longevity road trip

But once Zhang Shiping makes a move, the movement caused will definitely attract the thousands of evil wings in front of him, and Zhang Shiping doesn't believe that there are only a few thousand evil wings in the passage.

Zhao Wuxie said earlier that the three of them were protected by the ancient treasure fire Linglong, and they had only walked about a mile, which was only a little over 150 feet, and they had no choice but to back away, and now he has only walked a few dozen feet far away.

In the map left by Mr. Xu, it is clearly drawn that this forbidden passage is ten miles long. Behind the passage, the evil wings born from the evil spirit are definitely not the thousands in front of us, otherwise it would be difficult. Block Zhao Wuxie and the others.

Seeing these two-winged fire snakes getting closer and closer, and the dozens of evil wings about ten meters away from him seemed to have sensed something, spewing out this thin orange-red flame from their mouths, and also swam towards him.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping was ready to kill these evil wings at any time, and then immediately withdrew and exited the passage.

It was just unexpected that when these evil wings touched Heiyan, they swished and dodged one after another, and then plunged into the wall, as if they were extremely frightened.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping couldn't help showing a strange look on his face, but then his face showed a look of joy.Although I don't understand why these evil wings hate Heiyan so much, but it is a good thing no matter how you look at it.Originally, he came this time just to give it a try.This kind of ancient cave mansion that has been preserved so well for a long time, how can it be so easy to enter.

If it was replaced by other monsters, then Zhang Shiping would definitely not be so happy. After all, monsters are just like humans, as long as they are wise, they may perform some conspiracies and tricks.But these Huo Sha monsters only acted according to their instincts. He had never heard of evil wings giving birth to spiritual wisdom in the world of cultivating immortals.

However, he didn't rush forward, but following the movement of his divine sense, a few strands of flames were separated from the shield around him, condensing into several fire crows with wings spread a few feet long, and flew towards the evil wings ahead.

As the fire crow flew by, the evil wings flapped their wings and moved away, and the middle of the passage was instantly vacant.Zhang Shiping's eyes flashed, and he controlled one of the fire crows, and rushed towards the evil wings clinging to the wall.The moment it was about to hit the wall, the fire crow exploded with a 'boom' and turned into a fire net, covering several evil wings that had no time to hide in the stone wall.

These evil wings seemed to be extremely afraid of the black flame, and they spewed out demon fire from their mouths. The black net was filled with a ball of orange-red demon fire that was constantly rising. It suddenly shrank a few minutes.

"Chichichi..."

The evil wings in the net turned into green smoke in a blink of an eye and disappeared.

After confirming that Black Flame was extremely restrained against Evil Wing, Zhang Shiping strode forward.

It's just that he didn't deliberately provoke the remaining evil wings, and there was no need to do so. As long as there is still Huo Sha in the cave, these evil wings will not really perish.

As he walked, the densely packed evil wings that filled the entire passage quickly flew away when they were about to touch the black flame.

Soon, Zhang Shiping saw the end of the passage, where the red light was flickering, extremely dazzling.When he was still tens of zhang away from his head, he felt heat waves rushing in, filled with extremely pure fire aura, which was actually a little more pure than his Green Fire Valley Flame Tan.

Zhang Shiping couldn't help squinting his eyes. In the ancient ocean, generally blessed lands with abundant aura, there are very likely to be monsters.So he didn't go any further, and then stopped directly at the spot, released his consciousness, and moved forward.

It's just that as soon as the divine sense left the body, Zhang Shiping immediately let out a muffled snort. He felt that his divine sense had triggered some kind of restriction, and was bounced back, making his energy and blood turbulent, and the blood vessels on his forehead even sprang up. .

After a full two cups of tea, he finally regained his strength.

Zhang Shiping looked ahead, took a deep breath, then walked forward, and soon walked the last distance of tens of feet, and there was an extremely solid red light wall at the exit.When his divine sense touched this wall of light earlier, it was immediately bounced back.

And because of the blocking of this light wall, Zhang Shiping couldn't see what kind of scenery ahead.

In front of this wall of light, Zhang Shiping suddenly thought of something, turned his hand and took out a piece of red stone slightly bigger than his fist, and then searched the surrounding area up, down, left, and right.This red stone was pressed on the animal skin map before, although Zhang Shiping felt that it was just a very ordinary jade stone, but just in case it had other uses, he also kept it.

