第一千八百八十五章朋友变前辈

Chapter 1885: Friend Turns Senior

zhǎ le zhǎ wū liū liū de dà yǎn ，xiǎo jiā huo máo rōng rōng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì chuí xián yù dī zhī sè， suí hòu zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， chōng zhe lín xuān tǎo hǎo de jiào qǐ lái le ， hái yòng tóu cèng le cèng tā de gē bó 。

眨了眨乌溜溜的大眼，xiǎo家伙máo茸茸的脸上满是垂涎yù滴之sè，随后转过头颅，冲着林轩讨好的叫起来了，还用头蹭了蹭他的胳膊。

The small creature blinked its large, round eyes and drooled at the sight of something. It then turned its head to Lin Xuan, calling out in a pleading manner while rubbing against his arm.

“ nǐ xiǎng chī zhè dōng xī ？” lín xuān yǎn zhōng lù chū jǐ fēn yóu yí 。

“你想吃这东西？”林轩眼中lù出几分犹疑。

"Do you want to eat this?" Lin Xuan's eyes showed some hesitation.

“ miāo 。”

“喵。”

"Meow."

xiǎo jiā huo diǎn tóu shì zhuó mǐ ， kǒu zhōng de jiào shēng gèng ràng lín xuān wú yǔ ， māo jiào ， jì de dì yī cì xiāng yù ，xiǎomáo qiú de jiào shēng kě bú shì rú cǐ 。

xiǎo家伙点头似啄米，口中的叫声更让林轩无语，猫叫，记得第一次相遇，xiǎomáo球的叫声可不是如此。

The small creature nodded, making a chirping sound that left Lin Xuan speechless. He remembered the first time they met; the kitten’s cries weren’t like this back then.

bù guò zhè ge wèn tí shēn jiū méi yǒu yì yì ， lín xuān hěn dà dù de yī bǎi shǒu ：“ ná qù 。”

不过这个问题深究没有意义，林轩很大度的一摆手：“拿去。”

However, delving into this issue was meaningless. Lin Xuan waved his hand generously: "Take it."

dé dào zhǔ rén de tóng yì ，xiǎomáo qiú de biǎo qíng jí wéi huān xǐ ， shēn shàng rǔ bái sè de guāng máng yì qǐ ， jiù sōu de yī shēng cuàn le chū qù 。

得到主人的同意，xiǎomáo球的表情极为欢喜，身上rǔ白sè的光芒一起，就嗖的一声窜了出去。

With the owner's consent, the small white ball of fur was extremely happy. Its body emitted a milky-white light as it zipped away.

tiān xīn chán wáng de hún pò dà jīng shī sè， jǐn guǎn tā de líng zhì shàng wèi kāi qǐ ， kě běn néng yě néng gòu gǎn jué dào yǎn qián shì tā de tiān dí ， kě xī bèi lín xuān jìn gù ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu jī huì táo tuō 。

天心蟾王的魂魄大惊失sè，尽管牠的灵智尚未开启，可本能也能够感觉到眼前是牠的天敌，可惜被林轩禁锢，根本就没有机会逃脱。

The soul of the Heavenly Heart Toad King was greatly alarmed. Although its intelligence hadn’t been awakened yet, its instincts could sense that this was its natural enemy. Unfortunately, Lin Xuan had sealed it, leaving no chance to escape.

xià yī kè ，xiǎomáo qiú yǐ jīng chū xiàn zài tā de shēn cè ， miāo wū yī shēng jí wéi huān xǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī kǒu jiāng tā gěi tūn xià qù le 。

下一刻，xiǎomáo球已经出现在牠的身侧，喵呜一声极为欢喜的声音传入耳朵，一口将牠给吞下去了。

In the next moment, the small white ball appeared beside the toad king. A meowing sound of great joy entered his ears as he swallowed it whole.

gū dōng ！

咕咚！

Gulp!

lín xuān hěn qīng chǔ de tīng jiàn le tūn yàn zhī shēng ， suí hòu xiǎo jiā huo zā le zā zuǐ ， hái yòng zhuǎ zi mō le mō yuán gǔn gǔn de xiǎo dù ， kě míng xiǎn shì yì yóu wèi jǐn de 。

