第两千四百七十五章运气不错

The others had no objections. The venerated elder with the family name Fan led the way, and the rest followed in a line. Lin Xuan was placed in the middle; there were two cultivators at the front and back of him.

qí tā rén zì wú yì yì ， suí hòu yóu fàn xìng lǎo zhě lǐng tóu ， qí yú zhī rén zé yú guàn gēn shàng qù le ， lín xuān bèi ān pái zài zhōng jiān de wèi zhì ， qián miàn hòu fāng ， dōu gè yǒu liǎng míng xiū xiān zhě 。

其他人自无异议，随后由范姓老者领头，其余之人则鱼贯跟上去了，林轩被安排在中间的位置，前面后方，都各有两名修仙者。

Whether this was just a coincidence or if they were somewhat wary of him, it was hard to say.

ér zhè jiū jìng shì qiǎo hé ， hái shì qí yú zhī rén duì tā yǒu xiē bù fàng xīn ， zé hěn nán shuō 。

而这究竟是巧合，还是其余之人对他有些不放心，则很难说。

Lin Xuan naturally didn't care. With his strength, did he need to worry about a few Core Formation Period cultivators? If these fellows followed the rules, that was fine; but if they intended to harm him, it would be like sending a lamb to the tiger's mouth.

lín xuān dāng rán shì bù zài hū ， yǐ tā de shí lì ， nán dào hái xū yào gù jì qū qū jǐ míng dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， zhè jǐ gè jiā huo xún guī dǎo jǔ yě jiù bà le ， rú guǒ yì tú duì zì jǐ bù lì ， bù guò shì sòng yáng rù hǔ kǒu ér yǐ 。

林轩当然是不在乎，以他的实力，难道还需要顾忌区区几名洞玄期修仙者，这几个家伙循规蹈矩也就罢了，如果意图对自己不利，不过是送羊入虎口而已。

The group moved cautiously towards the Ice Arrow Mountain in front of them. Although they had controlled their speed, it still took only half an hour to arrive.

yī xíng rén xiǎo xīn yì yì ， xiàng qián fāng de bīng jiàn shān fēi qù 。

一行人小心翼翼，像前方的冰箭山飞去。

Before them stood ice mountains, not unusual on the Cold Soul Ice Plain. However, these ice mountains were shaped differently, like clusters of arrows pointing towards the sky. They weren't particularly tall or majestic, but their imposing presence was awe-inspiring.

suī rán tā men yǒu kè yì kòng zhì dùn sù ， dàn hái shì zhǐ huā le xiǎo bàn gè shí chén jiù dào le 。

虽然他们有刻意控制遁速，但还是只花了小半个时辰就到了。

"Companions, be careful," the voice of the venerated elder Fan entered everyone's ears. This was his second warning.

zhǐ jiàn qián fāng bīng shān lín lì ， yuán běn zài hán pò bīng yuán zhè bìng bù chū qí ， rán ér nà xiē bīng shān de xíng zhuàng ， què yǔ zhòng bù tóng ， jiù rú tóng yī cù cù de lì jiàn ， zhí zhǐ cāng tiān ， suī rán tán bù shàng gāo dà wēi é ， dàn nà qì shì ， yī jiù shì dòng rén xīn pò 。

只见前方冰山林立，原本在寒魄冰原这并不出奇，然而那些冰山的形状，却与众不同，就如同一簇簇的利箭，直指苍天，虽然谈不上高大巍峨，但那气势，依旧是动人心魄。

The others' expressions turned serious; they couldn't afford to be careless. Their Qi Control Technique ran at its peak. But an unexpected scene unfolded.

“ gè wèi dào yǒu xiǎo xīn le ， bīng jiàn shòu suī rán bú shì shén me gāo jiē yāo zú ， dān gè de shí lì yě jiù xiāng dāng yú níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， dàn shù liàng jí duō ， ruò shì bèi tā men chán shàng ， hái shì fēi cháng má fán de 。” fàn xìng lǎo zhě de chuán yīn jìn rù ěr duǒ ， zhè yǐ jīng shì tā dì èr cì tí xǐng le 。

“各位道友小心了，冰箭兽虽然不是什么高阶妖族，单个的实力也就相当于凝丹期修仙者，但数量极多，若是被牠们缠上，还是非常麻烦的。”范姓老者的传音进入耳朵，这已经是他第二次提醒了。

