longevity road trip

"Including Zhiyu, there are 17 people in total. Since Zhiyu brought Bijue and Biyong with him, it means that he doesn't think the valley is very dangerous. With his cultivation base, he can completely take care of the two qi refiners. Juniors. The 14 people who walked with them should be in the same situation, and maybe they will each bring a few juniors, so there are only five or six foundation-building monks among these people. The monster can kill in a moment Killing these people is a bit unexpected, but it should have the mid-stage cultivation of a big monster, maybe it will be in the late stage." Zheng Hengyun said while using his fingers as a painting, condensing the smoke painting just now with magic power, and drawing the monster back and forth. Take the first shot, kill those people, and re-demonstrate it.

It can be said that from the moment it appeared to the end, this monster was just a turn-back action, and the time it took was only one or two breaths of work, and it killed all the monks in the valley.It's just that they don't know whether these people sacrificed their defensive magic weapon or propped up their mana shield in advance, and they can't see the remnant scene of the life lamp.

This scene was seen by the three of Zhi Yu in a split second before they were alive, and there is only a general idea.

Of course, Zhang Shiping and Zheng Hengyun, two real people who have formed alchemy for a long time, have something to look for in each of the Zhang family's foundation-building monks, and some more potential late-stage Qi refining monks.Zhang Shiping vaguely felt that the thing he was looking for was in the southeast direction, but he had to be closer, about a hundred miles away, to perceive it more clearly.

As for the means of splitting the spirit and soul to protect the younger generation, it requires the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul stage, and the two of them have not yet reached that level.

"It's okay, it's fine in the middle and late stages. Zhiyu went to Zhang Guo because of the old man's orders. I'm going to see what kind of monster is that? As for the two of you, Tian Wu is still consolidating his cultivation, which is not conducive to Fighting with magic spells, Hengyun, you should stay in the clan for the time being!" Zhang Shiping said, shaking his head lightly.

"Then this blood refining jade is kept by me, and my ancestors have it. When we arrive in Zhang State, it is best for our ancestors not to go to the valley immediately, but to go to the seven foundation-building families of Zhang State to find out what it is." Situation. There are not many foundations in the secular world, and the foundations monks who traveled with Zhiyu may come from these families, and they may have some clues!" Zheng Hengyun said.He flipped his hands and took out a square sapphire the size of a fist, in which a blood bead was congealed in the jade body.

"Don't worry." Zhang Shiping nodded.

Chapter 663 Zhang Guohengzhou

"Old Ancestor, could it be Sanyuan Island and Feiyu Island who are secretly playing tricks?" Zhang Tianya said worriedly.

"They probably don't dare, but of course it's possible. After all, Sanyuan and Feiyu have been sitting for five or six hundred years. Although there are some incense left behind, they still have to It's a little lighter. Among the two true monarchs who have made good friends with them, apart from the Yuanying ancestors of the five sects of Nanzhou, only Mingxin Sect's Mingxin Sect is still here. As for the many junior monks supported , no one has conceived a baby now, they are all Jindan real people." Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly.

These two families are inquiring about news from the Zhang family, so naturally the Zhang family is also doing the same.

Previously, Zhang Bixing was annoyed because the two families were looking for news near the Zhang family. In fact, the Zhang family had done this a long time ago, but he didn't know it yet.Many other sects or families are also like this, they must have their own eyes and ears to go out, so as not to become the blind and deaf.

After all, the merchant ships under the name of the White Ape Company have been traveling between the Canggu Ocean and the South China Sea these years, and they happened to pass by large islands such as Sanyuan Island and Feiyu Island that are full of aura. In the nearby Daofang market, there are more than a dozen shops, large and small,

The monks came and went on the island every day, and the Zhang family either intentionally or unintentionally inquired, so they were fairly well informed about the news of the Lu and Li families.

Of course, the news that the Zhang family heard is not limited to this, and there are other kinds of information, which are extremely complicated.

And these news were reported to Zhang Shiping's three Jindan real people after they were sorted out by several older foundation monks from the Zhang family who had no possibility of forming alchemy, so as to save them from wasting unnecessary money time.

Otherwise, after Zhang Shiping and the other three Jindan real people leave the customs, if they don't know anything, they are very likely to be tricked.After all, no matter how high the cultivation base of a high-level monk is, he does not have the supernatural power of the prophet. The news in the world of cultivating immortals still has to be collected by the people under his hands.Of course, they can also go to the Red Moon Building to buy some more secret information, and they can also exchange what they know with other monks.

