第一千九百二十七章神秘阵旗
Chapter 1927: Mysterious Array Flags
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， zhe shí ràng zhòng xiū shì jīng è ， bù guò yě bìng méi yǒu rén zài yì ， yī qū qū de yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě yǔ lí hé qī xiū shì zhēng qiǎng bǎo wù ， xià chǎng kěn dìng hǎo bù dào nǎ lǐ qù de 。
这样的结果，着实让众修士惊愕，不过也并没有人在意，一区区的元婴期修仙者与离合期修士争抢宝物，下场肯定好不到哪里去的。
The outcome truly left the cultivators in awe, but no one paid much attention. After all, a few Core Formation期 cultivators competing with Separation Period cultivators for treasures wouldn't end well.
shuí ràng tā xīn lǐ sù zhì nà me chà ne ？
谁让他心理素质那么差呢？
Who could blame him for his poor psychological resilience?
tiān cái dì bǎo ， jià gāo zhě dé ， yǒu yī xiē dōng xī ， gēn běn jiù shì méi yǒu bàn fǎ qiǎng qiú de 。
天材地宝，价高者得，有一些东西，根本就是没有办法强求的。
Top-grade materials and treasures were priced to the highest bidder; some things simply couldn’t be forced upon.
jǐ míng pú yì dǎ bàn de xiū shì lái dào dà tīng lǐ ， jiāng lǎo zhě tái le xià qù 。
几名仆役打扮的修士来到大厅里，将老者抬了下去。
Several servants dressed in robes entered the hall, carrying an elderly man down.
pāi mài huì jì xù 。
拍卖会继续。
The auction continued. The first two items already garnered such results, fully igniting the emotions of the cultivators present.
tóu liǎng jiàn bǎo wù jiù yǐn lái zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， zhòng xiū shì de qíng xù ， yě chè dǐ bèi diào dòng qǐ lái le 。
头两件宝物就引来这样的结果，众修士的情绪，也彻底被调动起来了。
The subsequent auctions were nothing short of spectacular, and the treasures presented by the auction house did not disappoint either. Each item was more precious than the last, with a wide variety of types.
xià miàn de pāi mài ， kān chēng huǒ bào ， ér pāi mài fāng suǒ ná chū lái de bǎo wù ， yě méi yǒu ràng zhòng rén shī wàng ， yī jiàn bǐ yī jiàn zhēn xī ， zhǒng lèi yě fán fù yǐ jí 。
下面的拍卖，堪称火爆，而拍卖方所拿出来的宝物，也没有让众人失望，一件比一件珍稀，种类也繁复以极。
Materials, talismans, ancient treasures—there was no shortage of rare items. Every single one was fiercely snatched up by the cultivators.
cái liào ， fú lù ， gǔ bǎo ， bù yī ér zú ， měi yī yàng dōu kān chēng xī qí zhī wù 。
材料，符箓，古宝，不一而足，每一样都堪称稀奇之物。
Newcomers aside, even those who had attended this store’s auctions several times couldn’t help but mutter under their breath; this time, the treasures seemed more precious than before.
méi yǒu yī jiàn liú pāi de ， dōu bèi zhòng xiū shì yī yōng ér shàng de gěi hōng qiǎng 。
没有一件流拍的，都被众修士一拥而上的给哄抢。
It made sense when you thought about it. Due to the unexpected intrusion of ghostly entities, although the three tribes had ceased hostilities, the entire Eastern Sea cultivation realm was actually in a state of greater turmoil.
xīn lái zhī rén bù shuō ， lián nà xiē cān jiā guò shù cì gāi diàn pāi mài huì de xiū shì yě àn àn zā shé ， zhè yī huí ná chū lái de bǎo wù ， sì hū bǐ yǐ qián yào zhēn xī dé duō 。
新来之人不说，连那些参加过数次该店拍卖会的修士也暗暗咂舌，这一回拿出来的宝物，似乎比以前要珍稀得多。
While major conflicts were less frequent, opportunists continued to take advantage of the chaos, committing murders and stealing treasures.
