Chapter 324 Zuo Lingquan’s heart knot...

At dusk, the sun was still dusk, and before the sun had set to the sea level, the Thunder Cliff had already turned into a sea of ​​lights that stretched for nearly a hundred miles.

On the street, Zuo Lingquan wore a long robe and a sword hanging on his waist, just like a literati and elegant guest visiting the scenic spot, walking behind the girl with round faces, listening to all kinds of chatter along the way:

"...This is the Eight Immortals Zhai. The owner of the house is amazing. He is known as the Thunder Cliff Kitchen Immortal. The king crab made by the fairy who is not as good as the world's fireworks can secretly swallow his saliva..."

"...That storytelling hall is very famous. Qian Jilang inside is known as the number one in the East. The fairy family fighting in the moon in the water is basically explained to the audience, and many immortal ancestors praised him..."

Tang Jingyan was like a little woman following her husband and wife. She walked beside Zuo Lingquan with her eyes curiously looking around; Tuanzi felt desperately touching her belly, constantly hinting that birds were about to starve to death, can we order food first and then chat?

It is actually only more than twenty miles from the port to the core area of ​​the market, but in the Xianjia Market, it is difficult to show off the mountains and waters and use magical powers to rush through the road. The time you walk through the hike is not much faster than that of ordinary people.

It's okay, Xie Qiutao was very talkative and returned to his familiar territory. His words were so rumored that he basically told every big shop he saw on the road.

Zuo Lingquan and Tang Jingyan were naturally not in a hurry, and it was useless to worry about the dumplings, so they still walked over like this. When they arrived at the destination, it was already time for the lights to start.

The Duobaotan mentioned by Wu Laodao is extremely large on Qianyuan Street, occupying half a street. There is a row of shops outside and a large round building behind. From outside, you can see the formation ripples that appear from time to time above the round building. There is a golden plaque with the words "Duobaotan". Every word is like a dragon and a snake, and it is very grand.

There are many monks on the street outside Duobao Pond, half of them are pet owners who buy treasures from heaven and earth for spiritual beasts, and the other half are immortal fishermen.

The path of practice is not that everyone cuts off the world. Most monks maintain various worldly interests, such as playing chess, listening to music, fishing, gambling, etc., but the higher the level, the more you can control your desires.

On the way here, Zuo Lingquan heard Xie Qiutao briefly introduce Duobaotan. To put it bluntly, it is a "black pit" of immortals. He fishes with his skills and luck, and he is responsible for his own profits and losses. If he catches good things, he doesn't want to take them away. He can be converted into immortal money.

This type of local fairy market is not uncommon, but the scale of Thunder Cliff is too large, and the scale of Duobao Pond is far greater than that of other places. According to rumors, someone once caught a fairy beast cub and was caught by the wealthy Zixiao City on the top of the mountain, and was exchanged for a road to the heaven.

Zuo Lingquan didn't believe this rumor at all, because the opportunity to start with the word "Immortal" in the cultivation path, immortal weapons, immortal beasts, etc. are all treasures that are in the sect. When the ancestors offer it, even if there is a Duobao Pond, it will not be released for people to fish and play.

However, there are indeed many good things in Duobao Pond, such as the descendants of dragon sects such as the croaker and the pepper map, and occasionally one can be released. Therefore, there are many monks who come to Duobao Pond to try their luck. Of course, there are also many people who like fishing and seeking excitement, and come here to spend money like soil.

Zuo Lingquan and Xie Qiutao first bought more than a dozen boxes of dried Beihai silverfish in the shop on the street, as well as various spiritual beast rations that they had never seen before. They stopped until they were satisfied with the dumplings. Because they bought a lot of things, the shopkeeper also provided a ticket to Duobaotan, which was a way to attract customers.

Zuo Lingquan was about to go in and try it, so he naturally took it with pleasure and accompanied Xie Qiutao to choose three more fishing rods.

The immortal fishing rod is not a bamboo rod, it is quite expensive. The highest-grade one is the magic weapon fishing rod that is built by Guigu Gorge. It can catch a small kun whale and dragon in the hands of a monk on the top of the mountain. The price is also amazing. It is an immortal luxury product that normal monks will not touch.

