Too Reckless - Vol 14 Chapter 2

The sea turtle waved its four fins and made white wakes on the deep blue sea. The ethereal whale song came from the depths of the sea, making the two people on the turtle’s back feel that they were thousands of miles away from the world.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”

Xie Qiutao was sitting on the back of the turtle, holding the pipa in his hand. He wanted to play the tune to relieve his boredom, but when he heard the purest rhythmic music in the world, he felt that he could not start. fireworks.

Shangguan Yutang raised his eyes to look at Xinghe, and his eyes were slightly ecstatic.

At that time, she was not very old, and the little dragon was just a little snake that was more than ten feet long. Because she heard that there were immortals living in seclusion overseas, she went out to visit the immortals and ran here.

At that time, she was riding on the back of the little female dragon, and she looked at the galaxy like this, the rhythm of the whale song echoed in her ears, and she was not infected by the artistic conception of being alone in the world. She smoothed out the lingering obsession in her heart.

Unfortunately, when I came to Lonely Leaf Island, I found that the gods on the island did not have the magical power to bring back the dead, but a group of hermits who were far away from the world and explored the truth of heaven and earth alone.

However, this trip was not too disappointing. There was an old grandmother on the island. After learning what she was asking, she told her something, which meant something like:

The cycle of life and death is endless, it is difficult to bring the dead back to life, but it is very simple to make the living no longer experience suffering; instead of finding their relatives and letting them go back to the village to live a hard life, it is better to find a way to let them grow up in a peaceful and prosperous age in the next life, never again. Not going through the hardships of this life.

After listening to it, she was deeply inspired, and gradually changed her view of life and death. The goal has also changed from finding Hui people to guarding the land under her feet and guarding every ordinary child who may be the reincarnation of his parents.

This road is very long, and to this day, she has only guarded the area of ​​Dongzhou Nanmeng, but as long as she is alive, she will achieve her ideal one day; even if she dies one day, there will be successors around her to help her. Complete this obsession.

Thinking of Zuo Lingquan, Shangguan Yutang actually felt a bit of self-blame in his heart.

After all, Shangguan Yutang’s character is the same as Zuo Lingquan’s. He wants to carry everything by himself, as long as the people around him live happily. If the burden on his shoulders is thought to be carried by the people around him, it can only show that he is incompetent.

People around you…

Shangguan Yutang returned to his senses, and was a little confused about the word ‘people around him’, and did not know where Zuo Lingquan was by his side.

Fellow Daoists who share weal and woe… Certainly not.

Son-in-law, apprentice…

Shangguan Yutang licked his red lips lightly, and he didn’t know what to see. Anyway, just as Xinhu had a distracting thought, a quiet cry came from his mind:

“Damn, what do you think?”

“The deity went back first, you yourself…”

“Hey, I shut up, can I sleep?”

“Humph…”

Shangguan Yutang snorted secretly, swept away the distractions, stood up, and looked at an island that appeared at the end of his field of vision.

Xie Qiutao was wandering thousands of miles, secretly suspicious of Zuo Lingquan and Senior Sister Qiu, whether something happened outside that the little girl dared not imagine, and when she saw the outline of the island in the distance, she came back to her senses:

“Are you there? Is there anyone on this island?”

The island is a large-scale island suspended overseas, but it looks very primitive from a distance. The periphery of the island is covered with green vegetation, and there are no lights at all. Only when you get closer, you can see that there is an artificially excavated under the stone cliffs along the coast. stone ladder.

Not all immortals on the land of Jiuzhou belong to both good and evil, and there are many neutral sects, adhering to the ancient immortals’ way of hiding the world, hiding in deep mountains, old forests or overseas wilderness, and they only ask about the world in their entire life, at most in When you need to inherit the incense, you will come out of the mountain for a short time.

The Lonely Leaf Island in front of him is one of them. There is no record of righteousness and evil, and only a mountaintop figure like Shangguan ancestor who has seen all over Jiuzhou will know the existence of such a small place.

Xie Qiutao followed the ancestors of Shangguan, and took the turtle to the bottom of the sea cliff. After waiting for a while, a woman in yellow appeared on the stone cliff. After looking at the two of them, she said softly:

“Guye Island is closed to thank you. If the two of you have no place to stay, you can stop at the sandy reef a hundred miles away…”

Shangguan Yutang raised his hand and saluted:

“In Xia Shangguan Yutang, 3,000 years ago, I was fortunate enough to be instructed by Grandma Osmanthus. Now I’m passing through here, and I came here to meet. I wonder if Grandma Osmanthus still built it?”

