Chapter 19 – Rank six vital Gu, The Spring Autumn Cicada!

第十九节：六转本命春秋蝉！

During the process of refining, the Gu counterattacked!

炼化过程中，竟遭蛊虫反噬！

At this time, the Liquor worm that had inherited the Flower Wine Monk’s extremely strong will invaded his aperture, brazenly counterattacking at Fang Yuan.

酒虫继承着花酒行者的强大意志，此时入侵空窍，悍然反噬方源。

This strong willpower descended from above, surging down towards the bottom of the aperture where the green copper primeval sea was.

这股强大的意志力量，从上而下，向空窍底部的青铜元海狠狠地冲击下来。

The waves in the sea tumbled, setting off bursts of high tide. Under Fang Yuan’s will, large amounts of primeval essence rose upwards to the sky and gathered together, forming a towering monster wave, brazenly accepting the incoming Liquor worm’s will.

而青铜元海，亦是波涛翻滚，掀起一阵阵的高潮。在方源的意志下，大股的真元逆天而起，汇聚一起，形成一股冲天狂浪，悍然迎上酒虫的意志。

Just as both sides were about to collide viciously in the middle of the aperture, a faint image of a Gu worm emerged in a blank area between the two energies.

眼看着双方就要在空窍的中央，凶狠地碰撞到一起。但就在这时，两股力量的中央，空窍中的空白地带，浮现出一抹淡淡的蛊虫虚影。

This was a cicada.

这是一头蝉。

The cicada’s body was not large; if the Moonlight Gu was described as a blue crystal shaped like a curved moon, then this cicada would be a delicate craftwork that was made from palm wood and tree leaves by a master craftsman.

这蝉体型不大，如果说月光蛊是一枚弯弯如月的蓝色水晶，那么这蝉就好似工匠大师用了棕木和树叶制成的精致工艺品。

The Gu sported a brownish yellow head and abdomen. Its surface had the texture of a tree’s growth rings, as if it had witnessed countless years.

它的头部、腹部都是棕黄色的，表面上有树木年轮般的纹理，似乎见证了岁月。

On its back were two very wide and translucent wings, like two tree leaves overlapping. The wings had similar structure; this structure was like a typical net-vein leaf. The center had a coarse stem, and from this stem sprouted out a network vein of leaf lines on both sides.

它的背部的双翼很宽大，半透明，就好像是两片树叶交叠着。两片翅膀上都有纹路，且十分相似。这纹路就像是树叶的典型网状叶脉，中央是一根粗茎，从粗茎向两边辐射出网状的叶纹。

The Spring Autumn Cicada!

春秋蝉！

It had been startled.

它被惊动了。

It was just like a giant beast, usually hiding in its cave in a deep sleep. But suddenly it was awakened, furthermore learning that its territory had been violated.

就好像是一头巨兽，平时潜藏在山洞中沉睡。但是忽然被吵醒，并且发现自己的地盘被侵犯。

Who dares to come into my turf and act wildly!

谁敢来我的地盘撒野！

As if its dignity was offended, the Spring Autumn Cicada was angry and let out a whiff of aura;

似乎是尊严被冒犯，春秋蝉愤怒了，它散发出一股气息。

the aura was weak yet powerful. It was like the surging Milky Way, rolling forth with vast and mighty waves; it would sweep across mountains for ten thousands of miles, or submerge a broad desert!

这股气息是微弱的，又是如此的强大。仿佛是滔滔天河，滚滚向前，波涛浩荡，要席卷万里青山，要淹没苍天大漠！

To be compared to this aura, the Liquor worm’s will was like the case of an ant meeting an elephant!

和这股气息相比，酒虫的意志就如同蚂蚁见到了大象！

The aura swept around and expanded, just like a raised invisible tsunami. The invading will of the Liquor worm did not even have the ability to withstand it; it was immediately swallowed whole by this aura.

气息向四周席卷扩张，就好像是掀起的无形绝世大海啸。酒虫入侵进来的意志，碰到这海啸，连抵挡的能力都没有，直接被这股气息吞没个干干净净。

Fang Yuan felt depressed.

