Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 384 Belonging and Journey

Hearing that Fu Yuan mentioned staying in Hexi, he can arrange it enthusiastically.

King Yuelong explained: "I have traveled abroad for many years, and this time I returned to Daxihuangcheng to participate in the Sijiazi Fuyao Ceremony. After hearing the news of Yuelong's survivors in the imperial city, I decided to go to Hexi first."

Her cultivation is in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and she meets the qualifications to participate in the meeting.

Therefore, she didn't want to stay in Hexi, and politely refused: "I'm here to confirm whether the survivors are descendants of our clan. After meeting the survivors, I will still go to explore the Fuyao Tower."

Listening to her tone, it seems that she doesn't think that the survivors are related to her blood. After all, the survivors have been lost in the Evergreen Realm for too long.

But accidents could not be ruled out, so she took a detour to Hexi in advance while attending the Fuyao Puja.

Her plan is, if the survivors are not descendants of her clan, then she will continue to participate in the meeting. If the survivors are indeed members of her family, she will consider how to arrange these survivors after the meeting is over.

Fu Yuan understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "My disciples Tiezhang and Dushu will leave for the Fuyao Pagoda soon. When King Yuelong meets the survivors, would you like to go with them?"

King Yuelong made it clear: "This is exactly what I want, everyone can take care of each other."

"That's good!" Fu Yuan heard her agree, and said: "All the survivors live in the mansion of Wutu Dushu. After I tell him a few important things, let him accompany him personally and introduce you to the survivors."

Then he turned his attention to his great apprentice Di Honglin: "You take King Yuelong to visit the palace first, and introduce the customs of Hexi, and I will let Dushu find you later."

"Disciple obeys the order." Di Honglin immediately made an invitation gesture to King Yuelong. He has reached the middle stage of Yuanying, and he is also an important minister of the Dapan court. It is more than enough to accompany the already lost King Yuelong.

However, King Yuelong was a woman after all, so Di Honglin called his fourth junior sister, Su Batnv, and they left the Palace of Political Affairs together.

When Fang Dushu and He Tieshang were the only ones present, Fu Yuan began to reveal King Yuelong's old background: "This King Yuelong, she doesn't have a territory, and her family has reached the point of extinction. The decline of the princes and kings in the Daxi Dynasty was the most serious."

Fang Dushu was very surprised: "Her family has declined to such an extent, why hasn't Wang Jue been dismissed?"

He Tiezhang had a certain understanding of King Yuelong's family background, and replied: "Her prince is just a false name, without any real benefits. The princes and kings' salaries have already been squeezed out, so the reason why she kept her King Yuelong The title, this is the Daxi court abiding by the ancestral system!"

"Ancestral system? What ancestral system?"

"When the Daxi Kingdom was founded in the past, the founding emperor conquered from the south to the north, and ruled almost the entire Qinghe Shenzhou. In order to govern the fertile territory of Shenzhou, he divided up 36 princes. These princes were all veterans who followed the emperor. The emperor once Make a promise, as long as Da Xi is still alive, the titles of princes will never be abolished!"

This is not empty talk. Over the past dynasties, no matter how the territory of the Daxi Dynasty changed, the number of princes and kings of the 36th Route has not changed, but it has only maintained the most basic face of the king.

Those princes and kings who lost their territories can still retain their false names in the Daxi Dynasty, but they can no longer get any substantial benefits from the court. Unless the family is strong enough and their cultivation is strong enough, the princes and kings are just a display.

He Tieshang joked: "The current King Yuelong is just a decoration. She has no status in Daxihuangcheng, otherwise she would not run away from home all year round and wander outside. She is worried about being humiliated in the imperial city and falling into the sky." Ancestral prestige!"

The more Fang Dushu heard it, the more surprised he became. He thought that King Yuelong was traveling in foreign regions in order to find opportunities for cultivation, but it turned out that he was expelled from Daxihuang City and could not return home.

"Since she is in such a dire situation, she should be willing to stay and settle in Hexi, but just now when Master invited her to stay permanently, she was vague. Why didn't she just agree to Master's invitation?"

"She's up for sale!" He Tieshang pointed out the reason: "After decades of exploration, we have opened up a Lishui River in Huoshaohai. Now she is qualified to fight for the ownership of the Yuelong Realm!"

"The Yuelong Realm was restored by Master with great painstaking efforts, why should she fight for it?" Fang Dushu suddenly became unhappy.

"Master must have contributed the most, but the Daxi court has an ancestral system, and the princes and kings' vassals cannot be deprived!" He Tiezhang also did not want King Yuelong to take a share of the pie, but this matter cannot be bypassed by King Yuelong.

Nominally speaking, the current Huoshaohai is still the private territory of King Yuelong. The lord Fu Yuan sent people to explore the river and cast spells to restore the Yuelong territory. Territorial interests.

