Too Reckless

"Too reckless (

Linyuan City was located in the middle of the Dayan Dynasty and was named after the "Luohunyuan" near the capital.

Luohunyuan is a large rift valley, the narrowest part is less than half a mile, and the widest part has become a basin. It is the lord of the south who broke free from the shackles of heaven, the 'stealing pill'.

With the concerted efforts of the Quan Yuyaozhou cultivators, the world-destroying natural disaster has long since been quelled, and Luohunyuan has also stabilized, turning into a secret realm similar to the barren mountains; although the magic weapon and immortal soldiers left in the war have long been sacked by the nine sects. , but there will always be two left behind, waiting for the good master in some places that the predecessors have not set foot in, attracting cultivators from all over the world.

Luohunyuan is too long. The location of Linyuan City is in the middle of Luohunyuan, and it is still hundreds of miles away from the rift. There are many beasts and spirit beasts in Luohunyuan. The Dayan Dynasty is in the capital and Luohunyuan. A checkpoint was built in between, people were forbidden to set foot in to avoid accidents, and only those who practiced could enter. The name of the checkpoint became 'Linyuangang' over time.

Compared with Linyuan Harbor, where immortals are flying all over the sky, Linyuan City, which is not too far away, looks much calmer. Except for its huge scale, it is no different from a mortal city.

There are 108 square markets in Linyuan City. There are eight main streets running through the whole city, about 16 feet wide, and 3,000 willows are planted along the banks. Imperial City.

The huge city has a population of no less than one million. Whenever the sunset sinks into the mountains and the lights of thousands of houses light up, Linyuan City is like a giant beast entrenched in the vast world - the intertwined streets and alleys are the blood vessels of the giant beast, and the river flows endlessly. Pedestrians are the blood of a giant beast, and the heart of this giant beast is the Imperial City of Dayan at the top of the mortal world.

At the end of Qinglong Street, layers of pavilions and palaces form the largest imperial city in the entire Yuyao Continent.

On the east side of the imperial city, there is also a smaller palace city called Xingyan Palace. It was originally the site of the Dayan Imperial City before it was expanded, and was later changed to the East Palace. Today, the immortals and mortals in the imperial capital generally refer to this place as the palace. 'Taifei Palace' or 'Taifei Palace', the 'Second Sage' of the Dayan Dynasty, the imperial concubine Shangguan Lingye, lived here.

Although it is the former site of the imperial city, the scale of the Toffee Palace is still very large. Without the various internal affairs agencies of the imperial city, there is only one person living there, making the large Miyagi look rare and only lit up with lights.

On the branches of the moon, in the hall in the middle of the Toffee Palace, there are four giant pillars with coiled dragons supporting the splendid dome.

A beautiful woman in palace attire sat on the soft carved couch in the center of the hall, looking through the bead curtain in front of her, looking at Mount Yinheng, which could not be seen at the end of her field of vision.

The beautiful woman in the palace dress can't tell her age from her appearance. The long black hair hangs down from her shoulders and is draped over the gorgeous palace skirt. Tied up, wearing a golden bead hairpin on her head, she looks elegant and splendid, and looks like she is just a secular noble concubine who is indescribably glamorous.

But the eyes of beautiful women in palace dress are different from those of mortal women. They don't have the slightest fireworks. Between the clear eyes, they seem to contain a vast sea of ​​stars, empty and lonely, as if looking at all kinds of people in front of them from above the nine heavens. It's close at hand, but it feels like thousands of miles away.

This look is very similar to the woman in the golden skirt at the top of Mount Yinheng, but if someone looks closely, you can see the difference between the two - the woman in the golden skirt at Mount Yinheng has the sea of ​​stars in the sky and the mountains and rivers under her feet; and the eyes of the beauty in the palace dress, Only the vastness of the sky can be seen, but there is no thickness of the earth.

It's a pity that very few people in the world can see these two women at the same time, and no one can put two detached women side by side to watch and play, and naturally no one notices this.

The clear and beautiful eyes that imply the Milky Way make the beautiful woman in the palace dress in the imperial city, but isolated from the mortal world. Against the background of the palace lanterns at the corners of the eaves, she looks like a pear blossom among the three thousand palace pavilions.

This innate appearance, coupled with the makeup of the noble concubine of the world, is like a fairy above the nine heavens accidentally falling into the world, and there is a bit of desolation in the cage.

The beautiful woman in the palace dress is Shangguan Lingye, who is also the master of this imperial concubine palace. The reason why she was called the 'Second Sage' was not because of the detached background of the Iron Arrow Mansion, but because of her hard work and great seniority, she got such an honorary title.

Shangguan Lingye has lived in this palace city for 80 years, and has experienced three emperors successively. The current Emperor Dayan has to call her grandma.

Eighty years is a very long time for practitioners.

Shangguan Lingye was the young master of the Iron Arrow Mansion back then. At that time, she had a special title called 'Little Shangguan', and everyone in the whole world regarded her as the heir to the ancestor of Shangguan, even herself.

But suddenly one day, the person sitting on the top of Mount Yinheng threw her a secular marriage certificate and asked her to enter the palace as the concubine of the Emperor of the Dayan Dynasty, without any reason, and even never showed up in person.

Shangguan Lingye felt that the ancestors arranged this way, and he must have a deep meaning. He left the Iron Arrow Mansion and entered this huge cage.

This time, it is eighty years.

