dàn jiē xià lái ， yuè ér de yī fān yán yǔ què ràng lín xuān ān xīn le xǔ duō 。
但接下来，月儿的一番言语却让林轩安心了许多。
But then, Mo'er's words reassured Lin Xuan significantly.
“ shào yé ， nǐ duō lǜ le ， xiū luó qī bǎo jì shì wǒ qián shì liú xià lái de ， suī fēn sàn yú gè chù ， dàn yòu zěn me kě néng yì diǎn gǎn yìng yě wú ， zhǐ shì zhè gǎn yìng ， tōng cháng huì yīn wèi jù lí tài yuǎn ér biàn dé ruò yǒu ruò wú ……”
“少爷，你多虑了，修罗七宝既是我前世留下来的，虽分散于各处，但又怎么可能一点感应也无，只是这感应，通常会因为距离太远而变得若有若无……”
"Young Master, you're overthinking it. The Seven Treasures of Nirvana are from my past life and scattered everywhere. But how could there be no trace of their presence? It's just that the connection is usually faint due to the distance."
“ nǐ shì shuō ， yí dàn jiē jìn bǎo wù ， nǐ jiù néng gòu qīng xī de gǎn yìng dào tā me ？”
“你是说，一旦接近宝物，你就能够清晰的感应到它么？”
"Do you mean that once we get closer, I can sense them clearly?"
lín xuān ruò yǒu suǒ wù de huí guò tóu ， mǎn liǎn jīng xǐ de shuō 。
林轩若有所悟的回过头，满脸惊喜的说。
Lin Xuan turned his head with a dawning realization, his face filled with excitement.
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
"Exactly," Mo'er nodded.
yuè ér diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
月儿点了点头。
"That's great!"
“ nà tài hǎo le ！”
“那太好了！”
Overjoyed, Lin Xuan hugged Mo'er and kissed her. "You little girl, why didn't you say this earlier?"
lín xuān kuáng xǐ zhī xià ， bào zhe yuè ér qīn le yí gè ：“ nǐ zhè yā tou ， zěn me bù zǎo diǎn shuō 。”
林轩狂喜之下，抱着月儿亲了一个：“你这丫头，怎么不早点说。”
"You never asked me."
“ shào yé ， nǐ yòu méi wèn wǒ 。”
“少爷，你又没问我。”
Mo'er blushed.
yuè ér liǎn hóng hóng de 。
月儿脸红红的。
"Well then, it’s my mistake."
“ hǎo ba ， suàn wǒ de cuò 。”
“好吧，算我的错。”
Of course, Lin Xuan wouldn’t really argue with a girl over such matters. He was in high spirits now. With the heart connection between Mo'er and the treasures, finding them would be much easier. At least, he wouldn't feel like a headless fly anymore.
lín xuān dāng rán bú huì zhēn yǔ nǚ hái zi jiào zhēn shén me ， ér qiě tā xiàn zài xīn qíng hěn bú cuò ， yuè ér yǔ bǎo wù zhī jiān jì rán cún zài xīn shén lián xì ， nà xún zhǎo qǐ lái ， jiù huì shì bàn gōng bèi xǔ duō ， zhì shǎo ， bú huì xiàng yǎn qián yī yàng ， rú méi tóu cāng yíng le 。
林轩当然不会真与女孩子较真什么，而且他现在心情很不错，月儿与宝物之间既然存在心神联系，那寻找起来，就会事半功倍许多，至少，不会像眼前一样，如没头苍蝇了。
"Good Mo'er, can you sense where these treasures are roughly located?"
