I have an eternal eye

The sky was dark and foggy.

Accompanied by the roar of thunder, heavy rain poured down, instantly submerging the mountain road.

Wow!

Mud and water flowed across the hillside, and trees and clods of soil on the hillside were washed away and collapsed, mixed with stones and gravel, and converged into surging torrents, rushing down.

"Quick, back off!"

Cui Laodao shouted loudly, and the disciples of the Tiandi Sect quickly led the carriage and retreated, narrowly avoiding the mudslide.

After Zhang Biao rescued Cui Laodao, Taoist Chang Geng made a prompt decision and divided the Heaven and Earth Gate into two, allowing those who were willing to follow Cui Laodao to Qingfeng Village.

Walking in a hurry, we caught up with a heavy rain.

After a while, everyone continued to move forward after the mudslide passed by.

The mountain road was destroyed, making it difficult for people and horses to move.

Although we tried hard to avoid slides and quagmire, we still inevitably encountered landslides and potholes.

The mules and horses neighed and trembled in the muddy water. They were very tired. Braving the rain, fog and strong wind, everyone could only move forward along the piled stones and soil.

Everyone knows that it is very dangerous to travel in this weather, but they have no choice because the back road has been completely blocked by flash floods.

The only thing that can be done is to keep moving forward.

Zhang Biao was also in the team, but he was also helpless. In the face of this disaster, no spells were useless.

Fortunately, he had already called for help.

"Quack!"

As we approached Duliang Mountain, the thunderous sound of frogs croaked.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground rumbled and trembled, and several centipedes as thick as arms suddenly crawled out of the mud, fleeing in panic.

Everyone looked up and opened their mouths.

I saw a huge toad falling from the sky in the thick fog and heavy rain. With a thud, mud splashed everywhere, and with a flick of its big tongue, it licked a few centipedes into its mouth, and then licked them a few times.

"Big, big toad..."

Even though Zhang Biao had warned him in advance, many disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect still felt weak in their legs when faced with this tall building.

"It's Bao Chan, Big Du Ye!"

Cui Laodao slapped the disciple next to him on the back of the head and looked at the big belly man with a smile on his face.

The presence of this thing in Qingfeng Village is enough to show that Zhang Biao is tyrannical.

Furthermore, when he saw the big-bellied man, he felt inexplicably happy and murmured: "The golden toad spits out brilliant light, which is an auspicious sign..."

Zhang Biao also had a smile on his face, "Fellow Taoist Dadu, I'm sorry to trouble you."

He was much more comfortable getting along with these mountain gods and beasts than humans. Both Yanshangu and Daduye were extremely docile.

Moreover, Master Dadu hunts poisonous insect monsters everywhere, and his status is far higher than him in the hearts of the people in Moyang City.

"Quack!"

Big Duye screamed and opened his mouth wide.

Everyone quickly put the supplies in with salute.

Seeing that there was some free time inside, Mr. Cui sat down with a smile on his face and said, "Come here for those who are brave, let Mr. Big Belly give us a ride."

Immediately, several brave boys got in.

Zhang Biao looked strange, but did not stop him.

Boom!

The big-bellied man closed his mouth, exerted force with his thick legs, and with a loud noise and splashing mud, he jumped into the air and disappeared into the thick fog.

"Let's go, speed up!"

Without the burden of luggage, everyone speeded up immediately, crossed Duliang Mountain, and finally rushed back to Qingfeng Village at dark.

Cui Laodao and others had already returned, and now their faces were all pale, and they were squatting under the eaves, retching.

Yu Ziqing and others gathered around with faces full of joy.

"Brother Zhang!"

"Master!"

After Zhang Biao left, they were worried all the time. When they saw that Zhang Biao returned safely, they let go of their worries.

"Master, can we win over Yunxia Pass?"

Tie Yucheng asked worriedly.

"Disaster."

Zhang Biao pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, "The significance of Yunxia Pass to Daliang is extraordinary. I was still wary of it before, but this time the emptiness of the pass has been taken away. It has been revealed. It will be difficult to take it back again."

"Why?" Tie Yucheng asked doubtfully.

"Because of the price!"

Wang Xin next to him took over the conversation.

