The fairy is fierce

When a traveler returns, family members inevitably gather together.

After hearing the news, Zuo's uncles, brothers and sisters all arrived at the ancestral home in the afternoon and held a family banquet to welcome Zuo Lingquan.

Shangguan Lingye was injured and needed to rest. After meeting Zuo Lingquan's parents, he went down to rest on the grounds that he was tired.

Shangguan Lingye naturally did not attend the family dinner in the evening. Zuo Lingquan's parents were not surprised by this. It is normal for a girl to be shy and thin-skinned. She also has no official status. It is difficult to introduce her to the clan elders. , and no one bothered me.

After Zuo Lingquan went to the capital, he was equivalent to becoming a 'brother-in-law'. After getting married, he also lived in the princess's mansion. It was difficult to live back at home. After he started to practice asceticism, the chance of coming back was even less. He said in his heart that he couldn't Missing you is fake.

During the dinner, Zuo Lingquan greeted his relatives one by one and recounted what he saw and heard outside. As for the matter of practicing Taoism, he did not go into details. The main thing is those mysterious things that the family doesn't like to hear. The most frequently asked questions are 'how is your relationship with the princess and when are you going to let your mother have a grandson?' etc. The specific situation can be imagined by ordinary people.

After the family dinner, the heavy rain continued, but it was completely dark.

After Zuo Lingquan sent his uncles away, he originally wanted to see the young woman and grandma, but she was probably meditating to recuperate from her injuries, so it was not inconvenient to disturb her. Zuo Lingquan was also injured, so he returned to his yard.

The courtyard where I lived when I was a child is in the east courtyard. It is a courtyard composed of four rows of houses. There is a hall at the entrance, wing rooms for the maids on the left and right, and the main house in the middle.

Zuo Lingquan had some vague memories of his past life. He didn't like being served by others since he was a child. After he could run around, he stopped letting the maid hold him to sleep. The two rooms on the left and right had been empty all year round and were locked at this time.

The small trees in the yard were all destroyed when I was a child. There are a few wooden figures placed against the wall, but nothing else.

Zuo Lingquan entered the courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years. He just glanced at it and his first impression was that it was a little small. When Wanwan, Jingxun and Jiang Yi moved in, Leng Zhu would have to share the same room with him.

Xiao Lengzhu should be very happy.

Walking around from under the eaves to the main room, the door was unlocked. My mother must have sent someone to clean it. Zuo Lingquan raised his hand to push the door open and entered. Just as he was about to reminisce about his childhood, he suddenly realized that there was someone lying on his bed. ! !

Zuo Lingquan's thoughts suddenly cleared and he quickly exited the room, but he immediately reacted and took a look.

The bedroom is clean and tidy, with a bright red quilt spread on the canopy bed made of hollow landscapes carved from huanghuali.

The beautiful woman with red lips as red as fire and as delicate as jade lay quietly next to a red quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks, her hands folded on her waist and abdomen, her mountain peaks bulging high, her light blue coat and skirt without any wrinkles, and her white skirt The skirt naturally fell on the slender legs, and a pair of crystal clear feet like mutton-fat jade were exposed at the end of the skirt. They were so tender that even the soles of the feet were not flawless. The palace shoes were placed neatly beside the bed.

On the red quilt next to the beauty, a big white dumpling lay stretched out between two mandarin ducks, with its wings spread out and its little paws facing the sky, sleeping with its head tilted.

As a bird, I don't know how to describe this sleeping position.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shangguan Lingye did not wake up, but Tuanzi turned over. After looking at Zuo Lingquan, he consciously moved inside to make room for Zuo Lingquan.

Facing Tuanzi's warm invitation, Zuo Lingquan curled his lips in a funny way.

Seeing that Shangguan Lingye didn't wake up, Zuo Lingquan was worried about his injury. After hesitating, he walked into the room and came to the bed, wanting to reach out and check Shangguan Lingye's pulse.

It's just that Shangguan Lingye didn't wake up. He was carefully recuperating his meridians and Qi and didn't want to open his eyes.

