Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 252 Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory

At noon, the mountain breeze is hunting.

Jiang Yi was wearing a red dress, standing on the covered bridge outside the main peak of the barren mountain, looking at the mountains in the north.

The covered bridge was just built not long ago. It is made of huge wood and is six feet wide. It is supported by huge pillars and suspended in mid-air. It leads directly to the center of Jingtai Sect. There are thousands of sculptures of birds and beasts placed on the fences on both sides, among which there are sculptures unique to Barren Mountain. White Mountain Spirit.

Because the White Mountain Spirit looked similar to Tuanzi, Jiang Yi stood next to the sculpture. Compared with the majestic covered bridge, Jiang Yi's back was like a small dot.

Between the mountains in front of you, huge beasts are slowly walking through carrying stones. The formation masters from Fulong Mountain and the craftsmen from Heavenly Emperor City are commanding their apprentices on the mountain tops to carefully carve magnificent or exquisite buildings.

At the beginning of winter last year, the stolen elixirs escaped. Although they did not attack the stunning terrace located among the mountains, the aftermath still destroyed most of the buildings in the sect.

The structure of the sect is very particular, and repairs are too cumbersome. Moreover, since the stolen elixir is gone, there is no need to pay attention to the main peak of the barren mountain. The original layout has lost its effect. The Jing Terrace has simply been pushed to the construction of a new one. It was built from last year to this year. , is nearly completed.

When Stealing Pill rushed out of the main peak of Barren Mountain, the entire south side of the mountain was knocked open. The sacred fire Grotto-Heaven below became very unstable and was temporarily closed to no longer allow disciples to approach. Only the villa originally built on the mountainside was still there. Some people.

The villa was originally the residence of Qiu Boyue, the founder of the sect. At first, there was only a small house. After marrying and having children, it was expanded several times. Now it has become the ancestral home of the Qiu family and can be regarded as the ancestral hall.

Qiu Boyue is younger among the eight masters, but he is definitely not young. He has been passed down for thousands of years. Logically speaking, the Qiu family should be a prosperous family, but in fact it is not like this.

The higher the level of humanity in cultivation, the more cautious one is about bloodline inheritance. The reason is very simple - dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes.

Although heaven and earth do not restrict high-level monks from having children, high-level monks can already live forever and do not need to rely on quick birth and death to continue their bloodline. If they give birth to an heir, they will not give birth to an ordinary descendant with a life span of only a few decades. To add to the pain of losing a child for nothing, if you want to have children, you will only have children and grandchildren who can also live forever.

The investment in conceiving offspring in this way must be huge. It is not just a casual act that will give birth to the most beloved children time and time again. The high investment in training invisibly limits the number of children a monk can have.

If you just care about having children and not raising them, then no matter how many lives you have, you will be just ordinary people, and your children and grandchildren will all be passers-by in the world. The ancestor is left alone to send people with white hair to people with black hair every day. I am afraid that not many people are willing to live that kind of life.

Not only practitioners, but also ordinary birds, beasts, fish and insects, the longer their lifespan is, the fewer their heirs will be. The reason is the hard limit of the resources of heaven and earth.

The Chou family has been a single lineage since the ancestor Qiu Boyue, and now there are only a few members in the entire Chou family. There are some distant relatives such as grandparents, but they are not here in Huangshan.

Jiang Yi followed Patriarch Shangguan to the barren mountain. The people brought by Lord Linyuan were naturally distinguished guests, and the enemy family settled them in the villa.

After half a month, Jiang Yi had not seen anyone in the villa. It is said that the Lord of Huangshan was injured and was recuperating in an unknown place. He could not come out for several years. The Shangguan Patriarch accompanied Tang Jingxun and soaked in the sacred fire Grotto-Heaven together. Although her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, But it's still very low, and I can't stay in the Grotto-Heaven for a long time. I can only go in and out slowly.

At noon, the anger was at its peak. Jiang Yi couldn't bear the surging power in the divine fire Grotto-Heaven, so she stood resting on the edge of the covered bridge, looking into the distance, wondering if the Empress Dowager was stealing her home.

