rán ér hěn kuài ， zhè zhǒng xī wàng jiù pò miè le ， duì fāng sī háo méi yǒu lí kāi de yì si ， nà gǔ shén shí zài zhōu wéi pái huái bù qù 。
然而很快，这种希望就破灭了，对方丝毫没有离开的意思，那股神识在周围徘徊不去。
However, this hope soon faded. The opponent showed no intention of leaving; that divine consciousness lingered around.
kàn lái yě bù suàn wán quán bào lù ， zhǐ shì yǐn qǐ le duì fāng de huái yí ， lín xuān de zhè fān fēn xī suī rán méi cuò ， kě jiē xià lái gāi zěn me bàn què ràng tā xiàn rù le chí yí 。
看来也不算完全暴露，只是引起了对方的怀疑，林轩的这番分析虽然没错，可接下来该怎么办却让他陷入了迟疑。
It seemed not entirely exposed, but had only aroused the other party's suspicion. Lin Xuan’s analysis was correct, yet what to do next left him uncertain.
zì jǐ dùn guāng de sù dù kě méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ níng dān qī xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， ér qiě yí dàn zhè yàng zuò ， kě jiù yì wèi zhe lì kè bào lù 。
自己遁光的速度可没有办法与凝丹期修士相比，而且一旦这样做，可就意味着立刻暴露。
His speed of evasive light could not compare with a Condensation Core cultivator. Moreover, if he ran, it would mean immediate exposure.
huò zhě ， jì xù qián fú ？
或者，继续潜伏？
Or, continue lurking?
zhè yàng de xuǎn zé shuō hǎo tīng diǎn shì yǐ jìng zhì dòng ， shuō nán tīng diǎn jiù shì tīng tiān yóu mìng le ， dǔ duì fāng huì bú huì fā xiàn zì jǐ ， kě lín xuān zuì tǎo yàn de jiù shì shì qíng bù shòu kòng zhì 。
这样的选择说好听点是以静制动，说难听点就是听天由命了，赌对方会不会发现自己，可林轩最讨厌的就是事情不受控制。
This choice sounded like waiting in ambush but felt like leaving everything to fate. Betting on whether the other party would discover him, Lin Xuan hated situations beyond his control.
rú jīn suàn shì xiàn rù le liǎng nán de jìng dì 。
如今算是陷入了两难的境地。
He found himself caught between two difficult options.
shǎo qǐng ， lín xuān yǎn zhōng de mí máng xiāo shī ， cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū le líng qì ， jīng guò zhèng zhòng kǎo lǜ ， tā hái shì jué de bù néng shǎ hū hū de jì xù dài zài zhè lǐ ， dāng rán ， zhí jiē fēi zǒu yě bù kě qǔ ， shǒu zhōng yī fān ， duō chū le yī zhāng fú 。
少顷，林轩眼中的迷茫消失，从怀中取出了灵器，经过郑重考虑，他还是觉得不能傻乎乎的继续待在这里，当然，直接飞走也不可取，手中一翻，多出了一张符。
After a moment, the迷茫 disappeared from Lin Xuan's eyes as he took out a spiritual artifact from his pocket. After careful consideration, he decided it was not wise to continue staying here foolishly. However, flying away directly was also unwise. With a flick of his hand, a talisman appeared in his palm.
lǐ miàn fēng yìn shì yù fēng shù 。
里面封印是御风术。
Inside this talisman was the technique of Wind Control.
jiǎn dān de jiǎng ， yǒu diǎn lèi sì yú shì sú de jué shì qīng gōng ， shǔ yú rù mén de fǎ shù ， lín xuān yǐ jīng hǎo jiǔ méi yǒu yòng guò 。
简单的讲，有点类似于世俗的绝世轻功，属于入门的法术，林轩已经好久没有用过。
In simple terms, it resembled an ultimate martial art from the secular world, belonging to the basic level of techniques. Lin Xuan hadn't used such low-level techniques for a long time.
