longevity road trip

Hearing what Zhang Shiping said, Hai Dafu had a smile on his face, and didn't say anything more, just picked up the cup and took a sip.

After half a stick of incense, Zhang Shiping read the contents of the jade slip three or four times, and after confirming, he withdrew his divine sense and put down the jade slip.

"How?" Hai Dafu asked as before.

"This method is exactly as the Taoist said. Not only will it not harm the spirit insects, but it will be of great benefit. It is not so much a method of refining poison as it is a method of cultivation! Insects are extremely restrained, I know it well, but I never thought that spider poison is more effective against insects. Through the method of "purifying spirits" by fellow Taoists, the poisons produced are indeed no less than those such as Bijiu and Bitter Poison. , viper and other ten absolute poisons." Zhang Shiping said with great certainty.

The phantom locust restrains all kinds of spirit spiders, so it is naturally not afraid of those spider poisons.What Hai Dafu wanted was to feed a large amount of purified spider venom to the phantom locust, and then use the method of purifying the spirit, so that the poison in the locust eggs would become more violent.The more and more powerful the spider venom you feed, the stronger its power will be, and the Phantom Locust will also benefit a lot from it.

After all, the poison produced by the spirit insects is the essence of them.If the cultivation level of that spider-like spirit insect is comparable to Yuanying Zhenjun, then the inspiration contained in its poison is no less than some thousand-year-old elixir, or a high-grade panacea.

Ordinary golden elixir masters encounter such refined phantom poison, it is not a matter of losing their minds for a moment, but their minds and souls collapse directly, and they die immediately, and the Nascent Soul cultivator may not be able to escape.But as for the cultivator of Huashen, it is difficult for Zhang Shiping to guess. After all, the Huashen in Xiaohuanjie is fundamentally different from the Huashen of ancient times. In ancient times, it was a real hole and virtual realm.

Zhang Shiping doesn't know what supernatural powers are in this realm!But as far as he knows, there is one thing, that is, after a monk reaches the incarnation practice, the Nascent Soul can be melted away at will and integrated into the whole body after being trained to a certain level.

Most of the cultivator's energy is in the golden core and the nascent soul, so with such supernatural powers, it is difficult for Zhang Shiping to deduce whether the phantom poison that acts on the soul will work or not.

"This poison is called phantom bite, and it is actually one of the top ten poisons in ancient times. If phantom locusts hadn't disappeared in the small world, it wouldn't have been replaced by other poisons." Hai Dafu laughed.

"Since it is beneficial and harmless, then please come with me, Fellow Daoist Hai." Zhang Shiping said cleanly.

Then he stood up and led Hai Dafu to leap a few steps. In less than ten breaths, the two arrived at the entrance of the worm room cave dug between the mountain walls.

Zhang Shiping strode into the somewhat dark cave in front of him. Hai Dafu behind him had a faint blue aura flashed in his eyes. He scanned the inside and saw that there was only a big monster exuding a ferocious evil spirit inside, and there were densely packed ones. The phantom ghost locust followed behind and walked in.

Although Hai Dafu has become a Nascent Soul cultivator, his mana is only far superior to Zhang Shiping, if the two fight head-on, there will be no second result.However, the reason why he is still so careful is not only that this place is Zhang Shiping's lair that has been run for many years, but also because of Qin Feng.

After all, Qin Feng has a history of ambush and murder of Nascent Soul monks like Qin Xiangshan. As his descendant, Zhang Shiping might be able to bring his ancestors to justice.

The cave was more than ten feet deep, and when the two of them came to the spacious stone hall that Zhang Shiping dug out before, the hideous Phantom Locust with scales and armor did not rush up after seeing Hai Dafu, but jumped back unexpectedly Go, climbed on the wall, the five eyes wandered around, staring at the coming person quite vigilantly.

When Zhang Shiping saw the appearance of the Phantom Locust, he immediately confirmed that Hai Dafu had become a Nascent Soul.

Then Hai Dafu stepped forward, stood side by side with Zhang Shiping, and said indifferently: "This is the Phantom Locust of the Great Demon series, it is really a superb horse. In the next three months, Hai will be here. Please trouble Zhang Daoyou."

Chapter 660

"You're welcome. It's just that although the Phantom Locust has survived the Danlei Tribulation, not only has its mind not opened, but it has become a lot more reckless. If you need Zhang's help here, Fellow Hai Daoist, you can just ask. , I should be cultivating at the bottom of the valley for the past three months, and I will not leave." Zhang Shiping said.

