longevity road trip

The city gate is in the shape of a semicircular arch, and two extremely strange characters are embedded in the tall plaque.

This type of writing is neither ancient nor present, but as long as someone reads it, they can understand its meaning. The two characters are called 'Sen Luo'.

As for the city walls on both sides, most of them have collapsed, revealing large and small gaps.

Chapter 831

In front of the city gate, Du Yu's five people let go of their hands, and then they squeezed the same formula without haste. Their movements were exactly the same, in no particular order, and matched with a very strange pronunciation that they said lightly. language.

Zhang Shiping listened carefully. In the past 400 years, he has mastered or roughly learned 67 kinds of ancient Chinese, but after confirming them one by one in his heart, he found that none of them had the same or even similar pronunciation. With a cry:

"It's true that there are thousands of years in the world, and there are many kinds of knowledge. I don't know which ancient language Du Yu and the others are reading that was lost in which era? But if this place is really a hell, then this ancient language should probably have something to do with it."

Before he could lose his thoughts, clouds of black mist suddenly gushed out from the ground in front of Du Yu's five people, covering the white leather lamp together, turning it into a piece of pale human skin, floating thousands of feet above the city wall Only one end was settled.

Gradually, there were a few whining sounds, like the cry of a sad ape, coming from the depths of the ruins of Senluo City, from far to near.

Immediately afterwards, there was a palpitating breath.

Just as Zhang Shiping looked along the direction of this aura, he saw a huge snake shadow slowly emerging from the depths of the ruins.

The city wall here is a thousand feet long, but it is not half as high as this giant snake.

I saw the giant snake screaming, spouting a gray light towards the sky, suddenly falling from the sky, and pouring it into the human skin, the skin swelled without wind, and immediately swelled up.

With a bang, the tall giant with the gray snake on his shoulders fell straight down from the air, splashing dust everywhere.

"Please trouble Granny Snake to get out the book of death." The crowd said, clasping their hands.

The giant was speechless, his white eyes scanned the five Zong Yuanying back and forth, and finally his eyes fell on Tai Shuguang and Zhongli. The gray snake on his shoulder suddenly turned into a black light, opened his mouth and sucked it, and shot Clouds of gray gas came out.

"Where did you get this weird aura?" Gray Snake asked in a sharp voice.

The two hesitated, "This..."

Seeing this, Gray Snake laughed and said, "Is it the old story of Menghai and Yinyu in the past 3000 years? I have already said that this kind of yin and yin law cannot be contaminated by your strangers. It is unknown. It was Misty Valley before." , and now it has been replaced by Xuanyuanzong, you don't give up."

Then its eyes fell on Du Yu, and it looked at it for a few times, as if it was looking at the food.

Du Yu stretched out his hand and turned it over, and the Mingyu Xuanguang mirror was in his hand, emitting a hazy blue aura.

"It seems that you are the leader of Xuanyuanzong after Qinghe, you can take care of this matter yourself." Gray Snake smiled, and glanced at the other four leaders including Luo Shan in the front.

"Grandma Snake was joking," Du Yu said.

"This time, there are only six people who have sworn oaths in the book of the dead. The five sects are not as good as one generation after another. I don't know how long you can persist with the accumulation of more than [-]. The end is the beginning. It is a foregone conclusion that the small world will fade away, so why bother to make unnecessary struggles?" Granny Snake laughed.

As soon as it finished speaking, it turned its head, and the tall giant like a puppet roared in its mouth, and thrust its hands towards the land of Jiaowo.

Amid the shaking, a hill more than a hundred feet high suddenly rose in front of the giant.

As soon as this mountain appeared, Luo Shan, Du Yu and more than [-] Nascent Soul cultivators who had already registered their names in the book of death flickered around the stone mountain, each occupying a corner, and then urged their own mana to move towards it without reservation. Pour away.

With the infusion of the mana of more than twenty Nascent Soul True Monarchs, the earth and rocks on the rocky mountain were continuously turned into black gas, and their body size was also shrinking.

It's just that when the rocky mountain shrank to forty or fifty feet, the monks in the early stage of Yuanying among the five sects were already unable to catch up, and their breath was constantly weakening, but they didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiping wiped the jade storage belt around his waist, took out a few Qingyuan pills that are very beneficial to mana, and sent them to Tai Shuguang, Zhongli, and Tianfeng each with a flick of his fingers.

