Begonias bloom like fine white light clouds, overlapping pink and white flowers of different shades, clustered on the dense branches, showing a thousand beautiful postures. Tanglin Gongzi's eyes were gorgeous, and the falling petals were scrambling, but they could not fall into his deep eyes.
looked at Zi Ning for a moment, and his face shook with a touch of imperceptible disdain, such a clever woman deliberately approached the Peerless Emperor, which was the most disgusting thing in his life. His brow furrowed slightly, and he turned and walked away, not wanting to look at her again.
Zi Ning was about to answer him, but when he saw the undisguised disdain, he couldn't help but look embarrassed, and shouted: "You are very rude! That's right, I am a maid in the dining room, you are the son of the Penglai Immortal Clan, and your status is a big difference, but you shouldn't despise me like this." ”
She thinks that whether she cultivates immortals or not, they are all human beings. This immortal son, with his eyes above the top, thought that if he was handsome, he would be invincible in the world.
Tanglin Gongzi was stunned, lightly twisted a little petal on his arm sleeve, looked at it in front of his eyes for a moment, and then flipped his fingers down, let the petals fall on the mud, stretched out his foot and stepped on it heavily, before stepping forward.
For him, meaningless people, things that are not related to their own bodies, are always like catkins floating in front of him, which can fade to the point that there is no trace.
Seeing that he was doing this on purpose, Zi Ning regarded her as that petal, which had to be crushed under her feet, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You are an immortal clan, and you should have a benevolent heart for mortals, but you are really disappointed to be alone." After a pause, he muttered in a low voice: "Yue Hengtang is much stronger than you......"
Yue Hengtang's smile appeared in his mind, and he felt a trace of warmth when he landed.
The prince of Tanglin turned his head, his eyes were quiet and picturesque, and he said lightly: "Have you heard of the ancient immortal Taoist women's moral training? Yuehengtang, how can you say these three words?"
Zi Ning didn't like to listen to the set of male superiority and female inferiority the most, and thought: "Does the immortal realm also set three obedience and four virtues for women, what do you say about humility and virtue, it is all to restrain women, does this still make people live?"
Immediately snorted, shook the wicker in his hand, and glared at the son of Tanglin, "What is the ancient immortal Taoist female training, what is the virtuous Joan of Arc, the woman's Lan Xinhui quality, and the talent is unparalleled, how can you know." It's just that the eyelids are shallow, and only look at the body and posture, and a woman's obedience is a virtue. According to me, you have the name of the son of the immortal clan, but you are a blind person. I have never had a bosom friend in my life, and I have never loved a woman with all my heart, I only know how to cultivate immortals and refine levels, which is really boring. ”
When the prince of Tanglin heard her words, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and immediately stared at Zi Ning for a long time, before he said coldly: "I only said one sentence, and I attracted you to talk so much." What does it matter to me whether a woman is a woman with a good heart or not, whether she is talented or not? Besides, I never wanted to be a bosom friend with a woman. All your words have been in vain. Or, tell these words to the Kunlun Peerless Emperor!"
Zi Ning couldn't help blushing, bit her lip, and turned her eyes to glare at him, "Say that I have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, you are the one who is strong in words! Of course, the Absolute Emperor is better than you, he is a hero who stands up to the heavens and the earth, and the leader of the benevolent monarch of all over the world." You only have a clever mouth, a lotus flower, and an embroidered pillow, with an empty pair of skins. ”
Tanglin Gongzi was stunned for a moment, not angry but laughing, no one dared to say that he was an embroidered pillow, empty skin, he looked at Zining's pink face like a hibiscus petal, his expression was slightly disgusted, and he was even more delicate and good-looking.
sighed deeply, and didn't mind what Zi Ning said, she only sighed that her identity was a little maid, otherwise with such a smart appearance, she would not lose to the goddesses of the fairy clan.
Thinking of this, he took a step closer, raised his hand and pinched a pink and white begonia petal that fell on her shoulder, and said after a moment of silence: "Begonia could have been dressed up with hibiscus face, but unfortunately, some colors are too frivolous and light, even if they are made up, it will be difficult to stand out for a long time." Seeing that your complexion is light and gorgeous, you are too delicate, but you don't want to be so aggressive, and you are mistaken. ”
Zi Ning was dizzy by his words, and couldn't help frowning, clearly saying that he had something to say, but he didn't know what he was referring to.
