第一千八百四十六章祖孙

Chapter 1846: Grandfather and Grandson

xiǎo bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， rèn zhǔ yí shì wán mǎn jié shù 。

xiǎo半个时辰以后，认主仪式完满结束。

After about half an hour, the soul binding ritual was completed satisfactorily.

xiǎo jiā huo suī rán bù qíng bù yuàn de ， dàn zài bá yá de wēi xié xià ， zuì zhōng hái shì méi yǒu shuǎ huā zhāo 。

xiǎo家伙虽然不情不愿的，但在拔牙的威胁下，最终还是没有耍huā招。

Although the creature was reluctant, it eventually didn't try to play tricks under the threat of having its teeth pulled out.

bié kàn tā bú huì shuō huà ， dàn zhì shāng bìng bù bǐ rén dī ， zì rán dǒng de gē bó níng bù guò dà tuǐ de dào lǐ 。

别看牠不会说话，但智商并不比人低，自然懂得胳膊拧不过大tuǐ的道理。

Don’t be fooled by its inability to speak; its intelligence wasn't lower than that of humans. It naturally understood that one couldn't defy a bigger leg.

jì rán fǎn kàng méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， nà bù rú xuǎn zé qū fú ， zhì shǎo kě yǐ shǎo chī xǔ duō kǔ tóu de 。

既然反抗没有用处，那不如选择屈服，至少可以少吃许多苦头的。

Since resistance was futile, it might as well choose submission and avoid many hardships.

lín xuān de biǎo qíng shí fēn mǎn yì ， rèn zhǔ jié shù hòu jiāng xiǎo jiā huo pěng zài shǒu xīn lǐ 。

林轩的表情十分满意，认主结束后将xiǎo家伙捧在手心里。

Lin Xuan's expression was quite satisfied. After the soul binding ritual, he held the creature in his palm.

xì xì duān xiáng ， hái bié shuō ， zhè jiā huo zhǎng dé huá jī ér kě ài 。

细细端详，还别说，这家伙长得滑稽而可爱。

Upon close inspection, Lin Xuan found that this thing indeed looked comical yet adorable.

“ yǐ hòu gēn zhe wǒ ， huì nǐ chī xiāng de hē là de 。”

“以后跟着我，会你吃香的喝辣的。”

"From now on, you'll have a good life with me."

lín xuān yī biān shuō ， yī biān mō le mōxiǎo dōng xī de tóu ：“ yǐ hòu jiù jiào nǐ xiǎomáo qiú 。”

林轩一边说，一边mō了mōxiǎo东西的头：“以后就叫你xiǎomáo球。”

Lin Xuan stroked its head as he spoke: "You will be called Xiao Mao Ball from now on."

“ jiū jiū 。”

“啾啾。”

"Chiao chiao."

xiǎo jiā huo xiǎn rán bìng bù yuàn yì ， bù guò zài rèn zhǔ xuè qì de shù fù xià ， shì bù kě néng fǎn kàng zhǔ rén dì 。

xiǎo家伙显然并不愿意，不过在认主血契的束缚下，是不可能反抗主人地。

The creature clearly didn't want to comply. However, under the constraints of the soul binding blood contract, it couldn’t defy its master.

bù guò tā què zhuǎn guò shēn qù ， liǎng zhǐ xiǎo zhuǎ zi bào zhe xiōng kǒu ， yǎn jīng wēi mī ，xiǎo zuǐ bā juē qǐ ， duì lín xuān bǎi chū yī fù ài lǐ bù lǐ de tài dù 。

不过牠却转过身去，两只xiǎo爪子抱着xiōng口，眼睛微眯，xiǎo嘴巴噘起，对林轩摆出一副爱理不理的态度。

But it turned around, holding its chest with two small claws while narrowing its eyes and pouting, adopting an indifferent attitude toward Lin Xuan.

