具体有多少。我们现在也没有掌握确切的数字。但粗。应该有六七千之巨。”
Specifically, how many? We don't have an exact number, but roughly speaking, there should be thousands.
“ liù qī qiān ？” lín xuān mò bù yǔ 。 guài de 。 shù liàng shì zōng mén de sān shí bèi yǐ shàng 。 rú guǒ néng gòu jiāng tā men quán dōu zhěng hé qǐ lái 。 suǒ chǎn shēng de lì liàng què shí lìng rén guā mù xiāng kàn 。
“六七千？”林轩默不语。怪的。数量是宗门的三十倍以上。如果能够将他们全都整合起来。所产生的力量确实令人刮目相看。
"Thousands?" Lin Xuan remained silent. Strange. The quantity is more than thirty times that of the sect. If we could integrate them all, the strength would indeed be impressive enough to catch our attention.
“ zài lǎo móu shēn suàn fāng miàn 。 lìng shī què shí shì yī wèi tiān cái 。 hòu lái wǒ men cái fā xiàn 。 zǎo zài shù shí nián qián 。 tā jiù zài zhè fāng miàn bù zhì àn qí 。 bù zhǐ shì xiū xiān jiā zú 。 nà xiē sàn xiū zhōng zhù míng de gāo shǒu 。 yě liú yì lā lǒng 。 guì pài dà kāi fāng biàn zhī mén 。 wèi tóng dào liàn dān 。 qí shí jiù shì zài guǎng jié shàn yuán 。”
“在老谋深算方面。令师确实是一位天才。后来我们才发现。早在数十年前。他就在这方面布置暗棋。不止是修仙家族。那些散修中著名的高手。也留意拉拢。贵派大开方便之门。为同道炼丹。其实就是在广结善缘。”
"In terms of deep planning, Senior Master Lingyun truly is a genius. Later on, we discovered that he had been laying down hidden moves in this area even decades ago. Not only did he pay attention to cultivation families, but also famous experts among solitary practitioners. Your sect opened the door for fellow cultivators to refine pills, which was essentially broadening your network of allies."
lín xuān tīng dào zhè lǐ 。 yě yī zhèn wú yǔ 。 rú cǐ shuō lái 。 tōng yǔ zhēn rén de xīn jī 。 hái zhēn shì lìng rén pèi fú 。 zǐ xì huí xiǎng 。 dāng nián zì jǐ jīn dān níng chéng yǐ hòu 。 tā pài zì jǐ qù qīng yè shān 。 zhǔ yào mù dì yě bú shì wèi le nà xiē shàng gǔ kuàng cáng 。 ér shì chǎn chú liǔ jiā le 。 guài bù de yè jiā jiā zhǔ bèi miè yǐ hòu 。 fēng yǔ piāo yáo 。 tā jū rán háo bù yóu yù de pài lái yī wèi níng dān qī zhǎng lǎo 。 kàn lái shì xiǎng yào jiè cǐ 。 zhěng hé qīng yè shān xiū xiān jiā zú de shì lì 。
林轩听到这里。也一阵无语。如此说来。通羽真人的心机。还真是令人佩服。仔细回想。当年自己金丹凝成以后。他派自己去青叶山。主要目的也不是为了那些上古矿藏。而是铲除柳家了。怪不的叶家家主被灭以后。风雨飘摇。他居然毫不犹豫的派来一位凝丹期长老。看来是想要借此。整合青叶山修仙家族的势力。
Lin Xuan remained speechless after hearing this. Indeed, True Immortal Lingyun's scheming skills were truly admirable. Recalling that when he condensed his golden core, he sent him to Qingye Mountain mainly to eliminate the柳家 (Liu Family), not for those ancient mineral deposits. No wonder after the head of the Ye family was exterminated, the situation became unstable; he sent a Core Formation elder without hesitation. It seemed he wanted to use this opportunity to consolidate the power of the cultivation families in Qingye Mountain.