Finding Zuo Lingquan walking up to her lightly and raising his hand to touch her, Shangguan Lingye took a gentle breath, opened his cold beautiful eyes, and said calmly:

"What to do?"

Seeing this, Tuanzi called out "chichi~" twice, as if to answer "sleep!".

Zuo Lingquan definitely didn't dare to answer like this. When he found that the young woman and grandma were awake, he quickly retracted his hand and asked:

"How is your injury?"

"It's no big deal, it'll be fine in a few days."

Shangguan Lingye did not stand up, closed his eyes and said, "Why have you started calling me empress recently?"

Zuo Lingquan sat down next to the bed and said with a smile:

"It's easy to get confused with "Senior Shangguan" by calling him "Senior", so in the end I just followed Jiang Yi. I'm afraid it's a bit offensive to call me 'Lingye'."

Shangguan Lingye didn't like to call herself the imperial concubine because she wanted to draw a clear line between herself and the secular world. After looking away, she didn't care about these messes.

"You can call me whatever you like. Aunt Zuo told me today that you are not interested in women. You drank some wine and ran into my house at night. Don't you think it's inappropriate?"

Zuo Lingquan felt a little innocent now and looked around:

"This is the courtyard where I lived when I was a child. I was wondering why my queen slept here.

"Aunt Zuo arranged it... Well, she probably misunderstood our relationship, so I just told you how to use the red bedding. There is no need to sleep anyway, so just leave it like this."

As a grown man, Zuo Lingquan couldn't watch Shangguan Lingye sleeping, so he didn't bother him anymore and got up to spend the night in the room next door.

It was just that Shangguan Lingye was woken up and found it a little difficult to fall into trance. Seeing Zuo Lingquan was about to leave, she opened her eyes and sat up:

"You have finished drinking, but I haven't drunk yet. You owe me a drink, when are you going to pay me back?"

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he turned around:

"Jingxun dug out the wine he buried last year and brewed it himself. It tastes very good. Would you like to try it, my lady?"

"You give me the wine that Miss Tang buried. Aren't you afraid that she will talk about you?"

"Jingxun doesn't drink much. He buried several jars. He was planning to taste them for everyone, as long as he doesn't finish them all."

Shangguan Lingye didn't say much when he saw this. He raised his jade feet and picked up the palace shoes on the ground. His posture was graceful and elegant, and he looked very attractive.

When Zuo Lingquan saw this scene, he remembered that Wanwan was a little confused every time she finished practicing to hook her shoes.

He looked away, went to the study room next door, opened the window, and put away the chessboard on the chess couch.

Outside the back window of the study, there is a piece of evergreen bamboo for ornamental use. It is often taken care of and the environment is very good. Especially the rain curtain hanging from the window makes the study more elegant like a water town.

Shangguan Lingye held the dumplings and came to sit on the side of the chess couch. His legs were bent and stacked under the graceful hip line. He held the small case lazily with his left hand. He glanced at it casually and found that the dark hole was a bit dark. He took out a candlestick and an incense stick from the Linglong Pavilion.

Tuanzi was very sensible. He jumped on the small table, opened his beak, sprayed out a small red flame, and lit the candlestick and incense. The room then became brighter, and the backflow incense fell from the incense stand, showing colorful colors and gathering in the smoke lake at the bottom. It looked extremely mysterious.

After Tuanzi completed his duty of hunting turkeys, he opened his beak and asked for a reward.

Zuo Lingquan looked a little funny, so he sat down across from him, placed two wine bowls, opened a jar of Jingxun's wine, filled the wine bowl, and said:

"In the secular world, there are more favors and politeness. It is not as straight-forward as the spiritual path. Are you used to living here?"

Shangguan Lingye was not used to it, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She picked up the wine bowl, brought it to her red lips and took a sip:

"I used to hear the word 'human touch' a lot, but I basically don't feel it in the spiritual world. Even if my teachers and seniors are nice to you, they won't say it out loud and leave you to fend for yourself. I also feel protected and favored. , is a sign that I am not strong enough; but now it seems that it is a very happy thing to have elders to help me with everything.”

