longevity road trip

Only half an hour later, a certain group of white clouds floating above Jinsui Island suddenly froze.

"It seems that this person has already left." Bai Yunzhong was the middle-aged monk before him, and he said in a calm tone.

Chapter 519

Zhang Shiping only knew that some monks had been to Jinsui Island and Unnamed Desert Island, but he didn't know who they were.After all, he was just a Golden Core cultivator, and it would be good if he could get some news from a distance of [-] to [-] miles through the spirit insects forbidden by his own blood.

He was heading towards the direction of Nanming City, and he was flying with the Ming Xinzong and others in the wind.

When he was resting in the middle, he let these juniors of Ming Xinzong control the flying boat, and he meditated on the flying boat to recover the lost mana.Zhang Shiping didn't completely exhaust his mana before going to meditate, but every time after about three or four days, he took the four of them and fled for about [-] to [-] miles, and when his own mana was consumed by one or two levels, he stopped. Come down and let these juniors drive the take-off boat.So repeatedly, galloping non-stop.

It's not something to lose face about.In Canggu Ocean, any accidents may happen. Zhang Shiping, a Jindan cultivator, must always maintain his best condition to deal with these things.

With such mutual cooperation, the group of them did not stop all the way, flying away like a meteor chasing the moon.

In fact, this is also why some Jindan masters like to bring a few foundation-establishing disciples with them when they go out to hunt sea beasts and monsters.Although these juniors don't have enough mana, they are more or less useful.At the very least, they can cooperate with the Jindan cultivator to arrange formations, and they can also take turns flying around like Zhang Shiping and his party, without having to think about where to stay.

It wasn't until about seventy to eighty thousand miles away from Nanming City that Zhang Shiping calmed down and was no longer as fast as before.

They rushed all the way before, and they didn't see half of the light in the sky over the vast Canggu Ocean for several days.But as they got closer and closer to Nanming City, from time to time they could see various lights from a distance.

And in order to prevent being attacked, Zhang Shiping opened up his divine sense, and he knew all the troubles within tens of miles within a short time.Several days passed like this, some human monks saw Zhang Shiping and his party from a distance, they did not approach, but flew away from a distance.

As for those sea beasts, because the group of them hardly approached the surface of the sea, even if these sea beasts could jump up or cast spells hundreds of feet away, they would not be able to reach Zhang Shiping and the others.

They flew all the way, only one night, two four-winged big leech monsters made a surprise attack in the middle of the night, but Zhang Shiping used the Qingshuang sword to cut off the two wings of one of them with lightning speed.

They ran away in a panic, Zhang Shiping retrieved the two wings that fell towards the sea with the imperial object technique, and he didn't chase and kill the two leeches anymore.

For the sake of the safety of Ming Xinzong's descendants, Zhang Shiping prevented those monsters from using the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to lure him away. Instead of chasing and killing the opponent, Zhang Shiping flew away from the spot.

The dangerous things in the ancient ocean are not only brought about by those sea beasts and monsters. The monks who are also human races will also kill each other because of some interests and hatred.Therefore, even if they are both human races, if they are not familiar with each other, the two parties will not approach each other rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

These things are the most normal. They have nothing to do with good or evil morality, but they are just the way of heaven.

However, it is also the human society, which needs to be more orderly, while the sea and monster races are more naked and straightforward.

But the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats dried shrimps. In the final analysis, it's just a different way, and it's going on in a softer and more acceptable way.

In the secular dynasties, from the princes and generals down to the head of the Li people, each has its own different title, and everyone is used to it.But once these titles came into being, it had already signaled the formation of society, and what was even more frightening was that once those chiefs of the Li people naturally called themselves by it, they willingly bowed their heads and worked day after day.

The horizons of these people are tightly restricted, and their thoughts are completely rigid and imprisoned.Because they are always turning around for basic necessities.

