Chapter 5 Beautiful scenery(1/2)
Taohuatan is a famous sect in nine sects. Cultivators from the outer sects come to visit. No matter whether the matter is completed or not, the way of treating guests will not be missing.
After coming out from under the ancestral tree, Zuo Lingquan came to Qingwan and the others, accompanied by Mrs. Hua Zhu to appreciate the customs and customs of Taohuatan.
Taohuatan is good at farming and weaving. The sect is not as full of killing spirit as the Iron Mansion, and even lacks the urgency of "step by step" in the path of cultivation. It is relatively rare to live a peaceful life with a bit of leisure.
Although it is as old-fashioned as Fulong Mountain and emphasizes hiding in the mountains and fields, Taohuatan is not without contact with the world; the spiritual fields cover the entire eastern plain, and the area is too large, and the cost of relying on disciples alone is too high. Many towns on the plain are actually considered tenants of Taohuatan, and the relationship between immortals and mortals is much closer than that of the other nine sects.
Although the words and deeds of the Peach Blossom Lord are a bit unrestrained, his contribution to the secular world is only stronger than other lords. With the continuous iterative breeding and weaving technology, the problem of not having enough food or clothing in the secular world has been solved. In the eyes of the secular world, it is definitely more useful than the lords who are invisible to other aspects. The entire nine secular world dynasties will worship the God of Governor on March 3rd, which is also because of this principle.
After a tour, it was afternoon. People in the practice did not eat grains, so naturally they did not prepare a banquet. Mrs. Hua Zhu brought the three of them to the guest room in the sect.
The guest room is a bamboo building, which is as small as other buildings in Taohuatan. It is built against mountains and rivers. It can overlook the panoramic view of Taohuatan. It is surrounded by vegetation and is very private. There is no need to worry about being disturbed. There are also places for monks to practice, which can be said to be complete.
Zuo Lingquan checked in the bamboo building. After waiting for the receptionist to leave, he went out alone to the forest path. He first came to Wu Qingwan's place. He took a look outside the bamboo building, but found that the door was closed and there was a sign for Do Not Disturb on it.
Zuo Lingquan was a little confused. He walked outside the door and raised his hand and knocked. The sound of footsteps sounded inside, but the door did not open. Only Wu Qingwan's voice came through the door:
"What are you here to do? Go back quickly. Mrs. Hua Zhu thought... it's not right. I am your teacher. You ran into my house at night and people would see that they had a wrong idea?"
Zuo Lingquan looked up and saw that it was getting dark, and he was a little funny:
"I just came over to see what the environment is like, and I didn't have any other bad thoughts."
"I don't know you yet. If you come in and say less than three words, you have to do that... This is someone else's place. Be honest and go back to practice."
Zuo Lingquan felt that Qingwan still didn’t understand him enough. What does it mean to ‘get your hands and feet in less than three sentences’? Shouldn’t you just start talking first and then start talking?
Qingwan refused to open the door like a thief, and Zuo Lingquan did not force himself to break in. After asking about his well-being, he turned around and came to the bamboo building where Shangguan Lingye was.
Walking through the forest path surrounded by strange flowers and woods, the elegant building soon appeared in front of you. The door was open, and you could see Shangguan Lingye sitting at the window on the second floor, burying his head with the business that had not been dealt with today.
Tuanzi, with a white cat, stood in the wind on the roof of the roof. The white fur moved with the wind. Looking at the endless sea of flowers, it had the meaning of "there are so many beautiful birds and birds."
By the way, the nine phoenixes dominate the south, which does not refer to the south of the nine sects alone. No matter where people stand in Yuyaozhou, they will be divided into southeast, southwest and northwest. The south is in Jiufeng, but the farther away from the Antarctic, the weaker the power, and vice versa. This is why, to destroy the thief, the entire Yuyaozhou must be sunk, rather than just breaking the nine sects in the south.
When Zuo Lingquan saw the stinky dumpling, he smiled slightly, and without disturbing him, he walked into the bamboo building and arrived at the second floor.
The monk who can enjoy the treatment of a single family in Taohuatan is also the leader and elder of the small sect. He is embarrassed to enter the door because his cultivation is too low. His cultivation is high, so he naturally has little need for sleep.
Although the second floor is a dormitory, the bed is very simple. It is a bamboo couch that is placed in a corner inconspicuous place; the place used for cultivation is much more gorgeous. The gilded array pattern is carved on the floor, and there is copper crane incense behind it. Even the futon is made of precious silk from Taohuatan, with auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts embroidered on it, making people feel that they can become immortals without practicing.
