Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 268 Taotao and Tuantuan

"Mother, what do you think Xiao Zuo is doing at this time?"

"Shut up."

"Hey~ I haven't spoken for several days. Don't you think you are panicking? You have been sitting alone on the mountain for thousands of years and never get up. Why are your buttocks still so upturned? You are not sitting flat at all..."

"Who said I can't get up? As a martial artist, I can't focus on Qi Refining and forget about the art of fighting. I will compete and practice every three days to avoid making mistakes."

"Who are you sparring with?"

"weapon."

"Oh... I'll give you a beating in three days. Your guy is pretty resistant to beatings..."

…

The divine fire Grotto-Heaven, with phoenix fire as its source, is an endless flame that covers the sky and the earth, turning the entire world into a sea of ​​fire.

In the deepest part of the sea of ​​fire, a golden flame floated in the sky. It seemed as steady and peaceful as a candle flame, but its scorching temperature made this place a forbidden place for living beings where even the monks at the top of the mountain did not dare to stay for a long time.

And just below the flames, a large black Black Tortoise shield was suspended in the air, like a black platform.

A woman in a golden dragon scale dress sat cross-legged on a giant shield, her eyes closed and her concentration unsmiling.

Beside the woman, the beautiful Shui Mei with narrow shoulders and round hips was walking in circles around the edge of the giant shield. She opened and closed her arms. It seemed that she had been sitting for a long time. She stood up to move her neck bones, and occasionally glanced at the periphery of the sea of ​​​​fire. .

On the edge far away from the two of them, there is a small place protected by the formation. Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu meditate inside, but every quarter of an hour they have to run out to rest for a long time; they can vaguely see each other, but No words.

Of course, Tang Jingxun didn't have much to say to Jiang Yi. After all, she was born as a commoner, and Jiang Yi was a princess of a country. She always felt downcast and a little reserved when they were together. Talking to the dead woman was much more natural, and she felt like she was talking to her. She acts like a girl, saying what she wants to say.

After spinning around on the shield twice, Tang Jingxun sat down behind Old Ancestor Shangguan again, leaning on Old Ancestor Shangguan as a backrest, raised his hand, and used the flame to shape the dumpling with a slightly unfamiliar touch. Kneading it in the palm of his hand, he said:

"I heard from Qingwan that Xiao Zuo lost contact in the desert, will everything be okay?"

"Lingye is reliable and can survive any situation; as long as it's a fatal situation, Lord Peach Blossom, the old witch, can get through it."

"Oh... is Lord Peach Blossom reliable?"

"As long as the first few of the Ten Sword Emperors don't take action, she can survive."

"Why did you call her an old witch? Is she a monster?"

"Because she's more annoying than you."

"...?"

Tang Jingxuan's expression condensed, he turned around and poked Shangguan Patriarch's lower back with his finger:

"Why are you talking to me? I still treat you as my own sister. It's really heartless...I won't talk to you in the future. It's boring."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and looked like he didn't want to talk to Patriarch Shangguan anymore.

Shangguan Patriarch was silent for a moment. Perhaps he felt that what he just said was indeed too strong, so he spoke again:

"Okay. If something happens to Zuo Lingquan, don't call me good sister."

?

This can be said to be the right medicine for the situation, extremely precise.

Tang Jingxun moved his lips, as if he wanted to curse, but in the end he bumped Shangguan Patriarch lightly with his shoulder and said softly:

"You are just a joke, but you still take it seriously. No wonder you have been an old girl for three thousand years..."

Ancestor Shangguan did not respond to this, and continued to meditate attentively, waiting for Tang Jingxuan to say that he was tired and would stop.

But not long after he stopped talking, the ancestor Shangguan felt something, opened his eyes, and then a golden phantom floated out of his body, and in an instant came to the main peak of the barren mountain outside the Shenhuo Grotto-Heaven.

Not long after the time passed, the terrace on the barren mountain had not changed much. There was still no one on the Qianzhang Covered Bridge, and the disciples were all repairing the sect outside.