"Thank you Zhang Daoyou." After Hai Dafu cupped his hands to thank him, he seemed to think of something again, and took out a storage bag with his hands. After a few breaths, he took out a jade slip from it, and then the imperial object floated in front of Zhang Shiping.

"This is?" Zhang Shiping asked.

"It's just a small thing. When Hai left Zhengyangzong, he walked with Chen Wenguang for a short period of time. This Little Wind Valley was where he stayed at that time, but I don't know if he changed places later. Fellow Daoist Zhang, let's watch! "Hai Dafu said.

"Little Wind Valley, I'll find out when I let someone take a look, don't bother fellow daoists for now." After Zhang Shiping finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Hai Dafu.

After leaving the worm room, Zhang Shiping looked at the jade slips, because this small wind valley is more than [-] miles northeast of Binhai City, and this place happens to be within the territory of Zhang State.However, he didn't immediately leave for the small wind valley, but flew down into the valley with ease.

Then with a movement of his mind, a monk who was completely covered in a black robe and couldn't see his face suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Shiping, knelt down on one knee and lowered his head, without saying a word.

"You send these two jade slips to Chongling Mountain and give them to Tian Ya." Zhang Shiping took out a blank jade slip, recorded all the relationship between his family and Chen Wenguang, and ordered her to send someone to see Chen Wenguang. Are the descendants of the family still in the Little Wind Valley?

Now, more than two hundred years have passed since that time, and there are too many variables in such a long time, Zhang Shiping is not sure that the descendants of the Chen family will still be here.As for such a small matter of finding people, there is no need for Zhang Shiping, the Jindan Daoist, to go there in person, and it is enough to send one of the clan, Zhu Ji, to lead a few Qi Refining clansmen.

Regardless of whether it is a family, a sect, or a commercial building spread all over Nanzhou like Hongyue Tower, in fact, for the founder, the general role is nothing more than a few points, one is to collect practice resources, and the other is to inquire news, and the third is to train some subordinates who can be driven.

This is the biggest difference between Zongmen, family monks and casual cultivators.

The black-robed cultivator didn't raise his head, he just raised his hands to hold the two jade slips, then got up and flew the imperial weapon, heading towards Chongling Mountain.

And after Zhang Shiping ordered this matter, he walked slowly to the pumice stone in the center of Tan, and sat down cross-legged as before, stepping on the red and surging magma from the Yanhuotan.Only because of Hai Dafu's presence, he did not take out the bronze lamp, but meditated for a day or so before he opened his eyes, took out a volume of books about alchemy, and read page by page I got up, and gradually became fascinated by it. When I read a few interesting things, the corners of my mouth inevitably curled into a smile.

It's just that he didn't know that his smile was really because of what was said in the book.

Hai Dafu in the worm room was taking out various spiders from the storage bag, most of them were second-order monsters, there were hundreds of them, almost piled up to the ceiling of the hall.The phantom locust was still curled up in the corner, Hai Dafu took a step back when he saw it, and disappeared immediately, and the aura on his body also changed dramatically, almost to nothing.

The pair of tentacles on the Phantom Locust's head swayed slightly, but it didn't move at all. It wasn't until half an hour later, when there was silence all around, that it threw down the pile of spider demon corpses and started to eat.

It went on like this for two days.

During this period of time, as the phantom locust ate more and more, the scales on its body became more and more bright red. At this time, Hai Dafu appeared, took out a black elixir, and sent it into the phantom with a flick of his fingers. In the mouth of the ghost locust.

"This is the poisonous pill refined by using the venom of thousands of spider demons, adding nearly half of the spiritual liquid of the thousands of spiders and poisonous spirit pool at the bottom of the Thousand Spiders Cave, and taking its essence, hoping to refine the Phantom Devourer that satisfies the old man. Poison it." Hai Dafu said softly.

Then his consciousness moved slightly, seeing that Zhang Shiping still couldn't let go of the scroll, he couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled in his heart, and wanted to sigh secretly:

"Could it be that Qin Feng and Zhang Shiping really haven't been in touch anymore? This is different from what I expected. I originally planned to lure the snake out of the hole, lure Cao Qi out, and drive the tiger to go to the Red Moon Tower At that time, the three of us will take the opportunity to kill Cao Qi, and I swallowed his seven or eight hundred years of cultivation, and plundered the secret law of his life that he inherited. Fighting hard. Now it seems that this road will not work, and we can only change the plan. But fortunately, that guy is beyond my expectation, and he raised this third-order phantom locust at the last moment. Devouring the absolute poison gives the old man an extra trick."

As far as they know, among the remaining demon souls, there is only Cao Qi who has a connection with Qin Feng.

