Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 374
Originally, Xiaoying didn't have a strong desire to leave Hexi. Even if it was delayed for several years, it would be no problem for her to start her journey after completing the survey of the snow-covered glacier's mountain road topography.

But after hearing the news that Bi Xizhong tried to revive Sun Feilu, Xiaoying was already worried, and only hoped to leave as soon as possible.

"Xiao Fang, please notify me as soon as you get back the jade seal."

"I promise there will be no delay."

Fang Dushu made a promise to let Xiaoying live temporarily in the Shepan Realm, and he returned to the imperial city to wait for news.

Only a few days later, He Tieshang brought a group of Hexi monks back to the city first, and he was ordered to bring back an imperial order.

Because all the deer-slaying monks in the Dayong Kingdom had fled, and the former factions needed to send troops to recover their territories. He Tiezhang returned to the city to dispatch troops and generals.

The ruler of the country, Fu Yuan, and Master Chu are still guarding the Iron Scale Mountains on the border of the snow field, monitoring the movement of the deer butchers retreating into the Tie Scale Mountains.

Fang Dushu couldn't see the two masters, so he asked He Tieshang to find out the whereabouts of Yuxi.

He Tieshang happened to know: "The jade seal was placed in the hands of Monk Wanglei of Xiaoyuan Temple. Master and Master Chu arranged for him to be stationed in Xueshi Gorge of Tongyou River to guard the palace and the boundary. Are you in a hurry to get the jade seal?" ?”

Fang Dushu said: "It's not urgent, I want to move the Taizi Peak to the imperial city, and open up a closed-door barrier for Patriarch Xuanjin. She has decided to use the rejuvenating lotus of the master to conceive a baby. You know it, brother." , she doesn't have many days left in her lifespan, so she needs to prepare in advance."

"That's it." He Tieshang thought about it for a moment, and took the whole package: "I'll go to the snowfield right now and get the jade seal back for you. When you move to Taizifeng, I will return the jade seal to the ancient monk Wanglei .”

"Will this affect Master Wanglei's work?" Fang Dushu asked.

"Hey, what's the impact! The deer slaughterers have all evacuated from the snowy field. Even if someone sneaks back, they can't do anything about the palace and the boundary. The boundary is fixed and they can't take it away! Don't worry, it won't have any impact!"

The purpose of the deer butchers going south is to snatch the boundary and explore the shuttle route of the Evergreen Realm. Now they have no ability to continue to occupy the boundary, and they will not secretly destroy it.

He Tiezhang acted quickly, and asked Yuxi to come back for Fang Dushu on the same day. Fang Dushu first asked Yuxi to transfer Taizifeng to the imperial city, and then entered the enchantment inside the peak to take out Luomomen.

After returning the jade seal and instructing the disciples of the Qi family to rebuild the Prince Peak, he took Luo Momen back to Shangfang City and met Xiaoying in the Shepan Realm.

After Xiaoying received Luomomen, he didn't stay in the snake world for long, and soon packed his bags and set off for the snow-covered mountains.

Fang Dushu saw him off all the way, and asked Xiaoying for the map of Snow Mountain on the way, maybe he can use it in the future, so he will be prepared.

Because the snow-covered mountain is far away, it took a few days for the journey. When it arrived outside the mountain, Xiaoying bid farewell to Fang Dushu: "If you go further, you will enter the snowy area. You don't need to send it away. Let's go back."

She was very grateful to Fang Dushu for escorting her, but she always had a cold tone. This was a temper she had cultivated over the years, and she could never change it.

Fang Dushu looked forward, his eyes were full of vast snow scenery, which was no longer suitable for him to set foot in, so he said: "Well, you should be more careful, if climbing the mountain is really difficult and you can't cross it, then go back to Shangfang City Repair, I will send a disciple of the Fang family who is familiar with you to stay in the city to meet you at any time."

"That's not necessary." Xiaoying said firmly: "Even if I can't go to Shenzhou, I will find a secluded place in the snow-covered mountains. There are no people in and out of this mountain, far away from the right and wrong of Hexi, which is just right for me. live."

When she was in the snowfield, she was already used to working with the cold climate. Some of the icebergs in the snowfield were actually somewhat similar to the snow-covered mountains.

"Although I think the possibility of Senior Bi resurrecting Sun Feilu is very high, it may fail." Fang Dushu said.

"Regardless of whether Sun Feilu is resurrected or not, I don't plan to return to Hexi." After Xiaoying regained her memory, the experience of following Fang Dushu and Qingqing in these years is still preserved. She witnessed the invasion of Gouye people and deer butchers. It is no longer a place of peace.

She bowed her hands to Fang Dushu at the end, did not say anything, and said goodbye silently.

Fang Dushu watched her disappear into the vast snow-capped mountains, thinking that it might not be a bad thing for her to be willing to live alone.

The rejuvenating lotus of the lord Fu Yuan can extinguish the fire and burn the sea. When the fire is extinguished in the future, the traffic between Hexi and Qinghe Shenzhou will be reopened, and the war will be more frequent.

