第三千三百三十章 不能大意

“ zhào yì fù zhè me shuō ， xiǎng yào còu qí sān dà shén guǒ ， què shí shì kùn nán dào le jí chù 。” tián xiǎo jiàn yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， chén yín de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。

“照义父这么说，想要凑齐三大神果，确实是困难到了极处。”田小剑以手抚额，沉吟的声音传入耳朵。

According to Master Ziyi, gathering the three divine fruits would indeed be extremely difficult. Tian Xiaojian ran his hand through his hair, his musing voice entering my ears.

“ xiǎo zi ， nǐ hái zhēn shì hǎo dà de kǒu qì ， yǒu xiē dōng xī qiǎng qiú bù dé ， wǒ quàn nǐ hái shì shí jì yī xiē ， xiǎng xiǎng rú hé huò dé míng hé shén guǒ ， zhì yú lìng wài liǎng zhǒng bǎo wù ， xiān bú yào qù shē wàng shén me 。” jiàn le tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn sè ， mó zú dà tǒng lǐng dāng rán zhī dào tā zài xiǎng shén me ， méi hǎo qì de kāi kǒu le 。

“小子，你还真是好大的口气，有些东西强求不得，我劝你还是实际一些，想想如何获得冥河神果，至于另外两种宝物，先不要去奢望什么。”见了田小剑的脸色，魔族大统领当然知道他在想什么，没好气的开口了。

"Boy, you really do have a big mouth. Some things are beyond our reach, and I advise you to be practical. Think about how to obtain the Soul River Divine Fruit; as for the other two treasures, don't expect too much just yet," the Demon Lord Grand Commander said with an unamused tone upon seeing Tian Xiaojian's expression.

“ duō xiè yì fù liáng yán ， hái ér zhī dào gāi zěn me zuò ， bù guò zài nǐ kàn lái ， wǒ yǒu jǐ chéng de jī lǜ huò dé míng hé shén guǒ ？” tián xiǎo jiàn què shì xū xīn qiú jiào qǐ lái le 。

“多谢义父良言，孩儿知道该怎么做，不过在你看来，我有几成的几率获得冥河神果？”田小剑却是虚心求教起来了。

"Thank you, Master Ziyi, I know what to do. But according to your estimation, how likely am I to obtain the Soul River Divine Fruit?" Tian Xiaojian humbly sought advice.

“ hēi ， zhè què bù tài hǎo shuō ， míng hé shén shù nǎi xī shì qí wù ， cóng kāi huā dào jié guǒ chà bu duō yào bǎi wàn nián de gōng fu ， měi yī cì suǒ jié de guǒ zi yě bù guò liáo liáo shù méi bà le ， zhè yàng suàn lái ， cóng shàng gǔ shí qī zhì jīn ， qí shí yě méi yǒu duō dà shōu huò 。”

“嘿，这却不太好说，冥河神树乃稀世奇物，从开花到结果差不多要百万年的功夫，每一次所结的果子也不过寥寥数枚罢了，这样算来，从上古时期至今，其实也没有多大收获。”

"Hmm, that's hard to say. The Soul River Divine Tree is a rare wonder of the world. It takes about a million years from flowering to fruiting, and each time it bears only a few fruits. Thus, since ancient times, there hasn't been much yield."

“ ér měi yī cì míng hé shén guǒ chéng shú ， nà xiē dù jié qī cún zài bú shì qū zhī ruò wù ， bié shuō dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， chū qī zhōng qī de xiū shì men ， zhǐ yào yǒu jī huì ， yě jué bú huì fàng guò 。”

“而每一次冥河神果成熟，那些渡劫期存在不是趋之若鹜，别说渡劫后期的老怪物，初期中期的修士们，只要有机会，也绝不会放过。”

"Every time the Soul River Divine Fruit ripens, those at the Tribulation Transcending stage don't hesitate to rush for them. Not just late-stage tribulation transcenders, but even early and mid-stage cultivators wouldn't pass up such an opportunity if they had one."

“ chū qī yǔ zhōng qī de cún zài ， yě rú cǐ rè luò ？” tián xiǎo jiàn yǒu xiē yì wài le 。

“初期与中期的存在，也如此热络？”田小剑有些意外了。

"Early and mid-stage existences are also so eager?" Tian Xiaojian was surprised.

xū zhī lǐng yù zhè dōng xī ， wéi yǒu dào le dù jié hòu qī ， cái néng lǐng wù ， ér hòu qī píng jǐng néng bù néng kuà guò ， shéi dōu méi yǒu bǎ wò ， dù jié chū qī yǔ dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， rú cǐ rè zhōng zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， wèi miǎn xiǎn de yǒu xiē lí pǔ ， mò fēi tā men yí gè gè ， dōu duì zì jǐ rú cǐ xìn xīn shí zú 。

须知领域这东西，唯有到了渡劫后期，才能领悟，而后期瓶颈能不能跨过，谁都没有把握，渡劫初期与渡劫中期的修仙者，如此热衷这件宝物，未免显得有些离谱，莫非他们一个个，都对自己如此信心十足。

Remembering the Domain, only those at late-stage Tribulation Transcending could comprehend it. Whether or not they could transcend that bottleneck was uncertain for anyone. The eagerness of early and mid-stage cultivators to obtain this treasure seemed excessive; did they all have such confidence in themselves?

tīng le tián xiǎo jiàn de yí huò ， mó zú dà tǒng lǐng què xiào mà qǐ lái le ：“ nǐ zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， zhēn shì cōng míng yī shì ， hú tú yī shí ， dù jié chū qī yǔ zhōng qī de cún zài zhōng ， gù rán bù fá zì wǒ gǎn jué liáng hǎo zhī tú ， dàn dà bù fèn rén 。 shì bú huì wèi yǔ chóu móu dào zhè bān dì bù 。”

听了田小剑的疑惑，魔族大统领却笑骂起来了：“你这小家伙，真是聪明一世，糊涂一时，渡劫初期与中期的存在中，固然不乏自我感觉良好之徒，但大部分人。是不会未雨绸缪到这般地步。”

Hearing Tian Xiaojian's doubts, the Demon Lord Grand Commander laughed and scolded: "You little fellow, you're smart enough but foolish at times. Among those at early and mid-stage Tribulation Transcending, there are indeed some who feel good about themselves, but most people wouldn't be so foresighted."

“ ó ， nà tā men mào rú cǐ dà de fēng xiǎn ， qù zhēng qiǎng míng hé shén guǒ ， yòu shì wèi hé ？” tián xiǎo jiàn bù jiě de shuō 。

“哦，那他们冒如此大的风险，去争抢冥河神果，又是为何？”田小剑不解的说。

"Oh, then why do they take such a big risk to vie for the Soul River Divine Fruit?" Tian Xiaojian asked in puzzlement.

“ nǐ zhè xiǎo zi ， píng shí qiáo zhe tǐng jī líng de ， zěn me piān piān zhè shí ， què zhuǎn bù guò wān lái le ？”

“你这小子，平时瞧着挺机灵的，怎么偏偏这时，却转不过弯来了？”

"You, boy, you seem quite clever usually. Why can't you understand now?"

mó zú dà tǒng lǐng chēng mù jié shé ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì yì wài zhī sè ：“ míng hé shén guǒ ， tā men zì jǐ huò xǔ yòng bù zhe 。 dàn zhè yàng de bǎo wù ， nán dào bù néng yòng yú jiāo huàn me ？”

魔族大统领瞠目结舌，脸上满是意外之色：“冥河神果，他们自己或许用不着。但这样的宝物，难道不能用于交换么？”

The Demon Lord Grand Commander was speechless with surprise on his face: "They might not need the Soul River Divine Fruit themselves, but such treasures can be exchanged for something else, right?"

“ jiāo huàn ？”

“交换？”

"Exchange?"

“ bù cuò ， dù jié qī de dān yào ， kě shì kuàng shì nán zhǎo ， dàn shǒu zhōng ruò yǒu míng hé shén guǒ 。 què bù nán huàn dào 。”

“不错，渡劫期的丹药，可是旷世难找，但手中若有冥河神果。却不难换到。”

"Yes, tribulation transcender pills are hard to come by in this world, but if one has a Soul River Divine Fruit, it's not difficult to trade."

“ zì jǐ zěn me jiāng zhè gěi wàng le ？”

“自己怎么将这给忘了？”

"Why did I forget this?"

tián xiǎo jiàn náo le náo tóu ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū yī fēn gān gà zhī sè 。

田小剑挠了挠头，脸上也露出一分尴尬之色。

Tian Xiaojian scratched his head, showing some embarrassment.

“ qí shí chú le dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， fēn shén qī de xiǎo jiā huo ， yī yàng huì yǒu bù shǎo qù còu rè nào de 。”

“其实除了渡劫级别的修仙者，分神期的小家伙，一样会有不少去凑热闹的。”

"In fact, apart from cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage, even those at the Spirit Cultivating stage would still go for the excitement."

“ fēn shén qī ？”

“分神期？”

"Spirit Cultivating stage?" Tian Xiaojian's face showed surprise. But he quickly pushed this news to the back of his mind, as his abilities were formidable enough that he wouldn't fall to anyone in the same stage unless something went wrong.

tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng lù chū yì wài zhī sè ， dàn hěn kuài jiù jiāng zhè ge xiāo xī pāo zhū dào jiǔ xiāo yún wài qù le ， bì jìng tā de shén tōng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， biàn shì duì shàng tóng jiē cún zài 。 zhǐ yào bù chū xiàn shén me chā cuò ， yě jué bú huì yǒu luò bài yī shuō ， qū qū fēn shén qī cún zài ， zì rán zǎo bù zài tā de yǎn zhōng 。

田小剑的脸上露出意外之色，但很快就将这个消息抛诸到九霄云外去了，毕竟他的神通非同小可，便是对上同阶存在。只要不出现什么差错，也绝不会有落败一说，区区分神期存在，自然早不在他的眼中。

"Cold Sword, you can't be careless on this treasure hunt. Those who know about the Soul River Divine Fruit are not easy people to deal with. Even those at the Spirit Cultivating stage shouldn't be underestimated."

“ jiàn ér 。 zhè cì xún bǎo zhī lǚ ， nǐ què bù néng dà yì ， xū zhī néng gòu huò dé míng hé shén guǒ xiāo xī de xiū xiān zhě ， méi yí gè huì shì hǎo xiāng yǔ de rén wù 。 biàn shì nà xiē fēn shén qī de xiǎo jiā huo ， yě bù néng tài guò qīng hū 。”

“剑儿。这次寻宝之旅，你却不能大意，需知能够获得冥河神果消息的修仙者，没一个会是好相与的人物。便是那些分神期的小家伙，也不能太过轻忽。”

"Master Ziyi, you're too cautious. The gap between Spirit Cultivating and Tribulation Transcending is vast. Besides, I'm already a mid-stage Tribulation Transcender. How can a Spirit Cultivating existence pose any threat to me?" Tian Xiaojian's voice of disagreement entered my ears.

“ yì fù 。 nǐ tài xiǎo xīn le ， fēn shén yǔ dù jié ， tiān chā dì yuǎn ， gèng hé kuàng wǒ yǐ jīng shì dù jié zhōng qī de cún zài ， qū qū fēn shén qī cún zài ， nán dào hái néng gěi wǒ zào chéng wēi xié ？” tián xiǎo jiàn bù yǐ wéi rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。

“义父。你太小心了，分神与渡劫，天差地远，更何况我已经是渡劫中期的存在，区区分神期存在，难道还能给我造成威胁？”田小剑不以为然的声音传入耳朵。

"Hmm, that can't be said. The Three Realms are so vast with countless geniuses and prodigies. Do you think only you have outstanding strength? For the Spirit Cultivating stage, it might not matter much for Cold Sword, but one must guard against some powerful characters holding rare and potent treasures," the Demon Lord Grand Commander said.

“ hēi ， huà bù néng zhè me shuō ， sān jiè miàn jī hé děng guǎng kuò ， tiān cái guài jié shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， nǐ yǐ wéi zhǐ yǒu nǐ cái shí lì chū zhòng ， néng gòu yuè jí tiǎo zhàn me ， fēn shén qī ， ruò jiù cháng lǐ ， duì jiàn ér nǐ lái shuō ， què shí bù zhí yī tí ， dàn yě yào dī fáng qí zhōng yǒu yī xiē biāo hàn de rén wù ， shǒu zhōng chí yǒu xī qí gǔ guài ， què wēi lì jí dà de bǎo wù ， huò zhě ……”

“嘿，话不能这么说，三界面积何等广阔，天才怪杰数不胜数，你以为只有你才实力出众，能够越级挑战么，分神期，若就常理，对剑儿你来说，确实不值一提，但也要提防其中有一些彪悍的人物，手中持有稀奇古怪，却威力极大的宝物，或者……”

"Or what?"

“ huò zhě rú hé ？”

“或者如何？”

Tian Xiaojian was genuinely interested.

tián xiǎo jiàn dào zhēn yǒu xiē gǎn xìng qù le 。

田小剑倒真有些感兴趣了。

"Or run into some tough guys who can't defeat you in battle and have nowhere to escape. They might self-destruct their essence cores just to give you a taste of it. Do you think that's fun?" The Demon Lord Grand Commander's voice turned cold, clearly showing his dissatisfaction.

“ huò zhě yù jiàn yī xiē biāo hàn de jiā huo ， yǎn jiàn dòu nǐ bù guò ， yòu wú chǔ táo tuō ， gěi nǐ lái gè zì bào yuán yīng ， nǐ yǐ wéi shì hǎo wán de me ？” mó zú dà tǒng lǐng shuō dào zhè lǐ ， shēng yīn bīng lěng le xià qù ， míng xiǎn dài yǒu bù mǎn zhī yì 。

“或者遇见一些彪悍的家伙，眼见斗你不过，又无处逃脱，给你来个自爆元婴，你以为是好玩的么？”魔族大统领说到这里，声音冰冷了下去，明显带有不满之意。

Knowing they were interdependent, if anything happened to Tian Xiaojian, his situation wouldn't be much better either.

xū zhī tā yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn shì hé zé liǎng lì ， yī róng jù róng ， yī sǔn jù sǔn ， tián xiǎo jiàn ruò yǒu shén me sān cháng liǎng duǎn ， tā de chǔ jìng ， yě hǎo bú dào nǎ ér qù 。

须知他与田小剑是合则两利，一荣俱荣，一损俱损，田小剑若有什么三长两短，他的处境，也好不到哪儿去。

Tian Xiaojian wasn't arrogant by nature; he only didn't take Spirit Cultivating stage cultivators seriously due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels. Hearing what the Demon Lord Grand Commander said, he realized his previous considerations were somewhat inappropriate.

tián xiǎo jiàn de xìng gé ， yǔ lín xuān chà bu duō ， yuán bú shì kuáng ào de rén wù ， zhǐ shì yīn wèi bǐ cǐ xiū wèi xiāng chà tài duō ， cái méi yǒu jiāng fēn shén qī xiū shì fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， cǐ kè tīng mó zú dà tǒng lǐng yī shuō ， yě jué de zì jǐ gāng cái de kǎo lǜ yǒu xiē qiàn tuǒ 。

田小剑的性格，与林轩差不多，原不是狂傲的人物，只是因为彼此修为相差太多，才没有将分神期修士放在眼里，此刻听魔族大统领一说，也觉得自己刚才的考虑有些欠妥。

One mustn't undervalue heroes of the world. Even if a Spirit Cultivating existence couldn't defeat him, everyone had their unique skills. If they accidentally got hurt by them, it wouldn't be worth it and could affect his quest for the Soul River Divine Fruit.

bù néng xiǎo shì tiān xià yīng xióng ， fēn shén qī xiū shì jiù suàn dǎ zì jǐ bù guò ， dàn měi gè rén dōu yǒu měi gè rén de jué huó ， wàn yī yí bù xiǎo xīn ， zài tā men shǒu lǐ shòu diǎn shāng ， nà yě shì jué bù huá suàn de ， nòng bù hǎo huì yǐng xiǎng zì jǐ zhēng duó míng hé shén guǒ 。

不能小视天下英雄，分神期修士就算打自己不过，但每个人都有每个人的绝活，万一一不小心，在他们手里受点伤，那也是绝不划算的，弄不好会影响自己争夺冥河神果。

"Thank you, Master Ziyi, I will be careful."

“ duō xiè yì fù tí diǎn ， hái ér huì xiǎo xīn de 。”

“多谢义父提点，孩儿会小心的。”

Tian Xiaojian's respectful voice entered my ears with a hint of gratitude.

tián xiǎo jiàn gōng jìng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ qì hái dài zhe jǐ fēn gǎn jī zhī sè 。

田小剑恭敬的声音传入耳朵，语气还带着几分感激之色。

Of course, whether he was genuinely grateful or not was hard to say.

dāng rán ， shì bú shì zhēn xīn shí yì ， nà kě jiù zhēn de bù tài hǎo shuō 。

当然，是不是真心实意，那可就真的不太好说。

But regardless, their cooperation remained amicable on the surface.

dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， tā yǔ mó zú dà tǒng lǐng de hé zuò ， biǎo miàn shàng hái shì qí lè róng róng de 。

但不管如何，他与魔族大统领的合作，表面上还是其乐融融的。

And this matter came to an end here.

ér cǐ shì zhì cǐ ， yě suàn gào yí duàn luò 。

而此事至此，也算告一段落。

...

……

……

Without further ado, let me return to Tian Xiaojian's situation. He didn't know what he was plotting at the moment. At present, Lin Xuan had already arrived in Blackstone City.

tián xiǎo jiàn zhè biān de qíng kuàng qiě bù shuō ， tā suǒ tú móu de dōng xī ， lín xuān zàn shí yě bù xiǎo de ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yǐ jīng lái dào hēi shí chéng le 。

田小剑这边的情况且不说，他所图谋的东西，林轩暂时也不晓得，此时此刻，他已经来到黑石城了。

As the name suggested, the city walls were made of a massive black rock, thick and heavy, with an expansive area stretching for tens of thousands of miles, capable of accommodating billions of cultivators.

gù míng sī yì ， cǐ chéng de chéng qiáng ， shì yóu yī zhǒng jù dà de hēi sè yán shí duī qì ér chéng dì ， hòu zhòng wú bǐ ， chéng chí de miàn jī gèng shì guǎng bó ， zòng héng shù wàn lǐ ， zhè me dà yī zuò chéng chí ， zú kě yǐ róng nà shù yǐ shí yì jì de xiū shì 。

顾名思义，此城的城墙，是由一种巨大的黑色岩石堆砌而成地，厚重无比，城池的面积更是广博，纵横数万里，这么大一座城池，足可以容纳数以十亿计的修士。

No wonder it was one of the most famous cities in the Netherworld.

bù kuì shì yīn sī dì fǔ zuì wèi zhù míng de jù chéng zhī yī 。

不愧是阴司地府最为著名的巨城之一。

The entire city exuded grandeur and might, like a savage ancient beast coiled there.

zhěng zuò chéng chí sàn fà chū wēi é páng bó zhī qì ， jiù fǎng fú yī tóu mán huāng gǔ shòu ， pán huán zài nà lǐ 。

整座城池散发出巍峨磅礴之气，就仿佛一头蛮荒古兽，盘桓在那里。

On the walls, every dozen or so meters, one could see armored warriors standing guard.

ér zài chéng qiáng zhī shàng ， měi gé shí yú zhàng de jù lí ， jiù kě yǐ kàn jiàn yī pī jiān zhí ruì de jiǎ shì 。

而在城墙之上，每隔十余丈的距离，就可以看见一披坚执锐的甲士。

Fully covered by heavy armor, their faces were hidden, only their glowing eyes visible. Their cultivation levels were mediocre at best; most were mere凝聚丹级别的阴魂鬼物。

hún shēn shàng xià ， bāo guǒ zhe hòu zhòng de kǎi jiǎ ， lián miàn mù dōu bèi zhē zhù ， zhǐ yǒu yī shǎn shǎn fā guāng de móu zi lù chū ， xiū wèi yě sū fá kě chén zhī chù ， dà bù fèn dōu bù guò shì níng dān jí bié de yīn hún guǐ wù 。

浑身上下，包裹着厚重的铠甲，连面目都被遮住，只有一闪闪发光的眸子露出，修为也苏乏可陈之处，大部分都不过是凝丹级别的阴魂鬼物。

但这已经足够了。

dàn zhè yǐ jīng zú gòu le 。

但这已经足够了。

这些甲士的作用只是警戒巡逻，真有外敌到来自然也有高阶修士出手对付。

zhè xiē jiǎ shì qǐ de ， lái jiù zhǐ shì jǐng jiè xún luó de xiào guǒ ， zhēn yǒu wài dí lái dào cǐ chù ， zì rán yě yǒu gāo jiē xiū shì chū shǒu duì fù 。

这些甲士起的，来就只是警戒巡逻的效果，真有外敌来到此处，自然也有高阶修士出手对付。

黑石城气势不凡，表面雕刻的花纹繁复，显然是阵法师的作品。不过以林轩的眼界，也不会露出惊讶之色。更为巍峨的城市他也见过，而每一座城市自然都会有防护禁制。

hēi shí chéng qì pài bù sú ， biǎo miàn lòu kè de yī xiē huā wén gèng shì fán fù ， xiǎn rán ， shì zhèn fǎ shī de jié zuò ， bù guò yǐ lín xuān jiàn shí zhī guǎng ， yě bú huì liú lù chū shén me chà yì zhī sè ， gèng wéi wēi é de chéng chí tā yě bú shì méi yǒu jiàn guò ， ér měi yī zuò chéng chí ， zì rán dū huì yǒu fáng hù jìn zhì 。

黑石城气派不俗，表面镂刻的一些花纹更是繁复，显然，是阵法师的杰作，不过以林轩见识之广，也不会流露出什么诧异之色，更为巍峨的城池他也不是没有见过，而每一座城池，自然都会有防护禁制。

这么大的城市入口众多，大大小小的城门不下千余处，听起来离谱，但修仙界的事务原本就不能用常理揣摩。

zhè me dà de chéng chí ， rù kǒu yě shì jí duō ， dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de chéng mén ， bù xià qiān yú chù ， tīng shàng qù lí pǔ ， bù guò xiū xiān jiè de shì qíng ， yuán jiù bù néng yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi mó 。

这么大的城池，入口也是极多，大大小小的城门，不下千余处，听上去离谱，不过修仙界的事情，原就不能用常理揣摩。

既然如此也就没什么好挑剔的了，林轩和杏儿随意选了一处地点降落，然后便飞向临近的城门。

jì rán rú cǐ ， yě jiù méi yǒu shén me hǎo tiāo tī de ， lín xuān hé xìng ér suí yì xuǎn le yī chù dì diǎn jiàng luò ， rán hòu biàn xiàng lín jìn de chéng mén fēi guò qù le 。

既然如此，也就没有什么好挑剔的，林轩和杏儿随意选了一处地点降落，然后便像临近的城门飞过去了。

这座城门高达百余丈，非常宽敞，可以同时容纳上千人通过。林轩与杏儿没有遇到任何阻碍，顺利来到了黑石城内。

cǐ chéng mén gāo bǎi yú zhàng ， fēi cháng kuān chǎng ， kě yǐ tóng shí róng nà qiān rén tōng guò ， lín xuān yǔ xìng ér méi yǒu yù jiàn sī háo zǔ gé ， shùn lì yǐ jí de biàn lái dào le hēi shí chéng zhōng 。

此城门高百余丈，非常宽敞，可以同时容纳千人通过，林轩与杏儿没有遇见丝毫阻隔，顺利以极的便来到了黑石城中。
