Chapter 40 Riding on a Crane

In the afternoon, the sun is warm and the time in Qihuang Valley is quiet.

Zuo Lingquan finished his task of transporting medicinal materials to the alchemy room, returned to the small courtyard under the waterfall, and continued to try to refine Qi in the house.

The room was neatly tidied. The sword and the talisman given by Jiang Yi were placed beside him, and there was a small wooden box next to the talisman.

The day before yesterday, I received a gift from Jiang Yi. Zuo Lingquan asked Wu Qingwan and found out that it was a 'Worry-free Talisman', which was extremely valuable. Jiang Yi only had a few of them, and she had been reluctant to use them since she was a child.

Because there is no true energy, the Wuyou Talisman can only be activated with white jade bahts. Jiang Yi also gave three white jade bahts as gifts. Zuo Lingquan naturally remembered such kindness in his heart. At the same time, he also felt that the rouge he sent along the way was a bit too casual.

You have to prepare something decent.

However, Zuo Lingquan's family has a lot of money, but it is impossible to be richer than Jiang Yi. Pearls and jade are too philistine. In terms of spiritual practice, he is poor and has nothing to offer.

Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a long time, and finally carved a pendant by himself. Although it was not very valuable, it could at least represent some of his feelings.

It was a quiet spring day outside the window, and Zuo Lingquan was sitting cross-legged seriously, when suddenly a chirping sound came from outside:

"Have you heard..."

"Really really..."

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused, so he walked out of the room and took a look, only to see the senior sisters gathered together in the bamboo forest and whispering.

"Why do you only want men? This is so unfair!"

"yes……"

Zuo Lingquan was about to ask when he saw a crane flying over from a distance. He thought it was a small crane raised in Qihuang Valley, but when it flew above the bamboo forest, the strong wind brought by its wings bent a piece of green bamboo.

Only then did he realize how big the crane was - its wings were spread nearly three feet, and when it stood upright on its two legs, it was probably taller than a house, and its neck was as big as a giraffe's.

Zuo Lingquan knew that there was an animal pen in the living room, which kept various rare and exotic animals, but he had never been there before. This was the first time he saw this big crane. However, he had also heard that this was the National Master Yue Pingyang.

's mount.

The white crane landed steadily in front of Zuo Lingquan's courtyard. It looked quite docile and stood quietly without making any other movements.

Zuo Lingquan was a little confused. It wasn't until a head popped out of Bai He's back that he realized there was someone on it.

Wu Qingwan was wearing a gorgeous cloud-white dress, which almost blended into one with Bai He. She sat sideways on Bai He's back, looked at Zuo Lingquan below, and hooked her hands:

"Ling Quan, come up here and come with me to Donghua City."

"Okay."

When Zuo Lingquan saw Wu Qingwan wearing the skirt he bought, he smiled and turned around to get his belongings. He walked quickly to the front, leaped high in the air, and was about to land on Bai He's back.

But what Zuo Lingquan never expected was that Bai He, who had been motionless just now, moved a step sideways with his long legs.

It's true that Zuo Lingquan's jumping ability was amazing, but he couldn't fly after all, and he had nowhere to use his strength when he soared into the air. He stepped on the air and fell down on the spot.

Wu Qingwan knew this would happen. She quickly leaned forward, grabbed Zuo Lingquan's shoulder with one hand, lifted him onto Bai He's back, and said a little funny:

"Why are you jumping? With such strength, Bai He will definitely hide."

"I was reckless."

Zuo Lingquan landed on Bai He's broad back. Before he could sit firmly, Bai He spread his wings, flapped his wings a few times and soared up to the high altitude of Qihuang Valley.

Zuo Lingquan once dreamed of flying for nine days one day, but he didn't expect this day to come so suddenly. He was not mentally prepared at all, and the down on Bai He's back was very smooth. There was no safety belt, so he subconsciously hugged the only thing next to him that he could hug.

, and looked carefully at the valley below.

