Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 200 Sword Demon
Lingbizhai is hidden in the mountains and forests, and the environment is very quiet.

The overall scale is not large, and the temple building is only a dozen or so rooms. In addition to presiding over Bifang, there are only a few young disciples in the Qi training period who are handling secular affairs.

In fact, there are not many secular affairs. The people nearby come to burn incense and worship Buddha during the festivals. This land is located in the fringe area of ​​Lezhou. There are few monks who visit all the year round, but they can eat fast and chant Buddha quietly.

Fang Dushu intends to place Xiaoying here.

But he will not leave immediately, he needs to stay for a while, and personally teach Xiaoying how to practice.

On the third day of his temporary stay in Lingbizhai.

He came to the river at the foot of the mountain and asked Qingqing to dive into the bottom of the river to test whether the Tongtian Archway could exert its teleportation power in the tributaries of Qishui.

Bifang and Xiaoying are accompanying him.

Several people waited for half a day on the bank of the river.

Qingqing finally confirmed the supernatural power of Tongtian Archway.

She came out of the river to report: "My lord, the water in this tributary is too shallow, which limits the teleportation distance of the archway. Every time I activate the archway, I can only teleport a few miles away before being forced to surface."

This is because some sections of the river are too narrow and the water level is too low to support the passage of the Tongtian Archway. Qingqing's teleportation will be interrupted once she encounters such waters during the transmission.

However, Fang Dushu asked her to focus on testing only the power of hiding, and the teleportation power of the archway here is not important.

"Can you set the archway at the bottom of the river to cover your breath?" Fang Dushu asked.

"No problem at all." Qingqing felt that it was easy: "This archway can evolve into water waves and blend into the river. It's not just me, the whole archway can disappear without a trace at the bottom of the river."

"That's fine."

During Lingbizhai's lingering, Fang Dushu planned to let Qingqing live in the river.

He was about to tell Qingqing, when Xiaoying seemed to have sensed something, and whispered to Fang Dushu: "Brother Shu, there is a big nun flying over here."

"Big nun?"

Fang Dushu took a look at Bi Fang, he must have come to visit Bi Fang.

He immediately waved to Qingqing: "You take the archway and dive to the bottom of the river, and I will go find you later."

Qingqing was ordered to leave, but Xiaoying suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Qingqing's arm, and turned to ask Fang Dushu: "Brother Shu, can I follow Sister Qingqing, I also want to go to the bottom of the river, do you think it's okay?"

Fang Dushu did not object.

Xiaoying and Qingqing were very happy, they escaped to the entrance building first, and then drove the archway into the river.

At present, there is no one else, only Fang Dushu and Bi Fang are left.

Just now when Xiaoying warned the police, Bi Fang also heard, she said: "Uncle Qi, usually only Senior Sister Mei will come to visit me."

Fang Dushu asked: "Do you have any special relationship with this Senior Sister Mei?"

She nodded: "I was brought up by Mrs. Wangmei. My father has some relationship with Mrs. Wangmei. When he was traveling in Liangguo, he once rescued Mrs. Wangmei. The middle and younger generations also became monks when they were young, and they chanted scriptures next to Master Wangmei."

"Is Mrs. Wangmei practicing in Xiaoyuan Temple?"

"She passed away a few years ago."

"It's such a pity! It's said that people leave tea to cool off. How is your relationship with Senior Sister Mei?"

"This...was pretty good at first, but she knew that I escaped from Wujiao City in Shuozhou when I was young. After Master Wang Mei passed away, she warned me repeatedly not to interfere in the affairs of the world. She was always worried about me. Cause an accident and implicate her."

"Then why did she come here this time? Does she know that you went to Wujiao City secretly?"

"She probably didn't know! She didn't come to Lingbizhai while I was away, and she didn't even know that I had been out. The lower house she is in charge of is relatively large, and the affairs are quite heavy, and she doesn't have time to keep an eye on me!"

Speaking of this, the sound of the magic weapon breaking through the air sounded in the ears of the two of them.

Fang Dushu looked up, and saw a thin middle-aged nun flying towards her.

Like Fang Dushu, she is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and her face is more severe, frowning all the time.

Bi Fang told Fang Dushu that she was Senior Sister Mei Dingmei.

When Mrs. Dingmei saw a man standing next to Bi Fang from a high altitude, she showed anger on her stern face. She originally wanted to open her mouth to scold him immediately, but when she found out about Fang Dushu's late stage cultivation, her words came to an end. He swallowed it back again.

She stabilized her emotions and landed outside Bi Fang.

She tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, and said to Bi Fang in a persuasive tone: "The school rules strictly prohibit female disciples from getting along with male cultivators in private. Didn't you forget, Junior Sister?"

Bi Fang quickly explained: "Senior Sister, this is my uncle at home, my father's first cousin, not an outsider."

Master Dingmei was taken aback for a moment, he was quite surprised by Dushu's identity.

