Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 211 Grandma Toffee Is Addicted

From winter to spring, in the streets and alleys of the capital, thousands of willows sprouted buds in the breeze.

Hundreds of flowers bloomed in the countryside, literati set up painting desks by the river and painted vigorously. Young girls who came for an outing secretly peered among the red flowers and green willows. Horses, fragrant carriages, flowered umbrellas and beautiful clothes stretched from the east gate of the capital to Jade City. Outside the Temple of Agriculture on Fengshan Mountain.

All major dynasties in the secular world would sacrifice to the God of Agriculture on the third day of March every year to pray for good weather and abundant harvests this year. Most of the people who performed the sacrificial ceremony were queens.

There were "two saints" in the Dayan Dynasty, and the empress basically had no right to speak, so this task naturally fell on the head of the empress dowager.

The bell of Yufeng Mountain rang, and on the thousand-step long ladder, the Imperial Forest Army and palace officials bowed their heads respectfully on both sides.

A beautiful woman in palace attire in a golden dress, wearing a phoenix crown on her head, slowly stepped up a thousand stone steps in the gentle spring breeze, without rushing.

Behind the beautiful woman were the concubines, princesses, and princesses of the Zhou royal family, and Jiang Yi also walked among them with a serious expression. After that, there are imperial orders and the female relatives of ordinary families, and there is no end in sight.

Jiang Yi had also presided over sacrifices in Dadan before, and knew the rules very well. Walking behind Shangguan Lingye, she didn't have any stage fright, but looked at the Crown Princess in front of her with some confusion.

Sacrificing sacrifices to the God of Agriculture is of great significance. It is related to the food and clothing of the people of the country. No king dares to ignore it. Before Jiang Yi came here today, he burned incense and took a bath. He was afraid that if something went wrong during the sacrifice, God would be dissatisfied and punish the people.

As the host of the sacrifice, the Crown Princess in front of her was a little careless. When she was preparing to set off in the morning, she unexpectedly found the Crown Princess walking dumplings and cats in the garden, looking like a coward obsessed with sensuality.

That's all. On the overland journey in the phoenix chariot, he didn't maintain a dignified and solemn appearance. Maybe he felt that the journey was boring, so he actually studied the style of bellybands in the carriage.

If Jiang Yi guessed correctly, under the majestic phoenix skirt of the Crown Princess, she was wearing stockings with garters, flower carps, and maybe even the small triangular underwear with hollow lace that she had recently figured out these days.

This was not a sacrifice, it was simply blasphemous. Jiang Yi was afraid that the Crown Princess would be struck by lightning while walking, so she subconsciously kept some distance.

The team walked slowly up the mountain and gradually arrived outside the Temple of Agriculture.

Although Shangguan Lingye was dressed sluttishly under the phoenix skirt, his expression was still majestic and solemn in front of the people and officials. He took the edict in honor of the God of Agriculture from the hands of the palace maid and read it out loudly.

But Jiang Yi could still vaguely hear the "perfunctory going through the motions" that came from her heart. She couldn't help but secretly worry, coughing softly, trying to remind Shangguan Lingye.

Shangguan Lingye heard it, but still didn't care.

Because this is the territory of Tiedong Mansion, the statue of 'Lord Peach Blossom' in the Temple of Agriculture has no spiritual thoughts left at all.

Not to mention offering sacrifices, she just asked Zuo Lingquan to run over and touch his breasts twice. Lord Peach Blossom couldn't even feel it. It was just a formality...

——

Taohuatan is good at farming and weaving. At first, he studied various spiritual grasses, fairy fruits, and fairy robes. However, as time went by, he would inevitably develop varieties suitable for the secular world, such as rice that is harvested three times a year, and various varieties that are strong and wear-resistant. Warm fabrics, etc.

These things are not used by the Immortal Family, but for the secular dynasty, they are more useful than any Immortal Family's offerings. Even in remote areas like Dadan, there will be no famine and other natural disasters, all thanks to the Immortal Master of Peach Blossom Pond's research on farming. .

The secular dynasty has benefited from this, so it is natural to be grateful. It is human nature to worship Lord Peach Blossom every year, but only the secular world is grateful. The immortal family on the mountain will not worship Lord Peach Blossom.

Not worshiping is not disrespecting Taohuatan's contribution to saving the people, but that all the sects actually benefit the people.

For example, Jing Terrace livestock breeding, Medicine King Pagoda medical technology, etc. It's a bit too shameless to worship each other. The Lord of Barren Mountain probably doesn't like to be called 'Animal God'.

