yuán běn ， tā rú cǐ dǎ suàn méi cuò ， nǎ xiǎo de lín xuān jū rán lì wǎn kuáng lán ， zài zhè yàng de liè shì xià ， ràng běn mén dì zǐ zhuǎn wēi wéi ān 。
原本，她如此打算没错，哪晓得林轩居然力挽狂澜，在这样的劣势下，让本门弟子转危为安。
Originally, her plan was correct. Who would have thought that Lin Xuan could turn the tide and save his fellow sect members from such a dire situation?
bù yòng yǔn luò ， zhè yuán běn shì hǎo shì lái zhe ， rán ér tā dāng shí yòng quán yí zhī jì yā zhì jù dú ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， hòu huàn què rú tóng dú shuǐ měng shòu yì bān de bào fā kāi le 。
不用陨落，这原本是好事来着，然而她当时用权宜之计压制剧毒，此时此刻，后患却如同毒水猛兽一般的爆发开了。
It wasn't bad to avoid falling into decline; however, at this moment, the aftereffects of the poison she had suppressed with a temporary measure began to erupt like a venomous beast, uncontrollably.
yī fā bù kě shōu shí 。
一发不可收拾。
She hadn’t expected to still be alive at this time. Given her current state, she was unprepared for such a situation. Without caution, that poison had invaded her lungs and meridians, spreading toxins throughout her body. Now all of her essence energy was concentrated in the dantian, as the core of one’s physical form and source of qi; even the yuan baby resided there.
cǐ nǚ yuán běn gēn běn jiù méi yǒu xiǎng guò ， zhè ge shí jiān ， zì jǐ yī jiù huó zhe ， duì yú zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， zì rán shì zhǔn bèi bù zú ， yī bù liú shén xià ， jìng bèi nà jù dú qīn rù le fèi fǔ ， qí jīng bā mài jiē yǒu dú sù ， rú jīn tā hún shēn de fǎ lì ， dōu diào jí dào dān tián ， qì hǎi nǎi shì xiū shì ròu shēn de gēn běn zhī chù ， yòu bèi chēng wéi líng lì zhī yuán ， yuán yīng yě zài lǐ miàn 。
此女原本根本就没有想过，这个时间，自己依旧活着，对于这种情况，自然是准备不足，一不留神下，竟被那剧毒侵入了肺腑，奇经八脉皆有毒素，如今她浑身的法力，都调集到丹田，气海乃是修士肉身的根本之处，又被称为灵力之源，元婴也在里面。
If this place were to fall, invaded by the poison, it would be a disaster beyond recovery for her.
ruò shì zhè lǐ shī shǒu ， bèi dú sù qīn rù ， nà tā de xià chǎng jiāng wàn jié bù fù 。
若是这里失守，被毒素侵入，那她的下场将万劫不复。
Hearing the girl's description, the young man with the dragon surname was extremely anxious. However, each had their expertise. Although he was an immensely powerful being at the Shen Shi stage, his cultivation method left him clueless about toxins.
tīng wán cǐ nǚ de miáo shù ， lóng xìng shào nián dà shì jiāo jí ， rán ér shù yè yǒu zhuān gōng ， tā suī rán shì fēn shén qī de dà néng cún zài ， kě yīn wèi suǒ xiū gōng fǎ de yuán gù ， duì yú dú sù ， nà shì yī qiào bù tōng 。
听完此女的描述，龙姓少年大是焦急，然而术业有专攻，他虽然是分神期的大能存在，可因为所修功法的缘故，对于毒素，那是一窍不通。
His anxiety did not help in any way.
kōng zì zháo jí ， què gēn běn bāng bù shàng máng bàn diǎn 。
空自着急，却根本帮不上忙半点。
The other disciples, though a few were somewhat familiar with poisons due to their cultivation level, were powerless against the toxins used by a Shen Shi existence. They could only sit and worry.
