Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 226

Lishan.

This is a vast mountain range that spans thousands of miles.

It was the first time for Fang Dushu to visit Lishan Mountain. Before he arrived in Lishan Mountain, he always thought that the environment here was the same as other mountains.

It wasn't until he actually stepped into the mountains that he realized that his assumption was wrong.

In fact, most of the mountainous areas are all bare rocks, without any vegetation growing at all. Looking around, the rolling mountains are all gray-brown, as if they have been scorched by a raging fire.

Except where the Lishui River flows, the green forests will be revealed on the peaks on both banks.

The eastern end of Lishui River is in Lishan Mountain, meandering through the entire Lishan Mountain.

Fang Dushu was flying over Li Mountain at this moment, and soon reached the eastern edge.

He didn't land on the ground, but stepped on his 'Five Lakes Rising Dragon Armor', suspended in the sky, overlooking the terrifying environment on the edge of Lishan in shock.

Under the distant sky, within the limitless range of sight, there are raging flames, and the mountains, rivers and everything on the earth are covered by the flames.

It was like an ocean of raging fire, which submerged all the ground in the east. The raging flames vacated more than ten feet, and the waves of fire jumped several miles into space, completely blocking the road from Lishan to the east.

"Junior Brother Fang, there is the famous Huoshaohai."

The person who spoke was a young male cultivator in luxurious clothes. He pointed to the direction of the flames and introduced to Fang Dushu: "I don't know how many thousands of miles you go east from here. It's all a land of flames. No one can go through it. It's a desert like the sky. An absolute realm that is still closed."

"Brother Gong, there is no vegetation growing in Mount Li, and the mountains in the area are full of scorched colors. Is it related to the burning of the sea?" Fang Dushu asked the luxurious youth.

Today is the third day since Fang Dushu arrived in Lishan.

Three days ago, together with Fu Yuqing, he entered Lishan along the Lishui River, and first went to the Bumu Gorge. This river gorge is the main altar of the Chuan School, and it is also the main ashram of the previous "Lishan Dharma Conference".

The Lishan Fa Conference is held every 30 years.

In the year when the last session was held, Fang Dushu had just joined the Zhenwen School. At that time, Sanfeng Wenshi had not long formed an alchemy, and he had led Qi Guangxiang to attend the meeting.

Now that more than thirty years have passed, the new Lishan Ceremony should have been organized a few years ago. Coincidentally, the sword demons caused troubles in the Li country at that time, and the factions of the Li country were invited by the Zhenwen sect to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the sword demons. There was no time to organize the conference, so it was postponed.

When the Sword Demon incident came to an end at the Panshi Bridge, it was time for the Lishan Ceremony to be held.

When Fang Dushu and Fu Yuqing arrived at Bumu Gorge, it happened to be the opening day of the Lishan Fa Conference, which will last for a month.

The three countries in Hexi all have their own Dharma conferences. When they were held in the past, monks from their own sects were generally sent to participate. This year's session is somewhat different.

Due to the invasion of the Gouye people, the sects of the three kingdoms in Hexi are sending disciples to each other to strengthen the ties among allies. Once a war breaks out, all sects and sects will be able to reinforce each other in time.

At present, all sects in Hexi have disciples stationed in Lishan, and this year's Lishan Dharma Assembly has doubled the number of previous ones.

It can be described as unprecedented.

It's also very lively.

After arriving at the Lishan Dharma Conference, Fang Dushu and Fu Yuqing found out that the elders of Jin Danqi from various sects rushed to Lishan Col at the eastern end of the Lishui River to visit the official Chuanliu Envoy located there.

On the same day, Fu Yuqing bid farewell to Fang Dushu and returned to the government office alone. She said she would go to the government office to make a report, and then she would return to meet Fang Dushu.

Fang Dushu stayed at the venue of the Lishan Dharma Conference.

There were a group of fellow students of the Zhenwen School stationed at the venue, and Fang Dushu managed to get an appointment with Lu Mian, a disciple of the Sichuan School, through the matchmaking.

He went straight to the point and directly offered to trade the "Four Seas Tour Whale Armor". Lu Mian did not reject it outright, but he did not agree to sell it either.

Master Lu Dengliu went to the government office, but the return date is uncertain.

Fang Dushu could only wait patiently.

During this period, Gong Yaodong, a disciple of the Chuanliu sect, returned to the sect from Liangguo. He once met Fang Dushu at the Panshi Bridge through Ling Guya of the Feixia School, and asked to buy a batch of spiritual dew. He also had the idea of ​​making friends with Fang Dushu for a long time. , So I took the initiative to pay a visit.

It happened that Fang Dushu planned to go to Huoshaohai to find out.

At the Bodhi Forest of Xiaoyuan Temple, Fang Dushu once heard from Master Tie Shuangfeng that the Hexi Territory and Qinghe Shenzhou Territory were connected in the past, and they were originally one. , causing the eastern part of the Hexi Territory to become an absolute domain, and communication with Qinghe Shenzhou was cut off from then on.