The deer slaughterer is likely to send more troops south to the snowy plains. If she chooses to stay in Hexi and the snowy plains, her identity will be exposed sooner or later, and there will be no future troubles if she leaves.

After seeing off, Fang Dushu returned to the imperial city.

When he returned to the city, he learned that the lord Fu Yuan and Master Chu had returned from the snow field, so he immediately rushed to the palace to meet Fu Yuan.

Fu Yuan summoned him in the inner hall, and the four major disciples were by his side, discussing about the celebration of the transformation of the gods. When the celebration is over, Fu Yuan will also open the altar to give a lecture. The promise I made was to teach "The Way of Rejuvenation" after returning from the snowy field.

Seeing Fang Dushu enter the hall, the discussion was suspended, and laughter resounded in the hall.

After the master and apprentice finished gossiping, Fang Dushu began to report the situation of Master Xuan Jinwen.

After hearing this, Fu Yuan made arrangements: "Since she has decided to make the last attempt to conceive a baby, then after the God Transformation Ceremony is over, let her sit in the Huichun lotus, and after a few years of nurturing, she can finally conceive a baby. "

Fang Dushu was puzzled and asked: "Master, do you need to prepare for this for several years?"

Fu Yuan explained: "When I was a teacher, Lian Ling suffered some damage. If it doesn't recover, how can I resist the Nascent Soul Tribulation? In fact, even if Lian Ling is intact, it still needs to be in contact with the tribulation survivor for several years. With affinity, the hope of resisting robbery will be greater."

Only then did Fang Dushu understand: "The disciple will notify her and ask her to prepare for the retreat."

Fu Yuan nodded, skipped this matter, and talked about Guru Chu: "At Laoquan Pass, Guru Chu said that he would recommend you to the Daxi court. How did you think about it?"

Fang Dushu said: "The disciple is from Hexi. He has never been to Qinghe Shenzhou, nor has he had contact with the Daxi court. He will not consider going there. The disciple has worshiped under the seat of the master, so he must follow the master."

Fu Yuan laughed: "It's very gratifying for you to have such thoughts, but there is one thing I need to tell you. When you were in Changqing Realm, you once found a Xingming cauldron. Master Chu has a way to repair it for you. , if you want to repair the tripod, Master Chu is willing to help, but the condition is that you must go to Beiting Mansion to serve for some years!"

Fang Dushu couldn't understand what was wrong for a while, so he asked casually, "How long does the disciple need to work for?"

Fu Yuan did not give a definite date: "When will you return to Shangzong as a teacher, and when will you come back! As a teacher, you must guard Hexi until the fire burns the sea and restores the previous landform. It will take decades to do it!"

In other words, Fang Dushu will serve in Beiting Mansion for decades.

Fang Dushu carefully asked for instructions: "Master, can this disciple refuse?"

"Of course!" Fu Yuan waved his hand: "Master Chu is not from the Five Sacred Sects. He really wants to bring you into the court of Daxi. If you have not advanced to become a god as a teacher, then you must go with him. Now you are a teacher. He has also been crowned as a guru. He no longer dares to force you, but he is still unwilling to give up, so he uses the restoration of the Xingmingding Cauldron as a bargaining chip, intending to attract you to Beiting Mansion. Talk about Taoism!"

Master Chu himself said at Laoquanguan that he was willing to repair the Xingmingdingding for Fang Dushu, and he was willing to recommend Fang Dushu to the Daxi court and the Shangzong, on the condition that Fang Dushu handle an errand. The errand is to go to the auxiliary road of Beitingfu.

At that time, Fang Dushu had no room to refuse, but now with Fu Yuan as his backer, even if he refused Master Chu, there would be no problem.

"The disciple wants to serve in front of the master and does not want to stay away from Hexi. As for the Xingming cauldron, it is already dilapidated, and besides, the spirit of the cauldron died early, so it doesn't matter whether it is repaired or not." Fang Dushu said: "Of course, if the master Zun thinks the disciple should go, and the disciple will follow orders."

"You make up your own mind on this matter. As a teacher, you have no relationship with the Daxi court, and you don't need to rely on your disciples to win over any favors." Fu Yuan made it very clear: "When you return to the Shangzong in the future, the teacher will take care of you. Find the way to repair the cauldron, and you won't let the cauldron become dusty in your hands!"

He said so, it must be that there is no way to repair the tripod now, and he must return to the Shangzong and ask his fellow disciples for help.

Fang Dushu immediately asked: "Then the disciple will not go to Beiting Mansion! But Master, how should the disciple reject Master Chu?"

Fu Yuan smiled and replied: "As long as you don't want to go, I will talk to Guru Chu for the teacher's meeting. After the talk, Guru Chu and his disciples will not touch you again!"

This matter is actually for Fang Dushu's final apprenticeship.

Master Chu already knew that Fang Dushu assisted in the achievement of "The Way of Rejuvenation", and both emotion and reason have been accepted by Fu Yuan, which is also the practice in the world of cultivating immortals in Shenzhou.

