Chapter 176, ascending to immortals
Jinzhou is located in the southwest of the Tianyuan Continent, the land in the territory is barren, the mineral resources are also few, and it is not close to the sea, I am afraid that it can be regarded as the state with the worst natural environment and economic level in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 However, the county in the eastern part of Jinzhou is barely reasonable, and there are several thousand-year-old scenic spots in the jurisdiction, which attract many cultivators, and rely on the tertiary industry, especially tourism, to rank first among the seven counties of Jinzhou in terms of prosperity and wealth.
Of course, compared to strong counties such as Zhihuan County and Xili, the power is probably less than one-fifth.
Several of the places of interest in Lijun are mostly related to the Ascension of the Broken Realm. The history of the Tianyuan Continent is 17,000 years, and the time is long enough, so the recorded immortal climbers are also the number of vehicles, but they are scattered to various states and counties, and the number of places is quite limited, and not every immortal climber will leave a famous place.
Many immortal ascendants just left quietly, and at most gathered some disciples to come to watch the ceremony - it is said that only by maintaining a normal mind in this way can they successfully ascend to the immortal and not collapse in the middle way. In fact, the leap of any great realm may cause the madness - quantitative change into qualitative change, it is not so easy, there is no risk-free thing - ascending to the immortal in a sense, it is even more dangerous, if the world knows about it, countless cultivators gather, but the result is that the immortal failed, and he closed his eyes and didn't know anything, and the face of his own sect and sect was all lost.
It's better for me to go quietly and not take a cloud with me, even if I fail, the disciples can claim that they are just dying. Of course, directly boasting that the old-timers have indeed broken through the realm and soared, and there are many who have gone through a very satisfactory situation, anyway, there is no way to verify. Therefore, how many percent of the immortals recorded in the register are true and how many are false? No one knows at all.
There are also a small number of immortal climbers who are full of confidence in themselves, in order to smear the glory of the sect and leave the last legacy, when they are about to ascend, they will deliberately spread their names and invite fellow Taoists to come to watch the ceremony. Of course, except for a very small number of immortals who returned to the world after ascending to the world and guiding the younger generations (of course, most of them have no evidence) immortals, the rest of the immortals have never returned, and it is difficult to judge whether they have indeed ascended to the heavenly realm, or have been completely destroyed by the thunderstorm...... However, as the years go by, similar to the immortal ceremony has accumulated a lot, and there is always some experience to talk about, and it is easier for a discerning person to judge success or failure through clues.
For example, if this ascending immortal failed and left a corpse, then the vision of heaven and earth produced when he failed can be used as a lesson to a certain extent. Later, another one wanted to ascend to the immortal, but he disappeared without a trace, do you think he must have succeeded? The situation at that time was almost no different from the scene when he failed, and it was more likely that he was directly killed as ashes......
After the above-mentioned layers of screening, then those who have broken through the realm and ascended with great fanfare, and can be roughly judged to be successful, the number of famous places they left behind, most of which are places to ascend to immortals, is extremely limited. There are many places in a county, which naturally looks different and extraordinarily glorious.
In particular, looking at this famous spot, there may be one more addition......
The marquis of the county is not surnamed Li, but the surname is returned, relying on the many famous places in the county, the gathering of warriors from all directions, and the strength of the state is like a day. In the past dynasties of Jinzhou, seven out of ten were from the Lijun Gui clan. However, in the contemporary princely mansion, the highest realm is not the same family name, but the Gongzhong clan who has been married from generation to generation and is the head of the family.
Unexpectedly, Gongzhong Zigui, a master of the No Man's Realm, actually spread his name widely, and it is scheduled that at the end of this year, he will try to break through the realm and ascend in the Fengyi Mountain not far from the county town!
When the news came, it really broke everyone's glasses...... Oh, and it doesn't seem to have glasses in the Tianyuan Continent yet.
