Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 228 Desperate Mandarin Ducks

Tick-tock——

Tick-tock——

The empty stone room was dim and dull, and water droplets dripped from the gaps in the stone wall from time to time, breaking on the bluestone floor tiles, splashing water mist, and sprinkled on the cheeks.

Zuo Lingquan woke up from a daze, his consciousness was still wandering, and hadn't returned to its place, so that even his thoughts were dull, and he couldn't move his hands, feet, or open his eyes.

But this feeling is not unfamiliar.

He vaguely remembered that the last time he experienced this feeling was more than ten years ago, when he was just born and was held in the arms of the midwife.

At that time, I could hear words such as "Congratulations, master, you are a son", "Show me quickly", "It's so ugly...", but I didn't know who I was and where I was born. It wasn't until I was two or three years old that I gradually had self-awareness and memory.

If I go, I won’t be reincarnated again...

With this terrible thought in his mind, Zuo Lingquan woke up completely, and a large number of memories flooded into his mind, remembering what just happened:

When the bone claw was grabbed, golden light and thunder appeared in the clouds. It must be Shangguan Patriarch who came to lend a helping hand.

The thunder was so powerful that it chopped the bone claws and the ghost mist behind into pieces, and the Dowager Empress also rushed forward.

At that time, he also thought that he had escaped from the sky, but at that moment, there was a suction force under the sea surface, and the force acted on the body and even the soul, which was so huge that it was impossible to resist.

Before he could react, he fell into the bottom of the sea. The Dowager Empress gave him a hand and was dragged down...

what happened……

He's not dead yet, so he won't be kidnapped...

Lingye...

Zuo Lingquan's heart tightened and he woke up completely. He wanted to check the surrounding situation, but it was difficult to control his body.

"Well……"

Zuo Lingquan opened his lips lightly, let out a low cry, opened his eyes with difficulty, and first saw the small stone chamber.

The light in the stone chamber was extremely weak, and you could barely see your fingers. Apart from the sound of dripping water, no movement could be heard in the surrounding area.

Zuo Lingquan gritted his teeth and raised his hand, touched his chest, touched the silky fabric and hair, and then went up to the woman's smooth neck, where he could feel the pulse and body temperature.

Zuo Lingquan wanted to use True Qi to explore, but found that the Qi Sea in his body was exhausted, and there was not even a trace of True Qi left.

this……

Zuo Lingquan wanted to check the surrounding world, but his heart sank -- he couldn't feel any trace of spiritual flow, and his consciousness was also greatly restricted. He could no longer control the surrounding water flow, and he seemed to have become an ordinary person directly.

He touched it with his hands, only to find that his belongings were still on his body, but whether it was the Linglong Pavilion or other Law Weapons, they were no different from ordinary objects, and it was impossible to tell whether it was broken or he simply couldn't control it.

Zuo Lingquan originally thought that his cultivation base had been abolished, but he felt his physical condition carefully, except that his spiritual energy was exhausted and he was weak, there was nothing wrong with his limbs and bones. It should be that this place is weird.

Zuo Lingquan was confused. He waited for his limbs to gradually recover before sitting up on the ground, holding the woman in his arms with one hand and looking down.

Shangguan Lingye hadn't woken up yet, so he leaned on his shoulder unconsciously. Although the light was dim, he could still see his pale cheeks, his crescent eyebrows were furrowed, and his breath was not stable, which was obviously caused by trauma to his soul.

The phoenix skirt on his body, like the gold hairpins in his hair, looked a bit messy; his arms were drooping weakly, and he could see the gold bracelets and jade bracelets on his wrists; because he was lying on his side, the gorgeous skirt was exposed She wears palace shoes and calves, and her legs are also covered with exquisite black stockings.

Zuo Lingquan glanced at it. At this time, his safety was uncertain, and he couldn't think of any charming thoughts. He pulled the skirt up to cover his ankles, hugged the concubine tighter, and looked around.

Although there is no light source, you can still see something; the stone chamber is like a room, not large, and has no windows, but there is a doorway, connected to the dark stone path, and you don’t know where to go; the stone chamber has no furnishings, and Mo Yuan’s sword fell. It landed not far from the side, and there was a small fur ball beside it.

