Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 320 Cui Counseling

Ding ding——

Fine raindrops sprinkled on the eaves outside the window, and the silver bells hanging on the corners swayed gently in the wind, making an ethereal and sweet sound.

Wu Qingwan, who was wearing a cloud-white dress, was leaning against the window, her right arm resting on the window sill. Because the heavy skirt was too full, it slightly changed its shape under the pressure.

The misty rain in early summer was beautiful, but Wu Qingwan had no intention of admiring it at this time. Her eyes, as warm as autumn water, looked towards the distant west behind the rain curtain, with mixed feelings.

After leaving Grotto-Heaven, it was only ten days, but Wu Qingwan’s memory still remains in the happy family atmosphere at the end of the year.

Originally, they thought they were going to Huajunzhou together, but Wu Qingwan's heart was with Zuo Lingquan, and she didn't feel much about traveling thousands of miles ahead.

Who would have thought that in just a blink of an eye, he and Ling Quan would be separated, and from now on, it would be a case of more gatherings and more separations.

Wu Qingwan had already adapted to the identity of his wife. After thinking about it, longing, worry, and reluctance gradually appeared in her heart... These emotions made her days feel like years, and she couldn't calm down even if she wanted to concentrate on her retreat.

In fact, I can't blame others for this, I can only blame myself for not being thick-skinned enough.

After several people came out of the Divine Fire Grotto-Heaven, Lingye prepared to go overseas as planned, and reported to Shangguan Patriarch beforehand.

As a result, the ancestor felt that Lingye's Taoism was too high, and walking together with Lingquan had no sense of urgency. Lingye was also obsessed with men and had no intention of practicing, so he let the two of them go separate ways and arranged another errand for Lingye - to visit Tie Cu. Several friends from the mansion stopped by the Eight-Armed Xuanmen to burn some paper money for the ancestor's leader, "Shangguan Tianba".

The travel route is not much different from the path Ling Quan took to Juejian Cliff, but there are not many intersections. The purpose of this move is naturally to let the two of them learn to be independent. They are almost the ancestors of the Jade Order, and they will have to carry it out in the future. The burden of the nine sects is not enough to just be carefree and not take care of the sect's affairs.

Lingye knew his ancestor's intentions and obeyed the arrangement. He originally wanted to go out alone.

But Jiang Yi's moral character is not high enough, and she has always been afraid of dragging Zuo Lingquan back. Originally, Jiang Yi was worried that she would not be able to seduce her man in Lingye, but now that Lingye, a foxy girl, no longer follows, Jiang Yi naturally no longer has any worries, and said "magnanimously" You must accompany Lingye to prevent Lingye from being lonely on the road alone.

If Jiang Yi didn't follow, Wu Qingwan would have the nerve to go out with Ling Quan. He was also afraid that Jiang Yi couldn't defeat Ling Ye on his own, so he said that he would accompany Jiang Yi. It was good now and it was too late to regret.

"well……"

After Wu Qingwan was lost in thought on the terrace for a long time, she let out a sigh and raised her hand to close the window.

The place he was in was the cabin at the back of the boat. The boat was flying in the sky, waiting for the next cross-sea ferry to arrive and head to Dengchao Port.

Wu Qingwan got off the bed, opened the sliding door of the cabin, and came to the room outside.

Because I was going on a long trip, the room was renovated and I asked an expert to add some formations. The concrete effect is that there are more ornaments and patterns in the boat, making it look more compact than before.

The position of the desk has not changed. Shangguan Lingye is wearing a gorgeous dress and sitting on the chair as before; the errand of the Dayan Demon Hunting Department has been handed over to Situ Zhenzhen. Now he is much more leisurely, with a blue-eyed white cat on his lap. I was reading a book about two villains wrestling, and the bracelet on my wrist was very eye-catching.

On the coffee table next to the beauty's couch, there are thick stacks of books, all of which are historical allusions and sect information from various parts of Huajunzhou. Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu, both in red dresses, sat on the floor and looked carefully.

"Princess, Qianqiu Yuefu sounds similar to Fengyue Sect. Is it also a sect of the Xian family?"

"How do I know? Ask Ling Ye."

"Qianqiu Yuefu is good at music and rhythm. The number of steps is similar to that of Black Tortoise stage by Xie Qiutao. There are many fairies in it and it is very famous in Huajunzhou."