The largest and most inferior group of people, compared with those who are high above and only a handful of beings, they can always get the material that they live on, which is always pitifully small, or they can only maintain Food and clothing, or even food and clothing can not be satisfied.The most creepy thing is that what they can see and hear is always what others want them to see and hear.

Day after day, year after year, these people will be honest and well-behaved, no matter how much they beat or scold, they will not turn back.Even if a small number of them died of starvation, unjust death, or tragic death, it would only become a joke in the tea room of others.Unless the vast majority of people have nowhere to go, then everything will start again.

But even if the world is rebuilt and the dynasty is overthrown, it is just that some unwilling people have been replaced and become new nobles, and a small part of those old existences have disappeared, and the rest are just remodeled and live in the world again. After entering this new world, he is still aloof.

In a stable society, the weak will not necessarily become the strong, but the strong will definitely become stronger.

Just like the secular lineage of the Zhang family who established the country, at first they just incited those mud-legged people to be the pioneers, to be the top birds, while they themselves sent out their children for the sake of the family's wealth, and they went to join each other.

However, when the water was turbid and the sky was dark, the patriarch of the Zhang family saw that everything could be done, so he hurriedly sent people to the Chongling Mountains in Binhai City, and obtained the consent of Zhang Tianyu, the head of the Zhang family at that time. Kneeling and persuading him, he repeatedly shied away, and finally had to add the yellow robe as a last resort.

After he took that position, every few years, he would request to meet Zhang Shiping, the patriarch of the family, but this person failed to do so until his death.

Among the Zhang family's millions of clansmen, there are less than 2000 people with spiritual roots, most of them are fake spiritual roots, and these people are the real clansmen in Zhang Shiping's heart.

……

……

After six days.

Zhang Shiping flew all the way with the four members of Ming Xinzong, and he avoided two fights one after another. One of the fights was that there were all kinds of magical artifacts flashing, and all kinds of spells and talismans were scattered, boom boom boom boom It was extremely lively, but after all, it was just a battle between the monks who established the foundation.

It was the second time, not far from a small island, he saw two fellow daoists in brocade robes set up a Liukui Yuan battle formation and tied up a big monster with a long tail of blue scales and the blood of a dragon.One person controls the magic circle outside, and the other enters the formation to fight against the big monster, consuming the big monster little by little in rotation.

The aura fluctuations and the aura of the magic weapon when they fought were blocked by the formation and did not spread completely.Zhang Shiping still happened to be passing by, and only then did he perceive those slight aura fluctuations several miles away.

These two brocade robed monks, because of the formation, had already discovered Zhang Shiping and his party seven or eight miles away.

However, there was no conflict between the two sides, the two Jinpao Daoist stopped to let the big monster in the formation breathe for a while, and Zhang Shiping didn't come closer, and left with a blank expression, as if he didn't see anything.

After arriving at Nanming City, the two parties separated. After being sent here, the four of them will go to the Jindan cultivator of Ming Xinzong, and Zhang Shiping doesn't need to worry about it.

He didn't take a break, but immediately went to Qingyu Patriarch's small courtyard, but after waiting for more than an hour, but still didn't see anyone, Zhang Shiping thought for a while, then headed towards the Red Moon Tower in the city.

Chapter 520

After decades of long wars, the number of human monks in Nanming City has not decreased in the slightest, and the same is true of the monsters hiding under the sea and hiding on the island.Perhaps the biggest difference between this time and the past is that there are many more news about those big monsters being killed, or about a real person dying.

Especially in the past three or four years, the life lamps of sixteen or seven Golden Core monks in Nanming Island have been extinguished and their soul stones have been shattered.Of course, apart from these bad news, several Jindan real people finally broke through the bottleneck. In the middle and even late stages of promotion, even a Taoist friend of Mingxin Sect had Jindan Consummation. Infant, became the aloof Yuanying Patriarch.

In addition to these high-level monks, there are also some foundation-building monks who have made great strides forward, and finally broke through to the golden core stage, and have lived for hundreds of years since then.

