Qingquan Village.
At this moment, restaurants and teahouses everywhere are very lively, and there is a constant flow of people talking and talking.
Immediately, the commotion gathered more and more, as if it was contagious, and finally boiled over.
Faintly, words such as 'immortal comes to the mountain', 'immortal', 'immortal couple' can be heard, making people passing by unconsciously stop and listen.
"Have you heard? The immortal disciples of Xianlin Mountain have climbed to the top of the mountain again!"
As soon as the news came out, the situation exploded.
"who?!"
"I don't know, I just know that they are a young man and woman." A casual cultivator in the teahouse said, "You can tell at a glance that they are a couple of gods and immortals. The woman is handsome and the man is also delicate."
other people:? ? ?
Why does it sound so awkward?
But no one cared too much.
A local man was full of respect and said: "The immortals in Xianlin Mountain are the blessing of our Qingquan Village! If it were not for the blessings of the immortals, how could we be where we are today. The prosperity of Qingquan Village can be said to be getting richer from generation to generation. We can Settling down safely in Qingquan Village and enjoying such a prosperous life are all given by the Immortal of Xianlin Mountain!"
"Yeah yeah!"
The villagers of Qingquan Village all agreed with great admiration.
For ordinary people like them, Qingquan Village is the best destination for them. Because of the opportunity of Xianlin Mountain, many younger generations can obtain the path to immortality, which makes the villagers grateful to the immortals of Xianlin Mountain.
Someone immediately slapped the table and stood up, making up his mind: "If you go to Xianlin Mountain now, you may have the opportunity to see the immortal faces of the immortal disciples and admire their grace!"
Jiang Yunyi and Lu Ningshuang were so young that people would inevitably mistake them for disciples, and the news that they had reached the top was spread from one person to another.
It spread to a hundred miles in an instant, and after learning the news, both practitioners and ordinary people were shocked, especially the Snow Sword Sect.
These sects are not as good as the Immortal Sect Holy Land, but they are still super giants in the secular world.
At this moment, the Snow Sword Sect.
"Are you sure this is true?" the leader of the Snow Sword Sect asked in a cold voice with a sullen face, staring at the kneeling disciple below.
The man in green knelt down on one knee, cupped his fist and said, "Master Qi, those two people who have extraordinary temperament but are ordinary are obviously hiding something, but..."
He swallowed his saliva and continued: "But under our ignorant offense, the aura that burst out was beyond the reach of even the genius of the Immortal Sect. Such a person may really be a disciple of the Immortal of Xianlin Mountain."
Snapped!
The leader slapped the table angrily, stood up suddenly, and cursed: "Confused! You just went down the mountain privately to make nonsense, how can you offend the immortal disciples!?"
The man in green lowered his head and did not dare to defend himself. The other disciples were also silent and did not dare to speak.
The little girl beside the leader also lowered her head, full of grievances.
The leader was so angry that he glared at the disciples below with hatred, but in his eyes, there was already an unknown fear and fear towards Lu Ningshuang and Jiang Yunyi.
"Master! Something bad has happened!"
At this moment, a disciple came hurriedly outside the hall, with a face full of fear, and said: "Master, there are disciples from the Immortal Sect coming outside the door, with extraordinary status, saying that we are hiding taxes!"
At that moment, the hall fell into a brief silence, and then the expressions of many senior officials of the Snow Sword Sect suddenly changed, and they all looked at the leader standing at the head.
The head's expression changed slightly: "Which immortal sect is it?"
The disciple replied: "Yes! It is Tianling Holy Land, the leader of the Immortal Sect today!"
In an instant, the leader's face was ashen, his legs were weak and he fell on the chair, holding his forehead and smiling bitterly: "What is supposed to come will always come..."
Mortal sects are not established just because they want to. They also need to be affiliated with other immortal sects and pay taxes to form rules to avoid disrupting order.
