432: A Request 432: A Request Editor: Exodus Tales  秀姑姑仍然借着上茶进来了一趟,看到她们各自坐着说话,神情自然,才放心地退了出去.

Aunt Xiu took the opportunity to check of Grand Elder Yuan Xi when she came to serve tea.

After seeing both of them chatting peacefully, she then took her to leave at ease.

待她离开,元昔太上长老调侃自己:”老啦,连见个小辈,都让人不放心了.” As soon as Aunt Xiu left, Grand Elder Wan yu laughed and shook her head.

“I’m so old that people can’t even be at ease when I’m just meeting a junior.”   陆明舒淡淡笑着,没有接话.她并不是那种讨长辈喜欢的晚辈,不会说话,不会奉承,索性也就不去讨好了.

Lu Mingshu smiled thinly.

She’s not the type of junior that a senior would like, she doesn’t know how to continue a conversation or even say nice things.

So as time passed, she does not bother anyway.

饮了口侍女特意调配的药汤,元昔太上长老慢悠悠地问:”当年天门之争,老身曾经告诫过你,至刚易折,强极则辱,你是否心中不服气?” Grand elder Yuan Xi took a sip of the herbal soup that the servant had brought for her.

“During the heavenly door competition, I gave you a piece of advice.

“Failure and humiliation are inevitable.

Just do your best, but act appropriately.” You seem to be unhappy with what I said, hmm?”   陆明舒静静说道:”谈不上服不服气,太上长老之言,弟子自是记在心里.” “No.

Disciple, of course, would put the piece of advice that great grand elder gave in my heart.” Lu Mingshu said quietly.

“但你完全没有照着做过.” “But you did not even follow it.”   她抬头回视元昔:”太上长老希望弟子怎么做呢?继母逼上门来,顺她的意,留在中州?” She looked up at Yuan Xi.

“So what do great grand elder thinks that disciple should do?

Follow my stepmother’s means and stay at Zhongzhou.”   “以你当时的处境,留在中州未尝不是一条好出路.” “It may be a better choice for you back then, considering the situation you are in.”   “即使付出婚姻的代价?” “Even if I have to pay the price of marriage?”   这句反问,有些咄咄逼人了.元昔笑道:”你果然不服气.” Hearing Lu Mingshu’s question, Yuan Xi broke into laughter.

“You are indeed unhappy.”   陆明舒不与之争辩,语气平静无波:”弟子行至今日,并不后悔.” Lu Mingshu said no more and looked down.

“Disciple do not regret my decisions.”   元昔就叹了口气:”不愧是刘极真教出来的弟子,你和你师祖真像.” Yuan Xi sighed.

“Indeed Liu Jizhen’s disciple.

You are just like your martial grandmother.”   这不是陆明舒第一次听别人提起这个话题,但这一次从元昔太上长老口中说出,她更重视一分.

This is not the first time that Lu Mingshu had this conversation with somebody, but since it’s the grand elder this time round, she paid more attention to it.

“太上长老与我师祖相熟?” “Great grand elder, you know my martial grandmother well?”   元昔摇了摇头:”谈不上多熟,只是你师祖个性飞扬,难免多关注一些.”又叹道,”倘若这些年,你师祖在的话,相信九瑶宫会是另一个局面,真是可惜.” “Acquaintance.” Yuan Xi shook her head.

“She’s adventurous and loud, thus I’ll pay more attention to her.

If she was still around, the sect would be different from what it is today.

Such a pity.” Yuan Xi sighed.

陆明舒的嘴角轻轻扬了扬.

Lu Mingshu smiled thinly.

“你似乎不以为然?”元昔太上长老抬了抬眉.

“You seem to have no comments about it?” Grand Elder Yuan Xi raised her brows.

她道:”弟子不想冒犯太上长老.” “Disciple does not wish to offend great grand elder.”   元昔笑道:”只要你说得在理,有什么冒犯的?” “As long as it makes sense, what’s there to be offending about?” Yuan Xi laughed.

陆明舒抬起头:”弟子认为,师祖还好失踪了,不然,只会是另一个师父.” Lu Mingshu looked up at her.

“Disciple feels that it’s better than martial grandmother has gone missing, or she would be just like my master?”   元昔眯起眼,又听她道:”太上长老既然什么都没做,又怎么能指望事情变得更好呢?” Yuan Xi squinted her eyes.