The news bought from Hongyuelou is good, generally there is no fake, the only disadvantage is that it is too expensive.After acquired training, the value of an ordinary elixir with a medicine age of hundreds of years is only a few thousand spirit stones, and it is only a few dozen middle-grade spirit stones. Some news about Yuanying Zhenjun, Hong Yue The buildings are all priced with top-grade spirit stones, ranging from a few to hundreds.

When exchanging news with other monks of the same level, although they sometimes know some secret things, they cannot guarantee whether what the other party said is true or false, which is especially fatal!

Therefore, in terms of collecting information, the most reliable ones are the disciples of the sect or the descendants of the family.

After all, these low-level monks rely on the high-level monks to obtain protection and a safe environment for practice, and one of the prices is to act as minions and eyes and ears to handle some trivial matters outside of practice for them.

In the world of cultivating immortals, monks have different levels of cultivation, and the way they get along is roughly the same.

"After listening to Zhang Shiping, Zheng Hengyun pondered for a while and said:

"That has to be guarded against. With the ancestor's current cultivation, ordinary Jindan cultivators are not afraid. Even if they lose, their lives should be safe. Back then, the Sanyuan Zhenjun of the Lu family had treated the public Old Ancestor Yang is kind, as long as they are willing to use this favor, the Zongmen will definitely keep their share of the spiritual mine, so the Lu family will not lose their minds, and then go find other true monarchs, give People left a felony handle for treason against foreign enemies enough to be enough for the Yi people. But Feiyu Island is a problem, and I don't know if Mingxin's sweetheart will take action against the ancestor because of the friendship between him and Feiyu Zhenjun .”

Zhang Shiping shook his head and said: "You can rest assured about this point. Now that Hongyuelou is no longer in control of Nanzhou, if they want to break the tacit understanding that has been followed by the sects for tens of thousands of years, then the few blessed places of Mingxinzong will be separated from them." The secret realm needs to be renamed."

"Do the ancestors of the sect have any ideas about Mingxin Sect?" Zhang Tianwu asked in surprise.

"If the three True Monarchs of Mingxinzong are all present, they will naturally have no idea, but if they are not, it will be hard to say. This is just a few of us here to say, once you go out, you must be careful Words." With a sneer on Zhang Shiping's face, he reminded the three present.

Now the True Monarch Hongyue has been patrolling the ancient ocean for nearly 80 years, and Venerable Xiao is more like those Venerables in the past, he hardly cares about the disputes of various factions, and he has not even had a routine battle with the Sea Clan these years started.

The three nodded, they understood this truth.

After Zhang Shiping finished speaking, he walked out, followed by Zheng Hengyun, Zhang Tianwu and Zhang Tianya.

Outside the hall, Zhang Bixun and his two led the fourteen young Shaoai who had just stepped into the practice of the Zhang family lined up behind them, and they all bowed to worship, and said in a clear voice: "I pay my respects to the ancestor, I wish the ancestor good fortune and long life. "

The young voice is crisp and full of vigor.

"Excuse me, let's all get up." Zhang Shiping said with a smile after hearing this.

Then he wiped the jade belt around his waist, white light flashed, and a small white jade bottle was floating in front of more than a dozen younger generations under the steps.The jade bottles in front of the fourteen young men who had just entered the practice, Shaoai, contained yellow bud pills. As for the older Biqi and Bixun, who were in the late stage of Qi refining, the pills they got were in the form of second-level sea beasts. Essence pills made from flesh and blood.

Everyone immediately stretched out their hands to catch the pill jade bottle in front of each other, and thanked respectfully again.

"I hope you will practice well and live up to your youth." Zhang Shiping smiled when he saw this, and after he finished speaking, he flew up into the clouds and disappeared into the clouds.

The young members of the Zhang family who just entered the practice couldn't help but look up and watch Qinghong go away with envy in their eyes. Some of them clenched their fists subconsciously, and their expressions seemed to be a little firmer.

Zheng Hengyun and Zhang Tianwu in the back couldn't help but looked at each other, and they also took out the pill to give to these younger generations, and after a few words of advice, they left, leaving only Zhang Tianya, the family leader. Elder Ji, leading these jubilant young Shaoai, began to clean up the entire ancestral hall.

After Zhang Shiping left, he didn't fly directly to Zhang Guo, but went to Qing He Patriarch's water mansion in the South China Sea first, and stayed for less than half an hour before leaving.

