  Chapter 230 Fairy Falling to the World

The awning boat passed through wind and rain and came to Macheng County seaside.

Shangguan Lingye wears the imperial concubine's phoenix dress. The golden light is too eye-catching in the market. At this time, there is no way to change outfits with magic methods. He can only row the boat out of the port in a remote place. At that point, the three of them disembarked and landed ashore.

Lu Chen still seems to be a sword-loving quack. After being pointed by Zuo Lingquan, he didn’t even say much. He led the way, kept finger gestures and imitated Zuo Lingquan before he came out. The action of the sword.

Zuo Lingquan didn't bother about this either, supporting Shangguan Lingye to observe the surrounding environment.

Macheng County is an ordinary duny city. No trace of cultivation can be seen. There are trenches everywhere outside the city gate, and there are people patrolling, but they are not armored. It looks like it is not a regular army.

There are some people on the pier, but not many. They are all ragged and armed with swordsmen. People in clean clothes can hardly see them.

Zuo Lingquan and Lu Shen walked from the trail to the vicinity of City Lord Street in the county. There are no complete houses on the streets, there are traces of fire everywhere, and there are sparsely populated and ghost towns.

In such a dilapidated state, there are naturally no shops to open the door for business on the street. As for the Inn? The whole county is full of vacant houses, so I don’t need Inn this thing.

Lu Chen took it for granted. After leading the two to a fairly complete house, he kicked the door open, opened the mouth and said:

"You just live here first Next, this family fled out of the city last year. There should be a bed in it. I live in the front, so I just need to say hello."

Having said that, Lu Chen walked back not far away. A moment later, he took two dried fish and a bowl of rice, and came to the front:

"Brother Zuo, don’t think too much. The county is short of food. I will save it. Yes, if it’s not that you can’t open the pot, you won’t go fishing in the rain; you eat first, and wait for the rain to stop before you think of a solution."

Zuo Lingquan saw the county town, and understood the situation of the people here. He couldn't practice spirit transformation. He also had to eat to fill up the consumption. He didn't refuse at the moment and raised his hand to take it. Although Linglong Pavilion could not be opened, Zuo Lingquan had always had the habit of carrying silver as a spare. He touched an ingot of silver from his waist and handed it to Lu Chen as a thank you.

Lu Chen's life is really not easy. He turned down a few times, but still took it down:   "Brother Zuo is really polite. Just say hello if you need to. Lu Mou who can help is bound to help. "

After watching Lu Chen leave, Zuo Lingquan entered the yard with two dried fish and rice grains.

The courtyard was very chaotic, scattered with a few objects. It should have been raided several times. The doors and windows were open, and all the valuable objects inside were gone, only the old and dilapidated furniture.

Shangguan Lingye's spirit is very weak, and he is a little sleepy when he walks here, and said softly:

"This place looks too remote. It might not be easy to return to Nine Sects. Rest first. Let's take a moment."

She turned around and walked into the main house from under the eaves, looking at the messy old room, there was really no place to settle, and she leaned over to start tidying.

Zuo Lingquan was not injured. After putting things into the kitchen, he came to the front, laid the only thatched wooden bed, took off the tent and put the sheets on it, and took off the outer robe. Spread on the sheets.

Although it's still messy and damp, it looks at least clean and doesn't make people unable to lie down.

Shangguan Lingye cultivator was born, not intolerant of harsh environments, but being able to lie in a clean place is better than squeezing in the dirty thatch. She smiled when she saw it, "I have the heart", she turned her head down. Lying on the robe, patted next to him;

"You take a break, too."

I don't know if this is a joke, or really invite Zuo Lingquan to rest in the same bed.

Zuo Lingquan saw the grandmother of the toffee with her jade body, she really wanted to lie down together, but now is not the time, he helped close the window, shook his head and said:   "I 'm almost out of strength, let's get some Eat, otherwise the more you rest, the weaker you will be. I will cook and Empress will have a good rest."

Shangguan Lingye didn't even want to move his fingers, and closed his beautiful eyes and said:   "Thank you."

…… ——    The torrential rain swept across the county town with many rooms and empty space. The only place where people gathered was the'barracks' built under the city wall.

The total number of people in the barracks is no more than 300 people. Under the troubled times, the rebels have risen all over the place. It is only one of them who are entrenched in Macheng County. The leader Jiang Heng came from outside the North Border Pass. It's a rebellion with a big banner, it's better to say that it is to survive in this chaotic world of cannibalism.

It was noon, and under heavy rain, the army barracks piled up with wooden houses were all muddy. The'Rebels' wrapped in red turbans were still a bit of military discipline. They braved the rain to strengthen the city's defenses.

In a shop with a tea shop sign, a few men sat around a table, two with sabers and one wiping their guns, and a youngster dressed as a talent, whispered in it:    " As the saying goes, "The world must be divided for a long time, and the world must be divided for a long time."..."

