李凡满脸真挚:「这些年,我为了寻找昔日玄天教英杰,上穷碧落下黄泉、几乎将整个玄黄界翻了个底朝天。诸位法王的痕迹的确有幸找到一些,但却始终没有发现任何跟玄天王有关的线索。但我又不相信,以玄天王当年绝世的修为、真的已经陨落了……」
Li Fan was deeply engrossed in the conversation, his mind racing with thoughts and questions.
mò rú bīn jìng jìng tīng zhe , liǎn shàng shén qíng méi yǒu sī háo de biàn huà 。
墨儒斌静静听着,脸上神情没有丝毫的变化。
"Could it be that there's some connection between this and what happened to the true immortal in the Celestial Void?" he wondered aloud.
「 shù wàn nián guò qù , xuán huáng jiè de jú shì biàn dé yù fā wēi jí , jù lí duò rù xiān xū yě zhǐ jǐn yǒu yī xiàn zhī yáo 。 ruò bú shì dāng nián xuán tiān wáng liú xià de zhū duō bù zhì , kǒng pà gēn běn chēng bú dào xiàn zài !」
「数万年过去,玄黄界的局势变得愈发危急,距离堕入仙墟也只仅有一线之遥。若不是当年玄天王留下的诸多布置,恐怕根本撑不到现在!」
"But an incident like this occurred a million years ago, and even if the outer wall is affecting time flow differently, it would still have been tens or even hundreds of thousands of years ago. That doesn't seem right," Li Fan thought, feeling uneasy about his earlier conclusion.
「 dāng nián de bù zhì ?」 mò rú bīn mī zhuó yǎn jīng 。
「当年的布置?」墨儒斌眯着眼睛。
"However, from what Brother Mo said, the methods used by the forces outside the wall to hunt true immortals have indeed improved a lot. The Celestial King wasn't a proper true immortal and still managed to send a warning message after encountering trouble. But that true immortal in the Celestial Void was an actual true immortal who had spent countless years meditating there, perhaps even approaching the realm of nameless true immortals. Yet, he ended up worse off," Li Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
「 zhèng shì fú dù xīng kōng dà zhèn !」 lǐ fán wàn fēn gǎn kǎi dào ,「 jiàn lì zài gǔ xiān zhèn zhī shàng , yǐ fán sú shǒu duàn 、 xiǎn huà jìn xiān zhī lì ! zhǐ kě xī , zhèn fǎ zǎo yǐ jīng cán quē bù quán ……」
「正是浮渡星空大阵!」李凡万分感慨道,「建立在古仙阵之上,以凡俗手段、显化近仙之力!只可惜,阵法早已经残缺不全……」
Mo Yu remained silent as he recounted what happened to Brother Mo. "When I arrived at the scene where the statue was displayed, the hall had already been destroyed."
lǐ fán zhèng sè dào :「 chóng qǐ fú dù xīng kōng dà zhèn , huò xǔ shì wéi yī néng gòu jiù shì de shǒu duàn le 。 cǐ zhèn xuán qí zhì jí , jí biàn shì wàn nián qián jiàn zào , yě bú shì wǒ néng kàn dǒng de 。」
李凡正色道:「重启浮渡星空大阵,或许是唯一能够救世的手段了。此阵玄奇至极,即便是万年前建造,也不是我能看懂的。」
"The stone statue of the True Face..."
mò rú bīn hēng le yī shēng :「 nà shì zì rán , xiān jiè chuán chéng 、 yòu qǐ shì fán sú xiū shì suǒ néng kuī tàn !」
墨儒斌哼了一声:「那是自然,仙界传承、又岂是凡俗修士所能窥探!」
"Suddenly took on a face!"
lǐ fán diǎn tóu fù hè :「 xiān yǒu shí dà xiān zōng jí tǐ táo lí , hòu yǒu wàn nián sī shā jié nàn , zhū duō chuán chéng yǐ jīng duàn jué 。 xiàn zài xuán huáng jiè de zhèn 、 qì 、 dān 、 fú shuǐ zhǔn , kǒng pà xiāng jiào wàn nián qián , bù jǐn méi yǒu jìn bù 、 hái yuǎn yuǎn bù rú !」
李凡点头附和:「先有十大仙宗集体逃离,后有万年厮杀劫难,诸多传承已经断绝。现在玄黄界的阵、器、丹、符水准,恐怕相较万年前,不仅没有进步、还远远不如!」
"The head fell to the ground, severed by an invisible blade, rolling aside. The solitary stone head's features were identical to those of Brother Mo!"
