longevity road trip

……

"puppet?"

"Ancient corpse?"

Min Caiquan stared at this person with a look of disbelief, Zhang Shiping also felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous.The six Golden Core cultivators were actually unable to make a move under the hands of a crippled puppet. It would make people laugh out loud.

Chapter 449 Doubt

Although the move by the cruel puppet just now seemed a bit like a sneak attack, but being able to make the six of them into such a mess with one move is really not to be underestimated, and several people feel jealous.

Suddenly, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and the crippled man turned back and walked into the light curtain after mechanically repeating the same words several times.

Pieces of snow fluttered in the valley, slowly covering up the messy shoe prints on the snow.

Zhang Shiping's eyes were heavy, thinking about countermeasures.After all, I have come here. I have prepared for so long and spent so much time before, so I am naturally unwilling to retreat in such a mess.

He glanced at the few people and looked at their appearances, and he knew that no one of these people wanted to open their mouths and make such a head first, and then provoke this cruel puppet in Gu Zhong.Just now, the magic weapons of several people were also damaged, and the Yuanci Xuanguang was really difficult for the magic weapons to deal with.

But in fact, there is no way for everyone. Things like puppets are not difficult to deal with. No matter how ever-changing it is, it cannot be changed that it needs to be driven by something that contains energy.The so-called energy is most commonly found in the world of cultivating immortals with spirit stones. Of course, there are also some strange things, such as evil spirits and barbaric spirits.

When Zhang Shiping first entered this place, the murals he saw on the stone pillars, especially the roc in the painting, were almost exactly the same as the Kunpeng corpse he saw in the Nine Birds Secret Realm.The owner of this place should have seen the true spirit of Kunpeng with his own eyes, otherwise it would be difficult to draw such a charm, and he could be fascinated by just a single glance.

Based on this calculation, the distance from this place has been tens of thousands of years. In such a long time, I am afraid that even a Mahayana venerable may not be able to live for such a long time, let alone this dead thing?After such a long time, he was able to force the six of them back with one move. Presumably, the top-quality spirit stone should be used as the core of the puppet formation.

The ultimate spirit stone is different from ordinary spirit stones. The reason why it can be called a treasure is that besides the pure aura contained in it, which can be transformed into mana with just a little refinement, there is also the most special point, That is, even if the aura in the spirit stone is exhausted, it can recover.Of course, this recovery speed depends on the surrounding environment. Where the spiritual energy is rich, it recovers quickly. If the surrounding spiritual energy is lacking, then the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is naturally much slower.

Zhang Shiping stretched out his hand, and the snowflakes fell on the palm, which turned into ice water in the remaining warmth of the palm, and wisps of spiritual energy rose up,

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping frowned, this is not good news.The spiritual energy is strong, and the puppet is in the palace in the valley. Within the formation, the recovery speed of the spiritual energy in the top-grade spirit stone in the body is not slow.If they want to exhaust its aura, the few of them will force the puppet to make continuous attacks in a short period of time.When the spiritual energy in the spirit stone is exhausted, the puppet will naturally be useless.

The reason is very simple, if the six of them work together, they may not be unable to succeed.

It's just that in the gray light that is suspected to be the mysterious light of Yuanci, he is sure to protect himself, but the five of them don't know.But thinking about it, the situation wouldn't be too ideal, after all, fellow Daoist Min of Ming Xinzong lost half of his palm, and if he had any means, he wouldn't be in such a situation.

"Fellow daoists, how about giving it another try?" Zhang Shiping suggested aloud, still unwilling to give up.

"Zhang Daoyou, don't be in a hurry, wait for me to adjust my breath for a while, and then we can discuss it." Min Caiquan shook his head. His palm was swept by gray light just now, and all of his flesh and blood were wiped out, not to mention the mana in his body. It also seems to be banned.It wasn't until he took the elixir and forced out the black energy that had invaded his body that the situation got better.

Although he seems to be fine right now, but this is just his forced appearance. In this state, he is not sure that he can avoid the gray light.Besides, besides the gray light, there may be other dangers, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.