Given the current situation, this humble red stone might be the key to unlocking the restriction!

Only two hours later, Zhang Shiping was holding the stone in his hand, and stood there frowning.He didn't find a gap that matched the red stone near the exit. After thinking about it, he walked through the passage again, and went out of the stone gate. Searched again, still nothing was found.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Shiping put away the red stone, waved several black flames from his sleeve, turned into a fire crow, spread his wings, and flew towards the light wall.Then he focused his attention on the light wall and its vicinity, not letting go of any abnormalities.

It's just that these few fire crows, after touching the light wall, disappeared without a trace like mud cows entering the sea, without causing even the slightest ripple.

"Didn't any other restrictions be triggered?" Zhang Shiping breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.

Then with a movement of his divine sense, the Qingshuang sword hovering around his body made a clanging sound, and then swung several sword lights, flying towards the four corners and the middle of the light wall.

However, this sword light is the same as that of the previous Fire Crow. After entering the light wall, there is no trace of it.

"There is no spiritual energy fluctuation, what kind of restriction is this?" Zhang Shiping stared at the light wall and said with an ugly expression.

Although he is not a figure at the level of a formation master, he has also studied some formations over the years, and his attainments are not bad.In Zhang Shiping's view, there are only two ways to break the restriction formation in the world of cultivating immortals, one is by force, and the other is by skill.As for those who have already known the formation nodes of the formation, and the aura in the formation, the monks can enter and exit without hindrance, of course, it cannot be regarded as cracking, and it cannot be classified into these two categories.

But no matter whether it is force or cleverness, it is nothing more than breaking the formation or stopping the operation of the formation.

As for the Fire Crow and Sword Light that Zhang Shiping used before, although they are different, they still rely on their own mana.As for the formation, it is the same, it can't operate by itself out of nothing, in the final analysis, it still depends on the aura and evil spirit between heaven and earth.Usually, when a monk casts various methods and his mana consumes the aura in the formation, in order to maintain its own operation, the formation will absorb aura from other places, and there will inevitably be a flow of aura in it, just like water flowing from high to low. Flow is average.

Zhang Shiping originally wanted to take this opportunity to see if the spiritual energy maintaining the red light wall came from the Huo Sha on both sides of the wall, but he still didn't notice any spiritual energy circulating in it.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Shiping wiped the imperial animal bag, and a white light flashed, calling out more than ten first-level and two second-level phantom locusts.Then he thought that the wall of light could isolate the spiritual consciousness, so he injected a few streaks of light into each of these spirit insects, and performed the method of controlling insects, and then he controlled and slowly climbed into the wall of light.

Sure enough, as soon as these phantom locusts entered it, they immediately severed contact with Zhang Shiping.

Let alone the dozen or so first-order phantom locusts, there is a blood contract between him and the two second-order phantom locusts.After beheading Chen Bin of Ming Xinzong half a year ago, Zhang Shiping left a few second-order phantom locusts on Jinsui Island and another unnamed desert island, separated by a blood contract thousands of miles away, and they could still control them. Seeing those spirit insects spontaneously combust into ashes, but now there is only a wall between him and them, and the two have lost contact.

But Zhang Shiping was not in a hurry, after waiting for more than ten breaths, a phantom locust slowly walked out from the light wall.Then, every ten breaths or so, a spirit worm crawled out.

As for seeing that all the spirit insects came back safe and sound, Zhang Shiping's face turned pale.

He sat down cross-legged, stroked his short beard, thought for a while, finally stood up, walked forward, and soon sank into the light wall.

Then Zhang Shiping only felt that his whole body was soaked in a hot spring, and with a flash of red light in front of his eyes, the scenery suddenly became brighter, and nothing bad happened as he imagined.

After the brilliance faded away, Zhang Shiping squinted his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment.This is a huge molten pool twenty or thirty miles wide and about ten miles high. The exit where he is standing is only a hundred feet away from the top of the molten pool.

At this moment, he is standing on a sapphire staircase, which is as wide as the passageway, about seventeen or eighty feet long, and then the sapphire staircase goes down step by step, and the height difference between each step is about three feet. 490 steps, all floating in the air, motionless.

