luó yān zhōu 。
罗烟州。
Luo Yanzhou.
“ qí guài , yīng gāi jiù shì zài zhè fù jìn , cuò bù liǎo 。”
“奇怪,应该就是在这附近,错不了。”
"Strange, it should be around here. I can't possibly be wrong."
“ kě zěn me ……”
“可怎么……”
"But how..."
hán yì méi tóu jǐn suǒ , zài dù rào zhe dǐ xià zhè piàn qū yù fēi xíng le dà bàn tiān 。
韩易眉头紧锁,再度绕着底下这片区域飞行了大半天。
Han Yi's brows were tightly furrowed as he flew around the area for another half day.
yī rán méi néng zhǎo dào zì shēn gǎn yìng dào de jī yuán jù tǐ suǒ zài 。
依然没能找到自身感应到的机缘具体所在。
Still, he couldn’t pinpoint where his感应 had led him to.
“ dí què zhǐ xiàng zhè lǐ , dàn zhǐ néng suǒ dìng dà zhì de qū yù 。 wǒ yī jìn rù qí zhōng , xīn zhōng de nà zhǒng gǎn jué jiù mò míng xiāo shī le 。”
“的确指向这里,但只能锁定大致的区域。我一进入其中,心中的那种感觉就莫名消失了。”
"It does point to this place, but only a general area. As soon as I enter, that feeling in my heart vanishes mysteriously."
“ jiù xiàng yǒu shén me zài gù yì gān rǎo yī yàng 。”
“就像有什么在故意干扰一样。”
"Like there’s something deliberately interfering with me."
hán yǔ cǐ shí xīn zhōng , jì xǐ qiě yōu 。
韩语此时心中,既喜且忧。
Han Yi's mind was both happy and worried at the same time.
yǐ wǎng zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng cóng lái méi yǒu zài tā de shēn shàng fā shēng guò 。 ér gēn jù tiān yùn zhōng de jì zǎi , yào me shì zhè jī yuán tài dà , chāo chū le tā cǐ shí néng gòu chéng zài de shàng xiàn , shì huò fēi fú 。 yào me shì cǐ chù fú yuán zì yǎn tiān jī , fáng zhǐ wài rén fā xiàn 。
以往这种情况从来没有在他的身上发生过。而根据天运中的记载,要么是这机缘太大,超出了他此时能够承载的上限,是祸非福。要么是此处福缘自掩天机,防止外人发现。
This kind of situation never happened before. According to the records in Tianyun, either this opportunity is too great for him to handle or it’s hidden to prevent outsiders from finding it.
“ zhǐ néng qīn zì xià qù xún zhǎo yī fān le 。 jiàn jī ér xíng , ruò shì bù kě wèi , jiù cǐ zuò bà 。 bì jìng wú lùn rú hé , bǎo mìng hái shì xū yào fàng zài shǒu wèi de 。” hán yì xīn zhōng chén yín piàn kè , dāng jí xià le jué dìng 。
“只能亲自下去寻找一番了。见机而行,若事不可为,就此作罢。毕竟无论如何,保命还是需要放在首位的。”韩易心中沉吟片刻,当即下了决定。
"I can only go down myself and see what happens. If things don’t work out, I’ll give up." Han Yi pondered for a moment and made his decision.
yuǎn lí cóng yún hǎi , yī lù qián xíng xǔ jiǔ , tā yě zhú jiàn lěng jìng xià lái 。 jué de zì jǐ zhè duàn shí jiān , yīng gāi shì shòu qì yùn fǎn shì de yǐng xiǎng , zuò jué dìng yǒu xiē tài róng yì chōng dòng le 。 yǐ tā shēn huái 《 tiān yùn jīng 》 hé xuán niǎo zhī yǔ de dǐ yùn , zài jiā shàng zhī xiǎo yī chù shàng wèi kāi fā de yǒu tiān mìng xuán niǎo yǔn luò de xiǎo shì jiè 。
远离丛云海,一路前行许久,他也逐渐冷静下来。觉得自己这段时间,应该是受气运反噬的影响,做决定有些太容易冲动了。以他身怀《天运经》和玄鸟之羽的底蕴,再加上知晓一处尚未开发的有天命玄鸟陨落的小世界。
After leaving Cunyun Sea behind, he continued on for some time until he gradually calmed down. He felt that recently, due to the backlash of fate, he had been making decisions too impulsively. With The Heaven運 Scripture and the Azure Bird Feather in his possession, plus knowledge of a small world with a fated Azure Bird’s fall, as long as he didn’t prematurely die, he could steadily progress towards becoming a spirit-transformed being or even achieve union with Dao.
