Chapter 78.
A few boys and girls were sitting on a small bridge over a stream of water. Lotus flowers were blooming in the pond. Occasionally, a few spiritual butterflies stood on the flower stamens, their wings fluttering gracefully. Suddenly, a loud laugh disturbed their calmness and frightened them. After escaping from the lotus, they no longer indulge in the beauty here.
The girl who laughed had a round face and a pair of dimples when she smiled. She fell on the shoulders of the junior sister next to her, pointed at the junior brother opposite who was making a fool of himself: "Little junior sister, look at his technique quickly, he has directly got himself entangled, he is so stupid so stupid."
The little junior sister Ling Xuexue mentioned was cute, with black hair and snowy skin. She sat there quietly, complementing the lotus behind her. People couldn't help but imagine that this is how the lotus transformed into a human form.
Tangli walked with a silver bell in her hair. The sound was not loud, crisp and clear, like tiny raindrops hitting jade pieces, and it did not disturb people's leisure at all.
She was pushed by Ling Xuexue, causing her body to sway, and even her steps were swaying delicately. Tangli smiled and said, "Senior sister, have you forgotten that I am still injured?"
Ling Xuexue's cat eyes widened, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand from patting Tangli's thigh. She was used to being careless, and she only focused on having fun and forgot about business.
She straightened Tangli upright and saw Tangli's dark eyebrows frowning in discomfort. Ling Xuexue pursed her lips guiltily, "Little junior sister, I'm sorry."
Tangli waved her hand and moved to the side. Moon-white embroidered shoes were exposed under her skirt, decorated with pearls produced by century-old white clams. Looking at everything about her body, you knew that Tangli's family was not poor. An extremely favored disciple of Tianxuan Sect.
"It's okay."
Wang Pingzhi, who had put away his spells, sat on the stone bench angrily. He had just made a big joke, which really made him unable to raise his head.
Wang Pingzhi thought: Although the two women sitting across from him were two women, he could not underestimate them. Ling Xuexue was the daughter of an elder, and her spiritual roots were both water and wood. She was considered a very talented person. He must not offend her. And the person next to her...
He couldn't help but look up at Tang Li. The look of regret in his eyes was so clear that it would be difficult for Tang Li to ignore it even if she wanted to.
So Tang Li turned to look at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Senior Brother Wang, are you looking at me with pity?"
Look at whatever you are looking at, and if you look again I will gouge out your eyes!
Wang Pingzhi was stunned. He had an indecisive temperament and didn't like to offend people. Most of what he said was ambiguous. He would not get any complaints from anyone. He walked around everyone, so he was very popular. After entering the monastic life, he made many friends and won the favor of many female cultivators because of his good looks.
So he rarely meets people who don't show mercy to him.
Today, he met Tangli, a tough person.
Like a gentleman, he raised his lips and smiled, "Little junior sister, you are too worried. As a senior brother, it is too late to love you. This is not pity, but pity for you."
When Ling Xuexue heard Wang Pingzhi's words, the alarm bell rang, and she blinked at him desperately. If she wasn't worried that her sword energy would hurt someone, she really wanted to take up the big sword and slap Wang Pingzhi away.
Although the little junior sister used to be cute and lively, it seemed that no minor sorrow would remain in her heart. But that was in the past, but now that the little junior sister's spiritual roots have been destroyed, there is no other way but to rebuild the spiritual roots. However, no one has been able to do it for thousands of years, so there is no possibility for the little junior sister to cultivate as an immortal.
When she woke up from serious injuries, the little junior sister said to her master: "Master, the destruction of my spiritual roots is a disaster for me. I am willing to swallow it and accept this disaster. I will not give up my life because of this, and I hope that master can rest assured, but the disciple only want to ask for one thing, I don't want my fellow disciples to pity me, it's not easy to save a life, so why should I belittle myself?"
Since then, everyone has continued to treat the junior sister as usual, never treating her as a poor creature or showing her any kind of pity.
Ling Xuexue's expression in her eyes seemed not to be noticed by Wang Pingzhi.
Why does Wang Pingzhi feel sorry for Tangli?
