有一句话放到修仙界也同样适用的，宁欺老，莫欺少。
With Lin Xuan's request, Ji Yueyu had no choice but to leave quickly. In Tianzhou, Tian Xiaojian had been hiding for months after his involvement in the death of the Flute Bug Immortal made him an enemy of the entire妖族.
qū qū líng dòng qī dì zǐ ， rú jīn què shí bù zhí yī tí ， kě shuí néng xiǎng dào ， wǔ bǎi nián hòu ， tā men zhōng yǒu yī rén ， jū rán jìn jiē dào le yuán yīng hòu qī 。
区区灵动期弟子，如今确实不值一提，可谁能想到，五百年后，他们中有一人，居然进阶到了元婴后期。
Since the disappearance of the Nine-Headed Ancestor and the subsequent easing of the pursuit, he had no intention of returning to Liuyao Palace. The world was full of uncertainty; only strength mattered.
ér xiù èr yí shì yì ， nà shí de bǎi cǎo mén yòu qià hǎo shuāi luò ， zhèng què de shuō ， zǒu dào le qīng huáng bù jiē de yī kè ， yú shì xià chǎng kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
而岫二移世易，那时的百草门又恰好衰落，正确的说，走到了青黄不接的一刻，于是下场可想而知。
Tian Xiaojian's cultivation level frustrated him as he was among the top in his peer group but always fell short against Lin Xuan. Despite their friendly relationship, they were wary of each other. He needed to strengthen himself to avoid any future conflicts with Lin Xuan.
dāng nián de rén cí ， rú jīn què huàn lái le miè mén de cǎn jù ， rú guǒ dāng nián nà wèi bǎi cǎo mén zōng zhǔ xīn hěn yī xiē ， wú lùn rú hé yě bú huì chū xiàn zhè zhǒng shì 。 zì zuò niè ， bù kě huó ， xīn ruǎn ， nà jiù zuì hǎo bù yào tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù 。
当年的仁慈，如今却换来了灭门的惨剧，如果当年那位百草门宗主心狠一些，无论如何也不会出现这种事。自作孽，不可活，心软，那就最好不要踏上修仙之路。
In preparation for this, Tian Xiaojian had planned to retreat to a remote place and focus on cultivation. However, fate had other plans. To evade the pursuit in Xuanyuan City, he had disguised himself as a woman. Unfortunately, his good looks attracted attention from the Fourth Elder of Linyun Valley, an婴后期 cultivator.
zhè jiàn shì qíng shēng yǐ hòu ， suǒ yǒu zōng mén jiā zú ， biǎo miàn shàng bù shuō shén me ， dàn àn dì lǐ què xī xū bù yǐ ， qián shì bù wàng hòu shì zhī shī ， suǒ yǐ zōng mén jiān qīng yì bú huì zhēng dòu ， rán ér yí dàn kāi zhàn ， jiù méi yǒu shǒu xià liú qíng yī shuō ， kěn dìng shì jiāng duì fāng shā gè piàn jiǎ bù liú 。 qiān yǐng zōng cóng luò bài de yī kè ， jié jú jiù zǎo yǐ zhù dìng le 。“ méi yǒu rén táo tuō ？”“ gū mǔ fàng xīn ， yí gè yě méi yǒu 。” bā liǎn dà hàn gōng jìng de shuō ， suí hòu liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chí yí zhī sè ：“ gū mǔ ， nà wèi lín qián bèi …… yǐ jīng zǒu le ？”“ bù cuò 。”
这件事情生以后，所有宗门家族，表面上不说什么，但暗地里却唏嘘不已，前事不忘后事之师，所以宗门间轻易不会争斗，然而一旦开战，就没有手下留情一说，肯定是将对方杀个片甲不留。千影宗从落败的一刻，结局就早已注定了。“没有人逃脱？”“姑母放心，一个也没有。”疤脸大汉恭敬的说，随后脸上露出一丝迟疑之色：“姑母，那位林前辈……已经走了？”“不错。”
The elder intended to use him as a鼎炉, but Tian Xiaojian was not easily defeated. Although he couldn't match the power of an婴后期 cultivator at that time, he used his intelligence and the fake treasure from the Flute Bug Immortal to launch a surprise attack.
