The fairy is fierce

The turtle waved its four fins, leaving a white trail on the dark blue sea. The ethereal and vast whale song came from the depths of the sea, making the two people on the turtle's back feel like they were thousands of miles away from the world.

"Woo~..."

Xie Qiutao sat on the turtle's back, holding the pipa in his hand. He originally wanted to play music to relieve his boredom, but when he heard the purest rhythmic music in the world, he felt unable to start. It felt that no matter what tune he played, the world was stained with the world. Fireworks.

Shangguan Yutang raised his eyes to look at the galaxy, his eyes slightly lost in thought, but this time he was not arguing with Jingxun, but thinking of the last time he passed through this place.

She was not very old at that time, and the little female dragon was just a little snake that was more than ten feet long. Because she heard that there were immortals living in seclusion overseas, she went to sea to visit the immortals and came here.

At that time, she was riding on the back of a little female dragon, looking at the stars like this. The rhythm of the whale song echoed in her ears. She was not affected by the artistic conception of being alone in the world. She only thought about how to persuade the gods to help her when she saw the gods later. She wiped away the lingering obsession in her heart.

Unfortunately, when I later arrived at Guye Island, I discovered that the gods on the island did not have the magical power to bring the dead back to life. They were just a group of hermits who stayed away from the world and explored the truth of heaven and earth alone.

However, this trip was not too disappointing. There was an old lady on the island. After learning what she wanted, she said something to her, which probably meant:

The cycle of life and death is endless. It is difficult to resurrect the dead, but it is very simple to prevent the living from suffering. Instead of finding their relatives and letting them return to the village to live a hard life, it is better to find a way to let them grow up in a peaceful and prosperous next life. You won’t go through the hardships of this life.

After hearing this, she was deeply inspired and slowly changed her views on life and death. Her goal changed from retrieving her people to protecting the land beneath her feet and protecting every ordinary person who might be the reincarnation of her parents.

This road is very long. To this day, she has only protected the small area of ​​Dongzhou and Southern League. But as long as she lives, she will one day realize her ideal; even if she dies one day, there will be successors around her to help her. Complete this obsession.

Thinking of Zuo Lingquan, Shangguan Yutang actually felt a little guilty in his heart.

After all, Shangguan Yutang's personality is the same as Zuo Lingquan's. He wants to carry everything by himself and the people around him can live happily. If he wants to leave the burden on his shoulders to the people around him, it only shows his incompetence.

People around me...

Shangguan Yutang came back to his senses and became a little confused about the word "people around him". He didn't understand Zuo Lingquan's position around him.

Taoist friends who share joys and sorrows... definitely don't count.

Son-in-law, apprentice...

Shangguan Yutang licked his red lips lightly, and he didn't know what shameful thing he thought of. Anyway, as soon as he had distracting thoughts in his mind, he heard a quiet shout in his mind:

"Damn bitch, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm going back first, yourself..."

"Hey, shut up, can I go to sleep?"

"snort……"

Shangguan Yutang snorted secretly, brushed aside his distracting thoughts and stood up, looking at an island appearing at the end of his field of vision.

Xie Qiutao was wandering thousands of miles away, secretly wondering whether something happened outside to Zuo Lingquan and Senior Sister Qiu that the little girl didn't dare to think about. When he saw the outline of the island in the distance, he came back to his senses:

"Are you there? Is there anyone on this island?"

The isolated island is quite large, but it looks very primitive from a distance. The periphery of the island is covered with green vegetation, and there are no lights. It is not until you get closer that you can see an artificially carved island under the stone cliff along the coast. Stone stairs.

Not all immortal families on the land of Jiuzhou belong to the two paths of good and evil. There are also many neutral sects, which adhere to the ancient immortal family's way of hiding from the world. They hide in the deep mountains and forests or in the wilderness overseas. They spend their entire lives doing nothing but being involved in the world. At most, they are in the world. When I need to pass on the incense, I will leave the mountain briefly. ♙♕ ♦ ♦

The Guye Island in front of us is one of them. There is no record of good or evil. Only Shangguan Patriarch, a figure on the top of the mountain who has seen all over Jiuzhou, will know the existence of such a small place.

Xie Qiutao followed Shangguan Ancestor and rode a turtle to the foot of the sea cliff. After waiting for only a moment, a woman in yellow clothes appeared on the cliff. After taking a look at the two of them, she spoke softly:

"Guye Island is closed to all guests. If you two have no place to stay, you can stop at the gravel reef a hundred miles away..."