After Min Cai took all the elixir, he concentrated on refining it, and the power of the medicine began to circulate in the body along with the mana.

"Min Daoyou and fellow Taoists, I think we don't have much time right now, look at the surrounding mountaintops." Zhang Shiping suddenly changed his expression, pointed to the opposite side, and said with a wry smile.

As soon as the words fell, some blue light spots appeared in the distance, and the stars began to shine.The expressions on the faces of the others were not so good when they saw this scene.In just a few breaths, those light blue spots lit up, obviously these things were coming towards them.

"Lonely Chilling Cicadas always like to live in groups, but I didn't expect the ghost pheasant to retain the previous habits of Chilling Cicadas after possessing them. This would be troublesome!" Gu Quan, who is proficient in repelling insects and beasts, leaned heavily on the snake-headed crutches, The chilling cicada's body was incinerated before, and some powder was left, which floated up with snowflakes.

These light blue light spots are exactly what Ji Ling Hanchan is emitting from.They formed an array to kill most of the chilling cicadas before, but a small part escaped and became fish that slipped through the net. Now it seems that they attracted the nearby chilling cicadas.

However, perhaps it was because of the mass formations that surrounded and killed them earlier, the Lonely Chilling Cicada that flew from a distance did not pass by them, but flew towards the valley from another direction.

The speed of gathering was not fast, after a short while, groups of seven or eight, dozens of them flew into the valley, perched on the bare branches, the shining blue light reflected the white snow, looking quite beautiful and elegant.

According to this situation, in another ten days or so, a swarm of hundreds of thousands of insects will gather in the valley.

"Brother, how many more times can we use the formation?" Wang Daoxiu asked casually.

Zhang Shiping sighed secretly.Even if the utensils for the formation of the true flame and evil spirit array are not cultivated, so what if they can be used hundreds of times?If the few of them were dragged down by the chills, the situation would only get worse.No wonder the three of them came once before and returned without success. Zhang Shiping also understood this in his heart.

Master Huo Ming frowned, he didn't answer Wang Daoxiu's question, but muttered a few words to himself, and said pointedly:

"It's strange, it's really strange! This really shouldn't be. By the way, Gu Daoyou, don't say that the green snake has not yet developed its intelligence. The old man still knows a little bit about the skills of Daoyou. The spirit snake you cultivated with the secret method should With a trace of your soul, it is a different kind of avatar, did you really not find the puppet in the light curtain?"

"What does Fellow Daoist Huo Ming mean?" Gu Quan didn't get angry directly after hearing what Huo Ming said. He frowned and said calmly.It's just that the tone is not that good.

"It's not interesting, the old man is just asking casually, just asking. Since we have discussed before, let Gu Daoyou come to explore the way, then ask Daoist to drive the spirit beast into the valley again, and find out how it is?" Huo Ming The real person said calmly.

"Since Fellow Daoist Huo Ming said so, the old man will just use the green snake again. It's just that the green snake really didn't find that puppet inside the light curtain." Gu Quan took a few steps forward, hunched over all the year round His back also straightened a little bit.He sent out the Green Snake and several Black Scaled Snakes earlier, and they were also sent out again.

After hearing Huo Ming's question, Zhang Shiping and the others were a little dazed.

Chapter 450

After the green snake came out of the imperial beast bag, it coiled around Gu Quan's wrist habitually. It shook its head, stared at Gu Quan and vomited the snake letter. It seemed a little strange that it had only slept in the imperial beast bag for a while. Hey, why did you let it out again?

The spirit snake has been cultivated by Gu Quan for many years. Although it does not hibernate like ordinary snakes, it does not like this kind of cold environment.

Gu Quan caressed the shiny body of the green snake, took out a light yellow pill the size of a longan and fed it, and after comforting the little guy, it swam towards the valley again.

A winding snake path was left on the snow, and it entered the light curtain after a while. As before, the green snake did not attract the puppet's attention.

