On the Self-cultivation of the Concubine

The two were stalking and squabbling, when a righteous voice suddenly came from the other side of the stream: "Under the bright universe, there are evil monsters hurting people, I will take you in!"

Xie Xuanzhao quickly hugged Liu Qinglan into his arms, flicked his sleeves, and grasped the long whip resting on the side of the stone into his palm.

"Wait a minute."

She followed the sound, and when she was about to see the other person's appearance, she froze and stopped.

Liu Qinglan was annoyed that she didn't make the mark well, and at the same time poked her head out from under the arm of the beauty queen, wanting to see who was so blind.

Above the stream, there is a book floating in the air. Under the twilight light, it shines like a layer of golden light.

Liu Qinglan swallowed her saliva, quickly transformed into her original form, and jumped up from the arms of the beauty queen.

She pounced on the book, pawed it enthusiastically on the grass, and rolled. "Master, it's me, Xiao Liu!"

Xie Xuanzhao put down his whip and looked at the book in surprise, so, is this a good book? !

Only then did the old and dazed scholar recognize that it was indeed the Felipe he had taught for a while.

It had just exerted too much force, and Liu Qinglan slapped it on the grass with its paws, feeling like all its old bones were falling apart.

Liu Qinglan poked her head over and touched it lightly with her paw, "Why don't you talk anymore?"

"En." The book spirit replied lightly, very mature.

Xie Xuanzhao tidied up his appearance, wrapped the long whip around his waist, and walked over.

The book lying on the grass has been completely closed, face up, and three words are written on the cover: Tao Te Ching.

Because this book was written by Laozi, the originator of Taoism, it is also called "Laozi".

Xie Xuanzhao also began to respect it now, this is a serious book, it is good that Xiao Liu can worship such a serious book as a master.

However, it is estimated that he did not learn well.Fortunately, he didn't finish his studies, otherwise the person standing in front of him might be an old pedantic Liu kitten.

Xie Xuanzhao saw that the book was still not moving, so he couldn't help asking: "Qinglan, is your master injured?"

"I don't know either, how about Sister Beauty, you can pick it up and have a look." Liu Qinglan subconsciously changed "Sister Empress" to "Sister Beauty", because she didn't want to expose Xie Xuanzhao's identity as a queen.

Xie Xuanzhao bent down and picked up the book as he said.

The book essence only felt that she was being held up by a pair of slender hands, and there was still the warmth of the beauty's palm on it.It blushed and refloated itself, hanging in front of them.

Liu Qinglan rolled on the grass, turned into a human figure again, and then stood beside Xie Xuanzhao, looking at the book hanging in the air.

"It is the master who taught me how to draw talisman paper to protect myself."

Xie Xuanzhao was puzzled: "Amulet paper?"

"It is to be able to inject spiritual power, and then achieve different effects according to the different symbols. Just like last time, I used the peach blossom beauty symbol, and it became beautiful~" Liu Qinglan explained patiently.

Xie Xuanzhao quickly understood, and then thought to himself: You still have the nerve to mention that peach blossom makeup, which shows that you are really not good at learning, and a good beauty charm can be turned into an after-event makeup by you...

Liu Qinglan gave a low cough. What she remembered was when she saw the beauty queen for the first time, she mistakenly replaced the "gentle and honest" talisman with the "warm feeling" talisman on the Ruyi handle.

She scratched her ear, "Okay, I admit that I didn't learn how to draw talismans well!" But if it wasn't for drawing the wrong talisman, which made the beauty queen misunderstand her, how could there be a good relationship now.Thinking of this, Liu Qinglan proudly raised her little tail.

"Xiao Liu, you haven't introduced the human woman next to you, why did you suppress her just now?" The neglected book spirit finally took the initiative to speak, because it suspected that if it didn't make a sound, the two of them would really want to completely kill her. I forgot.

Well, a book is so non-existent.What's more, young people nowadays don't like to read "Tao Te Ching".

Liu Qinglan came back to her senses, and quickly said: "She is my woman."

Although he didn't succeed in leaving a mark just now, but he has registered with Peach Blossom Demon and made a relationship with him, so there is no problem at all.

The book floating in the air suddenly stopped moving, and the pages of the book that had been rustling by the autumn wind also stopped moving.

The world is getting worse, the world is getting worse, and now they all have wives and wives!

Xie Xuanzhao couldn't hide his smile, hooked the hand of the little beauty next to him, and said, "She is also my woman."

The Book Essence, which was hit by [-] points, was a little unstable. After reluctantly accepting this reality, it looked at Liu Qinglan, "You haven't introduced her as a teacher yet."

Liu Qinglan hurriedly looked at her beauty queen again, "He is my master, a master of books."

"..." The book spirit really wanted to float over and knock on the head of his stupid apprentice, nonsense, I need you to introduce me!

Xie Xuanzhao rolled up his fingers, put them on his mouth and coughed lightly, "I've already seen it."

Liu Qinglan didn't understand why, "So, Master, why do you want me to introduce you?"

"I think, I understand what it means." Xie Xuanzhao patted Liu Qinglan's small head, then took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand, "Master Qinglan, hello, my name is Xie Xuanzhao, I don't know how to address you?"

Only then did the scholar calm down a little, and then he took a serious look at the intelligent beauty in front of him, thinking that it was good that Xiao Liu had found her, she was quite complementary.

"You can call me Huaidan, that's my name." Shu Jing said gently.

Xie Xuanzhao couldn't help asking: "Your voice seems very young to me, not like an old man."

Huai Dan smiled cheerfully, "Sure enough, I'm really young, so you don't have to be so polite, I'm younger than you."

Liu Qinglan was listening, squinting at her master.

Huaidan felt that he was questioned by them, so he changed his body, exposed his legs and landed on the ground. When the white light on his body dissipated, standing in front of them was a handsome and handsome young man.

Only then did Xie Xuanzhao believe that this was indeed a young book.

"Beautiful sister, don't be fooled by my master, it has lived for thousands of years, it is already an old bone." Liu Qinglan despised this book master for always showing off with such a beautiful appearance, I don't know how many ignorant girls have been cheated.

Huaidan took out a folding fan from his sleeve, he looked like a scholar, he said calmly, "I am good at beautifying my face."

Xie Xuanzhao: ...

After Huaidan pretended to be coercive, he finally remembered the business.His expression became serious again, "I went back to Huoshan this time to pick baskets of herbs. In Qingfeng Town not far away, evil spirits appeared, spreading the plague, and many people died. The county magistrate didn't dare to report it. Chaotang, actually dealt with it privately, and buried countless people to death. I want to go back quickly, how many can be saved now, Xiaoliu, your cultivation is still shallow, in addition to self-cultivation, you also need to do some good deeds to help your cultivation grow .Since we met here, you might as well go and have a look with your teacher.”

Liu Qinglan was caught into the harem as soon as she got off the mountain, and then she was busy rubbing the aura of the beauty queen. It is difficult to do good deeds in that place, and she couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard the words, so she looked at Xie Xuanzhao next to her and asked for her opinion .

When Xie Xuanzhao heard about this, his expression became serious.This matter is related to the court, she can't ignore it.

The county magistrate of Qingfeng dared to conceal the report privately, and he didn't know who gave him such courage, and the governor in charge of supervising the area didn't even investigate, there must be a bigger secret behind this.

Xie Xuanzhao pondered and said: "There is such a bad thing, I will go with you to see it. I know a few adults in the court, and when I write a letter, the superior should send someone to investigate. Now let's go to Qing Look at the situation in Fengzhen." She looked at Liu Qinglan next to her, "By the way, you can also practice with your master to improve your cultivation."

Seeing that she agreed to go with her, Liu Qinglan nodded quickly, "Okay. Sister Beauty is the best!"

Xie Xuanzhao couldn't help laughing, and touched her hair, this is the best, you are too easy to be satisfied.

Huaidan went back to the bank of the stream and found his herb basket, which already contained a lot of herbs picked in Huoshan.

"The herbs near Qingfeng Town have all been robbed. I have no choice but to come to Huoshan. Let's go back now."

