Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 385 The Hedong Family
Lishui River.

An iron armored French ship was sailing out of the east gate of Dapanhuang City, slowly heading towards the sea of ​​fire.

There were more than a dozen Hexi monks standing on the deck, all of them were participants going to the Fuyao Pagoda. They will take the Dharma boat together and sail to Qinghe Divine Continent by water.

Just now they bid farewell to their colleagues, relatives and friends, there are still hundreds of figures gathered at the gate of the city, those are seeing off people, walking along both sides of the river, intending to continue to escort the Dharma boat for a journey.

When the Dharma boat sailed more than ten miles away from the city gate, the seeing-off crowd stopped, and Fang Dushu was the last one to fly away from the shore and landed on the plywood.

When he looked back at the river bank, Qi Changzhen had squeezed out of the crowd and was silently waving at him. The parting words had been finished when the two of them were whispering just now, and now only worry appeared on Qi Changzhen's face.

Fang Dushu stared intently, without moving for a long time.

At this time, an untimely voice sounded behind him: "Since King Fengming misses his wife so much, why does he have to travel far away to Fuyao Tower to join in the fun? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the gentle village of the palace?"

The speaker was Patriarch Sen Chen of Qingye Mansion. He was thin and his eyes were like hooks. He gave off a strong impression, and his tone was full of ridicule and a little mocking.

Fang Dushu didn't take it seriously, and chuckled lightly: "The so-called Xiaobie is better than a newlywed. After returning from Fuyao Tower, the gentle village will be sweeter, and getting along day and night will lose the freshness, which is not beautiful."

"Hey, what kind of fallacy is this?" Patriarch Sen Chen sneered: "If the husband and wife agree with each other, it will only be like glue, if there is alienation, it must not be true."

"Fellow Daoist Mori's words are a little ignorant of the fireworks in the world." The sunflower mother-in-law on the side continued: "But every couple is trivial, how can they always be glued to each other? Fellow Daoist Sen has lived for hundreds of years. Do you think you have never studied the way of husband and wife?"

Patriarch Sen Chen's practice of Taoism is a bit special, he can't get close to women, he doesn't know what it's like to be a husband and wife, and he has no interest in it. In his eyes, there are only monks, and there is no difference between men and women.

"Fellow Sunflower's words are very true!" Patriarch Sen Chen said: "This old man is a monk who practiced painstakingly, and he has long forgotten the mortal world."

Grandma Sunflower was the only Nascent Soul mid-stage monk on board, he couldn't afford to offend her, so she simply didn't argue.

Beside him stood He Tiezhang, the leader of the Dharma boat, the founder of Kurong Mansion Mukun, and the boatman King Yuelong, all of whom were monks in the early Yuanying period.

The remaining twelve Jindanqi elders who participated in the meeting had already turned back to the cabin and went to concentrate on steering the boat. They couldn't get in the conversation, and they didn't dare to disturb the chatting of the few patriarchs.

When Patriarch Sen Chen was talking with Granny Sunflower, he would occasionally glance at King Yuelong from the corner of his eye. This was a strange face with a rather mysterious identity. When everyone greeted each other when they boarded the boat, she only reported a name of 'Yao Jili'. The name, and the rest are all silent.

In recent years, Di Honglin, the chief disciple of the lord, has been ordered to go to Qinghe Shenzhou to recruit casual cultivators. Most of the monks who come here are Jindan stage monks. Yao Jili, a Nascent Soul master, is the first to visit Hexi.

After a few more years, when the sea of ​​fire is completely extinguished, and the traffic between the two places is unblocked, there will surely be more Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators defecting to the Dapan court.

Patriarch Sen Chen and Granny Sunflower thought so, the Dharma boat has sailed through the green mountains and green waters, and officially entered the vast sea of ​​fire.

In the past, the sea was full of flames, and there was no road at all.

Now a wide river channel has been opened up in the sea, like a blue dragon, meandering through the surface.

