Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 398

The turtle waved its four fins, leaving a white trail on the dark blue sea. The ethereal and vast whale song came from the depths of the sea, making the two people on the turtle's back feel like they were thousands of miles away from the world.

"Woo~~~..."

Xie Qiutao sat on the turtle's back, holding the pipa in his hand. He originally wanted to play some music to relieve his boredom, but when he heard the purest rhythm in the world, he felt unable to start. It felt that no matter what tune he played, the world was stained with earthly fireworks. .

Shangguan Yutang raised his eyes and looked at Galaxy, his eyes slightly lost in thought. However, this time he was not arguing with Jingxun, but was remembering the last time he passed through this place.

She was not very old at that time, and the little female dragon was just a little snake that was more than ten feet long. Because she heard that there were immortals living in seclusion overseas, she went to sea to visit the immortals and came here.

At that time, she was riding on the back of a little female dragon, looking at Galaxy like this. The rhythm of the whale song echoed in her ears. She was not affected by the artistic conception of being alone in the world. She only thought about how to persuade the gods to help her when she saw the gods later. She wiped away the lingering obsession in her heart.

Unfortunately, when I later arrived at Guye Island, I discovered that the gods on the island did not have the Divine Ability to bring the dead back to life. They were just a group of hermits who stayed away from the world and explored the truth of heaven and earth alone.

However, this trip was not too disappointing. There was an old lady on the island. After learning what she wanted, she said something to her, which probably meant:

The cycle of life and death is endless. It is difficult to resurrect the dead, but it is very simple to prevent the living from experiencing suffering. Instead of finding their relatives and letting them return to the village to live a hard life, it is better to find a way to let them grow up in a peaceful and prosperous next life. You won’t go through the hardships of this life.

After hearing this, she was deeply inspired and slowly changed her views on life and death. Her goal changed from retrieving her people to protecting the land beneath her feet and protecting every ordinary person who might be the reincarnation of her parents.

This road is very long. To this day, she has only protected the small area of ​​Dongzhou and Southern League. But as long as she lives, she will one day realize her ideal; even if she dies one day, there will be successors around her to help her. Complete this obsession.

Thinking of Zuo Lingquan, Shangguan Yutang actually felt a little guilty in his heart.

After all, Shangguan Yutang's personality is the same as Zuo Lingquan's, he wants to carry everything by himself, and the people around him are happy to live happily. If he wants to hand over the burden on his shoulders to the people around him, it can only show his incompetence.

People around me...

Shangguan Yutang came back to his senses and became a little confused about the term "people around him". He didn't understand where Zuo Lingquan was by his side.

Fellow Daoists who share the joys and sorrows... definitely don't count.

Son-in-law, apprentice...

Shangguan Yutang lightly licked his red lips, and he didn't know what shameful thing came to his mind. Anyway, just as soon as Xinhu thought about it, a quiet shout came from his mind:

"Damn bitch, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm going back first, yourself..."

"Hey, shut up, can I sleep?"

"snort……"

Shangguan Yutang snorted secretly, brushed away his distracting thoughts and stood up, looking at an island appearing at the end of his field of vision.

Xie Qiutao was traveling thousands of miles, secretly wondering if Zuo Lingquan and Senior Sister Qiu had something happened outside that the little girl dared not think about. Seeing the outline of the island in the distance, she came back to her senses:

"Are you there? Is there anyone on this island?"

The isolated island is quite large, but it looks very primitive from a distance. The periphery of the island is covered by green vegetation, and there is no light. It is not until you get closer that you can see a man-made excavated stone under the coastal stone cliff. Stone stairs.

Not all the immortal families on the land of Jiuzhou belong to the two ways of righteousness and evil. There are also many neutral sects, adhering to the ancient way of seclusion of the immortal family, hiding in the deep mountains, old forests or overseas wilderness. When I need to pass on the incense, I will leave the mountain briefly.

The Lone Leaf Island in front of you is one of them. There are no records of good and evil, and only people like Shangguan Patriarch, who has seen all over Jiuzhou, know the existence of this small place.

Xie Qiutao followed the Shangguan patriarch and came to the bottom of the sea cliff by sea turtle. After waiting for a while, a woman in yellow appeared on the cliff. After sizing up the two of them, she said softly:

"Guye Island is closed to all guests. If you two have no place to stay, you can stop at the gravel reef a hundred miles away..."

