“ shī xiōng ， zěn me le ？”
“师兄，怎么了？”
"Senior Brother, what's the matter?"
bié shuō níng tiān yǔ ， biàn shì bié de zhǎng lǎo ， liǎn shàng yě dōu lù chū le guān zhù zhī sè ， rán ér kū mù zhēn rén què bìng méi yǒu lì kè gōng kāi chuán yīn fú ， fǎn ér bǎi le bǎi shǒu ：“ gāng cái de shì qíng ， nǐ xiān jiē zhe jì xù shuō 。”
别说宁天宇，便是别的长老，脸上也都露出了关注之色，然而枯木真人却并没有立刻公开传音符，反而摆了摆手：“刚才的事情，你先接着继续说。”
Not just Ning Tianyu, but even other elders showed concern on their faces. However, Immortal Wood did not immediately use a sound transmission talisman to speak openly. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Continue with what you were saying earlier."
níng tiān yǔ lèng le yī xià zhī hòu ， lì kè jiù huī fù le cháng sè ， kū mù zhēn rén bù yóu xīn wèi de diǎn diǎn tóu ， chù biàn bù jīng ， chéng fǔ bù cuò ， kàn lái xiǎo shī dì zài zì jǐ de zhuó lì péi yǎng xià ， guǒ rán dà yǒu zhǎng jìn 。
宁天宇愣了一下之后，立刻就恢复了常色，枯木真人不由欣慰的点点头，处变不惊，城府不错，看来小师弟在自己的着力培养下，果然大有长进。
Ning Tianyu recovered quickly after being stunned for a moment. Immortal Wood nodded in relief; his composure under pressure was impressive. It seemed that his younger brother had indeed made significant progress through his focused training.
“ shī xiōng ， suī rán wǒ men què shí méi yǒu líng yào shān nà yàng de zī běn ， dàn yě bù yòng wàng zì fěi bó ， běn pài shù qiān nián de dǐ yùn yě bú shì chī sù de ， rú guǒ zhèng mó shuāng fāng zhēn yào duì wǒ men dòng shǒu ， jiù suàn nà xiē yuán yīng qī lǎo guài qīn zì chū mǎ ， kě wǒ men què zhàn jù le tiān shí dì lì rén hé ， yòu yǒu hù pài dà zhèn xiāng zhù ， jiù suàn bù dí ， kě tā men yào jiāng běn mén lián gēn bá qǐ ， yě huì bēng diào jǐ kē yá ， zhè xiǎn rán shì chī lì bù tǎo hǎo de shǎ shì ， nà xiē yuán yīng lǎo guài yí gè gè jiān huá shì guǐ ， qǐ huì bù míng bái zhè qí zhōng de dào lǐ 。”
“师兄，虽然我们确实没有灵药山那样的资本，但也不用妄自菲薄，本派数千年的底蕴也不是吃素的，如果正魔双方真要对我们动手，就算那些元婴期老怪亲自出马，可我们却占据了天时地利人和，又有护派大阵相助，就算不敌，可他们要将本门连根拔起，也会崩掉几颗牙，这显然是吃力不讨好的傻事，那些元婴老怪一个个奸猾似鬼，岂会不明白这其中的道理。”
"Senior Brother, although we don't have the resources of Spirit Herb Mountain, there's no need to undervalue ourselves. Our sect has a thousand years of accumulated strength, and it wouldn't be wise for them to attack us if they're just going to lose teeth in the process. Those old Immortal Monarchs are cunning like ghosts; how could they not understand this?"
níng tiān yǔ shuō zhè huà shí xiōng yǒu chéng zhú ， dùn le yī dùn zhī hòu yòu jiē zhe xù shù ：“ hé kuàng cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng ， tā men miè wǒ tiān mù shān shí jì rán huì yǒu sǔn shī ， nà me xiāng yìn de ， lìng wài yī fāng jiù huì chèn jī zuò dà ， nǐ shuō tā men huì gàn zhè yàng de shǎ shì ma ？”
宁天宇说这话时胸有成竹，顿了一顿之后又接着叙述：“何况此消彼长，他们灭我天目山时既然会有损失，那么相印的，另外一方就会趁机坐大，你说他们会干这样的傻事吗？”
Ning Tianyu spoke with confidence as he paused before continuing: "Moreover, when one side suffers losses while attacking our Heavenly Eye Mountain, the other will seize the opportunity to grow stronger. Would they really do such a foolish thing?"
