Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 532 Return to Hexi
After leaving the East China Sea, Fang Dushu and his party entered the Qinghe River and began to pass through the water gate.

When passing by the main altar of Zhongmiao Palace, Fang Dushu asked the Fengsi Miao Master who was traveling with him about the news about Master You Jue.

As a result, Master Fengsi told me that Master You Jue had not contacted the main altar for many years. He only knew that she was still living in Dafu You Temple in Nantian Buddhist Kingdom. As for her current situation, no one knew for the time being.

Originally, Master You Jue would regularly send letters to Master Zhuge of Xiaoyin Palace. However, decades ago, after Master Zhuge's garrison duty at Yuelong Pass ended, he became concerned about his Taoist companion Master You Jue and his only son You Abandon, so he became alone. Rushed to Nantian Buddhist Kingdom.

Since then, the family of three has lost contact with Wuyue Palace.

Before Fang Dushu went to Ba Mie Quan for retreat, he entrusted Master Zhuge to help inquire about the portal shortcut in Dapudu Temple. So far, he has not received a reply. After Master Zhuge left, there was even more no news.

Everyone didn't know what Fang Dushu was thinking, so they only thought that Fang Dushu had an old relationship with Master You Jue, so they asked Master Fengsi to inquire about the current situation.

Only Qi Chang really understood what Fang Dushu meant.

She gave some advice in private: "Three decades have passed since the last time Fuyao Tower was opened. Even if Master Zhuge and Master You Xian don't send a message back, they will be able to enter Fuyao Tower again in another 60 years. Don't worry, Ashu. The year flies by and it’s here soon.”

In the past, after Fang Dushu left Xiankun Pond, he escaped directly into Fuyao Cave and lived in the cave for 50 years. After returning to Hexi, he began to prepare for the birth of a baby. This period lasted ten years, which is a period of sixty years.

After giving birth to a baby, he only traveled in the Kuntian Immortal Realm for a few years, and then settled in Ba Mie Quan and stayed in seclusion for two months.

That adds up to exactly three jiazi.

The Fuyao Tower opens every four weeks, and the next opening is very close. So as Qi Changzhen said, even if Master Zhuge and Master You Xian didn't find out about the shortcut, Fang Dushu would be able to enter the tower soon.

He immediately put the matter behind him and considered his trip to Hexi.

Since this trip was under the order of the Five Sacred Masters Association, the journey was smooth and we arrived at Hexi Owaki Castle on the same day.

The scenery in the city has not changed much, except that the former Dapan Palace has now become the Beiting Palace. In the past hundred years, Beiting King Chu Yindu led the Chu family to live in this palace.

The former Lishan Taoist Temple is now the private Taoist temple of Master Chu.

When Fang Dushu and others entered Dabancheng, Beiting King Chuyin and Beiting Princess Li Chengwan came out to greet them personally.

The couple were princes consecrated by the Great Xi court and had little contact with the True Traitors of Wuyue Palace. During the Battle of Longmen Pass, the five True Traitors, including Shi Liufang and Longhe Yinshi, all stayed in seclusion in the main altar and did not participate in the war. Only Fang Du Shu accidentally ran into the battlefield, so he received the warmest hospitality from Chu Yin and Li Chengwan.

After the two sides met, Fang Dushu was also regarded as the leader, and was always accompanied by Chu Yin and Li Chengwan. Shi Liufang, Long Heyinshi and others were not left out in the cold, and there were princes and brothers in Beiting Mansion to greet them.

A group of people entered the palace and held a banquet. While reminiscing about old times, they discussed the Wolfsbane rebellion and the robbery of the six-pointed tree.

"In the past, when we left Longmen Pass, Junior Brother Fang moved to Wuyue Palace early. When the war ended and I withdrew to Hexi, I would never see Junior Brother Fang again. During this period, you never returned to your hometown to visit. I miss you to this day. What a pity!”

