nán dào chū xiàn le shén me bǎo wù ？
难道出现了什么宝物？
Could there be some precious treasure here?
lín xuān tà zú xiū xiān jiè yě yǒu shù nián zhī jiǔ ， zhī dào bù lùn zhèng dào hái shì mó dào de xiū shì dà dū zì sī zì lì ， shǔ yú wú lì bù zǎo qǐ de nà zhǒng lèi xíng ， ruò fēi yǒu shén me tè bié de hǎo chù ， shuí huì mò míng qí miào de pǎo dào zhè huāng pì zhī dì 。
林轩踏足修仙界也有数年之久，知道不论正道还是魔道的修士大都自私自利，属于无利不早起的那种类型，若非有什么特别的好处，谁会莫名其妙的跑到这荒僻之地。
Lin Xuan had been in the cultivation world for several years, and he knew that both Daoists and魔道 cultivators were generally selfish. They only got up early if they saw a benefit. Unless there was something special to gain, who would venture into this remote area.
lí kāi hái shì gēn qù kàn kàn ？
离开还是跟去看看？
Should he leave or go take a look?
lín xuān liǎn shàng xiàn chū chóu chú zhī sè ， jiù zài zhè shí ， yòu yī dào huī sè de guāng huá fēi xiàng le zhè lǐ ， lín xuān shén shí sǎo yī xià 。
林轩脸上现出踌躇之色，就在这时，又一道灰色的光华飞向了这里，林轩神识扫一下。
Lin Xuan's face showed hesitation as another streak of gray light flew towards the place. He scanned with his divine sense.
zhù jī chū qī ， ér qiě cóng suǒ tā suǒ sàn fà chū lái de lì qì kàn ， yīng gāi shì xiū mó zhě wú yí 。
筑基初期，而且从所他所散发出来的戾气看，应该是修魔者无疑。
It was at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment and from the aura it emitted, it was undoubtedly a魔道 cultivator.
lín xuān lì kè huà wèi yī dào dùn guāng ， xiàng tā fēi le guò qù 。
林轩立刻化为一道遁光，像他飞了过去。
Instantly, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of遁光 and headed over.
huī sè de guāng huá dùn le yī xià ， lì kè guǎi wān xiǎng yào rào kāi ， hǎo bù róng yì cái děng lái zhè me yí gè shí lì bù gāo de zhī qíng zhě ， lín xuān rú hé huì ràng tā liū diào ， yào zhī dào qián miàn lù guò de nà xiē xiū shì ， bú shì jìn rù le níng dān qī ， jiù shì chéng qún jié duì 。
灰色的光华顿了一下，立刻拐弯想要绕开，好不容易才等来这么一个实力不高的知情者，林轩如何会让他溜掉，要知道前面路过的那些修士，不是进入了凝丹期，就是成群结队。
The gray light paused for a moment, then turned to avoid him. It had been hard enough to find such an unassuming informant with low power. How could Lin Xuan let this one slip away? After all, the cultivators he passed by were either at the Condensation Core stage or in groups.
nà guāng huá jiē lián chōng le jǐ cì ， dōu bèi lín xuān qīng yì lán le xià lái ， zhōng yú guāng huá yī liǎn ， cóng lǐ miàn xiàn chū le yí gè tóu fà huī bái de lǎo zhě ：“ zhè wèi dào yǒu ， wèi hé lán zhù xiǎo lǎo ér de qù lù 。”
那光华接连冲了几次，都被林轩轻易拦了下来，终于光华一敛，从里面现出了一个头发灰白的老者：“这位道友，为何拦住小老儿的去路。”
Several times, the streak of light tried to rush past but was easily stopped by Lin Xuan. Finally, the light condensed and revealed an old man with gray hair: "Mister Daoist, why are you blocking my path?"
tā yě kàn chū lín xuān xiū wèi yuǎn shèng yú jǐ ， gù ér méi yǒu dòng shǒu ， zhè dào shěng diào zì jǐ bù shǎo shì le 。 hǎo yí gè shí qù de xiū mó zhě ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū hé shàn zhī sè ， kāi mén jiàn shān de shuō ：“ wǒ zuó wǎn zài zhè ér xiē xī ， jiē lián kàn jiàn hǎo duō dào yǒu xiàng dōng nán fāng xiàng fēi qù ， qǐng wèn nà lǐ kě shì chū shén me shì le ？”
他也看出林轩修为远胜于己，故而没有动手，这倒省掉自己不少事了。好一个识趣的修魔者，林轩脸上露出和善之色，开门见山的说：“我昨晚在这儿歇息，接连看见好多道友像东南方向飞去，请问那里可是出什么事了？”
He could tell that Lin Xuan's cultivation far surpassed his own, so he didn't make a move. This saved him a lot of trouble. A perceptive魔道 cultivator indeed, Lin Xuan's face showed kindness as he got straight to the point: "I rested here last night and saw many fellow Daoists flying towards the southeast direction. Could something be happening there?"
