Volume 1 The Empire of Qingshui Chapter 72 Farewell to the old year in the sound of firecrackers
The New Year is approaching, the day roar treasure ship up and down the lights, in addition to the old and welcome the new, the treasure ship seven floors, the dining hall staff are busy, perhaps for the passengers on the ship, the day roar treasure ship is just a means of transportation, but for these staff on the ship, it is like home, all year round are rarely off the ship. Therefore, I am also very careful when decorating the Sky Roar Treasure Ship.
In the small restaurant where a few people dine in the middle of the night, the area is not large, and there are not many people, after all, everyone who understands knows that the big banquet in the evening is the key, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas that are not usually made will be brought to the table, so there is no one to eat this Chinese food.
Lan Xiuxiu put the two dishes on the table and sat down, and the waiter behind him also put down the dishes in his hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I made a few people wait for a long time." "After all, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the staff has a lot to do.
Nan Yu'er smiled and said, "It's okay"
There is no need to say much about the meal for a few people.
After coming out of the restaurant, several people went on the deck, and along the way, they saw Ling Ye dressed in a big red costume, plus the already handsome and handsome, plus Lan Xiuxiu, Nan Yu'er and the two beauties in front, which made many people look sideways.
The wind was strong on the deck, and the big red lantern that had just been hung on the bow mainstick was shaking. A red cloth was also hung on the railing next to the boat, and a big red flower was wrapped around every other zhang, which looked extremely festive.
There were also many people on the deck, and they were all laughing and joking together. Ling Ye and the others found a place next to the boat where no one was around, Ling Ye held Nan Nan in the middle, and Nan Yuer and Lan Xiuxiu were on the left and right, holding the railing and lining up.
"Brother Ling Ye, when you go to Tiannan City, why don't you hand over Nan Nan to me first, after all, the academy will not allow students to bring their children into the hospital! Besides, most of the students in the academy are boys, so it's not good to let a little girl like Nan Nan follow. Lan Xiuxiu said.
After hearing this, Nan Nan looked at Lan Xiuxiu, and then smiled, and didn't seem to object. Ling Ye thought for a while, and then said: "If you are willing, then you can only trouble Sister Lan first, and when I finish reporting to the academy, I will come to Tiannan City and find a place to settle down." ”
"Little girl, I must be willing, right? Nan Yu'er stretched out her white jade hand, softened it on her face, and smiled.
Nan's little hand immediately stretched out to Nan Yu'er's face.
Ling Ye smiled, then turned to Lan Xiuxiu and said, "I don't know if Tiannan City has the power of the Luo family?"
Lan Xiuxiu looked at Ling Ye and paused, she knew that now the Luo family had issued a reward order to reward Ling Ye, and then said: "The Luoshui Pavilion in the south of Tiannan City, which is next to the Array Refinery Guild, was opened by the Luo family. So if you go to the Array Refinery Guild in the future, you should be careful. If there is any trouble, you can come to the Lanyin Pavilion on Wutong Avenue in the east of the city to find me, I usually cultivate there, if there is no major event, I rarely return to the sect. ”
"Well, I'll take notice. Ling Ye wrote down the relevant location information in his heart. The Array Refiner Guild, he definitely has to go. I heard that the treatment of the formation refiners in it is excellent, and there are many formations that can be read at will. Bi is now in a bottleneck state in the refining formation, go inside to see if he can get some useful information to help him solve the difficulties on the formation path.
The Sky Roar Treasure Ship shuttled quickly among the clouds, Nan Yuer and Nan Nan were playing on the deck, Nan Nan accidentally bumped into a few new students, and the new students were also very kind, after all, looking at this little girl was also extremely cute, how could she bear to be abused.
Lan Xiuxiu slightly pulled the sideburns that were blown down by the wind, and looked ahead with a pair of bright eyes. As if thinking about something, he smiled from time to time.
Ling Ye took the small hydrangea that Nan Yu'er played with, looked at the small hydrangea in his hand and said: "Isn't this the red hydrangea that will only be used in wedding ceremonies, why is Yu'er even happy to play with this." He also kneaded his hand a few times.
