Too Reckless

Vol 2 Chapter 57: Before the flowers under the moon, let's talk about wine

Even as the second saint, to go to the inner library to call the royal property, you still have to go to the internal affairs office to go through the process. Shangguan Lingye took a while to return to the palace of the concubine, and landed on the white stone steps outside the main hall. Zuo Lingquan, who was wearing a green robe, stood in front of the portrait of the ancestor and bowed his head.

Shangguan Lingye paused in footsteps, restrained his voice, and carefully looked at Zuo Lingquan's demeanor.

Zuo Lingquan's actions are very sincere, unsmiling, and his expression is solemn. He is like the most sincere believer in the world, paying homage to the only **** in his heart. Just from the silhouette, you can feel the sense of ritual that cannot be desecrated.

Shangguan Lingye was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zuo Lingquan to be so solemn. I'm afraid even the introductory disciples of Iron Arrow Mansion didn't take incense so seriously to the ancestors.

How could this look like the Taoist companion chosen by the ancestors, she did not worship the ancestors to this extent...

Shangguan Lingye thought so, but before he could figure out what to do, he saw Zuo Lingquan who had finished the incense, and quickly left the incense table, and raised his hand and patted his chest with a 'false alarm' expression.

"…"

After a long time, it turned out to be installed...

Shangguan Lingye shook his head secretly, but with such a pretense, it didn't look like the Taoist companion chosen by the ancestors, but more like a stubborn apprentice who never changed... While thinking about it, she stepped into the main hall and said:

"Sorry for the waitting."

Zuo Lingquan heard the voice and found out that Shangguan Lingye was back. The ancestor of Shangguan had not appeared in front of others for decades. He couldn't say that the ancestor had just come, but he walked towards the center of the hall and said with a smile:

"Senior, I see the portrait of Venerable Lord Linyuan hanging here. Could it be that your Master is Venerable Lord Linyuan?"

Shangguan Lingye came to sit on the side of the table and said calmly:

"You just know?"

"Yeah. No one in the market dares to talk about being the imperial concubine of the dynasty, and Senior Situ never told me this."

"My name is Shangguan Lingye, a direct descendant of my ancestors, the same generation as Situ Baye."

Shangguan Lingye took out a few items from Linglong Pavilion and put them on the table, asking:

"You know my master?"

Zuo Lingquan didn't know what the relationship between Shangguan Lingye and his ancestors was. He was worried that Shangguan Lingye would be dragged to purify the fire. After sitting down opposite the case, he just said with a smile:

"Lord Linyuan came to the Great Dan Dynasty a few days ago. I am a disciple of Xihuang Valley. I had the honor to take a look from afar. I remember that the Iron Arrow Mansion appeared very early, and it has only been passed down for two generations?"

Shangguan Lingye saw that Zuo Lingquan didn't tell the truth and didn't ask any more questions. He shook his head and said:

"The immortals have extremely long lifespans, and the time for accepting apprentices is also far apart, so the inheritance of the nine sects is not from master to apprentice, but from brother to brother. Senior Brother Baye is more than 200 years older than me, and when he leaves the sect I may succeed the palace lord; when I die, if the ancestors have no new apprentices, they will be passed on to the next generation."

This inheritance system is indeed different from the secular world, but it is understandable. Zuo Lingquan thought about it and said:

"If you reach the realm of the nine sect masters, all of them will die, when will they be able to live forever?"

"Within the nine sects, only the eight great lords have not been changed. When they reach their realm, they should not be limited by their lifespan. However, the eight lords may also be beaten to death, and the natural gods such as the four spirits of the sky can also be sealed. Death, the real existence of immortality and immortality, I don't know what it is."

Zuo Lingquan nodded lightly, looked at the table, Shangguan Lingye took out a piece of wood, a tripod, and a jar of wine.

He picked up the black wood to check, it was dark and long, and the weight was very light, and asked:

"what is this?"

"Thousand-year-old ghost locust, from the depths of Luohun Abyss, is the best residence for lonely ghosts and wild ghosts. The 'Soul Gathering Banner' in ancient times was made with this, but it is difficult to use normal refining tools. If you want to lead snakes out of their holes, You can go to the black market of Burning Smoke City to sell this thing, because the price is high, the refiner who can buy ghost locust wood may be the target you are looking for."