Leng Zhu, as a personal servant girl, has followed suit this time, standing in front of her at this time, trying to hug the sculpture of Baishanjing, which is much bigger than her.

Finding Jiang Yi hugging her chest, with worry sometimes appearing in her eyes, Leng Zhu comforted her:

"Are you worried about Mr. Zuo, princess? Don't worry, the concubine is with you. Mr. Zuo will be fine, and my aunt will definitely be safe too..."

Jiang Yi was here as a concubine just because the concubine was in front of Zuo Lingquan. Seeing this stupid maid who couldn't figure out her intentions, she frowned and said:

"Why am I worried about what he is doing? I am worried that without me here, my aunt and the concubine will not be able to talk to each other, and I will be bored alone."

"How can aunt be bored? The princess is not here..."

Leng Zhu originally wanted to say, "You can let go of the mess with Mr. Zuo", but when she sensed that Jiang Yi's eyes were wrong, she might immediately go back to the Great Dan, and quickly changed her words: "The princess is not here, my aunt must have been thinking about the princess, Should we get in touch?”

Jiang Yi didn't want to disturb Zuo Lingquan and the others, and she really contacted them. If Zuo Lingquan was practicing and my aunt covered her mouth and chatted with her, she would have to die.

The more she thought about these messy things, the more sad she became. Jiang Yi didn't want to talk anymore and turned towards the entrance of the divine fire Grotto-Heaven.

Leng Zhu shrugged angrily and followed behind, but before he finished walking across the covered bridge, he saw two figures walking out from the other end of the covered bridge.

The people who came were also a pair of master and servant. The figure walking in front was a woman, dressed in a snow-colored dress, tall and slender, completely spotless, with a white veil covering her face, all she could see was her long black hair, like a cold star. He has sharp bright eyes and eyebrows like willow leaves. He doesn't look fierce, but he is very cold, which makes people feel unattainable at first sight.

There is also a woman behind, dressed like a housekeeper in a high-ranking family, with a slightly longer face, more charming, dignified and dignified, holding a long sword with a white sheath in her hand, walking briskly behind her, looking at the two of them.

After Jiang Yi came to stay here, she knew that there were other people in the barren mountains, but she had never seen them. Suddenly she saw two people coming out of it, and she was stunned for a moment.

Although she hadn't seen the two people who came out, Jiang Yi probably guessed that the person who came was probably the eldest lady who came out.

In Dengchao Port before, Jiang Yi saw Miss Qiu who had returned from Huajunzhou from a distance through the perspective of Zuo Lingquan. It was also the same lineup, one in front and one in back, and her temperament was similar.

After coming to the barren mountain, Jiang Yi had no chance to inquire about these things. She was very unfamiliar with this young lady from the Xian family who had an outrageous background; The two of them went over.

Miss Qiu was evaluated by Shangguan Lingye as having "poor swordsmanship, poor skills, low understanding, poor talent, and the second oldest child in ten thousand years...", but the reality is definitely not so bad; how could such an ordinary person be allowed to do so? Throwing so many adjectives at Shangguan Lingye, who has a high self-esteem, must at least make Shangguan Lingye find it a difficult opponent to have such a deep impression.

As one of the young masters with the largest background in the Nine Sects, it is inevitable to have a high profile. Miss Qiu walked in the middle of the corridor bridge, walking without looking sideways, as if she did not notice the two of them at all, or perhaps she noticed them but had no intention of paying attention to them.

At least the other party started at the Jade Level, Jiang Yi didn't care about it. After the other party entered, he wanted to continue walking towards the Divine Fire Grotto-Heaven.

But what Jiang Yi didn't expect was that after Miss Qiu walked over, she suddenly stopped and looked back at her and Leng Zhu:

"Are you the new disciple of Lord Linyuan?"

The sound is like a silver bell, like water like a song, the voice sounds very comfortable, but there is a hint of sharpness in it.

Jiang Yi was very surprised, stopped, turned around and nodded slightly:

"Fairy misunderstood, I just followed Lord Linyuan along the way, not Lord Linyuan's apprentice."

In the realm of the Nine Sects, even if the person who can be taken out by a lord to go out to practice, even if he is not an apprentice, he must have a great relationship.

