longevity road trip

In this thought, Zhang Shiping unknowingly walked out of the mountain and stepped on the loess road at the foot of the mountain.

After two days of thunderstorms, this loess road, which had been strengthened by earth and stone spells from the beginning, was inevitably full of mud.Zhang Shiping didn't want to make himself too dirty, so he soared into the sky suddenly, flew over several mountains in a row, and not long after, he flew over Chongling Mountain, and he knew that Zhang Hengren was meditating in the side hall with a single movement of his consciousness. Immediately, the sound transmitted to him, and then floated down in front of the main hall of the Shanding clan.

Zhang Hengren, who was practicing in the hall, suddenly opened his eyes, got up quickly, and came out to meet him. He stepped over the threshold, each step was about two feet wide, and soon appeared in front of Zhang Shiping.

"Greetings to the ancestor." Zhang Hengren saluted.

Zhang Shiping responded, he looked at Zhang Hengren, who was now gray and old, with a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He passed Zhang Hengren, walked to the front, and said in a calm tone: "Come in, these few years have been fine."

"It's all good, but some little guys are a bit domineering, so it's good to teach them a little more." Zhang Hengren said softly, and when he laughed, his wrinkles deepened.

Chapter 576

The two passed through the curling green smoke rising from the bronze incense burner in the temple, and sat cross-legged on the futons respectively. Zhang Shiping sighed softly:

"Time flies. It has been more than 150 years since our Zhang family moved here from Baiyuan Mountain. I have worked hard for you all these years. I think you were not as tall as my shoulders back then, but now you are old in a flash."

"Old Ancestor, I moved here from Baiyuan Mountain at the age of 16. It has been 150 years, and now I am 170 years old. How can I not be old? It is not as good as my ancestor. In a few years, I am afraid to see I don’t see the old ancestor anymore.” Zhang Hengren said with a smile, although he is old, but he still has some vigor, and he doesn’t look lifeless.

Infected by his laughter, Zhang Shiping said with a smile on his face: "You are like this, I also want to ask by the way this time, let's see who among the boys in the clan can get in." In your eyes, find someone suitable to replace you as the patriarch. You are so old, and you should go to enjoy the happiness."

"I'm enjoying the blessings now. In a few more years, I can still hold on." Zhang Hengren shook his head and refused.The Zhang family is also a Jindan family now, and as the patriarch, his cultivation level must not be too low, otherwise he will not be able to make things difficult for the outside world, and he will not be able to suppress some unruly people internally.But now in the family, apart from a few old guys like them, there are a total of twelve members of the Tianzi generation and the Zhizi generation who have built foundations, but each of these people is working hard to practice.

When Zhang Tianya was the patriarch before, it was Zhang Hengren who assisted him at the side. He had been the patriarch for decades, and he didn't know what to do if he was put down for a while?Of course, apart from this point, he is still somewhat selfish. He is in charge of the big and small affairs of the clan. The satisfaction of controlling everything cannot be brought by his cultivation base during the foundation establishment period.

Zhang Shiping also saw Zhang Hengren's nostalgia for the position of the head of the Zhang family, but he didn't object, it doesn't matter if he has some selfishness.

Anyway, as long as Zhang Hengyun is willing to do these chores, then he will naturally not disagree!Just keep vigilant in my heart, don't be blinded by these things in the future, and be greedy for power and position.

The essence of power lies in the two points of influence and control. A smile makes the world happy, and an anger makes the world happy.

And monks use their cultivation to attribute the power in the world to themselves.It's just that they don't really want to live in those secular dynasties where the aura is thin.If there were auras everywhere in the secular world, perhaps Nanzhou would not have the appearance of thousands of countries, but a unified dynasty would appear.

As for the power of the secular people, it needs to rely on foreign objects such as military power and property.

In the past few decades, the secular dynasty established by the Zhang family has changed for several generations, and it is naturally contaminated with some blood.