The ancestor of Shangguan was suspended in the air, and looked at the ancestral house of the Chou family on the mountainside in a blink of an eye, but saw a gorgeous ferry boat moored outside the ancestral house, and some monks were waiting on the ferry.

At the gate of the house, the current head of the Chou family, Qiu Fengqing, the sword-wielding elder of the Jingting Terrace, was speaking with a cheerful face:

"Niuniu, I'm in a hurry to go back in just a few days. Dad just talked with Zheyuelin. The new ferry will be built next year. I specially asked the master of Fulong Mountain to set up the formation. I will never be beaten by Beast Race again. Hit it down..."

"No need. The three elders of Juejianya were decapitated by the Beast Race, and their heads were thrown in the downtown area. They left their handwriting and humiliated their grandfather. The entire Huajunzhou was in an uproar. Such a shameful humiliation, there is no reason not to report it..."

"Revenge must be avenged, but how can you go to the west without a ferry? Unless the boat is built..."

"The master's sect will send people to help Juejianya. We will set off next spring and I will be the ferryman for the master's sect."

"well……"

…

Ancestor Shangguan looked at the father and daughter. Although he said nothing, there was a hint of sigh in his eyes.

Yuyaozhou is located in the east of the world, with the population concentrated in the south, far away from the main battlefield of immortals and demons. It can be said to be the most peaceful place in the entire Nine Continents.

But peace does not mean ease. The Nine Sects Alliance is in the rear, and they rush to help Huajun and Nanyu with their tyrannical financial and material resources. The immortal materials produced by each sect are basically sold there.

At the level of the whole world, each faction has its own position and responsibilities. The Nine Sects are equivalent to a granary. If it is gone, Hua Junzhou, which is vast and rich in resources, may not have much influence, and Nanyu Island will definitely collapse. It is regarded as an alien portal.

The same is true for the nine major sects. Each of the nine sects has its own responsibilities, and one move affects the whole body. If anyone is missing, the impact will be far-reaching.

Jing Terrace is similar to Yunshui Jiantan. It is a half-family sect, and the sect disciples only recognize direct descendants of their ancestors.

Qiu Fengqing is the successor of the Lord Barren Mountain. If the Lord Barren Mountain dies unexpectedly, he must take the lead. Some prestige.

Due to her natural position, Qiu Fengqing is destined not to run around, and must fulfill her duties in her own position; but Qiu Fengqing's first wife is the eldest lady of Juejianya in Huajunzhou.

Juejianya is one of the main sects of Huajunzhou, and its duty is to go to the frontal battlefield to kill demons. After giving birth to a daughter, Qiu Fengqing's wife heard that something happened to the west, so she went back, but this time, she never went back. return.

Because of this, the relationship between her daughter and Qiu Fengqing completely froze - she didn't complain that Qiu Fengqing didn't go to kill demons with her mother, but that Qiu Fengqing didn't stop her mother.

Qiu Fengqing did not stop his wife from leaving because that was what his wife should do.

Surprisingly, there is no place for his wife on the terrace, and here he can only be the elder's wife who will always be a husband and goddaughter. Only on the frontal battlefield of immortals and demons, his wife is the sword fairy who is full of blood for the righteous way!

This is what Qiu Fengqing and Fa's wife have been seeking after hundreds of years of practice. They can't be forced to tie Fa's wife to this square inch of land because of selfish desires, and be an idler who has nothing to do but lives a lifetime!

Qiu Fengqing and his wife can understand each other, and their daughter can also understand their ambitions, but they can't accept it - because after all, there is only one father and one mother, what will happen if the mother loses her?

So Qiu Fengqing's daughter left and embarked on the same path as her mother, not only to take revenge, but also to prove the truth in her heart.

Qiu Fengqing didn't stop his wife, nor could he stop his daughter.

The road to spiritual practice is long, and it can take anywhere from more than ten years to hundreds of years. Qiu Fengqing himself doesn’t even know when he will see his daughter next time, or if he will see her again; all he can say is Use your kind words to let your daughter stay for a while.

But what should be done, always be done, and one or two more days will not change anything.

