There are many great rivers originating from Baimang Mountain, one of which winds and flows through four large or small secular countries: Yu, Qi, Qi, and Yu. The last one is called Pingcang River.

The river met another river named Lushui in Yong'en County, Yu State, and after a long journey, the vast water poured into the boundless ocean.

This Pingcang River divides the seventeen counties of Qi State into two. Fengyi County is located in the south of Pingcang River. The land is fertile and the water network is dense. Every midsummer, the monsoon blowing from the vast sea brings here

A lot of water and heat came, and crops such as rice grew vigorously and were harvested twice a year. It was the first-class grain producing area in Qi State.

As a county town, Fengyicheng also relies on rivers, lakes, canals and other water conservancy and transportation connections, attracting merchants from various counties and countries. There are many ships stopping and going at the docks near here every day, even for some docking fees and

From the coolie money, the county, city, government and various aristocratic families made a lot of money. Of course, such unseemly things are naturally taken care of by those in the gangs.

…

After night falls, if someone looks down from the sky, apart from some scattered lights nearby, only this county is brightly lit.

A young man wearing a green robe and a neatly groomed mustache was walking slowly on the street. This was Zhang Shiping, who had traveled more than ten days from Baimang Mountain and arrived at Fengyi County in Qi State tonight.

, although the city gate has been closed long ago, Zhang Shiping is not a mortal, so why wait until tomorrow to enter the city.

At this moment, the night is as cold as water, the moon is crescent in the sky, there is no curfew in the county, the streets are full of hawking, and there are fireworks and willows in the restaurants and theaters, which is even more lively.

Zhang Shiping was walking on the street, and there were several young men with flowers on their heads and wearing various brocade clothes who happened to pass by him. The faces of these people were all blue, the eye sockets were a little dry, and they looked like a bohemian, surrounded by slaves.

Next, chatting and laughing, we walked into a fragrant and pink pavilion.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, Mr. Huang, Mr. Chen, you are here. Yan Niang misses you so much." A woman in her thirties with a sullen face at the door was holding a peach blossom fan and saw that

Several young men came over and hurried up to greet them with a smile.

One of the young men wearing royal blue brocade clothes hugged the coquettish woman and touched her other hand somewhere, causing the woman to moan proudly, "Mr. Zhang." Several other young men had also arrived early.

They were already hugging each other, and walked in with a playful smile.

When Zhang Shiping walked over, he happened to see the Zhang family's mark tattooed on the man's sleeve. He frowned slightly. He didn't like this man's frivolous behavior, but he didn't go up to scold him directly. He was just a person on the left and right.

They are just mortals, so why should he be angry? What's more, these people are most likely bastards who just want to have fun. If they work too hard, it will lead to disaster.

If this person was not a member of the Zhang family, Zhang Shiping wouldn't even bother to take a look at it. The Zhang family has been passed down for more than four hundred years, and there are all kinds of birds in the forest. If he gets angry even over such trivial things, wouldn't he be in a state of mind that he has practiced for many years?

It’s like practicing in vain.

The quality of each branch of the Zhang family is naturally watched by people from the family patriarchal hall, but those in the patriarchal hall are concerned about the reputation of the Zhang family outside the country, and will not care about whether a person is lustful or not.

For small things, as long as it doesn't harm the general body, that's fine.

Things have priorities, importance, and urgency. If you care about everything, then Zhang Shiping doesn't need to practice.

Zhang Shiping plans to go to the sect hall in the east of the city first to see what the situation is like. If he has time later, he will go to see what the Feng Yi Zhang family is like, and then he will be able to question and train him.

That's all. It's nothing more than the old habits of some aristocratic families who are extravagant and impetuous, moaning for no reason.

The Jiaozuo Sect has multiple secular halls in more than a dozen nearby secular countries. Each hall has three to five monks. These people are all in their forties, fifties, or even sixty years old.

Their high level of cultivation is only at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training, while those of the low level are at two or three levels of Qi training. They are monks with poor spiritual root qualifications and no hope of building a foundation.

