A month later, Zhou Qing, who was flying in the sky, suddenly felt the temperature drop after crossing a non-existent line.

There seemed to be an invisible dividing line that divided the two areas.

Cold and heat would not make him feel uncomfortable at this level, but this did not mean that Zhou Qing had no sense of temperature changes.

On the contrary, not only is there feeling, but the feeling is quite sharp.

Some feelings that ordinary people can experience can be experienced several times, dozens of times or even more if practitioners wish.

It was also at this time that Qin Ming's voice rang out.

"Do you feel it? We're here at Hanzhou."

We have arrived at Hanzhou, so the weather has become a little colder, and this cold will become more and more severe as we get closer to the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains.

The wind blowing from the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains affects this land.

Feeling the deepening changes in the environment of heaven and earth, Zhou Qing sighed.

"It's only one step away, but the changes are obvious. It took a month, and I finally got there..."

After the battle with Ji Xingqiu, they traveled day and night for a whole month, passing through Qingzhou, Yuanzhou, Guzhou and other states, and finally arrived here.

The Xuandu Temple, the state religion of Da Qi in this era, can be said to be the most powerful sect in Da Qi. It is located here, overlooking the changes of time, and its own heritage seems to be eternal.

Because of the existence of the Master of Xuandu Temple, Xuandu Temple can indeed be called the strongest sect in Da Qi.

After all, the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce is of a different nature, and within the three human nations, its position is more inclined to be neutral, and the same is true for Zixiao City.

There is no need to say more about the other things.

For Zhou Qing, he had never traveled for such a long time or walked such a long distance in his life.

Not even in my previous life.

Of course, the reason why it took so long was more because they had to accommodate Zhou Qing. They stopped and walked along the road, rested every day, and gave him time to practice.

Although there are times when we have to travel during the day and at night, it does not mean we fly in the sky all the time without stopping.

So over the past month, Zhou Qing's practice did not stagnate and he made steady progress.

In addition to practicing, sometimes if Qin Ming happened to pass by some place worth seeing, he would take Zhou Qing to broaden his horizons and see the scenery of the world.

The Yuanling tribe of Yuanzhou, the ancient people of Guzhou, the vast wilderness, the country on the lake, the sky full of yellow sand...

Zhou Qing has seen these strange races and regions, and has gained a lot of knowledge.

Many things are very different from the situation in Tianzhou.

Or if they happen to come across the Wanxing Chamber of Commerce in a certain state capital holding a Wanxing Trade Fair, or some other auction or event, as long as the scale is similar, they will go and participate.

There are even some places where certain spiritual foods are famous, and the two will go there specifically to taste them. It goes without saying that a reputation is truly justified.

A delicacy that can spread throughout the world of cultivation and gain a great reputation is indeed not only delicious, but also has certain benefits for cultivation.

If it was some unpalatable food that didn't live up to its reputation, it would have been destroyed by some bad-tempered practitioners long ago.

During this month, Zhou Qing appeared in quite a few places, and he felt more open-minded.

So during this month's journey, they were not the kind of people who were exhausted from traveling so fast and so slow.

On the contrary, it’s actually quite pleasant.

Although we say we are in a hurry, it actually has a bit of the flavor of traveling.

At first Zhou Qing also thought that this might be a waste of time, but what Qin Ming said later made him feel that it made sense.

Understanding this world is also a kind of practice, and a very important one at that.

The further you advance in your practice, the more you should read and listen.

Nature is the best teacher. It can teach you the most fundamental and supreme truths.

The path of cultivation, the path of cultivation, is meant to be walked and observed.

So Zhou Qing realized that everything is for the purpose of cultivation.

After entering Hanzhou, Qin Ming lowered the altitude of the flying magic weapon and slowed down its speed so that Zhou Qing could see the situation on the ground.

This is the territory of Xuandu Temple. As a venerable master of Xuandu Temple, there is no need for him to be so cautious here and he can walk around freely.

But speaking of it, during the previous month of traveling, Zhou Qing and Qin Ming also encountered some special situations, such as being chased, bandits committing crimes, and demons causing chaos...

I've met them all.

All I can say is that when space expands and time passes, some things that were originally small concepts and rare will become common.

They even almost collided with others in the sky.

Of course, with Qin Ming's level of cultivation, this difference is actually quite a bit.

