Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 315
Sensing movement from the lake on the eighth floor, Qi Changzhen immediately left Luo Demon Hall to check the situation.

She landed on the top of the waterfall, looked towards the center of the lake, her face relaxed immediately, and flew down the waterfall again.

"Ashu, why did you come out of the lake?"

She remembered that when Fang Dushu first entered Taizi Peak, Fang Dushu asked Qingqing to lead her to Luomo Temple to choose a cave. When passing by the lake, Qingqing had introduced to her that a teleportation array was sealed in this lake, which could lead directly to Xingyao Palace.

But to start the teleportation, you must use the Chuanguo Yuxi.

Seeing Fang Dushu holding a jade seal, she guessed that Fang Dushu had rushed back from the palace.

"I sent the little eagle to track down the demon spirit, all the way to the Xingyao Palace in the Heaven-reaching Demon Kingdom." Fang Dushu was still holding the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, casting spells did not stop.

He said, "If I had known that the demon was hiding in the palace, I should have teleported there by the lake, so as not to have to go back and forth."

This jade seal can control the teleportation array in the lake, hide its traces, and prevent it from being discovered by outsiders. He needs to hide the array gate in the palace to prevent it from being used by water monsters again.

Then when he goes to the palace next time, he can minimize the harm of the water monster.

"Where's Qingqing?" Qi Changzhen asked again: "She didn't come back from the palace?"

"She was taken away." Fang Dushu replied.

"Abducted? Who abducted her?"

"I don't know the details either. It's an ancient demon spirit left over from the imperial palace. It should be a water ghost."

"A water ghost that leads to the long river?"

"Qingqing is also a water demon born in the river. She thinks that the water ghost was born in the Tongyou River, and she regards the water ghost as her own family. That's why she was careless and was captured by the water ghost."

"Like Qingqing, who was born with a monster clan, she has a very effective response to her fellow clan. If she concludes that she is related to the water ghost, then there must be a connection."

"That's what I thought too, but the water ghost kept Qingqing indiscriminate. I'm worried that even if there is a family relationship, the water ghost might have bad intentions."

In fact, Fang Dushu didn't know whether he had bad intentions. When the water monster first saw Qingqing, he knelt down and bowed. If it wanted to murder Qingqing, it didn't have to do so.

But while it treated Qingqing courteously, it suddenly launched a sneak attack, which made Fang Dushu question its motives.

Seeing that Fang Dushu was in a bad mood, Qi Changzhen was obviously worried about Qingqing's safety, and asked again: "Where did Qingqing get kidnapped by the water ghost? Does it have anything to do with the demon spirit?"

She noticed that Fang Dushu was standing on the Nixia Formation, with Fu Shentong and Hinayana demon body imprisoned beside him. Since he captured the demon body back, Fang Dushu should have fought against the demon spirit.

Fang Dushu shook his head.

At this time, he had already arranged the teleportation formation properly, so he put away the jade seal and signaled to Qi Changzhen: "Let's go to Luo Demon Hall, and I will slowly tell you about the experience of this trip."

After rushing to the Luo Demon Hall and re-sealing the supernatural powers and Hinayana demon body, Fang Dushu also roughly told Qi Changzhen about the process of intruding into the palace.

After Qi Changzhen finished listening, he revealed an ancient secret to Fang Dushu: "I once heard from my patriarch that the Xingming Ding Ding, the sacred artifact of the Yao Kingdom, is a treasure found in the Tongyou River."

Fang Dushu had doubts about this tripod for a long time: "Is there any difference between Xingming tripod and ordinary bell tripod?"

Qi Changzhen said: "The biggest difference is the number of years. This tripod was found by the founding demon king of Tongtian Demon Kingdom, and he ruled the Xueyuan people with this tripod, creating a foundation for ten thousand years. This tripod is longer than the history of the entire Demon Kingdom. long."

When he was in the palace, Fang Dushu heard Ghost Master Xueshou talk about the Xingming Ding, and he thought that the Ding was realized by the ancestor of the Qixing royal family, and it turned out to be an inheritance from ancient times.

Fang Dushu became very interested in this ancient historical relic: "The Xingming Cauldron has been passed down for such a long time, so it should be the same as the Demon Chain of Executioning Immortals, and the spirit of law has been born, right?"

Qi Changzhen did not deny it: "There must have been a cauldron spirit, otherwise the power of the Xingming cauldron would not be far greater than that of an ordinary bell tripod, but during the war in the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, the Xingming cauldron never appeared in this world!"

The world of cultivating immortals has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. During this period, there are as many bells, cauldrons, oracle bones, and Taoist ropes as dense as stars, but most of them cannot survive the erosion of time.

These ancient clocks, tripods, oracle bones, and Taoist ropes, even if they were not destroyed by the monks during their fighting, would slowly wither and perish after a long period of exposure to wind, sun, frost and rain.

If it can be passed down through the ages, the spirit of law will be born without exception, but the spirit of law is not immortal, and once it is seriously injured, it will still die.

