longevity road trip

"I haven't had any contact with the Ten Thousand Blood Sect in the past two years." Regarding his father's question, Zhao Wuxie said with certainty.It's not that I don't know that the ancestor of the Zongmen is very concerned about everything about Wanjianmen, how can I not know what is good or bad.

"Regardless of whether you still have it or not, the sect will wipe out the Ten Thousand Blood Sect in six days, and you must participate then, so as not to offend others." Chang Younian stared at Zhao Wuxie, and said solemnly: "You But don't let me down."

……

Three days later, Zhang Shiping drove the flying magic weapon to Wuxin Lake. It was a blessing or a disaster, and the disaster could not be avoided.The sect already knew about his origin in Baiyuan Mountain, and it was recorded in the records. Even if Zhang Shiping wanted to leave, he still had to worry about his family.

At noon, there is a pavilion on the raised reef island on the side of Wuxin Lake. The white stone is the base and the pagoda is the top cover. Just a few steps away from the stone railing is the sparkling lake water.

Zhang Shiping was sitting in the pavilion, and Xu Youdan was opposite him. He had been looking at Zhang Shiping for a long time without saying a word, Zhang Shiping's scalp was numb.

Finally, Zhang Shiping couldn't take it anymore, and said to Xu Youdan with a wry smile: "Uncle Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. As long as I can do it, I won't frown even if I go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, but my strength is limited. If you don't catch me, I hope my uncle will forgive me."

Anyone can say beautiful words, but Zhang Shiping dare not pat his chest in front of Jindan cultivator.

A few days ago, Zhang Shiping was still worried about what this Uncle Xu had planned for him, but after thinking about it, Zhang Shiping changed his mind. When he left the cave in Kunshan, he had already grinned his mouth Open, put on a smiling face, Jindan cultivator wants to have any bad intentions for him, it still needs to be so complicated.

I can't stay in the sect all the time, there are always times when I go out, how can a golden core monk not seize the opportunity?

Thinking about it this way, it felt like a broken can, but Zhang Shiping let go a lot in his heart, since he couldn't hide, he could only look at the other party.

"I don't know whether it's right or wrong for me to do this," Xu Youdan sighed, looked at Zhang Shiping, and said quietly, "Forget it, it's up to you to decide."

Zhang Shiping was baffled and didn't know what Uncle Xu was talking about. He couldn't understand a word. Xu Youdan tapped his index finger on the stone table, and the frequency became slower and slower. He stopped and took out a ring from the storage bag. Here comes the card and put it in front of Zhang Shiping.

The token seems to have been around for a certain period of time. Zhang Shiping saw a Lingshan engraved on one side of the token, which was clearly his Zhang family's White Ape Mountain.

At this moment, Zhang Shiping was suspicious.

"I know that you must have a lot of doubts in your heart when I call you this time, but let me tell you, the ancestors of your Zhang family are my masters, so you don't need to worry too much." Xu Youdan slowly said to Zhang Shiping, these words He actually didn't want to say it, because he had some things to do himself, and he was worried that it would affect the Zhang family.

However, the Zhang family finally produced Zhang Shiping, who had great potential and built his foundation in his twenties. Xu Youdan thought for a while, and felt that he should take care of him, and returned his master, who was the ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Shilong. Kindness.

Enmity and hatred will continue along the incense.

When Zhang Shiping heard the words of Xu Shishu from the Zongmen, he was quite surprised. He had an expression of disbelief on his face. His status in the family was not low, but he had never heard that his family could still get along with him. Brother Jindan got involved.

For what Xu Youdan said, Zhang Shiping still only believed two or three percent, and the remaining seventy to eighty percent was vigilance.

Chapter 72

It stands to reason that a monk at the Golden Core stage who took the initiative to seek a relationship with an ordinary foundation-building monk like Zhang Shiping would be so happy that his heart would stop beating for any other monk. Doing it sweet dreams.

But the farther he walked on the road of cultivating immortals, the more Zhang Shiping understood the horror of high-ranking monks, and the fact that there will never be pies in the sky, and there will be no peerless medicines on the road, and there will be thousands of years of exotic flowers and plants.

With his aptitude for getting started with the Three Spirit Roots, although he practiced faster in the early stage, the head Chang and several other Golden Core monks in the sect knew about it, but these Golden Core monks didn't take it seriously.

The Qi training period is the beginning of the journey of cultivating immortality for the Jindan monks. In their view, there is actually no difference between the monks in the Qi training period and ordinary people.Only the monks in the foundation building period can give them a long-lived golden core monk to take a high look.

