Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 1536 Snow Mountain (4k)

Perhaps it was an urgent need to go back to digest the colorful air mass. Wherever the worm cloud passed by, it no longer plundered life as before, and hurried back to the nest.

Fat Silkworm gritted his teeth and cursed.

Obtaining amber worm crystals has lost its original source. Although it will not cause irreversible damage to it, it will take a long time to recover and delay advancement.

In its simple cognition, if it doesn't take advantage, it will suffer a disadvantage. The last time it fell into Qin Sang's hands.

Looking at the gradually disappearing insect cloud, Qin Sang was still recalling the experience just now, feeling very strange.

The real insect king is at least a four-change spirit insect!
Wild four-change spirit insects are really rare.

One is that it is extremely difficult for spirit worms to grow.

The second is that wild spirit insects hide extremely deeply. Some spirit insects are good at concealing supernatural powers. Under deliberate concealment, they can deceive the perception of higher-level enemies.

However, the supernatural power of this true insect king is not simply concealment.

Otherwise, the celestial eye butterfly will definitely find its trace.

In the insect control classics of the two races, there are only a few records about the rot phosphorus firefly, and it seems that there is nothing worth mentioning about describing it as a swarm of insects with only simple instincts.

Unexpectedly, the worm king of Phosphorus firefly is so strange.

"Well, maybe there is no insect king, but the group consciousness mutation of the insect swarm."

Qin Sang recalled the feeling of being watched by the swarm of insects. The thought flashed through, and then another possibility came to his mind, "Perhaps, the true insect king is actually another spirit insect with special supernatural powers, enslaving this group of rotten fireflies..."

Thinking about these questions, Qin Sang wanted to come over to check the amber worm crystals, but the fat silkworm had already stuffed the worm crystals into his mouth and was trying to swallow them.

Small eyes rolled around, clearly wary of Qin Sang.

It knows that Qin Sang still has two spirit insects, and the coquettish butterfly is the most beloved.

In fact, the Celestial Eye butterfly did not show any interest in the amber worm crystal.

Qin Sang smiled helplessly, could he still snatch the treasure that this guy exchanged for Yuanyuan?
After swallowing the amber worm crystal, the fat silkworm flew back with its bulging body, its eyelids began to fight, unable to hide its exhaustion, it almost fell asleep on the spot.

Qin Sang checked it roughly, and made sure there was nothing wrong with it, so she put it back to sleep, hoping that the fat silkworm would be able to advance after refining the worm crystal.

Here it is.

When Qin Sang returned to the cave, he saw that Zhou and Ruan were honestly staying in the spiritual formation, so he took them with him and walked stop and go all the way, leaving the Tianrift Valley.

……

Outside the Rift Valley.

Three figures flew slowly between the mountains and forests.

"Senior, the front is the Taoist temple we practice, the tower temple."

Zhou and Ruan led the way, and Zhou Jin turned her head from time to time to introduce the nearby terrain to Qin Sang.

This place is thousands of miles away from the Tianrift Valley, and it is more barren than other places, and there are few immortal cultivators.

The Loutai Temple is quite famous in the mortal world, but no one would have guessed that there is a small Taoist temple hidden in the mountain behind the Loutai Temple, where immortal cultivators live.

The temple is hidden in the mountains and forests.

The environment is very quiet.

Zhou Ruan is the authentic descendant of Taoism. For some reason, the patriarch of Loutaiguan chose to open a Taoist temple in Beihuang. Afterwards, the inheritance continued, but it was not prosperous. There were only two of them in this generation.

There are also a few little Taoist priests who stay behind and are disciples of Zhou Jin.

Lived in the Taoist temple for a few days.

Ruan Yu completely absorbed the power of the Snake Shadow herb, her stubborn illness improved, and her sallow complexion became a little more rosy.

At this moment, her face was not happy, but full of worry.

Qin Sang decided to take Zhou Jin and set off together, taking him through the most chaotic area of ​​the Northern Wilderness, to the border of Misty Rain Nineteen States, and then separated.