zhì yú qí tā de dì zǐ ， suī rán yě yǒu jǐ rén lüè tōng yòng dú ， rán ér xiàn yú xiū wèi ， duì yú fēn shén qī cún zài shǐ yòng de jù dú ， nà yě shì shù shǒu wú cè ， zhǐ néng zài nà lǐ gān zháo jí de 。
至于其他的弟子，虽然也有几人略通用毒，然而限于修为，对于分神期存在使用的剧毒，那也是束手无策，只能在那里干着急的。
How despicable!
kě wù ！
可恶！
Was she really going to watch her senior sister fall?
nán dào kàn zhe shī jiě yǔn luò ？
难道看着师姐陨落？
The young man with the dragon surname was filled with hatred but had no solution. He was like an ant on a hot pan when suddenly he heard the disciples outside erupting in loud cheers.
lóng xìng shào nián xīn zhōng hèn jí ， piān piān què yòu wú jì kě shī ， zhèng zài nà lǐ rú rè guō shàng de mǎ yǐ ， tū rán tīng dé wài miàn de dì zǐ hōng rán bào fā chū jù dà de huān hū 。
龙姓少年心中恨极，偏偏却又无计可施，正在那里如热锅上的蚂蚁，突然听得外面的弟子轰然爆发出巨大的欢呼。
The young man with the dragon surname could not help but become furious. His senior sister's life hung by a thread, yet those disciples were still carelessly rejoicing. Compared to his current mood, their cheers were incredibly irritating.
lóng xìng shào nián bù yóu de dà nù ， shī jiě mìng zài dàn xī ， nà xiē dì zǐ hái zài méi qīng méi zhòng gāo xìng xiē shén me yǔ tā cǐ kè zāo gāo de xīn qíng xiāng bǐ ， nà huān hū shēng tīng lái cì ěr dào jí chù 。
龙姓少年不由得大怒，师姐命在旦夕，那些弟子还在没轻没重高兴些什么与他此刻糟糕的心情相比，那欢呼声听来刺耳到极处。
With great anger, he rushed out like a whirlwind, about to scold them. However, who could control their emotions if they were in his position? Even a Shen Shi cultivator couldn't remain calm all the time.
dà nù zhī xià ， tā rú xuán fēng yì bān chōng chū ， zhèng yù hē chì ， zhè yǐ jīng kě yǐ shuō shì qiān nù ， rán ér suí biàn huàn yí gè rén yǔ tā yì dì ér chǔ ， shuí yòu néng kòng zhì zì jǐ de qíng xù ne ？
大怒之下，他如旋风一般冲出，正欲喝叱，这已经可以说是迁怒，然而随便换一个人与他易地而处，谁又能控制自己的情绪呢？
Before he could even speak, the disciples' cheers reached his ears. The content of their cries varied but clearly expressed extreme joy:
jiù suàn shì fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， yě bù kě néng shí shí zuò dào lěng jìng de 。
就算是分神期修仙者，也不可能时时做到冷静的。
"Junior disciple pays homage to Senior Master Lin."
rán ér hē chì hái méi yǒu chū kǒu ， zhòng dì zǐ de huān hū shēng què yòu chuán rù le ěr duǒ suǒ hū hǎn de nèi róng gè bù xiāng tóng ， dàn míng xiǎn dōu shì huān xǐ yú yuè dào jí chù ：
然而喝叱还没有出口，众弟子的欢呼声却又传入了耳朵所呼喊的内容各不相同，但明显都是欢喜愉悦到极处：
"Senior Master's divine power is unparalleled and shakes the three realms."
“ dì zǐ cān jiàn lín shī zǔ 。
“弟子参见林师祖。
"Thank you for saving my life, I will risk boiling water and fire to repay your great kindness."
“ shī zǔ shén tōng gài shì ， wēi zhèn sān jiè 。”
“师祖神通盖世，威震三界。”
At the foot of the small valley where she was recuperating, the Cloud Concealment Sect disciples had already knelt in a sea of people. Their expressions were filled with excitement and admiration. In their minds, Lin Xuan was almost like a god. Even if the founder of the Cloud Concealment Sect were to return, his reputation would not surpass that of Lin Xuan.
