第一千八百五十章重回红叶岛

Chapter 1850: Return to Red Leaf Island

“ dào yǒu bù yòng kè qì ， zhè běn lái jiù shì lín mǒu xǔ nuò gěi nǐ 。” lín xuān wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ hái yǒu zhè jǐ jiàn gǔ bǎo ， wēi lì yě dōu bù ruò ， duì dào yǒu jīn hòu de xiū xíng zhī lù ， duō shǎo huì yǒu yī xiē bāng zhù 。”

“道友不用客气，这本来就是林某许诺给你。”林轩微笑的声音传入耳朵：“还有这几件古宝，威力也都不弱，对道友今后的修行之路，多少会有一些帮助。”

Lin Xuan's voice, tinged with a smile, entered the old man’s ears. "Friend, you need not be so polite; this was originally promised by me." As he spoke, he flexed his fingers slightly, and the ancient treasures flashed with a divine light, as if they had souls, flying to the old man's front.

lín xuān yī biān shuō ， yī biān qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， nà jǐ jiàn gǔ bǎo líng guāng shǎn shǎn ， yě rú yǒu líng xì bān ， fēi dào le lǎo zhě de miàn qián 。

林轩一边说，一边屈指微弹，那几件古宝灵光闪闪，也如有灵xì般，飞到了老者的面前。

The grandfather and grandson were naturally delighted, filled with gratitude towards Lin Xuan. Although objectively speaking, the value of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit root far exceeded these few bottles of pills and ancient treasures, sometimes things couldn't be judged so simply.

zǔ sūn liǎ zì shì jīng xǐ j jí ， duì lín xuān chōng mǎn le gǎn jī， suī rán píng xīn lái shuō ， wàn nián líng rǔ de jià zhí ， yuǎn fēi zhè qū qū jǐ píng dān yao yǔ gǔ bǎo kě bǐ ， dàn yǒu shí hòu wèn tí ， bìng bù néng zhè me jiǎn dān kàn dì 。

祖孙俩自是惊喜j集，对林轩充满了感jī，虽然平心来说，万年灵rǔ的价值，远非这区区几瓶丹yao与古宝可比，但有时候问题，并不能这么简单看地。

As the saying goes: "A commoner is innocent until he harbors jade; then he becomes guilty." A ten-thousand-year-old spirit root truly was an extraordinary object. However, precisely because it was too precious, only a cultivator at the元婴 stage had the fortune to enjoy its benefits.

sú huà shuō ， pǐ fū wú zuì ， huái bì qí zuì ， wàn nián líng rǔ què shí kān chēng nì tiān zhī wù ， kě zhèng yīn wèi tā tài bǎo guì le ， què bú shì qū qū yī míng yuán yīng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yǒu fú qì kě yǐ xiāo shòu dì 。

俗话说，匹夫无罪，怀璧其罪，万年灵rǔ确实堪称逆天之物，可正因为牠太宝贵了，却不是区区一名元婴期的修仙者，有福气可以消受地。

In fact, what just happened was a perfect illustration of this point. If not for carrying such a rare item, how could they have been pursued by several Golden Robe cultivators?

qí shí gāng gāng suǒ shēng de yí mù ， jiù shì hěn hǎo de zhèng míng 。

其实刚刚所生的一幕，就是很好的证明。

Had it not been for meeting Lin Xuan, their grandfather and grandson would likely have already perished in the netherworld.

rú guǒ bú shì shēn shàng huái chuāi yǒu zhè yàng de qí wù ， hǎo duān duān de ， yòu zěn me kě néng bèi jǐ míng jīn yī xiū shì gěi zhuī shā ne ？

如果不是身上怀揣有这样的奇物，好端端的，又怎么可能被几名金衣修士给追杀呢？

From this perspective, without sufficient strength, that treasure was no longer a treasure but a death warrant that could bring disaster or misfortune.

ruò bú shì pèng qiǎo yǔ lín xuān xiāng yù ， tā men zǔ sūn liǎng gè ， kǒng pà yǐ hún guī dì fǔ 。

