The fairy is fierce

"Wan'er, are you tired?"

"Eager...anxious to coax baby Lingye?...Huh?..."

"Hey, what are you talking about? I'm just afraid that you will be tired..."

"Not tired.

"real?"

As the morning light dawned, incense filled the room, and a silk futon was placed between two ornately decorated bronze cranes.

Zuo Lingquan sat on the futon with a smile on his face, practicing seriously.

Wu Qingwan's long hair was spread on her back, and she was sitting face to face with Zuo Lingquan, also practicing; she was hugged around the waist and couldn't move left and right, only up and down.

Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, you can leisurely see the Nanshan Mountain.

Living in the paradise-like Peach Blossom Pond, although the doors and windows are closed and Nanshan Mountain cannot be seen, this kind of leisurely and comfortable life still makes people trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Although the pastoral scenery is good, after experiencing it for a long time, Niu and Tian will have to suffer first.

Wu Qingwan's cow was borrowed by her niece, but it could not be moved away by an unrelated outsider, so she wanted to put the cow down to prevent it from being dishonest and helping others to plow the land.

It's a pity that the cattle were carefully cared for in the past and fed to make the cattle a little strong. They couldn't withstand the paddy fields and dry land, and they were defeated first in the end.

"Forget it, I see how pitiful you are, go ahead, go ahead, you have no conscience..."

"I'm really not in a hurry..."

"Let's go, let's see you're upset, don't disturb me; I still want to go out for a walk today..."

"It's still early..."

"roll!"

Bang

The door is closed.

Zuo Lingquan, who had just put on his clothes, was kicked out. He stood there shaking his head and chuckling. Without provoking the thin-skinned Qingwan any more, he went back to his room to wash up.

It was just dawn, and some disciples could be seen walking through Peach Blossom Pond in the distance. The house at the foot of the mountain was relatively quiet, and no one was disturbing them.

After Zuo Lingquan tidied up, he went to the other side to see what the Dowager Empress was doing.

The result is self-evident. If he can knock on the door at night and sit alone until dawn, he can give Zuo Lingquan a good look. It is probably because his daughter's family is stupid.

Under the morning light, the doors and windows of the bamboo building were closed, and there was no sound at all. At the edge of the empty terrace, Tuanzi stood blankly on the fence, looking at the peach blossom forest in front of him, doubting the birds.

So love disappears right?

Last night, Tuanzi was knocking on the bowl and waiting for food in the house. Finally, when the wet nurse came back, she started to act cute and eat and drink as usual.

As a result, the wet nurse was feeding well, but she asked out of nowhere:

"Tuanzi, do you like me more or Jingxun more?"

Do you still need to ask this question?

My mother-in-law has asked her many times, and Tuanzi said “I like them all” without hesitation.

But the wet nurse then asked: "If we live together in the future, who do you think is older between me and Tang Jingxun?"

I've encountered this problem before, and Tuanzi was confused on the spot and couldn't understand.

"When we are together, do I care about her, or does she care about me?"

This time Tuanzi understood.

In Tuanzi's eyes, even the King of Heaven can't control his own mother when he comes. The ancestor Shangguan has been trained to obey orders honestly, how can you possibly control her?

Then Tuanzi slept soundly, and was shaken awake before dawn, and was thrown out to let him go out to look for food. He also said that the early bird catches the worm.

Why eat insects when you can eat fish? Are there enough dried fish tubes as promised?

Judging from Tuanzi's many years of survival experience, he had pissed off the nanny, and he couldn't figure out how. But judging from past experience, he had to stand here for a long time, waiting for the nanny to change her mind.

Seeing Zuo Lingquan approaching, Tuanzi quickly flew down, spread his wings and chirped, seemingly talking about the inexplicable encounter yesterday.

Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and touched Xiaotuanzi, took out some spiritual fruits and placed them on the stone. Then he jumped up to the terrace on the second floor and knocked on the door.

dong dong

There was no response from inside, but the door opened on its own.