“ zǒng ér yán zhī 。 zài wǒ men yǔ mó dào shū hū dà yì de shí hòu 。 guì pài yǐ jīng chéng gōng jiāng yōu zhōu dà bù fèn de xiū xiān jiā zú 。 shōu qí xià 。 shí lì zhī qiáng 。 zú yǐ yǔ wǒ men dǐng zú ér lì 。”
“总而言之。在我们与魔道疏忽大意的时候。贵派已经成功将幽州大部分的修仙家族。收旗下。实力之强。足以与我们鼎足而立。”
"In summary, while we were careless, your sect has successfully integrated most of the cultivation families in Youzhou under its banner. The strength is formidable enough to stand on equal footing with us."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu 。| shàng què sī háo bú jiàn xǐ nù zhī sè ：“ nà xiān zi shuō le zhè me duō 。 shì xiǎng yào dá shén me 。 yǔ tài xū qián bèi de shāng shì 。 yòu yǒu hé guān xì ne ？”
“原来如此。”林轩点了点头。|上却丝毫不见喜怒之色：“那仙子说了这么多。是想要达什么。与太虚前辈的伤势。又有何关系呢？”
"Ah, I see." Lin Xuan nodded but showed no signs of joy or anger: "So what did the fairy say all this for? What's the connection between her words and Senior Master Taixiu's injuries?"
“ lín xiōng yòu hé bì míng zhī gù wèn 。 nán dào yǐ nǐ de cōng míng 。 hái huì cāi bù chū lái ？” ōu yáng qín xīn de liǎn shàng 。 lù chū yī fēn qī wǎn zhī sè ：“ ruò shì yǐ qián 。 yù jiàn zhè yàng de shì qíng 。 bǐ mén dì yí gè xiǎng dào de 。 què shí shì tōng yǔ zhēn rén qiú zhù kě rú jīn xíng shì miào guì pài de lì yǔ wǒ men xiāng dāng 。 lìng shī huì bú huì qǐ bié de xīn sī 。 wǒ men shí zài méi yǒu bǎ wò 。 zì rán yě bù gǎn mào zhè ge xiǎn le 。 bì jìng shī shū tā lǎo rén jiā nǎi shì bǐ mén de qíng tiān zhī zhù 。 ruò shì yǒu gè hǎo dǎi 。 guān xì wǒ bì yún shān qiān nián de yùn shù 。 zì rán bù de bù zhēn zhuó yī èr le 。”
“林兄又何必明知故问。难道以你的聪明。还会猜不出来？”欧阳琴心的脸上。露出一分凄婉之色：“若是以前。遇见这样的事情。鄙门第一个想到的。确实是通羽真人求助可如今形势妙贵派的力与我们相当。令师会不会起别的心思。我们实在没有把握。自然也不敢冒这个险了。毕竟师叔他老人家乃是鄙门的擎天之柱。若是有个好歹。关系我碧云山千年的运数。自然不的不斟酌一二了。”
"Why bother asking such a question, Brother Lin. Can't you guess?" A sorrowful expression appeared on Ouyang Qinxin's face. "In the past, if we encountered such matters, we would definitely think of seeking help from True Immortal Lingyun. But now that our strength is comparable, will your master have other intentions? We can't be sure, so naturally, we dare not take this risk. After all, Master Uncle is the pillar supporting our sect. If anything happens to him, it would affect the fate of Mount Bichun for a thousand years. Therefore, we must carefully consider his request."
lín xuān tīng wán 。 méi yǒu jiē ér shì yòng shǒu 。 zài zhuō shàng qīng qīng qiāo jī 。
林轩听完。没有接而是用手。在桌上轻轻敲击。
After hearing Ouyang Qinxin's words, Lin Xuan did not respond immediately but lightly tapped on the table with his hand.
píng xīn ér lùn 。 ōu yáng qín shuō de zhè fān huà suī shì zhū xīn zhī yǔ 。 dàn què shí shì shí qíng 。 bié shuō tā 。 biàn shì lín xuān 。 yě bù gǎn kěn dìng zhè zhǒng qíng xià 。 tōng yǔ zhēn rén fǒu huì gù quán dà jú 。
平心而论。欧阳琴说的这番话虽是诛心之语。但确实是实情。别说她。便是林轩。也不敢肯定这种情下。通羽真人否会顾全大局。
On one hand, Ouyang Qinxin's words were indeed heartfelt and true. Even if it was her, Lin Xuan couldn't be certain that True Immortal Lingyun would consider the bigger picture in this situation. While he could refuse to help by claiming he didn't want to risk his alchemy, what if he agreed but tampered with the pills? Given Ouyang Qinxin's reputation for alchemy, it might not be obvious.
tuī tuō bù yuàn liàn yào hái suàn shì hǎo le 。 pà pà tā dā yìng le 。 què zài liàn zhì líng dān shí zuò shàng shén me shǒu jiǎo 。 yǐ tōng yǔ zhēn liàn dān shù de zào yì 。 bì yún shān de rén gāi shì kàn bù chū lái de 。
推脱不愿炼药还算是好了。怕怕他答应了。却在炼制灵丹时做上什么手脚。以通羽真炼丹术的造诣。碧云山的人该是看不出来的。
"So you believe me?" Lin Xuan's lips curled slightly, as if in a non-smile.