Shangguan Yutang raised his hand and saluted:

"I'm Shangguan Yutang. Three thousand years ago, I was fortunate enough to receive advice from Grandma Guihua. Now I'm passing through here and I came here to pay a visit. I wonder if Grandma Guihua is still alive?"

"Three thousand... Shangguan..."

The woman on the stone cliff was obviously a little confused.

After looking at the two people for a long time, he saw that the ancestor's aura did not seem to be fake, so he bowed and said:

"I will inform the division commander, you two, wait a moment."

The woman's figure disappeared on the stone cliff, and after about half a cup of tea, she reappeared, followed by a gray-haired old woman.

When Shangguan Yutang saw the old woman, his eyes showed a bit of disappointment. He knew that after three thousand years of vicissitudes, the former Osmanthus grandma had already escaped into reincarnation.

The old woman was very old, her face was full of folds like orange peel, she looked like she was not far away from the end, her expression was very kind, she came to the front and back with a cane, and bowed her head:

"Senior is Miss Yutang, why didn't that greedy little snake come?"

Shangguan Yutang was a little surprised, and set foot on the island with Qiutao, with a friendly voice:

"Little snake stays at home, have you heard of me?"

"There are few people on the island, and the senior is very famous. I heard it from my grandma before, so I remembered it. I didn't expect to see it again in this life..."

"Just call me Yutang, you don't have to call me senior. After I came here once before, I worked hard all over Jiuzhou and didn't have the chance to come and visit. I didn't expect you guys to still remember me."

"well……"

The old woman walked on the stone road with a cane, shook her head and said:

"I can't forget this. According to Grandma Grandma, Grandma Guihua was still thinking about you before she died. She told her descendants that when you get married, we must burn some paper money in front of the grave and tell her."

"Um?"

Qiu Tao, who was following behind obediently, was startled, and hurriedly trotted forward, listening attentively. However, the ancestor squinted his eyes and glanced at it. He quickly pretended that nothing happened and looked at the surrounding scenery: "Hmm, huh, huh." ~~”

Shangguan Yutang smiled: "Grandma Osmanthus also said this?"

"Yes, Grandma Guihua said that no man is worthy of a good girl like you, and it is difficult to find a husband. She just thought that one day when you are in trouble, she will help you to enlighten you. The result is good. Grandma Guihua will wait until she dies. I haven't heard any news from outside, and it seems that you are really not ready to get married. But Grandma Guihua said that the matching of yin and yang is the way of heaven. No matter how high you go, you can't escape this hurdle, so I want to know what can you wait for. when."

Shangguan Yutang did not deny this, but responded with a smile:

"Grandma Osmanthus likes to worry about these things, but she is disappointed."

"Hey, it's fate that hasn't come yet, so there's no way to say I'm disappointed."

While the old woman was talking, she took the two of them to the center of the island. In addition to some buildings hidden in the forest, there was a small lake in the middle. There was a stone bridge on the lake, leading to an osmanthus tree in the center of the lake. There are countless ribbons, and there is a small grave under the tree.

Xie Qiutao saw the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the middle of the lake, and felt that it didn't look like ordinary wood, so she asked curiously:

"What is this tree for?"

The old woman smiled: "Grandma planted the sweet-scented osmanthus before she died to protect her descendants with the spirit in heaven. Our Guye Island is a hidden sect, and we pay attention to one person in one day, one place. Every time a woman is getting married, or a man is choosing a mate, he will come there. Worship under the tree, please ask Grandma Osmanthus to see where your sweetheart is."

Xie Qiutao was taken aback: "Can we see this in advance?"

The old woman shook her head and looked at Shangguan Yutang:

"Death is like a light extinguishing. Grandma Osmanthus has passed away a long time ago. How can she have such Divine Ability? But the Osmanthus tree can see it very accurately, and I can't explain why. Girl Yutang should know these mysterious things better than me."

Shangguan Yutang glanced at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and explained plainly:

"It's not too mysterious. It's just a glimpse into the heart through this tree. When you see the person in your heart, you will naturally feel accurate."

The old woman shifted her gaze to Xie Qiutao:

"Do you want to try, little girl? Maybe you will find your sweetheart here."

Xie Qiutao's expression froze, and she thought to herself: I still need to watch? Bah, bah, bah... what am I looking at?

Xie Qiutao looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree a little shyly:

"I'm only this young, don't worry..."

