Chapter 124 Changes in the Vicissitudes of the Sea (seeking a monthly ticket)
"Look, son! The swamp has been filled with soil, and the city has begun to be built!"

Shituo Gorge is adjacent to Cangsang Daze. After Fang Dushu and Qingqing landed, they can go straight into the swamp.

They all thought that the swamp environment must be the same as before.

As a result, after entering the lake, I was surprised to find that the environment has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The terrain that was originally full of low-lying water and weeds and muddy land basically disappeared, and instead became a flat plain.

During the flight, Fang Dushu and Qingqing could overlook the newly completed villages and fortified cities, as well as the long migration queue every ten miles or so.

These teams are full of mortals.

Fang Dushu guessed that it was very likely that the war in the north caused the destruction of the mortal habitat, and he had to leave his hometown and move south to seek a living.

But since ancient times, ordinary people have settled down in the land that migrated to the south. If they want to occupy these fertile territories, they have to fight for it. If they don't want to fight, they can only choose to open up wasteland.

Where is the most suitable place to open up wasteland?

Cangsang Daze is obviously one of the choices.

"My lord, what is going on, how did the swamp become a mortal world?"

"100 years ago, this place was originally the mortal world! It was just destroyed by the flames of war, and now it has been redeveloped into fertile soil, which belongs to restoring the old appearance!"

"The swamp is so big, at least hundreds of miles away, how did it become a plain?"

"We don't have this ability, but those seniors at the Golden Core stage do. They can turn the sea into mulberry fields, let alone a mere swamp!"

"But where do people come from? My son, after we entered the swamp and flew a hundred miles along the way, we should have seen hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. Did they move from Xiling City?"

Qingqing knew that Xiling City was next to Cangsang Daze, and if she wanted to enter the swamp, Xiling City was the fastest route.

Before Fang Dushu could answer, he saw a middle-aged monk with a long beard flying out of the mountainous area on the ground. He was a handsome man with a beard.

His cultivation was in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and he forcibly stopped Fang Dushu.

"Two fellow daoists, you are being polite, old man Yuan Dian, please forgive me for taking the liberty to block your way this time!"

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?" Fang Dushu just wanted to inquire about the situation.

"The old man saw that you were wearing the Taoist robe of the Zhenwen sect, so I wanted to ask, are you a monk of the Zhenwen sect?" Yuan Dian sensed the demonic aura on Qingqing's body. The rank is too low to hide from the foundation-building monks.

If it wasn't for Fang Dushu's company, Yuan Dian wouldn't be so polite. His family has already settled here, and the nearby territory is his family's territory, so he is very guarded against demon cultivators.

"I'm a disciple of the Zhenwen School!" Seeing Yuan Dian looking at Qingqing, Fang Dushu asked, "Could it be that Cangsangze has become a land of masters, and monks are not allowed to pass by casually?"

"Cangsangze? Last year it was placed under the jurisdiction of Longzhou, Li State, and renamed Cangsang Border City. The rules are the same as other cities in Longzhou!" Yuan Dian stroked his long beard and smiled politely: "From now on, my Yuan family will report to Zhenwen By sending tribute, the disciples of the Zhenwen sect can naturally flow freely."

"Pay tribute to Zhenwen?" Fang Dushu found it inconceivable that the territory of Cangsangze is very wide. If all of it becomes a plain, it can accommodate several large cities:

"I haven't been in the Zhenwen faction for the past few years, so I don't know what happened in Cangsangze. May I ask your Excellency, where did you move here?"

"So that fellow Taoists know that the old man's family and all the people have moved here from the Dayong Kingdom!" Yuan Dian wanted to make friends with the disciples of the Zhenwen School, and Dushu knew everything:

"The demon disaster broke out in Dayong, causing the destruction of two sects. The ancestral home of the old man's family was corroded by poison, and he was forced to move south to Dali. Originally, Lizhou bordered Dayong, but Lizhou was also the hardest hit by the demon disaster. , no place to stay, so he could only continue to go south, and finally chose to settle down in Cangsangze.”

This trip to the south is really not easy. Dayong is at least a thousand miles away from Li Country. This distance is nothing for monks, but it is a dangerous and arduous journey for ordinary people.

In the end, they were able to reach Cangsang Daze smoothly because of their numerical advantage. This time they went south to escape not from an aristocratic family or a city, but from the common people of Dayong and one state.

The Yuan family and several families jointly guarded the people's team. Before entering the Li country, these monks had already rushed to the Zhenwen faction, expressing their intention to take refuge in the tribute.

The elders of the Zhenwen faction decided to take them in after consideration, and it also provided them with convenience to travel through the territories of the states of Li, so that they would not be disturbed and ambushed on their way, thus successfully migrating to Cangsangze.

As the core leader of this migration, Yuan Dian vividly remembered the whole process.