In the room, Shangguan Lingye got a beauty chair from somewhere and leaned on it lazily, holding a book in his hand and a plate of melon seeds next to him. He was eating melon seeds without raising his eyebrows.

Zuo Lingquan raised his eyes and saw that Shangguan Lingye's clothes had changed a bit. He was still wearing a phoenix skirt, but the stockings around his ankles were gone and replaced by light silk pants, which were completely covered.

Although her appearance is still beautiful and charming, she lacks a bit of that unnatural charm, which naturally makes her look a bit pity.

Zuo Lingquan straightened his clothes, entered the room with a calm look, and said softly:

"Lingye..."

"Did you call me Lingye?"

Shangguan Lingye's face was expressionless, and his eyes pointed at the pile of files on his desk:

"Have a night's rest. Are you comfortable? Go and approve those cases if you have nothing to do."

Zuo Lingquan looked at the small mountain of files and wondered where such a big case could come from so early in the morning. He spread his hands slightly.

Shangguan Lingye's eyes darkened slightly: "If you don't want to move, pay me back what you owe me now, and I'll go back to Dayan; there are people waiting for me in the Dowager Palace, so I'll be more comfortable than here."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan could sense that Shangguan Lingye was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything at the moment. He sat down behind the desk, flipped through the files, and said softly:

"I was reckless yesterday. At night, my queen came knocking on the door..."

"Who knocked on your door?"

"Well……"

"Hurry up and finish the case, and finally come to Taohuatan to exchange experiences. After you are done, I will tell Taohuatan that you will take the Qi training disciples to patrol the mountains."

"Mountain patrol?"

"What? If you are a good person, you can't bear this hardship? Who didn't practice it by digging herbs in the mountains?"

Zuo Lingquan could see that Shangguan Lingye was deliberately angry with him, so he nodded lightly:

"How could that be? I can just see the local customs and practices of Taohuatan. What will the Queen dowager do later?"

"I'm going to see the new robes of Taohuatan. I heard that a Qingluan Huayu has just been released. The style is extremely beautiful and limited, with different colors and styles. Half of the famous fairies from the Nine Sects are here. They are all beautiful and speak highly of you. It's a pity that you have something to do later and can't go."

"Really? I'm not very interested in such occasions. Otherwise, the clothes will be on my account, and you and Qingwan will go and pick a few pieces?"

Shangguan Lingye turned a page of the album and said calmly:

"It's not that I don't have money. Do I need you to send me money? Just patrol the mountains honestly. When those fairies ask about you, I will say that you don't like women and look down on their vulgar women, so I will help you refuse."

"The Queen still understands me."

"Tsk"

Shangguan Lingye saw that Zuo Lingquan was not annoyed at all, and he no longer had the interest to talk nonsense. He turned over and lay on the beauty couch, no longer paying attention to Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan smiled, opened the file on the table, saw the dense and tiny handwriting on it, and twitched his mouth slightly. He picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then twitched his mouth again.

The pile of files on the table were not the things that had just been reported last night, but trivial cases that had been shelved for many years. The chief officer was too lazy to deal with the trivialities, and even the parties involved might have forgotten about them.

"A female cultivator passed by the river and went for a walk. Her clothes were stolen by an idler. She didn't dare to do anything to the mortal, so she reported it to the government..."

"A casual cultivator apprentice refined Yang Qi Dan, but his skills were not good and the product was defective. It was stolen and sold to the secular world. After taking it, Yang Qi was like iron, and it didn't go away for half a month...didn't go away?...The people reported it to the government, saying that it was a fake medicine..."

"The big gentry in Yunzhou invited a cultivator to sit in the gambling house and spent a lot of money. Unfortunately, the dice cups in the gambling house had a barrier effect. The cultivator had no choice but to guess blindly, and the result was... winning twelve games in a row?!...The gambling house was angry and reported to the government, accusing the cultivator of cheating with secret methods..."