What you seek through spiritual practice is immortality, and you have to walk your own path; what you seek in the secular world is peace of mind, and your family can take care of you for a lifetime. There is indeed a big difference between the two. Zuo Lingquan nodded and said:

"Yeah, who wouldn't want to be a baby if given the chance."

"Baby?"

Shangguan Lingye thought this title was strange, but he understood the meaning. She pursed her lips and smiled:

"Why did you run away when you could be a baby? If I had been born here and had a mother like you to pamper me, I would have been a baby."

Zuo Lingquan sighed: "When I came to this world, I had to live a decent life. I had everything I wanted when I was born, but then I felt that I could see the end of my life at a glance, and my life was very boring..."

"So you just mess with 'fire gun', 'soap' and 'distilled liquor'?"? ?

Zuo Lingquan's expression froze and he looked into those beautiful eyes in front of the lamp:

"How does the empress know?"

Shangguan Lingye had a bit of pride in his eyes:

"Aunt Zuo told me."

"Uh, why did I even tell you about this... how much did I say?"

"I told you everything, from the time you were born to the time you married into the capital." Shangguan Lingye leaned against the small table, changed into a comfortable position, and teased: "Do you think it's boring to be a playboy, so you toss in those weird skills?"

Speaking of the stupid things he did when he was a child, Zuo Lingquan felt a little confused:

"Absolutely. I'm struggling with those things because my spiritual path is blocked. I'm going to find another way to prove that I'm different. The result is good. I was hit hard. Fortunately, the Great Pill is relatively closed. There is no Tiandun Pai, Shuiyue, or Immortal Family. Ferry, otherwise Tao Xin will collapse on the spot."

Shangguan Lingye held the wine bowl and said with a smile:

"After thousands of years of living and working in peace and contentment, the genius craftsmen of the Nine Sects have long explored everything that ordinary people can think of. The only reason why it has not been widely spread is that there are better substitutes.

"For example, the craftsmen of Zhiyue Lin built iron boats that can run on boiled water. They and Zhiyue Lin proposed to build them in large quantities to transport objects back and forth. As a result, the cost was higher than that of the Xianjia ferry, and the transportation capacity was also higher. Can't catch up.

"As for the firecrackers you got, they existed before the establishment of the Nine Sects, and were used by secular dynasties to fight monsters summoned by stolen pills. Later, they were banned after the war, because immortals can't use them, and mortals can use them. The casualties in the battle were too great. It seems that another sect tried to figure it out a few days ago, but a mortal used it to blow up other immortal sects..."

After Zuo Lingquan finished listening quietly, he picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, sighing:

"It's because the Immortal is so powerful that I want to spare no effort to climb up, mainly for the sake of security. Just like this time, the aftermath of the escape of stealing the pill has affected the entire south. If I can't climb to the top of the mountain, I can only watch It would be so desperate to leave life and death in the hands of others.”

Shangguan Lingye agreed with this statement, but at this moment, she didn't want to talk about such commonplace topics as 'the heart towards the Tao'. Then he asked:

"You were only seven or eight years old at the time. Where did you get these fantastic ideas?"

Zuo Lingquan's memory of his previous life was not very clear. He couldn't remember how he was reborn, or whether Meng Po soup was mixed with water. He could only shake his head and said:

"Maybe it's because I haven't forgotten everything about my previous life. Anyway, I always have some random thoughts, which are of little use."

Shangguan Lingye didn't understand the theory of reincarnation, but she knew there should be one. She said curiously:

"Do you still remember any nonsense? I wonder if there is a spiritual path?"

"Everything I can think of, there are better ones out there, and there are also spiritual paths that I can't think of, but there are none... By the way, it seems more conservative out there, and the clothes women wear are very gorgeous, but... um..."

Zuo Lingquan didn't know how to describe it.

Shangguan Lingye was very smart, and when he saw Zuo Lingquan hesitated to speak, he realized that his meaning was not sexy enough.