He gave Fang Dushu a general account of the situation, and sighed: "The ability to live and work here in peace and contentment is all thanks to the gift of your sect. This Cangsangze was originally not a good land, and the scribes of your sect joined forces to refine the swamp. , Restoring the old plains a hundred years ago, this is the grace of reconstruction, it is really hard to repay."

The Zhenwen faction did not ask the Yuan family and other migrating families to pay more tribute, and their share of tribute was consistent with other cities in Longzhou, which made them very grateful.

However, Cangsangze is adjacent to the Liangjie Mountains, so the environment is not stable, and there will inevitably be frequent invasions in the future, but for the Yuan family and other migrating families, this accident is negligible compared to relocating their homes.

Fang Dushu heard what Yuan Dian said, and asked: "There is a Lingxi Mountain in the center of Cangsang Daze. A hundred years ago, there was a former site of a sect. Is it occupied by the sect that moved south?"

"Moving south to the sect?"

Yuan Dian shook his head: "This time going south, there are only aristocratic families like this old man and ordinary people, without any monks from sects accompanying us. The sect that paid tribute to the old man's family for generations has already been destroyed. If it weren't for this, the Zhenwen Sect would not have accepted us."

He has settled in Cangsangze for a period of time, and he knows the old site of the sect that Fang Dushu talked about, and said: "Although the main altars of the Dali and Dayong sects are often built on the border of the Lishui River, But there must be a Lishui oven in the river, and when the Lingxi Sect fell, the oven was already broken, even if there is a Dayong sect who wants to flee south, they will definitely not choose to settle in Lingxi Mountain."

What he said in this way relieved Fang Dushu of a hidden worry.

Fang Dushu was most worried that the Dayong sect would make their homes in Liangjie Mountain and Cangsangze, which would lead them to have the idea of ​​dove occupying the magpie's nest, and thus start a war against the Zhenwen faction.

Now is the moment when monks from the eight tribes of Kuntian are invading south, and Fang Dushu does not want to participate in the battle against the rebellion of the Zhenwen faction.

"If fellow Taoist doesn't dislike it, how about drinking a cup of spiritual tea in the humble house?"

Yuan Dian finally extended an invitation to Fang Dushu.

"I have something important to do, so it's inconvenient to be a guest, so I ask Patriarch Yuan to forgive me."

Fang Dushu politely refused, he had already inquired about all the information that should be inquired, and he didn't stay too long, and soon led Qingqing back on the road.

Because this trip crosses Cangsangze, it will pass through the territories of several aristocratic families who have just migrated. These aristocratic families have foundation-building monks like Yuan Dian sitting in their towns. It is also light and simple, and only selects routes in remote areas.

When Fang Dushu escaped from the Cangsangze, entered the territory of Xiling City, and continued to go north to the green miasma forest, it was obvious that the number of monks patrolling was increasing. Those who commit crimes.

Fang Dushu still took the path that was rarely visited by people.

At nightfall that day, he arrived at the northern border of Changyou City in Longzhou.

When Dushu visited here ten years ago, he was escorted by disciples of the Wei family in Changyou City and guided him into the Green Miasma Forest.

If you stand at the border and look far away, you can see the long wall of green mist that naturally emanates from the green miasma forest.

However, this time when Fang Dushu revisited the old place, he found that the green miasma forest no longer exists, the entire forest has been felled in large numbers, the green mist has almost dissipated, and the vacated land has become the new home of the people who moved south.

Cangsangze is the former site of the original Lingxi Sect. As long as there are high-level monks who are willing to cast spells, they can turn the swamp into fertile land for survival.

Green Miasma Forest is the site of the original Fudu Sect, which is more suitable for ordinary people to settle down, even without the help of monks.

Ever since Dayong encountered a demon disaster, it was difficult to escape, because the Green Miasma Forest was closer to the Dayong Kingdom, the first batch of family monks and ordinary people who entered the Li Kingdom, their first choice to settle was the Qingmao Forest. Trees can be felled, and materials can be used locally to build houses, which is convenient and trouble-free.

In the past, no ordinary people settled in the Green Miasma Forest, because this forest is the intersection of Longzhou and Lizhou, and it is also a buffer zone.

But now the buffer no longer exists.

The most worrying thing is the Wei family in Changyou City. They are at the forefront of the migration tide, dealing with various accidents caused by the migration almost day and night, and at the same time guarding against those aristocratic families who have settled in the green forest , went south to seize the territory of Changyou City.

When Fang Dushu rushed to the border, he saw two Foundation Establishment monks from the Wei family leading a team to inspect. Fang Dushu didn't want to deal with it at first, but found that there was a fellow disciple in the team, so he stopped in mid-air.

As soon as he stopped, his whereabouts were immediately noticed by the two foundation cultivators of the Wei family, and they all followed him: "Who is your Excellency? What are you doing here sneakily!"

