Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 518: The Safe Way
Lishui River.

A rainbow bridge suddenly appeared on the rolling river, and the figures of Fang Dushu and Xiaopengnu also appeared at the bridge head.

On Fang Dushu's shoulders was the black cloud where Tianjiu Mingshi was hiding, and behind Xiaopeng Nu stood the blood slave Blood Swan. A group of four cultivators teleported out from the Evergreen Realm.

"This is the hinterland of Yuelong Realm where Li River flows through. A hundred miles to the west is Jiuqu Gorge. You will be home soon."

Fang Dushu has identified the direction of the river basin.

Not long ago, he activated the 'Pengcheng Ten Thousand Miles' in Kun Ruins. Although this magical power was able to escape the pursuit of the old monsters from the Great Underworld Demon Court and Kuntian Babu, after the teleportation, the ancient Pengcheng Formation was still stuck in Chang'an. Qingjie, and appeared again in the Great Underworld Demon Court.

The distance that the Ancient Pengcheng Formation travels each time is very far, but it cannot cross boundaries. In order not to be detected by the demon cultivator, Fang Dushu immediately ordered Xiaopeng Nu to transfer the Ancient Pengcheng Formation to the void of the interface barrier, and then Activate the Thunderbolt Sword Body's Hongqiao Teleport and return directly to your hometown across the border.

Long before the operation of 'Pengcheng Wanli', Fang Dushu had already pointed out the escape direction to Xiaopeng Nu. The last time he and Fu Yuqing teleported across the border from Kunxu, they appeared at Heitou Mountain at the northern end of Li Country. He assessed the direction. After that, Xiaopeng Nu was instructed to teleport eastward, and then cross the border after the teleportation was completed. It was very likely that she would reach Jiuqu Gorge directly.

The sky above the river where he was at the moment was a hundred miles away from the Jiuqu Gorge, but the direction he positioned Xiaopeng Nu was not wrong.

When he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and the rainbow bridge turned into a thunderbolt sword body and flew into his sleeve.

Then a spiritual boat was thrown out, ready to fall into the river and return to Jiuqu Gorge by water.

As a result, before he could take control of the boat, the blood swan fell from the sky, restored its original form as a goose demon, flew to the feet of him and Xiaopeng Nu, and expressed her loyalty: "I'm here to take the place of the king and His Highness!"

When Fang Dushu saw this, he immediately took back the spirit boat. He had not seen the blood swan transform into a demon body for a long time, so he had forgotten the origin of the blood swan's mount.

He couldn't help but smile, put his foot on the goose's back, and warned: "Just fly along the river. When you enter the Jiuqu Gorge, your disciples will come out to greet you."

"Young man, obey the order!" Blood Swan has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and his body is a bird demon. For him, the journey of a hundred miles can be reached in the blink of an eye, but this is his first time carrying Fang Dushu. Don't dare to escape too fast for fear of causing turbulence and poor service.

The Blood Swan deliberately slowed down and started galloping smoothly.

Xiaopeng Nu was thinking about the new cave in Jiuqu Gorge and had no time to pay attention to the Blood Swan's solicitude. She only looked to Fang Dushu to ask questions: "The child has not seen the mother so far. When I return home this time, the child will have to stay for a long time. Please stay with your mother well. Father, have you left a cave for your child in Jiuqu Gorge?"

She had never met Qi Changzhen, but she clearly defined her seniority, one mother and the next, and she screamed happily, but the seniority in her mouth was completely nonsense.

However, Fang Dushu knew that she had a naughty temperament and did not correct her.

At this time, we were getting closer and closer to home. Xiaopeng Nu looked around frequently, curious about the environment along both sides of the river.

Fang Dushu pointed to the mountains on the bank and said: "There are many caves in Jiuqu Gorge, you can choose at will! Both sides of the river gorge there are full of high mountains and dangerous peaks. The peaks are quite steep and the high cliffs are very dense. Peng'er, can you Put the Pengcheng Ancient Formation in the river gorge terrain?"

Xiaopengnu did not answer hastily. She asked: "How big is Jiuqu Gorge exactly? If it is wider than Kun Ruins and exceeds the coverage limit of Pengcheng Formation, there is nothing I can do!"

"The territory is far inferior to that of Kun Ruins. The entire river gorge only stretches for more than a hundred miles. The disciples who are currently living in the gorge, and all the caves combined, do not even occupy half of the gorge."

"With only such a small space, setting up the Pengcheng Formation is a piece of cake!"