“ ń ， yǒu lǐ 。” kū mù zhēn rén shǒu mó hú xū ， cāng lǎo de miàn róng shàng zhōng yú lù chū le yī sī xiào yì ， kàn lái zì jǐ shì tài zháo jí le xiē ， jū rán méi yǒu xiǎng dào zhè me qiǎn xiǎn de dào lǐ ：“ nà zhào nǐ zhī yì ， wǒ men shì kě yǐ bù yòng dā lǐ le ？”
“嗯，有理。”枯木真人手模胡须，苍老的面容上终于露出了一丝笑意，看来自己是太着急了些，居然没有想到这么浅显的道理：“那照你之意，我们是可以不用搭理了？”
"Indeed, that makes sense," Immortal Wood stroked his beard and finally smiled; it seemed he had been too hasty in his thinking. "So according to your suggestion, we don't need to worry about this?"
“ dāng rán bù xíng 。” níng tiān yǔ yáo le yáo tóu ：“ zhèng rú zhǎng mén shī xiōng suǒ shuō ， tā men de nài xīn shì yǒu jí xiàn de ， xiàn zài shuāng fāng dōu méi yǒu zhǔn bèi hǎo kāi zhàn ， suǒ yǐ zòng róng běn mén tuō yán ， kě yí dàn xià dìng jué xīn kāi dǎ ， shǒu xiān bèi qīng chú de jiù shì yáo bǎi bù dìng de qiáng tóu cǎo a ， nà shí hòu shuō bù dìng zhèng mó dū huì lái zhǎo wǒ men de má fán 。”
“当然不行。”宁天宇摇了摇头：“正如掌门师兄所说，他们的耐心是有极限的，现在双方都没有准备好开战，所以纵容本门拖延，可一旦下定决心开打，首先被清除的就是摇摆不定的墙头草啊，那时候说不定正魔都会来找我们的麻烦。”
"Certainly not." Ning Tianyu shook his head. "As our Senior Master said, their patience has limits. Now that neither side is ready for war, they will tolerate our delay. But once the decision is made, those fence-sitters will be eliminated first. At that point, both sides might come after us."
“ méi yǒu zhè me kuā zhāng ba ！” liǎn sè yǒu hēi de zhǎng lǎo rěn bú zhù kāi kǒu le ：“ xiǎo shī dì ， nà yī nǐ zhī jiàn ， yīng gāi zěn me bàn ？”
“没有这么夸张吧！”脸色黝黑的长老忍不住开口了：“小师弟，那依你之见，应该怎么办？”
"That's quite an exaggeration!" The dark-faced elder couldn't hold back his words. "Younger Brother, what do you suggest we do?"
“ zàn shí xiān tuō 。” níng tiān yǔ zài xuán jī gé zhōng duó bù ：“ shī xiōng 。 wǒ men bù néng zài mò shǒu chéng guī le ， duō duō pài chū dì zǐ ， qù dǎ tàn qíng bào ， zhǐ yǒu liǎo jiě zú gòu de xìn xī hòu ， wǒ men cái néng jué dìng shì yī fù zhèng dào hái shì mó dào 。”
“暂时先拖。”宁天宇在璇玑阁中踱步：“师兄。我们不能再墨守成规了，多多派出弟子，去打探情报，只有了解足够的信息后，我们才能决定是依附正道还是魔道。”
"For now, let's just stall," Ning Tianyu walked around the璇玑阁. "Senior Brother, we can no longer stick to our old ways. We need to send more disciples out to gather intelligence. Only with enough information can we decide whether to align ourselves with the Daoist or Evil factions."
“ xiǎo shī dì ， nǐ zhè shì shén me yì si ， zǔ shī yé chuán xià lái de guī jǔ 。 ràng wǒ men shǎo yǔ bié pài dì xiū zhēn zhě wǎng lái ， nǐ jìng rán ……” nà shén tài wēi měng de hàn zì bó rán sè biàn 。
“小师弟，你这是什么意思，祖师爷传下来的规矩。让我们少与别派地修真者往来，你竟然……”那神态威猛的汉字勃然色变。
"Senior Brother, what do you mean by that? The ancestors' rules tell us to minimize interactions with other sects," the imposing figure of the elder said in a stern voice.
“ féng shī xiōng 。 bú shì xiǎo dì wàng jì le mén guī 。 ér shì cǐ yī shí bǐ yī shí 。 rú jīn yōu zhōu xiū zhēn jiè dì xíng shì 。 nǐ yǐ wéi wǒ men zhēn dì hái néng gù bù zì fēng 。 piān jū yī ǒu 。 zhè chōng tū dì xuán wō shì shuí yě pǎo bù liǎo dì 。” suí jí tā fǔ shēn chōng zhe kū mù zhēn rén xíng lǐ ：“ shī xiōng míng jiàn 。 xiǎo dì cǐ jǔ 。 dōu shì wèi běn mén kǎo lǜ 。 shì bù yí chí 。 qǐng nǐ kuài xià fǎ yù ……”
“冯师兄。不是小弟忘记了门规。而是此一时彼一时。如今幽州修真界地形势。你以为我们真地还能固步自封。偏居一偶。这冲突地漩涡是谁也跑不了地。”随即他俯身冲着枯木真人行礼：“师兄明鉴。小弟此举。都是为本门考虑。事不宜迟。请你快下法谕……”
"Senior Brother Feng, I didn't forget our rules. This is different times. In the current situation of the Youzhou cultivation world, do you really think we can remain isolated and insulated?" He then bowed respectfully towards Immortal Wood. "Please consider this carefully, Senior Brother. My actions are for the benefit of our sect. We must act quickly; please issue a decree..."
“ shī xiōng 。 bù kě ！” nà wēi měng hàn zì yī rán shì yī fù bù yuàn yì tuǒ xié dì shén sè 。 le 。” kū mù zhēn rén yī shēng dà hē 。 hún shēn dì líng lì pèi rán ér chū 。 zhèng zài zhēng lùn dì liǎng rén xià le yī tiào 。 shēng yīn gā rán ér zhǐ 。
“师兄。不可！”那威猛汉字依然是一副不愿意妥协地神色。了。”枯木真人一声大喝。浑身地灵力沛然而出。正在争论地两人吓了一跳。声音嘎然而止。
"Senior Brother, no!" The imposing figure still looked unwilling to compromise. Immortal Wood roared, his spiritual energy surging out, startling the two into silence.
kū mù zhēn rén dì liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī pí juàn zhī sè 。 fǎng fú jiù zhè yī shùn jiān 。 yòu cāng lǎo le xǔ duō 。 tàn le kǒu qì ：“ zī shì tǐ dà 。 ràng wǒ zài hǎo hǎo kǎo lǜ yī xià 。”
枯木真人地脸上露出一丝疲倦之色。仿佛就这一瞬间。又苍老了许多。叹了口气：“兹事体大。让我再好好考虑一下。”
Immortal Wood's face showed signs of fatigue as if he had aged many years in an instant. He sighed, "This is a big matter; let me think about it."
pò yú zhǎng mén dì quán wēi 。 qí tā rén zì rán bù gǎn zài shuō huà 。 yòu guò le piàn kè 。 níng tiān yǔ cái chóng xīn kāi kǒu ：“ duì le shī xiōng 。 nà chuán yīn fú lǐ shuō dì shén me ？”
迫于掌门地权威。其他人自然不敢在说话。又过了片刻。宁天宇才重新开口：“对了师兄。那传音符里说地什么？”
Under the authority of the Senior Master, no one dared to speak further. After a moment, Ning Tianyu spoke again: "Right, Senior Brother, what did the sound transmission talisman say?"
