第一千九百零二章大阵法与小阵法

Chapter 1902: Large Array Techniques and Small Array Techniques

hěn kuài ， yí gè yǐn mì de dòng kū jiù chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。

很快，一个隐秘的洞窟就出现在了视线里。

Soon, a hidden cave appeared in Lin Xuan's line of sight.

lín xuān guāng huá yī liǎn ， yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chén yín zhī sè ， gēn jù sōu hún dé lái de jié guǒ ， nà zhèn fǎ jiù zài qí zhōng 。

林轩光华一敛，以手抚额，脸上露出几分沉吟之色，根据搜魂得来的结果，那阵法就在其中。

Lin Xuan's expression turned thoughtful as he lightly touched his forehead. According to the results obtained from soul searching, the array technique was indeed within this cave.

lín xuān méi yǒu shī zhǎn yù fēng zhī shù ， ér shì píng zhe shuāng jiǎo zǒu jìn qù le 。

林轩没有施展御风之术，而是凭着双脚走进去了。

Instead of using his Wind Control Technique, Lin Xuan walked into the cave with just his feet.

shuō shì shān dòng ， miàn jī què fēi cháng guǎng kuò ， zú yǒu shù qiān zhàng 。

说是山洞，面积却非常广阔，足有数千丈。

Though called a mountain cave, its area was vast, stretching thousands of zhang in all directions.

lín xuān xiǎn de xiǎo xīn yì yì ， tā kě bù xiǎng yī bù liú shén ， jiù chù fā le shén me jìn zhì 。

林轩显得小心翼翼，他可不想一不留神，就触发了什么禁制。

Lin Xuan moved cautiously, not wanting to trigger any hidden restrictions by accident.

shān dòng lǐ ， luàn qī bā zāo de duī zhe yī xiē jù shí 。

山洞里，乱七八糟的堆着一些巨石。

Inside the cave, large rocks were haphazardly piled up. However, what stood out most prominently were columns made from white jade.

bù guò zuì xǐng mù dì ， què shì yī gēn gēn yóu bái yù duī qì chéng de zhù zi 。

不过最醒目的，却是一根根由白玉堆砌成的柱子。

The surface of these columns was embedded with Heart Core Stones.

zhù zi de biǎo miàn ， xiāng qiàn mǎn le tiān xīn shí 。

柱子的表面，镶嵌满了天心石。

After a rough count, Lin Xuan found there were one hundred and eight such columns arranged in an extremely peculiar pattern. There seemed to be some hidden meaning behind their placement, but he couldn't decipher it immediately.

lín xuān cū lüè yī shù ， zhè xiē zhù zi gòng yǒu yì bǎi líng bā gēn zhī duō 。

林轩粗略一数，这些柱子共有一百零八根之多。

Lin Xuan didn't feel like studying further; instead, he looked up at the center of the array technique where a trapezoidal stone platform stood. At its top was a faintly visible small array technique.

yǐ fēi cháng guǐ yì de fāng wèi pái liè zhe ， qí zhōng sì hū hán yǒu shén me xuán jī ， rán ér yī shí piàn kè ， tā gēn běn jiù kàn bù dǒng 。

以非常诡异的方位排列着，其中似乎含有什么玄机，然而一时片刻，他根本就看不懂。

Yes, there was no mistake—within this large array technique, there was also a smaller one.

lín xuān yě méi yǒu xīn qíng yán jiū ， ér shì tái qǐ tóu ， zài nà zhèn fǎ de zhōng xīn ， yǒu yī zuò tī xíng de shí tái ， shí tái dǐng duān ， hái yǒu yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de zhèn fǎ ruò yǐn ruò xiàn 。

林轩也没有心情研究，而是抬起头，在那阵法的中心，有一座梯形的石台，石台顶端，还有一个小小的阵法若隐若现。

A composite array!

duì ， méi yǒu kàn cuò ， jiù shì zài dà de zhèn fǎ zhī zhōng ， hái tào zhe yí gè xiǎo de zhèn fǎ 。

对，没有看错，就是在大的阵法之中，还套着一个小的阵法。

Having a broad knowledge of cultivation arts, Lin Xuan had quite an in-depth understanding of array techniques. Although he couldn't match true masters, he certainly wasn’t a beginner.

fù hé zhī zhèn ！

复合之阵！

The two arrays were independent yet interdependent, their complexities hard to explain in a short moment. Outside the main array technique was a layer of white misty light.

