bàn suí zhe jù dà de xū ruò gǎn yī tóng xí lái de ， hái yǒu zhe shǔ yú tiān yáng běn shēn de duàn duàn xù xù de jì yì 。
伴随着巨大的虚弱感一同袭来的，还有着属于天阳本身的断断续续的记忆。
Accompanying the overwhelming sense of weakness was a fragmented memory unique to Tianyang.
shī fù shì hǎo rén 。
师父是好人。
The master is a good person.
Senior Brother One is handsome and kind.
Senior Brother Two, though somewhat odd, is also good.
Senior Brother Three remains silent but is the best person.
...
dà shī xiōng jì shuài ， yòu shì hǎo rén 。
大师兄既帅，又是好人。
What nonsense.
èr shī xiōng suī rán yǒu diǎn guài ， dàn yě shì hǎo rén 。
二师兄虽然有点怪，但也是好人。
Li Fan spent a long time sorting through Tianyang’s chaotic memories. He was brought back to the wilderness by his master and raised there. Since childhood, he had been frail and sickly, needing medicine daily just to maintain his health. Fortunately, though few in number within their sect, his senior brothers were all good people who took care of him.
sān shī xiōng chén mò bù yán ， dàn què shì zuì hǎo de rén 。
三师兄沉默不言，但却是最好的人。
...
……
……
Slowly lifting his head, Li Fan looked at his body, which was about the size of a five-year-old child. He finally understood what had happened. Children have simple minds. Tianyang, due to his weak constitution, could only move within the small confines of their mountain gate and spent most of his time in slumber. It was normal for him to remember those close to him.
shén me luàn qī bā zāo de 。
什么乱七八糟的。
"I don’t even know my master’s or senior brothers’ names."
lǐ fán huā le hǎo zhǎng shí jiān ， cái bǎ tiān yáng zá luàn wú xù de jì yì dà zhì lǐ qīng chǔ 。
李凡花了好长时间，才把天阳杂乱无序的记忆大致理清楚。
"At least I know which sect we are in—transformed into Dao..."
bèi shī fù zài yě wài jiǎn huí lái ， fǔ yǎng zhǎng dà 。
被师父在野外捡回来，抚养长大。
Having clarified the situation, Li Fan tried to sit up and observe his surroundings. A sudden wave of drowsiness overcame him.
zì yòu tǐ ruò duō bìng ， měi tiān dōu xū yào chī yào cái néng wéi chí shēn tǐ de jiàn kāng 。
自幼体弱多病，每天都需要吃药才能维持身体的健康。
"This little guy's body is really weak." The thought flashed through Li Fan’s mind before he fell back asleep.
hǎo zài zōng mén nèi rén shù suī rán bù duō ， dàn jǐ gè shī xiōng dōu shì jí hǎo de rén 。
好在宗门内人数虽然不多，但几个师兄都是极好的人。
In a haze, he was unsure how long had passed when he heard a series of rapid and continuous bell sounds.
duì tā hěn shì zhào gù hé chǒng ài 。
对他很是照顾和宠爱。
He tried to open his eyes but couldn’t. He fell into another deep sleep.
……
……
Next, Li Fan woke up to the sound of voices around him.
jiān nán de tái qǐ tóu ， kàn le kàn mù qián zì jǐ zhè wǔ liù suì xiǎo hái yì bān dà de shēn tǐ ， lǐ fán zǒng suàn míng bái le shì zěn me yī huí shì 。
艰难的抬起头，看了看目前自己这五六岁小孩一般大的身体，李凡总算明白了是怎么一回事。
"What kind of nonsense is this 'seeking immortals' order? Why should we bother with it! Those major sects have thousands and even tens of thousands of members; sending a few people wouldn’t be a problem."
xiǎo hái zi ma ， xīn sī dān chún 。
小孩子嘛，心思单纯。
"Our sect, transformed into Dao, only has so many people. Do they really expect us to go on the front lines? What’s the logic behind this?"