Zuo Lingquan tilted his head and looked for a long time, and asked:

"How should these messes be judged?"

Shangguan Lingye licked his finger with the tip of his tongue, turned over a page of the picture book, and said casually:

"There is a reference file next to it. You can slowly look for it yourself. If you can't find it, ask me again.

Zuo Lingquan looked at a large pile of Books, nodded slowly, suddenly realized how hard Jiang Yi worked to help deal with affairs.

Although the matter was simple, Zuo Lingquan did not perfunctorily. After reading it carefully, he wrote down his opinions and put them on the other side.

Shangguan Lingye was eating melon seeds beside him. He seemed to be cultivating leisurely, but his eyes were obviously a little wandering. He wanted to say something several times, but swallowed it back when he reached his lips.

When it was bright, Shangguan Lingye still couldn't speak, so he simply got up and took Qingwan to visit the Xianjia Market, and took Tuanzi, who was standing outside pretending to be pitiful, but didn't take Zuo Lingquan.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't follow him shamelessly. After watching Shangguan Lingye leave, he continued to help deal with things in the house. As for the afternoon patrol, he didn't go, because it would take several days to deal with the files on the table, and there were new files during the day. The sect sent a message that she had to keep borrowing materials and reviewing them according to the rules, and she didn't even have time to get up...

On the other side, under the ancestral tree.

The sun was shining brightly by the lake, and under the tree was a cool shade. A charming woman in a dark green spring dress was drunkenly leaning on the rattan couch, one shoe hooked on her toes, swaying in the air, looking at the big peach in the dense tree canopy, a little worried.

The Peach Blossom Lord was born before the battle of stealing pills. The reason why she was not an elder was that she was still young during the war and was protected in the rear and did not contribute.

I vaguely remember that at that time, she liked to lie under the tree like this, waiting for the peaches on the tree to grow up.

The master said that when the peaches grew up, she would eat them, and she would become very powerful and could fight the phoenix with Shangguan Yutang, the fierce woman.

It's a pity that she waited and waited until many years after the reconstruction of the Nine Sects, and the peaches on the tree were completely ripe; she also became a member of the Nine Sects. As the eternal second among the female cultivators, no matter how much benefit she has brought to the people, it is just icing on the cake of prosperity, and her prestige can never be compared with that fierce woman who helped people in troubled times.

Why did she go against Shangguan Yutang? In addition to the reason that they are all women, why can you be the biggest?, there are many other reasons. Anyway, she cannot suffer a loss and give in in front of Shangguan Yutang.

But this big peach on the tree really stumped the Peach Blossom Master.

Knowing that Shangguan Yutang and Zuo Lingquan have a close relationship, she doesn't want anything for free. Isn't she a silly and sweet girl who is easy to bully?

It's not okay not to give. The Peach Blossom Master knows Shangguan Yutang's temper. If her junior gets the opportunity and falls into Shangguan Yutang's Yutang Palace, whether Shangguan Yutang gives or not, the original intention will not be because the relationship between the two is not good; if she vents her personal grudges with Shangguan Yutang on the junior, the nature will change.

So I can only think of a way to make Zuo Lingquan respect her and put her on the same level as Shangguan Yutang. This opportunity is for my younger generation, not for Shangguan Yutang.

After living for so many years, Taohua Zunzhu has seen through the world, and he knows that the friendship between people depends on the accumulation of time, not just one sentence. You can't trust your back to the other person with one or two words of assurance.

Once you make friends with someone for a purpose, it is definitely not a true friend. The more carefully you plan, the less sincere your heart is.

To make friends with each other, the simplest way is to share weal and woe, but Taohua Zunzhu is the master of a place, and he can't let go of his status and travel around with Zuo Lingquan to exorcise demons.

Even if she could let go of her status, the result could only be that she would slap everyone in front of her, from the main peak of the barren mountain to the shore of the North Sea. Zuo Lingquan carried a basket on his back, picking up things along the way, and did not dare to get close, fearing that he would be killed by the aftermath. How could this settle a friendship of sharing hardships?

