mèn xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī cùn xǔ dà xiǎo de yuán yīng diē diē zhuàng zhuàng de chū xiàn le 。
闷响声传入耳朵，一寸许大小的元婴跌跌撞撞的出现了。
The dull thud sounded in his ears as a small, inch-long元婴 tumbled out.
lìng rén chī jīng de shì ， tā hún shēn shàng xià ， jū rán chuān zhe yī wū hēi fà liàng de kǎi jiǎ ， rán ér liǎn shàng mǎn shì huāng zhāng zhī sè 。
令人吃惊的是，他浑身上下，居然穿着一乌黑发亮的铠甲，然而脸上满是慌张之色。
Surprisingly, the figure was clad in a shiny black armor from head to toe. His face was filled with panic.
“ hái xiǎng yào pǎo me ？”
“还想要跑么？”
"Still want to run?"
lín xuān wú yì yǔ tā duō fèi chún shé ， zhǐ shì jiāng yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， suí hòu biàn jiàn líng guāng dà zuò ， wǔ sè guāng xiá fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩无意与他多费唇舌，只是将右手抬起，随后便见灵光大做，五色光霞浮现而出。
Lin Xuan didn't waste any words and raised his right hand. A burst of spiritual light enveloped him, forming a five-colored light霞 that gathered into a large hand about ten feet long.
wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yī zhàng xǔ zhǎng de dà shǒu chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
往中间一聚，一丈许长的大手出现在视线里。
Without hesitation, he reached out with the hand. This time, there was no escape for the opponent as they were trapped by the five-colored spiritual light. Lin Xuan captured them alive.
suí hòu háo bù chí yí ， yī bǎ cháo qián miàn lāo qù ， zhè yī cì ， duì fāng duǒ wú kě duǒ ， bèi nà dà shǒu suǒ shì fàng chū de wǔ sè líng guāng jìn gù ， lín xuān jiāng tā shēng qín huó zhuō 。
随后毫不迟疑，一把朝前面捞去，这一次，对方躲无可躲，被那大手所释放出的五色灵光禁锢，林轩将他生擒活捉。
Next, it was only natural that Lin Xuan would use soul probing techniques.
jiē xià lái bú yòng shuō ， lín xuān zì rán shì shī zhǎn sōu hún zhī shù 。
接下来不用说，林轩自然是施展搜魂之术。
The entire process wasn't complicated. After a cup of tea's worth of time, flames erupted from Lin Xuan’s hand and the Iron Tower Patriarch turned to nothingness, his soul scattered.
zhěng gè guò chéng yě bù fán fù ， yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu hòu ， lín xuān shǒu shàng huǒ guāng yì qǐ ， tiě tǎ zūn zhě jiù chè dǐ huà wèi le xū wú ， hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
整个过程也不繁复，一盏茶的功夫后，林轩手上火光一起，铁塔尊者就彻底化为了虚无，魂飞魄散掉了。
"Turns out it's a Twin Heart Demon!"
“ yuán lái shì shuāng zi tóng xīn mó ！”
“原来是双子同心魔！”
Lin Xuan sighed; all his doubts had vanished. The other party was a newcomer here but knew about the先天灵宝 on the altar, transformed by the Moon Illusion Poison. This seemed far-fetched, but knowing the wonders of the Twin Heart Demons made everything clear.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， xīn zhōng de xiē xǔ yí huò ， yǐ jīng yān xiāo yún sàn diào le 。
林轩叹了口气，心中的些许疑惑，已经烟消云散掉了。
So-called twin demons referred to two beings like human twins. However, the Twin Heart Demons had a unique connection—they could share each other's experiences as if they were one entity.
duì fāng shì dì yī cì lái dào cǐ chù ， rán ér què zǎo yǐ zhī dào nà jì tái shàng de xiān tiān líng bǎo ， shì yóu huàn yuè zhī dú biàn huà ér chéng de ， zhè shì tīng qǐ lái yǒu xiē lí pǔ ， rán ér xiǎo de shuāng zi tóng xīn mó de qí miào zhī chù yī qiè jiù hěn hǎo jiě shì le 。
对方是第一次来到此处，然而却早已知道那祭台上的先天灵宝，是由幻月之毒变化而成的，这事听起来有些离谱，然而晓得双子同心魔的奇妙之处一切就很好解释了。
In other words, it was akin to the感应 between an avatar and its original body.
