第两千一百一十五章僵尸符
Chapter 2115: Zombie Talisman
sī zhú zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , yī jiān huá měi yì cháng de gōng diàn , suí zhī yìng rù yǎn lián 。
丝竹之声传入耳朵,一间华美异常的宫殿,随之映入眼帘。
The sound of stringed instruments filled his ears, and before him stood an extraordinarily magnificent palace.
cǐ gōng diàn yuē yǒu shù bǎi zhàng zhī guǎng , lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò , fā xiàn lǐ miàn yǐ jīng yǒu bǎi yú míng xiū xiān zhě , jiē shén sè yōu rán de sàn luò zài gè chù 。
此宫殿约有数百丈之广,林轩目光扫过,发现里面已经有百余名修仙者,皆神sè悠然的散落在各处。
This palace was about several hundred feet wide. Lin Xuan's gaze swept over it, discovering that there were already more than a hundred cultivators inside, all with serene expressions as they scattered throughout the place.
ér zài gōng diàn de zhōng jiān , zé yǒu yī duì měi mào shì nǚ zhèng piān piān qǐ wǔ 。
而在宫殿的中间,则有一队美貌shì女正翩翩起舞。
In the center of the palace, a group of beautiful women were dancing gracefully.
nà xiē shì nǚ xiū wèi bù guò zhù jī , rán ér měi yí gè , jiē méi qīng mù xiù yǐ jí , bù lùn róng mào hái shì shēn cái , dōu yī děng yī 。
那些shì女修为不过筑基,然而每一个,皆眉清目秀以极,不论容貌还是身材,都一等一。
Their cultivation levels were only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but each one was strikingly handsome or pretty. Their appearances and figures were top-notch.
guāng shì zhè duì shì nǚ , jiù kě yǐ kàn chū tiān shī mén hǎo dà de shǒu bǐ 。
光是这队shì女,就可以看出天尸门好大的手笔。
Just from this group of women, it could be seen how grand the plan of the Heavenly Corpse Sect was.
wàn bǎo dà huì shàng wèi kāi shǐ , bù guò yǒu rú cǐ duō de jiā rén biǎo yǎn gē wǔ , zì rán yě bú huì wú liáo jì mò 。
万宝大会尚未开始,不过有如此多的佳人表演歌舞,自然也不会无聊寂寞。
The Great Treasure Fair had not yet begun, but with such a performance by beautiful ladies, there would naturally be no boredom or loneliness.
lín xuān mù guāng zài fù jìn sǎo guò , fā xiàn dà diàn zhōng de xiū xiān zhě , xiū wèi zuì dī de yě shì lí hé , dòng xuán jí bié de xiū shì , gèng yǒu sān chéng zhī duō , zú kě jiàn zhè gāo jí de wàn bǎo dà huì , hái zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
林轩目光在附近扫过,发现大殿中的修仙者,修为最低的也是离合,洞玄级别的修士,更有三成之多,足可见这高级的万宝大会,还真是非同小可。
Lin Xuan's gaze swept around. He found that most of the cultivators in the hall were at the Separation and Profound Void stages, with over thirty percent being at this level. This clearly showed how significant the Great Treasure Fair was.
ér zhè xiē xiū shì , yuē yǒu yī xiǎo bàn shì tiān shī mén dì zǐ , shèng xià de , zé shì wài lái xiū shì 。
而这些修士,约有一小半是天尸门弟子,剩下的,则是外来修士。
About half of these cultivators were disciples of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, while the rest were outsiders.
