longevity road trip

"Fellow Daoist Shiheng, for the sake of my old face, please spare this little disciple's life." True Monarch Lingyun begged again.

"The elders are talking, why are you interrupting, it's rude! Fellow Daoist, you can take your apprentice away." Zhang Shiping lightly shouted at the two of them.

Then the sound transmission said to the two juniors: "Although this place is at the border of our two sects, but with this Minjiang River as the boundary, the place where it is now is on the side of Lingji Cave. How the other party manages it is their business." .”

Although his current strength is much higher than that of Lingyun Zhenjun, but he is also a Nascent Soul cultivator in Nanzhou. If he doesn't really want to get rid of the other party, then he must save some face for each other.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist." Lingyun Zhenjun cupped his hands and said.

However, just after the two Nascent Soul cultivators finished speaking, unexpectedly, the middle-aged Golden Core cultivator on the other side sneered, and said urgently:

"The two of you have lived in vain for decades, and you still talk about the great precepts of the practice world. It is really naive. In the past, your master clan sacrificed blood to hundreds of thousands of mortals in a city, and he let it go lightly. There are only a few thousand people, so learn from it!"

In just one breath, this person uttered a series of words in succession.

As soon as these words came out, Lingyun Zhenjun's expression changed immediately, his face was full of disbelief, he couldn't believe how his disciple would seek his own death like this?

Sure enough, Zhang Shiping's face was as gloomy as frost at this moment, and he said in a cold voice, "You're courting death."

Immediately, he stepped out of the silver-scale formation, facing forward with one hand, and with five fingers spread out, billowing black flames suddenly ignited in the mid-air in front of him from all directions for no reason, and swept away like a huge wave, whistling away, killing Master Lingyun. This divine soul incarnation, and his disciples are also shrouded in it.

The next moment, the soul incarnation touched the black flame, and disappeared immediately.

And Zhenjun Lingyun, who was pacing back and forth in a Lingshan cave mansion far away in Lingji Cave, suddenly turned pale, and a mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat, like a blood arrow spurting out.

"It's rare for the soul to be condensed to such a degree. Damn it, who is plotting against this old man, and actually manipulated my apprentice, trying to make me and Shiheng form a death feud? No, no, This matter must be explained clearly, otherwise my Lingji Cave will be in danger!" Lingyun Zhenjun said angrily.

This master and apprentice have been together for hundreds of years, and he can't understand his disciple's temperament very well, and the other party will definitely not be so stupid.

There is also the matter of the Zhang family's life sacrifice to a city of [-] mortals, even he doesn't know about it, let alone his apprentice, a mere Golden Core cultivator?

Therefore, in this instant, Zhenjun Lingyun had already speculated about the matter, and at the same time, he couldn't help but start to worry about the existence and extinction of the sect, for fear that Shiheng would be angry and take advantage of this opportunity to destroy it .

After all, in the past few years, the Jiusha Hall among the nine sects in Nanzhou was destroyed by Xuanyuanzong, and the Huanyinzong was annexed by Mingxinzong because the previous Huayin Zhenjun destroyed the Jiang family.

Right now, Ming Xinzong has passed away because of Xu Yuanhui and Bi Yunquan, and Jiang Ruoliu, following the order of his master Yu Xing, returned to Wanjianmen and took charge of Wanjianjianzang.

Now Mingxin Sect is dead in name only, not Yuanying Sect.

It's only been more than a hundred years, and the nine sects can be considered to have gone to the three sects at once. How can Master Lingyun not worry that Lingji Cave will follow in his footsteps?

Among the Nanzhou, only five sects survive forever, as for the other Nascent Soul sects, they are like flowers blooming and fading, changing after another.

And in the county government office in that mountain city, Zhang Shiping held a golden pill in his hand, and the frosty color on his face did not fade away.

Because he sensed a very familiar qi from this golden elixir, which was done by that old fellow Shui Yueyuan Bai Yuheng.