ér zhè tiān yáng yīn wèi shēn tǐ shí fēn xū ruò de yuán yīn ， huó dòng fàn wéi zhǐ xiàn yú xiǎo xiǎo de shān mén zhī zhōng 。
而这天阳因为身体十分虚弱的原因，活动范围只限于小小的山门之中。
It sounded like Senior Brother Ling Xiao was speaking. He had an odd temperament and a straightforward personality, always saying what he thought, making him impulsive.
zài jiā shàng yī dà bàn shí jiān dōu shì zài chén shuì zhōng dù guò 。
再加上一大半时间都是在沉睡中度过。
"Nonsense! An order jointly issued by the Ten Immortal Sects, how can you just ignore it?"
jì yì zhōng dū shì hé zì jǐ qīn jìn zhī rén yě hěn zhèng cháng 。
记忆中都是和自己亲近之人也很正常。
"Didn’t we hear that the Starlight Dao was wiped out for refusing to comply with orders? It happened in an instant!"
“ shī fù shī xiōng de míng zì dōu bù zhī dào 。”
“师父师兄的名字都不知道。”
"To be honest, our sect is far stronger than the Starlight Dao."
“ suǒ zài zōng mén dǎo shì zhī xiǎo ， shēn huà dào ……”
“所在宗门倒是知晓，身化道……”
"That brat doesn’t know his place. He’s always spouting nonsense!"
gǎo qīng chǔ dà gài qíng kuàng de lǐ fán ， zhèng yù zhī chēng qǐ shēn zi ， guān chá zhōu wéi qíng kuàng 。
搞清楚大概情况的李凡，正欲支撑起身子，观察周围情况。
"We can ignore it during times of peace. But now is different. Ling Xiao, you must be cautious and not bring any trouble to the sect!"
yī gǔ juàn yì hū de yǒng shàng xīn tóu 。
一股倦意忽的涌上心头。
The old voice sounded resigned as he scolded sternly.
“ zhè xiǎo jiā huo de shēn zi gǔ ， zhēn shì ruò de yǒu diǎn lí pǔ a 。” lǐ fán xīn lǐ zhǐ lái de jí shǎn guò zhè ge niàn tou ， jiù yòu hūn chén chén shuì qù 。
“这小家伙的身子骨，真是弱的有点离谱啊。”李凡心里只来的及闪过这个念头，就又昏沉沉睡去。
It was the same person who had fed him earlier—his master, the head of the transformed into Dao sect.
mí mí hū hū zhōng ， bù zhī guò le guò jiǔ 。
迷迷糊糊中，不知过了过久。
Senior Brother Ling Xiao remained silent in response.
lǐ fán hǎo xiàng tīng dào le yī lián chuàn jí cù ér lián xù de zhōng míng zhī shēng 。
李凡好像听到了一连串急促而连续的钟鸣之声。
The room fell into an awkward silence. Then a voice that seemed carefree broke the silence.
xiǎng yào zhēng kāi yǎn ， dàn shì què gēn běn wú fǎ zuò dào 。
想要睁开眼，但是却根本无法做到。
"I’ll go. What else can I do? I’m senior brother."
zài cì xiàn rù chén shuì 。
再次陷入沉睡。
"Perfect timing. Let’s show those barbarians how sharp my sword is."
jiē xià lái ， lǐ fán shì bèi ěr biān chuán lái de duì huà shēng chǎo xǐng de 。
接下来，李凡是被耳边传来的对话声吵醒的。
"Senior Brother Ling..." His master sighed and patted his shoulder.
“ shén me gǒu pì zhēng xiān lìng ， lǐ tā gàn má ！ nà xiē dà pài chéng yuán dòng zhé chéng qiān shàng wàn ， pài qiǎn yī xiē rén zì rán wú fáng 。”
“什么狗屁征仙令，理它干嘛！那些大派成员动辄成千上万，派遣一些人自然无妨。”
Senior Brother Ling Xiao walked to the bed, looking at Tianyangpossession in Li Fan.