On the other side of the stairs, what caught his eyes was an extremely magnificent and majestic palace, which was hundreds of feet high. The whole body was made of crystal clear red jade, floating on the magma, with a hazy glow Fluorescent, extremely beautiful.

After seeing this palace, Zhang Shiping showed a hint of joy on his face, he didn't expect to come all the way so easy!

But before the joy on his face faded, an old voice came from the palace and rang in his ears.

"You have walked for so long in such a short distance. You, a human monk, are too careful. Come down."

Chapter 551

When Zhang Shiping heard the sudden words, he was startled, and suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.It's just that behind him is a passage that is no more than ten miles long. Although the evil wings in it can't help him, if the owner of this voice is a monk Nascent Soul, it can't stop him for a while.As for whether to use Tudun to travel out of this cave, this idea just flashed in Zhang Shiping's mind, and he immediately denied it.Not to mention the Guxiu Cave Mansion, even the Green Fire Valley where he is located is covered with formations to prevent others from escaping.

In this instant, several ideas came to his mind, and he denied them one by one. In order not to make the monk who appeared suddenly feel impatient, Zhang Shiping had to cup his fists first, and saluted forward with his hands folded. Respectfully said:

"This junior is a Jindan cultivator under Xuanyuanzong Qinghe Zhenjun. I thought this place was an ancient cave with no owner, but I didn't expect the senior to practice here. Today, the junior came here uninvited and disturbed the senior's Qingxiu. Disrespectful. After the younger generation returns home, it will be in accordance with the etiquette to send someone to deliver the greeting card in a few days, and then bring the gift to the door."

The other party just said a word, but did not show up, Zhang Shiping still held a trace of luck in his heart.After he finished speaking, he still maintained a respectful look.

"Hahaha, this old man just likes you human monks. He was clearly thinking about how to search for spiritual artifacts. After being smashed by the old man, he can still say so grandly without changing his face. It's really a good skill. This active mind is much better than this incompetent guy." An extremely healthy laugh came from the palace.

But at the end, the owner of the voice paused, "Bang bang..." a few times, as if kicking something again.

Then came a rather flattering voice from the palace: "You old man, talk as soon as you talk, don't keep kicking me. This way you will be tired all the time, why don't you take a rest, or kick for a long time, you will always This foot hurts too. Don't, don't...ah..."

Following this scream, a monster with light yellow fur suddenly flew out from the palace, but the monster seemed to be thrown out, rolled a few times in the air, and finally "bang", four hooves It fluttered into the hot molten pool, and suddenly the fiery red magma splashed in all directions.

At the place where the monster fell, a red and yellow flame ignited immediately, and then it exposed half of its body from the magma, struggling desperately while shaking its head and twisting its neck, while "moo moo moo..." indiscriminately Howling, looking extremely painful.

Zhang Shiping thought there was some deceit, so he took a closer look, and saw that this monster had two grayish-yellow right horns, pointed upwards, with a face like a deer, a back as thick as a bear, and beard-like growths under its jaw and neck. Long drooping hair.

After only having time to glance like this, Zhang Shiping saw a red light flying from the palace, floating three feet above the bull demon's head.After the brilliance faded away, a monk wearing a red feather cloak appeared, frowning at the cow monster, and said with a bit of displeasure: "If you play tricks again, be careful that the old man will just twist your head off."

Then the monk in the red feather cloak floated down, his toes lightly tapped on the bull monster's head, and the cow monster was stepped into the lava several feet deep.Zhang Shiping looked intently at a distance of more than ten miles, and saw that this monk had a feather crown on his head, starry eyes and leopard eyes, and a high nose. Raw wings.

Zhang Shiping's right eyelid twitched several times unconsciously.

"Greetings senior, since you are teaching the younger generation, then don't bother the younger generation." The voice still echoed here, and Zhang Shiping had disappeared in place.

After turning back to the passage of the stone chamber, Zhang Shiping flew straight all the way under the black flames, and after only about twenty breaths, he rushed to a place seventy or eighty feet away from the stone gate.

Seeing that the two huge stone gates with a height of more than [-] feet in front of him were tightly closed, Zhang Shiping immediately swung his sword with hundreds of feet of green light without thinking, and shot towards the stone gates like a torrential rain.It's just that these sword lights dissipated without a trace when they were far away from Shimen.