However, in the past 80 or [-] years, Qin Feng has not shown his whereabouts since he came out of Nanfa Temple in Nannan. He has no contact with Yuji, who came back to Nanzhou with his fellow Cangguyang, and he does not know where he is hiding.Now they can only focus on Zhang Shiping, hoping to get traces of Qin Feng or Cao Qi from this person, so that their calculations can continue.

It's just that Zhang Shiping's unmoving appearance made their plan come to nothing.

"That's all, that's all." Hai Dafu shook his head and said.

When Hai Dafu said this suddenly, Zhang Shiping was turning over the pages of the book in his hand, and glanced towards the insect room from the corner of his eye, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

After all, this Green Fire Valley is the cave where he has practiced for more than a hundred years. With the help of the magic circle here, although he is still no match for a true king who has cultivated in the early stage of Yuanying, he can still do it with a few moves. of.But other than that, what's more important is that he can clearly know what's going on here through the arranged magic circle.Of course, this is because the other party did not reveal the method of cultivating the Nascent Soul.

But since this is the case, Zhang Shiping didn't intend to get involved in the matter of the demon soul, they fought for theirs, and he practiced his own, so whether Hai Dafu is a Nascent Soul cultivator has nothing to do with him.

The matter of the fusion of the mysterious soul is not something that Jindan Daoist can get involved in.Those cultivators standing at the peak of the Small World Realm wanted to take the opportunity to go to the Spirit Realm and break free from the shackles when the Demon Lord crossed over to take advantage of the passage of the Negative Spirit Space.And those Nascent Soul cultivators who attached their tail hoped that the Demon Soul cultivator they followed would win and be able to protect them and leave together.

What Zhang Shiping is looking for now is not those things, but down-to-earth, thinking about how to conceive a baby in the future, naturally he doesn't want to have anything to do with Qin Feng, Hai Dafu and others.

There are many disturbances in the outside world, and everyone wants what they want, but there are differences.

……

……

Chapter 661 Ancestral Hall

……

Three months later, Zhang Shiping watched Hai Dafu fly away at the guest pavilion outside Qinghuo Valley in Binhai City. After standing there for a while, he turned back to the valley and flew towards the worm room. .

As soon as he landed in front of the cave door, before he entered the worm room, a fierce aura rushed towards his face accompanied by the humming of wings.

Then Zhang Shiping waved his hand to remove the restriction placed at the entrance of the cave. As soon as the aura dissipated, a spirit insect that was a head taller than him and covered in blood-red scales immediately jumped out, passed over his head, and flew in mid-air.

Originally, the phantom locust with orthodox blood could not directly feed on demon spiders, but could only feed on the purified spirit liquid of spider venom. However, the phantom locust in front of me has undergone a mutation, from only being able to suck the spirit liquid to now being able to eat Spirit bones, and even feed on the flesh and blood of various monsters.

Now there is only a slight difference between this insect and the mid-stage Golden Core. In the past three months, it is unknown how many poisonous spiders Hai Dafu has brought out to feed this phantom locust.However, judging from his size, which was three points bigger than before, Hai Dafu probably produced a lot of things.

The two big, three small and five eyes on the Phantom Locust's head were staring down, and the black jade-like scaly eyes reflected Zhang Shiping's figure.

Suddenly, before Zhang Shiping gave an order, the phantom locust flapped its wings violently, and immediately flew several tens of feet higher.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping frowned, and immediately let out a soft 'Ji', the Phantom Locust immediately burst into blood, and a rune imprint appeared on the top of its head, and then it fell from midair stiffly, without any resistance force.

Zhang Shiping stretched out his hand to wipe the imperial beast bag at his waist, and the hazy glow enveloped the phantom locust in midair.

The phantom locust changed from big to small, and fell into the bag following the aura.

"You worm is lucky, but you have encountered such a good thing just after forming the alchemy. It just seems that this pure spirit method can weaken the blood ban, but it is a bit troublesome. But if you can refine the 'Phantom Devour' There is no problem with poisonous substances that are comparable to the ultimate poison. At most, I will spend some time to perform the blood banning technique a few more times. It's just that the spider demon that eats insects may cost a lot of spirit stones. Right now It's not the time to waste your time and effort to get such poisons, let's talk about it later." Zhang Shiping patted the imperial animal bag and said in a deep voice.

Then he walked into the worm room and spent half a stick of incense carefully looking at the place, there was almost no change from three months ago, it was obvious that Hai Dafu cleaned up the place before leaving.

……

……

And at the foot of a green hill in the Chongling Mountain Range, a figure looms among the forest leaves.