“ duō xiè shī zǔ jiù mìng dà dé ， dì zǐ rì hòu bì fù tāng dǎo huǒ ， yǐ bào shī zǔ dà ēn de 。”
“多谢师祖救命大德，弟子日后必赴汤蹈火，以报师祖大恩的。”
Such statements were absolutely without exaggeration—Lin Xuan's performance was always so extraordinary that it could shock heaven and earth.
xiǎo xiǎo de shān gǔ qián ， liú shǒu zài zhè lǐ yǎng shāng de yún yǐn zōng dì zǐ yǐ guì chéng yī piàn 。
小小的山谷前，留守在这里养伤的云隐宗弟子已跪成一片。
The young man with the dragon surname saw all this but did not care. Although he too was a senior elder, his reputation was much lower than Lin Xuan’s. He had no jealousy at all.
rén rén de biǎo qíng jiē shì jī dòng yǎng mù ， lín xuān zài tā men xīn mù zhōng ， jiǎn zhí yǔ tiān shén xiāng chà fǎng fú ， jiù suàn yún yǐn zōng de chuàng pài zǔ shī fù shēng lái dào cǐ dì ， shēng wàng kǒng pà yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ 。
人人的表情皆是激动仰慕，林轩在他们心目中，简直与天神相差仿佛，就算云隐宗的创派祖师复生来到此地，声望恐怕也没有办法与林轩相比。
Because everything Lin Xuan had achieved was rightfully his—saving the sect from peril several times, even if it meant saving him, such a fellow disciple would be a great fortune for the sect. The young man with the dragon surname was not someone who did not know gratitude; how could he envy or resent?
zhè yàng de shuō fǎ jué duì háo wú kuā zhāng zhī chù shuí ràng lín xuān měi yī cì de biǎo xiàn dōu zhè yàng lí pǔ ， shuō jīng tiān dì ， qì guǐ shén yě háo bù wèi guò 。
这样的说法绝对毫无夸张之处谁让林轩每一次的表现都这样离谱，说惊天地，泣鬼神也毫不为过。
On the contrary, when Lin Xuan arrived here, the young man’s expression was one of extreme excitement, as if a drowning person had suddenly grabbed a lifeline.
zhè yī qiè ， lóng xìng shào nián dōu kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， rán ér tā què háo bù zài hū ， jǐn guǎn tóng shì tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， tā de shēng wàng ， yào bǐ lín xuān zhè bàn lù rù zōng de xiū shì chà shàng xǔ duō ， dàn tā què bú huì yǒu fēn háo de jí dù 。
这一切，龙姓少年都看在眼里，然而他却毫不在乎，尽管同是太上长老，他的声望，要比林轩这半路入宗的修士差上许多，但他却不会有分毫的嫉妒。
This metaphor might be inappropriate, but his feelings were indeed like that. His senior sister was poisoned, and he was at a loss for what to do. The arrival of Senior Disciple Lin was surely divine intervention. In his mind, Lin Xuan was almost omnipotent.
yīn wèi lín xuān suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， dōu shì tā yīng dé jǐ cì zhěng jiù běn mén yú shuǐ huǒ shuō yú zì jǐ yǒu jiù mìng zhī ēn yě bù wèi guò zhè yàng de xiū shì zuò wèi tóng mén ， nǎi shì běn mén dà xìng ， lóng xìng shào nián yòu fēi bù shí hǎo dǎi de rén wù ， zěn me kě néng qù xiàn mù jí dù ？
因为林轩所有的一切，都是他应得几次拯救本门于水火说于自己有救命之恩也不为过这样的修士做为同门，乃是本门大幸，龙姓少年又非不识好歹的人物，怎么可能去羡慕嫉妒？
That poison, though extremely cunning, would definitely be resolved by Senior Disciple Lin.