Wu Qingwan was a little excited and completely forgot about Zuo Lingquan's first riding position. Suddenly she was hugged by the shoulders and fell into Zuo Lingquan's arms, and she remembered.

"oh……"

Although she was hugged, Wu Qingwan's mature and beautiful cheeks did not show any abnormality. She immediately came back to her senses, like a caring elder, moved Zuo Lingquan's arm away, and then held his back:

"It doesn't matter, it will catch you if you fall."

Zuo Lingquan noticed that the action just now was inappropriate. Seeing that Wu Qingwan understood, he smiled:

"The first time I sat on it, it was a bit scary."

As they were so close to each other, Zuo Lingquan glanced at Wu Qingwan's skirt - the white dress fit perfectly on Wu Qingwan, with no wrinkles on the whole body, and the original curves of the body were vividly outlined, with silver thread embellishments.

The cloud pattern adds a bit of a sense of being out of this world, especially now that I am sitting on the back of a white crane and walking in the wind, with three thousand blue hairs dancing in the wind. If there is a fairy in the world, she probably looks like this.

Wu Qingwan noticed Zuo Lingquan's eyes and did not shy away. She just smiled calmly:

"It fits very well. You have good taste."

"Senior Wu, as long as he is satisfied."

Zuo Lingquan didn't stop at his target. Instead, he placed it on the grassy field below and asked:

"Why are you so anxious to go to Donghua City all of a sudden? I see that the senior sisters are very excited. Is there anything good going on?"

"It's a good thing. In the morning, a letter came from Jingtai, saying that the Nine Southern Sects were recruiting disciples and gave us three places in the Great Dan Dynasty. This is an unprecedented good thing."

Zuo Lingquan was stunned for a moment. He had longed for spiritual practice since he was a child and was very interested in this. Then he turned his head back:

"Really? Everyone has a chance to fight for it?"

Speaking of this, Wu Qingwan's eyes also showed a bit of disappointment, and she shook her head:

"I originally thought that everyone could fight for it. I dreamed of going to Jiuzong. I have a relative who went there more than 20 years ago. Unfortunately, the person I want this time must be a man, under the age of thirty.

, the cultivation level is above the eighth level of Qi refining."

"ah?"

The joy on Zuo Lingquan's face suddenly dissipated: "Are there any gender and cultivation requirements?"

"Yeah, I don't understand why as long as you are a man, you men take advantage of everything in the secular world, but you still take advantage when it comes to spiritual practice. It is said that the yin and yang are balanced, but female cultivators hold up half of the sky?"

?

Zuo Lingquan could only show his hands at this: "I can't go even if I'm a man, it's the same."

Wu Qingwan pursed her lips and smiled: "You want to marry Jiang Yi, how can you run away? If you want to run away, you have to take Jiang Yi with you. You can't be a heartless person."

"That's natural. I just want to go to heaven for my practice. The kindness of parents in raising me is greater than that of heaven, and the care of my brothers and sisters is more important than the earth. How can I just abandon it openly and ignore it just because I say, 'The Supreme Being forgets his love'?"

Wu Qingwan thought the same way, but her teachers didn't teach her that way. She was afraid that a casual compliment would become an insurmountable knot in Zuo Lingquan's future practice. After hesitating for a long time, she still only showed a gentle smile as a sign.

respond.

The two of them rode cranes and crossed the beautiful mountains and rivers at their feet.

Zuo Lingquan looked at the earth from a bird's eye view, and in his heart he imagined the day when he would fly across the sky on his own, but as he thought about it, a faint scent of fragrance blew into his nostrils, bringing his thoughts back from thousands of miles away.

There is not much room behind the white crane, and Wu Qingwan is sitting in front, only a stone's throw away from Zuo Lingquan. As the white crane gallops, the breeze blows on his face, and the subtle orchid fragrance of Wu Qingwan's body naturally reaches the tip of Zuo Lingquan's nose.
