Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 137 Insect Nest
Sail back to Zhenwenpai.

Fang Dushu and Qi Changzhen parted ways at Luoyan Gorge in the main altar.

Because he had been away for a long time, Qi Chang really wanted to meet Master Xuan Jin and the elders of Qi's family.

"When I finish my common affairs, I will go to your Lone Tree Peak as a guest."

This is what Qi Changzhen said when he was parting.

"If you have free time, you can also come to Jade Blood Peak to visit."

Qi Changzhen grew up on the Jade Blood Peak of Xuan Jin Wenshi, and her usual residence is also on this peak.

Fang Dushu watched her disappear among the spirit peaks of the main altar, and rushed back to Yitian Peak alone, first to meet Qi Guangxiang.

When he was in Shangfang City, Master Sanfeng once said that Qi Guangxiang was preparing for alchemy and had been in retreat recently.

When Fang Dushu arrived at Yitian Peak, he didn't see Qi Guangxiang, so Xiang Xinxiu came forward to receive him.

"Master is closing the life and death test. She will not show up until the result of this time's breakthrough and pill formation is achieved. During this period, no one will see her." Xiang Xinxiu stayed at Yitian Peak, also guarding the cave to prevent Qi Guangxiang Interference during retreat.

"Then we'll see you after she leaves the customs." Fang Dushu inquired, "Does Master want to realize Taoism and form alchemy?"

"She didn't plan to realize the Dao vessel. The master found a batch of pills for her. She intends to take pills to advance." Xiang Xinxiu's cultivation has reached the perfect state of Qi training period, and she will be able to build a foundation soon.

But Xiang Xinxiu's aptitude was not good enough, so she gave up enlightenment and foundation building, and chose the same path as Qi Guangxiang, taking pills to advance.

When Qi Guangxiang has achieved results this time, no matter whether he succeeds in forming the alchemy or not, Xiang Xinxiu will start to retreat next time, trying to hit the foundation building stage.

Fang Dushu asked: "When will Master's wife be able to leave the customs?"

Xiang Xinxiu shook her head: "I don't know the exact date either. I once heard my mistress chatting with my master that before forming the alchemy, you have to rest for at least a few months to adjust the state of the dharma body. When the mistress begins to form the alchemy to break through, it may be too late." It will be half a year later."

That's too early.

Fang Dushu said: "Xinxiu, I'll go back to Lone Tree Peak first, and tidy up the cave, and when I settle it properly, I'll come back to protect the Dharma with you."

He was about to leave.

Xiang Xinxiu stopped him suddenly: "Second Senior Brother, Senior Sister Qin Hongyao from Holy Spirit Peak came here a few days ago to inquire if you have returned to the mountain. I asked her what she wanted from you, and she said she just wanted to pay a visit."

Xiang Xinxiu was very curious. Qin Hongyao and Qi Guangxiang were monks of the same age. Why did they take the initiative to visit Fang Dushu?
When they met a few days ago, Xiang Xinxiu asked Qin Hongyao about the situation in the Green Miasma Forest, but Qin Hongyao only talked about the border situation in general, and did not elaborate on other situations.

Therefore, Xiang Xinxiu was not aware of Fang Dushu's experience in rescuing Qin Hongyao in Mount Heitou.

Half a month ago, Dushu received three orders from the scribe, and went to Feixia to do business.

Because of her injury, Qin Hongyao didn't have to take part in the trip to Lizhou, and was sent back to the Holy Spirit Peak in advance by Master Xia Qiwen. She knew that Fang Dushu would return to the group soon, so she came to visit her, out of gratitude and etiquette Behavior.

At the same time, Qin Hongyao also needs to fulfill a task ordered by Master Xia Qi for Fang Dushu.

"Has Master Xia Wen from Holy Spirit Peak returned?" Fang Dushu asked.

"No!" Xiang Xinxiu said, "Senior Sister Qin Hongyao is back to recover from her injuries. Except for her, none of the fellow disciples who rushed to Lizhou this time have returned!"

"I see. I will go to Holy Spirit Peak to visit Senior Sister Qin Hongyao."

……

After several years of walking, Fang Dushu's Lone Tree Peak has not changed much.

The blood mulberry tree still stands alone on the top of the peak, and the mountain protection circle built based on this tree has been in an open state during Fang Dushu's departure.

