Inquiry about immortality

Several figures fell silently over the plain. They were Qin Sang and his group.

They flew non-stop all the way and successfully left the dangerous sea area, but Si Lu suggested that everyone stop.

"During the foggy year, it is easy to arouse suspicion if we move around everywhere. It is best for us to choose a place to hide and wait until the foggy year is over before continuing on our journey. During this time, I will try to find a reasonable identity for everyone so that we don't have to hide from place to place in the future..."

During the Year of Fog, unless they are tasked with patrolling, the alien practitioners will try their best to practice in the caves and avoid going out.

After Qin Sang and Su Nu discussed it, they felt that this made sense, and it was indeed easy to encounter accidents when traveling in Wu Nian.

The fog beast in the Void Refinement Stage is one of them. If you encounter a fog waterfall in the border area between different races, which is already full of dangers, it will be extremely dangerous. The possibility is very small, but we must prevent it.

In addition, Si Lu was devoted to cultivation back then and did not care about worldly affairs. There were many things she did not understand and needed to find out first.

Everyone looked around. Due to the thick fog, they could only vaguely see the undulating shadows of a few mountains at the end of the plain. There were a few ridges in the center of the plain, which were easily seen to be some houses. It should be a place where the Siyou people lived.

Feeling that everyone was looking at him, Si Lu felt ashamed in his heart. He had never cared about anything other than cultivation before, and really had no idea where this was.

Qin Sang and Su Nu have been secretly using their spiritual senses to sense the energy around the plain.

"The spiritual energy here is weak, there shouldn't be any masters," said Su Nu.

Qin Sang nodded and turned to look at a village. "There is a cultivator in the village, but his cultivation is not high, only the first level of Yuan Realm."

There isn't even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage in the entire plain.

"This place is remote, and most of the tribesmen living here were exiled. The origin power is thin, and it is difficult for practitioners with high realms to appear. If fog beasts did not appear here often, the practitioners in charge of taking care of it would not stay here permanently, but only come here occasionally for inspection."

Si Lu sensed a little and found that person, a child. She was surprised and said, "This child should have just awakened. He has not been sent to the county yet and was delayed by the foggy year. However, he awakened on his own without being refined by the county master with secret techniques. He can be called a genius in our Siyou clan. There is actually one in this village. This lineage must be lucky!"

The emergence of a genius in the family is a great blessing for the entire family. They may leave the barren land and move to the county. Even if the child fails to achieve great success in the future, as long as his bloodline is passed down, future generations will be more likely to awaken, which is tantamount to changing the family's destiny.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait for a moment. I will go and find out where this city is..."

Si Lu's figure flashed and landed near the village. He gently rubbed his brows and performed a secret technique. Worried that there were strong men from the Siyou tribe nearby, they tried to avoid using their spiritual sense to explore everywhere and chose to use this stupid method to "ask for directions".

After a while, everyone in the village fell into a deep sleep, with snoring sounds coming one after another.

Silu quickly got the answer and returned.

Su Nu had just discovered something interesting in the village, and asked curiously, "Do you, the Siyou people, also marry others..."

She realized something was wrong and changed the word, "Partner?"

The Siyou people are male and female, which means that they do not need to have sexual intercourse, and they do not have a husband or wife. They can give birth to children by just feeling the qi and getting pregnant.

In the village, most of the families are similar to the scene of men farming and women weaving. One side is feminine and the other side is masculine. They form partners and have their own division of labor, just like humans.

Is there a difference between the mortals and cultivators of the Siyou clan?
Si Lu did not find it strange at all and said, "Although my race is male and female, it does not mean that we cannot form a partnership with others. Once there are two people who love each other, they can adjust the yin and yang in their bodies. The hard side is like human men, and the soft side is the opposite. They can also have intercourse and get pregnant. These mortals can also do it. In fact, this is the most common among mortals. First, two people can dispel loneliness and support each other together, which is better than being alone. Second, getting pregnant alone will cause greater damage to one's own vitality. But there are also many people who choose to be single..."

As she spoke, Si Lu raised her hand and pointed, saying that they all managed their households on their own and had children and grandchildren to take care of them.

"In this way, wouldn't it be possible for the couple to rotate roles at will? If they want to experience being a woman, they can be a woman, and if they want to experience being a man, they can be a man? It's really fun."

Su Nu burst out laughing, "But I don't know, which party should collect the betrothal money?"

"Dowry?"

Si Lu looked confused.

Qin Sang couldn't listen any longer and interrupted Su Nu, "Daoyou, have you found out the location of the county?"

"Everyone, please follow me..."

