longevity road trip

"Two hours ago, my family's uncle, Qingyu and other fellow Taoists sent a message back. Kunkui and Ao Xuan are now on Nanming Island, but Pengyang, Ye Qi, and Suanzhu have not yet appeared, so we don't know their whereabouts. As for Hai The other demon kings of the tribe are leading many low-level sea beasts to snatch the [-]-mile sea area that we occupied more than [-] years ago. They are worried that if the five demon monks bring many Nascent Souls and golden core demons to attack and protect The Great City Formation might be in danger of being overthrown, so I sent a special summons to ask whether Nanming Island can really be abandoned when things cannot be done."

"Du Yu and I have already said that once they arrive at Nanming Island, they will not go out of the city to fight, and they will guard against the little ones inside. In this way, even monks from the Yaozu, Haizu and other monks will be able to hold on for a while. It's enough for us to help. As for Peng Yang, he just showed up here not long ago. Judging from his speech and behavior, the Kun and Peng clans should not have completely fallen for the Hai clan. But everything in the world has an accident, Nan Ming Although the island is one of the most important islands of our five sects against Cangguyang, the case of losing the land and people cannot be opened. You can go back later and tell them that when you retreat, you would rather destroy Nanming Island than leave it in the sea. Clan." Yu Rui said slowly.

Then he looked at Du Yu and asked, "What do you think?"

"What we are fighting for is not actually the fire of the false spirit. Perhaps if we can force the three tribes of Jiaolong, Xuangui, and Kui Niu to travel far into the ancient ocean and deep sea, it will be more beneficial to the future situation in Nanzhou. As long as Qingyu and the others can persist Stay for a while, and then we can teleport to Nanming Island, it's okay." Du Yu replied.

Zhang Shiping on the side heard what the two said, how could he not understand what the other party meant?

He thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "There are still three or five years before the birth of the spirit fire. Presumably, the Sea Clan has sent spies around here, so they should not do anything at this moment. But now the northern border and the western desert The power is lurking, whether we want to take this opportunity to strangle the Sea Clan again, or fight for the spirit fire, this point must be clarified first, lest Shuiyueyuan and Xuanming Palace disagree!"

"On this matter, Yu Rui and I will naturally communicate." Du Yu said.

But as soon as his words fell, everyone couldn't help looking into the distance.

Yu Rui smiled and said: "Look, aren't Yu Heng and Ming Lin here?"

"It's a pity that Luo Shan hasn't arrived. It seems that he wants to clean up the Red Moon Tower. It seems that his decision to clean up the Red Moon Tower is a foregone conclusion. All your fellow Taoists over there have already withdrawn, so don't let Chi Yu get hurt." Zhang Shiping said indifferently Looking at the two fellow Taoists of Bixiao Palace.

"Where's the manpower you put in there?" Yu Rui laughed.

"There is a difference in people's hearts. This person is half out of control. Now Xuan Yu's whereabouts are unknown. If Luo Shan makes a move and meets Xuan Yu, it will not end well!" Du Yu said calmly .

"Our four sects ensure that when Luo Shan takes action against Hongyue Tower, other forces will not participate in it. This can be regarded as doing our best." Bai Yuheng suddenly appeared in the bamboo building.Said lightly.

"Then what if Xuan Yu becomes Huashen, this person is not as pure as Hongyue, he can be bullied!" Ming Lin stepped into the bamboo building half a step late.

And behind the two of them, each followed a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

"If he becomes a God of Transformation, if Luo Shan really wants to activate the Seven Flame Spirit Fan, he will naturally be able to deal with it. However, if Luo Shan wants to keep Misty Valley's confidence, then we will help each other out of the love of our ancestors." Second, it is also human nature." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

If that moment really comes, Misty Valley must be preserved.The prestige of the five sects cannot be destroyed, this is one of them, and if Misty Valley fights against the Red Moon Tower, then this move is more suitable for the other four sects to retain their strength.