It starts with a secret realm trial half a year ago. At that time, all qualified disciples of Tianxuan Sect entered the secret realm. There were rare treasures, rare spiritual beasts and handed down swords, but there were many dangers, which can be said to be both a blessing and a curse.
After Tangli entered the secret realm, she fell into a cave of the fallen Dana, accompanied by other sect members. Just when she was about to obtain the secret treasure, she suddenly fell unexpectedly, and a powerful spiritual consciousness dragged down Tangli and the others. In the end, she and Senior sister Pei Qingjun was left behind by divine consciousness, and the rest of her sect members were all thrown out by divine consciousness. When people from Tianxuan Sect saw Tang Li and Pei Qingjun again, one was unconscious and the other had broken her spiritual sword and her cultivation level had plummeted.
This secret trial also completely changed the fate of those two people.
Wang Pingzhi was very lucky, and returned to Tianxuan Sect to practice in seclusion. Although he was defeated by Ling Xuexue after coming out of seclusion, he had already surpassed many people. You must know that he was the least qualified of the Five Spiritual Roots. He could become a disciple of Tianxuan Sect. By chance, he saved a woman in the mortal world, and it happened to be a trial. Fortunately, he was chosen to become a disciple.
This is the hero of this different world, the upgraded hero Wang Pingzhi.
Tang Li stared at Wang Pingzhi. As the lowest-ranking and closed disciple, she had just entered Tianxuan Sect for only five years. This short period of time might be a small retreat for a cultivator, so Tang Li had some opinions about Tianxuan Sect. Person has never been seen before. However, she had already heard of Wang Pingzhi's name. If he had poor qualifications but was a good person, or if he had any difficulties, he could always be consulted. This kind of personality also gave him an affectionate heart, and he was able to attract peach blossoms everywhere.
Tangli smiled even brighter when she thought that she was one of Wang Pingzhi's admirers.
The character design of this different world is extremely exciting, and the buffs are full!
Good-for-nothing, arrogant, dog-licking, vicious, jealous, all kinds of labels belong to Tangli only.
After reading all the plot, Tang Li couldn't help but curse.
How can countless beauties be attracted by this kind of hero? However, Wang Pingzhi's favorite was Pei Qingjun. This Pei Qingjun, who went from being admired by thousands of people to being despised by everyone, had a rough fate, which made Wang Pingzhi very fond of her. In his heart, Pei Qingjun was still the bright and aloof senior sister.
But the beautiful and powerful Pei Qingjun died in the hands of Wang Pingzhi, because this woman would endanger the people and disrupt the Three Realms a hundred years later.
Wang Pingzhi eventually lost his true love. His actions of leaving his small home for everyone gained him popularity all over the world, and he became a well-deserved hero. After his ascension, his golden statue was still sculpted among the people, enjoying the love of everyone.
Tang Li's role in the plot can be summed up in one sentence:
The female partner loves the hero, the hero loves the heroine, and the female partner hates the heroine the most, so female partner, you should die quickly.
Of course, this sentence also applies to all worlds.
Tangli's watery eyes were full of violence, and she said in a strange tone: "Brother Wang, put away your disgusting fake compassion, I don't need it! If you have the leisure to pity me, why don't you think about how to improve your cultivation? After all, I was still a single spiritual root before, and I don't even look at a waste like you."
She shook her sleeves, looking disdainful and being aloof, as if being in the same place as Wang Pingzhi would dirty her clothes, so she simply tossed her sleeves and left. Before leaving, Tangli said to Ling Xuexue: "Senior sister, I will go first. If you have this person in the future, please don't let me come."
Ling Xuexue said worriedly: "Little junior sister, where are you going?"
Tangli said calmly: "Go back to the room."
Ling Xuexue sighed and saw Tang Li strolling away elegantly. She got angry at Wang Pingzhi and said, "Junior brother, I see you are usually very smart. Why are you so stupid today that you can't understand me when I'm giving you a wink!"
Wang Pingzhi's eyes moved slightly, and he said tentatively: "Senior sister, I just came out of seclusion, why did my little junior sister's temperament change suddenly? Or did the master give up on her?"
Ling Xuexue thought his words were weird. Tangli had refuted his face, so why did it involve the master?