Of course, King Yuelong's family has been ruined, and her mana is low, so she dare not make any attempt to Yuelong Realm, even if it is verbal rights and interests, she dare not fight for the slightest in front of Fu Yuan, instead she will try her best to fight with Yuelong Longjing draws a clear line so as not to offend Fu Yuan.

But according to the ancestral system of the Daxi Dynasty, whether she admits it or not, Yuelong Realm is her family's ancestral territory. After the whole Yuelong Realm rejuvenates, Daxi Dynasty is entitled to take back the territory and wait for redistribution. Sometimes, she cannot be avoided no matter what, and she must be negotiated with.

Although she is not qualified to negotiate, she will obediently obey whatever the court asks her to allocate, but the ancestral system is like this, and she is needed to act as a middleman in the negotiations between the court and the Dapan Kingdom to discuss the ownership of the Yuelong Realm.

After listening to He Tieshang's explanation of the doorway here, Fang Dushu commented on himself: "So, when Yuelong Realm is restored in the future, the Daxi court will come to pick the fruit?"

He Tiezhang couldn't figure out how the Daxi court would decide, so he couldn't help looking at Fu Yuan.

Fu Yuan has enough insight: "After the recovery of Yuelong Realm, it means that the connection between Hexi and Shenzhou will be opened up again. At that time, the deer slaughterer may continue the strategy of the ancient times and increase troops to Hexi as the front line to attack Shenzhou. In this way, the Yuelong Realm will become a hot potato, and the conservative forces in the Daxi Dynasty will try their best to get rid of this burden, and try every means to give the Yuelong Realm to our Dapan Kingdom!"

The intention of doing this is to use the Dapan Kingdom as a shield against the deer butchers to protect the border defense of the Daxi court.

Fang Dushu sneered at the behavior of these conservative forces. Retreating and defending can never guarantee the safety of the border, and taking the initiative to attack is the key to peace.

The best strategy to deal with the deer slaughterer is to push the troops into the deer slaughterer's lair, rather than wait for the deer slaughterer to attack under his nose and passively defend.

Of course, it is not that there is no such radical force in the Daxi court, but the power of Daxi is no longer what it used to be. It only occupies a small half of the ruling power, and the other half is divided by the five mountains.

After the traffic route between Hexi and Qinghe Shenzhou is re-opened, how to deal with the ownership of Yuelong Realm is up to the Daxi court, and this matter must be discussed with the Sect of the Five Sacred Mountains.

As for the decision of the Wuyue Shangzong, Fu Yuan believes that in order to ensure the safety of Shenzhou, the Shangzong will send his disciples to guard Hexi in rotation, and will never push Hexi and Yuelong Realm directly to the Dapan Kingdom.

At present, most of the rivers in Shenzhou are in the hands of Shangzong, and Shangzong is the biggest beneficiary of Shenzhou's territory. They will definitely not let deer slaughterers invade the hinterland of Shenzhou.

Once Shangzong personally took over the defense of Hexi and Yuelong Realm, Fu Yuan could leave without a pick and return to Shangzong to practice. He himself did not want to be tied up in Hexi, so he decided to put out the fire and burn the sea, and finally contributed to Hexi's return to the jurisdiction of Shenzhou.

But Fu Yuan was suspected of causing trouble by doing so. His restoration of Yuelong Realm may lead the war to the western border of Shenzhou. In the future, both Hexi and Yuelong Realm will become troublesome places with frequent wars.

Will this lead to the Sect of the Five Sacred Mountains severely punishing Fu Yuan?
Fu Yuan himself didn't think so. He knew that there was a legacy of the Sect of the Five Sacred Sacred Sect, and the power of this legacy was closely related to the strength of the aura in Qinghe Divine Continent.

Fu Yuan relied on his own power to extinguish the fire and burn the sea. This is the merit of rebuilding the fertile soil of Shenzhou. It can restore the infinite power of the ancient times to the township legacy, and enhance the overall strength of the Five Sacred Sect in one fell swoop.

Under the threat of such strength, the deer slaughterer will automatically extinguish the idea of ​​launching a large-scale conquest, and instead consider how to prevent the Wuyue Shangzong from launching external expansion.

Fu Yuan felt that his unworldly meritorious service would make the Emperor of the Five Sacred Mountains give up punishing him for causing trouble and instead praise him, which is the real reason why he dared to use the fire to burn the sea.

However, Fu Yuan did not disclose these overall considerations to his disciples. He just briefly mentioned that the Daxi court may push the Yuelong Realm to the Dapan Kingdom, but the Five Sacred Sect may bring the Yuelong Realm under its command. How exactly? Disposal will be discussed separately after the fire is completely extinguished.

King Yuelong is just a small person, and Fu Yuan has given enough face by being willing to meet her, but it doesn't really matter what she has in mind, she can't influence the future direction of Yuelong realm at all.

Fu Yuan chatted a few words about Yuelong Realm, and then he talked about Fuyao Pagoda. This is why he summoned Fang Dushu and He Tiezhang today: "I have been to that Jie Pagoda once, and the tower is now Part of the terrain in the map has been drawn as a spiritual map, which you can carry with you in case of emergency.”

