longevity road trip

……

Just when Zhang Shiping and Du Yu were discussing Taoism in Liang Gufeng and exchanging their experience in practice, after a few days like this, two red lights flew from a distance.

The two monks did not hold back their aura, and immediately alarmed the four of them.

"These two virtuous couples came here in Hongyuelou. I thought they were fellow Taoist Fengxuan. No wonder they came so slowly." Du Yu said slowly, looking up at the startling rainbow in the sky, and then secretly transmitted the sound A few words.

After hearing this, the three of Zhang Shiping nodded their heads to show their understanding.

Now the Taoist friends who can be duoyuxian and his wife in Nanzhou are naturally the two couples in Hongyi City.

Looking at Nanzhou, Ximo, Beijiang and even Cangguyang, among the male and female monks who can get married from the Qi refining stage, and help each other all the way to the Nascent Soul stage, these two are probably the only ones.

And the other Feng Xuan in Du Yu's mouth is that Xuan Yu's disciple.Zhang Shiping once saw this person once in the Red Moon Building on Xiaofeng Island in the South China Sea. At that time, he had just built the foundation, and now it has been more than three hundred years.

After the couple in Hongyi City got closer to Liang Gufeng, Du Yu got up first, followed by Zhang Shiping, and the four of them rose into the air, waiting for the visitor.

Soon, two startled rainbows flew over Liang Gufeng, and after the light dissipated, a man in strong clothes with a spear on his back, and a rather rich woman in red appeared, separated from Zhang Shiping by a few feet , relative to each other.

"I met Zhiyi and the two friends in red." The four said with a nod.

"Fellow daoists who have met Xuanyuanzong." The two in Hongyicheng replied.

"I didn't expect that there were two people coming from Hongyue Tower. I don't know that Fellow Daoist Xuan Yu is back now. The ancient ocean is not as good as Nanzhou. It is better to be careful when going out." Du Yu said calmly Said.

"He will come back as soon as he wants to, so there is no need for fellow Taoist Du Yu to worry about that." Hong Yi laughed.

"Please, both of you, I have prepared some tea, let's drink and chat." Zhang Shiping said.

"You're still being polite, little brother. If Du Yu sits in the city, I'm afraid he won't want to part with this cup of tea." Hong Yi said loudly.

"Red Clothes, you should be called Fellow Daoist Shiheng." The middle-aged monk Zhiyi Zhenjun said in a low voice with no expression on his face.

"What's wrong with the shouting brother, when we started the Zhengyang Sect more than [-] years ago, we were still lined up at that time. I called it like that at that time, and people didn't mind." Hongyi glanced at her husband.

"It doesn't matter, fellow Taoist in red can do whatever he wants. It's okay for the two of you to stand here, please follow me." Zhang Shiping laughed.

"My wife has such a temperament, I'm being rude. Also, on the day of Shiheng and Xuanbai's baby-birth ceremony, my wife and I were unfortunately away from home, so we couldn't come to attend in person. I hope you two don't take offense." Zhi Yi Zhenjun cupped his hands and said.

"Where is it, noble apprentice Duan Xuan has brought gifts to congratulate him." Zhang Shiping said.

That Duan Xuan was the disciple of the two of them personally, but after forming the alchemy, this person put more attention on the forging tool, and somewhat neglected his practice.When Zhang Shiping was building his foundation, he went to Duanxuan Pavilion in the Red Clothes City, and wanted to ask someone to forge a magic weapon, but at that time it was only Master Duan's apprentice who made the move.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was not qualified to meet this Master Duan at that time.

However, at Zhang Shiping and Yan Li's baby-birth ceremony, Master Duan came to congratulate him on behalf of his teacher, following the etiquette of the younger generation, with an extremely respectful attitude.

The matter of practice is so impermanent, there will always be someone who comes from behind.

This is also the reason why Zhang Shiping has deliberately spared time to preach to many Jindan in the city for decades.

If some of these golden elixirs conceive a baby in the future and he dies, then this person will more or less have to consider the past incense.If you don't ask this person to take good care of the Zhang family, but at least he will give you a little face. If the descendants of the Zhang family accidentally offend the other party, this person will not be too embarrassing.

"That's good, I'm a naughty bastard, I still have some use." Hong Yi said.

Zhang Shiping didn't answer, he turned around and led the crowd to fly down to the top of Lianggu Peak.