"Don't talk too much! Our Xiashan Dojo is opened on both sides of the river, separated by the Lishui River. This river is more than ten miles wide. When you set up the formation, you must also take the river into consideration. When something unexpected happens in the future, if the dojo is attacked by a sneak attack, you must ensure that the Pengcheng Formation can take the dojo away at any time, can you do it?"

"Then I need to explore the terrain first, and then I can give my father a detailed answer after I try to move the Pengcheng Formation across the river."

"Well, when you arrive at Jiuqu Gorge, let your mother show you the terrain."

Jiuqu Gorge is located in the central hinterland of Yuelong Realm. It is also the current headquarters of Fengming Mansion and Zhenwen Mansion. When Dushu left three years ago, he moved all the disciples of the two mansions to Jiuqu Gorge.

Originally, Jiuqu Gorge was located in a dangerous place, relying on Yuelong Pass, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. With Master Zhuge watching over it, it was almost impossible to encounter an invasion.

But in this battle at Longmen Pass, Fang Dushu provoked a large number of opponents, including old monsters in the transformation stage. Even the impregnable Jiuqu Gorge had become less safe.

Fang Dushu needs to strengthen the defense of Jiuqu Gorge.

If Pengcheng Ancient Formation could be located in Jiuqu Gorge, it would be basically foolproof.

Even if you are attacked by the old monster who transforms into gods in the future, you don't have to worry about anything. You can just leave the formation and leave. You only need to use Pengcheng Ten Thousand Miles once to escape without a trace with the disciples of the two palaces, and your safety is extremely guaranteed.

However, there are too many secrets involved in the ancient formation of Pengcheng. First of all, the Great Underworld Demon Court must have verified that the Evergreen Lotus is hidden in the formation. Secondly, the pagoda bell of the Eight Divisions of Kuntian was taken away by the ancient formation.

These two Zhidao are closely related. Once the news spreads, Fang Dushu will not only have to defend against sneak attacks from enemies from outside, but also guard against internal attacks by Shenzhou monks.

Xiaopengnu didn't want to use her brain. She only wanted to return to Jiuqu Gorge and go to see Qi Changzhen. She didn't think deeply about the dangerous situation she would face in the future.

But Tianjiu Mingshi thought of everything. When he heard that Fang Dushu planned to set up the Pengcheng Ancient Formation in Jiuqu Gorge, he immediately guessed Fang Dushu's intention.

He couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Fang, even if you can rely on the Pengcheng Formation to block the revenge of the Deer Slayer and the Demon Cultivator, you used the Pengcheng Formation to exile the Buddha Bell. This news cannot be hidden at all. Sooner or later, it will reach the Five Sacred Palaces. When Master Wuyue comes to ask, have you considered how to explain it?"

His tone showed urgency, and this matter had nothing to do with him. He was very worried that Fang Dushu would eventually betray him to Wuyue Zhen Palace under pressure.

In fact, it's not surprising that he would think so. Where was the Pagoda Bell exiled to?Kun-Lai Island!How to find Kun Lai Island?The dark cloud he is hiding in is the clue!Fang Dushu might present him to Wuyue Palace in order to put an end to the matter.

Fang Dushu heard his worries and said frankly: "I will try my best to hide the news about the Pagoda Bell, but my ability is limited. If I really can't hide it and I have to reveal the clues about Kun Lai Island, then I will do it in advance." Fellow Daoist Jiu, you can lift the sword curse and free yourself. All you need to do is keep this black cloud and let me submit it to the Five Sacred Mountains Palace!"

He will not betray Master Tianjiu. On the contrary, he will heal Master Tianjiu's sword wounds, but Master Tianjiu must hand over the black cloud and give up the idea of ​​getting involved in the treasures of Kun-Lai Island in exchange for his own life.

Master Tianjiu Ming felt a little relieved after hearing this promise. As long as he could save his life, he could give up any treasure.

But he didn't understand Fang Dushu's approach.

He asked Fang Dushu in a heart-to-heart tone: "Fellow Daoist Fang, whether it is the Pengcheng Formation, the Pagoda Bell or this black cloud, they are all priceless secret treasures that are crucial to the world of immortality. Why do you have to return to your hometown? If you find a Hiding in a remote place, with your extraordinary qualifications, you can advance to become a god by yourself. When you have the power to transform into a god, you will monopolize the Pagoda Bell and the secret treasures of Kun-Lai Island. This is no more important than if you went to the Five Mountains Palace. Is it a good deal?"

