Chapter 233: Back To That Key Moment ⑥

---

TL: Resonance

    接下来两三年，尚可和阎戮都在炼物比拼中渡过，两人互有输赢，但最终都是以虐狗模式结束。

For the next two to three years, Shang Ke and Yan Lu spent their time in refining competitions. They both have wins and losses, but ultimately ending it with dog abuse mode[1].

    随着可供兑换的物品越来越多，修真者们手上的积分却越来越少，只能眼巴巴地看着那些好东西被别人换走，众人集体商议后，纷纷要求尚可开放新的赚取积分的渠道。

As more and more items were available for exchange, the cultivators had lesser and lesser points and could only watch the goodies being exchanged away by other people. After everyone gathered to discuss, they all requested Shang Ke to give them more ways to earn points.

    尚可想了想，决定顺应众意，重新开放兑换渠道，除了材料之外，众人还能用各种图纸和配方赚取积分，每半年兑换一次。

Shang Ke thought about it, and decided to comply with their opinions and reopen the exchange channel. In addition to materials, people can also earn points using various drawings and recipes, and they could exchange every six months.

    越来越多的修真者涌入大影山，附近的城镇因为他们的到来，逐渐变得兴盛繁华。不少大门派也开始派人与尚可接触，以示交好之意。

More and more cultivators poured into the Great Shadow Mountain, and the nearby towns became prosperous because of their arrival. Many big sects began to send people to contact Shang Ke as a gesture of friendship.

    尚可光明正大地与修真者进行交易，虽然无法避免某些心怀叵测之人，但他们大多不敢上门找麻烦。因为大影山周围的防御阵又加厚了几层，高阶修真者也多了数倍。按照这种趋势继续发展下去，大影山很可能会变成不亚于其他名山大川的修真圣地。

Shang Ke openly traded with the cultivators, and although he could not avoid people with sinister intentions, most of them did not dare to look for trouble. Because the defensive array around the Great Shadow Mountain had been increased by several layers, and there were several times more high level cultivators. If this trend continued, it was likely that the Great Shadow Mountain would become a holy place of cultivation as good as other famous mountains and rivers.

    然而，世事无常。

However, nothing in the world was unchanging.

    尚可的丹药灵器让不少修真者突破瓶颈，先后进阶。因为阎戮的杀戮而一度陷入低迷的修者界迎来了新的转折，虽然目前只是激起了几朵小小的浪花，但众人都有一种拨云见日的喜悦感。

Shang Ke’s pills and weapons allowed many cultivators to break through their bottleneck and advance successively. The cultivation world which had been in a decline because of Yan Lu’s killing welcomed the new changes. Although only a few small waves had been stirred up so far, everyone had a sense of joy of finally being able to see the light.

    这种喜悦，直至七年后，终于达到高潮。

This joy finally reached its climax seven years later.

    有人要渡劫了，而且是三人同时渡劫。

Someone was about to experience heavenly tribulation, and it was three people at the same time.

    其中一人来自大门派，原本修为便已经达到分神期，只是一直没能突破瓶颈。几年前抱着试试的心态来到安闲茶寮，用几种稀有材料兑换了一颗九霄元阳丹，结果在两年后顺利进阶。

One of them was from a large sect. His cultivation had already reached the Separation Stage, just that he hadn’t been able to break through the bottleneck. A few years ago, he came to Resting Teahouse with the intention of trying, and exchanged some rare materials for a Nine Heavens Origin Pill, resulting in him successfully advancing two years later.

    另外两人皆为散修，也是当年最先发现安闲茶寮的修真者丁七余和华塍二人。两人与安闲茶寮缘分不浅，受到尚可与阎戮的影响，在不久后结为双修伴侣，修为一日千里。（真的是一“日”千里……）

The other two were both individual cultivators, and were also the first two cultivators who discovered the Resting Teahouse, Ding Qiyu and Hua Cheng. They were quite fated with the Resting Teahouse. Influenced by Shang Ke and Yan Lu, they soon became dual cultivation partners, and their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. (It truly was by leaps and bounds.[2])

    三人碰巧在同一天渡劫。

The three of them just happened to experience the heavenly tribulation on the same day.