Si Lu raised her hand and pointed, leading the way, saying as she flew, "There is also a Chen Tower in this city. I will try to sneak into Chen Tower and get an identity first."

After Si Lu's explanation, we learned that Chen Tower was a place for teaching and preaching built jointly by the royal family of the Siyou clan and the princes of various places. They selected talented children from various counties and preached and taught there.

Entering Chen Tower to practice cultivation is the dream of every member of the Siyou tribe, and the young child will be absorbed into Chen Tower if nothing unexpected happens.

After crossing mountains and rivers, a city appeared in front of them. After a brief discussion, everyone split into two groups. Su Nu took Gu Ya and others to choose a place to hide, while Qin Sang and Si Lu entered the city together.

During the foggy year, the city's defenses must be strengthened, but because the fog beasts are not very intelligent and do not know how to use strategies, the defenses in front of the city gates are not very strict, and the two of them entered the city with a little trick.

Qin Sang and Si Lu separated and carefully explored several secret places in the city. After confirming that there was no master of the second level of the Void Realm in charge, he informed Si Lu and began to plan to send him into Chen Tower.

Qin Sang couldn't help much in the alien territory, so he bought a courtyard and waited for news.

With Si Lu's cultivation, it was impossible for people in the city to discover what she wanted to do, so Si Lu quickly found an opportunity and obtained a legitimate identity. In the following months, after some operations, Si Lu was able to walk in public openly.

During this period, Si Lu sent a series of classic books to Qin Sang. Unfortunately, this place was too remote and lacked the classic books that recorded the secrets. It was necessary to wait until the foggy year passed and continue to inquire in other counties and even the royal city before determining the next route.

Fortunately, the foggy years will not last too long. After about a year, the thick fog will begin to dissipate.

One day, Qin Sang was meditating in his room when he felt the restriction being triggered. He knew that Si Lu had come, so he waved his hand and opened the gate.

Si Lu, using the alias Qi Zan, brought good news, "The fog is showing signs. In ten days, the fog will fade away!"

The fog dial is a treasure refined by the royal family of the Siyou clan and used to spread throughout the world. The saying that the fog will retreat in ten days should be the result deduced by the royal strongmen and is generally accurate.

"Have you made all the arrangements, fellow Daoist?" Qin Sang raised his eyes and asked.

Si Lu said confidently: "Next, I will go out as a traveling master under the alias Qi Zan. I believe that even if the royal family sends people to investigate, they will not be able to find any flaws!"

As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and balls of green light flew out. They were several sets of spiritual armor. "From now on, I will trouble you to pretend to be my followers."

In the Siyou clan, people of noble status are qualified to have followers, and the followers wear spiritual armor, so that they can conceal the appearance of Qin Sang and others openly without arousing suspicion from others.

The two men left the city and met up with Su Nu and others. They waited in the mountains for another ten days. Suddenly, a ray of sunlight broke through the thick fog and shone down.

In an instant, everyone felt their vision became much clearer. They looked up and saw a spot of light appearing in the sky.

It turned out to be noon.

This thought flashed through everyone's mind, and in just a moment, the mountains on the side could be seen clearly.

A few more breaths passed, and there was only a thin mist floating in the void. Then, this thin mist, which looked like morning mist, also dissipated.

In a short period of time, the thick fog that covered the sky completely disappeared, and the sky was high, the land was vast, and the sky was clear.

The scorching sun shines, bringing warmth and driving away the cold.

Vitality began to revive.

From afar they saw the Siyou people in the city running into the streets, dancing and cheering.

Everyone was secretly surprised. They had been concentrating on paying attention to their surroundings and did not see the fog recede. No one knew where the fog came from or where it went. It appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.

There are so many strange places in the sea of ​​fog that Si Lu is no longer surprised and calls on everyone to set off.

In the following time, their figures appeared in various places of the Siyou clan, and finally they sneaked into a royal city. Of course, they were not there to meet with the local prince, but to confirm some information so that they could determine their subsequent itinerary.

This time, it was Qin Sang and Si Lu who entered the city together. Qin Sang wore spiritual armor and acted as a guard.

Some time after entering the city, Qin Sang and Si Lu met in a restaurant's elegant room. Si Lu spread out a sea map, on which the territories of various royal clans were marked, and the surrounding areas were surrounded by thick fog.

He drew a crooked line with his finger. "We can start from here and enter the Cold Wasteland Country through here. It is said that there is a thoroughfare in the fog here, and the two places can travel back and forth. My tribe has always sent people to guard around this fog, and it seems that the rumors are true. The relationship between the Cold Wasteland Country and my tribe is not harmonious, and precisely because of this, they will not allow my enemies to enter the Cold Wasteland Country to hunt us down."