When the Peach Blossom Lord was frowning, a fragrant breeze suddenly blew from the side of the pond, and a group of petals fell under the ancestral tree, condensed into a human form, and bowed respectfully:

"Greetings, ancestor."

When the junior came over, the Peach Blossom Lord still did not put away his drunken appearance, but turned his head and asked:

"Huazhu, is there anything wrong?"

"There are some rumors in Jianhuang City, saying that a burial place of immortals was found in the sand sea, which seems to be the place where the ancient demon Wu Yezi was in seclusion; I don't know whether the rumors are true or not, but many people are spreading them."

The Peach Blossom Lord frowned slightly and sat up.

In the contemporary practice of Taoism, many people have achieved immortality, but no one has achieved eternal life.

When the time is up, many cultivators will find a place to close the gate of life and death. If they fail, it will naturally become a place of burial. There are many opportunities left there. Some cultivators even leave their skills to avoid having no one to inherit their life's learning.

Over the past thousands of years, all kinds of remote places in the Nine Sects have been dug up by cultivators, and it is rare to encounter such a good thing; Zhongzhou is too desolate and sparsely populated, so there are many such rumors, but it is still a rare thing to dig up a famous immortal giant in history.

The demon Wu Yezi was a tyrant who dominated Zhongzhou thousands of years ago. He often came to the south to burn, kill and plunder. He was chased by the elders of Taohua Zunzhu and fled into the Zhongzhou Sand Sea, known as the Dead Sea, and disappeared. The most notable feature is that he brought a fairy sword; because fairy weapons are too difficult to find, this person has always been remembered.

Lord Taohua recalled for a moment and said:

"I heard from my teacher that Wu Yezi's sword was given by the black turtle in the north, and it was a natural immortal weapon. It is reasonable that after the master dies, the immortal weapon of this level will go to find it by itself if it meets a good owner. It may not be found in the grave. Even if it is in the grave, it is not as good as the original owner, and the immortal sword will not look down on it and will not come out..."

Madam Huazhu responded: "Yes, but Zuo Lingquan's swordsmanship has a chance to be favored by the immortal sword, and he is also water-friendly, so he may have a chance to get it..."

Lord Taohua The master thought for a while and said, "No. Zuo Lingquan has already refined the water essence. Shangguan Yutang must want to give his sword to Zuo Lingquan. If he gets the black water, it will be his concubine's sword. I showed him the way, and he found the fairy sword but took it as a concubine..."

"..."

Madam Huazhu obviously understood the old ancestor's temperament, and did not dare to sigh. She said seriously:

"Well... I think that the burial place of Wu Yezi has not been found yet, and the fairy sword may not be there, and Zuo Lingquan may not get it there. The old ancestor is so far-sighted, well... ”

The Taohua Master was a little drunk, and after thinking about it, he fell on the couch again:

"What else are you talking about? Are you trying to make me happy?"

Madam Huazhu shook her head and said softly: "Didn't the ancestor want to win over Zuo Lingquan? What I mean is, tell him the news in the name of the ancestor and let him go to Zhongzhou to try; if it succeeds, it will be the best, and he will remember the ancestor's kindness. If it doesn't work, it will be a wasted trip. If he encounters trouble, the ancestor will show his power and help him out, which will be a greater favor. "

The Taohua Master considered it and wanted to Agree, and suddenly feel something is wrong:

"This news fits Zuo Lingquan too well. I feel he has a great chance as soon as I hear it... Zuo Lingquan's opportunities come too frequently. Although he is lucky, you and I, as bystanders, cannot be careless. Remind him that opportunities and dangers coexist. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Come back when you see that things are not going well. Sometimes the difference between life and death is just to reach out and pick up an extra white jade coin."

"Yes."

Taohuatan is one of the nine sects. There are not only peach trees near the sect, but also various immortal facilities.

