The fairy is fierce

The wind blows in the sea of ​​flowers, and the mellow fragrance of the wine spreads to all parts of the peach forest with the night wind.

The canopy of the tree covered the sky and the sun, and the beauty in spring clothes hooked her hand with the wine jar. She lay on her side on the wicker couch, her cheeks were flushed, and she was already drunk and unconscious.

The breeze ruffled the cold pool, and a woman in a gold skirt appeared silently under the peach blossom tree.

The woman first observed the breath of the beauty in spring clothes, and after making sure that she was not alarmed, her eyes moved to a peach hanging on the top of the tree.

The Peach Blossom Pond Ancestral Tree was planted by an expert before the Battle of Stealing Pills. It has a connection with Shenjun Meng Zhang. It can be said that every petal is a treasure of heaven and earth, and the branches can be directly used as natal objects; the Ancestral Tree You can imagine how precious the peaches and peach pits are. Lord Peach Blossom drinks heavily here all day long just to keep an eye on his most precious possessions.

The ancestral tree is an extraordinary tree. The flowering and fruiting cannot be inferred by common sense. If it can bear one fruit in ten years, it is because of the good feng shui of Peach Blossom Pond. When you are not lucky, it is common for it to bear no fruit for a hundred years. At this time, the whole big peach tree There are only four fruits hanging on it.

The peach that Shangguan Yutang was looking at was the same peach that Zuo Lingquan had seen. It was larger than the other peaches, and its skin was green and green. It was very eye-catching among the peach blossom trees. This change happened not long ago.

Shangguan Yutang knew that this was a great opportunity given to Zuo Lingquan by Divine Lord Meng Zhang. Taking one bite would easily increase his life span by a hundred years, and there would be no problem in growing an ancestral tree from the peach core. If it is used to refine it into a natal object, Probably the best natal seed that can be found in the world.

However, what troubles Shangguan Yutang is that the Gods and Lands do not think in human terms. They give the opportunity to grow directly on trees and let Zuo Lingquan take it by himself. They do not care about the division of territory and interpersonal relationships between people at all.

The ancestral tree is the ancestral property of Peach Blossom Pond. If it produces such a big peach under the eyes of Lord Peach Blossom, what is Zuo Lingquan going to do with it?

This is like a magic sword falling from the sky and landing at Shangguan Yutang's house. A young boy he knows comes to knock on the door and says that the sword belongs to him. Why should Shangguan Yutang give it to him?

According to the established rules of the spiritual path, things created by heaven are first come, first served. This ‘created thing’ includes things that are only nurtured by the gods and the earth.

Even if it's an opportunity given to you by God, it's not yours if you can't grasp it. How can you expect someone who is the first to get it to be kind enough to return it to you? If I don't beat you to death, it's because you are kind-hearted and moral.

Even if someone is kind-hearted and gives you the opportunity to pick peaches from their orchard, the price of this favor is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Especially Shangguan Yutang. Her relationship with Lord Peach Blossom is not very good, and she also has a relationship with Zuo Lingquan. If someone grabs this bargaining chip, she will not be able to bear the anger even if she opens her mouth. Shangguan Yutang estimates that the old witch will not even act as The fourth elder of the Nine Sects, he dared to mention it even if there were two men and two women.

Naturally, Shangguan Yutang would not agree to this request, nor would he give up this opportunity to anyone else.

The nine sects had made a covenant first, and if they dared to steal the things from the ancestral tree in Peach Blossom Pond, the covenant would be ruined. At this time, Shangguan Yutang could only take the next step and secretly pick the peaches away.

The opportunity belongs to Zuo Lingquan. As long as Lord Peach Blossom doesn't notice it, it means that she can't hold on. It makes sense. When the time comes, the two sides will argue and pay some money to settle the matter. The cost will be much smaller and it will not affect the overall situation.

After Shangguan Yutang observed it for a moment, he lightly hooked his fingers, trying to pick the peach silently.

It's just that Lord Peach Blossom looks drunk and alert, especially when he grasps Shangguan Yutang's pain point.

As soon as Shangguan Yutang made a move, Lord Peach Blossom, who was lying on his side, reacted. He quickly raised his head, looked in the direction of Shangguan Yutang, and said drunkenly:

"Shang...Shangguan Yutang, what do you want to do?...A monkey stealing peaches?"

Shangguan Yutang found that this move was difficult to implement and had put away the idea. She turned around and walked to the rattan couch and said calmly:

"Old witch, you are also an elder of the Nine Sects. Don't you feel ashamed to steal the blessings from God from the younger generation?"

Lord Peach Blossom supported the side of his face with the back of his hand and said lazily:

"Look at what you said, do you think I am you? I didn't say I wouldn't give it to him."

Shangguan Yutang stretched out his hand.

Lord Peach Blossom made a 'cut~' sound: "Why should I give it to you? The Peach Blossom Pond is mine, the tree is mine, and the peaches growing on the tree are naturally mine. If he wants it, he can always come to visit him. Right? Let you take it away. If you want to take it all for yourself, who in the Nine Sects can cure you? I can't trust you.

Shangguan Yutang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it interesting to make things difficult for a junior?"

"When did I make things difficult for him? I just asked him to come and get it. Could it be that I asked him to come and give it to me for free?"

Shangguan Yutang's eyes were displeased: "Old witch, don't think that I don't know what your intentions are."

Lord Peach Blossom stood up unsteadily and leaned on the rattan couch:

"What bad thoughts can I have? The ancestral tree is in my hands. I give him such a great opportunity. It's not too much to let him enter my peach blossom pond, right? The person is yours, and the peach must be given to him. I will let you do any good thing. Take it, what am I trying to do?”

"Don't dream. He can't be your disciple. You're a mediocre person, and you can't teach him anything."

"Who said you want him to be a disciple? There are many positions in the sect. As long as he is from Taohuatan, it will be fine. I can make him an elder, a sect leader, a guest minister, or a disciple's Taoist companion, but he really can't be mine. It’s okay to be a Taoist companion. Anyway, I like him, can you care about it?”

"you……"

Shangguan Yutang has always had a bad temper. If it weren't for the sake of the Nine Sects Alliance, he would have hung up this shameless old witch and beaten her. She said with cold eyes:

"The eight dignified masters can actually say the words of a junior Taoist monk. Do you want to make Taohuatan lose face... Hmm~..."

While Zhengqi Lingran was scolding him, an inexplicable and charming sound suddenly interrupted his words.

Shangguan Yutang's eyes suddenly changed. She finally stayed quiet for half a year, but she didn't expect that just as she left, the two of them started again. It was at this time; her face turned red for a moment, then returned to its original state in an instant, and then she became alert again. Color, turned to look at the sky, and said sternly:

"What master is causing trouble again?"

It's a pity that no matter how fast Shangguan Yutang reacts, there will be times when he overturns.

It is true that Lord Peach Blossom cannot beat Shangguan Yutang, but they are both eight Lords, and they are also top experts who can compete with each other.

Hearing the charming hum, the drunkenness in Lord Peach Blossom's brows instantly disappeared and turned into 'Oh my God! ' With a shocked expression, he looked at the woman in the golden skirt who was very close at hand, looking up and down:

"Yutang, why are you so excited? You're even humming in front of me. Is there a man hidden under your skirt?"

Even Shangguan Yutang's city and mind were also made to kill by the sudden dilemma. In order to maintain the image that she had maintained for many years, her expression did not change at all. Her eyes looked at the sky with disdain for all living beings, as if looking at a very tall statue. The terrifying demon:

"Don't be ridiculous, there's something spying in the sky."

"Don't be ridiculous. The ancestral tree is protected by God Meng Zhang. It silently spies on people covered by the tree canopy and does tricks on you. I didn't notice it at all. Who in the world has such great ability? Someone with such ability will Are you bored in front of me?"

Lord Peach Blossom didn't even raise his head. He leaned over and lifted up Shangguan Yutang's skirt, wanting to see if there was anything eye-catching hidden under the skirt, but there was nothing under the skirt except two long legs.

Shangguan Yutang's face darkened, he pushed down his skirt and said seriously:

"The world is so big and full of wonders. Don't underestimate the monsters in the world; the other party may be attracted by the peaches and deliberately distracts you and me. You stay here and don't move around. I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, his figure flashed into the sea of ​​clouds, full of murderous intent.

Lord Peach Blossom saw that Shangguan Yutang was so cautious, and became dubious. The main reason was that Shangguan Yutang had always been more masculine than men, and was insulated from matters between men and women. Lord Peach Blossom suspected that she liked women, and suddenly he snorted very charmingly. It was too abnormal, and it was inevitable. Something is disturbing my mind.

Thinking of this, Lord Peach Blossom also became serious. He raised his eyes to look at the peaches on the tree, and then felt the plants and trees in the surrounding world...——

"Xun'er, why don't you take off your clothes?..."

"Auntie, you really look like a vixen when wearing a tail..."

"Oh~ stop talking, you are bullying me no matter what, I agreed to everything, and you still catch me and won't let me go..."

It was a quiet night, and the boat was moored in the small lake, rising and falling gently with the breeze.

The lights were out, but the people in the boat obviously couldn't sleep.

Behind the window, Shangguan Lingye was leaning alone on the carved soft couch, holding a book in his hand. He seemed to be reading poetry and books by the moonlight at night, but his ears moved from time to time, listening to the inaudible movement outside the window, concentrating on his words. A white cat acting coquettishly next to her ignored him.

"Jingxun...you will make me angry if you laugh again..."

"Okay, I won't laugh, so don't cover your face..."

"Don't just look at it..."

"I'll just take a look..."

…

The words were very hard to hear, and even if the voice was suppressed extremely carefully, Shangguan Lingye could still hear it clearly.

Today's young people are having so much fun, and their hearts are not as old as before...

Shangguan Lingye sighed secretly, and then unconsciously remembered the incident of being 'forcibly kissed' at sea. His eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Perhaps because he felt that secretly listening to the wall was not in line with the style of a strong man, Shangguan Lingye turned over and read with his back to the window, but his ears were not very obedient. He always paid attention to the movements in the attic and imagined the scene there, making him Her face felt a little hot.

I thought that the quarrel between a few people would end after a while, but the movement in the attic was endless. According to this situation, the quarrel might not stop until dawn.

There was a magic circle on the boat to isolate the noise. Shangguan Lingye wanted to open it, but in the end he gave up. After all, listening to some noise was better than sitting here alone guarding an empty room. After eighty years of that kind of life, it was really Tired of it.

I don’t know if God felt Shangguan Lingye’s emptiness and loneliness. Just as she was tossing and turning, she suddenly felt a pair of prying eyes looking at her not far away.

!

Shangguan Lingye's thoughts came back to her senses instantly. Before she could turn her head to check, her body became stiff because she saw a golden dragon scale skirt in her peripheral vision, which was the master's skirt.

Shangguan Yutang stood in the boat like a ghost in golden clothes, with no expression on his face. He blocked out the 'noise' outside and said calmly:

"Lingye, what are you doing?"

Shangguan Lingye's expression was stiff, but he immediately regained his composure, stood up and nodded:

"Master, are you back from Fulong Mountain so soon? My soul was injured and I was just cultivating. I didn't notice it for a moment. Please forgive me, Master."

Shangguan Yutang suppressed the emotional fluctuations deep in her soul, and looked very serious with an expressionless face. She walked to the soft couch and sat down. She threw the white cat on the desk, picked up the picture album next to it, opened it and glanced at it. ! !

Shangguan Lingye's respectful expression froze again, just like a well-behaved girl whose mother discovered the pornographic book. She didn't know where the courage came from, but she hurriedly stretched out her hand to snatch the "Erotic Palace Jade Tree" from the master's hand. :

"Master, this..."

It's a pity that Shangguan Lingye is not a good person. If he can snatch things from his ancestor, he is no longer worthy of being an ancestor.

As soon as Shangguan Lingye raised his hand, he found that his body was frozen in place uncontrollably, and only his eyes could move.

Shangguan Yutang took the picture album and opened a page, frowning slightly, his expression was exactly the same as that of an elder who found that his apprentice's nephew did not learn well.

Shangguan Lingye's heart froze when he saw this scene. He couldn't speak and could only look away. He didn't dare to look at the ancestor's expression. If he could move, he would probably have started to admit his mistake.

The silence in the room was eerie.

After a while...

"Lingye, the world is divided into yin and yang, people are divided into men and women, and the union of men and women is the way of heaven. Monks like us don't need to avoid taboos. But these secular paintings that are not on the table can only kill time and have no merit; you really want to study the way of dual cultivation. , you can go to the Tie Clan Mansion and ask for some books on dual cultivation."

Shangguan Lingye almost suffocated to death. She felt that her image in the master's heart had been completely destroyed. She suppressed her embarrassment. After she found that she could speak, she quickly said:

"Disciple, I know I'm wrong. Well... I didn't want to study the way of dual cultivation. I just... I went to Sixiang Villa a few days ago and happened to come across this book. I was afraid that Zuo Lingquan would see that I was going astray, so I put it away... I took it out to read today because I want to criticize those secular literati..."