qià qià xiāng fǎn ， lín xuān cǐ kè zhǎo dào zhè lǐ ， lóng xìng shào nián de biǎo qíng nà shì jī dòng yǐ jí ， jiù fǎng fú luò shuǐ zhī rén tū rán zhuā dào jiù mìng dào cǎo yī yàng 。
恰恰相反，林轩此刻找到这里，龙姓少年的表情那是激动以极，就仿佛落水之人突然抓到救命稻草一样。
Such confidence had no basis, but the young man with the dragon surname firmly believed it.
zhè ge bǐ yù huò xǔ bìng bù qià dàng ， rán ér tā de xīn qíng ， què rán jiù shì nà yàng 。
这个比喻或许并不恰当，然而他的心情，确然就是那样。
Overjoyed, he paid no attention to formalities and pulled Lin Xuan forward: "Junior Disciple Lin, you came just in time. Follow me."
shī jiě shēn zhōng jù dú ， zì jǐ zhèng kǔ wú liáng cè ， lín shī dì de dào lái ， bú shì shàng tiān de chuí lián shì shén me ， zài tā de xīn mù zhōng ， lín xuān jī hū shì wú suǒ bù néng de 。
师姐身中剧毒，自己正苦无良策，林师弟的到来，不是上天的垂帘是什么，在他的心目中，林轩几乎是无所不能的。
Before his words were finished, he dragged Lin Xuan towards the depths of the valley without hesitation.
nà dú yào suī rán diāo zuān gǔ guài dào jí chù ， dàn ruò shì lín shī dì de huà ， yí dìng kě yǐ jiě chú 。
那毒药虽然刁钻古怪到极处，但若是林师弟的话，一定可以解除。
This action left Lin Xuan bewildered. His senior brother was usually polite and steady; what had happened today?
zhè yàng de xìn xīn kě yǐ shuō sī háo dào lǐ yě wú ， rán ér lóng xìng shào nián piān piān jiù shì shēn xìn bù yí de 。
这样的信心可以说丝毫道理也无，然而龙姓少年偏偏就是深信不疑的。
He was still full of confusion.
dà xǐ zhī xià ， tā yě gù bù shàng kè tào lǐ yí ， yī bù shàng qián ， jiù jiāng lín xuān lā zhù ：“ lín shī dì ， nǐ lái de zhēn shì tài hǎo le ， kuài gēn wǒ zǒu 。”
大喜之下，他也顾不上客套礼仪，一步上前，就将林轩拉住：“林师弟，你来得真是太好了，快跟我走。”
However, the incident was sudden, and Lin Xuan knew there must be something strange.
huà yīn wèi luò ， bù yóu fēn shuō ， jiù tuō zhe lín xuān fēi xiàng shān gǔ shēn chù 。
话音未落，不由分说，就拖着林轩飞向山谷深处。
Despite his trust in this elder brother, he said nothing and followed him into the depths of the valley.
zhè yàng de dòng zuò ， jiāng lín xuān yě nòng dé yī lèng yī lèng de 。
这样的动作，将林轩也弄得一愣一愣的。
For them, such a distance was covered instantly.
zài qí xīn zhōng ， lóng shī xiōng xiàng lái yǒu lǐ wěn zhòng ， jīn tiān wèi a ……
在其心中，龙师兄向来有礼稳重，今天为啊……
Soon, Lin Xuan arrived at the cave where they were staying. The environment was simple, with just some stone tables and chairs.
chú le yí huò hái shì yí huò 。
除了疑惑还是疑惑。
Lin Xuan paid no mind to it; the pale face of the silver-eyed girl appeared before his eyes.
bù guò shì fā tū rán ， lín xuān yě zhī dào bì yǒu gǔ guài 。
不过事发突然，林轩也知道必有古怪。
"Senior Sister, look who I brought."
duì yú zhè wèi shī xiōng ， tā hái shì pǒ wèi xìn rèn de ， yě bù duō shuō ， jiù suí zhe qí fēi xiàng shān gǔ shēn chù 。
对于这位师兄，他还是颇为信任的，也不多说，就随着其飞向山谷深处。
The young man with the dragon surname's voice was filled with excitement as he turned around, clearly showing hope on his face: "Junior Disciple Lin, please take a look. Senior Sister is severely poisoned and has already invaded her lungs; she can barely hold on."
