longevity road trip

After cultivating to Yuanying, it is regarded as another kind of living being, the species of longevity, it is now, and it will be the same in the future.

It is precisely because of this that in the decades since Zhang Shiping arrived in Yuanying, because of his own realm, he began to look at things from different angles. Many things in his practice, those doubts he had, began to truly become clear in his heart .

And it is no longer looking at what the predecessors said, half understanding.

Just when Zhang Shiping saw that Zhang Bixing had gained something, he nodded and chuckled, suddenly his face changed, and he looked towards the northeast with a serious expression.

"Old Ancestor, what's the matter?" Zhang Bixing asked.

Zhang Shiping flicked his sleeves, sat down cross-legged immediately, and said in a deep voice, "Protect me."

"Yes." Zhang Bixing responded immediately upon hearing this,

Although he didn't know what happened, but with a thought, he immediately called out a scarlet flying sword, and at the same time pressed one hand on the yellow wine gourd at his waist, his spiritual consciousness came out through his body, and he was alert to the wind and grass in all directions.

At this moment, Zhang Shiping had closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, somehow connected with a ray of soul that had been separated.

On the other side, in Shuiyueyuan Red Copper Spirit Mountain, Zheng Hengyun was bound by a magic weapon in the shape of a hemp rope, and fell to the ground unable to move.

And the more than ten Zhang family's Qi refining monks nearby, all of them have faces like gold paper, and they seem to be under great pressure.

In front of everyone, there was a feminine man with a white face and no beard who was looking around, and said angrily from behind:

"I remember that you are a monk of the Golden Core of the Zhang family, and you seem to be called Zheng Hengyun. Don't you know that this place belongs to me, Shuiyueyuan, and even mine this red copper spirit mine without permission. I don't know if Daoist Shiheng knows? If he can't teach Good junior, then I will give him a good discipline. But for the sake of fellow Daoist Shiheng, this death penalty can be avoided, and I will cut off your arm today, so that you can understand what is called rules!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and emitted a green sword light, heading towards Zheng Hengyun.

However, when this sword light touched Zheng Hengyun, it was scattered by a sudden appearance of light and shadow.

Then the light and shadow twisted and turned into Zhang Shiping.

"Brother Shiyu, don't come here without any problems!" Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly.

"So it's Brother Shiping, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time. But I hope fellow Taoist can explain to me about this place." Bai Shiyu cupped his hands and said.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Shiping said.

"I think this red copper spirit mine has been mined seven or eight times. If you don't give me an explanation, you can't justify it. After all, this is the secular kingdom under my Shuiyueyuan, and the spirit mine in it is natural. It's also part of my clan." Bai Shiyu said in a deep voice.

"Brother Shiyu laughed, I just found out about this. Since this is Shuiyueyuan's territory, then Hengyun, you can bring everyone back. If this kind of thing happens in the future, pay attention to it, so that nothing bad happens Necessary misunderstanding." Zhang Shiping's tone was indifferent.

"The spirit mine that friend Daoist mined and stole earlier should also be handed back." Bai Shiyu said.

"I just discovered this spiritual mine not long ago. It was already like this at that time. I don't know who mined the red copper in it. I thought it was because your Shuiyueyuan family had a big business, and I didn't like the rest What if the mine is abandoned for a little thing? Hengyun, you hand over all the spiritual mines in your hands to Fellow Daoist Shiyu." Zhang Shiping said.

"Friend Daoist, your ability to open your eyes and tell lies is getting better and better." Bai Shiyu chuckled lightly.

Then he stretched out his hand to grab it, and the binding rope on Zheng Hengyun's body was loosened and flew into his sleeve.

"Thank you fellow daoist." Zhang Shiping said.

"Fellow Daoist Shiheng, how about we talk in another place?" Bai Shiyu invited.

Zhang Shiping thought for a while, then nodded, and flew towards the distance together with him.

Chapter 788

After a while, the two appeared in Huayuan City, the nearest city, and walked side by side along the street.