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan was taken aback, and quickly leaned over to pick up the white fur ball. His hands were warm, and it was obviously alive, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He came closer to look at it carefully, and saw that the big dumpling that he could not hold with one hand in the past had turned into the small one that looked like a glutinous rice dumpling when he first saw it in Linhefang.

Tuanzi also seemed to have passed out, tilting his head and sticking out his little tongue, cute and pitiful.

Zuo Lingquan felt a little distressed. He looked around and found no soft spot for the dumpling to lie on, so he placed the dumpling between the bulging breasts of Empress Dowager to warm him, and then stood up with Empress Dowager on his side. .

"call……"

The strength of his limbs has not yet been fully restored, and there is no spiritual support at all. Zuo Lingquan is still a little uncomfortable. His legs and feet feel heavy. After moving his legs a little, he regained the feeling he had when he was an ordinary person.

He wanted to get out of the stone room to have a look, but the doorway of the stone room was very narrow, only one person could pass through, so it was obviously impossible to hold the concubine empress.

Zuo Lingquan didn't dare to leave Shangguan Lingye here alone, so he lifted her up, put his arms around his hips, and let her chin rest on his shoulders.

Shangguan Lingye's phoenix skirt is very loose and can show off the waistline, but the gorgeous skirt does not outline the hip line too much. In the past, Zuo Lingquan had only seen the real curves when Shangguan Lingye wore a nightgown.

You can even feel the texture of stockings and panties with your fingertips, and you can feel the silky smoothness and softness through the phoenix skirt, just like holding a soft and fragrant ball with full weight in your hands.

At this time, the situation was unclear and the identities of each other were inappropriate. Although Zuo Lingquan could not calm down, he did not take advantage of others' danger. He sternly warned himself in his heart not to be distracted, and then observed the surrounding environment.

The stone path is not long, only a dozen or so steps. When you come out, you will see a huge cave in front of you.

The cave is naturally formed, and there are many buildings built underneath. The wooden buildings are all dilapidated, and only some rooms dug out of the stone walls can still be seen in their original appearance.

There is an underground river in the cave. It looks like a residence, but there is no one around. Judging from the dilapidation of the building, it seems that no one has been here for many years.

Zuo Lingquan was a little inexplicable. When he was looking around, a soft voice suddenly sounded in his ear:

"Forehead……"

Looking at it in a blink of an eye, Shangguan Lingye's slender eyelashes trembled twice, and he slowly opened his eyes, his clear eyes were full of bewilderment.

Perhaps because he realized that he was being held, Shangguan Lingye raised his head instinctively and alertly. Seeing Zuo Lingquan close at hand, he breathed a sigh of relief and weakly rested his chin on his broad shoulders:

"Where is this?...Why am I in your arms."

Shangguan Lingye hadn't come back to his senses yet, his thoughts were slow, and his speech was still somewhat confused.

Zuo Lingquan stopped and whispered softly in his ear:

"I don't know where this is. We were dragged into the sea just now, and we all fainted. We came here when we woke up. I just woke up not long ago."

"oh……"

Shangguan Lingye closed his beautiful eyes, and after a moment of relaxation, his thoughts slowly recovered.

After recalling each other's experiences, Shangguan Lingye's face darkened, and he quickly raised his cheeks to look left and right:

"There's something wrong with this place, are we locked up?"

Apparently, Shangguan Lingye also discovered the situation where the aura of heaven and earth disappeared and the Divine Ability could not be used.

Zuo Lingquan was also puzzled, when Shangguan Lingye woke up, he also relaxed a bit, and said softly:

"It doesn't look like it. It seems that no one has come to this place for a long time, and I haven't seen my opponent. What's going on in your mother's body?"

"The Qi Sea is exhausted, my soul is injured, and I don't even have the strength to raise my hands."

It was the first time that Shangguan Lingye encountered such a situation where he was unable to restrain the chicken. He was very cautious, but with Zuo Lingquan in front of him, he would have a companion even if he died, so his emotions were not shown.