Since two years ago, the Snow Sword Sect discovered two spiritual mines and privately claimed them for themselves. This made the sect more and more prosperous and became a giant nearby.
However, sooner or later this matter cannot be concealed, and sooner or later the attached Immortal Sect will discover it.
The reason why the Snow Sword Sect is not touched is because their affiliated Immortal Sect also needs to pay taxes to the Tianling Holy Land, and the Snow Sword Sect is willing to privately pay tribute several times the spiritual stone to the affiliated Immortal Sect, thereby avoiding the extra taxes collected by the Tianling Holy Land. .
That's why I turned a blind eye to them.
This is a sure-profit deal, but who would have thought that Tianling Holy Land would go to war and commit suicide himself!
This is the Holy Land of Tianling. It has thousands of genius disciples and a cloud of masters. Any one who comes out is enough to crush countless geniuses of the same generation.
Suppressing all directions and sweeping away the heroes, you can't afford to provoke them at all.
The penalty for tax evasion is not too severe for a small sect for the first time. It is a tax ten times that of tax evasion, but it is also a fatal wound.
The Snow Sword Sect has hid taxes for two years and now has to pay ten times the tax. It will take at least decades to recover.
If you do it again, you will be banned!
.......
The clouds and mist are flowing on the mountainside, and the mountain wind is stirring.
In the mist, Jiang Yunyi went to the cliff to find out what was going on. At the top, there was no rush of wild mountain wind, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful.
The red sun is approaching when you raise your head, and the white clouds are low when you look back.
The white clouds are like the sea, thousands of trees bow their heads and form waves, and standing on the top of the mountain, you can't see the scene of the lake at the bottom of the mountain.
"Husband, this is the top of Xianlin Mountain." Lu Ningshuang's voice floated leisurely behind him.
Jiang Yunyi looked back after hearing the sound. There was a cold pond on the top of Xianlin Mountain. It was a faint blue color and contained extremely strong spiritual energy. He could still feel the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth even from a little distance away. It was unbearable. Want to soak in it.
The snow falling in the mountains is caused by the wonderful charm of this pool.
Lu Ningshuang stood by the cold pool, intertwined with the aura of the cold pool, reflecting a pair of clear eyes, and her body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. The closer she got, the more mysterious she became, making people involuntarily want to get close to her and explore and understand her.
Jiang Yunyi looked at her with a slightly resentful look: "I guessed it would be you."
He guessed from the cold Taoist charm that Lu Ningshuang exuded before, as well as the fact that Xianlin Mountain is always like winter, and Lu Ningshuang said that the immortal of this mountain has a lot to do with him. Jiang Yunyi probably thought it would be her, but he couldn't confirm it.
It wasn't until Lu Ningshuang took him up the mountain easily without any pressure that Jiang Yunyi finally came to a conclusion.
"It's me, husband, are you disappointed?"
Lu Ningshuang walked forward with light steps. She was obviously wearing a heroic black brocade robe, but amid the fairy mist and the psychedelic light, in Jiang Yunyi's eyes, she seemed as elegant as wearing a flowing dress.
Never tire of it.
With this thought, Jiang Yunyi suddenly felt a little panicked, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "I can't say I'm disappointed, it just feels... wonderful."
"What do you mean by your husband, is there a fairy-like lady who feels wonderful?" Lu Ningshuang came to his side, squinted and said lightly: "After all, my strength, husband will always be in my hands, you can't hide, you can't escape. If you lose me, no one in the world can help your husband, only me."
These words were overbearing and straightforward, making Jiang Yunyi a little unconvinced and helpless, but he still crossed his arms, raised his head and said provocatively: "We'll see."
Lu Ningshuang took his hand and said, "Well, I will take my husband to walk and see the scenery on the top of the mountain."
Jiang Yunyi: "......"
The top of Xianlin Mountain is not small.
Wild grass grows in the cracks between the stones, the blue waves of the cold pool are clear, and the water is clear and translucent. Not far away is a pavilion, which is simple and elegant, like an ancient residence.
