Chapter 170: Zhenluo League
It took Zhang Yan three days to get out of the ravine in the belly of the mountain, and when he returned to the surface, a dirt road made of mud appeared in front of him.
After walking five miles along this road, he saw a market of about 1,000 people, mules and horses, and a fishy smell came to his nose.
His mana gathered his eyes, and when he looked forward, he could see more than a dozen scattered settlements in the distance, the small ones were about a few hundred people, and the large ones were only a few thousand.
Hugh saw that this place was far less densely populated than the state city in the Song Kingdom, and it was not such a rich and prosperous place, but he still saw that there were several spiritual qi rising from the flat ground, like straight smoke, condensing but not dispersing, obviously there were also cultivators staying here.
Such a scene is invisible to ordinary people, and only a monk like him can see it clearly.
However, he inquired in advance and understood that these people were not members of the Xuan Sect, but they were unwilling to be bound by the three sects, and came here to scatter their cultivators, forming a loose Dao alliance with each other, which was called the Zhenluo League.
This alliance is also quite large, and there are a large number of monks in the alliance, if they work together, it is enough to compete with the three major sects.
Zhongzhu Continent is bounded by Shaping Mountain, and the east side is the land of Pingtung, which is where the three major sects are located, with a large population, the essence of a continent, and the Thai half-hedgehog is gathered here.
On the west side, there is the land of the west of Pingxi, although there are large fields and vast mountains and rivers, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the people live by herding, fishing and hunting.
Zhang Yan didn't want to meet those cultivators, and he wanted to have more interactions, so he deliberately avoided them.
After a hundred miles, he pulled out the clouds, stopped and called out the mountain and river boy, and after recognizing the direction, he accelerated his speed and galloped in the direction of Kunyu.
After half a day like this, he had already gone deep into the inland land of Zhongzhuzhou, looking down from Yuntou Xiangxia. The land is boundless, the plains are rich in water and grass, large herds of cattle and horses are rushing, and the ice blue lakes dot the land like gem mosaics. The scenery is magnificent.
It's just at this moment. He suddenly noticed something wrong, stopped his figure, and silently took a closer look, and couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face.
He pinched the trick. Unfold the true light of the water line, and a light spreads out in front of you.
He gathered his eyes and searched inside, only to find that the long-bearded Taoist who had been trapped here a few days ago and the wrestlers who had been caught together had all disappeared!
Take a closer look. But when I saw a palm-sized insect with several pairs of large and small wings on its back, and its hideous shape was wandering there, I couldn't help but say, "It turns out that you are doing it here!"
This is the bloodline gold worm he captured that day, since he caught it, he has been trapped in the true light of the water line, he was supposed to live these days, he has already died in it, but he doesn't want to live well.
Not only that. The gang of people who threw him into the true light ate it cleanly.
After learning the truth, he didn't care about it, and was about to withdraw the true light of Shui Xing, but at this moment, the golden worm seemed to have noticed something. Suddenly, its wings shook, turned into a golden light and flew out, it was trapped for a long time, and now it broke out of the cage. Immediately flew back and forth, squeaking and hissing. It's exciting.
Zhang Yan saw it flying happily and said with a smile: "Okay, since you got out today, it is also the will of God, I will not come to arrest you anymore, let you go." ”
He flicked the sleeves of his robe and was about to leave, but the golden worm squeaked, and suddenly fell, stopped in front of him, and circled around him again.
Zhang Yan saw that this insect was not malicious, so he said, "What else do you have to do?"
The golden worm screamed at him again, and actually took the initiative to spit out a drop of round and thick essence blood, and then hung in front of him without moving.
Zhang Yan shot a strange light, this is this golden worm taking the initiative to confess to him.
He thought for a moment and said secretly: "Although this blood line gold worm was cultivated by the Demon Sect monk Yu Guyu, it is also an extremely powerful xenomorph flying insect, if it is suddenly released when facing the enemy, it may be able to play a miraculous effect, so it is better to accept it." ”
Of course, he would not refuse such a good thing sent to the door, so he no longer hesitated, and immediately stretched out his finger and smiled at this drop of essence blood.
Previously, there were hundreds of golden worms, but they were trapped in the true light of the water for decades, and they could not devour flesh and blood, so they could only devour each other.
However, it is also a blessing in disguise, the original golden worm can only act according to instinct, and this only one has also given birth to a bit of wisdom.
But it also didn't eat for a long time, and it was originally dying, until some time ago, Zhang Yan lost more than 20 people into the true light, which saved its life and made it feast on a full meal.
At present, not only has the strength been restored, but even the appearance has changed slightly.
After Zhang Yan collected this essence blood, the golden insect screamed happily, pulled the membranous wings behind him, and landed on his palm, and then curled up in a ball, his head and tail intersected, and he was motionless.
Seeing the appearance of this insect, Zhang Yan's heart moved, his eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly had a guess.
He smiled, took a green-skinned gourd, unplugged it, put it in, and put it away, leaving it alone.
He shook his hands and sleeves, picked up his sword again, and flew away.
It's just that he didn't notice that at this moment, in the sky, there was a small red cloud flying in, and a girl with a comb and a bright red dress was hiding in it, holding an iron mirror in her hand, and was shining back and forth.
