The fairy is fierce

The ferry stayed at Shuanlong Port for half a day. At dusk, it slowly set sail and sailed along the Qingdu River to Linyuan City thousands of miles away.

Ninety percent of the people on the boat were cultivators, mostly independent cultivators. They were unfamiliar with each other and had little contact with each other. Most of them stayed in their own rooms.

The specifications of the ferry rooms could not be the same. As a princess of the dynasty, Jiang Yi was treated preferentially. Her room was much more spacious than others, and there were more furnishings inside. It was considered a suite with a clean and elegant environment.

At this time, in the spacious room, three women and one man gathered around the round table, looking at the little bird Tuanzi who had caused trouble with a serious look.

Tuanzi stood beside the teacup in a proper manner, looking at Tang Jingyan with his black eyes, and occasionally made a "chi chi" sound, which should be saying "the bird knows its mistake".

Tang Jingyan was weak and a little tired from sitting. She leaned forward and put her heavy chest on the table. She supported her cheek with her hands and said in disbelief:

"Xiao Zuo, can this little bird really spit fire?"

Zuo Lingquan sat between Jiang Yi and Wu Qingwan and nodded seriously:

"Really, many people saw it just now, and they almost roasted the human snake."

Jiang Yi held her cheeks with both hands and looked at the chubby Tuanzi carefully: "Its mouth is so small, can it eat snakes?"

"Ji~" Tuanzi nodded like pounding garlic.

Wu Qingwan was more dignified. She did not put her heavier chest on the table to reduce the weight. She just sat on the round stool and supported her face with the back of her hand:

"Really smart, a bit like a spirit beast. But spirit beasts are born with magical powers. What magical powers does Tuanzi have?"

Zuo Lingquan said: "Fire breathing should be considered a magical power, but the flame is too small. It can probably only be used to light a lamp."

Tang Jingxun let Tuanzi eat and drink for free for so many years. Knowing that this lazy little bird finally has some skills, she also has a feeling of "wanting her son to become a dragon"; she moved the lamp on the table over, grabbed Tuanzi and came to her:

"It's okay to light a lamp, at least it can save some flint. Come on, light the lamp."

"Chi?"

Tuanzi felt a little wronged. It didn't look like he would do such a shameful thing, but when Tang Jingxun glared at him, he still obediently came to the wick and opened his beak.

Huh

A small red flame appeared, only half the length of a finger, and it sprayed crookedly, not lighting the wick, but melting the copper lampstand a little.

The objects in the room were all prepared for secular officials. The lampstand was only made of brass, but it could melt in one breath, so this flame was obviously not simple.

Wu Qingwan sat up straighter and looked closer:

"It can really spit fire. Even brass can't stand it. It's not like ordinary fire. If it spit longer, ordinary magic weapons and spiritual weapons may not be able to withstand the burning."

Zuo Lingquan also thought so and wondered: "Why haven't I seen it spit fire before?"

Jiang Yi guessed: "It may be like ordinary birds and beasts. It will only show its claws when hunting. The temperature of the flame is so high, so the consumption is naturally not small. No wonder it only knows how to eat all day."

Tang Jingxuan saw that Tuanzi couldn't even light a lamp, and he was a little uninterested. He looked at it over and over for a while, and suddenly remembered something. He slapped the table lightly and scolded:

"Tuanzi! Did you set the fire in Linhefang?"

"Ji?!"

Tuanzi was stunned, staring at his master in disbelief, and then shook his head like a rattle.

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and explained for Tuanzi: "The first fire happened when Sister Tang was just born. Tuanzi hadn't run to the tavern at that time, so it was definitely not set by her. I guess it has something to do with the phoenix underground."

When Jiang Yi heard this, her heart moved and she said:

"This bird is not the same as Jingxun, is it a phoenix?"

Tuanzi spread his little wings again, posing like a flying phoenix, but it's a pity that he looks so chubby that it doesn't even look like a bird.

Tang Jingxun didn't believe it, so she raised her hand and picked up Tuanzi:

"It's not like I haven't seen a phoenix before. The big phoenix on the Phoenix Valley last time had nine long tails and a crown on its head. It was so beautiful. Look at its stupid appearance, does it look like a phoenix?"

The three of them looked at it carefully and nodded slowly, thinking that it didn't look like a bird.

"Chi?"

Zuo Lingquan sighed when he saw Tuanzi's pitiful appearance, "It's still young, maybe it will grow up to be a phoenix, but don't eat anything randomly or run around. If someone catches it, it will be a big deal."

"Did you hear me? If you run around again, I'll find a rope to tie you up."

"Chi..."

Wu Qingwan's autumn eyes were smiling. After looking at it for a while, she remembered that Zuo Lingquan also had a pet, so she asked:

"Lingquan, your little bug, isn't it also a spiritual beast?"

These days, Zuo Lingquan would let the little beetle breathe every few days, and then feed it some worthless pills or something. Apart from putting some painless poison, he didn't see any magical powers. He shook his head and said:

"It's just a little poisonous insect, not like a spiritual beast, and not as powerful as Tuanzi."

"Oh..."

...

The four people looked around Tuanzi, and apart from thinking it was cute, they didn't see anything special.