"What do you think of Shi Heng's words?" Ming Lin asked.

Du Yu, Yu Rui, and Bai Yuheng nodded slightly, as if they agreed with this plan.

"That's good. I owed Yi Yu a favor 600 years ago. Now Luo Shan asked me to ask you how your attitude is? It seems that today's ending is not bad, so I will pass the news to you." Pass it on." Ming Lin said frankly,

"Didn't you say it earlier? In this way, Luo Shan will gain the advantage of being a fisherman for nothing." Du Yu shook his head lightly, and said in a regretful tone.

"As long as Misty Valley can involve Hongyue Tower, then everything can be turned around." Yu Rui laughed.

This kind of thing, they can't understand it all too well,

……

……

And when Nanzhou Du Yu and others were discussing about the two matters of Linghuo and Misty Valley,

In a small courtyard of a mortal city five or six hundred miles away, among the many demon cultivators in Northern Xinjiang who have already taken human form, they are sitting cross-legged. At first glance, they all look like immortals.

Among them, the Jinlin Yaojun looked at an old man in deep clothes and said, "Has your Kunpeng clan really cooperated with the Hai clan? According to the news from the spies, several great monks from the Sea clan and the Yao clan have arrived. Nanming Island."

Chapter 957 Awareness

Hearing the question from Jinlin Yaojun, Peng Yang frowned slightly and said: "It shouldn't be like this. I still need to go to Nanming Island to ask about this matter in person before I can give you a clear answer."

After finishing speaking, it stood up and cupped its hands, then rose against the wind, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared into the sky.

The Golden Scale Demon Lord didn't want to stay, until after a quarter of an hour, it nodded slightly to Miaofa and Yin Luosha as a signal.

"The relationship between the Peng and Kun clans and the Hai clan is not so harmonious. It is absolutely impossible for them to provoke Wuzong for no reason. It seems that Ao Xuan has offered something good that Kunkui cannot refuse." Slightly opened, said softly.

"That should be the case. Right now, the only ones who can make Kunkui do anything at all are the remaining Qingluan and Shangfu Lingling. In the past, Kunzhang was willing to be the mount of Venerable Xiao for the sake of Suzaku Ling, but now Kunkui is acting like this That's all right! I just don't know if the story of the boundary-breaking talisman is true or not?" The Jinlin Yaojun laughed.

"It's impossible to know if it's true or not, but the main peak in the Nine Birds Secret Realm has been sealed for more than [-] years, and there must be a great opportunity. Now, apart from the three sides in Peng Kun's hands, the Nine Birds Token is in the hands of us and Xuanyuanzong. They also have two sides, but I don't know how much Ao Xuan has? I have reported this matter to my uncle, and everything will be decided by him." Miao Fa said slowly.

"Uncle Master has made a breakthrough now?" Jinlin Yaojun asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Yin Luosha at the side glanced at Jin Lin, and said with a smile: "Although you come from the Hualong Pond in the temple, you have already established yourself outside. Now that you have asked so many questions, do you want to return to the temple?"

"Everyone knows that Hualongling is under the command of the White Horse Temple, so why talk about returning to it? Isn't it superfluous?" Jinlin Yaojun said in a flat tone, not paying attention to Yin Luosha.

The reason why it took the mission and went out to hit Hualong Ridge was partly because the four venerables before the White Horse Temple sheltered Yin Luosha.

"Okay, both of you should be more peaceful. I don't know if the uncle has made a breakthrough. But it should be soon, maybe it only takes a chance and it will come to fruition!" Miaofa said.

On the other side, when Bai Yuheng, Ming Linzheng, Du Yu and the others talked about the Nine Bird Order, their meaning could not be more clear.

They also want a piece of the action.

Yu Rui remained on the ground without saying a word. He has been in charge of Bixiao Palace for three to four hundred years, and he has long planned to let go.

What's more, the boundary-breaking talisman mentioned by Peng Yang earlier touched his heartstrings even more.It's just that the Nine Bird Order is in the hands of Xuanyuanzong, so he can't say it clearly.

At this moment, Bai Yuheng and Ming Lin just took the opportunity to test Du Yu's tone. If he could, he would win a chance no matter how much he paid.

It's just that Du Yu didn't give a clear answer to everyone, but changed the topic and talked about the false spiritual fire, obviously wanting to delay the matter until later.

Seeing this, although the three of them didn't ask any more questions, they didn't stop thinking about it either.

After all, the matter of spiritual fire is still the most important right now, and this is not a good time for them to fight among themselves.

After the matter was discussed, Yu Rui and the others left separately, chose a nearby place to stay, and set up a spirit detention formation, waiting for the moment when the false spirit fire was born.

After everyone left, Du Yu looked at Zhang Shiping, chuckled lightly, and said via voice transmission:

"The few of them have now set their minds on the Nine Birds Token. You guys are still so calm. This Golden Crow Token belongs to you. You really don't worry at all. Could it be that you still have the Nine Birds Token? "

"Now you are the master of the sect, so what's the use of worrying? What do you want me to say in front of them, does it make sense?" Zhang Shiping responded through voice transmission without haste.

"Sure enough, it's in your hands! The Zhengyang sect still pays Shibi..." Du Yu's tone was a little more certain this time.

"With so much talk, can't you just pretend you don't know, and insist on getting to the bottom of it?" Zhang Shiping said angrily.

It has been more than [-] years since he obtained the Shangfu order in Yanggu of Zhengyangzong, so that the huge Shangfu stone wall disappeared without a trace.

Although Ziyun and others in the Zhengyang Sect respected the will, she simply used the grounds of retreat to practice and designated this place as a forbidden area of ​​the cave, and did not allow other monks of the sect to enter, so she concealed it.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. After such a long time, Du Yu has already noticed something, and sent someone to investigate Zhengyangzong, and then traced him in a desperate manner.

"Uncle Master is really right. You are a person with a great opportunity, and you will definitely benefit a lot from following you. The Kun and Peng clans, and the White Horse Temple have worked so hard to collect only five faces after so many years. , How long has it been since you lost the Golden Crow Token, and you will be able to pay the Ordinance again!" Du Yu sighed.

"Since Ao Xuan can let Kunkui go to Nanming Island with him, Qingluan Ling is very likely to be there. One of us has just broken through the late stage, and the other is still in the middle stage. It is not a good time to enter the Nine Birds Secret Realm. You But don't be overwhelmed by the pressure, take out the two-sided token in your hand. If seven or eight tokens get together at that time, then this side in my hand will not be able to hide it. We will have to delay it for at least another 500 years , as long as it can be delayed until then, when Bi Fang's aura is conceived and formed, then I will get his Yin Wood Spiritual Essence, and my cultivation level is still at the next level, and the Nine Birds Mystery Realm and the party can be a little more sure." Zhang Shiping said.

"I'm afraid it won't last as long as three to five hundred years, at most it will be more than two hundred years. Zhengyangzong can't hide it for that long!" Du Yu said shaking his head.

He already knew that Ziyun Daoist of Zhengyang Zong is now over 530 years old, and there are still more than two hundred years before the deadline, so he said this.

"I'll just deal with this matter, otherwise it's right to pretend I don't know." Zhang Shiping said.

"Then I'll leave it to you, and I won't ask any more questions, otherwise, if it falls into the eyes of someone who cares, it will be a little more likely to be exposed." Du Yu nodded and said.

After finishing speaking, the two of them stopped talking about the matter and closed their eyes to rest their minds.

……

……

After another month or so, a ray of sword light galloped over Wanjian Peak.

As soon as the brilliance faded, an extremely heroic female cultivator in Tsing Yi stood in the air.

And in the cave on the hillside of Wanjian Peak, Gu Zhang was holding a jade slip brought back from the seaside by the Zongmen Jindan cultivator in his hand, with a pensive look on his face.