"The underwear outside is indeed not as good-looking as Dadan's Huajianli. I heard from Jiang Yi, what kind of translucent socks are you going to get? This thing sounds flashy, but there is indeed nothing out there. What does it look like?"

Zuo Lingquan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. How could he have the nerve to explain things like suspenders and stockings to Shangguan Lingye? He shook his head and said:

"Jiang Yi, have you told me all this? I just thought about it casually and haven't started working on it yet."

Shangguan Lingye liked Huajian Li very much, but it really didn’t look good when paired with common trousers. She said:

"If you have an idea, just say it. You just have nothing to do. I can help you with your advice, and there are no outsiders."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan saw that the young woman and grandma were so insistent, so she could only raise her hand, collect a ball of rainwater from the window, and then shape it into the general shape of fishnet stockings on top of the small table:

"It's very close-fitting. The gauze-like fabric is very elastic and can stick to the skin. With my cultivation level, I can't make it that fine. I don't know if the empress can understand the meaning."

Shangguan Lingye looked at the condensed water socks. After thinking for a moment, he gently pulled up the skirt, revealing his bare feet and calves that were as clear as jade in the dim candlelight.

Zuo Lingquan's expression was slightly dazed, his eyes were surprised, but what surprised him even more was what was behind.

Shangguan Lingye didn't see any movement. The thin pants worn under the skirt began to change on their own, covering the snowy feet. The material of the fabric was also changing, from finely woven white cloth to gauze, which could The color of flesh is faintly visible.

"cough"

When Zuo Lingquan saw this scene, he almost choked on his drink and his face turned red. He sat upright and it was not easy to stare, but if he didn't look, it would be a bit concealing it.

After Shangguan Lingye finished his transformation, he leaned back, supported the tea couch behind his back with both hands, raised his two feet, swayed in the air, arched his toes, and asked:

"that's all?"

Although she was facing Zuo Lingquan from the side, and her skirt stopped at her knees and did not slide down to her legs, this enchanting posture, paired with the attire of a wealthy lady, felt like it could kill people.

Zuo Lingquan's concentration was very good, but there was a limit. He noticed that the wine was a bit overpowering, so he turned his eyes away and said with a smile:

"That's pretty much it. You can change the color to other colors. White is more suitable for a little girl..."

Shangguan Lingye's aesthetic sense was not bad. After looking at it, the fishnet stockings on his legs changed on their own and turned into colorful colors.

Tuanzi looked at it from the side, and when he saw this, he quickly shook his head and said "chichi~" twice, obviously feeling that the color was too earthy.

After Shangguan Lingye found that the color was too bright and inappropriate, the color of the fishnet stockings began to change again and turned into black.

It’s right this time!

"..."

Zuo Lingquan took a breath and hesitated to speak. He didn't know how to evaluate it. He only felt that this noble Princess Yan was more playful than Wanwan.

Shangguan Lingye turned on his toes, looked carefully for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction:

"Yes, it's quite seductive. You men understand women better. But this thing is similar to tulle. You can see everything. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to wear it while walking in the wind."

Zuo Lingquan quickly shook his head and said, "It's better not to wear Yu Feng Yu Jian. Just wear it at home and look at it."

Shangguan Lingye turned his head and said, "It won't work if you wear it at home. There's not much difference between wearing it under the skirt and not wearing it. Your idea won't work."

Zuo Lingquan estimated that the bottom of Shangguan Lingye's skirt had turned into fishnet stockings, and everything could be seen from the front. He didn't have the guts to run to the front and take a look, and he couldn't say anything about his underwear. He shook his head and said:

"Let's do this for now, wait until you think of it later. If you have any ideas, you can design it yourself. I am a man after all, so it is not appropriate to talk about these things."

Shangguan Lingye saw that Zuo Lingquan's expression was unnatural, and she was a little amused:

"I am eighty years older than you, and I am still the Crown Princess of Dayan. I am discussing the socks with you. Could it be that you still have evil thoughts?"

How can I be called a man if I don’t have evil thoughts? Do you know this is called teasing?

