“ qǐ lái ba , bù yòng duō lǐ 。”
“起来吧,不用多礼。”
"Get up, no need for such formalities."
zhōng nián rú shēng hé yán yuè sè, cí xiáng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
中年儒生和颜悦sè,慈祥的声音传入耳朵。
The middle-aged scholar spoke with a pleasant demeanor, his voice warm and kind. If it were just an ordinary Flexible Spirit Period cultivator, he naturally wouldn't have cared much. However, by the way Lin Xuan was treating her, this little girl was clearly very important to him. Thus, he didn't dare to act like an old patriarch.
rú guǒ zhǐ shì yī pǔ tōng de líng dòng qī xiū xiān zhě , tā zì rán wú xū zài yì , rán ér kàn lín xuān de tài dù , zhè duì zhè xiǎo yā tou què jí qí zhòng shì , yú shì tā zì rán yě jiù bù gǎn bǎi shén me lǎo zǔ de jià zi 。
如果只是一普通的灵动期修仙者,他自然无需在意,然而看林轩的态度,这对这小丫头却极其重视,于是他自然也就不敢摆什么老祖的架子。
"Yes."
“ shì ”
“是”
The green-robed maiden looked slightly flustered as she performed another bow before slowly standing up.
qīng yī shào nǚ yǒu xiē shòu chǒng ruò jīng de yàng zi , zài cì xíng le yī lǐ , cái huǎn huǎn zhàn qǐ 。
青衣少女有些受宠若惊的样子,再次行了一礼,才缓缓站起。
Lin Xuan's gaze swept over her, taking in the young woman. At first glance, she appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and slender with a refined beauty. While not an absolute beauty, she gave off an air of elegance and grace.
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò , yě dǎ liàng qǐ cǐ nǚ lái le 。
林轩目光扫过,也打量起此女来了。
Though her figure was somewhat similar, her appearance was vastly different from Yu Ling's. This wasn't unusual; even if Lin Xuan hadn't confirmed that she was Yu Ling reborn, there would naturally be some differences in appearance after reincarnation.
yī yǎn wàng qù , nú bù guò shí qī bā suì nián jì , shēn cái gāo tiǎo , róng yán xiù lì , tán bù shàng shén me jué sè měi nǚ , gěi rén de gǎn jué bù guò shì qīng yǎ xiù lì 。
一眼望去,奴不过十七八岁年纪,身材高挑,容颜秀丽,谈不上什么绝sè美女,给人的感觉不过是清雅秀丽。
Seeing Lin Xuan scrutinizing her, the green-robed maiden grew more uneasy. Though her temperament was mature and steady for someone of her age, before such a formidable old monster, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
shēn cái yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì , bù guò róng yán yǔ xī rì de yíng ér wán quán bù tóng de yàng zi , dàn zhè bù xī qí , qiě bù shuō lín xuān hái méi yǒu kěn dìng tā jiù shì lù yíng ér zhuǎn shì , jiù suàn zhēn shì , jì rán yǐ jīng chóng xīn tóu tāi , zhè róng yán xiàng mào kěn dìng yě shì yǒu jǐ fēn bù tóng dì 。
身材有几分相似,不过容颜与昔rì的盈儿完全不同的样子,但这不稀奇,且不说林轩还没有肯定她就是陆盈儿转世,就算真是,既然已经重新投胎,这容颜相貌肯定也是有几分不同地。
"Senior Lin has a question to ask you. You should answer Senior's questions truthfully, without any concealment," the middle-aged scholar's kind voice echoed in her ears as he earnestly reminded her, fearing that this young girl might inadvertently offend the powerful old monster and bring disaster upon their family.
jiàn lín xuān dǎ liàng zì jǐ , qīng yī shào nǚ gèng xiǎn jú cù , tā xìng gé shì yào bǐ tóng líng rén wěn zhòng chéng shú , dàn yǎn qián kě shì lián lǎo zǔ zōng dōu yào yǎng shì de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù , yào shuō bù tǎn tè nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén de 。
见林轩打量自己,青衣少女更显局促,她xìng格是要比同龄人稳重成熟,但眼前可是连老祖宗都要仰视的渡劫期老怪物,要说不忐忑那肯定是骗人的。
"Yes, Grandfather." The green-robed maiden's expression was extremely respectful.