After Shangguan Lingye looked around, he focused his eyes on Zuo Lingquan's face. He wanted to ask about his physical condition, but suddenly realized that the current posture was not right - she was being held in front of her by Zuo Lingquan, her hands Holding Zuo Lingquan's neck, sitting on Zuo Lingquan's hot palm...

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a while, and gradually returned to her dignified and majestic expression. She looked at Zuo Lingquan who was close at hand, and said tepidly:

"Is this palace heavy?"

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan wanted to answer lightly, but he immediately realized what Grandma Toffee meant, and he let go of the hand holding his buttocks:

"Your Majesty fainted. I couldn't leave her alone to find a way out, so I held her in my arms. I have no other intention than to obey the authority when the matter is urgent."

Shangguan Lingye didn't mean to care at all. Her body was very weak and she hadn't fully recovered yet. When she landed, her legs softened and she fell directly, with the dumplings rolling off her chest.

Upon seeing this, Zuo Lingquan quickly held Shangguan Lingye's lower back and caught the dumpling with one hand:

"Be careful."

"I just asked if it's heavy. If not, I continued to hold me. I didn't ask you to put me down."

"Well……"

Shangguan Lingye helped Zuo Lingquan stand firm, glanced at him angrily, turned Zuo Lingquan over, stood on tiptoes and lay on his back:

"It's not a good time to stay here for a long time. It's better to keep walking. Thank you for your hard work."

Zuo Lingquan smiled and didn't say much. He handed the dumpling to Shangguan Lingye, then he hugged her legs and stood up, and continued walking along the road in the cave.

Shangguan Lingye has more than a hundred years of experience. Even if he has never experienced love between a man and a woman, he is not as shy and shy as a little girl. She held Zuo Lingquan's waist with her legs, lying on her back naturally, looking at the small dumpling in her hand, and asked:

"How come the dumplings have become smaller?"

"It breathed fire on the sea. It probably sprayed out all the dried fish that it has eaten for a year. It seems that we will have to find more treasures from heaven and earth to feed it in the future."

Speaking of feeding, Zuo Lingquan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized why his limbs were weak and his steps were sluggish—he was hungry!

The monks at the top of the spiritual valley do not eat grains and can stay awake only by relying on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, if there is no spiritual energy in heaven and earth and the Qi Sea in the body is exhausted, then they can only return to their original nature and rely on eating to support physical consumption; if there is no food, physical strength will be lost It is impossible to create something out of nothing. If you should starve to death, you must starve to death.

Under normal circumstances, there is no such thing as a monk starving to death, but in such a place where there is no spiritual energy, it is obviously possible.

"Ma'am, are you hungry too?"

"hungry?"

Shangguan Lingye's standard Xianjia Bai Fumei, not to mention hungry, has never eaten a few meals of whole grains. She felt it and found that there was indeed a very primitive desire in her body, but it was not very obvious.

"I'm just telling you, why are your hands so weak and your feet so weak? You're still hungry after watching the dumplings... quickly find a way to get out. If you stay here, you'll starve to death in less than half a month."

Zuo Lingquan hadn't experienced the feeling of being hungry for a long time, he didn't waste his energy by talking nonsense, and speeded up a bit.

The cave should be underground, and it is very large. The buildings inside are old and different. Some of the stone buildings still have carved patterns, but they have nothing to do with the incantation formations of the spiritual path.

Shangguan Lingye put the dumpling into his clothes to keep warm. After observing for a while, he opened his mouth and said:

"This place is not a fairy structure, it should be built by ordinary people. Judging from the Feng Shui direction, it is at most half a mile from the surface. You can get out by walking along the cave."

In fact, there is no need for Shangguan Lingye to remind, because the karst cave is one road ahead and one can only walk along the road.

Zuo Lingquan carried Shangguan Lingye on his back and came to the end of the huge cave. There were steps in front of him. On the steps was a large stone hall taken out from the stone wall. At first glance, it was dark inside. Judging from the architectural plan, it should be the head of the cave. place to live.

