longevity road trip

……

Two days later, a green boat landed in the middle of a pile of rocks on a small island with a radius of more than [-] miles in the sea at nightfall.

"Cough cough..." Zhang Shiping, who was sitting in Qingling ancient boat, covered his mouth with his hands. His chest was a little stuffy and his throat was a little itchy. He couldn't help coughing a few times. He took out a white handkerchief from the storage bag, wiped the blood left at the corner of his mouth, and then used this handkerchief to wipe the blood in the palm of his hand.

Zhang Shiping put the handkerchief into the storage bag and got off the ancient Qingling boat.With a flash of Youyou Ling's light, the Ancient Qingling Boat became the size of a palm. Zhang Shiping grabbed it in his hand and put it into the storage bag.Then Zhang Shiping walked towards the pile of rocks, a place just enough for him to sit down, with a flick of his sleeve, a dozen or so flags of different colors flew out of his sleeve, or were stuck in the mess Among the stones, or submerged under the soil, he looked at the position of the formation flag, and pressed a khaki formation plate containing spirit stones in between a crack in the stone.

In the night, a few inaudible sounds of magic formulas spread far away, but were blown away by the wind.The pile of rocks, which was still a bit gloomy at first, is now like other places, with no light at all, and it is not without any spiritual energy fluctuations.

After Zhang Shiping left the stone cave of the teleportation circle, he didn't choose to fly directly into the high-altitude wind layer, but restrained his breath, just like ordinary foundation-building monks, in order not to attract attention, he drove the flying magic weapon on his way.

Although the speed of Yufeng Dunguang is faster there, the monks who can travel in such a place are most likely Jindan Daoist.Now that he was seriously injured, he flew away rashly. If people saw the truth, it would be extremely dangerous.Don't look at the Jindan monks who get along very politely and politely, but if there is an opportunity, there are many people who attack each other behind their backs.

Otherwise, why are there many Jindan families of Xuanyuanzong, or Jindan casual cultivators, the grievances and resentments between them are unclear.But as long as their grievances and grievances do not affect mortals, then Xuanyuanzong will not care about them and let them beat them to death.

For this point, people like Zhang Shiping who have stayed in the sect know the way of it very well.

He understands that this situation is because Xuan Yuanzong is indulging intentionally or unintentionally, for the so-called strategy of weakening its branches and strengthening its main branches.

In the territory ruled by Xuanyuanzong, his Xuanyuanzong is naturally the thickest tree trunk, while other small sects, Yuanying Jindan Foundation Establishment family, and even casual cultivators are all branches and leaves of trees. It can prosper, but the branches should not be too strong and compete with the main trunk for nutrients, which requires frequent pruning and pruning.

However, the people in charge of Xuanyuanzong also know this kind of thing, so they can only do it slowly, so as not to arouse their resistance. The balance of forces in the sect's territory guarantees Xuanyuanzong's own transcendent status!

For some disobedient small sects, families, and casual cultivators, Xuan Yuanzong didn't even have to end it himself, he only needed to give a little hint to his enemies, and the matter could be easily dealt with without leaving any complaints Come on, you can still get a name in the form of a peacemaker.

Regardless of whether it is a secular dynasty or a holy place in the world of cultivating immortals, the methods they have used from ancient times to the present are all similar in essence, and they can be fully described by using the mere word 'herdsman'.

The people, the weak people, the tired people, the humiliated people, and the poor people, the methods of controlling the people are nothing more than these five.

Chapter 352 Purple-backed turtle

Nearly eight days passed in a flash. Zhang Shiping, who was sitting cross-legged in the stone formation, held two shiny red middle-grade fire-attribute spirit stones in the palms of his knees. Under the refining and absorption of these two fire spirit stones, after all the aura in the two fire spirit stones was exhausted, the one on Zhang Shiping's left hand turned into white dust, while the other one on Zhang Shiping's right hand turned into white dust. Clear crystal.