“ zhè ……” lǎo zhě xiǎn de yǒu xiē chóu chú 。
“这……”老者显得有些踌躇。
"Um..." The old man seemed hesitant.
“ zěn me ， bù yuàn yì gào sù wǒ ？” lín xuān de biǎo qíng chén le xià qù ， shēn shàng de yī shān wú fēng ér dòng ， liē liē zuò xiǎng ， gǎn shòu dào páng dà de yā lì ， lǎo zhě yī jīng ， yǎn qián de shào nián nǎi shì zhù jī zhōng qī ， jǐn jǐn bǐ zì jǐ gāo le yí gè céng cì ， zěn me huì yǒu zhè me qiáng dà de líng lì wēi yā ， nán dào tā xiū liàn de shì dǐng jiē gōng fǎ ？
“怎么，不愿意告诉我？”林轩的表情沉了下去，身上的衣衫无风而动，咧咧作响，感受到庞大的压力，老者一惊，眼前的少年乃是筑基中期，仅仅比自己高了一个层次，怎么会有这么强大的灵力威压，难道他修炼的是顶阶功法？
"Do you not want to tell me?" Lin Xuan's expression darkened. His clothes rustled without wind, a sign of the immense pressure he was feeling. The old man gasped; before him was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, just one level above himself. How could he have such powerful spiritual energy? Could it be that his cultivation technique was at the top tier?
“ dào yǒu bù kě wù huì ， xiǎo lǎo ér zhǐ shì zài sī liáng gāi cóng hé shuō qǐ 。” lǎo zhě lián máng péi xiào qǐ lái 。 suǒ wèi shí shí wù zhě wéi jùn jié ， gǎn shòu dào lín xuān de qiáng dà shí lì ， tā lì kè duàn le sā huǎng huò zhě yǐn mán de niàn tou ， yuán yīn wú tā ， rú guǒ rě nǎo le duì fāng ， zhí jiē dòng shǒu jiāng zì jǐ zhǐ zhù ， shī yǐ qiáng xíng dú qǔ jì yì de shōu hún **， nà cái shì jìng jiǔ bù chī chī fá jiǔ a ！
“道友不可误会，小老儿只是在思量该从何说起。”老者连忙陪笑起来。所谓识时务者为俊杰，感受到林轩的强大实力，他立刻断了撒谎或者隐瞒的念头，原因无他，如果惹恼了对方，直接动手将自己止住，施以强行读取记忆的收魂**，那才是敬酒不吃吃罚酒啊！
"Friend Daoist, do not misunderstand. I am merely considering how to start," the old man quickly smiled. Perceptive ones are wise; feeling Lin Xuan's strength, he immediately gave up on lying or hiding. If he angered the other party and they attacked him with a Soul Sealing technique to forcibly read his memories, that would be like refusing an offer of wine only to drink a punishment.
“ zuì jìn wǒ men yōu zhōu dì xiū zhēn jiè què shí fā shēng le yī jiàn dà shì 。”
“最近我们幽州地修真界确实发生了一件大事。”
"Recently, our Yanzhou cultivation world indeed faced a significant event."
“ dà shì ？”
“大事？”
"A big deal?"
“ shì de 。 bù zhī dào yǒu yǒu méi yǒu tīng shuō guò tiān shā mó jūn de míng zì ？”
“是的。不知道友有没有听说过天煞魔君的名字？”
"Yes. Have you heard of the name Tiansha Demon Lord?"
“ tiān shā mó jūn ？” lín xuān zhòu le zhòu méi ， lüè yǒu diǎn gān gà de dào ：“ wǒ yì zhí zài shēn shān zhōng xiū liàn 。\\\\\\ hěn shǎo guò wèn shì shì ， gù ér zhēn méi yǒu tīng shuō guò zhè wèi mó jūn de míng zì ， zěn me 。 tā hěn yǒu míng ma ？”
“天煞魔君？”林轩皱了皱眉，略有点尴尬的道：“我一直在深山中修炼。\\\\\\很少过问世事，故而真没有听说过这位魔君的名字，怎么。他很有名吗？”
"Tiansha Demon Lord?" Lin Xuan frowned and awkwardly replied: "I have been deep in the mountains for my cultivation. I rarely get involved in worldly affairs, so I truly haven't heard this Demon Lord's name before. Why is he famous?"
