Too Reckless

Zuo Lingquan stood under the eaves and looked at Leng Yue, who was half-hanging in the air.

In the bathroom separated by a wall behind, two women whispered:

"He didn't peek, did he?"

"No, Zuo Gongzi is such a decent person, how can he bully the dark room..."

"Hmph~ you just went out naked, did he see it clean?"

"No no... I'm wearing a bellyband~"

"You're not wearing anything below..."

"Don't say it, princess, you're ashamed!"

"Hey... Really, don't worry, this palace is in charge of you, and I'll take care of him later."

"Don't clean up..."

"Um?"

...

The whispering didn't last long, and the two girls got dressed and came out.

Jiang Yi was wearing a long red dress, and her long black hair was still wet. It was scattered on her back and wiped her hair with a towel.

Leng Zhu's face was still the same as Red Apple, walking weakly behind Jiang Yi, clutching her chest subconsciously, and didn't dare to look up at Zuo Lingquan.

Zuo Lingquan turned around, raised his hand and waved lightly, sweeping away the moisture from Jiang Yi's hair, and said with a smile:

"I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to be taking a shower. It was me who was reckless."

Jiang Yi's hair was instantly as dry as before, and her eyes showed a bit of surprise, but she didn't say thank you; she threw the towel to Leng Zhu and ordered:

"Leng Zhu, go and hand over the files that have been sorted out these days to the concubine for a review."

"Yes. Young Master Zuo, I'll go first."

After Leng Zhu glanced at Zuo Lingquan, he lowered his head and ran quickly to the Tianji Temple in front of him.

Zuo Lingquan watched Leng Zhu go away, and before he had time to speak, he found a pain in his waist, and was twisted half a circle by his hand.

"Princess Si, why are you pinching me?"

"Why do you say I pinch you?"

Jiang Yi pinched her waist and walked outside the palace, dissatisfied:

"You sneaked into the bath and didn't even think we were taking a bath? Before entering the door, you learned to bully the maid. She is from this palace, can you bully casually?"

Zuo Lingquan held Jiang Yi's hand and said with a smile:

"I didn't bully Leng Zhu, I was just going to enter the house to tease you guys. I didn't really want to take a peek. I didn't think Leng Zhu would bump into my arms before I even got dressed..."

"Are you okay to say that?"

Jiang Yi wanted to break free from Zuo Lingquan's hand, but after no luck, he let him hold it and hummed softly:

"Forget it, it's a family anyway. But I told you in advance that Leng Zhu and I grew up together, just like a sister. If you treat her as a servant girl based on your identity and cultivation, I'd rather marry her off. ."

"Got it, tired after a busy day? I'm carrying you."

Zuo Lingquan pulled Jiang Yi behind him and carried him on his back.

"Huh?" Jiang Yi's feet were hanging in the air, lying on Zuo Lingquan's back, she quickly checked left and right, and she was relieved when there was no one else in the palace. After thinking about it, she was no longer angry with Zuo Lingquan. She wrapped her arms around his neck and asked:

"How about going outside? Is there any benefit?"

"I got a lot of benefits, and there are only three magic weapons..."

After Zuo Lingquan recounted the gains in the past, the two of them had already walked outside the palace wall, only half a block away from the house.

Zuo Lingquan turned his head and looked at Jiang Yi, who put his chin on his shoulder, and said softly:

"By the way, Senior Wu asked us to do the marriage here, what do you think?"

"marry?"

Jiang Yi raised her cheeks and blushed. After she thought about it seriously, she said:

"Do practitioners also have marriages?"

"Uh……"

Zuo Lingquan recalled, as if he had never heard of a serious immortal holding a wedding banquet, he thought about it and said:

"If a practitioner becomes a Taoist companion, how should they be married?"

Jiang Yi has never been a daoist, but she has been reviewing the case files in the Demon Anti-Monster Division these days, and she probably understood the difference between Xianfan and said:

"People in the practice have long lifespans, and because of the differences in their practice, it is difficult to have a husband and wife who will end up forever. The gap between each other is too big to be able to accompany each other anymore, but there is still incense love, um... It doesn't feel like a worldly husband and wife, more like a partner on the spiritual path, and the relationship is a bit weaker."

Zuo Lingquan shook his head: "That's not a dew marriage, it must not be done like this, let's follow the rules of the world."