White dust flowed out from between Zhang Shiping's fingers, Zhang Shiping opened his eyes, full of energy, he didn't see any signs of injury, and even the previous tiredness was swept away.He tossed the spirit stone crystal on his right hand that had exhausted his aura, and then gently pinched and twisted the bronze lamp wick with his thumb and forefinger.

In the South China Sea, the black and white sand gulls that were leisurely circling in groups on the sea surface were suddenly frightened and let out a few ear-piercing cries, and then the hundred or so sand gulls suddenly became a mess, and a dozen of them were heading towards the sea. In panic, the sand gull rushing towards the sea narrowly and narrowly dodged several flashes of spiritual light flying over.

However, these sand gulls were blown a little out of balance by the gale brought by these flying magic weapons, and fell into the sea water with a few thumps.

Whoa, whoa

The rest of the black and white sand gulls that flew higher kept screaming in surprise. In the panic just now, several sand gulls collided with each other, and several black and white sand gulls fluttered from the air, and were blown far away by the wind. place.

"Brother You, hurry up, there is an island ahead, don't fall down." Amidst these flashes of inspiration, a man driving a small brown boat sternly shouted at a person who was already one or two feet behind him .However, before the person behind him could hear what he shouted, it was covered by a thunderclap.

And Brother You in this population, before he could react, was enveloped by a cloud of white sunflower thunder. He was used as a defensive magic weapon sacrificed, including the Vajra Talisman, Armor Shield Talisman, Soft Water Talisman, etc. The defensive spell was like a thin piece of paper, which would break if poked, and when the misty divine thunder touched the person's skin, the person died before he could utter a scream.

"Brother You" the man let out a startled cry, appearing even more panicked.

"Brother Miao, be careful of the green eagles in the sky." Jin Yu, who was flying at the same speed as Miao Ren, yelled loudly. The huge cyan wind blade passed sideways from the side of the flying boat under his feet. He and the other person who were traveling with him swayed like snakes, dodging a dozen or so cyan flying blades flying from the sky one after another.

There are six blue eagles of prey closely following the two of them in the sky, all of which are second-level flying monsters. Their cultivation bases are comparable to theirs. If the three of them join hands, the six How could the green eagle of prey be their opponents.

But this green eagle of prey has a companion sea beast, the purple-backed turtle.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu The purple-backed turtle behind them screamed a few times angrily when they saw the blue lions of prey above their heads, and the magic spells had no effect.

And after these angry screams, in the gray mist, he suddenly thought of the sound of thunder crackling again, and after feeling the movement behind, Miao Ren's face changed drastically, and he repeatedly urged the brown boat, and even breathed a sigh of relief. It surpassed the monk next to him, by a lot.

"Kuishui Shenlei, why is it so fast?" The monk couldn't believe it.These kinds of spells shouldn't condense so quickly. The only possibility is the spell of Kuishui Shenlei, which is the bloodline spell of this purple-backed turtle, natal supernatural powers and the like.

The purple-backed turtle behind him didn't care about his feelings, and was frantically urging the divine thunder, and suddenly there was a loud thunder.

Zhang Shiping put away the bronze lamp, and cast a spell to put away the array of banners he had laid down earlier.

Without the cover of the hidden magic circle, Zhang Shiping was revealed.He looked not far from the island, and saw a few small black spots flying towards the island on a mass of gray water mist more than a hundred feet wide, but they seemed to be chasing something.

With a thought in Zhang Shiping's mind, he immediately let go of his spiritual consciousness and explored the sea three or four miles away.

woo woo woo

The purple-backed turtle suddenly withdrew the sunflower thunder it was condensing, and after making another long cry, it sank into the sea like a piece of iron, while the blue lions of prey heard the whining sound , Immediately flapped his wings and left without delay.

"What's going on here, why don't these beasts catch up?"

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators who had just landed on the small island were originally on guard against the blue eagles of prey in the sky, but they were a little surprised to see these six monster birds leaving without looking back.

