There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 306 Zhenyang Mountain

The Liangjiang area and parts of central Zhongzhou are to the Zhenyang Sect what Shang'an Prefecture is to the Qianmu Temple. They are the private areas of the Zhenyang Sect.

From a distance, Zhenyang Mountain looks like the backbone of the earth, as if it holds up the sky and the earth in Zhongzhou. The highest mountain top cannot be observed because it is surrounded by a thick gray-black fog all year round, similar to the top of an active volcano. .

The main part of the mountain range can be connected to the northwest corner, so even if Wang Ping observes it, he can't see the end of the Liangjiang area. The mountain range itself is full of red fire and maintains a certain high temperature all year round. The candle trees at the foot of the mountain can burn the earth. Most of the heat is absorbed.

The leaves of the candle tree are in the same fiery red state as the maple tree, but the maple tree only looks like this in autumn, while the candle tree is like this all year round, and the candle tree does not refer to a kind of sapling, but to the fire spirit. The trunks of trees corroded by the qi have flame-like textures. If you look carefully, you can see that there are some fine haloes flowing in the textures.

At the edge of the Fire Candle Tree Jungle, there is a branch of the Nong River, called the Chiyan River, which goes south from the Shangjing Plain area, surrounds the Zhenyang Mountain, and then flows into the sea from the Liangjiang area.

This Chiyan River got its name because it is illuminated crimson by candle trees all year round. Its original name is irrelevant. Also, this river vein is obviously man-made because its channel is very neat. The bottom of the river is covered with water magic formations, which prevent the fire spirit of Zhenyang Mountain from flowing into the world and disturbing the spirituality of the world.

"Looking at this mountain makes me uncomfortable."

Yu Lian hid in Wang Ping's sleeves. There was fear and resistance in her spirit, but she couldn't help but keep tilting her head and looking at Zhenyang Mountain with her small eyes.

When Huo Jie saw Yu Lian's appearance, he proudly stood on Ruan Chunzi's shoulder and breathed out a breath of fire.

"Fellow Taoist, are you really not going to let me be a host?" Ruan Chunzi made a polite invitation.

"No, I'll do it next time."

Wang Ping politely refused, then cupped his hands and said, "I'm not used to staying in a place with fire all the time." After that, he projected the identity tag Ruan Chunzi gave him into the sky, and then turned it into a beam. The streamer flew further north.

More than ten breaths later, Wang Ping felt Ruan Chunzi's gaze disappear and projected the identity plate a hundred miles ahead. Suddenly, he turned around and landed silently on a small road next to a nearby straight road. He also changed into an ordinary blue Taoist robe, with a broken sword on his back and a water bottle given to him by Junior Brother Wang Kang hanging around his waist.

After his feet touched the ground, Wang Ping instinctively grabbed a handful of seeds and threw them into the wind. Then he walked towards the straight path. When he stepped onto the straight path, he casually threw out two copper coins and made a fortune.

The copper coin fell on his hand, he glanced at the divination, and then he saw a fast horse galloping from the north. Immediately behind it was a police officer, with a briefcase made of a wooden box on the officer's back.

Wang Ping didn't care much, and walked along the road to the north. Soon he saw a figure deep in the towering building at the end of the straight road, going deep into the sky, chasing the identity projection that Wang Ping had just thrown out. .

"Since you want to walk, why do you need to ask for an identity card from others?" Yu Lian obediently hid in her sleeves and communicated with Wang Ping in the spiritual sea.

"It's a deal, and he gave it to me on his own initiative."

When Wang Ping passed by on horseback, he made a Taoist gesture, and then walked quickly north, dropping some seeds every time he walked a hundred feet.

After walking about twenty kilometers, he saw a tea shop. The flag tied to the top of the five-foot-high flagpole in front of the tea shop was red with white characters. The white characters were of course the word "tea". Not only was the flag red, but tea was The main building and seats of the shop are also red.

There are two reasons for this situation. First, this is the territory of the True Yang Sect, and everyone advocates the color red; second, the Fire Candle Tree itself is red, and because the spiritual energy is particularly nourishing, the True Yang Sect also encourages People along the way cut down a lot of trees, and the bark of the candle tree can be used to make red dye, which is particularly cheap.

After getting closer, Wang Ping discovered that the seats and benches in the teahouse were all red, not painted with paint. However, the wooden boards of the candle tree are particularly brittle. The reason why the teahouse uses it is to save costs, not for other reasons. The real living place should still use lacquer.

"Taoist Master, sit here!"

When the waiter saw Wang Ping's dress, he greeted him enthusiastically and led him to sit down at an unoccupied table. After Wang Ping sat down, he greeted him: "A pot of tea, less salt, and two cakes. "

"okay!"

After the waiter nodded and bent down to agree, he quickly ran into the teahouse.

Wang then looked around. There were many people sitting in the teahouse. Two of them were practitioners like Wang Ping. The others looked like businessmen. There was no tea on the vendor's table, only dry flour cakes. , they drank the water they brought with them.

When the vendors were eating cakes, they all abided by the rules of merchants and did not say a word of gossip. Their eyes kept falling on the motorcade not far away, while the two practitioners were talking quietly. What they were discussing was actually Go to Mozhou Road to try your luck, because both of them have reached perfection in Qi training, but they don't have the marrow cleansing technique.

Looking at them, Wang Ping felt his luck. He was lucky enough to meet his master.

When the waiter brought tea to Wang Ping, the leader of the caravan gave him the money for the noodles, and then the people counting him walked out of the tea shop one by one, and then pushed out the goods they placed in the corner of the tea shop in an orderly manner.

The taste of tea made Wang Ping feel nostalgic. After so many years of practice, he had almost forgotten the taste of tea in the world. The slight saltiness, the thickness of the tea leaves, and the spices made it refreshing to drink it in one sip. The effect of this, coupled with a bite of noodles, Wang Ping immediately felt like he was back when he first went out.

After finishing one cake and waiting for the waiter to finish cleaning the vendors' tables, Wang Ping asked: "Man, where does this straight road go?"

"The one going north is Liuxia County, and the one going south is Tuxian County." The waiter answered very casually. Many people must have asked him this question.

"This straight road can lead to the Shangjing area." Wang Ping asked again.

"It leads to Dalinfu City, the capital of Qianjiang Road. After you get to Dalinfu City, you can find out how to get to the Shangjing area by asking around." The waiter also answered quickly. He had just finished answering the two people who had been discussing for a long time in the distance. The monk also gave the money, then walked out of the tea shop and hurried south on the straight road.

The area where Wang Ping is currently located is Houjiang Road. If it were on Nanlin Road, it would be impossible to build a straight road directly to the capital of another region, but it is possible here.

Wang Ping took out the kettle, handed it to the waiter and said, "Fill me up with tea."

"okay."

A quarter of an hour later.

The tea shop welcomed a new customer, and Wang Ping also walked out of the tea shop under the scrutiny of the new customers, and then walked north along the straight road.