At this time, Xu Wenchang, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, said quietly: "Junior sister is the most beloved by master. Now her status is unmatched by anyone. Junior brother has always been the most well-informed. Why don't you ask more about little junior sister's recent affairs?"
Wang Pingzhi pursed his lips and tightened his grip on the sword hilt. Xu Wenchang obviously hit the nail on the head and exposed Wang Pingzhi's little thoughts.
He takes everything in consideration, because he cares about these people and can benefit from these people. But Tangli is now a useless person, and Wang Pingzhi has long placed her within the scope of being worthy of friendship, so how can a junior brother like him, who has just come out of seclusion, have the time to care about Tangli's every move?
Ling Xuexue crossed her arms and said calmly: "No matter how much my junior sister's temperament changes, she will never be rejected by Master and us!"
Wang Pingzhi lowered his eyebrows, lowered his attitude, "I said something wrong. I hope senior sister and brother will forgive me."
Xu Wenchang glanced sideways at Wang Pingzhi, who was acting coquettishly, and said sincerely: "We are the closest fellow sects and the master's direct disciples. Only by supporting each other and helping each other can we have a clear conscience on the road to immortality."
Wang Pingzhi despises him, his personal disciple? It sounds high-sounding, but it's not the case. The closest people are not you, those with good spiritual roots and qualifications? Just wait and see, sooner or later, I will trample you under my feet, my fate is up to me!
"Yes, I will follow my senior brother's teachings."
Tangli, who was walking alone, had forgotten the hero Wang Pingzhi. She no longer maintained a serious demeanor. She put her hands in her cuffs. Her wide sleeves were about to fall to the ground. Her figure was light. If she was given a wicker chair, Tangli would definitely lie down and take some time off without hesitation. It didn't matter whether it was day or night, taking time off was the most important thing.
[Tangtang! I'm coming. ]
Tangli listened to the chatter of System 001, and suddenly her head was hit. She looked up with an "ouch" and saw a squirrel with a fluffy tail hiding, focusing only on its head and not its butt.
Tangli picked up the pine cone that fell on the ground. She tiptoed and jumped up. The pine cone landed firmly on the squirrel's big tail, and the squirrel cleverly wrapped its tail around the pine cone. His big eyes stared at Tangli very curiously.
"Next time you hit me, I will cut off all your fur." Tangli continued to put her hands in her sleeaves, smiling. Although one person and one squirrel cannot communicate, how can the squirrels raised in Tianxuan Sect be mortal? Having already sensed Tangli's pressure, it smeared oil on its soles and crawled back into the tree hole.
[Hey, Tangtang is too into the drama. ]
This time, the female supporting character is a complete bad guy. She has become crazy because of her destroyed cultivation. However, she always acts harmless in front of others. In fact, she has done all kinds of bad things behind her back. It's so cool, I don't know how much thunder she has laid for the heroine Pei Qingjun.
Tang Li snorted softly and said, "This is not acting, this is telling the truth. Being hit on the head really hurts!"
[Ha ha ha ha! ]
She stood in the place where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, as if she were in a fairyland. This was the foundation of the strongest sect in the world of cultivating immortals. It exhausted many spiritual veins to create Tianxuan Sect, which also made the place overflowing with spiritual energy, which was beneficial to those who cultivated Taoism.
Tang Li asked 001, "Wang Pingzhi has been released from seclusion, and the heroine Pei Qingjun will be released soon, right?"
[The plot states that the two came out of seclusion one after the other, probably in the past few days. ]
Tangli curled her lips with a strange look on her face, and said, "When she comes out of seclusion, let's see how I deal with her."
[Tangtang, what are you going to do? ]
"Don't do anything, just look for trouble. If she is unhappy, then I will be happy."
She wandered back to her yard. After recovering from her injuries, Tangli moved out of the cave and lived in this yard. Ling Xuexue also sent a maid, a mortal. They lived together in this secluded Wanlin Valley. They had to unlock the formation at the entrance to enter, or they had to obtain Tangli's consent. Otherwise, ordinary disciples were not allowed to enter.
This was written by Master of Tangli. He was afraid that the young apprentice who had suffered a crime would be bullied. Now that she could not practice Taoism, he could only try his best to make up for her in other places.