xiū xiān bǎi yì ， lín xuān shè liè pǒ wèi guǎng bó ， yóu qí shì duì zhèn fǎ ， gèng yǒu zhe jiào wéi shēn rù de yán jiū ， suī rán wú fǎ yǔ zhēn zhèng de zhèn fǎ zōng shī xiāng bǐ ， dàn yě jué bú shì cài niǎo nà yàng de děng jí 。

修仙百艺，林轩涉猎颇为广博，尤其是对阵法，更有着较为深入的研究，虽然无法与真正的阵法宗师相比，但也绝不是菜鸟那样的等级。

This was a protective restriction set for the array technique.

liǎng gè zhèn fǎ hù bù tǒng shǔ ， què yòu xiāng shēng xiāng kè ， qí zhōng xuán ào ， yī shí piàn kè ， gēn běn jiù shuō bù qīng chǔ ， ér zài zhèn fǎ wài ， hái yǒu yī céng bái méng méng de guāng mù 。

两个阵法互不统属，却又相生相克，其中玄奥，一时片刻，根本就说不清楚，而在阵法外，还有一层白蒙蒙的光幕。

Clearly, one needed to break this barrier first before entering. Through soul searching, Lin Xuan knew that it wouldn't be an easy task.

zhè shì duì zhèn fǎ suǒ shè xià de jìn zhì bǎo hù 。

这是对阵法所设下的禁制保护。

Attacking with too little force would be useless. Conversely, using excessive power might destroy the internal array technique as well.

xiǎn rán ， yào jìn rù lǐ miàn ， bì xū xiān jiāng zhè guāng zhào pò chú ， kě tōng guò sōu hún shù lín xuān yǐ jīng qīng chǔ ， zhè bìng fēi yī xiàng róng yì de gōng zuò 。

显然，要进入里面，必须先将这光罩破除，可通过搜魂术林轩已经清楚，这并非一项容易的工作。

In short, mastering the right force was difficult. The command talisman controlling this restriction was carried by the law enforcement elder from the Holy City.

gōng jī de lì liàng xiǎo le ， méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。

攻击的力量小了，没有用处。

This situation had been mentioned before by the Toxic Dragon Ancestor. Lin Xuan confirmed it through soul searching.

xiāng fǎn ， shǐ yòng de lì liàng tài guò páng bó ， zé yǒu kě néng jiāng lǐ miàn de zhèn fǎ yě yì qǐ pò huài diào le 。

相反，使用的力量太过磅礴，则有可能将里面的阵法也一起破坏掉了。

That was troublesome!

zǒng zhī ， zhè zhōng jiān de lì dào hěn nán zhǎng wò ， ér kòng zhì cǐ jìn zhì de lìng fú ， zé yóu nà wèi lái zì shèng chéng de zhí fǎ zhǎng lǎo suí shēn dài zhe 。

总之，这中间的力道很难掌握，而控制此禁制的令符，则由那位来自圣城的执法长老随身带着。

But Lin Xuan wouldn't be discouraged by such a small setback.

zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， dú lóng lǎo zǔ céng jīng jiǎng guò ， ér tōng guò sōu hún zhī shù ， lín xuān cóng gāng gāng nà sān míng xiū shì de jì yì zhōng ， yě jìn yí bù zhèng shí 。

这种情况，毒龙老祖曾经讲过，而通过搜魂之术，林轩从刚刚那三名修士的记忆中，也进一步证实。

Good things take time!

zhè dǎo shì má fán shì ！

这倒是麻烦事！

Lin Xuan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to give it a try.

bù guò lín xuān dāng rán bú huì yīn wèi zhè diǎn xiǎo cuò zhé jiù qì něi de 。

不过林轩当然不会因为这点小挫折就气馁的。

He extended his hand and flicked his fingers, releasing several sword qi that swelled with the wind. They formed a giant sword over seven zhang long, which he slashed forward.

hǎo shì duō mó ！

好事多磨！

Puff…

lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， lüè yī chóu chú ， zhōng yú jué dìng xiān shì shì zài shuō 。

林轩眉头一皱，略一踌躇，终于决定先试试再说。

It was as if the sword had fallen into the sea without stirring any waves.

shēn chū shǒu lái ， qū zhǐ lián dàn ， yī lián shù dào jiàn qì fú xiàn ， yíng fēng bào zhǎng ， huà wèi qī bā zhàng zhǎng de jù jiàn ， lián chéng yī xiàn ， hěn hěn de zhǎn xiàng le qián miàn 。

伸出手来，屈指连弹，一连数道剑气浮现，迎风暴涨，化为七八丈长的巨剑，连成一线，狠狠的斩向了前面。

Lin Xuan's expression changed. Though he hadn't used full power, this attack was merely a test but still incredibly powerful—only late-stage Separation Realm cultivators dared to face it head-on. The light barrier showed no reaction despite its immense destructive force. This defense was truly astonishing.

pū ……

噗……

Although his treasures were at hand, Lin Xuan knew that controlling the right amount of force would be challenging. He might accidentally destroy the array technique.

fǎng fú ní niú rù hǎi ， méi yǒu xiān qǐ yī sī bō lán 。

仿佛泥牛入海，没有掀起一丝波澜。

That old guy had really set a tricky dilemma for him.

lín xuān liǎn sè yī biàn ， suī shuō tā méi yǒu quán lì chū shǒu ， zhè yī jī jǐn jǐn shì shì tàn ， dàn wēi lì yě fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， biàn shì lí hé hòu qī xiū shì yě bù gǎn yìng jiē de ， guāng mù jū rán yì diǎn fǎn yìng yě méi yǒu ， zhè fáng yù yě wèi miǎn tài jīng rén le

林轩脸色一变，虽说他没有全力出手，这一击仅仅是试探，但威力也非同小可，便是离合后期修士也不敢硬接的，光幕居然一点反应也没有，这防御也未免太惊人了

But Lin Xuan wouldn't give up. His character was inherently resilient, and he had endured so much hardship to gain this advantage. This small challenge meant nothing.

suī rán zì jǐ bǎo wù jǐn chū ， kěn dìng néng jiāng yǎn qián de jìn zhì pò chú ， dàn lì dào hěn nán zhǎng wò ， huì bú huì jiāng zhèn fǎ huǐ qù kě jiù liǎng shuō 。

虽然自己宝物尽出，肯定能将眼前的禁制破除，但力道很难掌握，会不会将阵法毁去可就两说。

As the saying goes: where there's a will, there's a way. Lin Xuan would certainly find a solution.

nà lǎo jiā huǒ ， zhēn shì hǎo zhòng de xīn jī ， shè xià zhè zhǒng lìng rén tóu téng de liǎng nán zhī jú 。

那老家伙，真是好重的心机，设下这种令人头疼的两难之局。

Using his treasure, controlling force proved difficult. Lin Xuan exhaled a burst of demonic energy, raised his right hand, and transformed it into a sharp claw.

bù guò lín xuān dāng rán bú huì fàng qì ， tā de xìng gé běn jiù jiān rèn wú bǐ ， hé kuàng zì jǐ wèi le tú móu yǎn qián de hǎo chù ， chī le nà me duō de kǔ ， yǎn qián zhè diǎn nán tí yòu suàn dé le shén me 。

不过林轩当然不会放弃，他的性格本就坚韧无比，何况自己为了图谋眼前的好处，吃了那么多的苦，眼前这点难题又算得了什么。

He then swung it at the light barrier, though not entirely without effect, he failed to break through it.

suǒ wèi chē dào shān qián bì yǒu lù ， lín xuān shì kěn dìng néng gòu xiǎng chū bàn fǎ jiě jué de 。

所谓车到山前必有路，林轩是肯定能够想出办法解决的。

"Turns out it's even more troublesome than I imagined."

shǐ yòng fǎ bǎo lì dào nán yǐ zhǎng wò ， lín xuān hún shēn shàng xià yāo qì pēn bó ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yǐ jīng biàn chéng le fēng ruì de zhuǎ zi 。

使用法宝力道难以掌握，林轩浑身上下妖气喷薄，右手抬起，已经变成了锋锐的爪子。

Lin Xuan's eyebrows rose as light danced around. The Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire appeared in his palm and spread rapidly, enveloping the demonic claw.

rán hòu yī wǔ ， xiàng zhe qián miàn de guāng mù hěn hěn cì luò ， bù néng shuō méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， dàn yī jiù méi yǒu jiāng qí zhuā pò 。

然后一舞，向着前面的光幕狠狠刺落，不能说没有效果，但依旧没有将其抓破。

This fire was incredibly powerful but harmless to Lin Xuan himself. It merged with the demon claw, tearing through the barrier once again.

“ jū rán bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào nán chán dé duō 。”

“居然比自己想象的还要难缠得多。”

Sizzle…

lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ， huàn líng tiān huǒ zài zhǎng xīn zhōng fú xiàn chū lái ， xùn sù màn yán ， jiāng zhěng gè yāo huà hòu de lì zhuǎ bāo guǒ 。

林轩眉头一挑，光晕流转，幻灵天火在掌心中浮现出来，迅速蔓延，将整个妖化后的利爪包裹。

There was no suspense this time. The Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire, combined with a secret technique from the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Art, tore through the light barrier. However, the hole was only one zhang wide and couldn't accommodate a person.

cǐ huǒ wēi lì wú bǐ ， dàn duì lín xuān zì jǐ ， dāng rán méi yǒu shā shāng lì ， yǔ yāo zhǎo hé èr wéi yī ， zài cì cháo zhe qián fāng sī chě ér qù 。

此火威力无比，但对林轩自己，当然没有杀伤力，与妖爪合二为一，再次朝着前方撕扯而去。

Lin Xuan's eyebrows raised as he quickly shrunk in size.

cī lā ……

刺啦……

Divine techniques were miraculous; if there was a spell to enlarge his body by ten times, there must be one that could shrink it too.

zhè yī cì ， sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， huàn líng tiān huǒ pèi hé fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué zhōng de mì shù ， sī chě kāi le yǎn qián de guāng mù ， bù guò kǒu zi jǐn yǒu yī chǐ ， hái bù néng róng yī rén tōng guò 。

这一次，丝毫悬念也无，幻灵天火配合凤舞九天诀中的秘术，撕扯开了眼前的光幕，不过口子仅有一尺，还不能容一人通过。

Without hesitation, Lin Xuan easily entered the light barrier.

lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， shēn xíng dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， xùn sù suō xiǎo 。

林轩眉头一挑，身形滴溜溜一转，迅速缩小。

He then waved his sleeve and summoned the spirit beast pouch, releasing the Toxic Dragon Ancestor.

xiān shù shén qí ， jì rán yǒu jù dà shù zhè yàng kě yǐ jiāng shēn qū biàn dà shí yú bèi de fǎ shù ， dāng rán yě yǒu fǎn qí dào ér xíng zhī de shén tōng 。

仙术神奇，既然有巨大术这样可以将身躯变大十余倍的法术，当然也有反其道而行之的神通。

"Go ahead and clear the way."

lín xuān sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， qīng sōng jìn rù le guāng mù 。

林轩丝毫悬念也无，轻松进入了光幕。

Time was short now. Lin Xuan had no patience for formalities. With the old monster's soul trapped in his hand, he could easily take its life if needed. The other party wouldn't dare to play tricks unless absolutely necessary.

suí hòu xiù páo yī fú ， líng shòu dài jì qǐ ， jiāng dú lóng lǎo zǔ fàng chū 。

随后袖袍一拂，灵兽袋祭起，将毒龙老祖放出。

"Yes."

“ nǐ zài qián miàn kāi lù 。”

“你在前面开路。”

With the Toxic Dragon Ancestor's deep-seated resentment barely concealed on his face, he was too much of a target if any traps or restrictions were encountered. However, what could he do?

rú jīn shí jiān bù duō ， lín xuān yǐ lǎn de xū yǔ wēi yí ， fǎn zhèng zhè lǎo guài wù de hún pò ， bèi zì jǐ jū jìn zài shǒu ， yào tā xiǎo mìng ， zài qīng sōng bù guò ， bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， duì fāng shì jué bù gǎn shuǎ xiǎo huā zhāo de 。

如今时间不多，林轩已懒得虚与委蛇，反正这老怪物的魂魄，被自己拘禁在手，要他小命，再轻松不过，不到万不得已，对方是绝不敢耍小花招的。

Even a fierce snake had to bow its head when under someone else's roof. Knowing that Lin Xuan treated him as cannon fodder, the old monster could only grit his teeth and charge forward.

“ shì 。”

“是。”

Fortunately, the old monster was lucky. Or perhaps Lin Xuan was too cautious. After entering the array technique, they encountered no danger.

yǐ dú lóng lǎo zǔ de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng de yuàn dú yě yǒu xiē yǎn shì bú zhù ， duì fāng tài guò fèn le ， míng mù zhāng dǎn de jiāng zì jǐ dàng zuò tàn lù de shí zǐ ， rú guǒ yù jiàn shén me xiàn jǐng jìn zhì ， dì yí gè dǎo méi de jiù shì zì jǐ 。

以毒龙老祖的城府，脸上的怨毒也有些掩饰不住，对方太过分了，明目张胆的将自己当做探路的石子，如果遇见什么陷阱禁制，第一个倒霉的就是自己。

After all, setting traps here would be redundant. A wrong move might interfere with the array's operation, which wouldn't be beneficial at all.