The entire mountain was shrouded in the formation, and the Dongfu was fully protected. The wind could not blow in, and the rain could not drench it. During Fang Dushu's departure, the Dongfu had never been patronized by outsiders.

The blood mulberry leaves that have matured over the years are all scattered on the top of the mountain, lying quietly, waiting for the owner of the cave to come back to pick them up.

Fang Dushu opened the magic circle, landed on the peak, called Qingqing out, and cleaned up the cave first.

He looked at the sky, it was dusk, and he rested in the cave overnight.

Early the next morning, he went to visit Qin Hongyao in the Holy Spirit Vessel.

He was traveling in a flying boat, and on the way, he thought of the magic swan, the mount of Ling Guya, a disciple of Feixia School.

He was thinking in his heart that if he had a chance, he would also raise a monster like the magic swan.

In the Spiritual Beast Hall of the Zhenwen School, a batch of monster eggs or cubs would be taken out regularly as offerings and rewards to the disciples, but the mounts raised by the sect were often ordinary monsters.

Fang Dushu still needs to find a way to domesticate rare birds and monsters, which cannot be found in the Spirit Beast Hall.

Thinking of this, he has entered the territory of the Holy Spirit.

Qin Hongyao lives on a spiritual peak called 'Bitong Mountain', where a kind of Bitong tree grows, and the leaves are supplements for feeding insects and demons.

Lingfeng is surrounded by lush green Tonglin, and many buildings have been built.

Qin Hongyao is five or sixty years old. She has practiced in the Zhenwen School for decades. There are boys and girls recruited under her seat.

There are also a large number of tung trees planted on the top of the peak. The canopy of the trees is connected into one piece, and the green shade shades the sun, covering Qin Hongyao's cave.

At this time, Qin Hongyao was staying in the main hall of the cave mansion, standing beside a half-person-high insect nest, looking down, with a melancholy look on his face, as if he was worried about something.

But when she noticed that Fang Dushu was going up the mountain, she immediately smiled, walked out of the main hall, moved to the climbing stone steps, and shouted: "Junior Brother Fang, when did you return to the sect?"

"yesterday."

"Have you completed the errands sent by Feixia?"

"It's done, please worry about it, Senior Sister Qin."

"It's a good job."

Fang Dushu quickly climbed the stone steps, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he was led to the main hall by Qin Hongyao. He saw the insect nest at a glance, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking very strange.

The appearance of this worm nest is extraordinary, and the whole body is shining with golden light. The overall outline is like a bird's nest. The diameter of the nest is estimated to be about ten feet. There is a layer of scale-like carapace on the outside of the nest, and the golden light is emitted from the carapace.

On each piece of carapace, there are authentic texts floating on it, which looks like it evolved from oracle bones.

"Senior Sister Qin, what kind of treasure is this?" Fang Dushu asked for advice.

"When my master realized the Taoism and formed alchemy back then, he realized a piece of the Holy Spirit Oracle Bone, which is also the origin of the Holy Spirit Peak in this vein." Qin Hongyao said with a smile:

"The oracle bone of the holy spirit is unique. It is a scripture for deriving insects. If the oracle bone is activated, it will evolve into a nest of insects."

"This golden nest turned out to be the oracle bone of the Holy Spirit?" Fang Dushu was eye-opening:

"It seems that Senior Sister Qin has won the trust of Senior Uncle Xia, so she actually entrusted Senior Sister Qin with the oracle bones of her life."

"I can gain the trust of my family teacher because of you, Junior Brother Fang." Qin Hongyao explained to him:

"When you were in Shangfang City, your master promised to teach you a scripture of oracle bones. She was going to Lizhou on a business trip, and the date of return was uncertain. She was worried that you would wait too long, so she entrusted me with the oracle bones of the Holy Spirit, and waited for you to return to the mountain. , I invite you to come over and observe and study the Holy Spirit Scripture."

This piece of holy spirit oracle bone doesn't have any offensive and defensive powers, so it can't be used for fighting skills. Although it is the natal oracle bone of master Xia Qiwen, it is most suitable for Qin Hongyao.

This is also the task assigned to Qin Hongyao by Master Xia Qiwen.

Qin Hongyao said again: "My teacher said that if you are interested in the "Holy Spirit Scripture", you can read oracle bone inscriptions first. If you don't want to practice insect art, that's okay. After my teacher returns to the mountain, she will I will summon you and pass on other scriptures."