方源胸口一闷。

The green copper primeval essence that he had thrust forward with his might collided with this aura like it was a wave crashing onto a great mountain. In a moment the condensed primeval essence disintegrated and dispersed into rain, scattering down to the primeval sea.

他极力鼓动逆冲而上的青铜真元，碰到这股气息，仿佛是一股海浪撞上了天山。一下子凝聚在一起的真元就分崩离析，溃散成雨，尽数洒下，落回到真元海面当中。

The waves on the primeval sea rose one after another; it was like a rainstorm had just swept across, increasing its turbulence.

哗啦啦。

真元海面上浪潮此起彼伏，仿佛是下了一场暴雨，更添动荡。

But after a few seconds, the Spring Autumn Cicada’s aura spread down, pressing onto the primeval sea.

但几个呼吸后，春秋蝉的气息扩散下来，压在元海上。

Boom!

轰！

Fang Yuan felt like he heard a buzz. In an instant, the rolling waves on the sea calmed down.

方源仿佛听到一声嗡鸣，在瞬间，波涛翻滚的元海一下子静止下来。

The Spring Autumn Cicada’s aura firmly repressed the entire primeval sea, just like an invisible mountain pressing down. The surface of the sea was calm like a mirror, not a single wave rolling about.

春秋蝉的气息死死地压迫住整片元海，像是一座无形的大山镇压着，海面兴不起一丝波涛，平静得如一面镜子。

It was like an originally crumpled piece of paper; a boundless giant hand covering over it suddenly, flattening it.

又好像是原本一张充满褶皱的纸，被这股气息化成的巨人的无边大手，一下子盖住，抹平。

This was easily an incomparable power!

这简直是无以伦比的力量！

Fang Yuan felt a pressure weighing like an enormous invisible mountain pressing down on his heart. He compared it to Sun Wukong being pressed down by the Five Elements Mountain; Fang Yuan could not even mobilize a single pint of primeval essence.

方源感到心头像是压上了一座无形的大山，仿佛是孙猴子被压在五行山下，他一丝真元都调动不起来。

However although he was shocked, he was not afraid. In fact his heart felt great joy.

不过，他虽然震惊，却并不害怕，反而心中涌现出一股浓烈的喜悦之情。

“I didn’t think the Spring Autumn Cicada would actually follow me and be reborn together! So it’s actually not a one-time use Gu worm, but one that can be used again repeatedly.”

“没有想到春秋蝉竟然跟随着我一起重生了！原来它并非是一次性的消耗蛊，而是可以重复利用的。”

The Spring Autumn Cicada was a Rank six grade, and it was the first Rank six Gu in Fang Yuan’s previous life, as well as his last. Just to make it, Fang Yuan had used all means and resources, wasting an incredible amount of strength, using thirty years of fermenting to finally succeed.

春秋蝉品级高达六转，是方源前世的第一只六转蛊虫，也是最后一只。为了炼制它，方源动用了全部的手段和资源，费劲了九牛二虎之力，足足三十年的酝酿，才侥幸成功。

But not long after he succeeded, when the Spring Autumn Cicada was still fresh from the oven, warriors of the Righteous faction felt Fang Yuan’s threat and gathered together to attack and kill him.

但是成功不久之后，春秋蝉还未捂热，正道群雄都感到了方源的威胁，群起而攻，将方源杀死。

After being reborn, Fang Yuan did not find the Spring Autumn Cicada, so he thought it had died. But in reality it had fallen into a deep sleep, resting inside Fang Yuan’s body.

重生之后，方源没有发现春秋蝉，就以为它已经消亡。但事实上，它寄托在方源的身体内，陷入了沉睡。

To travel back five hundred years in an instant was a huge blow to its vitality. It was too weak, so weak that even Fang Yuan as its master could not feel it.

一下子逆转光阴五百年，它元气大损，实在太虚弱了，虚弱到连方源这个主人都感应不到。

Right now even though the Spring Autumn Cicada had appeared, its situation was still bad.

现在春秋蝉虽然出现，但情况仍旧不妙。

After being reborn it had always been resting in a deep sleep. To appear right now was because it had felt the danger that the aperture was facing; it could be said that the Liquor worm’s will had awakened it.

重生以来，它一直在沉眠中静养。此时出现，只是觉察到空窍危机，算是被酒虫的意志惊醒的。

It was weak, very weak, extremely weak.