"Where is Zuo Lingquan going?"

"Let him go around it, otherwise he might become a son-in-law outside..."

…

Wu Qingwan took a seat on the beauty's couch, watched the three girls chatting, and sighed secretly - she didn't feel anything when she stayed on the boat before, but after returning home for a lively New Year's Eve, she saw something like this again. The picture, I always feel empty in my heart...

Jiang Yi held a gold pen and circled the map. She found Wu Qingwan looking a little lonely and asked:

"Auntie, what's the matter with you?"

Wu Qingwan was embarrassed to say that she wanted a man, so she thought for a moment and said softly:

"I miss my mother. I don't know how long I will be away this time. My mother is waiting at home. Seeing that we haven't come back, I'm afraid she will blame us for being unfilial."

Jiang Yi naturally missed the glorious moment of being the eldest daughter-in-law at home, and nodded:

"I should go back after leaving customs. I feel like I went too fast."

Shangguan Lingye glanced at the album and responded:

"Mother said last time that Zuo Lingquan should go back with Lord Peach Blossom, who is three months pregnant, otherwise he will not recognize his son. Zuo Lingquan has not done anything, how dare he run back."

Wu Qingwan didn't take these words seriously at all, she just smiled, thought for a while and said:

"By the way, what did Lord Peach Blossom do? I haven't seen her since we parted ways during the Lantern Festival."

"Drinking a lot of wine in Peach Blossom Pond, the ancestor of the Immortal family, who is at the level of the Lord, has to look after the house and keep the business. We can't expect her to follow us around every day."

Leng Zhu blinked his eyes, recalled the situation at Zuo's house, and whispered:

"I think Senior Taohua likes to follow us around. He is so high-minded, but he can only stay in the house and drink alcohol alone. It's quite boring when you think about it."

Jiang Yi shook her head: "The ancestors at the top of the mountain have a far-sighted vision and have already looked down on the worldly things. How could they be like us and start to feel sad when something happens? Senior Shangguan has been on the mountain for thousands of years, and he has never seen her feel that way. boring."

Shangguan Lingye closed the book and thought about it for a while:

"In our eyes, Master will not tell us what he feels in his heart."

"It's true..."

…

——

The other side.

The early summer sun shines on the crystal white jade palace pavilion. Five colorful chains are like waterfalls falling into the sea of ​​clouds, causing ripples to spread to the horizon.

Inside the palace, on the lotus platform.

The woman in the gold skirt sat cross-legged in the white mist, her movements unchanged from the past thousand years, but the long sword floating beside her disappeared, and the golden mace turned into a stocky fat girl, boringly in front of the lotus platform. Rolling around.

"Tangtang, so boring~"

"We have been here for thousands of years, when are we going to go out for a walk?"

"Why don't you say 'uh huh~' lately?"

…

Luo Liba's long words echoed in the palace.

The woman in the gold skirt listened for a long time, and was annoyed. With a flick of her finger, she flicked the stocky girl lying on her back into the sea of ​​clouds outside the palace, and let out a scream of "Ah~~~~".

But a moment later, the stocky girl ran back from outside, her eyes full of joy:

"Tangtang, are you still alive?"

Shangguan Ancestor gently exhaled the white mist, opened Gujing Wubo's eyes, and said in a stern tone:

"If you don't be quiet, you won't have to come out again."

The little female dragon was a weapon and almost immortal. She didn't care about this threat at all. She jumped up and sat down and said nonchalantly:

"If I don't come out, I'll be lonely for you. Tangtang, you haven't been as lively as before during this period. I haven't seen you go out."

During this period, both Zuo Lingquan and Tang Jingxun were in seclusion. How could Old Ancestor Shangguan be so lively without being disturbed by all kinds of stimulation?

As for going out, it may not happen once in decades when it is Shangguan Patriarch's turn to go out in person, and the remaining years only last in the blink of an eye.

Ancestor Shangguan did not respond to the little female dragon and was about to close his eyes and continue meditating.

The little female dragon looked really bored. She lay her head on the lap of Shangguan Ancestor. She couldn't see the ancestor's cheeks from above, but could only see her high chest:

"Lingye and Zuo Lingquan are out today, aren't you going to follow them? It's okay anyway, why don't we come together? This way I can help you beat them up every day. It feels so comfortable."

"How can they practice if I follow them? They have to walk their own path..."