Gongzhong Zigui is ranked eighth in the contemporary no man's land, that is, the penultimate one, and is only a little stronger than the fragmentation. Of course, it was the ranking many years ago, and the update speed was very slow, but since he was uninhabited, he went to Fengyi Mountain to do penance, not to mention outsiders, even the children of the Lijun Gui clan and the Gongzhong clan could not easily see him.
The "Ascension Society" once wanted to recruit Gongzhong Zigui into the association, but several old people went to Lijun to inquire, but no one could tell which corner of Gongzhong Zigui was hiding in Fengyi Mountain. It stands to reason that if you fly to the top of the mountain, put a few qigong waves, and smash the ping-pong smash, Gongzhong Zigui will definitely run out, but the problem is really rude to do this, and it is definitely not a master's trip, so in the end I had to go back in a huff.
After a long time, the big guys are about to forget this person, even if he dies silently in Fengyi Mountain one day, no one will be surprised...... Even if Gongzhong Zigui succeeds in cultivation, according to general estimates, it will be at least thirty years later—if he can live that long—the leaders of Dugu Hate and Tang Ying will have to try to ascend first before they can get his turn.
However, the things in the world are so wonderful, and recently the envoys of Lijun have spread all over the world, and the same people from wide and far have come to Fengyi Mountain to watch the ceremony.
Originally, there were a lot of people invited, and those who heard the news and came uninvited were even more full of pits and valleys, and there were many people gathering, of course, it was impossible to go deep into Fengyi Mountain and find the seclusion of Gongzhong Zigui - it would definitely not be able to accommodate so many people. Lihou personally went out and chose a relatively open place in the mountain, and the disciples leveled the land, built a colorful shed, and helped the old family to make all the preparations.
The invitations were mainly made by princes from all walks of life who had a good relationship with the princes, there were about 20 of them, and these princes either came in person, or sent important ministers to come, plus the disciples who followed, there were hundreds of people. In addition, the eight no-man's realm and some of the no-self realm upper-level masters were also invited.
However, not all the masters of the uninhabited realm came, and the only ones who finally arrived at Fengyi Mountain were Zhong Zheng, Tang Ying and Hailing Du, who were the three people that Zhang Lu had seen in the Antarctic ice field through the time and space channel to connect the drunken world. As the prime minister of the dynasty, he naturally couldn't leave Beijing easily; Dugu hated perhaps because he hated Gongzhong Zigui for stealing his first title, but he just sent Gongzhong Huan, the head of the Liuyun Sect, to come; She Shicheng and Shao Kui had just explored the path of dual cultivation of art and martial arts, and their cultivation was at a critical juncture, and they would not retreat; there was also a jade boundless ...... Truth be told, no one knows where he is.
In fact, the no-man's realm in the Tianyuan World at this time is not nine, but ten, but the tenth person, Zhang Lu, knows that the only people in his realm are the elders of the "Ascension Society" and Dugu Hate, besides, I don't know where that guy went out to sea to make waves.
As Gongzhong Zigui, when others arrive, you can ignore it and hand it over to Lihou to receive them, but when the three no one arrives, they can't help but greet each other. It's just that it's just a good face, and apart from a few compliments, there's nothing to talk to. Zhong Zheng relied on his old qualifications and asked Gong Zhong Zigui side by side, what kind of opportunity did you get, or what way did you find to have the hope of ascending so quickly? But Gong Zhong Zigui just laughed, and he obviously refused to reveal the secret.
During the conversation, suddenly a disciple from the inner sect of Lijun rushed over, his face was shocked, but seeing that the four were uninhabited here, he didn't dare to approach, so he had to look at Gongzhong Zigui from a distance. Gong Zhong Zigui stretched out his hand: "What's the matter?"
The disciple took two steps closer and gasped and replied, "Senior Brother Bai was receiving the guests, and I just saw him retreat to the side, close his eyes and recuperate for a while, when suddenly he fell headlong and lost his breath!"
When Gongzhong Zigui heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly made a gesture to Tang Ying and the others, confessed, and ordered the disciple to lead the way and go to visit.
