There are not many ordinary people in Tianbei County, only a few hundred thousand, but the number of monks is quite large, even more than other counties in Ye Country.
After all, this county has a radius of eight thousand miles.
Although the entire Ye Country is not a place full of spiritual energy, Tianbei County, which has a radius of 8,000 miles, has a lot of first-level spiritual veins in addition to a few second-level spiritual veins, with a total of twenty-three. Excluding all immortals, The spiritual veins occupied by the sect, and the remaining dozen or so spiritual veins support more than thirty small cultivation families, and the Feng family is one of these thirty small cultivation families.
The Ma family, the Lin family, and the housekeeper jointly occupy a first-order spiritual line.
This first-order spiritual vein is located in the center of Tianbei County. The terrain is good. There are four first-order spiritual veins concentrated nearby, and oases cover the earth.
Thanks to this, the yellow sand in the sky is extremely thin in the center of Tianbei County. A dozen small cultivator families occupying the four spiritual veins, together with the four major families of Qi, Li, Wang, and Xiao in Tianbei County, are in the center of Tianbei County. A majestic city was built in this location.
This city is called Tianbei City.
In front of Tianbei City, which has a city wall of dozens of feet, a series of escaping lights were pressed to reveal the monks inside. As the place with the highest concentration of monks in the entire Tianbei County, the number of monks coming and going in Tianbei City every day on this day was like crucian carp crossing the river. Many monks from other counties were there. The monks can be seen everywhere.
Gu Qing, dressed in black, also arrived in front of Beicheng.
"The Liangyi Light Splitting Array, a third-grade formation, cannot be broken by ordinary alchemy monks. It is said that there are several formation masters in the sect who participated in setting up this Liangyi Light Splitting Array."
Gu Qing looked at the formations that enveloped the entire Tianbei City in front of him. The two light-splitting formations emitted a faint white light and formed a light curtain more than ten feet thick to block the wind and sand.
Within the formation was a giant city surrounded by green grassy moats on both sides. Gu Qing had rarely seen this giant city in his life. When he looked up, he felt that the city was more majestic than a mountain peak, and more numerous than a vast mountain range. A little bit alive.
This place is forbidden to air, Gu Qing stepped forward.
"Brother Guan's family is actually in such a powerful city."
He glanced at the monks on both sides. There was an endless stream of people setting up stalls at the city gate, not just monks, but also ordinary people. After entering the city gate several feet high, he saw an extremely wide street in front of him, full of traffic. The crowd made Gu Qing a little uncomfortable.
He wandered around the city.
After walking for less than half an hour, a group of monks in white drove a cloud boat and passed slowly above.
This team of white-clothed monks are all young, and their cultivation is in the middle stage of Qi refining. At this moment, they are looking at the crowd below with cautious eyes. More than one person's eyes fell on Gu Qing one after another, and then quickly moved away. open.
Gu Qing's footsteps didn't stop, and he was unconscious.
After he learned that he might leave Tianbei County in the near future and return to the Xianhe Sect, he changed his appearance and wandered around Tianbei County. He came to Tianbei City to find two people.
Guan Mo is far away from Xiu Xiu whom he met in Huaining County.
…
As a monk from an inconspicuous small cultivation family in Tianbei County, Matthew was setting up a stall at a street corner.
When he goes out, he calls himself a member of the Ma family in Tianbei County, and can chat with the monks he is not familiar with, but in Tianbei City, he can only behave with his tail between his legs.
Without him, he is just a side branch of the Ma family.
Even though he has reached the fifth level of Qi refining, the few cultivation resources issued by his family are simply not enough for his daily practice, so he can only continue his old profession.
Set up a stall, fool people, and earn some spiritual stones for cultivation.
Matthew Yuan thought he had some experience in this aspect. For example, the black-clothed monk in front of him could tell by the indifferent look in his eyes that he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
He watched with eyes, nose, and heart, and did not say even a single word of the deceitful words that came to his mind.
"How many spiritual stones does this wine gourd cost?"
The black-clothed monk asked with indifferent eyes.
"Twenty taels of spiritual sand."
Matthew responded honestly.
"Hiss! Old horse, you sold this gourd to me yesterday for two pieces of low-grade spiritual stone. Why are you only getting twenty taels of spiritual sand today?" The monk setting up the stall with the gourd on the side looked displeased.
Matthew smiled awkwardly.
The monk setting up the stall with gourds on the side was about to say something else.
The monk in black, who was standing in front of the stall with indifferent eyes, said something that made the two of them stunned.
"Twenty taels of spiritual sand? It's a little missing. These are twenty-one low-grade spiritual stones. Please help me, fellow Taoist, to find me twenty taels of spiritual sand." The black-clothed monk said.
With that said, the monk in black took out twenty-one spiritual stones and handed them to Xiu Xiuyuan, who took them blankly.
"this……"
Matthew came to his senses far away.
He raised his eyes and looked at the monk in black, and then at the spiritual stone in his hand. He was still surprised and confused, but he had already taken out twenty taels of spiritual sand from the storage bag.
The monk in black took the spirit sand, picked up the mediocre wine gourd, chuckled at Xiu Xiuyuan, nodded, and turned around to join the crowd.
"Mom, is there such a good thing? Lao Ma, I'm afraid this guy in black is the one you asked for, right?"
The monk setting up the stall with the gourd on the side exclaimed.
Matthew looked at the back of the monk in black from a distance, and suddenly thought that he had met someone in Huaining County.
In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed by.
Time is like running water, and the world will never have these seven years again.
"It's him……"
Xiu Xiuyuan, whose cultivation was still at the fifth level of Qi Refining, muttered to himself silently. He sensed the man's unhidden cultivation of the eighth level of Qi Refining, and quietly made a decision in his heart.
…
The south gate of Tianbei City.
On the bank of the moat, there is a water pavilion with carved dragons and painted walls. As the elegant and handsome middle-aged man in the pavilion plays the Yao Qin in his hand, the lonely music of the Qin plays and the waves of the water can be heard.
On the painted boats on both sides of the pavilion, warblers were singing and swallows were singing, and the monks were drinking and having fun. A figure in black quietly came to the fence of the painted boat, leaned on the railing, closed his eyes and listened.
Guan Mo seems to love this water and clouds alone.
It takes the meaning of the loneliness of heaven and earth, as if seeing the common people weeping and bleeding.
A moment in life is like a white horse passing by, suddenly. Listening to the sound of the piano, Gu Qing felt as if he saw the heaven and earth, and the eternal time scroll unfolding before his eyes.
"Who are you?"
The drunken drinker beside him frowned and looked at Gu Qing.
This person's words are like a drop of water, falling into the lake of the heart.
Gu Qing broke away from that artistic conception. He slowly opened his eyes and felt that everything was as new as before and no longer had the same color.
"passer."
He responded without turning his head.
Then with a step of his foot, his figure quietly retreated, disappeared on the boat, and left this majestic city in the north.
…
What is the path forward for the rest of my life?
We have traveled thousands of miles to the sky, but the mountains and rivers remain the same. My heart changes with the environment, and it remains the same for thousands of years. When I lean on the railing and look back, I can see it as a fairyland.
Under the vast snow curtain, the cold wind is as sharp as a knife, and it is even more powerful.
Cut out the flesh and scrape the bones, condense the blood and freeze the soul.
Sitting on the back of the Dragon's Back Goshawk, Lin Tingxue felt that the wind and snow were so unbearable for the first time. Most of her body had lost consciousness, so she had to use all the skills taught by Master Gu to resist and resolve the severe cold. This chill is incorporated into the divine palace.
She looked through the wind and snow to Master Gu, who was sitting upright in the hazy white aura.
A few days ago, they had left the place where bloody vines grew all over the mountains and fields. Master Gu said that they were going back to a place called the Xianhe Sect.
The distance between Lin Tingxue's eyes was so large that Gu Qing glanced back at her.
As the saying goes, there are no ugly girls in cultivation.
Today, Lin Tingxue has shed several layers of old skin, all the sunburns on her face have disappeared, and her face has become fair and beautiful. She has a pair of firm eyes with a bit of heroism. In Gu Qing's opinion, this woman's appearance has surpassed Most of the beautiful beauties in this world.
"What are you looking after Gu? Concentrate on your acupoints. If you don't freeze to death on the road, Gu won't care about you at all."
Gu Qing's cold words rang in Lin Tingxue's ears.
Lin Tingxue looked away and continued to run her skills, gathering cold air into her body. Her heartbeat became slower and slower. After an unknown amount of time, her whole body became like an ice sculpture.
In her Shenque acupoint, the green light of the Yin Talisman became brighter and brighter.
At a certain moment, a special force entered from the Shenque acupoint and poured into her limbs and bones. She suddenly opened her eyes, and all the ice and snow on her body turned into white air. A blue light was ignited on the skin of her body. Colorful ice flames, as she opened her eyes, the ice flames seemed to be burning in her crystal eyes, and the strange pain spread upwards from her abdomen, turning into a strange blue ice pattern, running through her neck to the His belly covered her body.
As this strange blue ice pattern formed, the lingering chill along the way disappeared.
Lin Tingxue realized that she was actually a little close to the cold air around her.
In addition, her heartbeat became extremely slow, several times slower than before, and there was a powerful force in her body that could be controlled by her mind.
At this moment, she remembered everything she had done in Fengling Kingdom before, as if she had woken up from a hazy dream. She felt neither joy nor sorrow, only a bit of melancholy and a bit of loneliness.
The world of mortals seems to be avoiding her.
"You have reached the first level of Qi refining."
Gu Qing's cold voice sounded.
He had already controlled the Dragon-backed Goshawk and drove dozens of times in the wind and snow on the edge of Tianbei County, waiting for this woman for two days.
"Master Gu, I..."
"You don't need to call me Master Gu. The Xianhe Sect is recruiting disciples this time. You can get started based on your own ability. If you want to join other sects, you can follow me. When you reach the next level, you can come to me and I will teach you the subsequent techniques. In exchange for your kindness, I only need you to do three things for me. Besides, you and I have no relationship whatsoever, let alone master and disciple. Gu is not qualified to be a teacher to others."
Gu Qing's message rang in Lin Tingxue's ears.
Lin Tingxue was startled.
The Dragon's Back Goshawk burst out of the snow with a chirp. Under the strong wind in the sky, Lin Tingxue closed her mouth tightly and lay on the Dragon's Back Goshawk's back, familiar with the power within her body.
Eight thousand miles pass by easily.
There was no words all the way, four or five days passed, and the sandstorm layer outside the Return Wind Valley was already in sight. Gu Qing led Lin Tingxue to disembark the Dragon-backed Goshawk and put the Dragon-backed Goshawk into the bell magic weapon.
As soon as he led Lin Tingxue into the sandstorm layer, Gu Qing noticed something. He looked back and looked up.
I saw a small cloud boat above that was escaping a little slower. Guo Zifeng's head poked out of the spiritual cover that enveloped the cloud boat and looked at Gu Qing, who was dressed in black below: "Junior Brother Gu, are you okay? I'm on this trip to Huaining. County, senior brother, I have picked up a few more fairy seedlings, why don’t we go back to the door together?”