Fang Dushu called out, "Junior Sister Wei?"

"Huh? Sounds like Senior Brother Fang?"

Among the two foundation cultivators, a surprised female voice sounded, she saw that Fang Dushu had appeared, she hurriedly approached to investigate, and when she saw Fang Dushu's appearance, she was overjoyed: "Senior Brother Fang! Where have you been these few years? "

"It's also beyond words!"

Fang Dushu landed on the ground and talked to her slowly: "I left Li Country and went to Outland, because the journey is too far, there is no way to send a message to Pili."

Fang Dushu didn't talk much about himself: "Junior Sister Wei, when did you build the foundation?"

This junior sister Wei is exactly Wei Shuangmin who guarded the Jieyin Hall in Yitianmai back then. Apart from senior brother Qi Jianting, Fang Dushu is most familiar with her fellow disciples.

When it comes to foundation building, she is very happy: "Two years ago, my little sister's magic power reached the completion of the Qi training period. Brother Qi saw that the little girl guarded the Jieying Hall all the year round and worked hard, so he specially rewarded a foundation building elixir. Originally, the little girl I didn't have any hope, but after taking the pill, I actually advanced smoothly."

Her figure hasn't lost weight, and she probably hasn't gotten rid of her gluttony. She also maintains a not-so-fine mind. Fang Dushu also succeeded in building a foundation, so she forgot to ask about it.

Fang Dushu then asked about the old man beside her, and she introduced: "This is my clan uncle Wei Lianchen."

Then he said to Wei Lianchen: "Clan uncle, Senior Brother Fang is the true biography of Yi Tianmai that I mentioned to you. He has left the sect for a few years and has just returned."

"I know Brother Fang, he went to the Green Miasma Forest more than ten years ago to look for his clansmen, and our family specially sent a disciple to guide him. There is friendship!"

Wei Lianchen's friendship came from acquaintance. When Fang Dushu joined the Zhenwen School, Wei Shuangmin sent the news back to Changyou City. The core members of the Wei family had already checked Fang Dushu's situation clearly.

We met again today, and Wei Lianchen was very happy in his heart.

He also revealed to Fang Dushu: "Brother Fang, Green Miasma Forest... No, it has been renamed Qinghu Border City now! In the past few years, the environment has turned upside down, the forest has turned into fertile land, and four cities have been built successively, one of which is the city. It was occupied by the Fang family!"

"Fang family?"

Fang Dushu hurriedly asked: "Has Shibo had any contact with the monks of the Fang family?"

"How not!"

Wei Lianchen said: "Everyone in the Wei family knew that you had been looking for relatives in the green forest. After learning that they were in charge of the city, they specially brought gifts to visit, but they were lukewarm and said, 'Is he from my family? People, you need to meet face to face to confirm', since they express their position like this, the Wei family is also embarrassed to continue to communicate."

"What's the name of their leader?" Fang Dushu continued to inquire.

"There are two leaders, the patriarch is Fang Xianfu, and the foundation-building elder is Fang Xiande!" Wei Lianchen paid more attention to the Fang family, but the Fang family was unwilling to visit and interact with the Wei family. As a result, Wei Lianchen didn't know much about the core situation of the Fang family. Get to know these two Foundation Establishment monks.

After hearing this, Fang Dushu thought to himself, before he joined the Zhenwen Sect, he had made it clear to the Fu family and fellow disciples in Wuyuan City that he had not found his clan members in the Green Miasma Forest.

The third cousin, Fang Xianfu, also knew about this situation. He must have issued a strict seal order, forbidding any members of the tribe to reveal the news of his visit to the Shepan Realm.

Fang Dushu's guess is not wrong, the truth is true.

He said: "Uncle Shi, Junior Sister Wei, to tell the truth, I came to the Green Miasma Forest this time to find relatives! When I came back from a foreign land, I passed the Cangsang Lake and found that the Great Lake had changed into a mulberry field. I was shocked beyond words. "

Wei Lianchen smacked the corner of his lips: "Hey, it's not just Brother Fang, you are shocked. We Longzhou and even the whole Liguo monks feel that these mediocre people are brave and brave. They didn't snatch our original territory, but If we choose to open up wasteland, we will not make things difficult, but will provide help within our ability."

After the Fang family took charge of the city, all the refugees gathered came from Dayong, which can be regarded as a city built on the basis of Dayong people.

Wei Lianchen expressed to Fang Dushu the sincerity of the Wei family's willingness to help the Fang family, but the Fang family was unwilling to accept the Wei family's kindness, and the Wei family was also helpless.

Fang Dushu thanked him first, and then asked: "When I was in Cangsangze, I found out that Fang's family was in charge of the city, so I hurried over here, and I didn't even have time to return to the Zhenwen School! Tell me the detailed location of the Fang Clan's city?"
