Chapter 358 Old Spring Pass and Teleportation Formation
Qi Daoming escaped very fast.

In less than half a day, he took Fang Dushu to Laoquan Mountain, the northern border of Li Country.

After crossing Laoquan Mountain, go north to Dayong Kingdom.

Since the Dayong Kingdom has been captured by the deer slaughterers, there are fortresses along the way, so even the Nascent Soul cultivator cannot cross the border alone, otherwise there is a danger of being surrounded.

"Let's go to Laoquan Pass, and use the teleportation array inside the pass to reach the Tongyou River directly!" Qi Daoming fell with his sword and flew towards the river flowing through the mountains.

This river course is actually the way of the Lishui River, which splits into two tributaries in the mountains, one flows westward into the Shituo Gorge, and the other flows northward into the Qishui River in Dayong Kingdom.

The Laoquan Pass is located at the fork of the two tributaries.

Fang Dushu saw that Laoquanguan was built on the fork, extending tens of miles to the left and right, like a long wall stretching across the mountains.

He couldn't help sighing: "My disciple remembers that this place was originally a barren mountain, under the common jurisdiction of the three factions. In the past, there was not even a sentry post, but now a majestic city has been built. The change is really great."

Many years ago, the northern part of the Li country was owned by a sect called Ghost Axe Sect. Later, when the Snowfield Demon Disaster broke out, the Ghost Axe Sect was unfortunately destroyed, and the territory was divided among Zhenwen Sect, Feixia Sect, and Kurong Sect.

Because Laoquan Mountain is the dividing line between Li State and Yong State, and also a buffer zone, the three factions all gave up their possession of Laoquan Mountain to avoid being pushed to the forefront.

In this way, Laoquanshan became a place under the common jurisdiction of the three factions.

After the restoration of the Dapan court, it decided to give priority to strengthening the frontier defense, so it sent heavy troops to garrison Laoquan Mountain, and built a grand pass in the mountain to block the front of the deer butchers.

Laoquanguan is built across the river, and there is a teleportation array inside the pass, which can not only pass through Jiuquan Snowfield, but also directly reach Lishan Imperial City.

When Fang Dushu and Qi Daoming entered the pass, the gate guard commander Fu Lu personally received him. As one of the three monks in the mid-stage Yuanying period in Hexi, Patriarch Fu Lu should not have taken on such a drudgery.

But the Dapan Immortal Dynasty had just been reestablished, and the Fu family, as a royal family, needed to set an example to win the prestige among the monks of all sects. As the head of the family, Patriarch Fu Lu did his part to station at the forefront.

"Xiao Fang? You escaped from the Evergreen Realm?" Patriarch Fu Lu was very pleasantly surprised when he saw Fang Dushu at a glance, and said with a smile: "Back then you rescued the supernatural powers. There is no trace of you, now it’s all right, I finally have a chance.”

"Disciple has met Patriarch Fu." Fang Dushu stepped forward to salute, and asked again: "Is senior brother Fu also in the pass?"

"He's in the imperial capital! In order to get rid of his demons, he lost some of his skills. After he recovered, he has been practicing in retreat!" Patriarch Fu Lu changed the subject: "But in order to meet Xiao Fang, he will do everything important. Put it aside for now, the old man will send someone to tell him to come!"

At that time, Fu Shentong, Pikuyuanshi, and Xiang Peining were all controlled by demons because of their practice of killing immortals. Fu Shentong was the first to be rescued by Fang Dushu, and he entrusted Xuanjin Wenshi to send him to Panshi Bridge.

Although the whereabouts of Master Pikuyuan and Xiang Peining are unknown, they were trapped in the Xingming Cauldron following the demon spirit, and Fang Dushu also disappeared in order to track the Xingming Cauldron.

Patriarch Fu Lu quickly asked Fang Dushu about the whereabouts of the two of them: "Back then, at the boundary of the imperial palace, you, together with Piku of Xiaoyuan Temple and Xiaoxiang of Sanhua School, were involved in the boundary barrier by Xingming Ding, since you have come back , how are the two of them doing?"

