Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 254 Get yourself drunk

Without the pressure of survival, the scenery of the yellow sand desert is undoubtedly magnificent.

It's past three o'clock, and the silver moon has already reached the top of our head. Under the bright moonlight, the sand sea is endless, and the bonfires lit in the crescent-like spring bay are the only bright spots in the surrounding fields.

Practitioners do not need to keep out the cold, but lighting a bonfire when resting in the wild should always make it brighter and warmer. If discovered by outsiders, they may be misjudged as a lowly monk, so as not to arouse suspicion about the realm.

Beside the bonfire, Xie Qiutao sat on the ground, holding the iron pipa in his arms, alternating his five fingers, playing foreign tunes from the far north.

Dang Dang Dang~

Xie Qiutao has a naturally mature character, and has a good relationship with Zuo Lingquan and Shangguan Lingye. When they reunited after a long separation, they were naturally in a good mood and played the music very cheerfully; the pipa had a deep tone and the sound was not loud, but it felt The sound struck the heartstrings, and even the surface of the calm lake next to it rippled slightly with the beat.

Zuo Lingquan didn't study music deeply, so he could only listen to the sounds. At this time, he was quite excited. He had a long sword by his side and a wine bowl in his hand, and he was telling vague stories in his memory impromptu.

Shangguan Lingye sat next to him. He was very happy to hear this when he was rarely in such a leisurely mood before. However, in front of the juniors, he still maintained the temperament of a lady, being serious in speech and rarely interrupting.

Tuanzi prefers to be lively, mainly because the more people there are, the more people will pet it. At this time, it was rolling in the sand next to the bonfire, rolling out a big circle between the three of them, and following the beat of "Gujiji~ Gujiji~" ' sang.

No matter how long the song is, there will always be a time when it is finished. At the end of the song, Xie Qiutao put down the iron pipa, picked up the wine bowl containing immortal wine and took a sip. The strong wine on it made him stick out his tongue:

"Hey~ I drank Immortal Drunk last time at Sixiangzhai, and it wasn't that strong. It tasted pretty good."

As soon as he said this, his face turned red.

Zuo Lingquan had no intention of pouring Taotao over and eating Taotao. When he saw this, he dissuaded him:

"The wine you drank last time was made by the disciples of Peach Blossom Pond. This jar is the handiwork of Master Peach Blossom Pond, so the stamina will naturally be different. Don't drink too much, otherwise it will be normal for you to stay drunk for three to five months."

Lord Peach Blossom made two altars of immortals drunk. Zuo Lingquan drank several times, but in total he drank less than half of the altar, because this thing was too strong. According to Shangguan Lingye's practice, if he did not deliberately dispel the drunkenness, , also poured in a bowl, Xie Qiutao drank a jar of wine, if no one sobered up, it is not unusual to be drunk for three to five months.

Xie Qiutao actually liked the feeling of sleepwalking when she was drunk, but when she was out and about, drinking too much was harmful and unhelpful. Hearing this, she changed to taking small sips and looked to the left and right:

"Sister Shangguan said that Sister Wu is here too, why didn't you see her?"

"Qingwan is hiding in the dark to protect us. She doesn't show up easily. I'll call her."

Zuo Lingquan put down the wine bowl, rose up with his sword, and flew towards a flowing cloud in the sky.

Xie Qiutao was dubious about this. As Zuo Lingquan left, there were only two people and one bird left by the bonfire, and the atmosphere became silent.

Shangguan Lingye didn't want to talk about cultivation-related matters now, but he lacked the accumulation of daily life and couldn't find a topic, so he set his sights in the direction Zuo Lingquan left, waiting for the man to come back.

Fortunately, Xie Qiutao suffers from social obsessive-compulsive disorder. If she doesn't talk to others, she will feel uncomfortable all over. Seeing that Shangguan Lingye didn't speak, she rolled her eyes slightly and took the initiative to sit closer:

"Sister Shangguan?"

"Um?"

Shangguan Lingye turned around and said with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Xie Qiutao smiled "Hee hee~" with a rather strange look in his eyes. He looked at Zuo Lingquan's retreating back and whispered:

"Sister Shangguan, do you have a sweetheart?"

Tuanzi lay on his back in front of the two of them and said "ji~", which probably meant: "Do you even need to ask?"

Shangguan Lingye has accepted his relationship with Zuo Lingquan, but when asked this question by outsiders, he still shows the arrogance in his heart, or the shyness of a daughter. She looked surprised and sneered:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm eighty years older than him, and I'm the concubine of Emperor Yan. I'm several levels higher than him. How can I miss him?"