    大影山上空，风云变色，黑雾翻腾，一道道金色闪电在云雾中时隐时现，巨大的威压带着雷霆之怒，压得众人喘不过气来，如同末日降临。

In the sky above the Great Shadow Mountain, the wind and clouds changed color and was swirled with black fog. Golden lightning flashed in the clouds from time to time. The great pressure carried the fury of thunder, causing everyone to feel suffocated as if the end of the world was coming.

    所有元婴期以下的修真者全部退避三千里，留下来的修真者，无一不是高手中的高手。

All the cultivators below the YuanYing stage all retreated three thousand miles away, and those who remained were all experts amongst experts.

    尚可原本对于天劫的出现并没有太过在意，虽然发生在大影山，但针对的主要是渡劫者，其他人只有修为足够，即可在劫阵之外观看渡劫过程。

Shang Ke originally did not pay much attention to the appearance of the heavenly tribulation. Although it happened in the Great Shadow Mountain, it was mainly aimed at those who were about to undergo the tribulation, and those who had sufficient cultivation level can watch the tribulation process from outside the tribulation range.

    但是，当天劫即将发动时，尚可逐渐意识到不对。

However, when the heavenly tribulation was about to start, Shang Ke gradually realized that something was wrong.

    首先是阎戮的反应，只见他脸上青筋暴露，体内神力紊乱，杀戮之气汹涌澎湃，一道道劲风，在两人周围快速盘旋，俨然一副如临大敌的模样。

First, it was Yan Lu’s reaction. The veins on his face could be seen and his body’s divine power was in disorder. His murderous aura was surging, and a strong wind was rapidly circling around the two of them, just as if he was facing a great enemy.

    其次是劫云的位置。三朵劫云如同受到某种力量的牵引一般，向着阎戮所在的区域涌来，逐渐在他头顶上形成了一个新的天劫。

The second was the position of the tribulation clouds. As if drawn by some kind of force, the three tribulation clouds surged toward the area where Yan Lu was, gradually forming a new heavenly tribulation above him.

    尚可惊诧的同时，脑中骤然浮现两个字：“天谴”！

Shang Ke was shocked, and two words suddenly appeared in his mind: “Divine retribution”!

    他推测过各种可能，却没想到天谴竟然会以这种形式降临。借天劫之威，惩罚负罪之人。更可怕的是，三劫同现，若过不去，阎戮必然会魂飞魄散。

He had speculated about all sorts of possibilities, but had never thought that the divine retribution would come in this form. It used the power of the heavenly tribulation to punish those who were guilty. What was even more frightening was that three tribulations appeared at the same time. If Yan Lu couldn’t overcome it, his soul would definitely scatter.

    “小蘑菇，离开这里！”阎戮血气翻腾，双目赤红，用极度压抑的声音提醒尚可。

“Little Mushroom, leave this place!” Yan Lu’s blood was raging, his eyes red, and he reminded Shang Ke in an extremely suppressed voice.

    “少啰嗦，准备渡劫吧！”尚可从储物戒中拿出几颗灵丹，分别塞入自己和阎戮的嘴中。

“Quit talking, prepare for the tribulation!” Shang Ke took out a few pills from his storage ring and stuffed them into his and Yan Lu’s mouth. 

    他这些年收集材料，炼制丹药，结交修士，为的就是这一天！

He had collected materials, refined pills, and made friends with cultivators all these years all for this day!

    随即，尚可用六件上品灵器组合成一个防御阵，接着，又将阎戮当年炼制的那把准仙器递到他手上。

Then, Shang Ke formed a defensive array with six high grade weapons. Next, he handed to Yan Lu the quasi-immortal weapon he had refined that year.

    阎戮却拒绝了：“我担心自己会失去控制，陷入杀戮魔障。拿着这件武器，恐怕会伤到你。”

However, Yan Lu rejected it: “I’m afraid I’ll lose control and fall into the killing devil’s influence. If I hold this weapon, I’m afraid I might hurt you.”