The good news one after another, after some publicity, spread to everyone. In this way, some Foundation Establishment cultivators in Nanzhou were attracted to stand on the sidelines, and some of them were tempted by it, and they came one after another.

But only the monks here can truly feel the perishability of life.The loess on the practice road rose up, and the white bones could be seen, stepping on it hard, every step was bloody.

In the carriage, Zhang Shiping closed his eyes and rested his mind. He tapped on the window side of the car, carefully thinking about some things about himself and his family in the future.

The Zhang family has been rooted in the Chongling Mountains in Binhai City for more than a hundred years. When his father decided to move his family from Baiyuan Mountain, he and Zheng Hengyun were the only two Foundation Establishment monks in the family, but the situation is very different now. Same again.

Thinking of this, some smiles appeared on the corners of Zhang Shiping's mouth, he finally lived up to his father's confession before his death all these years.

The only regret is that among the descendants of the Zhang family, there is no Golden Core cultivator.In the eyes of outsiders, Zheng Hengyun, the Jindan real person, is almost surnamed Zhang, but Zhang Shiping understands that he is no longer the child he took away from the mountain village in the past.

If Zheng Hengyun wanted to stay, Zhang Shiping would naturally welcome him.But if one day he leaves, then Zhang Shiping will also give him a ride.

There is always a banquet in the world. The fate in the world is easy to get together, and it is best to break up easily. You can't force it to stay!

Among the descendants of the 'Heng' generation, there are not many foundation builders, only eight of them.

Among these people, Zhang Hengren, the previous patriarch of the family, and five other old guys who have no intention of practicing are still helping the current patriarch Zhang handle some family affairs.Although these people's cultivation bases are just like that, they are very old-fashioned when it comes to handling family affairs.

As for the three Foundation Establishment cultivators headed by Zhang Hengli, they went out together a long time ago.The Zhang family is still unable to supply a large amount of panacea, and forcefully pull the cultivation base of these foundation-building monks to the golden elixir realm.Even if it could be done, Zhang Shiping would not do it like this.

Whether it is a sect or a family, it is not uncommon for people to be separated due to uneven rewards and punishments.

Just looking at them, Zhang Shiping sometimes felt emotional in his heart, if he hadn't got the bronze lamp, then at most he would be just a foundation cultivator.After all, there are so many monks who vainly seek immortality, who is truly immortal now?

Even if he was lucky enough to form a pill, he would probably be very old by then.Forming alchemy in the prime of life and forming alchemy in old age are two completely different concepts.

The path of practice is one step slower, and then one loses. There is almost no hope of surpassing, and more will only be pulled further and further away, and then watching the backs of others gradually go away, leaving regrets in my heart. I just sighed, 'I tried my best, and my life should be like this! '

However, these little fellows of the 'Tian' generation in Zhang's family were helped by several elders of the 'Heng' generation in the past, and Zhang Shiping was promoted to the middle stage of Jindan later. Life is getting better every day. Among them, there were many more people who built the foundation, and there were eighteen people.

Among the disciples of the 'Heng' generation, Zhang Tianyu had the best opportunity, and she was the first one among her peers to build a foundation with mediocre aptitude.But in terms of xinxing, Zhang Tianwu is none other than Zhang Tianwu. He can use the 'Mu Xuanshen' body training method to build a foundation, and his xinxing can be described as tenacious.

But Zhang Tianhong, who has the best qualifications, made Zhang Shiping rather dissatisfied. This son in the sect has the support of the inner sect and the family. Now 70 to [-] years have passed, and it is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

As for himself, although his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Golden Core for a long time, it will not be possible to break through to the late stage in a short time. He can feel the existence of a bottleneck, and he has tried several times without success.And after what happened to Qin Feng, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would occasionally think of it, so that he couldn't calm down to practice. Even if he forced himself to meditate and practice Qi, the efficiency of this day was not as good as the one or two in the past. Time accumulates a lot.

