Chapter 507 Su Zhen
Where Zhou Qing dealt with Yang Teng and the others, two people flew over quickly and landed here.
Looking around and observing carefully, the expressions of the two men became gloomy after discovering the mess and potholes on the ground.
One of the men with silver scales next to his cheek said:
“Something happened, Yang Teng and the others are probably more likely to be in trouble than others.”
He pointed to the ground, "Although a battle broke out here, judging from the environment at the scene, Yang Teng and the others should have been captured without much resistance."
What does this mean? And metaphor.
The other person is a man with two dragon horns on his head.
He closed his eyes and felt it slightly, and then a cold murderous intent flashed across his face.
“I can’t feel the mark on the space ring anymore. I’m afraid it has been erased.”
"Damn it." The scaly man was furious and said:
"Who discovered the traces of Yang Teng and the others? With that treasure changing the breath, and the large number of people in Jiuyang City, it is logically impossible for Yang Teng and the others to Exposed!"
"The puppets and the dragon's blood are all in Yang Teng's hands, and they can't be found now."
The two of them are accompanying Yang Teng on this trip to Lingyang Lake. The venerable ones who come together.
They attracted firepower on the bright side. When the time was almost up and they were sure that Yang Teng and the others were completely safe, they proved to the people who besieged them that the puppets and other treasures were not in their hands.
In this way, others will have no choice but to give up, no matter how unwilling they are.
If you don’t have what you want, then there is no need to fight to the death with the two venerables.
This is also the reason why after the Lingyang Lake soldiers split into two groups, the treasures were placed on Yangteng's side. Not only did they want to ensure the safety of the treasures, but they also wanted to ensure the safety of their own lord, who would not be killed. Stare and beat.
But who knew that something like this had happened, and that the Venerable was secretly doing it!
The two sages of Lingyang Lake have basically concluded that Yang Teng and the others encountered the sages, so they had no strong resistance, and the ring mark was directly erased.
The two discussed it and searched nearby for a while, but found no clues, so they had to leave in frustration and go back to Lingyang Lake.
Don’t let them know what despicable person he is, bullying the small!
On the other side, Zhou Qing is getting closer and closer to Yuanfeng County.
He kept letting Kun's clone rush outside, while he concentrated on doing various things in the space inside his body.
Zhou Qing naturally discovered the treasure that Yang Teng used to change his breath and conceal his identity.
Being able to hide it from most of the venerables is very impressive.
But to be honest, this thing is of little use here in Zhou Qing.
His method of hiding his identity is much better than this kind of treasure, and it can be said to be flawless.
So Zhou Qing didn't pay much attention to the treasure. He put it away first and used it later if it was useful. If it was not useful, he kept it.
After arriving in Yuanfeng County, it was already dawn, and the Jiuyang Auction lasted for a long time. Another rush, and the night passed.
Zhou Qing emerged from the inner space of Kun's body and restored his human appearance.
Except for special places like Jiuyang City, in most areas of Daqi, the demon clan is still relatively conspicuous. Their upright appearance will attract a lot of attention and even unnecessary trouble.
People entering the city and demons entering the city must be completely different concepts.
Not long after, Zhou Qing passed by a small town. After thinking about it, he entered the town.
There are many people in the town, and it is quite prosperous. On the surface, there is no trace of the drought six years ago.
This is normal, people always have to look forward.
Zhou Qing cleverly inquired about the drought six years ago with the people here. After a while, he left the town directly.
According to the people in the town, God was really angry that year. It was an unprecedented drought. I don’t know how many people died. Their town was almost empty.
Death or escape.
But then suddenly, the severe drought ended, and in the past six years, the weather has been smooth, and there have never been any natural disasters.
Later, many people moved from other counties, and Yuanfeng County slowly recovered and developed normally.
Zhou Qing also tested it. The people in this town did not know that the severe drought was caused by the world, and they only regarded it as a real natural disaster.
In fact, the evil cultivator Liang Hai who once killed An Lang's family did not know the inside story of the drought at first.
It was only after I was absorbed into the Heavenly Mother Cult that I learned that such a natural disaster was actually a man-made event.
Ordinary mortals are too ignorant to know the truth of the world.
