Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 70 Between the Ruins (Eighth Update)

The night is getting darker and it is already time to turn off the lights in Qihuang Valley. Many disciples have gone to bed. Only the disciples who will set off tomorrow are still in the main hall to accept the instructions of their teachers.

In the stone room behind the waterfall, Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, seriously Qi Refining.

Wu Qingwan wore a slim long skirt, maintained the same posture, and sat next to Zuo Lingquan.

This is not the first time that the two of them have practiced together, but at this moment, it is obvious that they cannot enter samadhi, and both of them are wandering thousands of miles apart.

Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, thinking about the jade slip and Wu Qingwan's 'meaning'.

And Wu Qingwan was also thinking about her 'meaning', because she couldn't figure it out either.

If it was just a dual cultivation method, and she didn't have a suitable partner, how could she commit herself to an emotionless man just because she was greedy for the little cultivation speed?

But it just so happens that this volume of exercises is also applicable to Zuo Lingquan, and judging from his talent, he is in great need.

Wu Qingwan is already quite young, but her cultivation is struggling, and she no longer expects to be in the Immortal Class; but Zuo Lingquan is only seventeen and has a bright future, and she has a book of applicable exercises in hand that can help Zuo Lingquan. She could only help with this; if it was an ordinary skill, she would give it to her without hesitation, but why is this a dual cultivation skill...

Wu Qingwan was very conflicted.

She admitted that she admired Zuo Lingquan's character and conduct. The scene where Zuo Lingquan took an adventure to save Wang Rui in Evergreen Mountain and even talked back to her left a deep impression on her. She likes this kind of 'swordsman' who is kind and righteous and dares to sacrifice his life for the people around him. ; She also admires Zuo Lingquan's perseverance, talent, and appearance from the bottom of her heart...

It can be said that in her eyes, Zuo Lingquan is almost perfect. Except for the occasional glance, she can't find any flaws at all - this is understandable, since he is still young after all.

If Zuo Lingquan was just a wealthy young man from out of town who came to Qihuang Valley to study under his tutelage, Wu Qingwan was certain that she would do such ridiculous things as to keep the wealth from flowing to outsiders.

After all, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. She appreciates everything about the other person, so why not go further? She is not a real master, she is just older. Age does not matter when practicing Taoism, and there are no rules and regulations that prohibit you from finding a Taoist partner.

But it is a pity that Wu Qingwan is unmarried, but Zuo Lingquan is not unmarried.

After all, Zuo Lingquan is Jiang Yi's consort, and she is Jiang Yi's aunt. Even if they are not related by blood, this relationship still exists.

Wu Qingwan didn't dare to think deeply about her inner thoughts. Intellectually, she should avoid such things and be self-restrained. She should not be swayed by elusive thoughts and take the wrong path.

But her reason also told her that this technique was the most suitable for her and Zuo Lingquan, as if it was destined by fate.

Especially after Cheng Jiujiang's aggressive behavior today, the Zongmen fell into a precarious situation.

She knew that Zuo Lingquan would help her unswervingly, and this volume of exercises just allowed the two of them to improve their cultivation to cope with the coming storm.

If she hides it and waits for the sect to die, or delays each other's practice, won't she regret it for the rest of her life?

Wu Qingwan didn't know which way she should choose, and felt that she would make a mistake whichever way she went. So I simply lay down on the spot and gave Zuo Lingquan the exercises, letting him make his own decision.

Zuo Lingquan wants to fix her, no matter what she thinks in her heart, whether she is merciless or not, she can find a legitimate excuse to convince herself.

Whether this move is forced or willing, there is no need to think about it. At least the result is acceptable to both parties, and the future will have immeasurable benefits for Zuo Lingquan, for her, and even for Jiang Yi.

But she didn't expect that Zuo Lingquan, who looked so smart, turned out to be an elm lump...

When Wu Qingwan sat cross-legged, she took a breath and exhaled again, not knowing how to describe her current situation.

She took out all the exercises, but Zuo Lingquan pretended to be confused, and kept testing her meaning.

If she dared to find out what she meant, would she still give the initiative to Zuo Lingquan?

She just didn't dare to think deeply about her motives, so she let Zuo Lingquan make a decision.

Nowadays, Zuo Lingquan is pretending to be confused and doesn't even have the excuse of "having to do it for the sake of the road"; as an elder and a teacher, she can't take the initiative to say these things.

Since Zuo Lingquan doesn't take the initiative, Wu Qingwan doesn't want to ruin Shen'er anymore - anyway, Zuo Lingquan doesn't want this great opportunity, which shows that her intentions are very good and it's not a bad thing; she doesn't have to risk doing stupid things anymore. Without this skill, The sect's crisis must be resolved as usual.

That's it, love as you please...

Wu Qingwan's wild thoughts lasted for an unknown amount of time, when outside the cave, there was a muffled 'bang' of thunder.

Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, with only a few thin clouds. It was obviously a bit strange to suddenly thunder.

Wu Qingwan noticed something, opened her eyes, looked outside, and said doubtfully:

"It's a sunny day, why is there thunder?"

Zuo Lingquan also didn't fall into samadhi. At this time, he got up and walked outside the cave. He looked up and saw the bright moon above Qihuang Valley. However, in the distance, a large dark cloud appeared in his field of vision. Lightning flashed and it seemed like a heavy rain was falling. .

"It seems like it's raining heavily over there in the capital."

Yin and Yang rain is not a rare phenomenon, but it is indeed rare for it to happen so suddenly without any warning.