Xie Xuanzhao led the well-fed horse from under the tree, and looked at Liu Qinglan again, "You can summon small animals in this mountain, I don't know if there are any birds in the sky that are familiar with you, I want to send a letter first. "

Liu Qinglan thought for a while, and finally remembered a little fat chirp. "Yes, I will call her here and let her send a message."

Xie Xuanzhao took off a pendant hanging from his waist, with a red tassel tassel, opened the bronze sheath, and inside was a small brush and a tube of ink.This small and exquisite pen and ink pendant was made by a craftsman ordered by her elder brother and specially given to her as a gift.Xie Xuanzhao liked it very much, so he replaced the jade pendant and always wore it next to his body.

As for the writing paper, there is a book next to it, so it can be easily solved.

Xie Xuanzhao wrote down her whereabouts and the situation in Qingfeng Town. During the time she was writing, Liu Qinglan used her demonic power to transmit the voice, and notified the little Fat Chirp in the mountain forest to fly over.

A moment later, a mountain sparrow flew to a stop by the stream.

Xie Xuanzhao rolled up the letter paper, put it in the reed pole, and then looked at the bird, his eyes lit up.

Probably cute people are surrounded by cute friends. This merle is plump, with a long and curled tail, and two eyes that are like black beans. It is really super cute.

"Is it also a goblin?" Xie Xuanzhao couldn't help asking.

Liu Qinglan waved at the bird, telling her that there was no danger here, and then the bird flew down cautiously and landed on Liu Qinglan's shoulder.

Xie Xuanzhao looked at this cute little creature, and it was even cuter when he saw it up close.

Liu Qinglan touched her little head, "This is a little elf who has just successfully cultivated, equivalent to a child. But she is still very reliable, Ah Yin, don't you think?"

The bird's voice was mellow and pleasant, with childishness, "I will definitely not delay the matter of Boss Liu."

Xie Xuanzhao carefully tied the reed pole containing the letter paper to the little bird's leg, then couldn't help touching her feathers, and looked at Liu Qinglan next to her, "Then what kind of bird is she?"

"Ayin is a silver-throated long-tailed tit." Liu Qinglan held her in the palm of her hand, stroking her feathers together with the beauty queen.

The bird was chubby and shrunk into a ball, like a ball of snow, and her beautiful long tail was still up.

"Ayin, be careful on the road. Just deliver this letter to this person. Don't let it fall into the hands of others." Liu Qinglan ordered, and then let her see the appearance of the Patriarch of the Xie family.

The bird flapped its wings, "This human man is so handsome, it's easy to recognize, I'm sure I won't admit it."

"That's good, you go, you are so cute, you must pay attention to safety, don't be caught, you know?" Liu Qinglan patted her little head, and then watched her fly away with wings .

Huai Dan, who was at the side, saw that the two had finally finished plucking birds, and had already waited anxiously, "Since the matter has been settled, let's set off immediately."

Seeing that there was only one horse, Xie Xuanzhao said, "Huai Dan, why don't you turn back into a book and lie down on the horse, even though they are both fairies and can travel thousands of miles on their own. In the bamboo basket. Then hand over the herb basket to me, and I will ride to Qingfeng Town with it on my back."

Fortunately, before departure, Xie Xuanzhao prepared two sets of clothes suitable for traveling, so riding to Qingfeng Town on horseback was not against harmony, and there was no need to worry about being recognized.

Liu Qinglan quickly said: "What about me? What about me?"

She knew that a horse could carry two people for a certain distance, but it would be very strenuous for a long distance.

Xie Xuanzhao had already planned in her heart, she carried the herb basket on her back, and then looked at the little beauty next to her, "You also change back to your original shape, lie in my arms, and I will carry you all the way."

Little Fairy Liu looked at the beautiful queen's arms, her heart itching, which meant that she could just roll into the beautiful queen's embrace along the way and then rub against her recklessly~

"Then... let's go!"

The author has something to say: Fairy Liu: You can boldly insult the beauty queen along the way!happy~~~

Beauty Queen: So, in the wild, all you think about is these colored things→_→
