zhè dào bú shì lín xuān de zī zhì ， yuǎn shèng bié de fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， ruò lùn xīn xìng de jiān rèn chéng dù ， lín xuān xiàng lái shì zú yǐ zì ào de ， kě dān jiù zī zhì lái shuō ， què shū fá kě chén zhī chù 。 suí
这倒不是林轩的资质，远胜别的分神期修仙者，若论心性的坚韧程度，林轩向来是足以自傲的，可单就资质来说，却疏乏可陈之处。随
This wasn't due to Lin Xuan's innate talent; he far surpassed other Spirit Cultivators at the Spirit Dividing Stage. In terms of resilience, Lin Xuan had always been proud enough. However, when it came to his natural abilities, there were still areas that could be improved.
lín xuān xiàng lái bú shì shén me tiān cái ， zhǐ bù guò yǒu xiē yùn dào yǔ jī yuán ， tóng shí qín néng bǔ zhuō ， fù chū bǐ bié rén duō shí bèi de nǔ lì ， zì rán huì yǒu shōu huò 。
林轩向来不是什么天才，只不过有些运道与机缘，同时勤能补拙，付出比别人多十倍的努力，自然会有收获。
Lin Xuan was never a prodigy, just someone who benefited from good fortune and opportunities. With twice as much effort compared to others, he naturally reaped the rewards.
líng gēn yǔ zī zhì bù tóng ， lín xuān yōng yǒu de zī zhì bìng bù suàn tài chà ， dàn yě bù guò yì bān bà 。
灵根与资质不同，林轩拥有的资质并不算太差，但也不过一般罢。
Spirit Roots differed from innate talents; while Lin Xuan's natural abilities weren't bad, they were merely average at best.
yǎn qián de jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng jiān nán shēn sè ， lín xuān què méi fèi duō dà lì qì jiù néng kàn dǒng ， zhè dé yì yú tā suǒ xiū liàn de shén tōng 。
眼前的九天神罗相艰难深涩，林轩却没费多大力气就能看懂，这得益于他所修炼的神通。
The Nine Heavens Divine Net Form was difficult and intricate, but Lin Xuan managed to understand it with minimal effort. This was thanks to the techniques he had been practicing.
ér qiě bú shì bié de ， zhèng shì gāng gāng ràng lín xuān jiū jié de mì shù 。
而且不是别的，正是刚刚让林轩纠结的秘术。
And not just any technique, precisely the secret technique that had troubled him earlier—the Lesser Heavenly Realm Form!
xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng ！
小罗天法相！
Earlier, Lin Xuan had been struggling because both secret techniques shared some overlapping elements. Although the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form undoubtedly held boundless wonders, giving up his long-practiced Lesser Heavenly Realm Form felt somewhat regrettable. After all, who would willingly let their hundreds of years of effort go to waste?
gāng gāng ， lín xuān hái zài kǔ nǎo ， liǎng zhǒng mì shù ， xiāng hù zhī jiān yǒu chóng fù ， jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng suī rán kěn dìng shén miào wú fāng ， dàn ràng zì jǐ fàng qì kǔ xiū duō nián de xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng ， hái shì yǒu xiē bù shě ， bì jìng shuí yě bù yuàn yì ， jǐ bǎi nián de xīn xuè ， jiù zhè yàng fù zhū dōng liú le 。
刚刚，林轩还在苦恼，两种秘术，相互之间有重复，九天神罗相虽然肯定神妙无方，但让自己放弃苦修多年的小罗天法相，还是有些不舍，毕竟谁也不愿意，几百年的心血，就这样付诸东流了。
However, all these concerns were unnecessary. There was a connection between the two techniques, and it was quite close.
rán ér ， yī qiè de dān xīn ， quán dōu shì duō yú ， liǎng zhǒng shén tōng zhī jiān ， běn jiù yǒu lián xì ， ér qiě fēi cháng de jǐn mì 。
然而，一切的担心，全都是多余，两种神通之间，本就有联系，而且非常的紧密。
Lin Xuan raised his head, his expression shifting from surprise to joy.
