Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 233 Lord Peach Blossom

"Chiji..."

The sun was rising, and the chirping of birds and the crackling sound of burning firewood came from the window.

Zuo Lingquan opened his eyes and relaxed a little before he finally woke up.

After changing shifts with the Dowager Empress last night, nothing worth talking about happened. He was really tired, and he felt that it was getting brighter every time he closed and opened his eyes.

Zuo Lingquan stood up and stretched. Looking around, he saw that the room had been tidied up neatly. Several wooden boards full of words were leaning against the wall, but Shangguan Lingye was nowhere to be seen.

Zuo Lingquan walked out of the room and followed the sound to the kitchen on the side of the yard. He saw Tuanzi standing on the windowsill, waving his wings and saying "chichijiji..." fiercely. His appearance was similar to the one he ordered him to cook yesterday. Just listen to the tone. Just like, 'Why are you so clumsy? ’.

Zuo Lingquan went to the window and looked in. Grandma Toffee in simple clothes was standing next to the stove, holding a spatula in her hand. On the plate next to her, there were sliced ​​meat and vegetables she found from nowhere. My knife skills are pretty good, but I don’t know how to put the pot in first, so I pointed to the plate and said:

"This one first?"

"grumble."

"oh……"

Seeing Zuo Lingquan looking around at the window, Shangguan Lingye's expression returned to his usual "everything is ready" look, and he was cooking seriously, looking like a good wife and mother.

"How about I do it."

"You don't know how to cook, so what are you doing here? Go about your own business. I'll call you when I'm eating."

Zuo Lingquan's cooking skills were almost non-existent, so he didn't go in to join in the fun. After washing up a little, he took a few wooden boards from the house and left the yard.

The people of Macheng County gathered nearby. There were quite a lot of people in the streets and alleys. Men wearing red headscarves walked back and forth to maintain order. A few women held up big pots. People in ragged clothes lined up to get the porridge. soup.

Zuo Lingquan had figured out the way last night and went directly to a tea shop under the city wall.

The four leaders of the rebel army were in the courtyard outside the tea shop, gesturing with each other with their swords. They seemed to be doing morning exercises. The people had gathered, and Lu Chen didn't run around alone. He leaned aside and watched.

"Lu Chen, you said that the three of us combined can't defeat that great hero Zuo. Is that true or false?"

The one who spoke was Zhu Ba, who also used a sword. He could do great things with a sword, and his kung fu skills were the best among several people. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.

Lu Chen had seen Zuo Lingquan's sword-drawing stance, and said disdainfully:

"Mountain Wai Qing Shan Lou Wai Lou, if you don't believe it, just go there and try it yourself and you will know... Hey, it won't come here."

Jiang Heng turned around when he heard the sound and saw Zuo Lingquan coming over. He put away the red tassel gun and greeted:

"Master Zuo got up very early. How did your wife and you rest last night?"

"It's very good. Thank you for the hospitality from Chief Jiang."

Zuo Lingquan came to the tea shop and put down the wooden board:

"We have nothing to thank you for. We wrote something overnight yesterday. I hope Brother Jiang can use it in the future."

When several people heard this, they all gathered around and looked at the wooden board.

It's just that everyone present has a rough background, and they are considered educated people if they can recognize their own names. Faced with the dense small characters and graphics, their expressions become awkward.

Su Ziyu, dressed as a scholar, had attended a private school for a year when she was a child. At this time, she stood in front of several people with her hands behind her hands and read carefully:

"When marching and fighting, morale is more important than swords, guns, and armor. Soldiers have aspirations, and no matter how weak they are, they have courage that no man can match. Leaders are disloyal, and soldiers who have fought hundreds of battles are just a mob..."

In order for them to understand, Shangguan Lingye's words were very down-to-earth and his description was extremely detailed. It was equivalent to a step-by-step instruction. Anyone with a little brain can understand it. Whether he can apply what he learned depends on his own ability.

Jiang Heng listened for a moment and said unexpectedly: "Is this the art of war?"

Zuo Lingquan didn't know how to march and fight, but what Shangguan Lingye wrote was definitely not fabricated. He nodded and said:

"That's right. It's not just the art of using soldiers, but also other things. They are all experiences summed up by predecessors. Brother Jiang took note of them carefully, and they will definitely be of great use."

