longevity road trip

……

At the vernal equinox, the four suns are gradually flourishing, and swallows fly south and return, carrying mud to build their nests, a scene of spring.

On Chenopodium Island where Canggu Yangyan's family is located, in a cloud-shrouded mountain peak, a few people can be vaguely seen sitting in a small pavilion in the forest.

Looking closer, it was the two Nascent Souls of the Yan family and Zhang Shiping.

He came at the invitation of the Yan family!

The three of them brewed new tea around the red stove, talking and laughing.

……

……

Chapter 732 Chess Pieces

Suhui shines through the trees, and the light and shadow flicker.

There was also a dignified and handsome Rushang woman in the pavilion, who poured tea for the three of them with a smile.

This woman is twenty-eight years old, and she is already at the late stage of Qi refining, and there are few young people in the Zhang family who can match her.

"Senior, please drink tea." Yan Yunxian said crisply.

"Okay, Senior Yulou, brother Yan, you are really lucky. You don't have to worry about Yunxian's talent and beauty in the future." Zhang Shiping said with a smile.

"Brother Zhang is joking, this kid is still far behind, but he has just embarked on the road of cultivation, and it is not yet known whether he will achieve anything?" Yan Li couldn't help but smile a little more, apparently The girl was very satisfied.

"It's a pity, if it wasn't for the fact that Bi Xing was older, and none of the juniors in my clan stood out, otherwise I would have become a matchmaker." Zhang Shiping said.

"Who said there is no such thing as Shiping? May I ask if there is any cultivator in Nanzhou who can compare with you. A three-hundred-year-old true king is rare. Shiping is not yet married, and the child Yunxian is still young." Unmarried, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing for you and my family to marry Qin and Jin?" Yan Yulou said aloud.

Hearing what his ancestor said, Yan Yunxian lowered his head slightly, and Xia's face turned red.

"Fellow Daoist Yulou is just joking. I'm an old fellow who is hundreds of years old. If I marry someone in his teens, I might point out those fellow daoists. How can I laugh at me!" Zhang Shiping said, shaking his head.

"This World Ping doesn't know anything! Look at this old guy Qingyu, his neck is almost buried in the soil. Didn't he take in three beautiful concubines a few years ago, and they were all said to be a romantic scholar. How can he be called a romantic scholar if he is not romantic?" You must be an elegant scholar!" Yan Yulou said.

"Forget it, I won't delay others." Zhang Shiping declined.

"It seems that this child has no such blessing. Yunxian, you go down first." Yan Yulou said with some regret.

"Yes, Patriarch, Zhang Zhenjun, then Yunxian will retire first." Yan Yunxian seemed to be relieved, she got up and said goodbye, and walked away gracefully.

"Hey! This child seems to have a crush, which made Shiping laugh." Yan Yulou sighed.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, young and young, love and love, this is a beautiful thing in the world!" Zhang Shiping laughed.

But he didn't say anything more about the child. A sixteen-year-old girl whose cultivation base is already in the late stage of Qi refining, in a family like the Yan family that has been passed down for more than ten thousand years, it is absolutely impossible to marry her to an ordinary girl. Other people's marriages are either married to high-ranking monks or recruited into the family. Therefore, this important marriage is not what she wants, and she can get it.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shiping stood up and saw a beautiful figure walking down the winding stone steps like a bird, jumping down the mountain, and then he looked around. The wilderness is lush, a scene of a paradise.

"I have heard that the scenery of Quinoa Island is beautiful. It is not as expected when I saw it today. It is not like my Green Fire Valley. Hundreds of years have passed, and the scenery is still exactly the same. If I didn't see the trees in the mountain grow bigger, I thought it was still in the past. .” Zhang Shiping said with his hands behind his back, applauding.

"Chuan Xiaoshan is an ordinary thing, Shiping don't look at this place, but if you look at this place for 2000 years, you will feel bored." Yan Yulou said.

"That's true, but if you feel bored, then look at another place. Ordinary people can only travel a hundred miles in a hundred years. When I travel across the ancient oceans, I will travel to the top of Panchong Mountain in the extreme north of Nanzhou at night. Much happier. I just don’t know if the two of you just invited me to taste this new Yunfeng tea today!” Zhang Shiping turned around and said.

"Of course not. I wonder how much Shiping knows about Qin Feng?" After Yan Yulou finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.

"What do you want to say, Fellow Daoist Yulou?" Zhang Shiping sat down again.

"I want to say how much Shiping knows about clan affairs?" Yan Yulou said with an unchanged expression.

"Not much." Zhang Shiping replied.

"Really? It seems that Fellow Daoist Qin didn't tell you everything, so do you want to know some old things?" Yan Yulou said slowly.

"I don't want to! Since it's an old thing, so what if you know it, so what if you don't know it, it's already in the past, isn't it?" Zhang Shiping said very bluntly.

"That's right, then let it pass. Inviting you here today, besides the old thing, there is another thing. A hundred years ago when Yuji Nanzhou, I, Qingyu, and Qiu Cong were invited to a wild sea in Cangguyang The ancient formation has been explored, and the ancient formation is very special, and it takes five Nascent Soul monks to act together to temporarily open an entrance. We only searched around the periphery, but did not go deep into it. Now Yuji and Hai Dafu are two The fellow daoist is gone, I don't know if Shiping is willing to wait with me, and we should be able to gain something!" Yan Yulou said.

"Forget it, I haven't had a baby yet, and it will take some time to consolidate my cultivation. You might as well find someone else. Such a good deed, Du Yu Tianfeng and the others must be extremely happy." Zhang Shiping refused.

"Brother Zhang, don't be in a hurry to refuse. I have just conceived a baby, and I need more time to consolidate. Brother Zhang still thinks about it. We will leave in three months. If you are interested, you can come to Li Island and join us Let's go together." Yan Li said.

"Okay, I'll think about it. I still have some things to do right now, so I won't bother you anymore." Zhang Shiping said.

"Since that's the case, then I won't hold you back anymore, brother Zhang, I'll give you off!" Yan Li got up and said.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them turned into streamers, piercing the sky.

After a while, Yan Li turned back to the small pavilion, looked at Yanyu Tower, and shook his head lightly a few times.

"Do you disagree? He is still so cautious. Since this fellow Daoist Zhang does not accept my kindness, then forget it. But Qin Feng, it was beyond my expectation. He didn't tell the whole thing. It seems that From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to have anything to do with the clan anymore. Zhou, Cao, Ming, Li, Chen, Zhao, Mu, Qin, and Shi have nine surnames, and the ancestors of Qin Xiangshan and Qin Feng are all from the Qin family. Our Yan family was originally a chess piece buried in Xuanyuanzong by the Cao family, and we have some connections with each other." Yan Yulou said calmly.

"Old Ancestor, although our Yan family was once a pawn they buried in the sect, their clan has fled overseas for thousands of years, and even the last ancestor of the Cao family has been killed by Venerable Hongyue , why should we worry about it?" Yan Li said with a frown.

"Scrupulous? Our Yan family is the Yan family of Xuanyuanzong. How can we care about those dogs who fled in a hurry? In the past, the clan fled Nanzhou in a hurry, but took away an unknown number of spiritual objects. Now Nanzhou knows that the clan is hiding Apart from Cao Xiu, Qin Feng is probably the only one in this land. Originally, I wanted to find out the news from Zhang Shiping, but he is too vigilant!" Yan Yulou snorted coldly.

Chapter 733 Destined monk

"He has always been like this. Doesn't the ancestor not know? There are not many people who can endure 200 years of penance. Since he is not willing, then we will slowly plan the clan affairs. As long as they dare to contact us, then There is a chance." Yan Li said.

"The old man's lifespan is running out. I originally wanted to go to Baimang Mountain to fight for it, but the Western Desert is too domineering. We old guys who are close to lifespan have no chance this time. Now the Venerable Hongyue is gone. Go, clan matters are no longer taboo. For the rest of my days, I will try my best to bridge the gap for you and unite with other clans that were once distributed in various clans. As long as they dare to contact us, then I will do my best at that time. Erosion has divided up the rest of the clan, and I hope that we can find the secret place where the ancestors of the clan had to meet the inheritance. Since we can't get our hands on the true inheritance of the clan, only the inheritance of the clan can make our Yan family go further." Yan Yulou said .

"What about the methods of enlightening the emptiness and transforming the gods in recent years, are there hidden troubles?" Yan Li asked.

"Who knows? The appearance of the method of enlightening the emptiness and transforming the gods tens of thousands of years ago is extremely strange, and the new one is also the same now. There must be big people we don't know playing games, no matter what kind of practice, There must be hidden dangers. According to the news from the Red Moon Tower, the Demon Lord of Baimang Mountain is a Mahayana monk of the Sanmu tribe in the spiritual world. The reason why he taught this method is to guide Xiaohuan Those extreme figures in the world, and then thought of slavery! But at that time, there was only this way, and we monks in the small world had no choice! If you can't become a god, Qinghe Yudan and the others are also a dead end. Pity me, even this kind of slavery There is no chance of serving." Yan Yulou sighed.

"Old Ancestor!" Yan Li said with some embarrassment.

"Li'er, the patriarch will teach you a lesson at last. No matter what the outcome of some things is, what the end will be, we and other monks can only turn things around if they are alive. You also think that you have become a Nascent Soul, so you have to hold on to your identity. Everything is imaginary! So what if you are the best in the small world, if you don’t reach the spirit world, you will be a cultivator of transformation if you die. Venerable Hongyue has been in Nanzhou for thousands of years, and even the White Horse Temple dare not compete with him, but Now, where is he? If he is dead, everything is meaningless." Yan Yulou said.

"Thank you for teaching the ancestor." Yan Li said.

"There is also the matter of Yunxian, which is really a pity. Originally, I wanted to marry the Zhang family and advance together." Yan Yulou said.

"Since this is the case, then Yunxian should stay in the clan and cultivate it well, Jindan is not impossible." Yan Li persuaded.

"You can decide this matter. From now on, you will be the master of the family. I, an old guy who is about to die, don't talk too much." Yan Yulou laughed.

……

……

While the old and new Nascent Soul monks of the Yan family were chatting privately, Zhang Shiping, on the other end, left Quinoa Island for more than a thousand miles, and randomly found a small uninhabited island to settle down.

He walked among the trees on the island, frowning slightly, thinking about the things before Yan's house.

What the old guy said about Qin Feng and the clan, in fact, since he learned the nine surnames of the clan, he also had some guesses in his heart.

After all, there must be some connection between Qin Feng and Cao Xiu, a clan monk.

Since Venerable Hongyue suppressed all forces in Nanzhou, the clan has been frightened for the past 3000 years. They only dare to make small moves, and even the connection between each other is a single line, for fear of being followed by Hongyuelou to find overseas strongholds.

In this case, Qin Feng can still win the trust of the other party. It can only be said that he is also from the clan, and there is a natural affection for each other.

However, according to Zhang Shiping's information, Qin Feng was an orphan adopted by Qin Xiangshan in the secular world, so he followed Qin's surname.And if Qin Feng is indeed a monk of the Qin family in the clan, then it would be interesting.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shiping couldn't help chuckling.

It seems that there are still some unknown clan monks in Nanzhou, centipedes, dead but not stiff.

Thinking about it, how could the nine clans that have occupied the hinterland of Nanzhou for 3 years be wiped out by the Red Moon Tower?

Some of them fled overseas in order to attract the attention of Venerable Red Moon, while the other part concealed their identities and continued to live with new faces.

As for the Yan family, they must also be involved with the clan.

And in this way, the Zhang family is also in a similar situation, otherwise Yan Yulou would not have hinted in words.

However, clans have not appeared in Nanzhou legitimately for thousands of years, and some families with intermittent inheritance have long forgotten their past.

In addition, Yan Yulou invited him to explore overseas secret places together, which may be a good intention.

But right now Zhang Shiping hasn't even condensed the Qingshuang Sword to the level of Lingbao, and his realm cultivation has not been fully consolidated, so this trip is not so safe in his opinion.

Although Yan Yulou first wanted to be a matchmaker, it was only later that he talked about it.

If an ordinary person rejects the former at the beginning, and then refuses later, he will always feel a little embarrassed, and maybe he will agree after hesitation.

But this kind of small talk skills didn't have much effect on Zhang Shiping's side.He has a steelyard in his heart, he has his own plans for when and what to do, and he will not change his mind just because of a few words from others and being tempted by some.

Although sometimes a monk is too rational and cares too much about the pros and cons, and will miss some opportunities, but this is better than losing his life unknowingly!

Of course, what is more important is that he has not yet been named in the Yinming Book. If the other party has murderous intentions, then when one side is prepared and the other side is not prepared, a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator , I am afraid that even the Nascent Soul will not be able to escape.

Maybe this opportunity is not shallow, but Zhang Shiping didn't plan to go out rashly before he was ready.

As for the timing of going out, at least wait until he has guarded Binhai City for 180 years and has completely consolidated his current realm, and during this period, he should prepare more means to deal with various contingencies.

After this, he will start to really come and go to seek spiritual things.

After all, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, relying on ordinary meditation to refine qi, I am afraid it will take an extra thousand years, and the true emperors in the early stage of the Nascent Soul may not be able to advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a Nascent Soul cultivator who would be stuck in the early stage all his life and would not be able to make any progress.

But the most indispensable thing for a monk is patience. The more anxious a monk is, the easier it is to fall into the trap of others and the faster he dies!

After making up his mind, Zhang Shiping originally wanted to go back on the road and return to Binhai City.

But he suddenly had an idea, disappeared in a flash, and appeared in another mountain peak on the island the next moment. Looking at the deep stone cave in front of him, he lost his breath and walked in.

Slanting down the cave, Zhang Shiping walked about forty or fifty feet away. After the end, he just saw a mid-second-order giant python sleeping in a snake coil in the darkness.Around this monster, there are many corpses scattered here and there, not only the corpses of various monsters, but also more than a dozen broken human bones.

He picked up the storage bags scattered among the corpses as if no one was there, but instead of taking them away, he flipped his hands and took out an exquisite brocade box sealed by several talismans, and put it inside.

Inside the brocade box is a large, simple and yellow spirit bead, which records the location of Mingxin Bieyuan and the method of entering and exiting it, as well as a wisp of Zhang Shiping's spiritual consciousness lurking, waiting for the fate monk.

After finishing, he casually threw the storage bag among the corpses, and appeared outside the cave in a flash.

The sound woke up the giant python. It spat out a dark red snake letter, and with a pair of emotionless eyes, it scanned the surroundings of the cave. After finding nothing, it suddenly heard some movement outside the cave, and rushed out.

Chapter 734

It's just that Zhang Shiping has disappeared without a trace at this moment, only a ray of red light leisurely fell on the black and flat triangular head of the giant python.

As soon as the red light came into contact with the scales, it immediately blended into it silently, and the giant python's eyes suddenly glowed red, roaring and roaring, spewing out a jet of black air, and spreading forward.

Wherever the black air goes, the trees are withered, the soil and rocks are scorched black, and the stench is blown everywhere with the wind.

The giant python walked through the forest, swinging its long iron-like tail from time to time, and broke the big tree with the thickness of an ordinary person's waist in one fell swoop, causing the animals and birds on the island to jump up and down in shock, and instinctively ran away for their lives.

……

……

More than ten days later.

Over the sea area of ​​Chenopodium Island in the South China Sea, a brown flying boat about ten feet long flew from the direction of Binhai City. There were seven or eight monks of different cultivation levels on the flying boat.

Most of these monks are in the late stage of Qi refining, and there are only two in the foundation stage.One is an old man in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and the other is a younger-looking man in the early stage of foundation establishment.

This group of people stopped when they flew tens of miles away from the unnamed island. The old man among them walked to the bow of the boat. He closed his eyes and began to perform exercises.

After a few breaths, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, and the blue light in his eyes flickered slightly. He stared forward with his clear eyes, and saw the forest on the unnamed desert island in the distance. Many trees fell to the ground in all directions, as if they had been destroyed by some kind of behemoth.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on the old man's face. He put away his exercises and asked a blue-clothed monk in the late stage of Qi refining on the flying boat:

"Guangrun, did you see that black-scaled python on that island last time? Think about it carefully, how did you encounter it at that time, so that we can judge again, what kind of monster is this?" python?"

"Elder, the monster python is about seven or eight feet long, with black scales all over its body, red eyes, and an extremely irritable temperament. Judging from its aura, it should be around the middle of the second level. I rested on the ground for a while, but just as I fell, when I was still ten or twenty feet away from the ground, the demon python suddenly shot out of the forest like a flying arrow, and almost tore me off. The beast failed, just fell At the same time, it sprayed another puff of black air, and I only smelled a little, and I felt dizzy. Fortunately, I hid a detoxification pill in the tooth socket, otherwise I would not be able to come back." The blue-clothed monk said a little Said with fear.

"Black scales and red eyes, a body seven to eight feet long, and the ability to breathe black air, these are all too common. In the islands of the South China Sea, there are no less than ten kinds of monster pythons with these characteristics. It seems that we have to lure them out to know Which kind is it? But this demon python seems to be very low in mind, and it must not be too high, otherwise it will lurk for a while, and you will not be able to escape. It’s just that nearly ten days have passed, if the island It's not where its lair is, and I don't know if it left," said the man in the early stage of foundation establishment.

"We can only make random guesses here, fly the spirit boat forward, stop about three miles from the edge of the island, and don't fly too low, at least keep it at a height of four or fifty feet, otherwise if it is that The first monster python hides its cultivation, deliberately let Guangrun go, and lured us to come, then it will suffer." The old man said calmly.

The monsters on land are different from those of the sea clan. The spiritual intelligence of the second-level monsters is already comparable to that of ordinary people in their teens, and they are not as ignorant as the sea beasts of the same level of cultivation.

Under the order of the old man, another late-stage Qi-refinement cultivator who was manipulating the flying boat immediately activated the Wind Control Formation and flew forward.

Three miles away from the edge of the island, the group stopped again.

The old man and the middle-aged man left the flying boat with their weapons, and slowly approached the island while fully unfolding their spiritual sense to detect the nearby wind and grass.

After a while, the two flew the last distance and set foot on the island.

The middle-aged man wiped the animal imperial bag around his waist, and saw a flash of white light. On the open space in front of him, there were four more tightly bound yellow cattle, each of which was a new-ranked monster. Fat and bright.

'Moo...' the ox demon wailed.
