Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 319 Evergreen River Palace
Blood Stone Gorge.

On the turbulent river, a group of monks flew from the direction of Xueqi City, and stopped above a water-absorbing vortex.

The disciple of the Fengming sect who was leading the way pointed to the whirlpool and shouted: "Patriarch Zhiwei, Master Fang Wen, this is the entrance to Xingyao Palace."

This group of monks was none other than Fang Dushu who had been waiting for many days in Xueqi City. After welcoming Patriarch Zhiwei, he accompanied Patriarch Zhiwei to the Xingyao Palace.

Liang Shengyin and Fu Yuqing were all accompanying them, and they said in unison: "Master, disciples, go ahead and explore the way!"

Patriarch Zhiwei pointed to Liang Shengyin: "Go, Shengyin, and bring all the accompanying expatriate disciples with you! There are Gouye people haunting the palace. If there is a fierce fight inside, don't bother to fight, come out and report the situation immediately!"

After speaking, he held up a bronze mirror: "Remember to open the spirit mirror!"

Liang Shengyin has already taken the spirit-watching mirror in her hand. This kind of mirror can attach spiritual consciousness to it. Once Liang Shengyin borrows the mirror to cast spells, any scene she sees in the palace can be instantly revealed in the mirror of Patriarch Zhiwei.

Liang Shengyin waved to the accompanying disciples of the Fengming Sect, and all jumped into the vortex.

Only Fang Dushu and Fu Yuqing were left to accompany Patriarch Zhiwei.

The patriarch Zhiwei looked at the mirror and asked Fang Dushu: "I heard from your patriarch, you hold a dewy marriage rope, which can avoid the sword demon's backlash, so you should have a way to track the whereabouts of the sword demon, right?"

Patriarch Zhiwei didn't know that the demon spirit had separated from Qi Changzhen. She received news that Patriarch Xiaoyue had discovered the whereabouts of the Hsiao Cheng chariot, so she believed that the Hsia Cheng chariot was still being driven by the sword demon.

Fang Dushu clasped his fists in response: "The disciple can't track it, and can't sense the trace of the sword demon."

Patriarch Zhiwei raised his phoenix eyebrows, as if he was not satisfied with his answer: "Since you can't catch up with the sword demon, then how did you save Fu Shentong?"

Entering Xueqi City earlier, she learned from Master Tie Shuangfeng that Fang Dushu had rescued Fu Shentong, which surprised her.

Fu Shentong, Splitting Kuyuanshi, and Xiang Peining were all controlled by the Sword Demon. If Fang Dushu could rescue one of them, it meant that Fang Dushu had fought against the Sword Demon before and won.

Three months ago, Patriarch Zhiwei accepted Qi Daoming's invitation and rushed to the Panshi Bridge to eliminate the demon, but halfway there, she received an urgent message that the sword demon fled the Panshi Bridge with a small chariot. She and Qi Daoming immediately launched a pursuit.

Finally, in the waters hundreds of miles away from the main altar of Xiaoyuan Temple, I met Master Xuanjin and Patriarch Feixia.

According to the two, the last place where the sword demon haunted was at the bottom of the river, but they used some kind of teleportation magic power to escape with the help of water, and could no longer detect any traces.

What realm did the Sword Demon escape to?At that time, none of the Yuanying patriarchs in Panshiqiao could lock the sword demon's position.

Fang Dushu also disappeared at the same time, and he suddenly brought back the talisman, which meant that he had firmly grasped the whereabouts of the sword demon when the sword demon escaped from the bottom of the river.

But at this time, he claimed that he could not detect the trace of the sword demon, which is obviously doubtful.

In fact, Fang Dushu also had hardships.

He has no way to explain to the Patriarch Zhiwei, so he can only try to justify himself.

He pointed to the Crying Valley on the north bank of Bloodstone Gorge:

"The disciple did try to track down the sword demon, but he failed to catch up. He only encountered a group of demon cultivators in the valley over there. These demon cultivators accidentally opened an underground waterway leading to Xingyao Palace."

He recounted how he got acquainted with Shi Liugong and Niu Moxing, several demon masters, and accompanied them to break into the palace, and said:

"These demon masters have some skills. They rushed all the way to Xingyan Peak, and finally found an entrance to a secret world on the upper peak. The disciple followed him and found that the talisman was sent by the sword demon to guard the entrance. He was rescued!"

There is nothing false in these words, he originally saved Fu Shentong by coincidence.

Patriarch Zhiwei couldn't find any flaws in his words, so he stopped questioning his words.

When Patriarch Zhiruo arrived at Xueqi City, Master Xuanjinwen had already left the city with his talismanic powers. She hurried to Panshi Bridge to exchange sword dishes, which happened to be staggered with Patriarch Zhiruo.

Therefore, Patriarch Zhiwei didn't see the supernatural power with her own eyes. In fact, she had a way to use the magic body of the supernatural power to cast spells to search for the location of the sword demon.

But Fu Shentong left first, and it was hard for her clever wife to cook without rice, so she could only find Fang Dushu to inquire about the whereabouts of the sword demon.

