huáng fǔ sōng sǐ sǐ bào zhe liàng tiān jiàn ， xiàng jiàn le guǐ yī yàng ， yǎn zhōng mǎn shì nán yǐ zhì xìn 。
皇甫松死死抱着量天鉴，像见了鬼一样，眼中满是难以置信。
Fang Hu Song clung tightly to the Measure Heaven Mirror, his eyes filled with disbelief as if he had seen a ghost.
ér kàn shàng qù yí xiàng huò dá de dōng fāng yào ， zài shén shí lián jiē liàng tiān jiàn hòu ， kàn zhe zì jǐ děng rén mào zhe shēng mìng wēi xiǎn hǎo bù róng yì zhēng lái de sān wàn duō qīng xuán diǎn zài shùn jiān guī líng ， yě shì shùn jiān shuāng yǎn biàn dé chì hóng 。
而看上去一向豁达的东方曜，在神识连接量天鉴后，看着自己等人冒着生命危险好不容易挣来的三万多青玄点在瞬间归零，也是瞬间双眼变得赤红。
Meanwhile, Eastern Yao, who was usually quite豁达 (broad-minded), turned red-eyed in an instant when he saw their hard-earned 30,000 Qingxuan Points vanish in an instant after connecting to the Measure Heaven Mirror.
“ huáng fǔ ！ nǐ zhè dōng xī kào pǔ ma ？ zěn me bǎ wǒ men de gōng láo quán gěi tūn le ？” bó zi shàng qīng jīn bào qǐ ， tā miàn sè yǒu xiē zhēng níng dào 。
“皇甫！你这东西靠谱嘛？怎么把我们的功劳全给吞了？”脖子上青筋暴起，他面色有些狰狞道。
"皇甫! This thing is supposed to be reliable? How did it swallow all our efforts?" With veins popping out of his neck, his face twisted into a snarl.
xiāng bǐ qǐ lái ， lǐ fán zé shì dàn rán xǔ duō 。
相比起来，李凡则是澹然许多。
Li Fan remained calm by comparison. After checking, he found that during the time when they were disconnected from the Measure Heaven Mirror and exploring the Life-Death Mystery Domain, their accumulated 30,000 Qingxuan Points had indeed vanished.
chá kàn le xià ， zài liàng tiān jiàn gēn xuán tiān jìng duàn kāi lián jiē de nà duàn shí jiān lǐ ， tā men tàn suǒ shēng sǐ mí yù suǒ huò dé de dà liàng qīng xuán diǎn shù ， rú jīn dí què yǐ jīng biàn dé kòng kōng rú yě le 。
查看了下，在量天鉴跟玄天境断开连接的那段时间里，他们探索生死迷域所获得的大量青玄点数，如今的确已经变得空空如也了。
"The changes only occurred after we left the mystery domain and connected with the Heavenly Measure Mirror," Li Fan mused. He summoned the Samantabhadra True Vessel and pulled Fang Hu Song and Eastern Yao into the ship's cabin to shield them from the devouring Essence White Mist.
“ biàn huà shì chū le mí yù ， gēn tiān xuán jìng duì jiē hòu cái fā shēng de ……” lǐ fán ruò yǒu suǒ sī ， huàn chū pǔ xián zhēn zhōu ， jiāng bào lù zài shì yuán bái wù zhōng de huáng fǔ yǔ dōng fāng èr rén lā jìn chuán cāng zhōng 。
“变化是出了迷域，跟天玄镜对接后才发生的……”李凡若有所思，唤出普贤真舟，将暴露在噬元白雾中的皇甫与东方二人拉进船舱中。
"Brothers, calm down. We are lucky to have survived. Losing Qingxuan Points can be earned back." Standing at the bow of the Samantabhadra True Vessel, Li Fan comforted the two while looking towards the white mist.

There, amidst the thick white haze, something seemed to be subtly changing beyond his sight.
