Chapter 110 Tide Watching Island

It was already night when Fang Dushu arrived in Wuyuan City, and he didn't want to stay too long, but the patriarch Fu Guanzong learned that he was going back to the city and insisted on inviting him to a banquet. He couldn't refuse, so he went to the banquet.

Then I went to visit Huang Shigu again, rested overnight at Fu Jigong's house, and took Shangfang's dumb to the green miasma forest the next day.

Just as Fang Dushu expected, since the appointed date arrived, Fang Xianfu has been waiting for news at the border of the Green Miasma Forest every day.

Finally hit the top today.

Fang Dushu gave a general account of Fang Xianfu's experience in Zhenwen School in the past year, and then said: "I have already applied for an oven, and when I return to the school this time, I will go into the furnace to refine the dishes, third brother , It may be several years before our next meeting."

A monk has a long lifespan and spends a lot of time in retreat.

This is commonplace.

Fang Xianfu said: "From now on, I will not go out of the Snake Pan Realm again until you come back from customs."

After speaking, he handed over a bag of tributes to Fang Dushu: "In the past year, the clansmen did nothing, but made tributes for you. Adding this batch, it is almost enough for you to use. If it is still not enough, then you Return to the boundary again."

Fang Dushu accepted the tribute and everything was settled, so he bid farewell to Fang Xianfu and returned to Zhenwen School without stopping.

His trip was surprisingly fast, and he ran back and forth in two days and two nights.

When he rushed to Yitian Peak in a hurry, Qi Jianting saw his dusty appearance, and immediately smiled wryly: "Second Junior Brother, you are too fast, you haven't found a partner yet!"

In fact, Fang Dushu didn't need a partner, he said: "It doesn't matter! Senior brother, you give me the token to open the furnace first, and I will wait inside the twin furnaces!"

Qi Jianting persuaded: "Don't be too hasty in refining the dishes, and don't be in a hurry to get into the furnace. After I explain all the matters about the Lishui furnace to you, it's not too late for you to go into the furnace."

It took him quite a while to confess this time.

half a month later.

It's time for the lights to come on.

The shadow of the moon is hazy tonight.

Fang Dushu left Yitian Peak, drove a flat boat, and sailed eastward alone along the river channel of Luoyan Gorge in the main altar.

At this time, half a month has passed since he returned to the Zhenwen School from the Green Miasma Forest.

On that day, he found senior brother Qi Jianting and asked for an order to open the furnace. He wanted to go to the twin furnaces for retreat, but Qi Jianting did not agree to his request because he was not ready for the refining of the vessel.

Qi Jianting handed him a bamboo slip, which recorded the complete method of making dishes.

From the preparation of the tribute, to the sacrifice in the furnace, to the birth of Zhong Dingwen, to the release of the Enlightenment Vessel, all the steps of the whole process are written on the bamboo slips.

In the past half a month, Fang Dushu has been watching the method of refining dishes repeatedly, and he has already mastered it by heart. Now he has the confidence to complete almost all the steps by himself.

Only one step, he can't understand it literally, he has to slowly explore the experience in the actual refining process.

This step is to comprehend the artistic conception, outsiders cannot teach it, Fang Dushu can only rely on himself to explore and experience it.

He is now fully prepared, so he set off to head to the azimuth waters of the Twin Furnaces.

There are three grades of Lishui ovens of the Zhenwen School.

The first level is the Infant Oven. There is only one sect in the entire sect. It is located in the most core water area of ​​the main altar, just below the cave of Taishang Wenshi Qi Daoming.

The second level is the alchemy oven. There are less than ten sects in the entire sect, which are distributed around the infant oven. They are guarded by Jindan stage scribes on a daily basis.

As for the third level, it is the lowest level of foundation-building furnaces. There are dozens of single furnaces and twin furnaces in the sect, which are far away from the main altar and scattered in the Baili waters of Luoyan Gorge.

The Twin Stove that Fang Dushu is about to use is located near Chaoguan Island in the easternmost part of Luoyan Gorge. After sailing forty miles, he arrived at Chaoguan Island.

This is an island entrenched in the Lishui River, covering an area of ​​one thousand acres. The layout of the island is rather strange, and there is no business related to the monks. All the buildings adopt a mortal layout, including the farmhouses on the island, and the market and vegetable market.

There are no palaces and caves on the spiritual peaks located among the islands, and the most numerous places are restaurants, gambling houses, tea rooms and other recreational and leisure places.

All the monks who came to watch the tide island, once they landed on the island, they would temporarily forget their status as monks, completely relax, and indulge in the mortal fireworks on the island.

Why are they doing this?
Fang Dushu once heard Qi Jianting say that there are twenty or thirty Lishui ovens under the waters near Guanchao Island.

During the refining period, due to the excessive exhaustion of effort, the monk's mind will show signs of collapse every once in a while. Once such a change occurs, he must surface the river and go to the tide-watching island for leisure. Go down to the river again to refine the dishes.

At the beginning, Qi Jianting stopped sacrificing the sword vessel because during the refining period, he found that his emotions were out of control, and he was worried that if he continued, he would have a mental breakdown.

However, this kind of collapse may appear on any Enlightenment Vessel, which has no special relationship with the magic vessel he sacrificed.

Tonight, Fang Dushu went to Guanchao Island to order a breath-adjusting pavilion for himself. During the few years when he was refining dishes, the pavilion would become his usual residence, specially used for relaxation.

When his spirit boat docked, several monks greeted him at the pier to guide him.

There are not many disciples refining dishes on the island, but there are dozens of deacons and monks who manage the island, and the cultivation bases of these deacons are all in the Qi training period.

They are all selected from the Eight Meridians, and their main task is to serve the disciples of Lian Pan, and they do not need to protect the safety of Guanchao Island.

Guanchao Island is located in the center of Lishui River. Among the peaks standing on both sides of the river, there are seniors in the foundation period stationed all year round. These seniors are the main force to protect Chaoguan Island and Lishui Oven.

Since Guanchao Island is located in the edge waters of Luoyan Gorge, and Lishui Oven is located deep in the bottom of the river, if the Oven is attacked, the only source of attack can only come from the water monster under the river.

But any oven is equipped with an extremely strong barrier, even a monk at the Jindan stage cannot break through it, and what the water demon can only do is harass, but cannot cause harm.

Of course, I don't rule out the occasional big monster that can shake the oven barrier.

However, Guanchao Island is only a few tens of miles away from the main altar and Dharma Hall. These distances may be too far for disciples like Fang Dushu who are in the Qi training period, but they are just a short distance away for scribes.

In the past, when the water demon disaster occurred, the foundation-building monks stationed on both sides of the strait would send a distress message to the main altar as soon as possible, and reinforcements could arrive in an instant.

What's more, Qi Daoming, the Taishang literati, personally sits in the main altar. With his mana, he can easily cover the Baili River in Luoyan Gorge. If there is a serious change in any piece of water, he has the ability to control the situation.

In short, in the past sixty years, among the many Lishui furnaces mastered by the Zhenwen School, none of the furnaces had an alarm, and all the disciples in the furnaces completed the task of refining dishes peacefully.

Qi Jianting rest assured that Fang Dushu rushed to Guanchao Island alone, and it was also for this reason.
