第三千七百三十一章 时光之石

sì jì biàn huàn ， què jǐn jǐn chū xiàn zài yī shùn jiān 。

四季变换，却仅仅出现在一瞬间。

The seasons changed in an instant, yet it was just a momentary occurrence.

xiū xiān jiè suī guāng guài lù lí ， gè zhǒng qí zhēn yì bǎo shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， dàn yǎn qián de yí mù ， lín xuān què yě shì wén suǒ wèi wén de 。

修仙界虽光怪陆离，各种奇珍异宝数不胜数，但眼前的一幕，林轩却也是闻所未闻的。

Though the cultivation world was filled with wonders and strange treasures beyond count, Lin Xuan had never heard of anything like what he saw before. A look of surprise appeared on his face.

liǎn shàng liú lù chū yà rán zhī sè 。

脸上流露出讶然之色。

With his keen eyesight, though he couldn't be certain about the exact nature of this treasure, he could guess that it was no ordinary item.

yǐ tā de yǎn lì ， suī rán wú fǎ què dìng yǎn qián de jiū jìng shì shén me bǎo wù ， dàn cāi yě cāi dé dào ， fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。

以他的眼力，虽然无法确定眼前的究竟是什么宝物，但猜也猜得到，非同小可。

"Time Stone."

“ shí guāng zhī shí 。”

“时光之石。”

Just then, a delicate and excited voice rang in his ears. Lin Xuan turned to see Xiaodie's face filled with joy.

ér qià zài cǐ kè ， ěr biān chuán lái yī shēng jiāo qiào de jīng hū ， lín xuān suí zhī huí guò tóu lú ， jiù jiàn xiǎo dié de liǎn shàng ， mǎn shì yī fù xǐ yuè nán jìn de shén sè 。

而恰在此刻，耳边传来一声娇俏的惊呼，林轩随之回过头颅，就见小蝶的脸上，满是一副喜悦难禁的神色。

"How so? Do you recognize this?"

“ zěn me ， nǐ rèn shí cǐ wù ？”

“怎么，你认识此物？”

"Brother Lin, have you never heard of the Three Treasures of Time?"

“ lín xiōng ， nǐ jū rán méi yǒu tīng shuō guò shí guāng sān bǎo me ？”

“林兄，你居然没有听说过时光三宝么？”

Xiaodie turned back, surprised. In her mind, Lin Xuan was known for his vast knowledge and talents; how could he not know about such famous treasures?

xiǎo dié yà rán huí guò tóu lú ， zài tā de yìn xiàng zhōng ， lín xuān kě shì hěn bó xué duō cái de ， zěn me huì lián dà míng dǐng dǐng de shí guāng sān bǎo ， dōu bù céng tīng shuō guò 。

小蝶讶然回过头颅，在她的印象中，林轩可是很博学多才的，怎么会连大名鼎鼎的时光三宝，都不曾听说过。

Hearing this, a hint of red appeared on Lin Xuan's face. He was indeed well-versed, but there were limits to what one could hear. So the Three Treasures of Time were new to him: "Please enlighten me."

tīng duì fāng zhè yàng shuō ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yī hóng ， suǒ wèi bǎi mì yī shū ， tā shì hěn bó xué méi cuò ， dàn yě bú shì shén me bǎo wù ， dōu yǒu jī huì ěr wén de 。

听对方这样说，林轩脸上一红，所谓百密一疏，他是很博学没错，但也不是什么宝物，都有机会耳闻的。

"The Three Treasures of Time refer to three items needed to comprehend the laws of time—Time Stone, Time Tree, and Time Scroll. These are all extraordinary creations of nature, ingeniously crafted," Xiaodie explained in a soft voice.

suǒ yǐ zhè shí guāng sān bǎo ， hái shì dì yī cì tīng shuō ：“ hái qǐng xiǎo dié jiě huò 。”

所以这时光三宝，还是第一次听说：“还请小蝶解惑。”

"Of course, one doesn't necessarily need these three treasures to understand the laws of time; any one would suffice. Their effects... well, you know how the Three Divine Fruits of the cultivation world aid domain comprehension. The Law of Time is known for its complexity and subtlety, making it incredibly difficult to comprehend without these aids."

“ suǒ wèi shí guāng sān bǎo ， shì zhǐ cān wù shí jiān fǎ zé ， suǒ xū yào yòng dào de sān jiàn bǎo wù ， fēn bié shì shí guāng zhī shí ， shí guāng zhī shù ， hái yǒu shí guāng zhī tú ， zhè xiē dōu shì duó tiān dì zhī zào huà de dōng xī ， qiǎo miào wú bǐ 。”

“所谓时光三宝，是指参悟时间法则，所需要用到的三件宝物，分别是时光之石，时光之树，还有时光之图，这些都是夺天地之造化的东西，巧妙无比。”

"The power of the Law of Time is formidable. It ranks among the top three in many natural laws. Thus, even though the Three Treasures of Time are not as valuable as the Three Divine Fruits, their worth isn't far off," Xiaodie continued.

“ dāng rán ， xiǎng yào cān wù shí jiān fǎ zé ， bìng bú shì shuō yí dìng yào yòng dào zhè sān jiàn bǎo wù ， yǒu qí zhōng yī yàng jiù kě yǐ le ， qí zuò yòng …… zěn me shuō ne ？”

“当然，想要参悟时间法则，并不是说一定要用到这三件宝物，有其中一样就可以了，其作用……怎么说呢？”

Her voice was soothing and clear, explaining everything in detail for her young master's benefit. In a few words, she made it clear why these treasures were so important.

“ ń ， jiù fǎng fú xiū xiān jiè sān dà shén guǒ ， duì yú lǐng yù cān wù ， suǒ néng qǐ dào de xiào guǒ ， shào yé nǐ yě xiǎo de ， zài zhū duō tiān dì fǎ zé zhōng ， shí guāng fǎ zé xiàng lái shì yǐ ào miào fán fù zhù chēng de ， píng kōng cān wù ， shí zài shì yǒu tài dà de nán dù 。”

“嗯，就仿佛修仙界三大神果，对于领域参悟，所能起到的效果，少爷你也晓得，在诸多天地法则中，时光法则向来是以奥妙繁复著称的，凭空参悟，实在是有太大的难度。”

"Ah, I see."

“ ér shí guāng fǎ zé de wēi lì 。 jiù bù yòng wǒ lèi shù ， zài zhū duō tiān dì fǎ zé zhōng ， zú kě yǐ qīng sōng pái jìn qián sān zhī liè de ， suǒ yǐ zhè shí guāng sān bǎo ， lùn jià zhí ， suī rán hái bǐ bù shàng xiū xiān jiè sān dà shén guǒ ， dàn qí shí yě bú huì xiāng chà tài duō 。”

“而时光法则的威力。就不用我累述，在诸多天地法则中，足可以轻松排进前三之列的，所以这时光三宝，论价值，虽然还比不上修仙界三大神果，但其实也不会相差太多。”

Lin Xuan nodded, understanding. The Heavenly Demon King might be formidable, but he didn't seem to possess the Three Treasures of Time. However, with this treasure, Xiaodie had an eighty percent chance of comprehending the laws of time.

yuè ěr dòng tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 rán ér zhè yī cì kāi kǒu de què bú shì huàn yuè é ， ér shì yī páng de yuè ér zài tì lín xuān jiě huò ， xiǎo yā tou duì shào yé ， dāng rán bú huì yǒu rèn hé bù nài fán de ， gù ér mì mì xì yǔ ， jiě shuō dé fēi cháng xiáng xì 。

悦耳动听的声音传入耳朵。然而这一次开口的却不是幻月蛾，而是一旁的月儿在替林轩解惑，小丫头对少爷，当然不会有任何不耐烦的，故而密密细语，解说得非常详细。

With a flawed peach fruit and a Time Treasure, along with True Demon Art, his goals for attending the Peach Blossom Banquet were almost fully achieved. Lin Xuan hadn't expected such good luck before coming here.

liáo liáo shù yǔ ， biàn shuō qīng chǔ le shí guāng sān bǎo de zhòng yào xìng yǔ lái lì 。

寥寥数语，便说清楚了时光三宝的重要性与来历。

"Xiaodie, what are you thinking? Quickly put away this treasure."

“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”

“原来如此。”

Though the Time Stone was useful to him as well, it wasn't urgent now. Lin Xuan's principle was to keep his promises, so he naturally handed over the treasure to Xiaodie.

lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū liǎo rán zhī sè ， dōu shuō tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu 。 xiǎo dié de shí lì yuán běn yǐ yuǎn shèng tóng jiē xiū shì xǔ duō ， ér shēn wèi huàn yuè é ， yòu shì yīn wèi tūn shì le dà liàng yù luó fēng cái jìn jí de 。

林轩脸上露出了然之色，都说踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫。小蝶的实力原本已远胜同阶修士许多，而身为幻月蛾，又是因为吞噬了大量玉罗蜂才晋级的。

"You're welcome, Brother Lin."

qí duì yú shí jiān zhī lì de lǐng wù ， yuán běn jiù shì shì bàn ér gōng bèi de 。

其对于时间之力的领悟，原本就是事半而功倍的。

Xiaodie curtsied gracefully and gently raised her hand. The Time Stone flew up silently towards her palm with a swift motion.

ruò shì cān xiáng tòu chè ， shí lì fēi hái yǒu yí gè zhì dì tí shēng bù kě 。

若是参详透彻，实力非还有一个质的提升不可。

But just then, something unexpected happened.

rán ér dào lǐ shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， zhēn cān wù qǐ lái 。 cái zhī dào zhè shí zài shì tài nán le 。

然而道理是这样没错，真参悟起来。才知道这实在是太难了。

BOOM!

