The fairy is fierce

Hua Hua

The waves hit the rocks, and a few seagulls were enjoying the summer dusk under the coconut trees. The chicks, covered in black down, poked their heads out from behind the trees, curiously looking at the new faces walking slowly towards them.

Shangguan Yutang stood quietly on the stone cliff, facing the sea with his back to the breeze. His snow-green skirt and hair were blown in front of him, and the smooth fabric outlined the perfect waist and hip curves.

Shangguan Yutang has a lonely temperament, but his quiet figure is too soft. Standing on the beach without a smile and looking at his back, she looks like a lonely and dazed young daughter-in-law.

Zuo Lingquan walked leisurely through the forest path, trying his best to maintain a calm expression, but when he saw the back of his ancestor, his steps involuntarily slowed down. When he walked outside the stone cliff, he straightened his clothes a little:

"Well...Senior Shangguan..."

"Give you the decency to do it yourself."

"...?"

Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth, a little confused, looked around and said:

"What did senior ask me to do?"

Shangguan Yutang turned around on the stone cliff, his face still showing the indifference of a bird's eye view of the common people, looking down at Zuo Lingquan:

"Have you forgotten what I said when I was at Zuo's house?"

Zuo Lingquan recalled: "Well...if you find me thinking wildly again, you will kill me..."

"Do you think I'm joking?" Shangguan Yutang's eyes were cold, with a sense of determination to destroy relatives.

Zuo Lingquan's heart skipped a beat, his eyes looked a little innocent, and he explained seriously:

"Senior, don't get me wrong. I'm not thinking wildly. Well... I don't know the details of the laurel tree just now. I was pulled by Qiutao to look at it, and I didn't know what to look at..."

Shangguan Yutang's face was as dark as water: "This tree can help people see the dirty thoughts in their hearts. Does it make sense for you to explain it now?"

Zuo Lingquan shook his head quickly: "How can you call it dirty? This tree can help people see into their hearts. I pretend to be a senior in my heart, is that okay?"

"no problem?"

"Yes, senior has been so kind to me. If I don't have senior in my heart, it would be called a wolf-hearted person. Didn't I say before that there is not only love between people, but also family affection and friendship? I don't know this tree When you see the people around you, you will naturally think of the people you haven’t seen, and then you will see the seniors..."

"..."

This explanation, in theory, doesn't really have anything wrong with it.

After all, Zuo Lingquan didn't know beforehand that this tree was for his sweetheart, so he could barely explain away any mistakes.

"You mean, what you see is the person you cherish around you?"

Zuo Lingquan nodded sincerely: "That's right."

"Then have you seen your father and mother?"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan blinked his eyes and said seriously:

"There are many people I cherish. Lingye and the others are all here. Before I could see my parents, they were interrupted by seniors... If seniors didn't interrupt, I would definitely wonder why my parents were not there, and then I would see …”

After Shangguan Yutang examined Zuo Lingquan for a long time, his expression gradually softened and he said calmly:

"Just take care of the people around you from now on, and don't take me to heart. I can erase part of your memory at any time, but I don't want to do that. I hope you can take care of yourself and don't make me, the mother-in-law, embarrassed."

When Zuo Lingquan heard about his mother-in-law, he couldn't help but think of the scene of his tongue being bitten, and felt extremely weird in his heart. But I definitely didn’t dare to reveal this weirdness, so I could only change the topic with a smile:

"Then...where did Xuanye get any useful information?"

Shangguan Yutang has already seen through the world and knows everything well, but there are some things that she cannot hold on to, so she does not talk in detail, taps her toes and jumps off the cliff, walking towards the forest trail:

"I asked something..."

Shangguan Yutang used Jingxun's body. Jingxun was not tall. He was speaking while standing on the cliff just now in order to have more pressure.

At this time, he jumped down after losing his temper. He was half a head shorter than Zuo Lingquan in an instant, and he also assumed the attitude of his ancestors with his head held high. The contrast was huge and he felt quite cute.

But Zuo Lingquan finally fooled him, but he didn't dare to laugh. He followed behind and listened carefully.

"Xuan Ye's stance was not firm. The leaders of the foreign tribes had figured it out a long time ago and did not tell him the important information. However, based on his behavior, he has seen some clues over the years.