When the river was rushing, the water waves kept scouring the river, and the fires on both sides of the river had been submerged for tens of miles. The cold mist condensed by the water waves was still spreading towards the fire area farther away. Where the mist passed, the flames would automatically hide and slowly emerge. The earth is true.

This spectacular scene caused several Nascent Soul monks to sigh: "Your Majesty's supernatural powers are so powerful that he has the power to recreate the world. It won't be long before the former Yuelong's prosperity will see the light of day again."

Yuelong King Yao Jili came to Hexi, and took the river teleportation array, it was the first time for her to go deep into the sea of ​​fire by herself when she sailed today, and she was also very shocked to see the Lishui River sweeping by the reflow.

"In the past, the Lishui River flowed around the Yuelong Realm. After the outbreak of the war, the river was buried underground. Now that the river has moved out, has the flow direction changed?"

When Yao Jili asked, she looked at He Tieshang.

He Tiezhang smiled and said: "It has not been changed, the Lishui River still flows around the moon."

If you look down from a high altitude, the shape of Lishui River is actually a giant "ji".

The inside of the word 'several' is Yuelong Realm.

To the north of the word "ji" is the Beiting territory, and to the west is the Hexi territory. After the river in the lower left corner enters Hexi, it is divided into three tributaries: Lishui, Qishui and Qishui.

To the east of the word "ji" is the river border, and the lower right corner is connected to the majestic Qinghe that crosses Shenzhou.

It is at the south of the word 'ji' that the Qing River diverges, and the Fuyao Pagoda is also at that location.

From a geographical point of view, the Yuelong Realm is the extreme western border of Qinghe Shenzhou, and the Yuelong Realm goes east, which is the prosperous and fertile soil of Shenzhou.

Patriarch Sen Shen and Granny Sunflower have lived in Hexi for hundreds of years, and they have visited Shenzhou only a handful of times. Every time they go there, they just travel around the River East and return to their hometown hastily.

They knew that He Tiezhang and Yao Jili had a lot of history, so they began to inquire about the situation in Shenzhou.

However, what He Tiezhang and Yao Jili said were all introductions to the customs in Shenzhou. Once the secrets of the Daxi court and the Five Sacred Emperors were involved, neither of them mentioned a word.

In recent years, Fang Dushu has often met with He Tieshang, and he has heard about the customs of Shenzhou many times, but he found it boring, so he turned back to the cabin.

The entire Dharma boat is made of refined iron, which can not only resist the scorching flames, but also protect against the impact of river waves. The cabin space is also extremely spacious. A meditation room.

Fang Dushu came to his cabin, opened the restriction, sat cross-legged on the jade bed, took out the storage bag bestowed by the lord Fu Yuan, and checked it.

When he went to the audience that day, Fu Yuan gave Fang Dushu and He Tieshang each a pair of Fuyao Tower maps and a life-saving lottery, but Fang Dushu's storage bag contained more than these two treasures.

In addition to the map and the magic lottery, there are four golden elixir-level true treasures. Fang Dushu took them in his hand and looked at them one by one. These are four miniature bats, bears, turtles, and dragons.

They are lifelike in shape, and although they are only the size of a finger, they contain power no less than that of Dao ropes.

The four treasures are all Fu Yuan's operation of "Rejuvenation Taoism", which was specially condensed for Fang Dushu.

The "Rejuvenation Taoist Code" has already given birth to the spirit of the law, and the true treasures condensed in the Taoist Code, all the supernatural powers can keep pace with the Taoist rope.

30 years ago, when Dushu was in retreat, Fu Yuan once asked him if he wanted to study the true method of Taoism. He said that he should follow He Tiezhang's suggestion and practice the Xingmingding method first, so as to prepare for the expedition to the Fuyao Tower.

Fu Yuan knew that Fang Dushu had been comprehending the Xingming Cauldron for half a year, and had no time to practice the "Rejuvenation Taoism", so he personally took action to condense the four kinds of bats, bears, turtles, and Jiaos for Fang Dushu. precious.