The war Master Tie Shuangfeng talked about actually happened in Huoshaohai.

The traffic jam was also caused by flames blocking the way.

This is Fang Dushu's first visit to Lishan. He is not very interested in the Lishan Fahui, but he has a strong curiosity about the remote area on the edge of Lishan.

When Gong Yaodong came to the door, he asked Gong Yaodong if he would like to be a guide.

Gong Yaodong readily agreed.

So the two came to Huoshaohai together.

"Junior Brother Fang's guess is right. The reason why Lishan doesn't grow any grass is related to the burning of the sea." Gong Yaodong grew up in Lishan since he was a child, and his ancestors were the envoys of the Great Pan Kingdom, so he has a better understanding of the situation of the burning of the sea.

He continued: "When I was young, I was serving the Patriarch, and I heard from the Patriarch that the Sea of ​​Fire used to cover Mount Li and devour the vegetation in the mountain. Afterwards, the fire gradually extinguished and Mount Li reappeared. As a result, the vegetation is in a state of extinction all year round and cannot grow."

Fang Dushu looked at the banks of the Lishui River not far away. The green forests are all over the place, and they have regained their vitality.

He said: "Flowers and grasses have grown heavily in the place where the river flows. In the future, the whole area of ​​Lishan should be full of spring, right?"

Gong Yaodong sighed softly: "That's not easy!"

He also pointed to the sea of ​​fire: "I also asked my patriarch this question when I was young. The old man said that Lishan is next to the sea of ​​fire, and he has to endure the sea of ​​fire all year round. If he wants to rejuvenate the whole area, unless the sea of ​​fire is extinguished."

Fang Dushu immediately asked: "When will the fire burning the sea be extinguished?"

He accidentally remembered the legendary Flaming Mountain. How did that mountain go out?It seems that it was wiped out by a banana fan. If there is no banana fan, it may burn for many years.

Gong Yaodong said: "The sea of ​​fire is not a big magic circle. The patriarch said that this sea is the remnants of mana. The fire is weakening every year, but the speed of weakening is extremely slow. The fire of thousands of years ago has weakened by half compared to now. If you don't If external interference is carried out to let this sea go out naturally, it will probably take thousands of years!"

"For thousands of years?"

Fang Dushu couldn't help frowning, he had always been looking forward to the Shangzong of Qinghe Shenzhou. After all, the Shangzong sent the river envoy to control the river, which showed that the Shangzong had the intention of recovering the Hexi territory.

But after he observed the situation of the burning sea, his sense of expectation was gone.

Judging from the current raging fire in the sea of ​​fire, even if the river envoy has a way to move the Lishui River from the depths of the ground, it will definitely not be able to withstand the burning of the fire.

The Sea of ​​Fire extends for more than tens of thousands of miles, not to mention the Lishui River, no matter what river is covered by the Sea of ​​Fire, it will inevitably be evaporated.

That's why Fang Dushu felt that the traffic between the Inner Hexi Territory and Qinghe Shenzhou could no longer be connected for thousands of years.

Unless the great masters of the Shangzong used spells to create a magic circle to protect the Lishui River in the sea of ​​fire, they would have to wait for thousands of years for the sea of ​​fire to go out automatically.

But monk Shangzong is willing to do it himself and open up traffic routes at any cost?Is Hexi Territory worth it for them?

Fang Dushu personally thinks it's not worth it, so he has no sense of expectation.

This time the envoy of Chuanliu rushed to Lishan to establish an official office, it should be just a show, to deal with the dispatch of the Shangguan.

"Brother Gong, where is the official office of Chuan Liu envoy?"

"It was built on the north side of the Lishui River, about two hundred miles away. There is a mountain depression there, and they opened up a barrier!"

Gong Yaodong thought that Fang Dushu was going to the official office for sightseeing, and said: "Those rivers and streams make seniors don't like to be disturbed. They set a radius of a hundred miles as a restricted area, and they set up restrictions. Hexi monks are not allowed to cross the boundary, otherwise they will cause trouble." It is a catastrophe, even if the ancestors of various sects come forward, it will be useless."

Fang Dushu signaled him to be at ease: "I'm just asking casually, I have no intention of visiting the official office."

Then he stretched out his arms towards him: "I've finished watching Huoshaohai, let's go back."

When Gong Yaodong was at Panshi Bridge, he had already learned about the weak patriarch of the Zhenwen School who had worshiped the Shangzong, and sent his disciple Fu Yuqing to rush back. At that time, there was a sensation, and the Jindanqi monks from the Three Kingdoms of Hexi rushed to entertain Fu Yuqing. The situation of Zong and Qinghe Shenzhou.

Gong Yaodong is also fascinated by Shangzong, but he is not cultivated enough, so he is not qualified to contact Fu Yuqing.

He served as Fang Dushu's guide this time not only to make friends with Fang Dushu, but also to inquire about Fu Yuqing's news. He had heard that Fang Dushu came to Lishan with Fu Yuqing.