Although this phantom body is only transformed by Zhang Shiping's divine thoughts and has no real form, it is not difficult for him to use a little illusion to appear in front of the naked eyes of ordinary people.

"Brother Shiyu frightens my younger generations like this, bullying the younger with the big ones, it's really disrespectful. You came here on purpose today, you don't just want to chat with me, right?" Zhang Shiping asked in a calm tone.

Today's Huayuan City has more traces of the charm of time than when he came eight or 90 years ago.

However, those mortals in the city have been replaced generation after generation, but the life of most people is the same as before.

He looked at the shops along the street in the city. The signboards were more than three feet high, lacquered with gold, or inlaid with mottled bamboo, or engraved with gold plates, with images of white sheep and black donkeys on them as signs.As for the horizontal plaques and couplets in the wine shops, or the high-hanging blue and white wine screens, there are also wooden poppy, tin cups and tassels of various colors hanging in front of several shops.

With the breeze, the wine and tassels flutter.

All of a sudden, the sound of gongs rang in front of us, and a few dark-skinned and tall guards rode straight forward on rough-haired horses, shouting loudly, "Congratulations to Mr. Lin Fu, Da'an Fang High School!" , Congratulations to Mr. Lin, Linfu, Daanfang, for passing high school."

Holding the reins in their hands, these people turned south, ran in towards the gate of Da'an Square, and came to a small courtyard with low walls and gray tiles. They quickly turned over and climbed off their horses, taking three steps as fast as two He ran over, holding the rusty iron door knocker, and slapped vigorously while shouting loudly.

A gray-haired old man inside heard the sound, and hurriedly ran out of the room staggeringly, asking repeatedly: "But I was hit, but I was hit?"

In the past, the three servants who were arrogant and did not even look at the poor scholar half-eyed, now with flattery on their faces, bent over and scrambled to reach out to help the old man.

One person was quicker and took the lead to help him up. He said joyfully, "I got it, I got it. Congratulations to Mr. Lin from high school."

Neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood flocked to hear the sound, and they also expressed their joy repeatedly, as if they were the ones in high school, looking proud.

The old man also straightened his back at this moment, and then suddenly thought of something, immediately pushed away the guard who was supporting him, reached into his arms, took out a gray cloth money bag, and poured out two or three pieces of broken silver. A dozen or so copper plates.

He generously put all the money into the hands of an officer, coughed a few times, and said in a solemn voice: "These are my rewards for the three of you, master, take them to drink tea, and go to have some fun."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." The three guards smiled even more when they saw the silver and copper coins.

But soon there was a second wave and a third wave of news reports, all the way beating gongs and drums, and shouting loudly all the way to announce the good news.

The old man's face was even more joyful, and the decades of worthlessness seemed to be gone, but soon he frowned slightly with his empty purse.

Fortunately, a rich middle-aged man in silk and satin clothes, with the appearance of a country gentleman, pushed away the crowd under the protection of his servants, trotted to the old man, and said with a low eyebrow, "Congratulations to the third uncle's high school, congratulations to the third uncle's high school!" .”

Seeing this person, the old man snorted slightly with displeasure.

The middle-aged man immediately yelled and scolded the servants in black who were carrying the baskets behind him, "Did you guys not eat, why don't you hurry up and bring your things here."

The servants ran over quickly, panting heavily, and put down the two baskets covered with red cloth.

The middle-aged man immediately lifted the red cloth, and saw that it was full of golden copper coins. He grabbed several handfuls and threw them out, while shouting: "This is a reward from the old man, everyone is very happy." , there will also be a noble person in the family in the coming year."

Then he stepped forward again, took out a few pieces of silver, and sent the announcer away.

At this moment, the old man's complexion improved a lot.

And the scene here naturally fell into the consciousness of Zhang Shiping and Bai Shiyu in the distance.

Bai Shiyu didn't answer Zhang Shiping's words immediately, but instead asked: "Brother Shiping, look at that ordinary man who is old and was just a poor scholar a moment ago, but as soon as the rankings are released, his status immediately becomes different. When a person becomes an official in the future, should he be honest or corrupt?"