Tanglin Gongzi's quiet eyes turned slightly, and the begonia petals in his hand floated to the ground, and said: "It's a pity that the delicate flowers here, but the peony and orchid stand proudly in the world." Begonia pear blossoms bloom beautifully, but they are floating with the water, how can they stay fragrant under the moon. He said: "If the moon is the bright moon, only the peony orchid is worthy of him." ”
Zi Ning's heart sank, the meaning of the prince of Tanglin couldn't be clearer, those immortal women are peony orchids, and little maids like her are begonia pear blossoms, not only are they not noble at all, but they don't even have the qualifications to like Yuehengtang.
couldn't help but feel angry and sentimental, a painful sourness surged in her heart, her eyes were wet, she hurriedly clenched her fists in her sleeves, and held back the tears that flowed out.
When I raised my eyes and glanced at the begonia flowers, I felt a little sad in my heart, the begonia pear blossoms were really just drifting.
The prince of Tanglin looked even more distant and deep, and said quietly: "Since it is a begonia pear flower, you should keep your duty, don't blindly be strong, not to mention your own humiliation, and also affect the reputation of the Kunlun Emperor." ”
He has been cultivating in the immortal clan since he was a child, and he rarely has contact with outsiders, and he only relies on his heart to speak and do things, and he doesn't know anything about human affairs. Therefore, although he kindly admonished Zi Ning, he didn't know that these words were very hurtful.
Zi Ning held back her tears and said coldly: "Since you like the peony orchid, you should look for it carefully, why waste your time under the begonia flowers? Even if such flowers are fresh and fragrant, what can they do? Shaohua is short, time is like a shuttle, apart from those few flower colors, what else can be left?"
Raising his eyes again, he looked at a begonia flower above his head, full of pink and white floating down, as if he was in a fairyland, and the sadness and anger in his heart were swept away.
Suddenly, he turned his eyes and smiled, "I like the blossoms of this tree very much, and it blooms with a cluster of swaggering flowers in the spring breeze." Drift away with the water, or fall into the mud, I don't care. In the spring of next year, another tree will bloom. ”
"These petals fell into the mud, but they trampled on themselves, how can they be pure and fragrant?" Donglin Gongzi was repeatedly robbed of white by her, and he also gave birth to a sense of persistence, raised his foot and stepped on the falling flowers, with an indifferent face, and said lightly.
"What do you know?" Zi Ning's eyes blinked slightly, "I am Begonia, dedicated to the bright moon and flowers, and the moon pond is the bright moon, shining brightly and falling flowers." Such a rhyme is the affectionate fit between the falling flowers and the bright moon. You are not a falling flower, nor is it a bright moon, and what kind of remarks are you making!"
Tanglin Gongzi was stunned for a while, and said for a while: "It's a pity that you have the intention of falling flowers, and he is ruthless." The identities of the little maid and the emperor are separated by the end of the world after all. ”
Zi Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "The end of the world is close to each other, and the falling flowers and bright moon are all loved." Me and the moon Hengtang, that's it. ”
Tanglin Gongzi raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered to himself: "Ruthless or affectionate, it's just a thought." If he is puzzled, his obsession is always difficult to move...... "He turned his eyes to Zi Ning and sighed: "The green willows are all gone, and the east wind misunderstands the self-return door. ”
Zi Ning pursed her lips, "A crooked poem, why bother to explain it? The green willow has no flowers, and what you said is catkins." ”
Tanglin Gongzi frowned, raised his hand gently, pinched a thin catkins in mid-air, and asked indifferently: "Since the green willows have no flowers, why are they scattered and falling like this?"
Layers of light catkins floated by, reflecting the gorgeous cyan brocade robe on the body, like a layer of misty frost and snow accumulated on Dai Mountain, and the fairy posture of the dust and refinement melted into a green willow painting.
Zi Ning couldn't help but sigh secretly, "If he doesn't have an eccentric temper, he is also a handsome talent who has come out of the turbidity and dust." Blinking and concentrating, he grabbed a handful of catkins casually, shook his head and said: "The catkins are overwhelmingly charming, not to spread the fragrance of flowers, but to send the seeds to a distance, take root and sprout, and create a willow forest with mountains and mountains, spring and autumn go back and forth, endlessly." ”
Tanglin Gongzi showed impatience and said coldly: "What is the use of catkins seeds, rotten catkins are generally scraped all over the ground, but they are annoying." I have likened it to a willow flower, which has added to the vain boasting, but in the lyrical nature of the occasion, you have added these praises to it. ”
Then he shook his sleeves lightly, and swept a tuft of catkins away from his eyes with disgust.