“ zhè wèi lín qián bèi yǒu yī xié yào wèn nǐ , nǐ yào hǎo hǎo huí dá qián bèi de wèn tí , zhī wú bù yán , yán wú bù jìn , qiè jì bù kě yǒu rèn hé yǐn mán , míng bái le me ?” zhōng nián rú shēng cí xiáng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ , yīn yīn dīng zhǔ , shēng pà cǐ nǚ nián qīng shí qiǎn , yī bù xiǎo chù nù le yǎn qián de lǎo guài wù , wèi jiā zú rě lái dà huò 。
“这位林前辈有一邪要问你,你要好好回答前辈的问题,知无不言,言无不尽,切忌不可有任何隐瞒,明白了么?”中年儒生慈祥的声音传入耳朵,殷殷叮嘱,生怕此女年轻识浅,一不小触怒了眼前的老怪物,为家族惹来大祸。
Though she had only just embarked on the path of cultivation for a short time, she understood that an Old Monster at the Tribulation Transcending stage was something to be avoided at all costs.
“ shì , lǎo zǔ 。” qīng yī shào nǚ de biǎo qíng gōng jìng dào jí chù 。
“是,老祖。”青衣少女的表情恭敬到极处。
"You needn't feel nervous. Lin is not someone who easily gets angry," Lin Xuan said with a faint smile, his expression still pleasant as he turned his head.
tā suī rán tà shàng xiān lù bù jiǔ , dàn yě míng bái dù jié qī lǎo guài wù , shì zì jǐ yǔ jiā zú , wàn wàn zhāo rě bù qǐ de 。
她虽然踏上仙路不久,但也明白渡劫期老怪物,是自己与家族,万万招惹不起的。
"Senior Daoist Lu, I have some questions for this young girl. If you're convenient, could you temporarily step aside?"
“ nǐ yě bù yòng jú cù , lín mǒu bìng bú shì xǐ nù wú cháng de jiā huo 。”
“你也不用局促,林某并不是喜怒无常的家伙。”
Though Lin Xuan spoke politely, it was clear that he didn't want the third party to hear their conversation. The middle-aged scholar had no choice but to agree: "Senior is too considerate. I also need to deal with a few matters and will take my leave for now. Please proceed as you wish."
lín xuān dàn dàn de xiào qǐ lái le , biǎo qíng què shì hé yán yuè sè, suí hòu zhuǎn guò tóu lú :“ lù dào yǒu , lín mǒu yǒu jǐ jù huà yào wèn zhè xiǎo yā tou , dào yǒu ruò shì fāng biàn de huà , zàn qiě huí bì rú hé ?”
林轩淡淡的笑起来了,表情却是和颜悦sè,随后转过头颅:“陆道友,林某有几句话要问这小丫头,道友若是方便的话,暂且回避如何?”
He bowed to Lin Xuan before turning to step out, leaving only Lin Xuan and the green-robed maiden in the vast hall.
lín xuān suī rán shuō dé kè qì , dàn míng xiǎn shì bù xī wàng zì jǐ suǒ wèn de wèn tí , luò rù dì sān gè rén de ěr lǐ , nà zhōng nián rú shēng qǐ yǒu bù yǔn zhī lǐ :“ qián bèi tài kè qì le , wǎn bèi yě zhèng hǎo yǒu jǐ jiàn shì qíng xū yào chǔ lǐ , jiù zàn qiě shī péi le , qián bèi qǐng biàn jiù shì 。”
林轩虽然说得客气,但明显是不希望自己所问的问题,落入第三个人的耳里,那中年儒生岂有不允之理:“前辈太客气了,晚辈也正好有几件事情需要处理,就暂且失陪了,前辈请便就是。”
Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, sending a streak of green light flying out. It flashed and transformed into a layer of soundproofing that enveloped the entire hall.
tā xiàng zhe lín xuān jū gōng shī le yī lǐ , suí hòu zhuǎn shēn tuì le chū qù , ruò dà de diàn táng lǐ , jiù zhǐ shèng xià lín xuān yǔ nà qīng yī shào nǚ 。
他像着林轩鞠躬施了一礼,随后转身退了出去,偌大的殿堂里,就只剩下林轩与那青衣少女。
Even without this, the other party would definitely not eavesdrop on their conversation, but better safe than sorry. Setting up the soundproofing was merely a trivial matter.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú , yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū , yī shǎn , yǐ huà zuò yī céng gé yīn zhào jiāng zhěng zuò dà diàn bāo guǒ qǐ lái 。
林轩袖袍一拂,一道青霞飞掠而出,一闪,已化作一层隔音罩将整座大殿包裹起来。
"Do you go by Lu Ying'er?"
suī rán bù zhè me zuò , duì fāng yě kěn dìng bù gǎn tōu tīng zì jǐ shuō huà , dàn xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò , fǎn zhèng bù xià gé yīn zhào bù guò shì jǔ shǒu zhī láo 。
虽然不这么做,对方也肯定不敢偷听自己说话,但小心无大错,反正布下隔音罩不过是举手之劳。
Lin Xuan's sense of familiarity grew stronger as he looked at the maiden before him. He had countless words to say, yet didn't know where to begin.