林轩很清楚的听见了吞咽之声，随后xiǎo家伙咂了咂嘴，还用爪子mō了mō圆滚滚的xiǎo肚，可明显是意犹未尽的。

Lin Xuan clearly heard the swallowing sound. The small creature then licked its lips and rubbed its round belly with a clear sense of dissatisfaction.

yān shān sì yǒu yǐ kàn dé dāi zhù ， yuán lái lín xuān yǎng de zhè ge bú shì chǒng wù ， jū rán néng gòu jiāng zhè me qiáng dà de yāo hún yě yī kǒu tūn luò ， shí zài tài lì hài le ！

燕山四友已看得呆住，原来林轩养的这个不是宠物，居然能够将这么强大的妖魂也一口吞落，实在太厉害了！

The Four Companions of Yanshan were left speechless, realizing that Lin Xuan’s pet wasn’t ordinary; it could even swallow such a powerful demon soul in one go. This was truly impressive!

bù guò lín xuān qián hòu dài gěi tā men de zhèn hàn yǐ shì tài duō ， sì rén jiē jìn yú má mù ， yǐ bù zhī dào gāi yòng zěn yàng de biǎo qíng ， lái biǎo shì zì jǐ xīn zhōng de jīng è 。

不过林轩前后带给他们的震撼已是太多，四人接近于麻木，已不知道该用怎样的表情，来表示自己心中的惊愕。

However, the many shocks Lin Xuan had given them made their expressions numb. They no longer knew how to react to his awe-inspiring actions.

yī shí piàn kè ， lèng lèng de zài yuán dì zhàn zhe 。

一时片刻，愣愣的在原地站着。

They stood there, dumbfounded.

lín xuān zé bǎ wán zhe nà shén qí de yāo dān ， zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， tā liè shā guò de yāo shòu bù jì qí shù ， rán ér zhè me gǔ guài de yāo dān zhēn hái méi yǒu jiàn guò ， huì yǒu shén me tè shū zuò yòng ne ？

林轩则把玩着那神奇的妖丹，自从踏上修仙之路，他猎杀过的妖兽不计其数，然而这么古怪的妖丹真还没有见过，会有什么特殊作用呢？

Lin Xuan played with that magical demon pill. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had hunted countless monsters, but such a peculiar demon pill was something he hadn’t seen before. What special effects would it have?

xīn zhōng dà wèi hào qí ， bù guò xiàn zài dāng rán bú shì yán jiū de hǎo shí jī ， dāng wù zhī jí ， shì xiān lí kāi zhè wēi xiǎn zhī dì ， lín xuān shǒu zhǎng fān zhuǎn ， nèi dān yǐ xiāo shī bú jiàn ， bèi tā shōu jìn le chǔ wù dài lǐ miàn 。

心中大为好奇，不过现在当然不是研究的好时机，当务之急，是先离开这危险之地，林轩手掌翻转，内丹已消失不见，被他收进了储物袋里面。

He was greatly curious, but now wasn’t the right time for research. The immediate priority was to leave this dangerous place. Lin Xuan flipped his hand, and the inner core vanished into his storage bracelet.

suí hòu lín xuān shēn shàng guāng yùn yì qǐ ， xiàng zhe qián fāng fēi lüè ér qù 。

随后林轩身上光晕一起，向着前方飞掠而去。

Next, a light surrounded him as he flew forward.

yān shān sì yǒu de biǎo qíng zé wú bù fù zá yǐ jí 。

燕山四友的表情则无不复杂以极。

The Four Companions of Yanshan had complex expressions.

yě nán guài ， yuán běn píng bèi xiāng jiāo de hǎo yǒu ， tū rán biàn wèi le lí hé qī de cún zài ， zhè yàng de jiǎo sè zhuǎn huàn ， ruò shuō duì tā men xīn lǐ méi yǒu yì diǎn chōng jī ， nà xiǎn rán shì piàn rén dì 。

