“ huà shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， rán ér léi yīng bāng zhàn jù zǒng duò yě yǒu yī xiē shí rì le ， cáng bǎo tú huì fǒu yǐ luò rù dí shǒu ？”
“话是这样没错，然而雷鹰帮占据总舵也有一些时日了，藏宝图会否已落入敌手？”
"Indeed, but the Thunder Eagle Gang has occupied the main den for some time now. Could the treasure map have fallen into their hands?"
“ zhè …… shī shū fàng xīn ， cáng bǎo tú gòng fèng zài yī shí fēn yǐn mì de dì diǎn ， duì fāng jí qiè zhī jiān ， yīng gāi hěn nán fā xiàn 。≦ suí mèng xiǎo shuō ，.com”
“这……师叔放心，藏宝图供奉在一十分隐秘的地点，对方急切之间，应该很难发现。≦随夢小說，.com”
"Ah... Uncle, rest assured. The treasure map is kept in a very secluded place. They would find it difficult to discover it in a hurry."
“ ó ， nà děng duó huí zǒng duò ， lín mǒu kě fǒu kàn kàn cáng bǎo tú ？” lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le 。
“哦，那等夺回总舵，林某可否看看藏宝图？”林轩以手抚额，缓缓的开口了。
"Oh, then may I see the treasure map when we reclaim the main den?" Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead and spoke slowly.
“ dāng rán kě yǐ ， dāng nián zǔ shī yé yí xùn ， ràng běn mén shǒu hù cǐ tú ， rán ér shī shū bú shì wài rén ， kàn shàng yī kàn ， zì rán bù dǎ jǐn 。” nà zhōng nián rén wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“当然可以，当年祖师爷遗训，让本门守护此图，然而师叔不是外人，看上一看，自然不打紧。”那中年人微笑着说。
"Naturally, according to our ancestor's will, this map was entrusted to us for safekeeping. But since you are one of us, there is no harm in letting you take a look," the middle-aged man smiled.
shì yì shí yí ， rú jīn yǐ shì shàng bǎi wàn nián guò qù ， duì yú zǔ shī yé de fēn fù ， tā men biǎo miàn shàng ， suī rán bù gǎn wéi bèi ， rán ér àn dì lǐ ， qí shí dōu yǐ jīng kàn chéng yī zhǒng léi zhuì 。
事易时移，如今已是上百万年过去，对于祖师爷的吩咐，他们表面上，虽然不敢违背，然而暗地里，其实都已经看成一种累赘。
Times change, and over a million years have passed. Although they dare not openly defy their ancestors' instructions, secretly, they all consider it a burden.
yòu bú shì wán zhěng de cáng bǎo tú ， hái shǎ shǎ de zài nà lǐ shǒu hù ， zhè bú shì méi shì zhǎo shì me ？
又不是完整的藏宝图，还傻傻的在那里守护，这不是没事找事么？
Why should we still guard this incomplete treasure map? Isn't that just looking for trouble?
dāng rán ， zhè fān huà ， xīn lǐ xiǎng xiǎng kě yǐ ， zuǐ bā shàng jiù bù néng shuō ， qī shī miè zǔ de zuì míng ， shuí yě dān dài bù qǐ de 。
当然，这番话，心里想想可以，嘴巴上就不能说，欺师灭祖的罪名，谁也担待不起的。
Of course, one could think these thoughts in their hearts but not say them out loud; the crime of betraying one's master and ancestor is too serious to bear.
dé dào kěn dìng de dá fù ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ：“ jì rán rú cǐ ， nà wǒ men míng tiān ， jiù qù duó huí zǒng duò ”。
得到肯定的答复，林轩脸上露出满意之色：“既然如此，那我们明天，就去夺回总舵”。
With a positive response, Lin Xuan showed satisfaction. "Since so, we will reclaim the main den tomorrow."
suǒ wèi yè cháng mèng duō ， zhè jiàn shì qíng ， lín xuān yě bù xiǎng dān gē zì jǐ tài jiǔ shí jiān de 。
所谓夜长梦多，这件事情，林轩也不想耽搁自己太久时间的。
Time flies when you're busy. Lin Xuan did not want to waste any more time on this matter.