cǐ shí lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng de jīng yà ， yǐ zhuǎn biàn wèi le xīn xǐ zhī sè 。
此时林轩抬起头颅，脸上的惊讶，已转变为了欣喜之色。
In fact, the Lesser Heavenly Realm Form and the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form were essentially derived from the same lineage.
yuán lái ， xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng yǔ jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng ， gēn běn jiù shì yī mài xiāng chéng de 。
原来，小罗天法相与九天神罗相，根本就是一脉相承的。
Simply put, both were fundamentally the same cultivation technique. The Lesser Heavenly Realm Form served as a foundation, while the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form was an advanced form that followed it.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， liǎng zhě gēn běn jiù shì tóng yī zhǒng gōng fǎ ， xiǎo 、 luó tiān fǎ xiàng shì jī chǔ ， ér jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng ， zé shì jiē xià lái de gāo shēn shén tōng 。
简单的说，两者根本就是同一种功法，小、罗天法相是基础，而九天神罗相，则是接下来的高深神通。
Given this, there was no question of wasted effort; to cultivate the latter required mastering the former as its base.
jì rán rú cǐ ， dāng rán bù cún zài xīn xuè làng fèi yī shuō ， xiǎng yào xiū liàn hòu zhě ， běn jiù xū yào xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng zuò jī chǔ 。
既然如此，当然不存在心血浪费一说，想要修炼后者，本就需要小罗天法相做基础。
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead with a thoughtful expression.
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chén yín zhī sè 。
林轩以手抚额，脸上露出几分沉吟之色。
The Lesser Heavenly Realm Form had been learned from Qinxin.
dāng chū ， xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng shì zài qín xīn nà lǐ xué dào de 。
当初，小罗天法相是在琴心那里学到的。
Knowing Qinxin's background, Lin Xuan was well aware. He could confidently say that his beloved wife had no connection with the Mo Yue Clan. The question of how she came to possess the Lesser Heavenly Realm Form's cultivation technique remained a mystery.
duì yǐ qín xīn de lái lì ， lín xuān zì rán shì zhī gēn zhī dǐ ， tā kě yǐ duàn dìng ， zì jǐ de zhè wèi ài qī ， yǔ mò yuè zú bù cún zài rèn hé guān xì ， nà xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng de xiū liàn mì jí jiū jìng shì zěn yàng luò zài tā de shǒu lǐ ， hái zhēn shì lìng rén huái yí 。
对以琴心的来历，林轩自然是知根知底，他可以断定，自己的这位爱妻，与墨月族不存在任何关系，那小罗天法相的修炼秘籍究竟是怎样落在她的手里，还真是令人怀疑。
Was it mere coincidence or part of some divine plan?
jiū jìng shì qiǎo hé ， hái shì yī qiè míng míng zhōng zì yǒu tiān yì 。
究竟是巧合，还是一切冥冥中自有天意。
Lian Bai didn't know either.
lín bài yě bù xiǎo de 。
林拜也不晓得。
Moreover, at this moment, there was no need to overthink the matter.
ér qiě cǐ shí cǐ kè zhè ge wèn tí ， sì hū yě méi yǒu bì yào duō zuò sī suǒ 。
而且此时此刻这个问题，似乎也没有必要多做思索。
The pressing issue now was to practice the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form and see how much benefit such a mysterious technique could bring him.
dāng wù zhī jí ， shì xiū liàn yī xià jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng ， kàn zhè zhǒng shén mì de gōng fǎ ， duì zì jǐ jiū jìng yǒu duō shǎo zhù yì 。
当务之急，是修炼一下九天神罗相，看这种神秘的功法，对自己究竟有多少助益。
With that thought in mind, Lin Xuan lowered his head again, starting to meditate on the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form's text.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān chóng xīn dì chuí xià tou lú kāi shǐ cān wù qǐ jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng de mì jí 。
心中如此想着，林轩重新地垂下头颅开始参悟起九天神罗相的秘籍。
The words weren't many; it spanned only about ten thousand characters. Due to their shared lineage, Lin Xuan found no difficulty understanding them.