There is no doubt that Xingming Ding is the bell tripod that gave birth to the spirit of Fa, but where is the tripod spirit?
What Qi Changzhen knew was actually guesswork: "It is rumored that before the founding demon king found Xingming Cauldron, the cauldron spirit had already died, because there was no news about the cauldron spirit from the establishment to the collapse of Tongtian Demon Kingdom, and... …

"And what?"

"The location where Xingming Ding was first discovered is the heart of the long river, which seals the entrance to the ghost world, but this has always been a legend and has never been confirmed by our human cultivators." Qi Changzhen also listened to Fang Du. The tree preached about the entrance to the secret world in the palace, and she remembered this ancient legend.

"The ghost world?" Fang Dushu became more and more curious as he heard it: "Could it be the underworld?"

"The ghost world is just a place where ghosts and creatures live, and has nothing to do with the underworld." Qi Changzhen chuckled: "Besides, the underworld is illusory, and the possibility of existence is even lower."

"The Tongyou Changhe was given the name of Tongyou, is it because of the Nether entrance?" Fang Dushu subconsciously thought of Qingqing, and wondered if the Nether spirit world was related to Qingqing, a water monster.

"According to the ancient books left by various schools in Hexi, the Tongyou River is indeed connected to a certain underworld, but we Renxiu have never visited it." These legends are all told by Qi Changzhen's elders when she was young. Listen to local anecdotes.

Later, she was parasitized by the demon spirit, and through the memory imprint left by the Jade Immortal Demon Chain, she had a clearer understanding of the 'underworld'.

She asked Fang Dushu: "During the Panshi bridge, Ashu, you used the dewy marriage rope to try to wake me up. At that time, my soul was suppressed by demons and I couldn't respond to you, so I released a section of illusion sealed in the magic chain of Zhuxian. Do you remember the content of the illusion?"

How could Fang Dushu forget?

That illusion was the most shocking scene Fang Dushu had ever seen in his life.

"Why did you suddenly mention the illusion?" Fang Dushu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Could it be that the underworld is the Kunxu?"

"I think it's the same place!" Qi Changzhen also deduced that Kun Ruins is actually the tomb of death, and death often leads to the realm of the underworld.

The Kunxu was first discovered by the Snowfield Lightning Eagle, which shows that the entrance to the Kunxu must be hidden somewhere in the snowfield.

There is a correspondence between the two phases, so it is not surprising that the entrance to the secret world is the entrance to the Kunxu.

Qi Chang's deduction is really reasonable.

Fang Dushu sneaked into the entrance of the secret realm of the imperial palace not long ago, and the entrance was occupied by a group of water ghosts, and there were so many water ghosts, if it wasn't for the Underworld, how would the ghosts survive?

Therefore, regarding the legend of the underworld, Fang Dushu believes that it must be true. The secret world of the palace is the ghost world that has been passed down since ancient times, including the name of "Tongyou" that connects the long river, which must also come from connecting the underworld.

But whether the underworld is Kunxu or not is still open to debate. Fang Dushu doesn't quite agree with Qi Changzhen's point of view.

It should be known that there is a Qingpeng bird hidden on Fang Dushu's body. The Kunxu is the birthplace of the Qingpeng bird. If the entrance of the secret world is the entrance of the Kunxu, the Qingpeng bird will definitely be able to sense it.

But when Fang Dushu dived into the entrance earlier, the Qingpeng bird didn't react at all.

He discussed with Qi Changzhen for a while, but he couldn't find any other valuable clues, so he temporarily put the matter aside.

"Fu Shentong is the direct descendant of the ancestor Fu Lu of Hou Panzong. After three months, let's go to Xueqi City to meet Master Xuanjin. I will give Fu Shentong to Master Xuanjin and let her bring it back to Houpanzong. .”

Fang Dushu didn't intend to take action to exorcise Fu Shentong. He took the risk of rescuing Fu Shentong from the palace.

He asked Qi Changzhen, "What should I do with the Hinayana demon body?"

Qi Changzhen stretched out his hand towards him: "Where's the Token of Forbidden Demon?"

He heard the words and took out the token.

Qi Changzhen took it in his hand, then used the token to check repeatedly on the Hinayana demon body.

Afterwards, she said: "The restriction on the demon body should have been arranged by one of Master Fu Lu, Master Wanglei, and Grand Master Sunflower. No matter who they are, they can sense the position of the demon body through the restriction."

Fang Dushu was not very worried about this hidden danger: "These three patriarchs, they will be stationed at the Panshi Bridge, and they will never leave the bridge in the short term."

But Qi Changzhen said: "But they may hand over the method of tracking and prohibition to other patriarchs, and come to the snowfield to initiate tracking!"

The Hinayana demon body and the Hinayana chariot are the common heritage of all schools in Hexi. Fu Shentong, Pikuyuanshi, and Xiang Peining are the direct descendants of the three patriarchs. Regardless of whether they are public or private, they should be recovered by someone.

