longevity road trip

"Thank you ancestor for cultivating it." Xu Su said respectfully.

"This is the result of your hard work, and I just gave you a push." ​​Zhang Shiping said calmly.

Ever since Zhongli sat down, his fourth-order spiritual mountain in Xuanyuan's secret realm fell into his hands, and at the same time it became Jiang Si's place of practice.

After Xu Su practiced for hundreds of years, his mana has reached a bottleneck.

With Zhang Shiping's permission, he practiced in this mountain for nearly ten years, and broke through to the middle stage of Jindan with the help of the pure spiritual energy.

"Jiang seems to be still in the secret realm?" Zhang Shiping asked.

"Senior Jiang went out three months ago, and his whereabouts are unknown." Xu Su replied in a respectful voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Shiping nodded, then closed his eyes and focused his attention. He sensed through the soul seals of the blood contract between them, and realized that there was a vague connection in the north.

"Have you been to Northern Xinjiang?" He thought to himself.

Then he soared into the sky and headed towards the border of the barbarian domain.

Chapter 994 Slaves

Of course, Zhang Shiping didn't waste time, and deliberately flew hundreds of thousands of miles from the south to the border of the barbarian domain in the north.

Sent from Bihu Island, flew thousands of miles, and when he arrived at Yuanxiao City, he immediately spent spirit stones to activate the ancient teleportation circle in the sect, and in an instant, it appeared in the Baimang Mountain Range.

Then it turned into a startled rainbow and disappeared into the sky.

Although it took more than ten high-grade spirit stones, it also saved more than a month of traveling time.

Three to five days later, he crossed the entire vast sea and desert.

It's just that when Zhang Shiping passed by high in the sky, in a certain pasture in the desert with abundant water and grass, a short-haired old man with a dark face and wrinkles as if carved by years of time looked up, and then looked down. He picked up the half-dry and half-wet cow dung on the ground and threw it into the bamboo basket behind him.

There are dozens of numb-looking slaves around it, some pushing carts, and some carrying bamboo baskets.

In the cold winter of the vast sea and desert, thousands of miles are covered with ice, and thousands of miles are covered with snow. It is so cold that people can be frozen into ice cubes.

The herdsmen count on drying the dung and burning it for warmth so that they will not freeze to death.

Under the supervision of a big man riding a tall horse with a whip, these people are doing hard work day after day. In addition to grazing, they also collect cow dung, or harvest and store green materials.

And there are seven or eight such big men, each with thirty to fifty slaves under their hands.

A group of people walked through the herd like this, when suddenly the old man found something, squatted down and dug out a fist-sized rhizome from his feet, and put it into his arms immediately.

It's just that this scene was seen by a teenager who was more than ten steps away, and he stared eagerly, swallowing his saliva non-stop.

The old man smiled, like the benevolent Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple, he bent down and continued to pick it up, approached the young man unhurriedly, then took out the stem from his arms, and quietly handed it over.

The young man didn't care about getting his hands dirty, and the stem was covered with dirt and cow dung, so he took a big bite like a hungry ghost.

But before chewing a few times, he hesitated for a while, and reluctantly returned the rest to the old man.

Jueming didn't refuse, just took it, opened his mouth and started to eat.

Eat very carefully, and nothing is wasted.

It took him a long time to get down from the suspended roof of the lofty mountain, walk among the icebergs and snow fields, and then walk along the direction of the big river, to the desert plain, and treat the wounded while walking.

It doesn't matter whether it is a human race or a monster race, even ordinary beasts are treated equally.

It's just that on the way, they encountered an annexation between tribes, suffered a disaster and were captured as slaves. It has been three years since then.

He didn't resist at all, but worked like other slaves, and just like this, he became this sloppy look in the wind and sun.

And the big man in the distance saw the two gathered together, but he didn't drive his horse over to whip him like other big men, he just swung his whip and yelled loudly.

Like a frightened rabbit, the ragged boy hurried to work.

Jueming lowered his eyebrows and walked towards other places, picking up lumps of cow dung on the ground, and when the bamboo basket was full, he walked to the side of the cart, and poured these onto the cart with great effort.

After finishing these things, he was a little out of breath, like that old mortal from the beginning to the end.

……

……

On the other side, Zhang Shiping was not aware of this at all, and he came alone to the sky above an extremely desolate ancient city on the border of the barbaric domain.

As soon as he approached, a plump woman in palace attire flew out to meet him, followed by two beautiful Jindan female cultivators.

"My concubine has met fellow Taoist, you came much earlier than I expected." Zhenjun Zhan Xuan laughed.

"Junior pay homage to Zhenjun Shiheng." The two Jindan female cultivators bowed and said in unison.

"Get up. It's just that I have nothing to do, so I came a little earlier. Why, don't fellow daoists welcome you?" Zhang Shiping said calmly.

"I have been here for nearly 30 years, and my mana has been consumed by this ancient aura for two or three floors. I'm afraid I will have to retreat for a while after I go back. If you can come early, How can I not welcome you?" Zhenjun Zhan Xuan said.

"That fellow daoist is now relieved. From now on, I will take over the frontier of the barbaric domain. You can go back." Zhang Shiping said.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"That concubine can inherit Shiheng's love. But this place is desolate, not at all popular, and it's boring to stay for a long time. It just so happens that two disciples from my sect, Xu Jie and Rong Jing, came to pick me up. Why don't I leave it to fellow Taoists?" It’s good to be a companion, just to understand loneliness.”

When the two female cultivators behind heard this, although they were surprised, they quickly calmed down.

At the same time, he lowered his head slightly, with a more or less shy expression on his face.

However, although these two people look like those ten-year-old girls, they have both practiced for three to four hundred years, so how can they be as shy as those girls who have not left the cabinet?

It can only be said that they are extremely good at observing words and expressions, and know how to choose between pros and cons.

If they can cling to Zhang Shiping, a well-known Nascent Soul True Monarch in Nanzhou, then with their two aptitudes and some help from the other side, maybe there will be one or two more chances to conceive a baby.

"Friendship, Shiheng accepts it, but I'm afraid that if the two of them stay here for a long time, their foundations will be wiped out by the ancient aura." Zhang Shiping refused in a calm voice.

"Then it can only be said that they don't have this blessing." Zhenjun Zhan Xuan sighed, flipping his hands over a simple jade tablet.

But she didn't force it anymore.After all, as Yuanying Zhenjun, he couldn't greet like those old bustards in the world.

And the expressions of the two Jindan female cultivators seemed rather disappointed.

"By the way, I heard that fellow Daoist Jiang of Mingxinzong was originally a direct disciple of Yu Xing, and now he has become the master of Wanjianmen. , Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, his disciples, but he didn't grasp any of them." Zhenjun Zhan Xuan was about to leave, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and asked.

In the past, when Jiang Ruoliu was still building his foundation, after Zhang Shiping learned about it, he asked Ming Xinzong Min Caiquan, a Jindan friend, to take care of him.

Naturally, this matter cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of some interested people.

"Jiang Daoyou and I have known each other since we were young, so we can be regarded as friends. After all, we were the only two of our peers in the Zhengyang Sect in the past." Now Zhang Shiping has no worries about his origin in the Zhengyang Sect.

"So that's how it is. That concubine will leave first. If you pass by our Qingxia sect in the future, you can come and sit for a while." Zhenjun Zhan Xuan said, and then left with the two disciples.

Chapter 995 Gains and Losses

Seeing the three of them go away, Zhang Shiping flew into the ancient city, which had long lost its popularity, and was as lonely as a corner of the world that had been abandoned.

He dissipated the body-protecting aura that was maintained around his body, allowing the ancient aura in the air to pour into his body.

This layer of body-protecting aura does not come from specially operating any exercises, but it is just the instinct of both the mana and the body after a long period of practice after reaching the Nascent Soul realm.

And based on this point alone, no matter what the Qi refining and foundation building monks do, they can't break through.If the mana of the other party is regarded as a small stream and a river, but the Nascent Soul cultivator is like a torrential river, there is a huge difference between the two.

As for the Golden Core cultivator, he also needs at least a mid-term cultivation base to be able to break through this layer of aura.

The Nascent Soul cultivator still has such instincts. It is no wonder that the Kunpeng True Spirit in the Nine Birds Mystery Realm, even though it has fallen for more than [-] years, the divine pattern is still immortal. within.

From this we can see why the taller monks in the world are less and less seen before the world.If the spiritual world was compared to the sea, then the Mahayana monk would be like a huge monster comparable to a continent, turning over a little could set off a huge wave that would drown everything around him.

Of course, this is just what Zhang Shiping has seen from the appearance. If in the eyes of the two Mahayana monks who were born in the spiritual world, Snake Woman or Ming Xin, as long as the attainments in the two realms of wind and water between the heaven and the earth are not broken before this world is shattered If there is another venerable who surpasses Kunpeng, no matter how long the other party has fallen, there is still a slight possibility of returning.

Therefore, if the venerable wants to separate life and death, besides killing the other party, there must be a means to wipe out her Taoism.It's just that this move is no less than the confrontation of God's will condensed in one world. If it is a venerable from another world, it is extremely easy to be attacked by other venerables in this world.To a certain extent, Mahayana monks in the same realm are considered natural alliances.

Zhang Shiping walked slowly on the long street in the city that was about to become deserted, and walked towards the formation hub.

