Chapter 62(1/2)
Family Wealth (First update)
The morning light comes on.
There was silence in the water curtain cave behind the waterfall.
Zuo Lingquan sat cross-legged on the stone bed, placed his hands flat on his knees, closed his eyes and concentrated, and performed the Qi Refining Technique.
Wu Qingwan kept the same posture and sat next to him.
This is the first time Zuo Lingquan has spent the night in the same bed with a woman.
In the secular world, this kind of thing can be said to be offensive to moral customs. Fortunately, practicing Buddhism does not pay attention to these things.
Of course, even if Zuo Lingquan was particular about it, there was nothing he could do - because this was Wu Qingwan's territory, and his opinion would not be consulted beforehand.
Last night, Zuo Lingquan was sitting cross-legged to practice Qi. Wu Qingwan, who had just finished taking a bath, suddenly walked in wearing a long slim dress. While wiping her hair with a towel, she took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, sitting on her side.
, tilted her head and looked at him, as if preparing for the bell.
Zuo Lingquan was confused at that time.
Fortunately, Zuo Lingquan had extraordinary concentration and pretended not to notice, closing his eyes for a moment. Although Wu Qingwan stared at him for a long time, she didn't do anything to him in the end. She just sat cross-legged.
Later, practicing with him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I thought it was a bit weird, I didn't think much about it.
The two sat quietly all night, and as the bell rang outside, they opened their eyes at the same time.
Zuo Lingquan took a long breath of turbid air and felt it for a while. After three or four days of dedicated practice, about one-tenth of the true energy in his body was restored.
Although it's still very little, it's much more powerful than before when I had no energy.
Wu Qingwan held the stone bed with her hands, moved to the edge of the stone bed, and lifted the embroidered shoes on the ground with her bare, white feet.
Zuo Lingquan saw it from the corner of his eye and quickly averted his unintentional gaze and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Wu Qingwan was also looking at Zuo Lingquan out of the corner of her eye, her expression naturally showed no difference, she leaned over and hooked up her shoes with her jade fingers, and asked softly:
"Ling Quan, how is your health?"
"Much better, um... The people who will go to Jingtai today have been selected, right?"
"Yeah. Xu Zhining and Yao Heyu are probably safe. It just depends on whether She Yulong can grab the last spot."
Wu Qingwan put on her embroidered shoes, stood up and stretched, then looked back at Zuo Lingquan:
"Today's scene is quite big. Although the people competing are not as good as you, they are still the best in Great Dan. Watching them fight each other can also benefit you. You should also go and have a look."
The movement of stretching and looking back is lazily and gracefully, and the curve under the waist is also stretched to the extreme.
Zuo Lingquan didn't want to look around, so he just leaned over and put on his shoes and responded with a smile:
"OK."
Soon, the two of them walked out of the stone room together.
When Wu Qingwan passed by the wooden house, she remembered something. She took out a wooden box from the house and handed it to Zuo Lingquan:
"I have already studied some of the magic weapons I brought back last time. The bronze mirror is a good thing, and there are two preset spells in it - 'Golden Light Technique' and 'Xuan Lei Technique'; both are thunder magic, five elements
It is most suitable to be used by monks who are familiar with the wood. You can also use the water-born wood, but the cast will be much slower."
The last time Zuo Lingquan harvested so many items, he was interested in the 'flash bombs' and the white jade baht. Hearing this, he naturally felt a little regretful:
"If the Golden Light Technique is cast too slowly, it will lose its effect of winning by surprise. Senior Wu, you are a pro-wood of the Five Elements, so it is better for you to use it."
Wu Qingwan's lips curled up slightly, but she didn't refuse:
"That's okay, thank you."
"I am a junior. I am indebted to Senior Wu for taking care of me, so I should show my respect."
Wu Qingwan knew that Zuo Lingquan was interested in bronze mirrors, so she thought about it and said:
"The Golden Light Technique is just a very basic technique. It has no lethality, and the structure of the magic circle is simple. I will study it in the next few days and see if I can copy a replacement for you."
Zuo Lingquan's eyes lit up slightly: "Then it's hard work, Senior Wu. It's best to make shoes, leggings and the like. When low-level monks fight each other, the first thing they pay attention to is their footsteps. If you put this thing on your feet, you will definitely be hard to guard against...
"
Wu Qingwan raised her eyebrows, a little amused: "I thought you were an upright gentleman, but I didn't expect you to have so many bad intentions."
"Oh, only those who live in a life-and-death fight deserve to be reasonable. Who cares so much?"
"It's too troublesome to make weapons. Even the most basic objects are not that easy to copy. I can only try to see if it will work, but I can't guarantee it. I originally wanted to make a vibrating stick for you, but I haven't thought about it until now.
come out."
"Uh...Senior Wu, have you really studied it?"
"Seeing that you're interested, I'll naturally study it."
"hehe……"
…
While the two were chatting, they came to the bamboo forest below.
Wu Qingwan still had to go to the main hall of the sect, so she walked first.
Zuo Lingquan returned to his courtyard, changed into clean clothes, and then took out the talisman given by Jiang Yi and looked at it.