She heard Fang Dushu mention the entrance to the secret world, and asked, "So, the sword demon should be hiding in the secret world?"

Fang Dushu's words were cautious: "At that time when I rescued Fu Shentong, the sword demon never showed up. Whether she was hiding in the world, I can't be sure, and I don't even know the origin of that secret world."

Patriarch Zhiwei glanced at him: "Haven't you sneaked into the secret world to search?"

Fang Dushu responded with a wry smile: "Patriarch, you don't know something. There are groups of water monsters at the entrance of the secret world, and there are Nascent Soul-level water monsters guarding it. It is a fluke for the disciple to escape from the entrance. There is no chance to enter the world to search."

He knew that Patriarch Zhiwei came from the Shangzong, and he was well-informed, so he must know the details of the secret world, and even the origin of the 'Kunxu' could solve the puzzle.

He tried to ask again: "Patriarch, how did that secret world come into being? I have heard a legend that the long river leading to the secluded is connected to a ghost world. Is that secret world the underworld?"

Patriarch Zhiwei said: "Friend Xiaoyue of the Fengming Sect once entered the realm and fought with the Snowfield Demon King in the realm. Judging from the situation he introduced, the secret realm should undoubtedly be Changqinghe Palace. This palace interface contains It’s not wrong to call it the underworld.”

"Changqinghe Palace?" Fang Dushu turned his head to hear the name of this place, was aroused with great interest, and asked hurriedly: "What is the origin of Changqinghe Palace, does it have any connection with Qinghe?"

"There is a big connection. The Changqing River Palace is also called the Changqing River Realm. Wherever the water of the Qing River flows through, there must be a spiritual world born below the river!" Patriarch Zhiwei explained:
"The tributary of the Qinghe River stretches all over the world, and the rivers connect with each other. The same is true for the spirit world. Therefore, the Evergreen River Realm is a world of its own, and it is actually another realm!"

"Self-formed world?" Fang Dushu was inexplicably shocked. He really couldn't imagine that there was another world under the long river: "Patriarch, if the rivers are connected to each other, then if you sneak into the entrance of the secret world, won't you Can you travel directly to Qinghe Divine Continent through the secret world?"

"You can only shuttle to the bottom of the Dao Rivers in Qinghe Shenzhou, but whether you can break through the boundaries and escape into the Dao Rivers is a big problem!" Patriarch Zhiwei pointed out:
"The Evergreen Realm is completely closed. As long as any gap appears, it will be filled by the river soon. Even if it is not complete, the monks in the boundary will cast spells to fill the boundary! The entrance to the secret realm you found in the palace must be It was opened unintentionally, and the Nascent Soul-level water monster guarding the entrance also closed the entrance to make up the boundary, so he showed up!"

"Replenish the boundary? No wonder!" Fang Dushu suddenly realized when he heard it: "That water monster has the cultivation of Nascent Soul, but it has never rushed out of the entrance. He does not occupy Xingyan Peak, nor does he chase down any monks who break into Xingyan Peak. It turns out that he has a heavy responsibility, and he wants to close the entrance as soon as possible!"

"When did you meet him?" Patriarch Zhiwei suddenly asked.

"It should be two or three months." Fang Dushu said honestly.

"Then he must have sealed the entrance to the secret world!" Patriarch Zhiwei said firmly, "Fellow Xiaoyue from the Fengming Sect has only arrived at the palace for a few days, and even if he joins hands with the Gouye people, he still cannot reopen the entrance. !"

"The entrance was originally broken by several demon kings. Can't Patriarch Xiaoyue adopt the method of the demon kings?" Fang Dushu said.

"I heard from Fellow Daoist Xiaoyue that those demon kings inherited the fragments of the Xingming Cauldron, an artifact of the Heaven-reaching Demon Kingdom, and they used the fragments of Xingming to break the boundary!" Patriarch Zhiwei said, "But the fragments were taken away by several monsters. The king has brought him into the secret realm, and Fellow Daoist Xiaoyue has lost the power to break through the realm!"

When Fang Dushu saw Patriarch Ruo's speech, he always downplayed it, thinking that she must have a way to break through the boundary.

Fang Dushu no longer worried about the issue of the secret world being sealed, he planned to continue to ask for advice, what is the origin of those water monsters that can form a body with water?
But before he could open his mouth to ask, Patriarch Zhiwei turned cold: "Deer Slayer!"

With a flick of his sleeves, he threw the Spiritual Realm to Fu Yuqing: "Shengyin was trapped by the deer butchers, and I want to enter the palace myself. You wait here first, and come in after I have taken care of the deer butchers!"

Patriarch Zhiwei fell into the air and fell into the whirlpool.

Fang Dushu thought that she would rush there in person, no matter how many deer-slaying monks there were, she would be able to take care of them all.

As a result, after a while, the water-absorbing vortex on the river suddenly disintegrated and collapsed.

Once the vortex disappeared, it meant that the entrance to the palace had been blocked.

Fang Dushu couldn't help being startled: "Patriarch Zhiwei is in trouble?"

He turned his head to look at the Spiritual Realm held by Fu Yuqing, and saw a ghostly shadow of the Qinghu Lake on the mirror. The Xingyao Palace had long been poured into it by the Tongyou River, turning the palace into a lake.

