longevity road trip

So after thinking for a while, he nodded and said:

"Before Tianfeng leaves the customs, I can take his place first. But there is no need to spread the matter. Let Wen Jiu come out on your side, and I will send Tian Wu. It can be regarded as giving the two of them some experience. If there is an undecided I'll deal with it later."

Chapter 980 Fireworks

"Are you really not tempted at all? You must know that the power of rewards and punishments is in your hands. You can control the sect with eight hundred golden pills, thousands of promises to build foundations, and countless qi refining monks. You can control all the sects and families near the sea, and you can control the secular dynasties far away. Its ups and downs are all in your mind, and a person with such power and influence can only look at Nanzhou with two palms." Du Yu asked with a smile.

"What's the difference between that and me now? Left and right are nothing more than useless fame and fortune. When I first started, I was not interested in these trivial matters. If the power is strong for a while, if it doesn't become a deity, how can it last long. Only It will take another 2000 years, and who will remember me? Before Tianfeng left the customs, I was in charge of it, and you don't need to say anything else! The copywriting is exhausting, fame and fortune are blindfolded, and you are in the midst of it. If you don't know it for a long time, you will inevitably suffer." Zhang Shiping shook his head and said.

As soon as the words fell, the two turned around and looked into the distance, only to see an auspicious cloud floating over, on which was a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged, behind him stood two young men in long robes, one in green and one in black.

Du Yu and Zhang Shiping flew towards it, and they met halfway.

As soon as we met, Qiu Cong smiled and said, "Shiheng, you have passed the seclusion. The old man thought that you will practice for [-] to [-] years as usual in this seclusion, and you have forgotten your apprentice?"

As soon as the words fell, the two young men behind him bowed their hands and said respectfully one after another:

"The disciple pays homage to the sect master and Shiheng Zhenjun."

"The apprentice pays respects to the master and the master."

"You don't need to be too polite." Du Yu and Zhang Shiping said in unison, and they stretched out their hands to help.

"How is Zhongli?" Qiu Cong asked casually.

"Since ancient times, those who choose to practice the "Zuo Wang Sutra" depend on God's will whether they live or die." Du Yu said slowly.

Hearing this, Qiu Cong was silent for a moment, then smiled and said:

"The old man has only thirty or forty years of life left. It seems that he may not wait until this guy leaves before me. Disciple, if the master takes a step first, if the guy who is retreating in the mountains leaves behind, remember Burn a few sticks of incense to let me know. Forget it, don’t talk about him, so as not to disturb the current interest. If you come back this time, if you are not in a hurry, you might as well sit with the old man, maybe next time you won’t This is an opportunity. Shiheng, the matter of the spiritual fire is over now, and it is time to spare time to teach his disciples. But don’t be like Jifeng. After he accepted Du Yu, it happened to be a time of practice. This retreat is 30 In a few years, people grow up in a flash. These children are not as good as us after thousands of years."

As he spoke, he waved lightly, and Du Mingan behind him flew towards Zhang Shiping.

Then he flew towards the cave on a cloud, followed by several people.

"Then respect is worse than obedience. Du Yu and I planned to do so. Ming An, come here." Zhang Shiping waved his hand, took over Ming An who flew over, wrapped him up with mana, and then swept over with his divine sense , I felt a more pure mana from his body than before.

Its degree of purity, I am afraid that no one in the same generation can surpass it, so I can't help but nodded, very satisfied with this in my heart!

But as early as when his apprentice, the body of the ghost veins, awakened, not to mention the establishment of the foundation, it was not impossible to form the alchemy immediately.

It's just because his own cultivation base is in the early stage of Qi refining, once his strength soars, coupled with what he has encountered, he will inevitably be fooled by it.

Therefore, in these years, under his arrangement, Du Ming'an has been practicing more of that "Virtuous View" to cultivate his body and mind.

"Shiheng, it's time for Ming'an to build the foundation, and it's just a waste of time to delay." Du Yu said.

"That's fine. In the next few days, you can start preparing for the establishment of the foundation. For you, this matter is nothing more than a matter of course." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.

Then he looked at Du Yu and said: "Over the years, there are still high-grade foundation building pills refined in the sect, don't hide them, take a bottle for me, it will be counted as part of the offerings that I have not received over the years .”

"I prepared it for you a long time ago. There are three pills in it, which should be enough." Du Yu said, flipped his hands over and took out a green jade medicine bottle and threw it over.

Zhang Shiping took it with one hand, then handed it to his apprentice, and said unhurriedly:

"Ordinary foundation building pills still have some erysipelas, but this high-grade panacea has no such worries. Don't take it lightly, take what you need, don't think there is anything to waste."