它虚弱的很，十分虚弱，极其虚弱。

In Fang Yuan’s memories, the original Spring Autumn Cicada was full of vitality. Its body was like a precious floorboard, giving out a warm and glossy varnish. Its two wings were verdant green, like two soft tree leaves that had just freshly sprouted.

在方源的记忆中，原先的春秋蝉是生机盎然的，它的身体躯干就好像是名贵地板，散发着温润的油光。它的双翅，是嫩绿嫩绿的，好像是两片刚抽芽的鲜嫩树叶。

But right now, there was a strong and deathly chill emanating from the body of the cicada. There was no shine or gloss from its body, making it feel rough and dim like dead wood. Its wings were not the colour of soft and green leaves; they were fully yellow, just like the withering leaves of autumn. The tips of its wings were slightly rolled up, a little incomplete, just like the corner of fallen leaves.

但是此刻，一股浓郁的肃杀死寂的气息从蝉身上散发出来。它的躯干没有一点光华，显得粗糙黯淡，如同枯木一样。它的双翅也不是嫩绿的树叶，而是充满了枯黄之色，像是秋天即将凋零的枯萎叶子。而且翅尖都微微卷起，有残缺，就如同落叶的边角。

Seeing this, Fang Yuan felt both distressed and lucky.

对此，方源既心疼又庆幸。

He was distressed because the Spring Autumn Cicada suffered such a heavy blow; it was barely a step away from death, just a foot away from the edge of a cliff.

心疼的是，春秋蝉遭此重创，离消亡只有一线之隔，如一脚踏在悬崖边上。

The fortunate thing was, thank heavens the Spring Autumn Cicada was weak to this point, or else he would be in great trouble!

庆幸的是，幸亏春秋蝉虚弱到这种程度，否则自己麻烦就大了！

One must know, between a Gu Master and a Gu, both must complement each other, the best would be both having the same rank.

要知道，蛊师和蛊虫之间，必须相辅相成，最好是同等境界。

A Rank one Gu Master should use a Rank one Gu – this was the most appropriate.

一转的蛊师，就用一转的蛊虫，这是最合适的。

If the Gu’s grade was lower than the Gu Master, when the Gu Master uses it, it would be the equivalent of a strong man carrying a small stick, the strength output would be small.

若是蛊虫品级低于蛊师，蛊师用起来，就相当于壮汉拎着小木棍，很不给力。

If the Gu’s grade was higher than the Gu Master, when the Gu Master uses it, it would be the example of a small child carrying a heavy axe, unable to wield it properly.

若是蛊虫品级高于蛊师，蛊师用着，就如同孩童扛着沉重的大斧头，心有余而力不足。

The Spring Autumn Cicada was a Rank six Gu, and Fang Yuan was just a Rank one initial stage Gu Master. To use an image as example, the Spring Autumn Cicada would be a mountain, and Fang Yuan would be a squirrel. If the squirrel wanted to use the mountain to beat its enemy, the squirrel would just be squashed flat by the mountain at the first second.

春秋蝉是六转蛊虫，而方源只是一转初阶的小小蛊师。打个形象点的比喻，春秋蝉就是一座山，方源是一只松鼠。要让松鼠扛着山去打砸敌人，第一时间松鼠就被山压扁了。

If the Spring Autumn Cicada was at its peak state, Fang Yuan’s weak Rank one aperture could not even tolerate it; the majestic aura of the cicada would just make the aperture burst to death.

若春秋蝉是巅峰状态，方源小小的一转蛊师的空窍，根本就容不下它，直接就会被它的磅礴气息撑破致死。

Fortunately it was at its weakest state, so Fang Yuan’s aperture could accommodate it right now.

幸好它虚弱到了极点，才能被方源此时的空窍所容纳。

“I gave up the Moonlight Gu, going through all the lengths to find the Liquor worm just to refine it into my vitalGu. But in reality I already had a vital Gu from the start, the Spring Autumn Cicada is my vital Gu!” Fang Yuan’s heart was filled with emotion as he felt the close connection between him and the Spring Autumn Cicada.