"I haven't said anything about Mr. Zuo yet. I just asked if I have a sweetheart. Sister Shangguan's answer is really sincere."

"..."

Shangguan Lingye opened his red lips. According to his nature, he should fix Xie Qiutao, but he couldn't do it, so he didn't say anything in the end.

In fact, Xie Qiutao has never experienced love between a man and a woman, but she couldn't stand the theory she heard. Seeing that Shangguan Lingye acquiesced, she pretended to be an experienced person and said:

"I see that Sister Shangguan talks very little. When she is with Mr. Zuo, she doesn't look like a couple at all. It must be because you can't let go."

"Um?"

"Sister Shangguan's age and moral character are not equal to those of Zuo Jianxian, and she cannot be like a couple in the world. Sister Shangguan wanted to get closer, but she was in a high position and couldn't say it clearly. She wanted Mr. Zuo to take the initiative, but Zuo Jianxian The young master can't suppress you and can't take the initiative, so the two of you are frozen, isn't that so?"

Although Shangguan Lingye didn't want to admit it, she felt that there was some truth in what she said. She took a sip of her wine and gestured to continue.

Xie Qiutao looked like a young girl, but at this moment she looked like a caring elder sister from a neighbor's house. She said seriously:

"Let me see, this is the standard 'women are strong and men are weak'. This kind of thing is not uncommon no matter in the secular world or in spiritual practice. For example, the uncles who marry into a wealthy family in the secular world, and the sons-in-law who come from a wealthy family in the immortal family, most of them have this In this situation, one wants to do it but can’t say it clearly due to his identity, and the other wants to go further, but doesn’t dare to be presumptuous due to his strength.”

Shangguan Lingye blinked his beautiful eyes: "What should we do?"

"This is not simple. You have to give people a chance. For example, if you drink and accidentally get yourself drunk, others will not have a chance. Afterwards, when you wake up, you will scold them again, saying that it was not your intention, and then make a noise and then Let's just let it go; this way, we can save face and get the job done, right? Sister Shangguan?"

"..."

Shangguan Lingye is not stupid. He understands the meaning of Xie Qiutao's words. But in front of Xie Qiutao, how could she nod and accept:

"Even my master has never seen through the seven emotions of human beings. How can you summarize them in a few words? You are still young. You will understand when you encounter such a thing."

Xie Qiutao's cheeks were full of alcohol, and it was hard to tell whether she was blushing or not:

"Hee~ I have never thought about such a thing. If I meet my sweetheart, I will definitely let my parents see it. If my parents haven't found it, how can I have time to think about this..."

Speaking of this, Xie Qiutao's eyes showed a bit of wandering tiredness. A girl's family, traveling all over the world alone and alone, under the lively appearance, it is quite tiring to think about it.

Cultivation is not easy. Shangguan Lingye didn't ask much about it. He just picked up the wine bowl and touched it lightly with Xie Qiutao...

——

Zuo Lingquan knew nothing about the chat by the campfire. He came behind the clouds alone with his sword, and the small boat floated quietly there. It was not until he got closer that he could see the whole picture.

Shangguan Lingye's white cat is lying on the top of the boat, sleeping soundly. There are dim lights in the boat. From the window, you can see a silhouette sitting cross-legged at the desk. It has graceful curves. Although the disguise has slightly reduced the size of the skirt, it is still I couldn't suppress the tension inside that was about to come out.

After having two drinks, Zuo Lingquan was quite tipsy and obviously more frivolous than usual. He landed on the deck silently without knocking on the door. There was a sound when he opened the door:

"Wanwan?"

Wu Qingwan was sitting in front of the desk. All the case files on the desk had been processed and put aside neatly. In front of him was a string of white jade beads. The beads had been made and a fox tail was being added to the end.

The door suddenly opened, startling Wu Qingwan, and quickly swept the things that couldn't be put on the countertop under the countertop. When she saw that it was Zuo Lingquan, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily:

"Why didn't you knock on the door? How much did you drink?"

Zuo Lingquan had already seen the objects on the table, with an indescribable smile in his eyes. He came to the desk and looked into Qingwan's arms:

"What are you doing? So mysterious?"

"Nothing." Wu Qingwan put the string of jade beads into her sleeves and turned her head to prevent Zuo Lingquan from getting closer:

"Miss Xie is here. If you don't go with me, why are you here?"

"You're drinking down here. It's not appropriate for you to hang out here, so just come over and scream. Let's go down together."

It was quite boring for Wu Qingwan to stay alone in the boat, but the reason why she didn't join him to explore the sand sea was definitely not because of her makeup.