“Three thousand… Shangguan…”

The woman on the stone cliff was obviously a little confused.

After looking at the two for a long time, seeing that the grandfather’s aura didn’t seem like a fake, he bowed and bowed:

“I’ll inform the teacher and the teacher, the two of you will wait a moment.”

The figure of the woman disappeared on the stone cliff, and after about half a cup of tea, she reappeared, followed by an old woman with white hair.

When Shangguan Yutang saw the old woman, there was a bit of disappointment in his eyes, knowing that the vicissitudes of the past three thousand years, the former grandmother of Osmanthus had already escaped into reincarnation. This old woman should be a disciple of unknown generations.

The old woman is very old, her face is full of folds like orange peel, it looks like she is not far from the deadline, her expression is very kind, she comes to the front and back with a cane, and nods:

“Senior is a girl from Yutang, why didn’t that greedy snake come?”

Shangguan Yutang was slightly surprised, and took Qiu Tao to the island with a friendly voice:

“Little snake stay at home, you heard of me?”

“There are few people on the island, and the senior is very famous. I heard it from my grandmother before and remembered it. I didn’t expect to see it in this life…”

“Just call me Yutang. You don’t have to call me senior. After I came here once before, I worked hard all over Jiuzhou and didn’t have the opportunity to visit. I really didn’t expect you to remember.”

“Ugh…”

The old woman walked on the stone road with a cane and shook her head:

“I can’t forget it. According to my grandmother, Grandma Osmanthus was still thinking about you before she died, and told her descendants that when you get married, we must go to the grave to burn some paper money and tell her to the old man.”

“Um?”

Qiu Tao, who was following behind, was stunned for a moment, and hurried to the front, listening intently, only to be squinted by the old ancestor, and then quickly made the appearance that nothing had happened, and looked at the surrounding scenery: “Hmm hum hum ~~”

Shangguan Yutang smiled: “Grandma Osmanthus also said this?”

“Yeah, Grandma Osmanthus said that no man is worthy of a good girl like you, and it’s hard to find a husband’s family, so I thought that one day when you were in trouble, I would help you to enlighten me; the result was good, Grandma Osmanthus waited until the end of her life, You don’t seem to be ready to marry without seeing the slightest bit of wind outside. But Grandma Osmanthus said that yin and yang match is the way of heaven, no matter how high you go, you can’t escape this barrier, so I want to know, what can you expect? when.”

Shangguan Yutang did not deny this, but responded with a smile:

“Grandma Osmanthus likes to worry about these things, but it disappoints her.”

“Hey, it’s because fate hasn’t arrived yet, so there’s no such thing as disappointment.”

While the old woman was talking, she brought the two of them to the center of the island. Apart from some buildings hidden in the forest, there was a small lake in the middle. There was a stone bridge on the lake and an osmanthus tree leading to the center of the lake. There are countless ribbons, and there is a small grave under the tree.

Xie Qiutao saw the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the center of the lake, and felt that it was not like any wood, so she asked curiously:

“What is this tree for?”

The old woman smiled and said, “Osmanthus grandmother planted it before her death, so that the spirit of heaven can protect her children and grandchildren. Our Lone Leaf Island is a hidden world sect, and we pay attention to one couple every day, one place, one couple, every time a woman is about to marry, or when a man chooses a mate, he will come here. To worship under the tree, please ask Grandma Osmanthus to see where her sweetheart is.”

Xie Qiutao was stunned: “Can this be seen in advance?”

The old woman shook her head and looked at Shangguan Yutang:

“People die like a lamp, and Grandma Osmanthus has already passed away. How can such magical powers be found; but Osmanthus tree is very accurate, and I can’t tell the reason. Miss Yutang should understand these mysterious things better than me.”

Shangguan Yutang glanced at the osmanthus tree and explained plainly:

“It’s not too mysterious. It’s just a glimpse of the heart through this tree. When you see the person in your heart, you will naturally feel accurate.”

The old woman shifted her gaze to Xie Qiutao:

“Would you like to try it, little girl? Maybe you will find your sweetheart here.”

Xie Qiutao’s expression froze, and she secretly said: I still need to watch? blah blah blah… What am I looking at?

Xie Qiutao looked at the osmanthus tree with a twist:

“I’m only so big, don’t worry…”

Shangguan Yutang saw through Qiu Tao’s mind long ago and said:

“Don’t dare to see it, it means that you already have the answer in your heart, and the result is the same whether you go or not.”

