yī dào jīng hóng yóu yuǎn jí jìn ， piàn kè hòu ， zài yī chù shān gǔ jiàng luò xià lái 。
一道惊虹由远及近，片刻后，在一处山谷降落下来。
A shocking rainbow streaked from afar, and soon it descended into a valley.
guāng huá shōu liǎn ， xiàn chū le yí gè shào nián de shēn yǐng 。
光华收敛，现出了一个少年的身影。
The radiance faded, revealing the silhouette of a young man.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu mǎ shàng jìn rù yīn shī gǔ ， ér shì dǎ liàng zhe wài miàn suǒ yíng rào de bái wù ， liǎn shàng lù chū le ruò yǒu suǒ sī de shén sè 。
林轩并没有马上进入阴尸谷，而是打量着外面所萦绕的白雾，脸上露出了若有所思的神色。
Lin Xuan didn't immediately enter Drifting Cloud Valley but instead sized up the white mist that surrounded it. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
shì huān xǐ ， dàn yòu yǒu yì diǎn yí huò ， zhè shī wù rú cǐ zhī nóng ， nán dào gè dà shì lì hái méi yǒu pài rén lái zhǎo xún guò nà xiē tàn zi me ？
似欢喜，但又有一点疑惑，这尸雾如此之浓，难道各大势力还没有派人来找寻过那些探子么？
It seemed he was happy, yet there was also some doubt. The fog was so thick; hadn’t major factions already sent people to search for those scouts?
bù guò jì rán shī wù yī jiù ， zhèng míng lǐ miàn de jiāng shī hái ān rán cún zài zhe 。
不过既然尸雾依旧，证明里面的僵尸还安然存在着。
However, since the corpse mist remained, it proved that the zombies were still intact inside.
chén yín le yī xià ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī jiāo qiào kě rén de shào nǚ chū xiàn zài le bàn kōng zhōng 。
沉吟了一下，林轩袖袍一拂，一娇俏可人的少女出现在了半空中。
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves and conjured a charming young girl into mid-air.
“ shào yé ！”
“少爷！”
"Master!"
yòng bù zhe fēn fù ， xuè qì ràng liǎng rén xīn yì xiāng tōng ， yuè ér xiàng lín xuān xíng le yī lǐ ， jiù huà shēn jìn rù le shān gǔ 。
用不着吩咐，血契让两人心意相通，月儿像林轩行了一礼，就化身进入了山谷。
Without needing an order, Blood Oath made their minds resonate. Moonlight bowed to Lin Xuan before transforming into her true form and entering the valley.
tā shì yīn líng zhī tǐ ， zhè shī wù duì qí méi yǒu yǐng xiǎng ， xiān jìn qù dǎ tàn yī fān qíng kuàng 。
她是阴灵之体，这尸雾对其没有影响，先进去打探一番情况。
She was a Yin Spirit body; this corpse mist had no effect on her. She would go in first to gather information.
bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， yuè ér cóng lǐ miàn chū lái ， lǐ le lǐ xiù fà 。
半个时辰以后，月儿从里面出来，理了理秀发。
Half an hour later, Moonlight emerged from inside, smoothing down her hair.
“ shào yé ， lǐ miàn yī qiè rú gù ， jiāng shī dōu hái hǎo hǎo de dài zhe ， zhǐ shì shàng cì nà xiē rén yǐ jīng liǎo rán wú zōng ， bù zhī sǐ huó 。”
“少爷，里面一切如故，僵尸都还好好的待着，只是上次那些人已经了然无踪，不知死活。”
"Master, everything is as it was. The zombies are still there, but those people who were here last time have vanished without a trace. I don’t know their fate."