“ nǐ jiào zuò lù yíng ér ?”
“你叫做陆盈儿?”
"Yes."
wàng zhuó yǎn qián de shào nǚ , lín xuān nà sì céng xiāng shí de gǎn jué yuè fā qiáng liè le xiē , xīn zhōng yǒu qiān yán wàn yǔ , rán ér yī shí piàn kè , què yòu bù zhī dào gāi cóng hé shuō qǐ 。
望着眼前的少女,林轩那似曾相识的感觉越发强烈了些,心中有千言万语,然而一时片刻,却又不知道该从何说起。
Lin Xuan's question seemed too simple for the green-robed maiden, who answered without hesitation with a low and submissive voice: "Senior Daoist Lu said that you are a direct descendant of your family, growing up within it since childhood. Is this true?"
“ shì ”
“是”
"Indeed," Lu Ying'er replied truthfully.
lín xuān zhè ge wèn tí , wèi miǎn yě tài guò jiǎn dān le xiē , shào nǚ zì rán bù yòng chí yí , dī méi shùn mù dì shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。” wǒ tīng lù dào yǒu shuō , nǐ shì gāi jiā zú de dí xì zǐ dì , cóng xiǎo jiù shì zài gāi jiā zú zhōng cháng dà dì , kě yǒu cǐ shì ?”
林轩这个问题,未免也太过简单了些,少女自然不用迟疑,低眉顺目的声音传入耳朵里。”我听陆道友说,你是该家族的嫡系子弟,从小就是在该家族中长大地,可有此事?”
Seeing her smile so gently, Lin Xuan's expression became more amiable, easing her tension somewhat.
“ qián bèi suǒ yán bù cuò , wǎn bèi xiū wèi qiǎn bó, hái cóng lái méi yǒu wài chū yuǎn yóu guò , yì zhí dōu zài jiā zú zhōng shēng huó 。” lù yíng ér lǎo shí de shuō 。
“前辈所言不错,晚辈修为浅bó,还从来没有外出远游过,一直都在家族中生活。”陆盈儿老实的说。
"Hmm."
lín xuān hé yán yuè sè, dào ràng tā yě bù nà me jǐn zhāng le 。
林轩和颜悦sè,倒让她也不那么紧张了。
Lin Xuan nodded and rubbed his forehead, his face showing signs of deep thought.
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
After all, reincarnation was extremely rare even in the cultivation world. While this sense of familiarity gave him some confidence, he couldn't be entirely sure yet.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu , yǐ shǒu fǔ é , liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què míng xiǎn shì chén yín qǐ lái le 。
林轩点了点头,以手抚额,脸上的表情却明显是沉吟起来了。
What should he do?
bì jìng lún huí zhuǎn shì , zhè zhǒng shì qíng jiù suàn shì fàng dào xiū xiān jiè nà yě shì jí qí hǎn jiàn de , nà sì céng xiāng shí de gǎn jué , gù rán ràng lín xuān yǒu jǐ fēn bǎ wò , dàn jiū jìng shì bú shì què yě bù gǎn wán quán kěn dìng shén me 。
毕竟轮回转世,这种事情就算是放到修仙界那也是极其罕见的,那似曾相识的感觉,固然让林轩有几分把握,但究竟是不是却也不敢完全肯定什么。
Lin Xuan frowned as he pondered.
jiū jìng gāi zěn me bàn ne ?
究竟该怎么办呢?