In such matters, they will always be like scattered dandelions, completely incapable of autonomy and extremely fragile.
But does the Yuanfeng County government know about this?
An unprecedented severe drought breaks out suddenly in this kind of world. It is difficult for people not to associate it with extraordinary power.
Logically speaking, the Yuanfeng County government should conduct an investigation.
Well... the power of the government in one county is definitely not enough.
"The drought ended suddenly..."
Zhou Qing sat on the flying carpet and flew away.
This kind of man-made natural disaster suddenly ends, which can only mean that people who have crossed the world have given up.
I just don’t know whether I gave up voluntarily or was forced to give up.
After reappearing in a civilized place, it was already Yuanfeng County.
Zhou Qing went to the city and conducted secret inquiries. In the end, he used his identity to go directly to the County Ghosts and Gods Department to learn about the official intelligence on the drought that year.
What surprised him was that the Yuanfeng County government actually judged the severe drought as a natural disaster? !
There are no traces of man-made chaos, let alone any way to escape the world. It is just a pure natural disaster, just Yuanfeng County... unlucky.
According to the records of the Ghosts and Gods Division, six years ago, only the local forces in Yuanfeng County investigated this matter, and did not ask Tianyang City to send experts to investigate when the incident occurred.
It was only afterward that some experts from Tianyang City came to Yuanfeng County. They found nothing, and then they determined the drought.
This...
Zhou Qing left the Ghosts and Gods Department in confusion. He felt that all experienced old official monks would be suspicious of such a sudden natural disaster, right?
Even if the local government in Yuanfeng County is not strong enough to find out anything, they should immediately report to Tianyang City to come forward. Why did someone come only after the fact?
Also, even after the investigation, no clues were found... Is this method of crossing the world so hidden?
Perhaps, Tianyang City has already discovered that it was Du Shidao's handiwork. It is just to maintain stability and cannot be announced to the outside world. It can only be blamed on natural disasters?
I can't understand, I really can't understand.
Breaking through, Zhou Qing's heart moved.
Damn it, is there another traitor who is causing trouble?
After experiencing Ye Chong's incident, Zhou Qing felt as if he had suffered from traitor syndrome.
Once there is suspicion, everyone looks like a traitor.
An Lang is very similar!
After looking at Yuanfeng County, Zhou Qing felt that it was better not to stay longer. If there was really danger, he could not put himself in danger.
Get away.
No matter what the situation is, when he arrives at Zhongtian City, he can tell Qin Ming directly that it would be best to leave it to the Tianzhou officials.
Whether the Tianyang County government did not report anything for the sake of stability, or whether nothing was found, let the Tianzhou government investigate.
After leaving the county seat, the flying carpet flew again, heading straight for Cangyuan County.
After letting An Lang meet her sister again, Zhou Qing embarked on the journey to Tiangui County without much delay.
First of all, we must pass through Tianhai County.
Zhou Qing found a treasure map in a certain treasure box last month. The treasure map recorded on the treasure map was in Tianhai County.
He did not forget this treasure map, so after entering Tianhai County, he also went to the place recorded on the treasure map to look for the treasure.
The overall strength of the cultivation world in Tianhai County is stronger than that in Tianyue County, but except for the Shui Tribe, it is not much stronger.
So Zhou Qing’s treasure hunting journey went quite smoothly.
With his current strength and the help of Kun's clone, unless he wants to break into Tianhai, there is no place in Tianhai County where he can stay, so finding a treasure will naturally not be a problem.
It took him a day to get the treasure.
There is the nest of a water tribe that has been dead for who knows how many years, showing its holy and perfect cultivation.
After Zhou Qing went in, he handed over his inheritance in one pot.
There are water-based treasures, spiritual objects, magic weapons, elixirs, etc., which are also good harvests.
What is there to be dissatisfied with when you get something for free?
This treasure hunting trip also allowed Zhou Qing to see the natural environment of Tianhai County. Compared with Tianyang and Tianyue counties, there are indeed more waters and aquatic animals in it.
Then Zhou Qing did not stay in Tianhai longer and continued on his way.
