Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 284 Here we go again

When there is no grand meeting, there are only a few people in the Iron River Valley of Tiechu Mansion. The round building in the center where the nine volumes of books are stored is even more deserted. There are only eight towering statues standing in all directions of the round building.

The bright moon is faint in the sky.

The silver moonlight shone on the statue and the old bluestone floor tiles. There was no light or fire in the large round building, and naturally there was no one.

But as a gust of fragrant wind blew from the north and landed on a female statue, a voice sounded in the empty and lonely round building:

"I've already told you that I won't interfere with your affairs, so why did you call me here? You don't take my words seriously..."

His words were impatient and filled with drunken laziness, so much so that the statue's face seemed to be slightly flushed in the moonlight.

On the square in the center of the round building, there were only the reflections of the eight statues. The statues were motionless, but the shadows on the ground seemed to come alive. You could even vaguely see the traces of flowing robes and long hair.

The statue next to Lord Peach Blossom is Lord Fulong Chen Chaoli. After hearing Lord Peach Blossom’s words, he said:

"Now that the covenant has been concluded, we must act according to the agreement. It is related to the overall situation of the nine sects. The eight lords must be present; you may not listen or speak, but you must come."

The nine sects are allied with each other, and normally they only meet once every ten years, but this is not a hard and fast rule. If there is any emergency, the heads of each sect will also meet privately to discuss countermeasures, just like now.

Lord Peach Blossom knew the rules of the Nine Sects, but she was angry and complained casually because the Third Elder ignored his old feelings a few days ago.

Lord Peach Blossom was reclusive and had not appeared on such occasions for hundreds of years. He knew that what we were talking about today was more important, so he stopped making jokes and asked:

"We called everyone here today. What's the big deal? Huajunzhou fell?"

The round building is in Tiechu Mansion, and the statue of Shangguan Ancestor naturally takes the center stage. She ignored Lord Peach Blossom and said in a hollow voice:

"Everyone is here, let's start."

After Chen Chaoli waited for everyone to calm down, he said:

"In recent years, strange things have happened frequently in Yuyao Continent. High-level monks have defected one after another. This year alone, there are more than ten monks. The Youying alien tribe has entered the nine sects to recruit people. It is like entering an uninhabited land, and the buildings are empty. I won't find out until later...

"...Last year, we made a surprise attack on the barren mountain to steal the Demon God's stolen pill; this year, Mei Jinshui, one of the Four Saints of Youying, even came to Yuyaozhou in person to 'reminisce about the past' with us. If this continues, next year we will find out that the relationship between us It is not impossible that someone is the leader of a foreign race...

"The immortal families in Huajun Continent and Nanyu Continent have already become suspicious of us. The ports facing Yuyao Continent have secretly arranged manpower to patrol the monks coming and going. When Qiu Fengqing's daughter returned to the sect, she was all under the influence of Yingyang Immortal. The palace’s inquiry…”

Jiliguala...

After listening to it for a long time, Patriarch Shangguan felt that these words were too wordy, so he said directly:

"Jade Yaozhou has been infiltrated by foreign races into a sieve. The whereabouts of everyone under the Lord can hardly escape the eyes of those who are interested. To be able to do this, the internal leader must be in a high position, and it is very likely that he will be among the eight of us. between."

In fact, since the Stealing Pill was robbed from the barren mountain, the eight Lords had this suspicion. They also conducted self-examination with iron fists, but only a few minor characters were found, and nothing else was found.

Seeing that the three elders were suspicious of several people present, the five subsequent lords naturally became nervous.

The nervousness is not because of guilty conscience, but because everyone knows Shangguan Patriarch's behavior. If the traitor cannot be found, Shangguan Patriarch would rather kill the wrong person than let go, and they will probably die.

Lord Peach Blossom has a close relationship with Mei Jinshui. A few days ago, he openly opposed Mei Jinshui and defended Mei Jinshui, so the suspicion was naturally the highest. She knew the seriousness of the matter and explained:

"You won't doubt me, right? You know me. I never get involved in the official affairs of the Nine Sects. I leave all the sect affairs to my disciples. I drink heavily at home every day. How can I be so ungrateful to my duties?"

Di Yang, the Lord of the Moon, then said:

"I am in charge of the land channel of Yuyaozhou, and I am indeed well aware of all the monks' transactions. But when the important monks of the Nine Sects go out to do business, who will run the public ferry? The private ferry formation is manufactured by Fulongshan. It can really be traced, and there should be no questions. It’s all on me.”

Lord Wanghai Wen Yeting said:

"I'm also a boater. I don't have any territory inland."

Yunshui Jiantan Li Jianyang said:

"I don't even have to run a boat, I just sell a few low-quality flying swords. The audience is not high-level. Even if I hook up with the Youying alien race, I won't be able to make waves."