Master Huo Ming didn't say anything to provoke Gu Quan at this time, he stroked his short beard three times, put his hands down, and showed a pensive look.Seeing this, Zhang Shiping moved a few steps lightly, and came to the real Huo Ming with his expression unchanged.

After half a cup of tea, the figure of the green snake appeared outside the light curtain. After it came out, it walked quickly across the snow, and within a few breaths, it came to Gu Quan's feet, holding the green snake in its mouth. A piece of black lacquer, and then it stood upright and shook slightly, as if asking for credit.

Seeing that the green snake had gained something, Gu Quan showed a smile in his eyes. He took out a pill, and the green snake spit out this long thing, and then it hissed.

Everyone present knew some animal language more or less, and everyone listened very carefully.After the green snake stopped making a sound, Gu Quan leaned on his crutches and looked around the crowd, showing a little helplessness, and sighed, "Dear fellows, my little snake has been wandering around in the formation for a long time, but still I didn't find that puppet. The old man's skills are not good enough to make everyone laugh, and I apologize. If there is anything to gain this time, the old man will be the last choice."

"Everyone, although the Qingjin Spirit Snake is good at entering the forbidden area and exploring secrets, no one knows what methods the ancient monks will leave behind in the cave. Fellow Daoist Gu has also tried his best. Now that this is the case, the most important thing right now is to discuss what to do. Also deal with this puppet." Perhaps because of his friendship with Gu Quan for many years, Jin Datong stood up and said a few words for him.

"I'm really sorry, everyone." Gu Quan put away the green snake, with a somewhat apologetic expression on his face.

"You can't blame Gu Daoyou completely. At this time, everyone should think about how to deal with the current situation, otherwise we will return without success." When Min Caiquan saw Jin Datong speak, he also stood up. After all, Gu Quan It was Zongmen Keqing, the two of them called here, and he couldn't let Gu Quan lose face.

Seeing that Min Caiquan and the other two also came forward, Zhang Shiping and his party had no intention of tearing their faces apart, so they didn't go any further.

Only then did Gu Quan perform the imperial object technique again, and grabbed the things on the ground. Just in case, he didn't touch them directly with his hands, but looked at them for a long time from the air.This dark thing seems to be a black iron stone.There are some lines on it, but it doesn't look like it was artificially portrayed later, but it has a natural charm.It's just a pity that the iron stone seemed to be broken by someone, and the lines stopped abruptly when they reached halfway.

He looked at it for a long time, and then said with a somewhat uncertain tone, "This thing is somewhat similar to black chalk. Fellow Daoist Huo Ming, you have seen a lot, let's see if this is right?"

After finishing speaking, the iron stone flew towards Master Huo Ming and Zhang Shiping, but in the middle of the journey, Master Huo Ming waved his hand and sent the iron stone back to Quan. He said unhurriedly:

"Wu Chalk is the superior spiritual material for refining earth-attribute magic weapons. This kind of spiritual material itself has an extremely restrained aura, and you can't see anything just by looking at it from the outside. This old man has only heard about it, and has never seen it. Chalk, don't look at it."

"The old man has seen the spiritual material of black chalk several times. As fellow Daoist Huo Ming said, this kind of spiritual material has a restrained aura and is no different from ordinary ores. You can't see it, but it just so happens that I once I have learned a method of sacrificial refining, and I can draw out its aura with pill fire, I will know after I try it." Jin Datong saw that Taoist Huo Ming didn't give face, so he fought between the two out of the psychology of good old men.

He sucked the black iron stone with one hand, and the red pill fire rose out of thin air, completely enveloping the iron stone.Jin Datong didn't even shy away from others, he muttered loudly, cooperated with the hand formula, and fired several flashes of spiritual light one after another, blending into the pill fire, the pill fire turned golden, and then the flame suddenly shrank, completely melting into the black iron stone among.