    尚可点头表示会意，将这件准仙器握在了自己手上。

Shang Ke nodded his head in understanding and held the quasi-immortal weapon in his hand.

    正当此时，天劫发动，数十道蛇形闪电破空而下，形成一片电雨。天地轰鸣，山石震动，巨大的气波向四周荡开。远远观看的修真者都感到一阵心悸，更别说正在历劫的四人。

At this moment, the Heavenly Tribulation started, and dozens of snake-shaped lightning bolts struck down through the sky, forming a rain of electricity. The sky and earth roared, the rocks and mountains shook, and huge waves of air swept out in all directions. All the cultivators who watched from afar felt their heart skip a beat, not to mention the four who were facing the tribulation.

    第二道闪电、第三道闪电紧接而至，威力一次比一次强大。

The second and third bolt of lightning followed, each more powerful than the last.

    旁观的修真者们很快发现异常，为什么大部分闪电都对着阎戮和尚可所在的方位劈落？他们根本没有要渡劫啊！难道天劫也会射偏吗？！

The cultivators who were watching quickly discovered the abnormality. Why were most of the lightning strikes directed at Yan Lu and Shang Ke’s location? They weren’t supposed to be experiencing the heavenly tribulation! Could the heavenly tribulation also miss?!

    轰隆！一声声巨响，仿佛击在心头，让人忍不住颤栗。

Boom! A loud sound, as if hitting their heart, made the people tremble.

    远处山石震裂，草木飞屑，似有神灵正在挥舞大锤，毁天灭地。

In the distance, the mountain rocks shattered, and the grass and trees were flying, as if a god was wielding a sledgehammer and destroying the world.

    阎戮浑身浴血，眼神时而清明时而混沌，呼吸极其紊乱。

Yan Lu was covered in blood, his eyes sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic, and his breathing was extremely disordered.

    尚可在旁辅助，利用灵器和阵法，抵挡天劫的攻击。然而三劫同发的威力，远远超过了他的预计。不过数息之间，他便受了不轻的内伤。

Shang Ke assisted by the side, using weapons and arrays to resist the attack of the heavenly tribulation. However, the power of the three heavenly tribution coming at the same time far exceeded his expectations. In just a few moments, he suffered considerable internal injuries.

    阎戮比他更加严重，他不仅要抵抗天谴，还要克制心魔，内外交困，濒临崩溃的边缘。

It was even more serious for Yan Lu. Not only did he have to resist the heavenly tribulations, he also had to restrain his inner demon. Having to fight both internally and externally, he was on the verge of collapse.

    眼看第五波、第六波闪电即将落下，尚可正准备全力以赴，忽然感觉周围压力一减，闪电在半空中炸开，层层削弱，落到近前时，已经只剩下三成余威。

Seeing that the fifth and sixth waves of lightning were about to fall, Shang Ke was about to go all out, when he suddenly felt the pressure around him decrease. The lightning exploded in mid-air, weakening layer by layer. By the time it reached them, there was only 30% of its power remaining.

    尚可心中诧异，灵识一动，才明白发生了什么事。

Shang Ke was surprised in his heart, and only after his spiritual sense moved did he understand what had happened.

    在大影山附近潜修的修真者相继开启了各自布置的防御阵，联合起来，为两人抵挡天劫。

The cultivators in the vicinity of the Great Shadow Mountain activated their respective defensive array one after another, and united to defend the two against the heavenly tribulation.

    随着他们的动作，更多的修真者加入其中，防御层层叠加，形成一座坚固的壁垒。不过他们的修为大多还没有达到分神期，对抗天劫极其勉强，每道防御被破，都会有一人重伤退出。等到九重天劫发动时，已经无人敢与天威抗衡。

Following their movements, more cultivators joined in and their defenses layered on top of each other, forming a strong barrier. However, most of their cultivation had not yet reached the Separation Stage, and they were barely able to resist the Heavenly Tribulation. Every time a layer of defense was broken, one of them would retreat with a serious injury. By the time the ninth Heavenly Tribulation strikes, no one dared to fight with the might of Heaven.

    众人只能在心中默默为尚可和阎戮两人祈福。

The people could only pray for Shang Ke and Yan Lu silently in their hearts.

    九重天威轰然直下，凌厉的寒光骤然闪耀，所有人下意识闭上眼睛。

The ninth strike came crashing down and the fierce cold light suddenly shone. Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.

    只听轰地一声，大地震颤，劲风如镰刀一般，刮过皮肤，传来一阵阵刺痛。

A loud boom can be heard. The ground trembled, and the wind was like a sickle, cutting across the skin and causing a stinging pain.

    不过片刻，震颤停止，一切归于平静。众人缓缓睁开眼，首先看到一片半弧形的白光，若隐若现地浮在半空中。

A moment later, the trembling stopped and everything became calm. The people slowly opened their eyes, and the first thing they saw was a white light in the shape of an arc faintly floating in mid-air.

    在天劫之威力下，居然还能维持运转，这是何其强大的防御力？而且……

Just how powerful is its defense that it can still maintain its operation under the power of the heavenly tribulation? And… 

    “不知道是不是我的错觉，我怎么觉得那个防御罩看起来很像一朵……蘑菇？”一名修真者突然开口道。

“I don’t know if it’s just me, but why do I think that defense shield looks like a… mushroom?” A cultivator suddenly said.

    “我想不是错觉，那确实是一朵蘑菇。”他的同伴肯定了他的判断。

“I don’t think it’s just you, it really is a mushroom.” His companion affirmed his judgment.

    随着雾气散去，一朵硕大的蘑菇清晰地出现在众人眼前，白光闪烁，如同女王一般，傲立天地，睥睨众生。

As the mist cleared, a large mushroom clearly appeared in front of everyone’s eyes. Its white light shining like a queen, standing proudly in the world and looking down upon all beings.

    尚可无力地坐在土坑中，看了看手上这件准仙器，又看了看晕倒在身边的阎戮，半晌无语。

Shang Ke sat weakly in the pit. He looked at the quasi-immortal weapon in his hand, then looked at Yan Lu who fainted beside him, and was speechless for a long time.

    这家伙居然将准仙器的防御壁设计成了蘑菇形！并非他看不起蘑菇，而蘑菇的圆润可爱与准仙器威武霸气的画风完全不符好吗？

This guy actually designed the defense shield of the quasi-Immortal weapon into the shape of a mushroom! It’s not that he looks down on mushrooms. It’s just that the roundness and cuteness of mushrooms completely doesn’t match with the powerful and domineering image of the quasi immortal weapon okay?

    这个蘑菇控，真是没药治了。

This mushroom-con is really incurable.

    尚可收起半损的准仙器，然后背上阎戮，走入事先建好的地下室。

Shang Ke put away the half-damaged quasi immortal weapon, then carried Yan Lu on his back and walked into the basement he built in advance.

    阎戮的情况不太好，一身修为化为乌有，伤势惨重，气息奄奄。但尚可心里却是高兴的，没错，看到自己男人只剩半条命，他竟然还很高兴。因为阎戮的伤势越重，意味着天谴结束的时间越短，存活的几率也越大。

Yan Lu’s condition was not that great. All of his cultivation vanished, he was badly injured and was breathing very weakly. But Shang Ke was happy in his heart. That’s right, he was happy to see his man being just barely alive. Because the more serious Yan Lu’s injuries were, the shorter the time the divine retribution would last and the greater the chance of survival.

    尚可仔细帮阎戮清理了一下，又喂他吃下治疗丹，然后扶他躺在床上，陪他一起沉睡。

Shang Ke carefully cleaned up Yan Lu, fed him the treatment pills, then helped him lie down on the bed and slept with him.

    睡着前，他还在心里琢磨，等伤势稍稍恢复，他要好好感谢那些仗义相助的修士们……

Before he fell asleep, he was still thinking to himself that when their injuries recovered slightly, he would thank those cultivators who came to their rescue… 

    因为损耗过度，尚可沉睡了三天才醒来。但他醒来后，却发现阎戮不见了，桌上只留下了一张纸条，上面写着四个字：我想静静。

Because he had over exhausted himself, Shang Ke slept for three days before waking up. But when he woke up, he found that Yan Lu was gone. Only a note was left on the table with five words written on it: I want to be alone.

    静你个毛！静静是谁啊！有蘑菇帅吗？不就是修为被毁了吗？有什么好想的！

Alone my ass! Who is Jing Jing[3]? Is it as handsome as a mushroom? Wasn’t it just your cultivation being destroyed? What’s there to think about!

    尚可将纸条撕了个粉碎，他还不知道，阎戮不只是修为被毁，而是再也无法修行。这对向来高傲的他而言，无疑是一个巨大的打击。他可以心狠手辣，也可以弃恶从善，甚至敢与天命为敌，唯独无法忍受自己成为一无是处的废人，不仅无法保护小蘑菇，还会成为他的累赘。

Shang Ke tore the note into shreds. He still didn’t know that it wasn’t just Yan Lu’s cultivation being destroyed, but that he would never be able to cultivate again. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Yan Lu who had always been arrogant. He could be ruthless, he could abandon evil and be kind instead, he also dared to fight against the fate of heaven, but the only thing he could not bear was the thought of becoming a good-for-nothing waste. Not only would he be unable to protect Little Mushroom, he would also become a burden to him.

    阎戮拖着疲惫的身体，缓步走在满目苍夷的山林间，眼中充满不甘与愤怒。

Yan Lu dragged his weary body and walked slowly along the destroyed mountain and forest, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

    “啊——可恶！”一拳砸在树干上，阎戮脸色铁青：MD，痛死老子了！

“Ah—damn it!” A fist punched the tree trunk, and Yan Lu’s face turned ashen: Fuck, that hurts!

    他僵硬地收回手，垂首沉默，一身落寞。

He withdrew his hand stiffly, and hung his head in silence, looking very lonely.

    不知过了多久，阎戮忽然抬起头，脸上的失落消失无踪，取而代之的是一片茫然。

It was unknown how long had passed, but Yan Lu suddenly raised his head. The loss on his face disappeared and was replaced by bewilderment.

    他环顾四周，感觉环境十分陌生，完全不知道自己身在何处。

He looked around and felt that his surroundings were very unfamiliar. He had completely no idea where he was.

    “小蘑菇，小蘑菇……”阎戮四处寻找那道熟悉的身影，不停呼唤他的名字。

“Little Mushroom, Little Mushroom…” Yan Lu looked around for the familiar figure and kept calling his name.

    正在这时，一道白影从树丛中跳出来，冲着阎戮手舞足蹈。

At this moment, a white shadow jumped out from the bushes and jumped about at Yan Lu.

    “兔子……”阎戮想起来了，小蘑菇告诉过他，如果迷路了，就打开挂在脖子上的锦囊。

 “Rabbit…” Yan Lu remembered. Little Mushroom had told him before that if he got lost, he should open the pouch hanging around his neck.

    阎戮从锦囊中取出一块绸布，上面写着三条锦囊妙计。

Yan Lu took out a piece of silk cloth from the pouch, on which three solutions were written on it.

    他自动滤过前面两条，按照第三条所说，拿出储物戒中的通讯符，将其捏碎，然后蹲在原地，安静等待。

He automatically filtered out the first two. Following the third solution, he took out the communication talisman in his storage ring and crushed it. Then, he squatted on the spot and waited quietly.

    时间过得十分缓慢，每过一刻，阎戮的恐惧便加深一层，仿佛整个世界只剩下他一人。

Time passed very slowly, and with each passing moment, Yan Lu’s fear increased, as if he were the only one left in the world.

    小蘑菇，小蘑菇，小蘑菇……

Little Mushroom, Little Mushroom, Little Mushroom… 

    不知过了多久，耳边突然传来树叶的沙沙声，阎戮猛地抬起头，看到那个熟悉的身影正在向他走来。

It was unknown how long had passed, but suddenly, the rustling of leaves could be heard. Yan Lu suddenly raised his head and saw that familiar figure walking towards him.

    他毫不犹豫地冲过去，紧紧抱住来人。

He rushed over without hesitation and hugged the person tightly.

    “小鹿？”又精分了吗？尚可抱着他，轻轻安抚。

“Little Deer?” Did he switch personality again? Shang Ke hugged him and gently comforted him.

    待他心绪平复后，尚可数落道：“看你以后还想不想静静！”

After he had calmed down, Shang Ke reproached, “Let’s see if you still want to be alone in the future!”

    阎戮一脸疑惑：“静静是谁？”

Yan Lu looked puzzled: “Who is Jing Jing[3]?”

    尚可：“那是一个总在别人烦躁时冒出来刷存在感、看似无所不能其实毫无作为的懒货。”

Shang Ke: “That’s a lazy guy who always pops up when someone is feeling irritated. He seems like he can do everything but actually does nothing.”

    “那我肯定不会想，我喜欢无所不能的小蘑菇。”

“Then I definitely would not think. I like Little Mushroom who can do anything.”

    尚可：“……”

Shang Ke: “…”

    晚上回到家，尚可一边帮阎戮擦背，一边对他说：“小鹿，无论你变成什么样子，我都会留在你身边。”

When they returned home at night, Shang Ke helped wipe Yan Lu’s back as he said to him, “Little Deer, no matter what you have become, I will stay by your side.”

    阎戮的身体一僵，随即只听他道：“我已经变成一个废人，以后恐怕再也无法修炼了。”

Yan Lu’s body stiffened. Then, Shang Ke heard him say, “I have become a waste. I’m afraid I will never be able to cultivate again.”

    “那又如何？”

“So what?”

    “无法修炼意味着要经历凡人的生老病死，只剩下几十年寿命的我，如何与你相守？”

“Being unable to cultivate means that I will experience a mortal’s life, sickness and death. How can I stay with you when I only have a few decades left to live?”

    “阎戮，就算这一世只能相守几十年，但我们还有下一世。无论你轮回多少次，我都会找到你。所以，不要难受，不要放弃，只有灵魂不灭，我们的缘分便不会断。”

“Yan Lu, even if we can only stay together for a few decades in this life, we still have a next life. No matter how many times you reincarnate, I will find you. So, don’t feel bad and don’t give up. Our fate will never be broken as long as our soul doesn’t disappear.”

    “但是，等到下一世，我就不记得你了。与你渡过的每一天，都是我最珍贵的财富。”

“But when the next life comes, I won’t remember you. Every day I spent with you is my most precious treasure.”

    “我会帮你记住，然后再和你一起创造新的记忆。”

“I will help you remember, then create new memories with you.”

    阎戮转过头，深深凝视着尚可，仿佛要将他刻入灵魂。

Yan Lu turned his head and gazed deeply at Shang Ke, as if to carve him into his soul.

    “阎戮，我突然有一个想法，等我们养好伤，就将这里一切抛下，去外面游历如何？”

“Yan Lu, I suddenly have an idea. After we recover, how about we leave everything here behind and travel outside?”

    “嗯，听你的。”

“Mnn, I will listen to you.”

    一个月后，尚可广发请柬，诚邀四方修士，用存余的丹药和灵器换取了几千银两和几个储物空间的中下品材料。这种价格几乎与白送无异。众人都明白他是在表示感谢，便也没有拒绝，想着反正以后还有交好的机会。

A month later, Shang Ke sent out invitations widely, inviting cultivators from all four directions, and exchanged his remaining pills and weapons for a few thousand silver taels and low and middle grade materials enough to fill a few storage spaces. This pricing was almost as good as giving them away for nothing. Everyone understood that he was expressing his gratitude, so they did not refuse, thinking that there would be opportunities for friendship in the future anyway.

    直到数月后，众人才发现尚可和阎戮不知何时已经离开了大影山，从此行踪成谜。

It wasn’t until several months later when they realized that Shang Ke and Yan Lu had left the Great Shadow Mountain at some point, and their whereabouts were unknown since then.

    不久之后，凡人聚集的城镇中，出现了两位悬壶济世的行脚大夫，他们医术高明，为贫苦百姓免费治疗，不知救治了多少人的性命。

Not long after, in the towns where mortals gathered, two doctors who travelled on foot appeared. They have great medical skills and provided free medical treatment to the poor, saving countless people’s lives.

    此二人正是尚可和阎戮。他们四海为家，光游天下，一边寻找重修之法，一边悬壶济世，以医修德。没有锦衣玉食，叱咤风云，唯有风餐露宿，两袖清风。

These two people were Shang Ke and Yan Lu. With everywhere as their home, they traveled the world in search of a way to cultivate again. At the same time, they made use of their medical skills to help the world and accumulate good deeds. They didn’t have lavish clothes and food. They went all over the world, ate in the wind, slept in the open and were very poor.

    昔日意气风发的阎戮，褪去一身戾气，静心享受人生，直到年华老去，尚可依然俊逸如昔，风采依旧。

Yan Lu, who had been so energetic and daring in the past, got rid of his hostility and quietly enjoyed his life until he was old. However, Shang Ke was still as handsome and elegant as before, his style unchanging.

    “小蘑菇，我很抱歉。”阎戮坐在小舟上，望着远处缓缓移动的山峦，突然开口说道。

“Little Mushroom, I’m very sorry.” Yan Lu sat on the boat, looking at the slowly moving mountain range in the distance and suddenly said.

    “为什么要道歉？”

“Why are you apologizing?”

    “前世因今世果，若非我杀孽太多，又怎会连累你和我一起受苦？”

“Whatever happened in this life is affected by what happened in our last life. If I hadn’t killed too many people in my past life, how could I have dragged you into suffering with me this life?”

    “你觉得苦吗？”尚可一手握着鱼竿，一手搭在屈起的膝盖上，偏头望着他。

“Do you feel that you have suffered?” Shang Ke held the fishing rod in one hand and rested the other on his bent knee, looking at him with a tilted head.

    阎戮一愣，回想过去几十年的经历，然后笑了：“嗯，不苦。”

Yan Lu was stunned. He recalled his experiences for the past few decades, then smiled and said, “Mnn, I don’t.”

    所以说嘛，不要伤春悲秋。尚可白了一眼，又将注意力转移到鱼漂上。

That’s why, don’t be sad. Shang Ke gave a look and turned his attention back to the fishing rod.

    过了片刻，又听阎戮苍老的声音传来：“小蘑菇，记住你的承诺，我们相约来世，还有……”

After a while, he heard Yan Lu’s old voice again: “Little mushroom, remember your promise, we will meet in the next life, and…”

    我爱你。

I love you.

    声音至此消失。

The voice disappeared.

    尚可没有回头，只有两行眼泪缓缓滑过脸颊。

Shang Ke did not look back, but two lines of tears slowly slid down his cheeks.

    尽管知道他们还有相见的机会，但他还是难受得无法自已。这个男人每一世都要痛苦地经历他的死亡，这一世终于轮到他了……

Even though he knew they still had a chance to meet again, he still felt so sad he couldn’t control himself. This man had to painfully experience seeing his death in every life, and in this life, it was finally his turn…

    阎戮死后，尚可将他安葬在绝壁之下，然后自毁修为，化为一棵蘑菇，种在他的坟头，小兔子成为了他们的守护灵兽。

After Yan Lu died, Shang Ke buried him under a cliff. Then, he destroyed his own cultivation and turned into a mushroom, planting himself on Yan Lu’s grave. The rabbit became their guardian spirit beast.

    千年后，新的蘑菇妖诞生，被狡猾的兔子早早收入囊中，成就了一段另类情缘……

After a thousand years, a new mushroom demon was born. It was picked up early by the cunning rabbit, creating another love story… 

Footnotes:

[1] Lots of love and plenty of abuse for single people.

[2] 一日千里 – The meaning itself is by leaps and bounds. 日 is also sometimes used to express having sex which was the pun intended in the brackets.

[3] 我想静静 – In the note Yan Lu wrote 我想静静, meaning he wished to be alone. 想 on its own can mean think or miss, so Shang Ke was roasting Yan Lu, questioning what is there for him to ‘think’ about. 静静 is pronounced Jing Jing which Shang Ke made a pun asking who is Jing Jing because Yan Lu had written “I ‘miss’ Jing Jing”