What Patriarch Fu Lu really wanted to ask was Xingming Ding Ding and Xiaocheng Chariot.

Master Pikuyuan and Xiang Peining both left soul cards in their respective sects. When the two died, the sect received the news, and Patriarch Fu Lu was also aware of this situation.

Fang Dushu was about to answer.

Qi Daoming interrupted: "Brother Fu, can you let the matter of Piku and Xiao Xiang be put aside for a while? This time I came to Laoquanguan to ask for your help. The matter is urgent!"

"Oh?" Patriarch Fu Lu asked him, "What's the matter? Brother Qi, feel free to tell me!"

"The old man wants to use the teleportation formation in the pass to go to Tongyou Changhe." Qi Daoming's request for help was not limited to the teleportation formation, he also mentioned: "Nowadays Tongyou Changhe is often guarded by deer butchers, and it is not safe for the old man to rush alone. Let's go together!"

"The Tongyou River is not what it used to be, and the environment is very dangerous!" Patriarch Fu Lu was actually happy to help, the more dangerous the task, the easier it is for him to ask for conditions.

He joked: "Brother Qi, you open your mouth. The old man is willing to help you solve your problems, but this is risking your life. Brother Qi, you can't order the old man for nothing, right?"

After finishing speaking, he gave Fang Dushu a pleasant smile.

The reward he wanted was all on Fang Dushu.

Fang Dushu felt very strange in his heart, Qi Daoming did not mention to him the matter of inviting Patriarch Fu Lu to accompany him on the way here.

At this moment when it was brought up suddenly, Patriarch Fu Lu directly asked for a reward, Fang Dushu couldn't help being dumbfounded, should he be paid by himself?Even if you let yourself out, you should say hello in advance.

Qi Daoming gestured towards Fang Dushu: "Xiao Fang, take out the Chuanguo jade seal and let Brother Fu have a look, this jade seal is beyond hope!"

Fang Dushu was even more puzzled, wondering if the jade seal had any special function?He did so immediately, with Tuoxi in hand.

When Patriarch Fu Lu saw it, his eyes lit up immediately.

He first asked for proof: "Is this really the Jade Seal of the Legendary Kingdom left by the Tongtian Demon Kingdom?"

"Replace it as it is!" Fang Dushu poured a spell into the jade seal, and the shadows of two spiritual peaks appeared on the seal, and their appearance was the same as that of Xingyan Peak and Taizi Peak in Xingyao Palace.

There were originally seven stars on the jade seal, which corresponded to the seven star peaks of the Xingyao Palace in the past. However, when the Tongtian Yao Kingdom was destroyed, the five star peaks were destroyed. Currently, only Xingyan Peak and Taizi Peak can be controlled. .

"Xiao Fang, have you driven this jade seal, and can it move the Xingyao Palace?" Patriarch Fu Lu looked forward to asking.

"I did, I did. This disciple used the jade seal to move the Prince's Peak, and easily made the Prince's Peak travel dozens of miles in Tongyou Long Hanoi!" Fang Dushu replied truthfully, "But I have no chance to prove it with the Xingyao Palace!"

Fang Dushu's mind was very alert. Seeing that Patriarch Fu Lu attached so much importance to the Jade Seal, he thought that Xingyao Palace is currently being occupied by deer butchers. Could it be that Patriarch Fu Lu wanted to use the jade seal to do something in the palace?

"You have entered the Xingyao Palace before, did you use the jade seal to sense the palace?" Patriarch Fu Lu asked eagerly.

"I have sensed it many times. This jade seal and the Xingyao Palace are originally one, and the mutual telepathy is extremely sensitive!" Fang Dushu seemed to have thought of something, and said: "If the deer butcher hides the Xingyao Palace, disciple Guaranteed to use the jade seal to find the palace again!"