也难怪，原本平辈相jiāo的好友，突然变为了离合期的存在，这样的角sè转换，若说对他们心理没有一点冲击，那显然是骗人地。

It was understandable; originally, they were on equal footing with each other, but suddenly, one of them had become an existence at the Separation Stage. Such a transformation couldn’t fail to impact their psychology.

suī shuō duì fāng jí shí chū shǒu ， bāng zhù tā men huà xiǎn wéi yí ， dàn nà zhǒng gǎn jué ， zhēn de shì biè niǔ wú bǐ 。

虽说对方及时出手，帮助他们化险为夷，但那种感觉，真的是别扭无比。

Although the other party had timely intervention and helped them out of danger, that feeling was incredibly awkward.

bù guò gāi miàn duì hái shì yào miàn duì dì 。

不过该面对还是要面对地。

However, they still needed to face it.

huáng tíng zōng àn àn tàn xī ， suí hòu tái qǐ tóu lú ， chōng lìng wài sān rén shǐ le gè yǎn sè， jiù yì qǐ yíng le shàng qù ， chōng zhe lín xuān bào quán xíng lǐ 。

黄庭宗暗暗叹息，随后抬起头颅，冲另外三人使了个眼sè，就一起迎了上去，冲着林轩抱拳行礼。

The Yellow Court Sect sighed silently before raising its head and signaling the others with his eyes. They then approached Lin Xuan, bowing in respect.

“ duō xiè qián bèi chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， wǎn bèi xīn zhōng míng gǎn dà dé 。”

“多谢前辈出手相助，晚辈心中铭感大徳。”

"Thank you for your assistance, senior. We are deeply grateful."

zhè fān huà dào bú shì xū yǔ wēi yí ， píng xīn lái shuō ， tā men duì lín xuān ， què shí shì gǎn jī dào jí chù ， gāng gāng ruò bú shì duì fāng chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， tā men kǒng pà méi yǒu yī rén néng gòu táo tuō ， sì xiōng mèi huì yì qǐ sàng shēn cǐ chù 。

这番话倒不是虚与委蛇，平心来说，他们对林轩，确实是感jī到极处，刚刚若不是对方出手相助，他们恐怕没有一人能够逃脱，四兄妹会一起丧身此处。

These words weren’t just formalities; indeed, they felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Lin Xuan. If not for his help, none of them would have survived the ordeal.

zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， guāng shì xiǎng xiǎng ， jiù yǐ jīng bù hán ér lì ， duì jiù mìng ēn rén ， dāng rán huì dà wèi gǎn jī。

这种结果，光是想想，就已经不寒而栗，对救命恩人，当然会大为感jī。

This outcome was too frightening to think about, so naturally, they were immensely grateful to their savior.

“ jǐ wèi dào yǒu bù bì rú cǐ ， lín mǒu bú shì yǒu yì xiāng qī ， yǐn cáng xiū wèi ， zhǐ shì wèi le gèng róng yì gǎn lù ， wǒ men hái shì píng bèi lùn jiāo hǎo le 。” lín xuān wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dàn dàn de yī jù huà jiù jiāng zì jǐ xiū wèi de shì qíng jiē guò 。

“几位道友不必如此，林某不是有意相欺，隐藏修为，只是为了更容易赶路，我们还是平辈论jiāo好了。”林轩微笑的声音传入耳朵，淡淡的一句话就将自己修为的事情揭过。

"Friends, there’s no need for such gratitude. I didn’t intend to deceive you; I merely concealed my cultivation level to make travel easier. Let's consider ourselves equals," Lin Xuan’s smiling voice echoed in their ears as he casually brushed off the matter of his cultivation.

zhè yě bù suàn hú shuō ， lí hé hòu qī de cún zài què shí tài yǐn rén zhǔ mù 。

这也不算胡说，离合后期的存在确实太引人瞩目。

This wasn’t entirely groundless; beings at the Separation Stage were too conspicuous.