“ duō xiè shī shū dà ēn dà dé 。”
“多谢师叔大恩大德。”
"Thank you for your great kindness."
sān mó yì qǐ guì bài xià qù le 。
三魔一起跪拜下去了。
The three demons bowed and knelt down together.
“ hē hē ， dōu shì zì jǐ rén ， bù yòng rú cǐ jiàn wài de 。”
“呵呵，都是自己人，不用如此见外的。”
"Haha, we are all family; there's no need for such formalities."
lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō ， chī rén zuǐ duǎn ， ná rén shǒu ruǎn ， tā jì rán xiào nà le shān yuè jīn wū tú ， zhè tài dù ， dāng rán yě jiù hé ǎi le xǔ duō 。
林轩微笑着说，吃人嘴短，拿人手软，他既然笑纳了山岳金乌图，这态度，当然也就和蔼了许多。
Lin Xuan smiled. A person who accepts a gift cannot be too harsh in return. Since he had accepted the Mountain Golden Crow Map, his attitude naturally softened.
suí hòu yóu sān mó yǐn lù ， jiāng lín xuān sòng dào le lín shí de zhù chù 。
随后由三魔引路，将林轩送到了临时的住处。
Following the lead of the three demons, Lin Xuan was taken to a temporary residence.
shì yī bù dà de dòng fǔ ， lǐ miàn de chén shè yě shì jiǎn dān ér pǔ sù 。
是一不大的洞府，里面的陈设也是简单而朴素。
It was a small cave with simple and朴素的 furnishings inside.
“ shī shū ， zhè lǐ zhǐ shì běn mén de lín shí luò jiǎo zhī chù ， suǒ yǐ jiǎn lòu le yī xiē 。”
“师叔，这里只是本门的临时落脚之处，所以简陋了一些。”
"Uncle, this is just our temporary resting place; hence it's rather plain."
“ hē hē ， méi guān xì ， wǒ děng xiū xiān zhě ， fēng cān lù sù yě shì píng cháng shì ， yǒu dòng fǔ zuò wéi jū suǒ yǐ jīng hěn hǎo le 。” lín xuān bǎi le bǎi shǒu ， bù zài yì de shuō 。
“呵呵，没关系，我等修仙者，风餐露宿也是平常事，有洞府作为居所已经很好了。”林轩摆了摆手，不在意的说。
"Haha, never mind. We cultivators often endure wind and rain on the road, so having a cave as a dwelling is already quite good," Lin Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
“ nà dì zǐ jiù gào cí le 。”
“那弟子就告辞了。”
"I will take my leave then."
sān mó xíng le yī lǐ ， zhuǎn shēn tuì le chū qù 。
三魔行了一礼，转身退了出去。
The three demons bowed and turned to retreat.
děng sān rén de bèi yǐng xiāo shī dòng fǔ de dà mén ， yě hōng lōng lóng de fēng bì 。
等三人的背影消失洞府的大门，也轰隆隆的封闭。
After their figures disappeared from sight, the entrance of the cave closed with a loud rumble.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， liǎng gè chǔ wù dài chū xiàn zài le shǒu xīn lǐ miàn 。
林轩伸出手来，在腰间一拍，两个储物袋出现在了手心里面。
Lin Xuan reached out and patted his waist. Two storage pouches appeared in his palm.
bú yòng shuō ， dé zì tiān lán shuāng mó ， xiǎng bì lǐ miàn zhuāng yǒu dà liàng de bǎo wù zì jǐ zhè yī lù shàng ， hái méi yǒu lái de jí qīng lǐ shén me 。
不用说，得自天岚双魔，想必里面装有大量的宝物自己这一路上，还没有来得及清理什么。
No doubt, these were obtained from Twin Thunder Eagles; they must contain numerous treasures that he had not yet had time to sort through on this journey.
bù guò lüè yī chí yí ， lín xuān yòu jiāng tā men fàng le huí qù ， fēn mén bié lèi de zhěng lǐ bǎo wù ， qū qū yī yè de shí jiān wèi bì gòu yòng hái shì xià cì zài shuō 。
不过略一迟疑，林轩又将它们放了回去，分门别类的整理宝物，区区一夜的时间未必够用还是下次再说。
However, after some hesitation, Lin Xuan put them back, sorting the treasures meticulously. A mere night was unlikely enough for such a task; perhaps next time would be better.
