longevity road trip

In the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall.

In the bronze censer in the courtyard stood three sticks of incense as thick as an arm, and the smoke curled up and went straight to the blue sky.Qin Feng walked slowly, stepped over the threshold, and walked into the room. He looked up at the plaques of gods step by step in front of him.

At the beginning, the names at the front seemed a little strange to Qin Feng, and he didn't care which generation of descendants he was.He looked up, and when he saw the landscape painting hanging on the top, there was a smile on his face.

Qin Feng stretched out his hand to grab it, and the scroll flew up in the air, flying towards him unsteadily.

It's just that when it was about ten feet away, the scroll suddenly stopped, stopped in mid-air and made a loud noise, followed by a bright white light, like a scorching sun.

The mountain ink painting was more like coming to life. The figure who was originally sitting cross-legged on the top of the White Ape Mountain also stood up. He stretched his body, then nodded towards Qin Feng, stepped forward, and turned into a Liu Guang submerged into Qin Feng's body.

The light and shadow overlapped, and there was an indistinct scent of incense lingering around him. Qin Feng, who had his eyes closed, seemed to be enlightened.

It's just that with the passage of time, thin cracks appeared on his face, and then there were dense crackling sounds.For a while, Qin Feng was like a clay sculpture, with countless net patterns on his body, as if it would break if he touched it, and not only his external body appearance, but even his mana and spirit seemed to be All of a sudden, after thousands of years of wind and frost, it seems to be dead and silent at any time.

After more than ten breaths, the white light gradually dissipated.

But at this moment, Qin Feng was acting as if nothing had happened, not the same as before.

A little disappointed in his eyes, he flicked his hand casually, and the scroll flew back and hung on the top of the ancestral hall again.

Qin Feng didn't turn around and leave. His eyes fell on the few spiritual cards that he was very familiar with, and he looked at them quietly for a long time, and finally closed his eyes.

The few on the spirit card, Qin Feng watched them croak to the ground, grow up slowly from a babbling child, slowly age, and then die.After all, their talents are too bad, and they will be nothing but Foundation Establishment monks until they die.Now hundreds of years have passed, even their bones have been rotten, but he is still there, and his life energy is still abundant.

The setting sun is red and the sky is full of red clouds, and the shadows of trees in the mountains are dim.

The lanterns hanging high in the ancestral hall are shaking in the wind, and the pair of white candles are still burning fiercely, and the lights are flickering.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated quietly, without speaking for a long time.

In a blink of an eye, the dawn is approaching.

'Tatatatat...' A person walked in from outside the door.

"The taste of soul transformation is not good, it's just a dead person, why is it so?" Qin Feng said quietly.

"I told you you wouldn't understand." Zhang Shiping said with a pale face.The aura on his body fluctuated a little, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, and his soul seemed to have been severely injured.

"You're still too young. Once a monk embarks on this journey of longevity, I have to learn to give up constantly. Only by letting go can I go further!" At this moment, Qin Feng is not as eccentric as he was in the morning, but rather like an old man. It's the same as persuading younger generations.

Zhang Shiping noticed that Qin Feng's aura seemed strange at the moment. He scanned the ancestral hall, and soon his eyes fell on the ink painting of the mountain. There was only White Ape Mountain in it, but there was one person missing on the mountain.

"You seem to be a different person now. It seems that it's all because of the painting you left behind?" Zhang Shiping walked slowly to Qin Feng's side and said with half-closed eyes.

"Hehe, since I'm back, it's easy. Everything in the world is like this. If you want to put it down, you must first pick it up. The ink shadow I left behind when I left is the Zhang family's 600-year history. Prosperity and decline are all in your eyes. You are indeed the most outstanding person in the Zhang family for hundreds of years, but you are still a little bit decisive. Thinking about the things of you little fellows, it is not interesting. It's just After all, these are foreign objects, and what I see on the sidelines is not enough to touch my heart, let me go one step further on the road of enlightening emptiness and transforming gods. The human world is a feast of joy and departure, and you will understand in the future. This time Nanfa Temple, you are so lucky Make some preparations and set off in eight months to get the old man the Bone Grass that grows in the depths of the Skeleton Ridge, otherwise the old man will have to refine all of you bloodline monks." Qin Feng smiled, but not a smile, Said in the tone of a person who came here.

The centuries-old scent of incense in landscape paintings has finally affected him. Otherwise, with his temperament, how could he talk so much to Zhang Shiping?

Chapter 580

"If you can't snatch the Bone Origin Grass by your means, how can a mere Golden Core cultivator like me have a chance?" Zhang Shiping said with a calm face.

He began to think in his mind how to arrange the retreat for himself and other clansmen, especially Zhang Tianya and Zhang Tianwu, the two clansmen in the later stage of foundation establishment.

But the most troublesome thing is that although the person in front of him is surnamed Qin, he is the ancestor of the Zhang family after all. He only needs to use his own blood as a guide to search for many members of the Zhang family including himself.

As for the members of the Zhang family in the secular world, Zhang Shiping is not worried.More than 200 years ago, the Zhang family was distributed in more than a hundred cities in secular countries. There were more than a hundred branches, and there were more than 200 registered clan members.Now that [-] years have passed, the Zhang family now has nearly [-] million secular clan members registered.

And the children born to those Zhang family daughters who were married, although they also have some Zhang family blood, but these people are not considered Zhang family.In fact, Zhang Tianwu, the elder of the Zhang Family Establishment Foundation, is in this situation.

He originally belonged to an extremely remote branch of the Zhang family, but the Zhang family of this branch is not a broken family in the local area, but a modest squire.

Among the storytellers, when it comes to the country gentry and aristocrats, the division is extremely large. The good ones are repairing bridges and repairing roads every year, cherishing loneliness every day, and the bad ones are bullying the village, rampant and domineering, like a local emperor .

The line that Zhang Tianwu came from has not created much foundation over the years, but it has its own way of doing things, and it will neither prosper nor decline.

This branch does things that bully the village and run rampant. After all, rabbits don’t eat grass beside their nests, but they only do it once or twice over the years to repair bridges and roads, and more often they do it occasionally every year. One or two young and handsome students, this kind of good deed is not costly, so the family's reputation has always been neither good nor bad.

People in the world are like this. Some people have been doing their best to help others, but they don’t know the person being helped. Sometimes they wish that the person who helped him would die early, and the people who are on the sidelines, once they see That person didn't do any good deeds anymore, he just beat drums and gongs and yelled, as if this person had done some heinous thing, and he felt that he had done some great good deed.

But when these people met an evil person who murdered a lot of people, they put down their butcher knives out of pity, and they were able to spit on their own, talking about it like crazy, as if this evil person was the Buddha of the ten thousand families.

Things in the world are so ridiculous, the opposite of black is not white, and the opposite of white is not black, it may be gray, or any color that people want.

It was as if in the years of drought and floods, even though the grain in Zhang's granary was piled up, the people outside were so hungry that they sold their sons and daughters, they didn't show kindness to give porridge to relieve the disaster. Instead, he kept his eyes cold and waited for the government to come to him without any haste.

At first they declined a few times with embarrassment on their faces, until they saw the angry face of the parent officer, and then the Zhang family agreed with embarrassment on their faces.

Then, in this famine year, while selling grain at a price slightly lower than the market price, they used miscellaneous grains to cook porridge for disaster relief.Naturally, this kind of behavior won't give you a good reputation, but it doesn't have that kind of notorious reputation, because in everyone's impression, a country gentleman should be like this.

After the famine, storytellers began to tell how parents and officials outwitted the country gentry and worked for the welfare of the people, and the so-called good things began to be passed on by word of mouth.

In this matter, not many people starved to death, the country gentry got benefits, and the parents and officials won a good reputation, all parties were satisfied, and everyone was happy!As for those who unfortunately starved to death, it can only be said that they are unfortunate, and the sacrifices caused by the lagging of the rules are nothing more than that.

Because everything in this world has its own bottom line and rules, such as name and utensils, belonging and court, a family without that kind of thinking cannot be contaminated no matter what.If the squires donated porridge to help the disaster without the presence of the imperial court, it might not be a compliment after the fact. After all, such unfounded rhetoric as "inviting to buy people's hearts, what do you want to do" can make a family suffer a catastrophe!

Good deeds do not necessarily have good rewards, as long as you protect yourself, it is not easy to do evil deeds.

The Zhang family relied on this way of handling things and continued from generation to generation.

However, or because of this, they behave too mediocrely, and the descendants gradually become mediocre. They haven't detected their spiritual roots for several generations. Seeing their own families in the county, they don't like to see them.

But at this time, a daughter of the Zhang family married out. Her husband passed the exam. In order to marry a high-ranking official woman who favored him, this person divorced her because she was "disobedient to her parents".

At that time, Zhang Tianwu did not come back with him, but he also understood some things when he was in his teens, so he sneaked back to see his mother while his grandparents were not paying attention, so he was lucky enough to go to the county town to participate in the Zhang family's spirit test ceremony .When his spiritual root was detected, the Zhang family took him back to the family without hesitation, restored him to the surname Zhang, and recorded it in the genealogy.As for the man's family who came to make trouble and wanted to get Zhang Tianwu back, they were directly beaten out by the Zhang family.

This kind of scholar, who was lucky enough to win, naively thought that he could shake the deep-rooted aristocratic family?Originally, the Zhang family in the county city wanted to make a move, causing the heartless man to lose his official position and change his name, so as to calm down the resentment in Zhang Tianwu's mother and son.But in the end, Zhang Tianwu's mother was sympathetic, and considering the relationship between the two of them for more than ten years, she said "the two don't owe each other", and followed her son to Chongling Mountain to end their relationship.

After Zhang Shiping finished speaking, Qin Feng looked at Zhang Shiping coldly, and said indifferently:

"If you can get the best, it doesn't matter if you don't get it. You can figure it out. And put away all your little thoughts. If I use the bloodline source method with all my strength, the two thousand or so cultivation bases of you You will never be able to escape. Maybe you can escape to the West Desert and go to the White Horse Temple to be a Jialan protector. There are not many places in the world that I dare not go, and that is one of them."

"The law of the bereaved is to refine the soul." Zhang Shiping was silent for a while before he asked through his teeth.

Qin Feng looked at Zhang Shiping in surprise, and then laughed.

"madman!"

……

……

After a while, the rising sun between heaven and earth jumped out of the sea, shining red on the stratus clouds.The lingering scent of incense on Qin Feng's body finally disappeared completely.

Chapter 581

"It was the best chance to kill me just now, you missed it." Qin Feng said softly, but instead of looking at Zhang Shiping, he turned around and said, looking at the empty place behind them.

As far as he could see, in the thin morning light, a blood shadow circled down from midair and landed in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, only a few feet away from Qin Feng and Zhang Shiping.

The blood faded away, revealing an old man in gray clothes with a tall nose and thin eyes, and a sinister expression. He stood still, but just took out a painting with his hand, holding the scroll in his hand, and did not unfold it. Already gloomy, it seems that there are countless blood shadows constantly passing through and appearing, and the surroundings are rustling.

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Qin and Elder Zhang of this sect have such a relationship, it's really unexpected!" Ji Feng said gloomyly.

"Jifeng, don't pretend to be confused. Don't you know my relationship with the Zhang family? You beat me that day and beat me so badly that I was bleeding. I don't believe you didn't use the blood secret method? But then you also rely on The Mingyu Xuanguang Mirror is nothing more than the power of the spirit treasure, otherwise you and I would be in the same boat. Also, do you think that if the old man didn’t show his traces with his laughter on purpose, he would be able to find me with the magic circle spread in this coastal city? I called you here to ask you, what is going on in Nanfa Temple, is it something you five sects did behind the scenes?" Qin Feng said impatiently.

"Nan Fa Temple used to be a realm, the Mahayana Buddha dojo, we don't have the ability to open it in advance. But I seem to have heard that Taoist friends want to follow the old story of the survivors. Aren't you afraid of Venerable Red Moon's wrath? At that time, fellow Taoists, don’t think that Venerable Hongyue will let you go mercifully. Although there are only a few monks in the late Nascent Soul stage who are expected to transform into gods in Nanzhou, there is no more than one of you, and one less of you Not a lot." Ji Feng nodded and said.

"The Red Moon Venerable was called the Blood Moon Venerable in the past, so he naturally wouldn't be merciful. But now that his lifespan is approaching, and he has nowhere to go, what I want to do, I just have to wait another two or three hundred years. Just boil him to death, I can afford to wait! Besides, aren’t you Xuanyuanzong, Bixiao Palace, Shuiyueyuan, Xuanming Palace, and the Misty Valley Five Schools also waiting for this? It’s not comfortable to have the Moon Tower on your head. Besides, Misty Valley has been closed because of the incident 300 years ago, and the four sects of you are also worried about what will happen to you?” Qin Feng said indifferently.

"Fellow Daoists in Misty Valley deserve their crimes. Closing the mountain and closing the door is already merciful, but the principal culprit has died, and the rest of the fellow Daoists have guarded the frontier of the Barbarian Region for 2000 years, replacing two generations. It should be redeemed, so don't mention it again. You deliberately lured me here, shouldn't you want to tell me these old things?" Ji Feng snorted coldly.

"A single old story has taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of foundation-building monks, and I don't know if their skeletons and souls are still mourning in the misty spirit realm. I can only say that they are worthy of a decent family! Venerable Red Moon is still too old. You are so kind! You probably don’t know about this. Those old fellows in Misty Valley 2000 years ago had their lifespan exhausted. ..." Qin Feng revealed a mocking look, he turned his head to look at Zhang Shiping, and grinned his white teeth.

"That's enough, fellow Taoists in Misty Valley have already paid their due price for this matter, and even His Holiness has come to a conclusion, why bother to bring up the old matter again, besides, you didn't experience this matter personally, it was just hearsay, the whole story You don't know either." Ji Feng shouted sharply with no expression on his face.

"Oh, you heard it, this is the five sects with the same spirit, this is everyone's demeanor. You have to learn this skill carefully. This is not the only difference between the family and the sect. The five sects can always It has been passed down for more than [-] years, which is not ordinary, and some of them are of great wisdom!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

At that time, if it weren't for the four sects of Xuanyuanzong, Bixiao Palace, Shuiyueyuan, and Xuanming Palace, they had invited out the inheritance spirit treasures to help Misty Valley with all their strength.Nanzhou has experienced the scourge of the bereaved family, and it has only been a few hundred years since it came back to life. Seeing that the great war has a tendency to resume, in the end, Venerable Hongyue only killed the chief villain, and exiled most of the Nascent Soul and Golden Soul in Misty Valley. Dan went to guard the frontier of the barbarian domain, and he could not take half a step back without a call.

As for why Venerable Hongyue backed down, it was rumored that Xifeng Gangcheng, who was born in Bixiao Palace at that time, was related to Venerable Xifeng. Although she did not stand up for the four factions, she did not stand on Hongyue's side like Xuanshan.Venerable Hongyue had no choice but to punish Misty Valley heavily for Xifeng's sake.

It's just that after 2000 years, most of the monks don't know about these things, except for some families that have been passed down.

"There are quite a few monks who have died at your hands in recent years. Let's go, this is not a place to talk. Shiping, don't spread the matter of the Misty Valley. Our Xuanyuan Sect and the other four sects have already established a relationship in ancient times. Once you have made the oath, you can support each other all the way so far, and have survived the disaster of destroying the family several times. Now you are also in the late stage of Jindan, and if you become a Nascent Soul one day, you will naturally know a lot of secrets!" Ji Feng looked at Qin Feng, and then After reminding Zhang Shiping, he said slowly.

"Don't talk about these empty words. I think Du Yu and Tianfeng are the people you will choose to take charge of the Xuanyuan Sect in the future. How can you sincerely accept outsiders who joined halfway? Let's go, since the Nanfa Temple has been opened, then I'll introduce you to a few old friends, so that we can advance and retreat together, so as not to encounter disaster!" Qin Feng took a few steps forward, and then the blue light rolled away, leaving only a lingering sound.

Ji Feng flipped his hands to take back the blood soul map of his natal magic weapon, turned into a blood shadow and followed Qin Feng.

Zhang Shiping stood there for a long time, then turned around, and saw on the altar in the ancestral hall, there was a sapphire ring with cloud pattern, the ring was stained with ancient stains, and some mysterious talisman silver patterns were carved on it, faintly exuding a faint light .

He held it in his hand, and his spiritual sense penetrated into it. After a few breaths, he sighed and put the ring on his hand.

In the thin sky, two streaks of light, one blue and one red, flew back and forth.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, the old man sees that you came to my Binhai City this time, and it seems that you just came to find the old man by the way." Ji Feng said through voice transmission.

"The once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity is just around the corner. I'm not sure I'll make it to the next time. Of course, I have to prepare properly." Qin Feng said in a voice transmission. He is almost 3000 years old now. I don't know if I can survive another millennium.The lifespan of Yuanying monks is about [-] years, and it is very normal to die at [-] years old.

……

……

Seven months later, monks set off from Nanming Island every now and then, and flew towards Cangguyang at high speed. Looking at the speed of everyone's light escape and the faint spiritual fluctuations emanating from them, none of them were monks below the golden core stage. .

Chapter 582

In a sea area that is only more than three thousand miles away from Nanming City, for more than half a year, there have been various lights flying over from time to time, or black clouds rolling in, and monster mist coming.

The spiritual energy swirled in all directions, and lasted for several months, and finally condensed into a stone step nearly a hundred feet wide, shaped like an arc, like a broken bridge.

But even though it is like a broken bridge, it plunges into the deep sea at one end, and stretches straight into the sky at the other end.

And in the phantom light, mountains and rivers are flashing in the reflections, there are beautiful flowers, Yaocao, ancient cypresses, pines, blue lions roaring with their heads raised, white elephants with long trunks curled up, and Danfeng Yixiang is full of inspiration. Linggong Baoque, Linguan Pearl Court is one after another, there are golden light gods and men walking here, and the grand scene of the fairyland is nothing more than this.

Since the appearance of the Nanfa Hall, there have been monks flying here from time to time. These monks are not only from the human race, but there are also many monks from the monster race and sea race.Some of them flew along the stone bridge, and then plunged into the phantom light without hesitation, while some jumped more than a hundred feet along the stone bridge, and quickly disappeared.

One day, a blue rainbow galloped from the direction of Nanming City, and stopped at a place more than a hundred miles away from the stone bridge.In the twilight, Zhang Shiping stared forward, with a sense of amazement in his eyes.

He didn't go in rashly, but turned into Luo Yan and hid in the clouds and mist. He saw several human golden core monks and several big monsters walking along the stone bridge and entering the phantom light one after another. .

All of a sudden, Zhang Shiping turned his head abruptly, and saw a group of red clouds rolled over from a place a hundred miles away from his side at some point.

This group of scarlet clouds unscrupulously exudes a billowing evil spirit, and it leaps more than a hundred feet between breaths, almost a mile away.

Zhang Shiping showed surprise, he didn't dare to move, and tried his best to hide his aura.Such a fast speed of escaping light has far surpassed the ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarch.

But after a while, it had already arrived at the edge of the stone bridge, and the red clouds dispersed, and a red-haired young man wearing golden red scale armor, a red jade crown on his head, and wings growing from his ribs was riding a tall four-faced figure.This person has star-eyed sword-brows and a dignified appearance. Holding the rein in one hand, he just wanted to fly towards the phantom light in mid-air, but he suddenly turned his head to look. Because a stream of light soared up the stone bridge, it disappeared soon.

Zhang Shiping, who was hiding in the cloud and mist, completely restrained his breath and didn't dare to move a little bit. He saw the red cloud from a distance turn into a streamer and entered the portal of phantom light, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.The two sides were more than a hundred miles away, Zhang Shiping naturally couldn't see the figure and face of this monster, he could only perceive the general cultivation level of this monster from the aura emanating from him, and at the same time muttered in his heart, Seven months ago, the gate of the Nanfa Palace was opened, and it has been so long, so those Nascent Soul monks who wanted to go in to find opportunities should have already gone in.Could it be that this person made up his mind after much deliberation and hesitation?

"Xuanyuanzong boy, if I remember correctly, your name is Zhang Shiping. I said, are you waiting for someone, or watching something?" Suddenly, a voice rang in Zhang Shiping's ear.

He turned around suddenly, just in time to see a pair of bull's eyes the size of copper bells, looking at him with a little playfulness, and on the back of this yellow-haired strange beast, a young man with red hair was sitting astride.

Zhang Shiping quickly emerged from the clouds and mist. He felt a heavy pressure like an abyss from the red-haired young man, and his eyelids twitched unconsciously.But for some reason, the face of this red-haired young man was faintly familiar to him, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Meet you again, you coward!" The beast that looked like a bull demon said mockingly.

"It's you! Then are you the senior from Chisha Island?" Zhang Shiping looked at it in surprise after hearing this, and then suddenly thought of it, and asked this red-haired youth.

"It's the old man." The red-haired young man laughed loudly. At this moment, he didn't have the old look in the ancient Xiudong mansion on Chisha Island, but was full of vitality.

"Congratulations to Zhenjun, you will live forever and never grow old!" Zhang Shiping said with a look of surprise.When he left, he also knew that the old fire crow wanted to refine some kind of life-extending thing from Jiang Ru's four-in-one body.

Zhang Shiping originally thought that this was just the lingering last days of this old fire crow, and that Jiang Ruan, a family of four relatives, must have died without a life, but what he saw recently was completely beyond his expectation.

This old fire crow is not the slightest bit old now, if someone says it can live for hundreds or thousands of years, then Zhang Shiping will not have the slightest doubt.

Hearing Zhang Shiping's compliments and birthday wishes, the red-haired young man was obviously in a better mood. He laughed a few times, and then asked: "Seeing you like this, do you want to go in too?"

Zhang Shiping nodded, there is nothing to hide!

"Then be careful. Don't force your way into those places filled with black mist. Once it is contaminated, it will be troublesome. Jiang Si, the old man promised to go there, you will refine the blood beads you swallowed, and then let you die .Today, the Nanfa Palace has been opened, and the old man will not renege on his promise and become fat, so I will let you be free!" Bi Yu seemed in a very good mood, and said unexpectedly.

He turned over, spread his wings, and the wind and fire mingled all over his body, and disappeared in the same place in an instant.It's just that when he left, he glanced at the sapphire cloud pattern ring on Zhang Shiping's finger, showed a faint smile, and said to himself: "This guy is here too, this old score should be settled." Calculate!"

……

……

After Bi Yu left, Zhang Shiping and Jiang Si were left alone, alone and speechless.It's just that Zhang Shiping has locked on Jiang Si vaguely with his spiritual consciousness, and if there is any change in it, he will feel like making a big move.

After a while, Zhang Shiping confirmed that Bi Yu should have gone in, and then he looked at Jiang Bi up and down, as if he was looking at a treasure, staring at it, his scalp became numb, and his yellow hair exploded.

"I said, what do you want to do, kid? Master has an owner's mount, and you have to look at the owner to beat a dog. Don't get dizzy, or when the master comes back, you won't be able to eat and walk around!" Jiang Ru shamelessly shook Holding the bridle, the finger-thin rein was swinging back and forth in front of Zhang Shiping.

"Senior just said to let you go free." Zhang Shiping looked at it quietly and said, it seemed that even every piece of meat and every bone had already thought about their respective uses.

Jiang Ru swallowed, and a flattering smile appeared on the long horse's face, and it reluctantly said: "Four inconsistencies are useless, if Brother Zhang gives Xiao Ke some time, I'll go and beat some other horses." How about a monster like a ransom? Xiao Ke can swear that he will do it!"