But she didn't stop preaching: "Even if it's your uncle, you can't borrow to live in the monastery. There are five or six little nuns in Lingbi Zhai, who have no family relationship with your uncle. If you get along with the same courtyard, the influence will be very bad. "

After finishing speaking, she shook her fly whisk at Fang Dushu, raised her palm, and made a bow: "Please forgive me, the poor nun didn't mean to make things difficult for Bi Fang. If it is passed back to the upper court, Bi Fang will definitely be punished, and the poor nun is doing it for her own good."

She was impeccable in what she said, and her methods were very smooth.

Fang Dushu replied: "Master, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for Bi'er. I don't stay long, and I will leave soon!"

Mrs. Dingmei had doubts, she didn't listen to Bi Fang's one-sided words, Bi Fang said that Fang Dushu was his uncle, she didn't think so.

In the lower courtyard of Xiaoyuan Temple in the past, there was a tryst between a nun and a male cultivator.

"Bi Fang grew up in the monastery since she was a child and never had contact with the outside world. Could it be that she recently went to Shuozhou to inquire about Fang's family?" Mrs. Dingmei asked Fang Dushu to test her words.

"That's not true." Fang Dushu said: "I came to look for her. Xiaoyuan Temple has strict rules, so you shouldn't refuse to receive relatives, right?"

"It's okay to receive relatives once in a while, Buddhism is not ruthless! But if you meddle in the grievances between relatives, it is strictly forbidden in the temple." Master Dingmei spoke quickly, like pouring beans: "If Buddhist disciples can't forget the secular world, Then you must leave Xiaoyuan Temple and return to the secular world!"

"I understand." Fang Dushu said: "I'm only here for a visit this time. My niece lives here very peacefully. I won't ask her to intervene in the worldly troubles of the Fang family."

"It's a blessing for Bifang to have an uncle like you." Mrs. Dingmei was very satisfied with Fang Dushu's response.

She smiled and asked again: "Benefactor, your cultivation base is profound, and you are not far away from forming alchemy. Are you a casual cultivator practicing by yourself, or do you have a teacher?"

Fang Dushu didn't hide anything: "I'm a disciple of Li Guozhen Wen School, and I worship under Sanfeng Wenshi."

When she heard about the Zhenwen sect, Master Dingmei's expression suddenly changed, showing a trace of nervousness: "Are you really a monk of the Zhenwen sect?"

Fang Dushu didn't understand her behavior: "I don't need to lie about my master's succession. If my master doesn't believe me, I can send someone to Li Guo to inquire about it, and I'll find out when I ask."

Seeing that Mrs. Ding Mei was in a bad mood, Bi Fang hurriedly interrupted the situation: "Sister, you came all the way, you must have something to tell me, why don't we go to the temple and discuss it in detail?"

Mrs. Dingmei was still looking at Fang Dushu, nodding her head while signaling to Bi Fang: "Bring your uncle up the mountain too, let's talk together."

Bi Fang immediately became confused: "Senior sister, you just said that there are several young nuns in the temple, and it is inconvenient for uncle to enter the temple."

Mrs. Dingmei showed a sad face: "That's because I didn't know that he was from the literary school of Liguo Town. I came to you this time to pass on a letter from the upper court. This letter is for us to enter the territory of Lezhou I am a monk of the Zhenwen sect, and I am following the order of the upper house."

At this moment, even Fang Dushu became curious, what kind of handbook actually implicated the Zhenwen faction?

You must know that there is no harmony between the sects of Li State and Liang State.

In fact, the sects of the Three Kingdoms in Hexi are all in the style of the Caotou King, who never pay attention to inheritance, only value strength, and often fight back and forth.

In the past thousands of years, the strong faction annexed the weak faction happened from time to time, which led to the frequent change of owners of the sects of the Three Kingdoms in Hexi.

To this day, the sects of the Three Kingdoms are full of vigilance against each other, lacking trust and cooperation, unless they all face a common enemy, just like the last time the demon cultivators invaded Dayong, the three kingdoms rarely joined forces for a short time.

This time Liangguo Xiaoyuan Temple actually issued an order to let the disciples cooperate with the disciples of the Zhenwen Sect. Could it be that the demon cultivators have invaded again?

With doubts, Fang Dushu came to the living room of the fasting courtyard on the top of the mountain.

After the three sat down.

Mrs. Dingmei asked anxiously: "The benefactor Fang rushed to Lezhou this time, presumably because of the sword demon matter?"

"What about the sword demon?"

Fang Dushu was at a loss: "I've never heard of any sword demon, please tell me the situation first?"

He had heard of the name Sword Demon in his previous life, and subconsciously associated it with the Lonely Sword, wondering if it had something to do with Ah Chang?
"Benefactor Fang, you have never heard of Sword Demon, so your status as a disciple of the Zhenwen Sect is somewhat suspicious!"

Mrs. Dingmei questioned in a slightly questioning tone: "The Sword Demon didn't appear out of nowhere all of a sudden, she started running rampant five years ago, and single-handedly turned upside down the two countries of Li and Liang. I've heard something, benefactor, you, as a disciple of the Zhenwen Sect, don't you know?"

Fang Dushu turned his head to look at Bifang.