But now that Zhang Shiping has built his foundation, many outer disciples would respectfully address him as uncle or senior when he walked around Zhengyangzong, maybe those outer disciples in the Qi training period are still envious in their hearts.But he knew that he had to be honest in front of the Golden Core monks, and if he wanted to really communicate with the Golden Core monks, he had to at least make a fake core.

When Zhang Shiping was surprised, countless thoughts turned in his mind, and he thought a little too much for a while. When he turned his thoughts, he found that Xu Youdan was looking at him quietly.

Zhang Shiping thumped, he was so stupid for a while, and neglected Master Xu, he was afraid that this Golden Core cultivator would suddenly get angry.

Why the temper of high-ranking monks seems so weird to low-ranking monks, the most important point is probably the high-ranking monks' feeling of doing whatever they want, as the saying goes, with a sharp weapon in their hands, they will kill themselves.

Xu Youdan didn't have any displeasure on his face, it's a good thing for a cultivator to be cautious.In the world of cultivating immortals, people with carefree personalities generally don't live for too long. If their personalities are really like this, then unless that person rides the wind and waves all the way and has a successful cultivation base, he can protect himself.And if it is pretended, then it is inevitable that your shoes will get wet after walking on the shore for a long time.

He once observed Zhang Shiping, he is mature and cautious, this is his evaluation of Zhang Shiping, which is a good thing.It is normal for a cultivator to cherish one's body and one's life, but when encountering certain things, it is useless to say that it is useless to dare to fight. It depends on personal understanding, so he will not talk about it with Zhang Shiping.

After reacting, Zhang Shiping immediately lowered his eyebrows and answered yes. He knew that this uncle Xu called him here not just to tell him about the relationship between the two, but because he wanted to accept him as a disciple. Zhang Shiping's heart thumped. It is a great opportunity to be accepted as a disciple by a Jindan stage monk.

But when he saw Xu Youdan's eyes, there was no sorrow or joy in his eyes, and he could not see any thoughts in his heart. After Zhang Shiping saw it, for some reason, his heart suddenly calmed down.

……

After a stick of incense, Zhang Shiping left Uncle Xu's Wuxin Lake. Zhang Shiping, who drove the flying magic weapon, touched a brand new golden velvet storage bag in his arms. Of course, the most important thing was the treasure contained in it.

In fact, when Zhang Shiping knew the origins of the two parties, he still had a little hope in his heart that he could be accepted as a disciple by Uncle Xu, but Uncle Xu only talked about some past events and had no intention of accepting apprentices.

But Xu Youdan told Zhang Shiping that he will be a disciple of Wuxinhu's lineage in the future, and he can be regarded as a foundation-building monk under him, although there are hundreds of such foundation-building monks.

In the end, Xu Youdan gave Zhang Shiping the golden velvet storage bag, which was better than any other storage bag in Zhang Shiping's hands. The space inside was much larger, and of course the most important thing was the contents inside.

These are Master Uncle Xu's repayment of the Zhang family's kindness, with such good deeds, Zhang Shiping naturally would not refuse.

Zhang Shilong, the patriarch of the Zhang family, had the kindness to teach Master Xu and solve doubts, and he can be regarded as his enlightenment teacher on the road of cultivating immortals.And when Xu Youdan first established the foundation, Zhang Shilong had already passed away, and after he became a golden elixir, he also wanted to repay this kindness early, so as not to worry about it, but also to fulfill his own mind.

But in the past two hundred years, Xu Youdan also went to Zhang's house secretly, but no matter Zhang Qiyue, Zhang Huaiyu, or Zhang Tong'an, he didn't pay attention to him.In his opinion, these people don't say that they have achieved golden elixir, even in the late stage of foundation establishment, they are all conservative people.

……

A few days later, Zhang Shiping flew towards Yu State in a small boat. This ancient Qingling boat was much faster than the first-tier middle-grade flying magic weapon he used before, and it was indeed a second-tier spirit boat.

Zongmen Jindan monk led the Foundation Establishment monks to wipe out the Ten Thousand Blood Sect. Zhang Shiping originally thought that he would go straight to Huanglong, and there was a tough battle to be fought.

However, after Zhang Shiping and his party gathered in the sect, the two Jindan monks Ma Hua and Yun Qi took more than 35 foundation-building monks to the main hall of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect, while Zhang Shiping's [-] foundation-building monks flew to the secular people who had been investigated. Ming's Ten Thousand Blood Sect stronghold.

It seems that this time the sect not only wants to destroy the top management of the Ten Thousand Blood Cult, but also wants to destroy some strongholds of the Ten Thousand Blood Cult in the secular world.Zhang Shiping looked at the sky expressionlessly, and the ancient Qingling boat passed through layers of clouds and mist, and flew across the earth.