rén bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào shǎo yī xiē , bù guò wàn bǎo dà huì shàng wèi kāi shǐ , gū jì yī huì er hái huì yǒu xīn lái de xiū shì 。
人比想象的要少一些,不过万宝大会尚未开始,估计一会儿还会有新来的修士。
There were fewer people than expected, but as the Great Treasure Fair had not yet started, more cultivators would likely arrive soon.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe , lín xuān biǎo miàn shàng què sī háo yě bù dòng shēng sè, zuò wèi páng biān de chá jī shàng yǒu měi jiǔ guā guǒ , lín xuān kāi shǐ dà kuài duǒ yí de xiǎng shòu qǐ lái le 。
心中如此想着,林轩表面上却丝毫也不动声sè,座位旁边的茶几上有美酒瓜果,林轩开始大快朵颐的享受起来了。
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan remained unmoved on the surface. He began to enjoy the fine wine and fruits placed beside his seat.
sān gè shí chén hěn kuài guò qù , suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí , jìn rù dà diàn de xiū shì yuè lái yuè duō , tū rán lín xuān xiàng shì gǎn shòu dào shén me shì de tái qǐ tóu lú , ér zhěng gè dà diàn yě sāo dòng qǐ lái le 。
三个时辰很快过去,随着时间的推移,进入大殿的修士越来越多,突然林轩像是感受到什么似的抬起头颅,而整个大殿也sāo动起来了。
Three hours quickly passed. As time went by, more and more cultivators entered the hall. Suddenly, Lin Xuan raised his head as if sensing something. The entire hall started to stir.
“ bú huì ba , gǔ lǎo mó , nà lǎo guài wù jū rán yě lái le , wǒ méi kàn cuò ba !”
“不会吧,古老魔,那老怪物居然也来了,我没看错吧!”
"Is it really possible? That ancient demon, that old monster actually came! I didn't see wrong!"
“ nán dào zhè cì wàn bǎo dà huì yǒu shén me bù dé le de bǎo wù chū shì ma , jū rán jīng dòng le fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。”
“难道这次万宝大会有什么不得了的宝物出世吗,居然惊动了分神级别的修仙者。”
"Could there be a great treasure emerging during this Great Treasure Fair, attracting a Separation Stage cultivator?"
“ tīng shuō zhè lǎo guài wù jīn nián yǐ jīng yǒu shí wàn suì le , shì bú shì zhēn de ?”
“听说这老怪物今年已经有十万岁了,是不是真的?”
"I heard he is already ten thousand years old this year. Is that true?"
……
……
Various discussions filled the air. However, when an elderly man with one eye entered the hall, all voices stopped.
gè zhǒng gè yàng de yì lùn shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , bù guò dāng yī míng dú yǎn lǎo zhě jìn rù dà diàn de shí hòu , suǒ yǒu de shēng yīn dōu tíng xià lái le 。
各种各样的议论声传入耳朵,不过当一名独眼老者进入大殿的时候,所有的声音都停下来了。
The one-eyed old man was riding in a carriage pulled by a single-legged strange bird. From its appearance, it somewhat resembled the Phoenix Bird, but only somewhat. The Phoenix Bird was a true spirit and even Separation Stage cultivators or late-stage Golden Transformation monsters couldn't possibly use such a powerful entity as a carriage.
nà dú yǎn lǎo zhě chéng zuò zhe yī liàng shòu chē 。
那独眼老者乘坐着一辆兽车。
"Greetings to my senior!"
cǐ shòu chē zhǎng zhàng yú , xiǎo qiǎo jīng zhì , nǎi shì yóu mǒu zhǒng bù zhī míng de xiāng mù zhì chéng de , lā chē de shì yī dān zú guài niǎo , cóng xíng mào shàng kàn , yǒu diǎn xiàng shì bì fāng 。
此兽车长丈余,小巧精致,乃是由某种不知名的香木制成的,拉车的是一单足怪鸟,从形貌上看,有点像是必方。
The Heavenly Corpse Sect's cultivators immediately fell to their knees in the hall, their faces showing surprise and suspicion. They hadn't expected the sect's Supreme Elder to visit them here.
dāng rán , zhǐ shì xiàng ér yǐ , bì fāng kě shì zhēn líng , bié shuō fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě , jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù , yě bù kě néng jiāng zhè me qiáng dà de cún zài ná lái lā chē 。
当然,只是像而已,必方可是真灵,别说分神期修仙者,就算是渡劫后期的老怪物,也不可能将这么强大的存在拿来拉车。
The outsiders also stood up, bowing respectfully. In the cultivation world, respect was shown to power, so it was necessary for them to show reverence to a Separation Stage cultivator.