suí hòu tā yòu xiù páo yī fú ， jǐ gān wǔ yán liù sè de zhèn qí fēi lüè ér chū ， zhè wǔ xíng yùn líng zhèn de zhèn qí ， céng jīng bèi tiān lán shuāng mó duó qǔ ， bù guò lín xuān miè shā le nà liǎng gè jiā huo ， zì rán yòu chóng xīn qiǎng huí lái le 。
随后他又袖袍一拂，几杆五颜六色的阵旗飞掠而出，这五行蕴灵阵的阵旗，曾经被天岚双魔夺取，不过林轩灭杀了那两个家伙，自然又重新抢回来了。
He then waved his sleeves and several colorful array flags flew out. These were the Five Elements Spirit Nurturing Array flags that had been taken by Twin Thunder Eagles but were now reclaimed by Lin Xuan after he killed them.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， jǐ dào fǎ jué dǎ le chū qù ， lín xuān shú mén shú lù de bù zhì xià le zhèn qí ， dòng fǔ yǐ bèi bǎo hù dé fēi cháng yán mì 。
右手抬起，几道法诀打了出去，林轩熟门熟路的布置下了阵旗，洞府已被保护得非常严密。
With his right hand, he cast several spells, setting up the array flags with ease. The cave was now well protected.
suī rán zài zhè lǐ àn lǐ shuō méi yǒu shuí gǎn duì zì jǐ bù lì ， bù guò xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， zhè yǐ jīng shì lín xuān de xí guàn le 。
虽然在这里按理说没有谁敢对自己不利，不过小心无大错，这已经是林轩的习惯了。
Even though it was unlikely anyone would harm him here, caution never hurt. This was Lin Xuan's habit.
zuò hǎo zhè yī qiè hòu lín xuān chóng xīn qǔ chū le nà juàn zhóu 。
做好这一切后林轩重新取出了那卷轴。
After completing everything, Lin Xuan retrieved the scroll again.
yī yè de shí jiān shuō duō bù duō ， shuì yī jiào zhuǎn shùn jí guò bù guò yǐ zú gòu tā xiū liàn tōng bǎo jué le 。
一夜的时间说多不多，睡一觉转瞬即过不过已足够他修炼通宝诀了。
A night might seem long or short, but a good rest could pass in an instant. It was sufficient for him to practice the Essence Through All Treasures Technique.
tīng qǐ lái yǒu diǎn xuán hū ， bù guò lín xuān rú jīn yǐ shì fēn shén qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， fǎ lì shēn hòu， xiū liàn tōng bǎo jué zì rán méi yǒu shén me nán dù jī hū shì lǐ jiě tōng tòu jiù kě yǐ yùn yòng le 。
听起来有点玄乎，不过林轩如今已是分神期的大能修仙者，法力深hòu，修炼通宝诀自然没有什么难度几乎是理解通透就可以运用了。
Although it sounded mystical, as a spiritual cultivator at the Spirit Refinement stage with deep cultivation, mastering this technique posed no difficulty. He needed only to understand it thoroughly and apply it.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu chí zhe juàn zhóu ， fǎ lì shùn zhe jīng mài liú dòng yǒu le gāng gāng de jīng yàn ， zhè yī huí méi yǒu fèi bàn diǎn bō zhé ， nà tōng bǎo jué jiù liú tǎng dào le nǎo hǎi zhī zhōng 。
林轩双手持着卷轴，法力顺着经脉流动有了刚刚的经验，这一回没有费半点波折，那通宝诀就流淌到了脑海之中。
Holding the scroll in both hands, Lin Xuan guided his essence through his meridians. With recent experience, he flowed the Essence Through All Treasures Technique into his mind without any hindrance.
yán cí gǔ piáo ， bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào shēn sè xǔ duō ， jī hū shì zì zì zhū xiàn ， yǐn hán miào yì 。
言辞古朴，比想象的要深涩许多，几乎是字字珠现，隐含妙义。
The ancient words were profound and much more complex than expected, each word a gem of wisdom.
lín xuān jiàn le ， xīn zhōng bù yóu de dà xǐ 。
林轩见了，心中不由得大喜。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan was overjoyed.
zhè tōng bǎo jué yuè shì shēn ào fán fù ， zhèng míng tā suǒ qū dòng de bǎo wù ， yuè shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
这通宝诀越是深奥繁复，证明它所驱动的宝物，越是非同小可。
The deeper and more intricate the Essence Through All Treasures Technique was, the greater the treasures it could drive.