Zuo Lingquan put down the locust wood, and picked up the three-legged tripod next to it. The round tripod was engraved with intricate patterns and a dragon-shaped relief with a red bead in its mouth. It was heavy, but it didn't look like much.

"This is the magic weapon 'Fire Dragon Cauldron', which can smelt 99% of the gold of the five elements in the world. To a craftsman, it is as valuable as a sword of a swordsman; if you want someone to make an evil weapon, you must have a bargaining chip."

Zuo Lingquan heard that it was a magic weapon, his eyes became more serious, and he looked back and forth, but he couldn't see the way out. He asked:

"Is this tripod for me?"

Shangguan Lingye narrowed his eyes slightly, showing the expression "you think it's beautiful":

"This is a tool for investigating the case. I borrowed it from the treasury. I just asked you to investigate the case, and I didn't ask you to actually make an evil weapon."

"What if I lose something so precious?"

"Life is the first priority. If you are robbed, come back and report the case, and I will send another person to recover the official property."

Hearing this, Zuo Lingquan felt relieved, put the locust wood and the fire dragon cauldron into the Linglong Pavilion, and looked at the small wine jar on the table:

"Is this also a magic weapon?"

Shangguan Lingye raised his slender hand and picked up the time-honored wine jar:

"This is the 'fairy drunk' of Taohuatan. It came from the hands of the Taohua lord. The Taohua lord is no longer in the world. I drink one jar less than one jar, and I haven't drank it a few times. Seeing that the Zhou family was hiding well, I followed the altar."

"Uh…"

Zuo Lingquan likes to drink. Hearing that his origins are so big, he is naturally interested:

"Does this wine have a special effect?"

"During cultivation, the human body is different from that of ordinary people, and the sweat medicine can't be put down, especially the wine; the effect of this jar of wine is to get the immortals drunk."

Shangguan Lingye opened the stopper, and a faint mellow fragrance drifted away. She looked at Zuo Lingquan:

"Want to drink?"

Although his expression is noble and noble, his eyes look a bit like teasing a child with a lollipop.

Zuo Lingquan wanted to see the scenery of Xianjia all over the place. Naturally, he thought about the delicious wine that could be encountered but not sought after, and said with a smile:

"It's boring to drink alone. If senior wants me to drink with me, I naturally have to accompany you."

Shangguan Lingye raised her hand and hooked lightly, and two white jade cups fell on the table. She raised her hand to pour the wine and said softly:

"Situ shocked to say that I don't even have a friend who can drink with me. I thought about it, and it's true. Is it counted now?"

Zuo Lingquan was a little surprised by these words, looking at the beautiful woman in the palace dress in front of him pouring wine seriously, after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said:

"Senior Situ's meaning should be 'friendship'. People with similar interests together, even if they drink a pot of bitter wine of three cents in the market, they can get drunk; if they don't speculate, even if they drink Xianjia old wine , and can't drink the taste. The point is not on the wine."

Shangguan Lingye paused slightly, then looked up at Zuo Lingquan:

"How can it be considered a relationship?"

Zuo Lingquan didn't know whether the resourceful and cultivated concubine in front of him really didn't understand this question, or if there was another deep meaning. He thought about it and said:

"It's like-minded. Two people sitting on the roof drinking, there is no purpose, open their hearts, talk about bragging, you are willing to say, I am willing to listen, talk to dry mouth to drink, not drink for the sake of drinking. "

Shangguan Lingye thought about it, nodded slightly, and then Zuo Lingquan found himself floating. The wine glass also floated up and flew directly out of the gate to the ridge of the main hall.

The bright moonlight shone on the bright yellow glazed tiles, a few auspicious beasts squatted on the left and right of the roof, and the great imperial city had a panoramic view.

Shangguan Lingye took out a small case and placed it on the roof ridge, sat beside the small case, and put the wine jug and wine glass on it.

Zuo Lingquan didn't expect that the young woman's grandmother wanted to come out and she suddenly sat on the highest part of the palace, still a little uncomfortable, and said:

"Is it alright to sit here?"

Shangguan Lingye held a wine glass in his hand and looked at the fireworks of the mortal world for eighty years:

"People in the practice don't have to care about the rules of the world; you can start talking and bragging."

"?"

Zuo Lingquan couldn't understand the next Shangguan Lingye, and it didn't look like he was pulling him to chat in the middle of the night. He was blowing alone, what could he blow?

"Senior Shangguan, what do you want me to say?"

