429: Yin Mountains 429: Yin Mountains Editor: Exodus Tales  火炉热气腾腾,模糊了视线,陆明舒一时摸不准,谢廉贞说这句话到底是什么意思.

The steam from the hotpot blurred Lu Mingshu vision and her mind.

She couldn’t figure would what Xie Lianzhen meant.

说完这句,他就闭口了,默默地涮锅,喝小酒.

After finishing this sentence, Xie Lianzhen said nothing more and focus on eating his hotpot.

安静了许久,他突然道:”看来,这里没我的用武之地了.” Silence took over the cliff for some time, and Xie Lianzhen suddenly spoke up.

“I see that I would not have a chance to flash my skills here.”   陆明舒一顿:”你要走?” Lu Mingshu paused for a moment.

“You’re leaving?”   他笑:”怎么,舍不得了?之前还想赶我走呢!” Xie Lianzhen chuckled softly.

“Why?

Can’t bear to see me leave?

Aren’t you the one that’s dying for me to leave?”   “我不是这个意思.”她低声说.

“That’s not what I meant.” Lu Mingshu said softly.

谢廉贞搁下碗筷,又饮了一杯,才道:”就像你说的,身为廉贞星君,我总赖在九瑶宫不像回事,我也有自己的事情要做.” Xie Lianzhen put down his bowl and took a sip of the wine.

” I am the Alioth Star-lord, I have my things to do too.

I can’t just stay here for all I like.

That’s what you have said too.”   “…抱歉.” “…I’m sorry.”   谢廉贞瞅着她:”你明知道我想听的不是道歉.” Xie Lianzhen threw a dirty glance at her.

“That’s obviously not what I want to hear.”   “…”  谢廉贞苦笑:”哎,就不能说句好听的…算了,习惯了.” “Can’t you just make me a little bit happy…Ah, whatever.

It’s not like I’m not used to this.” Xie Lianzhen smiled bitterly.

陆明舒放下酒杯,从芥子囊里取出一个小包裹递过去.

Lu Mingshu put down the cup and took a small package out from her mustard seed pouch.

“这什么?”谢廉贞瞟了一眼.

“What’s this?” Xie Lianzhen took a glance at it.

“临别礼物.” “A gift for you.”   “哎呀,居然有礼物送我,不枉费走这一遭.”谢廉贞喜滋滋地挑开包裹,却见里面放着几本书,”呃…” “Wow, a gift for me?

This trip is worth it!” Xie Lianzhen opened up the package happily but there were only books inside.

“Erm…”   “其他都是虚的.”却听陆明舒道,”你虽然有王妃撑腰,但最终还是得靠自己.这几本功法,拿回去琢磨吧,应该对你的路数.” “Many things are void,” He heard Lu Mingshu saying.

“The queen may have your back but you will have to rely on yourself in the end.

Go back and take a look at the skills, it should be suitable for you.”  谢廉贞挑出一本刀谱,斜眼瞅她:”这本也是我的路数?” Xie Lianzhen picked up a book on skills on knifes and looked at her in disdain.

“How is this suitable?”   被他酸溜溜的语气逗笑了,陆明舒挑了挑嘴角:”那个不也是你吗?” Hearing the jealousy in his voice, Lu Mingshu can’t help but let out a laughter.

“That’s you too, after all.”   “那怎么一样?!”谢廉贞理直气壮.

“How are we the same?!” Xie Lianzhen insists.

可惜,她不是七真观那些宗主,当即毫不客气撕他脸皮:”你的战力,有一部分来自于他,不管他会有什么后果,不用我说.” Sadly, the person he’s talking to is Lu Mingshu, and not the other clan leader in the seventh truth platform.

“Part of your ability comes from him, and I am sure you know the consequences of leaving him untouched.” She said, without giving him face.

“…”谢廉贞一下子泄了气,嘟囔,”我就知道,你喜欢他超过我.” “….” Xie Lianzhen sighed dejectedly and pouted.

“I knew that you liked him more!”   陆明舒扯了扯嘴角,不跟他争辩.

Lu Mingshu said nothing.

猛灌了一杯酒,谢廉贞道:”我也有临别赠礼.” After dowing a cup of wine, Xie Lianzhen turn to Lu Mingshu.

” I have a gift for you too.”   陆明舒挑着碗里的韭菜.

Lu Mingshu continue to pick out the chives in her bowl.

