Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 248: Yixiao makes people haggard

"Wan'er, are you tired?"

"Eager...anxious to coax baby Lingye?...Huh?..."

"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm just afraid that you will be tired..."

"Not tired."

"real?"

As the morning light dawned, incense filled the room, and a silk futon was placed between two ornately decorated bronze cranes.

Zuo Lingquan sat on the futon with a smile on his face and practiced seriously.

Wu Qingwan's long hair was spread on her back, and she was sitting face to face with Zuo Lingquan, also practicing. She was hugged around the waist and could not move left and right, only up and down.

Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can leisurely see the Nanshan Mountain.

Living in the paradise-like Peach Blossom Pond, although the doors and windows are closed and Nanshan Mountain cannot be seen, this kind of leisurely and comfortable life still makes people trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Although the pastoral scenery is good, after experiencing it for a long time, Niu and Tian will have to suffer first.

Wu Qingwan's cow was borrowed by her niece, but it could not be moved away by an unrelated outsider, so she wanted to put the cow down to prevent it from being dishonest and helping others to plow the land.

It's a pity that the cattle were carefully cared for in the past and fed to make the cattle a little strong. They couldn't withstand the paddy fields and dry land, and they were defeated first in the end.

"Forget it, I see how pitiful you are, go ahead, go ahead, alas~ You have no conscience..."

"I'm really not in a hurry..."

"Let's go, let's see you're upset, don't disturb me; I still want to go out for a walk today..."

"It's still early……"

"roll!"

Bang——

The door is closed.

Zuo Lingquan, who had just put on his clothes, was kicked out. He stood there shaking his head and chuckling. Without provoking the thin-skinned Qingwan any more, he went back to his room to wash up.

It was just dawn, and some disciples could be seen walking through Peach Blossom Pond in the distance. The house at the foot of the mountain was relatively quiet, and no one was disturbing them.

After Zuo Lingquan tidied up, he came to the other side to see what the Dowager Empress was doing.

The result is self-evident. If he banged the door at night and sat alone until dawn, it would make Zuo Lingquan look good. It must be because his daughter's family is stupid.

Under the morning light, the doors and windows of the bamboo building were closed, and there was no sound at all. At the edge of the empty terrace, Tuanzi stood blankly on the fence, looking at the peach blossom forest in front of him, doubting the birds.

So love disappears right?

Last night, Tuanzi was knocking on the bowl and waiting for food in the house. Finally, when the wet nurse came back, she started to eat and drink in a cute way as usual.

As a result, the wet nurse was feeding well, but she asked out of nowhere:

"Tuanzi, do you like me more or Jingxun more?"

Do you still need to ask this question?

My mother-in-law has asked her many times, and Tuanzi said “I like them all” without hesitation.

But the wet nurse then asked: "If we live together in the future, who do you think is older between me and Tang Jingxun?"

I've encountered this problem before, and Tuanzi was confused on the spot and couldn't understand.

"When we are together, do I care about her, or does she care about me?"

This time Tuanzi understood.

In Tuanzi's eyes, even the King of Heaven can't control his own mother when he comes. The ancestor Shangguan has been trained to obey orders honestly, how can you possibly control her?

Then Tuanzi had a good sleep, and was shaken awake before dawn, and was thrown out to let it go out to look for food, saying, 'The early bird catches the worm'.

Why eat insects when you can eat fish? Are there enough dried fish tubes as promised?

Judging from Tuanzi's many years of survival experience, he had pissed off the nanny, and he couldn't figure out how. But judging from past experience, he had to stand here for a long time, waiting for the nanny to change her mind.

Seeing Zuo Lingquan approaching, Tuanzi quickly flew down, spread his wings and chirped, seemingly talking about the inexplicable encounter yesterday.

Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and touched Xiaotuanzi, took out some spiritual fruits and placed them on the stone. Then he jumped up to the terrace on the second floor and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Dong Dong——

There was no response from inside, but the door opened on its own.