Shangguan Yutang raised his hand and saluted:

"I'm Shangguan Yutang. Three thousand years ago, I was fortunate enough to receive advice from Grandma Guihua. Now I'm passing through this place and came here to pay a visit. I wonder if Grandma Guihua still builds it?"

"Three thousand... Shangguan..."

The woman on the stone cliff was obviously a little confused.

After looking at the two people for a long time, he saw that the ancestor's aura did not seem to be fake, so he bowed and said:

"I will inform the division commander, you two, wait a moment."

The woman's figure disappeared on the stone cliff, and after about half a cup of tea, she reappeared, followed by a gray-haired old woman.

When Shangguan Yutang saw the old woman, his eyes showed a bit of disappointment. He knew that after three thousand years of vicissitudes, the former Grandma Osmanthus had long since escaped into reincarnation. This old woman should be the disciple and grandson of countless generations.

The old woman was very old, her face was covered with folds like orange peel. She looked like her death was not far away. Her expression was very kind. She walked up to her with a cane and nodded:

"Senior is Miss Yutang, why didn't that greedy little snake come?"

Shangguan Yutang was a little surprised, and took Qiutao to the island with a friendly voice:

"Stay home little snake, have you heard of me?"

"There are few people on the island, and the seniors are very famous. I heard my grandma talk about it before, so I remembered it. I didn't expect to see him again in this life..."

"Just call me Yutang, you don't have to call me senior. After I came here once before, I worked hard all over Jiuzhou and didn't have the chance to come and visit. I didn't expect you guys to still remember me."

"well……"

The old woman walked on the stone road with a cane, shook her head and said:

"I can't forget this. According to Grandma Grandma, Grandma Guihua was still thinking about you before she died. She told her descendants that when you get married, we must burn some paper money in front of the grave and tell her."

"Um?"

Qiu Tao, who was following behind obediently, was startled, and hurriedly trotted forward, listening attentively. However, the ancestor squinted his eyes and glanced at it. He quickly pretended that nothing had happened and looked at the surrounding scenery: "Hmm, huh, huh." "

Shangguan Yutang smiled: "Grandma Guihua also said this?"

"Yes, Grandma Guihua said that no man is worthy of a good girl like you, and it is difficult to find a husband. She just thought that one day when you are in trouble, she will help you to enlighten you. The result is good. Grandma Guihua waited until she died. I haven't heard any news from outside. It seems that you are really not ready to get married. But Grandma Guihua said that the yin and yang match is the way of heaven. No matter how high you go, you can't escape this hurdle, so I want to know what you can expect. when."

Shangguan Yutang did not deny this, but responded with a smile:

"Grandma Guihua likes to worry about these things, but she is disappointed."

“Hey, it’s just that the fate has not come yet, so there’s no way to say I’m disappointed.

While the old woman was talking, she took the two of them to the center of the island. In addition to some buildings hidden in the forest, there was a small lake in the middle. There was a stone bridge on the lake, leading to an osmanthus tree in the center of the lake. There were countless ribbons and a small grave under the tree.

When Xie Qiutao saw the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the middle of the lake, he felt that it did not look like an ordinary tree and asked curiously:

"What is this tree for?"

The old woman smiled: "Grandma planted the sweet-scented osmanthus before she died to protect her descendants with the spirit in heaven. Our Guye Island is a hidden sect, and we pay attention to one person in one day, one place. Every time a woman is getting married, or a man is choosing a mate, he will come there. Worship under the tree and ask Grandma Osmanthus to see where my sweetheart is."

Xie Qiutao was stunned: "Can we see this in advance?"

The old woman shook her head and looked at Shangguan Yutang:

"Death is like a lamp going out. Grandma Osmanthus has passed away a long time ago. How can she have such magical powers? But the Osmanthus tree can see it very accurately, and I can't explain why. Girl Yutang should know these mysterious things better than me."

Shangguan Yutang glanced at the osmanthus tree and explained calmly:

"There is not much mystery. I just use this tree to get a glimpse of my heart. When I see the person in my heart, I will naturally feel that it is accurate."

The old woman moved her eyes to Xie Qiutao:

"Would you like to give it a try, little girl? You might find your sweetheart here."

Xie Qiutao's expression froze and she thought to herself: Do I even need to look at it? Bah, bah, bah...what am I looking at?

Xie Qiutao looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree a little shyly:

"I'm only a little old, don't worry..."