“ liǎng wèi xiōng dì lěng jìng diǎn ， cǐ fān néng bǎo quán xìng mìng ， yǐ jīng shì wàn xìng le 。 qīng xuán diǎn méi le ， yǐ hòu hái néng zài zhēng me 。” zhàn zài pǔ xián zhēn zhōu chuán tóu ， lǐ fán yī biān chū shēng ān wèi liǎng rén ， yī biān cháo zhe bù yuǎn chù de bái wù zhōng wàng qù 。
“两位兄弟冷静点，此番能保全性命，已经是万幸了。青玄点没了，以后还能再挣么。”站在普贤真舟船头，李凡一边出声安慰两人，一边朝着不远处的白雾中望去。
"Absolutely not! We must get a proper explanation. Either the Heavenly Measure Mirror malfunctioned or someone took our efforts," Fang Hu Song gritted out.
zài nà lǐ ， chún hòu de bái sè zhī zhōng ， shì xiàn suǒ bù néng jí zhī chù ， sì hū zhèng zài qiǎo rán fā shēng zhe mǒu zhǒng biàn huà 。
在那里，醇厚的白色之中，视线所不能及之处，似乎正在悄然发生着某种变化。
"Bloody hell, they are trying to take what is rightfully ours! I will find out who stole our Qingxuan Points!" Eastern Yao's eyes blazed with fury as he paced around, his body creaking and popping in agitation.
“ bù xíng ， jué bù néng jiù zhè me suàn le 。 yào me shì tiān xuán jìng chū le shén me chā cuò ， yào me jiù shì zán men de gōng láo bèi shì bèi mǒu xiē rén gěi tūn le 。 wǒ fēi děi qù yào gè shuō fǎ ！” huáng fǔ sōng yǎo yá qiè chǐ dào 。
“不行，绝不能就这么算了。要么是天玄镜出了什么差错，要么就是咱们的功劳被是被某些人给吞了。我非得去要个说法！”皇甫松咬牙切齿道。
Seeing this, Li Fan did not try to persuade him further. After the incident, their interest in exploring had waned, and given that they had already used up much of their supplies, it was unwise to venture out again. They hurried back to Heavenly Yu City.
“ tā niáng de ， qī fù dào lǎo zi tóu shàng lái le ， yào shì bèi wǒ dǎi dào ， shì shuí qiǎng le zán de qīng xuán diǎn ……” dōng fāng yào yǎn zhōng ， nù huǒ xióng xióng rán shāo 。 xiōng fù qǐ fú bù dìng ， xiǎn rán yǐ jīng nǎo huǒ dào le jí diǎn 。
“他娘的，欺负到老子头上来了，要是被我逮到，是谁抢了咱的青玄点……”东方曜眼中，怒火熊熊燃烧。胸腹起伏不定，显然已经恼火到了极点。
"Brothers, wait for my news as I go find Professor Ji," Fang Hu Song said eagerly upon returning to the city, heading straight to see Ji Hong Dao.
lǐ fán jiàn zhuàng ， yě biàn bù zài quàn shuō 。
李凡见状，也便不再劝说。
Eastern Yao could not contain his anger and paced around the debating hall, not even sitting down. Li Fan remained silent, sipping some spirit tea before closing his eyes in anticipation.
chū le zhè dàng zi shì ， jǐ rén zì rán méi yǒu zài tàn suǒ de xìng zhì 。 kuàng qiě bǔ jǐ yě yǐ jīng xiāo hào le bù shǎo ， zài dù chū fā tàn xiǎn yě bú shì shén me míng zhì zhī jǔ 。 yú shì tā men biàn cōng cōng fǎn huí dào le tiān yǔ chéng nèi 。
出了这档子事，几人自然没有再探索的兴致。况且补给也已经消耗了不少，再度出发探险也不是什么明智之举。于是他们便匆匆返回到了天禹城内。
After a while, Fang Hu Song returned, looking disconsolate as he sat on the ground.