……

……

Hengzhou, located in the southeast of Zhang State, is one of the thirteen states.

The terrain there is complex, with countless hills and dense forests, large and small water veins criss-crossing, so that the swamps and wetlands are full of miasma. Therefore, except for a few isolated cities and some official roads, few people walk in the wilderness.

However, the county town of Hengzhou is located on an important traffic road, and it is much more prosperous when doing business, not at all inferior to the capital of Zhang Guo.

And on this day, a young-looking monk in green clothes put two copper coins in the basket beside the soldiers at the city gate, and walked slowly into the city.

……

……

Chapter 664

The Hengzhou county city is different from many cities and counties. The most conspicuous thing is that the city wall was built. The square or rectangular shape was abandoned, and the city was built along the mountains and water systems.The city wall is more than [-] miles around, and the size of the area is almost similar to the medium-sized square city of Binhai City, but this scale is one of the best in the world, and half of the prosperity of a county is located here.

Originally, it was stipulated in Zhang Guodian's law that "all pedestrians and horses come and go, they must pass by."

However, Zhang Shiping didn't have any evidence of household registration such as "Guo Suo Jie Biography", but the guard at the city gate seemed to have forgotten about it, and let him go.This is not Zhang Shiping casting some invisibility spell, or casting some illusion on those people.

It's just because Zhang Guozuo has been handed down for nearly 200 years. Although many codes exist, they have been replaced by modifications.These people saw Zhang Shiping's fair complexion, beautiful clothes, smart and took a look at his hands, his fingers were slender and even his nails were neatly trimmed and rounded, they immediately let him pass without any difficulty.

There are three gates in the east city, and Zhang Shiping walked out the last one, the 'East Yumen Gate', walking on the streets in the city, looking at the scenery in the city with great interest, there are countless merchants and travelers passing by, and the shops are row upon row, bustling Such as weaving.

It's just that from the moment he walked into the city gate, there were a few short-clothed and barefoot men following behind him. These people followed from a distance and did not dare to get too close.These are just some porters. If they do a proper job, they will be ordered around, lead the way, salute with burdens, and earn a few copper coins.Of course, sometimes seeing someone with a rough face and seeming to be rich, one will inevitably have evil intentions, so that's another story.

Zhang Shiping naturally discovered these people early on, but he didn't care, and he didn't intend to have any interaction with these people.

"Get out of the way, let me get out of the way." Zhang Shiping was walking when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front of him, and someone shouted non-stop. The pedestrians on the street hurriedly avoided, and the vendor quickly moved his stall inward. some.

Zhang Shiping dodged a little along with the people around him.

As soon as he stepped in, six or seven horses came and rushed along the road. The leader was a white horse, and on the saddle was a sassy girl dressed as a teenager. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. The whip lashed out, and the horse galloped, rushing across the road like the wind.Behind her was a few cavalry, all of them in green cloth short clothes, with a calm breath, not like ordinary servants, more like Jianghu masters.

Among the short-clothed and bare-footed men who followed behind Zhang Shiping, one of them didn't seem to hear the previous shout for some reason. When he realized it, he passed the green-clothed rider behind the woman. Fortunately, In the end, he narrowly dodged away, but the whole person also fell to the side in embarrassment, smashed into a small stall, his things were scattered all over the ground, and he clutched his chest on the ground and wailed nonstop.

"Oh, I hit someone, I hit someone to death." The men who were walking with him shouted quickly.

The woman pulled up the rein and stopped the horse with a squeak, she turned her head and saw that there were some porters and coolies, she didn't care, she just shouted crisply: "Si, handle the matter well, and follow up. "

After she finished speaking, she made a sound of 'driving', and the whip slapped in the air, leading the rest of the people towards the city gate quickly.

The Ah Si in the woman's mouth was a rather heroic middle-aged man, and after hearing the woman's order, he responded and immediately got off the horse.

The short-clothed and barefoot men who were yelling at the side saw a few people running away, and while yelling, they surrounded the middle-aged man named Ah Si.One of them went up and pulled the rein, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

But the man was not in a hurry, he didn't look at these people, but at this moment a big black man with a big arm and a round waist climbed down from the second floor of a nearby restaurant and ran over in a hurry.This man was tall and strong, but his movements were extremely clean and neat. Once he landed, his movements didn't show the slightest sloppy movement, and his steps were two or three feet away.But as soon as he came, he immediately slapped those short-clothed and bare-footed men four or five times with his cattail palm without saying a word, directly slapping them all.

Those few people seemed to recognize the big black man, they didn't dare to turn back, and just hugged and dodged.

"Okay, you don't have to play prestige in front of me." Na Ah Si looked at him coldly for a while, then waved his hand to stop.

"Fourth Master, these are newcomers, they don't have eyes, you have a lot of adults, you have a lot of adults!" The black man turned around and said with a charming smile.

"Next time, if there are people who don't have long-sighted eyes and bump into me right away, don't blame me for not giving Hei Jiao face. There are a lot of gangs in Hengzhou City who can do things, and there is no need for one of your Hei Jiao Gang." The blue cloth jacket The young man said in a deep voice.

After speaking, he took out two dimes of silver from his pocket and threw it to the stall owner, then got on his horse and gave chase.

The stall owner grabbed the silver on the ground with a happy smile, and quickly put it in his arms.

The big black man strode towards the man who was still lying on the ground, grabbed him, threw him to the others, and said fiercely: "You guys who don't have eyes, how dare you blackmail that man?" Could it be that you are looking for death on this nobleman?"

Everyone gathered around and whispered.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping had a slight smile on his face, turned around and disappeared from the crowd.

……

……

And just when Zhang Shiping first stepped into Hengzhou City.

In Prince Naheng's mansion, the back garden.

There was an old man with chicken skin and white hair, dressed in common clothes, and outside the pavilion, he was slowly punching to strengthen his body, so as to relax his muscles and blood.

It's just that when the fight was halfway through, it suddenly stopped and turned around to see an old man in brocade clothes rushing over.

"Cai Daoyou, why do you have time to find the old man today?" The old man in plain clothes said with a smile when he saw the person coming.

"Brother Zhiyu, Cai came here this time to ask Xia Zhiyu if he has ever been back?" asked the old man in brocade clothes with a worried expression on his face.

"Isn't my elder brother invited to your Cai's house by the head of your family? Why did you ask me? Why, what happened?" Zhang Zhiyu was surprised when he heard this, and his face changed suddenly.

At this moment, the old man in brocade clothes showed a look of hesitation.

"The old man also wants to know what happened?" At this moment, a monk in blue shirt appeared outside the pavilion and walked towards the two of them.

The fallen Zhiyu and the clothed old man Zhiyu are brothers of the same mother, and both came from the lineage of King Zhang Guoheng.It's just that the two brothers have different aptitudes and opportunities. They both practiced for more than a hundred years. One established the foundation and became the elder of the Zhang family's foundation. year.

Zhang Shiping sent someone to Xiaofenggu, and Na Zhiyu took over the task precisely because he was born in Zhang State.Based on Zhang Shiping's guess.He should go back to Prince Heng's Mansion, so that's why he came here first.

Chapter 665

The two of them were startled when they saw the monk in green shirt suddenly appear, but Zhang Zhijuan saw the appearance of the person coming, and his expression suddenly became respectful. He immediately folded his hands together, with his left hand on top, palms facing inward, slowly raised his forehead to his forehead, and bent over. He said: "Zhijue pays homage to the ancestor."

When another old man in brocade clothes heard this, his face showed surprise, and he also bowed down: "Cai Min from the Cai family in Shilun Mountain pays homage to Master Zhang."

"Get up." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

After getting up, Cai Min also seemed to understand why Zhang Shiping came here, but he still felt lucky.Zhang Zhijuan also suddenly understood, with a sad expression on his face.

Zhang Shiping saw the appearance of the two, and said to Zhang Zhijuan with unchanged expression: "It seems that you also understand when your brother came to you, when did you leave with the head of the Cai family, and where did you go together? Who else? Let me tell you what you know, what happened, why I came to the secular world to do a small thing, and actually broke a foundation of my Zhang family!"

"Old Ancestor, Elder Brother brought Bijue, Biyong, and a child from the Chen family back from Xiaofenggu ten days ago, and stayed here for a few days. When the foundation-building monks from the Cai, Yu, and Shan families heard that Elder had come here, They left together six days ago. The disciples of the three families were in a valley, and they happened to see a tree of shoushou tree spirit fruit that was about to ripen. The three families had a dispute, so they invited the elder brother to go to do justice. The elder brother thought it was just a matter of passing , By the way, he also got a piece of spiritual fruit, but he didn't want to go, he actually, unexpectedly..." Zhang Zhijuan said sadly after hearing the sad news.The two brothers have been together for more than a hundred years. They thought he would go ahead, but they didn't want to say goodbye more than ten days ago, and the two are separated by heaven and man!