Miss Qiu knew that the ancestor of Shangguan was alone, Jiang Yi couldn't be the ancestor's daughter and niece, so she treated them all as apprentices, she said:

"You look much more comfortable than Shangguan Lingye. If you practice hard, your achievements will not be worse than hers in the future."

"Um?"

Jiang Yi was at a loss, and of course there was a little bit of surprise. She hesitated for a while before responding:

"Fairy's reward."

Miss Qiu didn't seem to have any intention of making friends. After saying a word without thinking, she stopped talking and turned to leave.

Jiang Yi didn't say much, and watched the master and servant leave with some doubts.

But before the two of them took a few steps, Jiang Yi saw a white rainbow flying from the mountains, landing on the covered bridge, and transformed into an elegant man wearing a brocade robe.

The man Jiang Yi has seen before, it is the sword-wielding elder Qiu Fengqing who shocked the terrace. When he came here last time, Qiu Fengqing was neither humble nor overbearing when he saw Lord Linyuan. , said with a smile:

"Niu Niu, Dad was just discussing with Lao Zhao in the Moon Forest about building a new ferry for you. I didn't expect you to leave customs early and come late..."

Niu Niu......

Jiang Yi's eyes widened slightly, she didn't expect this cold-looking fairy to have such a down-to-earth nickname.

But she didn't think it was funny. She was born in the emperor's family and grew up in Qihuang Valley since she was a child. Speaking of which, she has never gotten along with her father like a father and daughter in the world. Faced with such a scene, it is difficult to say The feeling described may be envy.

However, Miss Qiu, who was favored as the apple of her eye, didn't seem to want to appreciate it, she just nodded her head slightly, and walked across the covered bridge like a stranger without stopping.

Qiu Fengqing is under the lord of the barren mountain, the top figure in the mountain gate of Tiantai Town, who can be regarded as a giant wherever he is placed, but faced with this situation, he also showed helplessness. He didn't chase after him, but just stood there and watched embarrassingly .

It's not good for Jiang Yi to watch other people's housework, but it's inappropriate to turn around and leave, so she said hello:

"Senior Qiu."

Qiu Fengqing's eyes were complicated, and after her daughter left, she shook her head and sighed, showing a wry smile:

"Oh~ I made the princess laugh."

"Senior Qiu is being polite, just call me Jiang Yi."

Jiang Yi is the eldest princess of the Great Dan Dynasty. The Great Dan Dynasty is a secular dynasty with its back on the Jingtai Terrace. It is on the other side of the barren hill. It is reasonable to call Jiang Yi a princess, but Qiu Fengqing can be called that, obviously because of the behind For the sake of Lord Linyuan.

Lord Linyuan was nearby, and Qiu Fengqing met Jiang Yi, but he didn't leave him alone, and came to him and said:

"How is the princess living on the mountain these days? There is no suitable person at home to accompany the princess, so I have neglected the princess. Originally, the kid from Zuo Yunting was on the mountain, and he is also from the Great Dan. He and the princess seem to be relatives, so we can talk to each other." , It’s a pity that I went out a few days ago.”

Jiang Yi knew that Zuo Yunting was here, and after coming to the barren mountain, she still wanted to inquire about that idiot, and asked after hearing this:

"Where did Zuo Yunting go?"

"I went to the Central Continent with Lao Lu. There seems to be news of the fairy sword over there. Qi Jia went home to grab the opportunity, and he followed to help."

"help?"

Jiang Yi blinked her eyes, thinking that this was too nonsense, Zuo Yunting was famous for doing whatever she wanted in the Great Dan capital, and the only way she could think of to help was to stay at home and not move around, so as not to drag her teammates down .

Qiu Fengqing's sense of Zuo Yunting is actually good. Seeing Jiang Yi's strange expression, he said with a smile:

"Don't underestimate Zuo Yunting, he can't do anything else, but... but... he doesn't seem to be able to do much, but this kid is lucky and popular. With practice, luck is as good as anything. Back then, the few of us I was wandering outside with Lao Lu. At that time, Lao Lu was ruthless and dared to do anything. We all knew that we should not be friends with each other, but we couldn’t hold back that kid. He was really lucky. He could find Law Treasure cheats wherever he went. , I can’t bear to break up the relationship even if I want to…”

Jiang Yi is as interested in the past events of these immortal bosses as Zuo Lingquan. She has heard about Lao Lu and said curiously:

"In this way, Mr. Lu's achievements should be very high, but now Mr. Lu seems to be not as powerful as Senior Qiu."