Shangguan Yutang had already seen through Qiutao's thoughts and said:

"If you don't dare to look, it means you already have the answer in your mind. The result will be the same whether you go or not."

The old woman nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Xie Qiutao really couldn't refute this. She was a little confused and couldn't answer, so she simply kicked the ball back:

"Senior Shangguan, why don't you give it a try?"

"..."

Shangguan Yutang's expression didn't change at all. He wanted to refuse, but she just said, "If you don't dare to go, it means you have the answer in your heart."

Go ahead, in case you see something messy...

I still have the answer in my heart!

Although it is just an inconspicuous little osmanthus tree, it has real magical powers. A single meaning can make the Valkyrie, who has a rock-solid mind, feel a little stirred in her heart.

Shangguan Yutang noticed the instability of the lake in his heart. In order to stabilize his state of mind, he stepped directly onto the stone bridge and came to the center of the lake where cinnamon was bursting. He looked at the big tree in front of him.

The night breeze was gentle and the middle of the lake was silent, except for an old tree and a beautiful woman.

Xie Qiutao stood by the lake and looked at the back of her ancestor. She wanted to know who the man in her heart was, but she was also afraid that she would silence her if she found out. She was a little frightened.

But what is disappointing is that there is no vision in the middle of the lake.

The quiet Shangguan Yutang looked at the tree crown for a moment, bowed to the small grave next to him, and then walked back.

Xie Qiutao didn't dare to ask, but couldn't help it, so she asked in a low voice:

"Senior, who did you see?"

"I didn't see anything."

"Really? Immortal Lord doesn't lie..."

The old woman raised her hand slightly and interrupted Qiutao's words:

"You only know this in your heart, no one will tell outsiders, so there's no need to ask."

Shangguan Yutang laughed at this and did not explain anything.

Xie Qiutao was full of curiosity, but couldn't force the Shangguan Patriarch to question him, so he could only give up in frustration.

Jingxun, who had not slept at all, couldn't hold it in anymore and asked in his heart:

"Mother, did you see Zuo Lingquan just now?! I saw it all..."

Shangguan Yutang's heart was as calm as a mirror, and he responded calmly:

"My soul is too powerful and will not be affected by such a small thing. Just now, your body was confused by the cinnamon, and your heart was unstable when you saw Zuo Lingquan; I just saw what you were thinking, and it has no direct relationship with me."

"Don't try to lie to me. Your heart skipped a beat just now. You must have an idea."

"You're not talking nonsense. I'm looking at my sweetheart and suddenly see my son-in-law. How can I not be startled? This kind of thing only works if I come over. Being disturbed by you with your body will only cause misunderstandings. It doesn't count."

"Yeah?"

"What, you really want me to pretend to be Zuo Lingquan in my heart? If I am moved by Fan Xin, you and those little girls will have to come over to rub my shoulders and beat my legs if you want to kiss me in the future. Do you think this is a good thing?"

"Bah, you have a beautiful idea...I'm just asking casually, mother-in-law, I'm warning you, if you are caught by me for being disrespectful, I will go to Tiecu Mansion to beat gongs and drums, saying that you don't know how to dig out your ashes... "

Remove the ashes? !

Shangguan Patriarch was too lazy to pay attention to these messy words. After looking back at the old osmanthus tree in the middle of the lake, he and the old woman walked towards the depths of the island and continued to visit their old places...——

Thousands of miles away.

Unknowingly, a scorching sun hung on the eastern horizon. The boat, which should not have appeared in the endless sea, had sailed along the blue waves for an unknown distance.

Zuo Lingquan was sitting at the stern of the boat. In front of him was a small table for drinking tea. On the small table were three plates made of ice, with fillets of unknown salmon neatly arranged inside.

Tuanzi squatted in the corner of the small table, looking at the sashimi with his bright black eyes. He felt a little regretful, and he was probably thinking: It would be great if Taotao was here. She has oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and mustard. It is not authentic to eat without seasoning. …

Miss Qiu was sitting at attention opposite Xiao An. When she saw Zuo Lingquan's proficient knife skills, she wanted to say, "Can you cook?", but the swordsman was good at slicing and could be considered a good cook. His cooking skills were also good. It’s so worthless. After thinking about it, I could only change my words:

"There is a Bafangzhai in Thunder Bluff. The host family gave him the title of 'God of Cooking'. The most famous dish is 'Roasted Whole Kun without Roots'..."