Jiang Heng didn't know exactly how useful a few brands would be, but he didn't take it lightly. Together with Su Ziyu, he took a few wooden boards and studied them carefully.

Zhu Ba and Cao Xin are pure Jianghu people, and they are not very interested in these things. After the two chatted, Zhu Ba stepped forward and said:

"We warriors don't understand the matter of literati. I heard that Zuo Daxia is very skilled in martial arts. If you can teach us a thing or two about martial arts, it seems that it is much more useful than the art of war. Do you think Zuo Daxia? ?”

He was talking about giving pointers, but Zhu Ba obviously wanted to compete with each other.

Zuo Lingquan has dabbled in a wide range of worldly martial arts, and he has a lot of experience. I am afraid that he will not be able to use it in the practice of Dao in the future. He has no secrets at the moment. He took a wooden stick as a weapon, and compared it with a few people, according to the martial arts style of a few people , give some pointers on your own understanding.

As for the process of sparring, there is no need to describe it in detail. It is basically equivalent to an adult fighting with a three-year-old child with a wooden stick.

As the saying goes, "The master guides the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual." Several people have the foundation of kung fu, and they can remember enough of the things taught. Whether they can understand something can only depend on their own understanding.

Zuo Lingquan was able to get away from the busy work outside the tea shop until it was almost noon, and returned to his small courtyard with a few new wooden boards in his arms.

It was obviously past the meal time, and the lingering aroma of fried pork remained in the courtyard.

When Zuo Lingquan entered the courtyard, he saw the door of the main room was open. Shangguan Lingye was sitting at the square table, with his hands resting on his face in a daze. There were covered plates and bowls and chopsticks in front of him. The profile looked as if he was waiting. Xiaojiabiyu's husband comes home for dinner.

The dumpling was almost insane, rolling on the table in circles, counting incessantly, and when Zuo Lingquan came back, he regained his energy, turned over and wanted to lift the covered plate by himself.

Zuo Lingquan put down the wooden board and said unexpectedly: "Why don't you eat first? Why wait for me?"

Shangguan Lingye came back to his senses, got up and went to the kitchen to serve dinner:

"It's nothing, I just want to experience the feeling of a secular woman. Although I can only deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt, these days feel much more leisurely than practicing Dao."

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and said, "That means we don't have any pressure. In the secular world, life is much more miserable than this."

Shangguan Lingye understood this truth, she just wanted to say, "It's nothing unacceptable to live like this after giving up longevity." Seeing that Zuo Lingquan didn't understand, she didn't say any more, and put the rice on the table , had breakfast together...

——

North of Jiuzong, Peach Blossom Pond.

Although the Nine Sects are called the "Nine Sects of the South", their sphere of influence has already covered the central part of Yuyaozhou. Fulong Mountain is the middle mountain of Yuyaozhou. After crossing the mountains and entering the endless desert, they reach the Central Continent Sword Emperor City, on the east side of the mountains. The ten thousand li territory up to the coast is under the jurisdiction of Taohuatan.

Taohuatan is famous for farming and weaving, and it is the source of the raw materials needed by the monks of the entire Yuyaozhou; planting and cultivating these materials requires a large-scale spiritual field, so the appearance near the Zongmen is completely different from other places.

The endless black soil plain is divided into countless small pieces, and the rivers in it are vertical and horizontal, and there are various picking and fertilizing equipment moving in it; the color of the spiritual grass is mostly gorgeous, and it looks colorful from the sky, just like A sea of ​​flowers.

Spirit grass is very delicate, and artificial cultivation requires careful care. To maintain such a large-scale spiritual field, it is not enough to rely solely on the disciples of the sect; Within the jurisdiction of the Nine Sects, there is the smallest barrier between immortals and mortals.

It was summer, and the sun was blazing on the plains.

The ancestor of Shangguan, who was dressed in a golden dragon scale dress, floated alone across the thousands of miles of plains, and came to a canyon surrounded by mountains.

The canyon has a radius of a hundred miles, and it is full of peach blossom trees that do not fade all the year round, spreading to the surrounding mountains. In the center is a cold pool of clear water. The breeze blows by, and the swaying ripples of the sea of ​​flowers are folded and integrated with the water surface. , the scene can be described as dreamlike.