Qiu Fengqing recalled the past, sighed, and said earnestly:

"Cultivation is all about cultivating the mind. Law Treasure chance and even long-term vision are all bait to arouse the greed in the heart. If you get too deep and forget why you practice, it may be too late when you want to look back; Lao Lu made a mistake. The mistake was that I didn't fight hard to the end, otherwise I wouldn't be able to become an immortal, or I could become a Great Demon, but I would regret it halfway, and the result would be that I can't achieve either."

Jiang Yi seemed to understand.

"It's normal that you don't understand now. There are many ways to practice such things. There used to be a swordsman in the Central Continent named Lin Zifeng, who was a bit older than me. He was considered a hero in the Central Continent, and he even mentioned something to me; it's a pity He loves swords like he is obsessed with demons, he can't understand the sword, he thinks it's caused by the shackles in his heart, and gradually no longer distinguishes between good and evil, enemies and friends, and when he feels it, he draws the sword, and kills when he draws the sword, completely becoming a martial arts lunatic ;Because no one can judge his intentions, maybe one moment he is a brother, and the next moment he kills people, so that in the end everyone will attack him first when they meet him, even the relatives and friends in the past..."

"Then what happened to this man?"

"There has been no movement for some years. Either he died or changed. However, the evil deeds in the past are irreversible. If you look at it, you will commit suicide. If you can find the right path, who will reason with someone who died in vain?"

Qiu Fengqing chatted a few words casually, and felt that Jiang Yi didn't quite understand these big principles involving Taoism, so she laughed again:

"This kid Zuo Yunting is amazing because he sees things clearly. He has countless small problems but knows big things. If Zuo Lingquan's talent is divided into one-tenth, I'm afraid he won't be able to meet the bottleneck in his life. It's a pity for God. It’s just so fair and won’t concentrate all the advantages on one person.”

Jiang Yi nodded slightly, but when it came to her man, she still didn't agree:

"I think Zuo Lingquan doesn't have any shortcomings."

"It is Saint who has no shortcomings. Saint usually has to do big things, and he is destined to be vigorous. He has no chance to be in front of the bottle. There is a saying in the world that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. Why not practice the Tao."

Qiu Fengqing looked at the direction in which his daughter was leaving. This sentence was probably talking about himself. He sighed softly, said nothing more, and raised his hand to say goodbye.

Jiang Yi stood where she was, reflecting on what she said just now, and she really hoped that she and Zuo Lingquan could live in peace and tranquility for the rest of their lives, instead of being full of vigor and danger, and still a little bit entangled.

However, these things were very far away. Jiang Yi did not think about it. After there was no one else on the covered bridge, she and Leng Zhu entered the entrance of the divine fire Grotto-Heaven...

——

call--

The sand dunes are like waves, undulating and stretching to the sky. The cross wind blows up the flying sand and flutters between the sand dunes. Under the silver moonlight, it looks like white mist.

The moon in the desert is huge, like a silver disc hanging in the air, within reach; the scenery of the Galaxy above is far more gorgeous and magnificent than the barren sand sea, so that people walking in it always stare at the sky, Even forgetting the distance between each other.

On the east side of the sand sea, on an unnamed sand dune, a bearded man in a cloak walked along the ridge line of the hill on a moonlit night. The cloak was blown to the side, making a sound of hunting, like a black flag moving in the sand sea , sometimes revealing the sword hilt wrapped in linen under the cloak.

Behind the man, a scholar in a robe, a square scarf on his head, and a folding fan in his hand walked slowly behind.

The scholar is very slender, looks fragile, and his chest muscles are a little too small; his face is as white as jade, his eyes are clear and energetic, even if his face is too feminine, he looks like a rare handsome young man in the world. Compared with the bearded man in front of him, Yun The difference between mud.

Although there are two men walking together, there is no one around, one is tough and masculine, the other is feminine and handsome, walking together will still make outsiders misunderstand the relationship between the two; especially the bearded man, who will turn his head to glance at the scholar behind him from time to time , that look seems to say, "Although the moonlight is beautiful, it's not as good as you." People who don't know the inside story may get goose bumps all over their bodies.

The two strangers on the sand dunes are naturally Shangguan Lingye, who is a woman disguised as a man, and Zuo Lingquan, who is a man who is disguised as a beast.

After arriving at the Central Continent, Zuo Lingquan didn't stop for a moment and didn't make contact with outsiders. He sneaked across the residences of several big families and entered the sand sea from a remote place.

The sand sea is extremely vast, occupying less than half of the western part of the Central Continent, and all you can see are sand and rare oases, but there are more things inside; the more inaccessible the place, the easier it is for high-level monsters to hide, and the distribution of aura is uneven The strange geographical environment caused by it, as well as wild repairs that may appear at any time, all make entering the sandy sea bring a certain degree of danger.

As the name suggests, the Bone Burial Ground is buried underground, and the wind keeps changing the surface of the ground. No one knows how deep it is buried, and most of them have formations to conceal the energy inside. Meaning, otherwise the Eight Lords would know at a glance where the spiritual mines are buried in the Nine Sects' territory. If you want to find something buried in the ground, you still have to go through field surveys to confirm it.

Zuo Lingquan didn't have a deep understanding of these researches, so he had no other means other than digging with a shovel. Naturally, the exploration work was handed over to the knowledgeable and talented Ling Ye. The two of them walked hundreds of miles from the edge of the sand sea, and explored no less than a hundred locations. , except for finding some scattered debris, no target was found; during the period, I also encountered some treasure-hunting Independent Cultivators, but they were all little monks, and there was no intersection.

Wu Qingwan logically said that she should also wander around and dig treasures, but Shangguan Lingye's disguise was too sophisticated, forcing the beautiful young woman with narrow shoulders, round hips and big breasts to be an ordinary, down-and-out nun.

As the saying goes, "A woman is the one who pleases herself." Wu Qingwan didn't even want to look in the mirror. How could she be willing to stay by her lover's side and let him see her honor all the time? Ye handles official business.

The white and round dumpling also failed to escape the poisonous hands. It was dressed as a yellow-brown sand lark that you can meet in the desert, and turned into a "scout chicken" to help scout around.

Zuo Lingquan was also quite dissatisfied with his appearance as a rough guy. After pondering for a long time, he felt that Ling Ye did it on purpose to make Qing Wan voluntarily stay in Huafang to work. He walked on the sand dune, looked back at The concubine in the back:

"Lingye, if you dress me and Qingwan like this, and just put on men's clothing casually, will you show your flaws?"

Shangguan Lingye stopped on the sand dune, looked down at the details of the ground, and heard Zuo Lingquan's words, she looked down at the scholar's robe on her body:

"What's the flaw?"

Zuo Lingquan slowed down and walked side by side on the sand dunes, looking at the beautiful side face with a different appearance but no less appearance:

"The whole body is full of flaws, the face looks like a woman, and the body proportions, the waist is too thin, the legs are too long, looks very thin, but the bust and hips are big..."

?

Shangguan Lingye narrowed his eyes slightly and stood up straight.

Zuo Lingquan quickly moved his eyes away from the graceful hip line, seriously:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the facts, I don't mean to be glib; this kind of body proportion can't appear on a man, the most obvious thing is the walking posture, a man who walks like this and twists his buttocks is easy to get beaten..."

Shangguan Lingye knew that she was full of loopholes, she acted like a fan of the authorities, and said doubtfully:

"I walk like this all the time, and I don't think there is a problem. Is it strange? Why don't you learn it and let me see?"

"I……"

Zuo Lingquan was about to take advantage of the opportunity to imitate the swaying steps of the empress dowager, but he stopped immediately because of his quick reaction.

He turned his head to look at Shangguan Lingye, who was pretending to be stupid, and wanted to continue explaining, but felt that he couldn't wake up the foolish person, so he took advantage of the situation and said:

"Since that's the case, if I am such a tough guy, I will definitely have to correct it if I meet a Monster Qi sissy, otherwise it will be too fake."

As he spoke, Zuo Lingquan glared and made a fierce expression: "Walk carefully for me, how can a big man behave like this?" He raised his hand and patted Shangguan Lingye's fragrant buttocks. .

Shangguan Lingye's posture is self-explanatory, he twisted his waist slightly to prevent Zuo Lingquan from succeeding, but he didn't joke anymore, his eyes signaled his appearance:

"Both of us are disguised so perfectly that people can't figure out the reality and want to investigate carefully. The target of the other party is you. I dress up like I'm full of flaws. If someone is interested in investigating, they will focus on me and won't think You also disguised yourself, took a glance and left."

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but it also makes sense, Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a while, and stopped entangled in this matter, but he didn't let go.

At this time, Shangguan Lingye was leaning over and putting his hands on the sand dune to feel it. The large bowing action made the hem of the originally loose scholar's robe tight against the buttocks, and outlined the original curve under the lower waist, which was full of tension. The fabric didn't even have any wrinkles. Looking at it by the moonlight, it looked like a big ripe peach, and it felt a bit rounder than the big moon in the sky.

There was no one around, and Zuo Lingquan inevitably had some distracting thoughts in his heart. After tracing his eyes slightly, he continued:

"Since it looks like a woman, a man and a widow stay together, and I'm such a man, it feels weird not to move my hands and feet..."

Speaking like a rough old man, he stretched out his hand to Shangguan Lingye's buttocks, as if he wanted to play with it.

Zuo Lingquan originally thought that Shangguan Lingye would hide away again, but he didn't expect to reach out and feel soft and warm. He could feel the amazing elasticity under the robe, and he really touched it.

"..."

Zuo Lingquan stood behind him, maintaining a very unflattering posture, blinking his eyes, then raising his hand and patting it as if to cover his ears, and explained as if to dust off:

"Well...there's sand, I just shot the ash..."

Bang bang——

On the soft fabric, there were slight ripples like flesh waves, and Zuo Lingquan's heart jumped when he saw it.

Shangguan Lingye closed her eyes to perceive the situation underground, and seemed unable to pay attention to it. Without turning her head, she said in a deep voice:

"Let you come out to find opportunities, are you thinking about these things?"

Um.

Zuo Lingquan thought so, but he couldn't say that, he stopped angrily:

"It's nothing but sand, it's just sand, just a joke."

"Hmph~"

Shangguan Lingye didn't care about Zuo Lingquan's move, and said calmly: "If you feel bored, you can go back to Huafang to accompany your family Qingwan. That way I don't have to share your share when I find a great opportunity."

Zuo Lingquan naturally wouldn't let Shangguan Lingye work here alone, he smiled and said:

"According to the rules of practice, this kind of thing is divided into things according to the amount of effort. I can't help anything now, and it should be all yours."

To put it bluntly, Shangguan Lingye is actually a bit of a loser. After all, no matter how many treasures she saves, if she is extorted by Zuo Lingye in the future, it will all become a dowry.

However, Zuo Lingquan didn't have the heart to cheat money and robbery, and Shangguan Lingye didn't think too far, so he nodded and said:

"This is what you said. If I really get the fairy sword, I will switch to martial arts and practice swords. When the time comes, don't be jealous and say that I will steal your chance."

"how could be."

…

The two chatted at a distance, and then explored a distance. Zuo Lingquan really couldn't help, so he put his mind on each other, wanting to talk about some topics between men and women, so that Lingye could find the needle in the haystack. Not too boring.

But Zuo Lingquan hadn't figured out what to say when the sound of flapping wings could be heard in the distance.

"Jiji!"

The two of them looked up at the front at the same time, only to see Huang Buliuqiu's dumpling flying over from a distance at a very fast speed, with its small wings fanning out afterimages, and chirping in a somewhat anxious voice.

Zuo Lingquan's expression froze, knowing that Tuanzi must have found something, he hurried to meet him...
