Immortal Formula

   Chapter 123 Husband and wife

   At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, the door of the central hall opened, and two monks walked out. They were actually a man and a woman, both of whom looked like middle-aged people. The man was tall and thin, with a stern face and a taciturn look, but the woman was very warm, and when she saw Gu Yan, her eyes lit up and looked up and down, "Which island do I think it is? The high-ranking people on the board have a leisurely heart, and they wandered around the Treasure Island where birds don’t shit. I didn’t expect such a young girl.”

Gu Yan smiled and bowed their hands to them. Everyone entered the central hall and took their seats, and introduced each other's origins. Gu Yan reported his name, but did not mention anything about the mainland of China, but only said that he came from outside Guixu Sea, because he was chasing after him. The monster strayed into a formation, was inexplicably teleported to the outer sea, and then walked for more than ten days before arriving here.

The woman was very surprised when she heard it, "Although Guixu Sea is large, I have never heard of a teleportation formation in the outer sea. Only Tianyin Pavilion has two ancient teleportation formations. I heard that they can lead to the outside of Guixu Sea. Where did the girl from the Gu family come from?"

Gu Yan smiled and only said that the teleportation array was blocked by herself and had been destroyed by herself. As for the orientation, she pointed casually. Anyway, Guixu Sea is divided into two seas, the inner sea and the inner sea. There are ten islands, three mountains, and countless other seas. Small islands, at least the outer seas, are boundless deep seas, entrenched in countless monsters, she can point in any direction, and she can't tell the truth from the fake.

Then the woman introduced herself. It turned out that they were husband and wife, which made Gu Yan a little curious. After practicing for so many years, both male and female cultivators have met a lot, but this is the first couple to become husband and wife. . Generally speaking, cultivators focus on their own cultivation, and they are rarely involved in emotional matters. Some cultivators will find some people with lower cultivation than themselves as concubines, but very few people will become husband and wife because of love. of. But looking at the pair in front of them, the relationship seems to be quite good.

   This woman is called Hanying, and that tall, thin, unsmiling man is called Bai Tong. They were lucky enough to build a foundation a few decades ago, and then they were named the island owner of Treasure Island.

When Han Ying said this, she couldn't help feeling a little desolate, "Speaking of which, Treasure Island is poor, and it is not interesting for the island owner to do it, but with the cultivation of my husband and wife, I can't get on the island anywhere else. Lord, if you cannot be under the rule of Tianyin Pavilion, in Guixuhai, you will be like a lonely ghost, and you will never have anything to rely on."

   Gu Yan was a little curious, and after asking a few more questions, he realized that when Tianyin Pavilion ruled Guixuhai, it implemented an extremely decentralized and highly centralized method. Usually, the person with the highest cultivation level on each small island is the island owner, and then the island owner rules the entire island and is responsible to the higher-level island owner or mountain owner, who are only responsible for ruling the ten islands and three mountains. But these island owners under the Ten Islands and Three Mountains have to report to Tianyin Pavilion every ten years, and then change or continue based on their achievements and cultivation over the years. Han Ying said with a wry smile: "There are thousands of large and small islands in Guixuhai, which island owner is not trembling, walking on thin ice, for fear that one day he will be compared by his opponent, and the island owner's seat will not be guaranteed, not only for the sake of face If you can't make it through, you may have the worry of your life!"

   Gu Yan said: "If the island owner doesn't do it, he won't do it. It's just a few offerings. How can his life be in danger?"

Han Ying smiled bitterly and said: "How can it be so easy, according to the order of Tianyin Pavilion, the island owner has the right to rule over all the resources on the island, the rest of the people, etc., except that they can't kill the monks of the same level indiscriminately, only need to Every year, they send a full amount of offerings to Tianyin Pavilion, and they don’t care what they want to do. Therefore, there are many things in it. Like our Treasure Island, although it is small, it is still calm. Those big islands in the sea, which time When the island owner is rotated, it is not a **** storm, and dozens or hundreds of people die, which is considered a small number!"

Gu Yan said with a smile: "There is a saying in our hometown that it is better to be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow. Why do you have to rush to those big islands to fight, change to a quiet place, just like the virtuous couple, live in peace, not Is it fun too?"

Han Ying couldn't help laughing when she heard what she said, "The girl understands people. It's just that the islands in Guixuhai are not 10,000 or 8,000, and the difference is different. In a barren place like Gold and Silver Bird, how can they see it? What's more, Tianyin Pavilion has become more and more strict with the requirements for worshiping birds in recent years, all because of that year..."

As soon as she said this, Bai Tong next to her suddenly coughed heavily and said, "Old things, talk about it for nothing, it will only make the distinguished guests smile!" His voice was extraordinarily dry and heavy, it sounded like Word by word popped out of his throat.

When he said these words, Han Ying seemed to feel that he had lost his words, and smiled: "My husband lost his way due to qi refining when he was building the foundation. Although the foundation was successfully established, his voice was damaged, and he always spoke in such a tone of voice. It can never be restored to its original appearance. Girl, don't take offense."