Zi Ning raised her neck and retorted: "Who said that catkins seeds are useless? It is a cool thing, stops bleeding and dispels dampness, and treats carbuncles." If you dislike it like this, if you practice the immortal method in the future, if your limbs are wet and paralyzed, and you get carbuncles, swelling and pain and ulceration, then you will know its various benefits. Stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of catkins, put them to his mouth and blew them, and the catkins fluttered when he landed, causing a layer of white mist to hang on his head.
Tanglin Gongzi was slightly surprised, looked at Zi Ning again, and saw that she was wearing a goose yellow loose skirt with wet cloth, although the clothes were old and faded, but there was a delicate beauty, standing in the begonia flowers, let the fine petals float down, a piece of pink and white fell between the eyebrows but it was colorless, and it reflected the skin white and snowy.
I couldn't help but feel a stir in my heart and asked, "How do you know this?"
Zi Ning looked at him and pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't I tell you that I am a maid in the dining room and know how to cook and make soup, so I know this." Otherwise, one day if you mix up the ingredients, the physical properties are in conflict with each other, and you will eat human life, wouldn't it be a great sin. ”
The prince of Tanglin was thoughtful, he had always been inattentive to mortals, but he didn't expect the maids of the palace to have such knowledge, it seems that he was indeed a little prejudiced before.
Seeing that he was silent, Zi Ning turned her eyes and smiled: "The spring breeze does not lift the ban on willow flowers, and the spring breeze flutters on the faces of pedestrians." You only know that you hate catkins, but you don't know that the path is red and thin, and the suburbs are full of green, which is the best scenery. If it weren't for these willows, where would the green leaves and Tibetan warblers come from, and the green curtains will be separated by swallows. If you don't like it, leave these willows, so why be angry with them?"
Tanglin Gongzi was amazed, listening to her tactful voice and beautiful words, he had a little more love in his heart, so he nodded slightly, raised his eyes and said: "With such talent as you, it is a pity to stay in the country of Fa Gu as a maid." Why don't you go back to Penglai with me and be my apprentice?" Ruhua looked at Zi Ning with indifferent eyes, and said, "I can guarantee that you will step into the rank of a goddess within five years." ”
Only when a female cultivator breaks through the ninth-order skill can she be considered to be among the goddesses, and then she has to go through the four levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang before she can reach the rank of the empress. Since the decline of the Immortal Clan, there has only been one Empress Hua Yao in the entire Immortal Dao Realm. The prince of Tanglin was very optimistic about Zining, thinking that as long as he guided him, in time, this little girl would also become the empress.
Zi Ning looked up at him, shook his head and said, "At your age, I'm afraid that the foundation and immortal power are not solid, don't be a teacher and mislead people's children." And you're not a few years older than me, wouldn't it be a disadvantage if I kowtow to you and call Master?" peeked at the green bamboo flute he was holding behind him, and said, "Besides, I don't play music and sing, why do I learn to play the flute with you?"
"This ......" Tanglin Gongzi was speechless, secretly angry in his heart, how many people from all over the world dream of worshipping under the Penglai Gate, and dare not dare to think that Donglin Gongzi will be the master. But this little maid who didn't know the height of the sky refused to be his apprentice, and she had a lot of doubts about his strength.
Seeing Zi Ning's smile and harmless appearance, Tanglin Gongzi felt an unprecedented sense of frustration, and stayed for a long time before saying: "I only mentioned this time, I missed the opportunity, you must not regret it in the future." ”
Seeing that she was not moved, she continued depressedly: "Enter the Penglai Immortal Realm and become my personal disciple, no one in the entire Immortal Dao World dares you to contend with you,...... You want to turn down such a good opportunity?"
Zi Ning smiled, nodded first, and then shook her head, "I know Penglai is extremely powerful, but I don't worship you as a teacher." What she thought in her heart was that Tanglin was the sworn brother of the Emperor, and if she worshipped him as a teacher, the relationship would be worse again!
Donglin Gongzi let out a long breath, the matter of accepting apprentices could not be forced, originally pitiful Zining, kindly accepted her as an apprentice, and became her backer from then on, but now he took the initiative to ask for the door and was disliked, which made him embarrassed.