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu 。 jiāng yuè ér yī shōu 。 zì jǐ yě jìn rù le shān gǔ 。 tā bìng méi yǒu qù jiāng shī dòng 。 ér shì shú mén shú lù dì lái dào yī kāi kuò zhī chù 。
林轩点点头。将月儿一收。自己也进入了山谷。他并没有去僵尸洞。而是熟门熟路地来到一开阔之处。
Lin Xuan nodded and put away Moonlight. He entered the valley himself. Instead of going to the zombie lair, he headed to an open space between two cliffs.
liǎng biān dōu shì xuán yá 。 dàn zhōng jiān què yǒu hǎo dà yī piàn kòng dì 。 zhǎng kuān jiē yǒu shù shí zhàng 。 zhōng jiān yě méi yǒu guài shí 。 shù mù zhī lèi dì zhàng ài wù 。 zhèng shì zì jǐ suǒ xū dì lǐ xiǎng chǎng suǒ 。
两边都是悬崖。但中间却有好大一片空地。长宽皆有数十丈。中间也没有怪石。树木之类地障碍物。正是自己所需地理想场所。
The area was vast, with dozens of meters in length and width, free from obstacles like rocks or trees. It was just what he needed.
lín xuān yī pāi chǔ wù dài 。 jiāng jǐ bǐng yán sè gè yì dì zhèn qí qǔ le chū lái 。
林轩一拍储物袋。将几柄颜色各异地阵旗取了出来。
Lin Xuan tapped his storage pouch and took out several differently colored array flags.
jí yīn è líng zhèn ！
极阴恶灵阵！
Netherworldly Evil Spirit Array!
mó shā zhuó shǒu zhōng dì bǎo wù 。 lín xuān liǎn shàng xiàn chū yī sī dé sè 。 yǔ zhèn fú shì yí cì xìng dì xiāo hào pǐn bù tóng 。 bù zhèn qì jù zhǐ yào méi yǒu sǔn huài kě yǐ duō cì shǐ yòng 。 zhǐ xū yào dìng qī wǎng lǐ miàn tián chōng zú gòu dì jīng shí jiù xíng le 。
磨砂着手中地宝物。林轩脸上现出一丝得色。与阵符是一次性地消耗品不同。布阵器具只要没有损坏可以多次使用。只需要定期往里面填充足够地晶石就行了。
Running his fingers over the treasure in his hand, Lin Xuan's face lit up with satisfaction. Unlike disposable array talismans, these tools could be reused as long as they weren't damaged, requiring only regular replenishment of crystal stones.
jiāng shǒu zhōng de qīng sè zhèn qí yī pāo ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ！ bù hǎo 。
将手中的青色阵旗一抛，一道法诀打出！布好。
He threw a green-colored array flag and cast a spell! The array was set up.
bì jìng cǐ dì de jiāng shī bù lùn zhì liàng ， shù liàng dōu fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn jiè zhù zhèn fǎ de bāng zhù 。 bǔ zhuō qǐ lái yīng gāi hěn róng yì le 。
毕竟此地的僵尸不论质量，数量都非同小可，但借助阵法的帮助。捕捉起来应该很容易了。
---
jiāng zhèn fǎ bù hǎo yǐ hòu ， lín xuān yòu zài zhōu wéi shī yǐ le jǐ gè zhàng yǎn fǎ ， jiāng wài yì de yì diǎn diǎn líng lì bō dòng yě píng bì ， cā le cā hàn shuǐ ， kàn zhe zì jǐ dì jié zuò ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū le mǎn yì zhī sè 。
将阵法布好以后，林轩又在周围施以了几个障眼法，将外溢的一点点灵力波动也屏蔽，擦了擦汗水，看着自己地杰作，林轩脸上露出了满意之色。
With the help of this array, capturing the zombies should be much easier, even though their quality and quantity were formidable.
suí hòu ， tā shēn xíng yī huǎng ， shī zhǎn yù fēng zhī shù 。 qián wǎng jiāng shī dòng le 。
随后，他身形一晃，施展御风之术。前往僵尸洞了。
After setting up the array, Lin Xuan cast several illusionary spells around to shield any stray fluctuations in his energy. He wiped his sweat and looked at his work with a satisfied expression.
shàng yī cì ， zì jǐ qù de shì qí zhōng zuì dà de yí gè ， lǐ miàn jiāng shī de shén tōng yě zuì gāo ， shèn zhì yǒu liǎng jù yǐ jīng néng gòu pǐ dí zhù jī hòu qī de xiū zhēn zhě 。
上一次，自己去的是其中最大的一个，里面僵尸的神通也最高，甚至有两具已经能够匹敌筑基后期的修真者。
Then, he moved swiftly, using Wind Control Technique to head towards the zombie lair.