"Su fool, you have picked up a robe worn by a scholar, and you really consider yourself a scholar? How many words do you recognize? Don't you? I can’t eat enough of these things, and I don’t want to get food, so I have to disperse in one month at most..."

"One month? Ninghe's Qingjia army all issued an ultimatum. No, I took people to slaughter Macheng County without joining the group. There are four thousand people under his hand, and there are more than 500 elites in armor. There are also bows and crossbows. I think it’s better to worship the mountain. The top spot is better than being tied up as a shield..."

...

Several people hold their own opinions, and they all speak to the leader.

As the leader, Jiang Heng, no matter how popular he is, he can’t make food with his bare hands; but Jiang Heng has great ambitions, and he doesn’t want to be a pawn for the Rape and Pillage Qingjia army. To break the game, I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and came under the eaves alone, looking at the sea in the distance, praying that God would open his eyes and float over a few grain ships or something.

I just stood alone for a while, and I don’t know if God heard his heartbeat. The grain ship didn’t float, but Jiang Heng found the knight-errant who had always been alone, Lu Shen, from the muddy ground. Came over.

Both of them were from the rivers and lakes, and they were making a living in troubled times. Lu Chen didn't like to form cliques. He still walked the way of giving money to do things, and Jiang Heng never recruited them.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Heng thought he was here to surrender. He walked to the front in the rain, said with a smile:

"Lu sword saint, what wind brought you here? "

Lu Chendao also simply: "Do you have any surplus food? Give me a few liters, maybe I can recruit an expert for you."

Jiang Yi As soon as I heard the borrower, my face didn't look good on the spot, so I turned around and left.

"Wait, don't worry."

Lu Chen took Jiang Heng, looked around, whispered:

"Just got it from the sea The two said that the ship sank through here, but I think it must not be that simple. The man among them looks young, but Sword Art is Major Perfection..."

"Sword Art is better than you ??"

"What am I, Old Cao, the old wish in the tea shop, plus me, three hits one, I guess they can't survive three moves."

"What are you doing?" A joke..."

"Who is joking with you? I'm serious."

Lu Chen babbled, leaned closer and said:    "I listen The storyteller said that in times of trouble, Saints must be born. These'Saints' are all immortal sent from the sky to save people from fire and water. I brought those two people today. They look like divine poise and sagelike features. Just like Divine Immortal, especially the expert with the surname Zuo, the sword technique cannot be practiced by humans at all. It is immortal at first sight..."

Jiang Heng saw that Lu Chen spoke very seriously, with an expression. He gradually became serious:    "It seems that there is such a saying... where is the Zuo Zhanxian you said?"

Lu Chen hooked Jiang Heng's shoulder and hooked with his hand. :

"First take a bag of rice, ten catties of meat, two altars of wine, I will send it to others as a meeting ceremony. This expert is naturally an expert party, you may be sincere. To help you achieve your great cause, if you are not sincere, you may switch to the Qingjia Army."

Jiang Heng pulled up a team of hundreds of people, not a fool with a lot of money, he frowned. Come:

"Lu Chen, I respect you as a man, so I treat you nicely. Do you treat me as a three-year-old child?" I want to be the king and hegemony. I will be taught the sword technique for a lifetime. It’s enough for me to learn it for a lifetime. Don’t believe me, I’ve never said this before, lend me a bag of rice first, and I’ll go out to sea to catch two baskets of fish and return it to you in two days. "

"..."

Jiang Heng knows something about Lu Shen, he is not a swindle of the rivers and lakes, he is silent, probably because he feels that he has run out of ammunition and food and has been deceived. A few catties of meat can’t change the situation, so she finally turned around and said:

"Xiaosu, go get a bag of rice, ten catties of meat, two jars of wine... and get another old hen."

Seeing this, Lu Chen, patted Jiang Heng’s shoulder:

"With your vision of knowing people, you can do it major event. ”

…… ——    Papa——

Under the rain curtain, the dilapidated small courtyard lit up the smoke.

Zuo Lingquan Working back and forth in the old kitchen, without dry wood and fire source, I cut a broken window with a saber, and used wood to make a fire, creating a stove fire.

My memory is almost forgotten. Zuo Lingquan actually doesn’t know how to cook, but it’s okay to cook things. Anyway, without oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, I can’t handle it.

The water boiled, and the smell of boiled fish permeated the courtyard.

In the room of the main house, Shangguan Lingye closed his eyes and concentrated. Although he was weak in spirit, he was in an unknown place. I couldn’t sleep. I was thinking about it, and my chest suddenly moved slightly:    "叽……"

A very weak cry sounded.

Shangguan Lingye bulging. The lapels of her clothes were arched twice, Xiao Bai Tuanzi poked his head out from the collar, turned his head and looked towards the kitchen, obviously awakened by the smell of boiled fish.