Shangguan Patriarch had just said a few words when he suddenly stopped talking, frowned slightly, and looked outside the palace.

Under the scorching sun, a pink petal floated across the sea of ​​clouds in the wind, but in the blink of an eye, it landed at the gate of the White Jade Palace.

The little female dragon noticed something strange, turned it up quickly, and said unexpectedly:

"Old witch?! What evil wind brought you here..."

Bang——

There was a muffled sound.

Lord Peach Blossom was dressed in a dark green spring dress with a soft and charming temperament. After slapping the foul-mouthed dragon away with a light slap, he came to the lotus platform:

"Yutang, today Zuo Lingquan is going to sea, why don't you go see him off?"

Ancestor Shangguan left the Zuo family and naturally regained his condescending look towards Lord Peach Blossom:

"What are you doing here?"

Lord Peach Blossom returned to Peach Blossom Pond these days to drink and have erotic dreams. Not long after she woke up, she jumped onto the lotus platform and sat sideways next to her:

"Come and get some fresh air, so as not to worry. Just Lingye, nothing will happen to him with a stable personality; Zuo Lingquan has been targeted by the Youying aliens for a long time, and he always goes there without any trouble, and he has two people with him. This little girl is worthless. When she gets into trouble outside, she doesn't answer every day. Have you arranged a guardian for him?"

Ancestor Shangguan's expression was dull: "The real pinnacle of Immortal Venerable, one's own strength is one's own protector. If you stay under the wings of others, you will never become a strong man on your own."

Lord Peach Blossom was slightly dissatisfied: "Do you think everyone is just like you, so lucky that you can escape from the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire alone? A tree as beautiful as the forest will be destroyed by the wind. It's not like Yuyaozhou outside. If something goes wrong, you want to go there. It’s too late, there are really three advantages and two disadvantages, what should Lingye do?”

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If you blame the word 'luck' for why I have come this far, you deserve to be below me for the rest of your life."

Lord Peach Blossom didn't like hearing this anymore, she hummed softly:

"I am also an ancestor at the top of the mountain. I don't come here to beg you, I just want to talk to you. If you don't arrange a guardian, I will arrange it for him, just so that he can remember my favor."

There was disdain in Shangguan Ancestor's eyes: "Who can you ask? Even if you go out in person, 80% of it will be for Zuo Lingquan to save you, and the remaining 20% ​​will be for you to die. Zuo Lingquan will cry bitterly, you are not called a protector. Tao, it’s called adding chaos.”

? ?

These words are too poisonous!

Lord Peach Blossom glared at Patriarch Shangguan and was about to curse, but then he thought about it and felt something was wrong.

She blinked and looked carefully at the face of Shangguan Ancestor:

"Yutang, you're not trying to provoke me to go out and help Zuo Lingquan protect the road without paying any price, are you?"

Patriarch Shangguan glanced at Lord Peach Blossom: "Talk to me after you've sobered up. People can be stupid, but they can't be without self-awareness."

"..."

That's too much!

Lord Peach Blossom took a deep breath, and the movement was so big that he accidentally opened the skirt of his clothes, revealing the corners of the aqua fabric inside:

"Shangguan Yutang, you need to take care of it, right?"

Shangguan Ancestor has never met anyone who can take care of her in her life. She has been lonely for too long. When she heard this, she smiled instead of being angry. She was about to raise her hand, but unexpectedly Lord Peach Blossom took the first step and ducked into the palace. outside:

"I have a good temper and I don't want to argue with you, but I want to remind you that if you continue to be so arrogant, you will hit the iron plate sooner or later."

After saying that, he ran away.

Ancestor Shangguan ignored this warning.

Because since she started practicing, there has been no morning or evening, only the sun is shining!

However, seeing that Lord Peach Blossom was about to leave, Patriarch Shangguan still spoke:

"etc."

Lord Peach Blossom paused as he walked away, then turned around as if facing a powerful enemy:

"What? You can't say you want to do it?"

There was a trace of confusion in Shangguan Patriarch's eyes, and his tone was a little softer:

"You agreed before to help me protect the road, don't forget it."

Lord Peach Blossom has been hungover in Peach Blossom Pond for the past year, and he almost forgot about it. Only after hearing this did he remember that the Shangguan Patriarch could empathize with Tang Jingxun's situation.

