Chapter 43 Inquire into the situation
On the border of Zhao State, Zhang Zhiping was lying on his back on the ground in a large shape, his eyes greedily looking at the sun, and his mouth was "snorting" and panting, absorbing fresh air. I'm dizzy, this underground is really uncomfortable, and the next time he encounters this situation, he would rather break in directly than go underground again.
I didn't dare to stay longer, so I first left here and found a sunny and green grassy meadow, and lay lazily on it for a day, until I reluctantly got up at night, and found a flat place everywhere to meditate and recover my mana.
At dawn the next day, Zhang Zhiping stood up refreshed, and planned the route of Zhao Guo in his heart, and he had to go to Fang Market here first.
Zhang Zhiping had never been to Zhao State, although he had a map given by Xuan Songzi in his hand, but it only recorded the general terrain and some immortal cultivation forces that existed for more than a hundred years, and the rest was gone. If you want to cross the country of Zhao with a map, you really don't know how many wrong times you have to take the wrong road and how much time you have wasted to do it. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the Fang market here to learn about the details of the Zhao Kingdom, and it is best to get a detailed map.
The country of Zhao is connected to the grassland, and the largest sect here is the Earth Qi Sect, which is good at formations, and has resisted the invasion of the grassland with the power of one sect for hundreds of years, which can be said to have made a great contribution to the stability of the five countries. In fact, the five major sects are not too comfortable in the world of cultivating immortals in the five countries, and the Earth Qi Sect is threatened by the grassland; Qingsongmen and Yaowang Valley will encounter a beast tide every thousand years; the location of Chiyunmen is the most barren, and evil cultivators and demon cultivators emerge in an endless stream; and the Mingyue faction is better, but the sect is full of female disciples, and the number is the smallest among the five major sects, and next to it is the Jin Kingdom, which is adjacent to the immortal cultivation sect of the Royal Beast Sect.
The five major factions have always been watching and helping each other and sharing resources, so that they can survive in this barren place, even now, the five major factions have not completely torn their faces, and they have hardly made a move during the foundation building period. As for the damage of some disciples in the Qi cultivation period, it was not in the eyes of the five major sects at all. Otherwise, with the joint efforts of the four major factions, the Qingsong Gate would have been destroyed long ago.
Changed his appearance at will, changed his breath, and walked through a quarantine prohibition, Zhang Zhiping entered the market. This Fang City is not far from the Zhou State, originally because of the perennial trade with the Zhou State to establish it, and now some monks see that it is more profitable to go to the Guankafang City on the border of the Zhou State, so they have gone there, so this Fang City is also a little depressed for a while.
The market is not big, and it can accommodate 5,000 monks to live here, Zhang Zhiping walked around casually, and then came to a small shop called Moxiang Pavilion. Moxiang Pavilion is engaged in all kinds of exercises, and also buys all kinds of jade slips, this place is just a branch, and the head office is in Zhao Guoxian City.
There was not a single guest in the Moxiang Pavilion at this time, and the guys in the store were all lazy, and when they saw Zhang Zhiping coming in, they immediately cheered up and ran over and said, "What do the guests need?" We have the most complete exercises here, and there are matching exercises with various attributes, whether you are a three-spirit root or a two-spirit root, you can find the most suitable exercises from it." Moreover, the cultivation exercises from Qi cultivation to foundation building are all complete, even if you want the exercises of the Jindan period, we can find them for you!"
Zhang Zhiping looked at these exercises with interest, he now has four thousand spirit stones on his body, and the exercises here, only about two hundred spirit stones are needed in the Qi training period, and thousands in the foundation building period, the spells are relatively cheap, one to dozens of spirit stones are available, but you can buy a lot. So he looked at it carefully, and picked out everything he hadn't seen before, and he selected more than a dozen exercises and dozens of spells, which were worth about three thousand spirit stones.
The guy didn't expect to receive such a big business now, so he happily copied it for Zhang Zhiping. Zhang Zhiping watched from the side and said casually: "I just came out of the family to buy, how do you feel that it is very depressed here." ”
The guy buried his head in copying the jade slip, and said without raising his head: "It's not that Zhou Guo is making trouble, they all went to the checkpoint to do business." ”
"Oh, now Zhou Guo is making a lot of spirit stones?"
"Of course I made it, and now a lot of casual cultivators have come over, and there are a lot of conflicts with the exhibitors here!"
"Really? I'll have to be careful. By the way, I'm going to walk around after I finish purchasing, do you have a map here? It's better to be more detailed, so that I can mark the map of all the large and small forces in Zhao for nearly a hundred years, so as not to collide with anyone at the time. Zhang Zhiping finally revealed his purpose.
Hearing this, the guy raised his head and glanced at Zhang Zhiping, and said in surprise: "Fortunately, this place is far away from the grassland, and you don't look like a grassland person, otherwise I would have to ask someone to arrest you." ”
Zhang Zhiping was stunned for a moment, and the man continued: "It seems that you are really a young master who has just gone out, our Zhao Kingdom is invaded by the grassland every year, how can there be such a detailed map to provide an offensive route for the grassland people?"
Zhang Zhiping suddenly realized, and then said helplessly: "Then I can't run around in confusion, do you have any way?" He saw that the Zhao Kingdom had been invaded by the grassland all the year round, and the monks were very vigilant, and some words might as well be said.
"You can always follow the official road, except for those casual cultivators who ask for money and don't want their lives, it's still safe. ”
"Yes, I still want to go to Liang Guo to have a look! I heard that the Yue faction is full of female cultivators, and the male cultivators there are really happy!"
When the guy heard this, he immediately became interested, and talked happily with Zhang Zhiping, treating Liang Guo as a legendary holy place, and clearly explaining the difficulties, forces, and dangers encountered along the way. It is forbidden for the guy to peek at the exercises in the Moxiang Pavilion, but all kinds of miscellaneous studies are not forbidden to watch, and the guy reads those humanities and geography books here all the year round, but he understands the situation of Zhao State clearly.
At this time, the guy also copied all the jade slips, but the two of them were still chatting a little unfinished, this guy is well-informed, and he actually said a lot of secrets in the immortal cultivation world to the head of the Tao, to the point, Zhang Zhiping couldn't help but be interested, and asked the guy: "What's your name? Seeing that you have a mid-stage cultivation of qi, why don't you go to cultivation and be a buddy here?"
The guy smiled and said, "My name is Wang Qinian, and this branch is presided over by my father, so I will follow as a buddy." ”
"What a familiar name. Zhang Zhiping thought about it for a long time and didn't expect to hear this name from anywhere, but he still said: "Your name is very good, I think you will definitely be able to become a high-level monk in the future." ”
Wang Qinian grinned and didn't reply, Zhang Zhiping also smiled when he saw this, and left.
When he met an interesting person, Zhang Zhiping walked on the road happily, although he can't say that he knows Zhao Guo well, but at least he can barely walk down the road to Liang Guo.
It's just that as soon as he got out of Fang City and walked on the official road, Zhang Zhiping's good mood was ruined, looking at the two groups of people who were merging, one group of five, one group of three, but one of the three of them, there was a female cultivator in the group who was actually a monk of the alien spirit root, extremely powerful, and the three of them crushed the five of them to death. He thought depressedly: This official road is too dangerous, right?
Zhang Zhiping hadn't decided whether to wait for a while and wait for them to finish fighting before leaving, or just bypass it, when the group of five people saw someone coming, they immediately rejoiced: "Daoist friends, come and help, we are disciples of the Earth Qi Sect, and these three people are from the Qingsong Sect!"