“ hǎo yuè ér ， nǐ néng bù néng gǎn yìng yī xià ， nà bǎo wù de dà gài fāng wèi zài hé chù ？”
“好月儿，你能不能感应一下，那宝物的大概方位在何处？”
"It...,"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Mo'er hesitated slightly; it was quite a challenge. But she always agreed to her young master's suggestions. So she decided to give it a try no matter how difficult it might be.
yuè ér liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chí yí ， tài miǎn wéi qí nán le xiē ， bù guò shào yé de tí yì ， tā xiàng lái shì bú huì jù jué dì 。
月儿脸上露出一丝迟疑，太勉为其难了些，不过少爷的提议，她向来是不会拒绝地。
The little girl closed her eyes and extended her divine sense outward, while waving her hands and mumbling some mysterious incantations.
suǒ yǐ yě jiù dǎ dìng zhǔ yì ， zài nán yě yào yī shì 。
所以也就打定主意，再难也要一试。
...
xiǎo yā tou míng móu hào chǐ ， qīng qīng de bì shàng shuāng mù ， jiāng shén shí cháo zhe sì zhōu yán zhǎn ér chū ， tóng shí shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， zuǐ zhōng yǐn yǐn hái yǒu shén mì de zhòu yǔ tǔ chū 。
小丫头明眸皓齿，轻轻的闭上双目，将神识朝着四周延展而出，同时双手挥舞，嘴中隐隐还有神秘的咒语吐出。
This wasn't ordinary divine sensing; it also required the cooperation of her bloodline power within her body. Only then would she have a chance to connect with the desired treasures.
……
……
Lin Xuan couldn’t help much but stay by her side, waiting without disturbing her.
zhè bù tóng yú pǔ tōng de shén shí tàn cè ， tóng shí hái yào tǐ nèi de xuè mài zhī lì xiāng pèi hé ， rú cǐ cái yǒu jī huì lián xì dào xiǎng yào xún zhǎo de bǎo wù 。
这不同于普通的神识探测，同时还要体内的血脉之力相配合，如此才有机会联系到想要寻找的宝物。
After nearly an hour, Mo'er slowly raised her head.
lín xuān yě wú fǎ chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， wéi yī néng zuò de ， jiù shì zài páng biān shǒu hòu ， bú yào ràng rén dǎ rǎo xiǎo yā tou 。
林轩也无法出手相助，唯一能做的，就是在旁边守候，不要让人打扰小丫头。
Her forehead was covered in sweat. Don't underestimate that search; it was quite draining.
zú zú guò qù le yī zhù xiāng de gōng fu ， yuè ér cái huǎn huǎn de tái qǐ tóu lú 。
足足过去了一炷香的功夫，月儿才缓缓的抬起头颅。
Lin Xuan gently wiped away her sweat and asked, "Tired? Any discoveries?"
é tóu shàng mǎn shì jīng yíng de hàn zhū ， bié xiǎo kàn gāng cái de sōu suǒ 。 kě yě shì hěn xiāo hào jīng shén de 。
额头上满是晶莹的汗珠，别小看刚才的搜索。可也是很消耗精神的。
"Not too bad."
lín xuān lián xī de bāng tā cā qù hàn zhū ， cái wèn ：“ lèi bù lèi ， kě yǒu shén me fā xiàn me ？”
林轩怜惜的帮她擦去汗珠，才问：“累不累，可有什么发现么？”
Mo'er leaned into Lin Xuan's embrace, feeling very happy. "Too far away to pinpoint exactly, but if I'm not mistaken, the treasures should be in the southeast direction."
“ hái hǎo 。”
“还好。”
"Southeast...,"
yuè ér qīng yǐ zài lín xuān huái zhōng ， gǎn jué hěn xìng fú ：“ jù lí tài yuǎn le ， wǒ yě shuō bù tài qīng chǔ ， dàn ruò shì méi yǒu nòng cuò ， nà bǎo wù ， yīng gāi zài dōng nán fāng xiàng de 。”
月儿轻倚在林轩怀中，感觉很幸福：“距离太远了，我也说不太清楚，但若是没有弄错，那宝物，应该在东南方向的。”
Lin Xuan was already satisfied with this result. Knowing the general location would save him a lot of trouble. Contentment is precious; Lin Xuan didn’t expect to find the treasure right away.