“ wǒ men shēn huà dào zǒng gòng jiù zhè diǎn rén ， hái yào wǒ men shàng qián xiàn ？ zhè shì shén me dào lǐ ？”
“我们身化道总共就这点人，还要我们上前线？这是什么道理？”
After a long while, he said, "Ah, too bad I won’t be able to say goodbye to Little Junior Brother when he wakes up."
tīng shàng qù ， shuō zhè huà de shì èr shī xiōng ， pí qì gǔ guài 、 xìng gé zhí shuǎng ， xiàng lái yǒu shá shuō shá ， shì gè jí xìng zi 。
听上去，说这话的是二师兄，脾气古怪、性格直爽，向来有啥说啥，是个急性子。
Li Fan’s heart stirred. He was about to open his eyes and speak but suddenly felt another wave of drowsiness wash over him. He fell back asleep.
“ hú nào ！ shí dà xiān zōng lián hé fā bù de zhēng xiān lìng ， qǐ shì nǐ shuō bù lǐ ， jiù néng bù lǐ de ？”
“胡闹！十大仙宗联合发布的征仙令，岂是你说不理，就能不理的？”
After some time, Li Fan woke again. This time, he felt much better, able to get out of bed and walk around.
“ méi tīng shuō zán men fù jìn de nà xīng huǒ dào ， jiù shì yīn wèi jù bù lǐng mìng ， zhǎ yǎn gōng fu jiù bèi miè le mén ma ！”
“没听说咱们附近的那星火道，就是因为拒不领命，眨眼功夫就被灭了门嘛！”
"Master! Master!"
“ zhēn yào shuō qǐ lái ， xīng huǒ dào kě bǐ wǒ men shēn huà dào ， hái yào qiáng shàng xǔ duō 。”
“真要说起来，星火道可比我们身化道，还要强上许多。”
The room was silent, no one in sight.
“ chòu xiǎo zi bù zhī tiān gāo dì hòu ， zhěng tiān kǒu chū kuáng yán ！”
“臭小子不知天高地厚，整天口出狂言！”
Li Fan called softly.
“ yǐ wǎng tài píng rì zi yě jiù suàn le 。 kě jīn shí bù tóng wǎng rì a ， líng xiào 。 nǐ yào jǐn yán shèn xíng ， bù kě wèi zōng mén zhāo lái huò huàn ！”
“以往太平日子也就算了。可今时不同往日啊，陵笑。你要谨言慎行，不可为宗门招来祸患！”
"Junior Brother Tianyang, you’re awake?" A man in white rushed over.
cāng lǎo de shēng yīn tīng shàng qù yǒu xiē wú nài ， chén shēng xùn chì dào 。
苍老的声音听上去有些无奈，沉声训斥道。
His hair was disheveled, his eyes red with exhaustion.
hé zhī qián wèi yào de nà rén rú chū yī zhé ， shì zhòng rén de shī fù ， shēn huà dào de zhǎng mén 。
和之前喂药的那人如出一辙，是众人的师父，身化道的掌门。
"Senior Brother Two, what’s wrong with you?"
èr shī xiōng líng xiào chén mò yǐ duì 。
二师兄陵笑沉默以对。
"Where are Master, Senior Brother One, and Senior Brother Three? Why can’t I see them?" Li Fan asked.
chǎng jiān yī shí xiàn rù le gān gà de jì jìng zhī zhōng 。
场间一时陷入了尴尬的寂静之中。
Ling Xiao gave a forced smile. "Don’t worry; they’re all in the hall discussing something."
hái shì yí gè tīng shàng qù pǒ yǒu xiē wán shì bù gōng de shēng yīn dǎ pò le chén jì 。
还是一个听上去颇有些玩世不恭的声音打破了沉寂。
"Look, this is an automaton puppet I promised to give you. It took me a lot of effort to get it." He handed over a small humanoid puppet.
“ wǒ qù ba 。 shuí ràng wǒ shì dà shī xiōng ne 。”
“我去吧。谁让我是大师兄呢。”
Li Fan examined the puppet and found that its shape and appearance were similar to those he had seen later on.
“ zhèng hǎo ， yě ràng nà xiē mán zi hǎo hǎo kàn kàn ， wǒ de jiàn ， jiū jìng fēng bù fēng lì 。”
“正好，也让那些蛮子好好看看，我的剑，究竟锋不锋利。”
"With this puppet, when you’re tired and can’t walk, it can carry you around. You won’t have to ride Senior Brother One all the time..." Ling Xiao’s voice grew softer as he spoke.