And the pure magic power he had cultivated for more than [-] years began to melt slowly like the spring snow, and merged into his body in a way that he couldn't understand at the moment, as if he felt a sense of rebirth, but at the same time There was also an inexplicable rage in my heart, the urge to tear everything I saw into pieces, just like that ignorant beast.

But this feeling is still in its infancy, and it can't shake his mind yet.

It's just that he didn't want to let this rage become more intense, so he started to use the method of keeping the mind and calming the mind.

This method is not obtained from the "Clear and Turbid View" in the Wuzhuo Cave, but an ancient method passed down by the sect.

This method is called "Heaven and Man Harmony".

Its general outline states that people are in the heaven and the earth, and the energy in the middle is born, and the original true species is the root.The big medicine is born in the body, which is the same as everything in the world.The two qi of yin and yang, one giving and one transforming, the black and yellow intersect, and the one endowing and the receiving are connected up and down; therefore, the body is calm and the mind is calm, the righteous qi is flattened, the eyes are closed, and the mind is forgotten.God is in the valley of heaven, like a baby, ignorant, only deep and silent.The sun in the sky has no leaks, the farther and the brighter, the self-transformation produces the gods, and the transformation is infinite.

With the operation of the mental method, this violent feeling has also subsided a little.

He walked through the long street and came to a place lined with stone pillars, stepped into it, found an empty space and sat cross-legged, took out the bronze lamp and placed it beside him.

Then, in a flash, there was a puppet with a Golden Core cultivation beside him, and at the same time, the Nascent Soul Heijiao refined with "The Method of Tiandu Puppet Refining".

The former is only used to add some lamp oil to the bronze lamp, while the latter is needed for Dharma protection.

The twenty-foot-long black dragon lay silently outside the stone forest.

With the snap of Zhang Shiping's fingers, a little spark fell on the wick, and the blue flame slowly ignited.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly, and saw that as the flames burned, the ancient aura around him slowly gathered towards the bronze lamp, and the fireworks turned from blue to ink-like. The color of pitch black.

At the same time, the few strokes originally painted on the lamp's body have completely imprinted them, and they have become more and more clear, the colors have gradually grown, the red veins and green texture and the white beak, a kind of divine intent is being conceived.

It's just that the will was quickly shattered again.

……

……

And the moment this kind of vision just appeared, the snake lady who was closing her eyes and meditating in the dark place of the underworld, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes penetrated through the layers of barriers between the realms, and fell on the In a certain small world, there is a dojo full of green wood and burning fire.

"Bi Qing?"

A majestic sound like thunder resounded in all directions, and all the light in the entire dojo was completely annihilated, as if it was the end of the world.

"This deity is just to get back what was taken by that one, and has no intention of provoking you."

There was a voice of response in the dojo.

"Wait patiently, more than [-] years have passed, and this time is not too short. Think about your past achievements, let's not worry about it this time."

"how much longer?"

"No matter how long you have to wait, otherwise I will sacrifice your life to this Cyanwood Realm." At this time, a blood shadow emerged, turning into a handsome monk with blood robe and red hair and said with a smile.

"Understood, just don't take too long, I'm afraid something will happen. There is also the matter of Kunpeng and Shang Fu, you two must help him. Ao Guang also has a way of practicing water, which can take the fruit of Kunpeng Dao. She has already tried it I have tried it several times, but under the restraint of my deity and Taijiu, I failed to succeed." Bi Qing was silent for a while, then said aloud.

"If Ao Guang is really brave, I will swallow her." The snake woman promised calmly.

As soon as the words fell, the dojo regained its light.

Seeing her receding, Bi Qing couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, then she walked out in her real body, transformed into a green-robed monk, and came to Ming Xin.

"It's only been a while, Xuanji doesn't dare anymore, you are so bold!" Ming Xin couldn't help shaking her head, with admiration on her face.

"You are not in the place of returning to the ruins, what are you doing here?" Bi Qing said in a deep voice.

"The fire of Nirvana." Ming Xin said.

"The phoenix has not returned to silence again, so there is no rush. Even if I agree, Xuanji and Taijiu will not do it at this time. Besides, there will be hidden dangers in this fire. Can you hold it back? Don't set yourself up for nothing. The Tao that has been cultivated for many years has worked." Bi Qing said.

"You don't need to worry about this matter." Ming Xin said.

"Then wait another 7000 years, when the Phoenix will pass away from Nirvana."

"it is good."

……

……

On the border of the barbaric domain, in the stone forest of the ancient city.

Time flies, and before you know it, another 20 years.

And Zhang Shiping is like a stone withered, almost integrated with the surrounding environment.That was originally the mana in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but now it has retreated to the early stage.

It's just that as the mana and ancient aura are melting and feeding back, his acquired fire spirit body, which he has just cultivated, has improved to a higher level, and what he loses, he gains.