“ nǐ zì jǐ kàn ba ！”
“你自己看吧！”
"Read it yourself!"
kū mù zhēn rén xiù páo yī fú 。 nà chuán yīn fú huà wèi yī dào huǒ guāng luò rù dào le níng tiān yǔ shǒu zhōng 。 tā jiāng shén shí zhù rù 。 piàn kè hòu tái qǐ tóu 。 liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī hài rán zhī sè ：“ jí è mó zūn wéi yī dì rù shì dì zǐ 。 jū rán yào lái wǒ men tiān mù shān zhōng ？”
枯木真人袖袍一拂。那传音符化为一道火光落入到了宁天宇手中。他将神识注入。片刻后抬起头。脸上露出一丝骇然之色：“极恶魔尊唯一地入室弟子。居然要来我们天目山中？”
Immortal Wood flicked his sleeve and the sound transmission talisman turned into a burst of firelight, landing in Ning Tianyu's hands. He injected his divine sense and after a moment, he looked surprised. "The only disciple of the Extreme Demon Sovereign is actually coming to our Heavenly Eye Mountain?"
“ shén me ， nà xiǎo mó tóu lái zhè lǐ zuò shén me ？”
“什么，那小魔头来这里做什么？”
"What? What does that little demon want here?"
“ duō bàn shì bù huái hào yì 。 shī xiōng 。 wǒ men gāi rú hé shì hǎo ？”
“多半是不怀好意。师兄。我们该如何是好？”
"Most likely with ill intentions. Senior Brother, what should we do?"
qí tā zhǎng lǎo yě xià le yī tiào ， zhè xiē rén xiū wèi suī gāo 。 què yí gè gè bù tōng shì wù ， dùn shí jí dé liù shén wú zhǔ ， zhǐ yǒu níng tiān yǔ zài shāo yī sī suǒ hòu jiù huī fù lěng jìng le ：“ zhǎng mén shī xiōng ， zhè jiàn shì qíng shǔ shí ma ？”
其他长老也吓了一跳，这些人修为虽高。却一个个不通世务，顿时急得六神无主，只有宁天宇在稍一思索后就恢复冷静了：“掌门师兄，这件事情属实吗？”
The other elders were also startled; though their cultivation was high, they knew nothing about worldly affairs. They were now at a loss for words, but Ning Tianyu regained his composure after some thought: "Senior Master, is this information true?"
“ shí zhī **， yīng gāi bú huì yǒu cuò ， zhè xiāo xī shì wǒ zǎo nián zài wài yóu lì shí de yí gè lǎo péng yǒu fā gěi wǒ de ， wǒ yǔ tā shì guò mìng dì jiāo qíng ， tā wéi rén yě hěn jǐn shèn ， ruò wú shí zú bǎ wò ， bú huì fā lái chuán yīn fú 、”
“十之**，应该不会有错，这消息是我早年在外游历时的一个老朋友发给我的，我与他是过命地交情，他为人也很谨慎，若无十足把握，不会发来传音符、”
"Most likely, it shouldn't be wrong. This message came from an old friend I met during my travels many years ago; we are sworn brothers and he is very cautious. He wouldn't send a sound transmission talisman without being certain."
