After the world collapsed

Chapter 140 Swamp
Zhang Sheng put down the teacup in his hand, words such as Xinmeng came to mind.

Xiao Yicai told him in the sound transmission that there is no need to worry about Xiaoyaozong for the time being. Nearly half of the foundation-building monks who participated in the attack of the Xinmeng also lost nearly half, which can be regarded as a serious injury. There is no action.

Moreover, the Immortal League is powerful, even if the Xiaoyao Sect wants to take revenge, it is not in a hurry. It is impossible for all members of the sect to send out to the Xinmeng to actively seek war.

Zhang Shengxin said that Wang Shi was more righteous, and that he was in the tense stage of confrontation with the new alliance in the camp of the old alliance, and he could actually take the matter of the black robe to his heart and help them find it.

This is Zhang Sheng's wrong thinking. Although Wang Shi, the imperial master of the Xianmeng that Xiao Yicai took him to visit, is from the Xiaoyao Sect, he has always been a rather old-fashioned person, and he acts according to the rules in the Xianmeng.

So he does not belong to the new alliance or the old alliance, he is just in the position of the imperial master of the immortal alliance, doing what the immortal alliance should do, such as investigating the threat of the reincarnation hall.

He also sees very clearly the struggle between the two factions in the alliance. No matter how sanctimonious it is on the surface, it is actually for the purpose of strengthening its own interests.

In fact, both sides have been trying their best to win over Wang Shi, but none of them got a reply from him. Wang Shi and his members of the Xianmeng also remained neutral from beginning to end.

Finding a monk in the huge Qianyuan Realm is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. Without the help of Wang Shi and his subordinate Xianmeng forces, it would take years to find a monk with Zhang Sheng and the others.

Zhang Sheng has been around the northwestern border of the Great Jin Kingdom for half a month. Although he did not find any trace of the black robe, he found another piece of news.

That is, the Great Jin Kingdom is about to be invaded by neighboring countries. Yes, after Xiaoyaozong was attacked, this mortal country is also eyeing the Great Jin Kingdom in its area.

The war here was also without warning. By the time the Jin Kingdom reacted, Xibo City, where they bordered the neighboring country, had been captured by a surprise attack.

As immortal cultivators, Zhang Sheng and Zhang Sheng would not easily intervene in this kind of war, but they once asked Xiao Yicai what was the cause of this battle in confusion.

After thinking about it, the latter gave him an answer, which was Shangyun Ling.

According to past experience, the Token of Shangyun will randomly appear in a large area near Yunding Tiangong.

Yunding Tiangong will soon appear in the south-central region of Qianyuan Realm, which is the northwest direction of the Great Jin Kingdom.

The country that invaded the Great Jin is called the Great Southern Kingdom, and the power of the Great Southern Kingdom is several times stronger than that of the Great Jin Kingdom. The Great Southern Kingdom borders the Great Jin Kingdom in the southeast, the West Chu Kingdom in the west, and the Beiji Kingdom in the north, which occupies Qianyuan. A colossus that covers half the land.

The Yunding Tiangong will appear within the territory of the Great Southern Kingdom without any accidents, because the current location of the Great Southern Kingdom has the largest number of Shangyun orders.If it weren't for the protection of the Immortal Alliance in the Great Southern Kingdom at this time, immortal cultivators from all sides would have already settled here.

Even so, there are still many cultivating forces who have made deals with Great Southern Kingdom and reached cooperation.

The Great Southern Kingdom did not sit idle either, and directly took this opportunity to start expanding its territory, invading Western Chu in the west and Jin in the east. Except for the Northern Ji Kingdom, which he did not dare to move, the troops divided into two groups and began to expand its territory.

The larger their territory, the higher the chance of finding the Shangyun Token. After all, the biggest advantage of the Mortal Realm over the Immortal Cultivation Realm is the large number of people.

Dananguo wants to exchange more Shangyun Tokens for support or resources from the world of cultivating immortals.

"You said their ultimate goal would not be to compete with the Beiji Kingdom." Zhang Sheng suddenly felt that the Great Southern Kingdom's ambitions seemed not small, and their ultimate goal might be to unify the mortal forces in the Qianyuan Realm?

First destroy the Great Jin, then swallow the Western Chu, and finally fight against the Beiji Kingdom. If they really succeed, I don't know if the Xianmeng will intervene in it.

But Xianmeng is too busy to take care of itself now, how can it be free to take care of this side, after all, there is only one Wang Shi.

The short-haired boy sitting across from him ignored his conjecture. His master disappeared, and his senior brother, Mr. Huang Long, also passed away. He was left alone to pursue the way of swordsmanship, and his heart became more determined because of this. don't care.

Following Zhang Sheng, I just want to see the style of the sword forged by my senior brother, and take a tour to broaden my horizons and strengthen my mood.

The town where the two of them are now is called Zaoze Town. It is said that it was called Marsh Town in the early years because there are a lot of swamps nearby.

The reason why Zhang Sheng came here is also because of the swamp.

It's just not the swamps around the town, but because of an underground force here, the swamp with the same name.

After wandering around the northwest border for half a month, he didn't see half a hair of the black robe. This made Zhang Sheng somewhat suspicious. The doubt was not whether Wang Shi's news was accurate, but that the black robe seemed to have the ability to avoid them. In other words, this person has a strong ability to hide himself.