What kind of practice does Shangguan Patriarch do? With thousands of years of experience and having seen more people than most people have eaten, she didn't understand Lingye's predicament. She saw through it without saying anything, and her tone softened:

"Don't admit your mistake. Human emotions and desires are unavoidable. Forcibly suppressing them will only backfire and lead to obsession. It's good that you are like this now; but you must also grasp the 'measurement' of it. If you indulge in it and succumb to desire, you will also become obsessed."

"Disciples must obey the teachings."

Shangguan Lingye nodded like a dumpling.

After Shangguan Yutang finished teaching his disciples, he threw the books aside and ordered:

"Go and call Zuo Lingquan. I have something to say to him."

"Um?"

I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to call Zuo Lingquan at this time...

Shangguan Lingye didn't feel comfortable going over to call for someone. His heart turned slightly and he said softly:

"Zuo Lingquan is in the attic outside. Master can just go there, why bother to say hello to him."

Shangguan Yutang just wanted Tang Jingxun to stop messing with her, and didn't want others to know that she could "feel the same thing", so he asked Lingye to beat the mandarin ducks.

Seeing Lingye kicking the ball back, Shangguan Yutang said calmly:

"How virtuous and capable is he, and he needs me to come to see him in person?"

Shangguan Lingye thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. There was no reason for the ancestor to run to see Zuo Lingquan.

However, Zuo Lingquan almost got lost overseas. It was not easy to come back and reunite with his family. It would be unreasonable to ask people away at this time. Shangguan Lingye hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Zuo Lingquan, Jiang Yi and the others have been separated for many days. It is not easy to get together. If the matter is not urgent, why don't we let him come to visit the master tomorrow morning?"

Shangguan Yutang is in a hurry now.

She felt like she was being touched right now, and she didn't even want to imagine what her reaction would be if the two of them accidentally clashed with each other tomorrow morning.

But Lingye's words also make sense. If you keep interrupting, it will only be counterproductive over time.

Speaking of this, Lingye would inevitably notice something strange if he tried to force someone to do so. Shangguan Yutang considered it for a moment and said:

"Lingye, come here and sit down, I'll treat your injury."

"oh."

Shangguan Lingye naturally had no doubts about this and sat down next to the soft couch. As a result, the master raised his hand and tapped her forehead, and she softened and lost consciousness, falling into a dream.

Shangguan Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, a strange blush appeared on his face, and he quickly suppressed it. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the attic, pretending to be out of sight, and began to seriously regulate Shangguan Lingye's soul...——

The plum blossoms bloom before hundreds of flowers, and spring comes only in the world.

It is nearly May, spring has entered summer, and the season of snow-like plum blossoms has long passed; but the flowers and trees on the mountain, like the people on the mountain, often forget time. In the corners of Jiuzhou, there are always a few that are all hot in the world and I am alone. Cold place.

In the far north of Jiuzhou, thousands of miles of frost has frozen the earth. Apart from the flying snow and frozen soil, no living thing can be seen as far as the eye can see. This is a place where even lonely ghosts will not come.

But at the end of thousands of miles of frozen soil, there stands a snow-capped mountain towering into the clouds. On the top of the mountain is a magnificent building. The architectural style is so ancient that it has long been lost. The 'Yin Yang Fish' emblem, which has been forgotten by the Jade Yaozhou monks, is engraved on On the wall of the tall building on the top of the mountain, from a distance, it looks like the ruins of an ancient sect abandoned at the end of the world.

Hou Yushu, the Four Elephant God, sat on the back of a giant bird with a pale face, looking at the ancient sect that seemed to be at the end of the world, with a look of confusion in his eyes. He felt very familiar, but had never heard of it at all.

It is familiar because although the buildings on the mountain are ancient, their layout is very similar to that of the contemporary Nine Sects, especially the ‘Zongmen Emblem’. The format is exactly the same as the contemporary Nine Sects’ emblem, only the pattern is different.

The layout of the sect is affected by the historical inheritance of the major immortal families. For example, the first generation of ancestors likes to live in the back mountain, and then the back mountain is the most noble place; if a certain ancestor of Zhongxing erected a stone tablet to warn the younger generations, the descendants of the future generations will definitely inherit the sect. I will never forget that this has resulted in the different layouts of the major immortal sects in the world, with almost no duplicates.

The sect layouts of the nine sects in the south are generally similar, because they all come from the same origin and were built with the help of Fulongshan. Once the sect layout is set, it will not be changed randomly, and normal sects will not bully their masters and destroy their ancestors. ', to imitate the layout of other people's sects.