Zhong Zheng's face showed surprise: "What kind of character is Zigui so concerned?"
You are all people who are about to abandon the mundane and fly to the fairy world, whether the juniors are alive or dead, you don't even need to come forward, why are you so anxious?
Tang Ying thought for a while, and suddenly frowned: "Could it be that Bai Gongheng has an accident?"
Bai Gongheng is a disciple of the inner sect of Lijun, probably at the level of the first level of the selfless realm, and he can be regarded as a handsome for a while, but he is 108,000 miles away from the realm of Gongzhong Zigui - in fact, unless Lihou suddenly hangs up, Gongzhong Zigui should not have any waves in his heart. Only one thing is that this Bai Gongheng is the nephew and grandson of Gongzhong Zigui, and it is said that he has always been - before the seclusion, of course - and has always loved him.
So if a relative or junior suddenly had an accident, Gongzhong Zigui couldn't help but be surprised, and it was reasonable to go to find out. The problem is that Tang Ying is also a little anxious: "I don't know if Liyu will have an accident......
Zhong Zheng didn't react for a while: "What does this have to do with Ling's nephew?" Tang Liyu didn't follow at all, Bai Gongheng was a violent pawn, what does it have to do with her?
Tang Ying sighed, considered the words, and replied: "In the past, Liyu always talked to me about Li Yanchao, Feng Heran, and Zhang Lu, but later I didn't mention Zhang Lu, and changed it to Bai Gongheng......"
Hailing Governor immediately woke up: "I see, Bai Gongheng is not in this realm...... What happened here, so he fell without illness. I'm afraid that it will be dangerous to implicate my nephew and grandson......"
These two have never crossed over, but they have been with the traverser Zhang Lu for a long time, and it is impossible for them to be clear about the details of the Xuanqi Realm, but they still understand some of the general settings. At the beginning, Zhang Lu and the other four people couldn't talk about the north and the south, and they didn't have any opportunities to get along, but Tang Liyu often mentioned the three companions in front of the ancestor Tang Ying, and asked her where she met, and when something happened and a certain word came out, where was the specific place, but she was secretive and refused to answer. Tang Ying was old and refined, and immediately guessed that you had a great opportunity to be taken by the heavens and demons.
But recently, Tang Li met Tang Ying evenly, but in turn wanted to inquire about Zhang Lu's recent situation, and it was obvious that Zhang Lu had broken up with them. Between the conversations, in addition to her husband Li Yanchao and her friend Feng Heran, Tang Liyu had an extra "Bai Gongheng" in her mouth, and Tang Ying was naturally aware of it. It's just that even if Tang Liyu is not a narrow-minded person, she doesn't have any good words about Bai Gongheng in her mouth......
Now that Bai Gongheng suddenly "recuperated for a while", and then "fell headlong and lost his breath", Tang Ying would of course think: Could it be that something happened during the crossing?
The three of them stretched out their bodies and chased Gongzhong Zigui away like a wind. They arrived at the place where Bai Gongheng fell to the ground on their front and back feet—although Gongzhong Zigui's feet were strong, the inner disciple who led him couldn't run fast after all—and they saw a group of Lijun disciples in the distance. Gongzhong Zigui lined up the crowd and went in to take a look, only to see his nephew Sun lying on his back on the ground, his eyes closed, his teeth clenched, and he seemed lifeless.
Gongzhong Zigui frowned and bent down, but he didn't take Bai Gongheng's pulse, but reached into his arms, as if he was groping for something.
A person next to him stretched out his hand and patted Gongzhong Zigui on the shoulder: "What are the seniors looking for, isn't this thing looking for?"
Gongzhong Zigui raised his head and took a look, but he didn't recognize it, but he didn't see that he was not a disciple of his own mansion. This man is only in his twenties, and his appearance is vaguely ...... The left hand was raised high, and a bell hung from the little finger, and it was deliberately dangling there......
Tang Ying couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhang Lu, when did you return to the mainland?"
