bsp; “ mì shù ， shén me mì shù ？”
bsp; “秘术，什么秘术？”
"Secret technique? What secret technique?"
lín xuān shí fēn hào qí de kāi kǒu le 。
林轩十分好奇的开口了。
Lin Xuan spoke curiously.
“ néng gòu yán cháng shòu yuán de mì shù 。” xuě líng yōu yōu de shuō 。
“能够延长寿元的秘术。”雪灵幽幽的说。
"It's a secret technique that can extend one's lifespan," Snow Spirit said softly.
“ yán cháng shòu yuán ？” lín xuān hài rán shī sè， zhè zěn me kě néng ne 。
“延长寿元？”林轩骇然失sè，这怎么可能呢。
"Extend one's lifespan?" Lin Xuan was shocked. How could this be possible?
xiū xiān xiū xiān ， yuán běn jiù shì wèi le huò dé yǒng héng de shòu yuán ， gù ér xiū xiān zhě ， suī rán yōng yǒu yí shān dǎo hǎi de dà shén tōng méi cuò ， dàn hái zhēn méi yǒu tīng shuō ， nǎ yī zhǒng shén tōng ， néng gòu yán cháng shòu yuán de
修仙修仙，原本就是为了获得永恒的寿元，故而修仙者，虽然拥有移山倒海的大神通没错，但还真没有听说，哪一种神通，能够延长寿元的
Cultivation cultivation, the original purpose was to gain eternal life. Thus, although cultivators had great powers like moving mountains and overturning seas, there hadn't been any technique known that could extend one's lifespan.
ruò zhēn yǒu rú cǐ mì shù ， nǎ lǐ hái yòng xiū xiān xiū dé zhè me xīn kǔ 。
若真有如此秘术，哪里还用修仙修得这么辛苦。
If such a secret technique truly existed, why bother with cultivation at all?
“ shǎo zhǔ wù huì le ， qiè shēn kě méi yǒu shuō guò ， zhè zhǒng shén tōng néng gòu yán cháng shòu yuán ， tā suī rán bāo hán le xiē xǔ shí jiān fǎ zé ， dàn bù guò shì yī zhǒng qǔ qiǎo zhī shù ， quē diǎn duō duō ， ruò bú shì wèi le wán chéng shén nǚ dà rén de zhǔ tuō ， qiè shēn yǔ zú rén shì jué bú huì shǐ yòng de 。
“少主误会了，妾身可没有说过，这种神通能够延长寿元，它虽然包含了些许时间法则，但不过是一种取巧之术，缺点多多，若不是为了完成神女大人的嘱托，妾身与族人是绝不会使用的。
"Lord Young Master, you misunderstand. I never said this technique could extend one’s lifespan. Although it does involve some time法则, it is merely a clever trick with many drawbacks. If not for the instruction from Lady Goddess, we would never have used it."
“ ó ？” lín xuān yuè fā gǎn xìng qù le 。
“哦？”林轩越发感兴趣了。
"Oh?" Lin Xuan became even more interested.
“ cǐ zhǒng mì shù ， shì wǒ mò yuè zú de yī wèi dà néng suǒ chuàng ， jiè zhù cǐ shù ， qiè shēn de yī lǚ cán pò suī rán méi yǒu zhèng tuō shòu yuán de shù fù ， dàn zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng ， yě zēng jiā le shù bèi zhī duō ， suǒ yǐ cái néng yì zhí huó dào xiàn zài de 。”
“此种秘术，是我墨月族的一位大能所创，借助此术，妾身的一缕残魄虽然没有挣脱寿元的束缚，但在原有的基础上，也增加了数倍之多，所以才能一直活到现在的。”
"This secret technique was created by a powerful being in our Mo Yue clan. By using this technique, although my residual soul did not break free of the lifespan constraint, I gained several times its original length, which is why I can still live until now," Snow Spirit explained.
