The fairy is fierce

"The snake gall has been packed for the immortal. The immortal is not a mediocre person. If you have a furnace of good-looking pills, but it is not convenient to sell them in person, you can come to the shop..."

"No problem, let's go.

"Hey, take care..."

...

In the Jiugong Mountain market, an unremarkable old man walked out of the medicine shop carrying a box of medicinal materials. After walking a distance on the bustling street, he turned into an alley, put the medicinal materials into the Linglong Pavilion, and flew towards the southwest border.

Not far from Jiugong Mountain, the old man looked down at the official road on the ground. There were many people walking, including a round-faced girl and a handsome young man.

Although he didn't know them, the old man felt that the two young people's Taoism seemed to be concealed, and they didn't seem to be simple disciples of a small sect.

But being in a foreign country, the old man didn't pay attention to it. I thought, and after flying over, I didn't pay attention to it anymore.

The old man's name is Shen Changlin. People in Beishuzhou gave him the honorific title of "Yanwangchou". He is a doctor by profession and has a good reputation.

However, the essence of cultivation is that the strong are respected. The status of weapon refiners and doctors depends only on whether they need them. Those who can't count on them will not take them seriously, so their reputation will naturally not spread outside.

This is like Shen Changlin's senior sister who has never met. In Dongzhou, she is a respected master and no one dares to provoke her. Even the female warrior dares to contradict her, but when she goes outside, she becomes a paper tiger and can't even suppress the ancestor of a small sect.

Shen Changlin ran to Kuibingzhou, of course, not to buy snake gall and refine the "Longyang Immortal Pill" to honor his master...

Although Shen Changlin also felt that his master's single life was not in line with the law of heaven, as a disciple, how dare he urge his master to get married, and he didn't think it was necessary People can be paired with the master.

In terms of seniority, the master is one generation older than the Valkyrie, and in terms of age, everyone is his grandson. The only human cultivator of the same age in the world is probably the old man Shang Yin; even if the master does not dislike Shang Yin, it is awkward for him to be a disciple, so it is better for him to be single.

Shen Changlin came here just by chance, and was invited by the Red Crow Star Lord Xun Mingzhang to get acupuncture. By the way, he went to the Cangsha Ancient River to deliver a letter to an old acquaintance.

Shen Changlin rode the wind and flew southwest for about a thousand miles of mountains and rivers, and gradually arrived at the periphery of the Cangsha Ancient River.

The Cangsha Ancient River sounds mysterious, but the actual meaning is very straightforward, that is, an ancient river with a lot of white sand.

The Cangsha Ancient River used to be very large, with the narrowest point being several miles long. There were many old sites of large lakes along the river, extending all the way to the estuary on the southern coast; but now the river is hard to see It's water. From the sky, it's just a dry river extending north and south from the ground.

As soon as Shen Changlin approached the Cangsha Ancient River, a cultivator flew up from the mountains and came to check. After taking out the waist badge of Xiangyang City, he successfully entered it. Under the guidance of the cultivator, he came to a large lake in the middle of the ancient river.

Although the river has long been dry, the large lake in the middle of the river has running water. The lake surface of dozens of miles is surrounded by formations. There are many aquatic spirit beasts in it. There are people walking and taking care of the lakeside. Many buildings have been built on the beautiful lakeshore.

Shen Changlin landed by the lake and soon came to a manor by the lake. When he entered the door, he saw a cute mainland tortoise lying in the yard. It was nearly two feet long and as big as a hill; several young disciples were wiping the earthy yellow tortoise shell with brushes, and there was a person standing in front feeding fruit.

"Oh, I haven't seen Brother Turtle for so many years. You have learned to enjoy life."

"Yeah..."

Shen Chang walked up to the land turtle, took out the snake gallbladder he bought at the medicine shop, threw it into the mouth of the land turtle, touched its head, and then entered the main hall of the manor.

In the main hall, a woman with a bun came out after hearing the voice. She walked quickly and raised her hand to greet him:

"Fellow Daoist Shen has come from afar. I didn't go out to greet you. Please..."

"Oh, you're welcome."