Shangguan Yutang didn't disturb the disciples in the Taohuatan, and regarded the guardian array as nothing, and slowly landed beside the pool in the center of the canyon.

Bishui Hantan is surrounded by peach forests. There is a huge ancestral tree among which more than a dozen people hug the thick and thin. The umbrella-shaped tree canopy covers the sky and blocks out the sun. Tens of thousands of peach blossoms are blooming. Before you get close, the strong fragrance of flowers can fascinate you, and it is difficult to find a way out. , so no disciple dared to approach him for miles around.

Shangguan Yutang landed barefoot on the petals all over the ground, first glanced at the ancestral tree that was older than her, and then looked down at the crown of the tree.

The huge canopy blocked the sun, and the shade was shaded under the tree. There was also a stone tablet inserted near the pool. On the stone tablet were engraved the words '...Hand planted here'. The first three words were supposed to be the name of a person, but they were scraped off.

Under the canopy of the tree, there is a beauty couch made of vines that grew on its own, with several wine jars beside it.

The delicate figure of the woman in spring clothes lies on the beauty couch in an unsightly posture. Her proud breasts are flattened by the weight, revealing a tense silhouette from the side.

The fragrant buttocks wrapped in the spring shirt draw a perfect arc, connecting the plump and round legs, the skirt is not neat, revealing half of the suet jade-like calf, and the dark green embroidered shoes embroidered with petals are on the feet, and they are missing. One.

The hands of the woman in spring clothes are not very regular, one arm is placed under the cheek as a pillow, the other arm is hanging from the beauty's couch, and a small wine jar is hooked on the fingertips. The description is quite appropriate.

As the head of the Nine Sects, Shangguan Yutang has always been unsmiling, his personality is more ruthless and dignified than most men, and his requirements for his disciples are also stable and domineering.

Seeing that the woman hadn't woken up, Shangguan Yutang's eyes showed a three-point coldness, his fingers lightly curled up, and a water curtain appeared beside him, and the charming picture of the woman as drunk as mud was reflected in the water curtain.

This move is not to display the unknown immortal Divine Ability, it is simply a live broadcast, so that the disciples and grandchildren of Taohuatan can see what kind of virtue their venerable ancestors are in private.

However, this method is obviously more effective than Divine Ability. As soon as the water curtain unfolded, the Peach Blossom Lord on the beauty's couch raised his cheeks in a drunken state, raised his fingers to disperse the water curtain, and looked at the woman in the gold skirt in front of him, with beautiful peach blossom eyes. He looked surprised and said drunkenly:

"Eh? Yutang, why are you here? I thought you forgot about my sister..."

While speaking, he staggered to his feet, walked up to Shangguan Yutang with one bare foot, opened his arms and gave him a hug from old friends.

Shangguan Yutang has a slender figure and is taller than most men, while Lord Peach Blossom is more graceful and graceful, a little smaller in stature, and walking unsteadily. When he was only two steps away, he opened his arms and fell down, hugging him directly. Shangguan Yutang's waist and cheeks were buried between the tall skirts.

puff--

Shangguan Yutang frowned, and raised his hand to push the drunken Lord Peach Blossom away, only to find that she rubbed her cheek against the skirt of her shirt, and said in a drunken disgust:

"Huh~ The sandbags inside are not enough? It's quite big, not soft at all..."

? ! !

Mat? Sandbags?

Even with Shangguan Yutang's moody and indifferent temperament, his eyebrows were turned upside down by this sloppy talker, he raised his hand and threw the crazy woman back to the beauty's couch, and said in a cold voice:

"Old witch, do you want to die?"

"What are you doing~"

Lord Peach Blossom fell on the beauty couch, waved his sleeves in dissatisfaction, and then searched left and right.

Shangguan Yutang resisted the urge to do something, walked up to him, and kicked away the shoes he had thrown aside. Unexpectedly, Lord Peach Blossom was not looking for shoes at all. He searched around for a long time and took another jar of wine from under the ancestral tree. Come out, open the seal, hold it and bring it to your lips.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yutang's face became even colder.