The Zhang family in Chongling Mountain didn't want to interfere with these trivial matters at first, as long as the person who ended up in that position was of the blood of the Zhang family.However, the dozen or so Zhang Family Qi Refining Cultivators who were sent to serve as enshrined by the royal family inevitably got involved later for various reasons.

About ten years ago, Zhang Hengren saw that the commotion was too violent, and it was too ugly to say that the family's face was too ugly, so he took a few juniors of the family to go there, and then suppressed it.

Looking at the rise and fall of dynasties in the world, we can see that a real dynasty is bounded by about 70 years.This period of time is completely different. At the beginning, the aristocratic family was lurking. After decades, they slowly took control of the court, and they will start to test. If the royal family is weak, they will intensify. If the royal family is strong, then they will dormant again.

The state of Zhang established by the Zhang family today is almost on this boundary, advancing and retreating within a single thought.

Zhang Hengren briefly said these things, Zhang Shiping just shook his head after hearing this, and didn't care.

The rise and fall of dynasties in the secular world is just following the way of heaven. If you want to find a way to transcend, it is as ethereal as a monk becoming a fairy.In Zhang Shiping's mind, it doesn't matter if Zhang Guozuo survived for one or two hundred years, or two or three hundred years. In the end, it was just an inevitable result.

After the two talked for a while, there were two voices, one male and one female, coming in from outside the hall.

"Come in when you're here." Zhang Shiping said loudly after hearing the voices of Zhang Tianwu and Zhang Tianya, and after realizing the cultivation of the two, his face became even more joyful.

Soon, a burly man with a copper-black complexion walked in from the outside, and walking side by side with him was a delicate-looking female cultivator.

These two people came to Zhang Shiping, bowed and said: "Meet the ancestor, congratulations to the ancestor for making great progress, Yuanying is hopeful!"

"Sit down. It's fine for outsiders to talk about these polite words. Why bother to talk about them as a family? Rather than expecting me to conceive a baby, it's better to hope that you two can form an alchemy, then I will be satisfied!" Zhang Shiping signaled the two of them to sit down, even though he said so, the joy on his face did not diminish at all.

Zhang Tianya sat down with a smile on her face, while Zhang Tianwu remained silent, exuding a suffocation unconsciously.

The two of them are not young now, they are both 30 years old, and their cultivation base in the later stage of Foundation Establishment is the highest cultivation base in the Zhang family besides Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Tianya just reached the ninth floor of the foundation building a few years ago, and has not yet started to condense mana, while Zhang Tianwu is a few years older, but his cultivation base is weaker. 20 years ago, he finally broke through to the foundation building with Mu Xuanningsha later stage.But since then, he seems to have encountered a spiritual barrier.

After so many years, he has only taken a small step forward now, breaking through to the eighth floor of the foundation.If it goes on like this, maybe it will take another 30 to [-] years to reach the ninth floor of the foundation, and then rush to condense the mana again before the longevity is exhausted, and rush through the tribulation in desperation.

Most of the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment are like this. If you fight hard, you will become a golden core real person, and your lifespan will last for hundreds of years. If you fail, you will naturally become a pile of ashes.

Of course, in the world of cultivating immortals, the majority will always fail!

"By the way, what about Hengyun, why hasn't he come yet?" Zhang Shiping said suddenly, before leaving the valley, he passed two jade slips, one to Zhang Hengren and the other to Zheng Hengyun.

"Uncle Zheng went back to his hometown in Wangyue County, Yu Country a few years ago. He said he dreamed of his parents and wanted to go back to worship." Zhang Tianya said worriedly.

Thinking day by day, dreaming at night, but as far as the spirit of Jindan cultivator is concerned, it is not easy to dream easily, so Zhang Tianya is a little worried about Zheng Hengyun, thinking that he is depressed.

"It's good to go back and take a look." Zhang Shiping remembered that many years ago, he saw Zheng Hengyun as a child in the small mountain village. The wolf howled under the tree.

Chapter 577

"Yes, it's good to come back and take a look." Just as Zhang Shiping was recalling the past, a faint voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and the green smoke in the back hall gradually condensed into a figure.