Since the other party wants to know where the Blood God Realm is and how to get in and out, he will definitely not do what the other party wants.Because the five sects are subject to the oath of the yin and ming, the two of them are not easy to do anything, so they can only use some methods in private.

What's more, Bai Yuheng is in charge of Shuiyueyuan's inheritance of Yuejinlun, and Zhang Shiping thinks that he is invincible to the opponent.

However, there is a saying that the revenge of the ten generations can still be avenged. When the other party's longevity is exhausted and the hatred dies, then he can almost break through to the late Yuanying stage, and then he will settle the account with the Bai family and Bai Shiyu.

"Master, is what that person said true? It's true that a hundred thousand mortals were sacrificed with blood, but nothing happened?" Du Mingan asked in disbelief.

"Uncle Master." Li Jiantong said in a low voice.

"That's right, it's true." Zhang Shiping didn't deny it either, he casually squeezed the golden elixir and turned it into billowing spiritual energy.

There is Bai Yuheng's method here, if it is kept, the other party will inevitably find out some clues, it is better to destroy it, so as not to leave future troubles!

"Could it be that in the eyes of Master, the life of a mortal is not a life, and the life of a low-ranking monk is not a life? What is right and wrong in this world?" Du Mingan recalled the past and said in a low voice.

"In this world, benevolence and righteousness are at the limit, right and wrong are confused, and good and evil cannot be debated. You need to find the answer to your question yourself. Even if you are a teacher, you can't impose your own ideas on you." Zhang Shiping looked at Looking at the sky, he said softly.

……

……

Chapter 1017 The Method of Guiding

Hearing this, Du Ming'an and Li Jiantong showed puzzled expressions, and were puzzled by what Zhang Shiping was saying right now.

Could it be that there is no distinction between black and white in this world, and benevolence and righteousness are unclear?

"Tao is hidden in small achievements, and words are hidden in glory. The right and wrong of the world is based on what is wrong rather than what is. You can only understand it. Cultivate your own methods and follow your own way, and you will be able to achieve something in the future. Don't just know how to pick up people's teeth and make them look like others!" Zhang Shiping patted the shoulders of both of them, and said in a slow voice.

He has great expectations for these two!

Whether it is Du Ming'an with the root of the underworld, or Li Jiantong with the body of the wood spirit, under the cultivation of Xuan Yuanzong, it is actually only a matter of time before the Nascent Soul is born.

In order to prevent the two of them from progressing too fast in their practice, Zhang Shiping deliberately suppressed it a little bit.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the former is already at the Golden Core cultivation base, and the latter has reached the foundation establishment at least.

There are only a few Jindan monks in their sixties who have been recorded in the sect's classics since ancient times.

However, among these celestial arrogances, it is not uncommon for those who stop at Nascent Soul and never become gods all their lives.

Now that Du Ming'an is the root of the underworld, it is easier to go extreme.This point is not a shortcoming in today's small world, but it is more suitable for practicing "The Law of Enlightenment and Transformation of God".

However, Bai Yuheng was very sophisticated in his actions, relying on this trick alone, this person wanted to lead him into a path that even Venerable Hongyue hadn't walked through.

If Du Ming'an is already a Nascent Soul cultivator now, it's okay to say, at least it won't have any effect on breaking through to the stage of transformation.

However, he has just established his foundation and cultivation now, and when he breaks through the two great realms of Jindan and Yuanying, he is still haunted by demons.If at this time, you have already fallen into a maze, then the result is another story.

Watching the two of them sinking into deep thought, Zhang Shiping didn't bother, and waited quietly.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the eyes of the two juniors regained their luster.

"How?" Zhang Shiping asked unhurriedly.

"I still don't know the true meaning of it, I hope I will do more and see more in the future." Du Ming'an sighed, then looked at Li Jiantong, the two nodded as a sign, and smiled at each other.

"Uncle, Ming An and I have been in the secret realm of the sect since the beginning of our practice, and our experience is shallow. We will travel again to seek answers." Li Jiantong said.

"That's fine, let's go." A smile appeared on Zhang Shiping's face, his apprentice has been quietly comprehending the method of "Pure and Turbid View" for many years, after all, he has gained something.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other in this world, and Bai Yuheng's move may actually help them both.

Of course, when these two juniors go out on a trip, he will send a ray of spirit around him to protect them well, and block Bai Yuheng or other people in the five sects from secretly playing tricks.

But there is no need to talk about this kind of thing. It is the meaning of the existence of the sect to protect the latecomers from the wind and rain, and wait for the small tree to grow into a towering tree.

As he said that, his soul incarnation gradually changed from reality to emptiness, and then turned into a ray of light, submerged into Du Mingan's body.

"Congratulations to send Master."

"Congratulations to my uncle."

The two bowed their hands and said.

Before leaving, they removed the monster snake, and then found a ghost hidden here, and finally pulled out the phantom formation in the mountain city.

As for those insane people in the city, they had no choice but to leave some food and money for those who were still sane, and they did their best.

On the way, the two walked slowly in parallel in the mountains.

"Ming An, don't think too much. Uncle Shi or the head of the sect has already seen too much life and death, so their views on things are naturally different from ours." Li Jiantong said.

"You said hundreds of years later, do we still remember what it looks like now?" Du Mingan asked.

"People are like running water, and like vegetation, changing all the time, but as long as we have experienced it, we may forget it, but there are traces of existence." Li Jiantong said.

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the trunk of a big tree beside him. Because of the body of the wood spirit, he could clearly feel the vitality contained in it.Although invisible to the naked eye, it is constantly changing.

This one is being reborn, but the next one is beginning to decay.

But everything is in the annual rings. It can be seen that these trees have experienced torrential rains or droughts over the years.

"A person as lofty as Master is also born from weakness. I'm afraid that in the future, when we have such a cultivation level, we will forget what we see and think today, and we will take it for granted. But the master is right, cultivate your own way, find your own way, and find your true self. Human beings are always growing and changing, no matter what we look like in the future, we will still be us." Du Mingan sighed, Open your mouth and say.His eyes changed from confusion to firmness gradually.

"Traveling thousands of miles and meeting thousands of people, I hope we can all gain something!" Li Jiantong said, holding out his hand.

Seeing this, Du Mingan clapped their hands together, and hearty laughter spread across the mountains.

On the other side, it is nearly a thousand feet deep in the Rifted Wind Valley, the secret place of the Free Wind.

I saw the darkness here, suddenly thousands of flames appeared, merged into one place, and turned into a slender figure.

"These two children." Zhang Shiping said with a smile.After five or six years of recuperation, his cultivation has now returned to the level of the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

However, for these two juniors who have just started practicing, this is actually just a step or two.

Zhang Shiping didn't feel very happy about this. Over the past few years, he began to comprehend "The Law of Enlightening Void and Transforming God", which can be regarded as some gains.

From between the lines, he could see a trace of truth upheld by the Venerable Xuanji who created this exercise.This method is not a smooth road to heaven that has been opened up by the predecessors, but just a method of guidance, so that the latecomers can recognize themselves.

The so-called mana is just an accompaniment obtained from practice, not the root of longevity.There are too many monks who pursue foreign objects such as high or low mana, sharp utensils, etc., so they fall into confusion without knowing it, and they are ignoring the basics and chasing the last.

These monks don't know that if they want to go from Yuanying to Huashen, they need to understand why they are practicing and what they are doing, so that they can get out of this barrier with a little inspiration.

If he really wants to comprehend the "The Law of Enlightenment and Transformation of God" by the way of unifying all things, he needs to break away from the shackles imposed by the secular concept and self for hundreds of years, and forget the difference between things and ourselves , Forget about right and wrong.