But right now the coalition forces of various factions are confronting the Gouye people at the Panshi Bridge. As long as the Gouye people don't act rashly, then the Yuanying Patriarch of the various factions will not leave the bridge without authorization, which will give the Gouye people an opportunity.

Therefore, even if the three patriarchs had a way to track down the Hinayana demon body and the chariot, they probably would not have sent Yuanying Patriarch to the snowfield.

But accidents cannot be ruled out.

When the first battle of the Panshi Bridge ended, the ancient monk Wanglei, in order to take care of Xiaoyuan Temple's interests, had bluntly proposed to send people to the snowfield to find Youshui oven in exchange for the Gouye people's retreat.

Although the ancient monk Wanglei did not convince the patriarchs of the various sects, he pointed out one thing, the Gouye people might take the initiative to look for Youshui ovens on the snowfield.

After all, the first battle was unfavorable, and the Gouye people suffered heavy casualties. It is not wise to continue to attack the Panshi Bridge. If all the lost Youshui ovens can be recovered, it will be beneficial to the Gouye people.

And once the Gouye people decide to go to Tongyou Changhe to search for Youshui oven, they will definitely send Yuanying level monks to go out in person.

Correspondingly, the Hexi factions will also dispatch the Yuanying Patriarch to follow to Xueyuan to monitor the situation here.

At that time, Patriarch Fu Lu, Ancient Monk Wanglei, and Granny Sunflower will definitely arrange the task of finding the small chariot and the demon body by the way.

In this way, Fang Dushu will become a hot potato if he keeps the Hinayana demon body by his side: "How should we prevent this future trouble?"

Qi Changzhen said: "All the restrictions on the demon body must be erased! Once the restrictions are removed, outsiders will no longer be able to sense the location of the demon body!"

She held up the token of the forbidden demon, and provided another way to erase it: "I can use this token to destroy the prohibition on the demon's body, but when the prohibition is cleared, the token will also be scrapped, and the demon's body will be reduced to nothing." As a dead thing, it can no longer be used."

From now on, the Hinayana demon body can only be suppressed and used as an ornament.

"Chang, please work hard and destroy the ban immediately!"

Fang Dushu didn't hesitate, and asked Qi Changzhen to get rid of this trouble, but then asked: "After the restriction is removed, can the demon spirit find this place through the Hinayana demon body?"

Fang Dushu was always worried about the devil.

He has no scruples about the Yuanying Patriarchs of various sects. Even if these patriarchs find the trace of the Hinayana demon body and enter the Taizi Peak personally, at most they will scold him a few words and take away the Hinayana demon body, and they will not even punish him.

But if the devil came to the door, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Qi Changzhen said: "The Hinayana chariot and the Hinayana demon body can sense each other, and the demon spirit can use the chariot to lock the position of the demon body! But don't worry, Ashu, the most urgent task of the demon spirit is to reshape the spirit body. In ten years, even if the demon finds a place full of Yin demons, it will take at least ten years to recover!"

During this period, the demon will not take the initiative to come to the door, because before the spirit is rebuilt, the demon is extremely weak, it can't fight Fang Dushu at all, and it will be worried that Fang Dushu will find it.

After Fang Dushu heard this, he decided to take the initiative: "In this case, I will visit Xingyao Palace again to track down the whereabouts of the demon spirit!"

He immediately frowned again: "But Xiaoying follows Qingqing, without Xiaoying's knowledge of killing immortals, I can't find where the demon is hiding!"

Qi Changzhen smiled slightly and solved this problem for him: "The last time you left Taizi Peak, I gave you a magic charm. That charm can not only eliminate the magic consciousness of Zhu Xian, but also sense the traces of the magic consciousness. When you go to the palace, as long as you hold the talisman, you can find the whereabouts of the little eagle."

In fact, Fang Dushu is wearing Qingqing's Bone Transformation Bracelet, through which Qingqing can also be sensed.

The key is that the entrance to the secret world is not easy to break through.

At that entrance, there are not only water ghosts forming an array, but even Nascent Soul-level masters guarding it. If he can't pass this level, he can't do anything.

"Then Achang, you are here to break the restriction of the Hinayana demon body, and I will go to the lake teleportation array to take a look."

Fang Dushu was thinking about Qingqing in his heart, and planned to break into Xingyao Palace again.

At this time, half a day had passed since he escaped from the palace, and the situation in the palace should be back to normal.

The last time he escaped from the entrance of the secret world, he used the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to teleport directly from the bamboo forest in Shangfeng to the lake in Zhongfeng. Even the Nascent Soul-level water demon guarding the entrance could not lock his teleportation position.

There is no problem entering the palace again.

After he turned back to the palace lake through the teleportation array and checked the environment, he was indeed not in danger, but what left him speechless was that there were still water ghosts entrenched at the entrance of the secret world, as if they planned to guard it for a long time.

The passage for him to sneak into the secret world was blocked, and he had to turn back to Prince Peak. Before he found a way to cross the water ghost group, it was meaningless for him to enter the palace again.
