Longevity begins with loose cultivation

The double day hangs high.

On the dry and cracked ground, a figure walked alone.

Walking to a shady place, Lu Zhong leaned on the tree trunk, took off the hood to block the wind and sand, then took out a gourd from the storage ring, and poured himself a mouthful of ice spirit wine.

"Gudong Gudong..."

When ice wine enters the stomach, it will instantly cool from the top of the head to the soles of the feet!

"Cool!" He let out a long breath.

It has been more than a month since Lu Zhong came here. After some observations, Fang Tiandi has a preliminary understanding of this place. This spiritual world does not match his imagination.

Strong aura?
The concentration of aura in the air here is not high to be honest.

But that's nothing.

After all, the distribution of spiritual energy has always followed the phenomenon of diffusion. The highest concentration is near the spiritual vein, and the concentration in the surrounding areas decreases successively.

What surprised Lu Zhong was that his strength had dropped a lot.

When he was in the Qinghe Realm, he could easily fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and move mountains and fill the sea with his hands and feet. Huashen is synonymous with the power of heaven and earth.How can it be like this now, like suddenly returning to the foundation building period, and the shot can only destroy a hill.

It is also very difficult to fly.

Lu Zhong once believed that it was the reason for the stability of the upper bound rules.

But it wasn't until he used the Yang God to shake the vitality of the world here that he realized that his thinking was very wrong. With the help of the vitality of the heaven and earth, although his destructive power was not as low as the lower bound, it could still reach the level of the Nascent Soul stage, which was very suitable. The previous conjectures about the spirit world belonged to the normal level of power to transform into a god.

At the same time, this place attracts the vitality of heaven and earth, which actually consumes energy.

Such a strange situation made him puzzled.

"What's the problem?"

Lu Zhong pondered silently in his heart, thinking that this situation was unreasonable, most likely it was not caused by his "smuggling" behavior, it must be because of the existence of this world, some unknowable changes that weakened his own strength.

Or is it...restricted?
Specifically, in the absence of other information, it is probably impossible to analyze the results.

Lu Zhong had a good rest and did not set off.

Instead, they are going to dig a cave and prepare to spend the night here.

Don't look at the two round suns hanging in the sky, the sky darkened very quickly. When they sank into the horizon, dusk came soon, and the temperature began to drop so much that frost condensed.

At this moment, Lu Zhong had set up a bonfire in the cave and grilled meat skewers.

After a while, amidst the sound of sizzling oil and flowers, the smell of meat permeated everywhere, and when he sprinkled the powder, the aroma became even more intense, causing people to twitch their index fingers.

Picking up a bunch, he paired it with fire spirit wine and ate it with gusto.

Before you know it, it's the tip of the moon.

"here we go again……"

Lu Zhong suddenly frowned, ate up the meat skewers in his hand, put the wine gourd into the storage ring, and summoned the Zijin Extreme Fire to suck away the flames of the campfire.After finishing all this, he took out a dozen evil talismans, pasted them around the cave wall, and sealed the road restriction at the entrance of the cave.

Not long after, there was the sound of flapping wings in the air nearby, accompanied by bursts of howling.

At this time, the darkness became thicker.

At the same time, all the exorcism talismans lit up, emitting a soft golden light, illuminating the dirty things in the dark, and one could vaguely see grimaces, distorted, hideous and terrifying.

"Crack!" There was a crashing sound.

Lu Zhong turned his head to look at the entrance of the cave, and found that something bumped into the restraint and stuck directly on it.

Seeing that it couldn't get in, Lu Zhong simply ignored it.

Sitting cross-legged on his own, quietly waiting for the matter to pass.

After half an hour, the darkness gradually receded, and the bright moonlight fell down.For some unknown reason, there are nine moons hanging high tomorrow, but the moonlight is extremely dim. Even though it is a full moon night, it is still impossible to see outside.

At this time, Lu Zhong had come out of the cave.

That kind of weird thing happened just now every night. At the beginning, he even made a move, but after he dealt with nearly a thousand ghosts and got very little harvest, he gave up his mind and chose to avoid it by digging a hole just like before. It's over.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, although the size and color are different, it is still shocking to the bottom of the heart.