Zhang Shiping had no choice but to stop in front of the stone gate, without saying a word, he immediately used the method of earth escape to pass through, but this stone gate was as firm as black iron, and there was a faint sense of repulsion.

"Restriction, or something else?" Zhang Shiping muttered with a serious face, but didn't say anything else.

Because at this time, Zhang Shiping couldn't be allowed to think too much, I saw him tear off his green robe, revealing his strong body, then took a deep breath, his expression was awe-inspiring, with an extremely solemn appearance, and then his complexion turned pale. With a glass-like luster, strands of brilliance emanated from her body.

"Drink..." He yelled again, his arms swelled in a big circle, his five fingers became claws, he clasped the embossed pattern in the stone door, and pulled back with all his strength, trying to use his own strength to forcefully The stone door opened.

Almost all of the masters in the Jianghu who cultivate inner energy are capable of carrying a tripod, not to mention Zhang Shiping who has cultivated at the Jindan stage and has achieved body training, his strength is comparable to that of a dragon.

After a few breaths, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of stone grinding, under Zhang Shiping's surprise eyes, the stone door was slowly pushed open a slit just enough to allow people to pass sideways, and he immediately flinched, and in the blink of an eye Appeared outside the stone gate.

But before the joy on Zhang Shiping's face faded, he saw a monk facing away from him in the middle of the square in front of him.This person was raising his head, looking at the swirling red sand on the top of the wall, and then stretched his hand in and cast a beam of fiery light from the upper place.

Zhang Shiping's face became stiff all of a sudden, he turned his hands to support a small red pagoda several inches high, and wielded the Qingshuang sword around him.He felt the lock-in of the energy diffused all over his body, his scalp was numb, his lips were dry, and he secretly groaned in his heart. He understood that the old guy in front of him was definitely a demon monk.

"Greetings, senior." Zhang Shiping cupped his hands and said.Although he knew that he was no match for this monster, Zhang Shiping didn't want to sit still, but he really didn't dare to act rashly this time.

"You human monk, you were full of courtesy just now, and you left without saying goodbye in a blink of an eye, isn't it also a rude thing." Chiyu Yaoxiu walked towards Zhang Shiping slowly, and said softly.

"The younger generation saw that you were teaching the younger generation just now, and it's not good for me as an outsider to stay aside, so I thought of leaving first, and I hope the senior will forgive me." Zhang Shiping's heart sank like water, and he forcefully squeezed out these words from his mouth.

Chapter 552 Bi Fangyan

"Smart teeth, but also a bit quick-witted. Since your kid is working under Qing He, has he returned to Nanzhou with Ao Ji's Man Jiao now?" Except for the pair of red feather wings behind him, the demon cultivator has a compatible face Has been no different from ordinary people.He walked towards Zhang Shiping unhurriedly, looking at Zhang Shiping's black flame shield covering his body, his eyes showed a trace of curiosity.

Zhang Shiping didn't see any movements of the demon king, so he felt that the black flames around him seemed a little out of his control. Sure enough, after two or three breaths, he saw a ray of flames flying from the black flame shield towards his eyes. The monster flew away, and finally jumped on the opponent's fingertips.

Since the collapse of the Ariel Secret Realm 30 years ago, the two big monks Qing He and Ao Ji have disappeared for no reason.Not many monks knew about this news at the beginning, but as time went by, no matter how intense the battle between the two sides was, the two of them never showed up for half a time, which aroused the suspicion of other Nascent Soul monks.

According to the usual practice, the war will last for five or six years at most. In the end, the Nascent Soul monks from both sides will come forward, and the two sides will probably make a little trial, and then withdraw their troops in a very tacit understanding. .

Suspicious for a lifetime, those Nascent Soul True Monarchs naturally tried their best to use their means, and naturally this news could not be concealed.

Now the news of the disappearance of the two big monks Qing He and Hei Jiao Aoji of Xuanyuanzong has been widely known among Yuanying Zhenjun and Jindan Zhenren. Did not feel the slightest strange.

Demon cultivators who have cultivated to his level are no longer those monsters whose spiritual wisdom has not yet been developed.Perhaps this monster had transformed into an adult when he was young, and traveled in Nanzhou and even various secular worlds. He is likely to be more knowledgeable than Zhang Shiping, a young Jindan monk.After all, he really wanted to hide the wings on his back, which was not a difficult task at all.