zhè yàng de jù lí ， duì yú tā men zhè yàng de cún zài zì rán shì zhuǎn shùn jí zhì 。
这样的距离，对于他们这样的存在自然是转瞬及至。
"Poison?"
hěn kuài ， lín xuān jiù dá dào le liǎng rén qī shēn de dòng kū 。
很快，林轩就达到了两人栖身的洞窟。
Lin Xuan frowned slightly, his gaze falling on the left arm of the silver-eyed girl, which was severed at the shoulder and missing.
huán jìng pǒ wèi jiǎn lòu ， zhǐ yǒu yī xiē shí zhuō shí yǐ 。
环境颇为简陋，只有一些石桌石椅。
Although the bleeding had stopped from the wound,
bù guò lín xuān zì rán shì bù zài yì ， yín tóng shào nǚ qiáo cuì de miàn kǒng yǐ yìng rù le tā de yǎn lián lǐ 。
不过林轩自然是不在意，银瞳少女憔悴的面孔已映入了他的眼帘里。
it was a sickly gray color with an unusual sweet scent emanating from it.
“ shī jiě ， nǐ kàn wǒ dài shuí lái le 。”
“师姐，你看我带谁来了。”
Sure enough, this was a poison.
lóng xìng shào nián de shēng yīn ， tòu zhe jīng xǐ ， suí hòu yòu zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， liǎn shàng hěn míng xiǎn de lù chū le qǐ pàn zhī sè ：“ shī dì ， nǐ kuài kàn kàn ， shī jiě shēn zhōng jù dú ， shēn rù fèi fǔ ， yǐ kuài yào zhī chēng bú zhù 。”
龙姓少年的声音，透着惊喜，随后又转过头颅，脸上很明显的露出了企盼之色：“师弟，你快看看，师姐身中剧毒，深入肺腑，已快要支撑不住。”
And what a strange one!
“ jù dú ？”
“剧毒？”
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as his expression turned very serious.
lín xuān méi tóu wēi zhòu ， mù guāng què luò xiàng le yín tóng shào nǚ de zuǒ shǒu ， yī tiáo yù bì ， yǐ qí jiān duàn qù ， bù yì ér fēi ， tiān zhī dào qù le nǎ lǐ 。
林轩眉头微皱，目光却落像了银瞳少女的左手，一条玉臂，已齐肩断去，不翼而飞，天知道去了哪里。
"How is it, Junior Disciple? Can you save her?"
shāng kǒu de xiān xuè suī rán zhǐ zhù 。
伤口的鲜血虽然止住。
The young man with the dragon surname’s anxious voice entered Lin Xuan’s ears. Unlike him, they had been fellow disciples since childhood, learning together and growing up side by side for tens of thousands of years. Their bond was incredibly deep.
rán ér què chéng qīng huī sè ， qiě yǒu yī gǔ guài yì de xiāng tián zhī wèi ， yóu nà shāng kǒu mí sàn ér chū 。
然而却呈青灰色，且有一股怪异的香甜之味，由那伤口弥散而出。
With any hope, he did not want to see his senior sister suffer. He focused intently on Lin Xuan, hoping to hear the words "save" from his mouth.
guǒ rán shì jù dú 。
果然是剧毒。
In just a few breaths, it felt like an eternity in his perception.
ér qiě zhè dú xìng hái zhēn shì gǔ guài dào jí chù 。
而且这毒性还真是古怪到极处。
Lin Xuan’s feelings toward this girl were naturally far less than those of the young man with the dragon surname. Since joining the Cloud Concealment Sect, she had treated him kindly. Now that she was poisoned, he could not ignore her; within his capabilities, he must do his best to save her.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， liǎn sè yě biàn dé fēi cháng yán sù 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，脸色也变得非常严肃。
He closed his eyes and released his divine sense to examine the wound on the silver-eyed girl.