It is quite ingenious and is particularly eye-catching among the top of the mountain.
Jiang Yunyi felt like he was walking among the clouds, in a fairyland.
"I discovered this place accidentally when I went to the East China Sea. This cold pool is formed by morning dew and absorbs the essence and soul of the sun and moon to nourish it. It is also a good place for cultivation."
As Lu Ningshuang walked, she pointed at the attic and continued to explain: "So I built a attic that can be used for temporary retreat. After cultivating here and making a breakthrough, I can go to the East China Sea Dragon Palace to lend the real dragons to the Dragon Clan, which may give me more confidence."
Lu Ningshuang lowered her eyes, looked at Jiang Yunyi and said, "If your husband likes it, I can build another mansion on Xianlin Mountain for your use."
"No, we are on our way to the East China Sea, and we are not just visiting. Besides, why waste time building it?"
"Used to sleep with my husband."
"?"
Jiang Yunyi gave her a strange look, feeling that she meant something like that, but not feeling like it at the same time. Finally, he put aside his thoughts and simply changed the subject and asked: "By the way, is that tiger similar to a mountain spirit?"
"No, it's my formation spirit."
"Can your formation become a spirit!?"
"Can."
Hearing this, Jiang Yunyi asked curiously: "After retreat, Lu Ningshuang, you... have become an immortal?"
If Lu Ningshuang really reached the point where he couldn't catch up, wouldn't his words of 'we'll see' just now become a joke?
Lu Ningshuang replied leisurely: "I have no reason to pursue becoming an immortal."
She said it very casually, as if she was stating the simplest thing, without even pausing. It was obvious that becoming an immortal was not worth mentioning in Lu Ningshuang's eyes.
"How can there be no reason to pursue it? Countless people want to obtain the immortal path and practice Taoism, not just to be able to ascend and live forever?" Jiang Yunyi said matter-of-factly, after all, who can refuse the temptation of immortality.
Lu Ningshuang asked: "Why did my husband first let me worship at Qingzhu Peak together?"
"To have food and clothing."
"Well, I initially wanted to follow my husband. At that time, there was no one I cared about except my husband."
Lu Ningshuang responded softly, then her eyes fell on Jiang Yunyi, and she said softly: "It's the same now. I don't pursue becoming an immortal, I only pursue my husband."
"..."
Jiang Yunyi tilted his head and remained silent. Although his tone was calm, his sweet words made his heart tremble slightly.
He had never heard Lu Ningshuang say these words before, and he had never enjoyed them. It was not until she woke up five hundred years after her death that she was able to change.
Although Jiang Yunyi is slowly adapting.
But... whenever Jiang Yunyi heard her teasing, she still didn't know how to react to Lu Ningshuang, so she could only pretend to be dumbfounded and pretend not to understand.
Watch as you walk.
Jiang Yunyi discovered that there were many elixirs growing here, and she immediately thought about it and asked her: "Lu Ningshuang, are the elixirs here ownerless? Or do they all belong to you?"
Lu Ningshuang raised their intertwined hands, and there was a warm light in her black eyes: "What belongs to me is already in my hand, and the others are not."
Jiang Yunyi ignored it automatically and happily went to pick those unowned elixirs. The most special one was the 'Ice Soul Cold Lotus'. When this flower blooms, it is surrounded by extreme frost, and the frost does not disperse.
"I'm afraid this could fetch a lot of money." Jiang Yunyi muttered.
He doesn't need extremely cold things to practice now, and Lu Ningshuang doesn't need them either. Instead of leaving them in the ring to eat ashes, he might as well sell them for money after going down the mountain.
After hearing this, Lu Ningshuang glanced at the 'Ice Soul Cold Lotus'.
Regardless of the function, the appearance alone is extraordinary.
Growing in an extremely cold place, it represents the flower of life, and she knows very well what its pure white petals like snow lotus symbolize.
Symbolizing the purity of love, Lu Ningshuang didn't quite understand it, but she knew it was the most basic relationship between husband and wife, so she allowed Jiang Yunyi to take away the Bingso Hanlian, but...
Even though she knew that Jiang Yunyi was selling it instead of giving it to others, Lu Ningshuang still frowned inconspicuously.
Suddenly, she waved her hand, and spiritual energy surged out and enveloped the entire Ice Soul Cold Lotus.
In an instant, the Ice Soul Cold Lotus melted in Jiang Yunyi's hand and turned into a cold liquid floating in the void. Lu Ningshuang just flicked out the jade fingers of her other hand, and the cold liquid instantly flew into Jiang Yunyi's body.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Yunyi was shocked when he felt the 'Ice Soul Cold Lotus' turn into liquid and merge into his body.
How come it suddenly suits me?
His Green Bamboo Sword Intention only cultivates the natural four seasons. Although it includes the winter season, the Yin Qi of the 'Ice Soul Cold Lotus' is too strong, which will cause the Sword Intent to become unbalanced!
Not to mention the Haoran Yang Qi, the two were incompatible, but when the cold liquid blended into his body, there was no rejection at all, and he even felt warm and comfortable.
Jiang Yunyi was confused, but Lu Ningshuang said calmly: "It's useful, but you're not allowed to sell it."
After saying that, he took him into the pavilion to rest after he was tired from the stroll. However, Jiang Yunyi still looked distressed, obviously still thinking about the used 'Bing Soul Cold Lotus'.
Lu Ningshuang made the tea herself, then raised her eyes, and her voice was neither cold nor cold, but ethereal and gentle: "Husband, please taste it."
Since everything was used, Jiang Yunyi felt distressed and had no choice but to calm down, pick up the tea cup and savor it with her.
This is a kind of refreshing fragrance. The tea soup is amber in color. The tea water is clear and contains endless breath of life. It makes his whole body feel comfortable, as if he is soaking in warm spring water.
This is the place where Lu Ningshuang once retreated. Jiang Yunyi found the elixir and thought there would be no other chance. Lu Ningshuang looked at him and suddenly asked: "Husband, do you want to soak in the cold pool?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yunyi remembered that she had once said that the cold pool was an excellent fairy pool for nourishing the Dantian and cultivating spiritual roots, so his eyes quickly moved to the cold pool, feeling as if it was frozen, and the pool was level. Slippery as a mirror.
Speaking of which, when Jiang Yunyi saw Hantan for the first time, he was unexpectedly moved. Perhaps it was his body's instinctive longing for the cold air.
Although this cold pool did not have much impact on his spiritual roots, after all, he was already extremely beautiful. Otherwise, how could the master make an exception and accept Lu Ningshuang as his disciple, but...he had come.
Without thinking much, Jiang Yunyi coughed lightly and said reluctantly: "It's a rare trip, so of course it's mainly about cultivation."
It means he wants to soak.
Then I saw Lu Ningshuang raising her hand and waving, and in an instant the entire top of Xianlin Mountain was shrouded in hazy clouds.
"This is the formation I have set up. No one can climb to the top of the mountain. It can also isolate the heavenly secrets and shield the soul's induction. No one can pry into this place."
"Then...well, thank you, madam."
"No thanks, let's go together."
"Eh?"
Lu Ningshuang reiterated: "Together."
Jiang Yunyi: "......"
Seeing his silence, Lu Ningshuang didn't feel too embarrassed. She took a sip of tea and quickly changed her words: "Since your husband doesn't want to, I can just wait for you here."
Just when Jiang Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly looked in the direction of Hantan and found that there were indeed magic circles arranged around him, but Jiang Yunyi and Lu Ningshuang themselves were on the top of the mountain.
And that magic circle only targets the outside world, so...
Jiang Yunyi was silent.
How do you feel that you have fallen into a trap?