What he meant was for Fang Dushu to live in seclusion, stay away from right and wrong, and avoid worldly affairs from now on, so that he could concentrate on practicing martial arts and fortune telling alone.

In his opinion, seclusion is the best strategy, while returning to his hometown is full of dangers.

Fang Dushu said: "Fellow Taoist Tianjiu thinks that the Pagoda Bell and Kun-Lai Island are priceless secret treasures, but they are insignificant to me, not even as good as a feather of Peng'er. I don't care at all!"

Xiaopeng Nu, who was browsing the scenery, heard this and suddenly turned around and gave a thumbs up to Tianjiu Mingshi: "My father's heroic spirit is unmatched by anyone in the world! Senior Gui, what you see in your eyes is The most precious treasures are all rubbish in the eyes of my father, he doesn’t take them seriously at all, so don’t think that my words are bragging!”

Xiaopeng Nu raised her chin and said proudly: "My father's enlightenment of "Two Yi Dao" and "Four Symbols Dao" are superior to all other ways. He will definitely be able to understand stronger Tao methods in the future. Senior Old Ghost, to be honest Let me tell you, my father is the greatest secret in the world of immortality. Instead of searching for Kun-Lai Island, it would be more economical for you to please my father!" Master Tianjiu was dumbfounded.

He had always thought that Xiaopeng Nu was a moody and unruly witch, but it was not until this moment that he saw that Xiaopeng Nu was careless on the surface, but in fact she was like a mirror in her heart and could see everything very clearly.

He had never figured it out before that Fang Dushu had not planted a demon-suppressing ban on Xiaopengnu. Xiaopengnu was an evergreen true roc and the top demon cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation, but Fang Dushu obeyed her and treated her like a father in return. It turns out that this is not without reason.

Xiaopeng Nu is not following an ordinary father, but a future supreme power.

But the stronger a person is, the more he should know how to avoid danger.

Based on the current situation that Fang Dushu is facing, Master Tianjiu still believes that seclusion is the best way to avoid danger.

But since Fang Dushu doesn't care about the Pagoda Bell and Kun-Lai Island, he can take the initiative to report the news to the Five Mountains Palace and use it as a bargaining chip to exchange for the Five Mountains Palace to resist the revenge from the Great Underworld Demon Court and the Eight Tribes of Kuntian. You can still ensure your own safety and security.

Thinking of this, Master Tianjiu said no more.

Fang Dushu was still thinking about his retreat in his heart. Although he claimed that he did not pay attention to the Pagoda Bell and Kun-Lai Island, if there was a chance to seize the treasure, he would definitely not take the initiative to let them go.

He needs to think of a comprehensive strategy that can not only guard against all attacks from the outside and the inside, but also control all the secrets.

But does this foolproof strategy exist?
With this idea in mind, he entered the waters of Jiuqu Gorge.

Just over ten miles into the gorge, I saw two light rainbows flying from the river bank, quickly surrounding them, shouting: "Where are the distinguished guests coming from, come to our Yuelong Jiuqu Gorge! Huh? Fellow Daoist Fang! You...you come from the Evergreen Realm came back?"

Fang Dushu looked around and found that the visitors turned out to be two acquaintances.

He signaled the blood swan to stop in mid-air, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Xiong and Grandma, how did you know that I went to the Evergreen Realm?"

Xiong Gang and Grandma Wu Du came from both sides of the river and surrounded them. There were cave buildings built on the peaks on the banks. The two settled their respective dojos here.

When he was at Longmen Pass, Fang Dushu met Li Danhui again. He learned from Li Danhui that after the expedition to Tielin Mountain three years ago, Xiong Gang and Grandma Wudu did not return to their hometown of Shenzhou, but stayed in Yuelong. environment, waiting for Fang Dushu to return.

The two of them were determined to follow Fang Dushu and stay in Yuelong Realm to serve. In order to show their sincerity, they asked Zhenwen Mansion and Fengming Mansion for instructions, and placed the dojo at the east entrance of Jiuqu Gorge to guard Dongfang for the two mansions. portal.

To the west of Jiuqu Gorge is Yuelong Xiongguan, which is guarded by Master Zhuge himself, so there is no need for two people to guard the gate.

Xiong Gang clasped his fists and replied: "Princess Danhui has just returned from Longmen Pass. It was she who informed you of the news that you defeated the Deer Slayer at Longmen Pass, but unfortunately entered the Evergreen Realm by mistake after the war!"