Fang Dushu didn't lie to Fu Yuan either, he raised his cultivation level to the mid-Golden Core these years, in addition to taking Liangyi Pill, he also had the credit of Xingmingdingding.

The body of the tripod was almost broken, and a tripod ear was missing.

But before he retreated, he happened to meet Xiaoying returning, and sent back the lost tripod ears. After he made up the tripod ears, he let the Qingpeng bird stay in the tripod.

After Banjiazi's restoration, the Xingmingding Ding has been restored to its original state.

According to the Ding method, Fang Dushu refined a star-cloaked spirit guard. When he and Fu Yuqing fell into the Evergreen Realm, Fu Yuqing once refined a star-clothed spirit eagle. With the power, the puppet can continue to heal, which is a real treasure of excellent body protection.

This time Fang Dushu went to explore the Fuyao Tower, the Xingming Ding will be his strongest support, followed by his Liangyimen, plus a few real treasures, it is enough for him to deal with most emergencies up.

The only regret is that he has not yet completed the fusion of the Demon Spirit and the Xingming Ding.

Since he suppressed the demon spirits and used Xingming Ding's "spiritual prison" supernatural power to refine the demon spirit's mind, he put it aside.

Back then, Fu Yuqing once asserted that even if he found the method of fusion, he had to restore the body of Xingming Cauldron before attempting to integrate into the demon spirit.

Although he arranged for the Qingpeng bird to repair the tripod, the bird was lazy by nature. It took three days to fish and two days to dry the nets. It took nearly 30 years to restore the tripod body. This was just a few months ago.

Even if Fang Dushu finds the fusion method, he still doesn't have time to refine the cauldron.

This matter can only be put on hold until the end of the Fuyao Fa Conference.

For the next few days, Fang Dushu stayed in the cabin to worship the real treasure.

After he mastered the Four Treasures bestowed by Fu Yuan, the dharma boat had bypassed the Moon Dragon Realm, shuttled out of the burning sea, and formally crossed into the Qinghe Divine Continent.

On this day, the French boat left the sea of ​​flames and began to sail along the open river. On one side of the river, there were waves of fire, and on the other side was a vast plain.

All the monks on board had already reached the plywood and were looking at the scenery of the plain.

He Tiezhang pointed to the past and introduced to everyone: "These are all territories of the River East. In the past, when the Daxi Dynasty was founded, half of the princes and kings were born in Hedong, and the founding Emperor Xi was also from Hedong!"

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Yao Jili. The first king of Yuelong was actually a prominent family in the east of the river, and all of them moved to Yuelong. Unfortunately, the family was attacked by deer butchers. With the destruction of Yuelong, the Yao family was almost buried in the fire. nautical mile.

If it hadn't been for this catastrophe, the Yao family's strength would have been among the best in the Daxi dynasty.

It's a pity that everything has become a thing of the past.

Yao Jili was always reluctant to talk about her life experience, and she ignored He Tiezhang.

He Tiezhang continued: "Since ancient times, Hedong has been a treasure land of feng shui for outstanding people, and there have been endless cultivation geniuses. There are countless people who worshiped the Sect of the Five Sacred Mountains. Even in the Sanshan Sage School, there are their figures."

These words made Grandma Sunflower and the others slightly confused.

Fang Dushu also found it strange, and asked: "Senior brother, didn't you say that since the Daxi split into the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they have become old and dead and have no contact with each other. Accepting apprentices?"

He Tiezhang said: "The territory of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is equal, and the disciples cannot cross the border, but when the Sanshan Xianpai went south, many disciples in the sect were from Hedong. These disciples took root in the Southern Dynasty, but their ancestral home is all in Hedong! "

Grandma Sunflower and the others couldn't help laughing, and shouted, "If it's about ancestry, we Hexi monks are also from Shenzhou, and they all moved to Hexi from various places in Shenzhou."

This is not entirely true.