At this moment, Lu Zhong's ears moved slightly, and he heard the rumble of vehicles, mixed with the heavy thud and the brisk knocking of hooves, and there were faint voices of people in the wind, old and young, women and children In some cases, it looked like a large group of people passed by.

"There are laughter and laughter, and it doesn't look like a villain."

With a move in his heart, he decided to get in touch.

When it comes to collecting information, it is natural to communicate with people the fastest.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhong shot a firework of spiritual energy into the sky.

Showing up directly like this may cause trouble, but Lu Zhong has no other choice.You can't just follow the convoy all the time, and wait until something happens to the other party, and then come to help, right?
That seemed rather suspicious.

It's better to be so bright and aboveboard.

Not long after, there was a sound of running hoofs in the distance, and a group of riders with several bright lights flying above their heads appeared riding "free-range chickens" the size of horses, and stopped after a distance of hundreds of feet. The lantern flew to Lu Zhong's side, illuminating his figure.

The leader was a strong man in green clothes. He sized Lu Zhong up first, and when he saw the red face, his cold eyes softened, but the vigilance on his face remained, and he waved his hand to signal the person behind him to move forward. Also speak at the same time.

Strange accent, unknown language.

Lu Zhong said that he didn't understand at all.

Seeing that the other person's expression was wrong, he didn't want to miss this opportunity to contact, so he said: "I'm sorry, I have traveled alone for nearly a month due to the space storm, and this is the first time I have seen a living person, so I don't know your language. Please forgive me!"

Lu Zhong's words were written in Yinjiwen.

Although Yinjiwen is French, it is not impossible to use it for dialogue, but generally no one is willing to do it. After all, it needs to consume mana, which is really too laborious.And if one is not done well, the power in the text will be aroused, and it will cause a lot of trouble.

Like him, being able to speak in Yinjiwen, and even let the words act on the heart, so that people can directly understand the meaning, is a kind of strength in itself.

Sure enough, after hearing Lu Zhong's words, the group of riders became agitated.

Aware of Lu Zhong's extraordinaryness, the big man in Tsing Yi sent his men who were good at multilingualism to try to communicate with Lu Zhong. However, just like before, no matter what language he changed, even if it was an ancient dialect, this man could speak silver pole language. The "immortal teacher" who spoke was still unable to understand.

Faced with this situation, the big man also faced difficulties.

At this moment, a figure appeared riding a "walking chicken", but it was an old Taoist with a sense of immortality, holding a whisk in his hand, and his body was not low.Seeing Lu Zhong illuminated by a bright light, and knowing the ins and outs of the matter, and knowing that Lu Zhong could speak in Yinjiwen, his face was also shocked.

After a little hesitation, the old Taoist took out a yellow talisman from his body.

This talisman is no more than two feet long, and it is written in ink on yellow paper, with only a few strokes on it.

The old Taoist took it out with heartache on his face, but thinking of the ability Lu Zhong had shown, he finally gritted his teeth and ignited the yellow talisman with spiritual fire, then mixed the ashes into the water bag, and after shaking it slightly, he Regardless of the obstruction of the riders, he walked up to Lu Zhong and handed out the water bag, uttering a word with difficulty:

"Please!"

Lu Zhong's expression remained unchanged, but he wanted to laugh in his heart.

This pronunciation is too inaccurate.

Looking at the water sac, he probably guessed the other party's intentions, but secretly used the gray mist space to verify the effect of the talisman water, and only drank it after confirming that there was no malice.

It's miraculous to say, when the Fushui enters the stomach.

Lu Zhong was surprised to find that he could understand the other party's words.But he soon realized that it was not because he had mastered the language, but because of the effect of the water talisman.

Seeing the change in Lu Zhong's expression, the old Taoist knew that Fu Shui had played a role.He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked, clasping his hands, "My fellow Taoist, after you drank the water of the communication talisman, can you understand the words of the poor Taoist now? Please tell us your origin, this is the Yasha desert, and ordinary people Can't show up again."