In addition, the second floor is equipped with piano table paintings and other objects, which can play piano and paint on the terrace facing Taohuatan to cultivate your body and mind.
Before Shangguan Lingye was finished, Zuo Lingquan could not help, so he did not disturb him. He came to the terrace, looked at the endless sea of flowers under the sunset, and took a light breath.
The blue waves and clear pond, the pink flowers and sunset.
There are not as many ethereal and vast as the Heavenly Palace, nor are they touching the fireworks and dust of the world. What I want to talk about in heaven and earth is this kind of place.
Zuo Lingquan raised his right hand and took out the wine jar, hoping to improvise a poem to match this beautiful scenery, but after a while, he couldn't recall it, so wine was naturally not easy to put on his mouth.
Shangguan Lingye had already dealt with a lot of things on the boat during the day. After a short while of resting, he finished the file to be approved today.
She put away her things, got up and went to the door, and saw Zuo Lingquan standing gracefully on the terrace, looking like she was about to drink and sing, and was full of expectations. As a result, after waiting for a long time, she said:
"There are peaches in Taohuatan, the peach fairy in Taohuatan, and the peach fairy in Taohuatan... well... there are peaches."
Shangguan Lingye rolled his eyes, came to him, snatched the serious immortal wine from Zuo Lingquan, took it in his hand, and asked:
"What's the result when I went to meet the Lord Peach Blossom today?"
After Zuo Lingquan left the ancestral tree, he followed Mrs. Hua Zhu to visit the garden. He had no chance to negotiate with Shangguan Lingye. He came here for this purpose.
Zuo Lingquan turned around, sat on the ground on the terrace, took out two wine bowls from Linglong Pavilion, shook his head and said:
"I haven't received it yet, but the Lord of Peach Blossom said he would definitely give it, that's..."
When Zuo Lingquan said this, he looked at the canopy of the tree covering the sky at the end of his vision, and was a little hesitant.
Shangguan Lingye knew what Zuo Lingquan was worried about and explained:
"Rules are the basis for the alliance of the nine sects. Among the alliances of the nine sects, there is a special one, 'The sect visitor, the master must not try to monitor', otherwise the business will be impossible; the Peach Blossom Lord is one of the leaders of the nine sects, and will not make an exception because of you and me. If the master catches the handle, she will become unreasonable even if she is right."
Zuo Lingquan thought about it, but he still felt that it was better to be careful and said it more tactfully:
"I feel that the Lord of Peach Blossom is quite special. Last time I came out of Macheng County, I saw Lord of Peach Blossom grabbing Shangguan's Ancestor's...'s arms swaying. I thought she was free and easy, but today I saw that she was full of fairy spirit and had a very talented demeanor..."
"She's pretending."
"Well... I only found out until the end of the conversation that the Lord Peach Blossom said..."
It was difficult for Zuo Lingquan to describe the views of the Lord of Peach Blossom, so he repeated the conversation between the two with Shangguan Lingye.
Shangguan Lingye sat beside him and listened, opening the exquisitely crafted wine jar. The rich aroma of wine suddenly spread out, which was completely different from the private label "Immortal Drunkenness" I saw in the path of practice before. It smelled it and made people feel overwhelmed.
Hearing the last request from the Lord of Peach Blossom, Shangguan Lingye raised his hand to pour wine and said inexplicably:
"The closer you are to your master, you have to be to her? What is this requirement?"
Zuo Lingquan took the wine bowl and shook his head and sighed:
"The original intention is understandable. The rich water will not flow to the outsiders' fields. The Lord of Peach Blossom is already very sensible. If it were someone else who had a bad relationship with the ancestor, I would probably not let me in. However, this requirement is not difficult to say, but it is not feasible to do. Friends are divided into depth, so how can my relationship with the two of you be exactly the same?"
Shangguan Lingye thought, hesitated for a while, and asked:
"How close are you to your Master?"
How close to you...
I kissed my mouth and touched the white jade tiger. Although it was a quiet body, the ancestor reacted very strongly...
These slutty words gave Zuo Lingquan a hundred courage, and it was not easy to say them in front of Shangguan Lingye. He thought about it:
"Well... it's not easy to describe. Jingxian has a good relationship with the ancestor. I met the ancestor through Jingxian. In the eyes of the ancestor, I should be considered... the husband of the younger generation, and the younger generation who is more optimistic?"