Because Patriarch Mu Kun of Kurong Mansion and Patriarch Sen Shen of Qingye Mansion moved from Tianjuemo, their ancestors had nothing to do with Qinghe Divine Continent.

Listening to the fellows talking about our ancestral home, the two patriarchs were very interested, and they were also vigilantly thinking, if they arrived at the Fuyao Tower, would those monks from the Five Sacred Mountains learn about our Gouye descendants, would they discriminate and reject us, and then plot black hands?
When the two of them were muttering to each other, a masculine male voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Are you comrades from Hexi? That must be a hero of the Dingding Dapan Kingdom!"

The voice paused for a moment, then let out a light surprise: "The King Yuelong is here?"

Strange to say, although the male voice echoed in everyone's ears, they couldn't see the source of the voice, they couldn't help getting nervous, thinking that they must have encountered a master with profound cultivation.

Fang Dushu looked at He Tieshang, but he saw He Tieshang shaking his head slightly, and he couldn't tell the identity of the male voice.

Yao Jili deserves to be a dignitary who owns the Yuelong King. She calmly said to everyone: "That is Wei Tianzhao of the Hedong Wei family. His mana has been cultivated to the late Yuanying stage. He is a monk of the same generation as Master Fu Yuan. He is far away from him. We should not be close, stop the boat first, and wait for him to show up."

He Tiezhang immediately commanded the French boat to stop on the river.

Then he introduced to Fang Dushu: "The king of Hedong is named Wei, they are the first family in Hedong, and they are very powerful in the court."

However, Fang Dushu could hardly feel jealous. After all, the power of the Daxi court was mainly in the hands of the Wuyue Shangzong, and the influence of the aristocratic family was no longer what it used to be.

Everyone waited for a while, and saw a magic light lotus platform appearing under the eastern skyline of the plain, and it moved to the sky above the river in a few blinks of an eye.

The lotus platform stopped at a position higher than the Dharma boat. A middle-aged monk in black robe looked down on the plywood and greeted Yao Jili first: "King Yuelong, the last time we met, It should be Jiaziqian, you just gave birth that year, and after a celebration was held in the imperial capital, you ran away without a trace, where have you been cultivating all these years?"

While sailing in the burning sea, Yao Jili was always dignified and upright, and she didn't speak much, but now she seemed to be a different person, squinting and smiling, and began to show her exquisite skills: "It's rare that Marquis Wei still remembers me, but he doesn't. How to practice is to go to the East China Sea for a stroll, intending to collect a batch of sea treasures and refine a treasure of the hand."

"Then have you mastered it?" The black-robed monk looked down at Yao Jili's graceful figure, "If there is something missing, I will not hesitate to help!"

"I've finished practicing!" Yao Jili smiled like a flower, "Thank you, Marquis Wei, for your kindness."

In his heart, he scolded the black-robed monk for his frivolous eyes, and the dignified late-stage monk for not being prudent.

The black-robed monk must be used to acting recklessly and never caring about outsiders' opinions. He stared at Yao Jili and chatted for a while, then turned his gaze to Sunflower Granny and the others, and asked, "Are there any direct disciples of Master Fu Yuan among you?"

He Tieshang didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried forward to reply: "He Tieshang, junior, is the third disciple in front of the master!"

He pointed to Fang Dushu again: "This is the fifth disciple in front of the family teacher, and his Taoist name is Fang Dushu!"

"Fang Dushu? Why does this name sound familiar?" The black-robed monk couldn't help looking to the left and right, and a young man beside him immediately listened to him: "Fang Dushu is the enlightened person of "Tao of Two Forms". He was accepted as a disciple by Master Fu Yuan."

The black-robed monk nodded slowly, then stretched out his hand suddenly, and extended an invitation to the dharma boat: "Old man Wei Tianzhao, this trip is to attend the Fuyao Ceremony, if you also want to attend the meeting, you can go to the lotus platform, and the old man will give you a ride! "
