The fairy is fierce

The courtyard was silent, and the warm yellow light in the study reflected the reflections of the three people on the window paper.

Shangguan Lingye leaned on the chess couch and looked at the strange-looking men and women opposite him, confused and asked:

"What are you talking about?"

Zuo Lingquan didn't say anything. He just wanted to see Qingwan again after a long separation and didn't want Qingwan to leave alone in the empty boudoir. He held Qingwan's wrist and said with a smile:

"It's nothing. I just left for a few months and finally came back. After chatting with Qingwan for a few words, I had to leave. I felt reluctant to let go."

Wu Qingwan sat sideways on the edge of the chess couch, twisting her wrist, but unable to free her big hand, she could only say:

"What's the reluctance? It's not like we can't talk tomorrow. It's getting late. You two should go to bed early. I'm afraid Miss Xie doesn't know you're back yet. I'll go tell her."

Shangguan Lingye couldn't agree to rest with Zuo Lingquan in front of Qingwan. He shook his head and said:

"What is the difference between day and night in spiritual practice? If he wants to chat for a while, let him talk. There is no rush for this moment."

"..."

Wu Qingwan opened her mouth and saw that Lingye didn't know the danger of the spring and jumped into the fire pit. She had nothing to say.

With a smile on his face, Zuo Lingquan turned around, picked up the chess case, and placed it on the tea table on the side, leaving the chess couch free; then he took three silk bags from the room and placed them on the chess pillows. The couch is on the window side.

Wu Qingwan had a strange look in her eyes. She sat a little further away, picked up a cup of tea from the tea table, sipped it carefully and remained silent.

Shangguan Lingye was leaning on the chess case, but when the chess case was pulled away, she naturally sat up. She looked at Zuo Lingquan who was busy back and forth inexplicably:

"What are you doing?"

"The chessboard takes up a lot of space, and I don't have anywhere to lean on it. Sitting is uncomfortable."

Zuo Lingquan placed three soft pillows along the window sill, leaned comfortably in the middle, and then motioned to the left and right:

"Lie down and talk."

"You quite enjoy it."

Shangguan Lingye usually likes to lean on each other, but he didn't show any embarrassment at this time. He leaned against the window and sat side by side with Zuo Lingquan. Since there was no topic, she thought for a while and asked:

"By the way, after you were kidnapped by Lord Peach Blossom, why did she make things difficult for you?"

Lord Peach Blossom is a good person, but he has a little temper. He wants to compete with the Shangguan Patriarch, and he never treats Zuo Lingquan badly.

Zuo Lingquan was behind the scenes, so naturally he would not say anything wrong about Lord Peach Blossom. He only briefly talked about Lord Peach Blossom's revolt and the ancestor's failure to keep the appointment, and then talked about the experience of overcoming the tribulation in Meishan.

Wu Qingwan was sitting on the edge of the tea couch drinking tea. She knew that if she leaned over, she would not stand up tonight, so she kept looking for an opportunity to escape. But when she heard that there were still a lot of Xiantao left, Zuo Lingquan took out the peach core to Shangguan. Lingye looked at it, but she still couldn't hold it back, put down the tea cup and came closer.

The peach pit of the fairy peach is not much different in shape from the ordinary peach pit, but the color is dark green with a dark luster, about the size of a baby's fist.

Shangguan Lingye held it in his hand and played with it. He could vaguely feel the soft power that nourished all things in it, and nodded slightly:

"It is difficult to find another such pure source of the Five Elements in the world. Even if Qingwan cannot be refined into his own life, it will be of great benefit to meditate and practice with it.

Wu Qingwan is the master of wood. She has a natural affinity for the five elements of wood, just like ordinary people like a certain weather and a certain color. When they encounter it, they will instinctively pay attention and come closer. It is precisely because they are attracted by the peach core. .

Wu Qingwan sat sideways next to Zuo Lingquan, took the peach core, held it in her hands and fumbled twice:

"It's true. Just holding it in my hand feels like a spring breeze. If I practice with it, I can get twice the result with half the effort."