Shen Changlin sat down next to the tea table, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to the familiar woman:

"I'm just running errands. We've known each other for so many years. Not only can I not help you, but I've only come to visit you once in many years. I should be the one to say sorry."

The woman took the letter and put it directly into her sleeve, asking:

"Did Mei Xianjun come here too? I see some new faces over at Qinglong Lake. A scholar named Hou Shuyu has been here once..."

"No one can tell what the master is doing.

Shen Changlin said this, shook his head and sighed: "Some things, if we know too much, we will be anxious. It's better not to know. You should read the letter. "

The woman sighed when she saw this.

The two chatted for a long time, and there was a noise outside the main hall again. A little girl about eleven or twelve years old ran in, holding a tortoise shell in her hand:

"Master, Senior Brother Han found a tortoise shell outside. I haven't seen it before. Please take a look~"

Shen Changlin glanced at the tortoise shell, slightly surprised, and smiled:

"Just now in Jiugong Mountain, I saw this tortoise shell. A little girl was buying it and bargaining with the stall owner. She was very good at talking, but I didn't expect that she didn't buy it in the end."

"Really?"

The woman took the tortoise shell and looked at it for a few times, and nodded slightly: "The tortoise shell of the double-pupiled Bixi is indeed rare... Have you asked where it came from? "

"Senior Brother Han forgot to ask..."

"Oh..."

The sky gradually darkened.

Outside the Cangsha Ancient River, there were hundreds of miles of desolate mountains and uninhabited ridges. As soon as the sun set, the cries of unknown birds could be heard in the mountains and forests:

"Woo...Woo..."

A group of monks flew through the dense forest with swords, and soon there were secret sentries rising from the dense forest to intercept and investigate. The defense was extremely tight.

Zuo Lingquan stood under a pine tree. Seeing this scene from a distance, he couldn't help but frown secretly.

Xie Qiutao stood behind Zuo Lingquan, his face a little dazed, but it was much better than at the market. He suppressed his emotions deeply and just looked at the mountains in the distance silently.

Zuo Lingquan looked at it for a long time. The group of monks he was following gradually disappeared into the barren mountains. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said:

"The defense is too tight. There are probably hidden sentries and warning formations inside the mountain, making it difficult to enter."

Xie Qiutao nodded lightly without saying anything.

Zuo Lingquan sighed secretly and raised his hand to smooth Qiutao's hair beside her ears:

"Don't be so anxious. If you can find the Xuanwu Terrace sign, it means your parents are fine. This is a good thing..."

Xie Qiutao pursed her lips, with some mist in her eyes, and whispered:

"No."

"Um?"

"My parents will not collude with evil heretics, let alone pass on their family knowledge to evil heretics... That person just now must have used vicious tricks to steal my parents' inheritance, or he must have pretended to be someone else..."

Xie Qiutao's voice became softer and quieter. By the end of the sentence, he was so distraught that he couldn't bear it anymore and was about to cry.

Zuo Lingquan shook his head, opened his arms, took Qiutao, who was only as high as his shoulders, into his arms and gently stroked her back:

"Okay, as long as people are still here, there are infinite possibilities. It's too early to draw conclusions now. When Miss Qiu comes, we can discuss and find a way. It would be bad if Miss Qiu sees her crying..."

"Um……"

At this moment, Xie Qiutao couldn't help but blush. She raised her hand slightly, and finally put it down. She rested her forehead on Zuo Lingquan's chest and remained silent.

Zuo Lingquan had no intention of taking advantage. He put his cheek against Qiu Tao's hair and comforted her softly. After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Miss Qiu touched her from behind.

Miss Qiu and Jingxun kept a distance and followed behind. At this time, they were extremely careful and walked a few feet away from the two of them before revealing their figures.

Tang Jingxuan only knew that Zuo Lingquan and Qiu Tao were following a group of people, but did not know the specific reason. Seeing the two hugging each other, he was a little surprised:

"Xiao Zuo, Qiu Tao..."

"grumble?"

The dumpling flew onto Zuo Lingquan's arm, his head slipped into the gap between their bodies, and he glanced up at Qiutao's face.

Zuo Lingquan made a shushing gesture, came up to him, and explained what he had just seen and guessed.