Qiu Boyue, Lord of Barren Mountain: "..."

In fact, among the eight people present, it was difficult to clear the suspicion of Lord Barren Mountain, because the pill was stolen from under his nose, and there were too many mistakes.

However, the Lord of Barren Mountain had no fault in the past, and his character as a swordsman was well known to everyone. He did not escape after stealing the pill, but stayed there and risked being killed as a warning to other monkeys. It would not be appropriate to characterize him as a traitor.

The Shangguan Patriarch is indeed decisive in killing, but there are only a few strong men from the Nine Sects who will kill the wrong ones indiscriminately and not let go, and the ones they cut off are all her own arms; if this is a divorce plan by the Youying clan, then she will It's playing into your heart, so no matter how harsh your words are, you still can't make a hasty decision without real evidence.

After a group of people clarified themselves, things were back to square one and nothing was discussed.

Emperor Chao, Lord Shanggao, saw that everyone was silent and said:

"Whether there is any internal interference among the eight of us, we must be extra vigilant in the future. The Youying alien race has been quite active in recent years. Not only are they plundering the power of gods and earth everywhere, but they also have signs of marching into Nanyu Island...

"...If Nanyu Island falls into the hands of foreigners again, more than half of the nine states in the world will be lost. Huajunzhou does not want to sit back and watch it grow. Recently, it has gathered manpower to prepare to attack Posuozhou again. The nine sects still have strength left and cannot stand idly by. Therefore, I need all of you to send a thousand disciples to Posuo Continent to help out, do you have any objections?"

To rush across continents to help clear up foreign races, you must at least be able to wield a sword, otherwise you will die in the past; to send a thousand disciples is to recruit a thousand young backbones from the eighth level of the Linggu.

The nine major sects have deep foundations, and people can definitely get it together, but after being sent there, there is no telling how many people can come back alive. No matter how big the sect is, it cannot withstand such a torment. The other five lords will naturally have objections.

Qingdu Lord Li Jianyang was a swordsmith by training, and the disciples of Yunshui Sword Pool were also swordsmiths. The disciples around Half Step Youhuang were the backbone of the mass casting of flying swords. Take a thousand and leave. It is equivalent to casting tens of thousands less flying swords every year, which is converted into immortal money. Even the Lord feels pain. He was the first to speak, hoping that the quota could be smaller.

The same is true for Lord Peach Blossom. She was a little dissatisfied and said:

"I, the disciples of Peach Blossom Pond, are all farmers. How can I treat you as martial cultivators and Taoist sects equally? Even if I send a thousand disciples out, what can I do over there? Farming on the battlefield?"

"This damn bitch..."

While Lord Peach Blossom was debating, a whisper suddenly sounded among the eight people.

The tone sounded like he was scolding in annoyance, and the scolder turned out to be the Shangguan Patriarch who had always been unsmiling.

? !

All the Lords fell silent.

Lord Peach Blossom was stunned for a moment, then became furious:

"Shangguan Yutang, who are you scolding? I have offended you even though I discussed things seriously in formal occasions? My Taohuatan disciple is a farmer. You want to drag him to fight. The disciple has used up the Law Weapon elixir outside. You Are you going to ask the alien tribe Youying to borrow materials?"

Shangguan Patriarch rarely responded to Lord Peach Blossom. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"I think you are too verbose. Each sect has different responsibilities, so the arrangements will naturally be different. Yaowang Pagoda, Peach Blossom Pond, and Heavenly Emperor City can use the sect's output to offset their quota, but the manpower cannot be less than 300 to avoid war. There is a shortage of doctors and pharmacists.”

"No, why am I so verbose? The request was made by Shang Zhao. Is there something wrong with me when I mention the difficulty? Why is it that Lao Chen talks so much nonsense, why didn't you call him a 'smelly cow nose'?"

"Cui Yingying, please pay attention to the occasion."

"What occasion should I pay attention to? If I don't come, you have to drag me here. When I come, you will scold me. Are you relying on your old age and showing off your old age?"

"..."

…

——

Barren Mountain, Divine Fire Grotto-Heaven.

The boundless flames are like a red ocean, and the black shield protected by the formation is like a small boat in the ocean.

Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu kept the same posture, sitting cross-legged on the jade futon, closing their eyes to refine the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Grotto-Heaven.

In front of the two people, there was also a futon, and a tall woman wearing a golden dragon scale dress was sitting on it, her hands flat on her knees, and she was wandering thousands of miles away.

Originally, Grotto-Heaven was extremely quiet, and the three of them were in a state of trance without any movement.

But Leng Zhu, who had the lowest level of cultivation, discovered as she practiced that the aura in front of her was not quite right - to be precise, she felt the aura of ancestor Shangguan.