"Human nature is greedy, greedy for glory and wealth, greedy for power and beauty, greedy for immortality." Zhang Shiping shook his head lightly and said slowly.

When Bai Shiyu heard this, he laughed loudly, causing the pedestrians around to turn their heads and pay attention.

However, when the passers-by saw Bai Shiyu in a fine attire, they quickly turned their heads away, thinking that he was a bold and unrestrained person.

"Brother Shiyu agreed to Misty Valley, or was he greedy for something?" Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly.

"The few of us and fellow Taoists in Xuanming Palace are just greedy for the word 'equilibrium'. The Red Moon Tower is powerful, so Misty Valley cannot be destroyed. You Xuanyuanzong and Bixiao Palace are powerful, so we Shuiyue Yuan and Xuanming Palace are going to help Misty Valley. Everything here is nothing more than a way of balance. Over the years, the two seniors, Qing He and Yu Dan, have achieved Huashen. In the next few thousand years, Nanzhou will follow the lead of your two sects. Brother Shiping, what do you think about this?" Bai Shiyu said.

"As you said, Patriarch and Senior Yu Dan have already ascended to the spirit world, so what is your concern? In the end, it's nothing but worrying." Zhang Shiping said with a chuckle.

"Preparing for a rainy day is the way to go. I don't know if my explanation is satisfactory, Fellow Daoist?" Bai Shiyu shook his head and said.

"It's human nature, this kind of thing is normal. But if it's just such a trivial matter, there's no need to force me to show up, right?" Zhang Shiping said.

Although this spirit doesn't have a great influence on him, it's better not to consume it if it can't be consumed.

"Fellow daoists have already practiced the method of exchanging yuan and turning souls to such a high level. My soul is as far away as a monk of the same level. This mere loss of soul is nothing but a trivial matter to fellow daoists." Bai Shiyu said.

"It seems that the noble sect has been very concerned about my affairs all these years!" Zhang Shiping said without changing his expression.

"I'm just lamenting the profound blessings of Taoist friends. Not to mention the Nine Birds Order, but also the favor of Venerable Xiao, I passed down this "Changing Yuan and Turning Soul". "The Method of Returning to an Infant from Crude Crossing" can also be included in the bag, and together with the "Blood Soul Refining Formation" that we have sealed up, wouldn't the three methods of clan inheritance be complete?" Bai Shiyu said with a sigh.

"In that case, the noble clan must have contacted the monks of the clan." Zhang Shiping asked.

"Haha, I just like to talk to smart people. I can understand everything. I'm not like some guys who have broken their minds and are very rigid. Venerable Hongyue is no longer there. I don't know that the big monk Xuan Yu is still stubborn. What are you looking for?" Bai Shiyu laughed.

Chapter 789 The meaning of the drunkard

"You should say this in front of Xuan Yu." Zhang Shiping said.

Bai Shiyu fastened the folding fan around his waist, spread out the light fan, and swayed gently with the movement of the oil-green Honey Knot Canaan fan pendant. He smiled and said:

"Then I don't dare. Now that the gods in the three realms are almost all gone, you should respect the big monks. Otherwise, even if there are more than ten fellow Taoists in Hongyuelou, everyone in Misty Valley will not be so afraid. But now It was also the time when Hongyuelou was at its weakest, and Yuan Ying, five surnames Cao, Chen, Zhao, Qin, and Shi, wanted to return from overseas, and fellow Daoist, you are a monk of the Xuanyuan Sect and a member of the Qin family, so what do you think?"

"Brother Shiyu, you are asking the wrong person. But Nanzhou is so big, where can they stay if they want to come back? But why did the clan come back with only five surnames and the other four? What are their plans? "Zhang Shiping said.

"Where they were in the past, they will be where they will be in the future. As for the other four families, overseas is the territory of the demon clan after all, and it is not a peaceful place." Bai Shiyu said.