"Thank you, Master." Du Mingan said.

"Brother Du, I refined these pills. If they are not enough, you can find all the medicinal ingredients and I will start another furnace." Li Jiantong laughed.

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Cong tapped his head and said with a laugh:

"You child is ashamed to say that in the past few years, I have squandered a lot of elixir planted in Master's mountain, and how many furnaces of medicinal materials have been wasted to refine ten top-grade foundation-building pills. In the future, there will not be so many elixir of the previous year. The medicine is for you to refine!"

But having said that, he stared at Du Yu.

"Don't worry, after Jiantong has formed the alchemy, the elixir that is less than a thousand years old in the Mysterious Tongxuan Realm will be available for him to use, but right now he is still focusing on his cultivation." How could Du Yu not understand what the other party meant, and promised immediately promise.

Hearing this, Qiu Cong nodded in satisfaction.

An alchemist is different from an ordinary monk. Even if Li Jiantong is talented, he must have enough elixir to practice, otherwise it will be nothing but talking on paper.Even he, the master of alchemy, came here like this.

During the conversation, several people had reached the sky above the green mountain where Qiu Cong practiced, and flew down one after another, stepping into a stone pavilion on the mountainside.

Du Ming'an and Li Jiantong were two young people on one side, prepared tea and got up after busy work.

The three of them naturally accepted the service of their juniors without any pressure, and started chatting on their own, stealing a bit of leisure!

Several hours passed in a blink of an eye, the sky was twilight, and the shadows of the forest were whirling.

"You two go down and rest, you don't have to stay here with us old guys." Zhang Shiping said.

Li Jiantong looked at his master and nodded when he saw Qiu Cong.

The two bowed and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Yes."

Then they left together, heading towards their respective cultivation caves.

"How?" Qiu Cong looked at the figures of the two leaving, and said through sound transmission.

"Not arrogant or impetuous, this temper has been tempered a bit." Du Yu said with satisfaction.

"That's right, I can still see it." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.After all, this practice is not something that can be done overnight, the most important thing is to persevere.

"Your request is too high. Shiheng, you can't ask everyone to be like you, and only have cultivation in your eyes. During these years of retreat in Tianfeng, it happens that you are also in charge of things, exposed to some fireworks, maybe you will gain something else Not necessarily." Qiu Cong shook his head lightly.

Chapter 981 Rejection

"Where do we look for the smoke and fire, is it here or the common people?" Zhang Shiping said unhurriedly.

After all, hold a cup and moisten your lips with tea.

Qiu Cong pointed at Zhang Shiping, then looked at Du Yu, and said with a loud smile:

"Look at Shiheng, I am still thinking about the old man. Where to find the smoke and fire, it is neither here nor secular, but in your heart. The Tao is the only one with one heart, and there is no way to find it. On the way, look at the blue smoke from a distance, and see a fire up close."

"No matter how bright the fireworks are on the left and right sides of this road, they are just fleeting. Although the beautiful scenery is beautiful, it only lasts for a moment. Du Yu, what do you think?" Zhang Shiping put down his teacup and said softly.

"Me? I drink water when I'm thirsty, eat when I'm hungry, and rest when I'm tired. When I'm happy, I have that beautiful woman by my side, so I just want to have a good time. Even after thousands of years, whether I'm still alive or turned into a handful of loess It doesn't matter!" Du Yu stretched comfortably, lying on his back on the ground, looking at the blue sky outside the eaves of the pavilion, his eyes reflected the flowing clouds, with thousands of changes.

"Well, it doesn't matter, if Jifeng hears what you say, he might vomit blood and fight with Qinghe forever." Qiu Cong said with a smile.

"It's not that you don't know, my master has never beaten his uncle in this generation. The golden core is a few years behind, and the birth of a baby is also a step late. As for the transformation of the gods, it should be here after ascending to the spirit world. But The master is originally in the realm of the hole, and after reaching the spiritual world, he has practiced for a long time. My master, it is difficult in this life to surpass the master. By the way, he still has something special, after all, the head of the sect I snatched it from you." Du Yu said casually.

"That old man specializes in alchemy and formation, and doesn't care about chores, or is it just him?" Qiu Cong glanced at Du Yu.

Zhang Shiping smiled lightly and shook his head, pouring tea for himself.

The three of them talked jokingly, waiting for the stars and the moon to shine in the sky, rising against the wind, and roaming among them.

……

……

Three days later, Zhang Shiping came out from Xuanyuan Secret Realm to go to Green Fire Valley.

After waiting outside the valley for a while, Zheng Hengyun flew over, and when he met him, he cupped his hands and said, "Meet the ancestor."

"The cultivation base has improved a lot, not bad." Zhang Shiping nodded and said.