After Zuo Lingquan glanced at it, he stepped up the steps and entered the hall. Just as he was about to scan the situation inside, Shangguan Lingye behind him suddenly covered his mouth and pointed his finger at the ground.

Zuo Lingquan quickly suppressed his steps and breath, squinted his eyes, and saw a small wooden box in the corner of the stone hall.

The small wooden box is square and has a shape that is very common in monastic circles. It is used to hold elixirs. There is a gourd relief on the surface, which is the emblem of a certain sect. Judging from the condition, it may have just been opened not long ago.

Zuo Lingquan didn't have any True Qi reserves in his body, and his perception was also greatly reduced. With physical strength alone, he might not be able to beat even a monk at the peak of Qi Refining. And the elixir that can be packed in a wooden box must be at least a panacea, and only monks in the spiritual valley can use it.

Zuo Lingquan did not dare to be careless at this time. He pointed in the direction of Shangguan Lingye and carefully leaned against the stone wall with his sword in hand. He carefully observed the huge cave outside from the entrance of the stone palace to find the whereabouts of the other party.

But the light in the cave is too dark, except for the sound of water flowing, no other movement can be heard, and nothing can be seen.

Shangguan Lingye was also very cautious, paying attention to all the clues around him.

The two hadn't searched for a long time, and they didn't find each other's trace in the cave, when they suddenly heard from behind:

Tread...

The sound of human footsteps, walking slowly and slowly.

Zuo Lingquan's face changed suddenly, and he turned around quickly, only to find that there was a stone path deep in the stone hall, and a figure came out from the corner of the stone path.

The person who came was an old man, with long white hair and well-maintained skin, but his face was paler than Shangguan Lingye's. The robe on his upper body was in tatters, and there were bruises from lightning strikes on his body. He looked very embarrassed.

The old man was walking with his hands behind his back, looking at the walls on both sides, looking for an exit. When he turned the corner and suddenly saw two people standing opposite, his eyes suddenly changed, showing hostility, but he did not move rashly.

Zuo Lingquan didn't know Patriarch Youhuang, but he could see from his eyes that the other party knew them both, and that he was obviously murderous, his heart was half cold.

Shangguan Lingye saw the scar from the lightning strike, guessed who the old man was, broke out in cold sweat, and looked like he was ready to go.

Needles could be heard in the stone hall, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme. It seemed that a landslide and earth-shattering war would break out at any moment.

But the three of them looked at each other without making a move.

The ancestor of Netherworld was in the same situation as the two of them. All he could use was a pair of old fists, and he was seriously injured by Shangguan Yutang's lightning strike. At this time, not to mention Shangguan Lingye, he could not beat Zuo Lingquan, so he dared to act rashly.

In order to prevent the two of them from discovering that he was already a dying candle, Patriarch Youming reacted quickly, acting like a giant of the immortal family:

"The old man just wanted to talk to you, but you came here by yourself."

Zuo Lingquan was also exhausted. He dared not take the lead, so he could only maintain his momentum, act like a god blocking the killer, and quarreled coldly:

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

Ancestor Youhuang was frightened, but he still had hundreds of years of experience, and his expression showed no abnormality, and he said calmly:

"It doesn't matter who I am. This trip is just an order to take Zuo Jianxia and Shangguan Fairy overseas to meet an old senior. The old senior is also from Yuyaozhou and has higher qualifications than Lord Shangguan. He has taken a fancy to the two of them. I have great talent, and I want to persuade you two to abandon the darkness and turn to the light; I hope you can assess the situation and don't miss the real path because of some people's one-sided and confusing words."

Zuo Lingquan couldn't take action, so he could only follow the trend;

"I grew up in the Nine Sects. In the teachings of my teachers, the Youying alien race has always been evaluated as evil heretics. I really don't know the true truth. Could you mean that the real avenue lies with the Youying alien race?"

Patriarch Youhuang acted like a generous elder, nodded gently, and explained seriously:

"The way of heaven is birth, old age, sickness, death, and the reincarnation of all things, which is inherently contradictory to immortality. If you want to live forever, you can only break out of the prison of heaven and earth."

"What's the meaning of this statement?"