若不是碰巧与林轩相遇，他们祖孙两个，恐怕已魂归地府。

Hold onto it, fearing calamity; discard it, feeling regret.

cóng zhè ge yì yì lái shuō ， méi yǒu zú gòu de shí lì ， nà bǎo wù jiù bù zài shì bǎo wù ， ér biàn chéng le lìng rén dǎn zhàn xīn jīng de cuī mìng fú 。

从这个意义来说，没有足够的实力，那宝物就不再是宝物，而变成了令人胆战心惊的催命符。

It was like carrying a hot potato—extremely uncomfortable to handle. The old man already felt remorse in his heart. When he had fought with the five Golden Robe cultivators, he had offered to hand over the ten-thousand-year-old spirit root, but they were unmoved and determined to kill him to cover their tracks, seemingly fearing that the news might leak out.

liú zhe ， pà zhāo zāi yǐn huò ， shuǎi le ， yòu shě bù dé 。

留着，怕招灾引祸，甩了，又舍不得。

However, this senior was different; not only did he spare them, but he also presented a large number of treasures. Although these treasures weren't as valuable as the ten-thousand-year-old spirit root, they perfectly met their needs.

zuǒ yòu wéi nán ， yòng tàng shǒu shān yù lái xíng róng nà bǎo wù shì zuì hé shì bù guò 。

左右为难，用烫手山芋来形容那宝物是最合适不过。

One must be content with what one has. It's no wonder that the grandfather and grandson were moved to tears by Lin Xuan.

qí shí lǎo zhě xīn zhōng yǐ jīng zài hòu huǐ le ， yǔ wǔ míng jīn yī xiū shì dòu fǎ de shí hòu ， tā jiù céng biǎo shì guò ， yuàn yì jiāng wàn nián líng rǔj chū ， kě duì fāng gēn běn bù wèi suǒ dòng ， dǎ dìng le zhǔ yì xiǎng yào shā rén miè kǒu ， kàn yàng zi sì hū yě shì hài pà jiāng xiāo xī zǒu lòu 。

其实老者心中已经在后悔了，与五名金衣修士斗法的时候，他就曾表示过，愿意将万年灵rǔj出，可对方根本不为所动，打定了主意想要杀人灭口，看样子似乎也是害怕将消息走漏。

The outcome was mutually beneficial; everyone was pleased.

ér yǎn qián zhè wèi qián bèi bù tóng ， bù jǐn jiāng tā men zǔ sūn fàng guò ， fǎn ér ná chū dà liàng de bǎo wù ， zhè xiē dōng xī jià zhí suī bù jí wàn nián líng rǔ， dàn què zhèng hǎo shì tā men suǒ xū yào de 。

而眼前这位前辈不同，不仅将他们祖孙放过，反而拿出大量的宝物，这些东西价值虽不及万年灵rǔ，但却正好是他们所需要的。

"Senior, if there are any further instructions, may I ask? If not, can old man and granddaughter bid you farewell?"

rén yào zhī zú ， yě nán guài zǔ sūn liǎ huì duì lín xuān gǎn jī tì líng le 。

人要知足，也难怪祖孙俩会对林轩感jī涕零了。

After repeatedly thanking Lin Xuan, the old man spoke with great respect.

zuì hòu de jié guǒ kě yǐ shuō shì gè qǔ suǒ xū ， jiē dà huān xǐ 。

最后的结果可以说是各取所需，皆大欢喜。

"It's fine." Lin Xuan nodded.

“ qián bèi ， bù zhī dào nín hái yǒu shén me fēn fù ， rú guǒ méi yǒu ， lǎo ér yǔ sūn nǚ ， shì bú shì kě yǐ gào cí le ？”

“前辈，不知道您还有什么吩咐，如果没有，老儿与孙女，是不是可以告辞了？”

"Then senior take care. I hope we have another chance to meet in the future."

xiàng lín xuān yī zài chēng xiè zhī hòu ， lǎo zhě gōng jìng yì cháng de kāi kǒu 。

像林轩一再称谢之后，老者恭敬异常的开口。

The old man respectfully bowed to Lin Xuan, and the young woman beside him also bowed gracefully. Soon, their figures vanished into the distant horizon as a brilliant light enveloped them.