In the 80 years of spring and autumn, Shangguan Lingye watched his titular husband, from being in his prime, becoming old, and finally dying on the sickbed; then to the new monarch, repeating the same cycle of life and death; and then again. Watching the babbling child become the monarch who reigns over thousands of miles of mountains and rivers again, life and death seem to have no end.

And she stayed in this mortal city, dealing with unimportant mortal and mundane things all day; practicing one way is like sailing on land, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Zong's core figure; watching round after round of newcomers, catching up from behind and walking in front of her.

For 80 years, Shangguan Lingye was confident that she could reach the top of the world, even in front of her ancestors, but she stayed in a worldly cage like this for 80 years.

Shangguan Lingye thought at first that the ancestor was sharpening her, but after 80 years, no matter how good the jade is, it has also been worn away. What is the point of such sharpening?

…

There were no palace servants in the hall, only a few bronze cranes burning with incense. On the side of the incense table, there was a portrait of a woman in a golden dress, burning three sticks of incense.

The silent silence lasted for an unknown period of time. A water curtain slowly emerged from outside the bead curtain, and gradually condensed into a picture - on the vast river, the ferry was galloping against the current, and at the top of the boat building, there was a burly bearded man squatting. man.

"Master? Can you see it? Hello?"

A rough voice echoed in the hall.

The beautiful woman in the palace dress put away her mind and leaned on the soft couch. Her soft but cold voice came out of the jade bead curtain:

"how?"

Situ, who was behind the water curtain, was shocked, crouched behind the emblem of the Covering Moon Sect at the top of the ferry, and carefully looked around:

"The young mansion master has already boarded the boat, and he will arrive at Linyuan City in ten days. The mortal girl incarnated by the ancestor has always been in front of him, not leaving an inch. I didn't want to take a boat, but if I don't take this boat, the next one I have to wait for half a month, I don’t know if the ancestor found out that I didn’t…”

The beautiful woman in the palace dress raised her hand gently, the water curtain dissipated in the palace, and the dead silence of the past was restored.

She got up from the soft couch, opened the bead curtain, came to the picture scroll with three sticks of incense burning, and looked up at the woman above. In the clear eyes, the emotions are constantly changing, and occasionally there are negative emotions such as anger and dissatisfaction, which are not concealed. After all, the people in the picture scroll have not seen her for many years, and may have long forgotten her.

She didn't understand how the ancestor who lived above the nine heavens and was almost omnipotent in the past, how could he choose such an ordinary mortal to become the Qingkui of the Iron Arrow Mansion, and he even sacrificed his status to protect that person in person.

She didn't see any strengths in that person better than her. The only bright spot from the beginning to the end might be the ability to 'sword one'.

But this bright spot is a thousand miles away from what she was back then; she was born as a fairy, and she has been different from ordinary people since birth. There are only things she doesn't want to do, and there is nothing she can't do. If she takes kendo , will not be half a point worse than that common man, and even do better than him.

But the old ancestor just chose the person and put her in the deep palace of this world for 80 years; she was not convinced, but she was not even qualified to talk to the old ancestor...

The beautiful woman in palace dress stood in front of the portrait for a long time, her eyes changed with emotions, and finally she couldn't hold back and asked:

"In what point is that wild boy from the Southern Wilderness better than me?"

There was silence in the hall, with a tone of indignation and injustice, but it was as if a person was talking to himself when he was alone.

After not getting a response for a long time, the beautiful woman in the palace dress raised her hand and pulled out three sticks of incense from the incense altar that had been worshipped for decades, and smashed it on the portrait of the woman in the golden skirt:

"I have been in Linyuan City for 80 years. I have been conscientiously assisting the king and supervising courtiers. I have never slacked off a day, and have never done or missed a thing. What am I doing wrong?"

"You locked me up here for eighty years, at least give me an explanation, what did I do wrong?! I am also your apprentice, why do you treat me like this?"

"I know, you are afraid of me, you are afraid that I will surpass you and take your place, so you banish me to the mortal world, right?"

"Please speak!"

…

The gradually hysterical speech was a one-man show from beginning to end, and the only thing that could be heard by the beautiful woman in the palace dress was the shadow drawn far away on the ground under the illumination of the palace lantern.

Shadow's shoulders were shaking slightly.

The beautiful woman in the palace dress clenched her hands tightly, her eyes were red, and after staring at the portrait woman for a long time, she picked up the incense altar and smashed it.

dong dong—

The copper incense altar bounced a few times in the main hall, making a few muffled sounds.

The beautiful woman in palace dress tried her best to restrain her emotions, but she couldn't restrain the grievance and injustice in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said:

"Okay, if you cut me off, I won't let others live well. Believe it or not, I'll take that kid..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Even if the woman on the portrait didn't respond, it was just a dead thing, and the beautiful woman in the palace dress didn't dare to say the angry words behind.

Because she knew that the person would definitely hear it, but he just didn't want to respond to her.

Gollum —

The incense burner rolled around several times, and finally stopped in the center of the hall.

The beautiful woman in the palace dress stood blankly for a long time, waiting for the portrait to respond, even if it was a scolding.

Unfortunately, the results were the same as in previous decades.

As time passed, the mood of the beautiful woman in the palace dress gradually calmed down.

She took a breath, turned around and picked up the incense burner, put it under the portrait again, took another three sticks of incense, lit it and inserted it into it.

When the green smoke lit up, the beautiful woman in the palace dress returned to the graceful and luxurious concubine just now, and she bowed earnestly:

"The disciple lost his temper, please don't blame the master."

But this sentence is also just said to myself...