Jiang Yi was actually a little hesitant. After all, her talent was much worse than Zuo Lingquan's. She said softly:

"It is inevitable that the relationship between human beings will be weak in practice. The lifespan between husband and wife may differ by hundreds of years. If you are living with a couple like this in the secular world, when your partner dies and disappears, they will inevitably suffer an unbearable blow... For example, You, your cultivation speed is so fast, and now you have a life expectancy of one hundred and fifty-six, and I may already be dead at the age of eighty, and then..."

"When the time comes, I will come to you and say, 'I can live for more than 80 years, why are you half-footed in the ground...'"? ?

Jiang Yi's brewing sadness disappeared, and she raised her hand and smashed it on Zuo Lingquan's shoulder:

"Are you finished? I spent two months in Canyang Pond, and my cultivation has skyrocketed, and I have reached the ninth level of Qi refining. Do you think I can't catch up with you?"

Zuo Lingquan hugged Jiang Yi's thigh and let her lie down:

"This is to stimulate the princess and give you the motivation to catch up. Since you are a husband and wife, you have to accompany you until you are old. The princess can't give up on herself."

"Who gave up on himself? With the help of the imperial concubine, it will be a matter of time before I catch up with you."

Jiang Yi snorted, pondered a little, and said, "I'll go ask the empress and concubine tomorrow to see how immortals marry. She has a profound knowledge and is definitely better than our blind pondering."

The marriage of a man and a woman is a lifelong event, and Zuo Lingquan also felt that it would be better to ask a reliable person, and nodded:

"Okay. Are you going to the palace tomorrow?"

"Hey~ I'm so embarrassed to go to the pool if I don't go to the palace to help, I need to support myself... But the Nine Sects Association has begun, I want to go around the Iron River Valley, you come to the palace tomorrow afternoon, and I will borrow the concubine's boat. Come on, let's go for a walk together, how about?"

"No problem, you can go now."

"I haven't entered the Spirit Valley again. I have to sleep at night. Do you want to boil me to death?"

"Also...then I'll take Jingxing over first..."

"You dare?! She's been out playing for two months. I'm a cow and a horse at home... You don't know how many strange things there are on the spiritual path. Have you heard of snakes?"

"Then what?"

"It's...that's it, you must understand the meaning."

"Xu Xian?"

"Who is Xu Xian?"

...

The two chatted casually, and soon came to the front street of the house.

In the middle of the night, there are no shops in the streets of the residential area, and there are few natural people.

When Zuo Lingquan Road was passing through Jiujiang's house, he probed his eyes and saw that it was empty.

Although Jiang Yi did not leave the palace, there was still someone reporting the situation at home. She explained:

"Song Chi, who we met at Bitan Villa, has already come to the capital and was taken as the inner gate of Iron Arrow Mansion. He even came here to find you, and it should be the residence that Situ shocked. When Song Chi came, Cheng Jiujiang thought it was Jianghu. Xiaoxiao was aggressive and ready to shove people, but when three words were wrong, he moved his hands, and then he was frightened by Song Chi's fist and almost fell to his knees, shouting, 'Heroes, hold on'..."? !

Zuo Lingquan's footsteps stopped, his eyes full of surprises, but thinking about it carefully, Song Chi's boxing skills are terrifying, and his foundation is much more solid than Cheng Jiujiang, who was born in Ye Xiu, so it's not surprising to be scared by a punch. He asked:

"They didn't really fight, did they?"

"Don't you know Cheng Jiujiang's temperament? He is famous for keeping track of current affairs. When he saw Song Chi's boxing skills, he bowed his head and called him Master. Now he is going to learn boxing with Song Chi.

Zuo Lingquan nodded and smiled: "With Song Chi's boxing technique, there is no problem in teaching Lao Cheng. This is also a chance. By the way, have the people who shocked the terrace come over?"

"Come here, they are all in the Iron River Valley, Senior Brother Yue and the others should be among them."

"Is fifth brother in there?"

"I don't know, the relationship between the nine sects is not very good, and I will not let the people from the Demon Hunting Division enter where the Jing Terrace is staying. I don't know who came."

"Oh……"

During the chat, the two entered the gate of the house.

Wu Qingwan had already been looking outside the mansion gate, and when she saw Jiang Yi, she hurried up to greet him.

In front of her auntie, Jiang Yi didn't want to make out with her lover, so she jumped off her back and put her arms around Wu Qingwan's arm directly into the yard...

On the other side, the Tianji Temple is brightly lit.

Leng Zhu put the files that had been organized into volumes for the past two months and put them on the large desk, then retired and left Miyagi.

Shangguan Lingye sat back at the desk where he had been for 80 years again, lacking in interest and no enthusiasm for work.