On the way back, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Junior Brother Fang, this time when Senior Fu of the Shangzong returned to the official office, he didn't bring any entourage with him, but he took you with him. What is the relationship between you and Senior Fu?"

Fang Dushu laughed: "Senior Fu was originally a disciple of the Zhenwen School, and I happen to be a student of the Zhenwen School. I met her back then. I met her on the way to Lishan, and she gave me a ride along the way."

Gong Yaodong looked skeptical, and said in his heart that it was such a coincidence, to meet by chance, by chance?Brother Fang, are you lucky?

He felt that Fang Dushu didn't want to be exposed, and was about to inquire further, when he suddenly found a group of monks appearing on the winding Lishui River.

These monks all flew over from the direction of the official office, gathered together in twos and threes, there were about a dozen of them, and all of them were at the golden core stage.

Gong Yaodong recognized them at a glance. These seniors were Jindanqi elders stationed in Lishan from the Hexi sects. They went to the official office to meet Chuanliu envoys together earlier. This should be the end of the visit and they plan to return to Lishan for the ceremony. .

"Junior Brother Fang, let's land on the river bank quickly, don't offend the seniors."

"it is good!"

The two chose a cliff by the river, landed on the top of the mountain, and looked up at the seniors flying over their heads.

When Lu Dengliu, the elder of Chuanliu School, passed by, he recognized Gong Yaodong, waited for a while in mid-air, and asked Gong Yaodong if he wanted to take a ride with him.
In order to entertain Fang Dushu wholeheartedly, Gong Yaodong politely declined Master Lu Dengliu's kindness.

After Master Lu Dengliu flew away, Gong Yaodong introduced to Fang Dushu: "That is Master Lu Dengliu, he is very kind and usually takes good care of me."

He is a direct descendant of Gong Wuxi, the founder of the Chuan school, and once served as Gong Wuxi's sutra-chanting boy. All the Liu masters in the school actually treat him kindly and take good care of him.

When Fang Dushu heard that it was Master Lu Dengliu, he felt very regretful. He came to Lishan this time to meet Master Lu Dengliu, but he just passed by.

He was considering whether to encourage Gong Yaodong to chase Master Lu Dengliu together, but he heard a familiar female voice in his ears: "Brother Xian, why are you here?"

He hurriedly looked back, and saw a white silk and a flying sword hovering above the river, Fu Yuqing stood on the white silk, and the middle-aged female cultivator on the flying sword was the Lianzhen Wenshi of the Zhenwen School.

Just now Fu Yuqing spoke via voice transmission.

Seeing Fang Dushu looking over, she beckoned immediately, her red lips parted slightly: "Come up."

Fang Dushu immediately flew up to Bai Ling.

Seeing this scene, Gong Yaodong became even more suspicious. He had met Fu Yuqing at Panshiqiao, a disciple of the Shangzong, and a senior of the Jindan stage, but the other party Dushu was so pleasant, the relationship must be extraordinary.

Looking at Fu Yuqing's gentle attitude towards Fang Dushu, Gong Yaodong couldn't help but feel envious. Being taught the opportunity face to face by such a beautiful female senior, Fang Shidi's actions are really unpredictable, and he wondered how Fang Shidi could please Fu Yuqing of?
In the middle of the sky, she saw Fang Dushu and Fu Yuqing chatting enthusiastically, and she was also surprised. When Fu Yuqing was in the official office earlier, Fu Yuqing treated all the elders of Jindanqi of various sects indifferently, but Fang Dushu treated them differently. , which is very unusual.

When she was in Zhenwen School, she retreated all the year round. She only knew that Fang Dushu was the true biography of Sanfeng Wenshi, but she didn't know that Fang Dushu had such a deep friendship with the disciples of the ancestor Zhiwei. She couldn't help but wonder.

the other side.

Fu Yuqing told Fang Dushu: "I have already talked to Master Lu Dengliu about the Whale Whale Armor you want, and he will summon you after he returns to the Lishan Dharma Conference. If he rewards you with the oracle bones, you can accept it with peace of mind. decline."

She originally planned to go back to the Lishan Dharma Conference and tell Fang Dushu about it personally, but now that she meets Fang Dushu here, there is no need for her to go back.

She added: "I will transfer back to the government office immediately, and will always be stationed in the government office from now on."

Fang Dushu wanted to thank her for her help, but he didn't say anything, but asked, "How should Linglu be handed over to you?"

She glanced at Master Lianzhen: "You can leave it with Senior Sister Qi, I will go back to the Lishan Dharma Conference when I have time, and take the spirit dew by the way."

Fang Dushu said: "When I go back, I will arrange people to send a batch of spirit dew every six months. You don't want to take it just once."

Fu Yuqing nodded slowly: "Alright."

At this point in the discussion, there is nothing else between the two of them.

After Fu Yuqing said hello to Master Lianzhen, she went back to the official office alone.

When she walked away, Lianzhen Wenshi asked with a smile, "Xiao Fang, did you know Master Fu before?"