Since they talked about cultivation, Zuo Lingquan naturally answered:

"How about giving it a try?"

Wu Qingwan's eyes froze as she admired the peach core. She just pretended that she didn't hear the nonsense, picked up the peach core and rubbed it on her cheek.

Shangguan Lingye said: "Practice is not about eating and drinking. It only takes two. If you want to benefit from it, you must at least practice in seclusion for some time to see the effect. What can you try here?"

Zuo Lingquan shook his head: "Didn't I read you the "Qing Lian Zheng Jing" before? It doesn't require retreat, it's simple and efficient, and you can see the results in a few hours."

"...?"

Shangguan Lingye didn't expect Zuo Lingquan to change the topic to this, so he hummed:

"What? You still want to practice the "Qinglian Sutra" with Qingwan here?"

Zuo Lingquan did not nod, but joked:

"I want to practice, but I'm afraid you'll be too shy to watch."

This method of provoking generals really hit Shangguan Lingye's weakness.

Shangguan Lingye really didn't dare to look, but how could she give in in front of Zuo Lingquan, and she was sure that Wu Qingwan would not dare to mess around, so she made a graceful gesture like a concubine and said disdainfully:

"Together you two are not as big as me. I have seen all kinds of storms and waves. What is there to be afraid of?"

"That's what you said."

"I...what happened to what I said?"

The more Wu Qingwan listened, the more something was wrong. She glared at Zuo Lingquan:

"Don't talk nonsense...eh?"

Before she finished her warning, Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and pulled her, causing her to stumble and lean against Zuo Lingquan's chest.

Zuo Lingquan showed his innocence and said seriously:

"Since Lingye doesn't mind, let's give it a try and see how effective this peach core is."

As he spoke, he unbuttoned a cloth button on the side of Wu Qingwan's skirt.

Qingwan's skirt was grand in size, and her moire skirt was very slim. The bulge was very tight, and a button of the cloth was opened. In an instant, a gap opened up on the skirt, revealing the cloud-white flowers and the fat-headed fish inside. .

"ah!"

No matter how calm Wu Qingwan's mind was, her face instantly turned red. She raised her hands to cover her clothes and said angrily:

"You brat, you..."

Shangguan Lingye's expression was stunned for a moment. He had no idea that Zuo Lingquan would dare to touch her in front of her. Her eyes were unhappy, and there was a faint sour taste in her eyes, and she said in a deep voice:

"Zuo Lingquan, are you drifting?"

Zuo Lingquan looked innocent, his hand touched Qingwan's lower back and hugged her to him:

"I don't have any other intention. I just want to test whether the peach core is beneficial to cultivation. Lingye, you are the best in Taoism. You can give me some pointers to see if there are any shortcomings."? ?

Shangguan Lingye felt ashamed and angry when she saw Zuo Lingquan talking nonsense seriously. She had only slept with Zuo Lingquan twice, so how could she have the ability to give advice on such things? She wanted to get up right away:

"Then you go ahead and practice. I haven't studied the "Green Lotus Sutra" and I can't give you any advice. I'm going out now."

Wu Qingwan knew Zuo Lingquan's temperament and knew that he couldn't run away. Hearing this, he immediately sold Lingye:

"Lingye has a higher level of Taoism and more experience than us. If you try it with her, I'm afraid the experience will be more real. It just so happens that Lingye hasn't learned it yet, so you can teach her. If there's anything wrong, I can tell her a few things. It’s a rule of thumb, right?”

Zuo Lingquan felt that Wanwan's words made sense, so he held Lingye's wrist.

How could Shangguan Lingye dare to do such a thing? She twitched her hands as if she was electrocuted and said on guard:

"Are you a demon? Believe it or not, I will throw you out right now?"

Zuo Lingquan said earnestly and thoughtfully: "Lingye, you have the highest moral standards. I just want to ask you to give me some advice on the exercises. Don't have evil thoughts about such a serious matter."

"I have evil thoughts in my heart? What kind of advice is this... eh?"

