Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 404 Be ruthless!

"The snake gallbladder has been packaged for the Immortal Elder. The Immortal Elder can see that he is not mediocre. If there is a batch of good-quality pills, and it is not convenient to sell them in person, you can come to a small shop..."

"No problem, let's go."

"Hey, please walk slowly..."

…

In the Jiugongshan Market, an unattractive old man walked out of the medicine shop with a box of medicinal materials. After walking for a while on the bustling street, he turned into an alley, collected the medicinal materials into Linglong Pavilion, and rose against the wind towards the southwest border. fly away.

Not far from Jiugong Mountain, the old man lowered his head and glanced - there were many people walking on the official road on the ground, among them was a round-faced girl and a handsome young man.

Although he didn't know each other, the old man felt that these two young people seemed to be concealing their morality, and they didn't look like simple disciples of a small sect.

But in a foreign country, the old man didn't think about it, and he didn't pay attention after flying over.

The old man's name is Shen Changlin, and he was honored as "Yan Wangchou" by people in Beishouzhou. He is a doctor by profession and has a high reputation.

However, the essence of practice is that the strong are respected. The status of craftsmen and doctors depends only on whether they are asked for. Those who cannot count on them will not take them seriously, and this reputation will naturally not be spread. go outside.

This is like Shen Changlin's senior sister who has never met, who is the lord in Dongzhou, no one dares to provoke, even the Valkyrie dares to contradict, but when she goes outside, she becomes a paper tiger, and even the ancestor of a small sect can't restrain her live.

Shen Changlin came to Kui Bingzhou, naturally not to buy snake gall and refine the 'Longyang elixir' to honor his master.

Although Shen Changlin also felt that the master was celibate for a lifetime, which did not conform to the law of the law of life, but as an apprentice, how could he dare to urge the master to marry, and he didn't think anyone could match up with the master.

The master is counted by seniority, one generation higher than the Valkyrie, and by age, everyone is a grandson. The human monks of the same age in the world are probably the old man Shang Yin; even if the master does not despise Shang Yin, It's awkward for him to be an apprentice, he might as well be single all the time.

When Shen Changlin came here, he happened to pass by, and was invited by Chiwu Xingjun Xun Mingzhang to go to acupuncture and moxibustion, and dropped by Cangsha Ancient River to deliver a letter to his old acquaintance.

Shen Changlin walked against the wind, and flew southwest about thousands of miles of mountains and waters, and gradually reached the periphery of the Cangsha Ancient River.

The Cangsha Ancient River sounds absurd, but the actual meaning is very straightforward. It is an ancient river with a lot of white sand.

The Cangsha Ancient River used to be very large, with the narrowest point stretching for several miles. There are many old sites of large lakes along the line, extending all the way to the mouth of the south coast; The river extends from the ground to the north and south.

Just as Shen Changlin approached the ancient Cangsha River, a monk came up from the mountains to check against the wind. After he took out the badge of Xiangyang City, he entered it smoothly. Under the leadership of the monk, he came to the vicinity of a large lake in the middle of the ancient river. .

Although the river has long since dried up, the large lake in the middle of the river has running water. The lake with a radius of tens of miles is surrounded by formations, and there are many aquatic spirit beasts moving inside. .

Shen Changlin landed by the lake, and soon came to a manor by the lake. When he entered the door, he saw a naive land tortoise lying on his back in the yard. It was nearly two feet long and looked like a hill; A khaki tortoise shell, and a person standing in front of it feeding fruit.

"Yo, I haven't seen Brother Gui for so many years, and I have learned to enjoy it."

"hold head high……"

Shen Chang walked up to the land tortoise, took out the snake gall bought at the pharmacy, threw it into the land tortoise's mouth, felt it on the head, and then entered the main hall of the manor.

In the main hall, a woman with a woman's bun came out after hearing the sound, her steps were fast, and she raised her hand when she met her:

"Shen Fellow Daoist has come from afar, and has never gone out to greet her, please..."

"Oh, you're welcome."