The old woman nodded and said, “It makes sense.”

Xie Qiutao really couldn’t refute this. He was a little confused and couldn’t answer, so he simply kicked the ball back:

“Senior Shangguan, do you want to try?”

“…”

Shangguan Yutang’s expression didn’t change. She wanted to refuse, but she just said “don’t dare to go, it means that she has the answer in her heart”.

Go ahead, in case you see something messy…

This is not the answer in my heart!

Although it is only an inconspicuous little osmanthus tree, but the supernatural powers are really amazing, and a morale makes the Valkyrie with a rock-solid mind, and the heart lake has some waves.

Shangguan Yutang noticed the instability of Xinhu Lake, and in order to stabilize his state of mind, he stepped directly on the stone bridge, came to the center of the lake where the osmanthus was bursting, and looked at the big tree in front of him.

The night wind is faint, the lake is silent, there is only an old tree and a beautiful woman.

Xie Qiutao stood by the lake and looked at the back of the ancestor. Not only wanted to know who the man was in the ancestor’s heart, but also afraid that he would be silenced by the old sister after knowing it, and he was a little frightened.

But what is disappointing is that there is no vision in the heart of the lake.

The quiet Shangguan Yutang looked at the canopy for a moment, then bowed to the small grave next to it, and then walked back.

Xie Qiutao didn’t dare to ask, but she couldn’t help it, so she asked in a low voice:

“Senior, who did you see?”

“I didn’t see anything.”

“Really? Xianjun doesn’t lie…”

The old woman raised her hand slightly and interrupted Qiu Tao’s words:

“This matter is only known in the heart, no one will tell outsiders, no need to ask.”

Shangguan Yutang smiled at this and did not explain anything.

Xie Qiutao was full of curiosity, but he really couldn’t press Shangguan ancestors, so he could only give up angrily.

And Jing Xuan, who had not slept at all, could not hold back at this time, and asked in his heart:

“Mother-in-law, did you see Zuo Lingquan just now?! I saw it all…”

Shangguan Yutang’s heart was as calm as a mirror, and he responded in a hurry:

“This deity’s soul is too tyrannical and will not be affected by such a small thing. Just now, your body was confused by cinnamon, and your heart was unstable when you saw Zuo Lingquan; this deity saw what you were thinking, and it has nothing to do with this deity.”

“Don’t try to lie to me, your heart skipped a beat just now, you must have an idea.”

“You’re not talking nonsense, this deity looks at his sweetheart, and suddenly sees his son-in-law, can he not be startled? This kind of thing is only useful if the main body comes over. Using your body to interfere with you will only cause misunderstandings and not count.”

“Yes?”

“Why, do you really want Zuo Lingquan in the deity’s heart? If the deity is moved, you and those little girls will have to come over and rub the shoulders and legs of the deity if you want to kiss in the future. Do you think this is a good thing?”

“Bah—you think beautifully… I just ask casually, mother-in-law, I warn you, if you are caught by me for being disrespectful, I’ll go to Tiecu Mansion to beat gongs and drums, saying that you don’t know how to be ashamed…”

Ashes? !

The ancestor of Shangguan was too lazy to take care of these messy words. After looking back at the old osmanthus tree in the middle of the lake, he and the old woman walked to the depths of the island and continued to revisit the old place…

—–

a long distance away.

Unconsciously, a scorching sun hung on the eastern sea level, and the boat that should not have appeared in the endless sea has sailed along the blue waves for an unknown distance.

Zuo Lingquan was sitting at the stern of the boat, and in front of him was a small table for drinking tea. On the small table were three plates condensed with ice, which were neatly filled with unknown salmon fillets.

The dumplings squatted in the corner of the small table, staring at the sashimi with dark eyes. It was a pity, but she was probably thinking: If only Tao Tao was there, she had oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and mustard. …

Miss Qiu was sitting in front of the small case. Seeing Zuo Lingquan’s superb knife skills, she wanted to say “Can you still cook?”, but Jianxiu sliced ​​well, and if he was good at cooking, then his cooking skills would also be good. It’s too worthless, thinking about it, I can only change my mouth and say:

“There is a Bafang Zhai in Thunder Cliff. The Dong family gave him the honorary title ‘God of Cooking’. The most famous dish is ‘Roasted Whole Kun’…”

“grumble?!”