rán ér nù guī nù ， tā yòu néng zěn me yàng ne ？

然而怒归怒，他又能怎么样呢？

Soon, both of them reached the jade steps.

dú shé zài xiōng měng ， qī cùn zài bié rén de shǒu zhōng yě zhǐ yǒu fǔ shǒu tīng cóng 。

毒蛇再凶猛，七寸在别人的手中也只有俯首听从。

The small array technique before their eyes was more intricate than those seen in the past in the Aushora Palace by the Indeterminate River. However, it was simpler overall.

rén zài wū yán xià ， bù dé bù dī tóu ， míng zhī dào lín xuān jiāng zì jǐ dàng chéng pào huī ， tā yě zhǐ yǒu yìng qǐ tóu pí ， yí bù yí bù de wǎng qián chōng 。

人在屋檐下，不得不低头，明知道林轩将自己当成炮灰，他也只有硬起头皮，一步一步的往前冲。

In general, it resembled a teleportation array.

hǎo zài lǎo guài wù yùn qì bù cuò ， huò zhě shuō ， lín xuān tài guò xiǎo xīn le ， jìn rù zhèn fǎ yǐ hòu ， dào méi yǒu yù jiàn shén me wēi xiǎn 。

好在老怪物运气不错，或者说，林轩太过小心了，进入阵法以后，倒没有遇见什么危险。

At the center of the array stood a fist-sized demon core, and the entire array was now complete, with crystal stones embedded everywhere, all of them being top-grade crystals.

xiǎng xiǎng yě shì ， zài zhè lǐ bù zhì xiàn jǐng jìn zhì ， nà bú shì duō cǐ yī jǔ ， yí gè bù hǎo ， hái yǒu kě néng gān rǎo zhèn fǎ de yùn xíng ， nà bú shì dé bù cháng shī 。

想想也是，在这里布置陷阱禁制，那不是多此一举，一个不好，还有可能干扰阵法的运行，那不是得不偿失。

"Master, as long as you place the Heart Core Stone of the Heavenly Heart Toad into the groove, the whole array will activate."

hěn kuài liǎng rén jiù lái dào le yù shí tái jiē shàng miàn 。

很快两人就来到了玉石台阶上面。

The Toxic Dragon Ancestor's eyes sparkled with excitement. After centuries of effort, this moment finally arrived. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be the one to benefit; it would be his enemy instead. The thought made him want to cry—such a cruel twist of fate.

yìng rù yǎn qián de xiǎo zhèn fǎ yào jīng qiǎo dé duō ， yǔ xī rì zài wú dìng hé ā xiū luó wáng xíng gōng kàn jiàn de lüè yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。

映入眼前的小阵法要精巧得多，与昔日在无定河阿修罗王行宫看见的略有几分相似之处。

"Hmm."

bù guò hái shì yào jiǎn dān yī xiē de 。

不过还是要简单一些的。

Lin Xuan nodded. As the beneficiary, he was more composed than the Toxic Dragon Ancestor. He waved his sleeve and sent out the fist-sized demon core.

zǒng tǐ lái shuō ， yǔ chuán sòng zhèn yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù 。

总体来说，与传送阵有几分相似之处。

However, this demon core was vastly different from ordinary ones and even Heart Core Stones. Its shape resembled diamonds, but it was colored in five hues.

zài zhèn fǎ de zhōng jiān ， yǒu yī quán tou dà xiǎo de yāo dān ， chú cǐ yǐ wài zhěng gè zhèn fǎ dōu yǐ jīng wán chéng le 。

在阵法的中间，有一拳头大小的妖丹，除此以外整个阵法都已经完成了。

Without hesitation, Lin Xuan bent down to feel the immense power within the Heavenly Heart Toad's inner core before embedding it into the groove of the array technique.

lián jīng shí dōu xiāng qiàn wán bì ， ér qiě suǒ yòng de ， dōu shì jí pǐn jīng shí 。

连晶石都镶嵌完毕，而且所用的，都是极品晶石。

Woo…

“ zhǔ rén ， zhǐ yào jiāng tiān xīn chán wáng de nèi dān ， fàng rù āo cáo ， zhěng gè zhèn fǎ jiù néng qǐ dòng 。”

“主人，只要将天心蟾王的内丹，放入凹槽，整个阵法就能启动。”

An eerie voice echoed as the entire array suddenly lit up like mercury pouring out.