dàn dī jiē fǎ shù yě yǒu dī jiē fǎ shù de hǎo chù ， líng lì bō dòng xiǎo ， jiā shàng shì yòng fú qǐ dòng ， bèi fā xiàn de kě néng xìng jiù gèng dī le 。
但低阶法术也有低阶法术的好处，灵力波动小，加上是用符启动，被发现的可能性就更低了。
But there were advantages to low-level techniques; their energy fluctuations were minimal, and since they were activated by talismans, the likelihood of being discovered was lower.
lín xuān shǒu yī huī ， fú wú fēng zì rán ， cóng lǐ miàn fēi chū yī dào jīn sè de fǎ jué mò rù tā de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 。
林轩手一挥，符无风自燃，从里面飞出一道金色的法诀没入他的身体里面。
Lin Xuan waved his hand, and the talisman ignited without wind. A golden technique flew out and entered his body.
líng lì fǎn yìng wēi hū qí wēi ， rán ér lín xuān de liǎn shàng hái lái bù jí lù chū yī sī xiào róng ， jiù gǎn jué dào zài wài miàn pái huái de nà gǔ shén shí suǒ dìng le zì jǐ 。
灵力反应微乎其微，然而林轩的脸上还来不及露出一丝笑容，就感觉到在外面徘徊的那股神识锁定了自己。
The reaction in essence energy was negligible. However, Lin Xuan's face had not yet shown a smile when he felt that divine consciousness outside locked onto him.
kě wù ， hái shì xiǎo kàn le níng dān qī de xiū shì ！
可恶，还是小看了凝丹期的修士！
Damn it, I underestimated Condensation Core cultivators!
lín xuān dà jīng ， zhè shí hòu bù jí xì xiǎng ， hū de yī xià jiù jiāng líng qì jì le qǐ lái ， zhèng zhǔn bèi dùn guāng ér táo 。\\ yí gè shēng yīn què ràng tā de shēn xíng tíng xià le ：“ huāng shén me 。 shì wǒ ！”
林轩大惊，这时候不及细想，呼的一下就将灵器祭了起来，正准备遁光而逃。\\一个声音却让他的身形停下了：“慌什么。是我！”
Lin Xuan was alarmed. Without thinking too much, he immediately activated the spiritual artifact and prepared to escape using his evasive light.
nà shēng yīn qīng cuì dòng tīng ， hái dài zhe yì diǎn diǎn jiāo róu ， lín xuān huí guò tóu ， jiù kàn jiàn yī měi lì dì nǚ zǐ bù zhī hé shí chū xiàn zài le zì jǐ dì shēn hòu 。
那声音清脆动听，还带着一点点娇柔，林轩回过头，就看见一美丽地女子不知何时出现在了自己地身后。
But a voice stopped him: "Hurry what for? It's me!"
zhū yù wèi chún ， shuǐ zuò fū 。 měi lì de xiù fà yǒu rú huī sǎ de pù bù 。
珠玉为唇，水做肤。美丽的秀发有如挥洒的瀑布。
The voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of tenderness. Lin Xuan turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing behind him.
zhè shì yī wèi jué sè de nǚ xiū ， ér qiě shì bù rù níng dān qī de gāo shǒu 。
这是一位绝色的女修，而且是步入凝丹期的高手。
Her lips were like pearls, her skin like water. Her long, beautiful hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
“ ōu yáng xiān zi 。”
“欧阳仙子。”
She was an exceptionally beautiful female cultivator who had entered the Condensation Core stage.
lín xuān zhuǎn jīng wèi xǐ ， ōu yáng qín xīn suī shì bì yún shān dì zhòng yào rén wù 。 dàn què yǔ zì jǐ guān xì fēi qiǎn ， bú huì duì zì jǐ bù lì 。
林轩转惊为喜，欧阳琴心虽是碧云山地重要人物。但却与自己关系非浅，不会对自己不利。
"Ouyang Fairy."
“ hē hē ， méi xiǎng dào shǎo zhǎng mén yě zài zhè lǐ 。”
“呵呵，没想到少掌门也在这里。”
Lin Xuan's surprise turned to joy. Although Ouyang Qinxin was a significant figure in Biyun Mountain, their relationship was not hostile; she would not harm him.