Chu Yin's emotion was not polite. He was sincerely grateful to Fang Dushu for his outstanding military exploits at Longmen Pass. If Fang Dushu hadn't burst into the battlefield and snatched back the Fire Dragon Star Dou, Longmen Pass would have been broken long ago, and the Chu family's children would have been defeated. There will be heavy casualties, and there will be no chance to recuperate.

When the war was over, Chu Yin always hoped to see Fang Dushu again to express his gratitude. However, after Fang Dushu moved to Xiaoyin Palace, he went directly to the East China Sea for retreat. Ba Miequan was a secret place of Xiaoyin Palace and was not allowed to Outsiders get involved and Chu Yin cannot visit.

Since he could not see Fang Dushu for a long time, Chu Yin wanted to return this information to the Fang family. He heard that all the disciples of Fengming Mansion and Zhenwen Mansion had moved to Xiagong Huichun Temple, so he made a special trip there. As a result, But he was dumbfounded. The Huichun Temple was empty. Where were the disciples from the two houses?
Chu Yin could not find out where exactly Fang Dushu placed the disciples of the two mansions. After a while, the matter faded away.

Chu Yin seemed particularly excited to meet Fang Dushu again today and chatted a lot: "Hexi is Junior Brother Fang's hometown after all. Why don't you want to come back even once?"

Fang Dushu said: "When I fought at Longmen Pass, I provoked several Kuntian gods. Those old guys all wanted to take revenge on me. If I return to Hexi, I will bring trouble to my colleagues in Hexi, including Wang Ye, I am afraid that I will also Being affected by the anger of those old guys.”

Chu Yin recalled a piece of news he heard from the monks of the Wolf Poison Division. Qingyun, the ultimate wedding dress worshiped by the Jingpeng Division for generations, was snatched away by Fang Dushu and then destroyed.

This incident made everyone in Jingpeng's tribe furious, and they vowed to kill Fang Dushu and avenge his family's righteousness. Destroying Qingyun was equivalent to killing other people's righteousness, and the hatred was deep.

Look at those Wolfsbane monks again, why did they surrender to the Divine Continent?On the surface, they said they were oppressed and bullied by the other seven tribes of Kuntian, but in fact, their surrender letter specifically stated that Fang Dushu must be allowed to relieve their sword wounds.

This is extremely strange. Although Chu Yin has not yet figured out the situation of the sword injury, he can see that the sword injury was the main reason for the surrender of the Wolfsbane monks.

Fortunately, Fang Dushu moved to the Xiaoyin Palace to live in seclusion and asked all his relatives and friends to hide. As a result, the Wolfsbane monks could never find anyone, could not retaliate, and could not heal their injuries. In the end, in order to survive, they had to surrender. In exchange for Fang Dushu's treatment.

If Fang Dushu stays in Hexi, will the Wolfsbane monks surrender easily?They would probably use all their strength to attack Hexi. They would only consider surrendering unless they could not suppress Fang Dushu.

Looking at it this way, Fang Dushu moved to Xiaoyin Palace, which was beneficial to all the monks in Hexi and avoided many wars.

Chu Yin understood this, but said: "Who does Junior Brother Fang take me to be? Will I be afraid of monk Kuntian's revenge? Junior Brother Fang fought bloody battles at Longmen Pass and came forward to protect me in Beiting. Everyone in Beiting will be united." , stop the Kuntian cultivator’s harassment for Junior Brother Fang, it doesn’t matter even if you stay in Hexi!”

These are polite words from an old bureaucrat and should not be taken seriously.

Fang Dushu said with a smile: "Your Majesty has your heart, and I know your good intentions! But if it can reduce the war, why increase troubles, is that right, Your Majesty?"

Chu Yin nodded: "That's the truth! But since you have returned to Hexi this time, you must stay for a few more days and let me make up for your kindness in helping the battle at Longmen Pass!"

"The support to Longmen Pass is based on the order of the Five Sacred Mountains Palace, and it is also for the sake of the overall safety of Shenzhou. The prince does not need to take it to heart." Fang Dushu said politely first, and then asked:
"Is Uncle Chu not in the city? When I came earlier, I passed through Yuelong Pass first, and Uncle Shi was not in the pass either. According to the disciples guarding the pass, Uncle Shi came to Hexi."

Master Chu often lives in Hexi.

Shi Geng replaced Master Zhuge and stationed at Yuelong Pass.

On a daily basis, there were only two of their masters in the divine transformation stage in the western border of Shenzhou.

However, several masters have recently visited me.

Chu Yin said: "It is estimated that half a day ago, Wuyue Palace sent several masters to deal with the matter of Liumang Tree. They also passed through Yuelong Pass first. Uncle Shi picked them up, but did not visit Dabancheng. We went directly to Tianjue Mountain!"

"Tianjue Mountain?" "This mountain is located at the junction of Hexi and Tianjuemo! After Junior Brother Fang moved to Xiaoyin Palace, the monks from Hexi and Yuelong began to move mountains and rocks to build around the Kunyun God Forbidden City. A mountain range, because the mountain range is adjacent to the former Tianjue Desert, is named Tianjue Mountain!"

"So, Uncle Shi and several masters all rushed to Tianjue Mountain?"

"That's right! When this mountain was built, Master Chu moved the dojo there to guard the Kunyun Divine Forbidden City. Uncle Shi and several masters also went to Tianjue Mountain to meet up with Master Chu to discuss the six-pointed tree. thing."

"Where are those Wolfsbane monks?"

"They only sent a group of representatives to settle in Tianjue Mountain. The people of this clan are hiding in the Jiuquan Snowfield. The two parties have agreed that after Junior Brother Fang arrives and heals all the sword wounds of the monks in their clan, they will hand over The six-pointed tree came out and the whole clan surrendered."

These words were originally spoken by Chu Yin to Fang Dushu alone.

But regarding this mission, it instantly attracted the attention of Shi Liufang and Master Long He.

The banquet in the main hall was divided into two rows, and everyone sat opposite each other, not far apart. When Chu Yin mentioned the six-pointed tree, Shi Liufang and others immediately stopped talking and turned their attention to Chu Yin.

Just listen to Shi Liufang ask: "Treat the injury first before handing over the tree? If Junior Brother Fang treats their injuries, but they go back on their promise and flee back to the Eight Divisions of Kuntian with the six-pointed tree, wouldn't it be a fight?"

Chu Yin said: "The six-pointed tree cannot be taken away by the Deer Slayer again. When the Wolf Poison Tribe returned, in order to show their sincerity, they took the six-pointed tree directly to Tianjue Mountain and placed it in Master Chu's dojo. Master Chu will arrange a blockade to prevent the six-pointed tree from being lost later!"

"what?"

There was a soft cry in the hall, and everyone felt that the behavior of the Wolfsbane monks was too radical and risky.

Master Longhe said puzzledly: "The six-pointed tree is fixed in Master Chu's dojo. Isn't this equivalent to handing over this tree to us?"

Chu Yin shook his head: "The monks of the Wolfsbane Department first brought the six-pointed tree before they could win our trust, but they were also on guard and worried that we wouldn't treat their sword wounds, so they asked a Wolfsbane God to sneak into the six-pointed tree. In the awn tree, a martyrdom restriction is arranged around the tree. When the sword wound is healed, when will the god come out of the tree!"

If the sword wound cannot be healed, the six-pointed tree will not be lost, but there is always a risk of being destroyed.

Master Chu and Master Shi were the first to have contact with the Wolfsbane monks, and they had already figured out the truth. The Wolfsbane monks really wanted to surrender, and their approach was all-or-nothing. They were ready to die together.

As long as the Wuyue Palace treats their injuries in a good manner, they will hand over the six-pointed tree honestly.