“ sī xīng ……” shī fù tàn le kǒu qì ， sì hū pāi le pāi dà shī xiōng de jiān bǎng 。
“司星……”师父叹了口气，似乎拍了拍大师兄的肩膀。
Looking up, Li Fan saw that Senior Brother Two's eyes were already red.
dà shī xiōng zǒu dào chuáng biān ， sì hū zài dǎ liàng zhe lǐ fán fù shēn de tiān yáng 。
大师兄走到床边，似乎在打量着李凡附身的天阳。
"Senior Brother Two..."
guò le xǔ jiǔ ， fāng cái kāi kǒu dào ：“ āi ， kě xī děng bú dào xiǎo shī dì xǐng guò lái ， gēn tā gào bié le 。”
过了许久，方才开口道：“哎，可惜等不到小师弟醒过来，跟他告别了。”
"Haha, nothing to worry about. Play with this puppet for a while; I have something important to discuss with Master and the others." With that, Ling Xiao patted Li Fan’s head and left.
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yī dòng ， zhèng yù zhēng kāi yǎn jīng shuō huà ， què hū rán jué de shēn tǐ yī zhèn juàn yì zài cì xí lái 。
李凡心中一动，正欲睁开眼睛说话，却忽然觉得身体一阵倦意再次袭来。
After some time, Li Fan followed quietly. However, the door of the hall was tightly shut, and there seemed to be protective barriers preventing him from seeing inside.
dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， yòu hūn hūn chén chén shuì qù 。
抵挡不住，又昏昏沉沉睡去。
Reluctantly, he decided to look around in other parts of the sect.
bù zhī guò le duō jiǔ ， lǐ fán zài cì sū xǐng 。
不知过了多久，李凡再次苏醒。
Suddenly, an idea came to mind. Li Fan manipulated Tianyang’s young body and struggled to reach the transformed into Dao sect’s ancestral hall.
zhè cì jīng shén hǎo le xǔ duō ， zuì qǐ mǎ néng xià chuáng miǎn qiǎng zǒu dòng le 。
这次精神好了许多，最起码能下床勉强走动了。
Using all his strength, he finally pushed open the heavy door.
“ shī fù ！ shī fù ！”
“师父！师父！”
Among the few spirit tablets at the bottom, Li Fan found the one for Senior Brother One, Star.
sì xià jìng qiāo qiāo de ， bú jiàn rén zōng yǐng 。
四下静悄悄的，不见人踪影。
After a moment of contemplation, he bowed and slowly left.
yú shì lǐ fán qīng shēng hū hǎn dào 。
于是李凡轻声呼喊道。
He closed the door again, intending to explore other areas. However, fatigue overcame him once more.
“ tiān yáng shī dì ， nǐ xǐng le ？” yī wèi bái yī nán zi wén shēng gǎn le guò lái 。
“天阳师弟，你醒了？”一位白衣男子闻声赶了过来。
Feeling as if he hadn’t eaten in days, Li Fan’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.
tóu fà liáo luàn ， yǎn zhōng bù mǎn xuè sī 。
头发缭乱，眼中布满血丝。
"Tianyang's body seems to have some hidden illness; it’s not just ordinary weakness."
“ èr shī xiōng ， nǐ zhè shì zěn me le ？”
“二师兄，你这是怎么了？”
Struggling with his weakened state, Li Fan tried to control the tiny automaton puppet in his hand. In an instant, the puppet grew to normal adult size under his command and carried him back to his room.
“ shī fù 、 dà shī xiōng 、 sān shī xiōng tā men rén ne ？ zěn me dōu bú jiàn le ？” lǐ fán bù jīn wèn dào 。
“师父、大师兄、三师兄他们人呢？怎么都不见了？”李凡不禁问道。
"This puppet has more strength than a regular person but no cultivation," thought Li Fan as he lay down on the bed before falling asleep again.
líng xiào lù chū le gè miǎn qiǎng de xiào róng ：“ méi shì ， dōu zài dà tīng lǐ shāng liáng shì qíng ne 。”
陵笑露出了个勉强的笑容：“没事，都在大厅里商量事情呢。”
After this, Li Fan was awakened by a thunderous voice.