bù guò xiǎng xiǎng yě yǒu dào lǐ ， yīn wèi yīn hún guǐ wù de yì wài qīn rù ， sān zú suī zhǐ xī le gān gē ， rán ér zhěng gè dōng hǎi xiū xiān jiè qí shí gēng dòng dàng le 。
不过想想也有道理，因为阴魂鬼物的意外侵入，三族虽止息了干戈，然而整个东海修仙界其实更动荡了。
In such circumstances, the store’s ability to secure more abundant and precious supplies wasn’t surprising. It was only natural.
hùn luàn bù zhǐ ， dà de zhēng dòu suī rán méi yǒu le ， dàn chèn huǒ dǎ jié ， shā rén qiǎng bǎo zhī shì què luò yì bù jué 。
混乱不止，大的争斗虽然没有了，但趁火打劫，杀人抢宝之事却络绎不绝。
Several hours passed as one after another of the twenty-plus magical treasures were successfully auctioned off. Many cultivators had gained some spoils, but Lin Xuan's face gradually showed signs of impatience.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， yǐ gāi diàn de shǒu wàn ， néng gòu dé dào gèng chōng zú ， gèng zhēn xī de huò yuán yě bù zú wéi qí ， nǎi qíng lǐ zhī zhōng de shì 。
这种情况下，以该店的手腕，能够得到更充足，更珍稀的货源也不足为奇，乃情理之中的事。
To be fair, this auction was indeed well-organized. However, Lin Xuan wasn't an ordinary Separation Period cultivator; his wealth was so vast that even a Cave Profound期 monster would envy him.
yī huǎng yǎn ， shù gè shí chén jiù zhè yàng guò qù 。
一晃眼，数个时辰就这样过去。
While these twenty treasures were highly prized by most cultivators, they still didn’t stir much interest in Lin Xuan…
yī lián èr shí yú jiàn fǎ bǎo dōu chéng gōng pāi chū ， bù shǎo xiū shì dōu yǒu le zhǎn huò ， rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng què jiàn jiàn lù chū le bù nài zhī sè 。
一连二十余件法宝都成功拍出，不少修士都有了斩获，然而林轩脸上却渐渐露出了不耐之色。
With nothing to show for it, Lin Xuan felt somewhat restless. Although he had passed through the marketplaces several times over the past few days, he hadn't lingered so long before.
píng xīn ér yán ， zhè cì pāi mài huì shuǐ zhǔn què rán bù cuò ， wèn tí shì ， lín xuān bú shì yì bān de lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， shēn jiā zhī fēng hòu ， lián dòng xuán qī lǎo guài dū huì jí dù dé yǎn hóng 。
平心而言，这次拍卖会水准确然不错，问题是，林轩不是一般的离合期修仙者，身家之丰厚，连洞玄期老怪都会嫉妒得眼红。
He was still eager to return to Black Wind Island, and time was precious. Lin Xuan wasn’t interested in wasting any more of his time here.
zhè èr shí yú jiàn pāi mài zhī wù ， zài yì bān xiū shì yǎn lǐ ， què shí fēi cháng zhēn xī ， rán ér què yuǎn hái bú dào ràng lín xuān dòng xīn de jìng dì ……
这二十余件拍卖之物，在一般修士眼里，确实非常珍稀，然而却远还不到让林轩动心的境地……
---
yī wú suǒ huò ， lín xuān duō shǎo shì yǒu xiē bù nài fán le ， suī rán guò qù de shù rì ， lù guò fāng shì ， tā yě dū huì jìn qù guàng yī guàng de ， rán ér què cóng méi yǒu ， dān gē guò zhè me jiǔ 。
一无所获，林轩多少是有些不耐烦了，虽然过去的数日，路过坊市，他也都会进去逛一逛的，然而却从没有，耽搁过这么久。
Several times, he wanted to leave but hesitated each time, deciding to stay put.