At this time, she suddenly saw a flash of light in the mirror, and couldn't help but let out a "huh", and then stared at it a few times, her expression couldn't help but tighten, and she muttered: "The master said that you should be careful that the disciples of the Xuanjiao Sect mix into the land of Pingxi these days, this humanism is so weird, is it from Pingtung?"
She thought about it for a while, pinched the magic trick, and the red cloud changed, turned into a flying boat, stepped up, drank again, urged the mana, and caught up.
Even if Zhang Yan was in the middle of the flight, he still maintained a sense of vigilance, and immediately noticed that someone was coming.
He didn't think it was at first, he got up with a sword escape, and his speed was amazing, thinking that he would be able to shake off the person behind him in a moment at most.
But when he had been walking for half an hour, he saw that the man was still following him.
I don't know what the flying boat-shaped magic weapon is made of, but it can keep up with the light of his sword, and I can't help but be a little surprised in my heart.
He was amazed there, but the girl was even more astonished than he was.
This magic weapon of hers was created in the Zhenluo League, and it was specially used to investigate news, transmit letters, and travel thousands of miles every day.
It's those Yuanying real people, if they can't afford the magic weapon, they can't even catch up, she would have been able to catch up in a few breaths, but the Taoist in front of her actually only relied on a light, but she couldn't catch up with all her strength.
She has never been out of the land of Pingxi since she cultivated, even if she heard the elders and monks from other continents talk about the art of flying swords, but she has never really seen it, because she didn't recognize Zhang Yan This is the art of sword escape, she only thought that it was purely Xuanguang flying away, how could this make her not frightened?
After flying away for a while, her true strength was a little weak, and she hurriedly took out the pill from the sachet, took one down, and breathed a little, and her spirit was refreshed again.
But she couldn't catch up with this person, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and said secretly: "This person's escape skills are so powerful, but I can't stop him alone, if he is allowed to fly, I don't know what will cause trouble, so I should ask the elders in the door to help." ”
She stretched out her hand and wiped it, took out a flying talisman from the sachet, recited a magic trick in her mouth, and sent the talisman into the air.
Suddenly, a strange light flew to the top of the clouds, and then a cloud of crimson streamers burst out in the sky, even if the scorching sun was in the sky, it could not hide its brilliance.
At this moment, thousands of miles away, there are two monks of the Zhenluo League sitting on the edge of the lake fishing.
One of the young Taoists threw the fishing rod and saw the waves flying, but it was a fierce fish three feet long and full of sharp teeth in its mouth.
The young Taoist smiled and said, "Brother Ding Dao, I won again." ”
The Dao man on the side smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yang Dao's skills are superior, and Ding is not as good." ”
The young Taoist smiled proudly, shook the fishing rod again, shook the fierce fish down, and said, "Come again." ”
This person's surname is Yang Bingqing, he was originally a monk in Donghuazhou, he has been in Zhongzhuzhou for decades, in the past he had been a doorman under the command of the Jiukui Demon King, and later because he offended the Pengyuan faction, he thought that he could not stand in Donghuazhou, so he came here.
In the past, he had obtained a secret book above the East China Sea, and after decades of cultivation, he has now cultivated to the realm of Huadan, and he also has a considerable status in the Zhenluo League.
However, although he is a casual cultivator, he is often proud of his background in Donghua, and he looks down on the monks here, thinking that they just rely on the strange things that are abundant in this continent, and they can refine a few more magic weapons, so that they can gain some ability.
When it comes to the true deeds and the ability to fight in battle, there is no one among his peers who can compare with him.
If he also had such a rich cultivation in Donghuazhou, why did he hide all the way here?
The Ding Daoist beside him seemed to be preoccupied, and when he saw that the fish in his hand was unhooked again, he simply put down the fishing rod and said: "Brother Yang Dao, have you heard recently that the Lie Xuan Sect has set up a Dharma altar in front of the Pingdong Gully Road, saying that they are going here to preach. ”
Yang Bingqing disagreed, and said: "Brother Ding Dao is at ease, even though everyone in the Lie Xuan Sect has a big business, they are all people who are used to enjoying blessings, so where would they come to this poor country to endure hardships? I think most of them are rumors. ”
Ding Daoren shook his head and said: "Groundless, it may not be without a reason, it is always right to be more vigilant, within a radius of 30,000 miles, the alliance is all handed over to us and others, if something happens, it is difficult to escape the responsibility." ”
Yang Bingqing didn't feel disappointed, threw the fishing rod, and said, "Let's go, I'll go to inspect again today, what do you think?"
Ding Daoren smiled and said, "That's right." ”
While the two were talking, their expressions suddenly moved, and they all looked into the sky, and seeing the shining light, Yang Bingqing raised his eyebrows and said, "I guess I let Brother Dao say it." ”
Ding Daoren Huo Ran stood up and said in a deep voice: "Look at that news, it should be sent by Situ Niangzi, and even she can't stop it, presumably the merit of the person who came here is very high." ”
The two of them glanced at each other, then said no more, and each sacrificed the flying magic weapon, and hurried to the place of light.