"This is interesting. Even if the clan's strength has been greatly damaged over the years, it would not be so easy to destroy the four families? Don't say that it was because of the Red Moon Venerable." Zhang Shiping said.The reason why he said this is naturally clear.

Two to three thousand years ago, the nine major clans fled overseas. If they wanted to survive and reproduce, they naturally needed some good places to practice.

Even though the ancient ocean is vast and boundless, these spiritual islands are also places coveted by overseas monster races. Naturally, those monster lords will not give up the places that are enough for ten or twenty Nascent Souls and a large group of monks to practice so easily.

Even those demon kings couldn't help the clan Yuanying, but at that time there was still the demon king Suanni.

The Suanni family is the royal family of spirit beasts, and those demon kings will naturally ask the demon master to help.

And Venerable Hongyue even wanted to exterminate the overseas clans.

But fortunately, the Yaozun didn't intend to do so. It kept the Yuanying monks of the clan far away overseas, and secretly drew the attention of the Red Moon Building in Nanzhou.

The monks of the White Horse Temple in West Mo and Wanlingu also have a tacit understanding with them. They spread the teachings widely, and the Nascent Soul of the three tribes of the Golden Eagle, Golden Sword, and Golden Wolf in the Hanhai Moyuan of Nanzhou became their guardians. .

Among the four god-turning old monks in Baima Temple, there are three people and one demon.Although these three people are the same as Hongyue, but they practice different ways, and they can't walk together with Hongyue after all.

In addition, the Huashen venerables of the sea clan where the South China Sea and the North Sea were located at that time, such as Xuangui Ye Ning, Qingjiao Aoyu, and Heijiao Aolun, took advantage of the unstable situation in Nanzhou, and from time to time raised troops to attack the coastal waters of Nanzhou sea ​​line.

At that time, Hongyue, Xuanshan, and Xiao Chengwu drove away the clan, and their power was at its peak.

But even so, Xiao Chengwu had no choice but to go to the northern border, just to suppress the old Kun who was about to move in the North Mingxuan Palace.

And under the circumstances of this powerful enemy, the nasty incident of Misty Valley happened again.Originally, Hongyue wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to get inside first and then make peace outside, but at this time, Xifeng, who had betrayed Bixiao Palace, became Huashen at some point, and she stepped forward to save Misty Valley.

But this is not without cost. The Misty Valley was moved to the border of the barbarian domain. On the surface, it was guarding against the invasion of wild beasts, but secretly it was looking at the three major tribes in the vast sea and desert.

And Xuanyuanzong, Bixiao Palace, Shuiyueyuan, and Xuanming Palace also had to face the Sea Clan's soldiers because of the oppression of the Red Moon Venerable and their own sphere of influence bordering the Sea Clan.

The reason for this is all because Hongyue, Xuanshan, and Xiao Chengwu didn't want to tear themselves apart from the West Desert.After all, the Ximo side had no intention of destroying the Nanzhou human race just because of different teachings.

Facing the open guns and dark arrows of various forces, Hongyue and the others just relied on their power to fight for a chance.

In fact, it would not have been like this at all. The clan had three Huashen at that time, and the situation in Nanzhou was equally stable.

But the situation is different now, the clan has survived the most difficult time after all, but because the old Suanni captured the four Yuanying monks of the clan Zhou, Ming, Li, and Mu before coming to Baimang Mountain. If it didn't come back, then the monster king of the overseas spirit beast clan would have killed these Nascent Souls.

At that time, Venerable Hongyue knew that he was about to die, so he originally wanted to destroy the clan.But as soon as he arrived at Cangguyang, the old Suanni had already transferred the clan Yuanying, and followed him all the time, neither making a move nor leaving, and it took decades like this.

Although Venerable Hongyue is stronger than the old 狻猊, but because the old 狻猊 practiced "Illusory Luoyanjie" is best at saving his life.

Under the condition that it does not love to fight, Venerable Red Moon has nothing to do about it.

At that time, the reason why Venerable Hongyue was able to kill the last cultivator of the clan, Cao Zitong, was also due to the location of the Nanwu inner hall.Otherwise, how could it be so easy to separate life and death among the cultivators?