Penglai is one of the three major immortal clans in ancient times, second only to Kunlun in status, higher than Shushan, and is the strongest in the wealth of the immortal clan. Other immortal caves are reluctant to use some spirit crystals, Penglai's spirit jade can be used at will, and there are countless agate, coral, jade, and pearls full of aura, and you can have as many as you want. As for fairy grass and pills, Penglai is so rare that no one can eat it as cabbage and jelly beans if you want.
With such favorable cultivation conditions, Zi Ning even had to refuse!
There was a period of annoyance in his heart, Donglin Gongzi was still unwilling, flashed a pair of eyes as clear as water, and said: "My willow leaf green eyebrow flying knife is forged by ancient Qingguang Xuaniron, a peerless artifact that is rare in heaven and earth......" Without waiting to finish speaking, Zi Ning interrupted impatiently: "What kind of artifact, your flying knife, I can't beat it, if I learn from you, I can't even beat the rabbit." ”
The prince of Tanglin was angry, his cold eyes glanced at her, and said, "I really want to hurt you, do you think I can dodge?" He, a person who cultivates immortals, used the ancient immortal weapon Liu Ye Qingmei to injure a little maid? This is simply a joke.
He has always regarded himself very highly, and immortal cultivators from all over the world rarely can enter his eyes, but today he has been entangled with a little maid in the country of Hair Dove for a long time, and even he feels very shameless.
If ordinary people saw Tanglin Gongzi, they would have already panicked and retreated, and they didn't even dare to disturb the shadow of him walking, let alone dare to say a word or two. The maids of the palace of the dove king, as long as they caught a glimpse of this green clothes, they knelt down and bowed on both sides and kowtowed, how could there be a maid like Zi Ning, not only did not avoid retreating and saluting, but jumped on their feet, pointing at him and arguing and shouting.
Zi Ning didn't want to be soft at all, narrowed her eyes, and asked, "Your flying knife is very powerful, no one can avoid it?"
Tanglin Gongzi's eyes drifted to a corner of the forest, and replied indifferently: "In the four seas and eight wildernesses, there are no more than five people who can escape the flying knife of Liu Ye Qingmei!" He put his hands behind his back, his neck was straight, and his tone was very arrogant.
Seeing that he was confident, Zi Ning faintly had a sense of arrogance and disdain, her eyes rolled when she landed, and he smiled dryly: "Since you are so powerful, why is there no name for you in the flying knife ranking of the Immortal Dao Realm?" She felt more and more that although the prince of Tanglin was cold and arrogant, his heart was not bad, so her naughty heart suddenly rose, and she wanted to fix him.
"Flying knife rankings?" Donglin Gongzi turned his head suddenly, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, he didn't know that there was a ranking list, and thought: "If it wasn't made by those idle and boring emperors, I don't know." "I can't be sure in my heart, but after all, I am confident, even if there is a flying knife ranking, Liu Ye Qingmei Knife will definitely be on the list.
With a faint look of pride, he asked, "Tell me whose name is on the list." ”
Zi Ning saw that he was fooled, so he scratched the back of his head, pretended to be concentrating, and said to himself: "Those names are too weird, I only tell you the top three, anyway, there is no you." ”
Tanglin Gongzi snorted indifferently, only to see Zi Ning snap his fingers, raise his head and think: "The first in the ranking is Xiao Li's flying knife, the second is Xiao Li's sister's flying knife, and the third is ...... It's a flying knife and a flying knife, and the ranking behind it doesn't have your name at all!"
Zi Ning was secretly happy in her heart, anyway, Xiao Li Feidao is indeed famous, and everyone on the earth knows it.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li and his sister, see you again with flying knives...... Why are these names so strange, but I have never heard of them?" Donglin Gongzi frowned and looked at Zi Ning with some suspicion. These names are very obscure, and with his erudition and wide memory, they are unheard of.
He has lived in the Immortal Clan since he was born, the disciples of Penglai respect him, and the Dao Clan has great respect for him, and no one has ever joked with him. And he has few contacts, he just thinks that everyone is honest, and when he sees Zi Ning on the list, he believes it and doesn't doubt it.
Zi Ning pretended to be calm, let out a dry laugh, and sighed: "That's because you are lonely." In the immortal realm, who doesn't know the name of Xiao Li's flying knife, it is said that his flying knife comes and goes without a trace, no one in the world can dodge it, and no one has even seen him shoot, just because the people who have seen the flying knife, 'Huh' are all dead, and the soul is scattered, and the smoke is gone. ”
As he spoke, he made a throwing knife with both hands, then withdrew his move, winked at Donglin Gongzi, and asked, "How is it?
