The next day, Zhang Yaozuo bid farewell to Shen Liqi, and Shen Liqi arranged for several outer disciples to control the flying spirit beasts to send them back. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Before leaving, Zhang Yaozuo said a few words to Zhang Tianyou and Lu Wenting, and then took Chen Sanxing and them away on the spirit beast.
Zhang Tianyou and Lu Wenting have stayed in the Spirit Sword Gate since then and are under the jurisdiction of the Shen Family's Outer Gate. Zhang Tianyou and the Shen Zhanyi brothers are relatively close to each other on weekdays, learn from each other, talk about cultivation together, and have a very harmonious relationship. Lu Wenting and Shen Meiyan became friends, and the two stayed together all day long, playing and making trouble, but they were also very happy.
Zhang Tianyou has finished his daily practice homework, and he likes to stay on the first floor of the Lingjianmen Library to read. In the past, when he was in the Nanhe School, his father-in-law's collection of books was small and he had no conditions to read, but now that he has the opportunity, Zhang Tianyou reads books hungrily, and reads everything about the astronomy and geography of the Qingyuan Continent, ancient legends, strange stories, and so on. Through reading books, I have a certain understanding of the history and geography of the Qingyuan continent, the original mainland has five states, namely Beiguo Liaozhou, referred to as Beizhou, located in the north of the Qingyuan continent, there are eight counties, the area is unknown, only said that its land is tens of millions of miles long.
Dongyue and the state is also their own state, referred to as Dongzhou is a north-south narrow continent, only four counties area, slightly smaller than other states about 9 million miles in length, namely Sanhuan County, Full Moon County, Donghai County, Pinan County, its Donghai County is close to the sea, Shanhuan County is in the northwest of the state, Full Moon County is named after the shape of the full moon in the middle, Pinan County is south of the state as the name suggests, Tianshui River traverses Dongzhou, and flows into the East China Sea through the mouth of Donghaikou.
Xiliangchuan Prefecture is referred to as Xizhou, the source of the Tianshui River in the extreme west of the mainland, and there are 12 counties in the state, and the area is extremely wide and the area is unknown. Nanyelangzhou, referred to as Nanzhou, is located in the south of the mainland, which is 17 million miles long, wide in the north and narrow in the south, and has many jungle beasts. There are seven counties in the state, and each county is a big country of cultivation, and there are constant wars between each other for many years, and they are known as the Seven Heroes of the South.
Zhongtu Shengzhou is referred to as Zhongzhou, located in the center of the four states, there is a big lake called Milu Lake, there is a mountain in the center of the lake - Miaoguang Mountain, towering out of the water as high as millions of miles, the water surface is also up to millions of miles deep, there are nine mountains around the lake called Jiuhuan Mountain, eight waters surround, forming a central water world. On top of the water world, there are four huge suspended spirit mountains named Sun Spirit, Moon Spirit, Star Spirit, and Chen Spirit, hanging in the air, circling around the water world. The nine mountains are: Miaoguang Mountain, Zhishuang Mountain, Zhizhou Mountain, Danmu Mountain, Shanjian Mountain, Maer Mountain, Elephant Trunk Mountain, Zhibian Mountain, and Tiewei Mountain. The eight waters are: Mingyu Sea, Qingliang Sea, Ganxiu Sea, Jin Honghai, Tianshui Sea, Anhe Sea, Wuliang Sea, Jinsha Sea. There are nine counties in Zhongzhou named after the nine mountains: Miaoguang County, Zhishuang County, Zhizhou County, Danmu County, Shanjian County, Maer County, Xiangbi County, Zhibian County, and Tiewei County. The area of the state is only tens of millions of central water worlds, and the other areas are unknown.
Regarding the distribution of sects in each county, the book only mentions that the other three counties in Dongzhou have a Zhongmen jurisdiction, namely the Spirit Sword Sect, the Badao Sect, the Qinghai Sect, and the Baiyun Sect. As for the other Zhou County sects, the book warns that if you can't cultivate them, you can't talk about other sects in vain, and at the end of the year, you should remember it! Remember! Zhang Tianyou remembered that when Liu Wentai mentioned the Spirit Sword Sect last time, he didn't dare to say it, so he knew that this matter was a great taboo, but he didn't know why.