After a few breaths, a strange fragrance emanated from the iron stone, permeating the air nearby, Zhang Shiping's expression changed, the aura shield around his body did not have the slightest isolation effect, he immediately closed the tricks of the whole body, rounded Ruyi, then he flipped his hands and released four blue frost swords, the sword light was clear, one of the flying swords stabbed towards the back of the real Huo Ming without hesitation, and the remaining three turned into blue light, spinning around him stand up.

Master Huo Ming seemed to have been prepared for a long time, but he didn't care about the flying Qingshuang sword, but stretched out his hand and grabbed it forward, pulling and pulling, and there was a black thing in his hand. Constantly struggling and rolling.At first glance, it turned out to be a small snake with the thickness of a thumb.

The head of the snake was firmly pinched by Master Huo Ming, but during the tumbling, the snake's tail coiled around the wrist of Master Huo Ming, and the snake's tail suddenly turned into a snake head, biting fiercely towards the back of Master Huo Ming's hand.

Before the black snake bit down, flames burst out from the black snake from the inside out, burning it to ashes.

With a sound of "噗嗤", the Qingshuang sword pierced through a black snake, and beside Zhang Shiping, dozens of thin black and red segments of different lengths fell out of thin air.

However, the others were not so lucky. Jin Datong was the most affected by the strange fragrance. He just took a sip, and he felt like he was in a trance. He was bitten by several black snakes in a trance. The complexion turned black and purple in an instant, and the aura on his body became weaker by seven or eight points.

Min Caiquan beside Jin Datong, for some reason, his face was pale, and he couldn't mobilize any magic power. He could only watch helplessly as an arm covered with black scales was inserted fiercely from his dantian, and came out through his body. A golden round pill.

Gu Quan, who was still apologetic just now, his upper body was covered with black scales, and his lower body turned into a thick long tail with a snake head at the end, breathing out black gas. He was still at the early stage of Jindan, and his mana It suddenly increased sharply, and the breath became cold, as if it was a different person.

The golden elixir in his hand shone brightly, as if it was about to detonate the mana inside the elixir, Gu Quan grinned, showing his long tongue and sharp teeth, the black glow in his hand flickered, and the golden elixir fell silent.Seeing the cracked eye sockets, Jin Datong summoned his magic power, sacrificed a white seal stone, flew out from his palm, became the size of a millstone against the wind, and smashed it hard at Jin Datong.

Gu Quan didn't dodge or dodge, he pulled out his arm, held the golden elixir, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and punched towards the seal stone. Jin Datong was afraid that he would damage Min Caiquan's golden elixir, so he had no choice but to forcefully stop the attack of the magic weapon. The magic power was reversed, and the breath became weaker. Gu Quan was not surprised by this. He knew Min Caiquan and Jin Datong very well.

Just when Gu Quan was proud, a sword light flashed and slashed obliquely towards his head, clanging and splashing out with sparks.

The snake-headed crutch that was originally inserted on the ground suddenly flew up, blocking the Qingshuang sword driven by Zhang Shiping.

But at the next moment, Gu Quan suddenly felt severe pain, and his arm holding Jin Dan had been severed.Zhang Shiping held the severed arm, opened his fingers, and took off Min Cai's Quanjin Dan.

"Zhang Daoyou." Jin Datong shouted, hoping that Zhang Shiping would show mercy.

Chapter 451: The Power of Thunder

Zhang Shiping threw the severed arm in his hand casually, and before it landed, strands of black flames emerged from the severed arm, burning it to ashes from the inside out.

He secretly sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that this trip was actually a trap carefully arranged by others, and he didn't expect that Lian Xiuwei, who was in the middle stage of Golden Core, met Min Caiquan and turned here.If he and Brother Huo Ming hadn't discovered something was wrong in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to deal with it calmly.

Earlier, Master Huo Ming stroked his short beard three times, or Zhang Shiping rubbed his temples, these two inconspicuous movements were the secret signals they agreed upon.

The two of them made an appointment out of the necessity of being defensive.If any accident happened during this trip, they would be each other's horns and help each other. The two of them did not tell Wang Daoxiu about this.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Jin, I'll keep Daoyou Min's golden core first, and we'll talk about it later!" Zhang Shiping responded casually without being distracted.He stared at Gu Quan, watching his every move, as if waiting for something.