“Since Great grand elder did nothing, why are you hoping that things would get better?”   静默片刻,元昔轻轻笑了起来:”老身说错了,你比你师祖锋利多了.” Silence took over the place for a moment and Yuan Xi chuckled silently.

“I’m wrong, you have a sharper tongue than your martial grandmother.”   她慢慢将药汤喝完,续道:”也罢.老身一个将死之人,与你争辩孰是孰非,岂不可笑?我之一生,即将盖棺定论,而你有着无限的可能,多的是时间来证明自己.” She slowly finished her soup and shook her head.

“Whatever, I’m going to die soon.

There isn’t any meaning in debating my values with you.

I’m going to go into the coffin very soon, but you still have ample time to prove your point of view.”   陆明舒默然.这个时候,她说什么都不合适.

Lu Mingshu bit her lips and look down.

No matter what she says now, it’s going to be inappropriate.

元昔太上长老忽然话题一转:”你觉得,榕儿怎么样?” Grand Elder Yuan Xi looked up and smiled.

“How do you think of Rong-er?”   陆明舒抬起头:”太上长老说的是方才在这里服侍的师妹?” “Do great grand elder meant the junior sister who was here previously?”   元昔点点头:”昔年我门下亦有数名弟子,然而他们全都福运不济,殁于半途,到最后只剩下这么一个曾孙辈还能入眼.” Yuan Xi nodded.

“I only have a few disciples, and most are unlucky, thus they are stuck halfway.

All I have left is this great-granddaughter.”   陆明舒想了想:”这位师妹年纪不大吧?看得出来,基础扎实,玄力浑厚,若是弟子没猜错,应是刻意延缓了突破速度.” Lu Mingshu thought about it for a moment.

“She seems young.

And she looks like she has a strong basis and a strong mystic force.

If disciple is not wrong, her speed of breaking through is slowed down on purpose.”   “不错.” “Yes.”   “太上长老是否希望她多积累积累,再行突破?” “Great grand elder wished that she could train more before breaking through?”   元昔颔首.

Yuan Xi nodded.

陆明舒低头抱拳:”请恕弟子无礼,太上长老此法,未免太过粗暴了.” “Please forgive disciple for being rude, but this method is not the best.” Lu Mingshu bowed.

元昔眼中闪过精光:”哦?” “Oh?” Yuan Xi’s eyes shone.

“延长突破时间,固然能让玄力积累更厚,但这不过是量的差别,真正的浑厚,该是质的提升.” “Delaying the time for breaking through could let the mystic force become stronger.

However, it’s just because there’s more quality and not quantity.”   元昔淡淡道:”未能突破的时间里,一直打磨玄力,不叫质的提升吗?” “Wouldn’t focusing on upgrading one’s mystic force increase the quality?” Yuan Xi aid slowly.

陆明舒一句话不说,身上剑气忽然大涨,倏然之间,根根淡金色的剑气凝如实质,充斥整幢小楼.

Lu Mingshu said nothing and suddenly, she’s surrounding with sword energy.

Within no time, the mild gold coloured sword energy has congealed into solid, and the lighting the whole room up.

“怦!”秀姑姑猛地推门进来,那位榕儿也叫了一声:”太师祖!” “Boom!” Aunt Xiu kicked open the door and Rong-er came in, screaming.

“Martial grandmother!”   元昔皱眉低喝:”有客在此,如此岂不无状?你们太没规矩了!”说着,袖子一荡,小楼内的剑气一扫而空,门也”咣当”一声合上,将那两人挡在外面.

Yuan Xi furrowed her eyebrows and chided them.

“Can’t you see that there’s a guest?

How can you two act in such a manner?

Rude!” She waved her sleeved and Lu Mingshu’s sword energy dispersed in no time, and the door shut tightly, blocking the two of them outside.

陆明舒淡淡笑着.就算寿数将近,化物境就是化物境,消去她的剑气,轻而易举,那两人太紧张了.

Lu Mingshu smiled.

Even though her days and countable, she’s still an assimilation realm after all.

It’s a piece of cake for her to disperse her sword energy.

The two of them were too panicky.

何况,依她所见,太上长老之所以见她,怕是有事请托.

And from guess, grand elder Yuan Xi called her over to entrust her with something.

“这就是你带回来的凝练秘法?”元昔太上长老缓缓问道.

“This is the secret technique you brought back?” Yuan Xi asked slowly.

陆明舒点头.

Lu Mingshu nodded.