“ jū rán bǐ shì wǒ ？”

“居然鄙视我？”

"Even despising me?"

lín xuān kū xiào bù dé ， bù guò zì rán bú huì gēn zhè xiǎo jiā huo shēng qì ， bì jìng tā xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zhè cì jiāng líng chǒng shōu fú ， kě shì wēi bī jiā lì yòu， duì fāng dāng rán bù kě néng xīn fú kǒu fú 。

林轩哭笑不得，不过自然不会跟这xiǎo家伙生气，毕竟他心中有数，这次将灵宠收服，可是威bī加利yòu，对方当然不可能心服口服。

Lin Xuan was at a loss—laughing or crying. However, he naturally wouldn't get angry at this creature; after all, he knew that subduing the spirit pet would be a show of power to the other party, and they certainly couldn’t submit willingly.

bù guò méi yǒu guān xì ， zhè dì yī yìn xiàng zǒng shì kě yǐ gǎi biàn dì ， lín xuān xiāng xìn zhāo xī xiāng chǔ ，xiǎomáo qiú zǒng yǒu guī xīn yī tiān de 。

不过没有关系，这第一印象总是可以改变地，林轩相信朝夕相处，xiǎomáo球总有归心一天的。

But it didn't matter. First impressions could always change. Lin Xuan believed that Xiao Mao Ball would eventually return to his side through constant companionship.

zhè xū yào suì yuè de mó lì ， jí yě shì jí bù lái dì 。

这需要岁月的磨砺，急也是急不来地。

This required time, which couldn't be rushed.

zǒng zhī zhè ge jié guǒ ， yǐ jīng ràng lín xuān shí fēn mǎn yì ， suí hòu tā yě méi yǒu xīn qíng zài zhè huāng pì de xiǎo dǎo shàng jì xù dān gē ， suī rán cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tài yáng yǐ jīng là xià le shān pō ， hēi yè jiàng lín dà dì ， bù guò duì yú xiū xiān zhě ， bái tiān hái shì wǎn shàng gǎn lù ， duì yú tā men lái shuō ， shì fēn háo qū bié yě wú 。

总之这个结果，已经让林轩十分满意，随后他也没有心情在这荒僻的xiǎo岛上继续耽搁，虽然此时此刻，太阳已经落下了山坡，黑夜降临大地，不过对于修仙者，白天还是晚上赶路，对于他们来说，是分毫区别也无。

In any case, this result was already more than satisfactory for Lin Xuan. He had no mood to linger on the remote island after that. Although the sun had set and night had fallen, it made no difference to cultivators whether they traveled by day or night; there was no distinction in their eyes.

bù guò zài lí kāi yǐ qián ， hái yǒu yī jiàn shì qíng xū yào chǔ lǐ 。

不过在离开以前，还有一件事情需要处理。

However, before leaving, he still needed to deal with something.

bèi xiǎo jiā huo miè shā de gǔ shòu ， shī tǐ yī jiù jìng jìng zài hǎi miàn shàng piāo fú ， yào zhī dào ， nà kě shì shí lì bī jìn dòng xuán de guài wù ， bù lùn pí máo gǔ gé ， jià zhí dōu shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān suī rán shēn jiā fēng hòu ， dàn zhè zhǒng děng jí de bǎo wù ，làng fèi shì huì zāo tiān qiǎn de 。

被xiǎo家伙灭杀的古兽，尸体依旧静静在海面上漂浮，要知道，那可是实力bī近dòng玄的怪物，不论皮máo骨骼，价值都是非同xiǎo可，林轩虽然身家丰厚，但这种等级的宝物，làng费是会遭天谴的。

The ancient beast killed by Xiao Mao Ball's descendants was still floating on the sea surface. Knowing that this creature was a powerful monster near the realm of dao, its hide, bones, and other parts were invaluable treasures. Although Lin Xuan was wealthy, wasting such grade treasure would bring divine retribution.

rán ér fēi jìn yǐ hòu ， lín xuān què méi tou yí zhòu ， jū rán yǐ yǒu rén jié zú xiān dēng le ， qiě hái bù zhǐ yī huǒ ， dǎ dòu shēng zhèng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu yào yǎn de guāng huá shǎn dòng 。

然而飞近以后，林轩却眉头一皱，居然已有人捷足先登了，且还不止一伙，打斗声正不停的传入耳朵，隐隐还有耀眼的光华闪动。

However, as he approached, Lin Xuan frowned; someone had already beaten him to it, and there weren't just one group but several. The sounds of battle continued, with flashes of light occasionally appearing in the air.

liǎng qún xiū shì zhèng zài nà lǐ jī liè de huǒ bìng zhe 。

两群修士正在那里jī烈的火并着。

Two groups of cultivators were fiercely fighting each other.

lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng chū ， xiǎng kàn kàn shuāng fāng de shí lì rú hé 。

林轩叹了口气，将强大以极的神识放出，想看看双方的实力如何。

Lin Xuan sighed and released his immensely powerful divine sense to see their strength levels.

zhè yī kàn què yǒu xiē kū xiào bù dé 。

这一看却有些哭笑不得。

What he saw was somewhat amusing.

shuāng fāng de shí lì ， bù néng shuō ruò ， dàn zài tā de yǎn lǐ ， zhe shí bù zhí yī tí 。

双方的实力，不能说弱，但在他的眼里，着实不值一提。

Both sides had formidable cultivators, but they were merely at the initial stage of the yuanxian realm. The rest were condensation core cultivators, each using their treasures to fight desperately.

gè yǒu yī míng yuán yīng jí bié de xiū shì ， dàn dōu jǐn shì chū qī bà le ， shèng xià zhī rén ， zé shì níng dān jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， zhèng gè zì jì chū zì jǐ de bǎo wù ， zài nà lǐ pīn mìng de è dòu zhe 。

各有一名元婴级别的修士，但都仅是初期罢了，剩下之人，则是凝丹级别的修仙者，正各自祭出自己的宝物，在那里拼命的恶斗着。

While their cultivation levels were similar, the number of participants differed greatly.

cóng xiū wèi lái shuō chà bu duō ， dàn rén shù jiù bù yí yàng le 。

从修为来说差不多，但人数就不一样了。

One side only had two people; one was an old man with a sunken face, appearing over seventy, and the other was a young woman in her twenties, with snow-white skin and a pleasing appearance. They seemed to be related by blood, perhaps a grandfather-granddaughter pair.

yī biān jǐn yǒu liǎng rén ér yǐ ， qí zhōng yí gè ， nǎi shì miàn róng kū jiāo de lǎo zhě ， kàn shàng qù qī lǎo bā shí ， lìng wài yí gè ， zé shì miào líng shǎo nv， kàn shàng qù bù guò èr shí chū tóu nián jì ， jī fū xuě bái rú yù， róng mào pǒ wèi tǎo xǐ 。

一边仅有两人而已，其中一个，乃是面容枯焦的老者，看上去七老八十，另外一个，则是妙龄少nv，看上去不过二十出头年纪，肌肤雪白如yù，容貌颇为讨喜。

The other group of cultivators numbered five, dressed strikingly. They wore golden robes, each adorned with different patterns that emitted a faint spiritual glow.

kàn yàng zi ， yīng gāi yǒu xuè mài de lián xì ， sì hū shì yī duì zǔ sūn de yàng zi 。

看样子，应该有血脉的联系，似乎是一对祖孙的样子。

Clearly, they were all from the same sect, and one was an initial yuanxian cultivator while the others ranged from early to late condensation core stages.

ér lìng wài yī biān de xiū xiān zhě ， zé zú yǒu wǔ rén zhī duō ， dǎ bàn pǒ wèi duó mù ， tā men chuān zhe jīn sè de yī fú ， biǎo miàn xiù de tú àn gè bù xiāng tóng ， dàn dōu yǒu yíng yíng de líng guāng bó fā ér chū 。

而另外一边的修仙者，则足有五人之多，打扮颇为夺目，他们穿着金sè的衣服，表面绣的图案各不相同，但都有盈盈的灵光勃发而出。

Fighting against such odds, it was no wonder the grandfather-granddaughter duo was at a disadvantage.

xiǎn rán shì yī zhǒng fǎ qì ， ér qiě shì yóu tóng yī gè mén pài liàn zhì dì 。

显然是一种法器，而且是由同一个mén派炼制地。

However, this had nothing to do with Lin Xuan. He only came here to retrieve the materials of his spirit beast; he wouldn't care about who won or lost in those young cultivators' battles.

wǔ rén zhōng ， yě shì yī míng yuán yīng jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， qí yú sì gè ， zé gè bù xiāng tóng ， cóng níng dān chū qī ， dào níng dān qī dà chéng de dōu yǒu 。

五人中，也是一名元婴级别的修仙者，其余四个，则各不相同，从凝丹初期，到凝丹期大成的都有。

When it didn’t concern him, he would stay aloof. The coldness of human relations in the cultivation world was well known. Despite the young woman’s good looks, Lin Xuan wouldn’t save her; he wasn’t a greenhorn anymore.

yǐ guǎ dí zhòng ， nán guài nà zǔ sūn èr rén huì dà chù xià fēng 。

以寡敌众，难怪那祖孙二人会大处下风。

Raging for a pretty face was not uncommon in the cultivation world, but it had to be for one's true love. Meeting someone by chance and acting like they were in love? That was just silly. Even seasoned cultivators wouldn't do such things.

bù guò zhè yǔ lín xuān méi shén me guān xì ， tā dào zhè lǐ ， zhǐ shì qǔ huí shǔ yú zì jǐ de yāo shòu cái liào ér yǐ ， zhì yú nà xiē xiǎo xiū shì jiān de pīn dòu ， shuí shèng shuí fù ， lín xuān gēn běn jiù bú huì guān xīn shén me 。

不过这与林轩没什么关系，他到这里，只是取回属于自己的妖兽材料而已，至于那些xiǎo修士间的拼斗，谁胜谁负，林轩根本就不会关心什么。

Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm as he glanced at the old man’s face, his expression turning strange.

shì bù guān jǐ ， gāo gāo guà qǐ ， xiū xiān jiè de rén qíng ， běn lái jiù shì pǒ wèi lěng mò dì ， jǐn guǎn nà shǎo nv zhǎng dé hái bú cuò ， dàn yīng xióng jiù měi de shì qíng ， lín xuān shì bú huì qù zuò de ， tā yòu bú shì chū chū máo lú de cài niǎo le 。

事不关己，高高挂起，修仙界的人情，本来就是颇为冷漠地，尽管那少nv长得还不错，但英雄救美的事情，林轩是不会去做的，他又不是初出茅庐的菜鸟了。

"Is it really him?"

chōng guān yī nù wèi hóng yán ， xiū xiān jiè bú shì méi yǒu ， dàn bì xū shì wèi zì jǐ zhēn xīn xiāng ài de nv zi ， cái yǒu nà yàng de qì pò ， píng shuǐ xiāng féng ， bié kāi wán xiào le ， zhǎng dé piào liàng yòu rú hé ， lǎo là de xiū xiān zhě ， shì bú huì yǒu rén qù zuò nà yàng shǎ shì de 。

冲冠一怒为红颜，修仙界不是没有，但必须是为自己真心相爱的nv子，才有那样的气魄，萍水相逢，别开玩笑了，长得漂亮又如何，老辣的修仙者，是不会有人去做那样傻事的。

This person seemed familiar. Initially, Lin Xuan hadn’t paid much attention, but after a careful look, he realized that this initial yuanxian cultivator had met him before.

lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì bō lán bù jīng zhī sè， rán ér mù guāng lüè guò lǎo zhě de miàn róng ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què biàn dé gǔ guài qǐ lái le 。

林轩脸上满是bō澜不惊之sè，然而目光掠过老者的面容，脸上的表情却变得古怪起来了。

That was over four hundred years ago.

“ jū rán shì tā ？”

“居然是他？”

Back then, Lin Xuan had just ascended to the spirit realm and was unfamiliar with it. The first spirit realm cultivator he encountered was precisely this unremarkable old man.

cǐ rén yǒu xiē yǎn shú ， qǐ chū de shí hòu lín xuān hái méi yǒu zěn me zài yì ， dàn hòu lái zǐ xì yī qiáo ， lín xuān què fā xiàn zhè yuán yīng chū qī de lǎo zhě ， sì hū céng hé zì jǐ yǒu guò yí miàn zhī yuán de 。

此人有些眼熟，起初的时候林轩还没有怎么在意，但后来仔细一瞧，林轩却发现这元婴初期的老者，似乎曾和自己有过一面之缘的。

At that time, the old man’s cultivation level was only at the foundation gathering stage, far from the current yuanxian realm.

nà yǐ jīng shì sì bǎi duō nián qián de shì le 。

那已经是四百多年前的事了。

With the passage of time, Lin Xuan had long forgotten about this matter, but here they were, meeting in a strange sea after so many years.

nà shí hòu ， lín xuān gāng gāng fēi shēng dào líng jiè zhī zhōng ， rén shēng dì bù shú ， dì yí gè yù jiàn de líng jiè xiū xiān zhě ， jiù shì yǎn qián qí mào bù yáng de lǎo zhě 。

那时候，林轩刚刚飞升到灵界之中，人生地不熟，第一个遇见的灵界修仙者，就是眼前其貌不扬的老者。

Lin Xuan sighed and couldn’t help but marvel at fate. As the ancients said, "Without coincidence, no good story," it was true.

zhǐ bù guò nà shí hòu ， lǎo zhě de xiū wèi cái jǐn jǐn zhù jī ， yuǎn bù néng yǔ xiàn zài de yuán yīng xiāng bǐ 。

只不过那时候，老者的修为才仅仅筑基，远不能与现在的元婴相比。

Although their past interactions only amounted to a brief encounter, there was still a bond of old acquaintance. Even if they didn't know each other before, seeing him in peril now, Lin Xuan had no reason not to help.

shì yì shí yí ， lín xuān zǎo yǐ jiāng zhè jiàn shì qíng wàng jì ， méi xiǎng dào hái néng zài mò shēng hǎi yù ， tóng xī rì de gù rén xiāng yù 。

事易时移，林轩早已将这件事情忘记，没想到还能在陌生海域，同昔日的故人相遇。

With that thought, Lin Xuan flew over and stopped concealing his aura. A powerful spiritual pressure descended from above.

lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， yě bù dé bù gǎn tàn jī yuán qiǎo hé ， gǔ rén shuō wú qiǎo bù chéng shū ， zhè jù huà chéng bù qī wǒ 。

林轩叹了口气，也不得不感叹机缘巧合，古人说无巧不成书，这句话诚不欺我。

"Plunk plunk," the sounds echoed as the grandfather-granddaughter duo was safe under Lin Xuan's protection. The cultivators opposing them were in a worse state; they felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar. The initial yuanxian cultivator fared slightly better, just turning pale and shivering, while three condensation core disciples directly fell unconscious into the sea.

suī rán liǎng rén guò wǎng de jiāo jí ， yě jǐn yǒu yí miàn zhī yuán ér yǐ ， dàn bù guò rú hé ， zǒng shì yǒu yī fèn gù rén zhī qíng zài de ， jiǎ rú bù zhī dào yě jiù bà le ， rú jīn jiàn tā shēn chù wēi jī ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， lín xuān dōu méi yǒu xiù shǒu páng guān de dào lǐ 。

虽然两人过往的jiāo集，也仅有一面之缘而已，但不过如何，总是有一份故人之情在的，假如不知道也就罢了，如今见他身处危机，于情于理，林轩都没有袖手旁观的道理。

The sounds of battle abruptly ceased as several people struggled to control their treasures, their faces filled with fear. Lin Xuan appeared in mid-air with a calm expression.

xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān fēi le guò qù ， yě bù zài yǐn cáng qì xī ， qiáng dà de líng yā cóng tóu dǐng zhí luò xià qù 。

想到这里，林轩飞了过去，也不再隐藏气息，强大的灵压从头顶直落下去。

Despite only being an ordinary-looking young man, their expressions didn't improve; his divine sense revealed nothing about him. Could he be at the separation union stage?

“ pū tōng pū tōng ” chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà zǔ sūn liǎ yǒu lín xuān zhào fú zì rán sī háo dà ài yě wú ， yǔ tā men duì lěi de xiū xiān zhě kě jiù cǎn le ， zhǐ jué de yóu rú zhuì rù le bīng jiào yì bān ， nà yuán yīng qī xiū shì hǎo yì diǎn ， jǐn jǐn shì liǎn sè fā bái ， hún shēn dǎ zhàn ， zhì yú sān míng níng dān qī dì zǐ ， zé zhí jiē kǒu tǔ bái mò de zhuì rù hǎi zhōng 。

“扑通扑通”传入耳朵，那祖孙俩有林轩照拂自然丝毫大碍也无，与他们对垒的修仙者可就惨了，只觉得犹如坠入了冰窖一般，那元婴期修士好一点，仅仅是脸sè发白，浑身打颤，至于三名凝丹期弟子，则直接口吐白沫的坠入海中。

This thought made them shiver internally.

dǎ dòu shēng gā rán ér zhǐ ， jǐ rén lián fǎ bǎo dōu lái bù jí kòng zhì ， mǎn liǎn kǒng jù de zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， qīng guāng shǎn shuò ， lín xuān shén qíng dàn rán de chū xiàn zài le bàn kōng 。

打斗声嘎然而止，几人连法宝都来不及控制，满脸恐惧的转过头颅，青光闪烁，林轩神情淡然的出现在了半空。

The grandfather and granddaughter exchanged glances, feeling both frightened and puzzled. The spiritual pressure clearly wasn’t directed at them. Did this person recognize them? But they had no such high-ranking cultivators in their memories.

jǐn guǎn chū xiàn zài yǎn lián de ， jǐn jǐn shì yí miàn mù pǔ tōng de shào nián ， rán ér jǐ rén de biǎo qíng què méi yǒu fēn háo hǎo zhuǎn ， yīn wèi shén shí sǎo guò ， wán quán kàn bù chū duì fāng shēn qiǎn rú hé ， néng ná dào shuō ， shì lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ？

尽管出现在眼帘的，仅仅是一面目普通的少年，然而几人的表情却没有分毫好转，因为神识扫过，完全看不出对方深浅如何，能拿到说，是离合期修仙者？

This was understandable; Lin Xuan had used a spell to seal part of the old man's memory when they parted ways. Unless one reached separation union, they wouldn't remember it.

xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， jǐ rén de nèi xīn shēn chù ， bù yóu de wǎ liáng wǎ liáng le 。

想到这里，几人的内心深处，不由得瓦凉瓦凉了。

Despite the confusion, the grandfather and granddaughter bowed together, as did the other group of cultivators. In the cultivation world, meeting an unfamiliar high-ranking cultivator meant showing utmost respect.

zhì yú nà zǔ sūn liǎ ， zé duì shì yī yǎn ， jīng jù zhī yú ， yě yǒu xiē chà yì ， duì fāng de líng yā ， míng xiǎn méi yǒu zhēn duì zì jǐ ， nán dào cǐ rén rèn shí ， kě tā men de yìn xiàng lǐ ， míng xiǎn méi yǒu zhè yàng gāo jí bié de xiū shì 。

至于那祖孙俩，则对视一眼，惊惧之余，也有些诧异，对方的灵压，明显没有针对自己，难道此人认识，可他们的印象里，明显没有这样高级别的修士。
