Too Reckless

  Chapter 223 Not my race, its heart must be different

   Zuo Lingquan closed the door, came to the corridor on the side of the cruise ship, and looked at the night view of the Spring River.

   The moon is setting and the stars are sparse, and there are few lights on both sides of the river. Except for the dark earth, there is not much to see.

Zuo Lingquan didn't dare to go back to chat with the grandmother of the concubine Bingzhu because the daughters-in-law were stalking him. He blew the cold wind alone for a while. He wanted to chat with Jiang Yi, who was helping the concubine to review the files, but he heard a call from the painting boat. A few chats:

   "Who is playing cotton?"

   "Is there?... It seems to be true, at Lingquan's side..."

  …

   Zuo Lingquan was stunned for a moment, and then he listened carefully, only to find that the tune of "dangdang~" echoed faintly on the cruise ship.

   He just thought that the musicians on the painting boat were playing music, but only then did he realize that the bullets of this song were not very distracting.

Zuo Lingquan walked along the veranda for a while, came to Xie Qiutao's window, and looked up - a petite girl, lying on the tea couch with her pipa in her arms, her feet dangling in the air, and her hands were touching. As soon as he plucked the strings of the pipa, his strumming posture could not be described as weird, it was completely weird.

   noticed that someone was passing by the window, Xie Qiutao quickly turned over and put on a graceful posture of holding the pipa half-covered. After finding out that it was Zuo Lingquan, he breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be serious and began to play the pipa.

   “Clang clang clang~”

   Zuo Lingquan looked a little funny, because he wanted to pretend to be unfamiliar with each other, lest the Hou family be suspicious, he didn't take the initiative to say hello, but just stood in the veranda and looked at the scenery.

  Xie Qiutao poured a bottle of Immortal Drunk, and she is still dizzy, plus she was **** by Shangguan Lingye, and she felt a little bored, so she played the pipa by herself.

Although he was a little mad at Shangguan Lingye's domineering, Xie Qiutao's influence on Zuo Lingquan was not bad. If Shangguan Lingye was used up and wanted to abandon her, it was estimated that only Zuo Lingquan could protect her. The play is quite poignant, and it has a lot of meaning of 'narrating love with music'.

  Unfortunately, Zuo Lingquan was a martial artist. He was not very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He could only listen to the sound, but failed to understand Miss Xie's good intentions.

   However, there are still people who understand music on the cruise. Zuo Lingquan just stood for a while when he heard footsteps on the deck of the cruise ship, followed by a clear voice:

"The green forest is on the mountain, the twilight rain follows the cloud, and the Yiren welcomes the emperor to cross the east. The old tree is still there. The peach blossoms have fallen, the lonely branch is facing the sea, where is the wandering child. After a hundred years of hardship, there is no return, and I am left alone. Broken temple and buried bones..."

   Waiting for the sound of the crown.

   Xie Qiutao's pipa sounded, and his eyes were slightly surprised.

   Zuo Lingquan was also quite surprised. When he looked around, he saw Hou Guan walking out from the corner of the cruise ship, the folding fan was shaking slightly, and he said:

   "Miss Xie's song "Qingming Tune" is played seriously... Hey, fellow Daoist Zuo, are you there too?"

  Hou Guan was about to get close to Xie Qiutao, who had a big chance, but in a blink of an eye, he saw a loose cultivator named 'Zuo Lengwan' standing by the fence, admiring the scenery.

   Zuo Lingquan guessed the intention of Hou Guan, he stood farther away, and there was no need to avoid it, and he bowed his hands:

   "Nothing at night, come out to relax. Young Master Hou has a good literary style. This poem is quite popular, but it's too sad."

  Hou Guan was in front of the guests, and he did not show dissatisfaction when disturbed. After he nodded to Xie Qiutao who was watching the play in the room, he walked over to Zuo Lingquan and said:

"I am a practitioner like Zuo Daoyou, so how can I recite poetry and fu. This poem was written by my ancestors, and it matches the mood of Miss Xie's song. I read it out when I was happy, and asked Zuo Daoist friend to write it. Laughed."

