longevity road trip

Chapter 646

It's just that just after the flying boat couldn't push back more than a hundred feet, a monk in blue clothes suddenly appeared at the stern of the flying boat, seeing the aura around the flying boat as nothing.

"You guys are back. It just so happens that the old man has a place to put his feet down." The blue-clothed monk said without hesitation, and then he didn't see the outside, and immediately sat down cross-legged, looking up at the billowing thunder over the island in front of him.

Most of the attention of the eight people on the flying boat was attracted by Na Danjie, and they were all startled when they suddenly heard the words that were close to their ears.

As for the middle-aged monk standing in the middle of the boat, when he heard the sound, he twisted his left wrist without turning his body, and the short fork in his hand shot backward in an instant.

The flying boat was only about two feet long, and the short fork arrived in a blink of an eye. Only then did the middle-aged monk quickly turn around and look at the person coming.

Just seeing the appearance of the person, the middle-aged monk's expression of guarding suddenly turned into surprise.

The short fork was just an inch in front of the green-clothed monk, and he couldn't move forward any further.

The blue-shirted monk looked at the middle-aged monk with a little satisfaction in his eyes.He raised his hand, flicked lightly at the fork in the middle, and with a bang, the short fork flew back to the middle-aged monk's hand.

"Zhidu pays homage to the ancestor." Seeing this, the person hastily cupped his hands and said loudly.

This middle-aged monk is a foundation-building monk of the Zhang family's "Zhi" generation, and his surname is Zhang and his name is Zhidu.Don't look at this person is still middle-aged, but in fact he is over a hundred years old. It's just that he barely built the foundation when he was in his fifties. The middle stage of foundation building.

So a few years ago, he put aside his family affairs and went overseas with a few friends in search of opportunities.

As for the news of the family's Foundation Establishment cultivator leaving, Zhang Tianyu would naturally send someone to pass the news to Zhang Shiping, Zheng Hengyun and Zhang Tianwu, the three Jindan real people in the family. It has been about eight years since then.

Zhang Shiping saw that after Zhidu took the short fork, the aura of body protection on his body did not dissipate immediately, and his eyes were even more satisfied. He shook his head lightly, and stretched out his hand towards an empty place beside him. Grabbing the ground, the next moment there was a short black stick three or four minutes long with two sharp ends in his hand, and he threw it over casually, and said with a laugh:

"You have been away for a long time, but it seems that the harvest is really good. This short fork is very good. It should have been the natal magic weapon of a Jindan real person before, but the time has passed for about a thousand years, and it fell on the aura. In the thin land, the internal essence has completely dissipated now, and the spirituality is even gone. You still have to sacrifice and practice for a period of time, don't force it anymore, lest you really hurt the root of this magic weapon!"

Seeing that he was so easily seen through by the other party's means of guarding in secret, Zhang Zhidu felt a little relieved.The last time he visited Zhang Shiping, the patriarch of the clan, was nearly 40 years ago, and this time was really too long for him.Although he still clearly remembered his ancestor's appearance, there were too many ways to change his appearance in the world of cultivating immortals, so he had to be careful.

The few of them were able to return safely from overseas, and this kind of vigilance took a lot of credit.

"Meet Zhang Zhenren."

"Meet the elder."

Seeing this, the rest of the people on the flying boat got up early and solemnly bowed their hands.

"Get up, Jingyuan, don't retreat this flying boat anymore, fly forward." Zhang Shiping gave a little support to the crowd, and then ordered to the old man at the bow.

The old man immediately bowed his hands and let the thunder and lightning flash over the small island more than ten miles ahead. He didn't ask any more questions, so he controlled the flying boat and flew forward slowly.

It wasn't until the flying boat was about fifteen miles away from the edge of the circling Jieyun that Zhang Shiping asked Zhang Jingyuan to stop.

More than seventy years ago, Zhang Shiping was still on Jinsui Island, and he saved several Mingxinzong descendants from the bereaved monks, and this person was one of them.After such a long time now, his handsome appearance is no longer what it used to be.As for the fellow disciples who were with him back then, they are not on this boat at the moment.Of the six people on the flying boat today, three of them are disciples of Xuanyuan Sect, two are casual cultivators, and the last one is a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Mingxin Sect like Zhang Jingyuan.

Zhang Shiping looked at the thundercloud and lightning in front of him calmly, with the wind rustling in his ears, but he couldn't help frowning, but after thinking for a few more breaths, his brows relaxed a little.

It can be seen that the power of the thunder disaster is much smaller than usual, but Zhang Shiping has seen this situation many times in the Zongmen classics.

After thinking about it for a while, he was able to conclude that even if the phantom ghost locust survived the alchemy and became a great demon, there are nine out of ten chances that his spiritual wisdom would not be fully enlightened!

As for those flowers, plants and trees, as long as their spiritual intelligence is not yet developed, these unconscious and unconscious creatures can directly rise from the second level to the third level, and even the fourth level and beyond after they have accumulated enough spiritual energy.

Of course, the further you get to the back, the harder it is to open up this wisdom.

Everyone saw that Zhang Shiping was silent and seemed to be thinking about something, and they didn't dare to disturb them. They all held their breaths and stared at the raging silver thunder in front of them, for fear of missing a little bit, after all, other monks crossing the alchemy are so easy to come across. , and this is the first time they are so close to Jieyun!

After a while, the falling lightning gradually became rarer, and the eyes of the two mid-stage foundation-building casual cultivators on the flying boat became more and more surprised, as if they felt that the alchemy was not as terrible as imagined.

"The power of this thunder calamity is only [-]% to [-]% of the normal alchemy calamity. If you improve your cultivation in the future, don't be careless!" Zhang Shiping kindly reminded.Of course, this is mainly to remind the two casual cultivators that their knowledge is shorter than that of sect cultivators.

Zhidu was able to travel with these people for eight years, and now they can come back together, those people must have a good friendship, and it is reasonable for him to remind him as an elder!

"Thank you, Daoist." The expressions of the two people changed, and they thanked each other repeatedly.

Apart from Zhang Shiping's flying boat, other monks also saw this celestial phenomenon from a distance, and approached in twos and threes.As for whether they expect the other party to cross the tribulation successfully, or fail to cross the tribulation, it's hard to say.

After another cup of tea time, the spiritual energy vortex above the island seemed to have absorbed enough spiritual energy, and immediately poured down towards a certain part of the island, while a buzzing and fluttering insect suddenly rushed out from the other end. In mid-air, the spiritual energy was continuously integrated into the body.

As the majestic aura entered his body, the evil aura from the Phantom Locust gradually became stronger.It's just that the vortex of spiritual energy hadn't been absorbed for nearly half an hour, when there was a clear and shattering sound, and the spiritual energy immediately scattered away, and it was no longer pure.

In the chaotic aura, there are multicolored rays of light, which are extremely gorgeous.

At this moment, apart from Zhang Shiping, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators saw the big monster successfully crossing the catastrophe, and all of them fled away with all their strength.

……

……

Chapter 647

The aura gathered by the heavenly tribulation is so pure that it can be fully absorbed after a little refinement. Therefore, after the monks have passed through the thunder calamity, they cherish it the most and dare not waste a single bit of it.But the phantom locust just felt that it had almost recovered, so it stopped refining.

Within the range of the thundercloud, his divine sense could not be transmitted into it, and he could not force the locust to absorb the pure spiritual energy.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping sighed, that's probably the case for an uninspired idiot.

As the aura vortex dissipated, the thunderclouds in the sky were no longer churning, the clouds dispersed and the thunder stopped, and everything became calm again.The phantom locust didn't feel the slightest pity, and circled several circles of different sizes over the island on its own.

In the distance, other Foundation Establishment cultivators were fleeing and flying away, but suddenly there was a golden rainbow running in the opposite direction to everyone, and it was only about ten miles away from the Phantom Locust. It disappeared from the sky, turned into a startling rainbow and flew towards the island.

"This fellow Taoist, that is Zhang's spirit insect, please be merciful!" Zhang Shiping sent a sound transmission to the monk's spiritual consciousness from a distance.

In less than a moment, Zhang Shiping had already flown fifteen miles, and came over the island. At this moment, the phantom locust was covered by a golden wire net, and was sprinting from left to right. When the golden wire meshes collided, a thin layer of light golden aura spread out like a curtain of water, dispelling the force of the spirit insects' impact.

Manipulating the Golden Silk Spirit Net was a monk in brocade clothes. This person's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, but his lips were smeared with bright red rouge, like the paper man buried with him.However, this person's cultivation level should not be underestimated. He is actually at the late stage of Jindan. The phantom ghost locust is the weakest at this moment. Although he has become a big monster, his monster power is less than half, which is higher than that of a monk who has established a perfect foundation. Just a little, so naturally I can't get rid of the net cover.

After Zhang Shiping saw the appearance of this person, he immediately looked through all the golden elixir rosters he had seen before, and made sure that there was no such person.

"Fellow daoist, if you say it's yours, then it's yours? There must be a clear proof for everything, otherwise just a few words from fellow daoist will not be enough!" the brocade-clothed white-faced monk said in an extremely cold voice .Although he withdrew his hand temporarily, he still did not release the phantom locust, but looked at Zhang Shiping cautiously.

"If you want evidence, it's easy to say, you just untie the net, and I will prove it myself." Zhang Shiping said.

The white-faced monk listened to Zhang Shiping's words, first sized him up a few times, and after some thought, he slowly loosened the silk net.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist." Zhang Shiping pointed forward with his sword finger, a little red aura emerged from his fingertips, and flew into the golden wire net, and sank into the carapace of the phantom locust.

As the spiritual light merged into it, dense, blood-thread-like runes appeared all over the Phantom Locust's body, which was extremely conspicuous.

The white-faced brocade-clothed cultivator became even more silent. He looked between Zhang Shiping and the spirit insect a few times, and after more than ten breaths, he said, "I'm sorry, it was Qu who was reckless. Let me go!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and spread out the golden wire net, releasing the phantom locust inside, and then the gold wire was twisted and tightened, and the whole big net was transformed into a fist-sized golden ball in the blink of an eye.

After he finished speaking, he took out a token from the magic treasure storage with no expression on his face, and input mana without saying a word.

Immediately, the person immediately raised his head and looked into the distance, and there was only a flying boat in sight, which was floating in place, and flew towards it immediately.

Zhang Shiping's expression darkened, and he immediately waved his sleeves and put the phantom locust into the animal control bag, and then followed the man away.

When the two escaped to the flying boat, they stopped in a tacit understanding.

He took a look at the token, and said coldly to the old man on the flying boat and another man in black clothes: "Zhang Jingyuan, He Zhang? This seat happens to be in Binhai City. It's really troublesome for Patriarch Mingxin to ask me to pick you up. !"

"Dare to ask senior?" Zhang Jingyuan arched his hands and said cautiously.

The other party didn't say a word, and threw the token in his hand directly.

Zhang Jingyuan took a look and saw that it was the order of the elders of the sect, engraved with Yang patterns around it, with the word 'Ming Xin' in the middle, and only the word 'Qu' engraved on the other side.

There is nothing wrong with the style of the token, and several hints. It is indeed the elder's order of Mingxin Sect.Wang Jingyuan nodded slightly to his fellow students beside him.It's just that he doesn't have the slightest impression of this person, which is very strange!

But when he looked at Zhang Shiping who was already not far away, he was more confident.

"Senior Qu, I wonder if my master is here?" Zhang Jingyuan asked.

"Min Caiquan, he has something to do recently, and he can't be separated. What are you two still thinking about, hurry up and follow me back to the Zongmen, and procrastinate. Otherwise, don't send the news back in Nanming City, so as to save me from going too far Let's go!" Qu Zhenren was obviously impatient.

"Then there will be Elder Lao Qu." Zhang Jingyuan thanked him!

The two of them had been away for eight years, perhaps this Qu Zhenren joined the Ming Xin Sect halfway at this time, and it was the first time the two met, so naturally there was no relationship at all.

Immediately, the two of them flew up from the spirit boat and landed beside Naqu Daoist with their respective flying instruments.Zhang Jingyuan presented the elder's order in his hand, Naqu Daoist grabbed it casually, and then the aura around his body condensed into a cloud, enveloping the three of them.

This person left without saying hello to Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping didn't care either, he was in a good mood now that he finally gave birth to a third-order Phantom Locust.

It's just that Zhang Jingyuan and He Zhang, the two juniors of Mingxinzong, would take advantage of the rest in Nanming City to pass the news of their return back to the sect, hoping to get Min Caiquan to protect them.And when Min Caiquan couldn't separate himself, Mingxin Zhenjun specially called the monk surnamed Qu who was in the late Jindan stage, and it seemed that he attached great importance to Zhang Jingyuan and He Zhang.

Zhang Shiping glanced at Zhang Zhidu, saw him nod his head slightly, and immediately understood in his heart.

"I'm going back to Binhai City too, so I'll trouble you to give me a ride." Zhang Shiping landed in the flying boat and said softly.

……

……

However, after a journey of more than three thousand miles, and with the help of Zhang Shiping, the Jindan Daoist, it only took about three hours for the group to return to Binhai City.

The three Xuanyuanzong disciples and the two casual cultivators naturally parted ways, and Zhang Shiping left with Zhang Zhidu.

As for the things that were inconvenient to say on the road before, after the two returned to Qinghuo Valley, Zhang Shiping took some time to ask the reason, and he sat on the stone pavilion on the top of the mountain and closed his eyes to rest, playing with a sea Tuyujian, talking softly to himself: "The bust of the huge rock under the sea is suspected to be a place where ancient cultivators sacrificed, and it is still guarded by a magic circle. It is a good opportunity, but it is too far away. If there is a chance in the future, I will go there again." Take a look!"

After speaking, he leaned against the railing and fell asleep.

For more than twenty days, he hadn't even taken a break for the phantom locust. Now that he was free, he really felt a little tired.

…………

Chapter 648

He fell asleep this time, and only woke up leisurely when the wind blew up in the mountains and a few raindrops hit Zhang Shiping's face lightly.

I don't know when the clouds in the sky have dispersed, and occasionally thunder flashed through the clouds from a distance, and then the rumbling thunder sounded.This is not the thunder and lightning attracted by the monk crossing the catastrophe, but the most normal weather in the world, a little less violent and a little more atmospheric.

Zhang Shiping did not run away from the rain, instead he stretched out his hand outside the pavilion, the rain was still faint, and the few drops fell into the palm, clearly countable.

After staying for a while, the wind became more and more intense, whistling through the mountains, blowing Zhang Shiping's green shirt.

Only then did he shake off the rain in his hands, stood up, and looked away.Between the sea and the sky, the white rain curtain formed a line, moving towards Binhai City from far and near.

next moment.

Chaotic clouds to water, showers and mountains.

Apart from the crashing rain, there was no other sound in the world.

Zhang Shiping walked out of the pavilion, closed his eyes, and stood quietly, allowing the rain to wet his clothes, feeling all the changes around him.

But after a while, Bai Qi, who was using the magic circle at the bottom of the valley to avoid the heavy rain, suddenly saw a familiar figure on the top of the mountain, and immediately stood up. After thinking for a while, it condensed into a shield with demon power , plunged into the wind and rain, and jumped from the bottom of the valley towards the top of the mountain.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Bai Qi walked around Zhang Shiping several times, watching him still motionless like a piece of wood.

There seemed to be doubts in Bai Qi's eyes, wondering why the owner didn't go to take shelter from the rain, but instead made his whole body wet and embarrassed.After another four or five breaths of work, it finally mobilized its demonic power, enlarged the shield around its body, and enveloped Zhang Shiping, blocking the torrential rain.

Zhang Shiping opened his eyes, looked at Bai Qi whose back was almost at the height of his shoulders, raised his hand, and touched its head a few times indiscriminately, tidying it up with his soaked sleeves wet and messy hair.

Sensing the wet rain, Bai Qi hurriedly took a few steps back, hid aside, and watched Zhang Shiping warily while splashing the water.

"Let's go." Zhang Shiping smiled, and with the shield supported by Bai Qi, they went down the mountain together, passed through the magic circle in the valley, and returned to the lake of flames.

After raising this kitten, Zhang Shiping's days of practicing in the valley are not as deserted as before.

Several hours later.The sudden heavy rain in summer gradually subsided in the second half of the night, and in the morning of the next day, there was only light rain in the sky.

The dryness in the Green Fire Valley was taken away by the heavy rain.

Another day passed.

Zhang Shiping took a look at the worm chamber dug on the wall of Yanhuotan, waved his sleeves and sacrificed the Qingshuang sword, opened up the row of worm chambers on the left like cutting tofu, and then expanded the worm chamber towards the mountain After a while, he used the magic of solidifying soil and stone several times, and finally built a cave hall with a length of more than twenty feet, a width of ten feet, and a width of nearly four feet.

Zhang Shiping withdrew the Qingshuang Sword, flipped his hands and took out some formations, flags and other utensils, and in just a cup of tea, he laid down the formations for the protection of the insect room with ease.

After finishing these, he just slapped the beast-controlling bag on his waist and released the Phantom Locust.

Before becoming a big demon, the phantom locust was only the size of a calf. Before that, Zhang Shiping used the method of raising Gu to feed dozens of weaker locusts. It has grown a lot bigger, not counting the two iron stick-like tentacles, the height is already more than seven feet.

In the past two days, Zhang Shiping has continuously thrown spirit stones into the beast-controlling bag, so that after the Phantom Phantom Locust demon passed through the catastrophe, all the mana that had not been replenished was fully replenished, and its momentum was even stronger than before. When you first form a pill, you should be a little stronger.

As soon as Zhang Shiping released it, a wild aura rushed towards his face, and Bai Qi who was following behind was suddenly frightened. He took a step back at first, but then reacted, grinning at the Phantom Locust and roaring in a deep voice.

The pair of compound eyes on the Phantom Locust's head, and the three single eyes, all turned around, staring straight at the white tiger.The upper and lower jaws in the mouthparts are like serrated blades, with a cold glow, and the hexapod joints under the chest are even more up and down, and the body shakes slightly, as if there is a feeling of jumping out.

"It's not bluffing, you kitten can't beat it, go out first." Zhang Shiping said calmly between the tiger and the insect.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound of wings flapping, Zhang Shiping immediately pinched an extremely simple hand formula with one hand, and then said softly: "Sure!"

The Phantom Locust, which was just about to be culled, couldn't move at this moment, but countless bloodshot runes appeared all over its body, like thin chains, tightly connected to each other.Those bloodshot runes were swimming inside and outside the Phantom Locust without stopping for a moment.

Bai Qi was taken aback by the sudden reckless demonic aura. After getting Zhang Shiping's permission, he ran out of the cave in a hurry. It seemed that for a while, he didn't dare to come in again to provoke these phantom locusts up.