The second floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the cultivation method, which is varied, with many names, and the same is uneven, and the martial arts in the world account for half of it, and there is only a small part of the cultivation experience above the yuan level. Listening to Shen Zhanyi's words, the really good books are in the Inner Gate Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and there are mainly more innate peaks and Yuan-level beginner-level exercises here, and a very few Yuan-level middle-level exercises are also among them, but they are more chicken-ribbed auxiliary exercises. Borrowing here requires a certain amount of contribution, for example, you can read a book of exercises to complete a task of slaying demon beasts, and you can exchange a book of exercises with your own family's exercises, provided that there must be exercises that are not available here. In exchange for these useless exercises with his Nanhe Sect exercises, Zhang Tianyou resolutely refused, joking that his own was a remnant of the ancient gate, which was many times better than these ordinary exercises.
Zhang Tianyou saw that the set of Wind Thunder Mandarin Duck Sword Decision was also in the Yuan-level Meritorious Decision, but it was just to exchange the same Law Decision, of course, you can also go to the Trial Pavilion to receive a task of the same level, and you can watch it after completion, if it is taught by other disciples or elders, then the person who teaches it will help out the same Law Decision, or the same trial task, otherwise those who teach it privately will be severely punished. Zhang Tianyou said in his heart that it was so troublesome, it seemed that Uncle Shen didn't need to ask anymore, but the explosion of Yuan Force and the terrifying speed at the moment of the sword duel attracted him tightly, and Zhang Tianyou decided to go to the trial pavilion to see what equivalent tasks there were.
Just when Zhang Tianyou was in the Scripture Pavilion, several elders from the outer gate were looking at a psychic jade plaque with solemn faces, which read: The Fish Man Clan, which has appeared in the coastal area of Donghai County in the past hundred years, is generally six or seven feet tall, looks like a human, has eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, hands, and feet, but there is a tail like a snake behind him, five or six feet long, with white scales on the top of the forehead, and the hair on the back of the head is like a horse's tail, five or six feet long, and the hair color is mixed with brown. Black, yellow, the upper body skin and flesh are as white as jade, and the lower body has cyan scales, and they live on several islands formed by coral in the East China Sea, there are countless coral holes on the island, the caves are criss-crossed, and it is unknowable, where is their old nest, according to legend, they are the hybrid descendants of the sea winged snake, the fish man, the demon and some cultivators who are lucky enough to pass through the East China Sea to reach the island, their sex is the most lewd, there is no scruple between male and female, there is no concept of human etiquette, and they are extremely bloodthirsty, and they like to eat all kinds of fish and beasts in the ocean and mainland humans. They continued to go ashore to burn and kill and plunder along the coast of Donghai County, and the places they passed were almost white, and all the victims were eaten to the point that there were no bones left. The Qinghai faction of the Donghai County Alliance has failed several times to strangle, and the Guy Fishman Clan is born at the peak of the innate nature, and can quickly advance to the Yuan level, and is good at using water control methods and covert sneak attacks, coming and going without a trace, extremely difficult. Due to the heavy casualties of the outer disciples, the Qinghai faction regarded this matter as a great shame and kept it a secret. The disciples of the Dark Machine Pavilion of the Outer Hall of my Spirit Sword Sect have long paid attention to it, but because the East China Sea is far away from us, they have not paid much attention to it. Recently, the disciples of the outer hall found that many people were missing in the towns on the north bank of the Tianshui River, and it was suspected that the fish-people tribe went south along the coast of the East China Sea and flowed into the Donghai Sea through the Tianshui River, and invaded the wide area between the Xiannu Mountains and the Critical Mountains in Pinan County, along the river.
After reading this, several elders hurriedly called the deacon, ordered the task to be released quickly, and notified the deacons to summon the elite disciples to inform them of the matter and prepare for contingencies.