zì jù bìng bù duō ， yáng yáng sǎ sǎ ， bù guò wàn yú yán ér yǐ ， yóu yú yī mài xiāng chéng de yuán gù ， lín xuān lǐ jiě qǐ lái bìng méi yǒu fēn háo huì sè 。
字句并不多，洋洋洒洒，不过万余言而已，由于一脉相承的缘故，林轩理解起来并没有分毫晦涩。
In fact, it was surprisingly simple and easy.
shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， shì chū rén yì liào de jiǎn dān yǔ róng yì 。
甚至可以说，是出人意料的简单与容易。
However, Lin Xuan did not become careless due to this ease. Techniques were too important to be taken lightly. If the cultivation failed, that would be one thing; but if something went wrong, it could lead to disastrous consequences like falling into a demon realm.
rán ér lín xuān bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ ， jiù mǎ hǔ dà yì ， gōng fǎ zhè ge dōng xī ， shì wàn wàn bù néng chū chāi chí dì ， fǒu zé ， xiū liàn bù chéng gōng hái shì xiǎo shì ， yí gè bù hǎo ， yǒu kě néng zǒu huǒ rù mó nà yàng de huà cái zhēn de shì dé bù cháng shī 。
然而林轩并没有因此，就马虎大意，功法这个东西，是万万不能出差池地，否则，修炼不成功还是小事，一个不好，有可能走火入魔那样的话才真的是得不偿失。
To avoid such situations, he had to put in extra effort during the early stages of understanding, ensuring all doubts were resolved. This way, fewer mistakes would occur.
wèi le bì miǎn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， zài qián qī cān wù de shí hòu ， jiù yào jǐn liàng duō xià gōng fū ， jiāng yǒu yí wèn de dōng xī jǐn kě néng de quán bù nòng qīng chǔ ， zhè yàng de huà ， cái huì jiǎn shǎo fàn cuò 。
为了避免这种情况，在前期参悟的时候，就要尽量多下功夫，将有疑问的东西尽可能的全部弄清楚，这样的话，才会减少犯错。
And Lin Xuan was doing just that. It was this meticulous and responsible attitude that allowed him to navigate his path in cultivation with fewer detours.
ér lín xuān xiàn zài ， jiù shì zhè me zuò ér zhèng shì zhè zhǒng rèn zhēn fù zé de tài dù ， ràng tā zài xiān dào shàng shǎo zǒu le xǔ duō wān lù yǔ bō zhé 。
而林轩现在，就是这么做而正是这种认真负责的态度，让他在仙道上少走了许多弯路与波折。
After three days and nights, Lin Xuan finally raised his head again.
zú zú guò le sān tiān sān yè de gōng fu ， lín xuān cái chóng xīn tái qǐ tóu lú 。
足足过了三天三夜的功夫，林轩才重新抬起头颅。
"Phew!"
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
He exhaled deeply, his expression complex with a mix of joy, relief, and enlightenment from resolving his doubts.
tā shū le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng fù zá yǐ jí 。
他舒了口气，脸上的表情复杂以极。
No wonder...
xīn xǐ ， shū chàng ， hái yǒu nòng qīng chǔ xīn zhōng yí dòu hòu de míng wù 。
欣喜，舒畅，还有弄清楚心中疑窦后的明悟。
Lin Xuan had always been curious about the Mo Yue Heavenly Witch Technique. This secret technique was specifically used for refining true spirit blood.
guài bù dé …
怪不得…
However, its benefits after refinement were limited because the Mo Yue Heavenly Witch Technique did not provide detailed applications for refined true spirit blood.
duì yú mò yuè tiān wū jué ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yì zhí yǒu xiē yí huò 。
对于墨月天巫诀，林轩心中一直有些疑惑。
Thus, the precious true spirit blood, once refined, only served to strengthen his body and health.
