123. Portrait
Zixun took another jade toad necklace carved from purple jade and hung it around her neck. Yu Ling couldn't help but chuckle when she saw that the jade toad was carved extremely cute, it was the cute appearance of eating candy people when she was a child. "Is this chain also the master's?"
"Of course, do you like it?" Zixun said as he took out a pair of purple jade earrings from the mahogany box: "Do you want to wear earrings?" ”
"Hmm." Yu Ling looked at the earrings in his hand happily, it was a pair of pocket bauhinia earrings, finely carved, and there was his breath on them, they must have come from him, since he made them, how could she refuse?
"If you want to wear earrings, you have to get your ears pierced, and it hurts a little." Zixun reminded that he cast a spell and gently pierced her little ears twice, and by the time she could react, he had already put the earrings on. He gently straightened her long hair and said with satisfaction, "Well, that's good. My Ling'er is really a little beauty. ”
"The master is also a handsome son." Yu Ling hurriedly added.
Zixun smiled lightly and took her hand and walked straight towards the garden behind the Bauhinia Palace.
There is only one kind of flower garden in Tianshu Xianmen, that is, bauhinia, which is everywhere in the mountains. But in the garden here, it is full of flowers and pleasant aromas. This back garden was specially built by Zixun for them to rest, and there are lotus ponds, rockery stone carvings, pavilions and water pavilions.
In the lotus pond, there are fish and aquatic plants that the jade spirit can't eat, since the jade spirit cultivation stagnated in the middle of the martial beast six years ago, Zixun confiscated her teaching jade plate and the Taigu Immortal Furnace, and spent all day "confined" in the Bauhinia Immortal Palace to practice internal strength, and was forbidden to leave the palace without his order.
Yu Ling complained about him at first. Later, I heard from Kunbu that it was because her cultivation had been stagnant for a long time and her reputation had been damaged, so she found a way to keep her by her side and concentrate on cultivation.
Who knew that after so many years of cultivation, she still looked mediocre in terms of qualifications, and she did not make any breakthroughs. Zixun saw that Yuling was sullen all day in the Immortal Palace, so he built a back garden to provide her with a place to rest and play. Usually, Zixun reads in the gazebo, while she chases small fish in the lotus pond. Happy!
At this time. A purple-clad kombu was standing beside the lotus pond, with a long case, pen and ink inkstones, and fine powders of various colors beside him. He was stunned when he saw Yu Ling, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Jade Spirit glanced at him shyly, then lowered her head. Let Zixun pull her to the lotus pond in the garden.
Zixun pulled her to the lotus pond. He smiled and said, "Don't move." I will give you a portrait as a souvenir, today is the first day of your transformation into an adult, leaving a portrait can be a lifelong thought. ”
"Oh?" Yuling finally understood why Zixun had dressed her up so beautifully. It was originally for today's portrait commemoration. That's right, it's really important to be an adult for the first time, and leaving a portrait can also be a permanent memorial.
As soon as Zixun sat down, Kunbu began to study the ink, and Yuling just stood there motionless, letting them go about their work. Looking up at the clear blue sky, she suddenly remembered the first time she transformed into a human, if Xuanyu hadn't been poisoned that day, maybe he would have curled her hair and painted a portrait of her, right?
She still remembered that as soon as she transformed into an adult, Xuanyu dressed her and tied her hair regardless of the serious injuries on her body. It's a pity that his hair hasn't been tied up yet, and he faints.
Ten years, she waited for him for ten years, and he didn't come back. Her original purpose in coming to Tianshu Immortal Gate was to steal the Bauhinia Fairy Grass, but now she has given up the idea of stealing the Bauhinia Fairy Grass.
First, because the Bauhinia Immortal Grass was under the Qiyun Hall of the Bauhinia Immortal Palace, guarded by the five Peak Guarding Immortal Venerables and a Holy Beast, she did not have the ability to steal it; Second, Xuanyu has a better life and has abandoned her ruthlessly. Zixun has raised her for ten years, and no matter how cold-blooded she is, she shouldn't be ungrateful and ungrateful for her kindness.
She looked back at Zixun's serious painting, and secretly made up her mind in her heart: he is the main one in this life, life and death depend on each other, and she will never give up. As for Xuanyu, if there is really a day to meet, she can only treat him as a passerby, and it is absolutely impossible to follow him to the death.
After a long time, Zixun finally put down the brush in his hand and laughed with satisfaction: "Haha, not bad. ”
Kunbu also looked at the portrait happily, and for the first time in ten years, Yuling saw Kunbu's smile. Seeing them laughing so happily, she couldn't help but run over.
On the portrait, she is standing in the middle of the lotus flower in a green glass gauze skirt, her head is lightly raised, the corners of her mouth are smiling, and she looks like a fairy.