“ zhè kě jiù nán bàn le ， nà xiǎo mó tóu lái zhè lǐ zuò shén me ， jiū jìng shì tā dú zì de xíng wéi ， hái shì yǒu jí è mó zūn de shòu yì 。” níng tiān yǔ fǔ tóu chén yín 。“ bù qīng chǔ ， chuán yīn fú lǐ jǐn yǒu zhè me yī jù ， lǎo yǒu shuō jù tǐ de qíng xíng tā yě bú shì hěn liǎo jiě 。” kū mù zhēn rén tóng yàng zài kāi dòng zhe nǎo jīn ：“ bù guò mó zūn zuó tiān de xìn hán lǐ duì cǐ shì zhī zì wèi tí ， yóu cǐ tuī duàn dào jí yǒu kě néng shì nà xiǎo mó tóu zì jǐ dì jué dìng 。”
“这可就难办了，那小魔头来这里做什么，究竟是他独自的行为，还是有极恶魔尊的授意。”宁天宇抚头沉吟。“不清楚，传音符里仅有这么一句，老友说具体的情形他也不是很了解。”枯木真人同样在开动着脑筋：“不过魔尊昨天的信函里对此事只字未提，由此推断倒极有可能是那小魔头自己地决定。”
"This makes things difficult. Why would that little demon come here? Is this his own decision or did the Extreme Demon Sovereign give him orders," Ning Tianyu rubbed his head in thought.
“ zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng què shí hěn dà ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， wǒ men yí dìng yào bǎo zhèng zhè ge xiǎo mó tóu de ān quán ， wǒ tīng shuō nà xiǎo zi bù jǐn shì mó zūn de dì zǐ ， ér qiě hái shì tā zài shì sú jiè wéi yī de hòu rén ， píng shí kě chǒng nì dé jǐn 。” níng tiān yǔ shén sè níng zhòng de jiàn yì 。
“这种可能性确实很大，但不管如何，我们一定要保证这个小魔头的安全，我听说那小子不仅是魔尊的弟子，而且还是他在世俗界唯一的后人，平时可宠溺得紧。”宁天宇神色凝重的建议。
"Indeed, such a possibility exists, but no matter what, we must ensure the safety of this little demon. I heard he is not only the Extreme Demon Sovereign's disciple but also the only heir from his secular world; he is often pampered." Ning Tianyu suggested seriously.
“ ń ， xiǎo shī dì zhè huà dǎo shì bù cuò ， bù guǎn rú hé ， wǒ men zǒng bù néng gěi jí è mó zūn nà jiā huo yǐ kǒu shí ， zài tiān mù shān qī jiān ， bù néng ràng nà xiǎo zi chū shì 。”
“嗯，小师弟这话倒是不错，不管如何，我们总不能给极恶魔尊那家伙以口实，在天目山期间，不能让那小子出事。”
"Right, your younger brother has a point. Regardless, we can't give the Extreme Demon Sovereign any excuse during our stay at Heavenly Eye Mountain. We must ensure that nothing happens to him."
qí tā zhǎng lǎo dào yě bú shì wán quán de bái chī ， ǒu ěr yě néng tí chū yì diǎn yǒu yòng de jiàn yì 。
其他长老倒也不是完全的白痴，偶尔也能提出一点有用的建议。
The other elders were not entirely fools and occasionally offered useful suggestions: "Senior Brother, what's his name? What is his cultivation level? How does he look?"
“ duì le shī xiōng ， nà xiǎo mó tóu xìng shèn míng shuí ， xiū wèi zěn yàng ， zhǎng xiàng rú hé ？”
“对了师兄，那小魔头姓甚名谁，修为怎样，长相如何？”
"Um..." Immortal Wood was speechless as a series of questions caught him off guard. The reason was simple; the Extreme Demon Sovereign's precious disciple was extremely mysterious.