Shangguan Yutang had seen through Qiutao's mind long ago, and said:

"If you don't dare to look, it means you already have the answer in your mind. The result will be the same whether you go or not."

The old woman nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Xie Qiutao really couldn't refute this. She was a little confused and couldn't answer, so she simply kicked the ball back:

"Senior Shangguan, why don't you try?"

"..."

Shangguan Yutang's expression didn't change at all. He wanted to refuse, but she just said, "If you don't dare to go, it means you have the answer in your heart."

Go ahead, in case you see something messy...

Doesn't this still have the answer in my heart!

Although it is just an inconspicuous little osmanthus tree, its Divine Ability is truly remarkable. A single implication made the Valkyrie, who had a rock-solid mind, feel a little stirred in her heart.

Shangguan Yutang noticed the instability of the lake in his heart. In order to stabilize his state of mind, he stepped directly onto the stone bridge and came to the center of the lake where cinnamon was bursting. He looked at the big tree in front of him.

The night wind is faint, and the center of the lake is silent, only an old tree and a beautiful lady.

Xie Qiutao stood by the lake and looked at the back of her ancestor. She wanted to know who the man in her heart was, but she was also afraid that her elder sister would silence her if she found out. She was a little frightened.

But to our disappointment, no vision appeared in the center of the lake.

Shangguan Yutang, who looked calm, gazed at the crown of the tree for a while, then bowed to the small grave next to him, and then walked back.

Xie Qiutao didn't dare to ask, but couldn't help it, so she asked in a low voice:

"Senior, who did you see?"

"I didn't see anything."

"Really? The Immortal Lord doesn't lie..."

The old woman raised her hand slightly, interrupting Qiutao's words:

"This matter is only known in the heart, and no one will tell outsiders, so there is no need to ask."

Shangguan Yutang laughed at this and did not explain anything.

Xie Qiutao was full of curiosity, but she really had no way to press the Shangguan patriarch, so she could only give up resentfully.

And Jing Xun, who hadn't slept at all, couldn't hold back anymore, and asked in her heart:

"Mother, did you see Zuo Lingquan just now?! I saw it..."

Shangguan Yutang's heart was as calm as a mirror, and he responded without haste:

"This deity's soul is too powerful to be affected by such a small thing. Just now your body was confused by the cinnamon, and your heart was unstable and you saw Zuo Lingquan; this deity just saw what you thought in your heart, and it has nothing to do with this deity."

"Don't try to lie to me, your heart jumped just now, you must have an idea."

"You're not talking nonsense. When I look at my sweetheart and suddenly see my son-in-law, can I not be startled? This kind of thing is only useful if you come over with your body. Using your body to be disturbed by you will only cause misunderstandings and will not count."

"Yeah?"

"Why, do you really want this deity to have Zuo Lingquan in his heart? If this deity is moved by Fanxin, you and those little girls will have to come over and rub shoulders and beat legs for this deity first if you want to kiss in the future. Do you think this is a good thing?"

"Bah--you have a good idea... I just asked casually, mother-in-law, I warn you, if you are caught by me for being disrespectful, I will go to Tiecuo Mansion to beat gongs and drums, saying that you are shameless and pick up ashes …”

Remove the ashes? !

Ancestor Shangguan didn't bother to pay attention to the nonsense words. After looking back at the old osmanthus tree in the middle of the lake, he walked to the depths of the island with the old woman and continued to revisit the old place...

——

a long distance away.

Unknowingly, a round of scorching sun hangs on the horizon in the east, and the small boat that should not appear in the endless sea has sailed along the blue waves for an unknown distance.

Zuo Lingquan was sitting at the stern of the boat, in front of him was a small case for drinking tea. On the small case, there were three plates condensed with ice, inside which were neatly placed fillets of unknown salmon.

The dumpling squatted in the corner of the small case, looking at the sashimi with black bright eyes, feeling a bit regretful, probably thinking in his heart: It would be great if Taotao was here, she has oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and mustard, it’s not authentic to eat without seasoning …

Miss Qiu was sitting in front of the small case, seeing Zuo Lingquan's superb knife skills, she wanted to say "Can you still cook?" It's not worth the money anymore, so I can only change my words after thinking about it:

"There is a Bafangzhai in Thunder Cliff, and the owner's family gave him the honorary name 'God of Cooking'. The most famous dish is 'Roasted Whole Kun with Rootless Fire'..."

"grumble?!"