Don't cling to my views, abandon my views, observe things with the heart, observe things with the Tao, and see the essence.

It's just that Zhang Shiping has not yet reached such a state, he is no longer obsessed with the so-called good and evil in the world, but he is still in the state of observing things with things, and still has the concept of right and wrong, good and evil.

In other words, he is still in the situation where mountains are not mountains, and water is not water.

Chapter 1018

Although Bai Yuheng's move may not have any impact on his apprentice, but since the other party has already made a move, he can't ignore it anymore.

In the past, Zhang Shiping had nothing to do, but now he is not completely helpless.

He temporarily stopped his practice, and flew out from the bottom of Rifting Wind Valley, trying to get out of the secret realm.

And Yi Changqiu has already rushed over from the courtyard at this moment, just happened to see this scene, and asked from a distance of seventy or eighty miles, "Shiheng, what happened, do you need my help?"

"No need, your current cultivation base is at the right time to improve, so you don't want to be distracted by external things. This time, it's just an old guy who is dying and can't see my clan's talents." Zhang Shiping shook his head and said.

"Old guy? Bai Yuheng or Minglin?" Yi Changqiu thought for a while, and locked on to the two.

"Bai Yuheng." Zhang Shiping didn't hide anything, and said calmly.

Ever since Shui Yueyuan's previous generation of great monks from Nanming ascended to the Linglong Realm, this Bai Yuheng only inherited the position of master by picking out the taller one from the shorter ones.

Although this person is an old-fashioned mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, in terms of his talent, if it weren't for Shuiyueyuan's massive supply of spiritual objects, it would definitely be impossible to advance to the late stage in this life.

But that's the way it is now, the late stage cultivation base that was barely reached, and because of his own lifespan, he became more eager for quick success and quick benefits as he got to the later stage, and only relied on the inheritance in the blood god realm, and wanted to use this as a help.

Just like the nine ancestors of the clan more than [-] years ago, there is no need to comprehend "The Law of Enlightenment and Transformation of Gods", and they can directly break through the transformation of gods.

Over the years, what this person has done shows that there are too many schemes hidden in his heart, which instead polluted his energy and spirit and delayed his practice.

"In the end, this person is still the head of the sect. He has a spirit treasure to protect him, so he is not easy to deal with. You have to be careful!" Yi Changqiu reminded with some worry.

"Everything in the world is like a game of chess, and the players just lose their pieces. Since he dares to attack this junior Ming An, he should also think of my counterattack methods. Let's see, sometimes his heart hurts." Zhang Shiping sneered.

As for Li Jiantong, he did not say.After all, before his death, Qiu Cong had confessed that he should not let others know before he formed the alchemy.

The body of the wood spirit is a superior spirit body of the five elements, and it is extremely easy to be coveted by others.

"Do you want to inform Du Yu?" Yi Changqiu asked.

"No need. He knows almost everything about this matter. I'll go and arrange this matter first, and we'll talk about it later." Zhang Shiping shook his head.

Hearing this, Yi Changqiu nodded and said softly: "Okay."

After all, the two of them don't go.

……

……

Half an hour later, Xuanyuan Hall.

From the sky above Yuanxiao City, two rays of light came swiftly, landing in front of the main hall one after another.

The two of them turned their bodies away to escape the light, only to see that the visitors were a man and a woman.

The man's figure is thin, with a straight waist, wearing a blue Confucian shirt, with a bookish look all over his body.

The other one is a female cultivator dressed in elegant clothes, with a beautiful face, but there are a few shallow wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which shows that she is not that young.

But at this moment in the hall, Zhang Shiping is already sitting cross-legged on the futon of the main seat, and an old man with yellow eyebrows and white hair is also sitting on the first seat on the lower left, his eyes are slightly closed, his eyes are hidden.

"Meet the ancestor, Zhan Kun is late."

"Xinhua pays homage to the ancestor."

The two walked in quickly, and immediately bowed their hands as they entered the door.