But he had to do things when he was in hand. After sighing faintly, he carefully checked the case file that Jiang Yi had reviewed.

The palace was very quiet, only the white cat was lying on the desk, shaking the golden bell hanging on the pen hill.

After an unknown amount of time, the paperweight on the desk lit up, and a water curtain appeared in front of him. Situ, who was 'strong and mentally disabled', was shocked, with a beard on his face, and said:

"Master, can you see it?"

Shangguan Lingye had a headache, leaned back on the chair, and said calmly:

"Is something wrong?"

Situ shock stood at the top of a valley. The long canyon was brightly lit and the buildings were uneven. It was like a river of lights flowing on the earth, stretching to the horizon, with many monks walking through it.

Situ raised his hand in shock and gestured to a towering round building in the center of the Iron River Valley, and said:

"Uncle Master, I just sent Master the dossier of the statistics from the Department of Investigation. I heard the elders of the nine sects arguing. Guess what the quarrel is?"

The elders of the nine sects are all talking about the self-interest of the Xian family, and it is too normal to quarrel with each other.

Shangguan Lingye, as the chief officer of Dayan's Demon Suppression Division, is also qualified to listen in and express opinions, but she just came back today and has no time to pass, so she said:

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

"Senior Li Chongjin of Yunshui Jiantan accused Fulongshan's Qingkui and kidnapped his granddaughter; Fulongshan didn't believe it and contacted Xu Mo to inquire about the matter, and then responded, 'It's obviously your girl who posted it by herself', Li Chongjin was shocked when he heard the words. When I was angry, the two families started fighting, Qiu Fengqing and my master were fighting in the middle, and the others were fanning the flames... I was afraid of being beaten to death, so I didn't dare to watch from behind."

Shangguan Lingye blinked:

"What does this have to do with us?"? ?

Situ was shocked to see that Shangguan Lingye 'forgot' that he was a matchmaker, and nodded lightly:

"Uncle said it's okay, then it doesn't matter. And Yun Zhengyang, in order to keep him secret, he tricked him into the Tiezhudongtian to find 'opportunity', he has been in there for a month, and he was shocked on the terrace. Qi Jia has also inquired about the news, so I'm afraid it's not good to go on like this?"

Shangguan Lingye shook his head gently: "Iron Arrow Cave is the treasure of my Iron Arrow Mansion. Letting him in is to save Jiang Taiqing's face. He can't find a way and can only say that he is not lucky enough. What's wrong?"

Situ opened his mouth in shock and cupped his hands:

"Understood, it's the uncle's vision. Speaking of which, when will the Young Palace Master come? I can't wait. Cover Yuelin made a bet below, betting on whether Shangguan Jiulong will be there. ."

Shangguan Lingye shook his head and said, "It's just the bait. Once the iron arrows bet heavily, outsiders will know that Zuo Lingquan will definitely be there, and the odds will change on the spot."

Situ was shocked and felt that it was the same, and he stopped talking nonsense now. After handing over his hands, the picture on the water curtain disappeared.

The palace was quiet again, leaving only one person and one cat.

Shangguan Lingye picked up the case file again, but couldn't calm down.

After reluctantly turning over the recent case files, Shangguan Lingye leaned on the chair of the Grand Master, rubbing his brows in silence.

Sitting in the deep palace for 80 years, no matter how firm the heart of Dao is, it should be shaken.

In the past, I felt that longing for longevity had to endure the loneliness and hardship that ordinary people could not bear, but now I miss the days when I traveled around the world and made a splash on various occasions, and I even miss drinking and chatting with Zuo Lingquan.

I used to think that "everyone is drunk and I wake up alone", and those things that have nothing to do with cultivation have no meaning.

But now that I think about it, if I give up all these things for the sake of longevity, then even if I ask for longevity, will I have to endure this kind of loneliness that I can't even bear for 80 years...

After thinking about it for a long time, Shangguan Lingye sighed faintly, and with a flash, he came to the main hall in front.

The main hall was also silent, the soft carved couch behind the bead curtain was empty, and three sticks of incense were burning on the offering incense table next to it, and a few green smoke drifted over the picture scroll on the wall.

Shangguan Lingye walked slowly to the incense table and looked at the woman in the golden skirt above. After a long silence, he raised his hand and bowed:

"Master. I... I don't want to stay here anymore."

Similar words have been said many times.

Shangguan Lingye's tone was very calm, and he didn't expect too much in his heart, because Master had not seen her for decades, and he was unable to speak when he saw her a few days ago.