After Tianhai, there is Tianbei County. This is the road he has already walked the last time he went to participate in the martial arts evaluation. Now he knows the way.
On the way, Zhou Qing lamented to An Lang more than once that the world is really big, and he had never seen such a big world.
Zhou Qing's current flying speed is definitely comparable to that of the Holy Realm, but it takes a long time to fly across several counties at this speed.
You know, in Tianyue County, the two adjacent counties are eight or nine hundred miles away from each other, and even thousands of miles away from each other.
This is talking about neighboring counties, not counting one south and one north, one east and one west.
You can imagine the size of a county.
If we are flying from the two most distant counties in Tianzhou, the time required will be more than doubled.
He is definitely flying faster than in his previous life.
But among the states of Da Qi, Tianzhou’s area can only be said to be lower than middle. In terms of territory, it is far from being called a big state. In some large states, even several Tianzhou cannot be filled up.
In terms of land area, Daqi is actually the smallest among the Three Kingdoms. This is related to the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains and the West Sea.
Don't look at Xijin Lao, but it is neither close to the sea nor to monsters. It is adjacent to the desert. Its area is really larger than that of Daqi.
The largest country is naturally the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
But when compared with special places such as the mountains and seas, the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains, and the Ancient Burial Desert, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty seemed small.
The mountain and sea area is really a boundless primitive area, with countless creatures living in it.
One hundred thousand snow-capped mountains, this one hundred thousand is just a virtual reference, there are more than one hundred thousand snow-capped mountains there.
And the snow-capped mountains there are not just one that can be counted among the one hundred thousand.
Every snow mountain is a continuous mountain range.
This is especially true in the Burial Ancient Desert. The yellow sand is boundless and there is no end in sight.
If this desert is included in the Western Jin Dynasty, then it is the largest country in terms of land area.
This bird world is really big.
But An Lang just rolled his eyes at Zhou Qing's words.
"I have never seen such a big world before. It sounds like you have seen what other worlds are like, sir."
You are really right in judging people. , I just saw it.
Flying all the way through Tianbei County, we finally entered Tiangui County.
After finding the direction of Suzhen Palace, Zhou Qing turned the flying carpet.
You must first go to Suzhen Palace to see Chenyu.
I have been separated from Shen Yu for more than two months. This time is not long, but he does not know how long it will take to come back from Xuandu Temple this time, so this time is very long.
The location of Suzhen Palace is around the middle of Tiangui County. There is also Suzhen City there, which was built by Suzhen Palace and is extremely prosperous.
However, the distance between Suzhen City and Suzhen Palace is actually very far. They are not right next to each other, but it can be regarded as the outermost portal of Suzhen Palace.
Since Zhou Qing entered Tiangui County, he has discovered that the overall strength here is very good, and there are many practitioners in those towns.
There is no doubt that this is because of Suzhen Palace.
Since ancient times, Suzhen Palace has had disciples who have learned skills in the palace and then left there, spreading all over Tiangui County and even further afield.
These disciples who left Suzhen Palace are naturally one of the sources of many practitioners in Tiangui County.
They may not be able to teach many profound methods, but there is still no problem in guiding people to embark on the path of cultivation.
Most of these disciples who left Suzhen Palace were those who had exhausted their potential and had no hope of going any further.
If they stayed in the mountain, they would just sit there and wait to die, so Suzhen Palace was kind and willing to let them go down the mountain.
Sometimes, the world of mortals is not a bad place to go.
Of course, after leaving Suzhen Palace, you can no longer consider yourself a disciple of Suzhen.
It is impossible for you to get married and have children after coming down from the mountain, or even go astray, and still be called Suzhen's disciple.
At that time, there was only Xiao Hong, not Su Zhen's disciple Xiao Hong.
However, because of these reasons, Suzhen Palace can be said to be a holy place in the hearts of everyone in Tiangui County. Everyone, regardless of gender, yearns for it.
Although only female disciples are accepted there, this does not affect it. Instead, it makes men yearn for it even more...
Flying all the way, Zhou Qing arrived at Suzhen City.
This is the first time he has seen the portal of the top Taoist tradition. The last time he went to participate in the martial arts school rating, in order to facilitate them, the two parties separated before they arrived at Suzhen City.