Shangguan Yutang looked at the sea to the west:

"According to Xuan Ye, the Cangsha Ancient River area in Kuibingzhou has always been listed as a forbidden area, and even Xun Mingzhang kept it secret; the Cangsha Ancient River is rumored to be the 'Longxing Land' of an immortal emperor in ancient times. Who The Immortal Emperor did not ascend, and disappeared after a battle with the extraterrestrial demon..."

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he curiously asked: "Could it be that the Immortal Emperor still exists in the world?"

Shangguan Yutang shook his head: "No. The Immortal Emperor is the Jiu Gai realm, which means to unify the nine continents and monopolize the destiny of the world. At this stage, the spiritual energy of the nine continents can no longer supply the monks for practice. The only way out is to fly to the sky and forcefully Staying here will consume your lifespan; therefore, every immortal emperor in ancient times would not have been in charge of the world for more than a thousand years, which is shorter than the time I have been in charge of the Nine Sects."

Zuo Lingquan nodded half-understanding and asked again:

"If those Immortal Emperors go out, they can't come back again?"

"When you step on the path of spiritual practice, you are no longer a human being; the same should be true for flying to the sky. The existence of immortality should see us reincarnation in the same way as we see mortals growing old, sick and dying. Even if we are destroyed by demons from outside the world, in their eyes Here, he will be reborn in another world at the next moment. If he doesn't come back, he may not want to interfere with the reincarnation of heaven with selfish motives..."

Shangguan Yutang was in the Five Elements and the Three Realms, and had never been outside. He only guessed about these things and didn't take them seriously. After a brief chat, he returned to the main topic:

"The aliens' plan in the Cangsha Ancient River must be related to opening up the Longevity Path; since you have learned the news, you must understand the general situation so that you can prepare in advance. You are already here, so go there on the way."

Zuo Lingquan knew that this trip was quite risky, but he didn't mean to refuse. After all, if he didn't do it, he couldn't let the ancestor go there in person. He just asked:

"You won't take Xuanye with you, will you? I can't trust a snake..."

"No need, I have already notified Huang Yuhe and asked him to come and take Xuanye away and take him back to Dongzhou for custody. I will keep in touch with you at any time, and you don't have to worry about it playing tricks and telling lies behind your back."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly: "Should I go alone?"

"I have to weigh it before going to Kuibingzhou. It's not a joke. The old witch can't protect you at all. It's harmful to bring too many people around you... You and Lingye should act separately, one in the light and the other in the dark. If Lingye gets into trouble, you make a noise and sacrifice yourself to cover her evacuation. As for you..."

Shangguan Yutang said this, turned around, raised his cheeks and looked at the handsome man in front of him, and handed the green sheathed sword on his waist back to him:

"There will always be a day for me to escape into reincarnation. I hope to see you truly stand on your own before that day comes. Don't let me down."

The words were very deep, like entrusting an orphan to someone else.

Zuo Lingquan took the green sheathed sword and was a little flustered:

"Don't say these unlucky things. Hmm... How long will the senior live? I feel a little flustered when I heard this."

Shangguan Yutang calculated carefully and sighed softly:

"About 7,000 years, but no one at this level of mine dies of old age, and most of them don't live to see the day of their death."

"Seven...seven...?"

Zuo Lingquan was stunned and speechless.

The life span is determined by the soul. Zuo Lingquan's Taoism in the early stage of the Youjing realm, just started to refine the soul, and his life span is not much different from that of Old Lu at the peak of Youhuang; Old Lu would be an old man at three or four hundred years old, and if he stops, it is estimated that he will be about the same.

Compared with the life span of ordinary people, the old ancestor is only in his early twenties, which is the age of pink, tender and tight. He said sadly that he will not live long. Zuo Lingquan felt like a rich woman looking at her wallet and saying, "Oh, there are only a few hundred million left, how can I live like this!" ' Almost, I really can't empathize with him.

Shangguan Yutang saw Zuo Lingquan's expression and felt that what he said was a bit exaggerated. He put on a solemn look and said seriously:

"Only you know this matter, don't tell outsiders. If the power holder is seen through, the subordinates are likely to rebel; even if they dare not rebel, Cui Yingying will know, and there will be a knot in my heart, fearing that she will die in front of me..."

Zuo Lingquan really didn't want to talk about these life and death matters, so he changed the subject and said:

"Who is the oldest person in the world?"