After Wu Qingwan looked at it for a few times, she shook her head and said, "Ordinary people can't understand God's temper."

Zuo Lingquan felt that the rain came too suddenly. Anyway, today he was a little confused and couldn't concentrate, so he simply said:

"Senior Wu, I haven't been back to the capital for some time, I just went back to have a look, and come back tomorrow."

Wu Qingwan had no objection to this, thought for a while and said:

"Remember to drop by and see Jiang Yi. By the way, buy her something. Didn't you buy a flower carp last time? I think Jiang Yi's outfit is quite suitable. If you buy her something, I think she will like it. "

"Well……"

Zuo Lingquan's mind was already a little confused, but now it was even more confused. After nodding his head as a signal, he went down the stairs alone.

Wu Qingwan sat cross-legged again, but her heart could not calm down. After a long silence, she rubbed the center of her eyebrows weakly...

——

Thunder was rolling in the sky above Donghua City, and bean-sized raindrops poured down. From a distance, it seemed that someone pierced through the Tianhe River and poured flood water down.

Zuo Lingquan rode a big black horse and galloped for more than thirty miles. In less than two quarters of an hour, he arrived at the outskirts of the capital. As soon as he broke into the rain curtain, he was so wet that he couldn't open his eyes.

There was no one on the official road, and even the city gate guards hid in the gate hole, watching the inexplicable rainstorm.

Entering the capital from the city gate, the location is just outside Linhefang.

Zuo Lingquan originally thought that there would be no one on the street due to such a heavy rain. When he looked up, he found that there were densely packed men, women and children standing under the eaves of the street, with some belongings in their arms. Some people were still kneeling on the ground and shouting something like: "God opens your eyes."

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused. After walking only a few steps in the heavy rain, he found that the roofs of the houses behind the wall had scorch marks, and some of the houses were still smoking under the rain.

There were not just one or two houses with burn marks. At a glance, it seemed that the entire Linhefang and the surrounding area had been burned by fire. Fortunately, the fire was not very serious. The sudden heavy rain probably extinguished the fire.

Zuo Lingquan was slightly startled, and quickly turned his horse's head and headed towards Tangjia Restaurant.

On the riverside street, many people also gathered, and some officials braved the rain to put out some remaining fires.

Zuo Lingquan flew to the outside of Tangjia Winery on horseback, only to see that the door of the winery was closed tightly, there were traces of fire on the windows, and the original wine flags had turned into burnt black strips of cloth.

"Miss Tang?"

Zuo Lingquan flew up without dismounting his horse, jumped directly onto the roof of the restaurant, and looked at the backyard from the roof ridge - the backyard was also in a mess, the kitchen and the bedroom in the west wing were the most severely damaged, and the windows had been burned out.

Zuo Lingquan's face turned pale, and he jumped down from the roof. Just as he was about to run into the bedroom to check, he suddenly heard a cry of "Wow——" coming from under the big osmanthus tree in the corner of the yard.

The cry was extremely sad, with a bit of hoarseness and trembling.

It was as if he had been suppressed for too long and dared not speak out. Suddenly he saw a life-saving straw and his heartstrings relaxed instantly.

Although the cry was very sad and hoarse, Zuo Lingquan still recognized Tang Jingxun's voice.

He quickly looked under the osmanthus tree, but Tang Jingxun was soaked all over, with pear blossoms on his face and sobbing. He opened up the thin quilt wrapped around him, got up and ran over, grabbing his sleeve directly; There was no trace of blood, his whole body was trembling, he couldn't stand at all, and he sat down directly on the ground.

"Woooo..."

Zuo Lingquan hurriedly put his hands on Tang Jingxun's shoulders, but the touch on his hands was slippery. Looking through the lightning, he discovered that Tang Jingxun was only wearing white clothes and pajamas.

The white coat was already thin, but after being soaked by the heavy rain for a long time, it was almost transparent and stuck to the skin. You could clearly see the goose-yellow bellyband under the coat.

The white pajama pants were not much better. They clung to the body tightly and were almost transparent, showing the outline of the camel toe.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't think of anything else. After taking a quick look, he hurriedly took off his robe, wrapped it around Tang Jingxun's body, and comforted her softly:

"Sister Tang, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay..."

"Woooooooooo... Xiaozuo..."

Tang Jingxun was meditating just now. When he was awakened by the thunder and noticed the fire, the boudoir was already a sea of ​​​​fire. He was frightened at that time. He was able to rush out of the fire with the quilt on his back only by instinct.

At this time, he was clutching Zuo Lingquan's sleeve tightly, sobbing non-stop and unable to speak clearly, obviously he still hadn't come to his senses.

Zuo Lingquan knew that Tang Jingxuan had experienced a fire when she was just born, which almost burned down the entire Linhefang and killed many people. Her mother was also frightened by the fire and died indirectly.

The people of Linhefang, even after more than twenty years, still have lingering fears about the fire. It's not surprising that Tang Jingxuan was so frightened.

At this time, Zuo Lingquan could only support Tang Jingxun and let her hide under the eaves of the main house that had not been burned. He wrapped her tightly in a robe and comforted her softly:

"It's okay, it's okay. It's raining heavily and the fire has been put out..."

"Chichi--"

While Zuo Lingquan was talking, he hadn't wrapped his robe tightly yet when he suddenly heard the sound of birds chirping from under Tang Jingxun's clothes.

He looked down and found that Tang Jingxun's bellyband was moving, and then a black coal ball came out of the collar of his coat. The white down on his head and chest was almost burnt by the fire, and he looked like he had lost a lot of weight. ...
