Tang Ping planned to go to Danjing for a walk. Danjing had no strong enemies, and the highest level was only around the peak of Dinxia.
It can be easily handled without using all your strength.
So this time, it was not just as simple as being a disciple, he needed a higher status and access to stronger methods of alchemy.
Qiongdan Theology has been cultivated to perfection, and now his alchemy attainments should be similar to those of the Four Great Immortals, second only to the leader.
It's not that Tang Ping is worse than the leader Hong Chuan, but that the upper limit of the skill is this.
I originally planned to create my own technique, but after thinking about it, I still felt it was unnecessary.
Since there is an upward channel, there is no need to take detours.
Tang Ping was not in a hurry to go there and waited for several months to sort out the territorial affairs.
The current territorial coverage is about 100,000 square kilometers, with more than 8,000 large and small rivers.
The territory of 100,000 square kilometers, because the Yin soil is expanding little by little, some gods seal large ones, some seal small ones, and the shape is irregular. Some villages are similar to county towns.
Tang Ping used the realm master's sealing technique to re-divide the areas.
The land of 100,000 square kilometers is divided into three counties: Qunyu, Danyang, and Meishan.
Each of the three counties has jurisdiction over dozens of counties.
There are now thousands of gods, and Shinto is flourishing.
Among them, the God of Earth is the most noble, followed by the God of Water, and finally the God of Forest.
In addition, there are many more training sects.
Xi Jian Shan, Mei Shan Shui Shi, Xiao Xiang Gu Shu, Qi Men Dun Jia, and their branches.
Shinto and acquired cultivation methods will definitely flourish in the future, there is no doubt about this.
People in ancient times relied on blood, just like the ancient people on earth in previous lives, who boasted that they had the eyes of a bird, the speed of a cheetah, and the unique skill of flying a sword with a hundred steps.
These have all been realized by acquired technology. People not only have flying tools, but they can also fly with hundreds of people. The missiles invented can even kill enemies across thousands of miles.
Tang Ping did not worship the ancients. The ancient monks were very powerful, but they only knew how to use power, but they did not know what power was or how to create stronger power.
The reason why Dongyi became a large-scale merchant, and even became a serious problem for the Zhou Dynasty later, was precisely because they discovered this and went further and further on this road.
Gods and men in ancient times have always been getting weirder and weirder. As a god, if you don't have horns, no feathers on your abdomen, and no color in your eyes, you would be embarrassed to say that you are a god. The gods of later generations are becoming more and more normal.
Tang Ping clarified the divine connections and allocated territory to these sects many times to make sure that the interests of all parties would not conflict, and then he felt relieved.
Before leaving, he called for Peony Yao Ji, her two sisters, and Nv Chou.
These were his confidants, and he still relied on them to convey most of his news.
"I'll be out for a while. Soon, there will be a flame clone in the palace. If you have anything, just report it as usual..."
It's fine if Tang Ping doesn't say anything. Since he absorbed Shehuo, he can go wherever Fenhuo is and come back at any time. It's just a habit.
"Does the Lord need our company?" Mudan asked.
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter." Tang Ping shook his head and said it didn't matter. It was not a big deal. At this time, he suddenly looked at Nv Chou and said helplessly, "Nv Chou, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to cover your face all the time."
"Oh, the little god knows." The ugly woman put down her cyan sleeves, revealing her delicate face and the pink scar between her eyebrows, "I'm sorry, Lord God."
"fine."
Tang Ping found that this ancient god was simply a social terror. He looked heroic when casting spells, but once he returned to his original appearance, he would become extremely shy and cover his face all day long.
As for the scars between the eyebrows, they are not ugly at all. They are similar to the decorative lines between the eyebrows of ordinary people.
"By the way, do you know the news about the ancient Emperor Shun?"
"Shun? I don't know. Ten days ago in ancient times, there was a rumor that a star fell near the Yunmengze Lake. Some people said that it was Shun's power. Maybe this is true."
"Yunmengze Great Lake?"
Tang Ping found it a bit difficult to handle.
This big lake is said to be a lake, but in fact it is almost as big as the sea.
Chu State covers an area of 10 million square kilometers, and the large lake is about half the size of Chu State. There are countless ancient demons hiding in it. It is really difficult to find clues about Shun in it.
Besides, I'm not sure if there is a chance of resurrection even if I find it.
It is not easy to resurrect ancient gods. Most gods die naturally in their life span. In this aspect, gods are difficult to save. Only some experienced accidents and happened to be in a fixed state, otherwise it would be difficult to save them.
"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try." Xiaoming's eyes were firm.
"Okay, you ugly lady, please help me a lot. Also, you have to pay attention to the construction of the Witch Kingdom. This is a good opportunity to infiltrate Yunmengze."
Tang Ping did not take any of the two artifacts, Shigu and Shipenggui, and left them to Nv Chou. Although the artifacts were good, they were not suitable for his own use.
The stone drum is extremely powerful, but it has a single use scenario. It cannot be reduced or put into the storage bag. It is impossible to lift a stone drum as huge as a mountain every day.
After giving instructions, Tang Ping set off for Penglize.
Penglize is located in the east of Chu State, not on the coast, but its customs are similar to those of Dongyi.
The families and sects in Dongyi are greater than the country, and even the entire country is their slave, or there is no country at all, only sects and families.
Tang Ping flew in a low profile, no longer riding in dragon or tiger chariots, but only in auspicious clouds, and also flew covertly.
I encountered strange things on the road, monsters and beasts everywhere, and strange-looking savages.
Day and night, I don’t know how long the flight will be.
Most of the land below is covered with wild grass and dense forests, inaccessible to people. The mountains and plains are full of ownerless land, and there is still miasma in the mountains and forests.
The miasma is colorful and floats around in the forest, like a ferocious beast patrolling the world.
These things have existed for thousands of years and are extremely toxic.
Tang Ping suddenly smelled a hint of fragrance.
The green miasma ahead actually has a scent.
"Hey, no, this is not miasma."
This is obviously the rich green vegetation essence, pretending to be miasma. Those who don't know it think it is really miasma.
Tang Ping came down to check.
The virgin forest is very dense, and the trees are very tall, blocking the sky, making it a little dark below. There are thick fallen leaves under your feet, and a damp and decaying atmosphere lingers at the tip of your nose.
The shade of the tree in front is missing, and a ray of sunlight shines directly down.
There is actually a well below, from which the aroma comes out.
There are many ginseng growing next to the well.
"stop!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice shouted.
Tang Ping looked around and found the source of the sound three meters in front of him.
This is a thumb-sized male doll, very small, with rosy cheeks, wearing a rough green straw coat, which may be too short, and there is a hook that is too small to be seen underneath.
Seeing Tang Ping's straight eyes, the little doll quickly covered his hands and pretended to be fierce: "No playing!!... You... why did you come to our place? No outsiders are allowed to come in here!"
"It turns out to be a ginseng doll." Tang Ping put away his eyes and just looked at the feet. "I don't mean to offend you, and I don't mean any harm."
There were swishing sounds all around, and countless villains came to attack on straw horses. Even the trees on both sides came to life, trying to pull out branches to beat themselves.
"Don't even think about hurting my young master!"
An old ginseng man who was a little taller than the ginseng doll protected the doll behind him.
The grass, trees, and thorns began to riot.
Tang Ping stretched out his hand a little, and the grass and trees suddenly became quiet, and the people and horses disappeared immediately.
Only these two men are left.
"You...you...this may be a misunderstanding..." The old man suddenly stuttered, not knowing what to say.
I have never seen such a powerful person, who actually has the magical ability to control wood, and is even more proficient than the ginseng tribe.
"Yeah, I just said it was a misunderstanding."
The old man smiled awkwardly and said: "Yes, it's all because the old man is blind. The old man thought you were from Danjing."
"The people from Danjing are also around here?"
"Of course, they often come here to collect herbs. Recently, these guys have been looking for us like crazy, so the old man felt a little rude when he saw outsiders."
"Looking for you crazy?"
"Yes, maybe that old dog in Hongchuan was about to die, so he was rushed to the doctor because of his illness..."
"I see……"
Tang Ping found some good information.
He looked up and down the two ginsengs. If he took them back with him, he might gain the trust of the door owner.
But just think about it.
This is a spiritual creature from heaven and earth. I have a pure mind and it is better not to be ruined by some old man.
Tang Ping stood up and lightly touched the surrounding trees.
Click, click, click...
The trees became several times thicker, the bark formed iron armor with spikes on them, and the ground was covered with vines.
In this way, the vegetation becomes even more powerful after being activated.
"I won't disturb you anymore, go ahead!"
Wow!
Tang Ping flew into the sky.
"Thank you so much, Great Immortal. Where is the Great Immortal from? Where does he live? The little old man will come to visit you another day to say thank you."
"Tang Ping, Danjing."
As soon as these words came out, the young and old were stunned.
Soon, Tang Ping saw a mountain ahead.
This is a flat gourd-shaped mountain. The peak is not high and the terrain is extremely rare.
There are three waterfalls on the left and right.
Looking down from the sky, colorful smoke floats from the mountains. Many atmospheric creatures are chasing and devouring these things, as well as various flying birds. It may be because they have been devouring the energy of Danhua all year round. These Qi include good and bad elixirs, so each Strange shapes, increasing violence, killings every moment, and a large area of darkness.
Hovering in the sky, it's like a mountain-protecting formation.
Tang Ping fell down and reached the bottom of the gourd.
There are thousands of steps leading up here.
There are also large stone lions on both sides of the mountain gate.
Suddenly the lion came to life, its red eyes staring closely at Tang Ping.
"Who is coming?"
"I'm from Jade Cauldron, a member of Qingyun Sect." Tang Ping took out the iron plate.
The lion's eyes flashed red and he let him go later.
Tang Ping walked up the steps, and there were many people walking with him on the roadside.
Some people have horns on their heads, some have a strong smell of sulfur on their bodies, and some are wearing short clothes and carrying large and small bags.
Tang Ping saw the way out.
Generally, the robe has wide sleeves and is designated as a disciple. Those in short clothes and shirtless are generally servants and slaves.
Going further up is the mountain.
There are many simple stone buildings on the top of the mountain. The fragrance of medicine can be heard from time to time in the buildings. The servants come in and out. Tang Ping glanced at the houses that were not closed and found that in addition to the servants, there were many who were shackled and covered in pus. slave.
Could these be for testing drugs?
Tang Ping could guess at a glance.
Nine times out of ten this is the case.
Then follow the instructions of the stone lion to come to another area.
The terrain in this area is higher, and most of the houses are tower-shaped, with clouds floating on the top of the tower.
This place is where Qingyun and his disciples live.
Tang Ping came to the largest pagoda and knocked on the door. The boy opened the door after passing the message.
After passing through the winding stairs, we finally arrived at the top floor of the pagoda. The space on the top floor is several times larger than it appears from the outside.
There is an alchemy furnace in the center. There is a hole on the top of the tower, and clouds are constantly flying in and falling into the alchemy furnace.
Next to the alchemy furnace stood Qingyun, three young men in green robes, and five young men in white robes.
The one in green robe has a rosy complexion and his eyes are bright; most of the others in white robe are in poor condition and look pale.
Qingyun didn't say anything when he saw Tang Ping coming over. Tang Ping stood there waiting, watching Qingyun make alchemy.
His alchemy skills are pretty good and can be compared with his own.
Qingyun is good at using cloud energy to make elixirs.
Soon, the elixir was freshly baked.
There are five pills in total. The surface of the pure white pills has dark cloud patterns, which looks really beautiful.
Qingyun handed it to a man in white robes behind him and said, "Zhang Zhongqi, take it."
The man in the white robe looked ugly, but he still didn't dare to disobey and took it hard.
"ah!!"
The man's face was red, he was lying on the ground rolling around, and even vomited blood.
Qingyun's expression did not change, he observed the man's condition, shook his head and said: "The formula is still wrong."
"Carry him away and let him rest."
"Yuding, you are here. The master has an order. He is not allowed to travel this time. Violators will be removed from the list. Just stay well. Quartz, please make arrangements."
"yes!"
The older Qingpao disciple walked up to Tang Ping with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Junior brother, please come with me."
"Excuse me, senior brother."
Tang Ping left with Shi Ying and went to another pagoda to collect training supplies and clothes, and arranged a house by the way.
Standing in front of the house, Shi Ying said: "The rules of Danjing are very simple. The six wells at Hulukou are forbidden areas. Anyone who breaks into the house will be killed. The disciples in Qingpao are the true disciples, and the disciples in Baipao are ordinary disciples. The others are slaves and medicine men, and Baipao has to bear the responsibility. For part of the labor service, each person has a fixed elixir, but there is no share of the elixir."
Tang Ping looked at his white robe. It turned out that he was just an ordinary disciple. Judging from Qingyun just now, he might still be a high-level medicine man.
This old man is really an insatiable dog.
"Get used to it well, and feel free to ask questions if you don't understand anything."
"OK."
Tang Ping felt like he was in a trap.
Returning to the courtyard, which is a public area, there is another house next to it. A fat man in white robe happened to walk out, saw Tang Ping, and said familiarly: "You shouldn't come back, you would rather be seriously injured. It’s best not to come back.”
"Why?"
This fat man's name is Qin Jian, and he is also one of the ordinary disciples who has just returned recently.
"The leader of the Hongchuan Sect is about to retreat. The four great masters and the major true disciples will work hard to refine elixirs during this period in order to win over the sect leader. The casualties among ordinary disciples are extremely high."
Danjing's rule for choosing a sect leader is to use strength to speak for itself. Therefore, this period is the most intense, and it is also the time when ordinary disciples suffer the heaviest casualties.
"Only fight for elixirs?"
"That's the theory, but we still have to fight after the sect leader dies."
"Then I came at the right time."
"What?"
"It's nothing, I came at the wrong time."
In the next few days, more and more people came. The mountain gate was closed and no one could get out.
More white-robed disciples were also called to test the medicine, some never came back, and some came back looking bad.
The mountains and plains are full of the smell of Danhua.
This fat man is quite shrewd. If someone really comes to ask for someone, he will stuff the storage bag into it before he can say anything. The person will open it, smile, and leave.
"This is called being shrewd, haha. Just wait for a month and wait for the sect leader to hold a meeting."