Lan Xiuxiu turned around and smiled: "I know it's for marriage, why did you take it just now." ”
"If I don't take it, won't it fall down? What a pity to fall down to such a beautiful place. Ling Ye said: "Besides, Yu'er is a princess of a country, and she is in charge of marriage matters." Then he turned the little hydrangea to his fingertips, and it looked extremely beautiful.
Lan Xiuxiu heard Ling Ye say that she was in charge of the marriage matter, and she couldn't help but smile on her face, Ling Ye was right, her marriage as a woman from a family was affected by the family. What's more, Nan Yu'er is a dignified princess of a country, maybe she will have to marry a foreign country, and it will be difficult to return to Qingshui Country for the rest of her life. When I think of this, I can't help but feel more and more depressed.
Ling Ye saw that Lan Xiuxiu suddenly stopped talking. immediately glanced at it, and found that Lan Xiuxiu's face was not very good, and thought that Lan Xiuxiu was the same as everyone's girlfriend, and it was difficult to be independent in marriage matters, and her words were obviously a little hurtful.
As soon as he turned his head, he smiled and said: "But fate is still in my own hands, just like this hydrangea, I let it turn faster, it will be faster, let it be slower." Isn't it?"
Lan Xiuxiu glanced at him with a smile and said, "If you want to control your own destiny, how can it be as simple as you say." For Ling Ye's words, she didn't know that she had worked hard to cultivate and run the family business all these years, wasn't it just to make herself more powerful in the clan!
"It's hard to do it, otherwise how can you show that you are different from ordinary people!" Ling Ye finished speaking, and the little hydrangea was thrown to Lan Xiuxiu.
Lan Xiuxiu raised her hand to take it, and then smiled: "What about you and your sister Su Ling?" Ling Ling was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have checked, your sister Su Ling is extremely talented, and she will definitely carry the banner of the Southern Regions Immortal Cultivation Realm in the future, and she will not be able to help herself when the time comes." Take care of your destiny. ”
After Ling Ye heard this, he was stunned, and the little hydrangea flew over and didn't reach out to catch it, but smashed directly on the head and bounced out of the boat. Ling Ye came back to his senses, and with a quick wave of his right hand, a purple light spirit silk instantly appeared and wrapped around the falling hydrangea, and the spirit silk returned to his hand as soon as the hydrangea was collected. smiled and said, "When the time comes, I'll just help her carry it." ”
Lan Xiuxiu saw that Ling Ye didn't catch the hydrangea and was about to make a move to control it with spiritual power, when she suddenly saw a purple spirit silk in Ling Ye's hand fly out instantly, and couldn't help but wonder, isn't Ling Ye's spirit silk water blue? Could it be that he still hid something from himself last night?
Ling Ye saw Lan Xiuxiu looking at her with a puzzled expression, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she smiled and said, "Is there a problem?" Could it be that the banner of the Southern Regions Immortal Cultivation Realm can only be carried by women. ”
Lan Xiuxiu smiled slightly after hearing this, and said, "It depends on your strength, whether you are worthy of carrying that banner." Then he asked: "Your spiritual silk, why did it turn purple again, and you still hide it from your sister after getting along for so long." Otherwise, when I saw it just now, I would have stupidly thought that you were Shui Lan Lingsi. ”
"Ahh
"I've broken through the nine veins these days, plus I'm using attribute things, saying that the spiritual veins have changed, and the spiritual silk has also turned purple, but fortunately, there are no side effects. As far as the color is different, the power of the thunder attribute is stronger, so what is there to hide from Sister Lan. Ling Ye explained.
"Breakthrough, what is the thing that merges?" Lan Xiuxiu looked at Ling Ye and asked.
Ling Ye said casually: "Do you remember the thunder tribulation when I was in Nanling? I picked up a weapon there, and there was a trace of thunder attribute power left in it, so I absorbed him. The effect is not bad. "He is integrated into the Purple Thunder Origin, he will definitely not say this, and it is estimated that no one will believe it when he says it. After all, the power of purple thunder will even be feared by the power of transforming spirits, not to mention refining, it is simply a fool's dream.
"I see. Lan Xiuxiu came to her senses, after all, she had some weapons on her body now, and she planned to take them back and recreate a good weapon. She hadn't thought about using that kind of weapon as an attribute thing, after all, there weren't many weapons on it, and the effect was not good.