"Who is it?" Zhang Tianwu, who was silent at first, suddenly gathered evil spirits all over his body. He stared at the person coming with a fierce look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

The other two also sacrificed their magical weapons, and only waited for Zhang Shiping, the patriarch of the family, to give an order, and they attacked impressively!

At this moment, Zhang Shiping stared intently at the figure, but he didn't move. Instead, he said to the surprise of the three present: "Put away all the magic weapons, you have nothing to do here, get out!"

The three Zhang Family Foundation Establishment cultivators showed surprise on their faces, but still followed the orders of their ancestors without hesitation, but looked at the figure in the hall that was about to solidify with some trepidation.This person should also be a Jindan real person, and probably the ancestor's enemy, otherwise he would never dare to act so arrogantly.

After a few breaths, the figure finally solidified, and the face of the visitor was fully revealed in front of everyone.

"You..." Seeing this person's face, Zhang Hengren couldn't bear the shock and anger in his heart. Zhang Tianwu and Zhang Tianya also recognized the person, but their doubts could be seen from their eyes.

I saw that this person was seven or eight points similar to Zhang Shiping in appearance, and the clothes on his body were also similar, all in green robes.

"Look, even if this junior recognizes me, why don't you call me Patriarch?" The man walked up to Zhang Shiping with no one's attention, sat down cross-legged, and said jokingly.

"Qin Feng, what are you doing here?" Zhang Shiping took a deep breath, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and said indifferently.

"Why, old ancestor, can I come back to the clan and take a look? I haven't seen you for 20 years, you kid has reached the late stage of Jindan, it's not bad, you didn't disappoint the old ancestor!" Qin Feng looked at it like a toy , looked Zhang Shiping up and down, stroked his chin and said.

However, Zhang Shiping did not respond to Qin Feng, but looked at the three Zhang Hengren who were on the left and right, and said with some urging: "What are you still doing here, go down!"

"Why did you tell them to go down so soon? Did you not want these juniors to know me? Just listen to me, after all, they are just like you, and they are bleeding from me!" Qin Feng said playfully, he lightly With a light wave of his hand, Zhang Shiping suddenly felt as if there was a heavy burden on his shoulders, and Zhang Hengren's three foundation-building monks couldn't even move.

Then Qin Feng said here, paused for a while, twisted a few beards in his hand and said: "Don't call me Qin Feng, old man Zhang Shilong."

He then looked at Zhang Hengren, then turned his head to look at Zhang Tianya and Zhang Tianwu, and shook his head with some disappointment: "Are all the foundation establishments in the clan like you now? There is not even a single one who has completed the foundation establishment and is expected to form alchemy. It's really disappointing!"

Zhang Shiping mobilized his mana and released the spiritual shackles around him.He leaned forward slightly, stared at Qin Feng angrily, and said in a blunt tone: "The Nanfa Hall has been opened, if you don't go there, what kind of tricks do you want to play here?"

"This is the Zhang family, and I am the ancestor of the Zhang family. Is there anything wrong with coming back? But since I'm here, I don't want to be empty-handed. I'll give you this gadget!" Qin Feng flipped his hand and took out a flashing light. There was a black shadow floating in the round bead with a hazy purple light, exuding a faintly ominous aura, which made the hall feel a little bit cold all of a sudden.

He weighed the purple bead in his hand and threw it forward casually.

Zhang Shiping took the purple bead, when he saw the black shadow in the bead clearly, it was a ghost transformed by his apprentice's remnant soul.

His eyes were bloodshot all of a sudden, and the blood vessels and tendons on his sideburns even sprang up.But soon he closed his eyes, and opened them again after a few breaths. At this moment, he could not see the slightest emotion such as sadness, joy, anger, and hatred in his eyes. ripple.

"I see, did you treat Uncle Xu like this in the past?" Zhang Shiping put away the purple bead with his hands, and said in a calm tone.

At the time of Zhengyangzong, there were Changshen Patriarch, Yuanying Zhenjun, and seven Jindan Daoist, including Chang Younian, Xu Youdan and others.It's just that there are some foundation-building disciples serving under the Jindan real people in the sect, but Xu Youdan lives alone in the lake mountain, and there are not many people under his command.

