Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 272 Cheng Huazong, Hanchi County

Zheng!
The airship in flight suddenly made a piercing buzzing sound, and a light yellow ripple shot out from the bow, shaking in all directions.

"Uncle, what happened?"

"Have you encountered an enemy attack?"

The teenagers were startled and questioned one after another.

"Don't worry, this is driving away the demon birds in the sky."

Uncle Wu raised his hand and pressed it, signaling to everyone not to panic, "Besides monks and spirit boats, there are some demon birds that can fly in the clouds..."

Halfway through the speech, several gray-feathered and white-headed birds flew past the side of the airship, and disappeared from sight in an instant before everyone could see their appearance clearly.

Uncle Wu withdrew his gaze, and said calmly: "The monster bird that flew past just now is called the Wind Sparrow. It flies extremely fast, and has a pointed head and body. It looks like a javelin."

"Once it hits them, even the Foundation Establishment monks will inevitably be injured. The airship used the magic circle to drive them away just now."

The crowd understood.

Zhao Lin looked at the direction of the flying bird and thought: "There are many spirit birds and monsters in the Xuanyuan Continent, and they must be stronger than the strange beasts in the small world. After entering the sect, you must study it carefully."

……

After flying for half a day, the group finally arrived at Hanchi County in Nanhezhou.

Hanchi County is located in a piece of lofty mountains, a beautiful place surrounded by seven peaks. The terrain is long and narrow, with a width of about forty miles from east to west and more than a hundred miles from north to south.

According to Uncle Wu, Cheng Huazong has nine small worlds, and correspondingly there are nine prefectures. The small world under the jurisdiction of Nanhezhou is the Hanchi Realm where everyone lives.

Although the other four states do not have small worlds, there are many monks and mortals who have migrated there, and the scale is not inferior.

At the beginning of the establishment of Hanchi County, it was to train young disciples from Hanchi Realm.

After years of development, there are now thousands of monks practicing here, and there are many foundation-building monks sitting in the town.

Approaching Hanchi County, the airship began to slow down.

"It's in front!"

Uncle Wu pointed to the valley not far ahead and said.

"finally reached!"

Zhao Lin suddenly realized that he was in another world last night, and after only half a day, he arrived at Cheng Huazong.

There is quite a feeling in my heart that "sitting on the ground and traveling [-] miles a day, surveying the sky and watching a thousand rivers in the distance".

He stared and watched, and he could only see a white mist of the magic circle as far as he could see, and he couldn't see the specific situation in the valley clearly.

Uncle Wu took out a jade tablet and took a look at a certain place in the valley. The mist suddenly surged and parted to the two sides, allowing a wide passage.

The two blue-robed monks on the boat controlled the airship, slowly flew into the valley, turned right after entering, and landed on a "helipad".

The tarmac is Zhao Lin's own name. It is actually a huge boulder on which five flying boats of different shapes and sizes have been moored.

Zhao Lin felt a little strange in his heart, why didn't these flying boats be put into the "cosmos bag"?

Could it be that Xuanyuan Continent doesn't have a Qiankun bag, or it can't hold such a big airship?

Everyone disembarked and followed Wu Shishu along the passage for several tens of feet, and suddenly a world like a paradise appeared in front of them.

I saw several tall and straight peaks, green hills with greenery, lush forests and bamboos, winding paths leading to secluded places, dotted with clear springs and waterfalls.

The beauty of the scenery makes people forget the dust when they see it.

After walking for dozens of steps, I saw a few red and golden apes chasing and playing in the forest, and a group of colorful elk grazing grass by the river.

From time to time, a huge egret flew by in the air, and a monk with fluttering sleeves stood on it to patrol.

Under a strong and verdant pine tree, two white-haired old men sat facing each other, each holding black and white chess pieces to play against each other on the chessboard...

The teenagers were amazed to see it, and felt that this situation was just like the fairy world in their minds.

Martial Uncle Wu intentionally slowed down to let everyone watch for a while longer.

When passing by the pine tree, Uncle Wu exchanged glances with the two old men imperceptibly.

After everyone left, the two old men stood up at the same time.

Among them, the red-faced old man yelled into the air: "Put away all the spirit birds, and those disobedient curly-haired beasts, catch them all and put them in the cave!"

After finishing speaking, he kicked the chessboard over and shouted: "You just have to do some superficial work, just show off!"

The cultivator on the egret immediately agreed, ordered the spirit bird to descend, and went into the woods to catch the golden red ape in a hurry.

The few apes refused to give in, shouted at each other, and fled in all directions.

For a moment, the forest that was quiet and remote just now suddenly jumped up and down, without any fairy energy.

The white-faced old man on the opposite side had a relaxed attitude, and said indifferently: "Brother Nie is serious, these are not all appearances."

"Only by letting these new disciples have a heart of longing, can they concentrate and move forward bravely when practicing Taoism."

The red-faced old man snorted, "Okay, anyway, everything that should be done has been done."

Zhao Lin kept his ears open to listen to the surrounding movement, and when he heard the conversation between the two old men, he grinned inwardly.

I didn't expect that the scene I saw just now was actually "staged".

However, he was not disappointed. Instead, he felt that Cheng Huazong paid more attention to the new disciples, so he did this.

Besides, it is nothing more than releasing a few spirit beasts to decorate the facade, plus two old men pretending to play chess to create an atmosphere, which is understandable.

Even without spirit beasts and old people, the environment here is quite elegant.

Uncle Wu led the crowd around the valley for a while, and came to a lush mountain.

Many stone houses of almost the same size and style were built here, scattered and arranged along the hillside.

"This is where the mortals of the county live."

Uncle Wu pointed to the stone house and said.

The teenagers were very surprised when they heard the words, and someone asked, "Master, are there still mortals living here?"

Uncle Wu nodded and explained: "Of course, there are not only mortals in the county, but also more people than monks."

"Most of them are mortals from the Xiuxian family, and they are willing to come to the county to do things."

"They helped to build the main hall of the Zongmen and the residences of the monks, and the daily wear of the monks was also done by mortals."

"I'm a cultivator, so I can't waste time on these trivial matters."

"Of course, the Zongmen will not treat them badly, and give them health-preserving pills regularly. Although they can't really practice Taoism, it is not a problem to try to stay healthy and prolong their lives."

While speaking, he walked to a large wooden building, and the aroma of food wafted from it. After the teenagers smelled it, they couldn't help moving their index fingers.

Martial Uncle Wu smiled and said, "You must be tired from running around all day. Let's eat something here first and rest for a while. Someone will pick you up later."

He paused for a while, and said meaningfully: "Once you start cultivating the Tao, you can no longer eat mortal food. Before you open your veins, eat as much as you can."