suí zhe zì jǐ shí lì de zēng qiáng ， yǐ qián de yī xiē bǎo wù ， rú jīn yǐ bù hé shǒu ， zhè shān yuè jīn wū tú ， zhèng hǎo zuò wéi bǔ chōng 。
随着自己实力的增强，以前的一些宝物，如今已不合手，这山岳金乌图，正好作为补充。
With his growing strength, some old treasures no longer suited him; this Mountain Golden Crow Map would be an excellent addition.
yú shì lín xuān xīn wú páng wù ， xì xì tǐ huì qǐ lái le 。
于是林轩心无旁鹜，细细体会起来了。
Thus, Lin Xuan focused intently on understanding the technique.
hěn kuài ， lín xuān jiù jìn rù wù wǒ liǎ liǎng wàng de jìng dì ， shí jiān ， zì rán yě jì bù dé 。
很快，林轩就进入物我俩两忘的境地，时间，自然也记不得。
Soon, he entered a state of unity with the external and internal worlds, losing track of time.
dòng fǔ wài ， yàn yáng gāo zhào ， zhōng nián rén ， gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ ， hái yǒu nà pàng zi gǔ mó ， zhàn zài lín xuān de dòng fǔ qián miàn ， sān gè jiā huo ， rén rén liǎn shàng jiē dài zhe yōu sè ， jí dé yǒu rú rè guō shàng de mǎ yǐ le 。
洞府外，艳阳高照，中年人，宫装女子，还有那胖子古魔，站在林轩的洞府前面，三个家伙，人人脸上皆带着忧色，急得有如热锅上的蚂蚁了。
Outside the cave, the sun was high in the sky. The middle-aged man, the woman in court dress, and the fat ancient demon stood before Lin Xuan's cave. Each wore an anxious expression, like ants on a hot pan.
“ zhè shì zěn me huí shì ， shī shū míng míng shuō le ， xiū xī yī wǎn ， dì èr tiān yī zǎo ， jiù qù wèi wǒ men shōu huí zǒng duò ， rú jīn dōu jiǔ tiān guò qù le ， zěn me sī háo dòng jìng yě wú 。” nà pàng zi gǔ mó mǒ le mǒ é tóu shàng hàn zhū ， liǎn sè nán kàn dào jí chù 。
“这是怎么回事，师叔明明说了，休息一晚，第二天一早，就去为我们收回总舵，如今都九天过去了，怎么丝毫动静也无。”那胖子古魔抹了抹额头上汗珠，脸色难看到极处。
"What is this? Uncle said he would return to reclaim the main den after resting for one night. Nine days have passed; why has there been no sign of him?" The fat ancient demon wiped his forehead with sweat and looked extremely distressed.
“ nán dào … shī shū tā gǎi biàn zhǔ yì ， ná zhe bǎo wù zǒu le 。” gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ lǐ le lǐ fà sī ， huò xǔ shì yīn wèi zháo jí ， róng yán míng xiǎn qiáo cuì le yī xiē 。
“难道…师叔他改变主意，拿着宝物走了。”宫装女子理了理发丝，或许是因为着急，容颜明显憔悴了一些。
"Could it be... that Uncle changed his mind and left with the treasures," the woman in court dress combed her hair, looking visibly more haggard due to worry.
“ sān shī mèi ， shèn yán ， shuō huà yào xiǎo xīn yì diǎn 。”
“三师妹，慎言，说话要小心一点。”
"Third Sister, be careful; speak cautiously."
nà zhōng nián rén yī shēng dà hē ， máng jiāng tóng bàn de huà yǔ dǎ duàn le 。
那中年人一声大喝，忙将同伴的话语打断了。
The middle-aged man interrupted loudly. The woman in court dress realized she had been too bold. If Uncle heard...
gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ yě fān rán xǐng wù ， zì jǐ zhè fān huà tài xiāo zhāng le ， ruò shì bèi shī shū tīng jiàn ……， xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tā yǐ shì huā róng shī sè ， hún shēn bèi jīng xià chū de lěng hàn gěi dǎ shī le 。
宫装女子也幡然醒悟，自己这番话太嚣张了，若是被师叔听见……，想到这里，她已是花容失色，浑身被惊吓出的冷汗给打湿了。
Thinking of this, she blanched and was drenched with cold sweat from the shock.
máng yòng shǒu yǎn kǒu ， yī liǎn de hòu huǐ zhī sè 。
忙用手掩口，一脸的后悔之色。
She quickly covered her mouth, looking apologetic.