Leng Zhu just touched Linggu's butt, and there was probably hundreds of Zuo Lingquan difference between him and Ancestor Shangguan. In the past, even if Ancestor Shangguan stood in front of her, she couldn't feel any aura fluctuations.

But at this moment, Leng Zhu discovered that Shangguan Ancestor was breathing a little heavily, and he could even hear a slight gasp.

"Hoo~~ho~~~"

Leng Zhu thought he heard wrongly, so he quietly opened his eyes and bravely took a look.

The result is incredible!

Shangguan Patriarch’s cheeks, as white as jade, seemed to have been burned red by the fire.

With Patriarch Shangguan's cultivation, he could kill both of them with just a breath. Leng Zhu was naturally frightened and quickly shook Jiang Yi's shoulder:

"Princess, princess..."

Jiang Yi slowly came back to her senses, opened her eyes and was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene.

She did not dare to alert the Shangguan Patriarch rashly, so she could only ask in a low voice:

"Ancestor, what's going on?"

"I don't know, could it be...could something go wrong with my luck?"

"It doesn't look like it, it looks a bit like...like..."

Jiang Yi didn't dare to say it!

Fortunately, not long after the two of them were tense, the Shangguan Ancestor in front of them regained his composure.

The moment Shangguan Patriarch moved his eyelashes slightly, his complexion returned to normal. She opened her eyes, revealing the pair of eyes containing the Galaxy Sun and Moon, and looked back at the two of them:

"If you don't meditate properly, what are you talking about?"

! !

Ancestor Shangguan became serious. Even if he was neither happy nor angry, his scornful eyes could still scare people to death.

Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu both turned pale, nodded and admitted their mistake, then sat cross-legged again and closed their eyes, pretending they had seen nothing.

But before the two of them had regained their samadhi, they heard a woman yelling from outside the Divine Fire Grotto-Heaven:

"Shangguan Yutang, you have the ability to scold people, but you don't have the ability to argue with me face to face? If you don't explain clearly the matter of scolding me in public today, do you believe that I will tear down your ancestral hall?..."

As he spoke, a shadow in a green spring dress floated over from the periphery of the sea of ​​fire, ignoring the flames as if it were nothing, and came directly to the giant black shield.

Although Jiang Yi didn't recognize the person coming, she guessed from the person's tone that this person was one of the only female masters of the Nine Sects.

She and Leng Zhu stood up quickly and looked at the two of them in fear, fearing that the two Lords would fight here.

But to Jiang Yi's surprise, the Shangguan Patriarch, who had always been "advancing but never retreating", changed from his previous domineering, and now he was cowardly, and found that Lord Peach Blossom was chasing him, and his figure disappeared out of thin air, and he did not know where he went.

Lord Peach Blossom was scolded in public, and her chest almost exploded with anger. New and old grudges arose. How could she let go of Shangguan Yutang and chased after him again.

In the blink of an eye, the two women on the top of the mountain disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu stood together in confusion for a long time before speaking in a low voice:

"Princess, what's going on?"

"It sounds like the ancestor scolded the female fairy leader and someone came to visit her."

"My ancestor must have a reason for scolding people, and who else dares to talk back?"

"Well... what happened between the Immortal Venerables must have hidden mysteries that ordinary people can't understand... it has nothing to do with us, so just keep practicing."

"oh……"

…

The other side.

After Zuo Lingquan took Jingxun back to Huafang, Lingye's original intention was to set off directly to the Caiyi Kingdom in the north of Yuyaozhou.

But Jingxun was born in the business world and rarely traveled far in the past. It was hard to travel alone for several months.

Zuo Lingquan thought that he should at least catch the wind and wash away the dust and let Jingxun have a good night's rest, so he stopped at the ferry and rented a villa for monks to stay temporarily.

Although the few people didn't need to eat, Zuo Lingquan still made a table of appetizers on the ferry, took out the immortal brew, and the family sat together and had a good meal.

Because Xie Qiutao was present, the wine table did not turn into a Shura field. The chatting and laughing were very warm, but secret rivalry was inevitable.

Just like the issue of seats, if there are two people, they can sit in the middle, but if there are three people, one of them will be left out wherever they sit.

As soon as Zuo Lingquan came to the table, seeing the smiling and silent eyes of the three, he felt a chill down his back, and decisively put the dumpling in front of Jing Xun, and sat next to the dumpling.

The topics of conversation at the wine table were nothing more than the big and small things that happened when Jing Xing followed the ancestor's travels; because the immortal brewed wine too vigorously, the wine party didn't last long, after a few glasses of wine, after the drunkenness came up, several people followed each other. left the table.

Xie Qiutao didn't feel sleepy, so she hugged the dumplings under the influence of alcohol and played cotton balls on the waterside viewing platform to sober up.