“ nà ， nǐ kàn ， zhè shì wǒ dā yìng yào sòng gěi nǐ de jī guān kuǐ lěi 。 kě shì wǒ fèi le hǎo dà jìn ， cái gēn bié rén huàn lái de 。” tā qǔ chū yí gè xiǎo xiǎo de rén xíng kuǐ lěi ， dì le guò lái 。
“那，你看，这是我答应要送给你的机关傀儡。可是我费了好大劲，才跟别人换来的。”他取出一个小小的人形傀儡，递了过来。
"Senior Envoy, please spare our sect."
lǐ fán jiē guò kuǐ lěi ， zǐ xì guān chá ， fā xiàn qí xíng zhuàng wài mào ， hé hòu shì suǒ jiàn de tiān yáng kuǐ lěi ， yǒu bā jiǔ fēn xiāng sì 。
李凡接过傀儡，仔细观察，发现其形状外貌，和后世所见的天阳傀儡，有八九分相似。
"Including me, there are only five of us in our sect."
“ yǒu le zhè kuǐ lěi ， nǐ yǐ hòu lèi le ， zǒu bù dòng lù 。 jiù kě yǐ ràng tā bèi zhe nǐ ， dào chù zǒu 。 jiù bù yòng měi cì dōu qí zhe dà shī xiōng la ……” líng xiào shuō zhe shuō zhe ， shēng yīn jiàn jiàn xiǎo le xià qù 。
“有了这傀儡，你以后累了，走不动路。就可以让它背着你，到处走。就不用每次都骑着大师兄啦……”陵笑说着说着，声音渐渐小了下去。
"Just a few years, and I’ve already lost two disciples to the front lines."
lǐ fán tái tóu wàng qù ， zhǐ jiàn èr shī xiōng de yǎn jīng yǐ jīng biàn dé tōng hóng 。
李凡抬头望去，只见二师兄的眼睛已经变得通红。
"If we continue like this, my sect’s lineage will be cut off before the enemies even arrive!"
“ èr shī xiōng ……”
“二师兄……”
His master’s sorrowful voice continued.
“ hē hē ， méi shì 。 nǐ zài zhè gēn zhe kuǐ lěi xiān wán huì ba ， wǒ hái yào gēn shī fù tā men yǒu shì yào shāng liáng 。” shuō bà ， líng xiào biàn mō le mō lǐ fán de tóu ， zhuǎn shēn lí qù 。
“呵呵，没事。你在这跟着傀儡先玩会吧，我还要跟师父他们有事要商量。”说罢，陵笑便摸了摸李凡的头，转身离去。
However, the other party seemed indifferent. "Don’t complain to me. I know of worse-off sects; what does that matter?"
lǐ fán guò le huì ， qiāo qiāo gēn shàng 。
李凡过了会，悄悄跟上。
"Within seven days, you must send one more person with the team."
zhǐ shì dà tīng mén sǐ sǐ guān zhe ， ér qiě sì hū yǒu jìn zhì fáng hù ， kàn bú dào lǐ miàn jù tǐ dòng jìng 。
只是大厅门死死关着，而且似乎有禁制防护，看不到里面具体动静。
"Otherwise..."
wú nài zhī xià ， lǐ fán zhǐ hǎo jué dìng xiān qù zōng mén nèi bié de dì fāng kàn kàn 。
无奈之下，李凡只好决定先去宗门内别的地方看看。
"Die one by one or all at once—choose!"
Accompanying the overwhelming sense of weakness was a fragmented memory unique to Tianyang.
The master is a good person.
Senior Brother One is handsome and kind.
Senior Brother Two, though somewhat odd, is also good.
Senior Brother Three remains silent but is the best person.
...
What nonsense.
Li Fan spent a long time sorting through Tianyang’s chaotic memories. He was brought back to the wilderness by his master and raised there.