When Jiang Ruoliu flew to him, he felt the mana breath of the Nascent Soul stage of the other party, and he couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and then his figure flickered, and he appeared outside the stone gate of the cave.

"Congratulations to Jiang Daoyou on the birth of a baby. Why didn't you tell me such good news in advance? The old man should prepare a good gift to celebrate earlier." Gu Zhang said with a voice transmission.

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew towards Jiang Ruoliu.

But after a while, the two of them looked at each other with a distance of more than ten zhang.

Jiang Ruoliu looked at Gu Zhang for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, Gu Zhang smiled lightly, and invited: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Jiang has something important to discuss today, so go down and sit down, so that I, the landlord, can entertain you a bit."

"Then thank you, Senior Brother Gu." Jiang Ruoliu said.

Hearing this, Gu Zhang, who was just about to turn around, paused for a moment, then laughed loudly, and flew towards a nearby ancient stone pavilion in the mountains, followed by Jiang Ruoliu.

Not long after, the two entered the pavilion.

Chapter 958

Pavilion.

With his back to Jiang Ruoliu, Gu Zhang looked at the mountains and clouds in the distance, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, he did not make a move in the end. After suppressing all the killing intent in his eyes, he turned around and said with a sigh: "Since you call me senior brother, it seems that you should have seen the master in the secret realm I left a message, would my junior sister be willing to come back?"

"If I come back, will senior brother really give up Jianzang?" Jiang Ruoliu said in a flat tone.

"I must obey my master's order, and I dare not regret it. With the qualifications of my junior sister Cangyuan sword body, if I wield Jiancang, I will be able to reproduce the prestige of the ancestor of the Wanjian master. But now many Taoists are fighting for the fire of the false spirit. Gather in Nanzhou Resentment Fire Sha Valley, junior sister, give me a few more years, otherwise such a great opportunity, senior brother is not qualified to participate in it." Gu Zhang said earnestly with a serious expression on his face.

Jiang Ruoliu looked at Gu Zhang for a moment, then shook his head at last, and said with a light smile, "The battle of the spirit fire is very dangerous, I hope that senior brother should be careful."

"Is it possible that Yunquan and Yuanhui didn't have this idea?" Gu Zhang asked.

"Naturally, they also thought about it. It's just that Xuanyuanzong saw through the strange beast Mengji lurking decades ago, and generously divided the land of the Jiusha Temple among the eight factions among us, and gave a sweet jujube with one stick. , the implication could not be more obvious. If you are still not satisfied and insist on participating, then it is not like they have not done the work of settling accounts after autumn." Jiang Ruoliu said without haste.

"That's true, that junior sister came here, apart from revealing her identity, she really has nothing else to do? If she doesn't say it this time, then the senior brother will pretend that she doesn't know." Gu Zhang laughed.

"Since the senior brother insists on knowing, then the junior sister can just say it. It's nothing more than the two Taoist friends Xu and Bi want me to pass on a message. I can't shirk it here. I can only come to your place for a while and let it go. "Jiang Ruoliu said unhurriedly.

"Junior Sister, just say what's the matter." Gu Zhang raised his hand to signal.

"They want to ask if the senior brother intends to form an alliance, and I'm as close as we are, so we can help each other." Jiang Ruoliu said disapprovingly, obviously she didn't think it would be possible.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Gu Zhang shook his head and smiled and said, "Those two guys are getting more and more confused as they get older. If we were to form an alliance, who would be the leader? If I let them go east, would they really not go west? "

It's just that when he said this, his tone suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and then asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that Xuan Yu is taking the lead in this matter? Hongyuelou wants to use the joint efforts of us and other factions to divide the matter with the five sects." court fight?"

"It's Hongyue Tower, but it's not Xuan Yu. They don't want to give up such a spiritual place as Piaomiao City, so they want to unite with us and other factions to put some pressure on the five sects, so that they don't dare to act recklessly." Jiang Ruo Flow said softly.