cǐ mì shù shì zhuān mén yòng yú liàn huà zhēn líng xuè mài de 。
此秘术是专门用于炼化真灵血脉的。
This was a waste of resources!
rán ér liàn huà hòu de hǎo chù ， què shì liáo liáo kě shǔ ， yīn wèi mò yuè tiān wū jué zhōng ， bìng méi yǒu liàn huà zhēn líng zhī xuè hòu de jù tǐ yùn yòng 。
然而炼化后的好处，却是寥寥可数，因为墨月天巫诀中，并没有炼化真灵之血后的具体运用。
After all, in the Three Realms, there were many medicinal herbs that could enhance one's physique. The difficulty of obtaining true spirit blood compared to these herbs was incomparable.
yú shì zhēn guì wú bǐ de zhēn líng zhī xuè ， liàn huà hòu ， yě zhōu jǐn shì qǐ dào le yī xiē qiáng shēn jiàn tǐ de zuò yòng 。
于是珍贵无比的真灵之血，炼化后，也舟仅是起到了一些强身健体的作用。
So Lin Xuan had always suspected that the Mo Yue True Spirit Technique wasn't as superficial as it appeared; refining true spirit blood should have other uses.
zhè jiǎn zhí shì bào zhēn tiān wù ！
这简直是暴珍天物！
And now, his long-held suspicions proved correct.
yào zhī dào ， sān jiè zhī zhōng ， néng gòu qiáng shēn jiàn tǐ de líng yào hěn duō ， ér zhēn líng zhī xuè xiǎng yào dé dào de nán dù ， yǔ zhè xiē líng yào ， gēn běn jiù shì bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ de 。
要知道，三界之中，能够强身健体的灵药很多，而真灵之血想要得到的难度，与这些灵药，根本就是不可同日而语的。
In fact, the Mo Yue Heavenly Witch Technique and the Lesser Heavenly Realm Form were both foundational to the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān yì zhí yí huò ， mò yù zhēn líng jué yīng gāi bú shì xiàng biǎo miàn nà me fū qiǎn ， liàn huà zhēn líng zhī xuè hòu ， yīng gāi shì bié yǒu yòng tú 。
所以林轩一直疑惑，墨玉真灵诀应该不是像表面那么肤浅，炼化真灵之血后，应该是别有用途。
In other words, mastering the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form required proficiency in these two techniques first.
ér xiàn zài ， zhèng míng tā yì zhí yǐ lái de cāi cè ， bìng méi yǒu cuò 。
而现在，证明他一直以来的猜测，并没有错。
Firstly, he needed to master the Lesser Heavenly Realm Form thoroughly. Then, using the Mo Yue True Spirit Technique to refine true spirit blood. There was no specific requirement for which type of true spirit; any would do.
yuán lái mò yuè tiān wū jué yǔ xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng yī yàng ， dōu shì wèi jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng dǎ jī chǔ 。
原来墨月天巫诀与小罗天法相一样，都是为九天神罗相打基础。
Only after that could one practice the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form.
huàn jù huà shuō ， xiū liàn jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng ， qián miàn zhè liǎng zhǒng gōng fǎ ， nǎi shì qián tí 。
换句话说，修炼九天神罗相，前面这两种功法，乃是前提。
The greatest difference between the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form and the former was its ability to harness true spirit power. Although it only utilized a portion of the true spirit's strength, this still made a significant difference.
shǒu xiān ， xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng bì xū xiū liàn dào jīng tōng de dì bù ， suí hòu yòng mò yù zhēn líng jué liàn huà zhēn líng zhī xuè ， zhè qí zhōng ， bìng méi yǒu yāo qiú shì nǎ yī zhǒng zhēn líng de xuè mài ， zǒng zhī ， zhǐ yào shì zhēn líng jiù kě yǐ 。
首先，小罗天法相必须修炼到精通的地步，随后用墨玉真灵诀炼化真灵之血，这其中，并没有要求是哪一种真灵的血脉，总之，只要是真灵就可以。
Moreover, true spirit power could be stacked.
suí hòu ， cái kě yǐ xiū liàn jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng 。
随后，才可以修炼九天神罗相。
In other words, refining one type of true spirit blood would greatly enhance the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form's power.
ér jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng yǔ qián zhě de zuì dà bù tóng zhī chù ， shì kě yǐ jiè zhù zhēn líng zhī lì ， suī rán zhǐ shì liàn huà zhēn xuè de nà zhǒng zhēn líng de yī bù fèn lì liàng ， dàn yī jiù shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
而九天神罗相与前者的最大不同之处，是可以借助真灵之力，虽然只是炼化真血的那种真灵的一部分力量，但依旧是非同小可。
Refining the power from two types of true spirit blood would undoubtedly surpass that of just one.
ér qiě zhēn líng zhī lì shì kě yǐ dié jiā de 。
而且真灵之力是可以叠加的。
By extension...
yě jiù shì shuō zài xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng de jī chǔ shàng ， liàn huà le yī zhǒng zhēn líng zhī xuè ， wēi lì huì dà dà zēng qiáng 。
也就是说在小罗天法相的基础上，炼化了一种真灵之血，威力会大大增强。
The more true spirit blood refined, the stronger the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form became.
liàn huà liǎng zhǒng zhēn líng zhī xuè de lì liàng ， kěn dìng yòu yuǎn zài yī zhǒng zhēn líng zhī xuè de wēi lì zhī shàng 。
炼化两种真灵之血的力量，肯定又远在一种真灵之血的威力之上。
Of course, apart from this, the cultivation level and strength of the cultivator also played a proportional role. This was obvious.
yǐ cǐ lèi tuī ……。
以此类推……。
With these two foundational techniques as a base, the practice of the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form wasn't particularly difficult.
liàn huà de zhēn líng zhī xuè yuè duō ， zhè jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng de wēi lì yě jiù yuè qiáng 。
炼化的真灵之血越多，这九天神罗相的威力也就越强。
The most challenging part of this technique was actually obtaining true spirit blood.
dāng rán ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng yǔ xiū shì běn shēn de fǎ lì jìng jiè ， yě tóng yàng chéng zhèng bǐ ， zhè yì diǎn ， shì xiǎn ér yì jiàn dì 。
当然，除此以外，九天神罗相与修士本身的法力境界，也同样成正比，这一点，是显而易见地。
After all, true spirits were extraordinary beings; even the weakest ones could match the power of great cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Stage. Such formidable creatures wouldn’t willingly provoke them unless they had a good reason or were extremely powerful.
ér yǒu le qián miàn liǎng zhǒng gōng fǎ zuò jī chǔ ， jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng de xiū liàn ， bìng méi yǒu shén me wéi nán zhī chù 。
而有了前面两种功法做基础，九天神罗相的修炼，并没有什么为难之处。
And even if one wasn't afraid to die, or was incredibly strong, attracting true spirits wasn't easy because true spirits had their own specific habitats—true spirit spaces.
cǐ gōng fǎ zuì lìng rén tóu téng de ， qí shí bú shì xiū liàn ， ér shì zhēn líng zhī xuè de huò dé 。
此功法最令人头疼的，其实不是修炼，而是真灵之血的获得。
Their appearance in the Three Realms depended on these powerful beings' willingness. Of course, top cultivators from human realms or the demon and underworld realms could tear through space barriers to reach those places.
yào zhī dào ， zhēn líng kě shì fēi tóng yī bān de shēng wù ， jí shǐ shì zuì ruò de zhēn líng ， shí lì yě zú yǐ pì měi dù jié qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。
要知道，真灵可是非同一般的生物，即使是最弱的真灵，实力也足以媲美渡劫期的大能修仙者。
But such abilities were beyond most Tribulation Transcending Cultivators.
zhè yàng kě pà de shēng wù ， shuí yǒu shì méi shì ， huì chī bǎo le chēng de qù luō hǔ xū ， nà bú shì nǎo dài yǒu wèn tí ， jiù shì lǎo shòu xīng shàng diào ， xiǎng yào zhǎo sǐ 。
这样可怕的生物，谁有事没事，会吃饱了撑的去捋虎须，那不是脑袋有问题，就是老寿星上吊，想要找死。
In the Three Realms, there weren't many great cultivators with this ability—countable on one's fingers. And even if they had it, why would they seek out true spirits for no reason?