"Okay, let's go down too, we'll see you in the evening!" Ling Ye said, and then walked over to Nan Yu'er, who didn't want to play with Nan Yu'er.
"Oh, let's go down. Ling Ye said, handing the little hydrangea to Nan Yu'er before and after leaving.
"This is for you. After making your clothes, I had some more fabric, so I made this. Nan Yu'er stretched out her hand, and then tied it around Ling Ye's waist, which looked really matching.
Ling Ye was speechless, and a big man with a red hydrangea around his waist meant a few things. After smiling helplessly, he hugged the girl and went down to the deck.
After returning to the room, after Ling Ye called Xiao Xuan out, he entered the Sumeru realm with Nannan.
Within the boundaries of Sumeru
It was noon at this time in the Sumeru realm, and Ling Ye asked Nan Nan to rest, and found that the little fox was not in the room, and his consciousness was swept away, and sure enough, he was nesting in the shadow of a stone by the big river, obviously just having a full stomach. After all, although the water of the big river has the effect of not filling the spiritual power in the body, it is obviously not enough to drink it, and the little fox has to come back with a spiritual liquid when he is hungry.
After putting a large bowl of spiritual liquid on the side of the door, Ling Ye entered the small room in his room.
Sitting cross-legged, he took out a few things that Nan Yu'er gave, and after playing with it in his hand, Yu Luan Ling put it aside, and the book "Alchemy Technique" was also put aside by Ling Ye, after all, he hadn't figured out anything about the formation path yet, how could he have the spirit to do alchemy.
After nearly half a year in the Sumeru Realm, Ling Ye also understood why the strength of most formation masters was not very strong, because they were all spent refining the formation, and there was still plenty of time to practice the martial arts fighting skills. He is now relying on the time of the Sumeru realm to be ten times that of the outside world, and he can have some time to cultivate, if he doesn't have this unique advantage, it is estimated that he himself will be like those formation masters, and he will not have time to practice martial arts.
Looking at the blue-white jade slip in his hand, the sound transmission technique is a little interesting. Ling Ye was curious when Lan Xiuxiu used it, and because Xiao Xuan urged him to hurry into the Sumeru realm, he didn't ask too much.
The jade slip was opened, and the five golden characters of "Tianjing Transmission Technique" on the far right were engraved on it.
Ling Ye quickly browsed the information on it, and after half an hour, Ling Ye put away the jade slip. According to the above. This technique is divided into three layers, the first layer, within 10,000 miles, only takes half an hour to transmit the message to the target, and the second layer within 500,000 miles, 10 hours can be transmitted to the target. The third layer, within a million miles, fifteen hours.
And the jade slip in Ling Ye's hand only recorded the cultivation method of the first layer, but Ling Ye didn't care, after all, this was someone's secret technique of sound transmission. It's also good to be able to learn the first layer.
The first layer of the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique is not difficult to learn, according to the jade slip written, using spiritual power to condense into a container that can record sound according to specific rules. Then the message to be left is said, and the container can record a limited amount of time, so the more concise and clear the message, the better.
After the information is recorded, the next thing is the key, how to correctly transmit the information to the recipient, the messenger needs to use the soul power to recall the recipient's face and related breath, the approximate location and the way of the journey, this position depends on the strength of the soul power, as large as thousands of miles, small only a hundred zhang. If you don't want to be within range, it will disappear as soon as the spiritual power is dispersed, and the sound transmission will fail. In addition, in order to prevent being intercepted, once intercepted by an unfamiliar breath, it will automatically disappear.
Ling Ye's hands were sealed, and his spiritual power was activated, and a purple bird quickly condensed in front of him. After that, he casually said "go home". Then he summoned the power of the soul, and recalled the face of the little fox in his mind, and how to go to the big river, and when these were all done, he waved in the middle of the night, and the little bird flashed away, passed through the wall, and flew out towards the little fox by the big river, and appeared above the little fox in just a breath, and the little fox did not move, still asleep on the side.
Ling Ye used his divine sense to probe this, and with a wave of his hand, the purple bird disappeared.
Ling Ye smiled slightly, and said to himself: "It's good, it's just not too loose, it's too troublesome, and you have to know how to get to the approximate location of the recipient, and you are not a living map, so you know the geographical location so well." No wonder Lan Xiuxiu has only used it once for so long. ”
Immediately put the jade slip aside, this sound transmission technique disappointed him a little, it was not what he imagined, he could directly wear the sound to his mother.
