[Xiu Xian] The ninth generation

This is a small island.

Looking around, the half-person-high vegetation is lush and lush, and huge stones are dotted in it, and some writings engraved on it can be seen faintly among the wind-blown grass.In addition to the vegetation, as far as the eye can see, the rest are unknown wild flowers.Chu Yanzhi's consciousness extended towards the surroundings of the island like a tide, and he saw that the island was more like a small grassland, and outside the island was a vast ocean, endless.

This small island seems to have been deliberately isolated from the sea.

Chu Yanzhi frowned, and then thought of the mysterious cave, the teleportation array protected by layers, and felt that the guess just now seemed to be the closest to the truth.

Ascension Continent.

Chu Yanzhi stretched out his right hand, and saw that the aura above his palm gradually turned into mist, with a slight smile on his face: Yes, this is the Tiansheng Continent.no doubt.This almost shape-shifting aura is proof. ——In the Jingyuan Continent, only under the action of a powerful high-level spirit-gathering array is it possible to transform spiritual energy into form.Even Zi Chenzong, who claims to occupy the Lingshan Mountain, set up a spirit gathering array on the hidden miniature spirit veins in the backyard of the bamboo house on Zixia Peak, so that the spirit energy can be turned into rain and mist!

It happened that the zhenqi in the body was consumed a lot after passing through the teleportation formation, so Chu Yanzhi found a secluded place, set up a defensive formation, and immediately began to meditate to recover.

After about half an hour, all the true energy recovered.Chu Yanzhi took out the world spirit compass, only to see that the third half-bright and half-dark star on the compass had all lit up at this moment.The map line that was broken at Xilian City has already appeared on the compass, and the end of Tiansheng Continent starts from this small island and goes straight to the northwest.

Knowing the route, Chu Yanzhi didn't stop, and immediately headed towards the route indicated by the map.

Chu Yanzhi flew in a straight line for three days without sleep, and finally arrived at a small village in the easternmost part of Tiansheng Continent.

After picking a safe place to recover his true energy, he had time to look around.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, as soon as you look at it, you find the problem: in the sky, the churning is clearly blood!If you sniff it carefully, you can still smell a faint smell of blood. ——This light taste is extremely contradictory to the strong blood, there is a problem!

Chu Yanzhi frowned, took out the Qiushui Sword from the storage bag to defend himself, and immediately groped in the direction of the bloody smell.

The direction of the smell of blood was exactly the same as that of the small village—that is, his destination.

The bad feeling in Chu Yanzhi's heart became more and more intense, until the pointed roof of the village appeared in front of him.Severed limbs and remains everywhere, the dark red agglomerated land, the silent silence... What Chu Yanzhi displayed in front of him was such a tragic picture of hell on earth.

He looked at the severed head at his feet with some numbness: his teeth were clenched tightly, his eyes were wide open, and the shock and anger on his face were clearly visible.An icy chill rushed up Chu Yanzhi's back along with vague anger—what kind of person is it that he managed to slaughter the village!

Chu Yanzhi looked at it for a while, then left expressionlessly.He was going to follow the second marked place on the map.

The same village, the same tragic appearance of a hell on earth.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

Just when Chu Yanzhi suspected that the village slaughterer also had such a map, the sixth place was finally safe and sound.

The first five places are all small villages, not far from each other, and there are no advanced monks... Is it a coincidence?He breathed a sigh of relief.

The sixth place is a town named "Ruchuan City", which is a little far away from the fifth place, and it took Chu Yanzhi two full hours to get there.It was dusk at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the unimportant city, which gave Chu Yanzhi a strange feeling.He was slightly stunned, and then stared carefully, the strange feeling disappeared suddenly, replaced by a solemn and solemn scene, as if that glance was just an illusion.

"Can you enter the city yet?" The people behind Chu Yanzhi pushed Chu Yanzhi impatiently, "If you don't enter, just stay!"

"Ah!" Chu Yanzhi turned his head and found that the one pushing him was a monk who had established a foundation and was about the same age as him.Taking a closer look, most of the people queuing up to enter the city are Foundation Establishment monks, and some of them have imperceptible cultivation bases. Presumably, they are at least Golden Core stage cultivation bases. As for the Qi refining stage, there are none.This is just a small remote city, and the main city occupied by the big family is unknown.Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi couldn't help sighing that the foundation-building monks in the Tiansheng Continent walked all over the ground, and there were as many golden cores as dogs.

Although these thoughts are complicated to describe, they are actually just like electric sparks, fleeting.He didn't dare to think too much, he narrowed his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, and said repeatedly: "Come in! Come in!"

"It costs half a medium-grade spirit stone to enter the city." The monk guarding the city said sternly.