「 xiǎng yào chóng jiàn 、 fù yuán fú dù xīng kōng dà zhèn , zhǎo dào xuán tiān wáng cái shì wéi yī de xī wàng ! dàn zhèng rú wǒ zhī qián suǒ shuō , gēn běn méi yǒu dīng diǎn de zhū sī mǎ jì ! wǒ dà xiàn jiāng zhì , shí zài děng bù liǎo le 。 wàn bān wú nài zhī xià , zhǐ néng jiāng dào yǒu huàn xǐng 。」
「想要重建、复原浮渡星空大阵,找到玄天王才是唯一的希望!但正如我之前所说,根本没有丁点的蛛丝马迹!我大限将至,实在等不了了。万般无奈之下,只能将道友唤醒。」
Mo Yu's words left Li Fan in shock.
lǐ fán kàn zhuó mò rú bīn chén sī de shén qíng , yòu jì xù chén shēng dào :「 cóng jī yǔ zhēn cán hún de jì yì lǐ , wǒ yě zhī dào liǎo dàng nián xuán tiān jiào nèi pàn tú de cún zài 。 gù ér zuò chū cǐ jǔ , yě shì xià le jí dà de jué xīn 。 wéi kǒng suǒ tuō fēi rén , fán zhāo zhì xuán tiān wáng bù cè 。 gù ér , wǒ jiāng huàn xǐng zhī dì xuǎn zài le yuǎn lí xuán huáng jiè de xū kōng zhī wài ……」
李凡看着墨儒斌沉思的神情,又继续沉声道:「从姬予帧残魂的记忆里,我也知道了当年玄天教内叛徒的存在。故而做出此举,也是下了极大的决心。唯恐所托非人,凡招致玄天王不测。故而,我将唤醒之地选在了远离玄黄界的虚空之外……」
"What... happened next?"
「 dāng nián shí zōng wéi gōng xuán tiān jiào zhī shí , dào yǒu yòu shēn zài hé chù ne ? jī fǎ wáng de jì yì lǐ , nǐ kě shì cùn bù bù lí xuán tiān wáng zuǒ yòu de !」 lǐ fán yǔ qì zhú jiàn biàn dé sù mù 。
「当年十宗围攻玄天教之时,道友又身在何处呢?姬法王的记忆里,你可是寸步不离玄天王左右的!」李凡语气逐渐变得肃穆。
The atmosphere was thick with mystery as Li Fan asked.
kàn jiàn yǎn qián zhè wèi hòu shì de xiū shì , jìng rán kāi shǐ bī wèn qǐ zì jǐ lái , mò rú bīn yě méi yǒu shēng qì 。 méi tóu wēi zhòu , huí yì qǐ dāng nián wǎng shì , fǎng fú yòu huí dào le gǎi biàn xuán huáng jiè mìng yùn de nà yī tiān 。
看见眼前这位后世的修士,竟然开始逼问起自己来,墨儒斌也没有生气。眉头微皱,回忆起当年往事,仿佛又回到了改变玄黄界命运的那一天。
"Initially, we all thought it was the True Face who harmed the Celestial King. But over time, during our escape, I began to feel something wasn't right," Mo Yu said gravely.
「 dāng shí , wǒ zhèng jiē yǐn shí zōng hé xīn xiū shì , jìn rù jiào nèi shēn chù 。」
「当时,我正接引十宗核心修士,进入教内深处。」
"After that, I risked everything and found a remaining Celestial King statue. I tried contacting the True Face using the methods Brother Mo once taught me..."
mò rú bīn yǔ chū jīng rén 。
墨儒斌语出惊人。
Li Fan gasped in surprise: "Friend, you truly risked your life for this!"
lǐ fán méi máo yī sǒng , què méi yǒu lì kè biàn dé jī dòng 、 ér shì jìng jìng děng dài xià wén 。
李凡眉毛一耸,却没有立刻变得激动、而是静静等待下文。
Mo Yu ignored Li Fan's praise and continued: "True immortals generally don't bother with us mere mortals. As expected, my first attempt at communication received no response."
mò rú bīn yǒu xiē chà yì lǐ fán de lěng jìng , wēi wēi diǎn tóu , jiē zhe dào :「 bǐ shí , xuān yuán dà gē zǎo jiù chá jué dào le jiào zhōng yǒu xīn sī bù chún zhī bèi 、 yù gōu jié shí zōng , tú móu bù guǐ 。」
墨儒斌有些诧异李凡的冷静,微微点头,接着道:「彼时,轩辕大哥早就察觉到了教中有心思不纯之辈、欲勾结十宗,图谋不轨。」
"But I didn't give up. Instead, I kept trying for three years, initiating contacts every moment of the day..."
「 bǐ shí xuān yuán dà gē qià féng yǒu suǒ tū pò , yú shì dǎ suàn jiǎ xì zhēn zuò 、 yǐn shé chū dòng ……」
「彼时轩辕大哥恰逢有所突破,于是打算假戏真做、引蛇出洞……」
Li Fan understood immediately.
mò rú bīn dùn le dùn , shēn xī le yì kǒu qì :「 yuán běn jì huà jìn xíng de hěn shùn lì , wǒ chéng gōng qǔ dé le shí zōng de xìn rèn 。 bìng qiě yī lù dài lǐng tā men qiāo qiāo pò kāi le xuán tiān jiào zǒng bù fáng hù jìn zhì ……」
墨儒斌顿了顿,深吸了一口气:「原本计划进行的很顺利,我成功取得了十宗的信任。并且一路带领他们悄悄破开了玄天教总部防护禁制……」
"Even if they disdain us, true immortals would surely be enraged by constant interruptions and punish us. Based on what I know about the True Face, he has that capability."
mò rú bīn de yǎn zhōng , shǎn guò yī sī huǐ sè 。
墨儒斌的眼中,闪过一丝悔色。
"But there was no response."
「 bù guò nà xiē jìn zhì yuán běn yě zhǐ néng qǐ xiē tuō yán zuò yòng 。 zhēn zhèng de shā zhāo , shì xuān yuán dà gē tū pò hòu de shí lì 、 yǐ jí tā qīn zì bù xià de shā zhèn 。 zhǔ dòng pò chú sàn qù , fǎn ér néng jiǎn qīng tā men de jiè bèi 。 zhǐ shì méi yǒu yù liào dào ……」
「不过那些禁制原本也只能起些拖延作用。真正的杀招,是轩辕大哥突破后的实力、以及他亲自布下的杀阵。主动破除散去,反而能减轻他们的戒备。只是没有预料到……」
"It's as though it was just an ordinary stone statue for three years with no replies at all."
「 kuài táo !」
「快逃!」
"So, I guessed that after that day, not only did the Celestial King suffer a major blow, but even the True Face himself might have been injured!"
ěr pàn fǎng fú yòu chuán lái le xuán tiān wáng dāng nián de zuì hòu yī dào chuán xùn , mò rú bīn xià yì shí de wò jǐn le quán tou 。
耳畔仿佛又传来了玄天王当年的最后一道传讯,墨儒斌下意识的握紧了拳头。
"The reason why the statue of the True Face showed Brother Mo's face and had its head cut off..."
「 wǒ tīng dào xuān yuán dà gē ràng wǒ kuài táo de chuán xùn , zhī dào dìng rán fā shēng le shén me biàn gù 。 yú shì jiā sù cháo zhe dà gē qì xī xiāo shī de dì fāng fēi dùn ……」
「我听到轩辕大哥让我快逃的传讯,知道定然发生了什么变故。于是加速朝着大哥气息消失的地方飞遁……」
Li Fan found it hard to believe: "Could it be because the True Face intervened and helped the Celestial King avoid disaster?"
「 nà lǐ bú shì yuē dìng de mái fú dì diǎn , yě bú shì xuān yuán dà gē píng rì lǐ bì guān xiū xíng de dì fāng 。 bù guò shì chén liè wú miàn xiān diāo xiàng de dà diàn 。 zhī qián yǐ jīng bèi xuān yuán dà gē xià lìng fēng cún 。 bù zhī wèi hé dà gē tā yòu huì chū xiàn zài nà lǐ 。」
「那里不是约定的埋伏地点,也不是轩辕大哥平日里闭关修行的地方。不过是陈列无面仙雕像的大殿。之前已经被轩辕大哥下令封存。不知为何大哥他又会出现在那里。」
Mo Yu nodded. "This is also why I'm certain that Brother Mo is still alive. Although their paths diverged, from what he revealed in his words, they got along well. And as true immortals, helping each other isn't impossible."
「 děng wǒ dì yí gè gǎn dào de shí hòu , dà gē yǐ jīng chè dǐ xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。 ér nà zūn diāo xiàng ……」 mò rú bīn hū de chén mò le xià lái 。
「等我第一个赶到的时候,大哥已经彻底消失不见了。而那尊雕像……」墨儒斌忽的沉默了下来。
Li Fan remained silent for a long time.

听闻墨儒斌的讲述,李凡心中剧震。不过却是依旧假装不知:「无面仙雕
After a while, he shook his head and denied it: "This is just your guess."

像,又是什么?为何又会被玄天教封存?仙道十宗统一玄黄界后,便将昔日玄天教有关的一切都抹去了。姬法王残存记忆里,似乎也没有这无面仙雕像的存在。」
"I originally thought that the Celestial King's opponent who caused him trouble might have been at most another half-immortal. If a true immortal or even a more powerful entity had intervened, the chance of the Celestial King surviving would be too small!" Li Fan said dejectedly.
mò rú bīn tái tóu dǎ liàng le yǎn lǐ fán , sī cǔn le piàn kè , zhōng jiū hái shì jiě shì dào :「 wú miàn xiān , shì duì xuān yuán dà gē yǒu guò jiù mìng zhī ēn de yī wèi zhēn xiān 。 dāng chū xuān yuán dà gē chū lín xiān jiè , hái méi lái de jí níng jù zhēn xiān zhī qū , qià féng zāi jié jiàng lín 。 ruò bú shì zhè wèi wú miàn zhēn xiān shùn shǒu dā jiù , kǒng pà dāng nián jiù yǔn luò zài xiān jiè zhōng le 。」
墨儒斌抬头打量了眼李凡,思忖了片刻,终究还是解释道:「无面仙,是对轩辕大哥有过救命之恩的一位真仙。当初轩辕大哥初临仙界,还没来得及凝聚真仙之躯,恰逢灾劫降临。若不是这位无面真仙顺手搭救,恐怕当年就陨落在仙界中了。」
"Based solely on your guess, it's hard to convince anyone."
lǐ fán huǎn huǎn diǎn tóu , ér hòu yòu bù jīn mǎn shì yí huò de wèn dào :「 rú cǐ kàn lái , zhè wèi wú miàn zhēn xiān , shì gè hǎo rén 。 wèi hé hòu lái xuán tiān jiào huì xià lìng fēng cún qí diāo xiàng , sì hū duì tā chōng mǎn le jiè bèi ne ?」
李凡缓缓点头,而后又不禁满是疑惑的问道:「如此看来,这位无面真仙,是个好人。为何后来玄天教会下令封存其雕像,似乎对他充满了戒备呢?」
Seeing that Li Fan wasn't budging, Mo Yu hesitated for a long time before adding: "Not just a guess. The感应 I felt from Brother Mo told me he was still alive in the world."
mò rú bīn lěng hēng yī shēng :「 hǎo rén …… tā kě bú shì shén me rén , ér shì yī míng chè chè dǐ dǐ de zhēn xiān 。 tóng yàng de shì qíng , zhàn zài fán sú xiū shì gēn zhēn xiān de lì chǎng shàng , chǎn shēng de tài dù huì jié rán bù tóng ! qǐ chū , xuān yuán dà gē lì wú miàn xiān diāo xiàng , yī shì wèi le biǎo dá duì qí jiù mìng zhī ēn de gǎn xiè 。 èr lái ma , yě shì wèi le xiǎng yào gēn zhè wèi zhǐ shì cōng cōng yī jiàn de zhēn xiān qǔ dé lián xì 。」
墨儒斌冷哼一声:「好人……祂可不是什么人,而是一名彻彻底底的真仙。同样的事情,站在凡俗修士跟真仙的立场上,产生的态度会截然不同!起初,轩辕大哥立无面仙雕像,一是为了表达对其救命之恩的感谢。二来嘛,也是为了想要跟这位只是匆匆一见的真仙取得联系。」
Mo Yu spoke vaguely and didn't elaborate further.