Therefore, when the big sacrifice was held in the outskirts of the capital, the Iron River Valley, which was not far away, was still calm.

The Nine Sects Alliance has long been over, and all the disciples have been selected. Unsurprisingly, the three disciples from Qihuang Valley became the top three. In the end, they really had no choice, so they were selected by the Jiuyue Lin, who was at the bottom of the Nine Sects, to become the inner sect. , for the three of them, it can be regarded as a good home that they could only dream of.

Inside the Iron Arrow Mansion, the disciples performed their duties. In Shangguan Lingye's former residence, the underground Cave Mansion was closed and hadn't been opened for a long time.

On the lotus platform in the basement, Wu Qingwan sat upright cross-legged, wisps of mist swirling around her body, exhaling evenly, concentrating on expanding the acupoints in her body.

This Cave Mansion is Shangguan Lingye's place of practice. The spiritual energy is rich enough to support monk Youhuang to practice in it. For Wu Qingwan, it is inexhaustible. Shangguan Lingye also takes great care of it. There are a lot of auxiliary pills such as 'Guyuan Pill', so there is no need to worry about going wrong, just go all out to tackle the problem.

Wu Qingwan's talent is not bad, and she is hardworking enough, and she does not pursue extreme explosive power like Zuo Lingquan. She only needs to polish her meridians and acupoints to normal levels. Under such superior training conditions, her progress will naturally be rapid. After a few months, she has already rushed to the quadruple.

On the other side of the lotus platform, Tang Jingxun, who was still wearing a jacket and skirt, was also practicing meditation.

However, Tang Jingxun's posture in meditation is quite special. He lies directly on his side on the lotus platform, with a small pillow under his cheek and a thin blanket on his body. It looks exactly like sleeping, or in other words, hibernating.

As for the realm, Tang Jingxun said that there is no bottleneck. True Qi will soon break through the realm, and within a month of coming in, he will be half a step away.

To enter the Youhuang, one needs to refine the five elements of life, Tang Jingxun directly produces and sells herself, and the Phoenix fire and the earth core fire form the two life.

The two natal fires are not in line with the common sense of refining the five elements, but Tang Jingxuan is not a normal person. Whatever happens is not weird. He has reached the Liangyi realm smoothly, and he has not been rejected by heaven and earth to cause Thunder Tribulation.

When a monk enters samadhi, he is like half asleep and half awake, and has no obvious sense of the passage of time.

Wu Qingwan probably knew how long it had been, but Zuo Lingquan didn't leave the customs, and she had nothing to do when she left the customs, so she didn't intend to accept the merits.

But today is a bit different, when Wu Qingwan was earnestly opening the acupuncture points, she heard a faint sound:

"Om—"

The basement is isolated from the outside sound, almost dead silent, and the sound is extremely obvious.

Tang Jingxun, who was lying on her side, was the first to react. She opened her eyes, turned over and looked out of the lotus platform. After a little confusion, she opened her mouth and said:

"Qingwan, what's wrong?"

After Wu Qingwan collected her energy and calmed down, she opened her eyes and looked at the place where the sound came from.

There is a small river around the lotus platform, and on the open space outside, there are some miscellaneous things, such as pill boxes, cheat books, staffs, etc. The two of them don't have Linglong Pavilion, so they can only keep them by their side.

The one that made the sound was a tea-green wooden stick, which trembled slightly on the ground, then floated up, moved towards the north, and hit the wall, making a soft "dong—" sound.

"Um?"

Wu Qingwan was still a little apprehensive in the face of the Law Treasure running around on her own, so she stood up and watched carefully, not knowing why.

Tang Jingxun also stood up, originally wanting to hide behind Wu Qingwan, but thought that she was of a high level and it was inappropriate to hide behind her, so she put on the demeanor of a "big woman" and stood in front of Wu Qingwan, watching The crazy staff said:

"Good mother-in-law, why is this stick running around on its own?"

As soon as Tang Jingxun spoke, a golden streamer appeared in his eyes, and then his momentum changed completely, and his expression turned into a calm expression.

She raised her hand lightly, and two flames appeared at the bottom of her feet, and her whole body was suspended and landed near the wooden staff.

Wu Qingwan knew that the ancestor of Shangguan was coming, she looked respectful, came to the back, and asked:

"Senior Shangguan, this is..."

The tea-green wooden stick seemed to be controlled by unknown objects, shaking like a headless chicken in the basement.