They moved as if facing a formidable enemy, but when they passed through Ice Arrow Mountain, everything went smoothly. Within a ten-thousand-mile radius, there was no trace of any beasts. If not for the peculiar shapes of these mountains, they might have thought they had taken the wrong path.

qí tā rén xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， zì rán bù gǎn diào yǐ qīng xīn ， liǎn qì shù yuè fā de yùn zhuàn dào jí zhì ， rán ér chū rén yì liào de yí mù fā shēng le 。

其他人心中一凛，自然不敢掉以轻心，敛气术越发的运转到极致，然而出人意料的一幕发生了。

Thus, much to their surprise, the risks were minimal as they easily crossed Ice Arrow Mountain.

tā men rú lín dà dí ， xiǎo xīn yì yì ， kě zhēn jīng guò bīng jiàn shān shí ， què shùn lì yǐ jí ， fāng yuán wàn lǐ ， nǎ lǐ yǒu shén me yāo shòu de zōng jì ， rú guǒ bú shì zhè lǐ de shān fēng xíng zhuàng qí tè ， tā men dōu yào yǐ wéi ， shì bú shì zǒu cuò lù le 。

他们如临大敌，小心翼翼，可真经过冰箭山时，却顺利以极，方圆万里，哪里有什么妖兽的踪迹，如果不是这里的山峰形状奇特，他们都要以为，是不是走错路了。

"Venerable Fan, what's going on?"

jiù zhè yàng ， léi shēng dà ， yǔ diǎn xiǎo ， yuán běn zhòng rén shì rú lǚ bó bīng ， nǎ zhī dào què jīng xiǎn quán wú ， shùn lì yì cháng de jiù yuè guò bīng jiàn shān le 。

就这样，雷声大，雨点小，原本众人是如履薄冰，哪知道却惊险全无，顺利异常的就越过冰箭山了。

The voice of the woman in court attire entered his ears.

“ fàn dào yǒu ， zhè shì zěn me huí shì ？”

“范道友，这是怎么回事？”

"How should I know? According to reason, this shouldn't be happening," the venerated elder's face was full of confusion. He turned around: "Brother Fu, have you noticed anything unusual?"

nà gōng zhuāng měi fù de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。

那宫装美妇的声音传入耳朵里。

"No."

“ nǐ wèn lǎo fū ， wǒ yòu nǎ lǐ xiǎo de ， àn lǐ ， zhè lǐ bù yīng gāi shì zhè yàng de 。” lǎo zhě de liǎn shàng mǎn shì mí huò ， huí guò tóu ：“ fù xiōng ， nǐ kàn chū shén me duān ní lái le me ？”

“妳问老夫，我又哪里晓得，按理，这里不应该是这样的。”老者的脸上满是迷惑，回过头：“付兄，你看出什么端倪来了么？”

The man in the brocade robe shook his head; his expression was equally confused.

“ méi yǒu 。”

“没有。”

After a brief discussion among the cultivators, they couldn't come to any conclusion.

jǐn páo dà hàn yáo le yáo tóu ， liǎn shàng tóng yàng mǎn shì mí huò bù jiě zhī sè 。

锦袍大汉摇了摇头，脸上同样满是迷惑不解之色。

"Enough, enough. No danger means we've had good luck. Why worry about it? Do you really want to fight those Ice Arrow beasts?"

zhòng xiū shì yì lùn le piàn kè ， què bù dé yào lǐng 。

众修士议论了片刻，却不得要领。

The sound of Evil Fire Head Thug entered their ears, his face showing a lack of concern. In his view, such discussions were meaningless.

“ hǎo le hǎo le ， méi yǒu yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， zhǐ néng shuō míng wǒ men yùn qì bù cuò ， zhè yǒu shén me hǎo kǔ nǎo de ， nán dào gè wèi hái zhēn xiǎng yǔ nà bīng jiàn shòu dà zhàn yī cháng me ？”

“好了好了，没有遇见危险，只能说明我们运气不错，这有什么好苦恼的，难道各位还真想与那冰箭兽大战一场么？”

Although the other cultivators' opinions varied slightly, under these circumstances, they couldn't reach any conclusion, so they stopped talking and simply increased their vigilance for the rest of the journey.