But after all, Master Chu was the first to recruit Fang Dushu, but was cut off by Fu Yuan halfway. After all, there must be an explanation. When he was in Xueyuan, Master Chu discussed with Fu Yuan many times and proposed to let Fang Dushu go to Beiting Mansion. Effective for some years.

Fu Yuan was worried that Fang Dushu would be won over after he went to the Beiting Mansion, and he would never be able to return to the Shangzong. This happened before.

Although the Daxi court and the Shangzong guard Qinghe Shenzhou together, they belong to two different systems. The good seedlings favored by the imperial court in the past are sometimes cut off by the Shangzong, and the geniuses favored by the Shangzong are sometimes abducted by the court. Walk.

As for which side the 'genius' ultimately belongs to, anyway, the imperial court and the emperor will try their best to buy people's hearts.

Therefore, Fu Yuan was unwilling to let Fang Dushu go to Beiting Mansion, but he did not immediately reject Master Chu in Xueyuan, only said to listen to Fang Dushu's own opinion after returning to the imperial city.

In fact, Fu Yuan was just going through the motions, he was just pushing and shoving Guru Chu so that he could think of ways to reject Guru Chu.

At this moment, Fang Dushu directly stated that he had no interest in Beiting Mansion, which made Fu Yuan even more happy: "Okay, as a teacher, let's talk to Master Chu, and you can prepare for the celebration with your senior brothers and sisters. "

Fang Dushu is a new disciple, and he has no right to speak in front of the four major disciples. He only obeys orders, but the four major disciples do not despise him, and immediately tell them all about the celebration. Will ask him what he means.

For the next half month, Fang Dushu was busy with this matter.

When the celebration came to an end, under the guidance of Fu Yuan, master Xuan Jin entered the palace and sat in the lotus to warm up. Fang Dushu also relaxed.

On this day, he went to Fengming Mansion to look for Song Tongli, and planned to accompany Song Tongli to Huoshaohai to meet Bi Xizhong.

He had already dealt with all the mundane affairs, and it was time for the resurrection of Sun Feilu to start.

However, he did not see Song Tongli when he arrived at Fengming Mansion. Tie Ming and Song Mozhu came forward to receive him, saying that Song Tongli was called away by a Yuanying Patriarch in the city, and he left the house early in the morning. Will be back.

Fang Dushu asked who is the Yuanying Patriarch?

Tie Ming and Song Mozhu said that they were Yuan Ying stage seniors who came from Beiting Mansion, not the ancestors of various sects, and they didn't know who they were.

Fang Dushu was curious, why did the officials of the Beiting Mansion summon Song Tongli?
He didn't think too much, since Song Tongli's return date was uncertain, he left the imperial city alone.

When he escaped into the sea of ​​fire and arrived at the peak where Bi Xizhong retreated, he suddenly found that outside the stone hall of the cave on the top of the mountain, there were all black armored guards from the Beiting Mansion.

Obviously, it is easy to see that the officials of Beiting government summoned Song Tongli today to meet with Bi Xizhong.

Bi Xizhong had a guest come to the door, Fang Dushu was considering whether to land on the peak, but he saw Song Tongli flew out, and rushed to his side in the blink of an eye: "Why are you here?"

Fang Dushu said: "I came to see Senior Bi, but he seems to have guests!"

Song Tongli suddenly switched to voice transmission: "No guest from the heavens can compare to you, my virtuous brother. These celestial masters have already prepared the Nirvana Formation and are just waiting for your virtuous brother to visit! Don't leave, just wait for a while. After those monks from the Beiting Mansion leave, let's go see Master together!"

Fang Dushu had no opinion.

He inquired: "Does Senior Bi still have friendship with the monks of Beiting Mansion?"

Song Tongli nunuzui: "How can there be any friendship, I have never met before, and I don't know why they came to visit Master on a sudden whim today. They don't know the place of Master's retreat, so they summoned me first , let me lead them the way!"

Fang Dushu stroked his chin and guessed: "If there is no friendship, then they should want to recruit Senior Bi!"

The group of officials under Master Chu originally planned to recruit Fang Dushu, but they were snatched away by Fu Yuan. They may have shifted their target because of this and started to win over Bi Xizhong.

Although Bi Xizhong received the invitation card from the Emperor, it has been a rule for thousands of years. Any Hexi monk who has realized the Dao and conceived a baby can get the entrance ticket of the Emperor.

At present, Bi Xizhong has four invitation cards in his hands, except that Zhongmiao Palace does not recruit male apprentices, there is no way to give him an invitation card, and the other four factions all let go of their gates to him.

According to the recruiting rules, Bi Xizhong can choose any of the four sages. Now he is only thinking about resurrecting Sun Feilu, and he doesn't consider the issue of the sage's worshiping the mountain at all.

So Bi Xizhong's sect has not been determined yet.

Song Tongli frowned when he heard that Beiting Mansion was to win over Bi Xizhong. The more popular his master was, he could also follow suit: "Your brother actually knows the reason for the monks' visit to Beiting Mansion. You know the situation there quite well. Which faction of the Five Sacred Sect is the most powerful and most suitable for Master, can you analyze it and let me advise Master."