"Yasha Desert? So I came here. As for the origin, the way I got here, I'm afraid I told my fellow Taoists that I wouldn't believe it. It was because of a transmission error a while ago, that's why I appeared here. As for My name, fellow daoists, just call me Lu Zhong." Lu Zhong said as he cupped his hands at the other party.

"There was a mistake in the teleportation? Three days ago, I heard that a large formation was deployed on the east side, and all the teleportation methods were ineffective. The teleportation went wrong, and the fellow daoist survived by chance. It's really lucky!" The old Taoist said with a smile He looked at Lu Zhong with a non-smiling look.

"Maybe, it's because of it."

Lu Zhong turned his hand and took out an object, which was a transfer order.

"No wonder! There is such a thing."

When the old Taoist saw the transfer order, he had no doubts about Lu Zhongcai's explanation.According to the information he knew, when the teleportation went wrong in the east, most of the monks holding the transfer order, except for a few unlucky ones, were only injured and their lives were not in danger.

Then, he took a look at Lu Zhong, as if sensing his cultivation.

But got nothing.

"Hey, what is the cultivation of fellow Taoist?"

"Well... I have practiced a breath-holding technique." Lv Zhong used the gray mist space to investigate the old man secretly, and found that although his breath was weak and looked similar to a layer of qi refining, it had actually been built. After attaining the Dao Foundation, it is called Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, "As for cultivation, it is now the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

"So that's how it is!" Seeing Lu Zhong's embarrassed face, as if he had misunderstood something, the old Taoist comforted him, "You don't need to worry about this, fellow Daoist Lu, everyone is the same now. Since the invasion of the underworld, the law has been hanging like a sun, and we wait The strength of the immortal cultivator is getting worse day by day, so that building a foundation is like refining Qi, but refining Qi is like a mortal."

Having said that, he laughed:

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!"

Underworld, law?
Lu Zhong suddenly realized that this was the reason for the loss of strength.

But in other words, how could the invasion of the underworld and the suspension of the law lead to the decline of the power of immortal cultivators?

Could it be, what secrets are involved in it...

He tried to ask, but the old man didn't know about it.

The old Taoist only knows that the extra round sun in the sky is related to the "Law of the Underworld".

What does the law mean?
Why the power of monks will decline is unknown.

After talking for a while, Lu Zhong didn't get any other information except knowing the word law.

"Since it's rare to meet you, why don't you go with me as a fellow Taoist? This time, the old Taoist has accepted a commission to escort Guihan and Chen's family's convoy through the wilderness to Beiliu Shanfang City. Since the fellow Taoist is not weak, as long as you agree If you make a move in case of trouble, then the fare can be waived, otherwise, according to the usual practice, a fee will be charged." The old man shook his whisk, smiled faintly, and threw out his own conditions.

"Just a shot?" Lu Zhong thought for a while, and then agreed.

They were just ghosts, and it wasn't difficult for him to kill them, all he had to do was spend more exorcising talismans, at most one or two evil-breaking talismans.

"Okay, since Fellow Daoist agrees, let's make a contract!" The old Taoist nodded, took out a piece of yellow paper, agreed on the terms on it, and said while writing: "Well, since the invasion of the underworld, the world has been in chaos, and people's hearts are also in chaos. Every day is not as good as every day, and the poor Taoist has no choice but to do it, and I hope fellow Taoists don't care about it."

It didn't take long for the contract to be written.

Lu Zhong took a look and found that compared with the Qinghejie contract, this contract is much cleaner, with only golden spirit patterns painted on the corners.There are many clauses in the contract, densely packed with thousands of clauses, clearly stipulating the obligations and responsibilities, and also specifying how both parties should perform their obligations under various force majeure situations, so as to close all the loopholes, as if they are afraid that the other party will take advantage of the loopholes.

This...isn't the heart old?

Lu Zhong shook his head.

After confirming that there was no problem, he left his name on it.

The contract was completed, and the old Taoist who signed "Fang Pan" looked a little more kind, and the eyes of the other riders were no longer as vigilant as before. Although they didn't immediately treat Lu Zhong as one of their own, it was obvious that they were much less defensive. Soon, someone led a ride, but it was another "yellow-haired free-range chicken".