A Yaojun really wants to hide his identity, unless he is smashed by a monk of the same rank, or he deliberately reveals his flaws, otherwise Jindan monks like Zhang Shiping will never be able to see the other person's true colors even if they are face to face.Although Nanzhou is vast and boundless, there are not too many Nascent Soul cultivators. At least in most secular counties, mortals will almost never meet Nascent Soul True Monarch in their entire lives.

Of course, if Zhang Shiping's spiritual consciousness can go a step further and condense to the perfection of the golden core, then maybe it is still possible to detect it.But when that time really comes, Zhang Shiping will definitely choose to pretend not to see it, it is rare to be confused in the world, one cannot see everything too clearly, otherwise one's life will be too tiring.

As for the anecdotes about a Chinese ghost story, fox monsters repaying favors, and fairies descending to earth that are circulated in the world, most of the stories in these stories are from the lives of young scholars. These delusional thoughts come only after you have had enough to drink.

It's just that those monsters that can transform into adults are either great monsters with unparalleled talents, or monster kings with profound cultivation.For the time being, let's not talk about the difference between humans and monsters, just talk about monks who have cultivated to this level, how can they look at those vulgar mortals.Is this kind of demon cultivator greedy for the perishable appearance and youth of mortals, or do they like the dirty and smelly flesh of mortals that has not been refined by spiritual energy?

"Returning to the seniors, how can the juniors know the whereabouts of this ancestor? As for the one from the Black Flood Dragon Clan, as far as the juniors know, he hasn't appeared in front of the monks in these years, so he probably hasn't come back yet." Zhang Shiping said with a wry smile, he didn't believe that the demon king didn't know about it, and he was just asking casually.Since the monster didn't kill him as soon as he met, it seemed that he had no prejudice against the human monks. Zhang Shiping didn't want to ruin his last chance of survival because of his inappropriate words.

It's just that Zhang Shiping was very worried, whether the other party would feel that he was worthless because he said he didn't know, and then violently attack him and search him out.

Zhang Shiping's heart was a little numb at the moment, but his face barely calmed down, and he paid [-]% attention to guarding against this monster.Although it may be useless, but Zhang Shiping still doesn't want to be caught without a fight, at least he has to fight this monster a few tricks, otherwise his two hundred years of practice will become a joke!

"They were swallowed by Luo Hu, and it really wasn't that easy to get back. It's good if they don't die. But Qinghe has brought your sect's inheritance Lingbao Mingyu Yuanguang Mirror with him, so maybe he can persist Go down. As for that wild dragon, it’s best to die.” Old Huoya said indifferently, while looking at the black flame on his fingertips with great concentration.

The vision of the green dragon chasing the sun more than a hundred years ago directly froze the relationship between these bird demon cultivators and the Jiaolong clan.

"Luo Hu? Is that the legendary Luo Hu that senior is talking about?" Zhang Shiping couldn't help being surprised, and then asked very quickly.

Rahu is a creature that is said to be able to devour the sun, the moon, and travel through the air, and there is no warning every time it appears. Therefore, monks who encounter this thing have almost no way to defend themselves. Even before they are aware of it, they find that they have already Changed place.However, Luo Hu's statement is just speculation by monks in the world of cultivating immortals, because some monks did not die after encountering this so-called Rahu.

These monks were either sent to extremely distant places, and it took decades or even a hundred years to find their homeland, or they suddenly appeared in the same place, but it has been decades or hundreds of years, but They themselves did not notice the slightest abnormality.

Hearing Zhang Shiping's question, Old Huoya ignored him, but still stared intently at the black flame in his hand, with a hint of thought in his eyes, he looked at it for about ten breaths, and finally he drank softly There is a sound of 'transformation'.

Following the old Huoya's soft shout, the black flame on his fingertip suddenly became much stronger.Then, under Zhang Shiping's astonished eyes, the black flame slowly dissipated, and finally turned into three burning flames on the palm of his hand.Among the three flames, the leftmost one is a blue flame, the middle one is a pale gold golden core fire, and the rightmost one is a silvery white cold flame.

"Sure enough it's Bi Fangyan, boy, where did you get it from? Tell me the real source of this fire?" Old Huoya saw the blue flames in his hands and asked loudly, showing a rare sense of urgency.