“ nà xiān zi jiù xiāng xìn zài xià ？” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo wēi wēi shàng qiào 。 shì fēi xiào 。
“那仙子就相信在下？”林轩嘴角微微上翘。似非笑。
"According to propriety, I shouldn't trust the young master. After all, True Immortal Lingyun is your master, but I believe Brother Lin. If we are friends, you wouldn't lie to me," Ouyang Qinxin said frankly.
ōu yáng qín xīn liǎn shàng yī hóng yù shǒu jǐn wò dàn zuì hòu hái shì tàn le yì kǒu qì de zhí yán xiāng chén le ：“ àn lǐ shuō 。 qín xīn què shí bù gāi xiāng xìn shǎo mén zhǔ 。 bì jìng tōng yǔ | rén shì nǐ de shī fù dàn wǒ xiāng xìn lín xiōng 。 nǐ rán chéng rèn wǒ men shì yǒu 。 yīng gāi bú huì piàn wǒ de 。”
欧阳琴心脸上一红玉手紧握但最后还是叹了一口气的直言相陈了：“按理说。琴心确实不该相信少门主。毕竟通羽|人是你的师傅但我相信林兄。你然承认我们是友。应该不会骗我的。”
With her words reaching this point, Lin Xuan could not continue questioning. He frowned deeply and silently pondered while Ouyang Qinxin waited quietly by his side.
huà shuō dào zhè bān de bù 。 lín xuān dào yě bù hǎo jì xù zhuī wèn shén me 。 shuāng méi jǐn zhòu 。 mò mò sī suǒ 。 ōu yáng qín xīn yě bù dǎ rǎo tā xián jìng de zài yī páng děng zhe 。
话说到这般的步。林轩倒也不好继续追问什么。双眉紧皱。默默思索。欧阳琴心也不打扰他娴静的在一旁等着。
While he might owe a favor to Ouyang Qinxin, the benefits did not outweigh the costs in terms of reason. Therefore, Lin Xuan was unwilling to help for free.
yú qíng zì jǐ sì hū ōu yáng qín xīn yí gè máng 。 dàn yú lǐ méi yǒu zú gòu de hǎo chù 。 lín xuān hái shì bù yuàn yì chū shǒu 。
于情自己似乎欧阳琴心一个忙。但于理没有足够的好处。林轩还是不愿意出手。
It wasn't as if it were about helping a beautiful woman; it was about that old monster Taixiu. If there weren't enough benefits, he would be doing this for nothing?
yòu bú shì yǎn qián de jiā rén shòu shāng le 。 ér shì tài xū nà lǎo guài wù 。 méi yǒu zú gòu de hǎo chù 。 hēng 。 xiǎng ràng zì jǐ zuò bái gōng ？
又不是眼前的佳人受伤了。而是太虚那老怪物。没有足够的好处。哼。想让自己做白工？
"Please, Brother Lin, you must assist. Regarding Master Uncle's injury, only a few Core Formation cultivators in our sect know the details. For ordinary disciples, we have locked down information. If it gets out, not only will it affect our fate, but the balance might be disrupted, leading to more upheavals among major forces. The situation in Youzhou is already chaotic enough..."
“ hái qǐng lín xiōng yí dìng xiāng zhù 。 shī shū shòu shāng zhī shì 。 biàn shì běn mén 。 yě zhǐ yǒu shǎo shù níng dān qī xiū de zhī 。 duì yì bān de jiē dì zǐ 。 yě suǒ le xiāo xī 。 ruò shì chuán chū qù 。 bù zhǐ běn mén de qì shù 。 píng héng yí dàn bèi dǎ pò 。 shuō bù dìng jǐ dà shì lì zhī jiān 。 yòu huì héng shēng biàn gù 。 ér xiàn zài yōu zhōu de xíng shì yǐ jīng gòu luàn le ……”
“还请林兄一定相助。师叔受伤之事。便是本门。也只有少数凝丹期修的知。对一般的阶弟子。也锁了消息。若是传出去。不止本门的气数。平衡一旦被打破。说不定几大势力之间。又会横生变故。而现在幽州的形势已经够乱了……”
"Ah..." Lin Xuan was startled. He hadn't expected that the old monster at the婴期 (Incubation Stage) would take notice.
“ zhè ……” bú shì lín bù gù quán dà jú 。 shí zài shì nián qīng shí qiǎn 。 liàn dān shù yǒu xiàn 。 pà bù néng chéng gōng 。 fǎn ér jiāng tài qián bèi de shāng shì dān gē le 。
“这……”不是林不顾全大局。实在是年轻识浅。炼丹术有限。怕不能成功。反而将太前辈的伤势耽搁了。
It seemed those junior cultivators had informed him just now. However, Ouyang Qinxin had been with him all along and didn't leave even a bit. How did he guess his identity? This was indeed intriguing.
zhè duǎn duǎn de yī huì er 。 lín xuān yǐ jīng zuò xià jué dìng 。 bāng máng kě yǐ 。 dàn kěn dìng yào hǎo hǎo de qiāo shàng yī bǐ 。
这短短的一会儿。林轩已经做下决定。帮忙可以。但肯定要好好的敲上一笔。
"Since Senior Master calls you, it might not be possible to refuse," Lin Xuan smiled wryly.
tīng le lín xuān zhè huà 。 ōu yáng qín xīn bù yōu fǎn xǐ 。 duì fāng kǒu qì yǐ jīng sōng dòng le xiē 。 ér tā yě tīng chū le yī xiē duān ní 。 zhèng xiǎng kāi kǒu 。 tū rán guāng máng yī zhèn shǎn shuò 。 cóng wài miàn fēi jìn lái yī dào chuán yīn fú 。
听了林轩这话。欧阳琴心不忧反喜。对方口气已经松动了些。而她也听出了一些端倪。正想开口。突然光芒一阵闪烁。从外面飞进来一道传音符。
"You jest, Young Master. You are our guest of honor, and Qinxin regards you as a friend; I wouldn't dare deceive you in any way. Master Uncle's summons might bring you unexpected opportunities." Ouyang Qinxin smiled, hinting at something.
ōu yáng qín xīn yī lèng 。 shēn yī zhāo 。 nà huǒ guāng jiù luò rù le yù zhǎng 。 jiāng shén shí chén rù qí zhōng 。
欧阳琴心一愣。伸一招。那火光就落入了玉掌。将神识沉入其中。
Lin Xuan was taken aback but did not respond immediately. The beautiful female cultivator made a welcoming gesture: "Please follow me!"
piàn kè hòu 。 tái qǐ tóu 。| le yī yǎn lín xuān 。
片刻后。抬起头。|了一眼林轩。
Nodding, Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin left the cave and flew towards the peak.
“ shǎo mén zhǔ 。 shì tài xū shī shū fā guò lái de 。 tā lǎo rén jiā xiǎng yào jiàn nǐ 。”
“少门主。是太虚师叔发过来的。他老人家想要见你。”
The speed of their flight was swift; thousands of feet were covered in an instant.
“ jiàn wǒ ？” lín xuān xià le yī tiào 。 méi xiǎng dào yǐ jīng dòng le nà yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù 。
“见我？”林轩吓了一跳。没想到已惊动了那元婴期老怪物。
At the top, the area was spacious and flat, about several hundred feet in diameter. The vitality of the air here was even stronger than that at Ouyang Qinxin's residence. From a distance, Lin Xuan could smell medicinal herbs. There was actually a considerable-sized medicinal garden here.
xiǎng lái shì gāng cái nà jǐ míng jī qī xiū shì bǐng bào gěi tā 。 bù guò ōu yáng qín xīn yǔ zì jǐ yì zhí zài yì qǐ 。 méi yǒu lí kāi guò fèn háo 。 duì fāng rú hé cāi dào zì jǐ de shēn fèn 。 dào hái zhēn de lìng rén yǒu xiē hào qí le 。
想来是刚才那几名基期修士禀报给他。不过欧阳琴心与自己一直在一起。没有离开过分毫。对方如何猜到自己的身份。倒还真的令人有些好奇了。
In addition to this, there stood a magnificent tower.
“ jì shì qián bèi zhào jiàn 。 xiǎng jù jué kǒng pà bù xíng le 。” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī kǔ xiào 。
“既是前辈召见。想拒绝恐怕不行了。”林轩嘴角边露出一丝苦笑。
The tower had seven levels and was made entirely of an unknown type of jade. However, as Lin Xuan looked at it, he showed some doubt on his face.