求是院的功法,太上长老均可随意取看,想必元昔召她过来,已经将那份秘法研读过了.只是再怎么研读,都不如她现身说法来得有说服力.

A grand elder could read whatever they want in the sect, and Yuan Xi must have read it before calling her over.

Witnessing personally more convincing.

“此是南泽剑神狄前辈所传.”她道.

“It’s passed down by the Nan Ze’s god of the sword, Qiu yu.”   “南泽剑神…”元昔缓缓点头.看那秘法的路数就知道,绝对不是普通高手能创出来的,若是一位宗师,而且还是多年前享誉古夏,有剑神之称的宗师,那就不奇怪了.

“Nan Ze’s god of the sword…” Yuan Xi nodded.

From the book, she could tell that it’s not something anyone could make.

But since it’s from a grandmaster who has been around for decades and is still well respected, it’s not a surprise anymore.

只是,元昔并不知道,这本秘法并非狄羽传承的正本,陆明舒还参考了剑修的修炼之法,以及圣王世界的凝神之法,最后在小桑的帮助下总结出来的.是以,虽然少了剑法的部分,但精华只多不少.

However, what Yuan Xi is unaware of is that this isn’t the exact book that Qiu Yu gave Lu Mingshu.

Lu Mingshu still took swordsmanship and the emperor world’s technique into consideration.

This is the summary that she have came out with.

Even though it’s a little bit different from Qiu Yu’s technique, it is still good.

“七真观是否也得了此法传承?” “Do the seventh truth platform have this too?”   陆明舒点头:”是.”她总结时,谢廉贞就在左近,没道理他各种帮忙,她却不与之共享吧?

“Yes.” Lu Mingshu nodded.

Xie Lianzhen was right next to her when she’s summarising.

She could not possibly ban him from taking a look or having it when he has rendered so much help.

元昔幽幽叹了口气:”看来,古夏要进入新的篇章了.” “I see.

I guess Ancient China is going to into a new chapter.” Yuan Xi sighed.

此法一旦普及,古夏的武者,实力都将大大提升.修炼古法的,绝对打不过新法.

As soon as this kind of training gets out, the martial artist in ancient china would get stronger and the traditional ways would soon be eliminated.

元昔已经看到了几十年后的未来,不,也许更短.可惜,她寿数将近,不能亲眼见到了.

Yuan Xi can already be predicted what would happen in twenty years time, oh no, or even lesser.

Sadly, her time is up, she would not be able to witness it.”   “陆明舒.”她突然正色唤道.

“Lu Mingshu.” She called out sternly out of a sudden.

“弟子在.” “Disciple is here.”   “老身且问你,可愿接受我春深峡的传承?” “Let me ask you, are you willing to inherit the great spring canyon?”   陆明舒一愣.

Lu Mingshu stared at her with eyes wide open.

元昔续道:”老身的寿数,就在这几日之间.然而门下弟子,并无一人可传承衣钵.你若愿意,老身去后,春深峡的一切都是你的,只要你答应一件事.” “I know I only have a few days left, and none of my disciples would be able to do so.

If you are willing, all in the great spring canyon would be yours after my death.

But there’s something that you have to agree on”   她在心里略一思忖,问:”太上长老请说.” Lu Mingshu pondered for a moment.

“Please say it, great grand elder.”   “替老身教导榕儿成材.” “Teach Rong-Er for me.”   陆明舒没有立刻回答.虽说她有天轮在手,但一位太上长老的传承,也是很可观的.毕竟她的根基是九瑶宫的功法,元昔的传承对她来说很有对照意义.而且,所谓传承,不仅仅指功法,还有外物,她就算自己不需要,碧溪谷总是需要的.但,这个附带的条件,也没有那么容易,未知的因素太多了.

Lu Mingshu did not agree immediately.

Even though she had the heavenly wheel, getting an inheritance of a great grand elder is a piece of good news too.

Since she had trained with the Nine Jade Palace method when she was young, Yuan Xi’s inheritance would be beneficial.

Moreover, it is not just about the martial arts, there are other resources that the Green Jade Valley would need too.

It’s just that the condition is too risky.

And it’s full of unknowns.

“太上长老,弟子保证不了.” “Great grand elder, the disciple could not promise that I’ll be able to do a good job.”   像是早知道她会这么说,元昔笑了笑:”你只要尽己所能,若是榕儿自己成不了材,那不怨你.” As if already expecting her answer, Yuan xi smiled.

“As long as you do your best, it’s not your fault if Rong-Er does not turns out successful.”