“我放弃了月光蛊，千方百计找到了酒虫，就是为了炼成本命蛊。但其实，我早就有了本命蛊，春秋蝉就是我的本命蛊！”感受着自己和春秋蝉之间的那股亲切联系，方源心中感慨万千。

The vital Gu is the first Gu that a Gu Master refines. It is terribly important, and would affect the future development of a Gu Master by a large extent.

本命蛊，是蛊师第一只炼化的蛊虫，十分重要，很大程度上都影响着蛊师的今后发展。

If a vital Gu is well picked, the Gu Master’s development will become smoother. When the vital Gu is of a poor grade, to a Gu Master it would just drag down his cultivation and let peers surpass him. The more important thing is that it would affect the matter of life and death in a battle.

本命蛊挑选的好，蛊师发展得就越顺利。本命蛊品质差，对于蛊师来讲，就会拖累修行，被同龄人赶超。最关键的，还会影响战斗这样的生死大事。

Fang Yuan was clear on this point, so he was not satisfied after choosing the Gu Yue village’s signature Moonlight Gu. He just had to go all the way to find the Liquor worm.

这点方源心知肚明，所以即便是选择了古月山寨中镇寨的月光蛊，他还不满意。千方百计地寻到了酒虫。

In his memory to a Rank one Gu Master, the Liquor worm was already considered a high quality pick. The Moonlight Gu was just a choice that was slightly above average.

在他记忆中，对一转新嫩蛊师来讲，酒虫已经是上等之选。月光蛊只能算是中上等。

But life is fascinating, because no one will ever know what is waiting for him or her at the next moment.

但人生之所以迷人，就是因为人们永远不知道，下一刻等待自己的是什么。

Fang Yuan had refined the Spring Autumn Cicada in his previous life. After his rebirth the Spring Autumn Cicada fell into a deep sleep, but the connection between them still existed.

方源在前世，炼化了春秋蝉。重生之后，春秋蝉陷入沉眠，但是这种炼化的关系，仍旧存在着。

In fact Fang Yuan found that, as if going through the refinement of the River of Time, his connection with the Spring Autumn Cicada had grown even closer and mysterious than his previous life. It was just because the Spring Autumn Cicada was too weak, so Fang Yuan was not aware of it.

并且似乎是经过光阴之河的洗练，方源发现，自己和春秋蝉之间的联系，比前世还要更加玄妙，更加紧密。只是因为春秋蝉太虚弱了，才导致方源没有觉察到它。

Therefore in the real sense, the Spring Autumn Cicada is the first Gu that he had refined.

所以，从真正意义上讲，春秋蝉是他第一只炼化的蛊虫。

The only thing was that the Spring Autumn Cicada was not refined in his current life, but the result of hard work in his previous life of 500 years.

只不过，春秋蝉不是方源今生所炼，而是他前世五百年努力的成果。

The Spring Autumn Cicada was Fang Yuan’s vital Gu.

春秋蝉就是方源的本命蛊。

A Rank one Gu Master, having a Rank six vital Gu!

一个一转蛊师，拥有六转的本命蛊！

If this sort of thing was said out loud, it is expected that no one would believe such a thing! This has already broken the limits of human cognition!

此事说出去，估计都不会有人相信！这已经打破世人认知的极限！

But yet, that is exactly what happened.

但这事，的的确切发生了。

The truth is beyond doubt.

事实是不容置疑的。

“The Liquor worm as a vital Gu is already one of the best choices, but when you compare it to the Spring Autumn Cicada, it is just like scum on the ground! My vital Gu in this life is actually the Spring Autumn Cicada, ha ha ha….”

“酒虫是本命蛊的上上之选，但是和春秋蝉一比较，它就是地上的泥渣！我今生的本命蛊竟然就是春秋蝉，哈哈哈……”

部分明白这是个时间挂，也是个推动力。

大家纷纷表示这有点啰嗦，说实话第一次读的时候我也这么认为，因为从头看的话，现在根本不懂6转蛊对1转蛊师的意义，对方源的狂喜没法那么的感同身受，当时的我甚至觉得这东西纯是个推动力，毕竟已经重生占据巨大优势没必要来第二次。

这里壮汉木棍，松鼠大山的确实稍啰嗦一些，后面蛊虫情妇的比喻老外好像也就更能理解了。