Zuo Lingquan was not very interested in fishing, so he only picked three ordinary fishing rods at will, plus two tickets, and spent about 400 white jade beads in front and behind. The price was not cheap. If you didn’t catch decent fish, shrimp, turtles, and crabs, it would be like a wastewater. If you catch it, it would not be necessary to make a profit, because it is difficult for animals with too low grades to take action, and Duobaotan will not discount the market price.

Duobaotan opens the pond every afternoon, and lasts until the early morning of the next day. When Zuo Lingquan enters, the pond has been opened for a while.

Xie Qiutao walked into the door with a green fishing rod and said in pain:

"I knew it would be almost here. If I had known it would take less time, I might lose a fairy beast cub if I could round it up..."

Tuanzi squatted in Tang Jingying's arms, holding the snack box and chewing it. He heard the sound and said, "Jiji!", "You are so embarrassed to say it? You're all nonsense, and you almost starved to death..."

Zuo Lingquan entered the central area with the crowd. It can be seen that it was a giant round building with a radius of nearly a hundred feet, divided into three floors. It was a bottomless black deep pool, with white mist condensed from spiritual energy floating.

There are many monks around the edge of the black pool, most of whom are sitting on the cushion, with tea tables and chessboards next to them, and some are sitting directly on the open space. The second and third floors of the round building are all private rooms, with fishing platforms, and you can see many fishing rods poking out, the longest one is dozens of feet, reaching the center of the pool, which is quite lively, and you can hear the chats of monks everywhere:

"...I heard that someone caught an iron-backed turtle before. It was too heavy and couldn't be pulled up. I was so angry that I vomited blood on the spot..."

"Who is so unlucky..."

...

Zuo Lingquan just came in and took a look. He did not waste money to get the private room upstairs. He walked around the edge of the black pool, found a place that no one cared about, and sat down next to the tea case.

Xie Qiutao grew up by the beach and studied fishing a little. After looking around, hesitated:

"I'm afraid this place won't work? No one is sitting there, so it's definitely not a good pitfall."

Tang Jingyan sat down next to Zuo Lingquan and said softly: "There are not necessarily good things in a good place. It's good to be quiet here, and I'm fighting with those people."

Xie Qiutao thought about it, so he sat down on the other side of the tea case and started preparing skillfully.

Zuo Lingquan has been practicing sword since childhood, so he has no leisure to fish. He is not very familiar with it. When he was looking at Xie Qiutao, he suddenly heard a sound from the pond:

Crazy-

In a blink of an eye, I saw a famous sword guard wearing martial arts uniforms throwing white jade beads into the cold pond. The number was quite large, but in just a moment, hundreds were thrown down and continued.

Tang Jingwen looked surprised: "Is this a bait? Is it so much money that I'm so busy."

The monks around seemed to be commonplace with this scene, and several casual cultivators spoke happily:

"Sure enough, Han Jianxian is here. If he spends a lot of money to attract fish, we will probably benefit a lot tonight..."

"Which family is this immortal? It's so big..."

"The nephew of an immortal on the mountain in the north was given the title of "Han Qianjin". He has always been heroic. The shop in Thunder Cliff is happier than seeing him..."

...

Zuo Lingquan listened to the messy talk but couldn't hear the result, but he roughly judged the background of the person who gave the coins from the title.

In the path of cultivation, there is no special requirement for honorary titles, and they can be called immortals. However, if you respect them very much, there will be differences in the titles. To sum up, those who enter the secluded bamboos are immortals, so those who go into the secluded bamboos are called immortals. The jade steps are stronger than those of secluded bamboos, so they are called immortals. There are immortals. There are immortals who go up. However, the title cannot be afforded and is not commonly used.

Judging from the casual cultivator's idle negotiations, this Han Jianxian is probably the nephew of a certain jade-level ancestor. Of course, it is not ruled out that the casual cultivator does not know the Taoist practice and tries to shout as much as possible.