If Wuyue Palace cheated, they would have betrayed the Kuntian Immortal Realm anyway and would have no way out. The Liumang Tree would be destroyed and no one would be able to get any benefits.

When Chu Yin told the inside story, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at Fang Dushu.

The core of the entire surrender incident lies solely with Fang Dushu. Whether the monks from the Wolfsbane Division can surrender and whether the Six-Gang Tree can be obtained all depends on Fang Dushu's words.

Shi Liufang couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Junior Brother Fang, what kind of sword wounds did you inflict on those Wolfsbane monks? Even the monks in the transformation stage were helpless?"

Fang Dushu did not answer. He only said: "My sword wound is not that important. This may be just a cover! Everyone, you should keep your eyes open and be on guard. Maybe those Wolfsbane monks are plotting to surrender." This is an excuse to occupy the new cave in Tianjue Desert!"

He deliberately changed the subject so that everyone would ignore the sword wound.

Everyone was really confused. Did the Wolfsbane monks have any other plots?

Chu Yin followed Fang Dushu's words: "Junior Brother Fang's worries are not unreasonable! Master Chu and Uncle Shi believe that the monks of the Wolfsbane Tribe are really going to surrender. After all, they rebelled against the Eight Tribes of Kuntian and stole the Liumang Tree privately. , but they chose to place the six-pointed tree next to the cave sky, which is a bit intriguing!"

He scanned the crowd and said: "Master Chu and Uncle Shi agreed that it was true that they surrendered, that they paid tribute to the six-pointed tree, and that they healed sword wounds. However, when the deal between the two parties is reached, they may rob the tree." The sealed Kun Scale touches the cave sky! This time Wuyue Palace sent several masters to Hexi just to prevent this hidden danger!"

But whether the hidden danger can be prevented depends on how the two sides compete.

Fang Dushu finally asked: "When will I need to come forward and go to Tianjue Mountain to treat the sword wound?"

"Don't worry about this!"

Chu Yin waved his hand and smiled at Fang Dushu: "Uncle Shi just led a few masters over. They are going to assess the situation. When Junior Brother Fang needs your help, I will notify you at that time! You are here first." If you don’t get used to living in the palace, Fengming Mansion will still be reserved for you. You can also go home and live there!”

"Thank you, my lord, for completeness."

Fang Dushu clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to stay at Fengming Mansion. I haven't been back for many years and I need to entertain old friends!"

After the banquet was over, Shi Liufang and others stayed at the palace dojo.

Fang Dushu and Qi Changzhen returned to Fengming Mansion together. As soon as they entered the mansion, Patriarch Feixia received the news and came to visit.

Feixia Mansion and Fengming Mansion live next to each other. Grandmaster Feixia is the closest and the fastest to arrive. When they met, she first sighed: "Grandma Sunflower passed away more than ten years ago. Before she passed away, she mentioned you, Junior Brother Fang, many times." , saying that not being able to see you again is the biggest regret in her life."

Patriarch Feixia used to call Fang Dushu Xiaofang. When she came in, she found that Fang Dushu had advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. She immediately changed her name to Junior Brother Fang and did not dare to continue to support him.

When Fang Dushu heard that Granny Sunflower passed away, he also sighed: "I met Granny Sunflower at Longmen Pass, but I didn't expect that we would see each other forever."

Granny Kuihua was the oldest monk in Hexi. She spent all her life more than ten years ago and her cultivation was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and she passed away.

Qi Daoming is also nearly nine hundred years old. If he cannot break through the divine transformation stage within a hundred years, he will follow in the footsteps of Granny Sunflower.

In fact, the age of the Yuanying Patriarchs of the original Hexi Three Kingdoms is basically approaching a thousand years old. If nothing happens, they will all be dead in the next two to three hundred years.

Before her death, Granny Sunflower not only missed Fang Dushu, but also Qi Daoming. She hoped that these two fellow villagers could come back to visit, and fantasized about being given a few Yuehua Pills to extend her life. That was all she missed.