zhǐ yào tā bù tí qián yǔn luò , zhǐ xū àn bù jiù bān , zé wěn wèi huà shén 、 hé dào yǒu wàng 。
只要他不提前陨落,只需按部就班,则稳为化神、合道有望。
The Immortal Realm wasn't out of the question either.
cháng shēng zhī jìng , yě bú shì bù néng xiǎng yī xiǎng 。
长生之境,也不是不能想一想。
While The Void Epoch Merging Scripture was good, it was just an added bonus.
nà 《 kōng jié hùn yuán shū 》 suī hǎo , bù guò yě shì jǐn shàng tiān huā ér yǐ 。
那《空劫混元书》虽好,不过也是锦上添花而已。
With this in mind, Han Yi's mindset became more peaceful.
niàn jí cǐ chù , hán yì de xīn tài yě biàn dé zhú jiàn píng hé xià lái 。
念及此处,韩易的心态也变得逐渐平和下来。
Without the need to find any specific opportunity, he wandered around with "when your time comes, you will have it; when it doesn’t, don't force it."
méi yǒu le yí dìng yào zhǎo dào jī yuán de zhí niàn , zhǐ shì bào zhe “ mìng lǐ yǒu shí zhōng xū yǒu , mìng lǐ wú shí mò qiǎng qiú ” de xiǎng fǎ , xián guàng qǐ lái 。
没有了一定要找到机缘的执念,只是抱着“命里有时终须有,命里无时莫强求”的想法,闲逛起来。
This small city was a gathering place for ordinary people without any cultivators guarding it.
cǐ dì nǎi shì yī fán rén jù jí de xiǎo chéng , méi yǒu xiū xiān zhě zhèn shǒu 。
此地乃是一凡人聚集的小城,没有修仙者镇守。
Han Yi concealed his cultivation and pretended to be an ordinary person among them.
hán yì yě yǐn cáng zì shēn xiū wèi , jiǎ bàn fán rén , hùn jì qí zhōng 。
韩易也隐藏自身修为,假扮凡人,混迹其中。
However, the aura of a cultivator couldn't be hidden. He stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens.
zhǐ shì xiū shì zhě zì shēn qì zhì shǐ zhōng nán yǐ zhē yǎn , hán yì zài yī qún fán rén zhōng , rú hè lì jī qún 。
只是修士者自身气质始终难以遮掩,韩易在一群凡人中,如鹤立鸡群。
Although he wasn’t sure if he was truly an "Immortal Master," his presence exuded a unique air that suggested wealth or nobility.
suī rán bù néng què rèn , hán yì tā shì fǒu wèi zhēn zhèng de “ xiān shī ”, dàn tā shēn shàng nà gǔ qì zhì , zhuó ěr bù fán , xiǎn rán fēi fù jí guì 。
虽然不能确认,韩易他是否为真正的“仙师”,但他身上那股气质,卓尔不凡,显然非富即贵。
The common people instinctively avoided him, making it impossible for him to blend in.
fán rén men dōu xià yì shí de bì ràng zhe tā , yú shì hán yì zhōng jiū shì nán yǐ róng rù 。
凡人们都下意识的避让着他,于是韩易终究是难以融入。
His plan to secretly search for the opportunity had to be abandoned early on.
àn zhōng xún zhǎo jī yuán de jì huà zhǐ néng tí qián pò chǎn 。
暗中寻找机缘的计划只能提前破产。
"Back in ancient times, cultivators refined their hearts and natures. Even with supreme cultivation, they could live among ordinary people without any issues. I wonder how they managed."
“ tīng shuō gǔ zhī xiū shì , liàn xīn yǎng xìng 。 suī xiū wèi tōng tiān , réng kě hé fán rén shēng huó yī chù , róng qià zì rú 、 háo wú pò zhàn 。 zhēn bù zhī shì rú hé zuò dào de 。”
“听说古之修士,炼心养性。虽修为通天,仍可和凡人生活一处,融洽自如、毫无破绽。真不知是如何做到的。”
Observing the commoners in the city, he was already trembling before he even spoke.
kàn zhe chéng zhōng nà xiē fán rén , zì jǐ shàng wèi kāi kǒu , jiù yǐ jīng bèi xià dé sè sè fā dǒu 。
看着城中那些凡人,自己尚未开口,就已经被吓得瑟瑟发抖。
Although he answered every question and provided detailed information, it was all irrelevant.