"It should be Mei Jinshui. She is the Azure Dragon God's messenger, and the Azure Dragon is the main child. If nothing unexpected happens, she can live as long as the heaven and the earth, but I don't know how old she is; Shang Yin is also not young, and there is also the nine-tailed fox of the demon clan..."

"Nine-tailed fox?"

"?" Shangguan Yutang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Uh... just curious..."

"You'd better put those dirty thoughts away. The real nine-tailed fox doesn't have tails on women..."

Ancestor Shangguan thought of Jiang Yi's fox tail and froze for a rare moment.

Zuo Lingquan coughed lightly and pretended to be innocent:

"That's all nonsense from the storyteller. I've seen portraits of fox demons. They all have sharp teeth and claws and look scary..."

"Not really scary. The demon ancestor and the wolf monster actually look similar, but they are dozens of times bigger and have eight more tails..."

"Nine-tailed Samoyed?!"

"Hmm?"

...——

Guye Island is a hidden sect that does not interfere in worldly affairs. It is very impolite to rashly bring captives to the island, even if it will not cause trouble for Guye Island.

Xuan Ye, who was tied back for this reason, was imprisoned under the reef on the edge of the island by the ancestor with a phoenix fire.

Miss Qiu wanted to stand guard nearby, but the Valkyrie was chatting with Zuo Lingquan nearby, so she could not listen in, so she quietly left and wandered around the island.

The monks on the island were able to live in seclusion overseas, and their personalities were relatively withdrawn. Miss Qiu saw that no one greeted her, so she did not take the initiative to talk to her. She walked along the forest path, thinking about the analysis of the Valkyrie just now.

The Valkyrie had just tortured Xuan Ye and told her about the allusion of the "Cangsha Ancient River". It seemed that she was going to send someone to investigate.

Miss Qiu wanted to ask for permission, but she was from the old Sword God and Yang God lineage, and was not a monk under the Valkyrie, so it was difficult to say this.

If Zuo Lingquan and the others went there, she would probably have to ask the elders for permission, and as long as the elders had no problem with their brains, they would not agree to such a reckless idea, which was a bit of a headache to think about.

After Miss Qiu walked alone for a while, she gradually came to the center of the island. A low conversation came into her ears:

"You and I know about this, but you must not tell Sister Lingye..."

"Ji."

"If Mr. Zuo comes back limping later, we must comfort him well. We can't gloat over his misfortune..."

"Ji?"

...

Miss Qiu was a little confused. She came to the nearby area and took a look. She saw Xie Qiutou standing on the stone bridge with her arms folded, frowning and teaching seriously.

Tuanzi rolled around on the stone bridge railing, looking very bored.

"Qiutou."

Miss Qiu gathered her thoughts, walked slowly to the front, and asked:

"What are you talking about with Tuanzi? Is there anything you can't tell Shangguan Lingye?"

"..."

Xie Qiutao's expression froze. How could she dare to reveal such shocking gossip casually? She said with a smile:

"It's nothing. It's just that Senior Sister Qiu and Mr. Zuo went out for a night. I'm afraid Tuanzi will talk nonsense and make Sister Lingye think wrong."

"grumble?"

Miss Qiu didn't understand Tuantuan's meaning, so naturally she didn't notice anything strange. She shook her head when she heard this and said:

"Zuo Jianxian and I are working together to slay demons. Is there anything we can't let Shangguan Lingye know? If she can get jealous over this, it can only be said that she will live longer and go back."

"hehe……"

Xie Qiutao smiled sweetly. Although she had just gotten into a big disaster, she still couldn't hold back her desire to die. She glanced at the old osmanthus tree and started again:

"By the way, Senior Sister Qiu, this tree is quite interesting. Why don't you come over and take a look?"

Miss Qiu was unprepared and followed directly to the old osmanthus tree. She raised her eyes and looked at:

"It's quite beautiful. Is there anything special about it?"

"Take a closer look."

"..."

Miss Qiu frowned slightly and carefully looked at the big tree in front of her. There was nothing strange in front of her, but there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart:

Don’t bully a young girl into being poor…

Why can't I compare to Shangguan Lingye...

How could she find such a good husband...

…

A mess of thoughts lingered in my mind, as if there was something very special caught in it, but I couldn't hold it.

To see these things clearly, this tree seemed to be guiding her. Go west, and the answer would be there.

west side...