“ cān jiàn shī zǔ !”
“参见师祖!”
"Enough of this formalities. I just finished my seclusion and coincidentally, the Great Treasure Fair has started. Let's join in the fun," the ancient demon's hoarse voice echoed. He seemed quite pleased as he spoke.
dà diàn zhōng , tiān shī mén de xiū xiān zhě dùn shí hēi yā yā de guì xià qù le , tā men de liǎn shàng yě dài zhe jīng yí zhī sè, xiǎn rán méi xiǎng dào běn mén tài shàng zhǎng lǎo , huì dà jià guāng lín cǐ chù 。
大殿中,天尸门的修仙者顿时黑压压的跪下去了,他们的脸上也带着惊疑之sè,显然没想到本门太上长老,会大驾光临此处。
Although the ancient demon was at the Separation Stage, his presence didn't exude any pressure; however, his voice carried an irresistible authority.
zhì yú wài lái de xiū shì , yě fēn fēn zhàn qǐ , gōng shēn xíng lǐ , xiū xiān jiè shì qiáng zhě wèi zūn dì , miàn duì fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù , biǎo dá jìng yì shì bì xū 。
至于外来的修士,也纷纷站起,躬身行礼,修仙界是强者为尊地,面对分神期老怪物,表达敬意是必须。
The cultivators below naturally agreed and no one voiced any objections.
“ hǎo le , dà jiā bù yòng duō lǐ , lǎo fū zhǐ shì gāng gāng jié shù bì guān , yòu qià féng wàn bǎo dà huì kāi qǐ , gù ér còu còu rè nào ér yǐ , zhū wèi suí yì 。” gǔ lǎo mó yǒu xiē sī yǎ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , kàn qí biǎo qíng , xiǎn rán xīn qíng bù cuò 。
“好了,大家不用多礼,老夫只是刚刚结束闭关,又恰逢万宝大会开启,故而凑凑热闹而已,诸位随意。”古老魔有些嘶哑的声音传入耳朵,看其表情,显然心情不错。
"Good. Since you all agree, I will first present a treasure to spark interest."
tiān shī mén zuì jìn suī rán yù jiàn le yī xiē bō zhé , dàn zài tā zhè zhǒng jí bié de xiū shì yǎn lǐ , zé gēn běn suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
天尸门最近虽然遇见了一些bō折,但在他这种级别的修士眼里,则根本算不了什么。
The ancient demon's face showed satisfaction as he spoke. His words immediately made the atmosphere lively. The Great Treasure Fair had never seen Separation Stage cultivators before, so his presence alone guaranteed that what he would show was of great significance.
lín xuān de liǎn sè zé yǒu xiē nán kàn le , yuán běn tā qián rù tiān shī mén zǒng duò , shì zhǔn bèi dǎo luàn lái de , yǐ zì jǐ de shí lì , zhǐ yào xiǎo xīn yī xiē , chèn luàn liè shā gāi pài jǐ míng dòng xuán qī xiū shì yīng gāi méi yǒu tài dà de wèn tí 。
林轩的脸sè则有些难看了,原本他潜入天尸门总舵,是准备捣乱来的,以自己的实力,只要小心一些,趁乱猎杀该派几名洞玄期修士应该没有太大的问题。
Many cultivators revealed expressions of anticipation.
kě lín xuān wàn wàn xiǎng bú dào , huì yù jiàn fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù , zhè kě yǒu xiē má fán le , nán dào zì jǐ jìng yào wú gōng ér fǎn me ?
可林轩万万想不到,会遇见分神期老怪物,这可有些麻烦了,难道自己竟要无功而返么?