却听他道:”不过不是东西,而是两个消息.” “But it’s not an item, Is two pieces of news.”   陆明舒扬了扬眉.

Lu Mingshu raised her brows.

“还记得药老吧?” “Do you remember the drug lord?”   废话,能忘记吗?

~Duh.

Who could forget him.”   谢廉贞继续道:”药老那里,你遇到一位婆婆,是不是?” “You met a grandmother back then, did you?” Xie Lianzhen continued.

陆明舒的动作一顿.

Lu Mingshu stopped in her tracks.

“那位婆婆,认得你师祖.” “That grandmother recognizes your Martial grandmother.”   她搁下筷子:”你到底想说什么?” Lu Mingshu place her chopsticks down.

“What are you trying to say?”   谢廉贞笑眯眯地看着她,终于觉得自己又抢回了主动权:”那位婆婆和你有个约定,如果安全从药老那里脱身,她就告诉你关于你师祖的事.但是,紧接着我们被送去圣王那边,就没来得及.” Xie Lianzhen looked at her with smiles, glad that he has taken charge over their conversation once again.

“The grandmother promised you that if she gets out of the Drug lord’s hand safely, she would tell you all about it, right?

But we were sent to the emperor’s world, so we did not have the time.”   “所以呢?” “Your point is?”   “你以为那位婆婆死了吧?并没有,他们被王妃的人带走了.” “You thought that grandmother is dead right?

Nope.

They were all brought away by the queen.”   陆明舒神情一肃,直起身:”快说!”就差上去揪他领子了.

Lu Mingshu stared at him seriously and stood up.

“Spill the beans!” She reached out to grab onto his collar.

谢廉贞举手:”好好好,我马上说,你别激动.”看陆明舒坐回去,他道,”我回来见过那位婆婆了,详细问了当年这件事.她说,她当年确实在北溟遇到了你师祖,算算时间,是三十八年前的事了.” Xie Lianzhen raised his hands.

“Okay fine.

I’ll say.

Please calm down.” Seeing Lu Mingshu going back to her seat, he tidied his collar and continued.

“I met the grandmother and asked her all about it.

She did indeed met your martial grandmother back at Beiming, and after some calculations, I realised it’s thirty-eight years ago.”   三十八年前,那就是师祖失踪那一年!

~Thirty-eight years ago, that’s when martial grandmother dissapered!~   “师祖是在北溟失踪的?” “My martial grandmother dissapered in Beiming?”   “我不知道.”谢廉贞道,”因为她与你师祖分开的时候,你师祖好好的.” “I don’t know.” Xie Lianzhen replied.

“Because when they parted ways, your martial grandmother is still alive and kicking.”   “只是这些消息?” “That’s the only news you have?”   “当然不止.我办事,那当然是面面俱到.”谢廉贞顺便夸了自己一下,从怀里拿出一张地图,和一本小册子.

“Not only so.

You should trust the way I do things.” Xie Lianzhen praised himself and took a piece of the map and a booklet out.

陆明舒接过:”这是…” “This…” Lu Mingshu took it over.

“地图是已知的你师祖经过的路线,画圈的就是她最后失去踪迹的地方.册子上记录的是婆婆的供词,还有我们找到的另外的佐证.婆婆说,临别前,你师祖说过,她不放心徒儿,要回师门了.” “The routes that your martial grandmother have passed.

The circle is where she is last seen , and the booklet contain the records of the grandmother along with extra evidence found.

The grandmother also said that before your martial grandmother left, she said that she was worried about her disciples so she’s coming back.”   册子不厚,只有二十来页,陆明舒飞快地翻完,又去看地图.

The booklet is thin, only consisting of about twenty pages.

Lu Mingshu scanned through it and take a look at the map.

师祖当年的路线,和她差不多.先去的中州,然后转道北溟,从东向西,最后在西端的青鳞州失去踪迹.

The route that her martial grandmother took is similar to her.

She went to Zhongzhong than to Beiming.

From east to the west, and disappearing in the Qingling province lastly.

如果要回门派的话…

If she is going towards the Nine Jade Palace…

陆明舒的手指一顿.

Lu Mingshu pointed at the map.

“阴山…”她轻轻念出这两个字.

“Yin mountain…” she said softly.