Both of them are venerable masters, and they are both female cultivators. It stands to reason that they should have a good relationship with each other in private, but in fact it is definitely not the case.

If there is only one female cultivator among the eight masters, and she is very powerful, the other seven male cultivators will obey the orders of face, and they will be the same as each other, and there will not be too many conflicts.

But it is different when there are two female cultivators. Master Peach Blossom is also a female cultivator, and she is very 'feminine' - to put it simply, she likes to care about trivial matters - I always feel that 'they are both women, and they are all talkers of the Nine Sects. Why should you be big and I should be small, why should I listen to you? ’, no matter what, you have to make gestures with Shangguan Yutang.

Shangguan Yutang treats men and women equally, so naturally he will not accommodate Lord Peach Blossom. As the third elder of the Nine Sects, he used his absolute strength to prove to Lord Peach Blossom, "Why should I be the big one and you be the small one?"

The result was good, Lord Peach Blossom thought she couldn't talk it out so he took action. She was a shrew who bullied others based on her seniority. In a fit of anger, she retreated into seclusion in the mountains and never showed her face. She was very ready to withdraw from the Nine Sects Alliance.

However, the relationship between the nine major sects is intricate, and the absence of any one of them will have a huge impact. If they really choose to go it alone, Taohuatan itself will definitely be the first to collapse. In the end, Lord Fulong acted as a peacemaker and persuaded Lord Peach Blossom to calm down. After coming down, he and Shangguan Yutang are still in a cold war. The last time the attack on the barren mountain made a symbolic appearance, he didn't say a word to Shangguan Yutang.

Meeting privately at this time, Lord Peach Blossom was drunk and drunk, obviously not wanting to talk to her. Seeing that it was useless to speak up, Shangguan Yutang walked up to him and snatched the wine jar, and said coldly:

"Old witch, if you pretend to be crazy and foolish again, don't blame the deity for not showing mercy to you."

Lord Peach Blossom raised his hand and snatched it away, but he didn't snatch it back, and fell down on the beauty's couch again, looking at the woman in the golden skirt with cold eyes, he said drunkenly:

"You are also a woman, what can...what can you do to me? Hiccup~...If you were a man, I would be afraid that you would take me back...become a furnace, give birth to children...it's a pity that you can't do that, at most you are just like a shrew Give me a beating, what's there to be afraid of..."

As he said that, he put himself in a posture and lay down, opened his arms and said:

"Yutang, could it be that you have practiced so much...that you have really transformed yourself into a man?... If that's the case, I would like to see what you are capable of... If you can make me cry for father and mother, come on... ..."

? !

Shangguan Yutang looked coldly at the drunken Lord Peach Blossom, he wanted something from others, but he couldn't beat him up, so there was really nothing he could do at the moment. She took a breath, sat down on the beauty couch, and said seriously:

"I have business to look for you. On the East China Sea the day before yesterday, my apprentice wiped out the remnants of the alien race. He disappeared inexplicably and was not caused by manpower. Please help me find out the whereabouts."

Lord Peach Blossom got up lazily, sat behind Shangguan Yutang, looked at her side face with drunken eyes, leaned closer and hummed:

"People... didn't disappear in my Taohuatan...Tan territory, why should I help you? There is no such thing in the Nine Covenants."

The smell of mellow wine came over his face, Shangguan Yutang lost his patience a bit, turned his head and said:

"It's for your face to talk to you. I can ask myself. Then don't cry and say that I rob you of the opportunity."

Venerable Peach Blossom looked indifferent, and lay down again, looking for the wine jar under the beauty's couch:

"You can do whatever you want... No one in the Nine Sects knows how powerful you are. I am a lonely female cultivator, and I can't beat you, a great elder, alas..."

Shangguan Yutang's style of acting has always been straightforward, seeing that it was useless to persuade him with good words, he directly got up and went to the front of the ancestor tree, raised his hand and made a formula to start the Nine Palaces formation.

Lord Peach Blossom was just getting drunk, and he wasn't really stupid. Seeing that Shangguan Yutang was in a hurry, he probably could do anything, so he was a little sober, and changed his words:

"That's all. Seeing that we are all women and it is not easy for you, I will help you. But we have agreed in advance that this year Tiechu Mansion will raise half the price of the materials. This year's harvest is not good, and all the disciples and disciples will eat it. I can't afford to eat anymore, but it's not like you, who make fairy money by himself and spend as much as he wants."