ōu yáng qín xīn de biǎo qíng yì chēn yì xǐ ， sì xiào fēi xiào de dào ：“ zěn me ， lín xuān ， nǐ yě duì tiān chén dān gǎn xìng qù ？”
欧阳琴心的表情亦嗔亦喜，似笑非笑的道：“怎么，林轩，你也对天尘丹感兴趣？”
"Haha, I didn't expect the Young Sect Leader to be here as well," Ouyang Qinxin said with a smile, half teasing and half curious: "Why, Lin Xuan, are you also interested in Heavenly Dust Pill?"
“ ràng xiān zi jiàn xiào le ， wǒ zhǐ shì ǒu rán tīng shuō le tiān shā mó jūn zhī shì ， lái zhè lǐ còu còu rè nào ér yǐ 。 suī rán lín xuān què xìn ōu yáng qín xīn bú huì hài zì jǐ ， dàn rén xīn běn jiù shì zhè ge shì jiè zuì nán cè dì dōng xī 。 suǒ yǐ tā zì rán bú huì jiǎng shí huà 。 zhè fān shuō cí ， bàn zhēn bàn jiǎ 。
“让仙子见笑了，我只是偶然听说了天煞魔君之事，来这里凑凑热闹而已。虽然林轩确信欧阳琴心不会害自己，但人心本就是这个世界最难测地东西。所以他自然不会讲实话。这番说辞，半真半假。
"Let me laugh at that. I only heard about Demon Tyrant Sovereign Tiansha by chance and came here for the fun of it. Although Lin Xuan was certain Ouyang Qinxin wouldn't harm him, human nature is unpredictable in this world. He naturally did not tell the truth; his words were half true.
“ shì ma ？”
“是吗？”
"Is that so?"
ōu yáng qín xīn yě bù fā biǎo kàn fǎ ， zhǐ shì zuǐ jiǎo biān de xiào róng dài zhe yī sī wán wèi a ！
欧阳琴心也不发表看法，只是嘴角边的笑容带着一丝玩味啊！
Ouyang Qinxin didn't express an opinion but a playful smile lingered on her lips.
kàn lái duì fāng shí yǒu ** shì bù xìn le ， dàn zhè biǎo qíng ， yě méi yǒu è yì 。
看来对方十有**是不信了，但这表情，也没有恶意。
It seemed the other party was skeptical, but there was no malice behind it.
“ xiān zi ， wǒ néng qǐng jiào nǐ yī jiàn shì ma ？” liáo le yī huì er ， lín xuān zhōng yú yóu yù zhe kāi kǒu le 。
“仙子，我能请教你一件事吗？”聊了一会儿，林轩终于犹豫着开口了。
"Fairy, could I ask you something?" After chatting for a while, Lin Xuan finally hesitantly spoke up.
“ bù yòng zhè me kè qì ， shuō ba ！”
“不用这么客气，说吧！”
"Never mind. Speak your mind!"
“ xiān zi shì rú hé fā xiàn zài xià de ？” àn lǐ ， yǐn líng dān jiā jiǔ tiān xuán gōng de liǎn qì gōng fǎ 。 yīng gāi méi yǒu shén me pò zhàn cái duì a ！
“仙子是如何发现在下的？”按理，隐灵丹加九天玄功的敛气功法。应该没有什么破绽才对啊！
"How did you discover me?"
“ hē hē 。 qín xīn yě zài qí guài ， shǎo zhǎng mén shì rú hé yǐn cáng zì jǐ de shēn xíng 。 bié de bù gǎn shuō ， zài tóng jiē xiū shì zhōng ， wǒ de shén shí yě suàn chū lèi bá cuì ， ruò fēi gěi nǐ de xìn wù zhōng hán yǒu xiǎo nǚ zǐ de qì xī ， wǒ jī hū dōu bù néng fā xiàn nǐ 。”
“呵呵。琴心也在奇怪，少掌门是如何隐藏自己的身形。别的不敢说，在同阶修士中，我的神识也算出类拔萃，若非给你的信物中含有小女子的气息，我几乎都不能发现你。”
Logically, with Hidden Spirit Pill and Nine Heavens Profound Yin's敛气功法, there should be no flaw, right?