Qin Sang's gaze fell on the fog. During this period, they were sure that the rumors were true, but they still hadn't found out the exact route. They still had to explore on their own in the future.

However, now that we have a clear direction, it should not be difficult.

Qin Sang nodded and was about to speak, but saw Si Lu staring out the window with a strange expression.

"Did you meet an acquaintance?" Qin Sang asked.

Si Lu nodded and said in surprise: "I didn't expect to see him here..."

Qin Sang also looked out the window. People were coming and going on the street, because there were also many practitioners in the royal city. At this moment, two Siyou people at the fourth level of Yuan Realm were walking past the window.

However, Silu was looking at a mortal.

I saw a little man sitting on the shoulder of the mortal. His limbs and facial features were the same as those of humans, but his body was very small, only the size of a thumb. He swung his legs gently and looked at the scenes on both sides of the street with a curious look on his face.

Although his body is small, his cultivation is not weak, comparable to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation. He obviously used some secret technique to conceal his body. The people around him ignored him, and the mortals who used him as a mount were also unaware of it.

"Which tribe is this person from?"

Qin Sang remembered that the Yu clan under the Siyou clan did not have this kind of thing.

"He is not a member of our clan. His clan is called Jiao Jiao. The members of his clan are small in stature, but have a high status. They are also one of the upper clans of our Tianbu."

Si Lu shook her head. "This man's name is Ji Hong. I met him by chance more than a hundred years ago and saved him once. He claimed that he was traveling here and encountered danger. If I hadn't happened to pass by and asked Shang Shi Xia to rescue him, he would have been seriously injured. After he recovered from his injury, he used the teleportation formation to leave our clan and I don't know when he returned."

"You're indebted to him?"

Qin Sang immediately grasped the key point and thought, "How many people know about this? Do you think this person is trustworthy?"

Si Lu saved Ji Hong's life, and Ji Hong's clan can be on equal footing with Si You's clan, so there is no need to worry that he will surrender to Si Lu's enemies.

The most important thing is that this person travels everywhere, and maybe we can get some useful information from him.

Si Lu recalled: "At that time, only Xia Changshi and I were present, and not many people knew about this. This person has a straightforward personality. After I rescued him, he was very grateful to me, and it didn't seem like he was faking it."

"In that case, why not ask him to come over and see you."

Qin Sang said.

Even if something unexpected happens, Jihong is only at the level of a spirit being transformed, so it is easy to control.

Si Lu was a little hesitant. The people who were close to him in the past had betrayed him one by one, and he didn't want to go through that kind of pain again.

If Ji Hong is also bribed by his enemy, he will lose another friend!
Si Lu sighed softly and took out a jade pendant: "Thank you for taking the trip, fellow Daoist."

Qin Sang nodded and disappeared in a flash.

On the street, Ji Hong controlled the mortal to turn to a quieter street. He swung his legs and jumped off the mortal's shoulder. He turned around and looked behind him, pouting and snorting, "Daoyou have followed me for so long, I wonder what's the matter? Do you think I'm small and weak and easy to bully? Don't forget that there is a covenant between the upper clans!"

The void twisted slightly, and Qin Sang, who was fully armored, appeared. He clasped his fists and bowed, "Excuse me, is this fellow Daoist Ji Hong?"

Ji Hong's eyes flashed, and his tone suddenly became a little anxious, "How do you know my name?"

He looked Qin Sang up and down, and then asked urgently, "Who is your master?"

Qin Sang opened his palm and the jade pendant flashed by. "The master is waiting for you. If you want to see the master, please follow me."

"Quick, quick! Fellow Daoist, take me there!"

Jihong jumped onto Qin Sang's shoulder and urged him on.

Qin Sang glanced at Jihong out of the corner of his eye. This kid was really not shy. He gathered his protective energy in time and did not knock Jihong away.

He deliberately walked around and saw that Jihong looked normal, so he brought him to Silu.

"Fellow Daoist Silu, it really is you!"

Ji Hong was indeed straightforward. Seeing Si Lu, his joy was beyond words. "You're still alive! That's great! When I heard about the internal strife in the Si You tribe, I immediately rushed here. I've been looking for you for a long time, and I've almost searched all over the Si You tribe, but there's still no news of you. I thought you..."

He jumped onto the table and spun around excitedly, "Great! Great!"

Seeing Ji Hong so excited, Si Lu felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, "I am sorry to have worried you, fellow Taoist." (End of this chapter)