Li Danhui followed the orders of Master Ganchi and Master Fan Gai to return to Hexi to wait for news about Fang Dushu. Once he learned that Fang Dushu had returned, he had to notify the two masters immediately.

Fang Dushu asked: "Where is Princess Danhui? Where is she now?"

Grandma Wudu pointed to the west direction of the river and continued: "She has been back for half a day. She first returned to Dabancheng in Hexi Province to report the situation of the battle at Longmen Pass to Master Chu, and then settled in Fengming Mansion. She said she was waiting for news from you!"

"In that case, then I will return to Fengming Mansion!"

Fang Dushu gestured to the two of them: "Brother Xiong and Grandma, please come up too, let's go back home together!"

"Fellow Daoist Fang personally invited me, so there's no reason not to go!"

Xiong Gang and Grandma Wudu happily climbed onto the back of the blood swan. Both of them could see the blood swan's Nascent Soul cultivation, and they admired Fang Dushu's demon control skills, and he was able to subdue a Nascent Soul bird demon as a mount. , was about to inquire about the origin of the blood swan, when he suddenly discovered that the Xiaopeng girl beside him looked like a child, but her magic power was no weaker than that of the blood swan.

The two of them were more interested in Xiaopeng Nu: "This little Taoist friend is..."

When Xiaopeng Nu saw the two of them being respectful to Dushu, she also smiled: "My name is Xiaopeng, and I am the daughter of my father, the only daughter!"

"It turns out to be Fang Xian's niece, nice to meet you!"

Xiong Gang and Grandma Wudu immediately started chatting enthusiastically with Xiaopeng Nu. Until they returned to Fengming Mansion Dojo, they didn't even bother to talk to the blood swan.

The two of them were really curious. Fang Dushu's daughter had advanced to Nascent Soul. This was not in line with common sense.

Not only the two of them had doubts, but when Fang Dushu rushed back to Fengming Mansion, Li Danhui was indeed still a guest at the house. When Qi Changzhen and Master Xuanjin accompanied Li Danhui out of the mansion and greeted Fang Dushu together, they both complimented Qi Changzhen: "Fellow Daoist Qi, my concubine has already reached the Nascent Soul stage at a young age. She is probably unparalleled in the world of immortal cultivation!"

The two thought that Qi Chang really knew the origin of their daughter, but Qi Chang was really confused. What was going on?
Before Qi Changzhen could recover, Xiaopeng's daughter had already knelt down and said, "My child, please see your mother!"

This child didn't care about the opinions of outsiders at all, and she didn't care about how many monks from the two houses were gathered there. She just bowed down and bowed, leaving Qi Chang at a loss.

Fang Dushu grabbed Xiaopeng Nu and signaled everyone to return to the house first, and then slowly introduced Xiaopeng Nu's identity.

At this time, Li Danhui saw that Fang Dushu had returned, so he sent a message to Dabancheng and Yuelong Pass respectively, notifying Master Chu and Master Zhuge.

Originally, Li Danhui was just giving a general notice, but he did not expect that Master Chu and Master Zhuge would immediately set off for Fengming Mansion as soon as they received the message.

Fang Dushu was introducing Xiaopeng Nu's situation at his house. Master Chu and Master Zhuge suddenly came together, interrupted everyone's conversation, and called Fang Dushu to the secret room alone.

"Master Nephew Fang, did you suppress the Six-Gang Spirit Girl?"

This is the issue that Master Chu and Master Zhuge are most concerned about.

"It was indeed suppressed by me."

Fang Dushu was a little confused and asked: "Has this woman ever offended two junior uncles?"

"Offended? Her sin is huge!"

Master Chu said with a gloomy look on his face: "Three years ago, she led the Gouye Six Kingdoms to evacuate Tianjuemo, and moved her entire family to Kuntian. Before leaving, she used Kunlin to take away the Liumang Cave Heaven, causing The sky is disappearing, the sea water is flowing from west to east, and it is almost approaching the Hexi border! Nephew Fang, please call this girl out quickly, I want to force her to find out the whereabouts of Kunlin!"

"Kun Lin?"

When Fang Dushu heard the word Kun Scale, he instantly remembered the Kun Scale he used when he was in the Immortal Kun Pond. This scale armor of his also sealed a cave, and it was a brand new ultimate cave.

However, Fang Dushu didn't know the method to release Dongtian, so Kunlin had been sealed in the storage bag, never having any use.