But what surprised Shangguan Lingye was that the picture scroll in front of him soon responded that the portrait of the woman in the golden skirt was gradually illusory, showing a three-dimensional sense, and then slowly walked out of the picture scroll and fell in front of the incense table. ! !

Shangguan Lingye was slightly startled, and quickly bent over and cupped his hands, nervously saying:

"Meet Master."

The woman in the golden skirt slowly landed in front of the incense table. She was tall and looked down at the beautiful woman in palace dress in front of her. They were dressed differently from each other. From the outside, she looked like a rebellious tall girl, and she looked down at the well-behaved auntie.

However, the aura of the woman in the golden skirt is too strong, even without any movement, she can still feel the mountain-like pressure, and it is clear at a glance who is the elder.

Shangguan Lingye's temperament was already very dignified in the past, but now he looks like a child who has made a mistake. He doesn't dare to look up when he looks at the dragon scale skirt in front of him.

Only when Shangguan Yutang is facing Shangguan Lingye, will there be more intimacy of the elders in his eyes:

"What's up?"

Shangguan Lingye did not look directly into the eyes of the ancestor, and said seriously:

"The disciple has been serving as a worshiper in the Dayan Dynasty for 80 years, and it has already exceeded the time limit for serving as a worshiper abroad. I don't know..."

"When did I make you an offering?"

Shangguan Lingye choked for a moment, hesitated, and said:

"Master asked me to come to the world to be a concubine..."

"I thought you would discuss with me about your life-long event, but I didn't expect you to come here without a word."

"..."

Shangguan Lingye opened his mouth. Originally, he had a lot of excuses to complain about Shizun, but at this time he didn't want to say it, and it was pointless to say it.

She raised her eyes and looked at Master calmly as usual:

"Disciple knows I'm wrong, I should have my own opinion."

Shangguan Yutang nodded lightly: "Since you want to understand, let's go. Where do you want to go?"

Shangguan Lingye was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the ancestor to agree so easily, but soon, his eyes showed a blank look again.

where to……

If the old ancestor let her leave, she would immediately go overseas to experience and improve her cultivation madly until she took over the burden of the old ancestor.

But at this moment, I suddenly found that it is meaningless to cultivate alone. I want to go to Zuo Lingquan for a drink and celebrate, and then go to the Nine Sect Association to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger...

Such a hopeless idea is obviously not easy to talk about.

Shangguan Lingye was silent and said softly:

"Disciple hasn't thought about it yet, can Master give some pointers?"

Shangguan Yutang sighed secretly, shook his head and said:

"I will eventually escape into reincarnation, and I can help you with ideas when I am there. Who should you listen to when I die? Don't put your future in the hands of others. The choices I make may not be able to lead you. If the result is good, only the path you choose can you go to the end without any regrets.”

Shangguan Lingye has been alone for so many years, but she has already figured out the truth. She nodded lightly:

"The disciple will stay for a while, and then report it to Master after thinking about it clearly."

"You don't have to report to me, you're a hundred years old, not the little girl you used to be. When I was a hundred years old... um~..."

In the solemn and solemn hall, an untimely humming sounded abruptly.

The hall fell silent.

Shangguan Lingye, who was listening to the words of the ancestor, looked astonished. She didn't believe that after killing her, the ancestor would make such a spring-like gasp.

But there are no outsiders in the hall, not the ancestors, and it can't be herself.

Shangguan Lingye instinctively looked up at Shizun~www.wuxiahere.com~, but saw Shizun looking at the top of the palace with a serious and cold face, as if he had encountered a very powerful monster. ? ?

Shangguan Lingye's eyes also became solemn, he looked up at the palace dome, and asked:

"Master, what was that voice just now?"

"It's not as a teacher, there are strong people in the sky spying, it's the dead mother-in-law of the Peach Blossom who is making trouble."

"Dead mother-in-law?... Didn't Shizun always call the Taohua Zunzhu the old witch?"

"That's right...you go back to the dormitory and think carefully about what you just said. You will meet the old witch for the sake of your teacher."

After Shangguan Yutang finished speaking, his figure floated up, like a ghost in golden clothes, slowly floating out of the dome of the main hall and disappeared without a trace.

Shangguan Lingye was a little dazed. He didn't understand how Venerable Peach Blossom could spy on this place and interfere with Master, making Master make such a strange sound.

But the old ancestor's words were heaven, let her go back to think about the conversation just now, she didn't dare to follow to watch the fun, and after bowing her hands, her figure disappeared in place...