Miss Qiu turned her head and looked to the west with doubts in her eyes.

Xie Qiutao Xixi stood behind, and after waiting for a long time, asked:

"Senior Sister Qiu, who did you see?"

"What did you see?"

"It's just people, um... people who are very impressive..."

Miss Qiu didn't know why, shook her head and said with a smile:

"I'm thinking of Shangguan Lingye, what is this tree for?"

"What (ji)?!"

Xie Qiutao felt like he was struck by lightning. He felt that these words were more powerful than Zuo Lingquan's.

After all, Zuo Lingquan can still count opposites as attracting each other, so what does this mean?

Tuanzi's eyes were full of disbelief, and he was probably thinking: The wet nurse and the wet nurse are sleeping together, where will Quanquan sleep...

Miss Qiu noticed Xie Qiutao's strange eyes and frowned:

"Qiu Tao?"

"Oh..." Xie Qiutao looked strange, and even subconsciously moved away from Miss Qiu, twitching the hair hanging down by her ears:

"Well...this laurel tree is used by the monks on the island to see their sweethearts, so what..."

Miss Qiu's face darkened.

Then Miss Qiu flicked her wrist, took out a ruler used to teach disciples, and slapped Xie Qiutao's buttocks.

bang bang bang

"Ah! Senior Sister Qiu, I was wrong. I was just kidding. This tree is not accurate at all...Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong..."

…

Under the setting sun, a tall fairy dressed in white as snow, holding a ruler, chased and beat the round-faced little girl fiercely.

The fluffy white dumpling trotted behind him happily and cheered, but in a moment, the two of them disappeared among the tree-lined paths...——

Posuzhou, Shuanghua City.

There was a lot of construction work in the city to reconstruct various formations, smoke and dust were everywhere, people from the right path came from the east from time to time, and there were also monks patrolling the wilderness.

Next to the Linhai Port, there is a mountain ridge with a seven-story Guanlan Tower built on it. It is the lighthouse of the Shuanghua City Port and the location of the Alien Heavenly Escape Tower Mother Formation.

At dusk, Wu Qingwan and Jiang Yi stood side by side by the fence outside Guanlan Tower.

Jiang Yi and Xiao Lengzhu looked at the endless sea with a bit of worry in their eyes. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they were definitely worried about the safety of Zuo Lingquan and others.

Wu Qingwan was also worried, but she didn't want Jiang Yi to look anxious, so she didn't look at the sea, but focused on the seven-story building behind her.

The Sky Escape Tower is expensive to build and has very high technical requirements. It is considered a strategic material.

When two sects are at war, as long as the opponent's Heavenly Escape Tower is occupied or destroyed, the war will basically be declared over; because there is no contact with the Heavenly Escape Tower, the monks in the sect cannot ask for help from the outside world, and the disciples outside are blinded and dare not come back at all.

The same is true for the battle between good and evil. After defeating Shuanghua City, the first thing to do is to crack the mother formation of the Tianduan Tower and replace it with the formation of the right path. Only in this way can we remove the eyes of the aliens and establish contact with Wangchuan City.

The Heavenly Escape Tower is one of the masterpieces of the art of weapon refining. Each one is made by everyone. It was only conquered yesterday. It is not that easy to crack it in a short time. There are currently more than a dozen weapon refiners walking up and down the tall building, studying the complicated Array to the extreme.

As for the high-level monks who needed to contact the sect, without signal, they could only wait under the tower to help with suggestions so that communications could be restored as soon as possible.

Cui Yingying stood below and said from time to time:

"Xiao Lu, do you see the seven points under the cornice? They represent Rigel. You can use the star diagram to deduce and see if you can find the method..."

Shangguan Lingye was not a weapon refiner, so he didn't dare to point out these things easily. Seeing that Cui Yingying volunteered to take command, but it still had no effect for a long time, he reminded in a low voice:

"Senior Taohua, you are a doctor. If you are not sure, don't interfere with the formation master's work..."

"Lingye, I am about the same age as your master. I have already studied these things thoroughly. It just takes some time to try. I must know more than them..."

…

Wu Qingwan watched from a distance, shaking her head secretly, and agreed with Lingye's statement that everyone has their own strengths, and weapon refining is not much simpler than martial arts or swordsmanship. The ancestors on the mountain may know a little bit about everything, but it is easy for those who know how to do it. It’s hard to be good.