Shen Changlin sat down beside the tea table, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to the familiar-looking woman:

"It's just a quick errand. We've known each other for so many years. I can't help you. I only came to visit once in many years. I should be the one to say sorry."

The woman took the letter, put it directly into her sleeve, and asked:

"Did the Immortal Lord Mei also come over? I see that there are more new faces on the Azure Dragon Lake. There is a scholar named Hou Shuyu who has been here once..."

"No one can be sure of Master's movements."

When Shen Changlin said this, he shook his head and sighed: "Some things, we know too much and we are in a hurry. It's better not to know. You should read the letter."

When the woman saw this, she also sighed quietly.

The two chatted for a long time, and there was another noise outside the main hall. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl jumped in and ran in, holding a turtle shell in her hand:

"Master, Senior Brother Han found a turtle shell outside. I have never seen it before. Take a look~"

Shen Changlin glanced at the turtle shell, slightly surprised, and said with a smile:

"In Jiugong Mountain just now, I saw this turtle shell. A little girl was buying it and bargaining with the stall owner. She was very talkative. I didn't expect that I didn't buy it in the end."

"Yeah?"

The woman took the tortoise shell, looked at it for a few times, and nodded slightly: "The tortoise shell of Dual Pupils is indeed rare...Have you ever asked where it comes from?"

"Senior Brother Han forgot to ask..."

"oh……"

————

It was getting dark.

Outside the Cangsha Ancient River, there are hundreds of miles of barren mountains and ridges with no human habitation. As soon as the sun sets, the calls of unknown birds can be heard in the mountains and forests:

"Woo...Woo..."

A group of monks flew through the dense forest with their swords, and soon there were secret sentries rising from the dense forest to intercept and investigate. The defense was extremely tight.

Standing under a pine tree, Zuo Lingquan couldn't help but frown secretly when he saw this scene from a distance.

Xie Qiutao stood behind Zuo Lingquan, his face a little dazed, but it was much better than at the market. He suppressed his emotions deeply and just looked at the mountains in the distance silently.

Zuo Lingquan looked at it for a long time. The group of monks he was following gradually disappeared into the barren mountains. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said:

"The defense is too tight. There are probably hidden sentries and warning formations inside the mountain, making it difficult to enter."

Xie Qiutao nodded lightly without saying anything.

Zuo Lingquan sighed secretly and raised his hand to smooth Qiutao's hair beside her ears:

"Don't be so anxious. If you can find the Black Tortoise station sign, it means your parents are fine. This is a good thing..."

Xie Qiutao pursed her lips, with some mist in her eyes, and whispered:

"certainly not."

"Um?"

"My parents will not collude with the evil heretics, let alone pass on their family knowledge to the evil heretics... That person just now must have used vicious tricks to steal my parents' inheritance, or he must have pretended to be someone else..."

Xie Qiutao's voice became softer and quieter. By the end of the sentence, he was so distraught that he couldn't bear it anymore and was about to cry.

Zuo Lingquan shook his head, opened his arms, took Qiu Tao, who was only as high as his shoulders, into his arms and gently stroked her back:

"Okay, as long as people are still here, there are infinite possibilities. It's too early to draw conclusions now. When Miss Qiu comes, we can discuss and find a way. It would be bad if Miss Qiu sees her crying..."

"Um……"

At this moment, Xie Qiutao couldn't help but blush. He raised his hand slightly, and finally put it down. He rested his forehead on Zuo Lingquan's chest and remained silent.

Zuo Lingquan had no intention of taking advantage. He put his cheek against Qiu Tao's hair and comforted her softly. After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Miss Qiu touched her from behind.

Miss Qiu and Jingxun kept a distance and followed behind. At this time, they were extremely careful and walked a few feet away from the two of them before revealing their figures.

Tang Jingxun only knew that Zuo Lingquan and Qiu Tao were following a group of people, but did not know the specific reason. Seeing the two hugging each other, he was a little surprised:

"Xiao Zuo, Qiu Tao..."

"grumble?"

The dumpling flew onto Zuo Lingquan's arm, his head got into the gap between their bodies, and he glanced up at Qiutao's face.