“ rú hé ， shī dì ， kě yǒu jiù me ？”
“如何，师弟，可有救么？”
In a short while, it took only a cup of tea for Lin Xuan to raise his head again.
lóng xìng shào nián jǐn zhāng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ lín xuān bù tóng ， tā hé yín tóng shào nǚ kě shì cóng xiǎo jiù bài rù yún yǐn zōng ， yì qǐ xué yì ， yì qǐ chéng zhǎng ， bǐ cǐ de jiāo qíng yǐ yǒu shù wàn nián zhī jiǔ 。
龙姓少年紧张的声音传入耳朵，与林轩不同，他和银瞳少女可是从小就拜入云隐宗，一起学艺，一起成长，彼此的交情已有数万年之久。
"Ah!"
rú cǐ màn cháng de suì yuè ， liǎng rén jiān de tóng mén zhī yì zì rán shì shēn hòu wú bǐ 。
如此漫长的岁月，两人间的同门之谊自然是深厚无比。
A sigh escaped him.
zhǐ yào yǒu yī xiàn xī wàng ， lóng xìng shào nián dōu shì bù yuàn yì kàn jiàn shī jiě yǒu shì 。
只要有一线希望，龙姓少年都是不愿意看见师姐有事。
This sigh made the young man with the dragon surname extremely anxious. His heart almost leaped out of his throat.
cǐ shí ， tā quán shén guàn zhù de kàn zhe lín xuān ， zhǐ pàn wàng cóng tā de zuǐ lǐ ， tīng jiàn yǒu jiù liǎng gè zì 。
此时，他全神贯注的看着林轩，只盼望从他的嘴里，听见有救两个字。
"How is it? Is Senior Sister beyond saving?"
duǎn duǎn jǐ xī de gōng fu ， zài tā de gǎn shòu lǐ ， jìng shì màn cháng wú bǐ 。
短短几息的功夫，在他的感受里，竟是漫长无比。
His voice even carried a hint of sobs.
ér lín xuān tóng yín tóng shào nǚ jiān de qíng yì ， dāng rán wú fǎ yǔ lóng xìng shào nián xiāng bǐ ， dàn zì cóng jiā rù yún yǐn zōng ， cǐ nǚ dài zì jǐ yì zhí bù báo ， rú jīn tā shēn zhōng jù dú ， zì rán bù kě néng bù guǎn bù gù ， zài néng lì suǒ jí de fàn wéi nèi ， bì xū yòng xīn jiù zhì de 。
而林轩同银瞳少女间的情意，当然无法与龙姓少年相比，但自从加入云隐宗，此女待自己一直不薄，如今她身中剧毒，自然不可能不管不顾，在能力所及的范围内，必须用心救治的。
"No."
tā bì shàng shuāng móu ， jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， xiàng yín tóng shào nǚ de shāng kǒu tàn qù 。
他闭上双眸，将神识放出，像银瞳少女的伤口探去。
Lin Xuan shook his head: "Senior Brother, don’t worry. Although Senior Sister’s poison injury is severe, as long as it hasn't entered the dantian, Lin has methods to save her."
Originally, her plan was correct. Who would have thought that Lin Xuan could turn the tide and save his fellow sect members from such a dire situation?
It wasn't bad to avoid falling into decline; however, at this moment, the aftereffects of the poison she had suppressed with a temporary measure began to erupt like a venomous beast, uncontrollably.
She hadn’t expected to still be alive at this time. Given her current state, she was unprepared for such a situation. Without caution, that poison had invaded her lungs and meridians, spreading toxins throughout her body. Now all of her essence energy was concentrated in the dantian, as the core of one’s physical form and source of qi; even the yuan baby resided there.
If this place were to fall, invaded by the poison, it would be a disaster beyond recovery for her.
Hearing the girl's description, the young man with the dragon surname was extremely anxious. However, each had their expertise. Although he was an immensely powerful being at the Shen Shi stage, his cultivation method left him clueless about toxins.
His anxiety did not help in any way.
The other disciples, though a few were somewhat familiar with poisons due to their cultivation level, were powerless against the toxins used by a Shen Shi existence. They could only sit and worry.

"Poison?"