He turned west.

Zhou Jin entered Misty Rain Nineteen States alone.

He made a decision, and Zhou Ruan didn't have the courage to refuse, so he could only bear the pain of parting silently.

"Junior Sister is resting in the temple, I'll come back as soon as I go," Zhou Jin pretended to be relaxed, shook Ruan Yu's thin shoulders, flew out of the Taoist temple without looking back, and caught up with Qin Sang.

All the way without incident.

……

Misty Rain Nineteen States, also known as the Central Plains by the monks of the Northern Wilderness, actually has no clear boundary between them and the Northern Wilderness.

The legend of the division of the nineteen prefectures is related to the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the past. At first, there were only the six most core Jiangzuo prefectures. In the old days, the Central Plains referred to these six prefectures.Later, it gradually expanded, and gradually included the seven states of West Road, the four states of Northland, and the two states of Nanman, forming the current pattern, and called the nineteen states of misty rain.

Misty and rainy, the bustling holy scene.

The four northern states are connected to the Northern Wilderness.

Qin Sang and Zhou Jin walked out of the Northern Wilderness, and the first place they entered was Zezhou, one of the four northern states.

Zezhou.

As the name suggests, the water is boundless.

In fact, the entire four northern states are full of mountains, rivers, swamps and lakes.The six prefectures in Jiangzuo also have well-developed water systems, but they are far less rough than the four prefectures in the north, and they are often full of thousands of miles of lakes and thousands of peaks.

It is said that [-]% of Zezhou's area is covered by Zehu Lake, surrounded by clouds and smoke, and sparsely populated.

The Shanchengfang City in Zezhou is like isolated islands in a lake. Those who don’t know it think they have entered the East China Sea.

A ray of light flew across the lake and hurriedly landed on a green peak, it was Zhou Jin.

He walked to a cliff at the top of the peak, bowed to the stone wall and said.

"Senior Qin, I heard about it. A thousand miles to the south is Muguanyuan. There is Liuzhou Hall in the city. It is said that it is the most northern branch."

'Yuan' can be regarded as a city in the realm of cultivating immortals, a large square city, which is very common in the Nineteen States of Misty Rain, and there are also other places called market markets and prefectures.

Liuzhoutang is an organization similar to a chamber of commerce, with a deep background and well-informed information.

It was named Liuzhoutang because it originated in the six states of Jiangzuo. Later, it gradually grew, defeated many of its peers, and spread its influence throughout the nineteen states, becoming one of the most powerful chambers of commerce in the Central Plains.

The name Liuzhoutang is still used today.

After Zhou Jin finished speaking, there was no response from inside the cliff. He still maintained a respectful posture, waited for a while, and suddenly saw a flash of light on the cliff, and Qin Sang walked out from inside.

"then!"

Qin Sang raised his hand and threw something to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin quickly took it with both hands, and it felt as soft as nothing to the touch. Looking carefully, it was a cloud-like gray gauze, which looked extremely light, and it was actually a magic weapon.

"I see that you are not good at escaping, and you can't escape when you encounter a crisis. This treasure is called Wanli Yan. After you refine it, you can use it to conceal your breath, and you can also take advantage of it to escape when necessary."

Qin Sang said lightly that Wanliyan was refined from the monster materials he hunted in the Sky Rift Valley.

Compared to Beihuang, the Misty Rain Nineteen States was a peaceful and prosperous age, but there has never been absolute peace in the world of cultivating immortals. Zhou Jin helped him investigate the news, first of all, he had to save his life.

Zhou Jin was overjoyed, "Thank you senior for giving me the treasure!"

Along the way, although Qin Sang was unsmiling, it was not like strangers should not enter, much less like a demon cultivator.

Zhou Jin encountered a problem in practice, hesitated for a long time, and tried to ask Qin Sang for advice, but the answer she got was a few words and every word.

At this time, he was not completely afraid of Qin Sang, but also respected, determined to do things with all his heart.Maybe, not only can it cure the stubborn illness of the junior sister, but it is also a chance for them.