yān shān sì yǒu zuǐ shàng bù shuō ， dàn xīn lǐ yě jiē shòu zhè ge jiě shì le 。

燕山四友嘴上不说，但心理也接受这个解释了。

The Four Companions of Yanshan didn’t say anything, but they accepted this explanation internally. They weren’t ungrateful people and thus resolved to put aside their differences. After all, there was a vast gap in their cultivation levels. Lin Xuan wouldn’t have any ulterior motives; he had helped them just now.

tā men sì gè ， bú shì bù xiǎo de hǎo dǎi de jiā huo ， yě jiù yīn cǐ xiāo nì le gé hé ， bì jìng shuāng fāng xiū wèi chā jù tài dà le ， lín xuān duì tā men ， kěn dìng bú huì yǒu suǒ tú ， rú guǒ huái yǒu è yì de huà ， gāng gāng yě bú huì chū shǒu xiàng zhù 。

他们四个，不是不晓得好歹的家伙，也就因此消匿了隔阂，毕竟双方修为差距太大了，林轩对他们，肯定不会有所图，如果怀有恶意的话，刚刚也不会出手相助。

This reasoning was simple and clear.

zhè ge dào lǐ shì hěn jiǎn dān ér míng xiǎn de 。

这个道理是很简单而明显的。

With the barriers removed, they naturally became more friendly, though still showing respect. They firmly rejected the idea of considering themselves equals with Lin Xuan.

gé hé jì rán bù cún zài le ， yán yǔ zì rán jiù qīn jìn le hěn duō ， bù guò yī rán bù fá gōng jìng zhī sè， duì yú lín xuān píng bèi lùn jiāo de shuō fǎ ， tā men shì jiān jué bù huì jiē shòu 。

隔阂既然不存在了，言语自然就亲近了很多，不过依然不乏恭敬之sè，对于林轩平辈论jiāo的说法，他们是坚决不会接受。

In the cultivation world, there were strict age hierarchies. A senior at the Separation Stage could lower himself to converse with them, but they couldn’t follow suit.

xiū xiān jiè shì zhǎng yòu yǒu xù de ， lí hé qī qián bèi kěn zhé jié xià jiāo， dàn zì jǐ què bù néng dǎ shé suí gùn shàng 。

修仙界是长幼有序的，离合期前辈肯折节下jiāo，但自己却不能打蛇随棍上。

One must know when to advance and retreat; otherwise, one would be ungrateful.

rén yào dǒng de jìn tuì qǔ shě ， fǒu zé jiù tài bù shí hǎo dǎi le 。

人要懂得进退取舍，否则就太不识好歹了。

This was understandable given his actions. Lin Xuan didn’t show any surprise, as being too enthusiastic might scare him off. So he nodded in agreement.

duì fāng huì zhè me zuò ， dào yě shì qíng lǐ zhī zhōng ， lín xuān méi yǒu lù chū shén me yì wài zhī sè， zì jǐ biǎo xiàn dé tài guò rè qíng ， fǎn ér huì jiāng duì fāng xià zhe ， suǒ yǐ yě jiù diǎn diǎn tóu mò rèn le 。

对方会这么做，倒也是情理之中，林轩没有lù出什么意外之sè，自己表现得太过热情，反而会将对方吓着，所以也就点点头默认了。

"Alright, this isn’t the place for conversation. This island is too dangerous; we need to leave quickly. Do you have any leads?"

“ hǎo le ， zhè lǐ bú shì shuō huà zhī chù ， rú jīn zhè zuò dǎo yǔ tài wēi xiǎn le ， wǒ men yào jǐn kuài lí kāi cǐ dì ， bù zhī dào jǐ wèi dào yǒu kě yǒu xiàn suǒ ？”

“好了，这里不是说话之处，如今这座岛屿太危险了，我们要尽快离开此地，不知道几位道友可有线索？”

"Do you mean the teleportation point? I’m not sure why, but there are fewer of them now. Two days ago, we saw one on a desolate mountain," Zhuo Tianyuan was taken aback and spoke hesitantly.

