18-Equally Matched (1/2)
This place is far from Taiyi Palace. If you just rely on flying swords... With Si Qingyan's sense of direction, you may never reach Taiyi Palace in your lifetime. Ye Li doesn't know the spatial coordinates, so he can't go through the space directly.
The two thought about it and decided to take a flying boat.
As a mature cultivation world, various businesses have been developed in depth. In addition to flying boats, there are also flying swords. However, the experience of flying swords is not as good as flying boats. I heard that it is shaking and fast, and there is a risk of falling. Many people are dizzy from flying swords. If you are not in a hurry, flying boats are better.
Ye Li is very rich. He bought a top luxury flying boat ticket with a private room. It is very spacious inside, with spiritual tea and spiritual fruits, and you can also ask beautiful girls to come in and sing a little song.
"This tea... is not very good." Ye Li imitated Si Qingyan's appearance, took a sip, and showed disgust on his face.
"It's mainly a problem of water." Ye Li took out a pot of hibiscus flower dew from his own space.
Ye Sang immediately shouted wildly in his heart, that's mine, mine!
Ye Li ignored it and took another portion of tea leaves. He held the pot with his hand, and soon white smoke came out of the pot mouth, with a fresh breath. He lifted the pot and poured it into the white jade teapot. White smoke rose in the jade pot, and the green tea leaves swirled in the water. The originally transparent flower dew was stained with clear green, and the sky was blue after the rain, clear as a wash.
"What exactly is hibiscus flower dew?" The white jade cup beside Si Qingyan was filled by Ye Li, like spring water, green and warm.
"It's the dew on the tree... But the hibiscus tree doesn't bloom, so it can't be called leaf dew, right?" Ye Li filled a cup himself and poured it all in one gulp.
Ah, it smells so good.
Si Qingyan recalled Ye Li's original body. Such a tall tree can collect a basin of dew every day. Or should I try to release the original body to collect dew?
"It shouldn't happen in the future."
Ye Li looked relaxed.
In the past, he grew in one place and couldn't move. Now there is no need to become the original body, and Ye Sang naturally has no leisure to collect dew.
Si Qingyan woke up instantly.
We can't lose sight of the main point and add a lot of trouble for the sake of food and drink.
Bang bang bang——
The door was knocked suddenly.
Ye Li and Si Qingyan looked at each other, neither of them wanted to get up to open the door.
Ye Li finally realized that he could open the door without getting up, and with a thought, the door of the guest room opened automatically.
Standing outside the door was a tall and slender monk with clear eyebrows and eyes, cold temperament, high black hair, red lips and white teeth. Without saying a word, he had an aura that everything in the world was in his hands.
"I want to drink tea." The voice was clear, but it could be heard that it was a female voice.
"Come in." Ye Li looked at her as if he saw another person.
She naturally stepped forward and closed the door.
"Is it you?" Ye Li raised his eyebrows, a little complaining.
"Yes." She sat on the right side of Si Qingyan, with a very casual posture.
"Hello, I'm Sang Li." She raised her eyebrows and smiled, staring at Si Qingyan, and stretched out her right hand.
Si Qingyan put her hand on him, and the two shook hands lightly, then separated and looked at each other, both of them seeing some familiarity.
Ye Li was a little puzzled.
Sang Li tentatively said:
"Focus on economic construction?"
"Adhere to the four basic principles and reform and opening up." Si Qingyan answered.
"The spring breeze of reform is blowing everywhere?" Sang Li's eyes were already smiling.
"The harmonious people are really proud." Si Qingyan was very cooperative.
"Damn, I finally meet my compatriots." Sang Li smiled brightly, holding the teacup, drinking by himself, without any politeness.
Ye Li could never get angry with her.
Even if he licked until he had nothing left and reluctantly gave up, when he met again, he could only stare blankly.
"You are much better now."
Sang Li looked at Ye Li with admiration in his eyes.
Ye Li snorted coldly, I am much older than you, why do you praise me in this tone.
"Where have you been all these years?" Ye Li asked.
"Walk around and take a look." Sang Li said casually, as if thinking about something important.
"You didn't show up just to drink this cup of tea?"
Ye Li thought of the man-eating plant that had just transformed, and he couldn't understand what Sang Li was thinking.
Don't you like the little princess? The little princess has transformed, why don't you go to her, but come to me instead? Has she finally realized that I am the best now?
"No." Sang Li shook his head and looked at Si Qingyan with a sincere tone:
"I came here for this Taoist friend, it has nothing to do with you."
"Oh."
Ye Li instantly became very cold.
I thought she showed up to compensate me, but I didn't expect there was another reason, so stingy.
"She and I are both called Sang Li. To distinguish, you can call me Ling Tian." She supported her chin, with deep contours and gentle eyes, staring at Si Qingyan, her eyes full of kindness. Her profile is very three-dimensional, and if she doesn't speak, she looks more like a man. Her temperament is too cold, making people unconsciously ignore other characteristics.