"Okay!" Patriarch Fu Lu clapped his palms and smiled, stepped forward and patted Fang Dushu on the shoulder: "Xiao Fang, you are truly a lucky general! Last time at Panshi Bridge, you were the one who turned the tide and beat the hooks. , this time you came back with Yuxi, you have solved the problem that troubled us, and you have made a great contribution!"

After he praised Fang Dushu, he said to Qi Daoming: "No matter what you do in Tongyou River, brother Qi, I am willing to accompany you, but after the matter is done, I hope to borrow the jade seal. You know, brother Qi, those barbarians who slaughtered deer Hiding the palace without a trace, we dived into the Tongyou River many times to search, but found nothing, the jade seal can't force the palace to reappear!"

This matter is no small matter. The deer butchers went south to the snowfield to compete for the Changqing boundary, which happened to be located on the Xingyan Peak in the Xingyao Palace.

The deer butcher hid the palace, and Changqing Jiekou also disappeared.

Ever since Master Beiting came to Hexi, he has been trying to organize monks from various sects to launch a counterattack against the deer butchers in order to snatch the Changqing Jiekou, but they couldn't find the location of the imperial palace, so the operation could not be carried out.

On the contrary, after the deer butchers hid in the palace, they saved a lot of troops and did not have to garrison in the palace. They began to attack everywhere and plundered the Hexi monks repeatedly.

The Hexi cultivator couldn't find the deer butcher's sore spot, so he could only hide in the territory of Li State, passively defending.

It is conceivable how important Fang Dushu's Jade Seal of Inheritance of the Nation will allow Hexi cultivators to turn their defenses into offenses and take the initiative in the entire war.

After Fang Dushu heard about this situation, he thought that after taking Qi Changzhen back, Taizi Peak would also be exposed, losing its role as a hermit, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo would also lose its value. If Patriarch Fu Lu asks for this Jade Seal in the future, he is willing to hand it over.

After all, Chuanguo Yuxi is related to the direction of the war. For the sake of the overall situation, he should submit the Yuxi to assist Hexi monks to seize the Xingyao Palace and Changqing boundary, which is also beneficial to him.

But he still carries the Xingming Dingding and Xiaocheng Chariot.

If he handed over the jade seal, would Patriarch Fu Lu think that he was weak and deceitful, and continue to coerce and lure him to give him the Xingmingdingding and Xiaocheng chariot?
Qi Daoming has never asked him about his situation in Evergreen Realm. What does this patriarch think about Xingming Ding and Xiaocheng Chariot?
Fang Dushu's thoughts were flying wildly.

Qi Daoming and Patriarch Fu Lu took out a panoramic spiritual map of the long river, and asked: "Xiao Fang, where is Xingyao Taizi Peak hidden in the river, please point it out!"

Fang Dushu glanced at it, and raised his hand to set a position on the spiritual map.

"Yuhu Gorge!"

Qi Daoming and Patriarch Fu Lu glanced at each other: "The river area leading to the teleportation array in the pass is about two hundred miles away from Yuhu Gorge. With our water speed, it will be there in an instant. Xiao Fang doesn't have to go with him!"

They disliked Fang Dushu's slow speed, which would slow down his actions.

As long as they hold the jade seals and rush to Yuhu Gorge, they will be able to locate the exact position of Taizi Peak, and it doesn't matter whether Fang Dushu follows or not.

However, Fang Dushu still did some supporting errands.

He and the two patriarchs dived into the river channel under the old spring pass. The monks stationed at the pass opened up a large number of water-proof barriers at the bottom of the river, and the teleportation array was built in one of the barriers.

The nature of this kind of teleportation array is similar to that of the Tongtian Archway. They are all teleported with the help of river power, and can directly reach the Tongyou River.

As for the gates teleported on land, monks from Hexi can also build them, but the wear and tear is astonishing. With the spiritual stone reserves of the Hexi sects, they can often withstand several or dozens of cross-border teleportations.

But at present, during the period of war, every time there is a large-scale war, hundreds or even thousands of troops need to be sent. If the land portal is used, after a battle, it is estimated that the spirit stone will be exhausted.