In the room, Shangguan Lingye got a beauty chair from somewhere and leaned on it lazily, holding a book in his hand and a plate of melon seeds next to him. He was eating melon seeds without raising his eyebrows.

Zuo Lingquan raised his eyes and saw that Shangguan Lingye's clothes had changed a bit. He was still wearing a phoenix skirt, but the stockings around his ankles were gone and replaced by light silk pants, which were completely covered.

Although her appearance is still beautiful and charming, she lacks a bit of that unnatural charm, which naturally makes her look a bit pity.

Zuo Lingquan straightened his clothes, entered the room with a calm look, and said softly:

"Lingye..."

"Did you call me Lingye?"

Shangguan Lingye's face was expressionless, and his eyes pointed at the pile of files on his desk:

"Have a night's rest. Are you comfortable? Go and approve those cases if you have nothing to do."

Zuo Lingquan looked at the small mountain of files and wondered where such a big case could come from so early in the morning. He spread his hands slightly.

Shangguan Lingye's eyes darkened slightly: "If you don't want to move, pay me back what you owe me now, and I'll go back to Dayan; there are people waiting for me in the Dowager Palace, so I'll be more comfortable than here."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan could sense that Shangguan Lingye was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything at the moment. He sat down behind the desk, flipped through the files, and said softly:

"I was reckless yesterday. At night, my queen came knocking on the door..."

"Who knocked on your door?"

"Well……"

"Hurry up and finish the case, and finally come to Taohuatan to exchange experiences. After you are done, I will tell Taohuatan that you will take the Qi Refining disciples to patrol the mountains."

"Mountain patrol?"

"What? If you are a good person, you can't bear this hardship? Who didn't start by digging herbs in the mountains?"

Zuo Lingquan could see that Shangguan Lingye was deliberately irritating him, so he nodded lightly:

"How is that possible? I just happened to be able to see the local customs of Peach Blossom Pond. What will the Dowager Empress do later?"

"I went to see the new robes from Taohuatan. I heard that a 'Qingluan Huayu' had just been released. It is a very beautiful style, limited edition, with different colors and styles. Half of the famous fairies from the nine sects came, and they were all beautiful. Celestial Immortal still thinks highly of you, but it’s a pity that you have something to do and won’t be able to go.”

"Really? I'm not very interested in this kind of occasion. Why don't you and Qingwan go over and pick out some clothes?"

Shangguan Lingye turned over a page of the album and said calmly:

"It's not like I don't have money and I need you to give it to me? Just patrol the mountains honestly. When those fairies asked you, I said you were not a womanizer and looked down on their vulgar fans, so I pushed him away for you."

"My queen still understands me."

"Cut~"

Shangguan Lingye saw that Zuo Lingquan was not annoyed at all and no longer interested in talking nonsense. He turned over and lay on his side on the beauty's couch and stopped talking to Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan smiled and opened the file on the table. When he saw the dense small characters on it, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then twitched the corner of his mouth again.

The mountains of files on the table are not things that just came in last night, but trivial cases that have been shelved for many years. The chief officials are too lazy to take care of them, and maybe even the parties involved themselves have forgotten about them.

"A female cultivator passed by the river and went on a wild outing. Her clothes were stolen by an idle man. She did not dare to do anything to a mortal, so she complained to the government..."

"The Independent Cultivator's apprentice refined the Yangqi Pill, but his skills were poor and he made a remnant product. It was stolen and sold to the world. The Yangqi Pill he ate was like iron, and it didn't go away for half a month?... He was sued by the people to the government, saying it was a fake. medicine……"

"The great squire of Yunzhou invited a monk to sit in and go into the gambling house to spend thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, the dice cup in the gambling house had an isolation effect, so the monk had no choice but to guess. As a result... he won twelve games in a row?!... The gambling house reported the official in anger. , bite the monk to death for cheating with secret methods..."

Zuo Lingquan tilted his head and looked for a long time, then asked:

"How should we judge these messes?"

Shangguan Lingye licked his fingers with the tip of his tongue, turned over a page of the picture album, and said casually:

"There is a reference file next to it. Look for it yourself. If you can't find it, ask me again."

