403: First trap 403: First trap Editor: Exodus Tales  不过短短百丈距离,陆明舒已遇到数次危险.

Lu Mingshu had only travelled for a short distance, yet she had come across numerous danger.

她暗想,这段路据说是神女遗迹里最简单的一条路,就已经处处危机,那中心地段,说是一步一险也不为过了.若是没有化物境的护持,恐怕没法进去观摩.

但,对她来说,这里不仅仅有危险,还有机遇.

She had heard stories about how dangerous the Goddess remnants was, and this was one of the easiest routes here.

After exiting this place, it would be ten times worse than what she experiences here.

Without the protection of assimilation realm elders, there is no way anyone could enter the Goddess’s remnant’s safe.

But to Lu Mingshu, not only there’s danger lurking around, there are rare opportunities too.

这些磁光,其实就是大战之后的残留.本界武修不修神念,是以感悟不出什么.她却不然,剑修需要神念来牵引剑气,圣王世界里的修炼之法,亦是以魂印为重.魂印与神念很相近,她突破时用了凝神之法,是以神念也被强化了.

The magneto-optic effect is left behind by the war, which is irrelevant to the martial artist in this world, due to the cultivation method they adopt.

But to Lu Mingshu, she views the colourful lights in a different way, since in Jiang Wan’s world, mental state is important as they use it to control their sword energy.

To them, the seal is the base for their cultivation and it’s very similar to one’s mental state.

This is the method that Lu Mingshu used to breakthrough,   用神念去感应这些磁光,能够清楚地感觉到当年大战的痕迹,力量如何运转,这些余波又有什么玄机…

Using her mind to feel and understand these colourful lights allowed Lu Mingshu to have a deeper understanding of the war back then.

Type of energy used, how much energy was placed in the war and much more information…  一路走下去,半空的磁光逐渐变淡,眼见她就要走出此地,却见前方磁光波动突然变得剧烈.

While she was busy trying to understand more about the war, Lu Mingshu has come to the end of this route before she knew it.

All of a sudden, the colourful lights start to show rapid changes.

陆明舒停下来,看着毫无异状的前路,嘴边浮起微笑.

Lu Mingshu stops in her tracks to observe her surroundings.

Seeing the usual looking road, she shook her head and snicked.

终于来了.

Finally, huh?

…

谢廉贞和陆明舒一起在北溟失踪,这事内情如何,王妃等人自是清楚,别人却未必.

Other than the Queen and a few more personal, no one else is aware of the details of Lu Mingshu and Xie Lianzhen’s disappearance in Bei Ming.

周妙如以为,婚事不成,除了陆明舒自己的因素,应当也是谢廉贞没看中她.就算后来一起失踪,也没多想——她自以为知晓内情,还当陆明舒死于周如影之手.

Zhou Miaoru has thought that the reason why the marriage was unsuccessful was Lu Mingshu’s unwillingness and Xie Lianzhen was just simply not interested in her.

She has never thought much about the disappearance, given that she was certain Zhou Ruying would have killed Lu Mingshu.

等到陆明舒回到九瑶宫,仍然只字不提六年间发生的事,是以她还是一无所知.

Even after Lu Mingshu returned, Zhou Miaoru still did not suspect anything as Lu Mingshu refused to speak a word about the past six years.

And Zhou Miaoru took it as nothing important have taken place.

但这会儿谢廉贞上门,她本能意识到情况不对了.

However, Xie Lian Zhen’s visit rang an alarm in Zhou Miaoru’s head.

如果陆明舒与周如影有过一番缠斗,以她有事就要闹大的性子,怎么会不来质问她呢?可见她失踪之事,与周如影并不相干.那么,她与谢廉贞一起失踪,又一起出现,是不是代表着,这六年都在一起?就算是关系普通的两个人,一起落难六年,都会生出感情,何况他们还是一男一女.

~Right, if Lu Mingshu and Zhou Ruying did fight, then why would that impulsive and bad-tempered kid come after me to demand an explanation?

It isn’t like her to not do so.

Which means that her disappearance is not related to Zhou Ruying!

Furthermore, she and Xie Lianzhen disappeared together and came back together, does that mean that they have been together for the past six years?

They are both of different sex, and six years is enough for feelings to grow.

之前陆明舒不提,周妙如也就没往这方面想.那丫头要真的攀上廉贞星君,怎么会只字不提?要是她背后有七真观,就更容易收拢那些分脉了.

~But that kid did not say anything about this!

If she did really hooked up with the alioth star lord, why would she be silent about this?

That information would be beneficial to her.

She would be able to gain the trust of the other lines more easily.~   但现在,谢廉贞亲自上门了.于公,廉贞星君根本没理由到九瑶宫来,那只能从私事的角度考虑…

~But Xie Lianzhen is here now.

And other than personal reasons, there are no other possible reasons that could bring him all the way here.~  “帖子呢?” “The letter?”   侍婢双手奉上.

The servant girl gave it to zhou Miaoru, hands trembling from the cold.

周妙如粗粗一览,眉头皱得更紧了.帖子是给付尚清的,内容写得简略,只说上门拜访,其他半点没提.

Zhou Miaoru scanned through the letter and furrowed her eyebrows.

It’s a letter for Fu Shangqing, only saying that his here to make his visit.

“立刻派人下山.”周妙如对姚大娘道,”探明他的来意.” “Sent someone down now.” Zhou Miaoru waved to stewardess Yao.

“To see what brings him here.”   姚大娘迟疑:”夫人,掌门与诸位掌院去祭祀神女了…” “But madame, all of them the courtyard leaders and even master have left to commemorate the Deity….”   廉贞公子上门,没个出神境招待就太不像话了.偏偏这个当口,出神境都去了神女祭.

~Embarrassing.

The Alioth star lord is here to visit yet there is no spirit realm around to welcome him.

Urgh, why did he have to come during the Deity’s festival?~   “叫二老爷去.”周妙如也是没办法,周二老爷再怎么没用,这时候也只能放出去撑场面,”你再找个机灵的跟着,探探话.” “Get second master Zhou to do so.” Zhou Miaoru sighed.

~No matter how useless he is, at least he is useful to do a show.~ “And get another smart one to follow him to probe.”   “是.” “Yes.”   姚大娘领命而去,周妙如只觉得头疼无比.

Stewardess Yao nodded and went off.

Zhou Miaoru felt her head throbbing in pain.

原以为,收拾了那个丫头就好了,没想到廉贞公子会突然来访.他要真是冲着那丫头来的怎么办?

~That kid is troublesome enough.

And if we have another Aloith star-lord who is coming for her, how am I going to tackle all the trouble?~   …

两侧矮坡,夹着中间的通道.

It’s a valley right in front of her.

陆明舒一踏进去,头顶磁光忽现,无声无息划过.

As soon as Lu Mingshu stepped in, a beam of light brushed right across her.

经过先前那段路,她已经习惯了这样的暗险,脚下一错,便避开了.

After the first route, Lu Mingshu is already used to a dangerous environment.

She moved to the side and avoided the attack successfully.

但在这时,忽有两道剑光,一前一后,飞掠而来.

Out of a sudden, two rays of sword light came for her at the same time.

One from the front and one from the back.

一道剑光静谧无声,另一道剑光却剑威煌煌,一者快,二者稳,正好形成夹击之势.

One of the sword light approaches her silently, while the other shone extremely brightly.

The first sword light is fast, while the other one is steady, trapping Lu Mingshu in the middle.

陆明舒眼中闪过一道厉芒,月神剑出鞘,毫不留情飞旋而过.

Lu Mingshu waste no time as she took out her Lunar God sword and counter-attack.

“嗤——” “Whoosh—-”  “叮——” “Ting—–”  两声齐响,明明有先有后,却快得像同时击中这两剑一般.

The Lunar god sword was so fast that it seems like she had hit the two swords together.

然而,此地磁光之密集,超过他处,有剑气飞纵,立时牵动余波,仿佛海浪一般,荡了起来.

And of course, lights were affected, especially when this valley contains the highest frequency of magnetic waves.

顷刻间,数道磁光闪现,围得这处夹道,闪电”噼啪”骤现,转眼织出一张电网,将中间的人影覆盖住了.

In no time, new lights appeared in the sky and some start to change rapidly.

Lighting was everywhere and it formed a web in no time, covering all who were in the valley.

仅仅如此还不够,之前消逝的剑光,仍旧一前一后,封住了夹道的两端,令困在夹道中的人,进不得进,退不得退,只能生生在其中承受磁光余波的威力.

Not only so, the sword light reappeared again to block the ends of the valley, trapping Lu Mingshu, causing her to get electrocuted by the numerous lighting striking down to the ground.

小坡后,殷虹抱剑而立,不屑道:”还以为有多强呢!也不过如此.” Right behind the valley, Yin Hong hugged her sword while watching the scene unfold.

“”I thought that she were good, but it seems like I was wrong hmm.”   与她并肩站着的,是那位盛长老,此时说道:”她一个小家伙,哪里知道天高地厚?以为自己剑术强就了不得,岂知天下有比剑术强得多的力量.” Elder Sheng was right beside her, shaking his head as he watches the lighting strike to the ground.

“Arrogant kid.

If she had been exposed to the world earlier, she would have known her stand and not face this result.

Such a pity.”   看到被闪电淹没的身影,他暗暗摇头.这是个好苗子啊,要是听话一点,培养培养,说不定九瑶宫下一代又能复兴,可惜了,非要跟他们作对.

Looking at the figure being drowned by lighting, Elder Sheng can’t help but sigh in pity.

~If she had been way more obedient, she would surely be successful in the future and bring the Nine Jade Palace glory.

Such a pity.”   刚这样想罢,盛长老突然觉得有点不对,立马又是一剑甩出:”别疏忽,她还没死!” But as soon as he looked back at the valley, elder Sheng immediately realise that something’s not right.

“Hey, beware!

She’s not dead yet!” He grabbed his sword out immediately.

岂止没死,他们二人眼睁睁地看着,闪电中那个人影腾挪转移,像片叶子一般,四下飘荡,看似毫无规则,却始终毫发无伤.

Not only she’s not dead, both of them saw her floating out from the lighting web safe and sound.

当陆明舒重新站稳,殷虹吃了一惊:”这怎么可能?”这段路有多险,昨天她可是亲眼看过的.像这样的陷阱,他们总共设了五个,无论陆明舒遇到哪一个,都是九死一生.怕就怕她运气够好,一个也没碰到.

And within no time, Lu Mingshu managed to stand right up.

Yin Hong blinked her eyes to take a double take.

“How could this be?” ~I have seen how dangerous and deadly this valley could be!

We only have five of this trap, and the traps are ninety percent successful!~  刚才看到她踏进陷阱,殷虹十分兴奋.果然老天还是站在他们这边的,陆明舒,她死定了!

When Lu Mingshu entered their trap, Yin Hong was more than delighted.They only had five traps, and Yin Hong was worry that Lu Mingshu would be so lucky to not even enter on of them.

~God is indeed on our side, Lu Mingshu, you’re dead this time round!~   可是,被认为死定了的陆明舒,却避开了密集的磁光余波,好端端地站在夹道中,抬头向他们看来.

However, right now, Lu Mingshu is standing right in the middle of the valley, successfully dodging all the lighting that’s coming for her, and staring at them with a smirk on her face.

这个目光,让殷虹想起不太愉快的经历.麒麟会中州一行,她没完成任务,精义院的事又让他们一起丢了脸.她太讨厌这种目光了,好像在嘲笑自己有多无能一样.

This smirk reminds Yin Hong of many unpleasant experiences.

The way that she looks at her when she had failed her missions.

Back during the Qilin festival, or quinstencess courtyard.

As if mocking how useless Yin Hong is, not even able to settle such a small problem.

“继续!”盛长老喝道.

“Go on!” Elder Sheng yelled at her.

不用盛长老说,殷虹出手了.

But even before Elder Sheng said it, Yin Hong had already launched an attack.

剑气纵横,剑光飞舞,两人根本不是冲着陆明舒去的,他们这么肆无忌惮地施展剑术,就是为了引动其中的磁光余波,这才是神女遗迹的可怕之处.

Now, sword light and sword energy filled the place.

They are not going for Lu Mingshu, but to cause changes in the magneto-optic lights to cause even deadly results.

但是,完全出乎他们的意料,陆明舒应对得很轻松.不管磁光引起的闪电怎么动,她在其中进退自如,完全没有受到影响.

But contrast to their expectation, Lu Mingshu is tackling it well.

No matter how much lighting strikes down, she isn’t affected.

她看到他们了,在磁光波动中,一步步向他们走来.

Their eyes meet, as Lu Mingshu walk over to them slowly.

殷虹心慌了,一招快过一招.

Like a cat on hot bricks, Yin Hong launch her attack fastet.

可是没有,她还是越来越近,直到上了坡,站在他们面前.

But she’s still coming nearer to them, and now, right in front of them despite how fast Yin Hong was.