“ qián bèi shì shuō chuán sòng diǎn me ， bù zhī dào wèi shén me ， què shí bǐ yǐ qián shǎo le xǔ duō ， bù guò liǎng tiān yǐ qián ， wǒ men zài mǒu zuò huāng shān ， hái kàn jiàn le yí gè 。” zhū gě tiān yuán yī è ， yǒu xiē lèng lèng de kāi kǒu le 。

“前辈是说传送点么，不知道为什么，确实比以前少了许多，不过两天以前，我们在某座荒山，还看见了一个。”诸葛天元一愕，有些愣愣的开口了。

"What?"

“ shén me ？”

“什么？”

Lin Xuan was initially stunned before he became delighted. He had only asked casually without any hope. Unexpectedly…

lín xuān xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu jiù dà xǐ qǐ lái ， tā bù guò shì suí biàn wèn wèn ， píng xīn lái shuō ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu bào shén me xī wàng de ， méi xiǎng dào ……

林轩先是一呆，随后就大喜起来，他不过是随便问问，平心来说，根本就没有抱什么希望的，没想到……

Could it be that heaven was helping me?

nán dào zhēn shì shàng tiān zhù wǒ ？

难道真是上天助我？

The joy in Lin Xuan’s heart was evident as he took a deep breath, calming himself down: "Good, lead the way; we’re leaving now."

lín xuān xīn zhōng de gāo xìng kě xiǎng ér zhī ， shēn shēn hū xī ， cái jiāng jī dòng de xīn qíng píng fù xià qù ：“ hǎo ， nǐ men dài lù ， xiàn zài wǒ men jiù lí kāi cǐ chù 。”

林轩心中的高兴可想而知，深深呼吸，才将jī动的心情平复下去：“好，你们带路，现在我们就离开此处。”

"Shouldn’t we wait? This island is dangerous," the Four Companions of Yanshan were greatly surprised. They already knew about the dangers when they accepted the mission and had prepared for it.

“ xiàn zài jiù zǒu ， bù yòng ba ！”

“现在就走，不用吧！”

Moreover, despite the danger, the rewards were substantial.

yān shān sì yǒu què dà gǎn jīng è ， cǐ dǎo wēi xiǎn bú yòng shuō ， bù guò tā men jiē rèn wù de shí hòu bù jiù yǐ jīng xiǎo de ， yǒu xīn lǐ zhǔn bèi le me ？

燕山四友却大感惊愕，此岛危险不用说，不过他们接任务的时候不就已经晓得，有心理准备了么？

Besides, Lin Xuan wasn’t an婴期 cultivator; with his Separation Stage abilities, he could travel safely as long as he didn’t encounter a powerful old monster.

hé kuàng wēi xiǎn guī wēi xiǎn ， huí bào què yě shì zú gòu fēng hòu 。

何况危险归危险，回报却也是足够丰厚。

There weren’t many such beings in the East Sea. It was uncertain whether this island had any.

zài shuō ， yǎn qián de lín xuān ， kě bú shì yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ tā lí hé hòu qī de xiū wèi ， zhǐ yào bù yǔ dòng xuán qī lǎo guài xiá lù xiāng féng ， zú kě gāo zhěn wú yōu 。

再说，眼前的林轩，可不是元婴期修仙者，以他离合后期的修为，只要不与dòng玄期老怪狭路相逢，足可高枕无忧。

From this perspective, there was no need for him to fear anything.

fàng yǎn dōng hǎi ，dòng xuán qī cún zài cái jǐ gè ， zhè dǎo shàng yǒu méi yǒu dōu hái shì liǎng shuō 。

放眼东海，dòng玄期存在才几个，这岛上有没有都还是两说。

Seeing their blank expressions, Lin Xuan sighed. The Four Companions of Yanshan were fortunate; they hadn’t encountered formidable阴魂 or ghostly creatures along the way. They especially didn’t know about the significant changes he had experienced earlier.

cóng zhè ge yì yì lái jiǎng ， lín xuān gēn běn bù yòng hài pà shén me 。

从这个意义来讲，林轩根本不用害怕什么。

Ignorance breeds courage; it was perfectly normal for them to react this way.