After putting away the jade slips, he meditated again, thinking in his heart: I will go to Tiannan City tomorrow, and the first thing I will do when the time is to go to the Treasure Pavilion of Tiannan City, sell the remaining demon beast corpses, and buy the five or six golden bell locking heavenly arrays that I have refined during this time, and then buy a bunch of high-quality jade materials.
Then I have to buy some furniture, and seeds of ordinary plants, it is a little difficult to buy seeds, I can't ask the Treasure Pavilion to help, otherwise I will be able to see what clues, after all, what does an immortal cultivator do when he buys so many seeds of ordinary plants.
After buying these things, you have to find a house, the house in the imperial capital is not easy to find, and it must be expensive to death, which can't help but make him a little difficult, let Lan Xiuxiu help, I don't feel very good at bothering people.
After that, he had to go to the Formation Master Guild, and a series of other things were waiting for him to get off the boat to deal with, but he didn't feel unintentional to meditate, patted his head and said, "I'm too difficult!"
Then he got up and walked out. Holding a copy of "Selected Poems of the Heavenly Empire", leaning against the door and flipping through it. I opened the book and stopped, as if I had forgotten something.
After closing his eyes and contemplating for a while, he shook his head and said to himself: "Could it be that you have been too addicted to refining formations recently, resulting in a bad spirit now." "After all, some time ago in the Sumeru realm, he often studied the gossip star array without sleep or food, which consumed his soul power very much, although he had replenished it, he still felt tired.
Without thinking much about it, Ling Ye continued to look at the book, and after a while, he listened to it again and wondered: "No, I must have forgotten something important." Then he closed the book and sat down cross-legged. He was honestly thinking about one thing in his heart, but he couldn't remember what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but have no intention of reading. The halo of the heavenly heart in his mind shook slightly, and the sound of the Great Dao echoed in Ling Ye's mind, keeping his mind calm.
After a while, Ling Ye massaged his temples and said to himself, "Could it be a sign that you are going to go mad?" ”
Ling Ye's current state is really similar to those crazy people who practice martial arts, who can't think about it, and can't ask for it, resulting in a disorder of spiritual power in their bodies, and the state of their meridians that oscillate and go crazy.
Young people, after all, their hearts are calm enough, although Ling Ye is not the kind of person who is easy to float and be dry, but there is still some arrogance in his heart, and there is a trace of competitiveness.
During this period of time, the cultivation is fast and mature, although there is a heavenly heart halo to stabilize Ling Ye's heart, but it still can't effectively suppress Ling Ye's little expansion in his heart, plus in the Sumeru realm for a long time, cultivating alone, specializing in formations, these things are extremely boring things, and if you are not careful, you will get angry, so monks from the outside world often take some Qingxin Pills, or Barrier Breaking Pills and other calming and condensing pills, or some major forces will have clear arts, calming spells and other exercises. And Ling Ye is fortunate to have a heavenly heart halo to help resolve some distracting thoughts.
Ling Ye opened his eyes, his eyes leaked light, and a breath of turbid air came out lightly, and then he was dripping with joy, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: It's so much easier, it seems that this time in the Sumeru realm is still too tiring, and I will go out to relax more in the future.
Ling Ye got up and tidied up his clothes before walking out of the room. Ling Ye didn't know that he had indeed forgotten one thing at that time.
Midnight out of the river valley, to the river where the elixir was planted, more than half a year has passed, only less than a thousand elixirs have survived, these elixirs adapt to the environment on the side of the river, and can also smoothly absorb the water of the river. So now it seems that the quality of these surviving elixirs is more than a cut above the original quality. It is estimated that there will be some elixirs that can be picked for a year and a half.
After casually walking around among these elixirs, he returned to the river valley in the middle of the night, and saw that the girl was still resting, so he took off the hydrangea the size of his fist tied around his waist, and played with it casually. After playing for a while, I went back to my room to rest.
The next day, when he woke up in the middle of the night, Xiao Xuan said that Lan Xiuxiu was here. Ling Ye immediately got up, entered Nannan's room, and carried Nannan out of the Sumeru Realm.