"This time you entered the Central Plains alone, and leave a token at the Liuzhou Hall every once in a while. When I come back after handling the matter, I will contact you through the Liuzhou Hall..."

The two flew towards Mu Guanyuan, Qin Sang made an explanation, and Zhou Jin took it down carefully.

When she came to Mu Guanyuan, Zhou Jin saluted Qin Sang farewell, and escaped into the vast lake.

Qin Sang stayed where he was for a while, and entered the city alone.

The noise is heard.

In Zezhou, due to the vastness of the land and sparse population, not only the Yuancheng market, but also the scale of mortal settlements is much larger than other places.

It is said that Mu Guanyuan is controlled by three major forces, and it is complicated. Qin Sang is not interested in understanding these, because he will not stay for too long.

The purpose of entering the city this time is to establish contact with the Liuzhou Hall so that it will be convenient for future actions, and the second is to purchase maps and various news about Western Desert.

Liuzhou Hall.

Qin Sang deliberately released a breath of Yuanying cultivator. As soon as he entered Liuzhou Hall, he was invited into the quiet room and received by the steward himself.

The steward was actually a monk of the Golden Core stage, but he looked like a fat man with two beards, a friendly smile, and no appearance of immortality.

The steward took a peek at Qin Sang, saluted and said, "Forgive me for my poor eyesight, but I dare to ask you if I can honor you, where is the fairyland?"

"The old man's surname is Qin, but he is a loose cultivator overseas."

Qin Sang's tone was calm.

"Senior Qin."

The steward suddenly realized, "It turns out that the senior came from the fairy island in the East China Sea, and it's only because the junior is not knowledgeable enough...the senior should not have the order of the six states, right?"

As he said that, the steward took out a token and presented it with both hands, "The hall master has an order. The six state decree will only be sent to seniors in the Nascent Soul stage. No matter where you are, as long as the seniors show this order, all branch halls will do their best to serve you. .”

Qin Sang got a lot of such things in Beihai.

He put it away indifferently, and asked: "I heard that your hall is well-informed, do you know anything about Ximo?"

The steward nodded repeatedly, without asking Qin Sang's purpose, pleaded guilty, left the quiet room, and returned in a hurry, holding a jade slip in his hand, "This is the latest map, but due to our hall's ability, Due to limitations, and the vastness of the Western Desert, with many changes, it is impossible to cover the entire Western Desert, only the area close to the Seven States of the West Road is the most detailed. There are also some rumors from the Western Desert, all of which are on it, and they are all given to Qin for free senior."

Qin Sang's tone was displeased, "The old man will rely on these few spirit stones from you?"

The steward didn't dare to talk about it, and hurriedly explained, "Senior Mingjian, this is the rule of our Liuzhou Hall all the time. This kind of information has always been provided to Master Yuanying for free. It's not for anything else, just to form a good relationship." edge."

"Hehe, your hall is so imposing, no wonder it can be so big."

Qin Sang nodded, accepting it calmly.

After receiving the jade slips, Qin Sang saw Jiujia Mountain at a glance, which is still a sacred place of Buddhism.

……

Stopping at Muguanyuan for a while, Qin Sang went west out of the city, rushed to Jiujia Mountain, and joined Liuli.

It is easy to determine the direction of this trip. Qin Sang only needs to follow a big river named Tiantuo River and travel all the way west to reach Jiujia Mountain.

Leaving Zezhou, passing through Saizhou, the northernmost of the seven states on the West Road, you enter the West Desert.

A scene similar to that of the West Desert can be seen in the western part of Cyprus.

The vast Gobi is full of desolation.

However, both sides of the Tiantuo River are always lush with water and grass, and the scenery outside the Great Wall is not bad for the six states on the left of the river.

The western desert is not all Gobi desert, there is no lack of oases, rivers and lakes in the hinterland, and there are also fertile lands, which are very rich.

For example, in the northern part of the Western Desert, the birthplace of the Tiantuo River is the Xuelian Mountains. The melting water from the snow mountains nourishes a large oasis, forming a mighty river that flows through the Central Plains and finally flows into the East China Sea. It is one of the most important rivers in the Zhongzhou water system.

Legend has it that Xuelian Mountain is the place where Buddhism prospers. There are many Buddhist holy places, and Jiujia Mountain is just one of them.

After years of development, Western Desert is no longer dominated by Buddhism. Taoist disciples go out to preach, take root in the sand sea oasis, and establish a sect.

There are also many heretics and evil cultivators who choose to go west instead of entering the Northern Wilderness. Although it is not as chaotic as the Northern Wilderness, the situation is also very complicated.

Of course, Xuelian Mountain is still the private land of Buddhism, and it is difficult for external forces to infiltrate.

On both sides of the Tiantuo River, Buddhist temples and Buddhist temples can be seen everywhere, countless like the stars in the sky. This river is also a pilgrimage route for Buddhists in the Central Plains.

The Buddhist sect, which is extremely declining in Beihai and Canglanghai, is one of the most important forces in Zhongzhou, capable of contending with the Taoist sect.

Qin Sang walked with the Buddhist disciples, calling himself a layman, and the name of the moon walker.

He practiced the "Seven Masters of Buddha", but he was able to keep up with Buddhism.

Leaving Desai, the scenery became more and more desolate, and the water vapor of the Tiantuo River could not withstand the erosion of wind and sand. The oases on both sides of the river were gradually compressed, and the vegetation became sparser.

After entering the hinterland of the Western Desert, the scenery was almost the same as that of the Beichen Great Desert in the Beichen Realm. Qin Sang was not surprised, and walked in a hurry, hardly stopping in the middle.

Until reaching the edge of Xuelian Mountain, it gradually became rich again.

The trees are lush and the vegetation is lush.

Qin Sang landed on a Gobi desert, looked deep into the oasis, and saw the mountains with white heads, the temples between the snow-capped mountains looked like temples, and the light of Buddha shone everywhere.

"I don't know if Liuli has arrived."

Qin Sang muttered something, looked for the direction of Jiujia Mountain, and walked away.

Jiujia Mountain.

Qin Sang's figure appeared at the foot of the mountain, looking at the huge city surrounding the top of the mountain.

As expected, in the center of the city outline, there is also a Buddhist temple on the top of the mountain, and it is the largest Buddhist temple he has seen all the way westward.

Among the peaks of Xuelian Mountain, Jiujia Mountain is not majestic and precipitous.

The reason why it can become a holy place is related to a Buddhist sage who once practiced here, and the Buddhist temple is the dojo of that sage.

There are many people on the mountain road, and there are many Buddhist monks, but they, like ordinary people, choose to walk up the mountain to show their respect.

Jiujia Mountain is not exactly known as a Buddhist holy place.

Because it is located at the southern foot of Xuelian Mountain, it is also the main throat for the southern desert to enter Xuelian Mountain, and the order in the city is stable, so it assumed the responsibility of the square city and was trusted by the nearby monks.

So many people on the mountain road are not dressed as monks, Qin Sang is not too abrupt.

He observed for a while, and found that the expressions of these Buddhist cultivators were a little strange, and there seemed to be a lot of resentment in their expressions.According to the Buddhist scriptures, anger should be cut off, and these Buddhist cultivations are obviously not enough.

It's normal for one or two people to do this.

It is a little strange that so many Buddhist practitioners are like this.

Qin Sang stepped up the mountain, entered the city, deliberately acted in a high-profile manner, released the name of the moon walker, and then found the most famous inn and settled down.

Rest in the room for a while, wash away the dust, and at the same time wait for Liuli to come to find him.

If Liuli hadn't arrived, he would first inquire about the situation in the Western Desert, looking for news related to the Buddha bone relic.

Before evening, the door lock was touched, Qin Sang's heart moved, a smile appeared on his face, and he opened the door.

"Please come in."

A figure wearing a cloak flashed in, it was Liuli!