Since he learned the art of controlling demons and returned to his normal appearance, his temperament has become much more cheerful. With a hint of joking in his calmness, he shook his head and said: "Before I entered the six gates, I also read some military books. The battle at the checkpoint is not about To seize, but to defend, depends on whether you are willing to pay a sufficient price.”

"Yunxia Pass is the gateway, which is of great significance to Daliang. Obtaining this pass can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. This is also the guarantee that it can attack the Yanjia Sect with peace of mind."

"I didn't know the details before, but now that I can easily occupy it, I won't let go anymore. It's worth spending tens of thousands of lives."

"Compared with Huaizhou, Xuanduguan values ​​Bozhou where the sect is located, so he only sent less than a hundred disciples. If the war becomes serious, they can retreat at any time."

"As for King Huaizhou and the four major families, the military strength in their hands is their only bargaining chip."

"Without these troops, even Xuandu Temple would abandon them immediately. How could they put all their efforts into Yunxia Pass?"

"So, the day Yunxia Pass was breached, it had already changed hands and could never be taken back again."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

They knew that Wang Xin was right. The direction of the war was never about gains and losses in one city or one pool. At least at this stage, the battle was about resource consumption.

The fog came, the roads were blocked, and famine was everywhere in Huaizhou. The king of Huaizhou and the four major families would not hesitate to destroy their foundation, spend a lot of materials, and use the power of the entire state to fight to the death with Daliang.

No one believes it.

Yu Kui and Wu Tiexiong looked at each other with worry on their faces: "What should we do? How about we move?"

"Not urgent."

Zhang Biao shook his head and said: "Fighting on two fronts in Daliang, it is an unexpected surprise to capture Yunxia Pass. At least there will be no large-scale invasion of Huaizhou until the war in Cangzhou in Luzhou ends."

"Just wait and see, practice hard from today on, and wait until the situation becomes clear before making a decision."

"Yes, Immortal Master!"

"Yes, Master!"

After admonishing everyone, Zhang Biao returned to the cave.

Because without his instructions, the people in Qingfeng Village did not dare to enter without permission, so they accumulated a lot of dust after not returning home for several days.

After Zhang Biao cleaned up, he sat cross-legged and recovered his true energy. When night fell, he took his magic weapon and left Qingfeng Village under the darkness and rain.

Not long after, he arrived at the canyon.

Now that he no longer concealed his aura, Yanshangu noticed it from a distance and spiraled up from the bottom of the abyss along the cliff, happily spitting out the letter.

"Hahaha, fellow Taoist, you are fine."

Looking at the silly snake, Zhang Biao's gloomy mood improved again. He took out five Awakening Herbs from the Panlong Gourd and handed them out, "I'll get you some after the next batch matures."

Aunt Yanshan's eyes were full of joy. After swallowing the Awakening Grass, she shook her head and led Zhang Biao into the canyon.

Due to successive heavy rains, flash floods also broke out in the abyss below. The original swamp was completely submerged, and densely packed poisonous insects ran out and climbed on the cliffs on both sides.

These poisonous insects were fighting and devouring each other. Their limbs were flying, and they were crowded together and surging wildly. From time to time, some fell off and were washed away by the flash flood, which looked extremely scary.

When one person and one snake arrived, the insects were immediately frightened and dispersed, leaving a large area.

Yanshangu didn't care. Her tail and body were hooked on the protruding rock, and her upper body was raised up, staring at an area of ​​​​the river.

Zhang Biao knew that this was the haunt of Huozhi in Sanming.

This precious medicine is good at escaping to the ground, and only Yanshangu, who has been practicing below all year round, can occasionally see it and record its location.

But what Zhang Biao was more interested in were these poisonous insects.

He frowned and murmured: "It turned out to be a natural breeding ground for Gu. As time goes by, evil Gu insect monsters will probably be born. It just so happens that I will take Mr. Big Belly to clean it up some other day..."

It has been more than half a year since the spiritual energy recovered. Affected by the fog disaster, these astonishing numbers of insects have begun to rise.

During this period, in the area around Moyang City, even with Big Du Ye suppressing it, there were still reports of insect monsters attacking people from time to time.