The golden elixir in his hand has not moved at this moment, the spirit enshrined in the golden elixir has already fallen into a deep sleep, Zhang Shiping slightly shook it with mana, and Min Caiquan woke up leisurely.As expected of the Jindan Daoist, he understood his situation in an instant, did not do anything unnecessary, and immediately sent his spiritual sense to Zhang Shiping and said: "Thank you for your help, fellow daoist, be careful of the gray light in the valley and the strange fragrance. Mixed into a strange poison, it will ban the magic power of the soul, so be careful."

After thinking about it, Min Caiquan understood why he was powerless, so he made a long story short and told Zhang Shiping without any reservation.Now whether he is dead or not, it all depends on Zhang Shiping, a mid-Gold Core monk.

"Understood, Fellow Daoist can't help you much at this time, let's stay in the magic weapon for storage for a while." Zhang Shiping responded, took out an empty storage bag, put it in and put it away into the white jade belt around his waist.When taking the golden elixir in, Zhang Shiping moved a little bit, causing Min Cai's whole mind and soul to fall into a deep sleep again.

Before breaking the pill and becoming a baby, the soul of the monk has no physical protection, so it is much more fragile, and Min Caiquan has no resistance, so Zhang Shiping made it fall asleep very easily.

Jin Datong took several pills in a row, temporarily suppressed the poison in his body, and nodded gratefully.He also knew that Brother Min's physical body was not so easy to get back, and he was seriously injured, unable to keep the golden core, so it would be safer to put it with Zhang Shiping.Of course, if Zhang Shiping regretted it afterwards, he had no choice but to be more straightforward. After all, he was dead or alive, and now he had to rely on Zhang Shiping a lot.

Seeing that his arm was burnt to ashes, the black scales on Gu Quan's face swelled and became extremely ferocious. He grinned and said, "How dare you...well, what a Zhang Shiping!"

There was a strange look in Gu Quan's eyes, and while he was speaking, he suddenly threw out several black flying forks, which turned into cold black lights, and flew towards Zhang Shiping and the others.

"Bang" and "clang", after a few muffled sounds, the flying forks thrown by Gu Quan were knocked into the air by several people, and each flying fork was broken into several pieces and fell on the snow.

After doing this, Gu Quan was not as arrogant as before. He flicked his long tail and sprinted towards the valley, but when he was about ten feet away, his figure suddenly stagnated, and he fell into the snow, gliding Zhang Xuyuan.

Immediately afterwards, a giant colorful python appeared out of thin air, its long body twisted and twisted, and Gu Quan was tightly guarded.

But Zhang Shiping's figure disappeared in place at some point, and appeared in the valley the next moment. Before the giant python could react, dozens of sharp sword lights flashed like a thunderbolt, instantly cutting him into dozens of sections .

How can Zhang Shiping see a mere snake demon in the realm of fake alchemy.If after a while, this monster snake's cultivation level improved further and survived the thunder calamity, it would still make him look high.

The reason why cultivators are divided into different realms in the world of cultivating immortals is because the gap in strength increases the further one goes to the back.After all, fake pills are just fake pills, and they are still in the foundation building stage.

All of a sudden, the snow in the valley was covered with blood, like red plum blossoms.

In the rain of blood, only a long tail with black scales attached to his waist was still swaying, but Gu Quan had long since disappeared.But Zhang Shiping didn't feel the slightest surprise, nor did he hesitate at all, he stretched out his hand and the Qingshuang sword flew in his hand.

The next moment, on the ground in front of the light curtain, a column of black flames suddenly appeared, and an extremely short wailing sound faintly came from the flames, "Save..."

Heiyan soared into the sky, and driven by Zhang Shiping, it turned into an angry dragon of Heiyan and slammed into the light curtain.

The loud bang of "rumbling" startled the lonely cicada attached to the tree.