An Lang was also outside, and she asked in surprise:
"Sir, why is Suzhen City like this?"
Suzhen City is not that it looks like that. Tall and ancient, the strangest thing about it is that... it has no city walls.
This is a city without walls, and its style is very different from all the cities Zhou Qing has visited before.
Buildings just stand on the ground. The planning is very neat, but they extend wantonly and have no boundaries.
An Lang was surprised, but Zhou Qing was in a daze.
"Yes, how could there be a city like this..."
But the cities he lived in in his previous life were all like this, and there were no so-called city walls.
If the building in front of him was not an ancient style building, then he really thought that a modern city appeared in front of him.
“But a city like this looks very nice, doesn’t it?” Zhou Qing gathered his thoughts and smiled:
"There is a sense of no restraint and no boundaries."
Not to mention anything else, the light is much better.
A city wall so tall that it can touch the sky, everything is blocked.
An Lang nodded, "That's true."
Without a city wall, there would naturally be no such thing as a city gate, but it doesn't mean that you can get it from just any corner. There is still a prescribed entrance to enter Suzhen City.
After getting closer, Zhou Qing discovered that there was an invisible but spiritually perceptible membrane outside the urban fringe areas outside the prescribed entrances.
And it is extremely broad, covering the entire city.
Formation?
Zhou Qing thought to himself, and when he saw him observing the membrane, there was a young man next to him who smiled and talked to him.
“Is this brother’s first time coming to Suchen City?”
"Yes, this is the first time." Zhou Qing nodded, "I was a little surprised, it feels different from other places."
The young man said with great pride:
"Of course it is different, This is a place directly protected by Suzhen Palace. The entire Tianzhou There is no safer place than here. Brother, you have come here at the right time."
"Have you seen the light of Suzhen? It's the light film covering this place."
“Is that called the light of Suzhen?”
"Yes, that is the protection of the entire Suzhen City. Even though we don't have a city wall here, it is safer than a city wall. No one can sneak in quietly."
"Day and night, Suzhen The true light will protect us so that we can spend every day with peace of mind.”
The young man enthusiastically introduced to Zhou Qing:
"If Suzhen City is going to expand, then the light of Suzhen will continue to move outside, freeing up new areas, which is particularly convenient."
Zhou Qing nodded, "This is indeed very convenient."
"This is my first time here. I don't know what the rules are in Suzhen City. Please give me some advice from my brother."
"Go into the city first and talk as we go."
"Okay."< br>
Zhou Qing followed the young man into the city. He could see that this was a relatively familiar and local resident of Suzhen City, and he was quite proud of his identity as a citizen of Suzhen City.
This mentality is not surprising.
If your hometown is developed and prosperous, you will definitely feel proud.
This young man has a very healthy mentality, and may even despise all outsiders.
“In Suzhen City, the most important rule to abide by is not to do bad things. This is similar to other places.”
“If you are here to do business, brother, you need to buy a house. For shops and other things, you have to go to Suzhen Mansion to report and obtain permission. In short, many things must be reported there first."
"Every year, the masters of Suzhen Palace come to Suzhen City. Recruiting disciples..."
The young people were indeed very enthusiastic and fully demonstrated their sense of ownership.
Finally, Zhou Qing planned to treat him to a meal to express his gratitude, but the young man refused.
Zhou Qing was walking on the street alone, observing the city.
The spiritual outlook of the people here can be said to be completely different from other places. They are high-spirited and full of vitality.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
If a city like Suzhen Palace, which is directly under the direct jurisdiction of the top orthodoxy, still has people in dire straits, it would be simply...
The world is too big for Suzhen Palace to control.
But they can still manage a city.
It is impossible to support a whole city for nothing, but Suzhen Palace can do it by giving them a chance to support themselves.
As for the people at the bottom, do they ask for much?
not much.
As long as you can survive by your own efforts, you have something to eat and something to wear. It doesn’t have to be good, just have it.
But with such low requirements, such a humble person should be robbed and trampled on!
Zhou Qing looked at this city for a long time and thought it was really good.
If he were a mortal, then this place would be a fairyland to him.