Miss Qiu knew Qiutao's life experience. She frowned when she heard this and turned to look at the mountains and fields:

"It's just a sign. It doesn't mean anything. Let's find a way to get in first."

Zuo Lingquan was a bit confused: "The defense is too tight. There are countless warning formations hidden in the mountain. Qiu Tao will definitely not be able to find them all. I don't know much about them either. Are you confident about sneaking in?"

Miss Qiu had learned formations, but as a sword cultivator, she had only scratched the surface. She didn't think she could silently enter a forbidden area that was strictly guarded by aliens. She thought for a moment and then looked at Tuanzi.

Zuo Lingquan shook his head: "If Tuanzi pretends to be an ordinary bird, he won't be suspected at most. If he flies in with swagger, something might happen."

Tang Jingxuan looked at the two people with their brows furrowed and could not help. The first thing that came to his mind must be the good wife, so he said:

"How about asking my mother-in-law?"

Zuo Lingquan had no objection to this proposal and nodded.

When Tang Jingxuan saw this, he began to be stunned silently.

But after a moment, golden light appeared in Tang Jingxuan's eyes, and his aura began to change.

When Xie Qiutao saw his ancestor coming directly, he quickly got out of Zuo Lingquan's arms, touched his face, and tried his best to look calm.

Miss Qiu also showed some respect, raised her hand and saluted:

"Senior Shangguan."

After Shangguan Yutang came over, he nodded slightly to Miss Qiu, and then walked directly to the deep mountains and dense forests:

"This place is too well guarded. You can't get in on your own. I'll go in front and you will follow behind. If anything happens, retreat immediately and don't worry about me."

Don't worry about you? Zuo Lingquan secretly thought: You are my wife... No, this is my wife's body, how could I not care...

Zuo Lingquan hesitated for a moment and followed him:

"Senior and I will come together, so we can take care of you if anything happens."

Shangguan Yutang did not refuse, but carefully paid attention to the clues in the mountains and fields.

Miss Qiu didn't say much when she saw this, and watched the two of them go away until they reached a safe distance. After the ancestor hooked her hand slightly, she took Qiutao's wrist and followed her silently...——

The moon was on the branches, and it was late at night before I knew it.

Zuo Lingquan concealed his aura, only a short distance away from his ancestor, and slowly moved in between the mountains and fields.

A few people came to Cangsha Ancient River to investigate what the Youying alien tribe was brewing. They couldn't alert the enemy, so they couldn't even remove the hidden whistles on the road. They could only go around them and move forward at an extremely slow speed.

Fortunately, Shangguan Yutang has an amazing experience. She has been through all kinds of storms and waves, and there is almost no formation mechanism that can hide her from her. The journey has been smooth and there have been no mistakes. When they reach certain safe areas, they can even communicate with each other. sentence.

This kind of investigation mission has nothing to do with talent and understanding, and relies purely on past experience.

Although Zuo Lingquan knew that his ancestor was very powerful, when he saw her walking in the back garden, he was still a little surprised and took the opportunity to ask:

"Senior, when you traveled before, did you often do this kind of thing where you were alone and in danger?"

"Wealth can be found in danger. If we don't take risks, will opportunities fall into our hands out of thin air?"

"Senior, has anything ever gone wrong?"

"..."

Naturally, Shangguan Yutang had his share of mistakes, many of them.

I was selling materials at the auction house in Nanyu Island. I was deceived and almost got caught by a casual cultivator and sold him.

In Huajunzhou, he used the banner of tiger skin and claimed to be the disciple of 'Shangguan Tianba', but in the end he made his opponent laugh half to death.

In Kui Bingzhou, he helped Shishi Sword Manor steal back the sword that had been snatched away by the Xian family. He pulled out the sword out of curiosity, but the noise was too loud and the ancestor blocked the door.

Wandering around Beishouzhou, I accidentally wandered into the city of the demon tribe, and was forced to disguise myself as a snake spirit, pretending to be sisters with the little female dragon.

In Yuyaozhou, he was not afraid of power, but he did not plant plum blossoms at the door, and even beat up the people who made trouble. As a result, the person in charge at the time, Mei Jinshui, came to his door...