Zuo Lingquan admitted that he couldn't resist it and couldn't afford to offend Shangguan's grandma, so he could only sigh and said:

"I'm joking, I don't dare to have evil thoughts towards you. I just think your dress looks good. If I don't feel anything when I wear it, it just means the stuff is not good."

Shangguan Lingye raised the corner of his mouth: "You are quite strange. You can't feel anything in your bare feet, but you don't dare to look at them with socks on. Can you see anything here?"

As he spoke, he turned his feet around and rubbed the dumplings on the small table with his toes:

"Tuanzi, don't you think so?"

"grumble?"

Two feet in black fishnet stockings hung above the small table. Although the skirt was hidden, the scenery under the skirt could not be seen, but if the toes were a little further forward, they would probably be able to pick Zuo Lingquan's chin.

This behavior was completely criminal. Zuo Lingquan's blood pressure rose, and he turned his head and looked out the window:

"Your Majesty, let's have a drink. You are the Crown Princess of Yan, so being so approachable to me is beyond the bounds of the rules."

"According to the rules of the world, if you drink with me in the middle of the night, you are already treasonous. When you drink, you have to put aside your identity. The wine table is not big or small. You just want to be happy and comfortable. This is what you said."

Shangguan Lingye put away her beautiful feet and hid them under her skirt. She changed into a serious posture, picked up the wine bowl and shook it:

"Forget it, you keep thinking wrong, let's talk about business. The Nine Sects Alliance is over, what are you going to do?"

Zuo Lingquan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine bowl, clinked it, and talked about cultivation:

"When you follow the spiritual path, you have to go to the dark side. From now on, the main thing is to practice swordsmanship and complete the 'sword halves'..."

"One-half?"

"It means half a sword can defeat all kinds of magic."

"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it 'Sword Half'?"

"It's almost the same, you have to practice it anyway; in addition, the realm is also higher. There are still a few months before the year. After returning to Linyuan City, I will see if I can go to a place like Dongtian Paradise to retreat, and try to rush to Half a step into Youhuang, and then refined the water."

Shangguan Lingye looked more serious when he heard this: "We have refined the water essence, but we have to find the five gods. Are you sure you dare to bet?"

"I only seek to be the strongest, not immortality. If I don't dare, I'll be done with it. But now that we have water, where can we find the tree of the five elements?"

"As for the Five Elements Tree, if you can't find Qinglong and the Lord of the East of Jade Yaozhou, you have to go to Peach Blossom Pond to find the ancestral tree. It is said that that tree has a great chance and is related to Qinglong. If I can share some of the essence of my life with you, it should be It can also be used; but the essence of life is not an endless branch or seed. If you ask the ancestral tree for this, you don't have to go to the Lord of the East. After wood, there is fire..."

When Tuanzi heard this, he quickly spread his small wings and assumed the shape of a 'fat phoenix spreading its wings':

"Ji~!"

Shangguan Lingye looked at Tuanzi and his expression moved slightly:

"Maybe Huo can actually ask Tuanzi for it, and that would be a lot easier. Fire makes earth, go to Zhongzhou Sword Emperor City to find the Middle-earth Qilin. As long as you find it, you don't have to worry about the last 'gold'. The ancestor might be able to get it." I’ll give you a surprise and make you the strongest swordsman in Jiuzhou.”

Although Shangguan Lingye's idea is exciting, it is obviously a bit far-sighted; there are countless immortal heroes who have never encountered one of these in their lives, let alone five of them.

Zuo Lingquan thought for a moment and nodded slightly:

"These things can only be taken step by step. Let's talk about it first when we reach Half-step Youhuang. What are you going to do in the future? Will you continue to be in charge of the Demon Hunting Department?"

When Shangguan Lingye heard this, he raised his lips and said:

"I have had enough of staying there for a long time, and I have lost the motivation to practice. From now on, I plan to be a 'baby', someone who can stretch out my hands when I have clothes to wear, and open my mouth when I have food to eat."

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan blinked, not knowing why.