Shangguan Lingye refuted seriously, but before she could finish her words, she saw Zuo Lingquan holding her ankles, pulling her down, lying directly on the tea couch, and lifting up her skirt.

Shangguan Lingye looked very annoyed, but how could he really be cruel to his man? Seeing Zuo Lingquan starting to stalk him again, he naturally panicked and said in a deep voice:

"Don't be presumptuous, Qingwan is still here."

Wu Qingwan wanted to run away a long time ago, so she stood up and said:

"Yeah, I don't think it's suitable, so I'm going out first. You can call me after you have tried it."

Unfortunately, before she could stand up, she was pulled back by Zuo Lingquan:

"We agreed to practice the exercises, why did we run away again? Lingye, don't keep thinking in wrong ways. Well, this is Qinglian's serious method. You can try to practice the exercises according to the above..."

"I won't try! You really want to die, don't you? I...Oh~ stop making trouble, you've gone too far..."

tear apart

"Yeah you..."

"Ling Quan, why did you tear your socks off again? You told me that the cost is high, and practitioners should not be extravagant and wasteful...Lingye's legs are so white..."

……——

Dang Dang Dang

The crisp pipa tune echoed in the front garden wing, and the sound was intermittent. Without seeing the person, you can feel the absent-mindedness of the person playing the music.

Xie Qiutao was not a stupid girl. Although she could not see Zuo Lingquan, the doors and windows behind were closed and there was no sound. When she asked Tuanzi why, she understood that Zuo Lingquan had come back and was doing something that a little girl shouldn't know. .

Xie Qiutao was not surprised that Zuo Lingquan didn't come to say hello. As the saying goes, 'A long separation is better than a new marriage.' It is human nature for a man to go to his wife first when he returns home in the middle of the night. There is no reason why he should not care about his wife coming first to disturb the guests' rest.

But what was more embarrassing was that Xie Qiutao didn't need to rest, and he guessed what was going on in the backyard.

As a sweet and lovely little girl, Xie Qiutao felt strange in her heart. Even though she couldn't hear anything, she still felt like she was listening to the wall.

So after lying on the bed for a while, Xie Qiutao stood up gently and picked up the dumplings.

After all, Tuanzi is a phoenix, not a Pixiu. Hu Zhihai drank a lot of things and stuffed himself up. He was sleeping on the dressing table to eat when he was picked up and put on his shoulders. He raised his head in confusion:

"grumble?"

"I'm a little bored. Let's go out for a walk and buy you some delicious food."

"Ji~..."

No matter how full Tuanzi was, he would not refuse the next meal. He immediately regained his energy, rolled up and squatted on Xie Qiutao's shoulders, and looked back at the backyard in confusion.

Although Tuanzi couldn't see through it, he could feel the three people in the backyard falling together and struggling. The wet nurse was still pressed underneath, as if she was about to be beaten to tears. It couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"What's going on behind the scenes? Sister Shangguan is asleep, so there's no need to say hello."

"Chiji..."

"Don't worry, I'm smart, it'll be fine if I go out alone."

"grumble?"

Tuanzi was confused and said to himself: "Niaoniao is worried that something will happen to the wet nurse. You can run faster than a bird. What could happen to you..."

One person and one bird chatted across channels, and within a moment they walked out of the house and onto the streets of Feisha City.

It was past three o'clock, and the ordinary people in the city had gone to bed, but the lights were still bright. The main streets were full of Central Continent monks, 80% of whom were wearing swords. Their attire was also the common hats and cloaks in Central Continent. At first glance, they all looked like they were from the secular world. Martial arts conference.

Xie Qiutao has been staying in Feisha City these days. She has already figured out the city's environment and has arrived at a large restaurant on the main street.

Spiritual Valley cultivators can stay away from grains. Under normal circumstances, they will not waste time eating, but wine is an exception, especially in Zhongzhou where there are many sword cultivators. The "beauty, wine and sword" is what sword cultivators seek all their lives. Half of the sword cultivators are addicted to wine, and the other half drink less at first, but in order to fit in, they gradually develop a drinking bug and basically cannot find anyone who does not drink.