Tangli walked into Wanlin Valley. The branches receded and the spiritual energy was like clouds stagnating on the roof, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
The spiritual energy here is stronger, which can be seen from Tangli's rosy complexion.
"Erbao, what kind of food are you cooking today?"
"Guobao Pork, Babao Duck, and your favorite spicy boiled fish."
Tangli smiled happily when she heard this, looked at the honest maid sitting on the stone bench, "Tomorrow I will go to the Spiritual Beast Garden to catch a harmless little meat ball for you, and let it stay at home with you. How about it?"
Erbao rubbed the corner of her clothes nervously, "Fairy, I am enjoying my life now and don't have to worry about being betrayed by my parents. Fairy, I don't need any spiritual beasts to accompany me. As long as you don't abandon me, I don't care about other things at all."
She stumbled when she spoke, but she still mustered up the courage to express her wishes, because Tangli once told her that she must say what she wants or doesn't want. She hated beating around the bush, so the obedient Erbao kept it in mind. She will never disobey Tangli's orders.
She sat on the wicker chair, looked at Erbao with a smile, "Is that so? Then let you follow me. I'm just afraid that little girl, you will be lonely by yourself."
"No, no, no, I especially like to wait for the fairy to come back every day. I feel that the days are very promising." She touched the back of her head stupidly, moved the table and ran to bring the dishes that were warming on the stove. Erbao sat on the beside the Tangli, she was holding a bowl bigger than her face, ready to eat.
Tangli subconsciously touched her Qiankun bag and found it empty. Her eyes flickered and she pursed her lips.
"Do you want to become an immortal?"
Erbao shook her head, "I am a vulgar servant, how dare I expect to practice Taoism?"
Tangli held her chin and asked, "I asked you if you want to."
She hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said: "I think this is the only way I can become stronger and protect you, the fairy."
"Well, let's do this. I'll go to senior sister tomorrow to ask for a spiritual weapon to test the spiritual roots. Then I'll see how qualified you are, Erbao. Well, as for teaching you how to induce qi, I'm not suitable for teaching people and I don't have enough patience, so I will definitely find a good master for you."
Actually, senior sister is pretty good.
Tangli was holding vegetables while Erbao shyly talked to her on homely topics.
The two women, both mortals, settled in Wanlin Valley and became another special sight in Tianxuan Sect.
By the time meal was finished, the sky had already turned dark.
The glazed lamp placed on the table lights up after sensing the change in the sky. This is not an ordinary lamp, but a spiritual weapon. It is a gadget that Tangli placed in the cave in the past. Now it seems that she bought this lamp in the first place was a very correct choice.
She stretched, and the steps on her bun swayed back and forth, making the too-quiet Wanlin Valley seem to be playing a light and sweet tune.
"Huh?"
At this time, Tangli heard the shaking of the mountain with her ears. She looked at the starry sky and saw only a dim and luxurious purple light penetrating the sky and pouring into a corner of Tianxuan Sect.
"This...could it be that someone had a breakthrough?"
[It seems so. ]
Tang Li suddenly said: "Don't be the heroine..."
[Eh? I remember that half a year ago, didn't her cultivation regress and return to Jindan? The plot doesn't say she will break through. ]
Just as the two of them were discussing, a strange fragrance blew in the wind, and the purple light in the sky dissipated instantly, as if it was just Tangli's illusion.
"Huh? What's going on? It smells so good."
She couldn't restrain her curiosity and left Wanlin Valley after giving instructions to Erbao.
As she walked around, her figure disappeared into the forest. Tangli pulled out the bun from her hair, and her hair fell down, and she quickly made a bun with her hands. And that face became dull and delicate under the moonlight, and there was no trace of Tangli anymore.
She directly flew with the sword, the broken hair on her forehead was blowing, and her expression was calm. Even when she was greeted by other disciples, Tangli's expression did not change.
"I almost forgot about this." She stretched out her wrist, and what was wrapped around it was the previous bell wagging, but now it turned into a bracelet with several bells, and one of the bells was filled with silver light. Tangli took out the outer disciple's waistband and her storage bag.
"You don't have many vests, how can you come out and hang out?"
"Well, the scent has disappeared?"
Soon, she arrived at the location where the commotion had just occurred. Tangli heard the sound of fighting and saw the escort coming here. Tangli glanced around, as if she was looking for someone.
Suddenly, she bumped into a woman in a green shirt. The person turned around, and Tang Li suppressed the sparkle in her eyes, making her plain face look even more ordinary.
"Meet Senior Sister Pei."
Pei Qingjun's skin is as good as snow, and there seems to be a delicate fragrance permeating her body, and her passionate peach blossom eyes are staring at Tangli. As she stares, she is quite charming, but Pei Qingjun is so upright that no one dares to blaspheme. for fear of disturbing her.
"This place is dangerous. Outer disciples should not stay for a long time. You need to retreat quickly." Her red lips were slightly parted and her voice was soft and melodious. She did not see through Tang Li's disguise.
"Senior Sister Pei, what happened here?"
Pei Qingjun's eyes were dim and she explained calmly: "It's just that the guard team discovered a few monsters that broke into Tianxuan Sect."
"Monster?"
Tang Li thought to herself, thinking about the conflict between immortal cultivators and monsters in the plot, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I observe the sky, but that monster is hiding in Tianxuan Sect and has achieved a breakthrough in cultivation?"
Pei Qingjun didn't speak again, passed by Tang Li, and slipped out a long sword with a green light from his sleeve, "You will know tomorrow, go back quickly, it is dangerous here."
She made a spell with her left hand and used her sword energy to kill the black masked man writhing in the air. After he landed heavily, Tangli saw the monkey tail of the masked man. It was indeed a monster.
From the corner of her eye, Pei Qingjun saw Tang Li, who was still in a daze, and pursed her lips helplessly. A wisp of spiritual power on her sleeve was like a breeze, and she waved it towards Tang Li to bring Tang Li back to her senses.
"Hide behind the tree."
"Okay... Okay."
Her posture, her face, and the scent of her sleeves on her face made Tangli forget her vigilance, and she was hit by her spiritual push.
Tangli's steps were brisk, and after a shadow emerged, she hid aside to inquire about the situation here.
But it turned out that nothing happened tonight. Tang Li felt like she had just watched Pei Qingjun's solo show. She easily killed all the monsters with a long sword.
"Tsk tsk, Pei Qingjun's body skills are good."
Tangli came here just to find that alluring scent. Since it doesn't exist here, Tangli has no reason to stay.
"Wait a moment."
The woman's voice caused Tangli to look back. Tangli looked at Pei Qingjun curiously, "I wonder what senior sister Pei has to say?"
There are so many people around, why are they targeting me!
Seeing her panic, Pei Qingjun took out a protective spiritual weapon and gave it to her, "Don't mind it just now. This is my apology. I had no choice but to do this because you were frozen in place." She said, Tang Li was quite surprised that Pei Qingjun used her spiritual power to push Tang Li, because Tang Li didn't take that little thing to heart. On the other hand, Pei Qingjun would treat an outer disciple so politely.
It's really... obedient.
Tangli tilted her head. This word was not quite appropriate, but... unexpectedly it suited her very well.
"Take it."
Pei Qingjun moved her fingertips slightly, and the round jade pendant landed on Tangli's waist.
"Thank you, senior sister Pei."
"You are welcome."
[Wow, she is good. ]
Tang Li looked at the jade pendant and muttered: "She is good, what's the use? Isn't she just a stepping stone for the hero to upgrade?"
She turned her eyes to Pei Qingjun, and her footsteps swayed like a shadow, quietly following Pei Qingjun.
[Tangtang, are you following her? ]
"No, no, I just plan to find an opportunity to plot against her."
[You are bad, people are so kind to you. ]
"But she is the heroine and I am the supporting actress. How can we fall in love with each other?"
Tangli curled her lips and looked at Pei Qingjun with eyes that were without warmth, especially cold in the night.
But she followed and found that Pei Qingjun did not return to the cave, but went to a cold pool.
But Tangli underestimated Pei Qingjun's sensitivity. She turned her head slightly, "Who is it!?"
Pei Qingjun didn't wait for Tang Li to react, and flew over with a sword. Her expression was solemn and cold. In a hurry, Tang Li could only make a seal and use her spiritual energy to resist.