No matter how powerful the ordinary monks are, they are only proficient in the art of refining weapons. However, the requirement for a real refining master is to "draw inferences from one example" and be able to use the knowledge they have learned to create something that does not exist before and be original. It is easy for an outsider to instruct an expert to interfere with the refining process. The craftsman's thoughts.

Wu Qingwan is also a half-hearted weapon refiner. When she was a child, she often discussed with her second uncle, and she remembered a truth: Magical weapons and formations in the world already exist between heaven and earth, and there are traces to follow; all people have to do is to discover them, and It's not an invention, so you can't just copy the ideas of predecessors, you have to explore and adapt by yourself.

To put it simply, it means learning and applying it, not rigidly adhering to dogma.

Wu Qingwan was watching from below, and she could actually see a few small tricks, but even the Immortal-level weapon refiners didn't dare to mess around. Sister Yingying was trained by Ling Ye when she spoke, so she naturally didn't dare to speak randomly and command the people above. The fairy is always trial and error.

After watching it for a moment, I don't know whether the weapon refiner accidentally touched the formation on the tower, or it was something else, but the plaque on the top floor of Guanlan Tower suddenly flashed with light.

The weapon refiners outside the high-rise building reacted very quickly. The leader, the monk surnamed Lu, raised his hand and waved his sleeves, smashed the plaque with a slap, and angrily said:

"Who triggered the trap?"

The weapon refiners inside and outside the high-rise building all responded somewhat innocently:

"I didn't touch it..."

"Yes, it all follows the rules. The array on the top of the tower seems to be activating and operating on its own..."

"Are you kidding me? How can the formation diagram activate on its own if no one touches it?"

…

Jiang Yi heard the movement, turned around and asked curiously:

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

Wu Qingwan didn't know what was going on. She looked at the broken plaque and whispered:

"That plaque should be an object similar to the moon in the water. It can monitor the movements of the entire Frost Flower City from a long distance. It was triggered just now. It is possible for the foreigners to use this to judge the deployment of combat power in Frost Flower City."

"Oh...why are you so careless?"

"The time is very short, it is true, and I can't see anything..."

……——

On the other side of the sky, within a harbor.

The nine-story tower shines faintly under the sky.

In the observatory at the top of the tower, eight water curtains are suspended according to the direction.

Lei Hongliang stood in the center, looking at the frozen scene on the water curtain, and said:

"I have already said that the righteous weapon refiner is not stupid. How can you be watched from thousands of miles away... There are quite a lot of people. This guy who blows his beard and glares at others seems to be Lu Zhixing from Tiandi City. I have seen him once before. What he is good at is his unique skill, which is making "thousand tool machines".

"It is rumored that this bed can enable men and women to perform seven or forty-nine dual cultivation methods without moving. It is very powerful, but it is too harmful to the essence. People give it the nickname 'Medicine Dregs Bed', 'Juicer' and 'Fairy'" "Happy Bed", the tough guy on the mountain goes in and the soft-footed loach comes out. It is said that the Emperor Zhao didn't even survive a round, and he almost expelled Lu Zhixing from the school afterwards..."

This person can be regarded as Lei Hongliang's fellow teacher. Although Lei Hongliang has been expelled from the school long ago, he is still very familiar with the secret skills among these weapon refiners.

It's a pity that Lei Hongliang talked to himself for a long time, and no one else responded. He turned to look at Wu Zunyi and asked:

"Zunyi?"

Wu Zunyi looked at the hundreds of men and women below the tower. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand to sweep away the picture in the water curtain and said calmly:

"Thousands of machine tools are nothing, they are just trivial skills."

"Oh? Can you still build a 'Ten Thousand Tool Machine'? You do have the ability, but no one dares to use it. Even Shang Laomo may not be able to bear it."

"That's not necessarily the case. Go say hello to Shang Laomo and tell him that I'm going to make him a big guy and ask him if he dares to let me go."

"Shang Lao Mo is eager for you to build something to deal with him, but I'm afraid you won't move. I'm going to say hello right now. After the observatory is built, I'm worried about having nothing to do. Let's let Shang Lao Mo open his eyes this time and take a look. Our ‘Double Saint Hands of Dongzhou’ are so powerful!”

"..."

Wu Zunyi hesitated to speak and nodded...