The dumpling was startled, and felt that the fish fillet in front of him was no longer delicious.

Zuo Lingquan heard Qiu Tao talk about Bafangzhai, but the Treasure Pond was opened that day and he had no chance to go. Hearing the sound, he laughed and said:

"Roasted whole Kun? Can you finish it?"

"I didn't eat it either, my father did. According to my father, the scene was very big. Tens of thousands of monks gathered in the small square of Qianyuan Street, and no one with any status could squeeze in front; Black Cliff Sword Ghost Chu Yi I was invited to cut the fish with a sword, and the bones and flesh were separated with one stroke of the sword, and the complete skeleton could be taken out..."

"hehe……"

Hearing this narration, Zuo Lingquan really yearned for the lively scene that was incompatible with the Dao practice; after he cut the fish, he handed a portion to Miss Qiu, and then to Tuanzi, and asked:

"We have traveled seven to eight hundred miles, how far are Jingxun and the others still?"

Tuanzi pointed in a certain direction with the tip of his wing, and then started to devour the food, with an attitude of "hurry up, hurry up".

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say and continued to talk about roasting Quan Kun.

But not long after the two chatted, they faintly realized something was wrong.

Wow - Wow -

In the distance on the sea surface, something seemed to be moving. It was very large and definitely not an ordinary whale or turtle.

Miss Qiu was holding a plate of ice crystals, and was sipping sashimi. After noticing the strangeness, her eyes became cautious, she put down the plate, and held the green long sword beside her:

"Be careful, there's something in front of you, it's quite big."

Zuo Lingquan had already stood up, lowered his breath and carefully searched the sea surface, and asked:

"Judging from the movements, the size is no less than a hundred feet, it can't be Kun, right?"

"Chiji..."

Tuanzi shook his head while eating the fish, indicating that there was no need to panic.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan thought that even Kunpeng was a very good person, so his fear a little lessened.

The two of them were currently in the sea, and it would be risky to consume True Qi's reserves easily, so Zuo Lingquan prepared to work with Miss Qiu to avoid the behemoth ahead.

But after Miss Qiu carefully perceived it for a moment, she frowned slightly:

"No, this thing is a bit familiar, a bit like...like..."

…

———

Dozens of miles away.

On the sunny sea, a phantom of a dragon python with a length of hundreds of feet was swimming unhurriedly in the sea, and behind it was a small hill with snow-white hair, floating in the sea with the phantom.

The Snow Wolf King, Lang Horn, although he was seriously injured, his consciousness was already awake at the moment, floating on the water, looking at the clouds in the sky, he asked:

"Xuan Ye, you are also a Beast Race. Beast Race practice can be described as 'no way behind, no door in front of you'. If you want to go further, you can only fight with your life. You still have combat power, I think you should stay in Posuozhou, If you counterattack with them and just retreat like this, you won't have any combat achievements."

Snake ancestor Xuan Ye recovered his body, poked out half of his head on the sea surface, and responded flatly:

"If you have earned military exploits, you have to spend your life. The situation in Posuozhou is not right. You and I stay here as pawns of the human race to test the depth of the opponent. Instead of losing your life when the time comes, it is better to take the opportunity to go back. , at worst, it’s just a matter of infamy, and Beast Race doesn’t care about reputation.”

Lang Hai thought for a while: "I am the king of Xuelang Mountain. If I go to other places, I am nothing. To be honest, I don't want to leave. But if I don't leave, you have no excuse to leave."

"Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit, with your morality, where can you not be king? And the higher ups will definitely bring back Posuozhou. When the time comes, you heal your wounds and then take back the territory."

"Hey... the way of practice is about 'everything comes from the heart'. It feels like an ominous omen for me to go against my heart and accompany you to leave this time."

"Don't worry, I go back and forth often, and I'm familiar with the local snakes in this sea area. They will sell the Beast King's face, they won't... they won't..."

A word of dialogue.

Xuan Ye raised the snake's head in the sea, its aura showed a three-point ferocity, it looked back to the east, and then looked at the two auras that were approaching rapidly, the scarlet snake's pupils became vertical.

The half-closed wolf pupils of the wolf were also opened a little at this time, but immediately changed back to the half-closed look, and sighed:

"Shi Ye, Ming Ye. Run, I still have the strength to block you."

At the beginning of the new volume, I have to write a detailed outline to sort out the follow-up plot, so the writing is a bit watery or2.