Next year, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult...

Wow!

At this moment, something suddenly appeared in the murky river water, like a tortoise shell shaped like a melon seed, which was the outer shell of Sanming Fire Seed.

The nails slowly unfolded and Baozhi stretched.

A strange fragrance suddenly filled the canyon, and countless poisonous insects swarmed around. They were not afraid of life and death, rushing into the water, but they were washed away by the roaring torrents in an instant, and they went nowhere.

All sentient beings risk their lives to fight for the opportunities in heaven and earth.

Bang!

The magic pill exploded, and a thick pale golden mist shrouded the Sanming Earth Fire Zhi, making it unable to move. However, Zhang Biao had already floated out through the invisible hook lock, chopped off the Baozhi with a knife and took it away.

"Hiss!"

Yanshangu was very excited. She twisted her huge body and swept away all the poisonous insects around her.

Without Bao Zhi, the tortoise shell also slowly retracted.

Zhang Biao put the Sanming Dihuozhi into the Panlong gourd and looked at the shell thoughtfully.

This thing is the rhizome of Baozhi, and the multi-eyed centipede in the southwest cave devours this thing before its bloodline explodes.

But obviously leaving the roots is the better choice. Maybe a new Sanming Dihuozhi will be born in a few years and bring opportunities to others.

What concerned him was Baozhi's characteristics.

Fearing the nightmare curse of divine magic, and rooted in the underground fire veins, it is completely unaffected by the interruption of spiritual energy, and it still exists to this day...

He thought of the Ming Spark Seal in the cave. It must be the power of the spiritual world suppressing something deep in the earth's veins, and the spiritual energy that overflowed became the nourishment of Sanming Earth Fire Seed.

What kind of existence can have such power?

Judging from the performance of the sect, we do not know this secret. I am afraid that the period of its suppression can be traced back to an older era...

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao said loudly: "Fellow Taoist Yanshan, let's go to the next place!"

After that, one person and one snake went deeper along the abyss canyon...

The next day, it rained heavily again.

Zhang Biao returned to the cave and took out a Sanming fire sesame plant.

Perhaps it was due to the flash flood. He and Yanshangu worked all night, but only found two plants.

Although a little disappointed, it is enough for the time being.

After several hours of grinding the flour and lighting the fire, a pot of Three Gods Return Blood Soup was finally ready.

The three medicinal herbs complement each other and become a complete decoction, thick as paste, red as blood, and bubbling.

After just smelling it, I felt my blood surge.

I checked it with my spiritual vision and found that it had indeed reached the third level.

Looking at the decoction in front of him, Zhang Biao inexplicably remembered what Xu Chen said. His Taoism was ranked first in Huaizhou.

There may also be experts in the body-forging realm among the sect.

And according to Elder Hu of the Five Immortals Sect, all sects are now dormant and gathering momentum. The real masters are hiding and have not even appeared on the Luzhou battlefield. They probably have bigger plans.

The road ahead is long and there is still a long way to go...

The battle at Tiger Leaping Gorge not only surprised others, but also surprised him. Having reached the body-forging realm, he had an overwhelming advantage over low-level monks.

With his powerful body and reaction speed, the spells of the Yuzhenfu Ryuga Guards could not hit him at all, and he could be easily suppressed with just a few spells.

What about the body-forging realm monks from the sect? If the opponent uses flying swords, can he still block them?

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao took the soup and drank it in one gulp.

boom!

In the Dantian, it is like a furnace being lit, burning more and more vigorously. This is the medicinal power of Sanming ground fire sesame. Immediately, a cold air rose up, it was Xuanming Seven-leaf Ginseng.

The power of the three treasure medicines cooperate with each other and turn into a raging torrent, slowly flowing along the meridians of the whole body.

Zhang Biao's face turned red instantly, he slowly performed the exercises, moved Zhou Tian, ​​hugged the circle and kept one, and gradually fell into concentration.

After a while, the candles in the cave burned out, but the cave still shone with red light, which was the Three Yang True Fire above Zhang Biao's head.

Originally there were only two fireballs on his shoulders, but now above his head, a looming fire was flickering.

Outside the cave, the wind howled and the rain became more intense...