Like other sects, a large city was built on the plain a hundred miles east of Taohuatan. Next to it is the ferry port Yinlin Port. Because it is the place where raw materials are produced, the ferry traffic is very dense, and most of the cultivators are also concentrated here.

Shangguan Lingye said that he came to shop for clothes, which was not a joke. Taohuatan is famous for farming and weaving. Various robes are unique in the nine sects. The female cultivators of the sect basically only wear clothes produced in Taohuatan.

However, the fairies gathered to buy, which was just a joke of Zuo Lingquan. Really famous fairies would not go so far by themselves. They would deliver the goods to the door or send people to choose. Only female cultivators who happened to pass by would go shopping in the city.

Yuzhilou is the property of Taohuatan Sect. It only receives female cultivators of some status. The clothes sold there are all exquisitely made. Although they are flashy and not effective, and expensive, the high price is sometimes not a disadvantage. As long as it is beautiful and unique, there will always be female cultivators with money to come to the door.

Wu Qingwan likes beautiful clothes, but she can't bear to spend a lot of money to buy a dress that looks good but is useless. She has been following Shangguan Lingye to help her find it.

Tuanzi also stood at the window, pointing with his wings. It seems that he has gone out to buy clothes with Tang Jingyan before.

Shangguan Lingye's expression is no different from the past, but his mind is obviously not on the clothes.

Wu Qingwan roughly knew Shangguan Lingye's current mood. She didn't let Zuo Lingquan leave last night because he was a man with a principled attitude. If she chased him away to coax him because someone knocked on the door, it would be too humble. After entering the door, she would have to get up and serve tea and water to him.

But in her heart, she didn't mean to stop the two of them. Seeing Shangguan Lingye was absent-minded, Wu Qingwan said:

"Did the queen knock on the door last night?"

Shangguan Lingye knocked on the door, but he didn't want to disturb them. He was angry, so he deliberately scared them. When Wu Qingwan mentioned it, she chuckled:

"I knocked. I wanted to talk to Zuo Lingquan about something, but I realized that the time was not right, so I left."

"Lingquan wanted to go to find the queen, but at that time... Alas, the immortal was too drunk. I was drunk and rolled around beside him, not letting him leave. He was actually worried about you..."

Shangguan Lingye was not angry about this at all. It was just that he was impulsive yesterday and mustered up the courage to confess at the door, but he didn't say it. He didn't know how to face it after holding back his courage.

Seeing Wu Qingwan taking the responsibility on herself, Shangguan Lingye shook his head and said:

"I am not related to him, what is there to worry about. You are young, it is normal that you can't stand the alcohol, don't blame yourself for it."

"I am just afraid that the queen will be angry with Lingquan."

"How could that be? I just tricked him into helping me handle official business. Sister Qingwan, don't think too much."

Sister...

Wu Qingwan blinked her eyes. Shangguan Lingye occasionally called her sister Qingwan before, and it didn't sound like anything, but today it sounded a little awkward for some reason.

In terms of age and cultivation, Shangguan Lingye is older than her. The only place where she is older is her chest. She can't use this to judge by seniority. She can only smile and say:

"The queen looks younger than me. It's weird to call me sister. Just call me Qingwan directly."

Shangguan Lingye smiled and didn't say much.

On the windowsill, Tuanzi couldn't understand the inexplicable conversation between the two women. In line with the principle of talking less and eating more, he looked out the window and looked at the prosperous city.

However, when he looked at it, he suddenly saw a ferry slowly rising into the air at the end of his vision. On the edge of the deck, a little girl was lying on the fence bored, with her face supported by her hands, looking at the gradually shrinking city.

"Chi?"

Tuanzi felt a little familiar, tilted her head to look, and then raised her wings and pointed.

Shangguan Lingye didn't understand the bird language, came to the front, glanced outside, and didn't find anything worth noting. Finally, his eyes stopped at a shop selling spiritual beast rations.

"Do you want to change your taste?"

"Chi ji..."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you later?"

"Chi?"

"Don't want it?"

"..., chi!"