“ dàn bǎo liú xià lái de jǐn jǐn shì yī lǚ cán pò ， qiè shēn běn tǐ què yīn cǐ yǔn luò diào le ， bù zhǐ shì wǒ ， jǐ míng zú rén wéi le shī zhǎn cǐ shù ， yě hào jìn shòu yuán ， yì qǐ zuò huà diào le 。”
“但保留下来的仅仅是一缕残魄，妾身本体却因此陨落掉了，不止是我，几名族人为了施展此术，也耗尽寿元，一起坐化掉了。”
"But what remains is just a fragment of my soul. The main body of me perished due to the use of this technique. Not only was it me, but several clan members also exhausted their lifespans and passed away together."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。” lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ：“ rú xiān zi suǒ yán ， cǐ mì shù ， chú fēi wàn bù dé yǐ ， shī zhǎn qǐ lái hái zhēn shì dé bù cháng shī 。”
“原来如此。”林轩叹了口气：“如仙子所言，此秘术，除非万不得已，施展起来还真是得不偿失。”
"Ah, I see." Lin Xuan sighed. "As Lady Fairy said, unless absolutely necessary, using such a secret technique would indeed be unwise."
tā zhè huà bìng fēi wú dì fàng shǐ ， bì jìng bǎo liú xià lái de jǐn jǐn shì yī lǚ cán pò ， chú le chuán dì xiāo xī ， yě nán yǐ yǒu bié de yòng tú 。
他这话并非无的放矢，毕竟保留下来的仅仅是一缕残魄，除了传递消息，也难以有别的用途。
His words were not without reason; after all, the residual soul could only serve to convey messages with limited other uses.
yī shí jiān ， liǎng rén xiāng duì wú yǔ ， dàn hěn kuài ， lín xuān yòu xiàng xiǎng qǐ shén me ：“ duì le ， xiān zi céng shuō ， nǐ men zài zhè ér de mù dì ， shì kān guǎn mò yuè zú yí liú xià lái de bǎo wù 。”
一时间，两人相对无语，但很快，林轩又像想起什么：“对了，仙子曾说，你们在这儿的目的，是看管墨月族遗留下来的宝物。”
For a moment, they fell into silence. But soon, Lin Xuan seemed to remember something: "Right, Lady Fairy mentioned that your purpose here is to guard the treasures left behind by our Mo Yue clan."
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
"Correct."
xuě líng yě chóng xīn zhuǎn guò tóu lú ：“ dāng nián ， wǒ mò yuè zú zāo féng dà nàn ， suī rán yīn wèi shì fā tū rán ， zú zhōng suǒ jī cún de dà liàng cái liào bǎo wù 。 dōu huà wéi wū yǒu 。 dàn duō shǎo zǒng hái shì dài chū lái yī xiē ， shén nǚ dà rén jiāo gěi wǒ men bǎo guǎn ， děng dài shǎo zhǔ de dào lái 。”
雪灵也重新转过头颅：“当年，我墨月族遭逢大难，虽然因为事发突然，族中所积存的大量材料宝物。都化为乌有。但多少总还是带出来一些，神女大人交给我们保管，等待少主的到来。”
Snow Spirit turned her head again: "Back then, our Mo Yue clan faced great calamity. Although many materials and treasures were lost due to the sudden incident, some still managed to be brought out. Goddess Lady entrusted us with their safekeeping until Lord Young Master's arrival."
“ děng dài wǒ de dào lái ？” lín xuān biǎo qíng yī dāi 。
“等待我的到来？”林轩表情一呆。
"Until my arrival?" Lin Xuan was taken aback.
“ bù cuò ， àn zhào dà rén de zhǔ tuō ， nín jì shì wǒ mò yuè zú shǎo zhǔ ， nà běn zú yí liú xià lái de bǎo wù ， dāng rán yě jiù guī nǐ jì chéng le 。”
“不错，按照大人的嘱托，您既是我墨月族少主，那本族遗留下来的宝物，当然也就归你继承了。”
"Yes, according to the instructions from our Lady, as the head of our Mo Yue clan, these treasures naturally belong to you," Snow Spirit said.
lín xuān yě bù yóu dà gǎn jīng è 。 tiān xià hái yǒu diào xiàn bǐng de hǎo shì me 。
林轩也不由大感惊愕。天下还有掉馅饼的好事么。
Lin Xuan was greatly surprised. Was there such a thing as a free lunch in this world?