Si Qingyan nodded and lowered her eyebrows, slowly saying her name.
"Si Qingyan."
Ye Li was not surprised by this. Names are external things. Gender is fake, and it is normal for names to be fake. As for how Ye Sang was sad and crying, it was not a problem he cared about.
"Why is it this name?" Although Ye Li said he didn't care, he always analyzed it in his mind when he heard others say the name.
"Si is a divine position, in charge."
"Qing is the color of the East."
"Yan Valley, it is where I was born."
"To be precise, the name is the last two characters, Si is just a surname."
Si Qingyan recalled the origin of her name, and then recalled the first time she opened her eyes. She felt empty in her heart, not knowing the past, the future, or the sufferings of the world. All she could see was the endless green mountains in the surrounding fields, the mighty breeze, and the rivers meandering through the mountains. Like a silver horse, quiet and vast, you immediately fall in love with the mountains and rivers of the world, and hold the universe in your heart. Yan Valley is located between mountains. There is a natural barrier on the outside, which makes it very hidden. The inside is full of spiritual energy, with qionghua, fairy grass, rare and exotic animals, and it feels like a fairyland. The monsters who gave birth to sanity all respected him as the Mountain God, and acquaintances called him Qingjun, or Yanjun. As for the word Si, it was given by heaven and earth, symbolizing the good wishes of the world consciousness.
"It's a very good name." Ye Li praised it sincerely.
Sang Li nodded, or rather she should be called Empress Lingtian, which was the title she gave herself when the country was founded.
Later, Ye Li asked her what the reincarnation mentioned in the prophecy was about. Sang Li looked at him like he was a fool and was amazed. Seeing that Ye Li really didn't understand, he explained:
"I was indeed born into the royal family at that time, but I didn't lose my memory. It was easy to hide it... My parents died early in this life, and I had few relatives. Later, I found an opportunity to leave Xize, and didn't care about what happened next."
"What's the point of Nishizawa? Staying there and becoming a goddess? It's extremely boring."
"Whether it thrives or dies, it has nothing to do with me."
Sang Li really doesn't care about that.
I just sensed that the little princess was about to be born, so I came here to escort her for the last time. From now on, we will never owe each other again.
"Love is the most worthless thing." Ye Li was clearly holding the tea cup, but there was a hint of drunkenness in his eyes.
"Indeed." Sang Li felt the same way.
"Sometimes you give everything, but in the end you have nothing." Ye Li looked at Sang Li with reproachful eyes.
Sang Li looked at the sky, sighed softly, and said:
"Sometimes you think the other person likes you, but it's actually just a scam."
"Sometimes you wait for tens of thousands of years, but get nothing." Ye Li was strongly hinting to Sang Li, hoping that she would give her some hard work or something.
"Sometimes you lose your soul and meet your best friend after reincarnation. This kind of fate is more stable than anything else." Sang Li looked calm and filled with emotion. We have such a good relationship, why do we need to talk about money?
The two of them were going back and forth, explaining things in simple terms, like gods fighting. Si Qingyan felt sleepy as he watched, wanting to sleep but unable to.
In the end, Ye Li couldn't bear it any longer and shut his mouth tightly, refusing to say a word.
The two of them drank tea each, and Ye Li asked:
"Why are you going to Taiyi Palace?"
"Apprenticeship." Sang Li thought for a while and reluctantly explained:
"There are many swordsmen in Taiyi Palace, and the sect has a good atmosphere. I feel it is better to practice swordsmanship, so I want to give it a try."
"Oh." Ye Li was very indifferent.
Why are you, a genius who practices swordsmanship, going to the Taiyi Palace where there are so many swordsmen? Ruining the place?
It's really confusing.
"Then why are you going to Taiyi Palace?" Sang Li didn't understand the little tree demon's brain circuit.
Do you still want to continue your studies?
"Fellow Daoist Si saved me, and I want to follow him to repay his kindness."
Ye Li was extremely arrogant for a moment, which was a kind of contempt for Sang Li. No matter how much Ye Sang and I have paid for you, we can’t express it, it’s too cruel.
"You saved the little princess. She should repay you. We each saved half of it. Let her repay you first. I don't care. I don't care about these nonsense. Saving people is saving people. How can you seek repayment from the other party? What? That's not my style." Sang Li showed a gentle smile, his whole face glowing with selfless love. She is so noble and helpful, completely different from the fussy little tree demon.
"..." Thinking of the little princess, Ye Li felt a pang in his heart.
What good things could she have on her newly transformed body? The special treasures of Nishizawa Kingdom are all on his body. The remaining ones may be treasures to others, but he doesn't like them.
Forget it, he just needs to repay the favor himself, he can't force others to be as good as him.
"Why is her body a piranha?" Si Qingyan always felt that the little princess's body was incompatible with this world.
"The demon world was originally a small world wandering in the universe, where human civilization remained, almost like the end of the world. When it was discovered, the humans in it were already extinct, all the animals were dead, and plants dominated the world. Later it drifted to the Ming Dynasty Near Lan, the demon cultivators felt like they had found a treasure and gathered the strength of all clans to fix it outside the Ming Lan boundary and use it as their base camp."
"There are a lot of plants in the demon world that Minglan doesn't have. The piranha is one of the top species in it. It eats everything. It is immune to non-physical attacks. Its body is also extremely hard. It takes me twice to cut it with a knife. Break..."
"The plants there cannot produce intelligence, so they can be used as containers for the little princess. Of course, other plants are also good, but they are very ugly. In comparison, the piranha is better, at least it is beautiful when it does not open its mouth. "Sang Li has been to the forbidden area of the demon world and found it quite interesting. If the evolutionary process of plants is fast enough, other races can be quickly exterminated. Many plants are not particular about their growing environment, do not encounter fire, and have almost no natural enemies. The demon world is humid and rainy, so it is very difficult to start a fire. It has been many years since the demon clan moved in, and the climate should be much better now.
"Aren't there tens of thousands of piranha flowers there?" Ye Li recalled the rumors about the forbidden area in his memory and was confused.
The white one is the royal piranha. Of course, it was named by the demon cultivator. Piranhas of other colors cluster the white piranha in the middle. When something good is caught, the white one eats it first. Generally, the white piranha will not move unless it is in extreme danger, so it is called "the center of the flower". Pretty boy".
How did Sang Li break through the encirclement and find the white piranha seed in the center?
"There are a lot of them, probably more than tens of thousands. I have been cutting them for several days, and my knife has become sharpened. Their necks are so long that they spray venom everywhere. They are so ferocious." Sang Li still has lingering fears. I worked so hard to find the best body for the little princess.
"Where did you pick up his mask? Do you still have it?"
Si Qingyan asked a question that she had always been interested in.
"It should be left by the humans who lived in the past. There are many left there. If you want it, wait until my cultivation level improves before you go in and pick it up." Sang Li's attitude towards Si Qingyan was very good, like the spring sun, warm and warm He Wen, as soon as he saw Ye Li, he couldn't help but bully him.
"Let's go together then." Ye Li grabbed Si Qingyan's sleeve with a arrogant expression. Although his tone was commanding, he was very afraid that they would not play with him.
"Okay." Si Qingyan opened the bamboo curtain and looked outside. There were clouds and mist. The town was only the size of a palm, like exquisitely made small cakes, with different sizes and flavors.
Board the flying boat in the morning and arrive at Taiyi Palace in the evening.
The magnificent clouds are like flowing brocade, extremely colorful. Under the smoky purple sky, there is an endless tall building solemn and solemn. It has long white jade steps and several disciples in white with long swords guarding the entrance.
"Do you have a token of honor, fellow Taoist?" A disciple asked respectfully, cupping his fists and saluting.
Before he finished speaking, a ray of sword light fell, and the person who came was white-clothed and had black hair, clear eyebrows, and a warm smile.
"Master Nephew Xu, I'm here."
"Uncle Ye." The disciples at the door saluted collectively.
"This is my sworn brother... Sizhen... Mr. Sizhen." Ye Fufeng couldn't believe it when he discovered that Si Qingyan's cultivation level suddenly jumped to the Nascent Soul stage.
The golden elixir stage is called Zhenren, and the Nascent Soul stage is called Zhenjun.
"I've met Mr. Sizhen."
After bowing, all the disciples watched Ye Fufeng lead Si Qingyan and his party in, and continued to guard the door without squinting.
But I was secretly admiring in my heart.
Those three just looked so outstanding.
The one at the head was wearing a green Taoist robe, with a wide and plain style, which he wore with a clean and elegant style. His eyebrows were thin and slender, gradually disappearing into his temples. His phoenix eyes were long and narrow, hooked in and out. His divine light was superb and his charm was unparalleled. However, his expression is distant and cold, polite and unfeeling.
The second one has a flawless face, is indifferent and aloof, and looks very difficult to talk to. The third one is extremely handsome, with a cold and sharp temperament, and may be a fellow-minded person.
"Brother, Lord Priest."
Ye Fufeng looked at Sang Li again and felt familiar in his heart, but he couldn't pronounce his name.
"Ling Tian." Sang Li was a little eager to try, wanting to draw a sword and fight, but she restrained herself and said calmly:
"I'm here to become a disciple."
"Taiyi Palace accepts disciples once every ten years. There will be an entrance examination for disciples recently. I will send you there first." Ye Fufeng has a good impression of Sang Li.
It's probably like meeting someone of the same kind. It would also be great if there was a junior fellow student who was evenly matched with him.
"Thank you." Sang Li has always had a good impression of Taiyi Palace.
This sect has a profound foundation and a pure and upright family style, which is very suitable for enjoying your old age. As people get older, they want to be more comfortable and impatient to engage in intrigues. Anyone who wants to ruin her retirement life will be turned into a noodle.