The worry-free talismans in the talisman folder have been used up, and are now replaced by the two high-grade talismans obtained last time. In addition, there are five inferior worry-free talismans; one of them is the 'Five Thunder Talisman' and other
All the miscellaneous talismans were given to Wang Rui to save his life.
Zuo Lingquan had no use for the gold pen and talisman drawing tools for drawing talismans for the time being. Like the ruler and robe, they were all handed over to Wu Qingwan for study.
As for the long sword, Zuo Lingquan could use it.
But a swordsman's sword is like a sibling having a wife. Even if it is not in use, the sword should be sealed in a box and kept properly. It is taboo to replace or discard it at will.
Before finding a more suitable sword, Zuo Lingquan wasn't going to pick one randomly, so he didn't want one. He gave it to Wang Rui, who also loved swords. This was Wang Rui's "life for life" repayment; besides that,
In addition, I also gave him a few white jade bahts, and I kept ten white jade bahts in my talisman holder.
After Zuo Lingquan checked his family assets, he put away the talisman holder, thought about it, and took out the small porcelain bottle.
The porcelain vase contained the small insects that he bought at the gate last time. Zuo Lingquan had not paid attention to them in recent days. He was a little worried that the insects would starve to death. Who would have thought that after opening it, the small beetles flew out with a buzzing sound.
It flew around Zuo Lingquan twice, then crawled back into the porcelain vase.
"Um?"
Zuo Lingquan originally wanted to release the beetle, but when he saw that the beetle seemed to be using the porcelain vase as its nest, he let it go and assumed it was a small pet.
He remembered that beetles like to eat leaves, so he plucked a few grass leaves from the bamboo forest outside the window and placed them next to the porcelain vase.
The little beetle quickly got out of the porcelain bottle, crawled to the leaf, took a bite, and then crawled back, looking a little disgusted. If it hadn't been too small, it would probably have taken a bite.
Zuo Lingquan spread his hands. He didn't know how to raise insects, so he simply chose to raise them free-range without covering them. He could find what he wanted to eat by himself, and just run away...
——
After the rain, the sky cleared, and the warm spring sun shone through the thin clouds on the arena in Baishi Square.
Under the eaves outside the main hall, the five uncles from Qihuang Valley, as well as the elders from Fuji Mountain and Qingchi Jianzhuang, were sitting. Their thoughts were drawn by the competition on the ring, and their expressions were different.
Wu Qingwan was still wearing the sect's standard black dress, sitting at the side, and her bun was neatly arranged.
The competition has not yet begun. Wu Qingwan is leaning on the Taishi chair and waiting. Her sitting posture looks upright, but her mind cannot be focused on the ring.
Wu Qingwan put her right hand in her sleeve, stroking the jade slip she had picked up, and thinking secretly about how to deal with this coveted hot potato, she suddenly heard the familiar voice again:
"Old Lu, why are there only eight lords among the nine sects in the south? One of them is dead?"
"Shhh, brother Yunting, please don't talk nonsense..."
Wu Qingwan frowned and looked around, only to see the young and old talking nonsense together under the shade of the trees by the square; and Wang Rui had also come up to him inexplicably and was listening to the bad old man's nonsense with great interest.
Zuo Lingquan had already told her about Wang Rui's exchange of lives. As the teacher of Qihuang Valley, Wu Qingwan naturally paid more attention to Wang Rui and wanted to tell Wang Rui not to deal with these unscrupulous people.
Mixed together, but the old man's next words made her give up the idea:
"...The nine sects did not appear at the same time. The three sects, Tiedong Mansion, Tiandi City, and Fulongshan, were the first to open their sects. Five sects, Jingting Terrace, Covering Moon Forest, Peach Blossom Pond, Dinghai Tower, and Yunshui Jiantan, came from behind...
...Originally, the eight sects were a foregone conclusion, and no one could do anything about it, but then a Xinglin sage appeared and opened the Medicine King Pagoda. No matter whether he was practicing or living in the secular world, no one with a normal mind would offend the doctor, so the eight immortal families
After some discussions, a piece of territory was given to the King of Pharmacy Tower..."
Wu Qingwan's eyes were slightly surprised. She knew which of the nine southern sects were, but she didn't know the specific situation of each sect, at least not as detailed as the old man.
This old man knows a lot...
Wu Qingwan blinked her eyes, gave up the idea of chasing people away, and continued to listen.
The old man was indeed very knowledgeable. From the Eight Lords of the Nine Alliances to the Ten Sword Emperors of Central Continent, he finally even talked about the approximate methods of 'sword cultivation'. Although this was all information he heard, it was undeniable that there was some merit.
place.
Wu Qingwan had heard of monks like 'Sword Cultivator', who were extremely lethal, and Zuo Lingquan was so powerful with a sword. Naturally, she also thought about making Zuo Lingquan a sword cultivator, but it was a pity that she didn't understand the method at all.
At this time, she heard the old man chatting, saying that "among the nine sects in the south, Yunshui Jiantan is the most proficient in sword cultivation" and that if you win the sword inquiry, you can take away a famous sword. Although Wu Qingwan was not sure