During this period, Zhang Sheng, who was walking in the mortal world, also found out about the Marsh organization. As the largest underground intelligence killer organization on the northwest border, I believe it would be much easier to ask them to help find a black robe.

Zhang and Sheng were sitting on the open-air seat outside the teahouse to rest, and his eyes were not idle, he kept casually looking at the people coming and going on the street.

Finally, a shabby driver parked his car by the wall across the street and caught Zhang Sheng's attention. This person's face was smeared dark and covered with a sunshade hat, so he couldn't see most of his face. It's normal for a driver, but His palms and tiger's mouth didn't have any calluses.

The car he pulls is the kind that pulls goods, not the kind of rickshaw that pulls people.

These coachmen who deliver goods without horses and relying on manpower rely on their own strength, how could there be no calluses on their hands all the year round.

Other drivers would subconsciously move their wrists or rub their palms when they put down the cart, but he omitted these steps.

With Zhang Sheng's eyes, it is easy to see this disguise.

Sure enough, after the coachman rested on the spot for a while, he quickly left a strange wave-shaped mark on the corner of the wall behind him.

Then he pulled the car and left.

This imprint is exactly the method used by the Swamp Organization to communicate with the outside world. The coachman must be about to meet after contacting someone, and the person who contacts the Swamp Organization will follow the coachman after seeing this imprint.

Then follow these two people and you should be able to find the gathering point in the swamp.

With a glance, a well-dressed woman walked to the rickshaw pulling people, said something, got into the rickshaw and left, in the same direction as the driver left.

Seeing this, Zhang Sheng tapped on the table lightly, and then looked at the woman who got in the car and left.

The boy with curly hair opened his eyes and finished sitting cross-legged. When he saw Zhang Sheng's gaze, his eyes became strange.

Zhang Sheng dropped a piece of broken silver and followed him with his body. The speed was not fast, even a little leisurely.

Because the auras of these two people have already been locked by Zhang Sheng, they are not afraid of being lost if they follow from afar.

This Zaoze Town can be described as a land of Wuhe. Along the way, Zhang Sheng saw at least five thieves. I don't care anymore.

No wonder the cultivators don't interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, they really don't see what they see.

There are too many people from the rivers and lakes gathered in this small town, and thieves are nothing more than common.

But most of the rivers and lakes here are low-ranking people.

What is the bottom line?
Zhang Sheng followed the old Taoists in Fengping City since he was a child. Although the place is small, there are rivers and lakes wherever there are people.

Since he was a child, he has known an idiom called "three teachings and nine streams".

Leaving aside the three religions, they were all methods of prosperity in the land of Kyushu in ancient times.

In terms of the word Jiuliu alone, there are too many things contained in it.

Nine streams are divided into upper, middle and lower parts. I don’t know who made these into a joke like a jingle. Zhang Sheng remembers it by heart.

The upper nine ranks: first-rate Buddha, second-rate immortals, third-rate imperial courts and fourth-rate officials, fifth-rate cookers and sixth-rate benefactors, seven merchants, eight guests, and nine Zhuangtian.

Second-rate doctor, third-rate geomantic omen and fourth-rate critic, fifth-rate Danqing and six-rate physiognomy, seven monks, eight dao and nine qin chess.

The next nine streams: first-rate high platform, second-rate blowing, third-rate circus, fourth-rate pushing, fifth-rate pool, six-rate back rubbing, seven-level repair, eight-level match, and nine-level prostitution.

Zhang Sheng was quite lucky when he knew this fluent, their divination is considered to be the fourth-rate batch among the middle-nine streams, and the batch represents the batch horoscope, which means fortune-telling.

And theft is naturally a low-level way.

But this is just a proverb in the Jianghu, except for the upper class, the middle class and the lower class have long been blurred.However, in some places, even if rich businessmen or errands come, they can still enjoy themselves.

This is the case in Hayazawa Castle.

But Zhang Sheng didn't worry about this, he followed these two breaths all the way and finally entered a small alley.

Zhang Sheng didn't need to use his spiritual consciousness. Although there were almost no immortal cultivators like them in these places, he only used the Qi Wang technique to observe in case of foreign ones.

Immortal cultivators are very sensitive to spiritual consciousness. If there is not much difference in cultivation base, they will both discover each other's spiritual consciousness. Therefore, in order to prevent surprises, Zhang Sheng has always used the qi technique to replace it.

I have to say that the unique method of qi-watching technique is really miraculous. When the old Taoist taught him how powerful it was, he didn't realize how helpful the wang-qi technique was until he experienced it. Judgment.

This woman is also really courageous, she dared to look into the deep alley alone, and she didn't know what the purpose of this "swamp" was.

At the same time, Zhang Sheng discovered that there were many auras hidden on both sides of the alley, which should be the secret whistle of the swamp.

Although the breath did not fluctuate when the woman passed by, Zhang Sheng believed that the two of them would not be so lucky if they followed the alley.

He decided not to rush, and then observe.

When he adjusted his eyes to look deeper, a light blue breath came into his eyes.

In this "swamp" there are monks from the Foundation Establishment Realm sitting in town?