Therefore, the factions in Hexi are often unwilling to build this kind of gate, which is very impractical.

The river bottom gate is the cheapest and most efficient.

"Xiao Fang, you wait here, as soon as we find the Prince Peak, we will send it back immediately!" Qi Daoming and Patriarch Fu Lu urged, and entered the formation gate one after another.

Fang Dushu waited in front of the door together with several true disciples under the seat of Patriarch Fu Lu.

Seeing Fang Dushu's worried face, these disciples comforted him and said that the two patriarchs were highly cultivated and would definitely be able to successfully rescue him.

Fang Dushu talked about his worries. At present, Jiuquan Snowfield has been occupied by the deer slaughterer. He is worried that the two patriarchs will not be surrounded by the deer slaughterer no matter how powerful their mana is.

These disciples all laughed at him because he didn't know the situation in the snow field. The deer slaughterer had been going south for seven or eight years, and the total force was only tens of thousands of monks. How could he occupy the vast snow field?They can't take care of even the long river!

Moreover, the cold weather in Jiuquan Snowfield is not suitable for monks to practice. Most of the deer-slaying monks are in the Dayong Kingdom. Even if new deer-slaying cavalry go south in the future, they will only be stationed in Dayong, and will not live in the snowfield. superior.

The teleportation gate of Laoquanguan passes directly through the Dayong Kingdom and directly reaches the Tongyou River, avoiding the garrison area of ​​the deer butcher. As long as Qi Daoming and Patriarch Fu Lu don't take the initiative to tease the deer butcher, there will be no danger.

As expected.

Fang Dushu chatted with these disciples for more than half an hour before the portal opened again.

Qi Daoming and Patriarch Fu Lu acted swiftly, found Taizi Peak and sneaked in, and found that Qi Changzhen and Fang's family were all safe and sound, so they turned back immediately without delaying anything, and went back quickly.

I saw Qi Daoming flicking his cuffs and throwing the Chuanguo Yuxi into the river outside the barrier. The Taizi Peak moved along the water and was pulled to the bottom of the river through the portal. Click!With a bang, a gate of the animal bone palace appeared.

Fang Dushu recognized this palace gate as the entrance to Taizi Peak.

Seeing the success, Patriarch Fu Lu stretched out his hand to summon Yuxi: "The man has already been brought back. Brother Qi and Xiao Fang will stay in the pass first. I will rush to the imperial city immediately and report the matter of Yuxi to Master Chu, and wait for me to return to the pass." Let's talk about the old days later!"

Qi Daoming cupped his hands at him: "Brother Fu, please do yourself!"

Patriarch Fu Lu immediately waved his hands to several disciples, and together they went to the nearby water barrier, where a portal leading to the Lishan Imperial City was opened.

Wait for Patriarch Fu Lu and his disciples to disappear in the portal.

There were no outsiders around, so Qi Daoming said to Dushu Dushu: "You disappeared with the Xingming Dingding, an artifact that suppresses the kingdom of the Tongtian Demon Kingdom. This incident has been widely spread, and even Master Chu has heard of it! When I return to the imperial city, I will also mention you to Master Chu!"

He emphasized emphatically: "If Guru Chu personally asks for the Xingming Ding, he will summon you. If you are lucky enough to get the Xingming Ding, you must present it to Guru Chu. The benefits he rewards may exceed the value of the Xingming Ding itself. , Of course, if you don’t get this tripod, just tell Guru Chu the truth, don’t hide it from him, he has many ways to tell the truth from your words!”

Fang Dushu thought that the only ones he had to deal with were the Yuanying Patriarchs, but he didn't expect that even the masters were paying attention to the Xingming Ding, so it seemed that he had to deal with it.

But when he left the boundary of Yuelong Pass, the Xingming Ding Ding was bitten by a spirit bird and was already on the verge of collapse. It was even more dilapidated than when it appeared at the boundary of the imperial palace. Master would really take a fancy to such rags?

He was skeptical.
