Chapter 443: The Whale Beast Ship
Although Tiantai Peak has an average spiritual vein level, the terrain is extremely majestic, and it is also a rare mountain in the Southern Wilderness.
Since the first ancestor of the Zhang family, Zhang Tairen, occupied this place, it has been in business for four hundred years.
However, compared to more than a hundred years ago, the changes here are not very large, although the number of monks of the Zhang family has tripled, but most of the strength has moved to Black Mountain and Lingjing Mountain. Important places such as the family treasury and the scripture pavilion have been moved out, and now the most important place here is the family cemetery, and the number of monks on the mountain is not large, only more than 40 people, half of whom are old people who are dying.
However, under Tiantai Peak, the population is slightly denser.
In recent years, the Zhang family has made every effort to manage the triangle of Lingjing Mountain, Ten Thousand Snake Caves, and Tiantai Peak, opened up a large number of strongholds, and also reclaimed a large amount of farmland. The triangular area formed by these three spiritual veins is already very densely populated, and in this small area alone, it is as if you have come to the Qi country.
Today, the population of the Zhang family has exceeded 300,000, and with the population of other surnames within the territory, the population under the control of the Zhang family has exceeded 500,000. This scale has surpassed the Taibai Mountain of the Liu family.
At the top of Tiantai Peak, the two monks had been waiting for a long time, one of them looked very old and didn't have much time, and the other was in the prime of life.
The old monk's name is Zhang Yuanzheng, and he has been cultivating to the ninth level of qi cultivation for many years, because his ancestors have not accumulated, and he has not enough opportunities, so he does not dare to take risks and rush through the level, so he can only slowly waste the years, and the path stops at the realm of qi training.
The middle-aged monk's name is Zhang Guangliang, Zhang Yuanzheng's nephew, although he has given birth to a lot of children, but unfortunately there is no spiritual root among the children, fortunately there is this nephew to inherit the mantle, and the relationship between them is also like a biological father and son.
"Third uncle, it stands to reason that the beast ship will arrive this morning, why hasn't it come in the afternoon, do you want to notify the elders on the mountain, so as not to have an accident."
Zhang Yuanzheng shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry, it's normal for the beast ship to be late, Elder Sijin is in retreat, try not to disturb her if you can." If the beast ship doesn't come tonight, let's go to Lingjing Mountain, find Elder Zerui, ask him to communicate with Chaoyin Mountain, and then mobilize people to look for it. ”
Zhang Yuanzheng and Zhang Guangliang's uncle and nephew are preparing to take a beast boat to Montenegro, Zhang Guangliang is fifty-two years old, he is a monk of the Three Spirit Roots, and it has been nine years since he cultivated to the ninth level of Qi training, and the uncle and nephew have finally gathered three thousand good deeds, ready to go to Montenegro to exchange for Zhuji Dan.
Time passed quickly, the two waited all night and still saw no trace of the beast ship, just when the two were about to go to Lingjing Mountain to report the news, a black shadow appeared in the sky.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the huge beast ship slowly docked at the top of the mountain on a flat rock.
Soon, a monk immediately rushed over and poured the good spiritual rice that had been prepared long ago and the spiritual grass that several whale pack beasts liked to eat into a special food box, so that the big guy could replenish his strength and rest for a while.
The beast boat docked, and immediately jumped down the three monks, these three people were not members of the Zhang family, but nearby scattered cultivators, the three of them arched their hands towards Zhang Yuanzheng's uncle and nephew, and hurriedly left Tiantai Peak.
The whale pack beast is huge, once the wings are spread, it is thirty zhang long, as long as the whale pack beast waves its wings, it can fly dozens of zhang away.
Although the short-range outbreak of the whale beast is not as good as the flight of the monk in the foundation building period, when it comes to the monk who travels for a long time and is limited by mana, it is far less durable than the endurance of the whale beast with abundant physical strength.
Over the years, relying on the three whale beasts, the communication between the monks of Taicheng County and the outside world has become very frequent, especially with Jiangkou County and Montenegro, which has become very common.