“ liǎng wèi xiōng dì děng wǒ xiāo xī ， wǒ zhè jiù qù zhǎo jì yuàn zhǎng 。” gāng huí dào chéng nèi ， huáng fǔ sōng biàn pò bù jí dài dì qù zhǎo jì hóng dào le 。
“两位兄弟等我消息，我这就去找纪院长。”刚回到城内，皇甫松便迫不及待地去找纪宏道了。
"皇甫, what's your explanation?" Eastern Yao could see something was wrong and pressed him further.
dōng fāng yào zé shì nán yǐ yì zhì xīn zhōng nù qì 。 jí biàn dào le lùn dào lóu bāo xiāng zhōng ， yě méi yǒu rù zuò 。 ér shì bù duàn lái huí zǒu dòng ， huó dòng 、 shū zhǎn zhe shēn qū ， hún shēn gǔ gé fā chū zhèn zhèn pī pā luàn xiǎng 。
东方曜则是难以抑制心中怒气。即便到了论道楼包厢中，也没有入座。而是不断来回走动，活动、舒展着身躯，浑身骨骼发出阵阵噼啪乱响。
"It doesn't exist... it simply doesn't," Fang Hu Song murmured softly.
lǐ fán méi yǒu guò duō yán yǔ 。 diǎn le bēi líng chá ， hē xià hòu bì mù děng dài 。
李凡没有过多言语。点了杯灵茶，喝下后闭目等待。
"What does that mean? Explain clearly! It's driving me crazy!" Eastern Yao shouted.
xiǎo bàn tiān hòu ， huáng fǔ sōng shī hún luò pò de zǒu le jìn lái 。
小半天后，皇甫松失魂落魄的走了进来。
Professor Ji had told them that the Life-Death Mystery Domain they reported did not actually exist.
yī pì gǔ zuò zài dì shàng ， shuāng mù wú shén 。
一屁股坐在地上，双目无神。
Eastern Yao was stunned for a moment before his anger flared up: "How can they dare to lie in broad daylight? We experienced it ourselves, and even the broken mirror serves as proof..."
“ huáng fǔ ， zěn me gè shuō fǎ ？” dōng fāng yào kàn chū le bú duì ， què réng hái shì àn nè bú zhù ， zhuī wèn dào 。
“皇甫，怎么个说法？”东方曜看出了不对，却仍还是按讷不住，追问道。
"I said the same thing to Professor Ji. But..." Fang Hu Song's face turned pale.
“ bù cún zài ， bù cún zài le ……” huáng fǔ sōng xiǎo shēng ní nán zhe 。
“不存在，不存在了……”皇甫松小声呢喃着。
"He asked me to go back there again. According to my memory, when I arrived, the mystery domain had vanished."
“ shén me bù cún zài le ！ nǐ dǎo shì shuō qīng chǔ diǎn a ！ zhēn shì jí sǐ gè rén ！” dōng fāng yào dà hǒu le yī sǎng zi 。
“什么不存在了！你倒是说清楚点啊！真是急死个人！”东方曜大吼了一嗓子。
"What?" Eastern Yao was momentarily speechless.
“ jì yuàn zhǎng shuō ， wǒ men shàng bào de shēng sǐ mí yù ……” bèi dōng fāng yào zhè me yī hǒu ， huáng fǔ sōng shāo wēi huī fù le xiē zhèng cháng ， tā duàn duàn xù xù dì shuō dào ，“ gēn běn bù cún zài zhè ge dì fāng 。”
“纪院长说，我们上报的生死迷域……”被东方曜这么一吼，皇甫松稍微恢复了些正常，他断断续续地说道，“根本不存在这个地方。”
"Only the simple Essence White Mist; everything else, like the Life-Death Reversal Array and the Dead Sea of Desolation, seemed like a hallucination..." Fang Hu Song's eyes showed some confusion.
dōng fāng yào xiān shì lèng le lèng ， ér hòu bó rán dà nù ：“ guāng tiān huà rì ， tā men zěn me gǎn hú shuō bā dào ？ wǒ men qīn shēn jīng lì ， gèng yǒu nà pò jìng zi zhèng míng ……”
东方曜先是愣了愣，而后勃然大怒：“光天化日，他们怎么敢胡说八道？我们亲身经历，更有那破镜子证明……”
Did they really experience all that? Or were they influenced by the strange existence in the mist and fell into a delusion?