Wu Qingwan was wearing a camel-colored skirt. She was dressed plainly, which covered up her proud figure. Her original delicate appearance also changed. She looked just like a passerby. But how could Wu Qingwan mind if she dressed like this when going out? .

The reason why she didn't follow was because Wu Qingwan's cultivation level was not as high as the two of them and she couldn't wield a sword. If something happened, she would have to let Zuo Lingquan carry her on his back. There wasn't much she could do to help, and she didn't want to drag Zuo Lingquan down at the critical moment. , it is better to stay on the boat and help Shangguan Lingye handle some official matters, so that Shangguan Lingye can concentrate on taking care of Zuo Lingquan.

Although she thought so in her heart, Wu Qingwan did not say it directly in front of the two of them, but said:

"How can you look like this to others? It's true that the Queen Mother put on men's clothes and went out. She dressed me up so 'finely'. I think she deliberately prevented me from going out and was here to help with the work. Originally, she didn't let me go out. I don’t want to embarrass her yet, but now it seems that this bead is still too gentle. Do you have any other ideas? I was just preparing it for her on the boat."

Zuo Lingquan and Wu Qingwan were already an old couple, and they knew Qingwan's character very well. She didn't force her to go down, and he came up just to spend more time with Qingwan.

When Qingwan asked about this, Zuo Lingquan had a lot of clever ideas. He was about to pick up a brush to design, but after thinking about it, he looked at the angry Qingwan:

"Have you made the beads? Have you tried them?"

try? ?

How to try this...

Wu Qingwansi sat gracefully on the chair. Hearing this, his buttocks went cold. There was a look of caution on his demure cheeks, and he said seriously:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can I try this thing by myself? You still can't trust my skills?"

Zuo Lingquan chuckled, put down the pen, and fumbled in Wu Qingwan's sleeve:

"This Law Weapon has special effects. There are formations inside. How can you know if it works well if you don't try it..."

"If you want to try it, go find her and try it. What should you touch on me? This is for her. If I try it, won't it become mine?"

"Then let's make another one. I'll pay for the material and labor costs..."

"you……"

Wu Qingwan resisted for a few moments before being pulled up and lying on the desk. She had no nerve to mess around on Shangguan Lingye's desk. Seeing that Zuo Lingquan was disobedient under the influence of alcohol, she could only turn around and lower her skirt. , begging for mercy:

"Okay, I'll make another one and let you try it out later, right? The way I look now looks awkward..."

There were still people waiting below. Zuo Lingquan was just joking with Qingwan. When Qingwan gave in, he naturally gave up and said with a smile:

"What I like is Wanwan herself, not your appearance. No matter what you become, in my eyes you are as beautiful as Celestial Immortal. What's wrong with that?"

Wu Qingwan finally broke free from the oppression, turned over and sat on the edge of the desk, straightened her clothes, frowned and said in disgust:

"I didn't say that I look bad, I mean that you look ugly. With a big beard on my face, I feel like I'm watching a wild boar come over to grab cabbage. I don't want you to touch it."

"...?"

Zuo Lingquan's smile froze, feeling that Wanwan's response to her love words was too poor, so he looked dissatisfied:

"Wanwan, you can't do this. Husband and wife want to grow old together, so how can they mind the changes in each other's looks? No, I have to correct you."

As he spoke, he arched upward.

"Eh?" Wu Qingwan naturally didn't agree. As a result, she didn't have enough moral integrity. Her hands were pressed on the table and they were kissing her. She could only turn her head to avoid it and reprimanded in a low voice. The scene looked like a bandit who had just come down from the mountain and bullied a good young woman. …

——

The words are divided into two parts.

In Feisha City, which is not far from the Sand Sea, monks still arrive every day and then enter the Sand Sea. Some return in despair, and some never return. So far, no one has found the exact whereabouts of the Bone Burial Ground.

However, after more than a month of exploration, some monks discovered that there were some cracks on the ground in the Fire Scythe Valley in the middle of the sand sea, which were estimated to be consistent with the last movement.

As the name suggests, the Fire Valley is rich in flint, but it is located in the deepest part of the sand sea, where fire pythons and other monsters often appear. No mortal would mine it, and even low-level monks would not dare to set foot there easily. Several major aristocratic families received the news. Although they were not sure whether the news was true or not, they all sent their personnel to find out.

At dusk, as the heat gradually faded, a team set off from Feisha City and headed for the sand sea in the west.