è huǒ tóu tuó de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎn shàng dài zhe bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè ， zài tā kàn lái ， zhè yàng de tǎo lùn ， gēn běn jiù shì méi yǒu yì yì de 。

恶火头陀的声音传入耳朵，脸上带着不以为然之色，在他看来，这样的讨论，根本就是没有意义的。

Thus, everyone continued on their way.

qí tā xiū shì de kàn fǎ suī rán lüè yǒu bù tóng ， dàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià què rán hěn nán tǎo lùn chū yí gè jié guǒ ， gù ér yě dōu zhù kǒu bù shuō ， dà bù liǎo xià miàn de lǚ tú ， dà jiā duō xiǎo xīn yī xiē jiù shì le 。

其他修士的看法虽然略有不同，但这种情况下确然很难讨论出一个结果，故而也都住口不说，大不了下面的旅途，大家多小心一些就是了。

...

yú shì ， zhòng rén jì xù shàng lù 。

于是，众人继续上路。

Several days passed quickly.

……

……

They had come much closer to the core of the Cold Soul Ice Plain. Each cultivator's face showed a hint of worry—not because they had encountered too many dangers or troubles recently; quite the opposite, they were too lucky in recent days.

zhuǎn yǎn ， yòu guò qù le shù rì 。

转眼，又过去了数日。

No danger was met along the way.

tā men jù lí hán pò bīng yuán de fù xīn wèi zhì ， yòu jiē jìn le xǔ duō ， měi yī míng xiū shì de liǎn shàng ， dōu dài zhe jǐ fēn yōu lǜ zhī sè ， bìng bú shì tā men zuì jìn de lù tú ， yù jiàn le tài duō de wēi xiǎn yǔ má fán ， qià qià xiāng fǎn ， zuì jìn zhè jǐ tiān ， tā men shí zài tài shùn le diǎn 。

他们距离寒魄冰原的腹心位置，又接近了许多，每一名修士的脸上，都带着几分忧虑之色，并不是他们最近的路途，遇见了太多的危险与麻烦，恰恰相反，最近这几天，他们实在太顺了点。

On the surface, it seemed like good news, but upon careful analysis, this might not be the case.

méi yǒu yù jiàn rèn hé de wēi xiǎn 。

没有遇见任何的危险。

They weren't just entering the Cold Soul Ice Plain; they were now at its core. According to intelligence, many high-rank demons resided here. In recent days, they had passed through several dangerous areas smoothly, which was indeed strange.

biǎo miàn shàng shì hǎo shì ， rán ér zǐ xì fēn xī ， qí shí wèi bì rú cǐ 。

表面上是好事，然而仔细分析，其实未必如此。

One occurrence could have been good luck.

rú jīn ， tā men kě bú shì gāng jìn rù hán pò bīng yuán ， ér shì yǐ jīng lái dào le qí fù xīn wèi zhì ， gēn jù qíng bào ， zhè lǐ kě jù jū zhe zhòng duō de gāo jiē yāo zú ， zhè jǐ tiān ， tā men jiù yī lián jīng guò le shù gè bǐ jiào wēi xiǎn de dì diǎn ， rán ér dōu shì shùn shùn lì lì de ， zhè bú shì tài qí guài le 。

如今，他们可不是刚进入寒魄冰原，而是已经来到了其腹心位置，根据情报，这里可聚居着众多的高阶妖族，这几天，他们就一连经过了数个比较危险的地点，然而都是顺顺利利的，这不是太奇怪了。

Two occurrences might still be due to good fortune.

yī cì kě néng shì yùn qì bù cuò 。

一次可能是运气不错。

But three or four times, it became too far-fetched to explain with luck alone.

liǎng cì hái yǒu kě néng shì yùn qì hǎo 。

两次还有可能是运气好。

Six cultivators were battle-hardened; they had seen many storms. How could they not understand this?

kě sān cì sì cì yòng yùn qì lái jiě shì jiù tài guò qiān qiǎng le 。

可三次四次用运气来解释就太过牵强了。

Now everyone's faces showed a gloomy expression, even Lin Xuan was somewhat uneasy. He hadn't hidden his strength, but a Spirit Transformation Period cultivator wasn't invincible.

liù rén dōu shì shēn jīng bǎi zhàn de xiū xiān zhě ， dà fēng dà làng lǐ chuǎng guò ， zhè diǎn dào lǐ qǐ huì bù xiǎo de 。

六人都是身经百战的修仙者，大风大浪里闯过，这点道理岂会不晓得。

Lin Xuan wasn't so arrogant. This strange encounter made him feel slightly unsettled.