“ ń ， què shí dà míng dǐng dǐng 。” lǎo zhě péi zhe xiǎo xīn ：“ dào yǒu zhī dào ， wǒ men xiū mó zhě de gōng fǎ nǎi shì lìng pì xī jìng ， qián qī xiū liàn jiào kuài ， shèn zhì zhù jī yě bǐ nǐ men xiū zhēn zhě róng yì ， rán ér tiān dào xún huán ， dào le hòu miàn ， què biàn dé yuè jiā de jiān nán 。”
“嗯，确实大名鼎鼎。”老者陪着小心：“道友知道，我们修魔者的功法乃是另辟蹊径，前期修炼较快，甚至筑基也比你们修真者容易，然而天道循环，到了后面，却变得越加的艰难。”
"Yes, indeed a renowned figure," the old man carefully said. "You see, our魔道 cultivators' techniques are unconventional paths. They progress quickly at first, even making Foundation Establishment easier than for Daoists. However, as one ascends to higher stages, it becomes increasingly difficult."
“ zhè nǐ bù shuō wǒ yě qīng chǔ 。” lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， dào ：“ jiǎng zhòng diǎn 。”
“这你不说我也清楚。”林轩摆了摆手，道：“讲重点。”
"I understand that without you saying so." Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "Get to the point."
“ hē hē ， dào yǒu bié huāng 。 jì rán xiǎng zhī dào shì qíng de yuán wěi ， jiù dé tīng xiǎo lǎo ér màn màn dì dào lái 。”
“呵呵，道友别慌。既然想知道事情的原委，就得听小老儿慢慢地道来。”
"Haha, don't worry, friend Daoist. If you want to know the details, I must tell you step by step."
lín xuān wú yǔ ， bù zhī dào duì fāng shì tiān xìng suo hái shì gù yì rú cǐ ， dàn yě zhǐ hǎo nài zhe xìng zi tīng tā jiǎng xià qù 。
林轩无语，不知道对方是天性嗦还是故意如此，但也只好耐着性子听他讲下去。
Lin Xuan remained silent, unsure if the old man was naturally verbose or deliberately so, but he had no choice but to listen patiently.
“ gù ér zài yōu zhōu ， zhù jī de xiū mó zhě hěn duō ， kě níng dān chéng gōng dì què méi yǒu jǐ gè ， zhì yú yuán yīng qī de ， nà jiù gèng shì fèng máo lín jiǎo le ……”
“故而在幽州，筑基的修魔者很多，可凝丹成功地却没有几个，至于元婴期的，那就更是凤毛麟角了……”
"So in Yanzhou, there are many Foundation Establishment stage魔道 cultivators, yet few succeed at Condensation Core. As for元婴期 cultivators, they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns..."
“ děng děng ， nǐ shuō de nà ge shén me tiān shā mó jūn gāi bú huì shì yuán yīng qī dì lǎo guài wù ba ！”
“等等，你说的那个什么天煞魔君该不会是元婴期地老怪物吧！”
"Wait, you mentioned that Tiansha Demon Lord. Could he be an old monster at the元婴期?"
“ hē hē ， dāng rán bú shì 。 jù xiǎo lǎo ér suǒ zhī ， wǒ men yōu zhōu yuán yīng qī de xiū mó zhě zhǐ yǒu jí è mó zūn yī wèi ér yǐ ， dàn zhè wèi tiān shā zhēn jūn yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， bèi yù wéi zuì yǒu kě néng jìn rù yuán yīng qī de xiū mó zhě ， tā rú jīn shì níng dān qī dà yuán mǎn de xiū wèi le 。”
“呵呵，当然不是。据小老儿所知，我们幽州元婴期的修魔者只有极恶魔尊一位而已，但这位天煞真君也非同小可，被誉为最有可能进入元婴期的修魔者，他如今是凝丹期大圆满的修为了。”
"Haha, of course not. According to what I know, there is only one元婴期魔道 cultivator in Yanzhou—Evil Sovereign. However, this Tiansha True Monarch is no ordinary figure; he is hailed as the most likely candidate to enter the元婴期 stage. He has reached the peak of Condensation Core cultivation."