Zhang Shiping didn't know what he would encounter in a secular stronghold of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect, but it was like those twenty or so foundation-builder monks who followed the Golden Alchemy Master. They were going to the main hall of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect, maybe When the Jindan monks on both sides are fighting, they will encounter some unexpected situations.

Half a month later, Zhang Shiping landed on a hill outside Qingyuan City, Qingzhou, Yu State.

The whole territory of Gyeongju is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, extending in steps. There are many mountains and rivers in the territory, and the scenery is beautiful and charming.

However, in the territory, there are too many hilly areas and too few plains that can grow crops. There is a saying that nine parts of the land are landscapes and one part of the land.Fortunately, the Sishui Canal of Yu State passed through Qingyuan City in Qingzhou, so the transportation was convenient and the waterways extended in all directions. With such convenience, Qingyuan City gradually developed.

In Qingyuan City, in the Huaiyue River, the building boats docked on the river bank, the lights were dim, and the old boatman in gray cloth wore a bamboo hat and propped the boat away from the river bank with a long bamboo pole. The boat in the building was slowly moving in the river, and the maidservant in red and willow green entered the third floor with a plate of exquisite dishes.

There were a few older gentry sitting inside, and a woman in colorful clothes was holding a pipa in her arms in the corner of the room. The central protagonist, who looks like a feminine man in his early thirties, likes it very much.

The first person on the left hand side of the feminine man on the table is an old man in his 60s. He is Li Laoshangshu who retired from the Yu State and returned to his hometown. The helm of the family.

They looked at the dishes on the table, but only the feminine man picked up the dishes with his chopsticks. He took a sip, drank another glass of wine, closed his eyes and listened. When the song was over, the feminine man smiled, " I really deserve to be Master Yun, a piece of pipa is heartbroken, watch and appreciate it."

As soon as the voice of the feminine man on the table fell, a steward-looking servant standing beside him immediately took out the silver bill from his arms, and after giving it to Master Yun, he called the other people in the room to come out, and there were only a few of them left in a blink of an eye. One femininity man and five respectable men in the city.

The oldest old Shangshu said eagerly, "Master Immortal, this time there is the life-extending elixir." The old man's tone was filled with extreme longing.

The feminine man took out a bottle of elixir from his arms calmly, "Of course there are, and the price is the same as last time. Three pairs of boys and girls exchange for one elixir. I just don't know the boy and girl I asked you to prepare last time." How many virgins are there?"

"Master Immortal, please don't worry, there are just a few couples of boys and girls in the area. I have already prepared for a few people, and I will send them to the Temple of Longevity for you tomorrow." of greed.

Chapter 73

It has been 250 years since the founding of Yu State. Qingyuan City in Qingzhou experienced many wars at the beginning of the founding of the country, and then it was rebuilt many times.Nowadays, singing and dancing are on the rise, and Qingyuan City has more than doubled in size than it was more than 200 years ago.

Originally, the hill where Zhang Shiping was located was far away from Qingyuan City, and the mountain road was rugged, and the nearby villagers had to walk for two hours with their feet, but now from the east gate of Qingyuan City, there is a road that can The Loess Avenue, which accommodates four carriages in parallel, leads directly to the foot of the mountain. It was built by the three families of Zhao, Sun and Li in the city eight years ago. Building roads and bridges is the favorite thing of the Liangshan family. Building such a road will bring good fortune for decades. reputation.

But it is not easy to build such a road that is similar to the official road and is tens of miles long. First of all, the loess on the road is steamed in cages and then paved, so as to ensure that half of the road does not grow. Weeds, and then hammered and leveled, so that as long as there is no heavy rain that is rare in a century, the road will not be muddy.

Before dawn, a few veterans guarding the city, with some ruffian in their oily work, slowly closed the city gate. There were five carriages on the road outside the east gate of the city, rattling away towards the outside of the city. , Chen Dui, who was defending the city, was holding a blue cloth money bag in his forehand, and weighed it a few times in his hand. Several casually dressed soldiers next to him rushed over after closing the door.

Another impatient guy stretched out his hand, and he didn't know what he was muttering. Team Chen was reaching out and slapped a hand like a chicken paw, "Why is it so urgent, there are no rules."

The people next to him were old-timers, and the thin monkey who stretched out his hand was Chen Duizheng's brother-in-law, so he could be a little more reckless, but they wouldn't dare to do anything directly.Not to mention that the last yellow team lost his job, I heard that a few days later, he still carried his things and went to the official home of Chen team.

What's more, everyone in the Chen team is accepting errands, and they can drink a mouthful of soup even if they can't eat meat. Life is very enjoyable, much better than before under the squeezed Huang Laokou.

Team Chen opened the money bag in front of everyone, there was a large ingot of silver and more than a dozen pieces of silver in it, the torch shone over, the silver was shining, and the eyeballs of the onlookers were glued to it, Team Chen raised his forehand As soon as they were lifted, their eyeballs ran up, and when they were pressed down, their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

Everyone looked eagerly at Team Chen putting the big ingot of silver into his bosom and throwing the rest over, they immediately burst into laughter.

The thin monkey pressed two small pieces of silver into his belt, and leaned over to his fourth brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, tell me what is hidden in the car, it's so mysterious, and we won't let us take a look at it. "

Team Chen was patting the thin monkey, and said angrily, "Why do you care so much? You can't stop your mouth if you have money?"

"The money can block the upper one, but it all flows out from the bottom. Brother-in-law, please give me more." The thin monkey stretched out his hand with a smile. Last month, there was a girl like a dream in the Chunfeng Building, Cardamom Nianhua, but With the appearance of a phantom fox demon, Thin Monkey spent all his money on her, the taste of ecstasy, tsk tsk, his bones are crisp when he thinks about it, he swallows several mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously.

Chen Dui just ignored his brother-in-law. Some people's greed can't be filled. Even if a mountain is filled in this hole, there is no tip left.I was able to help him find this job because of my daughter-in-law's begging.

Chen Dui was turning around and leaving. It was so early today to open the door for these people. In this weather, if you don’t go home and hug your wife in bed, how can you go to Chunfeng Building to find a concubine? Chen Dui is shaking his head with a smile. His daughter-in-law just bought a new washboard a few days ago. Thinking of this, his knees hurt a little. Could it be that the weather is going to turn cold recently?

……

Zhang Shiping fell on a hill outside the city, and there was a Taoist temple built on the hillside, the Taoist temple was dark at night, only a few rooms were still lit, and the doorkeeper was drowsy.

Zhang Shiping performed the invisibility technique, and released several kinds of qi-retaining formulas, most of these formulas were found in the Buddhist scripture pavilion, and only one was the secret technique given to him by Master Xu.

On the way, while driving the Qingling ancient boat, Zhang Shiping practiced the secret technique called Feathering Technique on it. This secret technique is not too difficult. The door feathering technique has mastered a bit.

Zhang Shiping wandered around the Taoist temple expressionlessly, his spiritual consciousness kept sweeping everywhere, the main hall, the central hall, the backyard of the Taoist temple, even the humble woodshed, well, and deserted houses, he did not let go. place.

He kept his composure and checked all the Taoist temples, and his spiritual consciousness swept several feet deep into the ground.

It took half the night, Zhang Shiping saw that the sky was getting brighter, and then he disappeared.

In a dense forest outside the Taoist temple, in a phantom formation where a figure is hidden.Zhang Shiping already knew the truth, but he frowned. The information in the jade slip given to him by Zongmen Jindan said that there were five low-level qi-training monks here, and a suspected qi-training monk at the seventh level.

But Zhang Shiping turned around, and he only found five qi-training monks in the Taoist temple, none of which were above the fourth level of qi-training. There was also a monk who was suspected to be in the late stage of qi-training, but he didn't find any trace.

According to the information on the Jade Slips of the Zongmen, this cultivator at the seventh level of Qi training is an important figure in contact with the Ten Thousand Blood Sect's stronghold in Qingzhou, Yuguo. But their cultivation was low, and they didn't dare to follow this person directly, for fear of being found out and killing themselves, so up to now, Zhang Shiping still doesn't know where the Ten Thousand Blood Cult's stronghold is.

Zhang Shiping hasn't gone to the Zongmen Hall in Qingyuan City yet, but he still remembers the last time the Zongmen Hall was in Fengyi County, Qi State.Many immortal cultivators who have not made any progress in cultivation for more than ten years meet someone who can increase their mana and let him take another step forward on the road to longevity, even if it is just a little bit, who will care about good and evil at that time, as long as it is useful can.

In the early morning on the mountain, in front of Zhang Shiping's formation, there were a few small birds with gray-brown feathers perched on the branches of the tree, their wings fluttered, chirping, and jumping on the branches.

The distant mountain wind blew, and the leaves whirled and rustled. Zhang Shiping, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, moved his ears slightly. He still closed his eyes, but turned his head to listen to the sound in the wind.

But after he stood up, with a wave of his sleeves, the six blue flags stuck on the ground suddenly flew up, forming a straight line, and flew towards his palm one by one. Zhang Shiping poured a little mana into the storage bag and collected it six flags.