“ tā kàn qǐ lái ， sì hū yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé hěn shú ， zhè wèi qián bèi jiū jìng ……”
“他看起来，似乎与天涯海阁很熟，这位前辈究竟……”
With the幽冥碎心剑 and three-colored玄冰火, he successfully killed the old monster. Afterward, Tian Xiaojian calmly collected the elder's crystal stones before leaving.
bā liǎn dà hàn hái méi yǒu shuō wán ， shēng yīn jiù gā rán ér zhǐ ， jī yuè rú de mù guāng bīng lěng wú bǐ ， fǎng fú yào kàn chuān tā de xīn lǐ 。 bā liǎn dà hàn yī jīng ， máng shēn shēn de chuí xià le tóu 。
疤脸大汉还没有说完，声音就嘎然而止，姬月如的目光冰冷无比，仿佛要看穿他的心里。疤脸大汉一惊，忙深深的垂下了头。
Among other treasures, he found an ancient map in the elder's storage bag. The map was incomplete but hinted at a significant secret related to Tianzhou. Despite his limited knowledge of Tianzhou, the events following the Xuanyuan City incident brought back memories of the past.
“ bù gāi wèn de shì kuài shàng ， zuì hǎo bù yào dǎ tīng ， nà wèi lín dào yǒu de cún zài ， bú shì xiǎo xiǎo de jī jiā kě yǐ zhāo rě ， dà gē jì rán jiāng jiā zhǔ zhī wèi chuán yú nǐ ， nǐ zuò shì qíng jiù yīng gāi suì zhòng yī xiē ， bú yào yīn wèi yī shí hào qí ， wèi jiā zú dài lái zāi huò 。”
“不该问的事快上，最好不要打听，那位林道友的存在，不是小小的姬家可以招惹，大哥既然将家主之位传于你，你做事情就应该穗重一些，不要因为一时好奇，为家族带来灾祸。”
Tian Xiaojian arrived at the former location of the Luo family, but he wasn't interested in their main base, which had been thoroughly searched by seven sects a million years ago. Instead, he ventured into the so-called Demon Realm Mountains.
jī yuè rú hòu miàn de huà suī rán méi shuō ， dàn bā liǎn dà hàn yǐ shì lěng hàn lín lí ：“ shì ， gū mǔ ， zhí ér zhī cuò ， yǐ hòu jué bù gǎn zài fàn le 。”
姬月如后面的话虽然没说，但疤脸大汉已是冷汗淋漓：“是，姑母，侄儿知错，以后绝不敢再犯了。”
To an婴后期 cultivator, these mountains posed no danger; the most powerful creatures were only three ranks strong. Tian Xiaojian stood before a valley, his brow furrowed as he wondered why he had found nothing after months of searching.
“ ń ， zhè hái chà bu duō ， lìng wài nǐ chū qù chuán lìng ， jīn tiān kàn jiàn lín dào yǒu de shì qíng ， dì zǐ men zhī zì yě bù xǔ shuō ， shuí gǎn wài zhuàn ， fèi qù xiū wèi ， rán hòu zài àn zú guī lùn chǔ 。” jī yuè rú shén sè níng zhòng de kāi kǒu le 。“ shì ！” bā liǎn hàn zi yě bù yóu de shēn tǐ yī dǒu ， jìng chǔ fá bù kě wèi bù zhòng ， dàn miàn duì gū mǔ ， tā zì rán sī háo yì yì yě bù gǎn yǒu 。“ xíng le ， nǐ tuì xià 。” bā liǎn dà hàn yòu xíng le yī lǐ ， suí hòu cái huǎn huǎn cóng dà diàn zhōng zǒu chū 。 ruò dà de diàn táng zhōng ， biàn zhǐ shèng xià jī yuè rú yī rén le 。“ nà wèi lín dào yǒu ， guǐ jìng shì shuí ne ？” jī yuè rú de liǎn shàng ， tóng yàng mǎn shì hào qí zhī liáng jiǔ 。“ suàn le ， zhī dào cǐ shì yě méi yǒu yì yì ， rú guǒ yǒu jī huì ， zài qù xiàng qín shī mèi páng qiāo cè jī 。” tā róu le róu é tóu ， zì yán zì yǔ de shuō 。
“嗯，这还差不多，另外你出去传令，今天看见林道友的事情，弟子们只字也不许说，谁敢外传，废去修为，然后再按族规论处。”姬月如神色凝重的开口了。“是！”疤脸汉子也不由得身体一抖，迳处罚不可谓不重，但面对姑母，他自然丝毫异议也不敢有。“行了，你退下。”疤脸大汉又行了一礼，随后才缓缓从大殿中走出。偌大的殿堂中，便只剩下姬月如一人了。“那位林道友，宄竟是谁呢？”姬月如的脸上，同样满是好奇之良久。“算了，知道此事也没有意义，如果有机会，再去像秦师妹旁敲侧击。”她揉了揉额头，自言自语的说。

Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, he reached out and tapped his waist. A dazzling green light appeared before him as the jade cylinder materialized. He sank his spirit into it.
Lin Xuan remained focused for a full meal's time before finally lifting his head to hand over the jade cylinder to the woman in formal attire: "This matter is significant; I request that you personally deliver this to your senior master."
"Of course, my lady will remember this and ensure it is done as requested," she replied with a bow.