Zuo Lingquan's half-step jade staircase is actually worthy of the title of Immortal Lord. He didn't care about these chats and looked at the pool:

"We want to make a nest, too?"

"yes."

Xie Qiutao took out a box of dried fish:

"But it's too luxurious to use immortal money to make a nest. Just use dried fish, and I'll buy a lot anyway."

"grumble?!"

Tuanzi was stunned and hurriedly entered Tang Jingyan's arms, trying to protect Linglong Pavilion so that all Taotao, who was not a human, would be fed to the fish.

The three of them talked for a few words. Before they could throw the rod into the pond, the maid from Duobaotan came over with tea bowls and melon seeds and snacks, and knelt down beside the tea case:

"This is a tea and snack from the owner. Please use it slowly, three guests."

As he said that, he poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them.

Zuo Lingquan has a casual personality and never treats the servants as he is now, and uses his hands to support the tea cup.

At first he did not pay attention to the appearance of the maid, but when the maid got up and walked back to the round building, he suddenly found...

I found that the maid had a very good figure, with narrow shoulders and round buttocks...

After a few glances, Tang Jingwen, who was sitting next to him, looked sore and pinched Zuo Lingquan's waist:

"Sir, what are you looking at?"

"hiss--"

Zuo Lingquan quickly turned around, not knowing why he was hooked by a maid's waist and hips, and said seriously:

"Nothing, just take a look."

"The maid's butt is quite round. I guess she can pinch it with her hands and get water..."

"Oh~ I'm away from home, I have many people and eyes, so don't talk about these."

"You dare to see it, but you are not allowed to say it? Is it Qiutao?"

Xie Qiutao held the fishing rod and laughed, just pretending that he didn't hear anything.

Zuo Lingquan looked helpless and picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip to relieve the embarrassment.

But as soon as he put the teacup to his mouth, Zuo Lingquan was stunned again. Looking at the abundant spiritual tea and the crystal clear tea leaves, he unexpectedly said:

"Duobaotan is quite big, and this tea is not very cheap at first glance."

Xie Qiutao picked up his teacup and took a sip:

"Well... the rain flower tips of Ziluo Peak, ten white jade zhu a pot, it's okay."

Ten white jade zhu?

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused. Judging from the color and quality of the tea, he believed it was ten gold threads per pot.

Zuo Lingquan didn't study the tea ceremony deeply and didn't care much about it. After confirming that there was no problem, he sipped it.

It's bitter in the mouth, and there is no special taste.

When Zuo Lingquan's tea was in his mouth, he felt a little disappointed, feeling that he was far inferior to the fairy tea of ​​a rich woman's baby.

But while feeling the slightly bitter taste of the tea, Zuo Lingquan didn't know how to recall the unwillingness and despair when he learned that he could not practice.

He had already resisted the bitterness and suffering, and it was swept away in a flash, but the face of the ancestor Shangguan immediately appeared in his mind, and a trace of entanglement flashed through his heart.

Entangled with the idea that comes from deep in his heart - what if he likes the ancestor one day, and the ancestor is tough and stubborn, he just doesn't agree?

I never dared to think about this question before, but Zuo Lingquan knew the answer - my mother said that if you don’t like me, just fight for it, and you can still expect your daughter’s family to fail.

Therefore, Zuo Lingquan quickly swept away this inexplicable idea.

Next, Zuo Lingquan remembered that he had touched the chest of the Peach Blossom Lord. It was big and soft, and he took advantage of it. However, the Peach Blossom Lord did not let him take responsibility. He felt in his heart that he wanted to take responsibility, but he felt ashamed.

The solution to this problem is not much different from that of the Shangguan ancestor.

As for the others, since Zuo Lingquan's practice, he has focused his goals to the extreme, and he has nothing to do to the top of the mountain to gain the strength to protect the people around him. He has no guilt in his life, nor has he given up on himself and self-doubt, and where can he come from other knots of heart.

Zuo Lingquan picked up the teacup and drank it all in a daze. When he put it down, there was no distraction in his heart and began to reminisce about the taste of tea. As a result...

That's it?
To be continued...