suǒ wèi shuāng zi mó ， gù míng sī yì ， jiù yǔ rén lèi de shuāng bāo tāi shì yí gè dào lǐ 。
所谓双子魔，顾名思义，就与人类的双胞胎是一个道理。
The Iron Tower Patriarch had a brother who was also a twin demon. Ten thousand years ago, his brother entered Spirit Wave Valley by chance and mistakenly wandered into Nightmare Desert. They eventually found the oasis and ended up in the ruins of this Asura King's palace.
rán ér tóng xīn mó què yòu bù tóng ， shì zhǐ shēn wèi shuāng zi mó de liǎng gè jiā huo ， bǐ cǐ jiān shì yǒu xīn líng gǎn yìng de 。
然而同心魔却又不同，是指身为双子魔的两个家伙，彼此间是有心灵感应的。
Their subsequent experiences mirrored those Lin Xuan and his companions encountered.
sú huà shuō ， xīn yǒu líng xī ， pǔ tōng shuāng bāo tāi ǒu ěr yě huì yǒu lèi sì de jīng lì 。
俗话说，心有灵犀，普通双胞胎偶尔也会有类似的经历。
His brother, along with several other cultivators, couldn't resist the allure of the先天灵宝 and perished due to the Moon Illusion Poison.
rán ér shuāng zi tóng xīn mó bù tóng ， tā men suī rán shì bù tóng de liǎng gè rén ， dàn bǐ cǐ jiān hé zhǐ shì xīn yǒu líng xī ， jiǎn zhí shì néng gòu gòng xiǎng bǐ cǐ de jīng lì 。
然而双子同心魔不同，他们虽然是不同的两个人，但彼此间何止是心有灵犀，简直是能够共享彼此的经历。
Through their mental connection, the Iron Tower Patriarch knew all about it. That’s why he could predict events before they happened.
huàn yán zhī ， jiù yǔ huà shēn yǔ běn tǐ jiān de nà zhǒng gǎn yìng xiāng sì 。
换言之，就与化身与本体间的那种感应相似。
Originally, he planned to kill Lin Xuan and his companions.
yǎn qián de tiě tǎ zūn zhě ， jiù yǒu yī shuāng bāo tāi xiōng dì ， ér qiě liǎng rén shì shuāng zi tóng xīn mó ， shù wàn nián qián ， tā de xiōng dì jìn rù líng bō gǔ ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， yě wù rù le mèng yǎn shā mò ， suí hòu gèng zhǎo dào lǜ zhōu ， zuì hòu wù dǎ wù zhuàng ， lái dào zhè ā xiū luó wáng xíng gōng de fèi xū zhī shàng 。
眼前的铁塔尊者，就有一双胞胎兄弟，而且两人是双子同心魔，数万年前，他的兄弟进入灵波谷，机缘巧合，也误入了梦魇沙漠，随后更找到绿洲，最后误打误撞，来到这阿修罗王行宫的废墟之上。
He was confident in his success; after all, which spirit cultivator in the Three Realms could resist the allure of a先天灵宝?
jiē xià lái de jīng lì ， jiù yǔ lín xuān tā men gāng gāng yù jiàn de xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
接下来的经历，就与林轩他们刚刚遇见的相差仿佛。
Even cautious individuals might hesitate, but in such situations, one would fear losing the opportunity to their comrades. After all, it was a先天灵宝—a regrettable loss if missed.
tā de xiōng dì ， hái yǒu jǐ míng tóng háng de xiū xiān zhě ， quán dōu jīng bú zhù xiān tiān líng bǎo de yòu mǎo huò ， sǐ yú huàn yuè zhī dú 。
他的兄弟，还有几名同行的修仙者，全都经不住先天灵宝的诱冇惑，死于幻月之毒。
Once they succumbed to the Moon Illusion Poison, the true treasure would be his.
ér zhè yī qiè ， tiě tǎ zūn zhě tōng guò xīn líng gǎn yìng ， yǐ jīng zhī dào dé yì qīng èr chǔ ， suǒ yǐ tā cái néng gòu wèi bǔ xiān zhī 。
而这一切，铁塔尊者通过心灵感应，已经知道得一清二楚，所以他才能够未卜先知。
Yes, the true treasure.
yuán běn àn zhào tā de xiǎng fǎ ， shì jiāng lín mǎo xuān sān rén quán bù hài sǐ 。
原本按照他的想法，是将林冇轩三人全部害死。
Though the Iron Tower Patriarch didn't know what it was, he knew that Asura King wouldn’t place such a dangerous poison here without a reason. She wouldn’t harm herself for no gain.
ér qiě tā zì xìn néng gòu chéng gōng ， bì jìng fàng yǎn sān jiè ， yǒu nǎ yī míng fèn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， néng gòu jīng shòu qǐ xiān tiān líng bǎo de yòu mǎo huò 。
而且他自信能够成功，毕竟放眼三界，有哪一名分神期修仙者，能够经受起先天灵宝的诱冇惑。
Since there was such a terrible poison, the purpose must have been to protect an invaluable treasure.
jiù suàn shì tiān shēng jǐn shèn zhī rén ， yǒu xiē chí yí ， dàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， kěn dìng yě hài pà yī yóu yù jiù shī qù xiān jī ， bèi tóng bàn xiān jiāng bǎo wù qǔ qù 。
就算是天生谨慎之人，有些迟疑，但这种情况下，肯定也害怕一犹豫就失去先机，被同伴先将宝物取去。
These were the Iron Tower Patriarch's speculations, but he had full confidence in them.
nà kě shì xiān tiān líng bǎo a ， ruò shì shī zhī jiāo bì ， hái bù hòu huǐ dé mǎi kuài dòu fǔ zhuàng sǐ ？
那可是先天灵宝啊，若是失之交臂，还不后悔得买块豆腐撞死？
He was certain of his success.
ér děng tā men zhōng le huàn yuè zhī dú ， zhēn zhèng de bǎo wù jiù guī zì jǐ le 。
而等他们中了幻月之毒，真正的宝物就归自己了。
Unfortunately, human plans often go awry. Lin Xuan couldn't be judged by common sense; he had withstood the allure of a先天灵宝 and was far more powerful than the Iron Tower Patriarch. Thus, this guy met a tragic end.
méi cuò ， zhēn zhèng de bǎo wù 。
没错，真正的宝物。
Lin Xuan became the ultimate victor in the Three Realms where strength reigned supreme.
jǐn guǎn tiě tǎ zūn zhě yě bù zhī dào nà jiū jìng shì shén me ， dàn ruò shì méi yǒu bǎo bèi ā xiū luó wáng yòu hé bì zài zhè lǐ fàng shàng huàn yuè zhī dú ， nà kě shì yīn sī zhī zhǔ ， sǔn rén bù lì jǐ de shì qíng tā bú huì qù zuò 。
尽管铁塔尊者也不知道那究竟是什么，但若是没有宝贝阿修罗王又何必在这里放上幻月之毒，那可是阴司之主，损人不利己的事情她不会去做。
Thinking about the clues from soul probing, Lin Xuan fell into silence.
jì rán zhè lǐ huì yǒu nà me kě pà de jù dú ， mù dì kěn dìng shì shǒu hù bù dé le de bǎo wù 。
既然这里会有那么可怕的剧毒，目的肯定是守护不得了的宝物。
While the Iron Tower Patriarch was dead, he still held Lin Xuan's analysis in high regard.
zhè xiē suī shì tiě tǎ zūn zhě de tuī cè ， dàn tā zì xìn bú huì yǒu cuò 。
这些虽是铁塔尊者的推测，但他自信不会有错。
Moon... no, her past life Asura King must have left this poison for a reason. If there were treasures here, it would make sense.
tā yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò 。
他有十足的把握。
Could it be that bracelet?
kě xī rén suàn bù rú tiān suàn ， fán shì méi yǒu jué duì yī shuō ， lín xuān jiù bù kě yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi mó ， tā jīng shòu zhù le xiān tiān zhī bǎo de yòu mǎo huò ， shí lì gèng shèng guò tiě tǎ zūn zhě xǔ duō ， yú shì zhè gē men er jiù bēi jù le 。
可惜人算不如天算，凡事没有绝对一说，林轩就不可用常理揣摩，他经受住了先天之宝的诱冇惑，实力更胜过铁塔尊者许多，于是这哥们儿就悲剧了。
Perhaps Venerable Qingyan knew something, but he didn't say anything. There was no way to extract his soul now; all the answers lay in Lin Xuan's exploration.
lín xuān chéng wéi le zuì hòu de shèng lì zhě ， xiū xiān jiè bì jìng shì yǐ shí lì wèi zūn de 。
林轩成为了最后的胜利者，修仙界毕竟是以实力为尊的。
But there was Moon Illusion Poison...
xiǎng zhe sōu hún suǒ de dào de xiàn suǒ ， lín xuān xiàn rù le chén mò 。
想着搜魂所得到的线索，林轩陷入了沉默。
A look of difficulty flashed across Lin Xuan’s face.
tiě tǎ zūn zhě suī rán sǐ le ， dàn duì yú tā de yī fān fēn xī ， lín xuān hái shì chí kěn dìng de tài dù 。
铁塔尊者虽然死了，但对于他的一番分析，林轩还是持肯定的态度。
Indeed, he had practiced with Phantom Heavenly Fire and could disregard most poisons in the Three Realms, but not this one. At least, Lin Xuan wouldn't dare try it.
yuè ér …… ń ， bù ， yīng gāi shì tā de qián shì ā xiū luó wáng zài zhè lǐ liú xià huàn yuè zhī dú ， yīng gāi bú huì shì wú dì fàng shǐ 。
月儿……嗯，不，应该是她的前世阿修罗王在这里留下幻月之毒，应该不会是无的放矢。
He wasn’t foolish; who would risk their life for a joke?
ruò shuō zhè lǐ cáng yǒu bǎo wù ， yīng gāi yě shì shuō dé tōng de 。
若说这里藏有宝物，应该也是说得通的。
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly and couldn’t come up with any good ideas. After all, there was more than just Moon Illusion Poison here. There should be some intricate禁制 set up. Although he had limited knowledge of阵法, Lin Xuan still had the eye to spot it.
huì bú huì shì nà ge shǒu zhuó ？
会不会是那个手镯？
The禁制 worked like this: as long as one didn't attack, they were fine; but once they attacked, trouble would ensue.
yě xǔ qīng yán zūn zhě zhī dào yī xiē shén me ， kě xī tā shén me yě méi shuō ， xiàn zài gèng bù kě néng jiāng tā chōu hún liàn pò ， yī qiè de mí dǐ ， dōu bì xū děng zhe zì jǐ qù tàn suǒ 。
也许青颜尊者知道一些什么，可惜他什么也没说，现在更不可能将他抽魂炼魄，一切的谜底，都必须等着自己去探索。
Though just a guess, Lin Xuan was hesitant to try given that Asura King set it up. If he died at the hands of Moon's past life, wouldn’t that be an injustice?
zhǐ shì qián miàn què yǒu huàn yuè zhī dú ……
只是前面却有幻月之毒……
What should he do?
lín xuān liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī wéi nán zhī sè 。
林轩脸上闪过一丝为难之色。
Lin Xuan didn't know. In any case, rash actions were foolish. Fortunately, Lin Xuan wasn’t in a hurry and thus remained silent.
méi cuò ， tā shì xiū liàn yǒu huàn líng tiān huǒ ， duì yú sān jiè zhī zhōng de jué dà duō shù dú yào dōu kě yǐ bù zài hū ， dàn zhè qí zhōng ， jué bù bāo kuò huàn yuè zhī dú ， zhì shǎo ， lín xuān jué bù gǎn qù cháng shì 。
没错，他是修炼有幻灵天火，对于三界之中的绝大多数毒药都可以不在乎，但这其中，绝不包括幻月之毒，至少，林轩绝不敢去尝试。
...
tā yòu bù shǎ ， shuí huì ná zì jǐ de xiǎo mìng qù kāi wán xiào a ！
他又不傻，谁会拿自己的小命去开玩笑啊！
Three days passed unnoticed. Lin Xuan slapped his forehead; he remembered the solution. Why had he forgotten about it?
lín xuān àn àn tàn xī ， yī shí piàn kè ， què xiǎng bù chū shén me hǎo zhǔ yì 。
林轩暗暗叹息，一时片刻，却想不出什么好主意。
He acted on his thought and took out the须臾袋 from his waistband, placing it against his forehead.
bì jìng ， yǎn qián bìng bù jǐn jǐn shì huàn yuè zhī dú ér yǐ ， yīng gāi bù zhì yǒu yī xuán miào de jìn zhì ， lín xuān duì yú zhèn fǎ zhī dào ， shè liè suī rán bù duō ， dàn zhè diǎn yǎn lì hái shì yǒu 。
毕竟，眼前并不仅仅是幻月之毒而已，应该布置有一玄妙的禁制，林轩对于阵法之道，涉猎虽然不多，但这点眼力还是有。
There was no other way since his神识 was restricted here. Once released, it would vanish into thin air. Thus, Lin Xuan could only use this method to search through the contents of the须臾袋.