   Zuo Lingquan was surprised when he heard that it was written by the "Four Xiangshen Hou":

   "I have long admired the name of the 'Sixiang Shenhou'. Before, I only knew that he was a master of the Xian family. I don't think he was a master of both civil and military skills. He was ignorant."

   "It's not too ignorant. My ancestors can recite poems and compose poems, but they never write them. Outsiders really don't know. This poem was written by my ancestors when they traveled. I don't know how many years ago."

  Xie Qiutao can play music and knows a little bit of poetry. Leaning at the window at this time, he said curiously:

   "This poem seems to be "Magpie Bridge Fairy". Could it be that Old Ancestor Hou wrote it to commemorate an old friend?"

  Hou Guan originally wanted to tell a story to Xie Qiutao and arouse the other party's interest, but unfortunately Zuo Lingquan was a bit unpleasant in front of him, and he was not good at pushing people, so he could only continue:

"Forget it. I heard from the elders that when my ancestor was traveling in all directions, he met a woman on the seaside in the north of Yunzhou. She was deceived by a heartless man. pitful."

  Daughter's family is soft-hearted. Hearing this kind of story of a scumbag and a strong woman will make you feel worried. Xie Qiutao is also the same. She frowned and said:

   "What happened? Your ancestor rescued the girl?"

Hou Guan shook his head and sighed: "How can outsiders help this kind of thing? When the ancestors passed by again, the place became a 'fairy grave', and now there is a big peach tree growing there, if Miss Xie has Time, I can take you there to see, more than a thousand miles away, not too far."

"what?"

  Xie Qiutao felt that this story was not good at all, she pursed her lips and said:

   "What's the use of going to the grave? If there is a chance, you should catch the heartless man, kill him and bury him next to him."

   Zuo Lingquan also felt that this should be the case, he asked:

   "What happened to the heartless man?"

"Hey~ my daughter's family is pitiful and pitiful in this place. She was deceived to death by a heartless man, and she didn't want to reveal her identity, so as not to let the man suffer; if I knew who it was, I would have to go with Miss Xie in the future to arrest that fellow and put him in the grave. Kowtow to atone for sin..."

  Hou Guan felt sorry for himself for a moment. Seeing that Zuo Lingquan was not on the road at all, he had no intention of leaving, so he could only give up his near-planned plans, and after a few words, he said goodbye first.

  Xie Qiutao was really attracted by the story just now. After waiting for the crown to leave, he thought about it and said:

   "Friend Zuo, can you find that heartless man?"

The meaning of    is to ask Zuo Lingquan's network so strong, can he find out who it is.

   Zuo Lingquan also found this story very disturbing. He shook his head and said, "Pay attention to it in the future. It sounds like it happened a hundred years ago, so I'm not sure what the truth is. Miss Xie, rest early, and I'll go back to my room."

"Oh."

  Xie Qiutao didn't say much after seeing this, holding the pipa and continuing to play cotton...

——

  clang clang ~

   Zuo Lingquan listened to the out-of-tune pipa, and went back to his room along the corridor, thinking about the story just now in his mind, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he opened the door directly.

   The lights were still on in the room, but Shangguan Lingye was not in the living room.

  When Zuo Lingquan closed the door, he turned his eyes and saw dim lights in the bedroom, and the red gauze curtain was hanging down, making the big round bed with a beautiful atmosphere, a little more ambiguous.

  Red palace shoes fell on the floor slightly casually, and there was a dress beside the bed. The gorgeous and noble concubine of the past, with her elbows on her upper body and her hands on her cheeks, lay in the middle of the big round bed.

   The clothes on his body were replaced by a red nightdress. The fabric was light and silky, but not transparent, exuding a little glossy color in the dim light.

The fabric of the red nightdress is extremely soft. With the movement of lying down, the fabric naturally sticks to the waist and back without any wrinkles, and even the outline of the lace behind the carp in the flower can be faintly seen; if the shoulders are cut, the waist The lines in between are flowing and flowing to the narrowest point, and suddenly they become plump, turning into a big peach with a perfect arc.

  Because the fabric is too soft, even if there is no deliberate movement, but just put it on the body, there is still a faint groove between the perfect peaches.