If we were to break down every bit of the past, I would probably be able to write several dangerous biographies of mortals cultivating immortality.

But how could Shangguan Yutang tell others these embarrassing things that ruined the image of the Valkyrie and made even her unable to look back?

"If something had gone wrong, how could I have made it this far?" Shangguan Yutang's expression was calm, but he was full of strength: "There is no such thing as a foolproof in practice."

It was not that Zuo Lingquan didn't believe this, but he thought about it and said: "To be foolproof, you have to be prudent and cautious, but the ancestor's behavior is to move forward without retreating. This is both reckless and steady... It feels a bit conflicting. "

"Advance without retreat does not mean that you have to jump forward even if there is a pit ahead, but you must find a way to cross it no matter what, and you cannot stop or even give up halfway. Recklessness lies in the purpose, and you must kill whoever you say you want to kill; stability lies in the process, If you can't beat him head-on, you can assassinate him, do you understand?"

"Enlightenment, sudden enlightenment..."

…

The two people talked nonsense all the way and moved forward carefully. It took about two hours to pass through more than a hundred miles of barren mountains and ridges and arrived at the edge of the ancient river.

After entering the interior, the level of defense dropped significantly, and people began to appear on the river.

Shangguan Yutang walked along the river, observed the excavation traces in the ancient river, and said:

"Judging from the digging place, the Youying alien race should be looking for the source of the spiritual veins of the Cangsha Ancient River. The Cangsha Ancient River gave birth to an immortal emperor, and the source of the five elements must be of the highest rank in the world. I just don't know that the alien race is here. Sneaky, do you want to restore this river, or do you want to take away the remaining source of the Five Elements? "

Zuo Lingquan looked at the ancient river channel full of river sand and said doubtfully:

“There’s not a drop of water in this river, so it’s not completely dead yet?”

"The essence of a river is a channel, not water. If there is no river water now, there will be no rain. If a river that reaches tens of thousands of miles into the sea is to completely die, it will take tens of millions of years. Don't look at the world with the perspective of a living being. Creation.”

After Shangguan Yutang explained a few words, he walked along the river to the source of the upper reaches, hoping to find the lone monks and try to extract valuable information.

However, the interior of the Cangsha Ancient River is too desolate. The monks who still appear in the river at night are all groups transporting things or exploring and collecting teams. If you arrest people rashly, you may be noticed, and there has been no suitable target.

Zuo Lingquan followed for hundreds of miles until he reached a river bend and found a target that seemed suitable.

There is nothing in the river bend. The river sand carried by the wind has accumulated on one side of the river bend, forming a sand slope. The silver moonlight shines on it like a snowdrift.

Above the sandy slope is the stone wall on the river bank. There is a woman in a dark blue skirt sitting on the edge of the stone cliff, holding a piece of paper in her hand and looking at it carefully, a little distracted.

But only two miles away from the woman, there was a large lake with brightly lit shores, and the formation streamers could be seen on the lake.

Shangguan Yutang paused, frowned slightly, and looked at the big lake in the distance:

"That's one of the sources of the five elements. Judging from the structure of the formation, it belongs to water. This woman is of high moral character and must know the inside story."

Zuo Lingquan took out his sword and held it in his hand, and asked:

"Go and kidnap her?"

After Shangguan Yutang observed the surrounding situation, he walked forward:

"Be ruthless, make sure you hit it in one blow, and don't make any noise."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly, hiding his voice, and quietly touched the mountains and fields outside the river bend with Yutang. After making sure that no one was paying attention around him, he slowly approached the woman sitting on the riverside.

With Zuo Lingquan's eyesight, he could tell that this woman was not of low moral character, but she didn't know what she was looking at. Not only was she unwary, but she was even a little distracted. As she got closer, she could even hear laughter and sighs.

From these circumstances, Zuo Lingquan could roughly infer that this was a woman who sneaked out to read love letters late at night, so there must be no one around to watch. After all, no one would giggle while reading a love letter in front of outsiders.

Thinking of this, Zuo Lingquan did not hesitate anymore. After the two of them reached a distance of more than ten feet, they took advantage of the other's distraction and broke out at the same time, rushing behind the woman in an instant.