As soon as the black dragon came into contact with the light curtain, the entire pale light curtain was like a calm water surface, as if someone had thrown a boulder into it, and there were continuous ripples scattered in all directions, as if they were about to burst at any time.

And inside the light curtain, a group of black shadows suddenly appeared, and after a long time, the light curtain stabilized.

Zhang Shiping waved his hand casually, a thick black and red blood on the sword flew down into the white snow, Zhang Shiping said quietly: "I will not bother fellow Taoist to care about it."

In fact, Zhang Shiping didn't want to be in the limelight from the bottom of his heart, he even wanted not to do anything out of the ordinary, and it was best to be on the sidelines.A monk can only have a better chance of saving his own life when he encounters danger by keeping enough backup players. Hundreds of years of painstaking practice are so difficult, but often it only takes a moment for these hard work to turn into flowers in the well.

But right now, in this situation, I can't do anything but if I want to do something, then I don't need to show any mercy!When the flying sword attacked Gu Quan earlier, his Qingshuang sword was already contaminated with the egg poison of the phantom locust. After the poison came into contact with the blood, it invaded the heart veins, making him fall into a trance, and fell with Gu Quan. The previous methods are somewhat similar, which can be regarded as retribution!

Everyone just glanced at it, and almost bit off their tongues in shock, and then they all showed joy.

Daoist Huo Ming and Wang Daoxiu seemed to see the shadow of Tianfeng Patriarch Jindan in Zhang Shiping, and their hearts were awe-inspiring.When Zhang Shiping burned and killed Ke Qing Mu, they knew that Zhang Shiping was capable, but they didn't expect that a monk in the middle stage of Jindan would not be able to survive a few tricks in his hands.

And Jin Datong was even more overjoyed, he didn't expect the situation to change so quickly, the lives of the two senior brothers were guaranteed with this reputation, so naturally he didn't want to die if he could survive.

Holding a long sword, Zhang Shiping stood on top of the red snow, looked at the light curtain and said indifferently: "Fellow Daoist, don't you show yourself yet?"

After more than ten breaths, no one responded to Zhang Shiping.With heavy eyes, he said, "Since fellow daoist won't show up, then Zhang will leave."

He stretched out his hand to grab the half of the corpse on the ground and put it into the storage magic weapon. After doing this, he left in a hurry. As for the snake-headed crutch magic weapon in the black flame, Zhang Shiping didn't rush to collect it.

Chapter 452

"Is Zhang Shiping from the Cuizhu Valley of Xuanyuanzong, I remember you. Gu Quan is really unlucky. I thought I could have a few golden pills and blood food today, but it's a pity!" Zhang Shiping just returned On the stone steps, a dull voice came from the light curtain, with a hint of joking tone.

"I didn't expect that Gu Quan would collude with monsters. Why don't fellow daoists show up so that Zhang can see your true face." Zhang Shiping said coldly.

The black shadow in the light curtain just now was two or three feet high. It looked like a big black clump. Couldn't tell what kind of monster it was?

"Forget it, I'm not sure to keep my fellow Taoist, how about you and I let go of today's matter?" The monster monk behind the light curtain responded very simply.

The black flames burned the ground into a glazed shape, and the snake-headed walking stick on it flew into the light curtain, but Zhang Shiping didn't stop it.

"I don't know your name, can you tell me?" Zhang Shiping raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Scattered monsters in the wilderness are not worth remembering by fellow Daoist Zhang. If there is a destiny in the future, I will definitely see you again!" There seemed to be a chuckle coming from the valley. The voice was rough before, but now it was gentle, neither male nor female!

Monsters can't be justified by common sense. There are many androgynous species in the world. After they become demons, they will naturally be unable to distinguish between males and females.Besides, some monks have become neither male nor female from the inside out because of their skills.

"You guys go first!" Zhang Shiping was not interested in fighting the monster any more, he said to Huo Ming and the others, telling them to go first, and he stayed at the end, lest the monster go back on its sneak attack.

After a while, Zhang Shiping and the others left the valley and walked towards the stone pillar.