ér qiě jí shǐ nǐ zhēn bù pà sǐ ， huò zhě shuō ， shí lì qiáng hèng dào jí chù ， xiǎng zhāo rě zhēn líng ， yě bú shì nà me róng yì ， yīn wèi zhēn líng shì yǒu zhuān mén de qī xī zhī dì ， zhēn líng kōng jiān dì 。
而且即使你真不怕死，或者说，实力强横到极处，想招惹真灵，也不是那么容易，因为真灵是有专门的栖息之地，真灵空间地。
Of course, not all true spirit blood could be obtained by failing to find a true spirit or reach its space.
xiǎng bù xiǎng chū xiàn zài sān jiè ， quán píng zhè xiē qiáng hèng de shēng wù yuàn yì ， dāng rán ， rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， huò zhě mó jiè yǔ yīn sī jiè de dǐng jiān rén wù ， yě yǒu bàn fǎ sī liè kōng jiān fèng xì ， dǐ dá zhēn líng kōng jiān qù 。
想不想出现在三界，全凭这些强横的生物愿意，当然，人类修仙者，或者魔界与阴司界的顶尖人物，也有办法撕裂空间缝隙，抵达真灵空间去。
In the world, there were always exceptions.
dàn zhè yàng de shén tōng ， yì bān de dù jié qī cún zài yě shì zuò bú dào de 。
但这样的神通，一般的渡劫期存在也是做不到的。
True spirits didn't eat human food, but occasionally interacted with the Three Realms.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， yǒu zhè zhǒng shén tōng de dà néng ， bù shuō qū zhǐ kě shǔ ， dàn fān lái fù qù de jì suàn ， yě jiù nà me jǐ gè ， rán ér tā men yòu bú huì xiū xí jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng de mì shù ， wú yuán wú gù de pǎo qù zhāo rě zhēn líng zuò shén me ？
放眼三界，有这种神通的大能，不说屈指可数，但翻来覆去的计算，也就那么几个，然而他们又不会修习九天神罗相的秘术，无缘无故的跑去招惹真灵做什么？
Various coincidences and opportunities led some true spirit blood to flow out, such as Lin Xuan's Qilin True Spirit Blood and the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird True Spirit Blood, which he had obtained through these means.
dāng rán ， yě bú shì shuō ， zhǎo bú dào zhēn líng ， qù bù liǎo zhēn líng kōng jiān ， jiù shōu jí bú dào zhēn líng zhī xuè le 。
当然，也不是说，找不到真灵，去不了真灵空间，就收集不到真灵之血了。

And even if one wasn't afraid to die, or was incredibly strong, attracting true spirits wasn't easy because true spirits had their own specific habitats—true spirit spaces.
Their appearance in the Three Realms depended on these powerful beings' willingness. Of course, top cultivators from human realms or the demon and underworld realms could tear through space barriers to reach those places.
But such abilities were beyond most Tribulation Transcending Cultivators.
In the Three Realms, there weren't many great cultivators with this ability—countable on one's fingers. And even if they had it, why would they seek out true spirits for no reason?
Of course, not all true spirit blood could be obtained by failing to find a true spirit or reach its space.
In the world, there were always exceptions.
True spirits didn't eat human food, but occasionally interacted with the Three Realms.
Various coincidences and opportunities led some true spirit blood to flow out, such as Lin Xuan's Qilin True Spirit Blood and the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird True Spirit Blood, which he had obtained through these means.