nà jìn zhì ， zěn me shuō ne ， yīng gāi shì nà zhǒng zhǐ yào bù gōng jī jiù méi shì ， dàn yī dòng shǒu gōng jī ， jiù huì rě xià ** fán de nà zhǒng 。
那禁制，怎么说呢，应该是那种只要不攻击就没事，但一动手攻击，就会惹下**烦的那种。
In a blink, a cup of tea's worth of time passed. Finally, Lin Xuan lifted his head with a look of joy on his face.
suī rán zhè jǐn jǐn shì cāi cè ， dàn xiǎng xiǎng ， nà kě shì ā xiū luó wáng bù xià de ， lín xuān jiù yì diǎn cháng shì de yǒng qì dōu méi yǒu 。
虽然这仅仅是猜测，但想想，那可是阿修罗王布下的，林轩就一点尝试的勇气都没有。
Found it.
ruò shì sǐ zài yuè ér qián shì de shǒu lǐ ， nà qǐ bù shì yuān wǎng sǐ ？
若是死在月儿前世的手里，那岂不是冤枉死？
The reason for the long search was twofold: first, Lin Xuan had accumulated much wealth and many treasures in the须臾袋, making it difficult to find what he needed; second, the item was unremarkable and could have been lost anywhere.
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
Fortunately, he finally found it.
lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， zǒng zhī qīng jǔ wàng dòng shì hěn yú chǔn de ， hǎo zài lín xuān bù jí ， yú shì tā jìng jìng de zài nà lǐ sī suǒ 。
林轩不晓得，总之轻举妄动是很愚蠢的，好在林轩不急，于是他静静的在那里思索。
Lin Xuan reached out, a flash of spiritual light appearing before him. A壮汉 appeared.
……
……
Upon closer inspection, the figure had a呆板 face—nothing but an animated puppet with only元婴期 cultivation.
bù zhī bù jué ， sān tiān guò qù le ， lín xuān yī pāi é tóu ， tā xiǎng dào le zhǔ yì ， zì jǐ zěn me wàng le nà dōng xī 。
不知不觉，三天过去了，林轩一拍额头，他想到了主意，自己怎么忘了那东西。
This was one of Lin Xuan's treasures from his time in the human world. As he grew stronger, it lost its purpose, but now it proved useful.
xiǎng dào jiù zuò ， lín xuān bù zài dān gē ， jiāng yāo jiān de xū yú dài qǔ le xià lái ， suí hòu jiāng qí tiē zài é tóu shàng miàn 。
想到就做，林轩不再耽搁，将腰间的须臾袋取了下来，随后将其贴在额头上面。
Yes, Lin Xuan’s plan was simple: use a puppet to retrieve the treasure.
méi bàn fǎ ， shuí ràng zhè lǐ shén shí shòu dào xiàn zhì ， yī fàng chū lái ， jiù mò míng qí miào de xiāo sàn zài kōng qì lǐ miàn ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān zhǐ yǒu yòng zhè fāng fǎ ， fān zhǎo xū yú dài zhōng de dōng xī 。
没办法，谁让这里神识受到限制，一放出来，就莫名其妙的消散在空气里面，所以林轩只有用这方法，翻找须臾袋中的东西。
Humans could be poisoned, but puppets were lifeless and thus immune to Moon Illusion Poison—like water turning tofu; one thing neutralizes another.
huǎng yǎn ， guò qù le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān zhōng yú tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng lù chū xīn xǐ zhī sè 。
晃眼，过去了一盏茶的功夫，林轩终于抬起头颅，脸上露出欣喜之色。
The only difficulty now was that he couldn't release his神识 here to control the puppet. However, this didn’t deter Lin Xuan as he devised a solution.
...
The dull thud sounded in his ears as a small, inch-long元婴 tumbled out.
Surprisingly, the figure was clad in a shiny black armor from head to toe. His face was filled with panic.
"Still want to run?"
Lin Xuan didn't waste any words and raised his right hand. A burst of spiritual light enveloped him, forming a five-colored light霞 that gathered into a large hand about ten feet long.