Zuo Lingquan looked at the pile of books next to him and nodded slowly, suddenly understanding how hard it was for Jiang Yi to help handle the affairs.

Although the matter was simple, Zuo Lingquan did not muddle through it. After reading it carefully, he wrote down his own opinions and put them on the other side.

Shangguan Lingye was eating melon seeds beside him. He seemed to be recuperating leisurely, but his eyes were obviously a little wandering. He wanted to say something several times, but he swallowed the words again.

When it got dark, Shangguan Lingye couldn't speak, so he simply got up and took Qingwan with him to visit the Xianjia Market, taking the dumpling who was standing outside pretending to be pitiful with him, but not Zuo Lingquan.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan couldn't help but follow Shangguan Lingye shamelessly. After watching Shangguan Lingye leave, he continued to help with things in the house. As for the mountain patrol in the afternoon, he didn't go because he just finished processing the files on the table. , it probably only takes a few days. During the day, new files kept coming in, and I had to keep borrowing materials and reviewing them according to the rules. I didn’t even have time to get up...

——

On the other side, under the ancestral tree.

The sun was shining brightly by the lake, and there was shade under the trees. A charming woman in a dark green spring shirt was leaning drunkenly on the rattan couch, one shoe hooked on her toes, swaying in the air, looking at the big peach in the dense canopy, feeling a little worried.

Lord Peach Blossom was born before the Battle of Stealing Pills. The reason why she was not a veteran was because she was still young during the war and was sheltered in the rear and did not contribute much.

I vaguely remember that at that time, she liked to lie under the tree like this, waiting for the peaches on the tree to grow up.

The master said that when Taozi grows up and she eats it, she will become very powerful and can fight the phoenix with that fierce woman in Shangguan Yutang.

It's a pity that she waited and waited until the Nine Sects were rebuilt for many years before the peaches on the tree fully matured; she also became the second child among the Nine Sects' female nuns. The icing on the cake, the prestige cannot be compared to that fierce woman who helps in troubled times.

Why are you going against Shangguan Yutang? Apart from the fact that they are both women, why should you become big? ’ In addition to the reasons, there are many, many reasons. Anyway, in front of Shangguan Yutang, she cannot accept defeat and surrender.

But this big peach on the tree really stumped Lord Peach Blossom.

Knowing that Shangguan Yutang has a close relationship with Zuo Lingquan, she doesn't want to give him anything for free. Isn't she a stupid fool who is easy to bully?

It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t give it, Lord Peach Blossom knows Shangguan Yutang’s temper. If her junior gets a chance and lands in Shangguan Yutang’s Yutang Palace, whether Shangguan Yutang gives it or not, the original intention will not be because of the bad relationship between the two; If she takes out her personal grudge with Shangguan Yutang on the junior, the nature of it will change.

So I can only think of a way to make Zuo Lingquan respect her and put her on the same level as Shangguan Yutang. She gave this opportunity to her juniors, not to you, Shangguan Yutang, for nothing.

After living for so many years, Lord Peach Blossom has already seen through the affairs of the world. How can he not understand that the friendship between people relies on the accumulation of time and money, rather than being achieved overnight? A few words of assurance can rest assured that the back will be handed over to him. other side.

Once you make friends with someone for a purpose, it is definitely not a true friend. The more carefully you plan, the less sincere you are.

The easiest way to build friendship with each other is to share weal and woe, but Peach Blossom Lord, the majestic master of one party, cannot let go of his identity and travel around with Zuo Lingquan to conquer demons.

Even if she could let go of her identity, the result could only be - she slapped one by one from the front, from the main peak of the barren mountain to the edge of the North Sea. Zuo Lingquan carried a basket on his back, picking up things along the way, not daring to get close, for fear of the aftermath. Scratching to death, can this settle down the friendship of sharing weal and woe?

When Lord Peach Blossom was frowning, a gust of fragrant wind suddenly blew by the pool, and a group of petals fell under the ancestral tree, condensed into a human form, and bowed respectfully:

"Greetings to the ancestor."