Chapter 780

The six people flew down to the top of the peak one after another, arranged in two rows, and sat down on the futons on the white jade platform.

With a wave of his sleeves, Zhang Shiping took out a set of celadon landscape tea sets and placed them in front of him. Then he called his hand again, and a ray of crystal clear spiritual water from the distant Spirit Waterfall fell into the copper pot.

As soon as the spirit water was poured into the pot, the silver charcoal in the stove burst into flames.

Zhang Shiping calmly picked up the wooden spoon to scoop up the tea leaves and put them into the six tureen bowls in front of him. As soon as white steam came out from the spout of the copper stove, he poured boiling water over the tea cover, and the fragrance of the tea followed the whiteness. Steam curls up, and the fragrance of tea overflows.

Slowly pour the boiling water up and down repeatedly, and then pour it into a porcelain bowl. A few pieces of tea are stretched and rotated in the clear green liquid, sinking slowly, rising and sinking again, and the bud shadow and water light complement each other.

When the tea sank to the bottom of the cup, standing upright like a pen, Zhang Shiping put the lid on the tea, and with a light wave, the teacup slowly fell in front of everyone.

In this way, time has passed for a long time.

"The reception is not good, I hope the two fellow Taoists don't mind." Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly.

Zhenjun Zhiyi picked up the teacup, picked up the tea cover, smelled the fragrance of the tea, took another sip, and said with praise: "You are very polite, fellow Daoist Shiheng, this tea is better than the ones I have ever drank before. I can't tell what kind of drink it is, just kidding."

"It's normal if fellow daoists can't drink it. This is the spiritual tea specially cultivated by the juniors in the clan for many years. It has never been released outside. It's normal if fellow daoists can't drink it." Zhang Shiping said.

Seeing that Zhenjun Zhiyi still wanted to say a few more words, Zhenjun Hongyi directly put the tea cover aside, picked up the tea cup and drank it down, and then said:

"Okay, the tea has been drunk, it's time to talk about business. Let's talk about it. Now Misty Valley is going to withdraw from the border of the Barbarian Region ahead of schedule and come back to snatch the Red Moon City. What is your Xuanyuanzong's attitude and what do you want to do? Just say it directly, and you don't have to do these roundabout things anymore."

Du Yu took a sip of tea, then looked at True Monarch in Red, and said with a smile: "Reverend Hongyue is gone now, so it would be inappropriate to call Misty City Red Moon City."

"What fellow Taoist Du Yu means, the Xuanyuan Sect has made up its mind to help Misty Valley. According to the agreement between His Holiness and your five sects, Misty Valley has guarded the border of the Nanzhou Barbarian Region for 3000 years, and now only 2000 taels have passed. In 23 years, don't you guys want to break your promise?" Zhenjun Zhiyi said without changing his expression.

"Of course not. I just want to explain to my fellow Taoists that the Red Moon City you are talking about has been owned by Misty Valley since ancient times. Even when Venerable Hongyue was here, he never denied this. It's just that everyone in Misty Valley Friends of the Daoist went to the border, and this Misty City was handed over to you Hongyue Tower to take care of it. I don’t know when this city was renamed as the City of the Red Moon. As for the friends of the Misty Valley, you want to break the agreement with the Venerable Hongyue , Then it depends on you, we are outsiders after all, so it's not easy to get involved." Du Yu said with a smile on his face.

"You Zongmen monks talk like this, and you are not at all cheerful. But even if you have this attitude, it will be easy to handle. Although the venerable has passed away, they should do what Misty Valley once promised , We will naturally have a good discussion with them on this point." The Red Clothes True Monarch said.

"I also hope that fellow Taoists can remember what I said today, and don't break my promise." Zhenjun Zhiyi said in a deep voice.

After finishing speaking, the two stood up and were about to leave.

"Two fellow Taoists, don't sit down for a while, so that I can show my kindness to the landlord." Zhang Shiping said indifferently.

"No, the little brother was still cuter when he was young, but now he has more eyes and it's not fun anymore." Red Clothes True Monarch shook his head and said.

"Fellow daoists are joking, but each has what he needs." Zhang Shiping stood up and said.

After all, people will grow up, let alone after 300 years.

"There are two ways of good and evil in the world, and sometimes the boundaries are blurred. Life and death between us monks is common, but ordinary people are innocent. I hope that fellow Daoist Shiheng can uphold his heart and not lose himself." Zhenjun Zhiyi said with a serious face .