Even in the Nine Birds Mystery Realm, he couldn't feel peaceful because of this, and the divine pattern on the Kunpeng's wings was forgotten in a blink of an eye, wasting a chance that was once in decades.

Although the senior Xiao once warned him, don't be too obedient in cultivation and lose your true temperament, otherwise your heart will be dusty and you will miss your cultivation. For the present plan, he must let himself calm down and think about himself Things to practice in the future.

Although "Wan Jiansheng" is the famous attacking method of Venerable Wan Jian, what Zhang Shiping got was not complete. Zhang Shiping didn't get the matching method of forging flying swords in "Wan Jiansheng", as well as the secret method of divine consciousness for cultivating flying swords, so he couldn't exert the power of this method.

As for perfection, there are only two methods left.First, it was obtained from Yuxing Zhenjun. With Zhang Shiping's current cultivation level, this method is tantamount to courting death.And the other is to see if they can meet some disciples of Xuanmu Sect, Luofeng Sect, and Caixia Valley.Zhang Shiping believed that although the three factions were defeated, they would not be completely annihilated. There would always be some true disciples and Jindan elders who escaped. Feijian's secret method of divine consciousness.

"Maybe it's time to send someone to investigate. It's been more than a hundred years now, and these people must have let go of their guard." Zhang Shiping closed his eyes, tapped his fingers on the window sill, and thought to himself.

As for the "Five-colored Glazed Art", because of his limited cultivation, if he wants to go further, he will have to wait for him to advance to the late stage of Jindan.There is no rush for this matter.As for the "Breaking Evil Dharma Eyes", he has even prepared the most difficult to collect Five Elements to Mu Xin, so he can start to practice the second level.

As for his major practice method "Fire Crow Jue", he should start looking for it in the Sutra Pavilion of the Zongmen, otherwise he should ask the two ancestors Du Yu and Tianfeng.The Xuanyuan Sect has been passed down for so long, and there are so many classics. Even if there is no kung fu that is connected to the "Fire Crow Jue", it must not be difficult to find a fire movement kung fu in the Nascent Soul Stage.

Just when Zhang Shiping was thinking about the matter, the coachman who was driving the carriage stopped slowly with a 'wow'.

"Elder, the Red Moon Tower is here." The coachman said softly outside the curtain.

Chapter 521

"En." Zhang Shiping opened his eyes, responded, and then got out of the carriage, and walked into the Red Moon Tower under the eager guidance of a young man from the Red Moon Building.

As soon as he entered the door, a grey-haired steward trotted over immediately.

"If you are far away, if you are really far away, don't blame Zhang Zhenren." The black-clothed manager cupped his hands and said, his voice was neither high nor low, and the smile on his face was very real, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

Zhang Shiping nodded in response. Although he didn't have any expression on his face, he was quite satisfied with the attitude of this steward in his heart. After all, a man has a face, and a tree has a skin.

The steward in black had long memorized the voices and appearances of the Jindan Nascent Soul cultivators in the city, and even wrote down their preferences one by one.He knew that the elder Zhang of the Xuanyuan Sect liked to be pure, so he gestured to the left and right with his eyes, and told the young servants in blue and the maidservants in colorful clothes to retreat.Then he led Zhang Shiping to a private room with 'Fire Cloud'.

The Red Moon Building on Nanming Island is eighteen stories high, majestic and majestic at the top, even the palace buildings of Xuanyuanzong and Bixiao Palace are three points behind, it can be said to be the most conspicuous building in the city.

Zhang Shiping has been here more than a dozen times over the years, and he already knows the layout of the building well.

Most of Hongyuelou's business is actually concentrated in the first six floors.However, the biggest difference between the back floors and the front is that there is a barrier between every three floors, which separates practitioners of different cultivation levels.Zhang Shiping, a Jindan cultivator, has only been to the No. 12 floor at most.