jiàn sì rén liǎn shàng jiē shì máng rán zhī sè， lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， kàn lái yān shān sì yǒu yùn qì bù cuò ， yī lù shàng hái méi yǒu zāo yù guò lì hài de yīn hún guǐ wù ， gèng bú yào shuō shù gè shí chén yǐ qián ， zì jǐ suǒ jīng lì de dà biàn 。

见四人脸上皆是茫然之sè，林轩叹了口气，看来燕山四友运气不错，一路上还没有遭遇过厉害的yīn魂鬼物，更不要说数个时辰以前，自己所经历的大变。

Time was pressing, and Lin Xuan didn’t have the patience to explain everything in detail. A little delay could mean being caught by those阴魂 or ghostly creatures.

wú zhī zhě wú wèi ， tā men huì yǒu zhè yàng de fǎn yìng yě jiù shì hěn zhèng cháng de 。

无知者无畏，他们会有这样的反应也就是很正常的。

Of course, a brief explanation was necessary.

shí jiān jǐn pò ， lín xuān kě méi yǒu xīn qíng zài zhè lǐ màn màn jiě shì shén me ， yí gè yùn qì bù hǎo ， duō dān gē diǎn shí jiān ， shuō bù dìng jiù huì bèi nà xiē yīn hún guǐ wù zhuī shàng 。

时间紧迫，林轩可没有心情在这里慢慢解释什么，一个运气不好，多耽搁点时间，说不定就会被那些yīn魂鬼物追上。

"You don’t know what happened here. Even cultivators like us can barely protect ourselves; I’ll tell you more later. Lead the way to where that teleportation point appeared," Lin Xuan spoke with an不容置疑 tone.

dāng rán ， jiǎn dān jǐ jù jiāo dài hái shì yào de 。

当然，简单几句jiāo代还是要的。

The Four Companions of Yanshan exchanged glances, but hearing his serious words, they didn’t dare delay. The Yellow Court Sect nodded: "Alright, let’s go."

“ nǐ men bù xiǎo de ， cǐ dǎo yǐ jīng fā shēng dà biàn le ， bié shuō wǒ men zhè yàng de xiū xiān zhě ，dòng xuán jí de cún zài néng bù néng zì bǎo dōu shì liǎng shuō ， jù tǐ qíng kuàng yī huì er zài shuō ， nǐ men xiān dài lù ， qù nà chuán sòng diǎn chū xiàn zhī chù 。” lín xuān yòng bù róng zhì yí de yǔ qì kāi kǒu le 。

“你们不晓得，此岛已经发生大变了，别说我们这样的修仙者，dòng玄级的存在能不能自保都是两说，具体情况一会儿再说，你们先带路，去那传送点出现之处。”林轩用不容置疑的语气开口了。

Before he could finish speaking, a brilliant light enveloped him as he flew forward. The others did the same. Lin Xuan naturally followed.

yān shān sì yǒu tīng le ， bù yóu de miàn miàn xiāng qù ， bù guò tīng lín xuān shuō dé zhè me yán zhòng ， tā men dāng rán bù gǎn dài màn le ， huáng tíng zōng dāng jí diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ hǎo ， wǒ men zǒu 。”

燕山四友听了，不由得面面相觑，不过听林轩说得这么言重，他们当然不敢怠慢了，黄庭宗当即点了点头：“好，我们走。”

"Senior, what happened? With your strength, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Even an old monster at the婴期 might not be able to protect itself," Yellow Court Sect turned his head and asked with confusion while flying.

huà yīn wèi luò ， tā yǐ hún shēn jīng máng dà qǐ ， xiàng zhe qián fāng fēi lüè ér qù ， qí tā sān rén yě shì yī yàng dì ， lín xuān zì rán gèng bú huì dài màn shén me ， suí hòu gēn shàng qù le 。

话音未落，他已浑身jīng芒大起，向着前方飞掠而去，其他三人也是一样地，林轩自然更不会怠慢什么，随后跟上去了。

Postscript: Today’s weather is quite nice, and my mood is good. Could everyone add some more support by voting for me with monthly tickets? That would make me even happier! oo haha~