Zixun and Kunbu were looking at the portrait intently, and Yuling said abruptly: "The master painted very well, but I always feel that something is missing?" ”
The two of them were stunned at the same time, looked up at her suspiciously, and she smiled and said, "I think the master is missing from the portrait, if only the master could stand in front of Ling'er." ”
Zixun snorted lightly, and he stood up unhappily: "This kind of trivial matter is up to you, you have studied calligraphy and painting for ten years, there should be no problem." With that, he flicked his long sleeves lightly, turned his hands behind his back and walked straight towards the Bauhinia Palace.
Yuling pouted, just paint, anyway, after studying for so many years, it's time to show her skills. She smiled and looked at Kun Bu and said, "Senior brother, can you please help me study ink?" ”
"Okay, but you have to get a new piece of rice paper, I'm afraid that you will be angry if you destroy this portrait." With that, Kunbu put the portrait away, leaving a blank piece of rice paper.
Suddenly, Yu Ling drew a portrait of Zixun in a silver white robe, looking fresh and refined, with a graceful demeanor. But it was quickly denied by Kunbu, the reason was that because the silver white robe was similar to the color of rice paper, and Zixun's fairy wind bones could not be seen.
Then, Yuling drew a portrait of Zixun in a purple robe, and he barely passed the test. But Kunbu asked Yuling to paint it several more times before she could paint it on her portrait.
So, I waited until it was dark to get the portrait done. After thanking the kelp, Yu Ling ran towards the Bauhinia Hall with the portrait in his arms.
In the main hall of the Bauhinia Palace, Zixun was bowing his head to review the secret letter, and Yu Ling ran to him with the portrait in his arms, and said happily: "Master, the portrait is finished, do you want to see it?" ”
Zixun looked up. His face was a little displeased, he worked hard to paint for her, and she still disliked her poor painting, so he naturally felt a little mustard in his heart. But when he picked up the portrait and looked at it, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the portrait, they are about two feet apart. Yu Ling raised his chin lightly and looked up at him affectionately, and he was wearing a purple robe, his purple hair was tied high with a white jade crown, and he lowered his head. Affection is as deep as Haiti and looks at her.
From the distance, it seems to be a bit raw. But it is a lifelike, affectionate picture of you and me, which makes him want to stop. Satisfied, he rolled up the portrait and said, "Follow me." With that, he hurried towards the dormitory.
Seeing his happy appearance, Yu Ling was also extremely happy. Hurried after him. I saw him walk to the portrait of the Bauhinia Immortal Venerable. He said softly: "Ling'er, I'll hang the scroll here, okay?" ”
"But that's a portrait of Shigong. If his old man sees it, what if he gets angry? Yu Ling frowned.
"It's okay, he goes for a long time every time he travels, and it's impossible for him to come back so early." Zixun said that, he opened the picture scroll and pushed it gently, and the picture scroll successfully covered the portrait of Bauhinia Immortal Venerable, leaving only the beautiful picture scroll of deep love between master and servant.
Zixun looked up for a while, then turned around and hugged Yuling into his arms and kissed him for a while. His eyes were a little misty, his slender fingers gently caressed her face, his two thumbs caressed left and right on her eyebrows, and he said softly: "Ling'er, do you want to confess the Lord with me by dripping blood?" ”
Yu Ling was startled and broke free of his hand, hurriedly covered his eyebrows with his hand, and said in a panic: "This is the only memorial left to me by the previous master, if it is gone, it will be difficult for Ling'er to repay him for his nurturing kindness." ”
Zixun looked at her with a smile and comforted, "Okay, okay." I know you're going to say that, and I'm not forcing you. As long as you are obedient in the future, I will not embarrass you. Otherwise, I will take out the seal of confession and put my seal in it. ”
"Ling'er must listen to the master's words, and beg the master not to take out the mark of recognizing the master." Yu Ling looked at him with palpitations, forcibly recognizing the main seal is a profound technique to unseal it, even if it is taken out, the master must die. If the master is not dead, not only can he not take it out, but he will also eat the person who has unsealed, and if he believes that the master beast cultivator will be seriously injured, or if he is serious, he will be annihilated.
Xuanyu had raised her for sixteen years, and although he ruthlessly abandoned her, she didn't want to erase the mark of confession so ruthlessly. Xuan Yu didn't leave her much, and this mark was the only important clue that could sense whether he was okay or not. How could she give up lightly? For her, as long as he is well in this life, one qiē is enough.