The most terrifying thing was that the concubine had her back to the door, lying on her face more casually, her calves were bent, swaying back and forth in the air, she was wearing black tulle stockings, her feet wrapped in black silk were slightly arched from time to time. , stretch out again.

   The nightdress slid to the crook of the legs, and it seemed that I could see something through the gap, but it seemed that I couldn't see anything.

   (⊙﹏⊙)! !

   Zuo Lingquan was caught off guard by seeing such a provocative gesture, and before his daughter-in-law noticed, he closed his right eye very quickly.

   Maybe it was because he realized that only closing his right eye was wrong, and he wanted to close his left eye, but before he could, the graceful beauty in the bedroom turned his head.

  Shangguan Lingye turned sideways and turned into lying on his side with his left arm supporting his upper body. The bulging placket was taut, which also made the waist-hip curve more graceful. She frowned and asked:

"What are you looking at?"

"Forehead……"

   Zuo Lingquan only saw at this moment that there was an open book in front of Shangguan Lingye, who should have been lying on his stomach and reading a book.

  Danzi also squatted on the book, covered his eyes with his wings strangely, and turned around when he realized that someone had entered the room:

   "Gee?"

   Zuo Lingquan quickly turned his eyes away and spread his hands a little embarrassedly:

   "Niangniang, how are you..."

  Shangguan Lingye lowered his head and sketched his figure - nothing leaked, even his feet were tightly wrapped.

   "What happened to Ben Gong? You go out to hang out, Ben Gong is reading in the house, and you have to stand and sit? Pretending to be your Taoist companion, do you really take Ben Gong as a Taoist companion?"

  ? ?

   Zuo Lingquan felt that Grandma Concubine was seducing people, but he had no evidence, so he could only say:

   "Niang Niang reads books as long as she reads books, how can she take off her disguise? Even her skirts..."

  Shangguan Lingye raised his hand and made a light hook, and the dress and makeup returned to the appearance of a female loose cultivator:

   "Bengong has a very deep way of doing things. Lying in the room, how can I come here naturally? Is there any problem?"

   "My lady is walking high, knowing that I'm coming in, why didn't you put your clothes on in advance~www.wuxiaspot.com~, you know I'm in the house, why didn't you knock on the door?"

  “…”

   Zuo Lingquan had nothing to say, nodded and said, "It's me who offended me, Niangniang, please continue reading, I won't disturb." Then he came to the tea table and sat down.

   "Humph~" Shangguan Lingye moved his jade fingers slightly, changed into a very homely outfit, and continued to read the book while lying on his stomach.

   Zuo Lingquan was sitting in a position where he couldn't see the bedroom, so he felt a little more relaxed, but the terrifying glance just now lingered in his mind, and he even forgot the little stories he heard.

   He was about to meditate and spend the boring time when the dumpling suddenly flew out of the bedroom flapping its wings and landed directly on his knees.

   "jijijiji..."

   Dango was a little excited, gestured with small wings, kept shouting, it should be saying:

"Hurry up and take care of the nanny, she's crazy, she's looking at the picture book of the villain fighting, just now she learned to draw the people on it, put herself in a very strange pose, and hung herself on the rope, more than a mother alone. I'm nervous when I'm in the house..."

   It's a pity that Zuo Lingquan couldn't understand what the dumpling was saying at all.

——

   was speechless all night.

   In the early morning of the next day, the cruise ship descended from the tributary of the Yuanjiang River and came to Linhai County.

  The Hou family can make a name for themselves in the practice, and it must be a prominent family in a county; in order not to disturb the people, the area of ​​more than 100 miles in the west of Linhai County was assigned to the Hou family as a private jurisdiction.

   Zuo Lingquan stood on the bow of the boat and looked towards the river bank. He could see the ancient trees on the river bank towering into the sky and the green fields everywhere. There were many birds and beasts moving around. There were also monks running back and forth to take care of them. It looked like a wild animal park.

The Hou family's manor is located by the sea. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is also a small blessed place suitable for cultivation from a meteorological point of view. However, from a distance, the entire hill is bare and there are countless white stone tablets. There is a manor on the top of the mountain, which is incompatible with the surrounding mountains surrounded by green forests.