When the junior came over, Lord Peach Blossom still didn't look drunk. He just turned his head and asked:

"Hua Zhu, is something wrong?"

"There are some rumors circulating in Sword Imperial City, saying that a burial place for immortals was found in the sea of ​​sand, which seems to be the place where the ancient demon Wuyezi retreated to death. I don't know whether the rumors are true or not, but many people are here pass."

Lord Peach Blossom frowned slightly and sat up.

In contemporary spiritual practice, many people have achieved immortality, but not one has achieved eternal life.

Many monks will find a place to close the barrier of life and death when their time is approaching. Failure will naturally become a burial place. There are many opportunities left in it. There are even Independent Cultivators who specially leave their experience of the exercises to avoid passing on what they have learned throughout their lives. No one.

Over the past few thousand years, all the remote areas of the Nine Sects have been dug up by Independent Cultivators. It is rare to encounter such a good thing; the Central Continent is too desolate and sparsely populated, so there are many such rumors, but there are names and surnames in history that have been dug up. A giant of the Immortal Family is still a rare thing.

The devil, Wu Yezi, was a hero who dominated the Central Continent thousands of years ago. He often came to the south to burn, kill, and loot. He was chased and killed by the elders of Master Peach Blossom and fled into the Central Continent known as the "Dead Sea". Sha Hai disappeared. His most notable feature was that he brought an immortal sword. Because the immortal sword was so difficult to find, this person has always been remembered.

Lord Peach Blossom recalled for a moment and said:

"I heard from the master that Wu Yezi's saber was given by the mysterious tortoise in the Northland, and it is a natural fairy soldier; it is reasonable to say that after the death of the master, when the master dies, he will run to find it by himself if he meets a good master. , even if you dig the grave, it may not be inside. Even if it is inside, it is not as good as the original owner, and the fairy sword will not come out..."

Mrs. Huazhu replied: "Yes, but Zuo Lingquan's swordsmanship has a chance to be favored by the fairy sword, and the five elements are hydrophilic, maybe there is a chance to get it..."

Lord Peach Blossom thought for a while: "No way. Zuo Lingquan has already refined water essence, Shangguan Yutang must want to give his sword to Zuo Lingquan, and if he gets the black water, he is also destined to be a concubine's sword; I found a fairy sword but used it as a concubine..."

"..."

Mrs. Huazhu obviously understood the temperament of the ancestor, and did not dare to sigh, and said seriously:

"Hmm... I feel that the burial place of Wu Yezi has not yet been found out, and the fairy sword may not be in it, and Zuo Lingquan may not get it in it. The ancestor is so far-sighted, um..."

Venerable Peach Blossom drank a little, thinking about it, he felt so, and fell down on the couch again:

"Then what else are you talking about, making me happy?"

Mrs. Huazhu shook her head quickly, and said softly: "Didn't the ancestor want to win over Zuo Lingquan? I mean, the news was told to him in the name of the ancestor, let him go to the Central Continent to try; it is naturally the best, and he will remember the ancestor. If the kindness is not fulfilled, it is just a trip in vain. If you encounter trouble and the ancestor shows his power and helps you to solve the problem, the kindness will be even greater."

Lord Peach Blossom thought about it for a moment and wanted to agree, but suddenly felt something was wrong:

"This news fits well with Zuo Lingquan. As soon as I heard it, I felt that he has a great chance... Zuo Lingquan's chances are too dense, luck is luck, luck is luck, you and me, bystanders, can't drift away. Let him remind him that chance and danger coexist. Pies that fell in vain will come back when the situation is bad. Sometimes the difference between life and death is just reaching out and picking up an extra white jade baht."

"yes."

————

Peach Blossom Pond ranks among the nine sects. There are not only peach blossom trees near the sect, but also various fairy family facilities.

Like other sects, a large city was built on the plain a hundred miles away to the east of Peach Blossom Pond, and next to it was the ferry Yinlin Port. Because it was the place where raw materials were produced, ferry boats came and went very intensively, and most of the monks were concentrated here.