"Then what do you Nine Sects mean?" Gu Zhang asked.

"Now there are only eight left, and the Huanyin Sect has survived in name only," Jiang Ruoliu said.

"Have you attacked Fellow Daoist Xu?" Although Gu Zhang said so, there was no surprise on his face.

After Huayin Zhenjun, the previous head of the Huanyin Sect, passed away, the new infant-forming monk in the sect was named Xu Lan, and he only broke through dangerously and dangerously when he was over seven hundred years old.

Now that nearly 300 years have passed, this person is only a monk who consolidated the initial stage of the Nascent Soul, and has not made any further progress.

"Huayin destroyed my Jiang family, so since Xu Lan has become the patriarch of the Huanyin Sect, he naturally has to inherit the cause and effect. But this matter is still thanks to the help of Xu and the two fellow Taoists, otherwise the strength of the younger sister can be done alone. No." Jiang Ruoliu said slowly.

Hearing this, Gu Zhang sighed and said: "You know that Huayin used to serve the master! This matter about your Jiang family... Sigh!"

"Brother, you don't have to sigh. My sister already knew the reason, and my master has already explained everything clearly. In five or six hundred years, everything has passed." Jiang Ruoliu glanced at Gu Zhang, and then said with a low eyebrow.

"In fact, Master once wanted to do it himself, but when things came to an end, he couldn't bear it. It's just that when Huayin took revenge on Jiang's family for the death of Zongmen Jindan, he just went along with it." Gu Zhang said slowly. Said.

"Why?" Jiang Ruoliu asked calmly.

Gu Zhang smiled wryly, and said, "Junior Sister, what do you think is the method of enlightening emptiness and transforming gods?"

"When one thought moves the heart, everything is obsessed." Jiang Ruoliu thought for a moment, then said hesitantly.

"But I said that it was just a thought, and there was nothing to do. It is not easy for us to follow the rules and practice step by step, let alone realize the void in advance with the Nascent Soul, and feed back the cultivation with the soul? This is no different from reaching the sky in one step. What you gain will be lost, and you will become a god with obsession, but in the end you will lose your true nature. People like Venerable Hongyue, who became here and died here. Since this method appeared in the world, I don’t know how many ancestors want to get rid of it. However, after thousands of years of groping, it is also possible Not without gains! If some means are used to advance this technique to the Golden Core level, as long as the other party can understand and enlighten and let go of their obsessions, the future troubles can be alleviated a little." Gu Zhang said.

This is the thing that can make people obsessed the most. It is nothing more than the eight sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death, love and parting, long-term resentment, not being able to ask, and not being able to let go.

"That's true, but this kind of thing is really ridiculous and sad." Jiang Ruoliu nodded and said, his expression still unchanged.

"Who says it's not? The small world is like this, so what can we and other monks do, but they are all scumbags, trying to survive on their own." Gu Zhang sighed.

He has practiced to the realm of the Nascent Soul, and he has enjoyed a long life, and he does not want to sit and wait for death.

When Jiang Ruoliu heard this, how could he not understand the other party's thoughts, and immediately said: "Then I hope that senior brother can be that fisherman and win the opportunity of spirit fire under the hands of many monks."

"Thank you for your understanding, junior sister. After this matter is over, senior brother will definitely present the sword hidden, and there will be no further delay." Gu Zhang then clasped his hands and said with joy.

"Then junior sister will go back to Ming Xinzong first, lest they wait in a hurry." After Jiang Ruoliu finished speaking, he cupped his hands in return.

Then she walked out of the pavilion, soared into the sky, and the aura around her body glowed, turning into a radiant sword energy, and galloped away towards the distance.

Gu Zhang watched him go away.

After a while, his face turned red, and he coughed lightly with his hands over his mouth, a trace of blood spilled between his fingers.

After the backlash from the prohibition slowed down a bit, Gu Zhang frowned and said:
