Chapter 364： How much vegetation is withered

The relationship between Shuiyueyuan and Xuanming Palace has deteriorated sharply. Even in the battle with the Sea Clan, they are doing their own thing, and sometimes they are secretly whipping each other coldly. Therefore, even if the scale of the Sea Clan's attack is not large this time, Donghai is more powerful than the Sea Clan. It used to be chaos. Moreover, during this period, some monks became malicious and even secretly besieged and killed some foundation-building monks in Inner Sea.

And these people don't know that because of their well-informed, they have never attacked the foundation-building disciples with strong backgrounds, and they only pick on those casual cultivators who want to take the opportunity to earn some spiritual stones and collect some spiritual objects. So at the beginning, no one found out about this matter, until more people disappeared, and the casual cultivators felt something was wrong, Shui Yueyuan and the golden core monks of Xuanming Palace came back to their senses and investigated the matter. thing.

After this investigation, the two parties unexpectedly discovered that dozens of the foundation-building families and one or two Jindan families attached to their sect were quietly wiped out, and some clues were left behind. , after the investigation by the monks of the two factions, both of them pointed at each other.

It is unknown who spread the news that originally needed to be kept secret. The more it spread, the more outrageous it became. For a while, everyone was in danger. No matter how Shui Yueyuan and Xuanming Palace refuted the rumors, it would not help. Those Jindan real people who hunted sea beasts in the East China Sea and resisted the big monsters of the sea clan, after hearing the news, almost all the Jindan real people from some small sects and families hurried back to sit in town. The original balance of power between the East China Sea Human Race and the Sea Race was suddenly broken.

Therefore, in terms of the East China Sea, the two factions have shrunk their forces, abandoned the outermost sea tribe, and retreated to the second island chain, which is the defense line of the sea tribe on Xiaofeng Island. On the South China Sea side, the pressure increased greatly, and the outermost defense line was crumbling.

Under such circumstances, the two factions of Nascent Soul ancestors who were harshly criticized by other Nascent Soul monks suddenly became furious.

However, these Nascent Soul cultivators, no matter how young they are, have lived for hundreds of years. After being extremely angry, they calmed down instead. These things happened one after another, and the traces left behind were too obvious, and there were likely to be someone pushing behind them. It's just that they planned for too long, and things happened too quickly, and they couldn't react immediately.

Now that they have calmed down, the two factions have restrained themselves, but they have not let go of their previous suspicions. They are still fighting in secret, and they don't know what they are for? Some True Monarchs who had a good relationship with the Yuanying monks of the two factions asked them privately, but the ancestors of the two factions were more tight-lipped than an unsewn egg, and didn't ask a word.

After these things spread in the circle of Zhenjun Yuanying, the ancestors of Xuanyuanzong, Misty Valley, and Bixiaozong, as well as some Yuanying monks, wanted to mediate the fight between the two sides, in order to prevent the Hai clan from sitting in the southeast. However, seeing that the monks of the two factions didn't seem to want to accept the favor, they stood back and watched, and no one wanted to put their hot face on the cold **** of others.

What makes these old monsters feel strange is why at this time, no one from Hongyue, Xifeng, and Xuanshan came forward to mediate this matter?

Although Zhang Shiping practiced quietly in the Green Bamboo Valley, he was not ignorant of the outside world.

In recent years, the news discovered by Xuanyuanzong will also be sent to the Cuizhu Valley on purpose. In addition, there is also the Zhang family who opened the door to do business. The news, after sorting it out, naturally fell into Zhang Shiping's hands. But these big things, he can get it just by looking at it, and it's not something that a Golden Core cultivator like himself can get involved in.

…

…

one year, two years...

five years, ten years...

twenty years...

The heaven and the earth flow in four seasons, and the vegetation is more or less withered.

Time flies, it seems like yesterday.

In the Chongling Mountains, in the Zhang Family Cemetery, Zhang Shiping stood in front of an old grave, holding a stack of yellow paper, placing it on the tombstone, and pressing it with a clod of soil. Then he poured three cups of rice wine, burned incense, and stood speechless. for a long time!

After an hour or two, Zhang Shiping walked out of the cemetery. A middle-aged monk with long beard was standing guard outside the cemetery. As soon as he saw Zhang Shiping coming out, he bowed and saluted: "Heng Ren pays homage to the ancestor."

"Don't be too polite, didn't I tell you that you don't have to wait here anymore?" Zhang Shiping looked at Zhang Hengren, the younger generation of his family recommended to him by his father before his death, and said that he was selfless and sincere. Over the years, he has done really well, and he is worthy of Zhang Tongan's entrustment and Zhang Shiping's attention.

"Just finished dealing with the matter at hand, I heard from the servant guarding the mausoleum that the ancestor is still there, so I came over to have a look." Zhang Hengren said solemnly, in the family cemetery, naturally one should not be frivolous and impetuous, but should be solemn.

"How is the family doing recently? If there is any difficulty, just tell me, I will handle it here!" Zhang Shiping and Zhang Hengren walked under the stone archway in the cemetery.

"There are no difficulties, but there are a few good things." After Zheng Hengren left the cemetery, he said that those younger generations in the clan had a smile on their faces.

The two of them walked down the long bluestone steps slowly, one in front of the other In these years, Zhang Shiping, apart from getting his own piece of enshrined spirit stone from Xuanyuanzong every year, Every five years, Xuanyuanzong will give each Jindan monk an extra Foundation Establishment Pill. And Zhang Shiping exchanged some of the Golden Core Elders for the Foundation Establishment Pill in their hands.

These Jindan Taoist friends were born as casual cultivators, and they don't like **** with men and women. They are alone. The Foundation Establishment Pills in their hands are useless, otherwise there is no reason why there are too many Foundation Establishment Pills?

With the establishment of foundation pills, the Zhang family has increased not only the number of monks in the Qi training period, but also five more monks in the foundation establishment period over the years, gradually gaining the atmosphere of the Jindan family.

After leaving the cemetery, the two sat down in a stone pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and Zhang Shiping and Zhang Hengren talked for a while.

At dusk, Zhang Shiping got up and flew towards Cuizhu Valley.

…

…

After a short while, Zhang Shiping had already flown outside the ten thousand bamboo magic circle in Cuizhu Valley, he did not directly enter the magic circle, but flew down slowly, towards a stone pavilion outside the magic circle which was used to welcome guests go.

A man and a woman sitting in the pavilion looked like they were in their 30s or 40s, but in the world of cultivating immortals, one can't judge someone's age based on their appearance alone. Some immortal cultivators who practice Dead Wood Jue, even if they are thirty or forty years old, look like they are seven or eight years old, while some immortal cultivators who are good at protecting their faces, even if they are hundreds of years old, look closely , also like a teenager Shaoai.

When the two saw Zhang Shiping approaching, they quickly got up and walked out of the pavilion.

Jin Siming, a middle-aged foundation-building man in a blue shirt, said respectfully after seeing Zhang Shiping, "Siming pays homage to Master Zhang."

But Zhang Shiping didn't even look at him, but said to the woman next to him: "Why did you think of Master today?"