After speaking, he threw out two storage bags and gave them to Fang Dushu and He Tieshang respectively.

"In addition to the spiritual map, there is also a life-saving lotus. If you encounter a crisis in the tower, you can use the imperial sign to attack the enemy to ensure safety."

After Fu Yuan gave the treasure, he finally told: "The Fuyao Pagoda is located in the waters where the three rivers meet. That land does not belong to the territory of our Five Sacred Sect. The Three Mountains Sages will send disciples to participate. The demon cultivators of the Qing Realm will also go into the tower to search for treasures, and there are all kinds of strange ways, so you should be more careful."

Fang Dushu had heard of the Goushuang Immortal Cultivator Realm, which was a different cultivator who lived on the west side of the snow-covered glacier. They were more famous in Qinghe Divine Continent than the Gouye people.

This is because the Gouye people were rented by Tianxian, and every time they launched an expedition, they could only go as far as Hexi at most, and had little contact with the monks of Shenzhou.

The Moshuang people are different. Their ancestral homeland is also in the west of Shenzhou, but it directly borders the Daxi court, but they are not as belligerent as the deer butchers. He is an expert in business, and he specializes in opening up a business route leading to the Great Xi Kingdom. He only talks about business and does not fight wars.

As for the world of Huifeng cultivating immortals, their habitat is located in the Shiwanling Mountain in the south of Shenzhou.

Fang Dushu asked: "The demon cultivators of Evergreen Realm will also go to Fuyao Tower to explore. Is there a boundary entrance nearby?"

He Tieshang explained to him: "The Fuyao Pagoda is the only boundary tower that runs through the Evergreen Realm and the Qinghe Divine Continent. , the name of its tower is 'Fuyao', which also has the meaning of going straight up across borders!"

Fang Dushu looked surprised: "It turns out that it can cross the two worlds, so it is not an exaggeration to call it Tongtian Tower."

Fu Yuan heard the word Tongtian, and said to him: "There is a Tongtian Temple in the pagoda, after you enter the pagoda, don't forget to take a look! Well, you go back and prepare, when you leave, you don't have to say goodbye !"

After speaking, he stood up and turned to the inner hall.

Fang Dushu was still reminiscing about Fu Yuan's words: "Third senior brother, why did the master let me go to Tongtian Temple? Is there anything special about that pagoda hall?"

He Tieshang said: "Master knows that you have obtained the Jade Immortal Demon Chain, so you should have the opportunity to obtain the inheritance in Tongtian Temple."

Fang Dushu once showed He Tieshang the Devil's Chain of Jade Immortals, and He Tieshang reported to Fu Yuan.

Fang Dushu wondered: "Could it be that the Zhuxian magic chain is related to Tongtian Temple?"

He Tieshang revealed: "I told you before that the many restrictions and secret palaces in the Fuyao Pagoda basically come from the four holy guards of Shengpeng who went to court. The dojo that was opened up!"

So far, the four holy guards that Fang Dushu has learned include the dancing skylark and the star-leaved turtle. Now that He Tieshang has mentioned Tongtianlong again, who is the remaining holy guard?

He immediately asked out the confusion.

As a result, He Tieshang's understanding was limited: "I only know that it is a moon tiger, but what kind of blood it is, what magical powers it has, and what treasures it left behind in the Fuyao Tower, there is no record in the Shangzong's collection."

"No records? How is this possible?"

"Since Fuyao Pagoda appeared in the world, monks have broken into Tongtian Demon Dragon Mansion, Wuyun Suzaku Mansion, and Xingliao Holy Turtle Mansion. Even if they haven't thoroughly explored their mansions, they can learn more or less their details. Only Yuehu Cave Mansion has not been opened yet."

"Then we have to wait until we enter the Fuyao Tower, and then explore slowly."

The two chatted here, and they had already walked out of the Yizheng Hall side by side, and first met King Yuelong, and rushed back to Fengming Mansion together.

After seeing the survivors of Yuelong in the mansion, King Yuelong didn't say anything, she just took out a dharma plate, collected the true blood of all the survivors, and then said goodbye and left. She never spoke to the survivors alone.

It is also because most of these remnants are ordinary people, and there are only a dozen or so monks, and most of them are young disciples in the Qi training period. Even Yao Xi'er, who has relatively excellent aptitude, has not succeeded in building a foundation after 30 years of hard work.

It is reasonable for King Yuelong not to want to have too much contact with them.

Perhaps King Yuelong's attitude would be better if he found the descendants of the family after he tested the origin of the true blood, but that was after the Fuyao Puja.

On this day, King Yuelong was sent away, Fang Dushu rested for another three days, and the time for the long journey finally came.

Going to the Fuyao Pagoda to participate in the meeting is unpredictable, and Fang Dushu doesn't know when he will be able to return, so the Fengming Mansion group of cultivators proposed to see him off, but he did not refuse. city.