“ méi shì le 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu 。

“没事了。”林轩点了点头。

Lin Xuan's face was still full of joy. He played with the bottle containing the ten-thousand-year-old spirit root for a while before storing it in his momentary bag.

“ nà qián bèi duō bǎo zhòng ， xī wàng xià yī cì ， xī wàng hái yǒu jī yuán néng yǔ nǐ chóng féng 。”

“那前辈多保重，希望下一次，希望还有机缘能与你重逢。”

Then, he waved his sleeves and several streaks of green swordlight shot out, quickly decimating the ancient beast, taking its妖丹 and other useful materials. The rest was discarded.

lǎo zhě gōng jìng de xiàng lín xuān xíng le yī lǐ ， páng biān de shào nǚ yě yíng yíng bài le xià qù ， suí hòu liǎng rén shēn shàng jīng máng dà qǐ ， hěn kuài xiāo shī zài le yuǎn fāng de tiān jì 。

老者恭敬的像林轩行了一礼，旁边的少女也盈盈拜了下去，随后两人身上精芒大起，很快消失在了远方的天际。

Lin Xuan didn't delay further; with a flick of his hand, a brilliant light flashed, and the spirit boat reappeared before him.

lín xuān liǎn shàng zé yī jiù mǎn shì xǐ qì ， yòu qǔ chū shèng zhuāng wàn nián líng rǔ de píng zi bǎ wán le yī huì er ， cái jiāng tā xīn de shōu rù dào le xū yú dài lǐ 。

林轩脸上则依旧满是喜气，又取出盛装万年灵rǔ的瓶子把玩了一会儿，才将牠心的收入到了须臾袋里。

With a flash, Lin Xuan sat on the spirit boat, casting out a spell that enveloped it in a dazzling light as he shot forward towards the front.

rán hòu xiù páo yī fú ， jǐ dào qīng sè de jiàn guāng fēi lüè ér chū ， bù yī huì er jiù jiāng nà gǔ shòu zhǎn le gè qī líng bā luò ， yāo dān yǐ jí qí tā yī xiē yǒu yòng de cái liào qǔ zǒu ， qí yú de ， zé suí shǒu diū qì zài cǐ chù 。

然后袖袍一拂，几道青色的剑光飞掠而出，不一会儿就将那古兽斩了个七零八落，妖丹以及其他一些有用的材料取走，其余的，则随手丢弃在此处。

...

rán hòu lín xuān yě bù dān gē ， shǒu yī dǒu ， guāng xiá shǎn dòng ， nà líng zhōu jiù chóng xīn chū xiàn zài yǎn qián le 。

然后林轩也不耽搁，手一抖，光霞闪动，那灵舟就重新出现在眼前了。

The rest of the journey was uneventful; smooth sailing was the best description. After all, danger and opportunity were not related to each other like cabbage and lettuce; one couldn't just bump into them on the street.

shēn xíng yī shǎn ， lín xuān yǐ zuò zài le líng zhōu de shàng miàn ， suí shǒu yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， líng zhōu bèi yào mù de guāng yùn bāo guǒ ， cháo zhe qián fāng jī shè ér qù le 。

身形一闪，林轩已坐在了灵舟的上面，随手一道法诀打出，灵舟被耀目的光晕包裹，朝着前方jī射而去了。

Lin Xuan didn't rush his journey, spending another two months before finally arriving at Red Leaf Sea. Although it was a sea, there was still some distance from Red Leaf Island.

……

……

He concealed his cultivation level, appearing only as an中期元婴 cultivator. He had come here to uncover any secrets on the island and, if possible, settle accounts with Old Patriarch Poison Dragon. That old monster had made him look like a fool back then. Given Lin Xuan's clear-cut nature, he wouldn't easily let it go.

jiē xià lái de lǚ tú méi yǒu shén me hǎo shuō ， yī fān fēng shùn shì zuì qià dàng de xíng róng ， bì jìng wēi xiǎn yǔ jī yù tóng dà bái cài méi yǒu shén me guān xì ， bìng bú shì nǐ zǒu dào dà jiē shàng ， suí suí biàn biàn dōu néng pèng dào dì 。

接下来的旅途没有什么好说，一帆风顺是最恰当的形容，毕竟危险与机遇同大白菜没有什么关系，并不是你走到大街上，随随便便都能碰到地。

Before, he couldn’t fight; now... hmm, wasn't it time to take that old fellow down a notch?

lín xuān méi yǒu jí zhe gǎn lù ， suǒ yǐ zú zú yòu fèi le liǎng gè yuè de gōng fu cái zhōng yú dào hóng yè hǎi yù ， zhǔ yì ， zhǐ shì hǎi yù ， jù lí hóng yè dǎo yī jiù shì yǒu nà me yī duàn jù lí 。

林轩没有急着赶路，所以足足又费了两个月的功夫才终于到红叶海域，主意，只是海域，距离红叶岛依旧是有那么一段距离。

But whether for investigating secrets or seeking revenge on Old Patriarch Poison Dragon, such matters couldn't be done openly. A sudden disturbance could lead to many complications. His cultivation at the离合 stage was too conspicuous, so concealing it as an中期元婴 cultivator was most suitable.

lín xuān jiāng xiū wèi yǐn nì ， kàn shàng qù jǐn yǒu yuán yīng zhōng qī ， bì jìng tā lái dào zhè lǐ ， shì xiǎng yào qīng chǔ dǎo yǔ shàng jiū jìng yǒu shén me mì mì ， yǒu jī huì de huà ， zài hǎo hǎo suàn jì yī xià dú lóng lǎo zǔ ， nà lǎo guài wù ， dāng chū kě jiāng zì jǐ bī dé gòu láng bèi de ， yǐ lín xuān ēn yuàn fēn míng de xìng gé ， dāng rán bú huì jiù cǐ shàn bà gān xiū 。

林轩将修为隐匿，看上去仅有元婴中期，毕竟他来到这里，是想要清楚岛屿上究竟有什么秘密，有机会的话，再好好算计一下毒龙老祖，那老怪物，当初可将自己bī得够狼狈的，以林轩恩怨分明的xìng格，当然不会就此善罢甘休。

As for his appearance, Lin Xuan didn’t change much; he was always one who blended into a crowd without drawing attention.

yǐ qián dǎ bù guò ， xiàn zài me …… hēi hēi ， bù jiāng nà lǎo jiā huǒ zhōng zhè yī kǒu è qì ne ？

以前打不过，现在么……嘿嘿，不将那老家伙中这一口恶气呢？

Lin Xuan’s face exuded a carefree demeanor, but deep down, his vigilance had increased significantly. He subtly released his divine sense to monitor the surroundings.

dàn bù guǎn shì chá fǎng mì mì ， hái shì xiǎng yào bào fù dú lóng lǎo zǔ ， zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， kěn dìng dū bù néng dà zhāng qí gǔ ， dǎ cǎo jīng shé huì zēng tiān xǔ duō bo zhé ， zì jǐ lí hé qī de xiū wèi tài yǐn rén zhǔ mù ， shōu liǎn dào yuán yīng shì zuì hé shì de 。

但不管是查访秘密，还是想要报复毒龙老祖，这种事情，肯定都不能大张旗鼓，打草惊蛇会增添许多bo折，自己离合期的修为太引人瞩目，收敛到元婴是最合适的。

Suddenly, Lin Xuan's brows furrowed as he turned his head slightly to the left. Several life forces were rapidly approaching this area. However, despite the heightened alertness, his expression remained calm. From the fluctuations in spiritual energy, they were only a few中期元婴 cultivators, not worth fearing. Besides, being here in Red Leaf Sea, encountering some traveling cultivators was nothing unusual.

