Chapter 68 Between the Ruins (Eighth)
The night was getting deeper, and the lights were already turned off in Qihuang Valley. Many disciples had already gone to bed. Only those who were about to set off tomorrow were still receiving instructions from the teachers in the main hall.
In the stone chamber behind the waterfall, Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and refining his energy carefully.
Wu Qingwan was wearing a slim-fitting long skirt, maintaining the same posture, sitting next to Zuo Lingquan.
It was not the first time the two of them practiced together, but at this moment, they obviously could not enter into meditation and were both wandering thousands of miles away.
Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, thinking about the jade slip and Wu Qingwan's "meaning".
Wu Qingwan was also thinking about her "meaning" because she couldn't figure it out.
If she was just a simple dual cultivation technique, she had no suitable partner to keep. How could she commit herself to a emotionless man because of her greed for the little bit of cultivation speed?
But Zuo Lingquan also applies this volume of martial arts, and based on his talent, he is very necessary.
Wu Qingwan is over forty years old and has no hope for being in the Immortal Class; but Zuo Lingquan is only seventeen and has a bright future. She has a suitable martial art in her hand, which can help Zuo Lingquan, and she can only help this. If it is an ordinary martial art, she gave it without hesitation, but why is this a dual cultivation technique...
Wu Qingwan was very confused inside.
She admitted that she appreciated Zuo Lingquan's character and character. The scene where Zuo Lingquan took the risk of saving Wang Rui in Changqing Mountain, and even talked back to her deeply impressed her. She liked this kind of "sword hero" who is affectionate and righteous, and dared to sacrifice herself for the people around her; she also admired Zuo Lingquan's perseverance, talent, and appearance in her heart...
It can be said that in her eyes, Zuo Lingquan was almost perfect. Except for occasionally glance at her eyes, she could not find any flaws at all. This is understandable, after all, she is still young.
If Zuo Lingquan was just a rich young man from another place and came to Qihuanggu to learn from his skills, Wu Qingwan could be sure that she would do the ridiculous thing that "we should not flow to outsiders' fields."
After all, they are "men are unmarried and women are unmarried". Why don't they go further? She is not a true master, but she is just older. She practices without caring about age, and there is no clear rules and regulations that cannot find a Taoist partner.
But unfortunately, Wu Qingwan was not married, but Zuo Lingquan was not unmarried.
After all, Zuo Lingquan is Jiang Yi's son-in-law, and she is Jiang Yi's aunt. Even if she has no blood relationship, this relationship is still there.
Wu Qingwan didn't dare to think deeply about her inner thoughts. She should avoid such things rationally, and should restrain herself and not be influenced by elusive little thoughts and take the wrong path.
But Reason also told her that this technique is most suitable for her and Zuo Lingquan, just like the destiny of heaven.
Especially today, after Cheng Jiujiang was aggressive, the sect fell into a dilemma of insecurity.
She knew that Zuo Lingquan would help her unyieldingly, and this scroll of martial arts just allowed the two to improve their cultivation to cope with the upcoming storm.
If she hid it, and when the sect was in a state of despair or delayed their practice, wouldn’t she regret it for life?
Wu Qingwan didn't know how to choose, and felt that it was a mistake to take which way she would take. So she simply lay down and stopped choosing, and gave Zuo Lingquan the skills and let him make his own decision.
Zuo Lingquan wanted to cultivate her, no matter what she thought, whether she was sentient or ruthless, she could find a legitimate excuse to convince herself and accept it.
Whether it is forced or willing to accept it, there is no need to consider it. At least the result is acceptable to both parties, and in the future, it will have immeasurable benefits to Zuo Lingquan, her, and even Jiang Yi.
But she didn't expect that Zuo Lingquan looked extremely smart and turned out to be a lump of wood...
When Wu Qingwan sat cross-legged, she took a breath slightly and took a breath again, wondering how to describe her current situation.
She took out her martial arts, but Zuo Lingquan pretended to be confused and kept testing her meaning.
If she dares to understand what she means, would she still give the initiative to Zuo Lingquan?
She just didn't dare to think deeply about her motives, so she let Zuo Lingquan make a decision.
Now Zuo Lingquan pretends to be confused with his understanding and will not even look for an excuse of "for the sake of the great way." As an elder and teacher, she can't take the initiative to say these words.
Since Zuo Lingquan is not taking the initiative, Wu Qingwan doesn't want to destroy the gods anymore. Anyway, Zuo Lingquan doesn't want this big opportunity, which means that his mind is very upright and not a bad thing; she doesn't have to take risks to do stupid things anymore. Without this martial arts, the crisis of the sect will not be solved.
Just like that, do whatever you like...
Wu Qingwan was thinking randomly, but she didn't know how long it lasted. Outside the cave, a 'bang' thunder suddenly sounded.
The moon outside was bright and the stars were sparse, with only a little thin clouds. Suddenly, the thunder was obviously a bit strange.
Wu Qingwan also noticed it, opened her eyes, looked outside, and said in confusion:
"It's sunny, why is it thundering?"
Zuo Lingquan had not yet entered the state of meditation. At this time, he had already stood up and walked outside the stone cave. Looking up, he saw the bright moon above Qihuang Valley, and a large cloud appeared in the distance, with thunder flashing, as if it was raining rain.
"It seems to be raining heavily in the capital."
Yin and Yang rain is not a rare phenomenon, but it is indeed rare to be so sudden without any warning.
After looking at it for a few seconds, Wu Qingwan shook her head and said, "Ordinary people can't figure out God's temper."
Zuo Lingquan felt that the rain was coming too suddenly. Anyway, his mind was a little confused today and he couldn't enter into meditation, so he simply spoke:
"Senior Wu, I haven't returned to the capital for some time. I just happened to go back to check it out and come back tomorrow."
Wu Qingwan had no objection to this, and thought for a while and said:
"Remember to go and see Jiang Yi. By the way, sell her something. Didn't you buy a Huajian carp last time? I think Jiang Yi is wearing it well. If you buy one for her, she will like it."
"Well……"
Zuo Lingquan's mind was already a little confused, but it was even more messy at this time. After nodding, he went down the stairs alone.
Wu Qingwan sat cross-legged again, but her heart was so quiet that she could not calm down. After a long period of silence, she rubbed her eyebrows weakly...
--------
Thunder rolled over Donghua City, and raindrops as big as beans poured down. From a distance, it seemed like someone had pierced the sky river and poured down the flood.
Zuo Lingquan rode a big dark horse and ran for more than 30 miles. In less than two quarters of an hour, he arrived at the outskirts of the capital. As soon as he rushed into the rain, he was so wet that he couldn't open his eyes.
Liao Wurenyan was on the official road, and even the city gate guards hid in the city gate hole, watching the inexplicable rain.
Entering the capital from the city gate is just outside Linhefang.
Zuo Lingquan thought that it was raining so heavily that there should be no one on the street. He looked up and found that under the eaves on the street, men, women, and young people were standing densely under the eaves, with some money and property in his arms. Some people were still kneeling on the ground, shouting something: "God is open to his eyes."
Zuo Lingquan was a little confused. After walking for a few steps in the heavy rain, he found that the roofs of the houses behind the walls were burning, and some houses were still emitting blue smoke under the rain curtain.
There are not one or two buildings with burning marks. When you sweep it at a glance, it seems that the entire Linhefang and even the surrounding area have been burned by fire. Fortunately, the burning was not very serious, and it should have been a sudden heavy rain that put out the fire.
Zuo Lingquan was slightly shocked, and quickly turned his horse's head and headed towards the Tang family's wine shop.
There were also many people gathered on the riverside street, and officials braved the rain to put out some remaining fires.
Zuo Lingquan came to the Tang family's wine shop and saw that the door of the wine shop was closed and there were signs of burning on the windows. The original wine banner had turned into charred cloth strips.
"Sister Tang?"
Zuo Lingquan flew up before he got off his horse, jumped directly to the roof of the tavern, and looked at the backyard from the roof. The backyard was also in a mess. The kitchen and the bedroom in the west wing were the most damaged, and the windows were burned out.
Zuo Lingquan's face turned pale, he jumped from the roof, and was about to run into the bedroom to check, but suddenly he heard a "Wow" cry coming from under the big osmanthus tree in the corner of the yard.
The crying was extremely sad, with a bit of hoarseness and trembling.
It was as if I had been suppressed for too long and didn't dare to speak out. I suddenly saw the life-saving straw and my heart strings relaxed in an instant.
Although the crying was sad and hoarse, Zuo Lingquan still heard that it was Tang Jingyan's voice.
He quickly looked at Tang Jingyan, who was soaked all over, with pear blossoms on his face covered in rain, and he couldn't cry. He lifted the thin quilt wrapped around his body, got up and ran over, and grabbed his sleeves directly. There was no blood on his face, and he was trembling, unable to stand steadily, so he sat directly on the ground.
“Woo woo…”
Zuo Lingquan hurriedly held Tang Jingyun's shoulder with his hands, but the touch on his hands was wet and slippery. Looking at it with the lightning, he found that Tang Jingyun was only wearing a white shirt and pajama pants.
The white coat was originally thin and was watered by heavy rain for a long time. It was almost transparently attached to the skin. You could clearly see the goose yellow bellyband under the coat.
The white pajama pants are not much better, they are tightly glued to the body and are almost transparent, showing the outline of the camel toe.
Zuo Lingquan had no intention of thinking anything else. After glanced at him, he hurriedly took off his outer robe and wrapped it on Tang Jingyun's body, comforting her softly:
"Sister Tang, don't be afraid, it's okay..."
"Woooo... Xiao Zuo..."
Tang Jingwen was meditating just now. When she was awakened by the thunder, she noticed the fire. The boudoir was already a sea of fire. She was shocked at that time. It was instinct to be able to rush out of the fire under the bedding.
At this time, he held Zuo Lingquan's sleeve tightly, sobbing constantly and couldn't even say clearly, obviously he hadn't come back to his senses.
Zuo Lingquan knew that Tang Jingyun had experienced a fire when she was born, which almost burned the entire Linhefang and killed many people. Her mother was also frightened in the fire and died indirectly.
Even after more than twenty years, the people of Linhefang were still scared of the fire. It was not surprising that Tang Jingyan was scared to this look.
At this time, Zuo Lingquan could only support Tang Jingyan, let her hide under the eaves of the house that had not been burned, wrapped her tightly in her robe, and comforted her softly:
"It's okay, it's raining heavily, the fire has been extinguished..."
"Jiji--"
While Zuo Lingquan was talking, before he could wrap his robe tightly, he suddenly heard the sound of birds crying from under Tang Jingyan's clothes.
He looked down and found that Tang Jingyan's bellyband was moving. Then a black coal ball emerged from the collar of her little shirt. The white fluff on her head and chest were almost gone, and she looked like she had lost all the weight...