Fortunately, he was a powerful cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage with broad knowledge. Although the current problem seemed somewhat troublesome, there were still ways to solve it.
lín xuān zhòu yì sī suǒ 。
林轩皱异思索。
After a moment's thought, Lin Xuan had an idea. He raised his right hand and a shimmering light appeared in his palm.
hǎo zài tā yǐ jīng shì dù jié jí bié de dà néng xiū xiān zhě , suǒ xué gèng shì guǎng bó , yǎn qián de nán tí , gù rán shāo wēi jí shǒu le nà me yī xiē , dàn yě bìng fēi zhǎo bú dào jiě jué zhī cè dì 。
好在他已经是渡劫级别的大能修仙者,所学更是广博,眼前的难题,固然稍微棘手了那么一些,但也并非找不到解决之策地。
The light was emerald green, with countless tiny runes flickering on its surface.
lín xuān sī suǒ piàn kè , xīn zhōng yǐ yǒu zhǔ yì le 。
林轩思索片刻,心中已有主意了。
"Quickly."
yòu shǒu tái qǐ , yī dào líng guāng yóu tā de zhǎng xīn zhōng fú xiàn 。
右手抬起,一道灵光由他的掌心中浮现。
Lin Xuan suddenly threw the light towards the green-robed maiden.
nà líng guāng qīng cuì yù dī , biǎo miàn yǒu wú shù mǐ lì dà xiǎo de fú wén shǎn shuò bù yǐ 。
那灵光青翠yù滴,表面有无数米粒大小的符文闪烁不已。
The light flashed as it reached her side.
“ jí ”
“疾”
Lu Ying'er looked curious but still felt nervous.
lín xuān tū rán jiāng shǒu zhōng de nà tuán líng guāng pāo fēi le chū qù 。
林轩突然将手中的那团灵光抛飞了出去。
"Do not be afraid; Lin will not harm you," Lin Xuan's gentle voice echoed in her ears as he raised his right hand, pointing at her.
nà líng guāng yī shǎn , jiù fēi dào le qīng yī shào nǚ de shēn biān 。
那灵光一闪,就飞到了青衣少女的身边。
Crack!
lù yíng ér yǒu xiē hào qí , jǐn zhāng yǔ wèi jù yě shì huī zhī bù qù 。
陆盈儿有些好奇,紧张与畏惧也是挥之不去。
As if breaking a porcelain vase, the light suddenly shattered into countless fragments. These fragments began to swirl and transform into beautiful butterflies that surrounded the maiden.
“ bù yòng hài pà , lín mǒu bú huì shāng hài nǐ 。”
“不用害怕,林某不会伤害你。”
"What...?"
lín xuān hé yán yuè sè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ , suí hòu yòu shǒu tái qǐ , xiàng qián miàn diǎn qù 。
林轩和颜悦sè的声音传入耳朵里,随后右手抬起,像前面点去。
Lu Ying'er was greatly surprised. She could feel Lin Xuan's benevolence; these butterflies contained abundant essence energy, which would be beneficial without any harm.
cì a ……
刺啊……
However, she couldn't help feeling dizzy from absorbing too much pure essence energy. The scene before her became blurry until it cleared to reveal a completely different picture.
fǎng fú qīng cí bèi dǎ pò , nà líng guāng tū rán bīng xiāo wǎ jiě diào le , huà wèi wú shù de suì piàn , suí hòu nà suì piàn guāng yùn liú zhuǎn , jū rán huàn huà chū yī zhī zhǐ měi lì de hú dié chū lái , wéi rào zài shào nǚ de shēn biān 。
仿佛青瓷被打破,那灵光突然冰消瓦解掉了,化为无数的碎片,随后那碎片光晕流转,居然幻化出一只只美丽的蝴蝶出来,围绕在少女的身边。
Here was a forest with two women in panic.
“ zhè ……。”
“这……。”
On the left was one around seventeen or eighteen years old; on the right, slightly older but at the same Flexible Spirit stage. Both looked lost and frightened as several Foundation Establishment cultivators were chasing them.
lù yíng ér dà gǎn jīng qí , tā yǐ jīng gǎn jué dào lín xuān méi yǒu è yì , zhè xiē hú dié zhōng , yùn hán zhe chōng pèi de líng lì , duì tā yǒu bǎi yì ér wú yī hài dì 。
陆盈儿大感惊奇,她已经感觉到林轩没有恶意,这些蝴蝶中,蕴含着充沛的灵力,对她有百益而无一害地。
Lu Ying'er found herself curious about this immersive scene. She had never seen the tall maiden before, yet she felt inexplicably familiar, as if there was a connection in their souls.
rán ér yě bù zhī dào shì bú shì jīng chún de líng qì xī nà tài duō , nǎo hǎi zhōng chuán lái yī zhèn zhèn xuàn yūn de gǎn jué , yǎn qián de jǐng wù yī piàn mó hú , dāng chóng xīn qīng xī yǐ hòu , què shì yī fú wán quán bù tóng de huà juàn , qīng xī yì cháng de chéng xiàn zài yǎn lián 。
然而也不知道是不是jīng纯的灵气吸纳太多,脑海中传来一阵阵眩晕的感觉,眼前的景物一片模糊,当重新清晰以后,却是一幅完全不同的画卷,清晰异常的呈现在眼帘。
"What is this..."