“ nǐ men liǎng gè ， dōu nài xīn yì diǎn ， shī shū jì rán bù zhì xià rú cǐ lì hài de zhèn fǎ ， kěn dìng hái zài cǐ chù ， zhǐ shì bù zhī dào yù jiàn le shén me ， yǒu diǎn dān gē ……。” zhōng nián rén tàn le yì kǒu qì de shuō 。
“你们两个，都耐心一点，师叔既然布置下如此厉害的阵法，肯定还在此处，只是不知道遇见了什么，有点耽搁……。”中年人叹了一口气的说。
"You two should wait patiently. Uncle has set up such a powerful array; he must still be here. We just don't know what happened, so we are slightly delayed..." The middle-aged man sighed.
yǒu le gāng cái de shī yán ， gōng zhuāng nǚ zǐ bù gǎn zài shuō ， wéi wéi nuò nuò ， ér nà pàng zi gǔ mó zé yī jiù liǎn yǒu bù mǎn zhī sè ， qīng qīng de dū nāng qǐ lái le ：“ kě shī shū míng míng shuō guò zhǐ xiē xī yī wǎn ， zěn me néng gòu chū ěr fǎn ěr ……。”
有了刚才的失言，宫装女子不敢再说，唯唯诺诺，而那胖子古魔则依旧脸有不满之色，轻轻的嘟囔起来了：“可师叔明明说过只歇息一晚，怎么能够出尔反尔……。”
After his earlier slip, the woman in court dress did not dare speak again, nodding submissively. The fat ancient demon remained unsatisfied and muttered under his breath: "But Uncle said he would only rest for one night; how could he change his mind..."
zhōng nián rén yáo le yáo tóu ， tái qǐ tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn lín xuān dòng fǔ de qián miàn ， duō chū le yī céng wǔ yán liù sè de bǎo hù mó ， zhèng shì zhè jìn zhì ， jiāng tā men zǔ zài zhè lǐ ， jì jìn bù qù ， zài wài miàn jiào hǎn yě méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， lián fā chū de chuán yīn fú ， yě jǐn jiē bèi nà guāng mù dǎng zhù 。
中年人摇了摇头，抬起头颅，只见林轩洞府的前面，多出了一层五颜六色的保护膜，正是这禁制，将他们阻在这里，既进不去，在外面叫喊也没有效果，连发出的传音符，也尽皆被那光幕挡住。
The middle-aged man shook his head, looking up to see a colorful protective membrane added before Lin Xuan's cave entrance. This禁制 blocked their way, preventing them from entering or calling out, even their transmission talismans were all stopped by the light barrier.
tā zuǐ shàng suī rán ān wèi zhe shī dì shī mèi ， rán ér nèi xīn shēn chù ， hé cháng bú shì tǎn tè páng huáng ne ？
他嘴上虽然安慰着师弟师妹，然而内心深处，何尝不是忐忑彷徨呢？
Though he comforted his fellow disciples, his heart was filled with anxiety and unease.
shī shū jiū jìng zài bù zài zhè lǐ ， hái zhēn shì nán shuō ， bì jìng duì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， xiǎng yào bù zhì zhè me yí gè jìn zhǐ bìng shuō bù shàng nán shuō 。
师叔究竟在不在这里，还真是难说，毕竟对分神期修仙者，想要布置这么一个禁止并说不上难说。
Was Uncle still here? It was hard to say; setting up such a prohibition for a Spirit Refinement cultivator wasn't that difficult.
gāi bú huì tā ná le bǎo wù ， jiù yī qù bù fù fǎn le ？
该不会他拿了宝物，就一去不复返了？
Could it be that he left with the treasures and never returned?
fǒu zé ， nán dào shī shū hái zhēn zài zhè líng qì xī bó de dì fāng bì guān me ？
否则，难道师叔还真在这灵气稀薄的地方闭关么？
Otherwise, could Uncle really be meditating in this place where the essence of qi is thin?