ér zài qí zhōu wéi ， hái yǒu yī xiē xiǎo de jiāng shī dòng ， lín xuān zhǐ liàn chéng le tiān mó guǐ shī shù de dì yī céng 。 zhuō xiē xiū wèi jiào dī de jiāng shī jiù kě yǐ le 。
而在其周围，还有一些小的僵尸洞，林轩只炼成了天魔鬼尸术的第一层。捉些修为较低的僵尸就可以了。
The last time, he had gone to the largest one, where the zombies' powers were the highest, even two of them capable of matching late Foundation Establishment cultivators.
tū rán ， lín xuān shēn xíng yī dùn ， tíng le xià lái 。
突然，林轩身形一顿，停了下来。
Around it, there were smaller lairs. Lin Xuan only mastered the first layer of Devilish Corpse Technique. Capturing weaker zombies would suffice.
zài tā dì zuǒ cè ， yǒu yī kuài shù rén gāo de jù shí ， tōng tǐ yǒu hēi ， qǐ mǎ yǒu qī bā wàn jīn zhòng 。
在他地左侧，有一块数人高的巨石，通体黝黑，起码有七八万斤重。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan paused.
shǒu mó shàng qù ， yǒu yī zhǒng yìng bāng bāng ， lěng bīng bīng de gǎn jué ， yǔ yì bān yán shí de chù gǎn wán quán bù tóng 。 fǎn ér gèng xiàng shì tiě kuài gòu chéng de 。
手模上去，有一种硬邦邦，冷冰冰的感觉，与一般岩石的触感完全不同。反而更像是铁块构成的。
To his left was a massive stone several meters high, completely black and weighing at least seven or eight ten-thousand catties.
tiě shí ！
铁石！
When he touched it, there was a hard, cold sensation unlike any ordinary rock. It felt more like iron.
gù míng sī yì 。 zhè zhǒng yán shí jiān yìng yǐ jí ， shèn zhì yǔ tiě xiāng bǐ ， dōu hái yào shèng shàng sān fēn ， tā de jīng huá bù fèn ， shèn zhì kě yǐ zuò wéi liàn zhì líng qì dì zhòng yào cái liào 。
顾名思义。这种岩石坚硬以极，甚至与铁相比，都还要胜上三分，它的精华部分，甚至可以作为炼制灵器地重要材料。
Ironstone!
kě jiù shì zhè zhǒng zhòng dá shù wàn jīn de jiān yìng yán shí ， què yǒu sān fēn zhī yī bèi hōng chéng le suì xiè 。 zhè kě bú shì zhù jī qī xiū shì néng zuò dào de 。
可就是这种重达数万斤的坚硬岩石，却有三分之一被轰成了碎屑。这可不是筑基期修士能做到的。
As the name suggested, this rock was incredibly hard, even surpassing iron by three parts. Its essence could be used as an important material for refining spiritual artifacts.
lín xuān liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī lǚ yīn mái ， jiē zhe shēn chū shǒu lái ， qīng qīng zài shàng miàn fǔ mō ， jí shǐ shèng yú de wán zhěng bù fèn ， yě bèi zhuā chū le jí shēn de zhǎo hén 。
林轩脸上闪过一缕阴霾，接着伸出手来，轻轻在上面抚摸，即使剩余的完整部分，也被抓出了极深的爪痕。
Yet, one-third of this heavy stone had been shattered, something a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't achieve.
lín xuān de liǎn sè yuè fā nàn kàn le qǐ lái 。
林轩的脸色越发难看了起来。
A frown appeared on Lin Xuan's face. He reached out and gently touched the remaining part, leaving deep claw marks even there.
jiǎn qǐ dì shàng suì kāi de tiě shí kàn le kàn ， sì hū yǒu xiē chóu chú 。
拣起地上碎开的铁石看了看，似乎有些踌躇。
Lin Xuan's expression darkened further as he picked up the broken ironstone pieces and hesitated for a moment.
dàn jǐn jǐn shì lüè yī yóu yù ， lín xuān de shēn xíng chóng xīn qǐ dòng ， huà wèi yī dào lán sè de guāng yǐng ， xiāo shī zài mí wù zhōng 。
但仅仅是略一犹豫，林轩的身形重新起动，化为一道蓝色的光影，消失在迷雾中。
But after only a brief pause, Lin Xuan moved again, transforming into a blue blur that vanished in the mist.
