第两千九百四十三章 手镯

Chapter 2943: The Storage Bracelet

“ bù cuò ， líng bō gǔ rù kǒu xiāo shī ， shí wèi wǒ děng xiū shì de yī jiàn hàn shì ， ér zài liǎng bǎi nián qián ， lǎo fū jī yuán qiǎo hé ， fā xiàn le yī jiàn bǎo wù ， qí lái lì ， què yǔ líng bō gǔ yǒu zhe qiān sī wàn lǚ de qiān chě ， jiè yòng tā ， néng gòu chóng xīn jìn rù gāi gǔ 。\/\/\/\/”

“不错，灵波谷入口消失，实为我等修士的一件憾事，而在两百年前，老夫机缘巧合，发现了一件宝物，其来历，却与灵波谷有着千丝万缕的牵扯，借用牠，能够重新进入该谷。\/\/\/\/”

"A good point. The disappearance of the entrance to Spirit Wave Valley is indeed a regret for us cultivators, but two hundred years ago, I happened upon a treasure that has a connection with Spirit Wave Valley. By using it, we can re-enter the valley," said the old man in green robes, his expression calm as if he was merely recounting an insignificant matter.

nà qīng páo lǎo zhě mù guāng shǎn dòng de shuō ， shén sè píng jìng dào jí chù ， fǎng fú cǐ kè tā suǒ xù shù de dōng xī ， zhǐ shì yī wēi bù zú dào de xiǎo shì 。

那青袍老者目光闪动的说，神sè平静到极处，仿佛此刻他所叙述的东西，只是一微不足道的小事。

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators below erupted into discussion. Despite their precarious situation, most of them couldn't hide their joy at this news.

rán ér huà yīn gāng luò ， xià miàn de xiū shì què yī xià zi zhà kāi le guō ， jǐn guǎn tā men chǔ jìng bù lì ， rán ér yī tīng zhè ge xiāo xī ， jué dà duō shù rén de liǎn shàng ， hái shì nán yǐ yǎn shì de lù chū le xǐ yuè zhī sè。

然而话音刚落，下面的修士却一下子炸开了锅，尽管他们处境不利，然而一听这个消息，绝大多数人的脸上，还是难以掩饰的露出了喜悦之sè。

After all, every cultivator present was a veteran at the Spirit Cultivation stage. The valley had vanished only 20,000 years ago, and many among them had visited it several times.

bì jìng zài chǎng de xiū xiān zhě ， wú yī lì wài ， quán shì fēn shén jí bié de lǎo jiā huǒ ， líng bō gǔ liǎng wàn nián qián cái xiāo shī ， ér tā men zhōng de dà duō shù rén ， yě dōu céng jīng qù guò jǐ cì 。

毕竟在场的修仙者，无一例外，全是分神级别的老家伙，灵波谷两万年前才消失，而他们中的大多数人，也都曾经去过几次。

Though not filled with treasures everywhere, the chances of finding heavenly materials were significantly higher within than outside.

lǐ miàn suī bú shì biàn dì bǎo wù ， dàn xún zhǎo dào tiān cái dì bǎo de jī lǜ ， què shí bǐ wài miàn duō dé duō 。

里面虽不是遍地宝物，但寻找到天材地宝的几率，确实比外面多得多。

Hearing that there might be another chance to re-enter the valley, their first reaction was excitement. But after a brief moment, most cultivators frowned. After all, they knew well enough what storms and trials came with their current strength.

cǐ shí tīng shuō yǒu jī huì chóng xīn jìn rù gāi gǔ ， dì yī fǎn yìng zì rán shì xīng fèn jiā gāo xìng lái zhe 。

此时听说有机会重新进入该谷，第一反应自然是兴奋加高兴来着。

As the saying goes, good things don't fall from the sky. If the other party had no ill intentions, why go through such trouble to gather them here?

bù guò duǎn zàn de gāo xìng guò hòu ， zhòng xiū shì yě dōu zhòu qǐ le méi tóu ， bì jìng shí lì dào le tā men zhè ge děng jí ， yòu zěn me kě néng méi yǒu jīng lì guò fēng shuāng xuě yǔ ？

不过短暂的高兴过后，众修士也都皱起了眉头，毕竟实力到了他们这个等级，又怎么可能没有经历过风霜雪雨？

He could have simply released the news, and numerous volunteers would have eagerly entered Spirit Wave Valley. Emotionally and logically, he didn’t need to be so secretive.

sú huà shuō ， tiān shàng shì bú huì diào xiàn bǐng dì 。

俗话说，天上是不会掉馅饼地。

Could there be ulterior motives?