"When you and Jiang Yi are together, isn't it easy to talk things out? What do you want to say?"

Jiang Yi is my new daughter-in-law, but you are not...

Zuo Lingquan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the cool wine poured into his throat, and he didn't feel anything special except moisturizing. He opened his mouth and asked:

"What is the senior interested in?"

Shangguan Lingye thought for a while:

"I wasn't interested in anything before, I just wanted to practice, but my ancestors stopped me from practicing, so I lost my purpose. What do you think I should be interested in?"

Where did Zuo Lingquan know, he asked again:

"Senior Shangguan has been in the palace alone for 80 years, and he can't find his goal and no one talks about it. It must be very difficult, right?"

Shangguan Lingye covered his lips with his sleeves and drank the wine glass:

"Stay in a place you don't like, what do you say?"

"After so many years, senior didn't go out to relax?"

"I've been out quite a few times, and if the Demon Hunting Division can't figure out what to do, I have to go out in person. It's really relaxing when I go out, just like when I practiced outside."

Zuo Lingquan waved his hand lightly and raised his eyes to signal the lights outside the palace wall:

"It's not going out to do errands, it's going out for a walk, walking on the street, watching the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, or going to the poetry festival to see what the talented people have learned all those years ago, and everyone's music in the piano world."

Shangguan Lingye picked up the wine jar and poured two more glasses of wine:

"Are these mundane pastimes interesting?"

Zuo Lingquan smiled: "Immortals are all cultivated from people. Since these things exist, they must be interesting. If you don't advance in one practice, you will retreat. I don't dare to slack off one day, and always walk on the road; With this bondage, you can stop and rest, and do some trivial things that have no meaning, which will make the world bloom, which is even more exciting than the practice of longevity."

Shangguan Lingye put his eyes on the sea of ​​lights outside the palace wall, and his expression was flat:

"I don't think those things are very exciting. Do you think that walking on the street is more relaxing than Yujian flying in the sky and traveling around the world?"

Zuo Lingquan definitely doesn't think so, but the world is not just walking around the streets, he said softly:

"For me, the practice path has more supernatural powers and longevity than the secular world. Aside from these, there are not many places that are stronger than the secular world. For example, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

"The masters of the Xianjia will also study these, and they have hundreds of years of precipitation and polishing, and their attainments are far beyond that of ordinary people."

Zuo Lingquan waved his hand: "The article is natural, and it is obtained by chance. It is not possible to figure it out after a long time of research. Most people can only develop a craftsmanship after researching for a lifetime."

Shangguan Lingye supported the small case with his arms diagonally, sitting slightly lazily, gently shaking the fine wine in the white jade cup:

"I don't think so. Just like this glass of wine, it's impossible for ordinary people to brew it for a lifetime. They don't have so much time to settle."

Zuo Lingquan drank two glasses of wine and felt a little overwhelmed. He put one hand on his knee and sighed:

"Then let me give an example. I have heard a poem before, 'Three thousand miles in the homeland, twenty years in the palace; one He Manzi, two tears fall in front of the king'. The miserable situation in the palace for 20 years. The maiden is more than three thousand miles away from home, right? After staying in the palace for 80 years, the time is four times longer than that of the palace maids in the division. Can you write a poem like this? ?"

Shangguan Lingye frowned slightly: "I'm not good at poetry. Besides, I'm a noble concubine, not a palace maid. Even if I'm not a practitioner, I'm pampered and enjoy the wealth of the world. How can I cry?"

Zuo Lingquan thought about it too, and changed his words:

"Let's talk about dancing. The fairies on the mountain are highly skilled, and they can't study dance to perform in front of people. The dance they dance is definitely not as good as the world's singing and dancing..."

Shangguan Lingye still shook his head: "Who said fairies at the foot of the mountain can't dance? There are a lot of young cultivators out there. In order to earn money from the gods, they dance in their own practice mansion and pass it on to cultivators from all over Yuyao Continent. The level is no less than half a point lower than that of the secular singer, and she can fly and jump, and mortals can't compare at all."

Zuo Lingquan looked surprised: "Is this all right?"

Shangguan Lingye snorted softly: "There is no wonder in practice. Some female cultivators can do things like taking off their clothes and dancing for the sake of immortal money. !

Zuo Lingquan put his elbows on the small case and got closer:

"There is still such a thing that is not on the table in the practice path? I am afraid that I have to criticize it..."