Zixun stretched out his hand and took off a bauhinia-like seal from his eyebrows and said, "I don't take your mark of recognizing, but we must also have our mark of recognizing the lord externally." I'll put a fake mark on your eyebrows first, as long as you don't say it, outsiders won't know. ”
"Okay." Yuling nodded, allowing Zixun to stick the bauhinia petals to the center of his eyebrows. Soon, the bauhinia petals sank into the center of her eyebrows, and she sensed that the bauhinia petals were gently attached to the seal of the Lord of Recognition, and there was a shallow barrier between the two marks, which was not restrained by each other, and there was nothing to do with it, and her hanging heart was also relaxed.
After finishing, Yu Ling ran to the bronze mirror and looked in the mirror, and a shallow bauhinia petal appeared in the center of her eyebrows. Zixun looked at her back and said: "In the future, you will be my worthy war pet, no matter where you go, you will represent me, don't embarrass me." ”
"War pets?" Yu Ling looked at him in shock, she was affirmed by him for the first time, it turned out that she could also go from a substitute war pet to a well-deserved war pet. She danced happily and said, "Ah, great, I've finally become a war pet, I will definitely win glory for my master, hahaha!" ”
Yuling was happy for a long time, and instantly thought that Jin Liu'er was Zixun's war pet. Hurriedly said: "Master, but Senior Brother Jin is your war pet, if he knows that I have become your war pet, will he be angry?" ”
"No, we don't have a blood to confess the Lord, he sensed it. Because once you and I confess the Lord with blood, then the three of us will have telepathy with each other. He will understand why I put that false mark on your brow. Besides, hasn't he accepted you after all these years? ”
Yu Ling remembered that over the years, she lived in the Bauhinia Immortal Palace with Jin Liu'er and Zixun. At first, Jin Liu'er rejected her, but gradually their relationship improved.
In addition, Jin Liu'er's beast body is also a toad, they are a golden toad and a jade toad, and their common beast body makes their relationship one step closer.
Over the years, the Condensation Beast Pill Jin Liu'er has also helped a lot, and he often finds time to teach Jade Spirit to cultivate the exercises, which makes her smoothly condense the Beast Pill to the size of a fist.
Zixun often took Jin Liu'er and Kunbu to study the reason for the stagnation of Jade Spirit's cultivation. Finally, the problem was finally figured out, which was the two black lines around her eye sockets. The final result was that Jin Liu'er took Xiao Wu to find a dragon bone, helped Yuling break through the imprisonment and transform into a human, and condensed into a beast pill in one fell swoop.
Yu Ling thought for a moment and said, "Master, where has Senior Brother Jin gone?" I haven't had time to thank him yet. ”
"Liu'er has something to do, and he will be back in a few days." Zixun took out a palm-sized jade slip and handed it to her, "This is the Bauhinia Treasure Book I cultivated, with a total of seven layers. In this world, there are only the three of us who cultivate, if you don't understand, you can ask us, when you cultivate to the third layer, I believe that you will almost reach the peak of the phantom beast. When the time comes, we will take you to a place and help you break through the Holy Beast. ”
"Well, thank you, master." Yu Ling took the Bauhinia Treasure and caressed it gently.
Zi Xun glanced at her and continued: "The phantom beast has a period of weakness after the thunder tribulation of the Beast Pill Dacheng. It will take at least a month to recover, which is why the Phantom Beast Pill is so easy to kill when it becomes a formidable beast. Therefore, this month, you will stay in the Immortal Palace and practice the martial arts on the Bauhinia Treasure Book. When the disciple assembly comes, I will take you out of the palace. ”
"Okay." Yu Ling nodded, Zi Xun wanted to speak and stopped, he gently took Yu Ling into his arms, kissed her forehead lightly and said: "There is a sect disciple ranking in this year's disciple conference, you should prepare well and strive to enter the top ten." ”
"Ling'er will not disappoint her master." Yu Ling said firmly.
Zixun gently caressed Yu Ling's back, reluctantly let go of her, and with a wave of his long sleeves, the door of the secret room opened: "Go in and concentrate on cultivation, I will call you when the time comes." ”
Seeing that the door of the secret room was open, Yu Ling thought that he would not see Zixun for a while, so he stood on tiptoe and kissed him deeply on his red lips before running to the secret room with a red face. Leaving Zixun with red ears and red ears, he looked at the back of Yuling, and his heart was full of sweetness.
He turned and walked towards the main hall, where the kombu was waiting.
When Kunbu saw Zixun appear, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Kunbu sees the master, congratulations to the head for getting a beauty." ”
"Get up." Zixun looked at him with a smile, Zixun took out a jade bottle containing a medium-grade Zixing Pill and said, "I've worked hard for you all these years, this is a little bit of my heart, you take it first." Without waiting for Kunbu to speak, Zixun directly threw the jade bottle into his hand. (To be continued......)