jiǎ rú duì fāng méi yǒu è yì ， yòu hé bì yòng zhè yàng de fāng shì jiāng tā men zhào jí dào zhè lǐ 。

假如对方没有恶意，又何必用这样的方式将他们召集到这里。

This thought raised doubts among the cultivators, and their initial excitement began to melt away like ice in spring. Suspicion replaced it, leaving them wary.

tā zhǐ yào shāo shāo jiāng xiāo xī fàng chū ， zì yuàn jìn rù líng bō gǔ de xiū shì jiù shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。

他只要稍稍将消息放出，自愿进入灵波谷的修士就数不胜数。

It was understandable; treasures were enticing, but they needed a chance to enjoy them too.

yú qíng yú lǐ ， tā dōu méi yǒu bì yào xiàng xiàn zài zhè yàng gǎo dé shén shén mì mì 。

于情于理，他都没有必要像现在这样搞得神神秘秘。

Seeing the expressions of the cultivators, Green Face Senior did not find this surprising. This outcome was exactly what he had anticipated.

nán dào shì bié yǒu suǒ tú ？

难道是别有所图？

He smiled: "You needn't be anxious. I have my own reasons for doing this."

niàn jí zhì cǐ ， zhòng xiū shì xīn zhōng yí dòu dà qǐ ， yuán běn de xīng fèn ， yě rú bīng xuě xiāo róng ， jiàn jiàn sàn qù ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì mǎn liǎn de jǐng tì 。

念及至此，众修士心中疑窦大起，原本的兴奋，也如冰雪消融，渐渐散去，取而代之的是满脸的jǐng惕。

"Indeed, using that treasure can indeed re-enter the valley, but there are stricter conditions. Junior cultivators at the Profound Concealment stage cannot enter. Only you, senior cultivators of Spirit Cultivation, have a chance to do so. This is why I asked my disciple to gather everyone here under the guise of an exchange meeting," Green Face Senior said solemnly.

zhè bù xī qí ， bǎo wù gù rán lìng rén dòng xīn ， dàn yě yào yǒu mìng xiǎng yòng cái xíng 。

这不稀奇，宝物固然令人动心，但也要有命享用才行。

Hearing this, their expressions softened, but their doubts remained unresolved.

ér jiāng zhòng xiū shì de biǎo qíng kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， qīng yán zūn zhě què háo bù xī qí ， zhè zhǒng jié guǒ 。 yuán běn jiù shì tā yǒu suǒ yù liào dì 。

而将众修士的表情看在眼里，青颜尊者却毫不稀奇，这种结果。原本就是他有所预料地。

They knew that as cultivators, they were self-interested and would not venture out without some benefit. The other party must have something in mind; otherwise, why would such a valuable opportunity be given away for free?

zhǎn yán xiào le qǐ lái ：“ nǐ men bù yòng xīn jí ， běn lǎo zǔ zhè me zuò ， zì rán shì yǒu zì jǐ de yòng yì 。”

展颜笑了起来：“你们不用心急，本老祖这么做，自然是有自己的用意。”

"Ha ha, I send you into the valley with my own intentions. There are treasures within Spirit Wave Valley that can greatly benefit me at this stage, but alas, I cannot enter. So, I ask you to do it on my behalf," Green Face Senior said.

“ bù cuò ， jiè zhù nà bǎo wù ， què shí kě yǐ chóng xīn rù gǔ ， dàn tiáo jiàn què gèng wéi kē kè ， dòng xuán qī de xiǎo bèi yě jìn bù qù le ， wéi yǒu ěr děng fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。 cái yǒu jī huì jìn rù ， zhè yě shì wèi shén me ， běn zūn ràng tú ér ， yǐ jiāo huàn huì wèi míng ， jiāng gè wèi zhào jí dào cǐ chù 。”

“不错，借助那宝物，确实可以重新入谷，但条件却更为苛刻，洞玄期的小辈也进不去了，唯有尔等分神级别的修仙者。才有机会进入，这也是为什么，本尊让徒儿，以交换会为名，将各位召集到此处。”

"And if any of you manage to obtain what I desire, I will not stint in rewarding you. I might even share with you the insights from when I advanced through the Tribulation…" he continued earnestly.

zhòng rén tīng dào zhè lǐ ， shén sè yī huǎn ， dàn xīn zhōng de yí dòu ， bìng méi yǒu wán quán jiě kāi 。

众人听到这里，神sè一缓，但心中的疑窦，并没有完全解开。

This statement made many Spirit Cultivation cultivators extremely interested. The saying went that a small difference could lead to a big mistake. While they were only one level away from the Tribulation stage, their actual strength was worlds apart.

yào xiǎo de ， xiū xiān zhě zì sī zì lì 。 xiàng lái shì wú lì bù zǎo qǐ ， duì fāng kěn dìng shì yǒu suǒ tú ， fǒu zé 。 zǒng bù kě néng píng bái wú gù ， jiāng zhè me dà yī zhuāng jī yuán ， bái bái sòng yǔ zì jǐ zhè xiē rén de 。

要晓得，修仙者自私自利。向来是无利不早起，对方肯定是有所图，否则。总不可能平白无故，将这么大一桩机缘，白白送与自己这些人的。

With the guidance of this old monster, they could avoid many detours and might have a chance at advancing to the Tribulation stage after some good fortune.

“ hēi hēi ， lǎo fū sòng nǐ men jìn gǔ ， dāng rán yě shì yǒu zì jǐ de yòng yì ， zhè líng bō gǔ zhōng yǒu yī xiē bǎo wù ， duì lǎo fū zhè ge děng jiē de cún zài yě dà yǒu yòng tú ， kě xī wǒ què wú fǎ jìn gǔ ， suǒ yǐ 。 zhǐ hǎo qǐng gè wèi dài láo le 。”

“嘿嘿，老夫送你们进谷，当然也是有自己的用意，这灵波谷中有一些宝物，对老夫这个等阶的存在也大有用途，可惜我却无法进谷，所以。只好请各位代劳了。”

If such a day ever came…

“ dāng rán ， gè wèi ruò shì néng gòu qǔ dào lǎo fū xiǎng yào de dōng xī ， wǒ jué bú huì kuī dài nǐ ， huì jǐ yǔ zhū duō jiǎng lì ， shèn zhì lián lǎo fū dāng nián jìn jí dù jié de xīn dé 。 yě bú shì bù kě yǐ gào sù gěi gè wèi de ……” qīng yán zūn zhě yī běn zhèng jīng de shuō 。

“当然，各位若是能够取到老夫想要的东西，我绝不会亏待你，会给予诸多奖励，甚至连老夫当年晋级渡劫的心得。也不是不可以告诉给各位的……”青颜尊者一本正经的说。

The cultivators' minds wandered with anticipation.

cǐ huà yī chū ， nà xiē fēn shén qī xiū shì wú bù dà wèi dòng xīn qǐ lái ， sú huà shuō chā zhī háo lí miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， biǎo miàn shàng ， tā men yǔ dù jié zhǐ chà yí gè děng jí 。 rán ér bǐ cǐ de shí lì què shì tiān chā dì yuǎn dì 。

此话一出，那些分神期修士无不大为动心起来，俗话说差之毫厘谬以千里，表面上，他们与渡劫只差一个等级。然而彼此的实力却是天差地远地。

Meanwhile, Green Face Senior's voice rang out once more: "There are countless treasures in Spirit Wave Valley. I believe everyone understands this. Besides what I want, any other items you find within will be yours."

ruò shì néng gòu dé dào zhè lǎo guài wù de zhǐ diǎn ， zé kě yǐ shǎo zǒu hěn duō wān lù ， nà me zài yǒu yī xiē jī yuán qiǎo hé ， jìn jí dào dù jié qī yě jiù bú shì yī sī xī wàng dōu méi yǒu le 。

若是能够得到这老怪物的指点，则可以少走很多弯路，那么再有一些机缘巧合，晋级到渡劫期也就不是一丝希望都没有了。

Hearing this, the cultivators became even more eager. The explanation seemed fair and beneficial to both parties.

ruò zhēn yǒu nà yī tiān ……

若真有那一天……

Why not take advantage of such an opportunity?

zhòng xiū shì bù yóu de xīn chí shén wǎng le qǐ lái 。

众修士不由得心驰神往了起来。

Even if they failed to find the desired treasure or rewards, they would still gain a chance to enter Spirit Wave Valley in search of other heavenly materials.

qiě shuō tā men zài nà lǐ quán héng lì bì ， qīng yán zūn zhě de shēng yīn yòu yī cì chuán rù le ěr lǐ ：

且说他们在那里权衡利弊，青颜尊者的声音又一次传入了耳里：

Such a good opportunity should not be missed.

“ líng bō gǔ zhōng bǎo bèi wú shù ， zhè yì diǎn ， wǒ xiǎng dà jiā xīn zhōng dōu qīng chǔ ， ér chú le lǎo fū xiǎng yào de bǎo wù ， gè wèi dào yǒu zài gǔ nèi dé dào de qí tā dōng xī ， běn lǎo zǔ shì bú huì guò wèn de ， dōu guī nǐ men zì jǐ suǒ yǒu 。”

“灵波谷中宝贝无数，这一点，我想大家心中都清楚，而除了老夫想要的宝物，各位道友在谷内得到的其他东西，本老祖是不会过问的，都归你们自己所有。”

Regardless of how one thought about it, there seemed to be no loss involved.

zhòng xiū shì tīng le ， yuè fā de xīn dòng yǎn rè ， duì fāng zhè fān jiě shì ， hé qíng hé lǐ ， sì hū shì yī hé zé liǎng lì de xuǎn zé 。

众修士听了，越发的心动眼热，对方这番解释，合情合理，似乎是一合则两利的选择。

Moreover, even if some refused to cooperate, once here, they had no choice. Green Face Senior might have been amiable now, but old monsters at their level were not easily dealt with; he could turn on them like flipping a page in a book.

jì rán rú cǐ ， shuí bù yuàn yì ne ？

既然如此，谁不愿意呢？

Those who defied him would only meet their end.

jiù suàn zhǎo bú dào duì fāng suǒ yào de bǎo wù ， yǔ jiǎng lì wú yuán ， yě píng bái dé le yī cì jìn rù líng bō gǔ de jī huì ， qù xún zhǎo qí tā tiān cái dì bǎo de 。

就算找不到对方所要的宝物，与奖励无缘，也平白得了一次进入灵波谷的机会，去寻找其他天材地宝的。

After the details were explained clearly, the cultivators' fear gradually subsided.

zhè yàng de hǎo jī huì ， qǐ kě cuò guò 。

这样的好机会，岂可错过。

"Senior, is this the task you've assigned to us? It's really that simple?" asked a black-faced cultivator cautiously.

zǒng zhī bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù sī suǒ ， sì hū dōu méi yǒu sǔn shī lái zhe 。

总之不论从哪个角度思索，似乎都没有损失来着。

"Yes, it truly is."

hé kuàng tuì yī wàn bù shuō ， jiù suàn yǒu rén bù yuàn yì hé zuò ， jì rán lái dào zhè lǐ ， yě yóu bù dé tā le ， bié kān qīng yán zūn zhě yì zhí hé yán yuè sè， kě zhè ge děng jí de lǎo guài wù ， nǎ yī wèi shì hǎo xiāng yǔ de ， fān liǎn rú tóng fān shū ， yě méi yǒu rèn hé xī qí zhī chù 。

何况退一万步说，就算有人不愿意合作，既然来到这里，也由不得他了，别看青颜尊者一直和颜悦sè，可这个等级的老怪物，哪一位是好相与的，翻脸如同翻书，也没有任何稀奇之处。

"But what if we can't find the treasure you want?"

ruò zhēn bù shí shí wù ， yě jiù zhǐ yǒu yǔn luò yī tú 。

若真不识时务，也就只有陨落一途。

Others also raised their heads; this was relevant to everyone.

tīng duì fāng jiāng shì qíng de yuán wěi jiǎng qīng chǔ ， zhòng xiū shì liǎn shàng de huáng kǒng dōu jiàn jiàn de xiāo qù le 。

听对方将事情的原委讲清楚，众修士脸上的惶恐都渐渐的消去了。

"If none of you manage to find it, it’s fate. I won’t trouble any of you," Green Face Senior said generously with a wave of his hand.

“ qián bèi ， zhè jiù shì nǐ fēn pài gěi wǒ men de rèn wù ， jiù zhè me jiǎn dān ？” yī hēi liǎn xiū shì xiǎo xīn yì yì de kāi kǒu le 。

“前辈，这就是你分派给我们的任务，就这么简单？”一黑脸修士小心翼翼的开口了。

Hearing this, many sighed in relief, but there were still numerous cultivators who sneered inwardly. How could such an opportunity be so easy? The other party had spent much effort and gone through countless trials, only to say it was all for naught if they couldn’t find the treasure?

“ bù cuò ， què shí shì zhè yàng jiǎn dān 。”

“不错，确实是这样简单。”

This seemed as absurd as expecting a pie to fall from the sky, and they refused to believe it.

“ rú guǒ ， wǒ shì shuō rú guǒ ， qián bèi xiǎng yào de bǎo bèi ， wǒ men …… wǒ men quán dōu zhǎo bú dào ne ？”

“如果，我是说如果，前辈想要的宝贝，我们……我们全都找不到呢？”

But on the surface, none dared show any signs of doubt. A Tribulation-stage old monster could easily wipe them out with just a wave of his hand.

qí tā rén tīng le ， yě dōu tái qǐ tóu ， bì jìng zhè yǔ tā men měi yí gè rén ， dōu shì yōu xī xiāng guān de 。

其他人听了，也都抬起头，毕竟这与他们每一个人，都是攸息相关的。

"Then what exactly is the treasure you want us to find in Spirit Wave Valley?" asked another cultivator boldly.

“ rú guǒ zhēn zhǎo bú dào ， nà yě shì tiān yì shǐ rán ， lǎo fū bú huì wéi nán dà jiā de 。” qīng yán zūn zhě jiāng shǒu yī bǎi ， shí fēn dà fāng de kāi kǒu le 。

“如果真找不到，那也是天意使然，老夫不会为难大家的。”青颜尊者将手一摆，十分大方的开口了。

"Hmm, I would have told you even if you hadn’t asked."

tīng tā zhè yàng shuō ， hěn duō rén dōu sōng le kǒu qì ， dàn yě yǒu wéi shù bù shǎo de xiū xiān zhě ， xīn zhōng lěng xiào bù yǐ ， nǎ yǒu zhè yàng pián yi de ， duì fāng huā fèi le rú cǐ duō xīn xuè ， fèi jǐn bō zhé ， zuì hòu jū rán shì yī jù zhǎo bú dào jiù suàn le ？

听他这样说，很多人都松了口气，但也有为数不少的修仙者，心中冷笑不已，哪有这样便宜的，对方花费了如此多心血，费尽波折，最后居然是一句找不到就算了？

Green Face Senior's words were followed by a flick of his sleeve. A flash of light appeared, and a piece of paper with a symbol on it was revealed before the cultivators' eyes.

zhè jiǎn zhí yǔ tiān shàng diào xiàn bǐng chà bu duō ， tā men shì jué rán bù xìn de 。

这简直与天上掉馅饼差不多，他们是决然不信的。

He then tapped it, and the paper ignited without wind. When the flames dissipated, a bracelet-like object came into view.

dàn bù guǎn xīn zhōng rú hé xiǎng ， biǎo miàn shàng ， tā men kě bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo xiǎn lù ， dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， kě shì dòng dòng shǒu ， jiù néng ràng tā men huī fēi yān miè diào le 。

但不管心中如何想，表面上，他们可不敢有分毫显露，渡劫级别的老怪物，可是动动手，就能让他们灰飞烟灭掉了。

No, that wasn’t a real bracelet; it was merely an illusion conjured by magic.

“ nà bù zhī dào ， qián bèi ràng wǒ men jìn rù líng bō gǔ ， xiǎng yào xún zhǎo de bǎo bèi jiū jìng shì shén me ？” lìng yí gè rén yòu dà zhe dǎn zi kāi kǒu le 。

“那不知道，前辈让我们进入灵波谷，想要寻找的宝贝究竟是什么？”另一个人又大着胆子开口了。

But its appearance was so realistic that it seemed like a genuine item.

“ hēi hēi ， zhè ge wèn tí ， nǐ men biàn shì bù wèn ， lǎo fū yě huì shuō dì 。”

“嘿嘿，这个问题，你们便是不问，老夫也会说地。”

All the cultivators' attention was drawn to it.

qīng yán zūn zhě huà yīn wèi luò ， zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī zhāng fú lù yìng rù le zhòng rén de yǎn lián 。

青颜尊者话音未落，只见他袖袍一拂，只见灵光一闪，一张符箓映入了众人的眼帘。

The bracelet was delicate and beautiful in design, seemingly intended for women. Its other uses were unclear.

suí hòu tā zài yì diǎn ， nà fú lù dùn shí wú fēng zì rán ， děng huǒ yàn xiāo sàn ， yí gè shǒu zhuó mú yàng de bǎo wù yìng rù yǎn lián 。

随后他再一点，那符箓顿时无风自燃，等火焰消散，一个手镯模样的宝物映入眼帘。

"You need to find this bracelet when you enter Spirit Wave Valley," Green Face Senior said indifferently.

bú duì ， nà bú shì zhēn de shǒu zhuó ， jǐn jǐn shì yòng fǎ shù ， huàn huà chū lái de xū yǐng bà le 。

不对，那不是真的手镯，仅仅是用法术，幻化出来的虚影罢了。

Others were left speechless; why would an old monster of the Tribulation stage use a bracelet? Could this be one of those legendaryprimordial spirit treasure?

rán ér rú yǒu shí tǐ ， wéi miào wéi xiào yǐ jí 。

然而如有实体，惟妙惟肖以极。