And Yi Xuedan, Bai Yuheng, Yu Wenfei, Chu Yu, and Li Changgeng also took out elixir, and sent one each to their own Nascent Soul monks who were weak in mana.

After half a stick of incense, Du Yu, Luo Shan and other monks in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul were also depleted of mana.

Zhang Shiping and the other six did the same thing. After repeating several times, the hundred-foot-high stone mountain finally shrunk down to a five-foot-high stone platform.

And on the stone platform, there is a scroll, which is glowing red and bloody.

"Come forward, separate the soul and the blood essence and write them in the tome." The snake mother slid off the giant's shoulders and went up around the stone platform, spreading the tome with a hook of the snake's tail.

Hearing this, Zhang Shiping and six people immediately stepped forward, stretched out their hands, forced out a drop of blood like lead and mercury, and separated a wisp of soul, after the two merged, it dripped on the scroll.

Zhang Shiping looked at the drop of blood on his fingertip, after it landed on the scroll, there was a flash of light, it turned into his name, and then disappeared without a trace, at the same time, a sense of clarity arose in his heart.

That was the feeling that once he took action against another person who was also named in the book of the dead, he would definitely encounter accidents.

"Okay, the dead cannot be lived by the living for a long time, so you go away quickly." Granny Snake gathered the scroll and said in a low voice.

"Please trouble Granny Snake." Everyone bowed their hands again.

"Even the stone mountain can't be melted this time. I hope you will grow better next time. You don't even have half a late-stage monk." As soon as the snake mother finished speaking, she circled down from the stone platform and wrapped herself around the giant's shoulders again. Up, and then jumped towards the sky, turned into a gray shadow, and went towards the giant snake in the distance.

The giant also turned into a piece of human skin, and then turned into five white lanterns.

The stone platform then sank slowly into the ground.

"Let's go, from now on I'll be the same as Qi Lianzhi. Although there are five sects, they are actually one." Luo Shan said.

When Zhang Shiping heard these words, he didn't respond aloud, after all, these words were just to deceive the inexperienced juniors.

If the five sects were really one, they wouldn't be plotting against each other.

It's just that with the oath of the Book of Darkness, these calculations will not directly turn into a life-and-death fight in the end, allowing other forces to take advantage of it.

……

……

More than ten days later, the monks of the five sects reappeared on the top of Panchong Mountain, chatted for a while, and said goodbye to each other.

The four of Misty Valley headed towards Piaomiao City alone, while Xuanyuanzong and Bixiao Palace went together, and Shuiyueyuan and Xuanming Palace went to Mingyue City.

In the middle of the journey, Yu Wenfei asked: "Fellow Daoist Shiheng, I don't know when your lower spirit beast will pass the catastrophe?"

"I don't know about that, let's see how Jiang seems to prepare." Zhang Shiping said.

"That concubine will wait for the good news." Yu Wenfei replied.

Chapter 832 The Fate of Master and Servant

"Thank you, fellow daoist Ji Yan. But my mount has always been naughty, that is, I have been pressing it all these years to calm down and practice, otherwise I don't know when I want to conceive a baby." Zhang Shiping couldn't help but laughed.

After all, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, there is such a big monster who is almost incarnate under his seat, and it is a very face-saving thing to say.

Moreover, after nearly a hundred years of getting along with each other, Jiang Ru's resistance gradually weakened, and he recognized his identity as a mount.

This beast control has never been something that can be done once and for all simply by relying on external forces such as blood deeds, it must be soft and just right.

Of course, those insect cultivators in ancient times were an exception. Insects were the most difficult creatures to open up their intelligence besides earth, rocks, plants and trees.

Therefore, most of the Chongxiu forcibly signed blood contracts with those strange insects, and then sent them as envoys, just like he had raised the phantom locust for hundreds of years.

Even now, after the phantom ghost locust has formed a pill, its spiritual intelligence is only equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old child, ignorant and ignorant, and because this insect is cultivated by the method of raising Gu, its viciousness is even stronger.

Another point, Zhang Shiping has seen several famous insect cultivators in ancient times, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit insects in one shot. Don't wait and run away.

The difference between insects and other monsters is that if there are only dozens of them, they are not very useful.But once the scale is formed and the swarms gather, some supernatural powers will be derived.

