Chapter 158: Before the Flowers Under the Moon(2/2)
Zuo Lingquan definitely doesn't think so, but in the secular world, it's not just about walking around the streets, he whispered:
"For me, the path of cultivation is more powerful and longevity than the secular world. Putting aside these, there are not many places that are better than the secular world. For example, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
"The masters of immortals can also study these, and they have hundreds of years of precipitation and polishing, and their attainments are far beyond those of ordinary people."
Zuo Lingquan waved his hand: "Article is natural, and I can get it by myself by myself. It's not something I can figure it out after a long time of research. Most people can only develop a craftsmanship after studying it for a lifetime."
Shangguan Lingye supported the small table with his arm diagonally, and sat slightly lazy, gently shaking the wine in the white jade cup:
"I don't think so. For example, this glass of wine can't be brewed by ordinary people for a lifetime. They don't have so much time to settle."
After Zuo Lingquan took two glasses of wine, he felt a little overwhelmed. He put one hand on his knee and sighed:
"Then let me give you an example. I have heard a poem before, 'Hometown is three thousand miles long, 20 years deep in the palace; a sound of He Manzi, tears fall in front of you', which describes the miserable situation of the palace maid leaving home for 3,000 miles away and being locked in the palace for 20 years. Is the queen who has been in the palace for more than three thousand miles away? She has been in the palace for eighty years and has been four times longer than the palace maid in the poem. Can you write such a poem?"
Shangguan Lingye frowned slightly: "I am not good at poetry. Besides, I am a concubine, not a palace maid. Even if I am not a practitioner, I will still live a luxurious life and enjoy the wealth of the world. How could I cry?"
Zuo Lingquan thought about it, so he changed his words:
"Then let's talk about dancing. The fairies on the mountain are so skilled and can't study dancing and performing in front of others. The dances they dance must be as good as the world's singing and dancing..."
Shangguan Lingye shook his head: "Who said that the fairy at the foot of the mountain can't dance? There are many female cultivators outside. In order to earn money from the gods, they dance in their own practice residences, and use the moon in the water to pass it to monks from all over Yuyaozhou to see it. It is considered to be a show of art. The level is no less than that of the singers in the world, and they can fly and dance, which is impossible for mortals to compare."
Zuo Lingquan's eyes were unexpected: "All this is OK?"
Shangguan Lingye snorted softly: "There is no wonder in practicing. Some female cultivators can take off their clothes and dance for the sake of the gods' money, and they can be more relaxed than the courtesans in the world."
?!
Zuo Lingquan supported his elbow on the small table and got closer:
"There are also things like this that cannot be reached by the way of practice? I'm afraid I need to criticize it carefully..."
Shangguan Lingye also approached a little, squinted his eyes:
"You want to see?"
Both of them rely on small cases, and the two were less than two feet apart.
Shangguan Lingye drank a few drinks, his eyes were still clear, but there was a little more redness on his cheeks that she had never noticed, and under the bright moonlight, he showed a charming beauty like a "drunk concubine".
The beauty is like mellow wine, and her soft cheeks are close at hand. Zuo Lingquan's eyes stayed for a moment, and his thoughts that were floating immediately returned, and he shook his head and said:
"I don't want to, it's just an accident."
He sat upright, looked at the lights in the distance, and said righteously:
"However, practice is not easy, and it is understandable that such things are better than killing people for the sake of immortality and setting fire to harm the people."
Shangguan Lingye noticed the pause of Zuo Lingquan's gaze, turned his head and snorted lightly:
"Why pretend to behave? I have lived in my 100 years old. You are a teenager, you have seen too many little kids. You can't walk when you see a beautiful woman, and you're thinking about the little things between men and women..."
"Senior, what you said is wrong. Do I look lustful?"
"Um."
Shangguan Lingye nodded seriously: "I can't find any other faults except lustfulness."
Zuo Lingquan spread his hands and said, "Where am I lustful? Senior, you can't insult others in vain."
Shangguan Lingye picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and his eyes signaled to the courtyard outside the palace wall:
"You have four women hidden in your house. Even if you are not your teacher and maid, there are two women who have an ambiguous relationship with you..."
"It's only two..."
“…”
Shangguan Lingye sat upright a little, frowned and looked at Zuo Lingquan.
Zuo Lingquan felt that his words were a little wrong and coughed lightly:
"Well... I mean, I came from a wealthy family in the secular world, and it was normal to marry more than a dozen wives, and two were not too many. And this cannot be described as lustful. It was because of the accumulated feelings that I would be together..."
"You are only moved by the way you like someone else's color."
"What about that? Everyone has a love for beauty. Isn't it natural to see a beautiful girl moved?"
"Look, you admit it yourself."
"What I admit is that I love beauty, not lust, these two are not the same thing. Color is the skin, and inner beauty is also beauty..."
“It’s hard to admit that you’re lustful?”
"Well... no, this is a matter of principle..."
"snort……"
...
The silver moon is lingering in the sky.
At the top of the towering palace, the chattering continued for a long time until the east lighted up.
Shangguan Lingye was able to chat with Zuo Lingquan because the ancestor was interested in Zuo Lingquan. She wanted to discover her own shortcomings through in-depth contact.
However, as she chatted, she forgot her original intention. She had been talking nonsense for half a night. When she came to her senses, she realized that it was dawn.
When the first ray of morning light was sprinkled on the bright yellow glazed tiles, Shangguan Lingye stopped talking, looked at Zuo Lingquan who was a little dizzy beside him, raised his hand and waved it lightly, dispelled the wine on his body, and said:
"It's dawn, the ferry is parked at the Chemasi behind the side hall. You can go and pick it up by yourself."
Zuo Lingquan was not drunk at first, but was a little dizzy. As the alcohol dispelled, he completely recovered as before. After chatting for the middle of the night, he was talking nonsense, and after careful recollection, he seemed to have nothing to talk about.
But this is the case with drinking and chatting. As long as you are happy, it is enough to think about every word and every sentence, it will be boring.
Zuo Lingquan stood up and bowed to say goodbye:
"Then I'll leave first. I'll talk abruptly. Please forgive me for your words."
"Go early and come back early."
Zuo Lingquan nodded with a smile, turned around and jumped off the eaves, but Shangguan Lingye behind him added:
"Let Jiang Yi come to the palace. If you go to Zhuyan City, she won't be able to help you, and you can help her practice faster in the palace."
Zuo Lingquan only dared to take Jiang Yi with him when the difficulty of his job was low. The future of his trip was uncertain. How dare he take Jiang Yi with him? He nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll go and say something to her."
After the words finished, he jumped down and ran far above the pavilions and towers in the blink of an eye.
Shangguan Lingye sat alone on the roof with an empty wine jar beside him. After watching the figure gradually fade away, he turned his head to look at the small desk. He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't know what he was thinking about...

Thank you for the reward from the second leader of the [NingNingNing] boss!
I've been writing very slowly these days.
