Chapter 63: The Fountain of Forgotten Worries
In the cloud-shrouded Kunlun Palace, a pair of white cranes with a long cry passed through the fairy clouds and flew up, and the hissing sound was a little blurred.
The Kunlun Palace is suspended in the air, the buildings are continuous, towering and overlapping, and half hidden in the white cloud fairy mist.
The north side of the palace is a rockery made of spiritual stones, the form is dense and broad, clusters of fairy grass and spiritual flowers are more luxuriant, and under the rockery of large spiritual stones, there is a clear spiritual spring that continues to flow in all seasons. Although there are many cave sects of the immortal clan, it is rare to have such a high-grade spiritual spring.
The magic of this spiritual spring can be used for cultivation and healing, the water is clear and refreshing, warm in winter and cool in summer, endless. Washing the face and soaking the body with the spiritual spring, can heal the pain, contain the Dan Qi, if it is used to drink tea, it will clear the mind and eyes, and strengthen the body.
Above the spring stands a craggy ashlar, with three large characters smeared with engraved cinnabar: Forget the Worries Spring.
On both sides of the spring are dense forests sandwiched by 10,000-year-old trees, and there are a few old fairy trees with branches and leaves stretching out, covering half of the sky, and looking up at the fragrant dense fairy trees.
Zining likes the name of this spring very much, "Forget Worries Spring", and it is really a pleasant thing to wash your body with this spring water, remove dirt, and relieve your worries.
The cool breeze in the late autumn floated up the fairy mist in the sky, mixed with the white air of the warm spiritual spring, and hid the branches and leaves of the towering ancient trees even more hazy.
Zining has been in Kunlun Wonderland for more than half a year, and although she has fully recovered from her injuries, her mood has been very different. She is no longer the ignorant little chef who used to play hip-hop, she is carrying the memory of Xi'er on her body, and Yue Hengtang also has the perception of the moon, and the two get along day and night, as if they have spent 100,000 years waiting and waiting, which seems a little heavy.
These days, she often wanders around inside and outside the Kunlun Palace, and gradually becomes familiar with the environment of the First Immortal Clan.
Kunlun Wonderland has a prominent position in the immortal clan, and has always been respected by the absolute emperor, so it is different from other immortal clans. Kunlun set up four gods of war, 1,000 armor guards, 500 palace e, and 30,000 disciples.
The Emperor has not yet married, and the mountains and mountains of Kunlun Palace are very empty. On weekdays, Zining accompanies him to read and write, and the two sometimes enter the Qingxu Valley realm, silently guarding a clean, stargazing and admiring the moon, and the days are plain and reassuring.
Mo Yikui was not in Kunlun, she left with Yun Zu, leaving only Huanling and Baiqiu, staying in Kunlun Palace with her.
Before she knew it, it was almost winter, and Zi Ning noticed something unusual.
In the entire Kunlun Wonderland, there seemed to be only two men, Yue Hengtang and Qi Song, she had never seen the four war gods and armor guards, and there was no disciple who practiced. Every dusk, thousands of falcons fly down the back of the hall, and Qi Song shines on these falcons from morning to night, and he is very busy.
Only two months later, Yue Hengtang was very thin.
He wore a homely white fine linen robe, sat silently at the couch table in the hall, frowned, burned incense and wrote. In the middle of the day, the written jade slips were packed into thin bamboo tubes and piled up in a high stack. The next morning, he sent out the piles of bamboo tubes, and in the evening, he brought them back.
Yue Hengtang's words became less and less, and sometimes he paced back and forth in the hall for half a day, not saying a word.
The palaces of Kunlun Wonderland are even busier, all of them are kneaded into thin ropes with golden hemp roots and woven into net pockets. Zi Ning asked them curiously what they were doing, and Gong E only said that the Emperor liked to raise eagle falcons, and these net pockets were for catching wild eagle falcons.
She knew that this was not the case, but Yue Hengtang didn't say it, and she didn't ask. The Kunlun Absolute Emperor was different from ordinary cultivators, the huge immortal clan was all under his command, and he must have some official duties to be busy with. What she shouldn't know, she doesn't say a word.
Sometimes Zi Ning sat at the desk, tilted his head to look at Yue Hengtang, and thought silently: "Maybe this is what Brother Tang is like, he doesn't like to talk, he is very serious, and he buries all his thoughts deep and doesn't let people know." Every time he frowned, she whispered: "Brother Tang, I like you to laugh the most, you laugh quickly." ”
Zi Ning was willing to be so quiet, and she turned the Qingxu Valley Realm into a fine speck of dust and fell on the desk in Yuehengtang.