  Shangguan Lingye stood beside Zuo Lingquan and frowned slightly when she saw this scene. Her vision was far better than Zuo Lingquan, and she could clearly see the graves below those white stone tablets.

   The villa is built on top of the grave, which looks very strange, but the blue sky is clear, the sky is clear, and it does not make people feel gloomy. Overall, it is a bit weird.

  Xie Qiutao stood not far from the two of them. After looking at him a few times, he was a little worried about his own safety and wanted to say a few words, but Hou Guan was nearby, so he finally let it go.

  The boat is docked at the river bay under the Tomb Mountain, a winding stone road leads to the Sixiang Villa, and the family is waiting for the family to meet by the river.

Zuo Lingquan was walking among the crowds, looking at the thousands of graves on the hillside, some large and small, but without exception they were all wordless monuments. From the perspective of arrangement, it was not a formation, but simply from old to new. arranged.

   The group of people were all monks, and they went up the mountain very quickly, but in half a cup of tea, they reached the Sixiang Villa on the top of the mountain.

  The villa was built quite simply and restrained, just like people in the world. The only unusual thing is that a temple was built on the side of the villa, which was not a statue of a god, but a lifelike white tiger, and there was an incense altar tribute table below.

  The four elephants are divided into Qinglong and White Tiger and Suzaku Xuanwu. It stands to reason that the Four Elephant Villas should be dedicated to the gods and the earth, so they should be dedicated to all four. It is a bit special to pay tribute to the white tiger alone.

   Zuo Lingquan also asked a question casually for this, and Hou Guan's answer was "The White Tiger is in the west, and the Sixiang Villa is in the west of Yuyaozhou", which makes sense.

  Sixiang Villa has a certain scale, but most of the clansmen operate their businesses in other places, and there are not many people staying at home, so that the villa looks a bit empty up and down.

   After Hou Guan returned to the villa, he arranged accommodation for the guests who came over.

  Shangguan Lingye's purpose was to see what medicines were sold in the gourd of Hou's family. Originally, he planned to stay put and wait for the "Four Signs of Gods" to see Xie Qiutao, and then secretly investigate to decide whether to do it.

   But what Shangguan Lingye didn't expect was that before she followed the family to the guest house, Hou Guan chased after him from behind and said:

   "Fellow Daoist Zuo, please stay, and the ancestors ask you to come over."

   Zuo Lingquan and Shangguan Lingye paused and looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

   Zuo Lingquan quietly turned around and said:

   "Oh? Could the Hou of the Four Signs still recognize me as a little guy?"

   Hou Guan was actually quite surprised. He brought the guests back, and before he had time to alarm the ancestors, the words of the ancestors had already been delivered. He smiled and said:

   "I don't know either. The ancestors have great powers. Maybe I have heard of the two of them. I'll take them there."

  Shangguan Lingye narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that this trip should come to the right place.

   has already arrived at other people's house, and it's too late to run, she secretly said hello to Tang Jingxuan, asked Jingxuan to inform her mother-in-law, then turned around and went to the back mountain with Zuo Lingquan.

  Xie Qiutao followed to another place to stay, and when she looked back, she saw that the two followed Hou Guan, with a bit of suspicion on her face, but she couldn't say anything, but she was more careful.

——

  The back mountain is at the back of Sixiang Villa, and beyond that is the boundless East China Sea. When you cross the top of the mountain, there is a sea-hunting wind, which rolls up the hay and dead leaves on the ground.

   Zuo Lingquan followed Hou Guan and was careful along the way. When he came to the back mountain adjacent to the coast, he saw a large garden, but after some years, the buildings were relatively broken.

The people living in the garden are not people, but all kinds of birds and beasts, all of which are old, toothless tigers and leopards, and hairless cranes and eagles. Some sluggishly lie in the old nest, and it seems that they have already lost their fighting spirit.

   Outside the old garden, there is also a cemetery with no end in sight.

  A young man in a scholar's robe, holding a shovel in his hand, dug a hole at the very end of the cemetery, shovel after shovel of soil sprinkled around him.

Next to him was an old dog with a big skeleton but not much meat, watching the scholar digging; after digging for a while, the old dog slowly crawled in and lay down, feeling that the size was not suitable, so he got up again and used his paws to dig two pieces. Down.

