In the surging spiritual tide, the clouds and mist rose into the sky.

Condensed at the top of this water moon cave and turned into raindrops.

So in the entire Shuiyue Cave, it rained like this.

How much spiritual power a soul real person has, Tang Zheng didn't know.

But he knew that at this moment, Luo Hanzhen had returned his lifelong cultivation to this world.

It took a long time for the tide to dissipate.

When the spiritual tide dissipated, the clouds and rain stopped, and Luo Hanzhen was no longer seen in front of Tang Zheng's eyes, except for a purple shirt and that wine jug.

Maybe it's because of the cave waiting for death, there is nothing else besides this.

But the flask looked distinctly extraordinary, and it was a treasure.

Tang Zheng was not moved, stepped forward to put away the purple shirt and wine jug, and then walked out of the stone steps and walked towards the thousand-year-old field.

This was the first time he had walked out of the stone steps, and according to the rules of the Water Moon Cave Heaven, cultivators who entered the cave were not allowed to go up the stone steps, just like the disciples of the Nongtang were not allowed to go up the stone steps, although they were in the same place, they were separated by two worlds.

But at this moment, Tang Zheng broke the rules.

Because he wants to fulfill his promise, collect Luo Hanzhen, and send him to the end.

Even though he only got a long shirt, he should also stand on a mound of clothes.

The mound of the Moon Washing Sect is a hillside in the middle of the mountain.

There are countless tombstones densely lined here, which were collected by the disciples of the Nongtang in the past, but this time it is an exception.

Those peasant disciples didn't interfere, they just stood aside and watched Tang Zao walk through the long field with his clothes in his hands.

Tang Zheng walked very slowly and lightly.

Just like that, I walked all the way to the tombs.

Zhao Hui stepped forward and pointed to one of the tombs and said, "This is the location of Luo Zhenren." ”

If there was no Tang Tribulation, Luo Hanzhen might have returned to the ruins directly here.

Dead here, well-dressed in the ground, and crisp and neat.

Now it is an extra trip to see off the filial son.

Tang Zheng walked to the tomb and put the purple shirt wine jug in.

One of his disciples stepped forward to fill in the soil, but was taken over by Tang Zheng and said: "I promised my seniors to see him off, so I'll do it." ”

Several Nongtang disciples leaned back together, and Tang Zheng filled in the soil one by one.

When the filling is level, and then the tombstone is erected, after the completion of a qiē, Tang Zheng respectfully kowtows to the grave three times in a row.

After completing this qiē, Tang Zheng took a long breath and said, "Thank you for not stopping me. ”

Zhao Hui hurriedly said: "Senior brother personally sent him to the end, how can we stop each other." However, when you leave the stone platform and step onto the hillside ground, you will eventually break the rules, and I can't help but report it. ”

"It doesn't matter. Tang Zheng nodded and replied, "Senior brother is just doing his duty." ”

According to the rules of moon washing, if you leave the stone platform without authorization, if there is no theft, you will be punished with at least 3,000 contributions, that is to say, you will directly reduce the time by ten days, even if you need to send it to the end, the rules are the rules, and these ten days must be deducted.

Sure enough, that day and night, the monkey appeared, made a mark on Tang Zheng's eyebrows, and told him that he had been detained for ten days, and then disappeared. In fact, most of this monkey knew that Tang Zheng had exceeded the rules, but he just pretended to wait for the disciple to report it, if Zhao Hui didn't report it, even he would be unlucky at that time.

Tang Zheng didn't care, he just continued to cultivate.

He had been in the Water Moon Cave for more than 70 days, and he could have been able to pass for more than 30 days, but there were still more than 20 days left after this deduction, so the next time Tang Tribulation was even more penance day and night.

As his cultivation deepened, his old Cheng became more and more powerful, and the decay of qi and blood gradually reached the extreme.

Tang Zheng knew that the day when the mortal body would die completely was not far away.

On this day, Tang Zheng was still cultivating, and suddenly felt a burst of depression, and there was a flower in front of him.

Immediately, the whole person could no longer support it, and fell softly to the ground.

He knew that this was a precursor to the dying of mortal bodies.

He just lay quietly, countless memories of the past flashing through his mind.

The scenes of the past flashed in front of my eyes, as if the old days were reappearing.

On Tang Zheng's "old" face, a hint of a smile appeared.

He closed his eyes, his heart stopped beating, and his chest stopped heaving, as if he were dead.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Zheng's body died, and his consciousness also fell asleep.

But Tang Zheng is different from others, he is a soul and a double body.

Even if the doppelganger actually died, his consciousness would not be depressed.

This made him a little different from others in this moment.

When the mortal body went to death, his consciousness did not fall into a deep sleep, but rose up.

Tang Zheng felt his soul leaping, detaching himself from his old body and looking down on him from the air.

He saw his own body.

Old, withered, stale, with a strong sense of death.

Yes, it was his body that went to death.

Tang Zheng clearly felt the process of the death of life, he watched the withering of his own flower of life, and watched this body step by step towards decay and death.

No one knows his body better than he does, and therefore no one knows the whole process of death better than he does.

At that moment, Tang Zheng suddenly had a kind of realization in his heart, and he had a more substantive understanding of the death of life. He didn't know what it was, but it was then that a gust of wind blew.

Brushing the "corpse" across the platform.

His silver hair fell out, and his old skin peeled off like an eggshell.

Bring up the dust and sand in the sky.

In the dust, Tang Zheng felt a strong vitality reviving from the dead body.

It was a power that had never been seen before, growing like a seed sprouting, and it was full of powerful vitality unlike the bodies that had died before.

Freshman!

The new birth of the spirits!

Tang Zheng saw that after the old corpse disappeared, a new Tang Zheng appeared, no longer aging before, but it seemed to have returned to his childhood, and even his head was much smaller.

Originally...... Is that so?

At that moment, Tang Zheng finally understood.

This is life and death!

This is life!

At this moment, the cycle of a life has actually been completed.

And in the process of contemplating this reincarnation, Tang Zheng has inadvertently peeked into the avenue of life.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Tang Zheng's body suddenly emitted a large amount of light.

His mind sank, and Tang Zheng on the ground opened his eyes.

"Whew......" he let out a long breath.

Where the body dies, the spirit is born!

At this time, the Tang Tribulation was finally reborn and completed the final transformation from mortal to spiritual.

The newborn spirit body is like a newborn baby, although it still retains the appearance of an adult, it is essentially no different from a baby, and needs to grow urgently.

Growth is always more difficult than death, and therefore spirits take longer to grow than mortals to grow and die.

This period is also the most important stage of reshaping the spirit body, the advantages and disadvantages of the external environment directly determine the future purity of the spirit body, the higher the pure process of the spirit body, the greater its strength and future development potential.

Being able to reshape the spirit body in an environment like the Water Moon Cave Heaven is undoubtedly something that every cultivator yearns for.

It's a pity that Tang Tribulation doesn't have enough time, and there are only ten days left to reshape the spirit body.

Ten days is too short for the long reshaping needs of the spirit body, and Tang Zheng can only smile bitterly and comfort himself: "It's better than nothing, and it's worth it if you understand a little bit of the way of life." ”

When the spirit body was reborn, Tang Zheng finally comprehended the way of life, so the moment his mind returned to his body, it also invisibly affected himself. The way of life is the way of vitality, so at that moment, this spirit body first has a vigorous vitality far beyond ordinary people.

In practical terms, it is a significant increase in lifespan.

It doesn't matter how many years a mortal body can live because it will eventually die, but after cultivating a spiritual body, the life span of a cultivator has meaning, first of all, the life span is greatly extended, generally reaching a thousand years.

Of course, this is a thousand years without loss, and years of fighting, secret injuries, and going mad while cultivating may all weaken the vitality.

In addition to this, some powerful spells may also be related to life force.

Because of this, a cultivator's life cannot be completely linked to the realm, and from another point of view, their life is a kind of consumable capital, and the longer the life, the higher the capital. As for the previous mortal body, it was not even qualified to consume.

Therefore, there are many people in the cultivation realm who have a high realm and a long lifespan, and those who have a short lifespan in the lower realm die of old age first, and the reason for this is that they have consumed too much of their own capital.

If Luo Hanzhen is true, he will exhaust this capital.

And Tang Zheng, he just had this new capital.

While reshaping his spiritual body and gaining a thousand-year lifespan, because of his enlightened life, his lifespan directly increased by two hundred years. This is just the beginning, and if there is a similar increase in the future, those who comprehend the way of life will be able to gain more life, and this is the benefit of enlightened life, which is simple and straightforward.

The thousand-year-old spirit body is just the beginning, and as the spirit body grows, the longevity will continue to increase.

Generally speaking, a truly complete spirit body can be raised to about 1,800 years of longevity for ordinary cultivators, and if it grows into a complete body in this Water Moon Cave Heaven, it can be increased by 30 percent, that is, 2,400 years of life; as for those who have comprehended a little life path like Tang Zheng, they can raise it by another 20 percent, that is, about 2,900 years, and if they take some elixirs to increase their lifespan, they will reach 3,000 years of life.

It's a pity that this can only be thought about after all.

The Three Tribulations also have a title called Thirty Years Tribulation, which means that this tribulation would take thirty years to survive under normal circumstances.

It takes five years for a mortal body to die and twenty-five years for a spirit to grow from death to life.

Twenty-five years is the twenty-fifth year of life, that is, the youngest and most glorious moment of a person, that is, the complete spirit.

Tang Zheng was able to go from birth to death in sixty days in Shuiyue Cave, or with the blessing of three elixirs, now that the medicine is exhausted, there is no time, and ten days have passed, and he can only take a small step in the end.

However, Tang Zheng has already completely thought about this, and no longer pursues the ultimate, the big deal is to stop at 600 meters, and practice for more than 20 years after going out. For cultivators, more than 20 years is just a snap of time, which is not surprising.

Thinking like this, Tang Zheng continued to cultivate.

Ten days will pass in a moment.

This day was the one hundred and three days that Tang Zheng came to the Water Moon Cave Heaven, and it was also the last day he was able to stay in the cave.

According to the rules, when the time is over, Tang Tribulation will be automatically teleported out of the Water Moon Cave Heaven.

Tang Zheng was still meditating on the platform.

Maybe it was because he knew that his departure was approaching, although Tang Zheng was cultivating, his mind was a little indifferent, but in fact, he was just quietly waiting for the arrival of the teleportation.

Little by little, time passed.

The long-awaited teleportation never arrived.

There is no sun and moon in the water moon cave, but there is light in the sky.

The light rises, and the light rests at dusk.

Tang Zheng watched as the sky darkened, the disciples of the Nongtang gradually dispersed, and he was stopped alone in the entire mountain, but no one told him to leave.

I was surprised in my heart, and after thinking about it, I finally said to the sky: "Disciple Tang Zheng, one hundred and three days into the Water Moon Cave, the time is full." I wonder why my predecessors haven't teleported away?"

In a moment, the monkey's laughter could be heard in the sky: "Hehehehe, if the time is up, your eyebrow mark will pass you away." Of course, if you want to leave, our family will not keep you. ”

Tang Zheng was stunned, thinking to himself that he had miscalculated the time?

But this is impossible, since he came to this cave, he remembers it clearly every day, and he is a person who has comprehended the way of wisdom, and it is impossible for him to even remember this kind of thing wrong.

Could it be that the monkey forgot to detain him for ten days?

But it couldn't be, he saw the monkey appear at that time, and said to his eyebrows that it had been detained for ten days.

Wait a minute......

A flash of inspiration flashed in Tang Zao's mind.

Taking a long breath, Tang Zheng said, "In this case, dare to ask how long the disciple can stay in this cave?"

The monkey froze for a moment, and then let out a sigh of "oops": "You kid is shrewd, this time you are asking the right question." Why don't you see your mark for yourself? ”

As he spoke, a heavenly light suddenly fell from the sky, and if that light had substance, it appeared in front of Tang Zheng's eyes, and gradually condensed into a mirror.

Then Tang Zheng saw that he was in the mirror, and his eyebrows were shining.

He clearly remembered that the flash represented the number of days he had entered the cave.

The brighter the light, the more days it takes, and it gradually dims with the time of stay, and when there is no light at all, it is the time to be sent out of the cave.

Just yesterday, Tang Zheng also felt that the mark on his eyebrows had dimmed to the point that there was almost no trace of brilliance, but at this moment, it was as bright as the noon sun, many times brighter than when he entered the cave that day.

"It's ......"

"Hey, hey, hey!" The monkey's cheap laugh sounded again: "Who else can it be, naturally it is Luo Hanzhen's contribution to you." ”

Despite the speculation, Tang Zheng was still shocked in his heart: "Senior Luo!"

The monkey said, "Do you think this righteous son is for nothing? Don't tell me you didn't guess. ”

Tang Zheng calmed down and replied: "I may have guessed a little at first, but after so many days, I haven't seen any benefits, so naturally I don't think there will be any more." I didn't expect ...... today."

The monkey laughed and said, "That's no good, but you deducted him for ten days in vain, aren't you resentful?"

"Resentment, how is it possible?" Tang Zai smiled: "I sent the last Luo senior, because I respected him for his life and dedication to the faction. Ten days of buckle, although I regret it, but my heart is comfortable. If you give it away and don't get the inheritance, you have to point to the sky and scold the earth, then it's better for such a filial son. Although I have been hypocritical and deceitful, I am mostly hostile to the outside world, and I will never do such things to my own people. ”

"Hahahaha!" The monkey's laughter finally became normal: "Well said, I watched you for a hundred days, but I had the intention to send you to the end, and I had no intention of asking for it, and I was also respectful to Luo Lao'er, and I had a pure heart, this party will reward you, so let's cultivate well, don't let down Na Luo Lao'er's heart." That old man has left a lot of contributions for you, and you can stay in this Water Moon Cave for three hundred days. With all this time, you will be able to pass these three tribulations no matter what. After the three tribulations, it is only as if you are waiting to reach the top of Shuiyue Peak. At that time, you can come forward and look at yourself, Luo Lao'er left a message for you there. ”

I see.

Tang Zheng also understood.

Obviously, Luo Hanzhen had already agreed with the dead monkey before he left, and he would leave his contributions during his lifetime to Tang Zheng and continue his time in this Water Moon Cave for him. But obviously, he also has to put Tang Zheng to some tests, if Tang Zheng ignores his orders, or complains and scolds without seeing any benefits, then there will be nothing. In fact, until the Tang Tribulation ran out, it was impossible for him to know that Luo Hanzhen had extended the number of days for him.

"But, isn't the contribution not transferable lightly?" Tang Zheng asked.

The monkey continued to laugh strangely: "Hey, hey, hey, you also know that it can't be transferred lightly." That Luo Han is really the first deputy hall master of the Blood War Hall, the only person who is in the Nineteen Heavenly Kui, this time he came to return to the ruins of the cave sky, and he is to do his last work with his life, his dying entrustment, how can the Moon Washing Sect despise it, and how can it be regarded as a light word. ”

Hearing this, Tang Zheng also smiled bitterly: "Thank you seniors for your advice." ”

"That's it. The monkey said lazily: "Originally, you couldn't go up to Shuiyue Peak no matter what, although someone asked me to take care of you, I didn't bother to pay attention to it." Now that you have this opportunity in the cave, you are destined to go up the mountain. In that case, let me give you some more guidance. ”

Someone asked you to take care of me?

The monkey had already said, "Remember, if you want to go up to the next level, don't wait until the three tribulations are completely over before going up to the top of the mountain." ”

"What?" Tang was slightly stunned.

The monkey ignored him and just continued, "The earlier the mountain is, the better...... If you can't reach the top, you must at least go up to the 750-meter high platform first. ”

After saying this, the monkey did not speak at all.

At a 750-metre platform?

Tang Zheng remembered Luo Hanzhen's words in his mind, and wanted to go to seven hundred and fifty meters with him to watch Yun Zu's handwriting.

Who this Yun Ancestor is, Tang Zheng doesn't know, but listening to what he reads is even more important than going up to the peak of Yingyuetan.

The brilliance of the imprint gradually dissipated, gathered between the eyebrows, and the non-kinetic thoughts were no longer visible.

But Tang Zheng knew that this light would continue to shine on him until he successfully crossed the Three Witherings.

He didn't understand the monkey's words, but he knew it wouldn't be a trick for him.

Since the monkey said that he would go up the mountain before the three tribulations were completely over, then he worked hard.

Although his current strength is not enough, every day, his strength is recovering.

From the moment the spirit body was reborn, Tang Zheng returned to the track of becoming stronger and stronger the more he cultivated.

Now he is still weak, but it won't be long before he can surpass his former self and step on the peak.

Looking at the top of the mountain, Tang Zheng's eyes were filled with infinite confidence.

PS: Tang Zheng is a secret hall and not a visiting hall, I'm sorry I wrote it wrong.