Shangguan Lingye picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped the corners of his lips:

"Boy, don't forget, when you overcame the tribulation for the first time, you promised to return a set of the Five Elements' origins to me. I'll pay you back the Water of the Five Elements today, and you have to find two copies of the remaining four; I'm going to give the Five Elements Water back to you. My destiny has all changed, so I'll go wild with you. Of course, I don't mind if you don't keep your word. Men, even if they talk a lot, no one can trust them when they actually do something."

"..."

You are no longer trying to pluck the goose, but you are preparing to let the goose learn cooking skills by itself, stew itself and serve it to you!

Zuo Lingquan opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything that was contrary to his promise, so he could only say:

"Opportunities depend on fate. Especially for such a big opportunity, I can't guarantee that I will get it 100%. If I really have such luck, I will definitely return it to the empress. If I really can't find it..."

Shangguan Lingye was very comfortable, half lying on the couch, with his hands supporting the side of his face:

"If you really can't find it, I will accompany you to attack and rebuild. Is that interesting to you?"

"..."

Zuo Lingquan had nothing to say, nodded slightly, and picked up the wine bowl:

"That's interesting. Come on, let's go."

Shangguan Lingye took the wine bowl, touched it with Zuo Lingquan, and said leisurely:

"If I had known that cultivation was so easy, I shouldn't have worked so hard before. Master said that I couldn't see through it, and it was true. Now I finally understand that I can cultivate immortality while lying down. This is called the life of an immortal..."

Zuo Lingquan's bitter wine entered his throat and his heart ached. He looked at the graceful young woman and grandma, thought for a while and said:

"To be successful in life, you must have all the fun. This is how cultivation should be, and that's why I can't see through it. Your Majesty's silk stockings are very pretty. How about I give you some advice?"

Shangguan Lingye shook the wine bowl and glanced at Zuo Lingquan:

"When you don't want to see it, it's okay if I show it to you; when you want to see it, something happens if I show it to you. This is a great principle of spiritual practice. I won't tell ordinary people, so you have to keep it in mind."

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you don't want to talk about cultivation?"

"You were the one who changed the subject first. If you don't want to talk, I should go back to bed?"

"Sigh... It's an honor for me to have your Majesty give me advice. Why don't you want to talk about it? Why don't you tell me, what other interesting things are there in practicing Taoism?"

"There are so many interesting things..."

Shangguan Lingye leaned on the small case, his eyes blurred, as if drunk but not drunk, and recalled a little:

"I forgot how long ago, there was a little craftsman over there in Tiandi City, and he came up with a 'self-walking donkey'. He claimed that it could allow mortals to easily travel hundreds of miles a day without needing spiritual energy or eating grass. When the news came out, all nine sects were I was alarmed; because this is inconsistent with common sense and is equivalent to creating something out of thin air, which is similar to the 'one' at the end of the road."

Zuo Lingquan was slightly startled, moved closer and asked:

"What's the result?"

"On the day the craftsman took out the thing, countless Taoist masters came to watch. The red cloth was lifted up and they found an iron frame with two wheels underneath. You can walk by stepping on it. Although a self-propelled donkey does not eat grass, But if you walk on foot, you will need three steamed buns to travel a hundred miles; you will be beaten badly because of your deception."

"Well... Actually, this is a talent. We shouldn't be so strict about the craftsmen's creative ideas."

"Maybe. Anyway, there is no shortage of talents in the cultivation path. If it is useful, it will be produced sooner or later. But there are too many things that are not available. There is also a fairy tailor in Taohuatan who made a set of robes that can be disguised according to the changes in the environment. It is quite mysterious. When it was just woven, the disciples of Taohuatan wore it to test the effect. When they were arranging with others, they were hit by water magic. Guess what happened?"

"How?"

"According to the changes in the environment, it will become transparent when it encounters water. At that time, thousands of people looked at it... puff~..."

The eyebrows were curved and the smile was charming.

"Tsk tsk, this thing is really useless."

"There is more..."

The candlelight was quiet and the cups were exchanged.

The lights and laughter came out of the window, and were covered by the drizzling rain curtain, and continued until dawn...

Thanks to the big brother [This book is really good QAQ] for the reward!