This time Zuo Lingquan and Tang Jingxun went out and had to stay on the boat for several months. With nothing to do, what else could they do except play songs every night?

Thinking of this, Lord Peach Blossom's face became a little more ambiguous. He hugged his chest and looked down:

"Who said just now that the Immortal Venerable on the top of the mountain does not need a guardian? Call Sister Yingying, and I will find a way for you."

"roll."

"Have you thought about it? I really want to get out. When the time comes, you will be in ecstasy and want to die, but don't come to beg me."

Ancestor Shangguan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that if the old witch didn't give her a beating, she wouldn't know who was the boss of the nine sects. But as soon as she thought about it, Lord Peach Blossom changed her words:

"Forget it, you don't have to scream. I'll take over your hanging attic and things still have to be done. I'm not like you who can't keep your word."

"..."

Ancestor Shangguan was speechless and wanted to say to Lord Peach Blossom, "Just change your name to 'Cui Cang Cang'".

But when those words came out, Lord Peach Blossom couldn't get off the stage at all. He wanted to ask for help and couldn't be bullied too harshly, so he didn't speak anymore...

——

"Ang~..."

The deep low roar shook the coast of Deng Chao Harbor, making people feel tight in their chests, and even ripples appeared on the downpour.

Zuo Lingquan held an oil-paper umbrella and walked among the crowd heading to the harbor. At first, he thought it was the roar of a dragon, but when he walked to the harbor and saw the island-like sea monster, he realized that it was the roar of a turtle.

"Oh my god, Xiao Zuo, this bastard is so big..."

"Chiji..."

Tuanzi, who was held in Tang Jingxuan's arms, was stunned. He opened his beak and looked back and forth, a bit like "a tiger can't find a way to eat."

The little dragon turtle, which had been carried in Xie Qiutao's arms, had some reaction and moved slightly, as if he wanted to come out to take a look, but found that there were too many bipeds around, so he timidly shrank back.

Zuo Lingquan and two girls followed the crowd towards the giant turtle on the coast and unexpectedly said:

"Isn't it a ferry? Let's take the turtle there?"

Xie Qiutao has traveled across several continents and has more experience than Zuo Lingquan. He introduced seriously:

"This is the boat from Qianxing Island in Nanyu Continent. Turtles are abundant there. Most of the spiritual beasts such as Bixi come from there. Tuotian Wangba is the largest among them. It is said that the Styx ancestor sat down on the boat that was as big as In a radius of more than ten miles, the Cave Mansion is built on the back of a turtle. This one is relatively small, and it comes out to run errands to get the immortal money for the sect..."

Zuo Lingquan was even more surprised.

The giant turtle on the coast is already hard to imagine as a living creature. The turtle's back is like an island, with pavilions and pavilions built on it, exotic flowers and trees planted, and a viewing gallery along the edge of the island. If Instead of a big turtle's head popping up at the front, being fed by Dengchao Port, it's hard to imagine that it's a turtle from the outside. Unexpectedly, it's still relatively small.

No one knows how many monsters and sea beasts are hidden in the sea. The risk is extremely high. Something that dares to carry a large number of guests across the sea is naturally of high quality. Whether it is a beast or a ferry, it is probably the lifeblood of a sect. Even if It is Wanghai Tower, and there are only a handful of ferries that can cross the sea.

Monks from all over the world have to rely on these ferries to travel to and from each other. There are so many monks and so many people that it is difficult to get a ticket. Even the price of a standing ticket is comparable to a High Grade Law Weapon.

Zuo Lingquan wanted to take the spirit beast with him, so after Wu Laodao's advice, he went to find Chen Gongfeng in Dengchao Port to open the back door. After asking for the price, he understood why Wu Laodao said it still hurts - there was an 'A' room on the ship. A guest room costs three thousand white jade beads, and the expenses for training, food, accommodation, entertainment, etc. have to be calculated separately. If you feel it is expensive, you can swim across the East China Sea by yourself without anyone stopping you.

Judging from the scale of Tuotian Wangba, it is easy to carry thousands of people. After this trip, the immortal money earned can probably catch up with the harvest of a medium-sized sect in a year. It was only at this time that Zuo Lingquan understood that Wanghai Tower only Relying on several ports, how can one become one of the nine wealthy families?

Although the price is painful, fortunately, there is a bit of human touch on the ferry. The A-rated residence can bring Taoist companions, maids and other accompanying persons, and the steward of the ferry will not say anything when the three of them enter.