Like locusts in the secular world, if there are only dozens of them, chickens and ducks can be eaten.But if there is a plague of locusts, most of these locusts will be poisonous, and they will die easily if they eat them.

Ordinary insects are still like this, but once they are replaced by the spirit insects listed in the "Book of Insects", the derived magical powers will definitely make other monks more troublesome.

When Zhang Shiping was cultivating at Jindan, he also thought about cultivating a large number of phantom locusts as a means of suppressing the bottom of the box.It's just that after he calculated the accounts, he didn't have a headache.

At the beginning, he invested about 300 million spirit stones in the phantom locusts one after another, and the number of first-order phantom locusts cultivated was quite a lot, but there were only a hundred or so of them that could reach the second level.

As for the 300 million spirit stones, most of them were managed by the Zhang family.The reason why high-level monks like to build a family is to protect their clansmen on the one hand, and more importantly, because these low-level monks with some blood connections can serve them and earn spiritual stones for practice, so that they will not waste themselves by doing it themselves. The time of practice.

In the end, these spirit insects devoured each other, and the third-level Phantom Locust was lucky enough to emerge.

And the spirit insects that can come in handy when the Nascent Soul cultivators fight each other must be second-level cultivation at least, and the scale must be tens of thousands in order to derive some supernatural powers.

Otherwise, the Nascent Soul cultivator does not need to use any corresponding restraint methods. He only needs to use some ordinary spells or activate the spirit treasure, and he can easily disperse and kill most of the spirit insects.

However, if you want to cultivate phantom locusts to the second level of cultivation, the scale is tens of thousands, and there are many kinds of spiritual things that are needed. For Nascent Soul monks, that is also a huge expense.Even if it is cultivated on a large scale, the cost of spiritual objects required can be reduced a lot, but even if it is less, it will still have to be around [-] high-grade spiritual stones.

The Lingshi vein on Liyuan Island that Zhang Shiping owns now produces only about 30 high-grade spirit stones a year.Even if he doesn't use the [-] spirit stones for his cultivation, he will have to store them for [-] to [-] years.

If he sees a golden elixir loose cultivator following the worm cultivator, and a swarm of worms will cover the sky as soon as he strikes, he must plan secretly to seize his opportunity.

After all, casual cultivators who can have such means must be blessed with great opportunities, whether they come from the remains of those ancient monks' caves, or part or even all of the net worth of those Nascent Soul old monsters who have already passed away. I am afraid that there is no true monarch who will not be moved.

……

……

Half a month later, Xuan Yuanzong and his party from Bixiao Palace returned to Yuanxiao City.

Zhang Shiping bid farewell to the crowd and headed towards the White Ape Palace.

After returning to the palace, with a glance of his spiritual sense, he knew that Jiang Si and Bai Qizheng were practicing in a side hall, so he sent a sound transmission jade slip and did not bother him any more.

In fact, Jiang Si's blood of the four different phases in his body is not weak, but because he has been wandering in the world of cultivating immortals all year round and has never practiced stably, his realm has slowed down.

Monster beasts with purer ancient bloodlines usually have a longer lifespan than those of the same realm.

According to what Jiang Si said, it has been practicing for more than [-] years. It originally lived in an inconspicuous spiritual mountain in the desert of Nanzhou. It happened to eat a hundred-year-old ginseng. The spiritual object, Yelian Yuehua, has been so muddled for nearly a hundred years, and finally set foot in the foundation building realm.

Without the help of his own monks, he was lucky enough to awaken the inheritance in his blood. So far, his mind has been greatly enlightened, and his practice has greatly improved in the years in the mountains.

However, when it was more than 150 years old, it was discovered by several tribal monks in the foundation period in the desert, and its traces were exposed.

Fortunately, it realized something was wrong and pretended to be ignorant, which caused the Foundation Establishment cultivators to relax their vigilance, killed two with all their strength, broke through the encirclement, and then fled from the mountain immediately.

Since then, it has been wandering all over Nanzhou all the way, wandering indefinitely.

Or maybe it was the sight of blood that aroused the ferocity. Jiang seemed to no longer be limited to breathing and practice, but began to learn to hunt and kill other monsters or single monks. His cultivation was also increasing day by day, and his mind became more and more flexible.

When it was close to forming the alchemy, it realized that if it caused the catastrophe in Nanzhou, it might attract the golden core and even the Nascent Soul monster from the human race, so it traveled overseas.