“ wǒ yě shì zhè me duì jì yuàn zhǎng shuō de 。 kě ……” huáng fǔ sōng liǎn sè biàn dé shí fēn cāng bái 。
“我也是这么对纪院长说的。可……”皇甫松脸色变得十分苍白。
Eastern Yao opened his mouth to speak but sat down beside Fang Hu Song dejectedly, grabbing a cup of spirit tea and gulping it down.
“ tā ràng wǒ dài tā zài qù yī tàng shēng sǐ mí yù 。 dàn wǒ gēn jù jì yì ， dào dá nà lǐ zhī hòu ， shēng sǐ mí yù què xiāo shī le 。”
“他让我带他再去一趟生死迷域。但我根据记忆，到达那里之后，生死迷域却消失了。”
"Delusion...?" Li Fan's Dharma Stone emitted a deep blue light as the image of the Life-Death Reversal Array appeared.
“ shén me ？” dōng fāng yào xiān dāng chǎng dāi zhù le 。
“什么？”东方曜先当场呆住了。
"What kind of delusion could create such an array?"
“ zhǐ yǒu dān chún de shì yuán bái wù ， shén me nì zhuǎn shēng sǐ dà zhèn ， shén me sǐ jì 、 shēng jī zhī hǎi ， dōu xiàng shì wǒ men suǒ jīng lì de yī cháng cuò jué ……” huáng fǔ sōng yǎn zhōng tòu chū xiē xǔ mí wǎng 。
“只有单纯的噬元白雾，什么逆转生死大阵，什么死寂、生机之海，都像是我们所经历的一场错觉……”皇甫松眼中透出些许迷惘。
Li Fan was certain that their experiences in the mystery domain were entirely real.
“ wǒ men shì bú shì zhēn de jīng lì nà yī qiè ？ hái shì bèi bái wù zhōng de guǐ yì cún zài suǒ yǐng xiǎng ， xiàn rù le huàn jìng ？” kàn tā de yàng zi ， jìng rán zì jǐ dōu yǒu xiē fēn bù qīng le 。
“我们是不是真的经历那一切？还是被白雾中的诡异存在所影响，陷入了幻境？”看他的样子，竟然自己都有些分不清了。
However, for some reason, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance refused to acknowledge its existence.
dōng fāng yào zhāng le zhāng zuǐ ， yǒu yī dǔ zi huà xiǎng shuō 。 zuì zhōng què shì tuí rán dì zuò zài huáng fǔ sōng páng biān ， mǎn shì yù mèn dì zhuā qǐ yī bēi líng chá ， měng dì guàn xià le dù 。
东方曜张了张嘴，有一肚子话想说。最终却是颓然地坐在皇甫松旁边，满是郁闷地抓起一杯灵茶，勐地灌下了肚。
"It seems the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Alliance or the Heavenly Measure Mirror know the true identity of this Life-Death Reversal Celestial Sage. And they seem to have a deep connection. Now that she doesn't want to reveal herself, the alliance is covering up her traces."
“ huàn jué ？ hēng ……” lǐ fán nǎo hǎi zhōng huà dào shí fā chū zhàn zhàn lán guāng ，【 nì zhuǎn shēng sǐ dà zhèn 】 de mú yàng ， shà shí chū xiàn 。
“幻觉？哼……”李凡脑海中化道石发出湛湛蓝光，【逆转生死大阵】的模样，霎时出现。
Li Fan sensed subtle fluctuations coming from the mystery domain after their departure and the connection between the Measure Heaven Mirror.
“ shén me yàng de huàn jué ， néng chuàng zào chū rú cǐ zhèn fǎ 。”
“什么样的幻觉，能创造出如此阵法。”
That was likely when the mystery domain had been relocated elsewhere.
lǐ fán hěn què xìn ， zì jǐ sān rén zài shēng sǐ mí yù zhōng de jīng lì ， shì wán quán zhēn shí de 。
李凡很确信，自己三人在生死迷域中的经历，是完全真实的。
"Such techniques..."
bù guò ， wàn xiān méng guān fāng què chū yú mǒu zhǒng lǐ yóu ， jù jué chéng rèn yǒu zhè me yī chù dì fāng cún zài 。
不过，万仙盟官方却出于某种理由，拒绝承认有这么一处地方存在。
"Fascinating."
“ kàn lái xiān méng gāo céng ， yì huò zhě shì tiān xuán jìng ， shì zhī dào zhè wèi nì zhuǎn shēng sǐ tiān zūn de zhēn shí shēn fèn de 。 ér qiě ， sì hū hái guān xì fěi qiǎn 。 rú jīn tā běn rén méi yǒu zhǔ dòng xiǎn yú shì jiān de yì yuàn ， xiān méng biàn zhǔ dòng wèi qí zhē yǎn hén jì 。”
“看来仙盟高层，亦或者是天玄镜，是知道这位逆转生死天尊的真实身份的。而且，似乎还关系匪浅。如今她本人没有主动显于世间的意愿，仙盟便主动为其遮掩痕迹。”
The disappearance of over 30,000 Qingxuan Points did not affect Li Fan as much as Fang Hu Song and Eastern Yao.
lǐ fán chá jué dào zài tā men lí kāi shēng sǐ mí yù 、 liàng tiān jiàn hé tiān xuán jìng chǎn shēng lián xì hòu ， biàn yǒu sī sī bō dòng zì mí yù suǒ zài de dì fāng chuán chū 。
李凡察觉到在他们离开生死迷域、量天鉴和天玄镜产生联系后，便有丝丝波动自迷域所在的地方传出。
"If my guess is correct, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will compensate us soon. After all, it's better to downplay significant matters. Otherwise, Fang Hu Song and Eastern Yao might spread this and cause trouble."
yīng gāi jiù shì nà ge shí hòu ， mí yù bèi zhuǎn yí dào le qí tā dì fāng 。
应该就是那个时候，迷域被转移到了其他地方。
With his mind made up, Li Fan sipped his spirit tea calmly, waiting for the visitors.
“ zhè děng shǒu duàn ……”
“这等手段……”
Sure enough, after a while, a knock sounded at their door.
“ yǒu qù 。”
“有趣。”
"Who is it?" Fang Hu Song and Eastern Yao exchanged wary glances.
sān wàn duō qīng xuán diǎn bù yì ér fēi ， lǐ fán què bù xiàng huáng fǔ 、 dōng fāng tā men yī yàng ， rú sàng kǎo bǐ 。
三万多青玄点不翼而飞，李凡却不像皇甫、东方他们一样，如丧考妣。
Before they could react, the door opened, revealing an indistinct figure in black robes standing before them.
“ rú guǒ bù chū suǒ liào ， wàn xiān méng de bǔ cháng yǐ jīng zài lù shàng le 。”
“如果不出所料，万仙盟的补偿已经在路上了。”
"You..." Eastern Yao's muscles tensed as he entered battle mode.
“ bì jìng xū yào dà shì huà xiǎo 、 xiǎo shì huà le 。 yào bù rán ， huáng fǔ sōng hé dōng fāng yào qì bù guò ， yù rén biàn shuō cǐ shì ， nà jiù bù hǎo shōu chǎng le 。”
“毕竟需要大事化小、小事化了。要不然，皇甫松和东方曜气不过，遇人便说此事，那就不好收场了。”
Just as he was about to act, he paused, seeing the Measure Heaven Mirror fly out of Fang Hu Song’s embrace and land in front of the black-robed figure.
xiǎng qīng chǔ le cǐ zhōng guān jié ， lǐ fán yí rán zì dé ， bù jǐn bù màn dì yǐn le bēi líng chá ， jìng dài lái rén 。
想清楚了此中关节，李凡怡然自得，不紧不慢地饮了杯灵茶，静待来人。
The figure lightly tapped the mirror and said coldly, "All areas within the white mist barrier that have been explored so far are recorded here. If you wish to explore more efficiently, head to those unexplored regions."
guǒ bù qí rán ， xiǎo bàn tiān hòu ， bāo fáng wài yī zhèn qiāo mén shēng xiǎng qǐ 。
果不其然，小半天后，包房外一阵敲门声响起。
"Remember, don't speak recklessly; otherwise, no one can protect you."
“ shuí ？” huáng fǔ hé dōng fāng yǎn zhōng dū shǎn guò yī sī jǐng tì 。
“谁？”皇甫和东方眼中都闪过一丝警惕。
"Take care!"
hái méi děng tā men yǒu suǒ dòng zuò ， fáng mén biàn yǐ jīng zhǔ dòng dǎ kāi 。 yī wèi kàn bù qīng róng mào de hēi yī xiū shì ， huò rán zhàn zài lǐ fán sān rén miàn qián 。
还没等他们有所动作，房门便已经主动打开。一位看不清容貌的黑衣修士，豁然站在李凡三人面前。
With a flick of his fingers, a light ball flew towards Fang Hu Song.
“ nǐ ……” dōng fāng yào bó rán sè biàn ， hún shēn jī ròu jǐn bēng ， shùn jiān jìn rù zhàn dòu zhuàng tài 。
“你……”东方曜勃然色变，浑身肌肉紧绷，瞬间进入战斗状态。
The figure's form gradually distorted and slowly vanished into thin air.
zhèng yù dòng shǒu ， tā què xīn zhōng yī jīng ， bèi pò zhǐ zhù 。
正欲动手，他却心中一惊，被迫止住。
Fang Hu Song and Eastern Yao stared at the light ball for a long time before finally understanding something. Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads as they trembled uncontrollably.
yīn wèi dōng fāng yào kàn jiàn ， nà liàng tiān jiàn zì huáng fǔ sōng huái zhōng zì dòng fēi chū ， lái dào hēi yī xiū shì miàn qián 。
因为东方曜看见，那量天鉴自皇甫松怀中自动飞出，来到黑衣修士面前。
After a while, they regained composure, exchanging glances with solemnity, not mentioning this incident again.
hēi yī xiū shì cháo zhe liàng tiān jiàn qīng qīng yì diǎn ， ér hòu lěng shēng shuō dào ：“ dào mù qián wéi zhǐ ， bái wù bì zhàng nèi yǐ jīng tàn míng de qū yù dì tú ， dōu zài zhè lǐ miàn le 。”
黑衣修士朝着量天鉴轻轻一点，而后冷声说道：“到目前为止，白雾壁障内已经探明的区域地图，都在这里面了。”
Using his divine sense to probe the light ball, Fang Hu Song's pale face brightened: "Exemption Talisman!"
“ rú guǒ xiǎng yào gèng yǒu xiào lǜ de tàn suǒ ， kě yǐ qù nà xiē shàng shì kòng bái de dì fāng 。”
“如果想要更有效率的探索，可以去那些尚是空白的地方。”
He took out three colorful talismans emitting rainbow light.
Fang Hu Song clung tightly to the Measure Heaven Mirror, his eyes filled with disbelief as if he had seen a ghost.
Meanwhile, Eastern Yao, who was usually quite豁达 (broad-minded), turned red-eyed in an instant when he saw their hard-earned 30,000 Qingxuan Points vanish in an instant after connecting to the Measure Heaven Mirror.
"皇甫! This thing is supposed to be reliable? How did it swallow all our efforts?" With veins popping out of his neck, his face twisted into a snarl.

Eastern Yao could not contain his anger and paced around the debating hall, not even sitting down. Li Fan remained silent, sipping some spirit tea before closing his eyes in anticipation.
After a while, Fang Hu Song returned, looking disconsolate as he sat on the ground.

"It doesn't exist... it simply doesn't," Fang Hu Song murmured softly.
"What does that mean? Explain clearly! It's driving me crazy!" Eastern Yao shouted.