"To give you an analogy, the world can be regarded as a stage, with limited seats, and you and I are spectators; if you and I keep hanging on, and new people keep coming in and hanging on, no matter how many seats there are, Sooner or later, the seats will be full; the stage is full of lingering guests, making it difficult to replace them, and the troupe will naturally die.

"In order to avoid this situation, the theater troupe has made rules to limit the time that the audience can watch the theater, which is also the 'life span'. Life and death are one of the laws of heaven. As long as you and I are still watching the theater under the stage , you can't get around this rule of heaven. The longer you stay, the more and bigger Thunder Tribulation you will encounter, until you and I are sent away. If you and I want to keep watching the theater, we can only go to other theater troupes, or Become an actor in a theater troupe.

"The Dragon King of the Four Seas and the Five Heavenly Officials and the Five Beasts are immortal because they are members of the troupe. The price of immortality is to work for the troupe step by step and not leave their posts without authorization, and there are only a few positions. We, the spectators, don't want to Being bound by heaven and earth, the only way left is to join another troupe. Do you understand this?"

Although Patriarch Youhuang is an evil heretic, his words are indeed the truth and are easy to understand.

Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a moment and thought it made sense, so he asked:

"But the road to other troupes is blocked?"

"That's right. Today's monks have no way out, and no matter how strong they are, they can't escape reincarnation. It's not easy for anyone to practice for a lifetime. Even if you are a demon like me, those who have stayed in peace for a lifetime are not allowed to leave this cage. You guys Do you think this is reasonable?”

Shangguan Lingye frowned: "The Youying alien race is evil, there is no way to stay safe."

Ancestor Netherworld chuckled: "Then I want to ask you, if you walk to the top of the mountain one day and find that there is a wall on top, and you can only stand still and wait to die, will you find a way to tear down the wall?"

"..."

Shangguan Lingye fell silent. He couldn't answer this question until he reached a certain point.

Zuo Lingquan also felt that this question was a bit sharp. He thought about it:

"If you say that, there's nothing wrong with wanting to go out. But I heard that if you jump out of this world, you will reach a higher place. People in this world look at the people just like we look at the birds and beasts under our feet..."

The ancestor of Netherworld shook his head and said: "The way of heaven is to prey on the weak. Building a wall to seal yourself off to escape from the superior is obviously a wrong method. Don't you swordsmen all say 'draw your sword to the stronger one'? When trouble comes, draw the ground as a prison." What are you doing practicing your sword to avoid powerful enemies?"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan was speechless.

Fortunately, Shangguan Lingye was relatively sober and retorted:

"My master wants to let ordinary people live in peace, not to make himself invincible. She said that you are evil heretics, so your actions must be contrary to human nature. There is no need to make excuses to excuse yourself."

Seeing the stubbornness of the two men, the Nether Ancestor also lost his patience and raised his hand:

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine..."

Zuo Lingquan's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled Shangguan Lingye behind him.

However, the Nether Ancestor raised his hand and pinched it, but no magic came out. His expression froze for a moment, he coughed lightly, and continued to talk:

"But you are young and can understand it. What I said is not an excuse..."

Jiliguala...

Shangguan Lingye frowned, and seeing that the other party was so patient, he gradually came back to his senses.

She hesitated for a moment, then bravely raised her hand to seal the secret, and at the same time scolded in a cold voice:

"Suffer death!"

The voice is murderous.

The Nether Ancestor who was talking nonsense was so shocked that his face turned pale. He reacted very quickly and jumped into the corner of the stone road.

Such a embarrassed reaction doesn't look like an old devil from the Xian family.

When Shangguan Lingye saw this scene, he was determined - the other party was avoiding by his legs and feet, and his situation was obviously the same as theirs.

Without the Divine Ability, a cultivator's talent, the ancestor would have no choice but to hit someone with his fists and kicks. Even if he couldn't beat him, if he ran away, he would definitely not dare to pursue him even if he was seriously injured.

Zuo Lingquan also realized the current situation. Why is he afraid of holding a sword? At that moment, he was so evil that he rushed into the corner of the stone road with his sword in hand...
