Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

"Hahaha……"

Hearing the words of the big man with the beard, several team members burst out laughing, quite happy.

Ever since they were beaten and fled in all directions outside Changping City, they have been wandering all the way for many days.

Now that the Qingping Palace is destroyed, there is a foundation, and there is no need to wander around, which is naturally the best result.

"Brother."

A team was laughing and approaching and said, "Don't forget, there are several villages and towns nearby."

"Let's not do those things that kill chickens to get eggs, but we must also squeeze their oil and water dry!"

"right!"

Hearing this, the big bearded man's eyes lit up, and he said, "Don't worry, I won't forget them!"

"We occupy Cuiping Mountain now, they can't escape..."

While they were talking, another soldier rushed to report: "Report to the captain, we found a secret room."

"The secret room?"

The bearded man's expression moved slightly, and he immediately waved his hand: "Let's go and have a look together."

Soon, everyone came from the basement of Cangzhen Pavilion to Shangqing Pavilion, the deepest pavilion in Qingping Palace.

In the Shangqing Pavilion, a wall had been smashed, revealing a secret room about two feet square, and several soldiers were guarding the door with torches in hand.

"this……"

The big man with the beard and a few team members walked into the secret room and took a look, then their expressions changed.

In this secret room, what is stored is not gold and silver treasures, but armor, bows and crossbows, and weapons.

On the shelf on the left side, dozens of swords and swords are neatly placed, all wrapped in kraft paper, and there is a smell of oil, which is obviously maintained from time to time.

In addition, there are more than a dozen strong crossbows, all of which have been loosened, and next to them are stacked crossbow bolts, filled with two large boxes.

Finally, there are some most conspicuous pieces of armor. Apart from a few pieces of thick leather armor, there is also a pair of bright silver fine iron full body armor, which looks majestic and majestic.

"What the fuck is wrong with the world, all the Taoist temples hide bows and crossbow armor privately."

The big man with curly beard cursed, and there was unstoppable fear in his eyes.

Looking at these armors and powerful crossbows, it was not difficult for him to imagine what kind of situation they would face once the Taoist priests in Qingping Palace were prepared.

Among other things, if the old Taoist priest were to put on this fine iron armor, the three of them would not be enough to be killed.

Once he was killed on the spot, when there was no one to command and the army was in chaos, a few Taoist priests in armor would be the front arrows, and the rest would be armed with crossbows. I am afraid that not a few people will die and they will be easily defeated.

"so far so good……"

The eyes of several teams are also full of joy.

This time the raid was successful, mainly because they acted covertly, and they had been lurking in the mountains and forests since they fled to the vicinity, without revealing their whereabouts.

After grabbing a tongue and extorting a confession by torture to find out the layout and number of Taoist temples, he decided to launch a surprise attack at night and beat the Taoist priests of Qingping Palace by surprise, so that he could succeed in one fell swoop.

During this process, if there is an accident, it will be difficult to say the end of this trip.

"hey-hey……"

After the big man with the beard calmed down, he quickly laughed: "These bull-nosed people, no matter how well-prepared they are, they are still dead?"

"They are dead, these things are all cheaper for our brothers! Hahaha..."

Several teams heard the words, looked at each other, and laughed loudly.

…………

Seven days later.

Changping City, in the lobby of Yunlai Inn.

It was noon, and there were many people sitting in the lobby of Yunlai Inn, eating and drinking, and chatting nonsense.

"Have you heard that there is a new and vicious army in the south?"

"Yes, I also heard about it two days ago. It is said that the group of rebels killed all the Taoist priests in Qingping Palace and took over the mountain as king."

"Your news is outdated. I heard that they extort money, food and women from good families from several villages and towns down the mountain."

"Hey, before I went to the city with my uncle, I went to the Qingping Palace. I didn't expect the inheritance of hundreds of years to be gone like this."

"Who said it wasn't? A few years ago, I heard that there was a rebel army attacking the Qingping Palace, and most of them were killed in the end. I didn't expect that they couldn't stop it this time..."

Many diners were talking about it, and the destruction of the Qingping Palace seemed to have become a hot topic for a while.

As a well-known Taoist temple in ten miles and eight towns, Qingping Palace still has a considerable influence, and many people in Changping City know about it and feel sorry for it.

In the corner of the lobby on the first floor, Zhang Yao was wearing a long gown, with a blank expression on his face, and a shadow flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"I have been waiting for a few days, and there is still no news."

"It seems that Master Guanlu has indeed died in Qingping Palace..."

When he thought of this, his mood was very complicated.

Seven days ago, he set out for Changping, picked up clothes and shoes from a farmer on the way, and it took him two and a half days to get to Changping.

After arriving in Changping, he bought clean clothes, went to Yunlai Inn and opened a room, and collected information about Qingping Palace in Changping City.

If any of the Taoist priests and Taoist boys in Qingping Palace escaped, even if there were only four or five of them, the news would not be kept secret, so he could try to find out about the real Guanlu.

But now—

Seven days passed, and there was no news about it.

"Or, apart from me, there is no one alive in Qingping Palace."

"Or, only one or two people escaped, and deliberately concealed their identities like me."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao could only sigh.

Under the current circumstances, he couldn't take the risk to go back and look for it, so he could only acquiesce that Master Guanlu was dead.

The Qingping Palace is gone, and the teacher is dead, so it's time for him to make plans for himself.

Zhang Yao speeded up. After finishing his meal, he got up to pay the bill and returned to the room on the second floor.

"Um……"

He sat on the round stool, pondered for a while, and touched the hard object on his waist.

In addition to buying a set of clean clothes, he also bought needles and threads, and sewed a lot of dark pockets in his waist and abdomen to hold those silver ingots.

These silver ingots, totaling one hundred and twenty-five taels, are the capital for him to gain a foothold in Changping City.

"Let's use it to practice martial arts according to the original plan."

Zhang Yao quickly made up his mind.

He also considered using the money to do business and buy property, but none of these made him feel at ease by practicing martial arts.

He is already immortal, if he wants to pursue wealth, power, and enjoy life, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so it is better to learn the skills first.

"There are five major martial arts halls in Changping City."

"The five major martial arts schools openly accept students and teach martial arts. Each has its own signature unique skills..."

In Zhang Yao's mind, thoughts continued to be calculated.

He has not been idle in Changping City for the past few days. He has been wandering in restaurants and tea shops, chatting with many people and getting a lot of useful information.

"Which one of the five major martial arts gyms should I choose?"