suī rán yǒu wèn bì dá , shì wú jù xì 。 dàn quán dōu shì fēng mǎ niú bù xiāng jí zhī shì 。
虽然有问必答,事无具细。但全都是风马牛不相及之事。
Finding the true opportunity seemed like a dream.
xiǎng yào cóng zhōng zhǎo dào zhēn zhèng jī yuán suǒ zài , jiǎn zhí shì chī rén shuō mèng 。
想要从中找到真正机缘所在,简直是痴人说梦。
Han Yi felt helpless.
hán yì bù jīn yǒu xiē wú nài 。
韩易不禁有些无奈。
"Opportunities are like this—when you actively seek them, they turn out to be nothing."
“ jī yuán jiù shì zhè yàng , yǒu yì qù zhuī xún , fǎn ér shì suàn jì chéng kōng 。”
“机缘就是这样,有意去追寻,反而是算计成空。”
Unwillingly, he pretended to leave the city, changed his appearance, and returned to wander around for several more days.
bù gān xīn de tā jiǎ yì chū chéng , huàn le zhāng liǎn páng , suí hòu qù ér fù fǎn 、 yòu zài chéng zhōng huàng dàng le jǐ rì 。
不甘心的他假意出城,换了张脸庞,随后去而复返、又在城中晃荡了几日。
But all in vain.
】
】
He intended to search the surrounding areas but found that the感应 had narrowed down again.
jiē shì wú suǒ shōu huò 。
皆是无所收获。
The opportunity was right here in the city!
běn xiǎng qù xiǎo chéng zhōu biān dì qū zài pèng pèng yùn qì , kě zhè cì gǎn yìng de wèi zhì zài dù suō xiǎo le fàn wéi 。
本想去小城周边地区再碰碰运气,可这次感应的位置再度缩小了范围。
This visible yet unattainable feeling only made Han Yi feel frustrated.
jī yuán , jiù zài chéng zhōng !
机缘,就在城中!
His previously calm emotions were stirred up once more, and his composure began to wane.
zhè zhǒng kàn de jiàn , què mō bù zháo de gǎn jué , zhǐ ràng hán yì biē mèn yù tù xiě 。
这种看的见,却摸不着的感觉,只让韩易憋闷欲吐血。
But the more he rushed, the further out of reach it became.
yuán běn hǎo bù róng yì píng jìng xià lái de qíng xù , zài dù bèi tiǎo bō qǐ lái 。
原本好不容易平静下来的情绪,再度被挑拨起来。
He stayed in this city for an indeterminate time, covering every inch of land.
cóng róng kāi shǐ biàn dé jí zào 。
从容开始变得急躁。
Still, there was nothing to show for it.
kě tā yuè shì zháo jí , jiù yuè shì qiú ér bù dé 。
可他越是着急,就越是求而不得。
The common people in the city watched all of this unfold.
jiù zhè yàng , tā bù zhī dào zài zhè chéng zhōng dāi le duō jiǔ , jī hū měi yī cùn tǔ dì dōu tà biàn le 。
就这样,他不知道在这城中呆了多久,几乎每一寸土地都踏遍了。
They weren’t stupid; a cultivator lingering in the city for so long clearly sought something.
réng rán méi yǒu shōu huò 。
仍然没有收获。
Thus, word spread that "there’s treasure in the city."
ér chéng zhōng fán rén , quán dōu jiāng zhè yí mù kàn zài xīn zhōng 。
而城中凡人,全都将这一幕看在心中。
Although they didn’t know what the treasure was, it didn’t stop them from becoming suspicious and searching through their belongings.
tā men zhǐ shì méi néng xiū xíng , bìng bù dài biǎo zhe tā men shǎ 。
他们只是没能修行,并不代表着他们傻。
Han Yi's keen eyesight easily detected these actions but he paid no mind.
zhè wèi xiū shì zài chéng zhōng pái huí duō shí , jiǔ jiǔ bù kěn lí qù , míng xiǎn zài xún zhǎo zháo shén me 。
这位修士在城中徘回多时,久久不肯离去,明显在寻找着什么。
Ordinary people couldn't comprehend his methods.
yú shì “ chéng zhōng yǒu bǎo ” de xiāo xī , bù jìng ér zǒu 。
于是“城中有宝”的消息,不胫而走。
As long as the fate感应 hadn’t dissipated, the opportunity still lingered. He only needed to monitor the entire city.