Day after day passed, she concentrated on boiling soup in the Qingxu Valley Realm, racking her brains to cook some delicious and nourishing things. Every time I think of him, I use my sense to go out and look at him, and when I see him sitting at the table and writing, it is very heartwarming.
Sometimes he would greet a sparse smile, only to hear Yue Hengtang smile faintly: "You peek at me again, hurry up and boil your soup." Zi Ning's face turned red, very unconvinced, "How do you know that I peeked, you must have peeked at me first!"
Although Yue Hengtang cultivated Bigu, he couldn't bear to touch her heart, and ate with her at every meal. There was silence at the dinner table, only the white balls ate happily, and from time to time let out bursts of happy admiration.
In the middle of the night, Yue Hengtang sat on the edge of the couch in the dormitory, carefully helped Zining cover the quilt, and said lightly: "One day when the dust settles, you have to believe me." ”
"Ning'er, the spring water is ready. Huan Ling took the wooden barrel and put it at the spring, turned her head to look at Zi Ning, saw her cheeks crimson, a shy look, pursed her lips and chuckled: "Ning Er must want to be the emperor, I guessed right, right? I heard them say this morning that the goddesses of the immortal clan are coming to Kunlun to catch up with the fasting on the eighth day, I don't know if those people in Shushan will come." There is also the Jingxiao goddess, eighty percent of the injuries on her hands are healed, and she will definitely not miss Laba Fasting Day. ”
Zi Ning was a little surprised when she heard her, turned her head and asked in surprise, "The fairy goddess is coming to Kunlun?"
Huan Ling straightened up, took a light step towards the muddy water under his feet, and nodded: "This matter is also a little strange, I heard the people who cleaned the inner hall say that there are fairy queens and fairy concubines who are coming, and they still say what is forbidden, and I don't understand." ”
"Immortal Queen Immortal Concubine?" Zi Ning's heart slammed up, but he didn't have a clue, and muttered: "Brother Tang is already busy, isn't it even more annoying when these people come?"
There was a slight sadness in his eyes, and he said: "Although he has the power of a god, he should also take care of it." I have to think of a recipe for medicinal food and make a good soup for him......"
As soon as the words fell, there was a coughing sound from behind the rockery.
Then a young girl came out of the cave, followed by two maids with combed buns, each carrying a small empty bucket in their hands, walking with a staggering step, swinging their waists.
The leaves of the dense forest covered half of their figures, and when they got closer, they saw that the girl in front of them had bright hair, pink clothes were very bright, and their faces were proud. Zi Ning recognized her when she landed, it was Ziqi, the goddess of Shushan.
Just as he was about to speak, Ziqi suddenly snorted coldly: "If it weren't for my cough just now, you slut wouldn't know what to say." Thinking that it was not enough to seduce the Emperor, now that he has climbed into the Kunlun Palace, he is even more shameless. Her eyebrows were slightly straightened, her eyes swept Zi Ning up and down, and there was a look of disdain at the corner of her mouth.
His eyes swept over Zi Ning, and then turned to Huan Ling, who was wearing homely clothes, and sneered strangely: "This Kunlun Wonderland is unlivable, and all kinds of goods come in, but you have to be shameless, with the delusion of a toad." The words were vicious, and the cold expression on his face distorted with the light and shadow.
Zi Ning lowered her head silently, and did not answer for a long time, but her expression was sparse.
I already knew in my heart that after these immortal goddesses came to Kunlun, they would not be able to live. But she didn't want Yue Hengtang to worry and annoy, just as Ziqi was a deaf person, she would say whatever she liked, she just didn't hear it.
Huan Ling was a little angry between her eyebrows, turned her eyes and peeked at Zi Ning, and saw that she had a touch of indifference on her face, and her heart calmed down a little. He bowed his head slightly, silent, like a pothos growing next to a bamboo branch.
Ziqi sneered twice, but seeing that they didn't react, Zi Ning's face was even more indifferent, and she didn't take it to heart at all. Dengshi's eyebrows were upturned, and there was a fiery resentment in his eyes.
A few days ago, she was selected by the Immortal Clan to be the Kunlun Immortal Concubine, which really made her happy for a few days. Kunlun has the status of the first immortal clan, and when she becomes the immortal concubine of the absolute emperor, she is half the master of Kunlun, and she can call for wind and rain in the immortal world in the future.