rú jīn ， rén rén de liǎn shàng dōu dài zhe yīn yù zhī sè ， biàn shì lín xuān ， xīn zhōng yě yǒu diǎn dí gū ， tā shì yǐn cáng le shí lì méi cuò ， dàn fēn shén qī xiū shì ， bìng bù dài biǎo jiù tiān xià wú dí le 。

如今，人人的脸上都带着阴郁之色，便是林轩，心中也有点嘀咕，他是隐藏了实力没错，但分神期修士，并不代表就天下无敌了。

What exactly was going on?

lín xuān hái méi yǒu zì dà dào nà ge dì bù ， rú jīn zhè qí guài de zāo yù ， ràng tā xīn zhōng ， yě yǒu diǎn bù tà shí le 。

林轩还没有自大到那个地步，如今这奇怪的遭遇，让他心中，也有点不踏实了。

Of course, despite the doubts, he didn't harbor any fear in his heart.

jiū jìng shì zěn me yī huí shì ne ？

究竟是怎么一回事呢？

As they say, good things come to those who wait; how could one hope to obtain a treasure without taking some risks?

dāng rán ， yí huò guī yí huò ， lín xuān xīn zhōng kě méi yǒu bàn fēn wèi jù de 。

当然，疑惑归疑惑，林轩心中可没有半分畏惧的。

Compared to Lin Xuan's composure, others were much more anxious. They desperately wanted something to happen, and this situation was too strange.

sú huà shuō ， hǎo shì duō mó ， xiǎng yào qǔ dào bǎo wù ， yòu zěn me kě néng yì diǎn fēng xiǎn dōu bù mào ne ？

俗话说，好事多磨，想要取到宝物，又怎么可能一点风险都不冒呢？

But nothing happened along the way.

yǔ lín xuān de dàn dìng xiāng bǐ ， qí tā rén ， míng xiǎn jiù yào jiāo lǜ dé duō ， tā men pò qiè xī wàng yù jiàn diǎn shén me ， rú jīn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， shí zài shì tài guò guǐ yì le 。

与林轩的淡定相比，其他人，明显就要焦虑得多，他们迫切希望遇见点什么，如今这种情况，实在是太过诡异了。

Thus, that morning, everyone finally stopped their journey and gathered in a hidden place, discussing heatedly.

rán ér yī lù hái shì wú shì 。

然而一路还是无事。

"Given the current situation, what do you all think?"

yú shì zhè tiān shàng wǔ ， zhòng rén zhōng yú tíng zhǐ le gǎn lù ， jù zài yī yǐn bì zhī chù ， qī zuǐ bā shé de tǎo lùn qǐ lái le 。

于是这天上午，众人终于停止了赶路，聚在一隐蔽之处，七嘴八舌的讨论起来了。

The venerated elder Fan spoke first. The current situation had slipped out of his control. Before they left, he had considered various dangers and traps, even the possibility of being surrounded by high-rank demon cultivators; but he hadn't anticipated this scenario.

“ rú jīn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， gè wèi dào yǒu yǒu shén me kàn fǎ me ？”

“如今这种情况，各位道友有什么看法么？”

"Recently, not only have we not encountered any high-rank demons, but we've seen very few low-rank beasts on our journey," the voice of the man in the brocade robe entered everyone's ears.

xiān kāi kǒu de shì fàn xìng lǎo zhě ， rú jīn de jú miàn ， yǒu xiē tuō lí zhǎng kòng ， lái zhī qián ， tā kǎo lǜ le gè zhǒng gè yàng de wēi xiǎn ， yǒu kě néng zāo yù dào de xiàn jǐng má fán ， shèn zhì bèi gāo jiē yāo xiū wéi gōng de qíng kuàng dōu xiǎng dào le ， jiù shì méi yǒu liào dào huì shì xiàn zài rú jīn jú miàn 。

先开口的是范姓老者，如今的局面，有些脱离掌控，来之前，他考虑了各种各样的危险，有可能遭遇到的陷阱麻烦，甚至被高阶妖修围攻的情况都想到了，就是没有料到会是现在如今局面。

"Indeed, I noticed that as well."

“ zuì jìn jǐ tiān ， bié shuō gāo jiē yāo xiū ， yī lù shàng ， wǒ men lián nà xiē dī jiē yāo shòu ， yě hěn shǎo jiàn dào ， gè wèi dào yǒu yǒu zhù yì me ？”

“最近几天，别说高阶妖修，一路上，我们连那些低阶妖兽，也很少见到，各位道友有注意么？”

The white-haired old woman nodded. Her gloomy expression made her look even uglier.

jǐn páo dà hàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。

锦袍大汉的声音传入耳朵。

"If my guess is correct, something unusual has happened within the demon race."