Shangguan Lingye also got closer, half-squinting:

"You want to see?"

Both rely on the small case, and the two are less than two feet away.

Shangguan Lingye drank a few drinks, her eyes were still clear, but Ruyu's cheeks had a bit of redness that she hadn't even noticed herself, showing the moving beauty of a 'drunken concubine' under the bright moonlight.

The beautiful woman is like a mellow wine, her soft cheeks are close at hand, Zuo Lingquan's eyes stopped for a moment, some floating thoughts were immediately withdrawn, and he shook his head:

"I don't want to, it's just an accident."

He sat up straighter, looked at the lights in the distance, and said sternly:

"However, it is not easy to practice cultivation, and this kind of thing can be understood. It is better than killing people and setting fire to harm the people for the sake of longevity."

Shangguan Lingye noticed the pause in Zuo Lingquan's eyes, turned his head and snorted lightly:

"Why pretend? I've lived for a hundred years, and a teenage girl like you has seen too many, and can't walk when she sees a beautiful woman, and she's full of thoughts about the things between men and women..."

"Senior, what you said is wrong, do I look horny?"

"Um."

Shangguan Lingye nodded seriously: "I can't fault you other than lust."

Zuo Lingquan spread his hands and said, "Where am I lecherous? Seniors can't just humiliate people's innocence."

Shangguan Lingye took a sip from the glass and gestured to the house outside the palace wall:

"There are four women hidden in your house. Even if you don't count your teacher and maid, there are two women who have an ambiguous relationship with you..."

"Only two..."

"…"

Shangguan Lingye sat up a little bit and looked at Zuo Lingquan with a frown.

Zuo Lingquan felt that what he said was a bit wrong, and coughed lightly:

"Well... I mean, I came from a wealthy family in the world, and it's normal to marry a dozen wives, two is not too much. And this can't be described as lustful, it's because of the accumulated feelings that we are together..."

"You only get emotional when you see the color of others."

"Why not? Everyone has a love for beauty. Isn't it a matter of course to see a beautiful girl in love?"

"Look, you admitted it yourself."

"What I admit is that I have a love for beauty, not lust, these two are not the same thing. Sex is the skin, and inner beauty is also beauty..."

"Is it difficult to admit that you are lustful?"

"Well... no, it's a matter of principle..."

"Humph…"

The silver moon is long in the sky.

At the top of the lofty palace, the chatting with horses and horses continued for a long time, until the fish maw white lit up in the east.

Shangguan Lingye was able to chat with Zuo Lingquan because Zuo Lingquan was favored by her ancestors. She wanted to find out her own shortcomings through in-depth contact.

But chatting and chatting, she also forgot her original intention. Anyway, she was talking nonsense for a long time. When she came back to her senses, she realized that it was dawn.

When the first ray of morning light fell on the bright yellow glazed tiles, Shangguan Lingye stopped talking, looked at Zuo Lingquan who was a little dizzy next to him, raised his hand and waved lightly, dispelling the alcoholism on him, and said:

"It's dawn, the ferry boat is parked at the back of the side hall, you can go and pick it up yourself."

Zuo Lingquan was not drunk at first, but was a little dizzy, and as the alcohol dissipated, he completely recovered. After chatting for most of the night, I talked nonsense, and when I recalled it carefully, it seemed that I didn't talk about anything.

However, drinking and chatting is just like that, as long as you are happy with it, it will be boring if you really want to try to figure out every word.

Zuo Lingquan stood up and said goodbye:

"Then I'll go first, I just said something abrupt, please forgive me, senior."

"Go early and return early."

Zuo Lingquan nodded with a smile, UU reading www.uukanshu.com turned around and jumped off the eaves, but Shangguan Lingye, who was behind, added:

"Let Jiang Yi come to the palace. If you go to Burning Mist City, she can't help her, but she can help her practice quickly in the palace."

Zuo Lingquan only dared to take Jiang Yi when the difficulty of the errand was low, and the future of Burning Smoke City was uncertain. Where would he dare to take Jiang Yi, he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll go talk to her."

After the words fell, he jumped down, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run far away above the pavilion.

Shangguan Lingye sat alone on the roof ridge with an empty wine jar beside him. After watching the figure drift away, he turned his head to look at the small case. He stared at it for a long time, not knowing what to think...

Many thanks to the second leader of [NingNingNing] for the reward!