Chu Yanzhi was stunned, but still gritted his teeth and paid the entry fee which was nearly a hundred times higher than that of Chu City.After receiving the spirit stone, the cultivator looked a little better, but he didn't let it go as Chu Yanzhi imagined. Instead, he continued to interrogate: "The cultivator, where did you come from?"

"To the southeast." Chu Yanzhi pointed to the way, and in the next moment, he noticed a gleam of light in the other party's eyes, and his expression became more dignified.Chu Yanzhi's heart skipped a beat, was there something wrong in his mind?Sure enough, when the cultivator asked again, his voice became a bit sharper: "Southeast? Where is the southeast?"

"Cheng Zhou City."

Chu Yanzhi kept an eye out and talked about another city in the south.This city belongs to the Xuanyuan family, and it is not less than a few thousand miles away from the five villages where the massacres occurred.At the same time, he paid more and more attention to the changes in the monk's expression. Sure enough, the monk's brows stretched, and he smiled again: "So it's from Chengzhou City, so that's good. Fellow Daoist, it's a long way here. Did you find anything on the way?" strange things?"

If it was just that he thought it was wrong before, now that this question came up, Chu Yanzhi immediately affirmed the assumption in his heart: this monk is wrong!No, to be more precise, the city is wrong!The monks in charge of this city must know a lot about the tragedies in the surrounding villages, otherwise they wouldn't have asked the monks defending the city to interrogate them one by one!

"It's nothing special." Under the cover of the Thousand Illusion Mask, Chu Yanzhi had already practiced the ability to keep his face from falling apart, let alone just asking mere questions.He even made a blank expression as if he was afraid that he was not enough, "I don't know what you are referring to?"

"Corps, bloodstains, etc." the monk reminded again.

"Fellow Daoist was joking." Chu Yanzhi pulled a smile on his face, "Isn't it normal for monks to fight over a disagreement, or to rob money halfway? Why?"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist is right, I was thinking about it."

Chu Yanzhi knew that he had passed the interrogation, and quickly entered the city gate smoothly.

Standing in the city, he turned his head to look at the gate of the city, and saw that after the monk collected the entrance fee, he still asked one by one, with a very dignified expression.

——Whose masterpiece is what happened in those villages?And for what?

Chu Yanzhi withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyebrows and quickly left the spot, for fear that if he looked a little longer, he would be discovered by those monks defending the city.

……

a month later.

Flow Inn.

Chu Yanzhi opened his eyes with joy: Thanks to the aura of Tiansheng Continent, in just one month after being promoted to the middle stage of foundation establishment, his cultivation base has been promoted to the late stage of foundation establishment again! ——The pill formation is just around the corner!

Once the supreme golden elixir is achieved, you will be eligible to talk to the alchemy king (the third world is just a coincidence, Chu Yanzhi was trapped in the same room with the alchemy king, and this is the only way to have a deal, he can't guarantee it This life is still such a "coincidence").The most important thing is that his grasp of the main ingredients of Nashou Dan's three flavors has increased by a few percent.

Now that the matter of cultivation is at a high level, and I haven't gone out for a long time, it's time to go out and have a look.

Thinking of this, Chu Yanzhi jumped up from the bed, brushed off the dust that did not exist on his body, and walked towards the most prosperous restaurant in Ruchuan City. ——If you want to inquire about news, the most convenient place is a restaurant with mixed fish and eyes.

……

Qinglian Restaurant.

Chu Yanzhi ordered a pot of Qinglian wine, the exclusive brew of the restaurant, and sat by the window to drink it slowly, while listening intently to the conversations of the monks around him.

Listening to it like this, I really heard something different.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, what are the origins of those two red-robed men, why are they so cruel!" One of the sallow-faced young monks looked panic-stricken, as if frightened by the red-robed men in his words.

"The red robe seems to be some kind of mark. But Wang, I have lived for more than a hundred years, and I am quite familiar with the nearby area, but I have never heard of any company or organization whose mark is the red robe." The bearded monk on the opposite side took a sip of wine, and then said, "How to put it, he doesn't look like a local."

The beautiful woman next to the young monk hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Two big brothers, I don't know if you have heard of something. Those villages in the southeast..."

"Fellow daoist, keep quiet!" The young monk hastily interrupted the beautiful woman's words, looked around hastily, and heaved a sigh of relief after finding nothing unusual.

The glamorous woman patted her head: "Thank you, Big Brother Chen, I forgot about it for a while, but by the way..."

The woman's voice became softer and softer, and finally no matter how Chu Yanzhi tried to listen, she couldn't hear it at all.He glanced at the back pretending to be casual, and saw the lips of the three monks moving slightly, presumably they were transmitting sound, or they were using a sound-proof formation.

The man in the red robe...?

Chu Yanzhi looked out the window, and saw people passing by in a hurry, the street was still bustling and calm, like the calm before the storm.

He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, got up and left.