Zuo Lingquan made a shushing gesture, came up to him, and explained what he had just seen and guessed.

Miss Qiu knew about Qiutao's life experience. She frowned when she heard this and turned to look at the mountains and fields:

"It's just a sign. It doesn't mean anything. Let's find a way to get in first."

Zuo Lingquan was a bit confused: "The defense is too tight. There are countless warning formations hidden in the mountain. Qiu Tao will definitely find them all, and I don't know much about them. Are you confident about sneaking in?"

Miss Qiu had learned formations, but as a sword cultivator, she had only scratched the surface. She didn't think she could silently enter a forbidden area that was strictly guarded by aliens. She thought for a moment and then looked at Tuanzi.

Zuo Lingquan shook his head: "If Tuanzi pretends to be an ordinary bird, he won't be suspected at most. If he flies in like a swagger, something might happen."

Tang Jingxun looked at the two of them with their brows furrowed and could not help. The first thing that came to his mind must be the good wife, so he said:

"How about asking my mother-in-law?"

Zuo Lingquan had no objection to this proposal and nodded.

When Tang Jingxuan saw this, he began to be stunned silently.

But after a moment, golden light appeared in Tang Jingxuan's eyes, and his aura began to change.

When Xie Qiutao saw his ancestor coming directly, he quickly got out of Zuo Lingquan's arms, touched his face, and tried his best to look calm.

Miss Qiu also showed some respect, raised her hand and saluted:

"Senior Shangguan."

After Shangguan Yutang came over, he nodded slightly to Miss Qiu, and then walked directly to the deep mountains and dense forests:

"This place is too well guarded. You can't get in on your own. I'll go in front and you will follow behind. If anything happens, retreat immediately and don't worry about me."

Don't worry about you? Zuo Lingquan secretly said: You are my wife... No, this is my wife's body, how could I not care...

Zuo Lingquan hesitated for a moment and followed him:

"Senior and I will come together. We can take care of you if anything happens."

Shangguan Yutang did not refuse, but carefully paid attention to the clues in the mountains and fields.

Miss Qiu didn't say much when she saw this, and watched the two of them go away until they reached a safe distance. After the ancestor hooked her hand slightly, she took Qiutao's wrist and followed her silently...

——

The moon was on the branches, and it was already late at night before I knew it.

Zuo Lingquan concealed his aura, only a short distance away from his ancestor, and slowly moved in between the mountains and fields.

A few people came to Cangsha Ancient River to investigate what the Youying alien tribe was brewing. They couldn't alert the enemy, so they couldn't even remove the hidden whistles on the road. They could only go around them and move forward at an extremely slow speed.

Fortunately, Shangguan Yutang has an amazing experience. She has been through all kinds of storms and waves, and there is almost no formation mechanism that can hide her from her. The journey has been smooth and there have been no mistakes. When they reach certain safe areas, they can even communicate with each other. sentence.

This kind of investigative mission has nothing to do with talent and understanding, and relies purely on past experience.

Although Zuo Lingquan knew that his ancestor was very powerful, when he saw her walking in the back garden, he was still a little surprised and took the opportunity to ask:

"Senior, when you traveled before, did you often do this kind of thing where you were alone and in danger?"

"Wealth can be found in danger. If we don't take risks, will opportunities fall into our hands out of thin air?"

"Senior, has anything ever gone wrong?"

"..."

Naturally, Shangguan Yutang had his share of mistakes, many of them.

I was selling materials at an auction house in Nanyu Island. I was deceived and almost got caught by the Independent Cultivator.

In Huajunzhou, he claimed to be the disciple of 'Shangguan Tianba' while raising the banner of tiger skin, but ended up laughing his opponent half to death.

In Kui Bingzhou, he helped Shishi Sword Manor steal back the sword that was snatched away by the Xian family. He pulled out the sword out of curiosity, but the noise was too loud and the ancestor blocked the door.

Wandering around Beishuizhou, I accidentally wandered into Beast Race's city. I was forced to disguise myself as a snake spirit and dress up as a sister with the little female dragon.