"Don't be sad." Zhang Shiping said, he walked over and patted Zhang Zhijuan on the shoulder.

The life and death of our monks, Chang Er!

After comforting the younger generation, Zhang Shiping turned to look at Cai Min, and said in a cold voice, "Zhiyu and your Cai family and a few other Zhuji went with them. Since they have suffered an accident, then Yu, Shan Do you know the situation of the two foundation establishments?"

From the last scene that Zhiyu ordered the lamp to see, Zhang Shiping could also infer the fate of the monks of the Yu and Shan families.

"Returning to Master Zhang, the younger generation is not clear about the situation of their two families. Although our family is in Zhang State, the relationship is not very harmonious. The younger generation is worried that the two of them will kill me, the head of the Cai family, so I came here first. Ask Brother Zhijue to find out about the situation." Cai Min said cautiously.

There are only so many spiritual veins in Zhang Guo, except for the Wuyu Mountain near Zhang Jiaguo's capital, the remaining second-level spiritual lands are only the land of their seven families, and there are not many foundation-building monks in each of their families, only two or three people That's all, there are cooperation and disputes with each other.

The only remaining Elder Establishment of the Cai family, when he saw the patriarch's soul stone shattered, what he was most worried about was that Yu and Shan's Establishment would join forces to do harm.As for whether Zhang Zhiyu was involved, in the opinion of the elder of the Cai family, the possibility is extremely low.

After all, as the Jindan family, the Zhang family is not based in a secular place like Zhang Guo, so naturally they look down on the spiritual land of their seven families.And if the Zhang family wanted to, they could have done it more than a hundred years ago, and there is no need to wait until now.

What's more important is that even if the other two join forces, unless they are out of their wits and bring about a catastrophe enough to exterminate their own family, they will never dare to take action against Zhang Zhiyu.

That's why the elders of the Cai family sent Cai Min to Prince Heng's mansion to find out about the situation with Zhang Zhijuan right away, to see if Zhiyu, the Zhang family's foundation builder, was alive or dead?

"Where did they go, you should know?" Zhang Shiping said.

"I know, about two hundred miles to the north, there is a deep valley in the unnamed stone peak forest at the junction of Hengzhou and Changzhou." Cai Min nodded quickly and pointed to the north.

"That's good." Zhang Shiping said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't see any movement. The blue frost sword around his body flew from his sleeve, and with a blue light, he wrapped Cai Min. The two of them turned into blue rainbows and soared into the sky.

Seeing that he flew up into the sky in the blink of an eye, Cai Min felt a little panicked when he was surrounded by azure light and couldn't get his feet on the ground. But he calmed down immediately, and used the terrain near Hengzhou City to distinguish the next direction. , and hurriedly spoke out to guide the way for Zhang Shiping, the Jindan real person.

But half an hour later, a blue rainbow flew over from a distance.

"Master Zhang, that's the valley. It's strange, how come there are so many trees growing there, and there were no such trees half a month ago." Cai Min said suspiciously.

Not far from the front, there are two stone peaks facing each other. The peaks are all white stones, and there is no green plant growing there. However, in the valley of the two peaks, there are vines and trees growing in the valley. Even though the sky is scorching hot at this moment, the valley is still gray. Covered by black clouds and mist, there is no sign of dissipating at all, so it seems abrupt and strange.

Zhang Shiping stopped seven or eight miles away, he activated his spiritual thoughts, penetrated his body, and arrived at the valley in an instant.

It's just that as soon as the spiritual sense touched the gray fog, Zhang Shiping clearly felt a resistance, and faintly absorbed and consumed the divine sense he had stimulated, this feeling instantly made his face darken.

Usually, the spiritual sense of a monk who has cultivated in the late stage of Jindan can perceive a range of about seventy or eighty miles in the air without being hindered by anything in the air, but that is only a vague induction.However, if you have cast tracking spells or other means under the opponent, then with this vague induction, you can find the opponent's location.

But if there is no preparation in advance, in order to detect some clues more clearly, you can only narrow the scope of your own spiritual perception.However, if the spiritual thoughts pass through tangible and qualitative objects such as soil, vegetation, etc., they will be more or less hindered.