She is used to being arrogant in Shu Mountain, and she doesn't take other goddesses in her eyes at all, and she also sneers at the Jingxiao of Danxue Mountain. What can Jingxiao do if she is selected as the fairy queen, whether she can get the favor of the absolute emperor or not, it depends on the means.
But Ziqi has a sharp thorn in her heart, and that is Zi Ning. The Fengzentai Thunder Tribulation has caused a sensation in the entire Immortal Dao world, and everyone knows that the Absolute Emperor has great affection for the Xuannu. If she wants to gain a foothold in Kunlun, she must first get rid of Zi Ning.
The pink dress shook twice, and Ziqi hated the roots of her teeth. Turning his head to see a wooden barrel being connected to the spring, he snorted coldly, raised his hand to make a trick and swept over, the wooden barrel "knocked" over, and the bubbling spring water spilled out, seeping into the ground along a stone crack.
"You-" Huan Ling's face suddenly turned red, he stomped his foot hard, and hurriedly squatted down to help the barrel up, but saw that the walls of the barrel were stained with some mud. I couldn't bear it anymore, and I raised my head and shouted, "We took these springs so easily, why did you knock over the bucket?"
Ziqi smiled triumphantly on her face, standing under the bright shadow of the tree, the light pink silk satin dress was extremely dazzling, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a touch of pride, "It was this goddess who knocked it over, what can you do?"
She just can't get used to Zining, why should a mortal girl be favored by the Kunlun Emperor!
Wuji Xuannu has no skill level, if she can't find the Xuannu inheritance, she will always be a mortal woman.
Zi Ning gritted her teeth, the indifferent expression on her face converged, she pulled up the sleeves of her silk satin shirt, the corners of her mouth tightened, and said: "We have never offended you, why do we want to cause trouble? This is Kunlun Wonderland, not a place for you to make noise." ”
She couldn't bear it anymore, and she didn't understand why Ziqi had to find fault and go against her.
The corners of Ziqi's thin eyes twitched twice, revealing a trace of ruthlessness, a pair of Danfeng eyes glared at Zi Ning, and her thin lips lightly scolded: "Cheap hooves, Lingquan is for the disciples of the Immortal Clan, you are an inferior mortal girl, and you are also worthy of using this half bucket of water? I knocked it over, I want to teach you to look better, don't blindly distinguish between dignity and inferiority!"
How can the Immortal Clan's Dignity and Inferiority Rank allow an inferior mortal girl to transgress herself? Her expression was fierce, and her eyes stared at Zi Ning, "You won't be proud for long, sooner or later you will fall into my hands!"
Zi Ning bit her lip tightly and pulled the Huan Ling beside her, "Let's go, don't listen to them chew their tongues." ”
She wanted to go back to the Kunlun Palace, to Brother Tang's side, to the Qingxu Valley Realm, only there was a quiet and carefree world.
A short maid behind Ziqi pursed her lips and said, "Miss, why bother to be idle with this little hoof, such a slut crawled in from the kitchen of the palace gate of the hair dove, and relied exclusively on seducing men. It just so happens that the goddesses of the immortal clan have arrived today, so we have to take a good look at how this hoof served the new soup for recuperation and went to serve by the bedside of the emperor. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head, and there was a hint of imperceptible jealousy in his tone: "Miss, looking at what this hoof is wearing, it is full of fox charm. Our people in Shushan are also stupid and honest, and it is difficult to see the emperor, how can he be able to resist such a shameless lowly embryo under his nose, and move into the emperor's bedroom little by little!"
As he spoke, he stepped in front of Zi Ning, stretched out two fingers, and gently tugged at her collar.
Zi Ning raised her head and glanced at her coldly, raised her hand, and blocked it back with a "snap", "Who do you say is a fox charmer, and who do you say is cheap? I was born in the Shushan Immortal Clan, and I am a descendant of the surname Yun." What are you, a flattering maid, can you be presumptuous here?"
The maid suddenly pursed her lips and sneered, "What a descendant of the surname Yun, you are just an illegitimate wild species." Don't be unconvinced, our young lady married into Kunlun as a fairy concubine, and I am the young lady's maid, so I am naturally more noble than a mortal girl like you. ”
Zi Ning wanted to twist her, but suddenly heard the word "fairy concubine", and was stunned, "What fairy concubine? Who wants to be a fairy concubine?"
Ziqi was very proud, and a cold smile appeared on her face, "The Absolute Emperor not only has two fairy concubines, but also Jingxiao is an immortal queen." You, a mortal girl, are really boring, you don't have any reputation, and you insist on staying in Kunlun Palace and refusing to leave, isn't this cheap?"