Shangguan Lingye said that he came here to go shopping and buy clothes. It was not a joke. Taohuatan was famous for its farming and weaving. All kinds of robes and garments were unique in the Nine Sects. The nuns of the Zongmen basically only wore clothes from Taohuatan.

But the fairies gathered here to snap up the purchases was just a joke of Zuo Lingquan, how could the really famous fairies travel so far by themselves, they would deliver the goods to their door or send someone to choose them, and the female cultivators who happened to pass by would wander around the city.

Yuzhi Building is the property of the Taohuatan Sect. It only accepts female nuns of certain status. The dresses bought in it are exquisitely crafted. Although they are flashy and do not pay attention to functions, they are also expensive. It's beautiful and unique, and there are always female nuns who are not short of money.

Wu Qingwan likes beautiful clothes, but she is really reluctant to let her spend a lot of money to buy a fancy dress that is not useful, so she has been following Shangguan Lingye to help her find it.

Tuanzi was also standing at the window, pointing with his wings. It seemed that he and Tang Jingxun had gone out to buy clothes before.

Shangguan Lingye's expression was the same as before, but his thoughts were obviously not on his clothes.

Wu Qingwan roughly understands Shangguan Lingye's current mood. She didn't let Zuo Lingquan go last night. It was a matter of principle-the man on her body, because someone knocked on the door halfway, she kicked him out to coax him. That's not too humble. , after entering the door, you are not allowed to get up in the middle to serve tea and water to others.

But in her heart, she had no intention of hindering the two of them. Seeing that Shangguan Lingye was absent-minded, Wu Qingwan said:

"Did your Majesty knock on the door last night?"

Shangguan Lingye knocked on the door, but he didn't want to disturb them and was angry, so he deliberately scared the two of them. Seeing Wu Qingwan mention it, she chuckled and said:

"It was a knock. I originally wanted to talk to Zuo Lingquan about something, but I realized the time was not right, so I left."

"Ling Quan originally wanted to go to find the empress, but at that time... oh~ Immortal was too drunk, I was drunk at the time, so I rolled around and refused to let him go. In fact, he was always worried about you..."

Shangguan Lingye was not angry at all because of this matter, but yesterday he was impulsive and wanted to come to the door to confess, but it didn't work out, and he didn't know how to face it when he held back his courage.

Seeing Wu Qingwan taking the responsibility on herself, Shangguan Lingye shook his head and said:

"I'm not like him, so there's nothing to worry about. You're young and it's normal that you can't stand the urge to drink. There's no need to blame yourself for it."

"I'm just afraid that the queen will be angry with Ling Quan."

"How could that be? I just tricked him into helping me with my official duties. Sister Qingwan, don't think too much about it."

girl...

Wu Qingwan blinked her eyes. In the past, Shangguan Lingye occasionally called her Miss Qingwan, which didn't sound like much, but today it sounded a bit awkward for some reason.

Shangguan Lingye is older than Shangguan Lingye in terms of age and cultivation. The only big thing about her is her breasts. She can't use this to rank seniority. She can only laugh and say:

"Your Majesty, she looks younger than me. It's weird to call me a girl. Just call me Qingwan."

Shangguan Lingye pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say much.

On the window sill, Tuanzi couldn't understand the inexplicable conversation of the two women. Based on the principle of talking less and eating more, he moved his eyes out of the window and looked at the bustling city.

But when he looked at it, he suddenly saw at the end of his field of vision, a ferry slowly lifted into the sky. On the edge of the deck, there was a little girl lying on the fence boredly, holding her face with her hands, looking at the gradually shrinking city.

"grumble?"

Tuanzi thought it looked familiar, tilted his head and looked at it, then raised his wings and pointed.

Shangguan Lingye couldn't understand the birdsong, came to him, glanced outside, but found nothing worth noting, and finally stopped his gaze on a shop selling rations for spirit beasts.

"Do you want to change your taste?"

"Chiji..."

"Okay, I'll go out and buy it for you later?"

"grumble?"

"don't want?"

"..., squeak~!"