"Fellow daoists can rest assured on this point," Zhang Shiping said.

"Then let's take our leave first, and visit fellow daoists after dealing with the Misty Valley matter," Zhenjun Zhiyi said.

After finishing speaking, the two of them rose into the sky, turned into flying rainbows and disappeared into the sky.

Zhang Shiping looked at the two, Du Yu walked slowly, he shook his head and said:

"Zhiyi is so deeply influenced by the red moon, and he is so naive. He doesn't know how things in the world can be so simply divided into black and white? But he has one point that is right. But the matter of monks should not affect ordinary people. Ordinary manpower is as weak as ants, but it is the foundation of our family after all."

"However, there are always some greedy and aggressive monks who plunder the souls and flesh of mortals to cultivate." Zhang Shiping said.

"It's nothing more than the weak wielding knives at the weaker, and the little fish eating shrimp." Yan Li said quietly.

"The three of you are not of secular background after all. How can these mortals in the secular world have any power to fight against monks? If Master hadn't rescued me from evil cultivators back then, you wouldn't have seen me today It's gone." Tianfeng said with a wry smile.

Among the four people present, both Zhang Shiping and Yan Li came from the cultivation family, while he and Du Yu came from the secular world.

It's just that Du Yu was detected by the monks of Xuanyuanzong since he was a child, and he was directly introduced into the sect, worshiped under Jifeng's sect, and was taught by Qinghe.

As for him, Qinghe was traveling in the secular world, and when he encountered a casual cultivator hunting and killing mortals, he couldn't bear it, so he rescued him.

Different backgrounds and opportunities since childhood, which also led to the different attitudes of each Nascent Soul cultivator of Xuanyuanzong towards mortals.

Although Zhang Shiping never felt that mortals could be compared with monks, he would not mutilate mortals for his own cultivation, so as to take their souls and flesh.

"It seems that senior brother has a lot of emotions, why don't you tell the three of us about the old things?" Du Yu's eyes flashed a hint of curiosity.

"Things have passed for a thousand years, let's forget these old things. However, in the world, it was the same as it was a thousand years ago, and it is about the same now, and there is not much change. No, thanks to the deterrence of the Red Moon Venerable, those evil cultivators Don't dare to be too blatant, those mortals in the world should have gotten better, but that's all." Tianfeng sighed.He didn't want to say more about these past events, and he didn't want to make more memories.

"One person's strength is limited after all. If Venerable Hongyue hadn't worked so hard, a dignified deity wouldn't have lived only 5000 years." Zhang Shiping said.

"It's just a pity. If Venerable Hongyue was still there at that time, he might have ascended to the spirit world with Demon Venerable now. Now people are like a lamp going out, and everything will stop!" Tianfeng said.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Chapter 781

Zhang Shiping looked at the vast ocean in the distance, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

After a long time, he just sighed and said: "Although Venerable Hongyue has gone, but after all, he has saved the last bit of backbone for me and other monks in the small world. It is sad and magnificent."

The period of demon soul reunification has been set since 800 years ago. The four old monks Xuanshan, Xifeng, and Ximo, as well as other newly promoted monks of Huashen, and many monks of Nascent Soul, which one of them has not been born? It has been planned for thousands of years.If Venerable Hongyue really planned to ascend to the spirit world, how could he disregard his own safety and fight the clan Huashen over and over again.

In the clan, three Huashen venerables were killed in the hands of Hongyue venerable, and Zhou Xuan, the Hai clan and Yao clan, Huashen Yaozun secretly continued, and after the overall situation was stabilized, he suppressed the major sects of Nanzhou. The monks, together with them, defined the commandment that monks should not harass mortals, which reduced the number of monks doing harm to mortals by an unknown amount.

All kinds of resistance encountered here, as well as exhausted mental strength, are enough to make a cultivator of transforming spirits feel mentally and mentally exhausted.

Therefore, although judging from the results, the clan was almost wiped out, and the life and death of the Heijiao Yaozun of the Sea Clan was unknown, but this was not without the slightest price.

From the fact that Venerable Hongyue only has a mere five thousand lifespan, which is a thousand years less than other early stages of transformation of gods, one can see how heavy the price paid by this mid-stage of transformation of gods is. !

In a place like Xiaohuanjie, which is close to the end of practice, it is difficult for ordinary monks to conceive a baby, but Hongyue was able to take another step after being promoted to Huashen, under the weight of a world of confinement, and advanced to The mid-term realm is enough to see how amazing it is.

If he ascends to the spirit world, he will definitely be able to become a cave monk in a short period of time, and it will not be difficult to even fit into one body and cross the realm of tribulation.

It's just that, as Tianfeng said, death is like a lamp being extinguished, and all he left to many monks in the small world is this worthless, or invaluable integrity.

Especially in contrast to many great cultivators of Huashen and Nascent Soul who are like beggars yearning for the guidance of the demon king, but Hongyue resolutely turned around in the ancient ocean and turned into a sky full of stars alone. Let the younger generation can't help feeling emotional.

However, maybe hundreds or thousands of years later, the monks in Nanzhou will gradually forget about this matter, just like the wind blows up and the clouds disperse.

When everyone heard what Zhang Shiping said, a trace of complexity appeared in their eyes.

But if Venerable Red Moon gets taller, he will look even more unbearable to Qinghe Yudan and even other deities.Although these choices of transforming gods are more in line with human nature, and in the eyes of most monks, there is nothing wrong with them, but it is no longer possible to use simple right and wrong to draw a final conclusion on this matter.

However, the little bit of confusion in the eyes of the four of them disappeared quickly, and the calm look was restored again, like a deep and unmarked ancient well, which can reflect the sky and birds, except that the original childish face of each person is missing.

"Everyone should practice their own karma." Yan Li suddenly sighed.

Then the golden light flashed all over his body, and suddenly turned into a startling rainbow, piercing through the air and disappearing into the sky.

"Reverend Hongyue, those who learn will live, and those who are like it will die. It is useless to think too much, and it is useless to do too much!" Du Yu also muttered to himself, as if to cheer himself up, and then walked slowly down the mountain.

"They!" Tianfeng shook his head and said, as if he was about to leave.

It's just that Zhang Shiping suddenly said: "Tianfeng, wait a minute."

"Why, is there anything else on Shiheng's side?" Tianfeng responded.

"I suddenly remembered something. I don't know if you have other things. If you have time, I may trouble you to guard the city for me for a while." Zhang Shiping said.

"How long?" Tianfeng said without changing his expression.

"The shortest time is half a month, and the longest time is one month." Zhang Shiping said.

Tianfeng thought for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded and said: "Yes, you can give me the guard token, I will sit here for you for a while, and you can go back early as soon as possible."

"Thank you." Zhang Shiping cupped his hands and said, then he took out a token and a jade slip, and handed them over.

"This is?" Tianfeng asked in surprise after receiving the token and the jade slip.

"You'll know it after you've seen it." Zhang Shiping said with a smile.

"What are you trying to trick?" Tianfeng also had a smile on his face after hearing this, and he sank his consciousness into it.

After a while, the smile on his face grew wider.

"Shiheng is so polite." Tianfeng said, he flipped his hands and put away the things in his hands.

"It's nothing, it's just some unique comprehensions in practice over the years, just take a look when you're sitting in town, it's a way to pass the time." Zhang Shiping said.

This jade slip records some of his insights into the method of fire movement when he practiced the first volume of "Liujia True Strategies", "The Spiritual Essence of Noon Fire", and it is also suitable for Tianfeng, a Yuanying monk.

"If there are such good things, it will be like spending ten or eight years, and I will drink sweets." Tianfeng cupped his hands and said.

"As long as you are satisfied, I will trouble you during this time." Zhang Shiping said, and then he rose from the sky and turned into a blue rainbow.

After a while, Duanguang disappeared into the sky, disappeared behind the cloud, and disappeared without a trace.

……

……

In less than two hours, Zhang Guoheng Prefecture was more than four thousand miles away from Yuanxiao Binhai City.

In a flash of inspiration from the horizon, a blue rainbow shot out from among the clouds, but in the blink of an eye, it appeared above the valley of resentful fire.

After the light faded away, a young brocade-clothed male cultivator appeared, and this person was Zhang Shiping.

As soon as he appeared, he swept around the valley, and his consciousness disappeared in a wave. After seeing that no one was watching, he landed in the valley.

Then he walked to a cliff, and he took out a ruby ​​token.

Wisps of faint red light shot out from the token and sank into the cliff.

After a few breaths, two middle-aged foundation-building monks walked out of it.

"Wen Ting and Wen Yi pay homage to the ancestors." As soon as these two people saw Zhang Shiping, they immediately bowed and bowed.