Entering from the entrance of the palace, you will appear directly in the lake.

At this time, Liang Shengyin and Patriarch Zhiwei were all hovering on the lake, surrounded by a group of fully armed wolf cavalry. In front of Patriarch Zhiwei, an old man with white beard and double mace was floating in the air.

The two talked for a while in the air, obviously they didn't reach an agreement, and they quickly exchanged hands.

Fu Yuqing's Spiritual Awareness Realm can only be teleported, and there is no sound revealed, and I don't know what the two of them said, but judging from the tit-for-tat expressions of the two, it seems that their enemies are meeting each other, and they are extremely jealous.

The two fought for a while, and the opponents around Liang Shengyin began to increase. As a result, Liang Shengyin was exhausted in parrying, and was forced to terminate the spirit-watching realm, and all her mana was used to deal with the enemy.

Liang Shengyin withdrew suddenly, and Fu Yuqing's mirror image also disappeared without a trace and was completely extinguished.

Seeing this, Fu Yuqing glanced at Fang Dushu, and said solemnly: "Among the deer butchers is the leader of the monk Yuanying, and the master is entangled by this person. There are so many of them, and the senior sister may not be able to resist. We must immediately enter the palace to help! "

Fang Dushu pointed to the lake: "The entrance to the imperial palace here should have been sealed off by that Nascent Soul cultivator, and I can't get in anymore!"

He looked at Tiyou Valley again: "I know there is an underground waterway in the valley over there, but it's a bit far away, and the deer-slaying cavalry should control that waterway. If we break in, we will definitely be attacked, and so on." It may take a lot of time for us to open up the waterway and fight to the palace!"

Under the current situation, we must either force our way into the waterway, or wait here, waiting for Patriarch Zhiwei to repel the deer-slaying Nascent Soul monk and reopen the entrance to the river.

Fang Dushu didn't know much about the supernatural powers of Patriarch Zhiwei and the deer butcher, so he couldn't weigh the outcome of Patriarch Zhiwei. He didn't make a rash decision whether to detour or stay where he was.

Fu Yuqing was neat and tidy, and signaled to Fang Dushu: "Brother Xian, please lead the way, let's go to that underground waterway!"

"Come with me!" Fang Dushu didn't hesitate, and immediately turned around and flew towards the Crying Valley, asking on the way: "Could it be that Patriarch Zhiwei can't beat that old deer slaughterer?"

"Even if you win the fight, it will take a long time to tell the winner!" Fu Yuqing said:
"There are old enemies all over Shenzhou, and the deer slaughterers are the most famous. They have confronted the monks of the last sect countless times, and they know each other's supernatural powers very well. If the cultivation level is the same, it is like the master and the old man who slaughtered deer. Their fighting skills are basically equal. It's hard to win quickly!"

She has not been in the sect for a long time, and once she stayed in the sect to practice, she never traveled around the Divine Continent.

But her fellow disciples often mentioned deer-slaying monks, and even during the Zongmen Dabi, many fellow disciples imitated deer-slaying monks' supernatural powers so that they could be prepared for future encounters.

She knew that monk Slaughtering Deer was difficult, so she thought it was not a good idea to wait at the entrance, so she asked Fang Dushu to take another route, so as not to delay too long and not solve Liang Shengyin's predicament.

Fang Dushu heard that she had a certain understanding of the deer slaughterer, so he asked: "The deer slaughterer cavalry suddenly went south to the snow field, what is the reason?"

"It must be to seize the entrance of the Evergreen Palace. As long as you master the entrance, you can touch the hinterland of the Qinghe Divine Continent through the Evergreen Palace!"

Fu Yuqing had heard about the Changqinghe Palace in the Shangzong, but he didn't know much about it: "But the deer butchers are far away in the Kuntian Wasteland. How did they know that the entrance to the secret realm of the Xingyao Palace is the Changqing Palace?"

Fang Dushu immediately thought of the ghost master Xueshou, and analyzed: "There is a demon master here in Tiyou Valley. He once went north to Tielin Mountain to invite fellow demon cultivators who live in the mountain to gather in Xingyao Palace. This demon master She is very clear about the inside story of the palace, she happened to be caught by deer-slaying cavalry in Tielin Mountain, did these cavalry deduce the situation of Evergreen Palace after soul searching?"

"possible!"

Fu Yuqing nodded: "Although Tielin Mountain is not the core territory of Kuntian Babu, the metal treasures in this mountain range are very rich, and it is the main source of casting armor magic weapons. Eight servants are stationed all year round. Digging for spiritual treasures in the mountains, if they meet the demon master by chance, it is really possible!"

The deer-slaying cavalry that Fang Dushu encountered outside Tiyou Valley were all from the Iron Nu tribe, which was the tribe that smelted weapons for the Eight Kuntian tribes.

Among the lower clans like the Tienu tribe, there are reward edicts issued by the eight Kuntian tribes. These edicts include finding the entrance to the Evergreen Palace. Can get rid of slavery and be promoted to a nobleman of the upper family.

This is also the reason why the iron slave cavalry went south.