“ xìn wù ？”
“信物？”
"Haha, Qinxin was also curious about how Young Sect Leader concealed his form. In the same rank of cultivators, my divine consciousness is quite outstanding. If not for the faint scent of young lady in your token, I would have almost failed to notice you."
lín xuān xiān shì yī lèng ， rán hòu yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī lǚ bù yǐ chá jué dì yīn mái ， cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū le yí gè yòng yù pèi diāo kè ér chéng dì gǔ qín ：“ shì zhè ge ？”
林轩先是一愣，然后眼中闪过一缕不已察觉地阴霾，从怀中取出了一个用玉佩雕刻而成地古琴：“是这个？”
"Token?"
shàng cì fēn bié shí ， ōu yáng qín xīn jiāng cǐ wù zèng yǔ zì jǐ ， shuō shì ruò yǒu xū yào ， huò shì yù jiàn le shén me nán tí ， kě yǐ píng cǐ wù shàng bì yún shān xiàng tā qiú zhù 。
上次分别时，欧阳琴心将此物赠与自己，说是若有需要，或是遇见了什么难题，可以凭此物上碧云山像她求助。
Lin Xuan was initially stunned but then a hint of unease flashed across his eyes as he took out an ancient zither carved from jade pendants: "Is this it?"
méi xiǎng dào shàng miàn què yǒu tā de qì xī 。
没想到上面却有她的气息。
During their last parting, Ouyang Qinxin had given him this token, saying she could be approached if in need or faced with difficulties.
bù guò lín xuān yě bù gǎn kěn dìng duì fāng shì yǒu yì hái shì wú yì ， yīn wèi hěn duō xiū shì dōu xí guàn zài suí shēn wù jiàn shàng liú xià yī lǚ zì jǐ de qì xī ， zhè yàng diào le yě hǎo zhǎo xún 。
不过林轩也不敢肯定对方是有意还是无意，因为很多修士都习惯在随身物件上留下一缕自己的气息，这样掉了也好找寻。
She hadn't expected her scent to be on it.
hěn yǒu kě néng shì bù jīng yì 。
很有可能是不经意。
However, Lin Xuan couldn't be sure whether it was intentional or unintentional. Many cultivators were accustomed to leaving a trace of their essence on personal items for easy recovery.
lín xuān àn mà zì jǐ cū xīn ， hǎo zài zì jǐ yě méi yǒu shén me sǔn shī ， tā yǐ jīng jué dìng hé ōu yáng qín xīn fēn kāi yǐ hòu ， jiù lì kè dòng shǒu jiāng zhè shàng miàn de qì xī mǒ qù 。
林轩暗骂自己粗心，好在自己也没有什么损失，他已经决定和欧阳琴心分开以后，就立刻动手将这上面的气息抹去。
It might have been an accident.
liǎng rén yòu liáo le yī huì er ， cóng ōu yáng qín xīn de zuǐ lǐ ， lín xuān shèn zhì tīng dào le yī xiē guān yú tiān shā mó jūn de yǐn mì 。
两人又聊了一会儿，从欧阳琴心的嘴里，林轩甚至听到了一些关于天煞魔君的隐秘。
Lin Xuan cursed his carelessness but felt fortunate that he had not suffered any losses. He decided to immediately remove the scent after parting ways with Ouyang Qinxin.