Even the Black Dragon Transformation God Ao Lun and Venerable Hongyue relied on the power of space nodes to introduce them into it with the help of Yangmou, and successfully weakened the strength of the Sea Clan just now.

The result was just as the old Suanni had expected, taking advantage of the great opportunity of the reunification of the demon soul, it ascended to the spirit world.

And because of this, the Yuanying of the four families was wiped out, and the strength of the clan was weakened by nearly half. As a result, they could not stay overseas anymore, and wanted to return to Nanzhou.

Bai Shiyu was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Shiping say this, and said, "It seems that Brother Shiping has learned a lot here, so what's your opinion? If the five surnames of the clan come back, then Hongyuelou will definitely not accept it." Will sit idly by."

Zhang Shiping frowned slightly, stopped and said in a deep voice:

"I remember that the sects in the old land of the Nanzhou clan are Fengqingmen, Lingshougu, Huanyinzong, Qingxiapai, Tianjianzong, Lingjidong, Dayanzong, Jiushadian, Yahaige, etc. Nine. They don’t want to see the clan return, do they? If they come back, then Nanzhou will no longer be peaceful. Nanzhou has just recuperated for less than a hundred years. If we go through this toss again, then our overall strength in Nanzhou will The weakest of the three realms may not be able to protect themselves in the future!"

"Brother Shiping, don't you think our five sects are much weaker than before?" Bai Shiyu said.

"Are you trying to lure wolves into the house and muddy the water? Then what good does it do us?" Zhang Shiping asked after thinking about it.

"Ming Xinzong!" Bai Shiyu said in a deep voice.The reason why he wanted to introduce the clan monks to Nanzhou was that he knew the consequences, but the drunkard's intention was not to drink.

"Ming Xinzong?" Zhang Shiping asked.

"Yes, it is Mingxinzong. It is rumored that the nine seniors who founded the clan, and the ancestor of Mingxinzong who established the clan, got inheritance from a certain ancient cave. It is precisely because of this that these ten talents have become monks who have become gods. Nowadays, it is more difficult for us to break through and achieve Huashen. We must not let go of the slightest opportunity. As for the news of this ancient cave, there may be a meeting with Mingxinzong. I don’t know if Brother Shiping is willing to join us If we get that opportunity, maybe we can go one step further." Bai Shiyu said.

"Do you think it's been so many years, how many things are there in that ancient cave? I'm afraid they've already plundered it all." Zhang Shiping said.

Hearing this, Bai Shiyu smiled and shook his head.

Chapter 790 The Kindness of Women

"Brother Shiping, do you think that a few Nascent Soul cultivators can scour the land of great power in ancient times? For Nascent Soul cultivators like me, let alone the majestic aura. Ordinary people can suffer. In the eyes of those Mahayana venerables, Nascent Soul cultivators are no different from ordinary people. The ten seniors of the clan and Mingxin Sect, at most, wandered around the periphery, how could they Too deep into it? Besides, the caves where those powerful monks are located are better than a secret place with a vast territory. As long as we can find clues related to it from Mingxinzong, we will definitely gain something from it!" Bai Shiyu lightly Shaking the folding fan, he said in a very affirmative tone.

"Are you sure? But I have read the records of the seniors of the sect at that time. After cleaning up the clan and the ten seniors of the Mingxin Sect who left the ancient Da Neng cave for several years, they met and re-entered, but for some reason they never met again. I couldn’t find the entrance, as if the cave had flown away out of thin air. The seniors of the Guizong should have recorded this matter, so maybe you haven’t read it?” Zhang Shiping calmly revealed a secret from 3 years ago .

"I have heard that Brother Shiping has a lot of knowledge, and I just realized today that this statement is true." Bai Shiyu put away the fan in his hand and clapped his hands.

"Then I'm puzzled. Since the cave has disappeared, even they can't find it. Then why are you so sure that you can find relevant clues from Mingxinzong? Brother Shiyu doesn't think what he said back and forth Are there really some contradictions?" Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly
