longevity road trip

This square city is in the country of Qi, and it is regarded as a place controlled by the Zhengyang Sect. The Zongmen cannot turn a blind eye to such crooked ways. In the end, the eagle-nosed middle-aged man stepped on a giant sword and flew towards Zhengyang Peak.

A few days later, the five foundation-building cultivators of the Zongmen drove the flying magic weapon towards the dark shop in Fangshi in Qi State.After another ten days or so, the five people stopped outside a hill. This hill is a first-order spiritual mountain. There is a small square city in the mountain, which can be regarded as a blessed place for cultivation in the secular world.

After the five people entered Fangshi, they went straight to the dark shop, and the entrance was in a refining shop.However, when the five Zhengyang sect monks came, they were in vain. There were only some messy things left in the underground secret room of the refining shop, and some bones that had lost their essence were scattered, and no one was seen.

The owner of that shop was a casual cultivator, who didn't know the root and the bottom, and he disappeared.

Everyone turned over the ground three feet, and after finding nothing, they could only leave in resentment.

……

On the other side, Zhang Shiping didn't bother with this matter anymore, the evil cultivator's matter was beyond the task he accepted, and encountering such a matter was much more dangerous than hunting second-tier monsters.

He himself carried out this mission for Youhuosha. Now that he confirmed the existence of Youhuosha, he went back to Kunshan and began to try to transfer the mana of "Qingxuan Yuhuojue" into "Huoya". Tactics" mana comes.

Time passed quickly, a year and a half passed in a blink of an eye, and the spiritual rice planted near Kunshan was harvested twice, and many things in the mountain were already on the right track, so Zhang Shiping didn't need to worry too much.

In the Kunshan Cave Mansion, Zhang Shiping sat cross-legged on the futon. Zhang Shiping had converted all his mana into the mana of the Fire Crow Jue, and successfully cultivated the first three levels of the "Huo Crow Jue".

The exercises that can cultivate to the golden core are different. Zhang Shiping operates in the body according to the exercises.The operation method of this "Fire Crow Jue" is much more complicated than that of "Qingxuan Yuhuo Jue", with many more meridians and acupuncture points.

At first he was not used to it, but after he got used to it, Zhang Shiping found that he practiced faster.

Zhang Shiping tried to cultivate the fourth layer of "Fire Crow Jue". With the exercise, a red mask emerged on Zhang Shiping's body, but there was no Youhuosha. The red light was very illusory, like bubbles floating in the sky, as if falling It will be broken in a moment.

Sure enough, this extremely unstable red mask, at the next moment, Zhang Shiping suddenly felt that his mana was not as peaceful as before, and the mana in his meridians became irritable. After the red mask was twisted for a while, Zhang Shiping tried his best to stabilize it, but in the end it Broken and dissipated.

Zhang Shiping groaned in pain, he wanted to hold back, tried his best to calm down the mana in his body, but it was useless, there was a lot of blood rushing up from his throat, blood kept overflowing from Zhang Shiping's nose and mouth, even two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes, In the end, he spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and his face was unusually ruddy.

Zhang Shiping was frightened and terrified. He never imagined that without You Huo Sha, he would be so embarrassed by forcibly practicing the fourth level of "Fire Crow Jue". Only Huo Sha can practice the fourth level of kung fu.

While Zhang Shiping was horrified, he secretly thought that he was too careless.He immediately took out several healing pills from the storage bag and took them. After a while, Zhang Shiping's breath calmed down.

Seven days later, Zhang Shiping, who recovered from his internal injuries, put away the bronze lamp, got up and left the cave. He wiped it in his storage bag, took out the flying magic weapon, and flew into the sky. For a flash of fire, he flew down from mid-air and sent a message to one of the monks of the Zhang family, which explained some things about Ye Kunshan.

Chapter 66 The Village

Zhang Shiping went to Fengyi County this time to practice the fourth layer of "Fire Crow Jue" in the cave, and he estimated that the time would not be too short.It is not slow for him to transfer to the first three levels of exercises, that is because he already has the foundation of "Qingxuan Yuhuo Jue".

As for practicing the fourth level of "Fire Crow Jue", Zhang Shiping couldn't leave Youhuosha for a long time during this period, so he had to report to the Zongmen and explain clearly what he was going to do.Although the monks who established the foundation in Zhengyangzong have a lot of freedom, they can't disappear for a long time without saying a word.

So after Zhang Shiping left Ye Kunshan, he turned around and drove the flying magic weapon to Zhengyang Peak.

However, Zhang Shiping's past trip this time was very unlucky, Sect Leader Chang happened to be away, so he went to the back mountain to visit Yuanying Patriarch and reported something important.

That's because of the ice spirit stone mine in Yuran Mountain. In one of the mines controlled by Zhengyangzong, cold air suddenly gushed out from the ground, freezing all the nearby mortal miners into popsicles. Some spirit stones were produced, and the ice attribute aura contained in them was extremely abundant, and it was only one step away from becoming a top-grade ice spirit stone, but now it is only one step away from directly rushing out, but the value is very different, which is a pity.

Once the spirit stone reaches the top grade, it can not only be used for cultivation, like many high-level formations, forging magic weapons, refining high-level medicine, etc., all use high-grade spirit stones.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was in charge of the mine discovered this at the first time, and he immediately reported to the Zhengyang Zong Jindan female cultivator Xie Ping, and he had already temporarily sealed the cold acupoint immediately. The shivering miners at the edge of the mine pit were not frozen into popsicles. He ordered the qi training disciples to watch over them all and not let them leave, waiting for the Zongmen Jindan to make a decision.

After Jindan nun Xie Ping came over, she set up a large forbidden formation near the mine, and went down the mine herself. Half a day later, the Jindan monk flew out of the mine wearing a white mask.

In private, she gave a high-grade ice spirit stone to Gu Binghua, a late-stage foundation-building monk in the mine, and asked him to rush back to the sect overnight.

Therefore, after Chang Younian heard the news, he took the high-grade ice spirit stone to meet the ancestor of the sect. A medium-grade spirit stone vein and a high-grade spirit stone vein are two different things for a sect. a different concept.

That Gu Binghua followed behind the head, and after entering the ancestor's cave mansion, the monk in the late stage of foundation establishment was extremely respectful.

In the main hall of Zhengyang Peak, Zhang Shiping didn't know where the headmaster had gone, but in the main hall, Yun Qi, a golden core monk, was in charge of the sect, so Zhang Shiping reported his affairs to Uncle Yun Qi Ten all reported up.

Foundation-building cultivators have to prepare for the first three stages of refining evil spirits before the first three levels, or look for some body-training exercises and medicinal pills to strengthen the body, in order to prepare for the middle stage of foundation-building, so Yun Qi also understands Zhang Shiping's approach.

Every monk after the middle stage of foundation establishment, as long as he is not seriously injured and his magic power collapses, there are hundreds of thousands of mortals, all of them holding knives, swords, swords, crossbows and bows, and they can't hurt the middle stage of foundation establishment monks at all.

This is also an important reason why monks can transcend the world.

Of course, the monks' eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and other seven orifices, as well as the weak points of the body, still need to be protected by magic power, otherwise they may die if they are not lucky.

The hunchbacked Yun Qi, sitting on the futon, raised his head to look at Zhang Shiping, thought for a while, and agreed to Zhang Shiping's request. Yun Qi took out the sect leader's token from the storage bag, which was the golden pen and jade certificate. After consulting Zhang Shiping's information, Zhang Shiping was given three years.

But in the past three years, all Zhang Shiping's spiritual stone income in Kunshan belonged to the Zongmen, and Zhang Shiping only had the spiritual stone offering income of the Zongmen's foundation-building monks.And this spirit stone, only after Zhang Shiping came back to accept the Zongmen mission, and after completing it, would it be distributed to him along with the mission rewards.

Yun Qi explained all these things to Zhang Shiping, and Zhang Shiping agreed without thinking.He managed to find Youhuosha with great difficulty, and he would never let go of this opportunity. If he missed this time, then Zhang Shiping didn't know which monkey year he was going to find.

Afterwards, after Zhang Shiping bid farewell to Jindan monk Yunqi, he drove to Fengyi County of Qi State.

……

The small forest where Youhuoshajing Cave Mansion is located is called Shiping Mountain by the people in the nearby villages.

There is a stone peak five or six hills away from Shiping Mountain. It used to be called Chifengyan. The team disturbed the village, and all the villages in the ten miles and eight villages called that mountain Heihu Mountain.

The big leader of the Black Tiger Village, Chen Chuan, has practiced kung fu all over his body, and the black tiger heart claws on hand have been practiced to a high degree of proficiency. He is a first-class master of the rivers and lakes. He doesn't.

In addition to this Black Tiger Mountain, there are only two roads up the mountain, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a clear spring on the top of the mountain, and because these bandits have prepared enough food on the mountain all year round, the county and county have repeatedly encircled and suppressed them. In the end, they all returned in vain.

Every time the encirclement and suppression was carried out, this group of Heihuzhai would intensify their efforts. I don't know how many villages suffered.

It's not that the villagers in the nearby villages don't want to leave, and they can't leave at all. These days, when entering a city, there must be a guide. What's more, after these villagers leave, they lose their land. After all, they still have no way to survive and can only endure for a day. Count the day.

In the past, the people in Heihuzhai would not have done everything right, but today is different. The leader of Heihuzhai, Chen Chuan, went down the mountain and galloped. I don't know where I snatched the iron armor from. The dozens of people in the back were dressed in animal skins, and each of them was holding a big knife, mace, hammer, etc., shouting and laughing all the way, as if rushing from hell. The evil spirits that came out.

There are not so many heroic heroes who have nowhere to go, some of them are just more ruthless than one.

As soon as the villagers in Zhujiazhuang found that the people from Heihuzhai had come down the mountain, they immediately beat gongs and drums, worked in the fields, and rested at home. The villagers immediately picked up their poles, hoes, and kitchen knives, and surrounded the village entrance. The wooden door at the village entrance had already been closed, and the villagers were at the entrance. With a tense look, there were strong young men holding a hoe with the recklessness of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. They climbed up the earthen wall and looked at the people in Heihuzhai. pee out.

The leader of Heihuzhai, Chen Chuan, is a bearded man. The palms of his hands are one-third larger than normal people, and his knuckles are covered with gray and white calluses. He saw the people at the entrance of Xia'an Village in front of him from a distance, and stretched out his hands. Come on, stopped the brothers behind, and shouted to the village. After a while, an old man came out from the crack of the door, holding a cloth bag.

In the past, this old man also negotiated with the robbers in Heihuzhai.This old man is called Zhu Laosan. He is 68 years old this year. He is a villager in Zhujiazhuang. .

But the strongmen in Heihuzhai don't care about that many. When they saw an old man come out, all the thieves in Heihuzhai laughed loudly. Going to Zhu Laosan's side, he pulled the cloth bag. Zhu Laosan couldn't stand still, was pulled, and fell directly on the ground, struggling to get up.

The big leader of Heihuzhai took the cloth bag thrown by the young man, opened it, and found a few pieces of broken silver and two to three hundred copper coins inside, which was about the same amount as usual. Logically speaking, they should go to the next village.

But today, after the people in Heihuzhai received the money, just as Zhu Laosan and the villagers behind him breathed a sigh of relief, the big leader waved his hand, and everyone in Heihuzhai rushed over. When the tall horse bumped into him, the person fell directly to the ground, and was trampled by the horse's hooves, dying.

Chapter 67

The villager held the wooden door tightly, and the people from Heihuzhai threw several crock pots of vegetable oil on the wooden door, threw the torch away, and the fire ignited immediately, with black smoke billowing out.

The other side of the gate attracted the attention of the villagers, and the leader of Heihuzhai stepped on the horse himself. With this strength, the man climbed up the earth wall, stuck his ten fingers in the crack of the earth wall, and climbed up in a few strokes. Yes, he was followed by a few brothers with good skills.

The villagers in the village are their opponents who use knives and guns all day long. Half a day later, Chen Chuan, the leader of Heihuzhai, took out an iron bottle engraved with tadpole inscriptions from his arms and put it on the nose of each dead villager. Next, two streams of white gas were sucked into the bottle with a faint whimpering sound.

The rest of the villagers were able to escape, but those who could not escape either died or were robbed up the mountain.A group of people from Heihuzhai happily went up the mountain with several ox carts, and there were ruins behind them.

The villagers who escaped and hid before came back one after another after a day or two to pack up the corpses of the village, but all of these corpses were dug out by the bandits in Heihuzhai, but they were still in their arms. The same goes for a full moon baby.

The villagers who survived went to the county seat to report to the officials again, crying because those who heard it were sad and those who saw it shed tears.

The county lord has grey-haired and cares about these villagers.

Until night, when he stayed in the room of the concubine who had just entered the door for three days and was as beautiful as a flower, with a soft body and soft voice, he even drank two glasses less than before, and the two of them could only blow out the candles and go to bed early I went, tired all night.

During that time, there were children crying in the county, and the adults threatened him to be careful that the black tiger would come at night and take out your heart, and the crying of the children stopped immediately.

……

Zhang Shiping flew all the way here, about ten days and a half months, but met a few Qi training monks who were collecting elixir in the mountains, Zhang Shiping did not stop.

He happened to fly over the foot of Shiping Mountain, and saw the plain houses in Zhujiazhuang, all crying. He was just a little curious, and he didn't stop. In a blink of an eye, he flew under the two huge rocks that were seven or eight feet high, and he was familiar with the road and squeezed sideways. After crossing the boulder and arriving at the place where the two small trees were located, they moved and leaped to activate the 36 formation nodes, open the cave, and jump in.

After Zhang Shiping entered, he immediately closed the cave, and walked quickly to the Youhuo Sha Well. He performed the fourth level of the "Fire Crow Jue", and after an illusory red mask appeared on his body, he was completely naked and threw himself into the cave. into the well.

In the Youhuosha well, Zhang Shiping immersed himself in it, enduring the pain caused by Youhuosha. Gradually, he huddled into a ball like a fetus breathing, keeping the same source, turning himself into a newborn appearance. The net is like the blue sky after the rain.

As the days passed, he continued to absorb You Huo Sha and refine the evil energy. His dantian mana was gradually contaminated with the uniqueness of You Huo Sha, and the red mask around his body gradually solidified, no longer illusory.

After a long time, the red mask slowly shrunk, closing to the third part of Zhang Shiping's skin, and finally clinging to the skin of Zhang Shiping's whole body, the whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of red skin. Slowly reduce until only a thin layer remains at the bottom of the well.

Zhang Shiping, who was covered in red, woke up from the fetal breathing state. At this time, he still closed his eyes, exuding divine consciousness. After sweeping his whole body, with a smile on his mouth, he stretched out his whole body, closing the fire crow cover. into the body.

Perhaps because of soaking in the Youhuo Sha Well for a long time, Zhang Shiping's whole body was abnormally morbidly fair.

He patted the bottom of Youhuosha well with his palm, and he immediately went up. After leaving the Youhuosha well, Zhang Shiping took out his clothes from the storage bag and put them on. With a thought, a red mask appeared all over his body , big or small, the heart moves at will.

Two fire crows suddenly appeared from the red light mask. This was a second-level spell that he inspired through the fire crow mask. They appeared almost as soon as he moved his mind. There was no need to cast spells, which saved a lot of effort.

These two fire crows are also the number he can cast at the fastest speed at present. He can also release a few more at a time through the fire crow cover, which is powerful, but it takes a little longer, and he loses his agility and concealment. The loss outweighs the gain.

In this cave, the protective formation in the exercise room was not activated either. Zhang Shiping took out more than a dozen spirit stones from his storage bag and activated the protective formation again.

In the practice room, formations enveloped the entire room.Zhang Shiping controlled the two fire crows, collided with the stone wall of the practice room, and burst open. After doing this several times, the formation in the practice room flickered, and finally disappeared.

The spiritual power in the dozens of low-grade spirit stones that Zhang Shiping took out just now has been exhausted. He is very satisfied with the power and speed of the fire bird technique released by the fire crow cover.

As for the specific protective power of this fire crow cover, Zhang Shiping is still unknown for the time being.

Zhang Shiping didn't know how long it took him this time. After he came out, the two small trees still didn't grow up at all, and he couldn't see how much time had passed.

He walked outside, and among the trees beside the two boulders, one of them was only as thick as his arm when he came, but now it is quite thick.

Zhang Shiping lowered his head and touched the bark of this tree, thinking that it seemed that he was in the cave mansion, practicing the Fire Crow Mask, it might take him several years.

There were footsteps not far away, Zhang Shiping found out when he just came out of the cave, he had already used his divine sense to scan, there were two of them, they were just farmers chopping firewood, ordinary mortals.

One is a relatively young black-faced boy, walking in front with two large bundles of firewood on his shoulders. Behind him is an older villager, who seems to be in his fifties, but most villagers are more exposed to wind and sun. Looking old, that person should be around forty years old, and that person is carrying firewood just like the black-faced boy.

The two came over, and the older villager looked at Zhang Shiping and yelled: "Hey, the young man in front, it's getting late, why don't you go down the mountain, there will be more snakes and insects in the mountain at night."

The two walked a few more steps and found that Zhang Shiping was still standing there. The elderly villager said, "Young man, if you get lost, come down the mountain with us."

Seeing that the villager has a good heart, although Zhang Shiping wants to go back to the sect, he is not in a hurry, since it should have been a long time anyway.

Zhang Shipingyuan said hello, and ran over.

On the way, Zhang Shiping asked the two people what year it was. It was the 13th year of Qi Guoyuan Guang when he entered the Dongfu to practice. Unfortunately, the two people didn't know what time it was, but he said that a few days ago at the entrance of the village, a government servant came to post A notice was posted, and there seemed to be some kind of Yuanguang there.

The two were illiterate, but they had a little impression when they heard the yamen servant read the notice.

Zhang Shiping casually asked what the notice said. Naturally, it was impossible for the two of them to memorize the notice in its entirety. They could only talk about it in general. It was nothing more than the fact that the Heihu Village, which had committed many crimes, had been wiped out by the government. The big leader was not caught, and the government came to inform that if he was found, he must report to the officials. If there is a hidden possession, the whole family will suffer.

The two talked one by one, with fear on their faces, but also a little joy, the Black Tiger Village was finally wiped out by the government, and everyone will have a good life in the future, and no longer have to worry about being unable to sleep.

As for the leader of Heihuzhai who dares to hide it privately, the villagers in these ten miles and eight townships wish to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Zhang Shiping followed the two down the mountain, walked along the dirt road for a long time, and finally crossed a small bridge. The three of them walked for about ten miles before arriving at the village.

Zhang Shiping saw the notice posted on the earthen wall at the entrance of the village. It was written in black and white, and next to it was an arrest warrant with a picture of a man with a beard.After Zhang Shiping glanced at the head portrait of Chen Chuan, the leader of Heihuzhai, he looked to the lower left of the notice, where the date was written, July 500th, 17th year of Yuanguang.

Zhang Shiping immediately did the calculations, and it turned out that he had spent more than four years in the cave, which was more than the time given by Uncle Yun Qiyun, a monk of Jindan sect.

Chapter 68

Zhang Shiping frowned, he didn't expect that it took him so long to cultivate the Fire Crow Mask, and the three years originally set were not enough.It is true that there is no time to practice.

Zhang Shiping felt the magic power of his own dantian. For four years, he practiced exercises in the Youhuosha Well. During this period, he was in a state of fetal breathing. Without the assistance of the bronze lamp, his own cultivation has not yet reached the second floor of the foundation. , Zhang Shiping estimated the mana in his dantian, and after half a year of hard work, he should be able to advance.

Zhang Shiping grinned wryly. Eight or nine years have passed since he established the foundation. The previous time was due to the lack of foundation-building exercises. Even with the aid of bronze lamps, his cultivation did not increase much. "Qingxuan "Fire Control Art" is after all a qi training technique. For a foundation-building monk like Zhang Shiping, it is used to accumulate mana, which is a bit slower.

In the intervening period of more than a year, Zhang Shiping transferred his mana from "Qingxuan Yuhuo Jue" to "Fire Crow Jue", and his cultivation base hardly increased.

But later, he practiced "Fire Crow Jue" almost without sleep, and practiced for more than four years.

Zhang Shiping shook his head, the road of practice is more and more difficult step by step, he is only in the early stage of foundation establishment, if it is in the middle and late stage of foundation establishment, wouldn't it take longer.

The two woodcutters walking in front, seeing Zhang Shiping stop to look at the notice, smiled wryly and shook their heads, thinking that they were scholars who shook their heads when they read books.

There were about a dozen bare-bottomed children running around at the head of the village. When they saw strangers coming in from the village, they all surrounded Zhang Shiping. From time to time poke your head out.

In the village, there were not many elderly villagers sitting under the old tree, only two or three with gray hair and few teeth, smiling and looking at the children.

Zhang Shiping strode forward, and the children immediately dispersed.Zhang Shiping walked up to the two villagers who were chopping firewood and said goodbye to them. When he left, he put a small piece of broken silver in each of their pockets without anyone noticing it, as a reward for their kindness.

It's getting late now, if I don't leave by myself, I will stay at the villagers' house that night, and it will be inconvenient for me to practice.

Zhang Shiping left the village quickly, much faster than when the three of them walked together just now. After leaving the village, Zhang Shiping walked a few miles by himself, seeing no one around, he drove the flying magic weapon into the sky.

After flying for a while, most of the red sun in the sky has set down the mountain, leaving only the afterglow of dusk, and the distant scenery is gradually fading into the night.

Zhang Shiping also landed in a forest, and spread out his spiritual consciousness, looking for a place to rest, to see if there were any caves, tree holes or the like, otherwise he could just find a place and spend the night.

After a while, Zhang Shiping withdrew his consciousness and looked at the front with great interest. After thinking for only a few breaths, he used Qi Containment and Invisibility to hide his own breath. After a while, Zhang Shiping arrived The place where the spiritual sense just checked.

Zhang Shiping lightly landed on the branch, and saw a boy about eleven or twelve years old in front of him, holding a three-foot Qingfeng long sword, fighting with a middle-aged man with beard.

Looking from a distance, Zhang Shiping saw that the middle-aged man with a beard looked like the man he had seen on the bulletin just now, the leader of the Black Tiger Village named Chen Chuan.But what interested Zhang Shiping even more was the boy, and a middle-aged man who was watching the battle with his hands behind his back. Both of them were members of the Zhang family.

This middle-aged man, whom Zhang Shiping knew, was called Zhang Tongzhong. He was of the same generation as Zhang Tongan, but their blood relationship was not very close.Zhang Shiping didn't even need to use the Sky Eye Technique, just looking at the faint spiritual pressure on his body, he knew that Zhang Tongzhong was now a monk at the seventh level of Qi training.

And Zhang Shiping didn't know that boy, thinking about it, since he joined Zhengyangzong at the age of 16, it has been more than ten years now, and this Zhang family boy might not have been born at that time.Zhang Shiping sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that after so many years, he didn't even know the new generation in his clan.