zhì yú zhǎng xiàng lín xuān dào méi yǒu biàn huà shén me ， fǎn zhèng tā běn jiù shǔ yú diū jìn rén duī yě bú huì yǐn qǐ zhù yì de nà zhǒng 。

至于长相林轩倒没有变化什么，反正他本就属于丢进人堆也不会引起注意的那种。

About half an hour later, a spirit boat appeared in view. Compared to Lin Xuan's boat, this one was much larger, like a giant ship.

lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì yún dàn fēng qīng zhī sè ， rán ér nèi xīn shēn chù ， jǐng tì què shì dà dà de tí gāo le ， qiǎo rán jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， liú yì zhe fù jìn de yī jǔ yī dòng 。

林轩脸上满是云淡风轻之色，然而内心深处，警惕却是大大的提高了，悄然将神识放出，留意着附近的一举一动。

Three men and one woman were on the boat, engaged in conversation. After a short while, their boat was close enough that it seemed they would pass by each other. Suddenly, one of them stood up.

tū rán ， lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， xiàng zuǒ cè zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， tā gǎn yìng dào jǐ gǔ qì xī ， zhèng kuài jiē jìn cǐ chù ， bù guò zhù yì guī zhù yì ， lín xuān què yī jiù shì yī fù ān rán zhī sè ， cóng líng lì bo dòng lái shuō ， bù guò shì jǐ míng yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， bù zú wèi jù ， hé kuàng zhè lǐ yǐ jīng shì hóng yè hǎi yù ， yù jiàn jǐ míng gǎn lù de xiū xiān zhě ， gēn běn suàn bù dé xī qí 。

突然，林轩眉头一挑，像左侧转过头颅，他感应到几股气息，正快接近此处，不过注意归注意，林轩却依旧是一副安然之色，从灵力bo动来说，不过是几名元婴期修仙者，不足为惧，何况这里已经是红叶海域，遇见几名赶路的修仙者，根本算不得稀奇。

This man looked around forty years old, with an extremely handsome face exuding righteousness. He held a scroll in his hand, looking like a well-learned scholar.

dà yuē bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， yī sōu líng zhōu chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng ， tóng wèi fēi xíng fǎ qì ， dàn yǔ lín xuān chéng zuò de líng zhōu xiāng bǐ ， zé dà le bù zhī fán jǐ 。

大约半个时辰以后，一艘灵舟出现在了视线中，同为飞行法器，但与林轩乘坐的灵舟相比，则大了不知凡几。

"Friend, please."

fàng yǎn wàng qù ， líng zhōu shàng yǒu sān nán yī nǚ ， zhèng zài nà lǐ lùn dào bǎi tán zhe shén me ， yòu fēi piàn kè ， nà líng zhōu yǐ jìn zài zhǐ chǐ ， yǎn kàn zhe jiù yào yǔ lín xuān cā jiān ér guò ， shàng miàn de yī míng xiū shì què tū rán zhàn qǐ lái le 。

放眼望去，灵舟上有三男一女，正在那里论道摆谈着什么，又飞片刻，那灵舟已近在咫尺，眼看着就要与林轩擦肩而过，上面的一名修士却突然站起来了。

With a wave of his right hand, he cast a spell, and the giant spirit boat's light flickered to a stop.

cǐ rén dà yuē sì shí chū tóu de yàng zi ， miàn róng yīng jùn yǐ jí ， hún shēn shàng xià ， gèng tòu chū yī gǔ zhèng qì ， shǒu zhōng ná zhe yī juàn shī shū ， kàn tā de yàng zi ， sì hū xiàng shì bǎo xué hóng rú 。

此人大约四十出头的样子，面容英俊以极，浑身上下，更透出一股正气，手中拿着一卷诗书，看他的样子，似乎像是饱学鸿儒。

Lin Xuan looked up; he had already determined that this was an后期元婴 cultivator with significantly deeper spiritual energy than others at the same stage. He must have either practiced some extraordinary techniques or cultivated a second元婴.

“ zhè wèi dào yǒu qǐng le 。”

“这位道友请了。”

"Friend, may I ask your name? What instructions do you have?" Lin Xuan naturally wasn't a proud person and stood up, returning the bow while smiling.

cǐ rén yòu shǒu yī fú ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， nà jù dà de líng zhōu guāng yùn shǎn shuò ， dùn shí tíng xià lái le 。

此人右手一拂，一道法诀打出，那巨大的灵舟光晕闪烁，顿时停下来了。

"Haha, we are the Four Friends of Yanshan. I am from Huang Ting Sect. Seeing that your bones are so clear, would you be interested in joining our boat for a chat?"

lín xuān tái qǐ tóu ， tā zǎo yǐ kàn chū cǐ rén shì yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě fǎ lì míng xiǎn yào bǐ tóng jiē xiū shì shēn hòu xǔ duō ， kàn lái bú shì xiū liàn yǒu shén me qí gōng mì shù ， jiù shì yǔ zì jǐ yī yàng ， jì liàn dé yǒu dì èr yuán yīng le 。

林轩抬起头，他早已看出此人是元婴后期的修仙者，而且法力明显要比同阶修士深厚许多，看来不是修炼有什么奇功秘术，就是与自己一样，祭炼得有第二元婴了。

The voice of the well-learned scholar sounded sincere as it reached Lin Xuan's ears.

“ dào yǒu jiào zhù zài xià ， bù zhī dào yǒu shén me fēn fù ？” duì fāng yǒu lǐ ， lín xuān zì rán yě bú huì shì shén me ào màn de rén wù ， yě zhàn qǐ shēn lái ， tóng yàng gǒng shǒu bào quán ， wēi xiào zhe shuō 。

“道友叫住在下，不知道有什么吩咐？”对方有礼，林轩自然也不会是什么傲慢的人物，也站起身来，同样拱手抱拳，微笑着说。

"Clear bones?" Lin Xuan was taken aback. His first thought was whether his concealment technique had been discovered, but he quickly regained composure; that was impossible.

“ hē hē ， wǒ men nǎi yān shān sì yǒu ， zài xià huáng tíng zōng ， jiàn dào yǒu gǔ gé qīng qí ， kě yǒu xìng qù lái chuán shàng yī xù ？” nà bǎo xué hóng rú de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， liǎn shàng biǎo qíng chéng kěn yǐ jí 。

“呵呵，我们乃燕山四友，在下黄庭宗，见道友骨骼清奇，可有兴趣来船上一叙？”那饱学鸿儒的声音传入耳朵里，脸上表情诚恳以极。

Even an ordinary中期元婴 cultivator or a玄期 old monster wouldn't be able to discern his concealment method unless they met face-to-face and used their divine sense with full effort. Lin Xuan had confidence in his own abilities.

“ gǔ gé qīng qí ？” lín xuān biǎo qíng yī è ， dì yī fǎn yìng shì duì fāng shì fǒu jiāng zì jǐ de yǐn nì zhī shù kàn pò ， dàn suí hòu ， què yòu chóng xīn zhèn dìng xià lái ， yīn wèi zhè shì bù kě néng de 。

“骨骼清奇？”林轩表情一愕，第一反应是对方是否将自己的隐匿之术看破，但随后，却又重新镇定下来，因为这是不可能的。

His mind raced as he replied, "Friend, you jest; I am just a mere wandering cultivator. How could we discuss clear bones?"

bié shuō qū qū yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn d xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， zhǐ yào bú shì dāng miàn xiāng féng ， zài yòng mì shù shén shí duì zhe zì jǐ sǎo guò ， ér qiě quán lì yǐ fù ， fǒu zé kǒng pà dōu bù kě néng kàn pò zì jǐ de liǎn qì zhī fǎ 。

别说区区元婴期修仙者，就算d玄期老怪物，只要不是当面相逢，再用秘术神识对着自己扫过，而且全力以赴，否则恐怕都不可能看破自己的敛气之法。