However, wine is just a pastime after all. Due to the scarcity of materials, it is difficult for Zhongzhou to cultivate a sect family that is good at brewing wine. The best wine in Yuyaozhou is still in the Nine Sects Peach Blossom Pool. The wine that Zhongzhou cultivators drink is basically worldly wine. The immortal aged wine with a little spiritual energy is extremely rare and can only be found in big places.

The restaurant that Xie Qiutao entered is the property of the Qi family. It sells the self-brewed "Qu Jianshi". The name is quite unique, but in fact it is just wine brewed from ordinary spiritual valleys. There is nothing special about it. It is only famous because there is no other restaurant around.

Xie Qiutao came here, of course, not to sleep in the long night, but to the restaurant to relieve her loneliness.

Ever since the last time that the ancestor Shangguan gave her the clue to open the dragon turtle's spiritual wisdom, Xie Qiutao has been paying attention to this matter and has been asking for news; this restaurant has good wine within a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are a lot of people going in and out of the sand sea recently. Most of them will come here when they arrive in Feisha City. If you want to ask for news, this is naturally the best place.

Because there are too many guests, Xie Qiutao did not go in, but just pretended to watch the fun, standing outside the window, listening to the storyteller who traveled around talking about interesting things in various parts of Zhongzhou, and also paying attention to the conversations of the drinkers.

The construction of Jianhuang City is too scattered. It can listen to Jiang Chengjian's orders on major matters, but the rest are all in charge of their own affairs. It is impossible to achieve full coverage of the Tiandun Tower and ferry channels like the Nine Sects; the inconvenient transportation has greatly restricted the transmission of information, and there is basically no news from the north.

Fortunately, the sand sea has been bustling recently, with cultivators from all over the country rushing here every day. If you wait patiently, you can still hear some things, but most of them are not nutritious. In these days, Xie Qiutao only found out that Caiyi Country is located in the north of Yuyaozhou and has left the desert. The country is not small, but it is in the bitter cold land of the north, the national strength is very weak, and the power of the immortals is unknown. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to finding out nothing.

People come and go in the restaurant. Xie Qiutao stood outside the restaurant alone for an hour or so, waiting for the dumplings until she was hungry, and then she saw three dusty cultivators coming and entering the restaurant.

The cultivators came here half to drink, and the other half to find someone to inquire about the situation in the sand sea.

When you chat with someone, you will most likely introduce yourself. After Xie Qiutao saw this team of casual cultivators sitting down, the leader called the restaurant servant and claimed to be from Caiyi Country, wanting to ask about the situation in the sand sea.

Seeing this, Xie Qiutao moved to the window and listened secretly.

The three casual cultivators were not very skilled, at most they were in the Linggu Valley. After asking about the situation, they discussed the arrangements for tomorrow and started to chat about random things, mostly about the rumors of treasure hunting in the secret realm. Only in the middle of the chat, they talked about a local incident in Caiyi Country:

"... There are many strange things in the world, so it is better to be careful. Before I came here, I heard that something went wrong in Yangshan. People went crazy and attacked others one after another. It seemed that there were demons at work. Several wealthy families were asking experts to exorcise demons. If you hadn't asked me to come, I would definitely have gone there to make a fortune..."

"With your little skill, if there were really demons at work, you would be sending yourself to death..."

"Alas~ If there were really demons at work, the Sword Emperor would have gone there long ago, and there would be no such a small fight. Although I don't have the ability to exorcise demons..."

"But there are many people who can make money by exorcising demons..."

"Hey, what you said..."

...

Xie Qiutao frowned when she heard the messy words.

The inheritance of the Xie family is to exorcise demons. Although she is not sure whether this is true or not, she is going to Caiyi Country. If it is on the way, it won't delay her to go there, so she kept it in mind.

After the chat, Xie Qiutao listened carefully for a while, until the three of them finished drinking and stood up, she took Tuanzi, who was hungry again, bought some snacks on the street, and returned to the house where she stayed...