Bi Fang nodded at him: "Uncle Qi, the killer star who ravaged the Jingfeng Sect's main altar five years ago was the Sword Demon, and she directly caused the destruction of the Jingfeng Sect. Since then, the name of the Sword Demon has been called Xiangliang The five states of the country."

This matter was told by Wu Musou and Jiao Po, Fang Dushu didn't care about it at the time, and he didn't ask Bi Fang afterwards.

Facing Master Dingmei's suspicious gaze, Fang Dushu took out the Zhenwen Token and handed it to Master Dingmei for inspection: "My identity is absolutely true, anyway, the disciples of the Zhenwen Sect will enter Le Prefecture soon, and by then The teacher can verify it, but I don’t understand, no matter how powerful and famous that sword demon is, why do the disciples of the Zhenwen sect have to know about him? I’ve been living in seclusion for the past few years, so it’s normal not to have heard of him!”

Master Dingmei responded immediately: "Even if you live in seclusion, you shouldn't ignore the Sword Demon!"

Fang Dushu asked: "Why?"

Dingmei Shitai revealed: "Because the sword demon started to wreak havoc from your Zhenwen sect. It is rumored that the sword demon itself is a disciple of your Zhenwen sect, but you don't admit it."

This sentence made Fang Dushu stunned for a moment.

He was still suspecting that the sword demon was related to Qi Changzhen just now, and now it seems that it has been further proved.

He was so worried about Qi Changzhen that he couldn't listen to what Mrs. Dingmei said next.

"Fang benefactor, you said that you have never heard of Sword Demon, unless you have traveled to other places in the past few years and are not in Li country, otherwise it is absolutely impossible, Fang benefactor..."

She called Fang Dushu, but when she received no response, she aimed at Bifang.

Bi Fang stretched out his hand and pushed Fang Dushu.

Only then did Fang Dushu regain his composure: "Master, your monastery issued a handbook to the disciples of the Lower Court, asking you to take over the disciples of the Zhenwen Sect. What is the purpose?"

Mrs. Dingmei said: "What else can it be? It must be the encirclement and suppression of the sword demon! You Zhenwen sect disciples are the leaders, and all the sects of Li and Liang have sent disciples to participate. Last time Dayong was invaded by demon cultivators, everyone did not So united!"

After talking for a long time, she didn't reveal the true identity of the sword demon, and she didn't even know the name of the sword demon.

She only knew that the Sword Demon was a female cultivator with a Golden Core Stage cultivation.

This made Fang Dushu more puzzled. He and Qi Changzhen built the foundation almost at the same time, and the progress of their cultivation was roughly the same. He practiced five oracle bone scriptures in succession, and so far he has not completed the foundation building period to Dzogchen. Within a short period of time, is the alchemy successful in one fell swoop?

Fang Dushu felt that the possibility was unlikely.

But it does not rule out that Qi Changzhen has another adventure.

Fang Dushu decided to check it out himself: "Dare to ask the teacher, where is the sword demon, and where are the disciples of the Zhenwen sect?"

Mrs. Dingmei shook her head: "There is no news yet. The sword demon can use the sword escape technique, and her whereabouts are erratic. The hand letter issued by the upper court said that she has not yet escaped into Lezhou. The hand letter is for the disciples of the lower court to be fully prepared. In case the Sword Demon really comes rushing around!"

Five years ago, the sword demon escaped from the Zhenwen sect. Because she was rounded up by the monks of the Zhenwen sect, she fled westward along the Lishui River. After crossing the Shituo Gorge, she entered the territory of the Jingfengmen of the Liang country.

At that time, the cultivators of the Jingfengmen were confused about the situation and didn't know the horror of the sword demon, so they didn't pay attention to it. After the sword demon ravaged the main altar of the Jingfengmen, it was already too late.

However, the sword demon was seriously injured when he made a big fuss about Fengfengmen. After the battle, he hid in Liangjie Mountain and jumped repeatedly, but he still couldn't catch her.

The Zhenwen faction could not trap the sword demon with only one faction, so they sent out invitations and invited reinforcements from all factions to participate in the roundup.

This invitation to gather was delayed for several years, and when there were enough troops, the sword demon had already recharged his energy and showed his whereabouts again.

Mrs. Dingmei finally introduced: "The sword demon, she knows that there are many pursuers from the east, and all the seven factions of the Li Kingdom have sent heavy troops to participate. They surrounded the two mountains like iron barrels. The sword demon dare not fight head-on. So she chose to flee to the west, and it was speculated in the handbook of the upper court that she most likely wanted to escape to Tianjuemo, and she thought this was the way to survive."

"Isn't it?" Fang Dushu asked.

"Benefactor Fang, you shouldn't ask me!" Dingmei Shitai pointed in the direction of Xiaoyuan Temple: "You should ask the upper court if you are willing to give the sword demon a life! In the entire Hexi Immortal Cultivation World, who has the strongest ability to subdue demons? , the first recommendation must be the Holy Monk of the Upper Court, as long as the sword demon dares to come, Lezhou will be the cemetery of exterminating demons!"