The woman's reaction was not beyond Zuo Lingquan's expectations.

Maybe she was distracted, or maybe she didn't expect that she would be attacked from the dark inside the Cangsha Ancient River. The woman just moved her ears slightly, and was caught by Shangguan Yutang with the force of a tiger. She didn't even think about it. Any countermeasures can be taken.

Shangguan Yutang's method of binding people is extremely sophisticated. The moment he got close, his fingers were on Fengfu point, locking the flow of Qi and blood. At the same time, he covered the woman's mouth with his right hand, and twisted the woman's arm with his left hand, holding her down. Lying on the ground.

Zuo Lingquan grabbed the controlling woman's right wrist, inserted the Xuanming Sword in front of the woman, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't move!"

"Woooo..."

Zuo Lingquan originally thought that this woman would look frightened or panicked.

But what surprised him was that the first thing that appeared on the face of the restrained woman was shame, anger and wariness.

Although I couldn't understand what the other party was saying, I could guess that he was saying "Bold, do you know who I am?".

Obviously, the other party regarded him and Shangguan Yutang as alien monks who came to rob her in the middle of the night.

Shangguan Yutang pressed on the woman's back with the posture of Wu Song fighting a tiger, and said coldly:

"Be honest, I'm a woman."

Zuo Lingquan didn't want to be regarded as a prostitute, so he said with a cold expression:

"I just want to ask something, you don't want to suffer...suffering..."

Before Zuo Lingquan finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze.

In the woman's right hand, she held a letter.

While Zuo Lingquan was speaking, he saw from the corner of his eye a line of small words in the corner: "Xiao Tao is fine. Now I have found the person I love, named Zuo Lingquan. He is an outstanding young man. He was not merciless at all when he stabbed my father-in-law..."

Xiaotao...

father in law……

…

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused, feeling that the direction of things was beyond his superficial control!

Shangguan Yutang noticed that Zuo Lingquan's breath was fluctuating abnormally, and thought something was wrong. Out of caution, he pressed his hand a little harder, causing the woman to frown and flatten her breasts.

But before Shangguan Yutang noticed anything strange around him, he noticed that Zuo Lingquan's eyes were horrified. He released his sword hilt and hugged her, pulled her away, and yelled urgently:

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't, don't, don't..."

Zuo Lingquan's method of hugging women was very sophisticated. He always hugged the chest directly and grasped a certain bulging point.

Shangguan Yutang was caught off guard and was pinched in pain. There was a rare look of shock in her eyes. She couldn't free her hands and feet while the person was being tied up, so she could only glare angrily:

"Are you out of your mind?"

"No, no, it's all a misunderstanding, one of our own..."? ?

One of our own? !

Shangguan Yutang was stunned.

The woman was almost stunned. She was pressed down for no reason and she couldn't breathe. Before she could understand the situation, the two lunatics behind her said they were her own. She really couldn't figure out what these two people were doing.

After Zuo Lingquan realized who this woman was who was reading family letters outside in the middle of the night, how could he dare to continue kidnapping? Qiu Tao would have nothing to do with him if he was not polite.

Zuo Lingquan was so anxious that he hugged his ancestor and wanted her not to be too harsh. At the same time, he said kindly:

"Thank you, Auntie, don't get excited..."

When Shangguan Yutang heard 'Auntie Xie', he already realized who this woman might be.

But so what?

Who is not a mother-in-law?

Shangguan Yutang did not let go. Seeing Zuo Lingquan's incoherent words, he was a little frightened and said in a deep voice:

"Let go and I'll talk to her."

In fact, there is no need for the ancestor to explain it himself, because the woman has already become honest.

The woman was being held down tightly. Before she could figure out the situation, she saw from the corner of her eye not far away a woman dressed in white, holding a round-faced girl in her arms and covering her mouth with her hands, walking towards her.

The round-faced girl was very excited. She was hugged tightly and covered her mouth. Her whole body was still trembling. Her big eyes were full of water mist, staring straight at her. Even though she hadn't seen her for many years, she could still see everything in the girl's eyes. emotions...