One person's sword energy and the other person's spiritual energy collided with each other, causing a violent impact. The hair of the two was flying, with no outcome in sight.
"Is it you? You are not an outer disciple."
As soon as Pei Qingjun finished speaking, she attacked her without any hesitation. She was merciless and determined not to let Tang Li escape from her hands.
Tangli's cultivation level is obviously not something that outer disciples can possess. She can compete with Pei Qingjun of Jindan, but outer disciples will never be able to do so.
Therefore, Tang Li, a disciple with an outer sect badge, is extremely strange. No wonder Pei Qingjun won't let her go.
Tangli stepped back slightly, her toes in the air, and she took out a long sword from her Qiankun bag. She lowered her eyes, "You can't beat me, so why don't we just give up and pretend that we have nothing to do with each other?"
Pei Qingjun sneered and raised her eyebrows: "Really?"
Tangli didn't want to fight her anymore, but how could Pei Qingjun allow outsiders to break into Tianxuan Sect, so she went up to her again and blocked Tangli from leaving.
"Noisy." Seeing that she refused to give up, Tang Li felt violent in her heart, and her moves were vicious and tricky. The two of them went back and forth, and the silver and cyan light splashed out in shocking waves in the collision of the long swords they held.
Tangli struck back with her spiritual power. She wanted to use this sword to completely suppress Pei Qingjun, who was becoming more and more courageous as she fought. The blade of the sword slashed across her neck. This was Tangli's subconscious action. Once someone endangered her life, Tangli would not be merciful, but she remembered that this was Pei Qingjun, not someone she could kill casually, so she took back her sword, raised her hand and patted Pei Qingjun on the shoulder, turned over and jumped behind Pei Qingjun.
"You..." Tangli was about to say that Pei Qingjun had lost, but Pei Qingjun, who had been safe just now, suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground while covering her chest.
[Tangtang! Did you kill the heroine? ]
"How is that possible! I didn't kill her!"
Tangli hesitated for a moment, put away the sword, came to Pei Qingjun's side, and looked down at Pei Qingjun, who was unconscious.
"Is it a case of porcelain?"
With all my conscience, I really didn't hurt her!
[What is Tangtang planning to do? ]
Tangli sighed, squatted down and took her pulse, "I just owe it. Why should I follow her when I have nothing to do? Its good now, she is unconscious. I've become a big sinner. This... Pei Qingjun Are you a fool? You are so depleted of energy and blood that you dare to fight me!"
Tangli looked at the unconscious Pei Qingjun. The blood on her lips was particularly conspicuous. Tangli couldn't help but wipe away the excess blood and said helplessly: "Forget it, the vomiting of blood is also caused by me."
She blinked unnaturally and carried Pei Qingjun. Her face rested on Tangli's neck, and the hot breath she breathed made Tangli couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Her delicate and thin eyebrows were lightly frowned, revealing a hint of sadness on her pretty face, adding a touch of fragility to her already astonishingly beautiful appearance that she felt pity for.
"She is quite beautiful."
She is just a little stupid and willing to die for this world.
Tangli was flying with her sword, holding a person in her arms, shadowy under the moonlight.
She knew Pei Qingjun's cave and walked in quietly, but when she bent down to put Pei Qingjun on the couch, the strange aroma appeared again, and Tang Li not only smelled it, but also felt pain in her neck, as if she was being squeezed. It felt like it was burning. She frowned and touched the left side of her neck. She looked at her fingers carefully and found that there was still blood on them.
"Is this my blood? Or Pei Qingjun's?"
Tang Li looked at Pei Qingjun coldly and said dissatisfied, "I should have known I wouldn't have carried you back."
The dim moonlight shines on the curtain, and Tangli comes and goes gently like a cat.
The next day, the disciple who had received the sect's mission saw the bare Lengtan and cried without tears, "Who the hell shoveled the Leng Yue Orchid I just planted!!"
And Tangli also woke up slowly, only to hear a call.
"Master, it's daybreak. It's time for you to get up. Your servant is knocking on the door calling you for breakfast."
"Well, let's sleep a little longer."
"well..."
Tangli turned over, still thinking about it in a daze.
Why is there a woman's voice in my room?
I must be dreaming.