zhè ér shì yī piàn sēn lín , liǎng míng nǚ zǐ liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng huāng zhī sè。
这儿是一片森林,两名女子脸上满是惊慌之sè。
Lu Ying'er didn't know that this was actually the moment when Lin Xuan and her, along with Liu Xin, met each other in the human world.
zuǒ biān yí gè , shí qī bā suì nián jì , yòu biān yí gè , zé yào shāo tiān yī xiē , xiū wèi què dōu zhǐ yǒu líng dòng qī 。
左边一个,十七八岁年纪,右边一个,则要稍天一些,修为却都只有灵动期。
At that time, two women were being chased by several cultivators. It was Lin Xuan who saved them.
kàn tā men de biǎo qíng , dōu shì yī fù zhāng huáng shī cuò de yàng zi , yīn wèi hòu miàn , yǒu jǐ míng zhèng zài zhuī shā tā men de zhù jī qī xiū shì 。
看她们的表情,都是一副张徨失措的样子,因为后面,有几名正在追杀她们的筑基期修士。
To determine if the current woman was Lu Ying'er from the human world, the simplest method was to recreate her past memories before her eyes, allowing her to relive it as if she were there again.
lù yíng ér yǒu xiē hào qí , zhè shēn lín qí jìng de huà juàn , jiū jìng shì zěn me huí shì 。
陆盈儿有些好奇,这身临其境的画卷,究竟是怎么回事。
Although after reincarnation, all previous memories and even thoughts would disappear, this was merely a legend. There would still be some traces left in their souls, however faint.
ér tā kàn zhe yòu biān nà shēn cái gāo tiǎo de shào nǚ , míng míng méi yǒu jiàn guò , dàn què mò míng qí miào de shú xī wú bǐ , fǎng fú shén hún zhī jiān , yǒu zhe shén me yàng de lián xì 。
而她看着右边那身材高挑的少女,明明没有见过,但却莫名其妙的熟悉无比,仿佛神魂之间,有着什么样的联系。
Though subtle, these traces could still be detected by a Tribulation Transcending cultivator like Lin Xuan.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Lin Xuan had not informed the green-robed maiden of this beforehand because such a test would yield more accurate results.
lù yíng ér bìng bù zhī dào , zhè zhèng shì qián shì zài rén jiè zhī shí , lín xuān yǔ tā hái yǒu liú xīn xiāng yù de yí mù 。
陆盈儿并不知道,这正是前世在人界之时,林轩与她还有刘芯相遇的一幕。
Next, Lin Xuan used his great power to present one scene after another from her past life before her eyes.
dāng shí , liǎng nǚ zhèng bèi jǐ míng xiū xiān zhě zhuī shā , shì lín xuān chū shǒu jiāng tā men gěi jiù xià 。
当时,两女正被几名修仙者追杀,是林轩出手将她们给救下。
Of course, it wasn't all of her past memories but rather a small, vivid scene she was familiar with, which she could relive again.
xiǎng yào nòng qīng chǔ yǎn qián de nǚ zǐ , shì bú shì rén jiè de lù yíng ér zhuǎn shì , zuì wèi jiǎn dān de fāng fǎ , jiù shì jiāng shàng yī shì de jì yì , chóng xiàn yú tā de yǎn qián , ràng cǐ nǚ shēn lín qí jìng bān de zài qù jīng lì yī biàn 。
想要弄清楚眼前的女子,是不是人界的陆盈儿转世,最为简单的方法,就是将上一世的记忆,重现于她的眼前,让此女身临其境般的再去经历一遍。
Though this method seemed simple, it consumed a lot of mental and spiritual energy. Fortunately, Lin Xuan's strength had greatly improved since then, so he didn't find it too strenuous.
"Get up, no need for such formalities."
The middle-aged scholar spoke with a pleasant demeanor, his voice warm and kind. If it were just an ordinary Flexible Spirit Period cultivator, he naturally wouldn't have cared much. However, by the way Lin Xuan was treating her, this little girl was clearly very important to him. Thus, he didn't dare to act like an old patriarch.

"Senior Lin has a question to ask you. You should answer Senior's questions truthfully, without any concealment," the middle-aged scholar's kind voice echoed in her ears as he earnestly reminded her, fearing that this young girl might inadvertently offend the powerful old monster and bring disaster upon their family.
