第三千一百三十五章 山岳金乌图与万剑图

bsp;    lín xuān de xìng zi shì guǒ gǎn jiān yì méi cuò ， rán ér zhè yī lián chuàn de dǎ jī yào shuō bàn diǎn yě bù zài hū nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén de 。レレ

bsp;   林轩的xìng子是果敢坚毅没错，然而这一连串的打击要说半点也不在乎那肯定是骗人的。レレ

Lin Xuan's nature was bold and resolute, but the series of setbacks made him feel anything but indifferent.

zhǐ shì xīn zhōng yù mèn yòu rú hé ， duì yú jiě jué yǎn qián de wēi jī méi yǒu bàn diǎn bāng zhù 。

只是心中郁闷又如何，对于解决眼前的危机没有半点帮助。

Just feeling depressed wasn't going to help solve the immediate crisis at hand.

xiàn zài gāi zěn me bàn ne ？

现在该怎么办呢？

What should he do now?

lín xuān zhòu méi sī suǒ 。

林轩皱眉思索。

Lin Xuan frowned as he pondered his options. However, amidst his frustration, a glimmer of hope persisted. He had tried every known method to refine this treasure, yet none worked. This situation was indeed vexing, but it also suggested that the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram's quality far exceeded his initial expectations.

rán ér zài yù mèn de tóng shí ， xīn zhōng de xī yì què yuè fā zhí zhuó ， zì jǐ fèi jìn xīn jī ， dōu wú fǎ liàn huà zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， gù rán lìng rén tóu téng ， dàn cóng lìng yí gè cè miàn yě shuō míng le ， wàn jiàn tú de pǐn jí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， kǒng pà hái yào shèng guò zì jǐ yuán xiān de yù jì xǔ duō

然而在郁闷的同时，心中的希翼却越发执着，自己费尽心机，都无法炼化这件宝物，这种情况，固然令人头疼，但从另一个侧面也说明了，万剑图的品级非同小可，恐怕还要胜过自己原先的预计许多

Misfortune and fortune are interdependent; Lin Xuan knew this well. So while he felt some frustration, he wasn't overly anxious. After all, good things take time, and a little patience wouldn’t hurt.

fú xī huò suǒ yī ， huò xī fú suǒ fú ， zhè dào lǐ lín xuān kě xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。

福兮祸所依，祸兮福所伏，这道理林轩可心中有数。

But what should he do next?

gù ér tā yù mèn suī yǒu yī xiē ， què bìng méi yǒu xīn jí shàng huǒ ， sú huà shuō hǎo shì duō mó ， zhè diǎn nài xīn lín xuān kěn dìng hái shì yǒu de 。

故而他郁闷虽有一些，却并没有心急上火，俗话说好事多磨，这点耐心林轩肯定还是有的。

Lin Xuan was truly at a loss. Despite his broad knowledge, he had already tried every technique to refine the treasure over the past six months, with no success. He was now completely at a dead end.

zhǐ shì jiē xià lái gāi zěn me bàn ne ？

只是接下来该怎么办呢？

Lin Xuan stared at the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram, lost in thought.

lín xuān xīn zhōng shì zhēn de méi yǒu le pǔ ér ， tā suǒ xué suī rán guǎng bó ， rán ér rú hé liàn huà fǎ bǎo de mì shù zài zhè bàn nián de shí guāng zhōng dū yǐ jīng yī yī shì guò 。

林轩心中是真的没有了谱儿，他所学虽然广博，然而如何炼化法宝的秘术在这半年的时光中都已经一一试过。

"Ah!"

wán quán méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， lín xuān xiàn zài shì zhēn de yī chóu mò zhǎn le 。

完全没有效果，林轩现在是真的一筹莫展了。

After a long while, he sighed.

lín xuān wàng zhuó yǎn qián de wàn jiàn tú ， xiàn rù le chén mò de sī suǒ 。

林轩望着眼前的万剑图，陷入了沉默的思索。

For a moment, Lin Xuan couldn’t think of any good solutions and decided to put it aside for now. Once he emerged from his seclusion, he would delve into ancient texts and hopefully find a way out.

“ āi ！”

“唉！”

Since he had no immediate ideas, Lin Xuan didn't plan on spending more time on the matter. He had plenty of other things to handle.

liáng jiǔ ， tā fā chū yī shēng tàn xī

良久，他发出一声叹息

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Xuan took out another treasure—a scroll depicting a mountain of black gold.

lín xuān yī shí piàn kè ， yě xiǎng bù chū shén me jiě jué de hǎo zhǔ yì ， zhǐ shì zàn shí fàng qì ， dài chū guān yǐ hòu duō fān yuè yī xià shàng gǔ diǎn jí ， lín xuān xiāng xìn ， zǒng néng gòu zhǎo dào jiě jué zhī dào dì 。

林轩一时片刻，也想不出什么解决的好主意，只是暂时放弃，待出关以后多翻阅一下上古典籍，林轩相信，总能够找到解决之道地。

The Mountain Golden Bird Scroll!

yī shí ná zhè jiàn bǎo bèi méi yǒu zhǔ yì ， lín xuān yě bù dǎ suàn jiāng duō yú de shí jiān huā fèi shàng qù ， fǎn zhèng hái yǒu xǔ duō qí tā de shì qíng xū yào chǔ lǐ 。

一时拿这件宝贝没有主意，林轩也不打算将多余的时间花费上去，反正还有许多其他的事情需要处理。

To be honest, Lin Xuan himself wasn’t sure why he brought this item out. It seemed as if some unseen voice was guiding him, but the exact reason eluded him. So he didn't overthink it and simply took it out.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yuán běn shì dǎ suàn shōu qǐ wàn jiàn tú ， què guǐ shǐ shén chāi de ná chū le lìng wài yī jiàn bǎo wù 。

脑海中念头转过，林轩袖袍一拂，原本是打算收起万剑图，却鬼使神差的拿出了另外一件宝物。

This too was a spirit treasure, though a relatively recent one. Its power was still considerable.

yě shì yī fù huà zhóu ， zào xíng gǔ piáo ， yǒu yī gǔ mán huāng de qì xī yóu qí biǎo miàn sàn fà ér chū 。

也是一副画轴，造型古朴，有一股蛮荒的气息由其表面散发而出。

However, Lin Xuan had already advanced to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, making this scroll somewhat outdated. Although it contained some true soul phoenix spirits, its power felt too weak for him.

shān yuè wū jīn tú ！

山岳乌金图！

He hadn’t used this item in battle for quite some time.

píng xīn lái shuō ， lín xuān zì jǐ dōu bù zhī dào wèi hé yào ná chū zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， fǎng fú míng míng zhōng yǒu yí gè shēng yīn ràng tā zhè me zuò ， rán ér tài jù tǐ de yuán yīn lín xuān zì jǐ dōu bù qīng chǔ ， yú shì tā yě jiù méi yǒu duō xiǎng shén me 。

平心来说，林轩自己都不知道为何要拿出这件宝物，仿佛冥冥中有一个声音让他这么做，然而太具体的原因林轩自己都不清楚，于是他也就没有多想什么。

Of course, a divine treasure’s intrinsic value was immense, so even though he found it somewhat redundant, Lin Xuan kept it in his waist pouch called the Momentary Bag.

shùn lǐ chéng zhāng de jiāng zhè jiàn bǎo wù qǔ chū lái le 。

顺理成章的将这件宝物取出来了。

Habit became second nature, and he didn't pay much attention to it. However, just now, something subtle stirred within him. He wasn’t sure why, but somehow, this Mountain Golden Bird Scroll was taken out.

zhè yě shì yī jiàn líng bǎo ！

这也是一件灵宝！

Could there be a connection between these two treasures…

suī rán zhǐ shì hòu tiān zhī wù 。 dàn wēi lì hái shì pǒ wèi bù sú 。

虽然只是后天之物。但威力还是颇为不俗。

A thought arose in Lin Xuan’s mind. Although he had no certainty, trying wouldn’t cost much time.

bù guò lín xuān rú jīn yǐ jìn jiē dào le dù jié qī 。 zhè shān yuè jīn wū tú jiù xiǎn de yǒu xiē bù hé shí yí ， lǐ miàn suī rán fēng yìn yǒu yī xiē zhēn líng zhū què de hún pò ， dàn wēi lì duì tā lái shuō ， què xiǎn de tài ruò 。

不过林轩如今已进阶到了渡劫期。这山岳金乌图就显得有些不合时宜，里面虽然封印有一些真灵朱雀的魂魄，但威力对他来说，却显得太弱。

Since he had already wasted six months here, one more failure wouldn't matter. Trying it couldn’t hurt.

lín xuān duì dí ， yǐ jīng hěn jiǔ méi yǒu yòng guò zhè jiàn bǎo wù 。

林轩对敌，已经很久没有用过这件宝物。

With his thoughts settled, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve again. The Mountain Golden Bird Scroll rose into the air and hovered above him.

dāng rán ， tōng tiān líng bǎo běn shēn de jià zhí fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， gù ér zhè jiàn bǎo bèi zài lín xuān kàn lái suī rán yǒu diǎn jī lèi 。 què yě méi yǒu shě qì ， yì zhí rèn yóu tā fàng zài yāo jiān de xū yú dài lǐ 。

当然，通天灵宝本身的价值非同小可，故而这件宝贝在林轩看来虽然有点鸡肋。却也没有舍弃，一直任由它放在腰间的须臾袋里。

Slowly unfurling, a very ancient scroll appeared before his eyes.

sú huà shuō ， xí guàn chéng zì rán ， zhè jiàn shì qíng tā yuán běn yě méi yǒu zài yì ， rán ér jiù zài gāng gāng ， xīn zhōng què yǒu yì diǎn líng zhào xiǎng qǐ 。 lín xuān yě bù zhī dào yuán yīn shì shén me ， dàn jiù zhè yàng guǐ shǐ shén chāi de qǔ chū le shān yuè jīn wū tú 。

俗话说，习惯成自然，这件事情他原本也没有在意，然而就在刚刚，心中却有一点灵兆响起。林轩也不知道原因是什么，但就这样鬼使神差的取出了山岳金乌图。

A red glow emerged from the scroll, and in the center of the painting were twelve distinct mountains of varying sizes.

nán dào zhè liǎng jiàn bǎo bèi bǐ cǐ jiān huì yǒu shén me lián xì ……

难道这两件宝贝彼此间会有什么联系……

Unlike ordinary landscapes, these mountains weren’t lush with greenery. Instead, they stood tall and proud, their peaks reaching towards the sky. The surfaces of the mountains lacked any vegetation—only flames burned there.

yí gè niàn tou zài lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng shēng qǐ 。

一个念头在林轩脑海中生起。

Volcanoes?

suī rán tā yě méi yǒu shén me bǎ wò ， dàn shì yī shì fǎn zhèng yě huā fèi bù liǎo duō shǎo shí jiān de 。

虽然他也没有什么把握，但试一试反正也花费不了多少时间的。

No, this was clearly different from what he expected.

fǎn zhèng bàn nián de shí jiān dōu yǐ jīng hào fèi zài zhè lǐ ， lín xuān zì rán bù zài yì duō shī bài nà me yī cì ， shì yī shì yòu bú huì yǒu duō dà de sǔn shī 。

反正半年的时间都已经耗费在这里，林轩自然不在意多失败那么一次，试一试又不会有多大的损失。

At the base of some of the mountains, strange birds circled around.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， shān yuè jīn wū tú chōng tiān ér qǐ ， lüè yī zhuǎn zhé 。 jiù xuán fú zài le lín xuān tóu dǐng zhī chù 。

脑海中念头转过，林轩袖袍一拂，山岳金乌图冲天而起，略一转折。就悬浮在了林轩头顶之处。

These birds had three legs and looked somewhat like crows but were adorned with golden feathers.

màn màn zhǎn kāi 。 yī fú jí qí gǔ piáo de huà juàn suí zhī yìng rù le yǎn lián 。

慢慢展开。一幅极其古朴的画卷随之映入了眼帘。

Seeing this, the name of these creatures came to mind: Three-legged Golden Birds!

zhǐ jiàn yī tuán hóng máng zài nà juàn zhóu shàng fú xiàn ， huà juàn zhōng zuì wèi xiǎn yǎn de shì yī shí èr zuò dà xiǎo bù yī de xiǎo shān 。

只见一团红芒在那卷轴上浮现，画卷中最为显眼的是一十二座大小不一的小山。

Their power might not match that of phoenixes, but they were still formidable.

rán ér yǔ pǔ tōng de shān shuǐ huà bù tóng 。 zhè xiē xiǎo shān bìng bú shì cuì lǜ qīng cōng ， qià qià xiāng fǎn ， nà yī shí èr zuò shān fēng kě yòng tǐng bá gū ào lái xíng róng 。

然而与普通的山水画不同。这些小山并不是翠绿青葱，恰恰相反，那一十二座山峰可用挺拔孤傲来形容。

Although he hadn’t used it in years, Lin Xuan remembered what was depicted on this scroll. However, comparing it to the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram, he had a new insight.

guài shí lín xún ， zhí chā rù yún xiāo zhī zhōng ， shān fēng biǎo miàn ， bié shuō huā duǒ shù mù ， lián yī sī zá cǎo yě wú ， dǎo shì hěn róng yì kàn jiàn huǒ yàn zài nà lǐ rán shāo zhe 。

怪石嶙峋，直插入云霄之中，山峰表面，别说花朵树木，连一丝杂草也无，倒是很容易看见火焰在那里燃烧着。

In essence, these two scrolls, despite their vastly different qualities and subjects, shared a familiar style. It felt as if… they were created by the same person.

huǒ shān ？

火山？

Could it be…

bú duì ， yǔ yì bān yìn xiàng de huǒ shān míng xiǎn bù tóng 。

不对，与一般印象的火山明显不同。

Lin Xuan’s mind began to piece together the puzzle. He was almost certain that there was a connection between these treasures.

ér zài shān yāo zhī chù ， kě yǐ kàn jiàn yī xiē qí guài de niǎo ér pán xuán zhe 。

而在山腰之处，可以看见一些奇怪的鸟儿盘旋着。

However, exactly what kind of connection remained unclear. Lin Xuan had gained some clarity. Perhaps… this Ten Thousand Swords Diagram couldn’t be refined in the first place.

nà xiē niǎo ér de xíng zhuàng jí wéi qí tè ， yǔ shì sú de wū yā pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， rán ér què yǒu sān zú ， ér qiě yǔ máo de yán sè nǎi shì zūn guì ér xuàn lì de jīn sè。

那些鸟儿的形状极为奇特，与世俗的乌鸦颇有几分相似之处，然而却有三足，而且羽毛的颜sè乃是尊贵而绚丽的金sè。

In Sword Lake Palace, it was used with an array.

kàn dào zhè yí mù ， cǐ líng qín de míng zì yǐ shì hū zhī yù chū 。

看到这一幕，此灵禽的名字已是呼之yù出。

Originally, he thought its power increased significantly when combined with the array. But now, it seemed that while his initial guess might still hold, another possibility was that no one from the generations of Sword Lake Palace’s cultivators could refine this diagram; they only relied on the array to drive it.

sān zú jīn wū ！

三足金乌！

While he couldn’t be certain about this hypothesis, it was likely correct.

qí shén tōng yǔ fèng huáng xiāng bǐ suī rán pǒ yǒu bù rú ， dàn yě shì jí wéi qiáng dà de 。

其神通与凤凰相比虽然颇有不如，但也是极为强大的。

If the ancestors of Sword Lake Palace failed, how could he succeed?

suī rán duō nián bù yòng ， qí shí zhè juàn zhóu zhōng de huà miàn shì shén me ， lín xuān yòu qǐ huì wàng le ， bù guò cǐ kè zài yī kàn ， duì bǐ xià fāng de wàn jiàn tú ， lín xuān què yǒu le xīn de gǎn wù 。

虽然多年不用，其实这卷轴中的画面是什么，林轩又岂会忘了，不过此刻再一看，对比下方的万剑图，林轩却有了新的感悟。

Lin Xuan wasn't discouraged. His gaze fell upon the two treasures: the Ten Thousand Swords Diagram and the Mountain Golden Bird Scroll. What connection did they share beyond their similar styles?

zěn me shuō ne ？

怎么说呢？

There must be something else useful to discover.

zhè liǎng fú juàn zhóu ， suī rán pǐn jí dà bù xiāng tóng ， huà de dōng xī yě shì jiǒng yì ， rán ér piān piān huà fēng ， gěi rén de gǎn jué què shì sì céng xiāng shí de ， jiù fǎng fú …… fǎng fú chū yú tóng yī rén zhī shǒu 。

这两幅卷轴，虽然品级大不相同，画的东西也是迥异，然而偏偏画风，给人的感觉却是似曾相识的，就仿佛……仿佛出于同一人之手。

Lin Xuan needed to try.

nán dào shuō ……

难道说……

Taking a deep breath, he infused his essence energy into both items. He didn’t know what to do next but had no choice but to proceed step by step.

lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu le chuǎi mó ， tā jī hū kě yǐ kěn dìng zhè liǎng jiàn bǎo wù ， bǐ cǐ zhī jiān dà yǒu guān lián le 。

林轩心中隐隐有了揣摩，他几乎可以肯定这两件宝物，彼此之间大有关联了。

However, the next scene was far from what Lin Xuan expected.

rán jù tǐ shì shén me què bù tài hǎo shuō ， lín xuān xīn zhōng dǎo shì duō le yì diǎn míng wù ， yě xǔ …… zhè wàn jiàn tú yuán běn jiù shì wú fǎ liàn huà de 。

然具体是什么却不太好说，林轩心中倒是多了一点明悟，也许……这万剑图原本就是无法炼化的。

A clear and resonant sound echoed as the two treasures began to glow. They then rose into the air and merged in the middle.

zài jiàn hú gōng ， zhè dōng xī shì pèi hé zhèn fǎ lái shǐ yòng 。

在剑湖宫，这东西是配合阵法来使用。

Lin Xuan almost thought he was hallucinating.

yuán běn zì jǐ yǐ wéi zhè shì yīn wèi yǔ zhèn fǎ xiàng jié hé ， néng ràng cǐ bǎo de wēi lì dà zēng xǔ duō ， dàn xiàn zài kàn lái ， zhè ge cāi cè suī rán wèi bì yǒu cuò ， dàn hái yǒu yí gè kě néng shì ， jiàn hú gōng lì dài xiū shì ， gēn běn yě wú fǎ liàn huà zhè wàn jiàn tú ， zhǐ yǒu jiè zhù zhèn fǎ zhī lì ， lái qū shǐ zhè jiàn bǎo wù 。

原本自己以为这是因为与阵法相结合，能让此宝的威力大增许多，但现在看来，这个猜测虽然未必有错，但还有一个可能是，剑湖宫历代修士，根本也无法炼化这万剑图，只有借助阵法之力，来驱使这件宝物。

But when he rubbed his eyes, the image remained unchanged. The two scrolls were indeed merging mid-air, a process that defied words but was real. Two ancient scrolls combined, and brilliant spiritual light appeared before him.

suī rán bù gǎn bǎi fēn zhī bǎi kěn dìng zhè ge cāi cè ， dàn dà tǐ yīng gāi shì zhè yàng méi cuò 。

虽然不敢百分之百肯定这个猜测，但大体应该是这样没错。

The surrounding elemental energy became chaotic.

jiàn hú gōng lì dài zǔ shī dōu zuò bú dào de shì ， zì jǐ yòu gāi rú hé ？

剑湖宫历代祖师都做不到的事，自己又该如何？

No, it wasn’t just the elemental energy; the clear sky darkened suddenly, followed by fierce winds and heavy rain. Lightning danced across the sky, deafening thunder roared, and from afar, it seemed as if a heavenly tribulation was about to descend.

lín xuān bìng méi yǒu qì něi ， tā de mù guāng luò xiàng le qián miàn de liǎng jiàn bǎo wù ， wàn jiàn tú ， shān yuè jīn wū tú ， liǎng zhě jiū jìng yǒu zěn yàng de lián xì ne ？

林轩并没有气馁，他的目光落像了前面的两件宝物，万剑图，山岳金乌图，两者究竟有怎样的联系呢？