piàn kè hòu 。 lín xuān lái dào le yī chù jué bì dì miàn qián 。
片刻后。林轩来到了一处绝壁地面前。
A short while later, Lin Xuan stood before an sheer cliff face.
zhè shì yī zuò jù dà dì shān mài 。 yī yǎn wàng bú dào biān ， zài tā dǐ bù 。 fēn bù zhe dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de shān dòng ， měi yí gè shān dòng de jiān jù yě bù yí yàng ， yǒu de xiāng gé qī bā zhàng ， yǒu de zé xiāng jù jí yuǎn ， zú yǒu bǎi zhàng zhī yáo 。
这是一座巨大地山脉。一眼望不到边，在它底部。分布着大大小小的山洞，每一个山洞的间距也不一样，有的相隔七八丈，有的则相距极远，足有百丈之遥。
It was a vast mountain range stretching to the horizon. At its base were numerous caves of varying sizes, with some spaced several meters apart and others as far as a hundred meters away.
lín xuān qǔ chū yī kē yǐn líng dān fú xià ， rán hòu jiān tóu yī huǎng ， shēn shàng hēi máng yī shǎn ， zhěng gè rén de shēng qì lì kè bèi yǐn cáng le qǐ lái 。
林轩取出一颗隐灵丹服下，然后肩头一晃，身上黑芒一闪，整个人的生气立刻被隐藏了起来。
Lin Xuan swallowed a Concealment Pill, then his shoulders shook, and black light flashed over him, hiding all signs of life.
zì jǐ lái zhè lǐ ， zhǐ bù guò shì yǐn yī xiē xiǎo guài ， kě bù xiǎng jiāng nà xiē shén tōng lì hài dì jiāng shī yě gěi nòng chū lái 。
自己来这里，只不过是引一些小怪，可不想将那些神通厉害地僵尸也给弄出来。
He came here just to lure minor monsters but didn't want to awaken the powerful zombies.
suí hòu lín xuān tiāo le yī zuò gū líng líng de shān dòng 。
随后林轩挑了一座孤零零的山洞。
Choosing an isolated cave, Lin Xuan set up a layer of soundproofing restrictions. Then he reached into his storage belt and took out a lively rooster.
xiān zài zhōu wéi bù xià yī céng gé yīn jìn zhì ， rán hòu shǒu zài yāo jiān de chǔ wù dài zhōng yī pāi ， zhǎng zhōng yǐ duō le yī huó bèng luàn tiào de shì wù lái ， bù guò nà kě bú shì shén me yāo shòu ， zhǐ bù guò shì yī dà gōng jī bà le 。
先在周围布下一层隔音禁制，然后手在腰间的储物袋中一拍，掌中已多了一活蹦乱跳的事物来，不过那可不是什么妖兽，只不过是一大公鸡罢了。
A serious expression appeared on Lin Xuan's face as he rubbed his thumb over the rooster’s body.
lín xuān liǎn shàng xiàn chū yī sī zhèng zhòng zhī sè ， shí zhǐ yī cuō ， yī dào lán guāng jiù mò rù dào le gōng jī de shēn tǐ zhī zhōng 。
林轩脸上现出一丝郑重之色，食指一搓，一道蓝光就没入到了公鸡的身体之中。
Next, he flipped his left hand open to reveal a small jade bottle from which he extracted a black pill, feeding it to the rooster.
rán hòu lín xuān yòu yī fān zuǒ shǒu ， yòu qǔ chū le yí gè xiǎo qiǎo de yù píng lái 。
然后林轩又一翻左手，又取出了一个小巧的玉瓶来。
Releasing the bird, it didn't run around but instead entered the zombie lair with an eerie red glow in its eyes.
cóng lǐ miàn dào chù yī kē hēi sè de yào wán ， wèi nà gōng jī fú xià 。
从里面到处一颗黑色的药丸，喂那公鸡服下。
Lin Xuan stood outside with his arms crossed, his expression grave.