There are more than ten people in the team, all of whom are members of the Qi family. Because they have to explore along the way, everyone does not have a sword and walks on foot with equipment in hand, which is not much different from the Independent Cultivator in the sea of ​​​​sand.

Although the attire was nothing special, what surprised the Independent Cultivator at the city gate was that the Qi family's team rarely brought a carriage.

Carriages are not extraordinary objects. The horses pulling them are all spiritual animals, and the decorations are even more gorgeous. However, they are not very practical when placed on a spiritual path. They are usually ceremonial items, used to pick up and drop off distinguished guests and show respect for the guests.

From a distance, Independent Cultivator thought that the young master of Feisha City was sitting inside, but when he looked carefully, he saw that the young master of Feisha City was actually sitting outside driving!

This scene immediately stunned many Independent Cultivators.

There has never been a Sword Emperor in Feisha City, but the family's power is not small in the Central Continent, which does not have a large sect. It allows its young master to drive for an outsider. What kind of identity does this outsider have to have?

Not only the Independent Cultivator who was watching could not figure it out, but also the people who were interested in it hiding in the dark.

On the outskirts of the sand sea, two swordsmen wearing bamboo hats stood side by side on the sand dunes, watching from a distance the Qi family's team as they walked out of the gate of Feisha City.

The leading swordsman was Lin Zifeng, the swordsman who had appeared in Crow's Mouth Castle. He just glanced at it and recognized the old man walking on the side of the carriage:

"Sure enough, Lu Jianchen is here too. We drank together before, but I didn't expect that we'd become this old after not seeing each other for so many years."

The swordsman next to Lin Zifeng is Ye Hong, a well-known swordsman from Central Continent. He is also a famous figure in the Sword Emperor City, but his skills are still weaker than those of old-school swordsmen like Lin Zifeng.

Hearing Lu Jianchen's name, Ye Hong's eyes showed surprise:

"The young master of Feisha City drives the horse, and Lu Shisan of Sword Emperor City follows the car. It's such a grand occasion; I think the young master of Tie Clan Mansion is not worthy enough. Only when the young lady from the enemy family comes over can she be qualified."

"Qiu Fengqing's daughter has this qualification, but she has a powerful grandfather who has no shortage of immortal soldiers. She is not interested in such half-truths and half-false rumors, and the Qi family cannot invite them. Can the Qi family entertain her so solemnly? The only person who fawns over is the number one Qingkui of the Nine Sects."

Ye Hong thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense, and then said:

"There is no news from other places. If that person comes, he is most likely to be in the carriage. However, Lu Shisan is holding an immortal sword. In terms of killing power, he is recognized as the number one swordsman under the Jade Order. There is no one. I am definitely not the one. Opponent, how do you kill this person?"

Lin Zifeng glanced at the convoy, then turned and walked towards the depths of the sand sea:

"The cost of killing Lu Jianchen is too high. I'll find an opportunity to divert the tiger away from the mountain and lure Lu Jianchen away. You go and kill the others."

As long as Ye Hong doesn't deal with Lu Jianchen, the rest of them are just ants under the sword, so he doesn't have any objections, turns around and follows him into the sea of ​​sand...

The other side.

The convoy moved slowly in the sand sea. The Qi family members followed the route and carefully explored along the way.

Lao Lu wore a bamboo hat and walked slowly beside the carriage. From time to time he picked up a wine bottle and took a sip, scanning the surrounding sand dunes. This was not to explore the enemy's situation, but to recall the past when he was young.

Qi Jia leaned against the carriage door, holding a map in his hand and looking at it carefully. From time to time, family members came over to report things, and there was a noise coming from the carriage behind him:

"My mother, what the hell is this place? It's so hot. Lao Lu, get me a summer charm. I'm going to have heatstroke..."

Qi Sea is extremely hot in the sand sea, even on the outside. Monks can walk freely in it, but ordinary people will be heated to death after walking only a few dozen miles.

Lao Lu wanted to let Zuo Yunting practice, so naturally he would not let him live too comfortably, so he said:

"We've just entered the sand sea, and it hasn't started to heat up yet, so I brought ten summer talismans with me and will use them when we get to Huoyan Valley. Otherwise, you won't even be able to call me by then, and you'll be a grown man."

"How about I go back? There's not much to see in the city. At least it's cool..."

"The head of the Qi family heard that you are a 'young phoenix', but he has high hopes for you. Now you are running away from the battle. How dare you enter someone else's house when you return?"

"What do you mean by running away from the battlefield? What kind of person am I? I just made some calculations and found that this trip is a bit weird. I'm afraid it will be a disaster. We should go back and make preparations and buy more Law Treasure Talismans for self-defense... Hello? You guys? Do you hear me?... Hey, is this carriage still soundproof..."