"Fellow Daoist Lu, there is still a long way to go, so let me lend you this chocobo."

"Thank you!" Lu Zhong cupped his hands in thanks.

Then he looked at Da Niao, and Da Niao also turned sideways at this time, looking at the person in front of him curiously, the two looked at each other, Lu Zhong suddenly felt a move in his heart, and took out a handful of young vegetable leaves from the storage ring.

"Hey?" Chocobo stared straight at the tender leaves.

"Hahaha, the immortal master is really kind..." A voice came from the side, but it was the person who brought Chocobo just now. It was a girl wearing a white turban, with a sweet smile on her face. Walked up to Chocobo and stroked it, "Huang Yu is so good, don't play with your temper after eating something from the immortal master!"

"Hey!" Chocobo raised his head happily, then pecked at the blade of grass, and started to eat.

After it finished eating, it took the initiative to walk up to Lu Zhong.

I lowered myself.

"The temperament of the fairy master is really liked by Huang Yu!" The girl in the white turban covered her mouth and smiled, "This is the first time I have seen Chun'er, and it is willing to take the initiative to let people go up. Of course, I think the more likely reason is, It's thanks to that handful of vegetable leaves. If the immortal master is willing to feed it more, maybe Huang Yu can recognize you as master!"

"Oh, can you still recognize me as the master? How about the ownership?" Lu Zhong asked interestedly.

This big yellow-haired bird looks pretty good, especially the fluffy feathers, it must be very comfortable to touch.If it can be used as a mount, it is also good to use it for transportation temporarily.

"Ah? Immortal Master...you don't know that chocobos are all rented from the chocobo business? By the way, it seems that there are not many chocobos in the east. No wonder..." The girl named Chun'er, first There was a burst of surprise, and then he showed a sudden realization expression, and then he became embarrassed and began to explain.

It turns out that the Chocobo Trading Company has always had a rule that their chocobos are only rented and not sold. As long as the chocobo recognizes the owner, they can get it for free. The premise is to ensure the safety of the chocobo and provide the necessary accommodation. If the chocobos are no longer needed in the future, they can be sent back to the business.

"I see." Lu Zhong nodded, stroked Huang Yu, and turned over.

There is a saddle on the bird, which has a similar function to a saddle, but cloth bags are padded on both sides, which is not only for riding comfort, but also for protecting the feathers of the chocobo.

"Master Immortal, the convoy is about to leave, let's meet up there."

"it is good!"

Lu Zhong nodded, and after asking the imperial envoy Chocobo how to do it, he shook the reins lightly, and the big bird under him spread his thick legs and turned into an off-string arrow to rush forward, several times faster than the horse , I only heard the whistling wind in my ears, and I caught up with the rider in front of me in twos and threes.

Everyone ran for a while, and soon a light appeared in front of them.

Lu Zhong looked forward and found that the composition of this convoy was far beyond his previous imagination. It was actually composed of turtle carts. The dark gray giant tortoise was more than ten feet high and at least thirty feet long. With brightly lit houses, trekking on the wilderness.

The speed seems to be slow, but it is actually several minutes faster than a galloping horse.

Interestingly, according to Lu Zhong's observation, although the giant tortoise is constantly moving forward, it can keep its back stable, so that the house above does not have much bumps.

There are many types of buildings on the back of the turtle. In addition to houses that seem to be used for living, there are also facilities such as halls and watchtowers for unknown purposes. During the time when people can be seen, there are even young children lying on the fence. Curiously watching the returning riders.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped down from the back of the leader of the team.It was a chocobo with pure white fur, and a slender figure was riding on it. It was a young girl in light yellow clothes. She looked quite beautiful, and she was a beauty.

Looking young, his cultivation is not low, and he is already in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

She rode a chocobo and came to Lu Zhong. After sweeping her eyes, she said with a smile: "Is it the Yinjiwen of the Daoist Association? The Patriarch has an invitation, please come with me."

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhong asked instead of leaving immediately.

Hearing this, the girl reined in the chocobo that was starting, and turned around:

"It's a good thing, you'll know when you go."