suī rán tā men bāo kuò hán yì , dōu bù zhī dào zhè bǎo wù shì shá 。
虽然他们包括韩易,都不知道这宝物是啥。
If any unusual activity occurred and the感应 disappeared, he could pinpoint the location!
kě què bìng bù fáng ài , chéng zhōng zhī rén quán dōu biàn dé yí shén yí guǐ qǐ lái 。
可却并不妨碍,城中之人全都变得疑神疑鬼起来。
So Han Yi took up residence in the City Lord's Mansion, monitoring all the commoners day and night.
wú lùn shì zì jǐ fā xiàn , àn zhōng yǐn cáng 、 suí hòu yòng bǎo wù nì tiān gǎi mìng ; yì huò zhě xuǎn zé shàng jiāo 、 huàn qǔ xiān shī jiǎng shǎng 。
无论是自己发现,暗中隐藏、随后用宝物逆天改命;亦或者选择上交、换取仙师奖赏。
After several months of fruitless efforts, Han Yi finally decided to give up.
duì yú chéng zhōng fán rén lái jiǎng , dōu shì yí gè chè dǐ gǎi biàn zì shēn mìng yùn de jī huì 。
对于城中凡人来讲,都是一个彻底改变自身命运的机会。
"Looks like it’s not meant for me." He sighed inwardly as he prepared to leave.
tā men fān xiāng dǎo guì , jiāng jiā zhōng yǒu xiē nián tóu 、 kàn shàng qù shí fēn kě yí de wù jiàn dōu zhǎo le chū lái , zǐ xì zhēn bié 。
他们翻箱倒柜,将家中有些年头、看上去十分可疑的物件都找了出来,仔细甄别。
Suddenly, his fate感应 stirred after a long period of stability.
chéng zhōng fán rén men de xiǎo dòng zuò , zì rán mán bù guò hán yì fǎ yǎn 。
城中凡人们的小动作,自然瞒不过韩易法眼。
Han Yi's heart raced.
bù guò tā què gēn běn bù zài hū 。
不过他却根本不在乎。
"Who is it?"
qū qū fán rén , qǐ zhī tā de shǒu duàn ?
区区凡人,岂知他的手段?
His divine sense swept the entire city. He noticed an old man in a fisherman's cloak and a bamboo basket, about to leave.
zhǐ yào qì yùn gǎn yìng wèi xiāo , jī yuán jiù réng rán hái zài yuán dì 。
只要气运感应未消,机缘就仍然还在原地。
"Is it him?"
tā zhǐ xū jiān kòng quán chéng jí kě 。
他只需监控全城即可。
He didn’t know this person’s name but knew he was called "Old Yu," a simple fisherman who fished by the eastern river each day and sold his catch in the city.
rú guǒ fā xiàn yì cháng , ér gǎn yìng xiāo shī , jiù néng shùn lì jiāng jī yuán suǒ dìng !
如果发现异常,而感应消失,就能顺利将机缘锁定!
Due to his quiet nature and lack of hawking skills, his business was mediocre. However, his prices were low enough to barely sustain him.
yú shì hán yì suǒ xìng zài chéng zhǔ fǔ zhōng , zhàn jù le yī chù jū suǒ 。
于是韩易索性在城主府中,占据了一处居所。
Han Yi had seen this man several times before but he owned nothing except a cloak.
rì yè bù chū , shén shí jiān shì quán tǐ fán rén 。
日夜不出,神识监视全体凡人。
"Could it be that he found something recently?"
rú cǐ , yòu guò le jǐ yuè 。 yī rán háo wú suǒ huò de hán yì , zhōng yú jué dìng yào fàng qì le 。
如此,又过了几月。依然毫无所获的韩易,终于决定要放弃了。
His heart raced as he connected the dots with the fish basket behind him, confirming his suspicions.
“ kàn lái zhōng jiū gēn wǒ wú yuán 。” hán yì àn tàn qì yī shēng , zhǔn bèi lí kāi 。
“看来终究跟我无缘。”韩易暗叹气一声,准备离开。
He rose abruptly and pursued the old man out of the city without hesitation.
jiù zài zhè shí , tā què hū de chá jué , xǔ jiǔ méi yǒu biàn guò de qì yùn gǎn yìng , dòng le !
就在这时,他却忽的察觉,许久没有变过的气运感应,动了!