Zhang Shiping was walking through the forest, and within half a cup of tea, he arrived at the place where the sound came from. Instead of going out, he hid himself, restrained his breath, and watched the carriages in front of him driving on the mountain road.

The five carriages were all about the same size. In the front of the carriage sat a middle-aged man who looked like a butler in a green gown and a black round cap. A man next to him was waving a whip. There was a hollow sound in the air, "drive, drive."

Zhang Shiping squinted his eyes and looked at the carriages in front of him. The five drivers were not ordinary people.Although he was quite far away from these carriages, with the assistance of the Celestial Eye Technique, Zhang Shiping saw that the five coachmen were all powerful, with strong hands and feet, and powerful swings, and their temples on both sides were even more bulging. In the secular arena, he is a first-class master.

There are not many people in the secular world who can make these people willing to be coachmen. Zhang Shiping stroked his beard. Among these people, he was most interested in the man who looked like a housekeeper.

Under Zhang Shiping's Heaven's Eye technique, one can clearly see the faint aura on that person's body. This person is an immortal cultivator with a cultivation base of the sixth level of Qi training. Zhang Shiping wondered if this is the suspected late Qi training monk.

After all, the disciples at the entrance of the Zongmen's gate in Yuancheng during Yu Guoqing, at most, were only at the fifth level of Qi training, so it was inevitable that they would misjudge the opponent's cultivation level.

No matter how fast the carriage is, Zhang Shiping hangs behind without haste, watching these carriages passing a forked mountain road, and after turning left, the only one going up that mountain road is the Taoist temple that Zhang Shiping inspected last night Now, Zhang Shiping became more certain about his speculation in his heart.

Chapter 74 Follow

The mountain road leading to the Taoist temple is more inclined than before, and the driver slowed down with a 'wow' sound.

The Temple of Longevity in the Mountain has been built for more than a hundred years. Its scale is among the largest in Gyeongju, covering an area of ​​tens of acres. Mu, and of course there are several fields under the mountain.

Otherwise, according to Zhang Shiping's investigation speed, he would not have spent most of the night searching all over the Taoist temple last night.

……

Halfway up the mountain, there are continuous houses, and inside the Taoist temple, the light smoke of incense has risen up, and an old man in a washed white robe pushed the door out.

Lin Bo, the gatekeeper, opened the gate of the Taoist temple early. He first boiled a copper pot of well water and put it on a small red stove.

"Limber."

"Limber."

A dozen or so people walked towards the door with big strides, and several of them greeted Lin Bo.This Lin Bo replied with a "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh",' he seemed to be a mute.

He has been doing errands in the Taoist temple for decades, and since the previous old temple master died, Lin Bo, the new temple master who succeeded him, felt something was wrong.

The dozen or so people who went out just now are all the confidantes of the new temple master. They wore dark blue Taoist robes and said they were Taoist priests, but Lin Bo shook his head. A water and land dojo or something.

But it has nothing to do with him, he is just a janitor, Lin Bo stared at the ground with half-drawn eyelids, the curly yellow and black fallen leaves on the slate, dead beetles, and ants that had come out early to feed, Lining up in a long queue, his hand, which was like dead bark, held a bamboo broom, and with one sweep, this small world was suddenly turned upside down.

The dozen or so people left the Taoist temple and got together with the carriage.

Zhang Shiping followed the pedestrian.After a cup of tea, the five carriages did not stop at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and they walked for a while until the mountain road was too steep for the carriages to go up, so they stopped.

The chariots and horses shouted: "Here we are."

The qi cultivator in green clothes and black round hat and the driver got out of the car.

Zhang Shiping stared blankly ahead, watching the ten or so men with fierce faces coming out of the Taoist temple and these grooms driving the carriages, pressing down the people who came down one after another from the carriages. Waist-high kids to adults.

The virgins and virgins who got out of the five carriages, timidly, were driven by those people into the woods one after another.

Some of these children were abducted by human traffickers, and some of them were sold because the family could not get rid of it.If you don't sell one, the whole family will starve to death. After selling, the whole family can survive for a while.

Xu San was in such a situation. His grandfather was sick at home, and he couldn't help it. The village landlord, Old Man Zheng, heard the news and immediately sent someone over to lend Xu San's family four or two or three dollars of medicine money. Sanjia's [-]% of an acre of fine paddy fields was used as mortgage.

The originally agreed time was to pay back the money after the autumn harvest, but that year happened to be plagued by locusts and there was no harvest.

Not to mention that no one was saved, the paddy field of the Xu family's one-acre farmland seemed to be lost.
