Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 541 Two-pronged approach
Although Fang Dushu has never been to the three Wanxiang sects, these three sects are named after the Taoism he understood. It is not inappropriate to say that he is the founder of the sect.

However, he did not admit it directly. He only said: "I have been traveling for hundreds of years, and I have never returned to Qinghe, Vientiane. What are the mountain-holding Taoist methods of the three sects? I need to be confirmed by the sect before I can give you a conclusive answer, fellow Taoist!"

Yu Qiweng on the side was shocked when he heard that he did not deny it. He thought that this fellow Taoist Fang was actually the grand master of the three sects of Wanxiang?Everyone had a great time chatting with each other all the way, but I have never seen this fellow Daoist Fang reveal the slightest bit of relevant information?

Flower Master Yingrui did not question Fang Dushu's statement. Her apprentice Lan Yueya visited the three Wanxiang sects almost every year in an attempt to repay the kindness of donating glue in the past, but she never saw Fang Dushu again. According to the disciples of the three Wanxiang sects, It was revealed that Fang Dushu was indeed traveling far away.

She stopped delving into the identity of the founder of the sect and instead asked, "Fellow Daoist Fang's sudden return at this juncture must be to resist the invasion of the allied forces of the Three Kingdoms in Huajian, right?"

Fang Dushu nodded: "That's true."

He looked forward to look at Master Yingrui Hua. This female cultivator had a calm face and was beyond the ordinary. Her cultivation level had reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. It must have been the result of devout and hard training.

He then asked again: "When I came back, I passed by Yanhong Mountain. I remembered that I had a relationship with your disciple in the past, so I asked fellow Taoist Yu to guide me and stopped by for a visit. I dare to ask fellow Taoist Yingrui if your disciple is in the mountain?"

Yingrui Flower Master replied: "She must repay her kindness. When she learned that the three Wanxiang sects were in trouble, she took her own troops to support them."

Before tea-picking girl Lan Yueya left, she made a special trip to persuade Yingrui Flower Master to come out. However, Yingrui Flower Master has a special status and represents the attitude of the Five Grains Country. If she also reinforces the three factions, it is very likely that she will She did not agree to it if it caused war between the Five Grain Kingdom and the Flower Kingdom.

She did not mention this to Fang Dushu.

In fact, even if she mentioned it, Fang Dushu wouldn't have any objection.

Fang Dushu and her apprentice Lan Yueya only met once. Lan Yueya repaid her kindness, and Fang Dushu was already quite satisfied: "In the past, I just gave the disciple a bottle of spiritual glue. It was a small amount of affection, and it was not worth mentioning. , it is really rare for a disciple to be willing to help the three sects in times of crisis, and the three sects will definitely be grateful."

Master Yingrui smiled slightly when she heard the word "gratitude": "My disciple has reached the peak of the golden elixir stage sixty years ago, but has been unable to break through to the Nascent Soul. I once found a hundred-flower relic for her. I hope I can help her achieve enlightenment and form a baby, but the mystery of the bead is too deep, and she has never been able to fully understand it. I heard that fellow Taoist Fang is an unparalleled genius in enlightenment. Can you help her after the war?"

What she said was to test Fang Dushu's depth. She just asked Fang Dushu if he had personally understood the mountain-controlling Taoist methods of the three Wanxiang sects. It was also for this reason.

She has accumulated quite a lot of Hundred Flowers Relic Beads. She has already figured out all the Relic Beads that can be cracked. The rest are all obscure and difficult to understand. She is at her wits' end. Although she has asked many Taoist friends for advice, they all help. No matter how busy she was, seeing Fang Dushu this time rekindled her hope.

Ordinarily, it was the first time for everyone to meet, so it would not be appropriate to ask for help rashly. However, Fang Dushu mentioned his gratitude first, and the gardener Yingrui smoothly said this unkind request.

Fang Dushu had already learned from Yu Qiweng that Master Yingrui became an idiot after enlightenment. As soon as everyone met, Master Yingrui talked about the Hundred Flowers Lost Pearl, thinking that what Yu Qiweng said was indeed true.

He said: "I do have some enlightenment experiences, but I have never seen the Hundred Flowers Relic Bead. I have to observe the real thing to confirm whether I can decipher the secret inside the bead."

"It's easy!"

The flower master Yingrui then swung her sleeves and threw a spiritual object to Fang Dushu: "This rope-knotted bead is what I gave to my young disciple Jieying to use. However, she has been watching and reading it for many years, and she has not read it at all. Come out and keep it with me, Fellow Daoist Fang can try to have a look."

Fang Dushu took it in his hand and took a closer look, and his eyes could not help but reveal a strange light.

This rope-knotted bead looks like a pearl on the outside, but inside the bead is sealed a dense mass of white petals. These petals have no rules at all, like falling snowflakes or suspended stars, arranged chaotically in the space inside the bead.

When Fang Dushu first read it, he always subconsciously regarded the bead as a complete vessel of enlightenment, because each petal represented a true text.

As Fang Dushu took a closer look, he gradually understood that what was sealed in the bead was just an illusion, but this illusion was extremely mysterious. It was originally the ancient Baihua Fairy who personally realized the Tao and transformed the enlightenment process into an illusion.

This illusion contains two major benefits.

The first is that the illusion is illusory. Fairy Baihua only participated in the conception. She did not launch a substantive sacrifice to realize the Tao. Any monk who cracks the illusion can inherit Fairy Baihua's idea and take this Tao as his own. Heretics become our own way.

The second is the value of the bead. Once the illusion is cracked, the essence of the seal inside the bead will also be revealed. At that time, you only need to hold the bead and find a Daohe oven to convert the bead into a The complete vessel of enlightenment.

When Fang Dushu found out the details of the Baihua Bead, he was quite shocked. This kind of bead was simply a work of genius and could help monks save most of the steps of enlightenment.

As long as you find a lost pearl and decipher the mystery of the illusion, you can basically achieve a true method of your own way.

If placed in the Qinghe Shenzhou Cultivation World, this kind of relic would definitely become a treasure that various forces compete for. It is too convenient, too trouble-free, and makes enlightenment too easy.

However, Fang Dushu still had one doubt: what was the purpose of refining this kind of relic pearl?It is completely an act of selfless dedication by humiliating oneself and helping others.

Looking through all the worlds of immortality, monks who pursue immortality are doomed to be insulated from dedication. Who is not a selfish person?Self-interest is the normal state of human beings!
Just imagine that you have worked so hard to conceive of the ultimate path. Instead of incubating the method, you seal the idea and leave it to outsiders who are not relatives or friends to achieve enlightenment. Who can accept it?
But the existence of the Baihua Relic Pearl is uncharacteristic.

"What kind of life changes did the legendary Fairy of Flowers encounter during her lifetime? That created her generous spirit that was not self-interested but dedicated to benefiting others?"

Fang Dushu was puzzled.

Seeing that he was just meditating and not saying a word for a long time, Master Yingrui couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Fang, how is your reading? Can you discern the mystery of this bead?"

Fang Dushu calmed down and nodded towards the flower master Ying Rui. Then he held the bead with two fingers and waved it gently in front of the flower master Ying Rui. He saw that the petals that were originally chaotically distributed in the bead condensed together and formed a A white flower stamen in bud.

"The secret of the illusion is not difficult to decipher!" Fang Dushu handed the bead back to Master Yingrui and said again:
"The formation of flowers in the relic bead means that enlightenment is complete. Now, any monk holding the relic bead can see the full picture of enlightenment through the flowers. He only needs to take the relic bead to be sacrificed in the oven, and it can transform into a Enlightenment!"

"Fellow Daoist Fang only looked at it for a moment, and he actually understood the secret of the relic?" Master Yingrui said in disbelief:
"There is a huge difference between the Taoism of the three Wanxiang sects and the world of Jianhua Immortal Cultivation, and the form of the true text is even more different. Fellow Daoist Fang should not have studied the true text of Jianhua deeply. Even if you have unparalleled talent, you shouldn't be able to crack it so fast!"

"Although the actual text is different, the essence is the same!" Fang Dushu pointed to his eyes:
"When I read the true text, I never look at the form or understand its meaning, but only perceive the natural principles contained in the true text. Therefore, no matter how the true text changes, in front of my eyes, their original essence of Taoism will be revealed! "

This statement is a bit pretentious.

Yu Qiweng felt dizzy after hearing this.

Yingrui Flower Master also showed confusion, but she did not break the casserole and ask the truth, because she knew that the talent for enlightenment was innate, it was born with it, if you don't have it, you don't have it, and you can't force it.

She immediately took out another bead and handed it to Fang Dushu: "This is a Daolian bead. I have been meditating on it for many years. However, the true text inside the bead is scattered and disorderly. I still can't decipher it. Please ask fellow Taoist Fang Try watching again!" Fang Dushu's talent is priceless. He just watched the Knotted Beads to prove his ability. Next, he will not let Yingrui Flower Master continue to take advantage.

He put Daolian's bead on his palm, observing it while casting spells. The scattered petals in the bead quickly gathered together, and once again condensed into a golden stamen.

Once the stamen is formed, it means that the essence of enlightenment sealed in the bead has been cracked.

But the next moment, Fang Dushu waved the bead again, and the originally formed stamens instantly shattered and returned to the state of scattered petals.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, what are you..." Flower Master Yingrui was stunned for a moment. She originally wanted to see the complete flower shadow in the bead. As long as she looked at it once, she would be able to understand the full picture of enlightenment in the flower. Then she would be able to refine the enlightenment vessel. Can be done easily.

As a result, before she could take a look, Yi Zhu was beaten back to her original shape by Fang Dushu.

Fang Dushu seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Fellow Taoist Yingrui, you don't think that Fang will enlighten you for no reason, right? I didn't restore the original shape of the knotted bead just now, so I should repay the disciple for supporting Wanxiang Three. However, I have no reason to help with this Daolian bead!"

After hearing this, Master Yingrui's face immediately relaxed, and she asked with a smile: "If I also go to support your sect, can I get help from fellow Taoist Fang?"

Fang Dushu did not reply. He asked in return: "Fellow Daoist Yingrui has a special status. If you blatantly aid the three factions of Wanxiang, aren't you afraid of triggering the revenge of the Three Kingdoms of Huajian and causing the Five Grain Kingdom to face a military disaster?"

Master Yingrui has her own plan: "This time the Three Kingdoms of Huajian sent troops to Qinghe, they are not popular. They are greedy and are despised by fellow flower appraisers! I will go to lobby the Five Grain Kingdom, Yingshan Kingdom, and Baicao Kingdom. As long as you do it, Fellow Daoist Fang I promise to read the bead for these three comrades after the war, and I guarantee that they will send troops collectively to unite to support the three factions of Vientiane!"

After speaking, he looked at Yu Qiweng aside.

The Taoyuan Kingdom where Yu Qiweng was located did not like conquests and was unwilling to intervene in previous wars. Yingrui Hua Shi was not sure of persuading this country to send troops.

Yu Qiweng understood what Master Yingrui meant. He wanted him to come forward to persuade the leader of Taoyuan Kingdom.

But he sighed and said helplessly: "It is Taoyuan's national policy not to intervene in the Jianhua War! I can't control it, and my country will probably not send troops!"

Master Yingrui immediately advised: "Among our Nascent Soul colleagues from several countries, who doesn't have a group of close relatives and descendants with mediocre qualifications? As long as fellow Taoist Fang is willing to help, we can help these descendants to realize the Tao and form elixirs and even realize the formation of infants, so as to prevent the yin and yang in the future. Recently, I heard that there is a princess in your country who has reached the age of incarnation and has been unable to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. Shouldn’t the leader of your country sit idly by and ignore her?"

Yu Qiweng sighed again: "Even if fellow Taoist Fang is willing to help read the bead, it takes time to refine the Enlightenment Vessel. Before the princess attains Enlightenment and gives birth to a baby, the troops of the Three Kingdoms in Huajian have already arrived in Taoyuan. The Lord of our country will not send troops to help. ! If you don’t believe it, fellow Taoist Yingrui, you can go to our royal city in person and ask the king in person, he will definitely reject you!"

Anyway, he thought there was little hope for Taoyuan Kingdom to send troops.

Fang Dushu suddenly answered: "If you refuse, just refuse, it doesn't matter!"

He looked around at Yu Qiweng and Yingrui Flower Master, and expressed his position: "If the three kingdoms of Wugu, Yingshan and Baicao are willing to help, I will be rewarded later. If you don't want to help, it doesn't matter! The power of the three factions of Wanxiang alone is enough to resist The military front of the Three Kingdoms of Huajian is just the beginning of the three factions, and it is not appropriate to kill too much. Therefore, I advocate intimidating the Three Kingdoms of Huajian to withdraw their troops. If the fear cannot be stopped, and we will eventually fight against each other, then I will not show mercy!"

These words were said in an understatement, but they sounded murderous.

Yu Qiweng and Yingrui Flower Master couldn't help but look at each other, both of them were slightly confused. Fang Dushu was so calm and unhurried, and didn't take the Three Kingdoms seriously. Is he pretending to be calm, or does he really have the confidence and strength to fight against the Three Kingdoms?

Ying Rui Hua Shi originally wanted to rush to the three kingdoms of Wugu, Yingshan and Baicao in person to promote the Three Kingdoms Alliance to send troops, but now she suddenly changed her mind.

She said: "Why don't I follow fellow Daoist Fang to Qinghe first, meet fellow Yuan Ying from the Three Kingdoms in Huajian, and persuade them to stop their troops? If they can't stop, how about I contact reinforcements then?"

She planned to watch the battle first and see with her own eyes the overall strength of the three Wanxiang sects. If it was as Fang Dushu said, it would be easy to resist the Three Kingdoms in Huajian, then why should she go to all the trouble?

Fang Dushu had no objection: "That's fine!"

This time to deal with the Three Kingdoms of Huajian, Fang Dushu will use a two-pronged approach. On one side, he will fight against the monks of Huajian on the battlefield, and on the other hand, he will entrust flower master Yingrui to lobby the world of flower appreciating and cultivating immortals. If he can finally convince the other four countries, they will join forces to destroy the Three Kingdoms of Huajian. , carving up the territory of the Three Kingdoms would be the best.

If the other four countries are worried about losses and are unwilling to kill the Three Kingdoms of Huajian, it doesn't matter. Fang Dushu will support the four countries in the future until they have the courage to destroy the Three Kingdoms of Huajian.

It is not too late.

The three of them immediately hit the road together.

The territory of the Five Grain Kingdom is adjacent to Qinghe, and within half a day, the three of them had already arrived at the place.

A hundred miles away from the river, the sound of a loud horn suddenly reached the ears of the three of them.

"No, they have already started a war!" Yu Qiweng raised his hand and pointed forward: "The Vientiane Divine Peak is in that direction. It seems that the Three Kingdoms of Huajian have launched an offensive against the three factions in advance!"

"The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms have only been stationed on the river bank for a few days. Their messengers are still traveling around the countries and are still inviting allies. Ordinarily, they shouldn't be in such a hurry to start a war!" Ying Ruihua Division was also a little confused about the situation.

According to her understanding of the war, the Huajian Three Kingdoms' previous foreign campaigns were based on stationing troops to intimidate and create pressure on the opponent in order to defeat the enemy without fighting, which could also reduce one's own losses.

But this time they came to attack the three factions of Vientiane. The Huajian Three Kingdoms had just set up their battle formations and then hurriedly launched an offensive, which was not in line with their previous combat styles.

Fang Dushu listened to the two discussing the war situation without saying a word.

They continued on for dozens of miles, until the vast channel of the Qinghe River could be seen with the naked eye, and then they hovered in mid-air.

"Huh? What is that thing hovering over the Divine Peak of All Things?" Yu Qiweng looked far away and saw a group of green clouds hovering above the Divine Peak. Its outline looked like a bird.

But this bird was so huge that it stretched for hundreds of miles to the left and right. It would have been difficult to see the whole thing without Yu Qiweng looking far away from the river bank.

"That blue cloud is full of wind, it should be a great wind formation!" Flower Master Yingrui suddenly realized: "I know, the three factions of Wanxiang are most likely to escape from the formation, which prompted the Three Kingdoms of Huajian to launch a siege in advance !”

When she said this, she turned to look at Fang Dushu and asked, "Fellow Daoist Fang, you must recognize the origin of the wind formation, right?"