But just as he was about to ask this man, the old man with deep wrinkles suddenly turned his head in Han Yi's direction.
hán yì xīn tiào dùn shí jiā sù 。
韩易心跳顿时加速。
This look felt like a bucket of ice water being poured over his head.
“ shì shuí ?”
“是谁?”
Han Yi’s hair stood on end, and he was startled.
shén shí chà nà jiān sǎo biàn quán chéng , hán yì fā xiàn , yǒu yī wèi shēn chuān suō yī de lǎo zhě , bèi hòu yí gè yú lǒu , zhèng yù lí kāi 。
神识刹那间扫遍全城,韩易发现,有一位身穿蓑衣的老者,背后一个鱼篓,正欲离开。
"Wrong!"
“ shì tā ?”
“是他?”
His inner sense began warning him frantically. The good fortune he had sensed transformed into unimaginable misfortune.
cǐ rén de jù tǐ xìng míng , hán yì bù zhī 。 zhǐ zhī cǐ rén bèi rén chēng zuò “ lǎo yú ”, nǎi shì yī xún cháng yú fū 。
此人的具体姓名,韩易不知。只知此人被人称作“老于”,乃是一寻常渔夫。
He instantly realized that the opportunity wasn’t some treasure but this old man himself.
měi tiān zài chéng dōng yī hé liú zhōng dǎ yú , ná huí chéng zhōng fàn mài 。
每天在城东一河流中打鱼,拿回城中贩卖。
This ordinary fisherman was actually a true great cultivator hidden in the mortal world.
yīn qí chén mò guǎ yán , bù shàn yāo hē , suǒ yǐ shēng yì píng píng 。 zhǐ shì jià gé dī lián , suǒ yǐ miǎn qiǎng néng wéi chí shēng jì 。
因其沉默寡言,不善吆喝,所以生意平平。只是价格低廉,所以勉强能维持生计。
The opportunity itself was him!
hán yì céng jīng bù zhǐ jiàn guò cǐ rén yí miàn , zhǐ shì tā chú le yī shēn suō yī , háo wú suǒ yǒu 。
韩易曾经不止见过此人一面,只是他除了一身蓑衣,毫无所有。
Previously, he stayed in the city, so his fate感应 remained centered there.
jiā tú sì bì , gēn běn méi yǒu bǎo wù de yǐng zi 。
家徒四壁,根本没有宝物的影子。
But due to his lack of recognition, he had repeatedly ignored him.
“ mò bú shì tā zuì jìn cóng hé lǐ dǎ lāo shàng lái le ?”
“莫不是他最近从河里打捞上来了?”
Now that he chose to leave, the感应 changed accordingly!
hán yì xīn zhōng yī dòng , lián xiǎng dào tā bèi hòu de yú lǒu , yuè fā kěn dìng le zì jǐ de cāi cè 。
韩易心中一动,联想到他背后的鱼篓,越发肯定了自己的猜测。
If he had provoked this powerful figure just now...
hōng rán qǐ shēn , zài yě gù bù dé xǔ duō , jìng zhí cháo zhe chéng wài de yú fù zhuī qù 。
轰然起身,再也顾不得许多,径直朝着城外的渔父追去。
Han Yi's cold sweat poured as he understood everything instantly.
rán ér , jiù zài tā xìng chōng chōng de jí sù jiē jìn , yù jiāng zhè wèi lǎo zhě ná xún wèn de shí hòu 。
然而,就在他兴冲冲的急速接近,欲将这位老者拿询问的时候。
His flight slowed down. He decided not to take any risks and gave up.
zhè wèi mǎn liǎn shēn shēn zhòu wén de lǎo zhě , hū de tái tóu cháo tā lái de fāng xiàng , bù jīng yì de piē le yī yǎn 。
这位满脸深深皱纹的老者,忽的抬头朝他来的方向,不经意的撇了一眼。
"Who are you?"
zhè yī kàn , dàng zhēn shì rú tǒng bīng shuǐ 、 dāng tóu jiāo xià 。
这一看,当真是如桶冰水、当头浇下。
The old fisherman suddenly spoke.
Luo Yanzhou.
"Strange, it should be around here. I can't possibly be wrong."
"But how..."
Han Yi's brows were tightly furrowed as he flew around the area for another half day.
Still, he couldn’t pinpoint where his感应 had led him to.
"It does point to this place, but only a general area. As soon as I enter, that feeling in my heart vanishes mysteriously."