Wu Qingwan and Shangguan Lingye fought back, but they also knew how to measure. Instead of pulling Zuo Lingquan back to the house to continue the round, they left quietly, leaving the beautiful night as a quiet reunion after a long absence.

On a moonlit night in late autumn, the bright moon hangs like a hook in the distant sky.

The waves on the Lianjiang River are shining, and the ferry near the river is brightly lit. Outside the ferry, in a waterfront attic, crisp pipa tunes echo in the night wind, making the night scene by the river a bit more lonely.

Dang Dang Dang~~

In the room on the second floor of Shuixie, a candle was placed beside the bed.

Tang Jingxun, who had a drunken look on his face, took out the robe and boots from the Linglong Pavilion given by his ancestor. They were both sewn on the way here. He had nothing to do and sewed them by himself. The workmanship was exquisite and decent.

Zuo Lingquan didn't move a finger, he sat next to him, picked up the rouge box that Jingxun placed next to the pillow, looked at it over and over, shook his head and said:

"It's been several years, and you still have it with you?"

Tang Jingxun snatched the rouge box back and hummed:

"Sister, I have stayed in Linhefang for more than 20 years. You are the first man to give me rouge. It is natural to keep such an important token."

His words were full of drunkenness, and he looked like he was drunk.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan leaned over and picked up Tang Jingxun's voluptuous legs, placed them on his knees, and helped take off the embroidered shoes with a very gentle movement.

Tang Jingxun had been intimate with Zuo Lingquan before. Although it was just a kiss, he had some experience and was not as shy as he was at the beginning. She pursed her lips and asked with a smile:

"Aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will come and cause trouble for you?"

Zuo Lingquan was naturally quite wary, but after not seeing each other for several months and finally meeting again after a long absence, he couldn't just say "good night" and leave. He smiled, put his arm around Jing Shen's shoulders, fell on the pillow together, and held her in his arms.

"call……"

Jingxun breathed out softly, twirled a strand of hair with her fingers, thought for a while and said:

"Speaking of it, this matter is quite troublesome. No matter how tight I am on my guard, I can still feel it whenever I feel happy or annoyed. The higher my Taoism, the more obvious the feeling. The same is probably true of the dead woman. She is a A yellow-flowered old girl who has no man to cherish her. How can she not be annoyed when she is so stimulated all day long..."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan's hand that just slipped under the collarbone silently took it back.

"But I can't always suffer. She wants to eat the remnant soul of the Nine Phoenixes, and I didn't force her. Now the two of us are tied together and we don't know how to untie them. I can't stay a widow all my life for her sake; I If she takes a step back and doesn’t make out with you every day, she should also take a step back and let us make out once in a while, don’t you think?”

"It's true..."

Zuo Lingquan thought it made sense, so he put his hand on the bulging skirt again, thought for a while and asked:

"Ancestor can also feel me like this?"

Tang Jingxun was not an ancestor, how could he know so clearly. She hesitated and shook her head:

"In terms of physical contact, you shouldn't be able to feel it. What you can feel are emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. As long as she is angry, aggrieved, proud, etc., I will feel it clearly."

"Ancestor, have you ever been wronged?"

"Yes, it was the time she went to beat Mei Jinshui last time. She said something harsh, but in fact she felt aggrieved in her heart. Well... she felt helpless and helpless. The more the crazy woman scolded her, The more she felt aggrieved, but she still had the courage to say harsh words. I felt like I couldn't bear it and wanted to cry, but she didn't have a red nose."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slowly, with surprise in his eyes, and asked again:

"What about being proud?"

"The proud one is Mei Jinshui, when she read your poem in front of that group of people in fancy clothes. She kept a straight face on the outside, but she was actually upset in her heart. It felt like she wanted to say 'Look' on the spot. Look, this is someone who was taught by my mother. Are you fools who only know how to wield swords and guns so shocked that you can't even speak?'"

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he couldn't help but blush. He shook his head and smiled, hugged Jingxun a little tighter, slid his hands along the waistline to her well-fed buttocks, and asked with a smile:

"Then the ancestor was angry, is it because Mei Jinshui suddenly ran to the gate of the Nine Sects?"

Tang Jingxuan's face turned red and he shook his head. He was about to speak, but he frowned and felt carefully:

"She's pretty angry right now."

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan's hand froze as soon as it fell into the soft flesh, and he let go quietly.

Tang Jingxun was dissatisfied when she saw that the man was so cowardly. She held Zuo Lingquan's big hand and put it back to its original position:

"Keep touching you~ It has nothing to do with us. She should be talking to Fellow Daoist about something, and it's not a good conversation."

Zuo Lingquan told the truth that he was in a dilemma, but Jingxun came all the way to find him, how could he just leave and leave Jingxun alone in the empty room? After much hesitation, he still kissed Jingxun's lips...