   Then the scholar continued to dig and said:

"I used to dig so many holes for others, but I didn't know how to dig one for myself. Now I can't dig it, so let me dig it. No matter how good I dig, you will think it's not suitable, because no one will think it's suitable to bury their own hole. So don't pay too much attention to it."

   The old dog was lying in front of him, just staring at the pit without any reaction.

   In front of him is a thousand-mile solitary tomb, and behind him is an old beast in a remnant garden.

   When Zuo Lingquan came over, he had imagined all the possibilities of the "Four Signs and Gods", but he never thought that he would see a young scholar, like a lunatic, digging a dog's grave on a barren mountain.

  Shangguan Lingye also frowned and slowed down a bit.

   After Hou Guan brought the two to the old garden, he did not go any further, and said with a smile:

   "The Ancestor is right in front. He looks very young, but he must be older than the three of us combined. The Ancestor is a friendly person, so the two of you can go directly."

   Zuo Lingquan nodded, then walked towards the scholar, and stopped when he was more than thirty feet away.

   rub rub——

Between    graveyards, the scholar did not greet the two people behind him. He held a shovel and kept digging a hole. Gradually, only one head could be seen, and the whole person stood in the hole.

   The old dog climbed in and tried several times, but he didn't come up the last time; he didn't come up because he wasn't satisfied with the hole he dug, but lay down and closed his eyes, and he never opened it again.

  The scholar jumped out of the grave, filled the dug with soil again, built a grave bag, and then took out a wordless tablet from Linglong Pavilion and inserted it in front of the grave bag.

   Shangguan Lingye and Zuo Lingquan were blowing the sea breeze and watching all this, they understood what the scholar was doing, but they didn't understand what the scholar asked them to do.

   After the scholar erected the stone tablet, he clapped his hands and looked back at Zuo Lingquan:

   "Zuo Jianxia, ​​you have been waiting for a long time."

   Zuo Lingquan didn't know the intention of the other party, so he opened his mouth and said:

   "Do you know me?"

   The scholar is also frank: "The first person in the younger generation of the nine sects, naturally knows him."

  “…”

  Shangguan Lingye saw that the other party knew the bottom line, and also confirmed that the other party was coming towards Zuo Lingquan, she asked with a frown:

   "Are you from the Youying alien race?"

   The scholar stuck the shovel on the ground, turned around and walked towards the beach:

   "You two don't need to panic, there are no ambush around, I am the only one. The visitor is a guest, no matter friend or foe, always have a cup of tea."

   Zuo Lingquan looked at Shangguan Lingye, Shangguan Lingye hesitated for a while, but still followed, and he naturally walked in front of him.

  The hillside by the sea is full of graves, and tens of thousands of stone tablets look like a white stone forest in the sun, and there is no end to it at a glance.

  The scholar walked in front, his footsteps seemed to be unhurried, but he had walked several miles in a moment, and finally came to the top of a natural reef by the sea.

   The reef is like a large platform with a thatched hut on it and a tea table outside.

  The scholar lifted the teapot, poured two bowls of tea, then walked to the edge of the reef and sat down, looking at the endless East Sea, and said:

   "Does Zuo Jianxia know what is buried in the graveyard behind?"

  The two came to the reef and sat down near the tea table without touching the tea.

   Zuo Lingquan glanced at the cemetery: "All buried birds and beasts?"

   The scholar nodded lightly: "Do you think I'm so different?"

   Shangguan Lingye couldn't see through the thoughts of the scholar, but she felt that this move was not unusual, she said:

   "Spiritual beasts are like close friends, and a thick burial is a duty. How can you say otherwise?"

"Not all birds and beasts are spirit beasts. The ones you see outside are all valuable spirit beasts. In fact, when you cultivate spirit beasts, there will be many ordinary birds and beasts that are old, weak, sick, or have no spirituality at all; these No one wants birds and beasts, under normal circumstances, they are either thrown out to fend for themselves, or used to feed other beasts, and only I will save them from birth to death.”

  This sentence is not a problem at first, it's great, but Zuo Lingquan thought about it, and it's a bit baffling:

   "You rescued them, don't you want to feed chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep? The lives of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are not life?"