A white-haired old lady, Zhang Tianya, is leading more than ten young monks of the Zhang family in two parallel rows, starting from the foot of the mountain along the long white stone steps, and walking step by step towards the Zhang family ancestral hall located halfway up the mountain.

The lush forests and bamboos on the mountain are lush, majestic and beautiful, and the sound of gurgling water, accompanied by the sound of wind and birdsong, is heard by everyone.

These teenagers, Shao Ai, looked at the scenery in the forest with curiosity in their eyes, but they were not magic weapons in their hands, but some cleaning objects such as brooms, feather dusters, or towels.

Today is not the time for the Zhang family's annual family sacrifice, but the day when the young monks in the clan clean the ancestral hall, but the atmosphere is also solemn and solemn. These young monks followed the predecessors in a regular manner and walked into the gate of the ancestral hall.

There are more than [-] monks from the Zhang family. Apart from a dozen or so foundation-building monks and those young monks who practiced Qi at the ninth level in the Chongling Mountain Range, the rest are mostly young people who have just stepped into the road of cultivation.

Once the disciples of the Zhang family have detected their spiritual roots, regardless of whether their spiritual roots are good or bad, they will all learn to read and write in the ethnology from the age of five or six. The five elements, yin and yang, and medicine related to practice.Of course, in addition to writing, these teenagers also practice various martial arts to strengthen their bodies, so as to strengthen their foundations and talents.

During this period, every three days, the Zhang family will configure different elixir medicine baths according to the physique of each of these teenagers to cleanse their bodies, expand their meridians, and lay the foundation for future practice.

After several years of doing this, the family will teach these children how to practice after the foundation has been laid and their minds have matured.

It's just that the first thing they have to do after refining Qi is not to compete, but to clean the family ancestral hall led by Zhang Family Foundation Establishment monks.After this time, it also means the beginning of their different lives.

In the past, among these children, some outstanding ones could still visit Zhang Shiping, the patriarch of the family.But that was a long time ago, when Zhang Shiping had just formed the alchemy, he was still in the Green Bamboo Valley.After arriving in Qinghuo Valley, the only one who can live in the valley now is Zhang Bixing, a disciple of the younger generation.

The ancestral rules taught by Zhang Shiping can ensure that every child in the Zhang family with spiritual roots will be given the same treatment before stepping into the practice.However, the rules no longer apply when these teenagers step into the practice.

Whether it is casual cultivators or family monks, as long as they are monks, there is only one word they can do, and that is 'struggle'.

Those who are able go up, those who are mediocre let go, and those who are mediocre go down.

Those disciples of the Zhang family who are diligent in practice can naturally practice meditation in Chongling Mountain, while those Zhang family disciples who are not suitable for cultivation, they don't have many choices in the future, either to manage the family's affairs, or go out to seek their own opportunities .

Of course, the theory of practice and refinement is only in the realm of qi refining.

When they practiced to the late stage of Qi refining, at least [-]% of the Zhang family monks, the speed of practice would slow down, and they would no longer progress as fast as they were young.And once they are over [-] years old, and they haven't practiced to the ninth level of Qi refining, they have to go out to earn spirit stones or family contributions in exchange for foundation establishment pills to prepare for future foundation establishment.

These things, after they cleaned the ancestral hall, Zhang Tianya would explain them clearly.

But just when the group of them climbed up the white stone steps and passed through the gatehouse, Zhang Tianya's face changed suddenly, and after saying "you are waiting here",

But after a while, she walked from the last stone steps towards the gate of the ancestral hall, bypassed the screen wall, and passed through the corridors and arches like the wind. In front of the back bedroom hall.

At this moment, the two middle-aged monks were full of sadness, and they ran out of it anxiously.

As soon as they saw Zhang Tianya, the former patriarch, they stepped a little faster, and shouted from a distance of twenty or thirty feet: "The elder has an accident. Elder Zhiyu and others who are traveling together must feel, must Yong..."

"Understood, let me take a look first." Zhang Tianya interrupted them with a livid face before waiting for the two to finish speaking.

Chapter 662 Clues

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tianya took a few feet away, and within a few breaths, he passed through the courtyard and entered the back bedroom.

Zhang Tianya, who looked a little old when he led the younger generation up the mountain before, now has a little bit of trouble in his legs and feet.

The Zhang family ancestral hall is a five-entry courtyard built on the mountainside, and the back bedroom is the main hall located in the fourth entrance.In the middle of the hall, there are layers of spiritual tablets, and hundreds of long white jade lamps are burning on the left and right sides.It's just that at this moment on the right side, one of the twelve life lamps placed in the highest row has been extinguished, and two of the numerous life lamps at the bottom have also lost their light.

Zhang Tianya stood in front of a life lamp engraved with 'Zhi Yu' with a sad face, and asked in a deep voice: "Bi Qi, Bi Xun, how long ago did this happen, did the life lights of Zhi Yu and the others go out at the same time? "

"Just now, the life lamps of Elder Zhiyu, Bijue and Biyong went out almost at the same time, no more than one breath before and after. We saw the life lamps go out when we were refueling in the hall just now, after seeing the names of the three people clearly I wanted to activate the Xuangan Lingzhu to report immediately, but I sensed the aura of the elder, so I hurried to report to you first." Biqi took a step faster than Bixun, and when he heard Zhang Tianya's question, he quickly responded loudly, and thought about it by the way Tell me why you didn't immediately activate the Xuangan Lingzhu to inform the patriarch and the elders.

"The two of you go and bring the child in front of the gate first." Zhang Tianya said in a deep voice, she took out a lavender spirit bead and crushed it.

"Yes." The two immediately agreed, turned around and crossed the threshold, looking for the children.

"Almost at the same time! With Zhiyu's mid-stage cultivation and a few talismans on his body, even if he meets a monk who has completed the foundation establishment, he can deal with them for a while. As for Bijue and Biyong, in this case He might be powerless to keep the two of them. But if the three of them died at the same time, I don’t know if it was Zhi Yu’s carelessness that caused the three of them to be ambushed and killed by other monks at the same time, or a high-ranking monk took action and killed them with thunder. , so troublesome?" Zhang Tianya sighed.

And just when the two young monks of the Zhang family, Biqi and Bixun, ran out in a hurry, Zhang Shiping, who was more than a hundred miles away, was walking out from the door of the worm room. After applying a touch, he took out a long square brocade box, opened the lid with a snap, and there were two rows of six light red jade plaques in the box.

With a "click", one of the jade plaques split in two, and the word 'Zhi Yu' engraved on it split vertically from the middle.

Zhang Shiping didn't show any sadness, he took the broken jade tablet out of the brocade box with unchanged expression, then closed the brocade box and put it into the storage jade belt.

Holding the jade tablet, he remained silent and looked towards the southeast, with a look of deep thought on his face.

After more than ten breaths of work, Zhang Shiping turned his hand and took out a lavender round bead, the spirit bead was shining brightly.He immediately turned into a blue rainbow and flew towards the Chongling Mountains hundreds of miles away.

For about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Shiping flew over the Chongling Mountain Range, and after a sweep of his consciousness, he suddenly appeared in front of the door of the back bedroom of the ancestral hall.

"Hengyun, Tianwu, you are here too." Zhang Shiping walked into the hall, and there were two people standing beside Zhang Tianya in front of the life lamp.

"Old Ancestor." The three said at the same time.

Although Zheng Hengyun and Zhang Tianwu have formed alchemy, they still refer to Zhang Shiping as ancestors, while Zhang Tianya is only a foundation-builder monk, no matter their seniority or cultivation level, they are a head lower than Zhang Shiping, so it is normal to call them like this.

"Have you checked the life lamp? How's the situation?" Zhang Shiping strode forward, looked at the life lamp and asked.

"Zhi Yu and the others' life lamps were only a breath away before and after they went out. I'm worried that he met Jindan or Nascent Soul cultivator, and he was poisoned just now. Otherwise, there would be no room for resistance. As for the life lamp, we Both Tian Wu and Tian Wu have just arrived and haven't checked yet." Zheng Hengyun responded.

"What's the general situation, let's look at it first." Zhang Shiping walked to the three extinguished life lamps respectively, and stuck his sword fingers on the lamps, each drawing out a wisp of gray smoke, circling in mid-air, forming a pair of Smoke painting.

There is a valley in the painting, three figures made of smoke are walking in the valley, and there are more than ten blurred figures around.

At this moment, a gray light suddenly appeared around, shooting out from nowhere, it cut off six or seven people around at once, and just as the others made a move, they also collapsed into smoke the next moment.

The entire smoke painting was turned upside down, only to see a monster that looked like a tiger or a lion approaching, transformed by the smoke, and then everything became chaotic and blurred.

After reading, Zhang Shiping waved his sleeves to disperse the smoke.

"Zhang Guo is only four thousand miles away from Binhai City. Although Zhiyu's escape with Bijue and Biyong will be slower, it won't take three months to complete a task. It seems that he met halfway Together with other monks, they strayed into the lair of a big monster. However, there are only seven foundation-building families known in Zhang Guo, and there is no third-level spiritual land. Looks like he just broke through?" Zhang Tianwu said with a frown.
