There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 758 Searching for the Cause
After hearing Hongze's explanation, Wang Ping subconsciously began to doubt. After all, this was too much of a coincidence, so much so that he had to doubt it.

Yu Lian sensed Wang Ping's emotions and immediately looked at Hong Ze's soul, looking at his soul inside and out, and then said in the sea of ​​spirits: "His cause and effect is still neutral, and there is uneasiness and tension in his consciousness."

Wang Ping calmly flicked the sleeve of his left hand, and the 'Tongtian Talisman' appeared instantly. Hongze's uneasy and nervous eyes suddenly became numb. This was Wang Ping's temporary expulsion of his consciousness through Hongze's big net connecting heaven and earth.

Afterwards, Wang Ping used the Heaven Covering Talisman to distort Hongze's consciousness and asked, "How is your master going to escape?"

Hongze did not answer, but the answer was already in his mind. Wang Ping stretched out his hand and lightly grabbed at the void, using the "borrowed luck talisman" to grab this part of Hongze's consciousness.

After counting the interest.

Wang Ping let out a breath.

The next moment, everything in the dojo returned to normal.

Hongze was still feeling uneasy and nervous. He didn't even know what happened just now. He was still quietly waiting for Wang Ping's response.

Wang Ping read from Hongze's consciousness that Hongze was communicating with Ao Hong in a ritual way by worshipping the gods. However, Hongze's divine arts were obviously not very good, and the messages he transmitted were blocked every time. Only by repeating this process for several hours could he get accurate information.

"You should step back first."

Wang Ping did not give Hongze a specific reply.

Hongze did not dare to ask any further questions. Hearing this, he could only bow respectfully and retreat.

After Hongze left, the calico cat jumped down from the old locust tree next to it, meowed at Yu Lian, and then disappeared on the spot in a flash.

Yu Lian swung her tail and said to Wang Ping, "Can Zhi Gong do this?"

"I don't know. We need to investigate first. Right now we don't even know where Ao Hong is trapped. This matter is not urgent."

As Wang Ping spoke, he summoned the Heavenly Sword, constructed the Kingdom of God, and began to deduce the magic circle of luck.

But in just a moment, Bi Shi's soul presented him with thousands of pictures. He saw a boundless cave in the darkness underground. A magnificent palace built of huge stones supported this space. Inside the palace were countless murals.

In these murals, Wang Ping vaguely saw that someone was recording certain historical events, but these were deduced pictures. When he looked closely, the murals became blurry again.

After a while.

Wang Ping exited the simulation and fell into deep thought.

Yu Lian tilted her head and looked at Wang Ping, waiting for Wang Ping to wake up from his thoughts.

Wang Ping didn't let Yu Lian wait too long. After more than ten breaths, he took a deep breath, looked at Yu Lian and said, "Tell Hong Ze to find Zhi Gong." He took out a token and said, "Tell him to bring my badge, otherwise he won't even be able to see Zhi Gong."

"You really are thoughtful."

Yu Lian used the storage magic circle on her tail to collect the token, then turned into a stream of light and flew down the mountain.

Wang Ping took out the metal ball and continued to refine the star god consciousness inside. At the same time, he used the "Dongtian Mirror" to connect to the puppet in the southeast sea area to monitor the movements of the disciples of the Third Prince.

It was not until the beginning of autumn that the news of the annihilation of the rebels reached the south, along with some legendary stories that had taken place on the battlefield. Storytellers in teahouses across the country immediately turned their stories into vernacular novels for interpretation.

This time, a total of six marquises were conferred titles by the court on the four southern routes plus Houjiang Route. When they returned triumphantly with their armies after the New Year, the entire south was plunged into a joyful atmosphere of celebration.

...

On a morning in early February of the 314th year of the Daogong calendar, Wang Ping was playing chess with Hu Qianqian who was visiting him. Liu Shuang turned into a stream of light and landed in front of the old locust tree.

"Another trouble?"

Wang Ping asked before Liu Shuang bowed. Hu Qianqian stood up and greeted Liu Shuang when Wang Ping asked. Then Liu Shuang replied: "The three-chair meeting was very noisy because of Senior Ziluan's matter."

"What's wrong with him?"

"Senior Ziluan seized the soul and spirit veins of Shui Xiu in the north."

"Ignore it."

Wang Ping didn't care.

Liu Shuang looked at Wang Ping's expression and talked about the second thing. "The rebellion of Yong'an Hou caused a lot of damage to the water array set up by the Taoist Palace in the north. Without the maintenance of the water array, the fire spirits began to ravage again, and droughts occurred in many places. At the three-seat meeting yesterday, Beiyuan Road and Qingpu Road both requested an increase in the budget of the Taoist Palace."

Wang Ping had not paid much attention to the North recently. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "What is the attitude of the Zhenyang Sect?"

"They can't afford the extra money and materials."

"Then let's talk slowly."

"Yes!"

When Liu Shuang answered, the calico cat and Liu Shuang's spirit dog landed at the end of a distant path. Yu Lian, who was resting on a branch, opened her eyes and took a look, then closed her eyes again to rest.

After Wang Ping saw Liu Shuang finish her report, he called her over to sit down and talk. This time, the topic of conversation between the master and apprentice was focused on Xia Wenyi and Xuan Ling. The former is now the abbot of the Mozhou Road Taoist Palace, and the latter is the abbot of the Haizhou Road Taoist Palace.

Their relationship had somehow become similar to that of Xiu Yu and Zi Luan, where they were competing for dominance in everything, which made Liu Shuang worried.

Wang Ping didn't take it seriously. At the end of the conversation, he asked, "Where has Rong'er been in recent years?"

Liu Shuang responded, "She likes to travel around. Last month, she asked the Star God Alliance's caravan to bring back some small gifts from Xizhou."

As she spoke, she glanced over at the old locust tree. Her spirit dog and calico cat were stroking Yu Lian's tail as it drooped in sleep. Yu Lian was not angry at all. She squinted her eyes and played happily with the two little guys.

"very nice."

Wang Ping nodded, then took out a communication token, which was the communication token he used to contact Taoist Zhigong. Taoist Zhigong asked Wang Ping to meet on an empty island south of Mozhou Road to discuss matters related to rescuing Ao Hong.

In the past year, Zhi Gong led Hong Ze to secretly explore many places in the southern waters, looking for the specific area where Ao Hong was trapped. Wang Ping also specially used the "Heaven-covering Talisman" to shield them from the secrets.

Wang Ping did not rush to leave, but patiently continued to play chess with Hu Qianqian. For him, the time spent with his disciples was more important than anything else.

The game ended after half an hour. Hu Qianqian and Liu Shuang left together. Liu Shuang's spirit dog whined twice, and although reluctant to leave, it followed Liu Shuang away.

When the dojo became deserted again, Wang Ping gently waved his right hand, used the "cleaning technique" to clean up the area around the coffee table, then stood up and called Yu Lian, saying, "We are going to go out for a while."

"Meow~"

The calico cat called softly.

Although Wang Ping didn't understand, he smiled and said, "I'm going to do some work this time. I'll take you with me next time."

The calico cat meowed again, then tilted its head and licked the hair on her back.

Yu Lian looked at the calico cat and gently flicked her tail at the cat. While playing with the calico cat, she was taken into the space where the talisman was transferring and disappeared by Wang Ping.

PS: I have something to do today, so I will just write 2,000 words to meet your urgent needs.