Zuo Lingquan braved the heavy rain and arrived near the coast. He first boarded a cruise ship to receive distinguished guests. On the ship, he was received by the sect deacon of Qianxing Island and inspected the accompanying spiritual pets.

The people on the pick-up boat are basically people from the Nine Sects or big families. There are only a few Independent Cultivators who open room A in order to bring spiritual pets. Zuo Lingquan attracted some attention when he came up, but there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons outside, and the practice Everyone knows the taboo, so they glanced casually and then looked away.

Xie Qiutao had lived a tight life in the past years, and it was the first time he walked through the passage of the Xian family's powerful people, following Zuo Lingquan and looking at him silently. When Zuo Lingquan stepped on the pedal of the cruise ship, a middle-aged deacon walked up and blocked the way.

Zuo Lingquan heard the rules from Chen Congfeng at the port and gave the 'recommendation letter' he bought to the ship's deacon.

After the middle-aged deacon saw it, he knew it well and did not point it out. Instead, he said:

"There are certain risks in bringing a spiritual pet with you. According to the rules, you can only board the ship after I have inspected it. I hope Fellow Daoist will forgive me."

When Tang Jingxuan saw this, he held the dumplings in his hands and handed them to the middle-aged deacon.

The middle-aged deacon did not touch him. He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Tuanzi who was biting his wings and pretending to be stupid for a moment, and nodded slightly:

"The white mountain spirit in the barren mountain is very rare to be so big. It looks like... well... it hasn't opened its spiritual intelligence yet. The little fairy needs to be more careful after boarding the boat."

Tuanzi knew how stupid he was being called, so he endured it without saying "ji?" in order to be able to sleep on the blanket on the ferry.

Xie Qiutao didn't really want to leak the money, but behind the ferry was Qianxing Island, the number one immortal family in Nanyu Continent. She really didn't necessarily like her little dragon turtle, so she hesitated and took it out.

The middle-aged man turned his head and saw the pale golden dragon turtle. His eyes were obviously a little surprised, and then a little regretful. He shook his head and said:

"Don't worry about the three Fellow Daoists. I'm just reminding you casually. There aren't many decent Dual Pupils in Nanyu Island. It's the first time I've seen such good-looking Dual Pupils. It's a pity that they were raised crookedly and have no intelligence at all. , If things continue like this, when this crocodile grows up, it will inevitably return to the mountains on its own, so the three Fellow Daoists should pay more attention."

Xie Qiutao knew that Long Gui was obsessed with escaping, so he heard the voice and asked:

"Immortal, I care for it like a treasure, but it won't show its head. What should I do?"

"Well, raising a spiritual pet is the same as raising a child. If you stay with it more and take care of it, you will naturally develop feelings for it over time. If you raise the spiritual pet carefully because of its value, then even if you surrender the spiritual pet, you will only get a child. They're just servants. They can provide as much food as they need, and they can't count on big things..."

After the middle-aged deacon talked about how to control beasts for a while, he looked at Zuo Lingquan again.

As the steward on board the ship, he could naturally see that the three of them were headed by Zuo Lingquan, and even the little girl accompanying them could bring out fairy beast cubs like Dual Pupils. What Zuo Lingquan was carrying might be extraordinary.

Zuo Lingquan originally wanted to say that he had no spiritual pet, but then he remembered something, touched in his arms, took out a small porcelain piece, and opened the lid.

Buzz buzz~~

"Eh?"

The middle-aged deacon was stunned for a moment, and looked at the small beetle flying around Zuo Lingquan's hand. He also felt confused for a moment.

"This... Dare I ask Fellow Daoist, is this just?"

"Long-locking soul-suppressing Gu."

"Oh... Locking Dragon... Soul-Suppressing... Hmm..."

Zuo Lingquan put the little beetle into the bottle and said with a smile:

"Can we get on the boat?"

The middle-aged deacon hesitated to speak, hesitated to speak, and finally got out of the way and made a gesture of invitation:

"You three, please. Hmm... Fellow Daoist, this spiritual pet, looks like a black-sheathed iron bull no matter how you look at it. I am really ignorant, haha..."

Xie Qiutao suppressed her laughter and quickly lowered her head and ran into the cruise ship...

I got up late, and the last two thousand words I came up with are a little sluggish...