Originally, Zhang Shiping thought that Uncle Xu didn't like trivial matters in the family, and that's why he was content and clean.In the past, when the Wanjian Sect attacked, Uncle Xu even used some excuses to transfer him away, and entrusted Master Yujie to let him practice in Hujia Village for several years with peace of mind.

It's just a farewell in the past, and after he formed the alchemy, he has not received any repayment, but he suddenly heard the bad news from the mouth of Zhen Yujie.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there is a saying that people with broken souls will not enter the underworld and never reincarnate, but the underworld is just a rumor, so no one can be sure about the theory of reincarnation.

However, Xu Youdan was convinced that he would not spare this body, so he used his own soul as a guide to perform the "Journal of Saving Human Beings" to make up for the remnant soul of his fiancée who had turned into a ghost, giving him a chance of reincarnation.

His fiancée is the real sister of Dang Yujie!

Hundreds of years ago, the Yu family was also a strong foundation-building family in the Zhengyang Sect. The Lingshan where the Yu family was located was not far from the Zhengyang Sect. The family members refined a ghost that was close to the golden core stage, but after Zhengyangzong investigated this matter, they couldn't find out who did it, and finally nothing happened.

And since then, Xu Youdan, who had just formed the alchemy, has no intention of practicing since then, and the realm has been lingering for hundreds of years, and it is still the early stage of the golden alchemy!

After Zhang Shiping knew about this, he actually had many doubts in his mind.

One is the ghost king who is comparable to Jindan monks in the world of cultivating immortals, which is not common. If you can use the magic circle, you can raise a head that is about to grow with the flesh and soul of a dozen monks at the foundation stage and hundreds of monks at the qi refining stage. The ghost king who has crossed the robbery, then Nanzhou is afraid that ghosts are rampant!Another point is that Zhang Shiping is a little strange. The ancestor Wang of the sect didn't notice this kind of movement of closing the mountain?

But after seeing this purple bead, after he suppressed the resentment in his heart, everything suddenly felt a sense of clarity.

If these things are all caused by Qin Feng, it is not difficult to explain. When this person was in Baimang Mountain, his cultivation base should be around the middle stage of Yuanying, otherwise Wang Patriarch would not be blind !

Qin Feng smiled when he heard the words. He had three more simple copper coins with a square inside and a square in his hand. He tossed them casually, and the copper coins fell on the green bricks with a tinkle. He looked down, then picked it up, and So repeated five times.

"Hey, it's still the same. Look at the above and below, the old bird burns its nest, and all attempts are in vain. This is the hexagram of a great evil!"

Chapter 578

Zhang Shiping glanced at Qin Feng, frowned and said.Zhang Shiping's eyes didn't reveal the slightest resentment or murderous intent. He didn't understand what the other party's intentions were, but he knew that the person opposite him was a complete lunatic. What kind of master-student relationship, what kind of blood relationship, these things maintain the world Emotional ethics are nothing but things that the other party lends for pleasure and indulgence.

He said very calmly: "Where is the remaining soul of my apprentice, or do you want me to do something before you are willing to return it?"

Zhang Shiping can behead other monks without blinking an eye and crush their souls, so who cares if these people can reincarnate?But he couldn't bear and didn't dare to gamble on the theory of reincarnation. After all, it is the relationship between a master and a disciple in the first life. It would be the best if he could make up the soul of his disciple. Give!

Tens of years ago, Zhang Shiping learned some secrets about transforming gods from the mouth of Venerable Xiao, the so-called method of enlightening the void, he knew that maybe it was just suitable for this kind of person, he was obsessed with the Tao.

"This person has three souls and seven souls. Once he dies, the seven souls will be scattered in the vast sky and the earth. What remains are the three souls of Taiguang, Shuangling, and Youjing. The old man tried to separate the three souls of this girl. It took ten years, but unfortunately I shook my hand at the last moment, and the effort fell short, and the feeling of Shuang Ling disappeared. Shi Ping, do you know that the methods of refining souls and raising ghosts that have been circulated in this world are too extreme? It's rough." Qin Feng said the back, and even without any scruples about his posture, he half-lyed back on the ground and laughed wantonly.