“ ń 。” lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， zài tōng cháng qíng kuàng xià ， tóng yī jìng jiè de xiū mó zhě de shí lì yào bǐ xiū zhēn zhě gèng shèng yī chóu ， zhè wèi tiān shā zhēn jūn jì rán jìn rù le jiǎ yīng de jiē duàn 。 nà què shí shì kě yǐ héng zhe zǒu de cún zài le 。 xiāng xìn jiù suàn shì pèng shàng sān jù tóu lǐ de jǐ wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， yī duì yī de qíng kuàng xià 。 dǎ bù yíng ， táo zǒu què yě shì méi yǒu wèn tí dì 。
“嗯。”林轩点点头，在通常情况下，同一境界的修魔者的实力要比修真者更胜一筹，这位天煞真君既然进入了假婴的阶段。那确实是可以横着走的存在了。相信就算是碰上三巨头里的几位太上长老，一对一的情况下。打不赢，逃走却也是没有问题地。
"Hmm." Lin Xuan nodded. In general,魔道 cultivators at the same level were stronger than Daoists. Since this Tiansha True Monarch had entered the false infant stage, he was indeed a formidable existence. Even if he faced one of the Three Great Sages' top elders in a one-on-one battle, he might lose but could certainly escape.
“ nán dào zhè me duō rén lái cǐ shì yǔ nà wèi mó jūn yǒu guān ma ？” lín xuān hái shì gǎn dào yǒu diǎn qí guài ， yuán yīn wú tā ， ruò jǐn jǐn shì xiū zhēn zhě dà jǔ chū dòng huán qíng yǒu kě yuán ， bì jìng nà wèi mó jūn shì jí yǒu kě néng jìn rù yuán yīng qī de cún zài ， xiū zhēn zhě men wèi le zì jǐ de lì yì kǎo liáng ， jí yǒu kě néng dǎ zhe chú mó wèi dào de qí hào ， jiāng nà wèi mó jūn miè le ， fǒu zé xiū mó zhě zhōng duō yī wèi yuán yīng qī de guài wù ， duì yǐ sān jù tóu wéi shǒu de zhèng dào ér yán ， shí zài bú shì shén me zhí de qìng xìng de hǎo xiāo xī 。
“难道这么多人来此是与那位魔君有关吗？”林轩还是感到有点奇怪，原因无他，若仅仅是修真者大举出动还情有可原，毕竟那位魔君是极有可能进入元婴期的存在，修真者们为了自己的利益考量，极有可能打着除魔卫道的旗号，将那位魔君灭了，否则修魔者中多一位元婴期的怪物，对以三巨头为首的正道而言，实在不是什么值得庆幸的好消息。
"Could so many people have come here because of that Demon Lord?" Lin Xuan still found it strange. If only Daoists were involved, it would be understandable as the Demon Lord was likely to enter the元婴期 stage. To protect their interests, Daoists might use the guise of upholding righteousness and eliminate him. Otherwise, having another元婴期 monster in the魔道 world wouldn't bode well for the Three Great Sages-led orthodox faction.
kě xiū mó zhě yě lái le nà me duō rén ， nán dào shì jiàn zhèng dào xīn huái bù guǐ ， xiǎng yào tì mó jūn zhù quán ， bù …… bú duì ， jiǎ rú tā men zhēn yǒu cǐ yì ， zhǐ yào ràng mó jūn dài zài tiān mó chéng lǐ jiù kě yǐ le ， suī rán yōu zhōu de shì lì xiū zhēn zhě yào qiáng dà yī xiē ， dàn yě bù gǎn míng mù zhāng dǎn de gōng dǎ xiū mó zhě de shèng dì 。
可修魔者也来了那么多人，难道是见正道心怀不轨，想要替魔君助拳，不……不对，假如他们真有此意，只要让魔君待在天魔城里就可以了，虽然幽州的势力修真者要强大一些，但也不敢明目张胆的攻打修魔者的圣地。
But if so many魔道 cultivators also came here, could it be that they sensed the orthodox faction's intentions to aid the Demon Lord? No... That didn't make sense. If they truly had such intentions, they would just keep the Demon Lord in Heaven Demon City; although Yanzhou's Daoist forces were stronger, they wouldn't dare openly attack the魔道圣地.