“ hā hā ， xiǎng bú dào dà míng dǐng dǐng de ōu yáng xiān zi ， jū rán zài zhè lǐ tōu tōu hé xiǎo qíng láng yuē huì ！”
“哈哈，想不到大名鼎鼎的欧阳仙子，居然在这里偷偷和小情郎约会！”
They chatted for a while, and from Ouyang Qinxin's lips, Lin Xuan even heard some secrets about Demon Tyrant Sovereign Tiansha.
yī zhèn jīn tiě jiāo míng de guài xiào shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ ， cóng yuǎn chù de tiān biān fēi lái yī duǒ wū yún ， yún zhōng ， kě yǐ kàn jiàn yī dà hàn dì shēn yǐng 。
一阵金铁交鸣的怪笑声传入耳里，从远处的天边飞来一朵乌云，云中，可以看见一大汉地身影。
"Haha, I didn't expect the famous Ouyang Fairy to be secretly meeting her lover here!"
cǐ rén shēn cái kuí wú zhì jí ， rán ér gěi rén yìn xiàng shēn kè dì shì tā de yǎn jīng ， zuǒ yǎn dà ， yòu yǎn xiǎo ， fàn zhe xuè hóng dì guāng máng 。
此人身材魁梧至极，然而给人印象深刻地是他的眼睛，左眼大，右眼小，泛着血红地光芒。
A strange laughter filled with clashing metal echoed in his ears. A black cloud flew over from the distant horizon, and a large man could be seen inside it.
“ chì mù lǎo guài ！” ōu yáng qín xīn liǎn sè yī hán 。
“赤目老怪！”欧阳琴心脸色一寒。
This man was of towering stature, but what left an impression on people were his eyes; one was abnormally large while the other was small, glowing blood-red.
cǐ rén shì lì guǐ bāng yǒu shù de gāo shǒu ， jìn rù níng dān hòu qī de xiū mó zhě 。
此人是厉鬼帮有数的高手，进入凝丹后期的修魔者。
"Red-Eyed Monster!" Ouyang Qinxin's face turned cold.
“ hēng ， rèn shí lǎo fū jiù hǎo ， xiān zi shì shù shǒu jiù qín ne ， hái shì ràng yú mǒu huó dòng yī xià shǒu jiǎo 。” chì mù lǎo guài zì chí xiū wèi jīng shēn ， bú shì yì bān de kuáng ào 。
“哼，认识老夫就好，仙子是束手就擒呢，还是让余某活动一下手脚。”赤目老怪自持修为精深，不是一般的狂傲。
He was one of the few powerful figures in the Liji Ghost Sect, a Condensation Core cultivator who had entered the late stage.
zhèng dào sān pài shí lì suī qiáng ， dàn zhè cì jìn rù kuí yīn shān mài de xiū shì ， chú le nà tài bái jiàn xiān ， méi rén shì zì jǐ de duì shǒu 。
正道三派实力虽强，但这次进入奎阴山脉的修士，除了那太白剑仙，没人是自己的对手。
"Hmph. Knowing me is good; Fairy, are you surrendering or letting this fellow have some fun?" The Red-Eyed Monster boasted about his profound cultivation and was extremely arrogant.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo yǒu xiē fā kǔ ， zì jǐ zhè shì zhāo shuí rě shuí le ， jū rán yù jiàn le mó dào zuì nán chán de yí gè lǎo guài wù 。
林轩嘴角有些发苦，自己这是招谁惹谁了，居然遇见了魔道最难缠的一个老怪物。
The Three Main Sects of orthodox daoism were powerful, but among the cultivators entering Kuinyin Mountain, none except the Tai Bai Sword Immortal could match him.
ōu yáng qín xīn xiū liàn de yīn bō gōng suī rán shì dǐng jiē gōng fǎ ， wēi lì jí dà ， dàn tā běn rén de xiū wèi ， bù guò níng dān chū qī ér yǐ ， bù kě néng pīn dé guò zhè ge chì mù lǎo guài de 。
欧阳琴心修炼的音波功虽然是顶阶功法，威力极大，但她本人的修为，不过凝丹初期而已，不可能拼得过这个赤目老怪的。
Lin Xuan's lips twitched. Who had he offended to meet such a formidable old monster from the魔道?
lín xuān dōu jiāng xíng shì kàn dé zhè me qīng chǔ ， ōu yáng qín xīn de xīn zhōng jiù gèng rú míng jìng shì de ， dàn shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， yòu yǒu shén me xuǎn zé ， tóu xiáng shì bù kě néng de ， dǎ le ！
林轩都将形势看得这么清楚，欧阳琴心的心中就更如明镜似的，但事已至此，又有什么选择，投降是不可能的，打了！
Ouyang Qinxin’s Sound Wave Technique was a top-tier cultivation technique with immense power, but her own rank was only at the early stage of Condensation Core, making it impossible for her to match this Red-Eyed Monster.