zì jǐ hái gǎn zhe huí hēi fēng dǎo qù ， rú jīn de shí jiān ， kě shì fēi cháng zhēn xī ， lín xuān méi yǒu xìng qù gàn hào zài zhè lǐ 。
自己还赶着回黑风岛去，如今的时间，可是非常珍稀，林轩没有兴趣干耗在这里。
There was a lingering sense of dissatisfaction.
jǐ cì dōu xiǎng yào lí kāi ， rán ér lüè yī chí yí ， hái shì xuǎn zé liú le xià qù 。
几次都想要离开，然而略一迟疑，还是选择留了下去。
After all, the time wasted was regrettable if he were to give up now.
duō shǎo yǒu xiē bù gān 。
多少有些不甘。
Thus, after careful consideration, Lin Xuan decided to see it through. The auction wasn’t over yet; maybe something he needed would come later.
bì jìng duō yú de shí jiān dōu dān gē ， bàn tú ér fèi de huà gǎn jué yǒu xiē kě xī le 。
毕竟多余的时间都耽搁，半途而废的话感觉有些可惜了。
Suddenly, a deep, ancient bell rang in his mind.
gù ér zài sān zhēn zhuó ， lín xuān hái shì jué de yào yǒu shǐ yǒu zhōng ， pāi mài huì bìng wèi jié shù ， yě xǔ hòu miàn huì yǒu zì jǐ xū yào de 。
故而再三斟酌，林轩还是觉得要有始有终，拍卖会并未结束，也许后面会有自己需要的。
Lin Xuan's expression changed as did many others'. A beautiful woman, dressed in white palace robes, slowly walked onto the stage with a tray in hand.
dōng ……
咚……
She was in her early twenties and exuded an air of nobility that wasn’t just from her attire. Lin Xuan’s spiritual sense detected this, causing his expression to shift slightly.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， tū rán yī gǔ piáo de zhōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
脑海中念头转过，突然一古朴的钟声传入耳朵。
This woman wore several bell-like ornaments, which jingled as she moved.
lín xuān shén sè yī dòng ， bù shǎo xiū shì liǎn shàng yě lù chū le chà rán zhī sè 。
林轩神色一动，不少修士脸上也露出了诧然之色。
Soon, she reached the stage.
suí zhe nà gǔ piáo de zhōng shēng ， yī míng měi mào nǚ zǐ shǒu pěng tuō pán ， huǎn huǎn de zǒu dào le qián fāng de gāo tái shàng miàn 。
随着那古朴的钟声，一名美貌女子手捧托盘，缓缓的走到了前方的高台上面。
Opening the red cloth on the tray revealed several colorful array flags.
cǐ nǚ èr shí chū tóu ， yī shēn xuě bái de gōng zhuāng ， bù lùn dǎ bàn qì zhì ， dōu bú shì pǔ tōng de shì nǚ 。
此女二十出头，一身雪白的宫装，不论打扮气质，都不是普通的侍女。
Lin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise.
lín xuān shén shí sǎo guò ， biǎo qíng yě yǒu xiē dòng róng ， zhè jū rán shì yī míng lí hé chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
林轩神识扫过，表情也有些动容，这居然是一名离合初期的修仙者。
Cultivation arts were vast and long-standing; arrays held a significant place among them. The subtlety of their application lay in one’s heart.
cǐ nǚ de shēn shàng ， pèi dài zhe bù shǎo lèi sì yú líng dāng de shì wù ， zǒu dòng zhī jiān ， dīng dāng zuò xiǎng 。
此女的身上，佩戴着不少类似于铃铛的饰物，走动之间，叮当作响。
Among these arrays were both protective formations for sects and families, as well as those that could be activated by individual or multiple cultivators using only an array disk and flags.
hěn kuài ， tā jiù lái dào le gāo tái zhī shàng 。
很快，她就来到了高台之上。
Lin Xuan had some experience with this field; he had studied the璇玑心得and later read the 天元阵书. While his mastery of array techniques was far from masterful, it was still beyond most ordinary cultivators.
jiāng tuō pán shàng miàn de hóng chóu dǎ kāi ， jǐ gān wǔ yán liù sè de zhèn qí yìng rù yǎn lián 。
将托盘上面的红绸打开，几杆五颜六色的阵旗映入眼帘。
At least, his discernment was quite seasoned.