The ancient demon scanned the crowd with his eyes and a beautiful woman handed him a tray covered in red cloth, which shielded their minds from prying.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , dāng rán , biǎo miàn shàng , zé shì fēn háo yì sè yě bù lù de , jǐn guǎn xíng shì yǒu xiē bù miào , dàn lín xuān de xìng gé , xiàng lái bú shì bàn tú ér fèi de , tā zhǔn bèi kàn kàn qíng kuàng zài shuō 。
脑海中念头转过,当然,表面上,则是分毫异sè也不lù的,尽管形势有些不妙,但林轩的xìng格,向来不是半途而废的,他准备看看情况再说。
Lin Xuan's face showed curiosity. He didn't know what the old demon would present.
“ hǎo le , wǒ kàn gāi lái de tóng dào , chà bu duō yě dōu dào qí , shèng xià de , lǎo fū yě bù dǎ suàn zài děng xià qù , wàn bǎo dà huì xiàn zài kāi shǐ , zhū wèi dào yǒu yǒu méi yǒu yì yì ?” yòu guò piàn kè , nà gǔ lǎo mó de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , cǐ rén bù kuì shì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě , jǐn guǎn hún shēn shàng xià , fēn háo wēi yā bù lù, dàn shēng yīn què zì dài yǒu yī gǔ ràng rén bù kě kàng jù de wēi yán de 。
“好了,我看该来的同道,差不多也都到齐,剩下的,老夫也不打算再等下去,万宝大会现在开始,诸位道友有没有异议?”又过片刻,那古老魔的声音传入耳朵,此人不愧是分神期修仙者,尽管浑身上下,分毫威压不lù,但声音却自带有一股让人不可抗拒的威严的。
Soon enough, the mystery was solved as the old demon removed the red cloth to reveal a wooden box about a foot long.
xià miàn de xiū shì tīng le , zì rán shì suí shēng fù hè , méi yǒu rén biǎo shì yì yì shén me 。
下面的修士听了,自然是随声附和,没有人表示异议什么。
A pleasant scent wafted into his nostrils. Two talismans were affixed on top of the box, adding an air of mystery.
“ hǎo , jì rán zhū wèi dào yǒu dōu tóng yì , nà lǎo fū jiù xiān ná chū yī jiàn bǎo wù , yě suàn shì pāo zhuān yǐn yù le 。”
“好,既然诸位道友都同意,那老夫就先拿出一件宝物,也算是抛砖引玉了。”
The cultivators in attendance, all knowledgeable, recognized that whatever was inside was no ordinary item. The old demon's face remained calm as he flicked his fingers, igniting the talisman without wind. With a snap, the lid opened and revealed its contents.
gǔ lǎo mó de liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè, ér tā zhè huà yī shuō , xià miàn de qì fēn yī xià zi jiù huó yuè qǐ lái le , yǐ qián de wàn bǎo dà huì , suī rán yě yǒu zhe hěn gāo de guī gé , dàn què cóng lái bú jiàn fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě cān jiā guò 。
古老魔的脸上lù出满意之sè,而他这话一说,下面的气氛一下子就活跃起来了,以前的万宝大会,虽然也有着很高的规格,但却从来不见分神级别的修仙者参加过。
"Ah, what is this..."
gǔ lǎo mó zhè cì lái le , suī rán bù xiǎo de , tā de mù dì shì shén me , dàn qí shēn fèn xiū wèi bǎi zài nà lǐ , ná chū lái de dōng xī , jué duì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě zhī wù 。
古老魔这次来了,虽然不晓得,他的目的是什么,但其身份修为摆在那里,拿出来的东西,绝对是非同小可之物。
Lin Xuan had guessed it might be either materials or a treasure, but to his surprise, it was a talisman.
hěn duō xiū shì dōu lù chū qī dài de biǎo qíng lái le 。
很多修士都lù出期待的表情来了。
However, it wasn't just any ordinary talisman; the paper was pale white with an eerie appearance. A ghastly zombie was drawn on it.