sù shǒu huī chū ， yī mǒ xiá guāng téng kōng ér qǐ ， chì mù lǎo guài liǎn sè yī biàn ：“ nǐ xiǎng fā xìn hào ， jiào tóng bàn lái ， xiū xiǎng ！”
素手挥出，一抹霞光腾空而起，赤目老怪脸色一变：“你想发信号，叫同伴来，休想！”
Lin Xuan saw the situation clearly, and Ouyang Qinxin's mind was as clear as a mirror. But what choice did she have? Surrendering was out of the question; they would fight!
rán ér ōu yáng qín xīn de dòng zuò gèng kuài ， yù zhǐ zài huài bào zhe de shù qín shàng yī dàn ， tiān kōng zhōng lì kè chū xiàn liǎo wú shù de guāng rèn 。
然而欧阳琴心的动作更快，玉指在坏抱着的竖琴上一弹，天空中立刻出现了无数的光刃。
With a flick of her delicate hand, a streak of rosy light shot up into the sky. The Red-Eyed Monster’s face changed: "You want to send a signal for your companions to come? Forget it!"
suī rán dān gè de guāng rèn jǐn jǐn suàn shì dī jiē fǎ shù ， dàn jǐ qiān gè hé zài yì qǐ ， shēng shì jiù fēi cháng jīng rén 。
虽然单个的光刃仅仅算是低阶法术，但几千个合在一起，声势就非常惊人。
But Ouyang Qinxin moved faster. With a flick of her jade finger on the vertical zither she held, countless beams of light appeared in the sky.
chì mù lǎo guài níng xiào yī shēng ， shēn xíng dī liū liū de yī zhuǎn ， dài qǐ yī piàn xuè hóng sè de yún cǎi ， pū le guò lái 。
赤目老怪狞笑一声，身形滴溜溜的一转，带起一片血红色的云彩，扑了过来。
Although each beam was merely a low-level technique, when combined, their impact was formidable.
The Red-Eyed Monster sneered and spun around, leaving behind a trail of blood-red clouds as he charged forward.
However, this hope soon faded. The opponent showed no intention of leaving; that divine consciousness lingered around.
It seemed not entirely exposed, but had only aroused the other party's suspicion. Lin Xuan’s analysis was correct, yet what to do next left him uncertain.
Run?
His speed of evasive light could not compare with a Condensation Core cultivator. Moreover, if he ran, it would mean immediate exposure.
Or, continue lurking?
This choice sounded like waiting in ambush but felt like leaving everything to fate. Betting on whether the other party would discover him, Lin Xuan hated situations beyond his control.
He found himself caught between two difficult options.
After a moment, the迷茫 disappeared from Lin Xuan's eyes as he took out a spiritual artifact from his pocket. After careful consideration, he decided it was not wise to continue staying here foolishly. However, flying away directly was also unwise. With a flick of his hand, a talisman appeared in his palm.
Inside this talisman was the technique of Wind Control.

Damn it, I underestimated Condensation Core cultivators!
Lin Xuan was alarmed. Without thinking too much, he immediately activated the spiritual artifact and prepared to escape using his evasive light.
But a voice stopped him: "Hurry what for? It's me!"
The voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of tenderness. Lin Xuan turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing behind him.
Her lips were like pearls, her skin like water. Her long, beautiful hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
She was an exceptionally beautiful female cultivator who had entered the Condensation Core stage.
"Ouyang Fairy."
Lin Xuan's surprise turned to joy. Although Ouyang Qinxin was a significant figure in Biyun Mountain, their relationship was not hostile; she would not harm him.
"Haha, I didn't expect the Young Sect Leader to be here as well," Ouyang Qinxin said with a smile, half teasing and half curious: "Why, Lin Xuan, are you also interested in Heavenly Dust Pill?"