qí shí yào shuō jiǎn dān de shí jiān fǎ zé ， lín xuān duō duō shǎo shǎo yě yǒu yì diǎn tǐ wù ， dàn zhī pí máo yǔ líng huó yùn yòng 。 shí zài shì yǒu tài dà de chā jù le 。

其实要说简单的时间法则，林轩多多少少也有一点体悟，但知皮毛与灵活运用。实在是有太大的差距了。

A loud noise echoed in their ears as the sky above was suddenly torn apart. A large gap appeared, stretching several meters long. Two dark figures fell like meteorites, crashing into the ground.

suǒ yǐ zhè cái lái pán táo huì ， lín xuān chú le xún zhǎo zì jǐ xū yào de dōng xī ， xiǎo dié yuán běn yě shì yǒu mù biāo dì 。

所以这才来蟠桃会，林轩除了寻找自己需要的东西，小蝶原本也是有目标地。

Despite the suddenness of it all, Lin Xuan and Xiaodie were still taken aback.

jiù shì kàn néng fǒu xún mì yī xiē bǎo wù ， duì yú zì jǐ cān xiáng shí jiān zhī lì néng yǒu bāng zhù 。

就是看能否寻觅一些宝物，对于自己参详时间之力能有帮助。

BOOM!

yào zhī dào chú le shí guāng sān bǎo ， lìng wài yī xiē tiān dì qí wù ， duì yú shí jiān zhī lì de lǐng wù ， yì duō duō shǎo shǎo huì yǒu yī xiē bāng zhù 。

要知道除了时光三宝，另外一些天地奇物，对于时间之力的领悟，亦多多少少会有一些帮助。

The ground crumbled under the impact, forming two deep pits filled with dust.

dāng rán lùn jià zhí ， jiù yuǎn yuǎn jí bù shàng shí guāng sān bǎo le 。

当然论价值，就远远及不上时光三宝了。

Though not bottomless, the dust was thick. Lin Xuan and the two girls exchanged glances as they tried to make sense of what happened.

dàn zhè sān jiàn bǎo wù tài guò zhēn xī ， jī hū kān bǐ xiū xiān jiè sān dà shén guǒ ， suǒ yǐ xiǎo dié yě méi xiǎng guò 。 zì jǐ yùn qì zhēn néng rú cǐ lí pǔ ， yuán běn de dǎ suàn shì ， xún zhǎo dào cì yī jí de bǎo wù 。 jiù yǐ jīng xīn mǎn yì zú 。

但这三件宝物太过珍稀，几乎堪比修仙界三大神果，所以小蝶也没想过。自己运气真能如此离谱，原本的打算是，寻找到次一级的宝物。就已经心满意足。

They could vaguely see two strange-looking demons. Their power was hard to determine, but it was clear that only powerful beings would be invited to the Peach Blossom Banquet—undoubtedly, Immortal Tribulation Stage experts.

yùn qì shí zài tài hǎo le 。

运气实在太好了。

"Xiaodie, quickly put away this treasure."

xiǎo dié yī liǎn de què yuè ， lín xuān yǔ yuè ér yě hǎo róng yì cái rěn zhù méi yǒu huān hū 。

小蝶一脸的雀跃，林轩与月儿也好容易才忍住没有欢呼。

Lin Xuan hurriedly transmitted his thoughts as he felt a wave of regret. He had been too careless; the space was created by an outsider from another realm. Now that he was gone, the spatial laws were slightly lagging, preventing the space from collapsing but leaving it with many flaws.

xǐ yuè lái de tài guò xùn sù ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， shì méi yǒu fèi yì diǎn diǎn de gōng fu 。

喜悦来得太过迅速，甚至可以说，是没有费一点点的工夫。

By chance, powerful beings outside might have entered. Lin Xuan wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to cause any trouble if unnecessary. However, if they saw the Time Stone, things would get complicated.

píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè tiān wài mó jūn ， shí lì suī rán yě yǒu bù fán zhī chù ， dàn zěn me kàn ， yě bù xiàng yōng yǒu shí guāng sān bǎo de 。

平心来说，这天外魔君，实力虽然也有不凡之处，但怎么看，也不像拥有时光三宝的。

Xiaodie understood and quickly put away the treasure, but it was too late.

dàn xiàn rú jīn ， cǐ wù de lái lì yǐ jīng bú zhòng yào le 。

但现如今，此物的来历已经不重要了。

BOOM!

yǒu le tā ， xiǎo dié duì yú cān wù shí jiān fǎ zé ， jiù yǒu le bā chéng yǐ shàng de bǎ wò 。

有了它，小蝶对于参悟时间法则，就有了八成以上的把握。

A buzzing sound filled their ears, accompanied by a loud laugh: "Time Stone! Haha, our luck is truly amazing. With this, even if we can't comprehend the laws of time, there's still a chance to trade for the Three Divine Fruits. You youngsters, quickly hand over this treasure and your storage bags; perhaps we might consider sparing you."