Hou Yushu could confirm that the sects on the Snow Mountain had a great connection with the Nine Sects, but he had never heard of the immortal sect with the yin-yang fish as its emblem. The only explanation was that this ancient sect was stealing elixirs. It existed before the World Destruction War and had connections with the current Nine Sects. In the end, it moved to this end of the world for unknown reasons.

The giant bird was more than ten feet long, and there was an old man on its back to guide the way. The old man seemed to be aware of Hou Yushu's doubts, and said:

"Scholar, do you know the flower that blooms earlier than the peach blossom? What kind of flower is it?"

"Chunlan?"

"Earlier."

"Wanmei?"

The old man probably hadn't chatted with anyone for a long time, so he was chatty. He laughed when he heard this:

"Yes. It's a pity that the younger generations of Yuyaozhou now value peach blossoms because of the Peach Blossom Pond, and few people value plum blossoms. According to the old man, in Yuyaozhou back then, because of a man whose surname was Mei, he also liked plum blossoms. Plum blossoms rank first among flowers in Yuyaozhou. People in the mountains like to follow the trend and plant a few trees around the cave. When Shangguan Yutang first traveled to Yuyaozhou, he built a hilltop as a cave because there was no place on the mountain. Planting plum blossoms, he was called a 'foreign bumpkin' by the monks who were looking for trouble..."

These stories cannot be heard in Jiuzong today.

Although Hou Yushu abandoned the bright and secretly joined the Youying alien tribe, the concept that had been rooted in his heart since he was a child still made him afraid to call Lord Linyuan by his name. He asked curiously:

"Has Ancestor Shangguan ever encountered such a thing? What was the result?"

"What else can we do? Shangguan Yutang's violent temper is unknown to everyone in Jiuzhou. Those monks who didn't have the courage to look at him were beaten until they knelt down and begged for mercy. The master refused to accept it and came to find a place to kneel together; the leader and the ancestor I was alerted and came, but I still knelt down and staged a show of 'four generations under one roof'. The Nangong family, which is the lineage of the discipline elders of the Iron Clan, is inherited from that unlucky sect, which is a blessing in disguise. "

Hou Yushu was speechless for a moment and sighed:

"I have never heard of these allusions before. I didn't expect that Shangguan Ancestor would reach the sky and walk away sideways at that time, which makes people have to accept it."

"At that time, there were many experts, and Shangguan Yutang was indeed powerful, but he had not gone sideways, otherwise he would not have had disputes with others over the hilltop; the dispute arose because of plum blossoms, and in the end the senior who liked plum blossoms was also It attracted me, and I admired Shangguan Yutang very much. It was because of this passion that Shangguan Yutang established a foothold in Yuyaozhou, and finally followed suit and planted plum blossoms. "

When Hou Yushu was young, he traveled to nine sects and went to all places. After hearing this, he recalled for a moment and said doubtfully:

"If this is true, the plum blossoms will not be removed after they are planted. But I have been to Yinheng Mountain before, and there seems to be no plum blossoms on the mountain. Is there an allusion to this?"

The old man raised his eyes and gestured to the snow-capped mountains ahead:

"It's not like there's any allusion. If you really want to know, you can just ask yourself when you see Ancestor Mei later."

"...??"

Hou Yushu expressed disbelief and looked at the snow-capped mountains not far away:

"That ancestor is still alive?"

"Stealing the pill almost destroyed Yuyaozhou. With such a big movement, monks from all nine continents came to help. Now there are not only the three elders of the nine sects who are still alive; Jiang Chengjian of Sword Imperial City, the ancestors of the major immortal families in other continents, and even The seniors above us all contributed a lot back then, it’s just a matter of more or less.”

"Since Ancestor Mei has experienced the battle of stealing pills and is a local monk in Yuyao Continent, why would he still join in..."

What Hou Yushu wanted to say was obviously, 'Why do you still join the evil cult?' But he had already come here, so it was difficult to say this.

The old man understood what Hou Yushu meant and turned around and said:

"Do you think you are an evil heretic?"

"I'm not. I never kill innocent people indiscriminately. I just want to seek justice for my deceased wife. I don't think Fulongshan is at fault, but there is a blood feud. I can't just write it off just because I was right."

"That's fine, I kill people like crazy, but my sins are in this generation and my merits will be in the future. So what if I'm evil?"

…