However, with Qin Ming's strength as a double-master, he was able to naturally resolve all the special situations he encountered on the road.

If they hadn't been resolved, it would have been impossible for the two of them to appear here...

In short, the past month has greatly enriched Zhou Qing's life experience.

Although he has lived in this world for less than a year...

But it is precisely because it is short that a month's trip is so rich! After a while, Zhou Qing said: "The architecture of Hanzhou seems to be a little different from other places. It seems that most of them are stone houses?"

Since entering Hanzhou, he has overlooked many villages and towns.

Although the overall climate in Hanzhou is relatively cold, surprisingly, there are quite a few people living here.

At least the density of villages and towns he saw on the road just now was higher than that in other states.

Qin Ming smiled slightly and explained, "That is a kind of stone called warm stone. It remains warm all year round and is strong. In Hanzhou, this kind of stone can be found everywhere and is the first choice for all buildings."

"It seems that this stone has absorbed the temperature that Hanzhou should have. It is also a rather strange situation."

"Don't think that Hanzhou seems to have a bad climate and is not suitable for people to survive. On the contrary, Hanzhou has a large population among all the states in Daqi. Although it is not the largest, it is also a populous state, and its people can live well."

"In terms of area and population, Hanzhou is undoubtedly a top state. Xuandu Temple can find many cultivation talents from Hanzhou every year."

Qin Ming looked emotional and continued:

"Whether it's in the classics of Xuandu Temple or in the inheritance of other forces, there are records that in ancient times, the area of ​​Hanzhou was a truly bitterly cold place with few people."

"There are threats from the Snow Tribe and the Barbarian Tribe in the north, and the natural environment is extremely harsh. Natural and man-made disasters are constant, and it is simply difficult to survive."

"It was the Xuandu Temple that was established here, and then generations of hard work and management helped Hanzhou get rid of its bitter cold and uninhabited state and turned it into the rich and prosperous state it is today. It is only slightly inferior to Yujing and Jiangnan, which are naturally paradises for the people."

This is not Qin Ming's self-praise. As he said, the changes in Hanzhou have also been recorded by other forces, and Xuandu Temple has made an indelible contribution.

Hanzhou is very big, much bigger than Tianzhou.

From a bitter and cold land to today's prosperous upper state, the existence of Hanzhou has provided a paradise for countless lives to live and work in peace and contentment, and has enabled countless lives to reproduce and thrive.

Not all of it, but Xuandu Temple does account for most of the credit.

Repelling the Snow Tribe and the Barbarians from outside, controlling natural disasters from within, and tidying up the earth, in the long years of the past, Xuandu Temple has done so many things for this land.

For the vast majority of creatures in Hanzhou, Xuandu Temple is very respected.

Zhou Qing nodded gently, "It's a great merit."

After a while, Zhou Qing suddenly exclaimed in surprise and pointed.

"Hey, is that Yunjiang?"

A vast and majestic river flows across the land. The water is surging and majestic, with no visible source and no visible end.

"Yes, it is Yunjiang River, which originates from the Shiwan Snow Mountain." Qin Ming nodded and said:

"If you want to contact Yunjiang Dragon Palace, you can go directly to Yunjiang. There are masters from Yunjiang Dragon Palace stationed in this section of Yunjiang in Hanzhou, so they can communicate with Xuandu Temple and Shiwan Snow Mountain."

He obviously knew that Zhou Qing had a close relationship with Yunjiang Dragon Palace.

Zhou Qing asked in confusion: "Communicate with the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains?"

"Yunjiang Longjun is no ordinary person. He is extremely powerful and has a wide network of contacts."

Qin Ming praised: "He has connections with some tribes in the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains, and the relationship is very good. When he was able to occupy Yunjiang and open the Dragon Palace, the support from the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains played a big role."

A majestic river originating from the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains. It is obviously impossible to say that the Snow Clan inside the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains has no influence on it.

Zhou Qing was greatly surprised. He had not expected such a thing to happen. Was Long Jun so wild?

"That Dragon Lord is a bit too self-indulgent, but will the Snow Clan interfere in the affairs of the outside world?"

"Hahaha, this is the benefit of having many friends." Qin Ming laughed and said, "As for the Snow Clan, you witnessed the demise of the Black Mountain God, so you should have met the Dragon Queen of Yunjiang, right?"

Zhou Qing gave a positive answer, "I saw a dragon from afar. It was a real sky-blue dragon."

"The Dragon Queen of Yunjiang was born in the Snow Clan, a branch of the Snow Dragon Clan. She left the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains after falling in love with the Dragon King of Yunjiang. However, she married someone else, not someone who had abandoned the Snow Clan. Naturally, she can get the support of the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains."

"Now that the Dragon Queen of Yunjiang has also been promoted to the Tongtian Realm, her status in the Snow Dragon Clan, where she came from, has become even higher, and she will have more support."

Qin Ming casually told this secret. Considering the geographical location and power of Xuandu Temple, it was impossible for this information to be hidden from Xuandu.

Zhou Qing was stunned. He didn't expect the composition of Yunjiang Dragon Palace to be so complicated and even have a Snow Clan background.

No wonder there is such a huge Yunjiang Dragon Palace standing there. Tianlongmen and the West Sea Dragon Clan can’t do anything about it.

From this we can see how much help marrying a good wife can bring to one's life.

But from the perspective of Queen Yunjiang Dragon, Lord Yunjiang Dragon is obviously also a very good husband with amazing strength.

This pair of dragon lovers achieved mutual success.

But in this way, Ao Xuanwei can be considered half a member of the Snow Clan. No, it’s half a Snow Clan dragon.

Whether it is a snow dragon or a real dragon outside, they are all branches of the dragon clan. There are differences in bloodlines, but they are not so exaggerated as to become completely different species.

As the two of them were communicating, they had gradually entered deeper into Hanzhou.

In Zhou Qing's sight, there was already a world of ice and snow, covered in silver.

There is white snow floating in the sky, making people's hair turn white.

Villages, towns, county towns, prefecture towns...

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Zhou Qing had seen them all, and just as Qin Ming had said, most of them were built with warm stones, and most of the cities here were also magnificent and bustling with people.

"The capital of Hanzhou is Hanku City, which is the first city in Hanzhou. Although it is called Hanku, it is very prosperous. It just looks more ancient and full of the flavor of time."

After entering Hanzhou, Qin Ming became noticeably more talkative.

"But we are not going to Hanku City. Xuanfa Mountain is not there. It is further north, close to the junction of the grassland and the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains."

"The climate there is even more bitter, cold and harsh."

Zhou Qing looked towards the north, lost in thought, and said:

"A sword's sharpness comes from grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

"For practitioners like me, a harsher, colder and more hostile environment may actually be more meaningful."

Although it was a little hard to understand why the main gate of the Great Qi State Religion was located in such a harsh place, Zhou Qing felt that the founder of Xuandu Temple might have his own deep meaning.

Even if there is no deep meaning, someone must have a deep meaning.

Younger students must learn to do reading comprehension.

As they got closer to the north, the climate was indeed becoming worse visibly, but it did not affect Zhou Qing.

The environment was very cold, but his heart had already warmed up, extremely hot.

Aunt Mo, we meet again, I'm here to see you.

I am here to fulfill the agreement we made when we parted!

Judging from the time Zhou Qing has lived in this world, he and Lu Qingmo have been separated for a very long time.

Especially before they separated, the two had completed a major step in their lives, which made the longing for each other grow more and more rampant as time passed.

Now that they are about to arrive at Xuandu Temple, Zhou Qing's excitement and impatience can be imagined.

"I'm getting more and more excited."

Zhou Qing whispered, Qin Ming smiled but didn't say anything.

In his opinion, Zhou Qing's behavior and emotions were normal.

This is Xuandu Temple! Finally, a continuous and endless mountain range appeared in front of Zhou Qing.

Qin Ming whispered, "We've arrived at Xuanfa Mountain."

Zhou Qing didn't say anything, but watched everything in the distance carefully.

Among the mountains, the peaks are high and low. Some are like ordinary mountains, while others reach the sky. A large part of them are shrouded in clouds and mist, and cannot be seen clearly, as if entering heaven.

Some mountains are covered with flowers and green forests. Some old trees are so exaggerated that they are lush and can cover an entire mountain. It seems that they have been growing here since ancient times and are full of ancient atmosphere.

On some mountains near the outside, many palaces were built, as well as densely packed small stone houses for people to live in.

There are countless majestic waterfalls cascading down from the mountain peaks, like the Milky Way or a piece of silk.

Deep in the mountains, there are clouds and mist, and rays of light. It seems that there are heavenly palaces, but it also seems like a mirage.

Occasionally, you can hear the cries of monkeys and the roars of tigers, and see birds flapping their wings, feeling an incomparable sense of freedom.

As they approached the mountains, Zhou Qing's face showed admiration.

“It really is like a fairyland.”

This was the second top-level sect's mountain gate that he had seen. As for the first one...

After I entered Suzhen Palace that time, it was completely covered by clouds and fog, so it’s better not to mention it.

At this moment, it seems that Xuandu Temple is indeed a great place for practicing Taoism and training martial arts.

It is not lacking in grandeur and elegance, but also in some things that are beyond comprehension, truly like a fantasy wonderland.

Qin Ming was very calm and didn't show any special behavior.

Although he had been the mayor of Tianzhou for about twenty years, he was not like Lu Qingmo, who never returned.

Qin Ming would go back to Xuanfa Mountain almost once a year to report on his work.

So naturally there won’t be any strange or exciting emotions.

When they came near the continuous peaks, the first thing that greeted them was a tall mountain.

The side of the mountain facing them was a smooth stone wall, which was ancient and weathered, bearing traces of time.

On the rock wall, there are three large characters with the style of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, and the natural rhythm of Taoism, as if they were born with it.

Xuandu Temple! Qin Ming said: "This was carved by the founder. It has remained unchanged since ancient times and has always been placed here."

Zhou Qing nodded, "Amazing power."

There is nothing unusual in carving three words on a mountain, but it is not easy for the three words to remain as freshly appeared after such a long time and to have extraordinary charm.

Crossing the mountain with the three words "Xuan Du Guan" engraved on it, the breath of vast nature suddenly hits you in the face, as if crossing those three words is like passing through a barrier.

Outside the barrier is the world of Hanzhou, and inside the barrier is the world of Xuandu.

A natural, mysterious and inspiring time appeared before Zhou Qing's eyes. Wherever he looked, he saw sacred mountains.

The closest things to the two were a few stone houses. After they walked in, several people immediately walked out of the stone houses with alert looks, but after seeing Qin Ming clearly, their expressions changed.

"Elder Qin!"

Those people saluted Qin Ming one after another. Their cultivation level seemed to be at the marrow cleansing and saintly realm.

Qin Ming nodded and said, "I have resigned from the position of the head of the Tianzhou Ghost and God Department and am now returning to the mountain."

"Elder Qin, please."

One of them glanced at Zhou Qing and asked:

"I wonder who this is?"

"He also followed me into the mountains and wanted to join the sect. This matter has already been reported to the sect. You just need to make a routine record."

"good."

Next, the man asked Zhou Qing's name and background, wrote it down, and then let them go.

It looks very sloppy, but that's because Qin Ming is there.

As the elder of Xuandu Temple, there would definitely be no problem in bringing someone into Xuandu Temple.

As for whether there is any problem with Qin Ming's identity, this is not something that a few disciples guarding the mountain can verify, nor is there a need for them to verify it.

In the dark, there is a power that can confirm this.

There were stone steps connecting the mountains of Xuandu Temple. The two walked on the stone steps, and Qin Ming said to Zhou Qing:

"Your admission should be handled by Shuiyue Peak, but I don't know the situation at Shuiyue Peak right now."

When Zhou Qing thought of what Wang Yuan said, he felt that it might be difficult to see people on Shuiyue Peak now.

"I am not from Shuiyue Peak, which is also deep inside Xuandu Temple. I cannot take anyone to Shuiyue Peak without the permission of the peak master."

This is the rule of Xuandu Temple. You can bring outsiders in, but the scope of activities is limited. It is impossible for you to take an outsider everywhere.

To go to those special mountains, you need the approval of the peak master.

Zhou Qing took the initiative to say: "Uncle Qin, everything should be arranged according to the rules of Xuandu Temple. After all, I haven't entered yet."

After working together for a month, Zhou Qing and Qin Ming have obviously become much closer and are now discussing their own issues.

"Then I'll take you to Xianke Peak first, and then I'll go to Shuiyue Peak to check out the situation."

"Can."

If he wasn't afraid that Lu Qingmo was at a critical moment in her cultivation, he would have beaten her to death long ago.

Anyway, I can't see Lu Qingmo right away, so it doesn't matter where I go. It's not like I'm going into the Pansi Cave.