"If I haven't made any progress after taking the Zihua Pill, wouldn't it be a waste of the precious medicine that the ancestor finally obtained?" Zheng Hengyun laughed.

"This thing is for use, there is no such thing as waste. I have something to discuss with you this time, so let's talk about it." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

"Father, please come with me." Zheng Hengyun invited, he waved his sleeves to disperse the formation outside the valley, and walked quickly to lead the way.

The two soon came to the stone pavilion in the Green Fire Valley, Zhang Shiping was very familiar with this place, he sat on the stone chair generously as if he was coming home.

Zheng Hengyun sat opposite, and then with a thought, a jug of amber wine and two crystal clear amber wine glasses appeared on the stone table.

"I don't know why the ancestor came here for this trip?" Holding the handle of the pot, he first filled the wine glass in front of Zhang Shiping, and then poured it for himself.

"Du Yu and Tian Feng, let me be in charge of the sect's rewards and punishments, and take charge of the prison affairs. But everything is cumbersome, and someone needs to help. I don't know what your plan is now?" Zhang Shiping raised his glass to invite , and then said without haste.

"Thank you for the kindness of the ancestor, but let Tian Wu do this. He is practicing the method of Xuansha Body Refining. If he can use the bloody Qi of the prison, he may be able to go further. I have already It is more than six hundred, and there is not much time left. Now that I am practicing in the valley, my own mana can hardly be improved by half a point. It is better to go out and fight hard. Maybe there is a chance to break through the Nascent Soul in this life. Today, the ancestor does not Come, I will go to your house to bid farewell in a few days, now it is better to hit the sun, I will call Tian Wu here!" Zheng Hengyun declined politely.

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and a red light flew out from the sleeve, and a sound transmission flying sword flew towards the distance, and soon disappeared.

"Forget it, since you intend to do so, then I won't force you any more. Keep these spirit stones and the Wuxu Fire Bead, you put them away first. In the next few days, I will prepare a few more self-defense items for you, you first Don't rush away, going out is no better than being at home, you must always be prepared. Although there is a trace of my soul in you, other fellow Taoists will always give some respect when they see you

My son, but these years, our relationship with the sea and the monster race has been on fire, if you encounter them, they will not show mercy. Zhang Shiping sighed when he saw that he had made up his mind.

Then he reached out to wipe the jade belt around his waist, took out a gray cloth storage bag containing [-] top-grade spirit stones, and put it on the table.

Afterwards, he took out three strange treasure fire beads refined by the fire of Wuxu. The whole body was purple and black, like black pearls, glowing with aura.

Each of these fire beads has a blow power not weaker than that of ordinary Nascent Soul mid-stage monks.

"Thank you, ancestor." Zheng Hengyun stood up and bowed deeply.

"Sit down, why are you and I so alien, put these things away first." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

"Yes." Zheng Hengyun said respectfully, and then put away the storage bag and the three Wuxu Fire Beads on the table.

Afterwards, Zhang Shiping began to teach the experience of Jindan mid-stage and late-stage practice, and he did not have any reservations to solve the puzzles he encountered during the past few years of practice.

After less than a stick of incense, Zhang Tianwu galloped from the Green Bamboo Valley dozens of miles away, and as soon as he entered the valley, he quickly came to the two of them.

"Sit down, I think Hengyun has already told you, are you willing?" Zhang Shiping said.

"Thank you for your love, ancestor. Naturally, Tianwu couldn't be more happy." Zhang Tianwu quickly said respectfully.

"Okay, but before that, I still have to tell you a few words. The matter of rewards and punishments of the sect seems to be in great power, but it is also an offending matter. The old man will hand it over to Wen Jiu. Yu's registered disciple, but after all, he is the head of the sect, and his name is justified. As for you, you should focus on the prison, whether it is a casual cultivator who made a mistake, or other disciples in the sect, or our Zhang family monks, Treat everyone equally, with the support of an old man, no one will dare to embarrass you, and there will be no gossip!" Zhang Shiping said, nodding his head.

There are as many as 5000 monks in the Zhang family so far, and there are always some unworthy people among them, which is unavoidable.

No matter how strict the Zhang family's rules are, and the patriarch can keep a bowl of water level, but when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there will always be times when people's hearts are not enough.

It's just that compared to other monks, the disciples of the Yuanying family made mistakes, and the Xuanyuanzong usually handed them over to their families to save some face.