But overseas is not a safe place either, it finally survived the catastrophe and stabilized its practice, but it was coveted by other big monsters, after several life-and-death fights, it didn't get much benefit, but suffered injuries all over.

More importantly, during the more than a hundred years of fighting and fighting as the Great Demon Empress, it didn't have much time to practice with peace of mind, and its cultivation also stopped at the initial stage.It wasn't until he gained some prestige overseas that this kind of life stopped.

In the next 400 years, it practiced to the middle stage of the Great Demon, and got acquainted with Gu Quan, the guest elder of the Mingxin Sect. One person and one demon cooperated to plot a few human golden pills in the secret realm of Mingxin Bieyuan, which was considered stable. for a while.

It's just that since meeting Zhang Shiping and his party, it feels that Mingxin Bieyuan is not a place to live for a long time, so it left again.

But that time, it was really unlucky. It ran into Bi Yu's old fire crow halfway, and was detained by the other party in the Xiaotanggu Palace under Chisha Island. spiritual blood.

Decades later, Jiang Si, who managed to save his life, suddenly felt that life overseas was really uneasy, so he quietly fled back to Nanzhou.Considering that Zhang Shiping is a monk of Xuanyuanzong, it deliberately avoided Yuanxiao City and headed towards Shuiyueyuan. By chance, it found red copper veins and practiced carefully.

Unexpectedly, the fate that should come, after all, cannot be avoided.

Chapter 833

Early in the morning, months later.

The mist is dark.

Zhang Shiping woke up from sitting still, waved his sleeves and turned off a lamp beside him, put away the copper lamp, got up and picked up the black cloak on the rack, and put it on his body without casting any spells.

After about a cup of tea, he tidied it up, and beckoned to fetch more than ten sound-transmitting jade slips that had been sent by others in the past few days and placed in the formation. After reading it carefully, people have already walked to the apse to visit the garden in a short time.

As soon as I entered the semi-circular arch, I saw a white tiger lying on the rockery, exhaling a ray of pure purple energy that was born between the heaven and the earth when the yin and yang were in harmony, shining brightly. Qi is really a big monster.

And in the water pavilion not far from the rockery, a monk with two horns on his head and a yellow robe was pouring himself a drink.

Zhang Shiping walked slowly into the waterside pavilion along the wooden stack, then took out a few sound-transmitting flying swords and flung them lightly into the air.

In mid-air, there were only three flying swords, which turned into startled rainbows, each heading in different directions, fleeing away.

"Today, the master is so leisurely, why can't he give up the three feet of the quiet room?" Jiang Ru teased.

"People are not plants, so naturally they are very quiet and want to move." Zhang Shiping lifted the hem of his clothes and sat opposite.

Jiang Ru poured a cup of hot tea for him, then turned towards the rockery not far away, and shouted: "Silly cat, refine the purple qi quickly, it's too slow."

Bai Qi glanced at it, but he was not as impulsive as before. Instead, he continued to refine the wisps of purple energy with concentration.

"It has finally settled down to practice, you are not joking. What are your plans now?" Zhang Shiping said with a smile.

"Can you have any plans? Now that my mana has reached a bottleneck, I have to prepare instead. A few days ago, Du Yutianfeng and the true masters told me that they would help find a suitable place to cross the tribulation, but This kind of thing is always indebted to favors, and the master needs to make the decision." Jiang seemed to say unhurriedly.

"They have already told me about this matter, it depends on when you are ready." Zhang Shiping said.

"At any time, left and right are just life and death success or failure. But if I die under the catastrophe, I'm afraid the master's previous calculations will be in vain, and I will pay for the favors of several true kings, which is not worth it." Jiang Ru smiled. It should be said that it is full of spirits, and it is completely different from the fear of watching the dragon girl of the Hei Jiao decades ago after she crossed the catastrophe.

Zhang Shiping once told Jiang Si that he would help him conceive a baby.However, if it does not touch the baby threshold before the end of its life, its corpse will be packed away as the price for these years, which can be regarded as recovering some costs.

But now that Jiang Si's catastrophe is imminent, once he dies under the thunder catastrophe, the spirituality of this big monster's body will be greatly damaged, and it will even fade into a worthless mortal body. This is not impossible.

In this way, how can I get back what money?