“ shǎo mén zhǔ shuō xiào le 。 nǐ nǎi bǐ mén de zuò shàng bīn 。 ér qiě qín xīn dāng nǐ shì péng yǒu 。 yòu qǐ huì yòu sī háo ér yǐ 。 shī shū de zhè fān zhào jiàn 。 dào yǒu shuō bù dìng hái lìng yǒu qí yù 。” ōu yáng qín xīn mǐn zuǐ yī xiào 。 yì yǒu suǒ zhǐ 。
“少门主说笑了。你乃鄙门的座上宾。而且琴心当你是朋友。又岂会又丝毫而已。师叔的这番召见。道友说不定还另有奇遇。”欧阳琴心抿嘴一笑。意有所指。
The entire structure emitted eerie energy fluctuations, almost like a magical artifact.
lín xuān yī lèng 。 shàng wèi kāi 。 zhè wèi měi lì de nǚ xiū yǐ zuò le yí gè yíng kè de shǒu shì ：“ qǐng suí wǒ lái ba ！”
林轩一愣。尚未开。这位美丽的女修已做了一个迎客的手势：“请随我来吧！”
Jinglong Tower!
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu 。 liǎng rén yì qǐ chū le dòng fǔ 。 xiàng zhe shān dǐng fēi qù le 。
林轩点了点头。两人一起出了洞府。向着山顶飞去了。
Lin Xuan vaguely heard about this treasure before but did not ask many questions.
dùn guāng xùn sù 。 shù qiān zhàng de jù lí 。 zì rán shì zhuǎn shùn jí zhì 。
遁光迅速。数千丈的距离。自然是转瞬即至。
Stopping several feet from the tower, a layer of light barrier appeared out of nowhere and faintly blocked their path.
shān dǐng kuān chǎng píng tǎn 。 yuē yǒu shù bǎi zhàng fāng yuán 。 líng qì zhī wàng 。 gèng zài ōu yáng qín xīn de dòng fǔ zhī shàng 。 yuǎn yuǎn de 。 lín xuān jiù wén dào le yī gǔ yào 。 zhè lǐ jū rán kāi yǒu miàn jī bù xiǎo de yào yuán 。
山顶宽敞平坦。约有数百丈方圆。灵气之旺。更在欧阳琴心的洞府之上。远远的。林轩就闻到了一股药。这里居然开有面积不小的药园。
Ouyang Qinxin stretched her hand and placed it flat on the barrier. Her lips moved slightly; a flash of light broke through the restriction. Without waiting for her signal, Lin Xuan smiled and walked inside.
chú cǐ yǐ wài 。 hái sǒng lì zhe yī zuò bǎo tǎ 。
除此以外。还耸立着一座宝塔。
With a creaking sound, the tower door opened. The old monster Taixiu indeed knew their arrival.
bǎo tǎ gāo qī céng 。 wán quán yóu bù zhī míng de yù zhì chéng 。 rán ér lín xuān kàn zhe cǐ wù 。 liǎn shàng què lù chū yī sī yí sè 。
宝塔高七层。完全由不知名的玉制成。然而林轩看着此物。脸上却露出一丝疑色。
Entering, they found themselves in an area about two hundred square meters but was sparsely furnished. At its center stood a teleportation array that caught their attention.
zhěng gè tǎ shēn 。 sàn fà zhe guǐ yì de líng lì bō dòng 。 jìng rán xiàng shì yī jiàn fǎ qì shì de 。
整个塔身。散发着诡异的灵力波动。竟然像是一件法器似的。
"Young Master, please."
líng lóng tǎ ！
玲珑塔！
"Hmm." Lin Xuan nodded. After both of them stood still, Ouyang Qinxin flicked her jade finger, channeling mana into the array.
lín xuān céng jīng yǐn yǐn tīng guò zhè jiàn yì bǎo de chuán shuō 。 bù guò què méi yǒu kāi kǒu duō wèn shén me 。
林轩曾经隐隐听过这件异宝的传说。不过却没有开口多问什么。
The teleportation array hummed and emitted white light, enveloping them. A few seconds later, their figures gradually faded until they vanished without a trace.
Specifically, how many? We don't have an exact number, but roughly speaking, there should be thousands.
"Thousands?" Lin Xuan remained silent. Strange. The quantity is more than thirty times that of the sect. If we could integrate them all, the strength would indeed be impressive enough to catch our attention.
"In terms of deep planning, Senior Master Lingyun truly is a genius. Later on, we discovered that he had been laying down hidden moves in this area even decades ago.