The Tiechu Mansion controls the Xian family's coinage, but the raw material for the coinage is real spiritual energy, and the money earned is only a meager manual fee. There is no way to spend as much as you want to print.

Shangguan Yutang didn't want to owe favors, so he didn't refuse, stopped his movements, and signaled with his eyes.

"Alas~"

Lord Peach Blossom still looked drunk, stood up, staggered and walked to the old peach blossom tree, clasped his hands together, as if offering sacrifices to the gods.

call--

The breeze blows across the sea of ​​peach blossoms for thousands of miles, and the scenery of thousands of flowers blooming has not changed, but there seems to be something more on the ancestral tree.

This ancestral tree in Peach Blossom Pond once received enlightenment from Shenjun Mengzhang. Shenjun Mengzhang is the Azure Dragon among the five beasts of heaven. It is on the same level as Vermilion Bird. It is in charge of the east of heaven and earth and the tree of the five elements. It is the second highest god. To the lunar and sun.

Whether it is the eight great lords or the Youying alien race, they are all just creatures of heaven and earth that thrive on the bodies of gods. They do not belong to the same plane. To Shangguan Yutang, Shenjun Mengzhang is also a true god, so her expression is naturally a bit solemn.

Lord Peach Blossom stood in front of the ancestral tree, closed his eyes and prayed for a long time, the Peach Blossom tree responded, and a mist descended and landed on the pool below.

Shangguan Yutang looked around in the blink of an eye, but saw that the cold pool of clear water had turned into a bottomless wellhead.

At the other end of the deep well is a folk house with a square table inside; a young man and a woman in folk women's skirts sit across from each other at the table, with a plate of stir-fried meat and a pot of rice in front of them. The scene is like a farmhouse in the world. and a little white bird, standing on the table, buried its head in the bowl, gobbling it up.

Lord Peach Blossom opened his eyes, turned into a drunken appearance again, staggered to the front, put Shangguan Yutang's shoulders, and said unexpectedly:

"Girl Lingye has found a Taoist companion? She is really handsome, and it suits my taste..."

Shangguan Yutang felt a little more relaxed, and instead of answering this question, he asked:

"Where did they go?"

"It's a big chance, anyway, people who are looked at by the gods will benefit a lot, and it will probably come out soon...

"Hey~ This kid also knows how to serve women with vegetables, and he can feel sorry for others, but he doesn't look like a goose in your iron mansion...

"Hey~ Look, girl Lingye's eyes are still smiling, she's so feminine, she's not like the apprentice you taught..."

"Old witch, you only pay attention to these things?"

"Otherwise, what are you paying attention to? ... But that's right. Ascetic monks like you who only focus on cultivation and have never experienced the love between men and women, it's normal to not be interested in these things. It's really pitiful."

"Have you experienced it?"

"I'm different from you. I haven't met my destined Taoist companion. It's more interesting for two people to get drunk together than to drink alone."

Shangguan Yutang has always been straightforward, and responded:

"People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless, I just haven't met them."

This was originally a heartfelt answer, but after hearing it, Lord Peach Blossom actually burst out laughing, his branches trembling with laughter, and he was holding his stomach.

Shangguan Yutang's eyes sank slightly, and he looked at the old hag next to him:

"why are you laughing?"

Lord Peach Blossom suppressed his smile, and responded:

"You laugh at your lack of self-awareness. You haven't met me yet. You can't meet me. You are so clever. If a man becomes a Taoist partner with you, he will get a small beating in three days and a big beating in five days. Find it for yourself. Unbearable sin?

"Look at the monks in Yuyaozhou, who has thought about you? You will definitely die alone in this life, so don't imagine that you can meet a Taoist companion. If you take the initiative to pursue it, others don't necessarily want you... Ha ha……"

Speech is not a normal slap, and only Lord Peach Blossom in the Nine Schools dares to talk to Shangguan Yutang like that.

Shangguan Yutang is also well-cultivated, looking at the water calmly, he is not angry...