As soon as he entered the private room, the steward led Zhang Shiping to sit down, and after a few breaths, there were four handsome maidservants, each with tea and fruits in their hands, and placed them gently. , quietly retreated.

"Master Zhang, you haven't been here for a long time. Do you need to buy some spiritual items this time?" The steward in black clapped his hands, and the restriction on the 'Fire Cloud' private room immediately rose, and then he smiled. asked.

"The old man came this time not for any spiritual objects, but to inquire about some things from Guilou." Zhang Shiping said without changing his expression.

Zhang Shiping thought for a while, and then said: "The old man wants to inquire about a formation called blood and soul refining, I wonder if you have heard of it in your building."

"This... I'm getting old and my memory is bad, so I can't think of this kind of formation for a while. Master Zhang, please wait a moment, this junior will go to the secret library to check it myself. I'm really sorry!" The black-shirted manager just He still had a smile on his face, but his expression froze when he heard that the blood was refining the soul. Although it was only for a short moment, Zhang Shiping had already seen it.

"It's okay, let's go, remember to hurry up." A strange look flashed in Zhang Shiping's eyes, and then he chuckled.

"Really, please sit still for a while!" The steward in black immediately stood up, holding a ruby ​​token, ignoring the restrictions of the outside world, and walked out.

Zhang Shiping, who was sitting on the armchair, shook his head lightly, picked up the teacup at hand, brewed it a few times, and drank half of it.

"Interesting, interesting, as expected, Hongyue Tower not only knows about this kind of magic circle that can steal people's cultivation, but also taboos it very much." He put down his teacup and thought to himself.

Zhang Shiping put down his teacup, closed his eyes and meditated, and it was time for a cup of tea in a flash, he still had an unhurried expression, until suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at the door.

I saw a flash of inspiration in the quiet room, and two people came in from the outside.

One was a middle-aged monk in a red cloak, and the man behind him was the old man in black who had just returned.

"I've seen Zhenjun Fengxuan." After seeing the person coming, Zhang Shiping immediately stood up and cupped his hands.

"You don't need to be so polite, sit down. I didn't expect that I was just transferred to Nanming City, and the first thing I encountered was about my little friend. By the way, you can go out, Manager Chen, and you don't have to follow this matter. "The middle-aged Nascent Soul cultivator nodded, and then sat down. Obviously he knew Zhang Shiping, and then he gave orders to the steward in black.

When Zhang Shiping first met this Fengxuan Zhenjun Xuanqing, it can be traced back to nearly 200 years ago.At that time, he came to the South China Sea for the first time not long after the foundation was established. When he teamed up with others to hunt sea beasts, he slaughtered a second-level blue iron bull monster with the blood of Kui Yao. Yuanying Zhenjun of the Kui Yao clan was beheaded in the air.Fortunately, he was in the Red Moon Tower at that time, and this Fengxuan Zhenjun helped him, so he escaped the catastrophe by chance.

However, Zhang Shiping still doesn't know that he suffered an unreasonable disaster at this time.That second-rank blue-iron cow monster is just an ordinary sea beast. At that time, the three demon kings of the sea clan, Ao Ji, Ye Lian, and Kui Zi, came forward not for it at all, but to find Ao Ji of the black dragon clan. daughter.How can an ordinary sea beast be compared with the daughter of a demon monk?

At that time, no matter which cultivator who established the foundation hunted and killed the green iron bull demon, as long as he brought it to Xiaofeng Island, then the three demon lords would have an excuse to attack, attracting the attention of the cultivator Nascent Soul of the human race, and then secretly looking for.

Don't think this temptation, this excuse is useless.When the two races were at war, if there was no such excuse, these demon kings would cross the Nanming island chain and enter the inner sea, then they would be besieged and killed by the human monks, or they would have been attracted by several venerables. If he kills them, even if they are the opponent's monster masters, there is no reason for them to come forward.If these Yaozun want to get back this breath, they have to focus on other things.

But now the two venerables Xuanshan and Xifeng have left, only Hongyue is left, so that he has fallen into a situation where he cannot support himself.Otherwise, how could Hongyue be so generous, taking out Tianhua Pill, which was a first-class treasure in ancient times, to ask Fellow Daoist Xiao in Northern Xinjiang for help?

"I'm bothering you, senior." Zhang Shiping's eyes became even more serious when he saw that this usually prudent steward looked like this.

"Of order." Steward Chen complied with a low eyebrow and walked away quickly.

Seeing that Steward Chen walked out, and there were only him and Zhang Shiping in the private room, a gleam of blood flashed in Xuan Qing's palm. The slap of an ordinary person is three points bigger.The surface of this jade plate is as smooth as a mirror, but there are densely packed, tadpole-like small runes in the jade, which manifest from time to time, exuding an extremely agile aura, it is actually a formation plate of the level of a magic weapon.

This kind of formation plate is more difficult to sacrifice than ordinary natal magic weapons, this is the first time Zhang Shiping has seen it, so he can't help but take a few more glances.

"Little friend, put your hands on this blood moon plate first." Xuan Qing said in a deep voice. He didn't mention the matter of refining the soul with blood, but suppressed his smile and stared at Zhang Shiping expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping remained silent, and according to Zhenjun Fengxuan's words, he pressed his right hand on the blood moon plate.

After a few breaths, a layer of clear spiritual light rose from the blood moon disk, gradually becoming dazzling.

At this time, there was a smile on Xuan Qing's face again, he put away the blood moon plate, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's good if it's not those rats. I just don't know where the little friend knows Blood and soul refinement and other evil methods?"

Chapter 522 The Third Nascent Soul Demon Soul

Seeing Zhenjun Fengxuan's expression returned to normal, Zhang Shiping opened his mouth and told all the things he had met with the Ming Xinzong people before.At this moment, after the four of Zhang Jingyuan returned to Mingxinzong's residence, they might have told the whole story to several fellow Taoists of Mingxinzong.In addition, Zhang Shiping also mentioned Cao Qi and Jiuxuan Pavilion.

However, family ugliness should not be publicized. The few Jindan Taoist friends of Ming Xinzong in Nanming City will definitely not say a word to the outside world.These things are reasonable, Zhang Shiping should not say a word, otherwise Ming Xinzong's face will be damaged, and a matter of kindness will turn into a hatred in the end.

Of course, if Hongyuelou was just an ordinary shop, then Zhenjun Fengxuan would have no reason to ask Zhang Shiping these things.After all, in business, there is no way to get to the bottom of it!But this Hongyue Tower is different. Now that the two clans are in a stalemate, the Red Moon Tower can still command Xuanyuanzong and Bixiao Palace in a sense.

As the Nascent Soul cultivator of Hongyue Tower, Fengxuan Zhenjun is not just a shopkeeper, not to mention Zhang Shiping, if he really cares about it, Qingyu and Duyu will have to give it to him on the bright side. He has a bit of face, and since Mingxinzong came to Nanming Island, it is also considered to be under the command of Hongyuelou in name.

It can be said that in Nanming City and even Nanzhou, as long as it is about the matter of Hongyuelou, other sects who want to reject it have to weigh it again and again, so as not to cause disaster.

"These things you said were all obtained from the soul search of that Ming Xinzong disciple named Chen Bin?" After hearing what Zhang Shiping said, Zhenjun Fengxuan said, frowning slightly at Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping nodded, and at the same time thought in his heart that the manager just left with an excuse just to invite Zhenjun Fengxuan to come over, it seems that this blood soul refining circle is indeed something that cannot be done.On the way back to Nanming City, when he talked with the juniors of Ming Xinzong, he asked them many things unknowingly. A lot of things are confirmed.
