Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 128: A century of cultivation leads to crossing in the same boat

The ferry stayed in Shuanlong Port for half a day, and at dusk, it slowly set sail and sailed along the Qingdu River channel to Linyuan City, thousands of miles away.

Ninety percent of the ships were monks, most of whom were Independent Cultivators. They were unfamiliar with each other and had little contact with each other. Most of them stayed in their rooms.

The specifications of the ferry boat rooms cannot be the same. As a princess, Jiang Yi received preferential treatment. The room was much larger than the others and had more furnishings. It was a suite with an elegant environment.

At this time, in the large room, three women and one man gathered around the round table, looking seriously at the little bird dumpling who had caused trouble.

Tuanzi stood neatly beside the teacup, looking at Tang Jingxun with dark eyes, and made a 'cheep' from time to time, probably saying 'Niao Niao knows it's wrong'.

Tang Jingxun was weak and tired from sitting, so she leaned forward, put her heavy chest on the table, and supported her cheeks with her hands, and said in disbelief:

"Little Zuo, can this little broken bird really breathe fire?"

Zuo Lingquan sat between Jiang Yi and Wu Qingwan, nodding seriously:

"Really, a lot of people saw it just now, and almost roasted the snake."

Jiang Yi held her cheeks in both hands, and carefully looked at the plump dumpling: "Its mouth is so small, can it eat snakes?"

"Ji~" Tuanzi nodded like a pounding garlic.

Wu Qingwan's posture was more dignified. She did not put her heavier chest on the table to reduce the load. She just sat on a round stool and supported the side of her face with the back of her hand:

"It's really smart. It's a bit like a spirit beast. But spirit beasts all have the Divine Ability. What Divine Ability does Tuanzi have?"

Zuo Lingquan said: "Spraying fire should be considered a Divine Ability, but the flame is too small, so it can only be used for lighting lamps."

Tang Jingxun had let the dumplings eat and drink for free for so many years. She knew that this lazy little bird finally had some skills and had a feeling of "hoping for a child to become a dragon". She moved the lamp stand on the table and grabbed the dumplings and brought them to her:

"It's okay if you can light a lamp. At least you can save some flint. Come on, light the lamp."

"grumble?"

The dumpling was a little aggrieved, and seemed unwilling to do such a thing of throwing the bird, but Tang Jingxun glared, and it obediently approached the wick and opened its beak.

call--

A small red flame appeared, only half the length of a finger, and it was sprayed crookedly. It did not light the wick, but rather burned the copper lampstand.

The objects in the room are all prepared for secular officials. The lampstand is only made of brass, but it can be burned in one go. This flame is obviously not simple.

Wu Qingwan sat up straighter, and looked closely:

"It can really breathe fire. Even brass can't hold it. It's not like ordinary fire. If it is sprayed for a long time, ordinary Law Weapon Spiritual Weapon may not be able to withstand burning."

Zuo Lingquan also thought this was the case and asked in confusion: "Why haven't I seen it spitting fire before?"

Jiang Yi guessed: "Maybe like ordinary birds and beasts, they only shine their claws when hunting. The flame temperature is so high, so the consumption is naturally not small. No wonder it knows how to eat in a day."

Tang Jingxuan saw that the dumplings couldn't even light up the lamp, and he was a little uninterested. He looked at it over and over for a while, and suddenly remembered something, patted the table lightly, and said:

"Tuanzi! Did you set off the fire in Linhefang by running around?"

"grumble?!"

Tuanzi was stunned for a moment, looking at his master in disbelief, and then shook his head like a rattle.

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and explained for Tuanzi: "The first big fire was when Sister Tang was just born. Tuanzi hadn't run to the wine shop at that time. It must not have been caused by it. I guess it has something to do with the phoenix underground."

When Jiang Yi heard this, her heart moved, and she said:

"This bird can't be the same as Jingxun, is it a phoenix?"

Tuanzi spread out his little wings again and assumed the shape of a flying phoenix. Unfortunately, his chubby appearance made it look a bit out of place for a bird.

Tang Jingxun didn't believe it, so he raised his hand to pick up the dumplings:

"It's not that I haven't seen a phoenix before. The big phoenix on the Phoenix Resting Valley last time has nine long tails and a crown on its head. It's so beautiful and beautiful. Look how stupid it is, doesn't it?"

The three of them looked at it carefully and nodded slowly, feeling that they didn't look much alike.

"grumble?"

Seeing Tuanzi's pitiful appearance, Zuo Lingquan sighed softly: "It's still young, maybe it will become a phoenix when it grows up, but in the future, don't eat or run around, if it is caught, something serious will happen." Son."

"Do you hear me? If you run around again, I'll find a rope to tie you up."

"grumble……"

There was a smile in Wu Qingwan's Qiushui eyes. After looking at it for a moment, she remembered that Zuo Lingquan also had pets and asked:

"Ling Quan, isn't that little insect of yours also a spiritual beast?"

Zuo Lingquan these days, he lets the little beetles breathe every few days, and feeds them some worthless elixirs and the like. Apart from adding some harmless poison, he doesn’t see any Divine Ability. He shook his head and said :

"It's just a little poisonous bug, not like a spirit beast, not as powerful as a dumpling."

"oh……"

…

The four of them looked around the dumpling, and apart from finding it cute, they didn't see anything special about it.

When Wu Qingwan saw the ship sailing, Qiu Shui's eyes moved slightly, as if she remembered something. The smile on her face faded a bit. After saying hello, she got up and left the room alone.

Zuo Lingquan and Wu Qingwan have known each other for so long, and noticed the slight change in Wu Qingwan's expression, after thinking about it, she also got up and walked out of the room.

——

The ferry sailed, the aisle was empty, and everyone was resting in the room.

Zuo Lingquan searched around, and finally saw Wu Qingwan alone at the corner of the viewing corridor outside the ship building overlooking the river.

The Qingdu River is very wide, even if it is a large-scale ferry, it is like a flat boat in it. The sky is getting darker, and the mountains and rivers along the river gradually become blurred as they recede. The most eye-catching scenery is the setting sun at the end of the mountains and rivers, and the burning sunset glow in the sky.

The red glow after the rain has cleared up shines on the carefully carved viewing verandah. Wu Qingwan's cloud-white dress is also dyed with a faint red like the sunset on the horizon, dancing lightly with the river breeze.

Wu Qingwan stood by the fence, her jade-like face facing the sunset, her autumn eyes looking into the distance, in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Zuo Lingquan walked slowly to the side, first glanced at the lower river view, then moved his gaze to the side face that was more beautiful than the river view, and asked:

"Senior Wu, why did you suddenly run out alone?"

Wu Qingwan folded her hands on her waist and looked into the distance for a long time before saying softly:

"Ling Quan, if we go out this time, will you come back?"

Zuo Lingquan raised the corners of his lips: "I will definitely come back. Why do you ask about this?"

"A lot of people came out of Dadan in the past. Before leaving, they all thought about returning home in fine clothes one day. But when they went outside and saw the big world, they no longer looked down on the small place in Dadan. They never came back. Those who were interested knew how to ask the caravan to take them with them. One letter, and most people are lost in the ocean, never to be found again.”

Zuo Lingquan went out for a trip. Although he had not yet reached the center of the Great Yan Dynasty, he had already seen the colorful world outside and the opportunities everywhere. Compared with it, the Great Dan Dynasty was really no different from a barren land. He had heard Wu Qingwan say before that a relative outside saw Wu Qingwan in a bad mood and asked:

"I remember Senior Wu said before, is there a relative here?"

Wu Qingwan blinked: "Have I said that before?"

"As I said, on the third day after I gave you the bellyband, we rode the white crane to Donghua City together. You said it when we were in the sky."

"You have a good memory."

"I was wearing a bellyband at the time, and I wanted to ask Senior Wu if he had worn it, but it was hard to ask, so I still remember it."

"well……"

Wu Qingwan raised her hands and tightened her clothes. She didn't answer the question. She thought about it for a while and then said:

"I went to Qihuang Valley before because of the recommendation of my elders. My second uncle is also a practitioner and used to be a disciple of Qihuang Valley. You and the fourth uncle went to Linyuan City together back then; your fourth uncle, in When I was participating in the selection, I was maimed by someone. For the sake of my own safety, I had to leave early...

…My second uncle was lucky. I heard that he met a noble man and was picked up by a large sect, but there has been no news since then. My father and the others were worried, and I didn’t dare to tell my family about it. , I just said that practicing a religion is different from the ordinary world, and it is normal to stay in seclusion for several years...I don’t know if the second uncle is like other people who go out, and has forgotten the world, or..."

When Wu Qingwan said this, there was some worry in her eyes. She may have already had speculations in her heart, but it was a matter of life and death for her family members. Before the news was confirmed, she must have been lucky.

Although Zuo Lingquan has not had much contact with spiritual practice, he has long understood the cruelty of spiritual practice. It is very normal for something to happen if there is no one to rely on when going out.

He thought for a while, stood a little closer, raised his arms and put his arms around Wu Qingwan's shoulders, and comforted her softly:

"For such a big matter as the Nine Sects Alliance, since it was picked up by the sect, there must be clues. When I get to Linyuan City, I will find a way to investigate. There is also the matter of the fourth uncle, I will find a way if I have the chance. Settle the bill."

Wu Qingwan was hugged by the shoulders and rarely resisted. She only turned her head and glanced at the viewing gallery to make sure that no one was paying attention, and then reprimanded softly:

"We must find someone, but don't have the idea of ​​avenging your fourth uncle. This is not a world. It has been so many years, and even your fourth uncle has looked away. There is no need for you to find a place."

"I mean if there is a chance, if there is no chance, I will definitely not do anything."

"You think I don't know your temperament? You have to act haphazardly even if you don't have the chance to create opportunities."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan really couldn't refute, he smiled softly and didn't say anything more. He just hugged the beauty and looked at the sunset and sunset in the distance.

Wu Qingwan maintained the dignified look of an elder, but after standing for a while, she didn't know if she was a little tired from standing, so she moved closer intentionally or unintentionally, and rested her cheek on Zuo Lingquan's shoulder.

The wind on the Susu River blew the fiery red clouds, and the men and women in white leaned together against the glow, and sailed together in the same boat towards the unknown in the distance.

As the saying goes, "One hundred years of cultivation can lead to the same boat", Wu Qingwan doesn't know if other people are like this, but she has indeed cultivated for forty years before she came to this moment that she can't tell others...