…

——

Zuo Lingquan spent a long time holding cabbage on the boat, maybe because of the alcohol, he got a little drunk and finally opened his clothes.

Zuo Lingquan was ecstatic, but Wu Qingwan's feeling was not so good, mainly because Zuo Lingquan's face was full of beard, and it was as hard as boar bristles, which was a bit prickly.

Wu Qingwan's skin was already soft and delicate. She couldn't bear this kind of torture. She still had some feeling. She frowned when she came closer and kicked Zuo Lingquan away.

Zuo Lingquan also felt that the beard on his face was a bit annoying. For safety reasons, he could not take off the disguise, so he could only give up bitterly. After saying goodbye to Qingwan, he left Huafang and returned to the sand dunes.

Although the time spent playing with Qingwan on the boat was not long, it was not short either, about two-quarters of an hour.

Zuo Lingquan quickly returned to the bonfire. He thought the two women were still chatting, but when he looked up, he saw Shangguan Lingye taking out a beauty couch and lying on it, with his cheeks flushed and looking like he was asleep.

Next to her, Xie Qiutao was not far behind, leaning against the beauty's couch, holding an iron pipa in her arms, humming a foreign tune drunkenly; Tuanzi stood on top of the pipa, plucking it randomly with his little paws, as if playing cotton.

Dang Dang Dang~~

Zuo Lingquan was a little surprised and landed next to the bonfire, glancing at the half-empty wine jar:

"Why do you drink so much?"

Xie Qiutao was a little confused. When he saw Zuo Lingquan coming back, he stood up and said:

"Sister Shangguan was a little upset when she saw you weren't coming back. She drank more and more. Do I have to accompany you... Where is the ship? I have to take a nap and leave first..."

As he spoke, he lay down directly on the pipa, then drove the pipa and flew up into the air unsteadily.

Zuo Lingquan was frightened when he saw it. He wanted to remind him, "You can't handle a sword when you drink, and you don't drink when you handle a sword." But in the blink of an eye, Xie Qiutao was already behind the clouds. Although it was a little crooked, it was not a big problem, so he stopped sending it.

Looking down at Shangguan Lingye on the beauty's couch, Zuo Lingquan was a little hesitant. He wanted to carry her back to the boat to rest, but the boat was not big and there was no place to lie down when he got back. It was okay now and it was not appropriate to wake her up, so he Sit down next to him and keep him company.

Shangguan Lingye was wearing a scholar's robe. Although he didn't wear any makeup, the blush on his face was enough to make people fall in love with him. Especially against the backdrop of the bonfire, he was extremely beautiful.

The sand sea was silent, Zuo Lingquan was accompanying him, and there wasn't much to see. He slowly moved his eyes to Shangguan Lingye's red lips.

Fell asleep……

Zuo Lingquan blinked his eyes. He was not the type to take advantage of others, but he had already been chatting with Shangguan Lingye. A secret kiss at this time was also his boyfriend's doting, and it should not be considered as taking advantage of others.

Zuo Lingquan thought about this, moved forward, and tapped his red lips.

Shangguan Lingye didn't wake up, but he frowned slightly, probably pricked by his beard.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan touched the beard on his face, shook his head and smiled helplessly, gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage, and instead held Shangguan Lingye's hanging hand, leaning against the couch to look at the stars.

The bright moon is dim, the fingers are intertwined, and there is only the occasional crackling sound of the campfire between heaven and earth.

Perhaps because the long night was too boring, Zuo Lingquan sat for a while and sang a little song that was vague in his memory:

"...The ancient road is long and long ~ there are endless joys, angers and sorrows..."

The melody is very strange, and the words are humming intermittently, but paired with the endless sea of ​​sand in front of you, it fits the scene quite well.

On the beauty's couch, Shangguan Lingye's closed eyes felt the slight warmth between his palms. He listened to the little tune that was a bit unpleasant but wanted to keep listening to it. He raised the corners of his lips and smiled imperceptibly.

Baimei burst into laughter, but she didn't let the people around her see it.

Originally, this feeling was so warm that one would never want to wake up, but after hearing a sentence in the lyrics, Shangguan Lingye still opened his eyes, drunkenly raised his head, and asked:

"What do you mean you only have a camel with you?"

"Uh...you woke up, it's just the lyrics, it didn't say anything about you..."

"Hmph~..."

Shangguan Lingye closed his eyes and fell asleep again, leaving Zuo Lingquan looking back alone, wondering whether he should continue singing...