A Qi cultivation period cultivator with a low cultivation level can also take a whale beast ship and go to a realm that he didn't dare to think of before.
With the frequent exchanges, the immortal cultivation world in Taicheng County has also developed rapidly, and in the past hundred years, the population of each family has increased, and even the monks in the foundation building period have increased a little more than a hundred years ago.
Zhang Yuanzheng's uncle and nephew boarded the beast ship to take a look and found that a large amount of cargo was piled up in the cabin, and according to their estimates, the weight was at least a few thousand catties or more. If you want to carry these goods in a third-order storage bag, you need to prepare at least five or more.
In addition, above the cabin, there were more than thirty low-level monks sitting crowded, except for the monk who controlled the beast ship, the cultivation of the rest of the monks was not high, and the ninth-level cultivator of Zhang Yuanzheng's uncle and nephew was also like a rarity.
The beast ship flew thousands of feet in the air, and the strong wind hit everyone's faces, as if it had been slashed by a knife.
In order to load more goods and save costs, there is no prohibition on defending against strong winds on the beast ship, and ordinary mortals will not survive a day when they sit on the beast ship.
Fortunately, the people who took the beast boat were all monks with strong physical bodies, so they could persevere in this environment, but compared to Zhang Zhixuan's generation who ventured deep into the Southern Wilderness, it was easier to take a boat.
After more than 20 days of hard work, Zhang Yuanzheng's uncle and nephew finally came to Montenegro. Montenegro is also the terminal of this beast ship, and most of the goods on the beast ship are also transported to Montenegro.
As soon as a few people got off the boat, they saw several monks who had boarded the boat from Shadowless Mountain put on white filial piety clothes and walked up to the top of Black Mountain with expressionless faces.
Zhang Yuanzheng saw a few people walking towards the Ancestor's Cave Mansion, and instantly thought of something, and his face suddenly changed: "It seems that the Su Family's Su Ancestor is gone, and I don't know if the two families of Shadowless Mountain and Jiufeng Mountain will split after Su Ancestor leaves?" ”
In the decades since Su Heng occupied Shadowless Mountain, he has developed this spiritual vein well, and there are more than three thousand mortals on the mountain, and there are more than a dozen monks, including Su Ziyuan, a disciple of his sixth-layer foundation.
However, after all, Shadowless Mountain is in the Southern Wilderness, and the climatic conditions are relatively harsh, far inferior to the other Spirit Vein Nine Peaks Mountain occupied by Su Heng.
Su Heng's cultivation is very high, he has cultivated to the ninth layer of foundation building as early as many years ago, and after he failed to open up the Purple Mansion, he devoted himself to cultivating disciples. In the last few decades, two foundation building period monks were supported, one of whom was his disciple Su Ziyuan, and the other was his blood relative, his grandson Su Lianghan.
However, Jiufeng Mountain and Wuying Mountain are separated by tens of thousands of miles, and without Su Heng, the ancestor, suppressing them, the relationship between the two families is afraid that it will be difficult to manage.
After the monks of the Su family came to Montenegro, Qingchan immediately quietly escaped from the mountain and passed the news to Zhang Zhixuan, who was in retreat in Lingjing Mountain.
Receiving this news, Zhang Zhixuan suddenly felt a little sad.
In the family of Taicheng County that year, several patriarchs had passed away, and even Su Heng, who joined later, also ushered in this day.
The earliest five families in Taicheng County, now only the Zhang, Wu, and Liu families can be inherited, the Ma family was wiped out in the battle of Chaoyin Mountain, and the Zhu family in Liucheng was also unable to defend Lingshan after Zhu Hun sat down, and became the lowest Qi training family.
Even the Hu family and the Su family, who entered Taicheng County halfway, also rose and fell, drifting with the tide.
The Hu family was wiped out by the Hongshan Sect, and only a few monks escaped, and after the Su family sat down, they were afraid that they would inevitably split, and if one was not handled well, they would even fight in the same room and cause a civil war.