suī rán lín xuān lái zhè shàng gǔ xiū shì de yí jì ， yuán běn jiù shì wèi le xún zhǎo bǎo wù 。
虽然林轩来这上古修士的遗迹，原本就是为了寻找宝物。
Although he had come here for ancient cultivator's treasures, the benefits he could gain now far exceeded his previous expectations.
rán ér zhào yǎn qián nǚ zǐ suǒ shuō ， zì jǐ néng gòu huò dé de hǎo chù ， què bù zhī yào yuǎn chāo xiān qián de yù jì duō shǎo bèi le 。
然而照眼前女子所说，自己能够获得的好处，却不知要远超先前的预计多少倍了。
Knowing that the Mo Yue clan was once immensely powerful and had accumulated countless materials and treasures, even if some were lost due to the suddenness of the calamity, the number of valuable items brought out would still be significant.
yào zhī dào mò yuè zú fàng zài shàng gǔ ， kě shì qiáng dà wú bǐ ， zú zhōng gāo shǒu bèi chū 。 zì rán shì jī zǎn le bù zhī dào duō shǎo cái liào bǎo wù 。
要知道墨月族放在上古，可是强大无比，族中高手辈出。自然是积攒了不知道多少材料宝物。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but show a look of great joy. However, he understood that there was no such thing as free lunch in this world. After his excitement, he pondered and asked, "Did Lady Goddess say what I need to do to inherit these treasures?"
nǎ pà yīn wèi biàn qǐ cāng cù ， sǔn shī le yī xiē ， dàn dài chū lái de bǎo bèi ， shù liàng zhī duō ， kǒng pà yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
哪怕因为变起仓促，损失了一些，但带出来的宝贝，数量之多，恐怕也是非同小可。
"There… the Lady didn’t give specific instructions. Given our clan's dire circumstances back then, it’s uncertain if we could recover. Therefore, Lady Goddess did not specify that you must do anything."
lín xuān liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè， bù guò tā yě míng bái ， tiān xià méi yǒu miǎn fèi de wǔ cān ， yú shì xīng fèn guò hòu 。 jiù chén yín zhe kāi kǒu ：“ nà shén nǚ qián bèi yǒu méi yǒu shuō 。 jì chéng zhè xiē bǎo wù ， xū yào lín mǒu zuò xiē shén me ？”
林轩脸上不由得露出大喜过望之sè，不过他也明白，天下没有免费的午餐，于是兴奋过后。就沉吟着开口：“那神女前辈有没有说。继承这些宝物，需要林某做些什么？”
Lin Xuan was speechless at this point; he had received so many benefits without any effort.
“ zhè …… dà rén dào méi yǒu fēn fù 。 bì jìng wǒ mò yuè zú dāng nián de jìng kuàng ， què shí zāo gāo yǐ jí ， néng fǒu dōng shān zài qǐ ， yě shì bù hǎo shuō dì ， suǒ yǐ shén nǚ dà rén bìng méi yǒu shuō ， yí dìng xū yào shǎo zhǔ zuò xiē shén me 。”
“这……大人倒没有吩咐。毕竟我墨月族当年的境况，确实糟糕以极，能否东山再起，也是不好说地，所以神女大人并没有说，一定需要少主做些什么。”
Though he wouldn't be happy about it, he was still a shrewd cultivator. After some thought, he understood the purpose behind Lady Goddess's arrangement.
lín xuān tīng dào zhè lǐ yě yǒu xiē wú yǔ ， zhè xiāng dāng yú píng bái wú gù ， bái sòng zì jǐ zhè me duō bǎo wù 。
林轩听到这里也有些无语，这相当于平白无故，白送自己这么多宝物。
On the surface, she didn’t ask for anything, but by receiving such great benefits, how could he remain indifferent if the Mo Yue clan ever faced difficulties in the future?
yào shuō bù gāo xìng ， nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén de 。
要说不高兴，那肯定是骗人的。
Although there were many heartless individuals in the cultivation world, Lin Xuan was not one of them. He believed that if someone did something good for him, he would repay it within his means.
bù guò lín xuān dào dǐ shì cōng míng jī biàn de xiū xiān zhě ， shāo yī sī suǒ ， jiù míng bái tiān wū shén nǚ zhè yàng ān pái de yòng yì le 。
不过林轩到底是聪明机变的修仙者，稍一思索，就明白天巫神女这样安排的用意了。
With this understanding, Lin Xuan wasn't a pretentious cultivator and said, "Thank you, Lady Goddess. I won’t refuse your kindness. If Mo Yue clan needs my assistance in the future, as long as it's within my capacity, I will not hesitate."
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， tā bìng méi yǒu yāo qiú shén me ， rán ér zì jǐ píng bái wú gù dé le tā zhè me duō hǎo chù ， yǐ hòu mò yuè zú ruò yǒu nán chǔ ， zì jǐ yòu zěn me hǎo yì si xiù shǒu páng guān ne ？
表面上看，她并没有要求什么，然而自己平白无故得了她这么多好处，以后墨月族若有难处，自己又怎么好意思袖手旁观呢？
Lin Xuan didn’t say he would risk his life for others, but this was enough to satisfy her. The Lord Young Master hadn't made any rash promises and proved himself a cultivator who kept his word. Handing over these treasures meant she had completed her mission.
suī rán xiū xiān jiè yě yǒu hěn duō guǎ qíng báo yì zhī tú ， dàn zhì shǎo lín xuān jué bú shì zhè yàng de rén lái zhe 。
虽然修仙界也有很多寡情薄意之徒，但至少林轩绝不是这样的人来着。
Snow Spirit smiled at the thought. She then raised both hands, fingers flickering, and various intricate techniques appeared on her fingertips like petals flying. These techniques combined into an ancient scroll.
shuō dī shuǐ zhī ēn ， yǒng quán xiāng bào yǒu xiē tài guò ， dàn yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， bié rén duì zì jǐ hǎo ， zhǐ yào zài néng lì suǒ jí de qíng kuàng xià ， tā yě huì tóu táo bào lǐ de 。
说滴水之恩，涌泉相报有些太过，但以林轩的xìng格，别人对自己好，只要在能力所及的情况下，他也会投桃报李的。
"This is…"
xiǎng tōng le zhè zhōng jiān de yuán gù ， lín xuān yě bú shì jiǎo qíng de xiū xiān zhě ， yú shì kāi kǒu ：“ duō xiè shén nǚ qián bèi de měi yì ， nà lín mǒu jiù bù tuī cí le ， yǐ hòu mò yuè zú ruò shì xū yào lín mǒu chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， zhǐ yào zài xià lì suǒ néng jí ， zài xià yí dìng bú huì tuī cí de 。”
想通了这中间的缘故，林轩也不是矫情的修仙者，于是开口：“多谢神女前辈的美意，那林某就不推辞了，以后墨月族若是需要林某出手相助，只要在下力所能及，在下一定不会推辞的。”
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he revealed a look of surprise. He recognized that scroll; it depicted birds, beasts, insects, and fish, similar to the treasure map he had received. However, while they were similar, this one was clearly more exquisite upon closer inspection.
lín xuān méi yǒu shuō fù tāng dǎo huǒ ， dàn cǐ nǚ yǐ shì shí fēn mǎn yì ， shǎo zhǔ méi yǒu hú luàn xǔ nuò ， gèng zhèng míng tā shì yán chū bì jiàn de xiū xiān zhě ， jiāng bǎo wù jiāo dào cǐ rén de shǒu zhōng ， zì jǐ de shǐ mìng zǒng suàn wán chéng le 。
林轩没有说赴汤蹈火，但此女已是十分满意，少主没有胡乱许诺，更证明他是言出必践的修仙者，将宝物交到此人的手中，自己的使命总算完成了。
"Quick!"