In Yuyaozhou, he was not afraid of power, but he did not plant plum blossoms at the door, and even beat up the people who made trouble. As a result, the person in charge at the time, Mei Jinshui, came to his door...

If we were to break down every bit of the past, I would probably be able to write several dangerous biographies of mortals cultivating immortality.

But how could Shangguan Yutang tell others these embarrassing things that ruined the image of the Valkyrie and made even her unable to look back?

"If something had gone wrong, how could I be here today?" Shangguan Yutang's expression was calm, but he was full of strength: "There is no such thing as a sure thing in practice, only foolproofness."

It’s not that Zuo Lingquan didn’t believe this, but he thought about it and said: “To be foolproof, you have to be prudent and cautious, but the ancestor’s behavior is to move forward without retreating. This is both reckless and steady... It feels a bit conflicting.”

"Advance without retreat does not mean that you have to jump forward even if there is a pit ahead, but you must find a way to cross it no matter what, and you cannot stop or even give up halfway. Recklessness lies in the purpose, and you must kill whoever you say you want to kill; stability lies in the process, If you can't beat him head-on, you can assassinate him, do you understand?"

"Enlightenment, sudden enlightenment..."

…

The two people talked nonsense all the way and moved forward carefully. It took about two hours to pass through more than a hundred miles of barren mountains and ridges and arrived at the edge of the ancient river.

After entering the interior, the level of defense was significantly reduced, and people began to appear on the river.

Shangguan Yutang walked along the river, observed the excavation traces in the ancient river, and said:

"Judging from the digging place, the Youying alien race should be looking for the source of the spiritual veins of the Cangsha Ancient River. The Cangsha Ancient River gave birth to an Immortal Emperor. The source of the five elements must be of the highest grade in the world. I just don't know that the alien race is here. Being sneaky, do you want to restore this river, or do you want to take away the remaining source of the Five Elements?"

Zuo Lingquan looked at the ancient river channel full of river sand and said doubtfully:

"There's not a drop of water in this river. Isn't it completely dead?"

"The essence of a river is a channel, not water. If there is no river water now, there will be no rain. If a river that reaches tens of thousands of miles into the sea is to completely die out, it will take tens of millions of years. Don't look at the world with the perspective of a living being. Creation.”

After Shangguan Yutang explained a few words, he walked along the river to the source of the upper reaches, hoping to find the lone monks and try to extract valuable information.

However, the interior of the Cangsha Ancient River is too desolate. The monks who still appear in the river at night are all in groups transporting things or exploring and collecting teams. If you arrest people rashly, you may be noticed, and there has been no suitable target.

Zuo Lingquan followed for hundreds of miles until he reached a river bend and found a target that seemed suitable.

There is nothing in the river bend. The river sand carried by the wind has accumulated on one side of the river bend, forming a sand slope. The silver moonlight shines on it like a snowdrift.

Above the sandy slope is the stone wall on the river bank. There is a woman in a dark blue skirt sitting on the edge of the stone cliff, holding a piece of paper in her hand and looking at it carefully, a little distracted.

But only two miles away from the woman, there was a large lake with brightly lit shores, and the formation streamers could be seen on the lake.

Shangguan Yutang paused, frowned slightly, and looked at the big lake in the distance:

"That's one of the sources of the five elements. Judging from the structure of the formation, it belongs to water. This woman is of high moral character and must know the inside story."

Zuo Lingquan took out his sword and held it in his hand, and asked:

"Go and kidnap her?"

After Shangguan Yutang observed the surrounding situation, he walked forward:

"Be ruthless in your attack, make sure you hit the target in one hit, and don't make any noise."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly, hiding his voice, and quietly touched the mountains and fields outside the river bend with Yutang. After making sure that no one was paying attention around him, he slowly approached the woman sitting by the river.

With Zuo Lingquan's eyesight, he could tell that this woman's morals were not low, but she didn't know what she was looking at.

Based on these circumstances, Zuo Lingquan can roughly infer that this is a woman who sneaked out to read the love letter at night, and there must be no one around to watch, after all, no one would read a love letter in front of outsiders and giggle.

Thinking of this, Zuo Lingquan didn't hesitate any longer. After the two felt that there was still a distance of more than ten feet, they took advantage of the other's distraction and broke out at the same time, rushing to the back of the woman in an instant.

The woman's reaction was not beyond Zuo Lingquan's expectation.

Maybe she was distracted, or maybe she didn't expect to be attacked from the dark inside the Cangsha Ancient River. The woman just moved her ears slightly, and Shangguan Yutang captured her with a tiger's pounce. Any countermeasures can be taken.

Shangguan Yutang's method of tying people up is extremely sophisticated. The moment he got close, his fingers touched the Fengfu acupoint, locking the opponent's blood circulation. At the same time, he covered the woman's mouth with his right hand, twisted her arm with his left hand, and pressed her down. Lying on the ground.

Zuo Lingquan grabbed the controlling woman's right wrist, inserted the Xuanming Sword in front of the woman, and said in a deep voice:

"do not move!"

"Woooo..."

Zuo Lingquan originally thought that this woman would look frightened or panicked.

But what surprised him was that the first thing that appeared on the face of the restrained woman was shame, anger and wariness.

Although I couldn't understand what the other party was saying, I could guess that he was saying "Bold, do you know who I am?"

Obviously, the other party regarded him and Shangguan Yutang as foreign monks who came here in the middle of the night.

Shangguan Yutang pressed on the woman's back in the posture of Wu Song fighting a tiger, and said coldly:

"Be honest, I'm a woman."

Zuo Lingquan also didn't want to be regarded as a prostitute, he said with a slightly cold face:

"The deity only asks something, you don't want to suffer... suffering..."

Before Zuo Lingquan finished speaking, his expression froze suddenly.

In the woman's right hand, she held a letter.

While Zuo Lingquan was speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a line of tiny words in the corner——Xiao Tao is safe and well, and now she has found someone she likes, called Zuo Lingquan, a very good young man, but he was not merciless when stabbing my father-in-law...

Xiaotao...

father in law……

…

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused, feeling that the direction of the matter was beyond his superficial control!

Shangguan Yutang noticed that Zuo Lingquan's aura was fluctuating abnormally, thinking that there was something wrong, and under caution, his hands became a little heavier

But before Shangguan Yutang noticed anything strange around him, he noticed that Zuo Lingquan's eyes were terrified, he let go of the hilt of his sword, hugged her, pulled her away, and shouted anxiously:

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't, don't, don't..."

Shangguan Yutang was caught off guard, she was pinched and hurt, her eyes showed a rare look of shock, she couldn't move her hands and feet while kidnapping people, so she could only glared and said:

"Are you out of your mind?"

"No, no, it's all a misunderstanding, my own..."

? ?

One of our own? !

Shangguan Yutang was stunned.

The woman was almost in a daze, she was pressed so hard for no reason, and she hadn't figured out the situation yet, and the two psychopaths behind her said they were her own, so it was really unclear what the two of them were doing.

After Zuo Lingquan realized who this woman was reading home letters outside in the middle of the night, how could she dare to continue kidnapping her?

Zuo Lingquan hugged Patriarch anxiously, wanting her not to attack too hard, and at the same time said kindly:

"Thank you, Auntie, don't get excited..."

When Shangguan Yutang heard 'Aunt Xie', he already realized who this woman might be.

But so what?

Who is not a mother-in-law?

Shangguan Yutang didn't let go, he was terrified to see Zuo Lingquan's incoherent speech, and said in a deep voice:

"Let go and I'll talk to her."

In fact, there is no need for the ancestor to explain it himself, because the woman has already calmed down.

The woman was firmly held down, and before she could figure out the situation, she saw a woman in white not far away, holding a girl with a round face in her arms, and also covering her mouth with her hands, walking towards her.

The round-faced girl was very excited, she was tightly hugged and covered her mouth, her whole body was still trembling, her big eyes were full of mist, staring straight at her, even though she hadn't seen her for many years, she could still see everything in the girl's eyes at a glance. Emotions……