This is not appropriate, but it is relatively close.
Shangguan Lingye nodded slightly, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. He coughed twice by the wine that was soaring to the cover of the sky. His face turned red and tears almost came out.
"Ahem... is this wine consumed by people?"
Zuo Lingquan also took a sip when he heard the sound, and his reaction was similar to Shangguan Lingye. He almost choked to death. He suppressed his drunkenness and responded:
"This is what the gods drink, but ordinary people really can't drink it."
Shangguan Lingye took a sip and his cheeks were flushed. He didn't dare to take them in big mouthfuls. He turned to a small mouthful and continued to talk about the main things:
"The request of Lord Taohua is not achieved. Think about it, if you have the same relationship as Master, you must first have the same identity. You must first find a woman with Lord Taoism who is similar to Tang Jingyan as a Taoist partner by Lord Taohua."
Zuo Lingquan shook his head: "Let's not talk about the Taoist couple for now. Jingxian is unique. His relationship with the ancestor is 'a good sister if you have something to do, but a woman if you have nothing to do'. How could there be such a woman around the Lord of Peach Blossom?"
“…”
When Shangguan Lingye heard this, a very terrible thought suddenly flashed into his mind!
She looked around and leaned closer and said:
"Actually, the relationship between the Lord Peach Blossom and Master is 'If you have something to do, you will be good at Yutang, and if you have nothing to do, the old witch'..."?!
Zuo Lingquan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hand to signal the big Shangguan baby to stop talking:
"The Queen Mother, you can't say this nonsense. I want to live two more years."
"I'm just talking casually, and analyzing this proposal is not feasible."
Shangguan Lingye smiled and continued, "Even if you are really brave, you can't do that with your master, because your relationship with your master is one step closer; if you want to be like your master, you can only go further; if you make progress, you must have a big or small difference. The master of Peach Blossom is not the match for your master, so the statement that your relationship is equal and equal can never be achieved."
Zuo Lingquan was frightened when he heard this. He shook his head and said:
"I think the meaning of the Lord Taohua is to make me regard Taohuatan as much as the ancestor. After the opportunity is developed, I will not favor one or the other, and will only stand on the ancestor's side in the future. Without the foundation of friendship, even if I swear, it will be difficult for me to convince the Lord Taohua. I still have to take it slowly, and the relationship will naturally become closer after a long time. I didn't know the concubine before, and now I am sitting together and talking about everything and having fun."
Shangguan Lingye was a little tired of sitting upright, so he leaned on the terrace fence, stretched his legs straight, put his left leg on his right leg, swaying the tip of his shoes:
"I am different from the Lord Taohua. I am only eighty years older than you, and the difference in cultivation is not as big as that of an immortal. If you have free time to accompany you around and experience each other, you can accumulate friendship. Lord Taohua is thousands of years older than you, so what can I do if I follow you around? Just like Master, the matter is over when Master comes out. What can you experience? This is not a friend, and you can only treat others as a noble elder."
Zuo Lingquan sighed softly. In this way, things were in a deadlock. He could only wait for the Peach Blossom Lord to change his mind, otherwise it would be useless to talk. He stopped talking about this and looked behind him:
"I heard that after crossing this mountain range, I will reach the boundary of Zhongzhou. Do you want to go to Jianhuang City to have a look in a few days?"
Shangguan Lingye's cheeks showed an indifferent look:
"I can do business wherever you go, I can go wherever you go."
Speaking of this, maybe I found that my words were a little ambiguous, Shangguan Lingye added:
"I agreed to protect you, and I just need to pay enough."
Zuo Lingquan smiled knowingly and nodded slightly.
There is the setting sun in the sky, and there are endless peach blossoms in front of you. The beautiful scenery makes people feel like they touch the wine glass, so they don’t want to stop again.
Shangguan Lingye held the wine bowl and found that there was no topic. He pursed his lips and wanted to pick up the topic, but he didn't expect to say anything for a moment.
The same is true for Zuo Lingquan. There are many irrelevant topics to talk about, but now it seems that everything is a bit unsightly. You should talk about love under the moon...
The two of them suddenly fell silently, and a little strange embarrassment appeared in the dissipating fragrance of wine.
"Um……"
"Say, what's the matter, I won't hit you."
Zuo Lingquan rubbed his fingers, looked at Shangguan Lingye's ankles, and said with a smile:
"Didn't the Empress like to show off your newly made stockings in front of me? I don't seem to have seen the Empress show off these days."
To be continued...