In the main hall of the Zhang Family, there are two monks in Tsing Yi who are of the same blood, compatible and similar, one is expressionless, and the other is unruly.

As for Zhang Hengren and others who were bound by spirit energy, they were still unable to move, but after hearing some secrets that they didn't know, their eyes were full of astonishment!

Seeing that Zhang Shiping remained calm and his expression didn't change at all, he suddenly withdrew his smile, slapped his palms on the ground, and his upper body immediately stood upright, then he twirled the copper coins in his hand like a butterfly piercing flowers, and said with a laugh:

"Okay, old ancestor, I'm starting to like you, remember, that's what I want! This is worthy of being the descendant of my Qin Feng, much better than that kid Xu Youdan. At that time, the old man put this soul orb in front of him At that time, that guy chose to escape, and even erased his memory afterwards. A coward who deceives himself is really not worthy of being the old man's disciple! But seeing the decades of mentoring, the old man I still went to the West Desert and snatched half of the book of saving people, that kid really thought it was some kind of strange method, so he really did it according to the method above, it's really ridiculous, it's really absurd!"

When Qin Feng said the word 'absurd', there was an indisputable indignation in his eyes. He waved his sleeves, and a white light flashed. Spread it out slowly, only to see the word "save people and break disaster" at the beginning.

"What's so absurd about this? People like you who kill your master and father will never understand Mr. Xu, and you won't understand me. Even if you become a god of transformation one day, or even an immortal, you won't understand this kind of thing. Emotional, it’s really sad. Do you really think that Qin Xiangshan cursed you by saying that you have no hope of Yuanying for the rest of your life? Actually, have you ever thought about what he might have counted, and that’s why he just doesn’t want you to become a Yuanying. Now you, It's just living for obsession, which one is you, is it ridiculous?" Zhang Shiping stretched out his hand to put away the volume of scriptures, held it in his hand, looked at Qin Feng and said lightly.

"Why, you have practiced the glazed body, and you have also learned the sharp tongue of those bald donkeys in Ximo? What is obsession, what is cultivation, come and argue with me when you reach my level. You are not Xuanyuanzong Inheritance, it is destined to have no relationship with its inheritance technique "Taixuan Zhenjie", but if you can conceive a baby, you should be able to learn the first two layers, so as to clarify your mind and righteousness, get rid of the influence of this glazed body, and avoid being Once it is gone, there will be no more self." Qin Feng said sarcastically with a twitch of his mouth.

Yan Yulou could tell at a glance that Zhang Shiping's body training method had traces from the Western Desert, and Qin Feng, a late Nascent Soul cultivator with a higher cultivation base, could also see it.In addition, in the past few years, he deliberately got to know Zhang Shiping, and knew that he had practiced the "Colorful Glazed Body" skill.

This technique originated from the White Horse Temple in the West Desert. The practice before the Yuanying period was just to lay the foundation for the monks. The eight Ming kings behind it are the real secrets that are not passed on.Those old bald donkeys once invited him to be the guardian of Jialan

"But if you have used the Book of Saving Human Beings and your soul is incomplete, you will not be able to survive the next Nascent Soul Tribulation and Thunder. If you want to save others or save yourself, you have to think clearly?" Seeing Zhang Shiping holding the half volume of the Book of Saving People In the hand, Qin Feng's face suddenly changed, and suddenly became as cold as ice, which caused snowflakes to float in the family hall.

"I don't need you, an outsider, to worry about what I want to do. Don't talk too much about other things. People like you don't go to Nanfa Temple, but come here today. It shouldn't be just to take a look, right? The old bird burns its nest, the hexagram of the volcanic journey, are you afraid?" Zhang Shiping didn't even lift his eyelids, after putting the scriptures of saving people into the treasure of storage, he lightly picked up a white snowflake.