xuě líng niàn jí zhì cǐ ， zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， suí hòu yě méi yǒu dān gē ， shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， shí zhǐ fēn dàn ， yī dào dào xuán miào yì cháng de fǎ jué fú xiàn yú zhǐ jiān 。
雪灵念及至此，嘴角边流露出一丝笑意，随后也没有耽搁，双手抬起，十指纷弹，一道道玄妙异常的法诀浮现于指尖。
Snow Spirit pointed at the scroll before her. As she did so, the scroll emitted a dazzling light, coming alive as if it had a spirit. The sound of flowing water entered his ears.
rú huā bàn bān fēn fēi bù yǐ ， suí hòu pái liè zǔ hé ， yī fù gǔ piáo yì cháng de huà juàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
如花瓣般纷飞不已，随后排列组合，一副古朴异常的画卷浮现而出。
The river depicted on the scroll began to flow visibly. Clear water could be seen with several carp swimming and playing. Above, an eagle soared through the sky. Nearby, wildflowers bloomed, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
"This…"
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， liǎn shàng háo bù yǎn shì de lù chū le chī jīng zhī sè。
林轩瞳孔微缩，脸上毫不掩饰的露出了吃惊之sè。
Lin Xuan, despite his extensive experience, was still shocked. He couldn't help but silently marvel at the Mo Yue clan's secret techniques.
nà fú huà juàn tā shí fēn shú xī ， shàng miàn yǒu niǎo shòu chóng yú ， yǔ zhēn zì jǐ dé dào de cáng bǎo tú pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì 。
那幅画卷他十分熟悉，上面有鸟兽虫鱼，与真自己得到的藏宝图颇有几分相似。
Though he was stunned, Lin Xuan didn’t ask any questions as it was clear that Snow Spirit’s spell was reaching its critical moment. Disturbing her might result in failure.
dàn yě jǐn jǐn shì xiāng sì ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， dà tǐ shàng chà bu duō ， dàn zǐ xì jiàn shǎng ， què fā xiàn yǎn qián de huà juàn ， míng xiǎn yào jīng měi yī xiē 。
但也仅仅是相似，一眼望去，大体上差不多，但仔细鉴赏，却发现眼前的画卷，明显要jīng美一些。
Lin Xuan had good judgment and remained silent, floating nearby without doing anything.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
After about half a cup of tea, Snow Spirit continued to wave her hands, casting more techniques from her fingertips. She also opened her lips, reciting ancient incantations.
suí hòu biàn jiàn yǎn qián de shào nǚ yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
随后便见眼前的少女一指向前点去。
"Break!"
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà xuán fú zài qián fāng de huà juàn líng guāng dà zuò ， suí hòu bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le 。
随着她的动作，那悬浮在前方的画卷灵光大做，随后不可思议的一幕发生了。
With another soft command, faint sounds of wind and thunder were heard. Several statues around them began to emit bright light. From their eyes, beams of light shot out, entering the ancient scroll without hesitation. Surrounding elemental energy seemed to be summoned by this, swirling towards the scroll and vanishing instantly.
zhǐ jiàn líng guāng liú zhuǎn ， zhè fú gǔ piáo de huà juàn jìng fǎng fú huó guò le lái ， chán chán de shuǐ shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
只见灵光流转，这幅古朴的画卷竟仿佛活过了来，潺潺的水声传入耳朵。
A clear sound echoed as the scroll became dazzlingly bright, increasing in size tenfold or more.
ròu yǎn kě jiàn huà juàn shàng de yī tiáo xiǎo hé kāi shǐ liú dòng ， hé shuǐ qīng chè ， kě yǐ kàn jiàn jǐ tiáo lǐ yú ， zhèng yáo tóu bǎi wěi de xī xì 。
肉眼可见画卷上的一条小河开始流动，河水清澈，可以看见几条鲤鱼，正摇头摆尾的嬉戏。
PS: Keeping my promise, here is the third chapter for you. The entire book is complete.
"Secret technique? What secret technique?"
Lin Xuan spoke curiously.
"It's a secret technique that can extend one's lifespan," Snow Spirit said softly.
"Extend one's lifespan?" Lin Xuan was shocked. How could this be possible?
Cultivation cultivation, the original purpose was to gain eternal life. Thus, although cultivators had great powers like moving mountains and overturning seas, there hadn't been any technique known that could extend one's lifespan.