谢廉贞目光微沉,点了点头:”如果你师祖抄近路,极有可能路过阴山.” Xie Lianzhen’s eyes dimmed down and nodded.

“If she wants to take a shortcut, then most likely she would come through the Yin mountains.

北溟与西川并不接壤,从青鳞州回西川,要么绕一小段,经水路过中州,要么翻阴山.

Beiming is far from Xichuan.

And to come back from Qingling to Xichuan, is either by boat through Zhongzhou or go through the Yin mountains.

阴山是当年人蛮两族的古战场,地势险恶又荒凉,凶兽横行,还有蛮族出没,一般人都会绕路过中州,而不会选择翻阴山.

The mountain that the war between mankind and barbarians was held.

It has a bad geographical position and is now deserted.

Ferocious beast roamed around and there are barbarians at times too.

Most people would choose to go by Zhongzhoy instead.

但是,她师祖当年已经出神,据师父说,在整个门派都是顶尖的.那会儿项宗师余威还在,九瑶宫还称不上没落,门派的高手在古夏排得上号.所谓艺高人胆大,师祖选择抄近路回西川,也不奇怪.

But back then, her martial grandmother has already broken through the spirit realm and is the best in the sect.

Back then, grandmaster Xiang was still around and the Nine Jade Palace was still in a good state.

And the elites in the Nine Jade Palace could be counted to be elites in ancient China.

The stronger the person is, the bolder he or she is.

So it’s not a surprise if her martial grandmother chose to take the route of Yin mountain,   “你师祖的路线,我推敲过很多遍,她的失踪只有两种可能.其一,被卷入溟河某条不知名的支流,其二,就是阴山.第一的可能性不高,因为你师祖手上有详细的地图,她既然打算回去,就不大可能去未知的区域.所以…” “I have investigated the route she took, and there are only two possibilities for her lost.

Firstly, getting lost in one of the unknown tributaries of the ming river.

Secondly, the Yin mountains.

Because your martial grandmother had a detailed map with her, she would not likely venture any unknown places as she was set on returning.

Thus…”   “她很可能在阴山失踪的.” “She dissapered in the Yin mountains.”   谢廉贞点头:”这也正好解释,为什么你们怎么都找不到线索.” “This explains why none of you could get any clues.”   是啊,整个九瑶宫,包括师父,从来没有想过,师祖会是在阴山失踪的.当年师父进入出神,选择去北溟游历,未尝没有追寻师祖踪迹的意思,结果却…

Yeah, who in the sect, including her master would guess that her martial grandmother would end up disappearing in the Yin mountain?

When her master have broken through the spirit realm, he went travelling at Beiming to find traces of his master but…   “先说好,我告诉你这件事,是相信你能把持住.阴山那个地方,不同寻常,不要以为自己实力强就一头撞进去.” “Let me tell you, I’m telling you this because I trust that you would be able to hold it in.

Yin mountain is not somewhere where anyone could go.

Do not think that your ability can allow it.”   陆明舒抬起头:”你父亲是在阴山去世的吧?” “Your father died there, did he?” Lu Mingshu look up at hi,   谢廉贞一默.阴山,对他来说同样是一个特别的地方,他的悲剧,就是从阴山开始的.如果不是父亲死在阴山,母亲就不用这么拼命,他也不必…

Xie Lianzhen kept quiet.

The Yin mountains is a special place for him.

It’s the start of his unfortunate life.

~If father did not die there, mother would not need to work so hard and I…~   陆明舒点点头:”我知道了.” Lu Mingshu nodded.

“It’s okay, I now know.”   谢廉贞叹了口气:”我有点后悔告诉你这件事了.” Xie Lianzhen sighed.

“I regret telling you this.”   “就算你不说,我也会查的.” “I may find out any day if you do too.”   “但你想查到并不容易.” “But it’s difficult to do so.”   陆明舒淡淡一笑:”对了,你说的另一个消息是什么?” Lu Mingshu smiled thinly.

“Yeah, what’s the next piece of news you had?”   他方才说的是两个消息,第一个就如此惊人,第二个最起码也是同档次的吧?

Xie Lianzhen said that there are two pieces of news.~ The first one is already this shocking, it should be this case for the second one, right?~   谢廉贞笑:”第二个消息不关你的事,不过我觉得还是说一下比较好,让你心里有个底.” Xie Lianzhen laughed.

“It’s not related to you, but I guess it’s better for you to know.”