“ zhè ……” yī lián chuàn de wèn huà ， dào jiāng kū mù zhēn rén nòng dé zhāng kǒu jié shé ， bù zhī dào gāi rú hé huí dá ， yuán yīn wú tā ， jí è mó zūn zhè ge bǎo bèi tú dì ， kě shì shén mì dé jǐn 。
“这……”一连串的问话，倒将枯木真人弄得张口结舌，不知道该如何回答，原因无他，极恶魔尊这个宝贝徒弟，可是神秘得紧。
You see, the Extreme Demon Sovereign had once attempted to kill his master and thus never wanted disciples himself. But fate intervened when he met his only heir in the secular world by chance.
xū zhī ， jí è mó zūn dāng chū jiù céng jīng dòng shǒu shì shī ， tā yóu jǐ jí rén ， yuán běn yī shēng dōu bù yuàn yì shōu tú ， kě hòu lái què ǒu rán yù jiàn le zì jǐ zài shì sú jiān de wéi yī hòu rén 。
须知，极恶魔尊当初就曾经动手弑师，他由己及人，原本一生都不愿意收徒，可后来却偶然遇见了自己在世俗间的唯一后人。
That boy possessed an exceptionally excellent spirit root, and with a bloodline connection, the Demon Sovereign took him under his wing despite his misgivings.
ér qiě nà xiǎo zi yōng yǒu jí qí yōu xiù dì líng gēn ， yǒu le xuè mài de lián xì ， mó zūn zhè cái dǎ xiāo gù lǜ ， jiāng qí shōu guī mén xià 。
而且那小子拥有极其优秀地灵根，有了血脉的联系，魔尊这才打消顾虑，将其收归门下。
However, for some unknown reason, the Demon Sovereign rarely let him show himself. Apart from a few trusted confidants, very few in the Extreme Demon Cave had ever seen this young master.
kě bù zhī dào chū yú shén me xīn lǐ ， mó zūn jí shǎo ràng tā lòu miàn ， chú le shǎo shù jǐ gè xīn fù ， jí mó dòng zhōng ， jìng rán méi yǒu jǐ rén jiàn guò zhè wèi shǎo zhǔ 。
可不知道出于什么心理，魔尊极少让他露面，除了少数几个心腹，极魔洞中，竟然没有几人见过这位少主。
"I don't know his appearance or name; he should be at the Foundation Establishment stage," Immortal Wood pondered.
“ zhǎng xiàng bù zhī dào ， xìng míng yě bù qīng chǔ ， xiū wèi yīng gāi zài zhù jī qī ba ！” kū mù zhēn rén chén yín zhe dào 。
“长相不知道，姓名也不清楚，修为应该在筑基期吧！”枯木真人沉吟着道。
"Are you serious, Senior Brother? How do we find him?"
“ yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， shī xiōng ， zěn me zhǎo ？”
“有没有搞错，师兄，怎么找？”
"Haha, what's to fear? The Extreme Demon Sovereign is a ghost cultivator. Such阴灵力 cultivators are rare enough. Moreover, as his disciple, he must practice《玄魔真经》. The power of the Xuan Mo will be known throughout the world; just pay attention and you won't miss him," Immortal Wood said with a smile.
"Senior Brother, what's the matter?"
Not just Ning Tianyu, but even other elders showed concern on their faces. However, Immortal Wood did not immediately use a sound transmission talisman to speak openly. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Continue with what you were saying earlier."
"Sure!"
Ning Tianyu recovered quickly after being stunned for a moment. Immortal Wood nodded in relief; his composure under pressure was impressive. It seemed that his younger brother had indeed made significant progress through his focused training.

"That's quite an exaggeration!" The dark-faced elder couldn't hold back his words. "Younger Brother, what do you suggest we do?"
"For now, let's just stall," Ning Tianyu walked around the璇玑阁. "Senior Brother, we can no longer stick to our old ways. We need to send more disciples out to gather intelligence. Only with enough information can we decide whether to align ourselves with the Daoist or Evil factions."
"Senior Brother, what do you mean by that? The ancestors' rules tell us to minimize interactions with other sects," the imposing figure of the elder said in a stern voice.