rán hòu sōng kāi shǒu ， gōng jī huò dé le zì yóu ， què bìng méi yǒu luàn pǎo ， fǎn ér yǎn zhōng chū xiàn le yī sī guǐ yì de hóng máng ， jiù zhè me zì jǐ zǒu jìn le jiāng shī dòng 。
然后松开手，公鸡获得了自由，却并没有乱跑，反而眼中出现了一丝诡异的红芒，就这么自己走进了僵尸洞。
Soon, a low growl and the rooster's cackles echoed from inside. They quickly faded away.
lín xuān zé bào zhe shuāng shǒu ， shén sè níng zhòng de zài wài miàn zhàn zhe 。
林轩则抱着双手，神色凝重的在外面站着。
A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face. Thankfully, he had set up a soundproof barrier; as long as there was no significant energy fluctuation, nearby zombies wouldn't be alerted.
hěn kuài ， lǐ miàn chuán lái yī shēng dī hǒu ， hái yǒu gōng jī gē gē dì míng jiào ， bù guò què xùn sù dì xiāo shī le 。
很快，里面传来一声低吼，还有公鸡咯咯地鸣叫，不过却迅速地消失了。
The growling grew louder, then mixed with a gust of cold wind as two green-haired monsters emerged. Their fingers were hooked like claws, and their faces resembled skulls, their appearance terrifying. However, Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief; they were just two mid-Flexible Spirit zombies.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī dé sè ， hái hǎo zì jǐ yǒu xiān jiàn zhī míng ， xiān bù xià le gé yīn zhào ， zhǐ yào méi yǒu tài dà de líng lì bō dòng ， shì bú huì jīng dòng fù jìn qí tā jiāng shī dì 。
林轩脸上露出一丝得色，还好自己有先见之明，先布下了隔音罩，只要没有太大的灵力波动，是不会惊动附近其他僵尸地。
The black fog around him dissipated.
nà hǒu jiào yuè fā de xiǎng liàng le qǐ lái ， rán hòu jiā zá zhe yī gǔ yīn fēng ， chōng chū le liǎng tóu shēn cháng lǜ máo de guài wù ， shí zhǐ rú gōu ， liǎn shì kū lóu ， xíng mào zhēng níng yǐ jí ， rán ér lín xuān què fǎn ér sōng le kǒu qì ， jǐn jǐn shì liǎng gè xiāng dāng yú líng dòng zhōng qī shí lì de xiǎo jiāng shī 。
那吼叫越发的响亮了起来，然后夹杂着一股阴风，冲出了两头身长绿毛的怪物，十指如钩，脸似骷髅，形貌狰狞以极，然而林轩却反而松了口气，仅仅是两个相当于灵动中期实力的小僵尸。
Both zombies had blood on the corners of their mouths, having feasted on the rooster's flesh. They were now in a frenzy and lunged at the young man with growls.
shēn tǐ zhōu wéi de hēi wù tuì qù 。
身体周围的黑雾退去。
Lin Xuan showed no fear, his lips curling into a mocking smile as he raised his hand. In his palm was an odd-looking insect.
A shocking rainbow streaked from afar, and soon it descended into a valley.
The radiance faded, revealing the silhouette of a young man.
Lin Xuan didn't immediately enter Drifting Cloud Valley but instead sized up the white mist that surrounded it. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
It seemed he was happy, yet there was also some doubt. The fog was so thick; hadn’t major factions already sent people to search for those scouts?
However, since the corpse mist remained, it proved that the zombies were still intact inside.
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves and conjured a charming young girl into mid-air.
"Master!"
Without needing an order, Blood Oath made their minds resonate. Moonlight bowed to Lin Xuan before transforming into her true form and entering the valley.
She was a Yin Spirit body; this corpse mist had no effect on her. She would go in first to gather information.
Half an hour later, Moonlight emerged from inside, smoothing down her hair.
"Master, everything is as it was. The zombies are still there, but those people who were here last time have vanished without a trace. I don’t know their fate."
"Hmm."
Lin Xuan nodded and put away Moonlight. He entered the valley himself. Instead of going to the zombie lair, he headed to an open space between two cliffs.
The area was vast, with dozens of meters in length and width, free from obstacles like rocks or trees. It was just what he needed.
Lin Xuan tapped his storage pouch and took out several differently colored array flags.