zhè wèi mó jūn shí yǒu ** bìng bù shǔ yú mó dào dì sān dà shì lì ， sàn xiū de kě néng xìng fǎn ér yào dà yī xiē ， rú guǒ zhēn shì nà yàng de huà ， yǐ xiū mó zhě zì sī zì lì de xìng gé ， suī rán bù mǎn zhèng dào de xíng wéi ， què yě jué bú huì chū shǒu wèi tiān shā mó jūn zhù quán de ， jì rán rú cǐ ， tā men yě lái zhè lǐ gàn shén me ？
这位魔君十有**并不属于魔道地三大势力，散修的可能性反而要大一些，如果真是那样的话，以修魔者自私自利的性格，虽然不满正道的行为，却也绝不会出手为天煞魔君助拳的，既然如此，他们也来这里干什么？
This Demon Lord was almost certainly not part of the three major魔道 factions and more likely a wandering cultivator. Given their selfish nature, even if they disapproved of the orthodox faction's actions, they would never help Tiansha Demon Lord. If that were the case, why had so many people come here?
lín xuān yī biān tīng ， yī biān zài xīn lǐ fēn xī ， kě què qiān tóu wàn xù ， lǐ bù chū tóu xù 。
林轩一边听，一边在心里分析，可却千头万绪，理不出头绪。
While listening, Lin Xuan analyzed in his mind but found it confusing.
lǎo zhě zài jiǎng shù de tóng shí ， yě zài tōu tōu dǎ liàng lín xuān de liǎn sè ， kě xī ràng tā shī wàng le ， yǐ lín xuān dì chéng fǔ ， bù lùn xīn zhōng shì zěn me xiǎng dì ， yòu qǐ huì zài liǎn shàng biǎo xiàn chū lái ， yī rán shì lěng jùn de shén sè ：“ kuài shuō ！”
老者在讲述的同时，也在偷偷打量林轩的脸色，可惜让他失望了，以林轩地城府，不论心中是怎么想地，又岂会在脸上表现出来，依然是冷峻的神色：“快说！”
The old man was narrating while secretly observing Lin Xuan's expression. Unfortunately for him, he was disappointed; with Lin Xuan's deep understanding and composure, any thoughts would not show on his face. His expression remained cold: "Speak quickly!"
“ shì ， shì ！”
“是，是！”
"Yes, yes!"
bù zhī bù jué ， duì zhè ge xīn jī shēn chén dì nián qīng rén ， lǎo zhě yǐ duō le yī sī jìng wèi zhī xīn ， tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ chún ， gān xiào zhe dào ：“ nín bù zhī dào tiān shā mó jūn ， dàn xiǎng bì yīng gāi tīng shuō guò líng yào shān de dà míng 。”
不知不觉，对这个心机深沉地年轻人，老者已多了一丝敬畏之心，舔了舔嘴唇，干笑着道：“您不知道天煞魔君，但想必应该听说过灵药山的大名。”
Without realizing it, the old man already had a bit of respect for this cunning young man as he licked his lips and chuckled: "You may not know Tiansha Demon Lord, but you must have heard of Spirit Medicine Mountain."
“ shén me ， líng yào shān ？” zhè yī cì lín xuān shì zhēn de chī jīng le ， cǐ shì zhè me yòu yǔ běn mén chě shàng le guān xì 。
“什么，灵药山？”这一次林轩是真的吃惊了，此事这么又与本门扯上了关系。
"What? Spirit Medicine Mountain?" This time, Lin Xuan was genuinely surprised. This matter seemed to be connected to their sect.
tā de xīn tiào dé kuài le qǐ lái ， dào bú shì yīn wèi dān xīn mén pài de ān wēi ， ér shì yǐn yǐn jué de ， zhè liǎng tiān suǒ yù jiàn de yī xì liè shì qíng ， kǒng pà zhēn de hěn bù xún cháng ， yǒu dà shì jí jiāng fā shēng 。
他的心跳得快了起来，倒不是因为担心门派的安危，而是隐隐觉得，这两天所遇见的一系列事情，恐怕真的很不寻常，有大事即将发生。
His heart raced, not because of concern for the sect's safety, but because he felt that the series of events over these two days were very unusual and hinted at a significant event about to unfold.
Could there be some precious treasure here?
Lin Xuan had been in the cultivation world for several years, and he knew that both Daoists and魔道 cultivators were generally selfish. They only got up early if they saw a benefit. Unless there was something special to gain, who would venture into this remote area.