“ dōng nán fāng xiàng me ……”
“东南方向么……”
This treasure hunt might have some twists and turns, but it would be fine as long as they took their time.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， lín xuān yǐ jīng hěn mǎn zú 。
这样的结果，林轩已经很满足。
"Let's go!"
zhī dào le dà tǐ fāng wèi ， yǐ néng ràng tā shěng shì xǔ duō 。 rén guì zhī zú ， lín xuān kě méi xiǎng guò yī xià zi jiù néng zhǎo dào bǎo wù 。
知道了大体方位，已能让他省事许多。人贵知足，林轩可没想过一下子就能找到宝物。
Lin Xuan enveloped Mo'er in a burst of green light and flew towards the southeast horizon. His speed was incredible; soon he vanished without a trace.
zhè xún bǎo me ， duō shǎo zǒng huì yǒu yī xiē bō zhé ， màn màn lái ， jiù hǎo le 。
这寻宝么，多少总会有一些波折，慢慢来，就好了。
On the ground, only some powder from the stone puppets remained.
“ zǒu ！”
“走！”
About half an hour later, two streaks of black and white lights suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà zuò ， jiāng yuè ér yī guǒ ， xiàng dōng nán fāng xiàng de tiān biān fēi qù le 。
林轩浑身青芒大做，将月儿一裹，像东南方向的天边飞去了。
The lights dimmed, revealing two figures.
tā de dùn guāng hé děng xùn sù ， hěn kuài ， jiù zōng yǐng quán wú 。
他的遁光何等迅速，很快，就踪影全无。
The woman on the left wore a white robe and had a handsome, beautiful face. The man on the right was hidden in shadows; his features were somewhat blurry, giving off a sense of lifelessness.
dì shàng 。 jǐn shèng xià yī xiē shí kuǐ lěi de fěn mò 。
地上。仅剩下一些石傀儡的粉末。
Both their gazes were drawn to the powder from the stone puppets on the ground.
yòu guò le dà yuē yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， yī hēi yì bǎi liǎng dào dùn guāng háo wú zhēng zhào de chū xiàn yú cǐ chù 。
又过了大约一盏茶的功夫，一黑一百两道遁光毫无征兆的出现于此处。
The man even bent down and picked up a handful, sniffing it.
guāng huá shōu liǎn ， xiàn chū le liǎng gè rén de róng yán 。
光华收敛，现出了两个人的容颜。
"How is it? Fangzhui, did you find anything?"
zuǒ biān de nǚ zǐ shēn chuān bái yī ， róng yán jùn qiào měi lì 。
左边的女子身穿白衣，容颜俊俏美丽。
"Grandfather was right; there are intruders."
yòu biān de nán zi zé cáng zài yīn yǐng lǐ 。 wǔ guān dōu yǒu xiē mó hú ， zhěng gè rén gěi rén yī zhǒng sǐ qì chén chén de gǎn chù 。
右边的男子则藏在阴影里。五官都有些模糊，整个人给人一种死气沉沉的感触。
"Of course," said the woman impatiently. "If they weren’t intruders, why would they have destroyed our stone puppet?"
liǎng rén de mù guāng ， tóng shí bèi dì shàng shí kuǐ lěi de fěn mò xī yǐn zhù le 。
两人的目光，同时被地上石傀儡的粉末吸引住了。
"I’m asking about their strength. Can we identify them?" the man replied.
nà nán zi shèn zhì wān yāo zhuā qǐ yī bǎ ， fàng zài bí duān chá kàn le yī xià 。
那男子甚至弯腰抓起一把，放在鼻端查看了一下。
"I don’t know their identity, but without a doubt, it’s someone at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Only those at that stage can reduce these stone puppets to powder in one strike. But I can't determine their exact level just from this," he said slowly.
“ rú hé 。 lì zhuǎ ， yǒu shén me fā xiàn ma ？”
“如何。利爪，有什么发现吗？”
Turning his head, he continued, "Now that we know the situation, let's go back and report to Grandfather."