The prince of Tanglin stared at her for a long time and asked, "Although the flying knife can kill people, how can it make people's souls fly away and disappear?" The cultivators of the immortal clan have many condensed souls, and even if their bodies are destroyed, they can still preserve their souls until they find a suitable body to be reborn. Therefore, for immortal cultivators, the most terrifying thing is that their souls are scattered, and there is no chance of rebirth.
Zi Ning stomped his foot hard, revealing an expression of hatred for iron and steel, "You are so stupid, since you are the number one on the list, of course it is not an ordinary flying knife, your flying knife will stab a hole at most, other people's flying knives, hum, one move will directly destroy the soul into ashes." ”
Seeing that her mouth was like a river, Donglin Gongzi said it very surely, but he couldn't help but believe it, and muttered to himself: "How can the flying knife be practiced to such a realm......? Someday, I'll see it for myself. ”
When Zi Ning heard this, she almost burst out laughing, but she still had to pretend, quickly restrained her smile, and said seriously: "A flying knife like yours has to be practiced for at least a few hundred years before it can squeeze into the rankings." ”
The prince of Tanglin frowned and was silent for a moment, a little depressed, his willow leaf green eyebrow flying knife was made 100,000 years ago, using the Qingguang Xuaniron of the Great Wilderness of the East China Sea, and it was forged by Shending for 7749 days before refining these 12 pieces.
If there is really a flying knife ranking in the Immortal Dao Realm, it is impossible for Liu Ye Qingmei Dao to fall off the list, he stared at Zi Ning, and said unconvinced: "Maybe Liu Ye Qingmei Dao can't enter the top three, but you are a little maid, how do you know that the ranking behind you doesn't have my name?"
He is familiar with the illustrious immortals in the immortal realm, but there are also some wild immortals who are not bound by the rules of the immortal path, and the divine dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, and travels between the four seas and eight wildernesses, and the strength of these people cannot be underestimated. Thinking about it, Xiao Li Feidao and Xiao Li Feidao and his sister are all wild immortals.
Zi Ning didn't expect him to be so serious, and he was a little entangled in his heart, "If I knew this, I wouldn't talk about the flying knife rankings, this lie is ring after ring, when will it come to an end!"
She lowered her eyebrows slightly, shook her head helplessly, and sighed, "Do you have to say it? I really don't want to hit you." ”
Tanglin Gongzi stood up with his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "But it's okay to say it!"
Zi Ning had no choice but to raise her hand to clear her throat, blinked twice with her big eyes, and said slowly:
"The fourth is Jiangfu Mountain, five short figures, ** flowers;
The fifth is that the three-body country is neither yin nor yang, and eats maniacs;
the sixth is the old lady with goosebumps and crane hair in Luhoi Mountain;
The seventh is Yi Sushan's sissy and his son's little sissy;
the eighth is the bald yellow-haired one-eyed deaf man of Dustpan Mountain;
The ninth is the beggars in Shouyang Mountain, who are big and broken;
The tenth is the lady of the Oiran who runs through the chest of the country's smoke willow cuilou. ”
After speaking, Zi Ning didn't forget to ask him, "Which of these people is you?"
The prince of Tanglin was speechless for a while, stunned for a long time, and then came to his senses, and sighed faintly: "Since ancient times, immortals have mostly hidden outside the great wilderness, and this statement is really true. ”
Zi Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "That's right, you are a fairy son who has no worries and worries all day long, and even the clothes are extremely gorgeous, and you are not a hard-working person at first glance." The heavens have always descended on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and tear their clothes. You pay so much attention to appearance, how can you have the heart to train into a peerless immortal? Look at me, all of them are in this set of clothes, casual and chic. As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the placket of his half-worn clothes, very proud.
Tanglin Gongzi really showed a trace of shame on his face, and was silent for a long time, but he had already looked at Zi Ning with admiration, thinking that although she was a little maid, she was well-informed, and she had a casual and natural bearing, which was not the same as those women who twisted and pretended.
But seeing that her clothes are very shabby, her hair bun is twisted casually on her head, and she is glaring and smiling, there is no fairy spirit at all. couldn't help frowning lightly, and said, "Don't you really want to worship the Penglai Sect, such a waste of talent?"
Zi Ning grinned, "Wait for your Willow Leaf Flying Knife to enter the rankings, and then mention the matter of accepting apprentices." ”