“ bù cuò ， zhè yì diǎn lǎo shēn yě liú yì dào le 。”

“不错，这一点老身也留意到了。”

The venerated elder Fan's usual smiling face was gone; he spoke slowly: "What should we do? Shouldn't we abandon this mission?"

nà bái fà lǎo yù diǎn le diǎn tóu ， yīn chén de miàn róng xiǎn de yuè fā chǒu lòu 。

那白发老妪点了点头，阴沉的面容显得越发丑陋。

The voice of the woman in court attire sounded anxious. She seemed to be the most cautious among them.

“ rú guǒ wǒ méi yǒu liào cuò de huà ， yāo zú nèi bù kǒng pà fā shēng le shén me biàn gù 。”

“如果我没有料错的话，妖族内部恐怕发生了什么变故。”

"What?!"

fàn xìng lǎo zhě yí guàn xī xiào de biǎo qíng yě bú jiàn le ， huǎn huǎn kāi kǒu ， shān yǔ yù lái fēng mǎn lóu ， tā cóng zhè píng jìng zhōng ， yǐ xiù chū le bù tuǒ 。

范姓老者一贯嬉笑的表情也不见了，缓缓开口，山雨欲来风满楼，他从这平静中，已嗅出了不妥。

Before she finished speaking, the long-haired head thug leaped up. The venerated elder Fan turned around with an expression of dissatisfaction: "Lady Yi, what are you saying? We've finally reached the heart of the Cold Soul Ice Plain; how can we abandon this mission?"

“ nà zěn me bàn ne ， yào bù ， wǒ men fàng qì zhè cì de rèn wù 。” nà gōng zhuāng měi fù jiāo lǜ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tā sì hū shì zhè jǐ rén zhōng zuì dǎn xiǎo jǐn shèn de yí gè 。

“那怎么办呢，要不，我们放弃这次的任务。”那宫装美妇焦虑的声音传入耳朵，她似乎是这几人中最胆小谨慎的一个。

"Indeed," the man in the brocade robe shook his head. "We know where the druid's treasure is now, but as they say, long nights breed many dreams. If we delay any longer, other cultivators might also get clues, and then we'll regret it."

“ shén me ？”

“什么？”

"But..."

tā huà yīn gāng luò ， nà pī fà tóu tuó jiù yǐ jīng bèng qǐ lái le ， fàn xìng lǎo zhě yě huí guò tóu ， liǎn shàng dài zhe bù mǎn zhī sè ：“ yì fū rén zhè huà zěn me shuō de ， rú jīn wǒ men hǎo bù róng yì lái dào hán pò bīng yuán shēn chù ， zěn me néng gòu fàng qì ne ？”

她话音刚落，那披发头陀就已经蹦起来了，范姓老者也回过头，脸上带着不满之色：“易夫人这话怎么说的，如今我们好不容易来到寒魄冰原深处，怎么能够放弃呢？”

"Lady Yi, you're overthinking this. Although our situation isn't favorable, something unusual may have happened within the demon race," Lin Xuan's voice entered everyone's ears. This perspective was different from theirs; no matter what, he wouldn't give up on the treasure needed to refine his Inner Body. That's why he spoke in such a way.

“ bù cuò ， rú jīn shì wǒ men zhī dào nà dé lǔ yī qián bèi de yí bǎo zhī suǒ ， dàn sú huà shuō ， yè cháng mèng duō ， ruò shì cǐ shì tuō yán xià qù ， nán bǎo qí tā de xiū shì ， bú huì yě dé dào xiàn suǒ ， nà shí hòu ， wǒ men kě jiù zhuī huǐ mò jí le 。” jǐn páo dà hàn yáo le yáo tóu ， zhè zhǒng bàn tú ér fèi de zuò fǎ shì tā suǒ shēn wù tòng jué de 。

“不错，如今是我们知道那德鲁伊前辈的遗宝之所，但俗话说，夜长梦多，若是此事拖延下去，难保其他的修士，不会也得到线索，那时候，我们可就追悔莫及了。”锦袍大汉摇了摇头，这种半途而废的做法是他所深恶痛绝的。

"Indeed, Comrade Lin is right. We shouldn't abandon our mission just because of this situation. At worst, we can be more careful for the rest of the journey."

“ kě ……”

“可……”

...