gǔ lǎo mó mù guāng zài xià miàn sǎo guò , yī míng měi mào shì nǚ jiù pěng guò yī tuō pán lái le 。
古老魔目光在下面扫过,一名美貌shì女就捧过一托盘来了。
"A Zombie Talisman!"
tuō pán shàng hái méng yǒu hóng bù , yǒu zhe gé jué shén shí de xiào guǒ 。
托盘上还méng有红布,有着隔绝神识的效果。
The path of cultivation was vast and deep, and Lin Xuan had some understanding of talisman-making but far from mastery. After all, a person's energy was limited, and he mostly spent his time taking medicine and meditating.
lián lín xuān liǎn shàng dōu lù chū jǐ fēn hào qí zhī sè, bù zhī dào duì fāng huì ná chū shén me 。
连林轩脸上都lù出几分好奇之sè,不知道对方会拿出什么。
Zombie Talismans did not exist in the human world, but after arriving in the Nael Dragon Realm, he had heard about them—rumored to be a secret technique of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
mí dǐ hěn kuài jiē xiǎo , lǎo mó jiāng hóng bù jiē kāi , yī chǐ xǔ zhǎng de mù hé yìng rù yǎn lián 。
谜底很快揭晓,老魔将红布揭开,一尺许长的木盒映入眼帘。
Of course, what was sealed within the talisman wasn't a zombie, but rather corpse energy. Through special techniques, once this talisman was summoned, the corpse energy could coalesce into a temporary zombie monster.
yī gǔ xiāng wèi ér chuán rù bí duān , nà mù hé de dǐng bù , hái tiē yǒu liǎng zhāng jìn zhì fú lù , gèng xiǎn chū jǐ fēn shén mì de wèi dào lái le 。
一股香味儿传入鼻端,那木盒的顶部,还贴有两张禁制符箓,更显出几分神秘的味道来了。
The strength of such a creature would depend on the level of the Zombie Talisman itself.
zài chǎng de xiū shì , wú bù jiàn shí guǎng bó , yī kàn zhè mù hé , jiù zhī dào lǐ miàn suǒ shèng fàng de dōng xī fēi tóng xiǎo kě , lǎo mó liǎn shàng zé yī fù yún dàn fēng qīng zhī sè, qū zhǐ yī dàn , nà fú lù jiù wú fēng zì rán , hé gài yě pā de yī shēng dǎ kāi , lǐ miàn de dōng xī xiǎn lù chū lái 。
在场的修士,无不见识广博,一看这木盒,就知道里面所盛放的东西非同小可,老魔脸上则一副云淡风轻之sè,屈指一弹,那符箓就无风自燃,盒盖也啪的一声打开,里面的东西显lù出来。
As one of the two Separation Stage Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, the ancient demon's Zombie Talismans couldn't be trash; they were likely incredibly powerful.
“ yí , zhè shì ……”
“咦,这是……”
Sure enough, his voice continued: "This talisman was made from the corpse energy of a Silver-Winged Corpse King I've nurtured for ten thousand years. It has about one-third the strength of a Separation Stage cultivator and only lasts half an incense stick's time."
lín xuān yě zuò guò cāi cè , mù hé zhōng shèng fàng de huì shì cái liào hái shì bǎo wù , chū hū yì liào de , jū rán shì yī zhāng fú 。
林轩也做过猜测,木盒中盛放的会是材料还是宝物,出乎意料的,居然是一张符。
Today is just one update because it's the New Year, after all. I should spend some time with my family too. Wishing all fellow cultivators a happy new year, good health, and everything goes well! @.
Chapter 2115: Zombie Talisman
The sound of stringed instruments filled his ears, and before him stood an extraordinarily magnificent palace.
This palace was about several hundred feet wide. Lin Xuan's gaze swept over it, discovering that there were already more than a hundred cultivators inside, all with serene expressions as they scattered throughout the place.