"Yes, I'm afraid. A traveler is in a hurry, and it's easy to be plotted by a villain. The opening of the Nanfa Temple is likely to be the means of the venerable. I still have a few days to live, so I don't rush to go there. As an ancestor, I also teach You, if you encounter something that is not right, it is better to wait for a while. Those old guys on this trip will go to explore the way first, and I will go there again, just to solve this next hexagram." Qin Feng said very readily Admittedly, there was no shame in it.

He went on to say: "The so-called 'saving people and breaking evil' in this book of saving people, even a complete secret method can't do 'breaking evil'. In the final analysis, it is just a way to complement others with your own soul." The remnant soul is a magic spell for people to cross the catastrophe. However, in the world of immortality, the method of replenishing the soul is not only the mantra, such as the "Soul Cultivation Wood", one of the three legendary woods, it is not a mixed soul Ebony can't compare."

"Soul-nourishing wood, one of the three legendary sacred trees in the world of cultivating immortals since ancient times. It can be worn on the body to nourish the soul and spirit, and gradually strengthen the spiritual consciousness. It can also live in the soul and ensure the function of keeping the mind alive." Zhang Shiping Frowning, he remembered the introduction he had seen in the classics.

"There is a soul-cultivating tree in the depths of the Skeleton Ridge in Nanfa Palace." Seeing Zhang Shiping's expression, Qin Feng stood up lazily and said.

"You guys, take your ancestors to the ancestral hall?" Qin Feng loosened the restraints on the three of Zhang Hengren, turned around and said.

The three of Zhang Hengren did not respond immediately, but looked at Zhang Shiping.

"Your surname is Qin, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to enter the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall!" Zhang Shiping looked at Qin Feng's back and said.

Chapter 579 A Leaving Banquet

"Then you little fellows, change your surname to Qin." Qin Feng paused and said coldly with his back to everyone.

Zhang Shiping looked serious, and after a few breaths, he said word by word: "The ancestor of the Zhang family is always Zhang Shilong, his surname is not Qin."

All of a sudden, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Zhang family, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.

Qin Feng suddenly raised his head, and laughed loudly, his voice was like thunder, and it spread throughout the entire Chongling Mountain, startling an unknown number of birds. After the laughter stopped, he said in a cold voice: "Now the little The world is no longer in the ancient times, and the family has a golden core, so if you really want to have a baby, don't hold it tightly."

Then he turned his head slightly, as if he wanted to continue to say something, but in the end he remembered something, and disappeared in the same place in a flash.

Zhang Shiping breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Ancestor, is that really?" Zhang Hengren asked in a low voice, and Zhang Tianya and Zhang Tianwu who were standing beside him also showed strange expressions.

"There is no such thing as luck or misfortune, only people call themselves, you all remember, our surname is Zhang." Zhang Shiping glanced at the three of them, and said solemnly.

He didn't want his family to have anything to do with Qin Feng, not because he was selfish and reluctant to be called the patriarch of the family, but because Qin Feng was too surly, and his cultivation was so advanced, he could see that he had nothing to do with him. There must be a lot of monks he has turned against. If the Zhang family gets involved with such people, it will be a disaster for the family at every turn.

The sect and the family have a big business, and they have too many worries, so what is said is that peace is the most important thing, and at least superficial work should be done well.But casual cultivators are different. Qin Feng acts alone, acts insolently, and the cultivators who have turned against him and survived are well-behaved cultivators, at least they are Nascent Soul cultivators.The small boat of the Zhang family can't withstand such a big storm.

In fact, if Qin Feng was like the ancestor of the Yan family, and had an extra ancestor of Yuanying to protect him, then Zhang Shiping would not mind his surname.But he understands that people like Qin Feng who give up their love and heart just treat everything in this world as a game to pass their lives.When the other party gets tired of playing the game, most of the rest are wreckage.

"You guys go down, don't talk about this matter with others. As for Qin Feng, if you can't control it, then leave it alone, let him go." Zhang Shiping said a little tiredly.