The ferry boat outside the ancestral home finally set sail according to the scheduled itinerary, and sailed to Dengchao Port in the north. The middle-aged face was left alone, but the lonely Qiu Fengqing who looked like Lao Lu stood alone outside the gate of the ancestral home, watching Watching the wanderer go away, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After Shangguan Patriarch watched the whole process, he raised his eyes and looked overseas to the south - that was the barbaric land, the place where she was born.

The children travel far away, the parents send off, and the goodbye is indefinite. The scene looks sad, but it is quite happy when you think about it carefully; because at least someone is thinking about it behind your back.

Since the day the ancestor of Shangguan stepped out of the house, there was no one behind her who worried about her, and there was no way to turn back; although he traveled all over Jiuzhou and experienced the world, there are still some things that he has never experienced...

——

Cultivation is like duckweed in the ocean, drifting with the current, erratic, not looking for opportunities, or on the way to find opportunities; this is vividly reflected in Xie Qiutao.

In the world that is gradually collapsing, Xie Qiutao, wearing a coir raincoat, walks alone in the vast land. With her small back and the falling environment, just looking at it makes people worry about the safety of this little girl.

Fortunately, Xie Qiutao was not alone at this time, and was accompanied by a bird.

Tuanzi squatted under Xie Qiutao's bamboo hat with a small bamboo hat made of leaves. On his back was a wooden sword carved by Xie Qiutao. As a bird swordsman, he opened his beak and waited for Xie Qiutao to peel the melon seeds.

Xie Qiutao was peeling melon seeds in his hand, his eyes wandering on the rugged land, and his small mouth couldn't stop humming in the tune of dumplings:

"Gujiji~gujiji..."

Tuanzi waited with his bird's beak open, but saw Xie Qiutao peel a melon seed, and threw it into his mouth, peeled another one, and threw it into his mouth again; after going back and forth several times, Tuanzi became a little annoyed:

"Jiji?"

"oh……"

Only then did Xie Qiutao react, fed the melon seeds to Tuanzi, and asked:

"Is there really a big treasure in this place? The feng shui is so bad, I can't see it."

Tuanzi doesn't know how to read Feng Shui, but as it grows up, it gradually perceives the laws of the operation of the world, what is normal and what is wrong, and it can be seen at a glance.

After hearing Xie Qiutao's words, Tuanzi chirped a few times, as if to say:

"If you don't think so, then it means you have found a place; if you hide something, will you hide it somewhere where others can see it?"

Xie Qiutao said this not because he didn't trust Tuanzi's ability, but because he doubted Tuanzi's understanding of Baobao.

In Xie Qiutao's view, treasures are priceless treasures such as the lost magic weapon and the god stone of heaven and fire, the kind that can be found without worry; while the big treasure that Tuanzi understands seems to be something that can eat as much as it wants.

In the past few days, Xie Qiutao followed the guidance of the dumpling, wandering around the mountains and ridges for an unknown distance, and found things, but without exception, they were all big mushrooms and big fruits.

The world here is about to collapse, and the ecological system begins to collapse from the bottom. It can no longer support the reproduction of large monsters. The spiritual grasses that can be found are also low-grade species, and most of them are not good.

Out of trust in Tuanzi, Xie Qiutao thought she was mistaken at first; after taking a bite of the big mushroom and successfully catching a dancing villain in her eyes, she was sure that it was an ordinary colorful mushroom, which was useless except for its delicious taste, so she fed it all to Tuanzi .

After going back and forth a few times, Xie Qiutao felt that it was better to go back into the sand and dig up the equipment left behind from the fight, so she said:

"How about we go back? Mr. Zuo and the others may have come back and are waiting on the mountain."

Tuanzi misses his nanny a lot, but when he comes out to hang out, he has to show his loyalty, saying that he will take Xie Qiutao to find good things, if he makes him go for nothing, how can he be ashamed to ask for food in the future. It looked around over its shoulders and pointed to another place:

"Gee~"

Xie Qiutao was a little helpless, and continued to walk towards the mountain col with the mentality of giving it a try.