Shangguan Lingye opened his eyes. He took the dumpling out and put it beside him, and said softly:

"Are you hungry? Linglong Pavilion can't be opened, and the dried fish can't be taken out, so bear with it first. "

"叽~"

The dumpling just woke up, but also a little confused, tilted his head and stunned for a moment, then circled on the bed, looking towards East, South, West, North , It seems to be distinguishing the direction.

After a long while, the dumplings are "chicking?" "He said, "What is this place?" Why is the world of birds missing? "

It's a pity that Shangguan Lingye didn't understand Tuanzi's words. He thought it was puzzled by the current situation, so he just raised his hand and rubbed it. Comforted:   "Where you are lost at sea, don't worry. The day is gone. "

"叽......"

The dumpling is dubious, and it doesn't know why, so it doesn't pay attention anymore, spreading out its small wings and leaning against Shangguan Lingye's chest. With a pitiful look of'Niaoniao too hungry to walk', he sighed.

Shangguan Lingye was a little distressed. Although he was weak, he stood up, held the dumpling and walked out of the main house, and came here. The kitchen at the back.

The house is very old, and there are a few rain leaks on the roof, which are connected with broken bowls.

At this time, the kitchen is burning with firewood and smoke and pots are rising. The steam is mixed together, even people can’t see clearly. You can only see two boots moving in front of the stove.

Shangguan Lingye was raised in the fairy family, and he never had the opportunity to be exposed to the smoke and fire when he was a child. There was something rare in her eyes.

She held the dumplings and walked to the side of the stove. She saw Zuo Lingquan holding the soup spoon and tilted her head to listen to the movement in the lid. The expression is more focused than the cultivator of pill concocting.

"If you don't see it, you will still eat. "

"hehe, cooking skills are average." "

Zuo Lingquan put down the spoon, and said with concern:

"Why did you get up?" Feeling uncomfortable falling asleep? "

"Dumpling woke up by the gluttonous fish, the rice is not cooked, let's feed it first." "

"叽~"

The dumpling lay on Shangguan Lingye's palm, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his head. He just opened the bird's beak and asked for the dried fish. Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan felt distressed, and raised his hand to lift the lid of the pot.

The billowing white mist rose up, and as the water mist dissipated, it became steamed The rice appeared in the pot.

The dumplings were no longer picky at this time. They jumped onto the stove and looked into the iron pot, but they saw a circle between the brown rice that was yellowed. The dried salted fish may be for the sake of good-looking presentation. The two fish heads are still inserted in the middle, staring at the sky blindly.

"......? ! "

The imperial empress who was preparing to praise the man, beautiful and alluring, with a slightly stiff smile, then tilted his head, opened his lips, and didn't expect appropriate words to evaluate.

The dumpling was screaming and roaring, but when he saw the rice in the pot, he stayed for a while, and then took a step back, "Chiji? "Two beeps, it seems to mean "Suddenly you are not hungry, you eat first, don't care about the birds".

Zuo Lingquan feels good about himself, picks up a piece of salted fish with chopsticks, grabs the dumplings, and collects them. To the bird's beak:   "We have enough food, don't be modest, you can't eat much, come on, open your mouth. "

"叽?" ! "

The dumpling's eyes were filled with confusion, and he turned his head to avoid it.

Shangguan Lingye stared at his eyes, his expression was hard to say, think about it or help to tear the fish into small fish sticks, the two of them Work together and stuff it into the dumpling's mouth.

"gu gu ……"

The dumplings were originally unlovable, but after tasting a piece, I accidentally discovered that it tastes too. It’s not terrifying, and then I gobbled it up.

Shangguan Lingye pursed his mouth and thought it was inappropriate to let Zuo Lingquan work alone. He turned around and fetched the washed bowl and filled the salted fish with a spoon. Two bowls.

Shangguan Lingye is still wearing a phoenix skirt, from head to toe reveals grace and beauty, and he is full of Immortal Qi, holding a spoon to serve rice next to the stove, the contrast is strong in the picture To make people feel unreality.

Zuo Lingquan watched for a while. He wanted to compliment a few words of virtuousness, but in the end he exclaimed:

"I remember the first time I saw Empress At the time, Empress had a cold and frightening personality, without any sparkle. Less than a year before and after, the change is really big. "

Shangguan Lingye earnestly pressed the rice into the porcelain, added two more fish to Zuo Lingquan, and responded calmly:

"Why?" Feel that this palace is not enough for immortals, so dull? "

Suddenly tasteless...?    How could it be...

This slightly ambiguous sentence really stumped Zuo Lingquan, no answer is appropriate. , I laughed and didn’t answer the conversation.

Although the meal is not very tasty, it is full of portions, enough to fill the stomach, and the two didn’t care too much.

There were no tables and chairs in the room, and the two of them stood on the edge of the stove and began to dry their meals. The dumplings squatted in the middle, begging for food one by one.

Shangguan Lingye seventy-eighty year untouched The fireworks in the world, not suitable for the occasion of eating with men, turned out to be a bit shy, turned around and turned his back to Zuo Lingquan, and then started to eat slowly.

Zuo Lingquan was hungry.

I am relieved, and I am not so particular, holding a bowl and gobbled it up, feeding a bite of dumplings from time to time.

If two people are not incompatible with the environment, at first glance, they really look like a pair of miserable mandarin ducks.

However, the trouble is that the body of the person in the cultivation is different from the ordinary people. The whole grains can not support the consumption of the body.

Zuo Lingquan feels that it is now. You can eat only one cow by yourself. Grandma Shangguan can eat two; a bowl of rice and two salted fish, not to mention the half-step Jade Step like Shangguan Lingye, even dumplings are not enough.

Unconsciously, a pot of rice was cleaned, and the two of them ate at most half a half full; the dumplings were still not enough, and their dark eyes stared at the iron pot, looking like they wanted to eat the pot.

Although it was not enough to eat, But there is something in my stomach, and my body is always recovered.

The most important thing now is to return to Nine Sects as soon as possible. At worst, I have to find a place with aura to restore my strength.

After finishing the meal, Shangguan Lingye took water from the well to wash, and came to the steps with the dumplings, looking at the feng shui weather around the county town, hoping to find some clues.

What a pity. And it was desolate, and I couldn’t see anything after watching it for a long time.

After Zuo Lingquan cleaned up the kitchen, he saw that Shangguan Lingquan's operation was not affected, so he wanted to go out to find out the news and find some food back. Regain physical strength.

He digs through the yard and finds a piece of clothing that he gave to Shangguan Lingye to cover the rain and the eye-catching palace dress on his body, but before the clothing was handed to Shangguan Lingye, he heard the distance. There was a bit of noise from the streets of Shangguan.

"Over there..."

"It's really a damn thing..."

Shangguan Lingye's face is light and clear Dan, but my heart is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. The wall probe looked towards the street and saw a few men wearing red turbans running in one direction.

Zuo Lingquan raised his sword and came to the door to look at it. He didn't see why, but found that the young official Lu Chen was carrying a lot of things and turned into the alley from the street. His face was not very good.

After Lu Chenyao saw him, he put away his emotions, raised his hand and motioned to the bacon hen he was carrying:    "The leader Jiang of the rebel army heard that you have fled to this point and gave it to Order some rice and let me bring it for you. Chief Jiang is a good leader, but there are hundreds of mouths waiting to eat, and I can’t even get too much food..."

"How ashamed of this..."

As the saying goes, nothing can be done without gain. Zuo Lingquan was so relieved that his face was a bit unbearable. He greeted him and joined hands. After a few words of thanks, he asked:

"Old Brother Lu, what happened on the street?"

When Lu Chen talked about this, the emotions on his face showed up again. He shook his head and said angrily:    "Someone just noticed that there was a port. One family was killed. That family was the family of the rebels. Five people, all of them old and young, were all dead except for a girl who was not at home. I just went to inspect and found that all the dead were nailed through the back of their heads before they died. I have been tortured, piercing my tongue, piercing my ears, and twisting my limbs off; the blood is very new, and the murderer used his hands at most one hour ago, and the words were written in blood on the ground, but there are not a few literate people in the county who can’t understand the meaning. Now the rebels are searching everywhere, and the murderer has not been found..."

While speaking, Lu Chen looked at Zuo Lingquan's robe imperceptibly, apparently looking for blood.

All acquaintances left in the county town, only Zuo Lingquan just arrived, and the time of appearance is very consistent with the time of the crime. It is not surprising to be suspected, Zuo Lingquan naturally doesn't mind.

Shangguan Lingye stood at the gate of the courtyard, and heard this narration from afar, her clear eyes slowly cooled down-she had been in the Demon Division for eighty years and was already familiar with this way of killing people. .

The purpose of piercing the tongue, piercing the ears, and nailing the Fengfu acupoint behind the head is to seal the six senses, so that after death, the soul will not dissipate quickly; torture is to stimulate people His hatred and resentment are more likely to turn into ghosts after death.

These are the basic techniques of evil cultivator refining soul or making corpse puppets.

Shangguan Lingye has dealt with this kind of things all the year round, and he has left a mark on the bottom of his heart. He hates this kind of incident, and has guessed who the murderer is. Said:

"Where is the crime? Take us to see."

Zuo Lingquan estimated that the murderer was the alien cultivator he met in the cave. He also frowned and gestured. Lu Shen leads the way.

Lu Chen felt that the two were not like murderers, so he dared to come to the door. He didn't say much at the moment. After putting the food in the yard, he took the two out of the lane with them...
