Chapter 131: Drinking under the Moon and Recalling Dreams Lingxiang was very surprised, stroking the Linglong in her hand, feeling the spiritual energy in it. This was undoubtedly the Linglong treasure furnace, but how could it be in the painting? She looked at the woman in front of her who looked exactly like her mother, her eyes full of suspicion. Seeing her like this, Hua Ling smiled and said, "I think this is the shapeshifting technique of the Yuanqing School at that time." Lingxiang had never expected that Senior Brother Zhaoming's transformation technique had reached such a level? While she was amazed, she heard the woman continue to say: "I was just an ordinary painting, but suddenly one day a stream of spiritual energy was injected into it, and it became the exquisite painting in your hand. With the spiritual energy nourishing me day by day, I gradually gained spiritual consciousness, and later created this world in the painting." Linglong is an ancient spiritual treasure with pure spiritual energy. Senior Brother Zhaoming sent it in, but he didn't expect that an ordinary painting would be nurtured into a spiritual treasure. Thinking of this, Lingxiang asked, "Since you are a spirit, why don't you walk out of the painting on your own?" The painting spirit smiled again after hearing this: "Although I am a spirit, I don't have the power to transform into a physical form, so I can't set foot in the outside world. But I can use Linglong's spiritual energy to send messages for it. I know you must be confused. Linglong, an ancient spirit, has never transformed into a physical form, so why can I, even though it's only in the painting? But if you ask me, I don't know, but I do know a lot of things from Linglong, so I can tell you a thing or two." Things? What things...
Lingxiang was very confused, but Hualing understood clearly. "Nature is everything you don't know." …… Xiao Bai waited outside for a long time, not knowing what to do, when he saw a wave of spiritual power coming out of the scroll hanging on the wall. After a moment, Ling Xiang flew out of the painting. He hurried forward: "How are you? What's going on?" Lingxiang looked calm and just smiled: "It turns out that what I have been looking for for a long time has been right under my nose all along." Ling Xiang's behavior really puzzled Xiaobai. If she had found what she was looking for, why did she look like this? Lingxiang seemed to be smiling but her eyes were different from usual. "Xiaobai, help me take down this painting. I want to take it away." Xiaobai did as he was told, but he always felt that something was wrong with Lingxiang. When he handed the scroll to Lingxiang, he wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to start. Lingxiang put the scroll into her Qiankun bag, and seeing Xiaobai's hesitant look, she smiled again, but the smile seemed a little forced. "When I called you just now, you were drinking? Why don't you take me for a drink?" "You... can drink too?" Xiaobai asked in surprise. "Hey~ You can learn if you don't know~" …… The moon was bright in the sky, the stars were shining, and on the roof, there were two people, two cups, and a pot of sake. When she smelled the incense, it had a mellow aroma. After taking a sip, it tasted bitter and spicy. Her whole face wrinkled and she kept smacking her lips. Xiaobai just found it extremely funny. "I told you that you couldn't drink, but you just kept drinking." He drank the sake in the cup in one gulp, then picked up the jug and filled it again. Lingxiang felt a little unconvinced when she heard him say this. "Who said I can't drink!" He then imitated Xiaobai and drank the whole cup in one gulp.
After drinking a glass of wine, she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her stomach and a burning pain when she swallowed. She couldn't help but drop the bowl, frowning her little face, and rubbing her neck with her hands. "Oh my! I really don't understand why you guys like to drink this kind of filthy stuff. I can't taste what's good about it. It's really, really unpalatable!" Xiaobai laughed, "Since it's your first time drinking, how can you drink it all in one gulp? This is the flower wine I chose. If it was the strong liquor from before, you would definitely choke and your throat would hurt." He then brought the wine cup next to Lingxiang over, "Besides, which girl drinks like you?" The wine cup was half moved, but was held down by Lingxiang. Xiaobai looked at Lingxiang. Under the moonlight, he saw that her cheeks were flushed and she looked drunk. Her already beautiful appearance had a bit of laziness added to it. He was a little dazed for a moment, but came to his senses after a moment. "If you don't know how to drink, then don't drink." Lingxiang stubbornly pulled the wine cup back, filled the pot herself, and held up the wine cup. However, she did not drink it. She just held it and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. "Xiaobai, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" Hearing this, Xiaobai looked at Lingxiang. He didn't know why she asked this. "Before I met you, I had never thought about what would happen. I thought I would guard my cave, capture many beauties to keep me company, and then live out the rest of my life. Anyway, I would be free of worries, but..." He did not continue speaking, but said in his heart: But things were different after I met you. Even in that dream, it was you who helped me get out of the nightmare of the past. …… "So that's how it is. You're neither a ghost, nor a demon, nor a human. According to records, the last time someone like you was seen was a hundred years ago." Lingxiang looked at Wu Yuan with an inexplicable expression on her face. "Why? Are you feeling sorry for me?" "How could that be? After all, this is your path. Since ancient times, there have been many people like you who have achieved great success. There is nothing to be pitied. Unlike me, I have worked hard for more than ten years, but still have not made any progress. Now my life is almost gone, and I am afraid that this is the end of my life." "Hmph! Don't be so hypocritical. Although I hate women, I have never hurt anyone's life. Put away your thoughts!" "Ha~ I've been discovered!" Lingxiang raised an eyebrow. "Any cultivator who has been involved in a life-threatening situation will have some evil spirits. Since your magic is pure, I guessed that you have some past, and it turns out to be true." "Am I also a monk?" "That's natural. As the saying goes, Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. It's just that you and I have different Taos. Although all things have Tao, all things return to Tao, and all things are heading towards Tao. Now that it exists, it becomes reasonable. If you believe in me, wait for the magic to be unraveled, find out the reason, and resolve your knot. I also hope that you can concentrate on practicing and let go of the past." "Ha!" Wu Yuan lowered his head and sneered, "I have done all these things and hurt you so much, can you let it go?" "The past is like this, the past is all smoke, just like boiling tea overflowing from a cup, there is nothing that cannot be let go," Lingxiang said lightly: "Don't judge others for their mistakes, but talk about the future, looking back is a retreat, only the right path is ahead." Wu Yuan was stunned and looked at Lingxiang, and she was also looking at him with a calm expression. The girl in front of me is thin and petite, but she is so strong inside. He suddenly felt that those unbearable things seemed to be really unimportant. …… The boiling tea overflowed the cup, yes! When you feel pain, you know how to let go, and when you let go, you will naturally be able to see things more clearly. Lingxiang waited for a long time, but Xiaobai didn't continue speaking, so she looked over, only to see him looking at her with a dazed look, as if he was thinking about something. Looking closely, Xiaobai, who had become a vengeful demon, seemed to have a different appearance from before. He looked much better, with a bit more tenderness...
Gentle? Lingxiang hurriedly shook her head, wondering if she was drunk. She was clearly a six-foot-tall man, how could she be described as gentle and charming? Fortunately, she never said it out loud. If Xiaobai knew, he would definitely be unhappy. (End of this chapter)