Collapse Aftershocks could be felt from time to time in Grotto-Heaven, and heavy rains continued to fall, causing landslides and mudslides everywhere in the col. The bottom of the col was washed away by raging flash floods, exposing rocks on both sides, making it almost impossible to walk.

Xie Qiutao couldn't fly, so he walked very hard. He almost clung to the cracks in the rocks and climbed all the way to the depths.

After climbing like this for several miles without seeing anything, Xie Qiutao thought he would return empty-handed, but when he passed the foot of a mountain, Tuanzi suddenly became serious and pointed to a crack in the mountain wall.

Xie Qiutao carefully climbed nearby and took a look into the crack - the crack should be caused by the rock being torn apart by the power of heaven and earth. Not long after it appeared, there was nothing surprising about the stone, but there seemed to be something deep in the crack. When the lightning flashed, The tortoise shell pattern can be faintly seen.

Xie Qiutao took out a dagger and carefully cut open the rock, only to see that deep in the crack was a hole as big as a head. Inside lay a pale golden turtle, only the size of a palm, with its limbs and head retracted into the shell. It looked very... pretty.

"Eh?"

Xie Qiutao's eyes suddenly lit up, full of surprises and surprises.

The legend of the turtle in the stone has been around for a long time. It is said that it appears in the stubborn rocks in the deep mountains and old forests. When water flows over the stone, it will appear from the belly of the stone. When the water recedes, it disappears without a trace. It is very mysterious.

Xie Qiutao knew that such a thing existed in the world, but this was the first time he had seen it. She has been studying turtles since she was a child. When she looked at the turtle shell, she could see that this one was not a descendant of Black Tortoise, but it was definitely of great origin. The turtle shell had a light golden color, much like the rumored Dragon Zi Bixi, also known as Dragon. Turtle; but the dragon has a promiscuous nature and has too many descendants, and it is not clear which descendant it belongs to.

However, no matter what kind of dragon turtle it is, it will basically have the Divine Ability to identify heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and will be attracted to strange objects. Wherever it appears, there is either a Saint coming to the world, or there are rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Xie Qiutao is not greedy, and knows the principle of giving up when you are ready. She wanted to wrap up the sleeping little dragon turtle and put it away, but she saw the eyes of Tuanzi next to her shining brightly, "Chi Chi Chi...", as if to say:

"A turtle this big can make soup and its shell can be boiled into turtle paste..."

No matter how much Xie Qiutao doted on Tuanzi, there was no way he would stew this rare spiritual beast, so he quickly advised:

"You can't eat this thing. Look at how well-behaved it is. As practitioners, we should commit less murderous crimes and eat vegetarian food as much as possible."

"grumble?"

Tuanzi was a little confused and thought to himself: Birds are birds of prey, so they are vegetarians? Why didn’t I see you say that when I was eating dried fish?

But seeing that Xie Qiutao couldn't put it down, smiling so hard that he wanted to kiss it twice, Tuanzi didn't care anymore, and turned to look deep into the cracks in the stone, as if he was sensing it.

Xie Qiutao actually wanted to get the benefits and leave quickly, but Tuanzi had no intention of leaving, so she continued to dig in to see what else was in the mountain.

Chacha——

After a few cuts, the original crack was cut into a gap that could be squeezed through, and it became wider and wider as it went in.

Xie Qiutao squeezed in for a while and was shocked to find that there was a large hollow hole at the bottom of the mountain.

The large hole seemed to be carved out by something using Divine Ability. The stone wall was as smooth as a mirror, and it was about three stories high. The entrance was unknown, and it led diagonally to the ground, carrying a faint fragrance.

Xie Qiutao looked a little confused and was about to walk in. Tuanzi on her shoulders noticed something and suddenly covered her mouth with his small wings.

? !

Xie Qiutao reacted quickly, quickly held his breath Qi Condensation, and listened carefully, only to find that deep underground, came:

"Bah, bah..."

It sounded like an iron saw was being used to cut something...

I went to bed early today, so I wrote a few hundred words less. It was also two chapters, combined into one.