   Shangguan Lingye wanted to speak, but when he heard this, he stopped and looked at the scholar.

The scholar smiled: "Yeah. I thought this was a great act of kindness, but slowly I found out that life does have high and low status. Unless everyone starves to death, it will always be a situation where the weak will eat the meat. The strong are defending their own race, and for aliens, it is the butcher’s knife on the top of the head, there is no righteous way in the world, and the position is different.”

   These remarks are classic remarks of evil and crooked. Shangguan Lingye said solemnly:

   "The righteous way will eat the weak and the strong, but the righteous way has a bottom line. It will teach everyone not to hunt young beasts, not to catch winter fish, not to kill chickens to retrieve eggs, not to ask for excessive, and to maintain their own existence, but also to maintain the life of all things..."

   The scholar didn't want to talk about these big truths, he shook his head and said:

   "What I want to say is that this world is dominated by people, and good and evil are determined by people. I am also a human, and I think this is no problem, but after encountering some things, I feel empathy and find that people are indeed too domineering."

"What's up?"

   The scholar did not tell the past, but said:

   "You know why the 'Youying Alien Race' is called an 'Alien Race' by the cultivators of the right way?"

   Zuo Lingquan really didn't know this, he looked at Shangguan Lingye.

   But Shangguan Lingye has never been out of Yuyao Continent, only knows that Youying aliens are all for the practice of unscrupulous people, and they don't know much about others. She asked:

"you know?"

   The scholar looked towards the East China Sea and explained:

"There are no gods in this world, there are only people with different positions, and the eight masters are only people who follow the path of the sky, and they are different from the gods and gods who live the same life. Birds and beasts are no longer birds and beasts; Once you have cultivated into an immortal, you are no longer human.

"What human beings can do to birds and beasts, those so-called 'immortals' can do to human beings. They may be sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and they may maintain the life of the human race, but they will not treat you as the same kind. Birds, beasts, and even ordinary people are treated as if they were of the same kind."

  “…”

   Zuo Lingquan was the first to hear this statement:

   "Can this be the same?"

"It's the same. Tigers can no longer eat people when their intelligence is developed; sheep can't think about their compatriots when they have developed their intelligence; it's not that they don't want to and forget that they are 'born as beasts', but this world is dominated by people, and people rules do not allow it.

"It's the same with 'immortals'. They have their own rules. People who don't follow their rules are 'alien demons'; even if the 'immortals' are very tolerant to people, like me, they bury the birds and beasts properly. , it is only the mercy of the superior, rather than treating people as the same kind, I don’t know if you can understand it.”

  Shangguan Lingye pondered for a while, and even thought it made some sense.

   Zuo Lingquan asked: "How do you know that gods are like this?"

"I didn't know it until soon. There are no true gods in this world, because a long time ago, a most holy sage cut off the path to ascend to the immortal, and sealed the Taiyin God, resulting in an imbalance between Yin and Yang, and all monks could not enter for a lifetime. The 'Nine Gai Realm' blocked everyone's way of longevity."

   The scholar turned his head and looked overseas:

"The purpose of the Youying alien race is very simple, just to get through the longevity road. Not all of them are demons. Some people just want to go to a higher mountain to see. But for you, who are already equivalent to alien races? , just like a sheep treats a sheep that wants to become a man."

  “…”

  Zuo Lingquan sat up straight for a few minutes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ frowned, feeling that this news is really not very good.

  Shangguan Lingye doesn't know whether this is true or not, but even if it is true, the ancestor of Shangguan can seek longevity instead of asking for it, and instead be the "God" of ordinary people, she can do the same. She said coldly:

   "You want to persuade me to return to the Youying Alien Race?"

The scholar    didn't mean this, but someone asked him to tell the news. He turned around:

   "Whether you will join the Youying Alien Race has nothing to do with me; after all, I am now a grade lower than your human race. What I am asking now is just to get justice for the 'demon' in your mouth."

  Shangguan Lingye frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Ha ha……"

   The scholar stood up and opened his arms.

next moment!

  Boom——

  The sky trembled and the sea burst.

  Across the black reefs, the wind suddenly rises, and the sky is like a wild wave, sweeping the entire mountain...