Wu Qingwan saw the boat set sail, her eyes moved slightly, as if she remembered something, the smile on her face faded a little, after saying hello, she stood up and left the room alone.

Zuo Lingquan and Wu Qingwan have known each other for so long, he noticed the subtle changes in Wu Qingwan's expression, thought about it, and also stood up and walked out of the room-

The ferry set sail, the corridor was empty, everyone was resting in the room.

Zuo Lingquan searched around and finally saw Wu Qingwan at the corner of the viewing gallery outside the ship building, looking alone at the river scenery along the coast.

The Qingdu River is very wide, and even a large ferry is like a small boat in it. The sky is getting darker, and the mountains and rivers along the river gradually become blurred as they recede. The most eye-catching scenery is the setting sun at the end of the mountains and rivers, and the burning sunset glow in the sky.

The red glow after the rain has cleared up shines on the carefully carved viewing verandah. Wu Qingwan's cloud-white dress is also dyed with a faint red like the sunset on the horizon, dancing lightly with the river breeze.

Wu Qingwan stood by the fence, her jade-like face facing the sunset, her autumn eyes looking into the distance, in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Zuo Lingquan walked slowly to his side, first looked at the river view, then moved his eyes to the side face that was more beautiful than the river view, and asked:

"Senior Wu, why did you suddenly run out alone?"

Wu Qingwan folded her hands on her waist and looked into the distance for a long time before saying softly:

"Ling Quan, if we go out this time, will you come back?"

Zuo Lingquan raised the corners of his lips: "I'm definitely coming back. Why are you asking about this?"

"A lot of people came out of Dadan in the past. Before leaving, they all thought about returning home in fine clothes one day. But when they went outside and saw the big world, they no longer looked down on the small place in Dadan. They never came back. Those who were interested knew how to ask the caravan to take them with them. A letter is lost to most people, never to be found again.”

Zuo Lingquan came out for a trip. Although he had not yet reached the center of the Great Yan Dynasty, he had already seen the colorful world outside and the opportunities everywhere. Compared with it, the Great Dan Dynasty was really no different from a barren land. He had heard Wu Qingwan say before that a relative outside saw Wu Qingwan in a bad mood and asked:

"I remember Senior Wu said before, is there a relative here?"

Wu Qingwan blinked: "Have I said that before?"

"As I said, on the third day after I gave you the bellyband, the two of us rode the white crane to Donghua City together. You said it when we were in the sky."

"You have a good memory."

"I was wearing a bellyband at the time and wanted to ask Senior Wu if he had worn it, but it was hard to ask, so I still remember it."

"well……"

Wu Qingwan raised her hands and tightened her clothes. She didn't answer the question. She thought about it for a while and then said:

"I went to Qihuang Valley before because of the recommendation of my elders. My second uncle is also a practitioner and used to be a disciple of Qihuang Valley. You and the fourth uncle went to Linyuan City together back then; your fourth uncle, in When I was participating in the selection, I was maimed by someone. For the sake of my own safety, I had to leave early...

… My second uncle was lucky. I heard that he met a noble man and was picked up by a large sect, but there has been no news since then. My father and the others were worried, and I didn’t dare to tell my family about it. , I just said that practicing a religion is different from the ordinary world, and it is normal to stay in seclusion for several years...I don’t know if the second uncle is like other people who have gone out, and has forgotten the world, or..."

When Wu Qingwan said this, there was some worry in her eyes. She may have already had speculations in her heart, but it was a matter of life and death for her family members. Before the news was confirmed, she must have been lucky.

Although Zuo Lingquan didn't have much contact with the practice, he already understood the cruelty of the practice. It was normal for something to happen if he had no one to rely on when he went out.

He thought for a while, stood a little closer, raised his arms and put his arms around Wu Qingwan's shoulders, and comforted her softly:

"For such a big thing as the Nine Sects Alliance, since it was picked up by the sect, there must be clues. When I get to Linyuan City, I will find a way to investigate. There is also the matter of the fourth uncle, I will find a way if I have the chance. Settle the account."

Wu Qingwan was hugged by the shoulders, but she rarely resisted. She only turned her head and glanced at the viewing gallery to make sure no one was paying attention, and then reprimanded softly:

"I have to look for someone, but don't hold on to the idea of ​​​​avenging your fourth uncle. This is not a world. It has been so many years, and even your fourth uncle has looked away. There is no need for you to find a place."

"I mean if there is a chance, if there is no chance, I will definitely not mess around."

"You think I don't know your temperament? You have to act haphazardly even if you don't have the chance to create opportunities."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan really couldn't refute. He smiled softly and said nothing more. He just hugged the beauty and looked at the sunset and sunset in the distance.

Wu Qingwan maintained the dignified look of an elder, but after standing for a while, she didn't know if she was a little tired from standing, so she moved closer intentionally or unintentionally, and rested her cheek on Zuo Lingquan's shoulder.

The wind on the Susu River blew the fiery red clouds, and the men and women in white leaned together against the glow, and sailed together in the same boat towards the unknown in the distance.

As the saying goes, 'A hundred years of cultivation lead to a journey in the same boat.' Whether this is the case for others, Wu Qingwan doesn't know, but she has indeed practiced for forty years before reaching this moment that cannot be explained to others...