xīn zhōng gè zhǒng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， kě tā xiàn zài ， yòu néng zěn me yàng ne ， wéi yǒu xiāng xìn lín xuān de chéng nuò ， jì xù zài zhè lǐ děng xià qù le 。
心中各种念头转过，可他现在，又能怎么样呢，唯有相信林轩的承诺，继续在这里等下去了。
With various thoughts swirling, what could he do but wait? He could only trust Lin Xuan's promise.
yòu yí gè shí chén guò qù le 。
又一个时辰过去了。
Another hour passed.
duì sān mó lái shuō ， rú jīn shēn qiè tǐ huì dào le dù rì rú nián de gǎn jué ， xià miàn hái yǒu nà me duō dì zǐ xū yào tā men ān fǔ ， zhè rì zi shí zài bù hǎo guò 。
对三魔来说，如今深切体会到了度日如年的感觉，下面还有那么多弟子需要他们安抚，这日子实在不好过。
For the three demons, time felt like an eternity. They had so many disciples to console; life was hard.
shí jiān yǐ shì zhèng wǔ ， tài yáng gāo guà zài tiān kōng ， yóu yú zhè lǐ shì shān gǔ shēn chù ， yīn cǐ dǎo shì yì diǎn yě bù yán rè ， rán ér sān rén de xīn zhōng ， què dōu fán zào yǐ jí ， zhè děng dài de zī wèi ér shí zài shì nán yǐ yán yù 。
时间已是正午，太阳高挂在天空，由于这里是山谷深处，因此倒是一点也不炎热，然而三人的心中，却都烦躁以极，这等待的滋味儿实在是难以言喻。
It was noon, and the sun hung high in the sky. Although it was deep in a valley, it wasn't hot. However, their hearts were restless, making the wait unbearable.
tū rán ， yī zhèn hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qián miàn nà wǔ yán liù sè de guāng mù yě kāi shǐ shǎn shuò 。
突然，一阵轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，前面那五颜六色的光幕也开始闪烁。
Suddenly, a rumbling sound reached their ears, and the colorful light barrier began to flicker.
sān mó xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu dōu liú lù chū dà xǐ de biǎo qíng lái ”， PS： hēi hēi ， jīn tiān gēng xīn zǎo ba ， kàn wán le ， bié wàng jì tóu tuī jiàn piào ó ！（ wèi wán dài xù ）
三魔先是一呆，随后都流露出大喜的表情来”， PS：嘿嘿，今天更新早吧，看完了，别忘记头推荐票哦！（未完待续）
The three demons were momentarily stunned before their faces lit up with joy,"
PS: Hehe, I updated early today! Don't forget to leave a recommendation if you've read it. (To be continued)
"Indeed, but the Thunder Eagle Gang has occupied the main den for some time now. Could the treasure map have fallen into their hands?"
"Ah... Uncle, rest assured. The treasure map is kept in a very secluded place. They would find it difficult to discover it in a hurry."
"Oh, then may I see the treasure map when we reclaim the main den?" Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead and spoke slowly.
"Naturally, according to our ancestor's will, this map was entrusted to us for safekeeping. But since you are one of us, there is no harm in letting you take a look," the middle-aged man smiled.
Times change, and over a million years have passed. Although they dare not openly defy their ancestors' instructions, secretly, they all consider it a burden.
Why should we still guard this incomplete treasure map? Isn't that just looking for trouble?
Of course, one could think these thoughts in their hearts but not say them out loud; the crime of betraying one's master and ancestor is too serious to bear.
With a positive response, Lin Xuan showed satisfaction. "Since so, we will reclaim the main den tomorrow."
Time flies when you're busy. Lin Xuan did not want to waste any more time on this matter.
"Thank you for your great kindness."
The three demons bowed and knelt down together.
"Haha, we are all family; there's no need for such formalities."
Lin Xuan smiled. A person who accepts a gift cannot be too harsh in return. Since he had accepted the Mountain Golden Crow Map, his attitude naturally softened.
Following the lead of the three demons, Lin Xuan was taken to a temporary residence.
It was a small cave with simple and朴素的 furnishings inside.
"Uncle, this is just our temporary resting place; hence it's rather plain."
"Haha, never mind. We cultivators often endure wind and rain on the road, so having a cave as a dwelling is already quite good," Lin Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
"I will take my leave then."
The three demons bowed and turned to retreat.