Gu Yan waved her hand and said that she didn't care, "I think the husband is Jin Linggen, and his true qi is scattered in the three burners, so that the vocal cords are damaged. I see the green grass cutting in the garden in the backyard, presumably to make two burners Cassia jade. liquid?"

Han Ying's eyes widened in surprise, "Fellow Daoist is really an expert, must be proficient in the art of alchemy?" She has always called "sister" affectionately, but at this time she changed it to a solemn name, presumably It was because he could see that Gu Yan really had some real skills.

Gu Yan smiled. She revealed her abilities slightly at this time, not to show anything, but she knew the laws of the world of immortal cultivation. This is the case in Shenzhou Continent, and the same is true in Guixuhai, which is thousands of miles away. If you have some capital, if you don't have any skills, and others don't take you seriously, then you will really be reduced to a slaughtered generation. She had already experienced this in Guanque City.

So when she heard Han Ying's words, she smiled slightly, "Little sister once learned some alchemy techniques with a friend, but she couldn't make it on the stage, but luckily you have half a bottle of green essence in your hand, and your Excellency has green essence. Dark grass, it is perfect to use this for medicine." After speaking, he took out a jade bottle, "This is what I collected from the ice field in the north, from the bottom of the earth. That place is called Wanzai. The Xuanbing Grotto is extremely cold, and the quality of the green spirit marrow produced is first-class." After speaking, he handed over the jade bottle.

  Hanying stretched out his hand to take it. Just as he opened the bottle cap, a gust of cold air rushed towards his face, and the room seemed to be a little colder. Han Ying said in surprise: "This is really the green spirit marrow that has really experienced ten thousand years. The Taoist friend can pick this thing from under the mysterious ice of ten thousand years. It is really extraordinary. I just don't know how many spirit stones are needed, or what kind of magic weapon is needed. Exchange?" Her eyes showed some admiration, and even Bai Tong's face changed slightly.

   Gu Yan smiled with satisfaction, showing her favor, and showing her prestige again, but not publicity, this is her way of doing things. Hearing Han Ying's words, she shook her head, "I came here for the first time, I don't need any spiritual stones or magic tools, I just want to live here for a while, please don't reveal my identity, I don't know if I can. ?"

   She took out half a bottle of Qingling Essence to make friends with these two people, and only made a small request, which can be said to be extremely generous. But Han Ying and Bo Tong looked at each other at the same time, their faces showing embarrassment. Han Ying gave a wry smile and said, "Girls from the Gu family are so kind, fools and couples don't know how to repay. If we just want to live on Treasure Island, we must be treated as honored guests, but we just want to hide our deeds, but it's impossible. According to the rules, every cultivator who comes to Guixuhai from overseas, as long as the cultivation base has reached the foundation, must report to the Bird Lord Mansion to which he belongs, and then the island owner will report to the Tianyin Pavilion. I can't escape that side of the 'Treasure Mirror of the Heavens' in the Tianyin Pavilion!"

Bai Tong said in a calm voice: "Tianyin Pavilion has a magic weapon. I heard that it was left by an ancient immortal. It is called 'The Treasure Mirror of the Heavens'. Few people have seen it, but I heard that it is in the shape of a mirror. Above the Tianyin Pavilion, a ray of light illuminates the entire Guixu Sea and the Great Thousand Worlds. There is nothing to hide, and every detail is revealed. Therefore, this bottle of Qingling Essence, please take it back.”

  Hanying handed over the jade bottle with some reluctance, and looked at Bo Tong with regretful eyes. Bo Tong turned his head slightly, but the hand below caressed the back of her hand imperceptibly.

Gu Yan didn't pick up the jade bottle, smiled and said, "I thought it was just a random request, why should I embarrass the couple? I just want to stay here for a while, there are rules, just report it as usual. Ping Qing Lingzhu, even if I make friends, the gift of meeting is good."

Bai Tong still wanted to refuse, but Han Ying accepted it with great joy, she said, "According to the rules, every monk must go to the island to report in person, but this time, there is no need for the girl to make a special trip, because it will be a month later. All monks must participate in the ceremony of the Lord of Nanyawen Island, and the Lord of Yashanwei has sent an order that all monks above the foundation of each island should go to Yashan to meet within half a month. Then we will set off together. If the girl comes a few days late, she probably won't be able to see us."

  Gu Yan nodded with a smile, "That's the trouble."

Han Ying waved his hands again and again, "Speaking of which, we are also monks from overseas. We are all loose cultivators, and we have no background from teachers. We should be watching and helping each other. We originally planned to leave in three days. It's better to take advantage of the good effect of Qingming Grass, and make it into jade liquid first, otherwise it will be settled in ten days. Wen Yang, go and clean up the quiet room for Senior Gu!"

Following her shouting, the boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes who started to lead Gu Yan in, ran in quickly, with sweat on his face, seeing how respectful his master and wife were to Gu Yan , was a little surprised, and looked at Gu Yan with strange eyes.

  Hanying seemed to be very casual towards him, and said, "Wen Yang, this is a senior from Waihai, with a high level of cultivation, so don't neglect him, go and serve."

  Wen Yan gave a crisp answer, and then led Gu Yan out.