And after the black flame turned into three, no matter what methods the old fire crow used, these three flames were rootless fires, which were slowly extinguished.

"Bi Fangyan, which one is the senior referring to??" Zhang Shiping's heart sank, but he seemed to have thought of something.

……

……

Chapter 553

"Boy, don't pretend to be confused with this gentleman. You should tell Bi Fangyan's whereabouts quickly, otherwise even if Qinghe is here, he can't protect you." Old Huoya said in a deep voice with a stern look in his eyes.

When the Ariel Secret Realm collapsed more than [-] years ago, hundreds of monks from the mid-stage, late-stage, and even consummation of Nascent Soul were attracted, and Lao Huoya was one of them.It was not born on Chisha Island, but a monster monk who really came from the deep sea islands of the Canggu Ocean.

That piece of world that is still in the wild is far inferior to Nanzhou, where the inheritance of immortality has not been cut off.A long time ago, this old fire crow had reached the late stage of the demon king, but in the following hundreds of years, it still failed to practice to the perfect state, and then set foot on the coveted state of the venerable.

The reasons are complex and complex, but simple is also simple.

Time goes by, the situation changes, and nothing remains the same in the world.In ancient times, there was a lot of aura, and the inspiration manifested. At that time, a stubborn stone on the side of the road was innocently shown, and the sun was fine and the moon was shining. After feeling for a long time, spirituality could be bred, so as to embark on the road of practice and longevity.

These beings, as many as the stars in the sky, comprehend the inspirations of the heaven and the earth, comprehend the Dao to complement their own practice, and step into a higher realm step by step. Therefore, there were thousands of races in the spirit world at that time, and the human race was just a small one living in a corner. The ethnic group is far inferior to the tyrannical ethnic groups such as the unicorn, phoenix, and real dragon.

No matter how great a monk's talent is, he will eventually turn into a pile of loess.

Human Nascent Soul monks usually have a lifespan of 3000 years, while seas, monsters, or other spirits and monsters have reached the fourth level of practice, and their lifespan ranges from 3000 to 4000 years.Comparing the two, the lifespan of the monks who are both in the Nascent Soul realm is undoubtedly much shorter than that of other alien races.

Moreover, the monster tribes also have their own tyranny, like the old fire crow in front of Zhang Shiping, who was born as a fire monster, and he was born as a bird, and he also has good attainments in the method of escape from the wind spirit.Or like Ao Ji of the Black Flood Dragon Clan, with a meager blood of the real dragon in his body, his physical body is tyrannical. Just that layer of black armor, ordinary magic weapons are hard to damage at all, and he lives in the ancient ocean all the year round. Nature is also good.

All kinds of things, these are incomparable to human monks.But why nowadays, whether it is Western Desert or Nanzhou, it is dominated by the human race, and those monsters and alien races are either hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, or they are far away in the ancient oceans, and they are almost useless.

That's because in today's small world, the aura has declined, and the inspiration has long since disappeared, so the ancient method of enlightenment and practice naturally disappeared.However, the practice of monks in this world has not been completely cut off, but if they practice in accordance with the small world at this time, they will be in the Nascent Soul realm at most, and it is almost impossible to transform into a god. This means that monks in the world have a way to live forever. But there is no way to die.

Once a human baby is born, regardless of whether he has spiritual root cultivation qualifications, as long as he is not stupid, he will generally have wisdom, but the monster race is different. Even if they have cultivated to the second level, their spiritual wisdom is only five or six times that of the human race. Children who are about [-] years old are about the same age, but when they reach the third level of practice, that is, the realm of the big demon, they will refine their bones and truly open up their spiritual wisdom.As for the ghosts transformed into rocks, Zhang Shiping has lived for so long in this world where the inspiration is not obvious, and he has never seen them once, so he knows that such ghosts are extremely rare.

Not to mention anything else, just this threshold of wisdom alone has naturally screened out some ethnic groups, and the human race has also stood out because of this, and now it is an even more powerful clan in the world.As for the ten thousand races in the past, they are now collectively collectively referred to as the monster race and the sea race.After all, one ethnic group has one civilization. Once those enlightened clansmen drop sharply or even disappear completely, then the so-called inheritance of civilization is nothing but a joke.