The dumpling was startled, and felt that the fish fillets in front of him were instantly unfavorable.

Zuo Lingquan heard Qiu Tao talk about Bafangzhai, but he set off the Treasure Pool that day and didn’t have a chance to go, so he laughed and said:

“Roasted whole kun? Can you finish it?”

“I haven’t eaten it either, but my father has. According to my father, the scene is very big. Tens of thousands of monks are surrounded by the small square in Qianyuan Street, and they can’t squeeze in front without any identity. I was invited to cut the fish with a knife, and with one sword, the flesh and bones were separated, and the complete skeleton could be taken out…”

“Ha ha…”

Zuo Lingquan listened to this narration, and really yearned for the lively scene that was incompatible with the practice. After he cut the fish, he handed it to Miss Qiu, and then to the dumpling, and asked:

“We’ve all gone seven or eight hundred miles, how far are they still?”

Danzi pointed in a certain direction with the tip of his wing, and started to gobble, with a ‘fast, fast’ attitude.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan didn’t say much, and continued to chat about the topic of roasting Quan Kun.

But after chatting for a long time, the two faintly realized that something was wrong.

woo-woo-

In the distance on the sea, something seems to be moving, and it is very large, not an ordinary whale or turtle.

Miss Qiu was holding the ice crystal plate and was tasting the sashimi in small bites. When she noticed the difference, her eyes became cautious, she put the plate down, and held the green long sword beside her:

“Be careful, there’s something ahead, not small.”

Zuo Lingquan had already stood up, lowered his breath and cautiously searched the sea, and asked:

“Judging from the movement, the body size is not less than a hundred feet, so it can’t be Kun?”

“jiji…”

While eating the fish, the dumpling shook his head, indicating that he should not panic.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan reckoned that even Kunpeng was a very dishonest kind, and his fear was slightly reduced.

The two are currently in the sea, and it is risky to easily consume the infuriating energy reserves. Zuo Lingquan is ready to avoid the behemoth in front of him with Miss Qiu.

But after a moment of careful perception, Miss Qiu frowned slightly:

“No, this thing is a bit familiar, a bit like… like…”

…

——

dozens of miles away.

On the windy and sunny sea, a dragon python phantom with a length of several hundred meters was swimming unhurriedly on the sea, and there was a small hill with white hair behind it, which floated on the sea with the phantom.

The Snow Wolf King Langhao, although he was seriously injured, was awake at the moment, floating on the water, looking at the clouds in the sky, and asked:

“Xuan Ye, you are also a demon clan, and the cultivation of demon clan can be said to be ‘there is no way behind and no door in front of you’. If you want to go further, you can only fight with your life. You still have the fighting strength, and I think you should stay in Bosuzhou. If you counterattack with them, if you just retreat like this, you won’t have the slightest victory.”

The snake ancestor Xuan Ye recovered his body, stuck out half of his head on the sea, and responded calmly:

“If you earn military exploits, you have to have your life to spend. The situation in Bosuozhou is not right. You and I stay here, and you are also the pawns of the human race to test the depth of the opponent. It is better to take the opportunity to go back instead of giving up your life when the time comes. , the big deal is just a bit of infamy, and the demon clan doesn’t care about reputation.”

Lang Hai thought for a while: “I am the king of Snow Wolf Mountain. If I go to other places, I am nothing. To be honest, I don’t want to leave. But if I don’t leave, you have no excuse to leave.”

“The wolf travels thousands of miles to eat meat, and the dog travels thousands of miles to eat feces. With your Taoism, you can’t be king anywhere? And it will definitely bring back Bosuozhou. When you recover, you can take back the territory.”

“Hey… The way of practice is about ‘all things follow the heart’. I violated my heart and accompany you to leave this time. It feels an ominous omen.”

“Don’t worry, UU reading www.uukanshu.com I often go back and forth, and I am familiar with the local snakes in this sea area. They will sell the face of the demon king, no…no…”

A word.

Xuan Ye raised the snake’s head in the sea, and his aura showed a three-point fierceness. He looked back to the east, and then looked at the two auras that were approaching quickly in front of him, and the scarlet snake’s pupils became vertical.

Wolf’s half-squinted wolf pupils also opened a little at this time, but immediately, they changed back to their half-squinted appearance, and sighed:

“Time and fate. Run, I still have the strength to block you.”

At the beginning of the new volume, I had to write a detailed outline to sort out the follow-up plot, so it was a bit watery or2.