lín xuān de yǎn jīng yī xià zi zhēng yuán 。
林轩的眼睛一下子睁圆。
---
xiū xiān bǎi yì ， yuán yuǎn liú cháng ， zhè zhèn fǎ yī dào ， zài lǐ miàn kě wèi shì fēi cháng zhòng yào 。
修仙百艺，源远流长，这阵法一道，在里面可谓是非常重要。
Even before the red cloth was fully opened, Lin Xuan noticed the extraordinary nature of these flags just by glancing at them. Clearly, he wasn’t the only one who recognized their value.
yùn yòng zhī miào ， cún hū yī xīn 。
运用之妙，存乎一心。
Many Core Formation mid-to-late period cultivators’ eyes gleamed with greed. Moreover, Lin Xuan sensed an unusual波动emanating from a box above his head in the gallery.
zhè zhèn fǎ zhī zhōng ， jì yǒu shì hé zōng mén jiā zú de hù pài dà zhèn 。
这阵法之中，既有适合宗门家族的护派大阵。
While he remained calm on the surface, Lin Xuan was greatly alarmed inside.
yě yǒu kě yǐ zài dòu fǎ zhōng yóu dān gè xiū shì ， huò zhě shù míng xiū shì xiāng pèi hé ， zhǐ xū yào zhèn pán zhèn qí jiù kě yǐ shī zhǎn de zhèn fǎ 。
也有可以在斗法中由单个修士，或者数名修士相配合，只需要阵盘阵旗就可以施展的阵法。
Core Formation mid-to-late period cultivators weren’t worthy of competing against him, but Cave Profound期 monsters still needed to be cautious.
lín xuān duì yú cǐ dào ， yě yǒu shè liè ， xiān hòu yán xí guò xuán jī xīn dé ， suí hòu yòu dú le tiān yuán zhèn shū ， zài zhèn fǎ zhī dào de zào yì ， suī rán yuǎn yuǎn tán bù shàng zōng shī jí ， dàn yě yuǎn fēi yì bān de xiū shì kě bǐ 。
林轩对于此道，也有涉猎，先后研习过璇玑心得，随后又读了天元阵书，在阵法之道的造诣，虽然远远谈不上宗师级，但也远非一般的修士可比。
Although he had fought with the Whale King, Lin Xuan wouldn’t become overconfident.
bié de bù shuō ， zhì shǎo zhè yǎn lì ， jiù shì fēi cháng lǎo dào dì 。
别的不说，至少这眼力，就是非常老道地。
Humility had its benefits; one shouldn't be arrogant just because they were talented.
hóng chóu gāng gāng jiē kāi ， jǐn jǐn shì kàn le nà jǐ gān zhèn qí yī yǎn ， lín xuān jiù fā xiàn le cǐ bǎo de bù fán 。
红绸刚刚揭开，仅仅是看了那几杆阵旗一眼，林轩就发现了此宝的不凡。
At this moment, a silver-haired elder's voice echoed through the hall, his tone carrying a sense of gravity.
shí huò zhě xiǎn rán bìng fēi lín xuān yí gè 。
识货者显然并非林轩一个。
"Thank you all for your support. This auction has been very successful with no items left unsold. Now we have only one last treasure to auction off. I know many of you traveled far and wide just for this final masterpiece. So please pay close attention; I expect the competition will be intense."
bù shǎo lí hé zhōng hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， yǎn jīng zhōng dū mào chū tān lán de lǜ guāng le ， bù jǐn rú cǐ ， lín xuān cóng tóu dǐng de bāo xiāng zhī zhōng ， hái gǎn jué dào le yī gǔ yì yàng de bō dòng 。
不少离合中后期的老怪物，眼睛中都冒出贪婪的绿光了，不仅如此，林轩从头顶的包厢之中，还感觉到了一股异样的波动。
The silver-haired elder’s words were surprisingly confident, indicating his faith in the item about to be auctioned. His opening remarks stirred a commotion throughout the hall.