Originally, in this secular world with insufficient spiritual energy, the speed of cultivation is as slow as a snail, and because the sect's qi-training monks who come here, whether voluntary or forced by the sect, many monks have a self-defeating mentality after arriving here.

, over time, they abandon their practice, and sometimes their cultivation level declines instead of rising.

The ancestral hall of Fengyi County in the State of Qi is in the east of this county. It is said that the east is noble and the west is rich, and the south is poor and the north is humble. The people who can live in the east of the city are either prominent officials or aristocratic families. Ordinary wealthy businessmen can only

Lives in the west of the city.

There is a large garden in the east of the city that is the most conspicuous. It stretches for three and a half miles in a circle from the door. There are countless beautiful buildings and jade buildings in it. It is still brightly lit after nightfall. The lights and candles in one night consume too much fuel.

It can feed a family of three for a whole year.

Not to mention the bells ringing and the food being eaten, the servants swarming, and so on, the gate alone is taller and larger than other families. The black-clothed servants guarding the door all hold their heads high and their chests high, and they look very handsome.

Three points of confidence.

Zhang Shiping walked to the gate, used his invisibility technique and walked in directly. The servants in black who were guarding the gate were not aware of it.

The information Zhang Shiping got from the mission was that the whereabouts of two middle-stage Qi-training monks sent by the sect were unknown a month and a half ago. Except for the fact that the two initially conveyed a piece of news about evil cultivators, there was no other news.

Zhang Shiping thought that maybe the entrance to the Fengyi County Hall of the sect had been occupied by evil cultivators, but it was not certain. He had to investigate carefully first. If he swaggered in, usually with his own foundation-building cultivation, he would be able to

You won't encounter any danger in the world, but if something happens, you only have one life.

The garden was very large. After Zhang Shiping walked for a while, he saw two servants holding lanterns in the front corridor. Behind them, there was a long queue of about twenty maids, carrying various dishes in their hands and walking slowly.

Zhang Shiping followed behind, and after walking for a while, the people entered a small courtyard. Several large butter candles as thick as arms were lit in the room, which was as bright as day.

He looked over and saw eight people sitting in the banquet. The young ones were in their thirties and the old ones were over seventy years old. Behind each of them stood a handsome maid waiting on them. The sound of silk and bamboo in the room reached Zhang Shiping's ears.

Sitting at the top was a monk named Zhao Dezhu. Zhang Shiping matched his appearance with the image he saw from the sect mission. Except that his face was a little older, everything else was the same. After all, he was already in his sixties.

.

Zhang Shiping used his Heavenly Eye Technique and looked at everyone on the table from a distance. On the left and right of the monk Zhao Dezhu who was sitting at the head of the table, there was a monk who was several years younger than him. Only three of them had auras on their bodies, and the remaining few

There is no aura of aura in them, they are all mortals.

There were four monks from the sect at the entrance of Fengyi County. Now that Zhang Shiping had seen three people, the entrance to the hall was considered normal. He thought for a moment, could it be that the two monks in the middle stage of Qi training in the sect were returning?

What happened on the sect's road?

Zhang Shiping lowered his head to think, but felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't remember it for a while. Suddenly, Zhang Shiping raised his head, his pupils shrank, and he used the Heavenly Eye Technique again to look at the three sect monks on the table.

The auras of these three people were vague, as if they had practiced some method of condensing their auras and hiding their cultivation. When Zhang Shiping first looked at it, he first noticed that they were a little far away, and secondly, he thought it was because in this secular world with insufficient spiritual energy, they were here for

Concentrate your own spiritual power and pressure to prevent your Dantian mana from dissipating into the outside world.

But when he took a closer look, he found that the two people on the left and right were actually at the seventh level of Qi training, and the one in the middle, Zhao Dezhu, was at the eighth level of Qi training. In this world, it is considered good that the cultivation of these three people has not deteriorated.