The real world
After putting the girl away in the middle of the night, after Lan Xiuxiu knocked on the door, he opened the door, and saw that Lan Xiuxiu had already changed into a sky blue curly suit. It looks extremely slim and elegant. Nan Yuer changed into a set of pale yellow half-arm skirts, which is very suitable for Nan Yuer's figure and face shape, and looks much more noble and gorgeous.
"Let's go, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is about to start, let's enter first, otherwise there will be trouble if there are more people." Nan Yu'er said with a smile.
Ling Ye took Nan Nan and the two of them up to the seventh floor, and outside the restaurant, some groups of people entered the dining hall in turn, and everyone sat on the corresponding seats according to the room number. Some have a table of six, and some have a table of three.
Ling Ye walked into the hall, Nan Yuer directly asked Ling Ye to sit with them, Ling Ye did not shirk, and followed Nan Yuer to the middle of the first row in front of the stage in the hall, Nan Yuer sat on the upper seat, Lan Xiuxiu was in the right seat, and Ling Ye sat down in the left seat.
Next to Ling Ye were Fang Guangwen, Jiang Ming, and Pan Liang, the three male disciples of the Southern Heaven Dao Sect, and a few people saw Ling Ye and Nan Yu'er, Lan Xiuxiu and the two of them were at the same table, and the clothes they wore were also of the highest quality cloud silk clothing, this kind of cloth was not sold on the market at all, it was all determined by some big families and big forces. Obviously, they thought that although Ling Ye's strength was not weak, it was impossible to buy this kind of clothes, and it must have been Nan Yu'er or Lan Xiuxiu who bought it for him.
A few people didn't have a good eye, and they thought that they still owed Ling Ye five thousand spirit stones, so they didn't look at Ling Ye more. But I secretly thought in my heart, when it comes to Tiannan City, you will feel better. At the table next to a few people were Lu Ze and Zhang Hui, and behind Lan Xiuxiu were her two junior sisters.
Ling Ye looked at the eight dishes and one soup on the table, according to many years of "experience in eating", he felt that the above dishes must be delicious, and he thought that he would be blessed here.
Sitting next to herself on the right, Nan Nan also looked at the delicious food on the table, but Ling Ye said to eat, she just watched.
In a short time, the entire hall was basically full of people who would come, a total of more than 500 people, the staff were on the right, and the students of these colleges were on the left. There were more people in the hall, and the sound became much more noisy. Most are discussing the delicious food on the table. After all, none of them have cultivated immortals, and they still can't miss three meals a day.
About half an hour later, the lights on the stage came, gorgeous and colorful, and a woman in a red dress stepped forward. The mouth reads: "In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu." Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. Heavenly Roar Treasure Ship 9996 Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet Now ......"
After the woman finished speaking, everyone in the audience applauded and celebrated, the applause was thunderous, and it stopped after a few breaths, and then everyone in the audience began to pick up the delicious food on the table.
In the middle of the night, when he saw a piece of meat, he reached out and grabbed it with chopsticks specially for holding vegetables, and then put it in a bowl and put down the chopsticks to replace them with a spoon for eating, and began to eat.
At this time, a person on the stage was singing and dancing lightly, the sound was like heaven, and the dancing posture was dusty. For this kind of singing and dancing performance in the mortal world, it is also a must.
Then Lan Xiuxiu smiled slightly after taking a few glances, and also ate some food on the table, the so-called local customs, this dinner was originally prepared for themselves by the crew of the Heavenly Roar Treasure Ship, and if he and these people from the academy were not in danger in Infernal Mountain, they would have stayed in Qingjiang City for seven days, and they would have gotten off the Heavenly Roar Treasure Ship a long time ago.
The vast majority of the performers of the Heavenly Roar Treasure Boat Dinner are ordinary people, there is no cultivation, and the program may be extremely wonderful in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not quite in line with the taste of some immortal cultivators. Fortunately, there are not many immortal cultivators here. The captain and a team of deputies of the Heavenly Roar Treasure Ship are the seven people of the Southern Heaven Dao Sect plus Lu Ze, Zhang Hui, and Ling Ye are immortal cultivators. There are only twenty-two people in total. As for the others, they are all people who have not yet come into contact with cultivation, and these ordinary people will not hesitate to applaud when they see the wonderful performance on stage.