Chapter 982 Hell Valley

"With the ancestor here, other fellow Taoists will naturally be willing to sell me some face. It's just that this tribe made mistakes. If our Zhang family treats them according to the family rules like this, it will not look good on the ancestor if it is spread. As soon as the precedent is established, if there are members of the family of the ancestors such as Naqiu, Cui, Taishu, etc., if there are people who violate the rules, how to deal with them will be a problem at that time. It is not easy to explain to outsiders, but it may be serious. The harmony between the ancestors." Zhang Tianwu said slowly after deliberation.

Zhang Shiping looked at him indifferently, and said:

"Why, listening to what you said, how many disciples of our clan are in the punishment prison right now, and what mistakes did they make? How did they get caught by the Zongmen Xingdian?"

"Old Ancestor Huiyan." Zhang Tianwu said with a shy expression.

"I haven't asked about the affairs of the clan for hundreds of years, but today I want to hear what's going on, it's good to open my eyes!" Zhang Shiping took a sip from his wine glass and said slowly.

"Ten years ago, three foundation-building cultivators from the 'Cheng' generation of our family practiced the method of red ghosts and spirits, and joined forces in the secular world to sacrifice a small town, causing thousands of mortals in the city to turn into ghosts. They were encountered by the disciples of the Xingdian who were patrolling outside, and they were captured alive. However, during the resistance, the three of them accidentally injured a grandson of Yan Zixiu, the deputy head of the Xingdian, so that this person hurt his soul. Now Unconscious. The two of us negotiated with each other for a long time, but the other party refused to let them go, insisting on executing the three of them to demonstrate the canonical punishment." Zhang Tianwu said softly.

Before the Xuanyuan Sect's Hall of Punishment Master, Tianfeng Zhenjun, the deputy head, concurrently served as the deputy head, and at the same time, there were three Jindan monks as the deputy head.This time, the person injured by the three generations of Zhang Family Foundation Establishment cultivators was the only descendant of the deputy hall master with a spiritual root. .

Hearing this, Zhang Shiping frowned, tapped the stone table with his fingers, but said nothing.

Zhang Tianwu looked uneasy, and looked at Zheng Hengyun with help-seeking eyes.

Therefore, the other party had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"Old Ancestor, please calm down, don't hurt your body because of these three useless guys."

"It's really a worthless guy. Torturing and killing mortals is one crime, and killing each other is two crimes. Is it because the family didn't give them a place to practice, or didn't find a good place for them to earn spiritual things for practice? Tongshi Yuanheng Tai and Tianzhi will be written in the sky; the imperial court is benevolent, and the rites and music are far-reaching. It has only been passed down for so many generations, and it is already not as good as the previous generation. Forget it, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day. The two of you go to the prison first. Take a walk, Yan Zixiu should be in the prison at this moment, you tell him, the old man will be there soon. I still remember that when I joined the sect in the past, Yan Zixiu and I sat down and talked about it, and the old man will give him an explanation .” Zhang Shiping said without haste.

As he spoke, he filled his glass with wine, and took a sip with half-lowered eyebrows.

The two people in the pavilion quickly responded, and then quickly walked out of the pavilion, rising against the wind, and flew towards the prison valley where the prison is located.

Flying away for more than a hundred miles, Zheng Hengyun frowned and looked at Zhang Tianwu, and said with some displeasure:

"What are you talking about with the ancestor now? After you take charge of the prison, how to deal with those three guys is not a matter of one sentence?"

...

Hearing this, Zhang Tianwu smiled wryly and said:

"You think I think, I don't care whether the three blind guys are alive or dead, it's just that Yan Zixiu wants to behead them on the execution platform, take their souls and light the lamps, and when the execution platform is opened, other monks from the sect must watch and witness , In this way, our Zhang family will lose all face."

"How dare Yan Zixiu do this?" Zheng Hengyun said angrily.

"That old guy is over seven hundred years old now, and his grandson is a monk with dual spiritual roots. He is expected to be promoted to the golden core realm and inherit the mantle, but now he is seriously injured and unconscious, and all his plans are gone. You said he has Why dare not? But outsiders don't know about this matter yet, and there is still room for maneuver." Zhang Tianwu sighed.

"How is his grandson's injury, and what is Yan Laoer planning?" Zheng Hengyun said.

"Blood evil hurts the soul, and the Yuanying monk needs to protect the soul, and then refine the soul accumulation pill, so that the disease can be cured. I think the ancestors have expected this." Zhang Tianwu said.

"No one is worry-free! Old Yan should be guarding the prison at this moment, so he should not leave half a step away. What about Weng Weiguang and Sikong Hua? They are also the deputy palace masters. It shouldn't be difficult for me personally." Zheng Hengyun said coldly.

"If the ancestor said something, the two of them would naturally be willing to come forward. It's just that they don't want to offend Yan Zixiu to death for me alone. The two of them have already retreated and have seen no outsiders." Zhang Tianwu said.