The old ancestor of Shangguan frowned slightly, after observing carefully for a moment, he opened his mouth and said:

"The person controlling it is very far away. I am afraid that they are overseas. They used several Tiandun towers in Huajunzhou in reverse, and finally passed the spiritual energy fluctuations here through the Tiandun tower in Wanghailou, awakening this Law Treasure."

When Wu Qingwan heard this, she probably became nervous because her second uncle was contacting her:

"What is he trying to do?"

Patriarch Shangguan shook his head slightly: "The distance is too far, and with the theft of the Sky Dungeon Pagoda, it's his ability to send a word, and he can't do anything else."

In a word...

Wu Qingwan guessed that the second uncle wanted to say something to her, but she couldn't let the Shangguan patriarch avoid it, so she could only watch.

The two waited for a while, and the dangling tea-green wooden stick stopped in the air, as if it had received the master's command, it flew to the side of the stone wall, directly pierced one end into the stone wall, and began to write.

Chacha——

The speed of the wooden staff engraving was extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, it was engraved on the black stone wall:

Left, be careful, board the tide.

After the five characters were engraved, the wooden stick fell to the ground, flicked twice, and there was no more movement.

Wu Qingwan frowned slightly, and after taking a closer look, she felt that the second uncle was out of good intentions, and was reporting the news, and said:

"This...Second Uncle wants Ling Quan to be careful?"

Shangguan Patriarch was a little surprised when he heard 'Second Uncle', but he was not entangled in this matter. After thinking for a moment, she nodded:

"Your second uncle was taken away by the Youying alien race. The news probably came from under the nose of the Youying alien race. The only words that can be sent are these few words. The most likely word for 'left' is Zuo Lingquan, and 'be careful' is self-explanatory,' "Dengchao" should refer to Dengchao Port, the largest sea port in Yuyaozhou. The meaning of this sentence should be to make Zuo Lingquan be careful about the overseas monks coming from Dengchao Port, because the Youying alien race has already targeted him."

"Focus on Lingquan?" Wu Qingwan's face was slightly anxious: "Is it possible that Lingquan provoked those demons and heretics?"

"Cultivating the Tao is not a place where 'people don't offend me, I don't offend others'. Qingkui in the past dynasties are all thorns in the eyes of Youying aliens and monks from other continents. It is not surprising that they are calculated. Zuo Lingquan is too sharp, and the future must be nine sects. The character of the Youying alien race is omnipotent, and it is very likely that they sent killers to prevent future troubles."

Wu Qingwan knew how powerful the demons were heretics, and ordinary people probably couldn't imagine how hard to guard against her own death would be if they were put on top of those demons.

"Then what should we do? Should we let Ling Quan hide?"

"Don't panic, in the realm of the Nine Sects, the King of Hades will not be able to take away those whom I want to protect."

These words were very domineering, but Wu Qingwan thought about it for a while, and said with some uncertainty:

"Last time in Burning Smoke City, senior was protected by the empress dowager..."

"..."

The ancestor of Shangguan blinked his eyes:

"That was unexpected. This time I knew it in advance. If it is still too late to help, then it can only be said that Zuo Lingquan was hit by a catastrophe."

"ah?"

"Let him go to Dengchao Port. The one who should come can't hide. It's better to eradicate hidden dangers in advance than to worry about it in the future."

After the ancestor Shangguan finished speaking, golden streamers appeared in his eyes, and he left the basement in a blink of an eye...

——

Thousands of trees are in spring outside Luohunyuan, and there is no snow in sight.

Zuo Lingquan was pulled out of the Iron Arrow Grotto-Heaven by the beam of light. When he landed again, he was already at the back of the Iron Arrow Mansion. In front of him was an endless stretch of buildings, with many male and female disciples wearing heavy armor walking on the road.

Seeing the sun and the blue sky and white clouds again, Zuo Lingquan felt as if he had been through hell. The murderous aura that had always been on his head was gone. His whole body was a few ounces lighter and he almost lost his balance.

After returning to the human world, Zuo Lingquan breathed a long sigh of relief, and without caring about anything else, he hurriedly walked towards a Tieyong Mansion monk and wanted to ask about the current year.

But before he took a few steps, he saw a man standing in front of him and said:

"Brother Zuo, you have figured it out. Do you know how I got here in the past twenty years?"

"Twenty years?!"

Zuo Lingquan's face turned pale, and after careful identification, he discovered that the man in black armor in front of him turned out to be Cheng Jiujiang, whom he had not seen for a long time. He said in disbelief:

"Old Cheng, have I been here for twenty years?"

Cheng Jiujiang looked sad, nodded and said:

"For twenty years, Her Royal Highness has reached the level of jade. She is the number one young leader and the most beautiful woman in the nine sects today. She is honored as the 'Fairy Longli' and has admirers like crucian carp crossing the river..."

? ?

Zuo Lingquan was stunned. Jiang Yi was already halfway to the jade level. He entered the Iron Arrow Grotto-Heaven and practiced hard for twenty years before becoming an eighth-level ancestor. Can this be called the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land?

After noticing something was wrong, Zuo Lingquan immediately reacted, spread his hands and said:

"Old Cheng, are you interested? How long has it been?"

Seeing that he couldn't be deceived, Cheng Jiujiang chuckled:

"It won't take long, just four or five months. The princess asked me to say this, just to scare Brother Zuo. The princess is at Yufeng Mountain on the outskirts of the city. She asked you to go there after you come out. If I need anything, I'll see you."

Zuo Lingquan breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and wanted to go there, but then he remembered something and turned around and said:

"By the way, Lao Cheng, you say hello to the guards here. If someone named Yun Zhengyang comes out, fool him and say that he hasn't come out for more than 20 years. His master has accepted another apprentice, and he also I was given a fairy sword.”

"no problem."

Cheng Jiujiang patted his chest and agreed, and said goodbye with his hands. When he saw Zuo Lingquan running away, he said again:

"Brother Zuo, you went into seclusion for four or five months and still haven't reached the eighth level of the Spiritual Valley?"

Zuo Lingquan slapped his forehead and remembered that he was already a swordsman who could "control objects and volley".

Zuo Lingquan didn't have a flying sword, so he pulled out the Mo Yuan Sword with five elements belonging to water, hovered it in front of him, stood on it, and sent it forward based on his feeling.

Sa——

The sword, which was completely black, turned into a black afterimage and shot out.

But Zuo Lingquan's first time riding a sword was similar to ordinary people riding a skateboard. When the sword came out, he did a backflip on the spot and almost landed on his face.

Cheng Jiujiang was covered in cold sweat and advised: "Forget it, brother Zuo, why don't you just run over."

"It's just that you're not used to it the first time, just watch it."

Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and lightly hooked Mo Yuan's sword back, stood up again, then slowly lifted into the air, opened his arms to maintain balance, and flew crookedly towards the outside of Tiedong Mansion...

————

Sword volleying is a technical job, and it takes time to adapt, otherwise it is easy to hit the mountain; without the assistance of the flying Law Weapon, it consumes a lot of money, and the speed may not be as fast as a full-out attack.

But Zuo Lingquan has been practicing for so many years. This is the first time he has flown into the air on his own. Compared with the feeling of flying with a sword, what does it mean to waste a lot of time?

After stumbling and snaking around the countryside for more than a hundred miles, Zuo Lingquan flew for an hour before arriving near Yufeng Mountain.

There are too many people out for spring outings in the suburbs. According to the rules of practitioners, they are not allowed to disturb the people, so they cannot easily fly over the heads of the crowd.

Zuo Lingquan naturally followed the rules, landed only half a foot above the ground, flew close to the ground, and slowly climbed up the crowded Yufeng Mountain.

The sacrificial activities are still going on. The ladies and ladies from the capital city follow the Imperial Concubine Dayan and offer incense in the Temple of Agriculture one by one.

The Temple of Agriculture is not a small temple. It was built by the royal family and has a golden body. It is grand in scale. There are many houses around the main temple, and the roads are full of guards who maintain order.

When Zuo Lingquan arrived at a crowded place, he naturally couldn't show off anymore, so he walked to the side of the Temple of Agriculture. Under the guidance of the palace maid, he came to the back of the main hall and waited at the side door for the sacrifice to end.

There is an incense table under the two-foot-tall golden body of the 'God of Agriculture'. Incense smoke curls up, and the sound of bells keeps coming from a distance.

The palace is full of gorgeous and solemn women. The Crown Princess, who is wearing a phoenix skirt and a phoenix crown, is the most eye-catching. Because she is too senior, the surrounding concubines, princesses and noble ladies from aristocratic families are more reserved. Jiang Yi, who knows everything, is a little more relaxed. , standing intently.

In formal occasions, Shangguan Lingye wears graceful makeup and a serious expression, and his every move is full of nobility. He looks at the other wives who are offering incense from the side.

Perhaps sensing the eyes looking at him in the dark, Shangguan Lingye gently raised his jade finger to signal the sacrifice to continue, then turned around and walked to the back of the main hall with graceful steps.

Jiang Yi knew that Zuo Lingquan was coming, but in such a big place, she couldn't move around, so she could only take a sneak peek.

Zuo Lingquan hasn't seen his daughter-in-law for a few months, so he naturally misses her. Seeing that Grandma Shangguan came over on her own initiative, he couldn't make eye contact with Jiang Yi anymore, and bowed his hands together and said:

"Toffee Queen."

The side door next to the golden statue of Shangguan Lingye came to the apse, tilted his head slightly, signaled the waiting maid to step back, and said:

"How was your experience at Grotto-Heaven?"

Zuo Lingquan took it hard and felt that he had benefited a lot, so he responded naturally:

"The harvest has been quite fruitful, thank you for your cultivation."

"Yeah?"

As Shangguan Lingye spoke, he came to sit on a chair on the side of the room. He lifted up his skirt smoothly and put his right leg on top of his left leg, revealing the translucent black socks on his calf.

The movement of crossing Erlang's legs also made the hem of the skirt taut, and the waist outlines an extremely plump buttocks line. You can feel the soft and delicate texture of the thighs through the phoenix skirt.

The whole set of movements is natural, obviously practiced on purpose, graceful and elegant, but full of temptation.

? !

Zuo Lingquan hadn't seen a woman for half a year, and when he saw this scene suddenly, he almost fainted.

He coughed and turned his attention to the solemn sacrificial ceremony outside. It seemed that he was afraid that Grandma Toffee would be discovered here and they would pull him out and chop him down.

Shangguan Lingye picked up the teacup, brought it to his bright red lips, took a sip, and said slightly dissatisfied:

"I'll let you go to Grotto-Heaven to sharpen your mind. You'll do it for half a year. That's it?"

Zuo Lingquan's eyes were complicated and he didn't know what to say.

What do you mean?

Which old swordsman can withstand such a test?

Separated by a wall are hundreds of women and the solemn hall. Everyone is solemnly laying incense and worshiping the gods.

As the leader of the sacrifices, the highly respected Crown Princess was actually sitting behind the wall, posing in such a seductive manner to seduce men.

What is the difference between this disrespectful and exciting scene and King Zhou touching the statue of Nuwa?

"Mother, there is a sacrifice outside, you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Shangguan Lingye was holding a tea cup, sitting very elegantly, only half of his calf was exposed in private, and he was still wearing pantyhose, and no flesh was leaking. Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with it; he was just a little too seductive, and with this marginal flirtation Human movements are too lethal to men.

"You are not stable, and you still blame me? Then when you confront someone in the future, will you have to ask the other female cultivator to cover yourself tightly and cover your face?"

This is not unreasonable.

Zuo Lingquan admitted that he could not withstand such a test, so he stopped defending and nodded:

"It's because I'm unstable, and I'm teaching you a lesson."

Only then was Shangguan Lingye satisfied. He motioned for Zuo Lingquan to sit down opposite the tea table and then got down to business:

"It's my ancestor's will to let you come out early. You must set off immediately to Dengchao Port."

Zuo Lingquan has just left the Sea of ​​Bitterness. He hasn't had time to refine the water of the Five Elements, nor has he been intimate with his wives. He was surprised to hear that he was leaving soon:

"So anxious? What are you going to do?"

"You are so popular, it seems that some overseas monks are targeting you. Qingkui is the successor of the Nine Sects, and it is common for him to be ambushed by other forces and foreign monks. I have also experienced it. I received the news in advance this time, It would be best if you can go directly and resolve the matter, otherwise you will have to be careful even when you walk in the future, and there will be no peace at all."

Zuo Lingquan understood the reason why a big tree attracts the wind, his expression became serious, he nodded slightly and said:

"I understand, can I deal with my opponent by myself?"

"If you can deal with it alone, the other party won't send someone to see you off. This time, I will be your guardian during this long trip. You can just go to Peach Blossom Pond and the Central Continent to try your luck to see if you can find the genus of the Five Elements."

"Your Majesty protects me, I naturally don't ask for it, but it's just an errand for the Demon Hunting Department..."

"The matter of the Demon Hunting Department can be handled on the boat. It is risky for you to go out this time. It is not appropriate to bring Jiang Yi and the others with you. It may also make potential enemies feel that there are many people and they will not dare to show their faces. I and them Stay on the boat together and you set off alone. If something goes wrong, we can always come to your aid."

Zuo Lingquan naturally had no objection to this and nodded:

"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."

"Everyone is just asking for what they need. There is no need to thank you. The sacrifice will take some time. You can go get the boat to pick up people. I will meet you in the afternoon."

"good."