But the two of them immediately thought of something, looked at each other, their faces suddenly became a little strange, and the two of them quickly restrained their breath.Since there are existences on this island, and the purple-backed turtle, which is about to become a third-order sea beast, can leave so decisively, the cultivation base must be higher than them.

As for Zhang Shiping on the rocky beach, he was a little dumbfounded and a little pity.

When he swept over with his spiritual sense, he realized that it was a purple-backed turtle in the sea, and he was already a little bit regretful.

Among the South Seas, if one were to say which Tier [-] sea beast was the hardest to kill, the Purple Back Turtle would definitely be among them.The reason for this is its extremely keen sense.

None of Zhang Shiping's spiritual sense, the six blue shadow birds of prey flying in the sky, and the two people flying to the shore were even aware of it.But this purple-backed turtle is different. Although it is only a second-order sea beast, its spiritual perception far exceeds its own cultivation.Moreover, this monster is extremely bullying by nature, when it encounters a monk with a lower cultivation base than it, it will chase after it, and when it encounters a monk with a higher cultivation base than it, it will quickly dive into the deep sea.

So when it sensed Zhang Shiping's consciousness, it immediately let out a cry, sank into the sea, and fled from here.

Seeing that the purple-backed turtle had already dived into the sea, and even with his spiritual sense, he couldn't catch any traces, Zhang Shiping's body turned into a flash of startled rainbow in a flash of gray light, disappeared in place, and flew towards the distance.As for the two foundation-building monks on the island, they didn't offend him, nor violated his own taboos. Zhang Shiping just took a look at them and killed them without losing his face.

Zhang Shiping flew out of light and rushed all the way towards Binhai City.This time in the town of Fengman Ancient Land, they encountered that unknown monster, and they don't know if Qi Feng is okay.Zhang Shiping hoped that he could escape from the bottom of his heart, not because of the good relationship between the two of them, but because if he went back safely and Qi Feng died, it would be a lot of trouble

Chapter 353

More than ten days later, in the Green Bamboo Valley, a gray rainbow flew into the valley in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Shiping flew for a short distance, and stopped in front of a courtyard with more than a dozen bamboo houses in the valley. He opened the door and walked towards the house.

As soon as he walked to the door, Zhang Shiping saw several people sitting in the room, including his father, Hengyun, Xi'er, and several younger members of the Zhang family, who were in their fifties and completed their qi training period. .When Zhang Shiping came in, he had already noticed them.

The faces of these people were extremely ugly, but when they saw Zhang Shiping coming in, they were overjoyed.

Just a few days ago, Elder Qi of Xuanyuanzong personally came to ask if Zhang Shiping had come back. They inevitably made them think a little bit more. Most of the members of the Zhang family didn't know the whereabouts of Zhang Shiping, the ancestor of Jindan. , but these Zhang family members who knew about it were a little panicked when they knew that their ancestors did not come back with Elder Qi.

"Master, are you okay?" Lin Xi'er ran to Zhang Shiping when she saw Zhang Shiping, and asked with concern.

"It's okay to meet the ancestor." Zheng Hengyun and the members of the Zhang family stood up quickly and shouted loudly, looking a little excited.

The reason why the Zhang family was able to settle down in Binhai City so smoothly can be said to be entirely dependent on Zhang Shiping, a Jindan monk, otherwise it would be so easy for a new family to survive

Once something happens to Zhang Shiping, at least [-]% to [-]% of the business developed by the Zhang family in the past ten years will be divided up by other Jindan families, and the remaining [-]% ​​to [-]% still depends on whether Xuanyuanzong can show this. After all, Zhang Shiping is carrying out the mission sent by the sect this time.

Therefore, although Zhang Shiping usually doesn't care about the specific affairs of the family, everyone in the Zhang family knows that the real Dinghai Shenzhen of the Zhang family is the ancestor.

Zhang Tong'an came forward, he didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and patted Zhang Shiping's shoulder.

Zhang Shiping looked at his father's caring eyes, then looked at the other people, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you gathering here? If the family has nothing to do, then hurry up and practice. If you work hard, I can relax Some."

"Tong, Shi, Yuan, Heng, Tai" This is the current generation of the Zhang family. The former elder Zhang Qiyue passed away a long time ago, and the former patriarch Zhang Huaiyu also died more than [-] years ago. The patriarch Zhang Tong'an is the oldest in the family, and the clansmen of his generation either died in the struggle with the Chen family or died of old age.

In fact, there are only a few people left in Zhang Shiping's generation. These people are all uncles of the same generation in his clan. tribe.

Nowadays, most of these tribesmen who have completed Qi training are from the Heng generation, and one or two are from the Thai generation. Zhang Shiping is qualified to reprimand them a few words no matter in terms of cultivation base or family seniority.In fact, these few people have not made any mistakes, but when they should be knocked, they still need to knock a few times as a warning, so as to save them from slacking off in their practice.

"Father, wait for me." Zhang Shiping saw his father, Zhang Tongan, walking slowly towards the outside of the house, he called out softly, and followed quickly.

As for his apprentice Lin Xi'er, when he ran over and wanted to follow, he and Zhang Tong'an stared at him, then turned his head obediently, and ran towards a hut she built on the hillside in the valley.She tapped a few times on the bamboo body, leaped up the bamboo branches, and a pair of embroidered white shoes lightly stepped on the branches and leaves of the lush bamboo forest, like a dragon swimming, and disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest. , whirled and fell to the ground.

Zhang Tongan cherished this child as if he were his granddaughter. He used to persuade Zhang Shiping not to push her too hard because Lin Xier was young.But this little girl has also grown up, so naturally she can no longer be so spoiled.Moreover, she is only in her twenties, and she has already successfully established a foundation. For such a promising seedling, Zhang Tong'an is more concerned than Zhang Shiping.

Zhang Shiping was one step behind his father and followed closely, wanting to gently support him with his hand, but Zhang Tongan stretched out his hand and shook his head. He was not old enough to need someone to help him, so Zhang Shiping withdrew his hand and calmed down. followed.

Under the watchful eyes of several junior members of the Zhang family, the two gradually walked away until they were covered by the bamboo forest.

In the Green Bamboo Valley, surrounded by bamboos on all sides, it is lush and verdant, and it is like a golden bucket. According to the Fengshui pattern, it is a treasured place to gather wealth and luck.In a way, it is true that this is a place of wealth.

Most of the emerald green bamboos growing in the valley are only first-order spiritual plants, but a small part survived the calamity of blooming and bearing fruit, and the dead trees bloomed in spring, and became second-level spiritual plants as if they were reborn. Hundreds of years of spiritual energy and the essence of the sun and the moon, the third-order emerald bamboo has just grown.

Lingzhi is different from the two races of human monsters. If they have not developed their intelligence and transformed into spirit monsters, even if they become fourth-order, they will not incur thunder disasters.

"I saw Elder Qi had a bad face when he came. Is the situation very dangerous this time?" Zhang Tongan stopped, turned to look at Zhang Shiping and said.

Zhang Shiping stretched out his fingers, picked up a falling bamboo leaf, and shook his head lightly, "It's okay, it's safe, nothing happened."

Some things don't need to be said too clearly, after all, it's not a good thing to celebrate, and it's just to make father worry more.

"That's good, but you should be more careful when you go out in the future." Zhang Tong'an didn't know what Zhang Shiping had experienced this time, and he also understood his son's thoughts. Since he didn't want to speak out, he couldn't push him too hard.As long as people can come back safely, this is more important than anything else.

"Understood, don't worry." Zhang Shiping didn't want to say more about this matter, but replied vaguely.

The father and son talked again, and Zhang Shiping sent Zhang Tongan off and left the Green Bamboo Valley.

Zhang Shiping watched Tong'an fly towards the Chongling Mountain Range. After he pondered for a moment, the gray aura wrapped himself around him and flew towards the Green Fire Valley.

Just half an hour later, Zhang Shiping walked into the Green Fire Valley amidst Qi Feng's loud voice.The flames of Tan Shengteng in the valley, even at the top of the mountain, are still as hot as ever.

"Zhang Daoyou, Lao Qi, I thought you wouldn't come back." Qi Feng welcomed Zhang Shiping into the valley, and said with a loud laugh.

Zhang Shiping looked at Qi Feng, saw that he was in high spirits, and he didn't look like he was chased by the Nascent Soul Monster Lord at all. Escaped from the hands of a Nascent Soul Demon Monarch

Chapter 354 Cultivating Illusory Ghost Locusts

"It's okay, it's okay, my journey was safe and sound, but Fellow Daoist Qi has great powers, and he got rid of that demon king, which really makes Zhang admire. By the way, the other fellow Taoists should have returned. " Zhang Shiping complimented him, but he saw that demon king was chasing Qi Feng closely, and he was able to escape, which was beyond his expectation.As for Qi Feng killing the Nascent Soul Demon Monarch, it was almost impossible for Zhang Shiping to even think about it.

"Haha, Zhang Daoyou can be regarded as the last one, but Zhang Daoyou, in the future, you have to be careful about Cangwu Daoist, this person is interesting." Qi Feng said with a gloating tone.

Zhang Shiping listened to Qi Feng's words, "Qi Daoyou, don't hide it, but what happened, let's be honest, be more straightforward, it's not Qi Daoyou's temperament to whet your appetite."

"A few days ago, before fellow daoist came back, there was an auction, did you know that fellow daoist Cangwu appeared with two magic weapons, cloud brocade silk and horizontal flow sword, and sold them on the spot. Report this old saying. Oh, the hidden secrets, Zhang Daoyou may not know, I will not say more, Daoists only need to know that Jiang Cang, Liu Yu and Yinxuan were enemies decades ago, but Today, the grievances between the three of them are settled."

Zhang Shiping chatted with Qi Feng for a while, and he only found out the identity of the monster, named Cangming.But that's all. As for why he was able to escape from the Cangming monster, whether it was because of his supernatural powers, or because the monster suddenly developed a compassionate heart, Zhang Shiping didn't know.

However, Qi Feng's tone is really tight. When chatting with Zhang Shiping, he seemed to talk about everything, but he had his own bottom line in his heart. He knew what to say and what not to say. Zhang Shiping had no way to pry his mouth open, so naturally he could only change the subject.

The two talked for a while, and Zhang Shiping returned to the Green Bamboo Valley.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Regarding Jiang Cang's vengeance, among the Jindan monks in Binhai City, they have gradually calmed down. Except for the ancestor of the Huanyin Sect, who was furious, he came secretly Nan Hai, but Jiang Cang also knew his situation, he had disappeared long ago.This ancestor of the Huanyin Sect could not find the Jiang family, so he was out of luck. Except for a few people who escaped by chance, the remaining thousands of members of the Jiang family became the ghosts of the ancestor of the Huanyin Sect. .

Life and death, endless grievances.

In the quiet room, Zhang Shiping sacrificed and practiced the talisman for a few days, and then took out the scriptures that the Yuanying Zhenjun who chased the green lion gave him in return.

Zhang Shiping looked at these scriptures in a daze at first, but after he read them again, he suddenly understood something.

Zhang Shiping held the jade slips that recorded the original volume of Wucai Liuli Gong, as well as its annotations, which corresponded one-to-one with his own experience recorded from practicing this method for many years.

But this time, he used this scripture to explain the five-color glazed art, and only then did he discover that there were indeed some problems with the exercises he practiced before, but the problems were not serious.

It's just that he has been practicing this technique for too long, and he can't reverse it all at once. He estimates that it will take about four or five years to adjust slowly so that it will be more stable.

Zhang Shiping put down the jade slips, recalling all the scenes in Cong Yingzhao's phantom sound that day.

He also knows that his spiritual consciousness is much stronger than other Golden Core monks, and it is not much worse than other Golden Core mid-stage real people.Otherwise, he would have been like that gray-skinned monk An Youdao and Liu Yu from the Xuanyin Sect, who were bewildered by Yingzhao's phantom sounds, and fell into the illusion.

Zhang Shiping thought in his heart that maybe it was Jiang Cang who saw Liu Yu's coma at such a good opportunity to kill the two Jindan monks to avenge his great revenge, but why did he want to have fun for a while and personally auction Liu Yu Yinxuan? The two people's talisman, do you know if this will kill your whole family?

But this matter, Zhang Shiping just listened to it, everyone cleaned up the snow in front of the door, and didn't care about the frost on the roof of others.If you have this kind of skill, why not just sit down cross-legged like he is now, sacrifice more to the Yanyun Myriad Spirit Pagoda in his dantian, and think more about your own practice.

Zhang Shiping knew that his Flame Fallen Myriad Spirits Pagoda had more than enough defense, but not enough offense. He had already imagined that if he had more money in the future, he would definitely refine another attacking magic weapon to make up for his own insufficiency.

In fact, after returning from the Green Fire Valley, Zhang Shiping has been reflecting on himself. With his current cultivation base at the early stage of Golden Core, whether it is physical body or magic power, it is similar to other monks at the early stage of Golden Core.The only thing that stands out about him is his soul.

Otherwise, he has been practicing Yuan Chang since the Qi training period, and he has suffered so much, and it will be in vain.

Yuanchangjutsu, which is a simple way to improve spiritual consciousness, is not like some other strange spiritual consciousness techniques. Although the growth rate is far inferior to this Yuanchangjutsu, once you succeed in cultivation, you will have all kinds of abilities. Supernatural powers, or some secret techniques, make people hard to guard against.

He was envious, but he also understood that the spirit of a monk was extremely difficult to exercise. Among the other exercises he knew, there was no way to achieve the level of Changing Elements.

"Alas" promotion does not happen overnight after all.

Zhang Shiping stood up, walked out of the quiet room that he hadn't been out of for three months, and rested for a whole day to let himself relax and not be too tense.

After resting, Zhang Shiping walked towards the worm room again. Over the years, he has been cultivating those phantom locusts that have successfully advanced to the second level. It has no other effect.

He doesn't have so many resources, and he can cultivate thousands of Zerg swarms.As long as one's own spiritual thoughts are together, thousands of locusts will cross the border, and no grass will grow wherever they go.

To achieve this level, he not only needs to cast down how many spirit stones and spirit objects.

But now there is a phantom locust that has successfully advanced, which he has never seen in ancient books.Perhaps it was due to the variation of the Phantom Locust itself.

After entering the worm room, Zhang Shiping saw more than a dozen red phantom locusts the size of his head, all covered in scales, glowing with aura, and looked fierce.

These dozens of phantom locusts were holding bones in their ferocious mouthparts. Seeing that there were not many spiritual bones in the insect room, Zhang Shiping wiped them on the storage bag and poured out hundreds of spiritual bones Bone goes in.

Chapter 355

Hundreds of spiritual bones glowing with a faint luster, once poured into it, the spiritual bones collided with each other and scattered all over the place.The dozens of second-order phantom locusts inside were first startled by the noisy sound, fluttered their wings, flew up, and turned around. Eight dark red insect feet with sharp barbs were barbed in the beams of the wooden house. With a flicker of spiritual light, Zhang Shiping blocked the dozen or so phantom locusts according to the insect-repelling magic circle set up by the insect scriptures.

After Zhang Shiping joined Xuanyuanzong, he went to Xuanyuanzong's scripture storage hall to exchange for the insect scriptures. He didn't spend many spirit stones. Part of it was because he was an elder of the outer sect of the sect, and part of it was of course Because there are very few insect repairs nowadays.