“ lǎo zǔ suǒ yán méi cuò ， guǒ rán yǒu chuǎng rù zhě 。”
“老祖所言没错，果然有闯入者。”
"Why do we need you two for that?" Fangzhui’s voice sounded dismissive.
“ fèi huà 。 ruò bú shì chuǎng rù zhě ， yòu zěn me huì jiāng běn zú de shí xiàng kuǐ lěi dǎ chéng fěn mò 。” nà nǚ zǐ yǒu xiē bù nài fán de shuō ：“ wǒ shì wèn nǐ nà rén de shí lì rú hé ， néng gòu biàn shí shēn fèn me ？”
“废话。若不是闯入者，又怎么会将本族的石像傀儡打成粉末。”那女子有些不耐烦的说：“我是问你那人的实力如何，能够辨识身份么？”
"Are you saying..."
“ shēn fèn bù xiǎo de ， dàn háo wú yí wèn shì dù jié qī ， yě zhǐ yǒu dù jié qī de xiū xiān zhě ， cái néng yī zhāo zhī jiān jiù jiāng zhè shí xiàng kuǐ lěi dǎ chéng fěn mò ， bù guò duì fāng jù tǐ jìng jiè rú hé ， jǐn píng zhè xiē què wú fǎ biàn rèn de 。” nán zi huǎn huǎn de shuō 。
“身份不晓得，但毫无疑问是渡劫期，也只有渡劫期的修仙者，才能一招之间就将这石像傀儡打成粉末，不过对方具体境界如何，仅凭这些却无法辨认的。”男子缓缓的说。
"Just a few intruders. With us two, why should we retreat? We can kill them and our grandfather will surely reward us generously," Fangzhui said confidently.
suí hòu zhuǎn guò tóu lú ：“ xiàn zài qíng kuàng yǐ jīng chá qīng chǔ ， wǒ men zhè jiù huí qù ， tōng zhī lǎo zǔ 。”
随后转过头颅：“现在情况已经查清楚，我们这就回去，通知老祖。”
"Hmph, this is where the true spirits are buried. Ordinary cultivators don't easily enter here; there can’t be many of them. And you haven’t clarified their exact level yet. How do you plan to report back to Grandfather? If they’re at a later stage, we’ll handle it as circumstances dictate."
“ xiàng lǎo zǔ fù mìng ， nà hái yào wǒ men zuò shén me ？” nà jiào fēi yá de nǚ zǐ bù yǐ wéi rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“像老祖复命，那还要我们做什么？”那叫飞牙的女子不以为然的声音传入耳朵。
"Alright!"
“ nǐ shì shuō ……”
“你是说……”
The black-robed man frowned but eventually nodded.
“ bù guò shì qū qū yí gè chuǎng rù zhě ， píng wǒ men liǎng gè nán dào hái yòng tuì suō ， shàng qián jiāng tā zǎi le ， lǎo zǔ bì huì hòu hòu shǎng cì wǒ děng de 。”
“不过是区区一个闯入者，凭我们两个难道还用退缩，上前将他宰了，老祖必会厚厚赏赐我等的。”
He waved his sleeve and produced a sound transmission talisman that transformed into a fiery dragon flying towards the horizon.
“ fēi yá ， zhè me zuò tài mào xiǎn le ， hái bù zhī dào duì fāng jìng jiè rú hé ， yǒu méi yǒu bāng shǒu ， ruò zhǐ shì yī míng dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， wǒ men zì rán bù jù ， dàn jiǎ rú shì hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， ér qiě hái yǒu bāng shǒu ne ？”
“飞牙，这么做太冒险了，还不知道对方境界如何，有没有帮手，若只是一名渡劫初期的修仙者，我们自然不惧，但假如是后期的老怪物，而且还有帮手呢？”
Regardless of what happens, reporting this situation to our grandfather is the best choice. Then he flashed away, merging with the air.
hēi yī nán zi jué de bù tuǒ ， tā de xìng gé ， yào wěn zhòng xǔ duō 。
黑衣男子觉得不妥，他的性格，要稳重许多。
...
“ hēng ， zhè lǐ shì zhēn líng mái gǔ zhī suǒ ， xún cháng xiū shì nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì jìn lái de ， rén shù jué bù kě néng tài duō ， zhì yú duì fāng jù tǐ jìng jiè rú hé ， nǐ yě zhī dào méi yǒu chá qīng chǔ ， yòu zěn me huí qù fù mìng yú lǎo zǔ ， duì fāng ruò zhēn shì hòu qī xiū xiān zhě ， wǒ men jiàn jī xíng shì yě jiù shì le 。”
“哼，这里是真灵埋骨之所，寻常修士哪儿有那么容易进来的，人数绝不可能太多，至于对方具体境界如何，你也知道没有查清楚，又怎么回去复命于老祖，对方若真是后期修仙者，我们见机行事也就是了。”
Lin Xuan was unaware of all this. He and Mo'er were happily traveling in the direction they had determined. Knowing the general location boosted Lin Xuan's confidence for this treasure hunt.
“ hǎo ba ！”
“好吧！”
He also wanted to explore what made the true spirit burial grounds unique and see if there were any benefits to be gained.
hēi yī nán zi méi tou yí zhòu ， dàn zuì zhōng hái shì diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
黑衣男子眉头一皱，但最终还是点了点头。
But his journey proved fruitless. With their considerable strength, Lin Xuan and Mo'er had already traversed countless mountains and rivers. However, they didn’t find even a trace of the true spirits or their remains.
zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī shuǎi ， què shì jiāng yī zhāng chuán yīn fú fàng le chū lái ， huà wèi yī dào huǒ lóng fēi xiàng tiān biān 。
只见他袖袍一甩，却是将一张传音符放了出来，化为一道火龙飞向天边。
If not for repeatedly comparing the treasure map, Lin Xuan would have seriously doubted if he was on the right path.
bù guǎn rú hé ， xiān jiāng zhè lǐ de qíng kuàng huí fù yú lǎo zǔ ， zhè shì liǎng quán qí měi de xuǎn zé 。
不管如何，先将这里的情况回复于老祖，这是两全其美的选择。
But apart from that, the scenery here was breathtakingly beautiful, with abundant spiritual energy and rare medicinal herbs. Along the way, Lin Xuan made many guesses about what treasures might be found.
suí hòu shēn xíng yī shǎn ， shuāng shuāng róng rù le kōng qì lǐ miàn 。
随后身形一闪，双双融入了空气里面。
Additionally, he noticed something unusual: ordinary demons were common in this mysterious space.
……
……
However, it was strange that no matter their strength, none of these demons could transform into human form. This wasn’t too surprising since Lin Xuan had encountered similar situations in the Spirit Realm.
ér zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de ， cǐ shí tā yǔ yuè ér zhèng kāi kāi xīn xīn de gǎn lù ， zhī dào le dà tǐ fāng xiàng ， ràng lín xuān duì yú cǐ cì xún bǎo xìn xīn shí zú 。
而这一切，林轩并不晓得，此时他与月儿正开开心心的赶路，知道了大体方向，让林轩对于此次寻宝信心十足。
But being unable to even open their minds was puzzling.
tóng shí tā yě xiǎng tàn xún yī xià ， zhēn líng mái gǔ zhī dì ， jiū jìng yǒu shén me yǔ zhòng bù tóng zhī chù ， shùn biàn kàn néng fǒu dé dào shén me hǎo chù 。
同时他也想探寻一下，真灵埋骨之地，究竟有什么与众不同之处，顺便看能否得到什么好处。
Thinking about it, Lin Xuan had just met several Core Profound-level demons; they were already quite powerful, but their behavior remained that of ordinary low-grade beasts.
rù bǎo shān kōng shǒu ér guī zhè yàng de chǔn shì ， tā kě bù huì qù zuò 。
入宝山空手而归这样的蠢事，他可不会去做。
Why?
rán ér yī lù shàng ， lín xuān shī wàng le 。
然而一路上，林轩失望了。
Lin Xuan was utterly perplexed.
tā yǔ yuè ér shí lì bù sú ， yī liǎng rén de dùn sù ， zǎo yǐ fēi yuè le qiān shān wàn shuǐ ， rán ér bié shuō zhēn líng yí gǔ le ， lián zhēn líng yí liú xià lái de hén jì dōu méi yǒu fā xiàn guò 。
他与月儿实力不俗，依两人的遁速，早已飞跃了千山万水，然而别说真灵遗骨了，连真灵遗留下来的痕迹都没有发现过。
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed in his ears.
ruò bú shì zài sān duì zhào cáng bǎo tú ， lín xuān zhēn yào huái yí ， zì jǐ shì bú shì zǒu cuò 。
若不是再三对照藏宝图，林轩真要怀疑，自己是不是走错。
Lin Xuan turned his head and showed concern on his face.
dàn chú cǐ yǐ wài ， zhè ér de fēng jǐng dǎo shì yōu měi dào le jí diǎn ， líng qì chōng yù ， yě duō qí zhēn shān yào ， lín xuān yī lù shàng jiù cāi le bù shǎo 。
但除此以外，这儿的风景倒是优美到了极点，灵气充裕，也多奇珍山药，林轩一路上就猜了不少。
There’s a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage here; is it a true spirit, a demon, or something else...
tóng shí ， tā hái fā xiàn le yī yǔ zhòng bù tóng zhī chù ， jiù shì zài zhè shén mì kōng jiān lǐ ， bù quē pǔ tōng de yāo zú 。
同时，他还发现了一与众不同之处，就是在这神秘空间里，不缺普通的妖族。
He didn’t know, but he wouldn’t hesitate to investigate.
dàn gǔ guài de shì ， zhè xiē yāo zú bù lùn shí lì rú hé ， dōu bù néng huàn huà chéng rén xíng ， zhè yě jiù bà le ， bì jìng zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng lín xuān zài líng jiè yě yù dào guò 。
但古怪的是，这些妖族不论实力如何，都不能幻化成人形，这也就罢了，毕竟这种情况林轩在灵界也遇到过。
"Let's go!"
dàn lián líng zhì dōu wú fǎ kāi qǐ jiù ràng rén yǒu xiē chà yì 。
但连灵智都无法开启就让人有些诧异。
Lin Xuan changed course with Mo'er, flying towards the left side.
xiǎng xiǎng ， gāng cái lín xuān kě shì yù jiàn jǐ tóu dòng xuán jí bié de yāo zú ， píng xīn lái shuō ， shí lì yǐ suàn qiáng dà ， kě tā men xíng shì ， yī jiù yǔ pǔ tōng de dī jiē yāo shòu wú yì 。
想想，刚才林轩可是遇见几头洞玄级别的妖族，平心来说，实力已算强大，可它们行事，依旧与普通的低阶妖兽无异。

But then, Mo'er's words reassured Lin Xuan significantly.
"Young Master, you're overthinking it. The Seven Treasures of Nirvana are from my past life and scattered everywhere. But how could there be no trace of their presence? It's just that the connection is usually faint due to the distance."
"Do you mean that once we get closer, I can sense them clearly?"
Lin Xuan turned his head with a dawning realization, his face filled with excitement.
"Exactly," Mo'er nodded.
"That's great!"
Overjoyed, Lin Xuan hugged Mo'er and kissed her. "You little girl, why didn't you say this earlier?"
"You never asked me."
Mo'er blushed.
"Well then, it’s my mistake."
Of course, Lin Xuan wouldn’t really argue with a girl over such matters. He was in high spirits now. With the heart connection between Mo'er and the treasures, finding them would be much easier. At least, he wouldn't feel like a headless fly anymore.

Lin Xuan enveloped Mo'er in a burst of green light and flew towards the southeast horizon. His speed was incredible; soon he vanished without a trace.
On the ground, only some powder from the stone puppets remained.
About half an hour later, two streaks of black and white lights suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