"grumble?!"

Tuanzi was shocked and felt that the fish fillet in front of him suddenly lost its flavor.

Zuo Lingquan heard Qiu Tao talk about Bafangzhai, but the Treasure Pond was opened that day and he had no chance to go. Hearing the sound, he laughed and said:

"Roasted whole Kun? Can you finish it?"

"I haven't eaten it either. My father has eaten it. According to my father, the scene was huge. Tens of thousands of monks gathered in the small square on Qianyuan Street. No one with any identity could get in front; Black Cliff Sword Ghost Chu Yi I was invited to cut the fish with a sword, and the bones and flesh were separated with one stroke of the sword, and the complete skeleton could be taken out..."

"hehe……"

Listening to this narration, Zuo Lingquan really yearned for the lively scene that was incompatible with spiritual practice. After he cut the fish, he handed a portion to Miss Qiu, then to the dumpling, and asked:

"We have traveled seven to eight hundred miles, how far are Jingxun and the others still?"

Tuanzi pointed in a certain direction with the tip of his wing, and then started to devour the food, with an attitude of "hurry up, hurry up".

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say and continued to talk about roasting Kun.

But not long after the two chatted, they faintly realized something was wrong.

Hua Hua

In the distance on the sea surface, something seemed to be moving. It was very large and definitely not an ordinary whale or turtle.

Miss Qiu was holding an ice crystal plate and was taking a sip of sashimi. After noticing something strange, her eyes became cautious, she put the plate down and held the green sword beside her:

"Be careful, there's something in front of you, it's quite big."

Zuo Lingquan had already stood up, lowered his breath and carefully searched the sea surface, and asked:

"Judging from the movements, the size is no less than a hundred feet, it can't be Kun, right?"

"Chiji..."

Tuanzi shook his head while eating the fish, indicating not to panic.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan thought that even Kunpeng was a very good person, and his fear was slightly reduced.

The two of them were currently in the sea. It would be risky to consume the Qi reserves easily, so Zuo Lingquan prepared to avoid the giant thing ahead with Miss Qiu.

But after Miss Qiu carefully perceived it for a moment, she frowned slightly:

"No, this thing is a bit familiar, a bit like...like..."

…

—

Dozens of miles away.

On the calm and sunny sea, a phantom of a dragon python several hundred feet long was swimming leisurely on the sea. Behind it, there was a small hill with white hair, following the phantom floating on the sea.

Snow Wolf King Lang Hai, although he was seriously injured, his consciousness was awake at the moment. He was floating on the water, looking at the clouds in the sky, and asked:

"Xuan Ye, you are also a demon clan. The cultivation of the demon clan can be said to be 'no way behind and no door in front of you'. If you want to go further, you can only fight with your life. You still have fighting strength. I think you should stay in Posu Continent. If you counterattack with them and just retreat like this, you won't have any merit in battle. "

Snake Ancestor Xuanye recovered his true form, poked out half of his head on the sea surface, and responded calmly:

"You have earned military exploits, but you have to have the life to spend it. The situation in Posu Continent is not right. You and I are staying here to be the pawns of the human race, to test the depth of the opponent. Instead of giving up our lives when the time comes, it is better to take the opportunity to go back , at worst it’s just a bit of infamy, the demon clan doesn’t care about reputation.”

Lang Hai thought for a while: "I am the king of Snow Lang Mountain. If I go to another place, I will be nothing. To be honest, I don't want to leave. But if I don't leave, you have no excuse to leave."

"A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. With your way of doing things, where can you not become king? And the higher ups will definitely fight back the Posu Island. When the time comes, just heal your wounds and take back the territory."

"Sigh... Cultivation means 'everything should be done from the heart'. I am going against my will and leaving with you this time. I feel it is an ominous sign."

"Don't worry, I travel back and forth often and I am familiar with the local snakes in this sea area. They will sell the Demon King's face and won't... won't..."

A word of dialogue.

Xuan Ye raised the snake's head in the sea, and its aura showed a certain ferocity. It looked back to the east, and then looked at the two auras approaching quickly in front of it. The scarlet snake eyes became vertical.

Lang Hai's half-closed wolf eyes opened a little at this time, but immediately changed back to half-closed appearance, and sighed:

"It's time and fate. Run, I still have some strength left to block you."

…

At the beginning of the new volume, I had to write a detailed outline to sort out the subsequent plot, so the writing was a bit rough.