biǎo miàn shàng bù dòng shēng sè ， lín xuān xīn zhōng ， què shì dà wèi lǐn rán le 。
表面上不动声色，林轩心中，却是大为凛然了。
While those who had received intelligence beforehand weren’t surprised by this situation, they still anticipated it. They came here specifically for the final masterpiece.
nà xiē lí hé zhōng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， gēn běn bù pèi yǔ tā zhēng duó ， rán ér dòng xuán qī lǎo guài wù ， lín xuān hái shì yào xiǎo xīn yī èr de 。
那些离合中后期的修仙者，根本不配与他争夺，然而洞玄期老怪物，林轩还是要小心一二的。
However, most cultivators present remained clueless until now.
suī rán yǔ jù jīng wáng dōu zhēng dòu guò ， dàn lín xuān bìng bú huì yīn cǐ jiù mù zhōng wú rén le 。
虽然与巨鲸王都争斗过，但林轩并不会因此就目中无人了。
But no one who entered was a fool; even without prior information, seeing this scene made them realize that what was being auctioned was something extraordinary.
xū xīn yǒu hǎo chù ， zuò rén bù néng tài chí cái ào wù 。
虚心有好处，做人不能太持才傲物。
Even if they didn’t have the means to compete, their faces showed interest. After all, gaining more knowledge never hurt.
ér zhè shí hòu ， nà yín fā lǎo zhě de shēng yīn ， yě huǎn huǎn de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ qì zhōng dài zhe jǐ fēn zhèng zhòng zhī sè 。
而这时候，那银发老者的声音，也缓缓的传入耳朵，语气中带着几分郑重之色。
At that moment, the silver-haired elder held up an array flag: "This set of flags wasn't crafted by our Eastern Sea’s array masters; it was unearthed from a relic sea. Its power is beyond my ability to describe. Now let everyone witness its might."
“ duō xiè zhū wèi dào yǒu pěng chǎng ， zhè cì de pāi mài huì shí fēn shùn lì ， méi yǒu yī jiàn liú pāi zhī wù ， rú jīn zhǐ shèng xià zuì hòu yī jiàn zhòng bǎo le ， jīn mǒu xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， bù shǎo dào yǒu bù yuǎn qiān lǐ lái dào cǐ chù ， dōu shì wèi le zhè jiàn yā zhòu de zhòng bǎo ， nà xiàn zài yí dìng yào duō jiā zhù yì ， wǒ xiǎng yī huì er zhēng duó huì shì fēi cháng jī liè dì 。”
“多谢诸位道友捧场，这次的拍卖会十分顺利，没有一件流拍之物，如今只剩下最后一件重宝了，金某心里有数，不少道友不远千里来到此处，都是为了这件压轴的重宝，那现在一定要多加注意，我想一会儿争夺会是非常激烈地。”
As he spoke, he took out one of the array flags from the tray and waved it gently. The flag grew several times in size, resembling a stormy wave.
yín fā lǎo zhě de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kǒu qì dà dé chū qí ， míng xiǎn duì jí jiāng pāi mài de bǎo wù chōng mǎn le xìn xīn ， tā zhè duàn kāi chǎng bái yī chū kǒu ， zhěng gè dà tīng dōu yī zhèn sāo dòng ， nà xiē zǎo yǐ dé dào qíng bào de xiū shì zàn qiě bù tí ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng tā men duō shǎo dōu liào dào yī xiē ， zhè cì lái dào cǐ chù ， yě què shí shì wèi le yā zhòu de zhòng bǎo 。
银发老者的声音传入耳朵，口气大得出奇，明显对即将拍卖的宝物充满了信心，他这段开场白一出口，整个大厅都一阵骚动，那些早已得到情报的修士暂且不提，这种情况他们多少都料到一些，这次来到此处，也确实是为了压轴的重宝。
Rays of light flickered on its surface, accompanied by a buzzing sound. Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he saw various mystical inscriptions carved into the flag, layer upon layer, shimmering with blue light. More intriguingly, as the flag moved, the surrounding water attributes of the elemental energy surged and swirled!