「 ruò shì néng gòu qǔ dé zhè wèi zhēn xiān qián bèi de bāng zhù , zhěng jiù xuán huáng jiè dìng rán huì róng yì bù shǎo ……」
「若是能够取得这位真仙前辈的帮助,拯救玄黄界定然会容易不少……」
Li Fan wanted to ask more details but Mo Yu refused to say anything else.
mò rú bīn liǎn shàng de shén sè suí zhe huà yǔ de xù shuō biàn dé zhú jiàn yīn chén qǐ lái :「 rán ér xuān yuán dà gē hěn kuài jiù zhī dào zì jǐ cuò le 。 zhēn xiān duì dài fán sú shēng líng de tài dù , jiǎn zhí kě yǐ yòng lěng mò lái xíng róng 。」
墨儒斌脸上的神色随着话语的叙说变得逐渐阴沉起来:「然而轩辕大哥很快就知道自己错了。真仙对待凡俗生灵的态度,简直可以用冷漠来形容。」
"Qing Ming珠?" Li Fan guessed inwardly.
「 wú miàn xiān kě yǐ shùn shǒu zhěng jiù xuān yuán dà gē , yīn wèi xuān yuán dà gē yǐ jīng dēng lín xiān lù 、 nǎ pà hái méi yǒu lái de jí níng jù zhēn xiān zhī qū , què yě shì zhēn zhèng de 【 bàn xiān 】。 shì tā de tóng lèi 。」
「无面仙可以顺手拯救轩辕大哥,因为轩辕大哥已经登临仙路、哪怕还没有来得及凝聚真仙之躯,却也是真正的【半仙】。是祂的同类。」
"Fine, if you're so certain, then I'll believe you this once!" Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of Mo Yu, Li Fan pretended to think for a long time and then said with relief: "Anyway, I don't have much time left anyway. It's just one last attempt."
「 ér duì yú fán sú shēng líng …… nǎ pà shì yī zhěng gè shì jiè de shēng líng , nǎ pà zhǐ shì jǔ shǒu zhī láo , wú miàn xiān yě gēn běn bù yuàn 、 yě bù xiè qù zuò !」 mò rú bīn lěng shēng hèn hèn dào 。
「而对于凡俗生灵……哪怕是一整个世界的生灵,哪怕只是举手之劳,无面仙也根本不愿、也不屑去做!」墨儒斌冷声恨恨道。
"From your actions, it seems you're not the traitor from the Celestial King's sect. Perhaps we can cooperate to find out where the Celestial King is."
「 shèn zhì hái fǎn guò lái , quàn shuō 、 jǐng gào xuān yuán dà gē ……」
「甚至还反过来,劝说、警告轩辕大哥……」
Li Fan stared intently at Mo Yu.

墨儒斌愤恨不已,李凡也不由眯起眼睛、呼吸急促,做出有些义愤填膺的样子。
"You know a lot about the Celestial King but are very unfamiliar with today's world. A million years have passed, and much has changed. The arrangements left by the Celestial King's sect might have disappeared due to the upheaval of the mountains and rivers."
「 xiān fán zhī bié , yóu rú tiān yuān 。 dàn wú lùn rú hé , xiān bù yě shì yóu fán sú zhī rén fēi shēng ? jìng rán jiàn sǐ bù jiù , lěng mò zhì cǐ !」
「仙凡之别,犹如天渊。但无论如何,仙不也是由凡俗之人飞升?竟然见死不救,冷漠至此!」
"I've already searched through this entire world over these years. I can directly lead you to areas worth checking, greatly increasing our chances of finding him."

墨儒斌又道:「正所谓道不同,不相为谋。意见分歧之后,轩辕大哥便不再跟这位真仙联系,将雕像封存。还计划对各地的玄天像重新雕塑。」
"And the remnants of the Ten Elders' faction still control half of the world as the Five Elders Association. Without my cooperation, even if your strength is formidable, you'll inevitably face many troubles," Li Fan said.
「 zhǐ bù guò hái méi lái de jí , jù biàn jiù yǐ jīng fā shēng le 。」
「只不过还没来得及,剧变就已经发生了。」
