Chapter 118: Promise
It's not complicated, it's just a long story, and we have to start with the first generation of monks and ancestors of the Fang family.
Nearly two hundred years ago, there were no people here in Fangjia Town, until the ancestor of the Fang family named Fang Yijing chose to set up a house here, and then gradually there were nearby mountain people and hunters who were sheltered and gathered nearby, and after a few years, there were gradually villages and towns.
Back then, the ancestor of the Fang family, as Qin Que had thought before, was a disciple of the sect who had entered the sect but failed to cultivate to a high level, but it was not the Heshan Sect where Qin Que was, nor the Fufeng Sect where Qin Que had many scruples, but the Qu Ming Sect, another of the four sects, which was famous for domesticating spirit beasts.
After the ancestor of the Fang family returned to the world, he wandered around, and finally chose this place as a place to live, not at random, but a place specially selected after many comparisons.
It is too rare to find the underground spiritual spring like Qin Que with his death, and the idle sect does not have that ability, and the ancestor of the Fang family, Fang Yijing, does not have that luck, but the place he found is not simple, although there is no bubbling spiritual spring water, but there is also a trace of pure heaven and earth spiritual qi escaping.
After the ancestor of the Fang family accidentally discovered the pure aura, he sent his domesticated spirit mouse beast to follow the aura to explore deep underground, and actually found a formation under the ground, the Spirit Gathering Formation. This kind of formation was obviously arranged by the ancestors of the masters, but I don't know where the masters went and what damage this formation had, so that the aura of heaven and earth escaped to the ground along the cracks in the ground.
Fang Yijing's cultivation of the Enlightenment Realm couldn't arrange such a large array, but it was still possible to tinker with it and use these escaping heaven and earth aura for his own use.
Outsiders looked at the Fang family's mansion on the ground There was nothing special, but they didn't know that there was a cave in the depths of the ground, except for the descendants of the Fang family and a few people in the Qu Ming Sect, Qin Que was still the first outsider to know about this, not that the housekeeper Fang De and the young master Fang He trusted Qin Que much, but first, the Fang family's heaven and earth aura was still attractive to the cultivators who were already above the channel, otherwise, the Fang family had been here for so long, and the children above the channel would not be counted on one hand; 。
However, because there was still something wrong with this formation, it was not revealed at the beginning, until the Fang family's house appeared for the first time after decades, and the aura of the escaping heaven and earth brought out a few traces of evil qi at the same time.
There is not a lot of evil qi, but it is very troublesome, and it is very likely that people with poor cultivation will be invaded into the divine consciousness.
It's just that they gave up this place just because of these Xu Evil Spirits, and the Fang family was really reluctant, but fortunately, after two years of intensive research at that time, the Fang family finally found out the reason, and it was still because of the damage to the formation.
After many tests, the Fang family finally found a way to repair the formation, but perhaps because of insufficient cultivation, the repaired formation could only last for three years, and it would have to be re-strengthened after three years.
This is not a big problem, as long as there is a Tongqi Realm cultivator at the end of the three-year period, everything will be fine, and from then on, every three years, the Fang family's underground cultivation ground will be suspended for ten days before reopening.
It has been this way for 100 years, and this year is another three-year period. I didn't want to use the method that had been used dozens of times, but this time something went wrong, not only was the formation not repaired well, but the current patriarch of the Fang family, the only true Enlightenment Realm cultivator, Fang Sihai, fell into it.
Entering, Fang Sihai's strength is not enough to go deep into it, and retreating will lead to a strong evil aura, affecting the Fang clan, plus thousands of villagers in the town.
In order to keep the formation and protect the neighbors, the rest of the Fang family also came to help the patriarch, but only one person can get started at a time, and once it changes hands, it will have to be done again, from a few to eighteen people who have washed the veins have tried first, and then the old man of Fang De personally shot still can't do it, and finally everyone in the Fang family understands that it is still worse when it comes to the Great Perfection. However, it was only a little worse, according to the estimation of Fang De and the team leader Fang Sihai, as long as a monk who had broken through to the Tongqi realm made a move, he could easily stabilize the formation and let Fang Sihai come out safely, and by the way, the formation could be repaired again and restored to the previous state.
When such a thing happened, the Fang family immediately passed the news to the Tongqiao Realm cultivator who was familiar with their own family, no matter which one of them, as long as one person came, it could be solved, I don't want to think that although it was not very positive in the past, but for the sake of the spiritual objects presented by the Fang family, there would always be people who agreed to come down, and this time there was actually no one who agreed.
One is like this, two are like this, until a few days ago, the news from the last person was still the same thing, and there were some urgent things to do recently, so that the Fang family could find someone else.
The Fang family's cultivation was the highest patriarch trapped in the formation and could not come out, and it took more than ten days to pass the news back and forth, just two days ago, the formation was unstable again, and it only took a short time to recover again, but after that, the patriarch in the formation suddenly broke off contact. Frightened, Fang De went to investigate again, and got a conclusion that made everyone in the Fang family panic, the patriarch was still in the formation, but he had been in a stalemate with the cold qi for so long, that is, the cultivation of the Secret Realm, and the patriarch in the formation had also begun to lose his strength, and it could only support five to ten days at most.
At the beginning, things were not in a hurry, no one thought about how high the remuneration was to invite people, and they didn't want such a change. Five to ten days, such a short period of time, without the patriarch Fang Sihai of the Tongqi Realm, even if the Fang clan is the strongest Fang De housekeeper, there is not enough time to go back and forth to any sect, if it weren't for this, after hearing that a Tongqi Realm monk came, Fang De and Fang He would not be so in a hurry.
"Fellow Daoist, that's the thing. You only need to take action to rescue the patriarch, and then work together with the patriarch to consolidate the spirit gathering formation, it is our Fang family, the great benefactor of thousands of neighbors in our entire town, not to mention anything else, as long as Daoyou comes to our Fang family in the future, he will be the most honored guest of our Fang family. ”
"Please save my father. As soon as the housekeeper Fang De's words fell, the anxious voice of the young master of the Fang family sounded closely.
After entering the Heshan Sect, Qin Que listened to the chatter of his senior brother in vain, the monk's affairs were not comparable to those when he was in the Qin family's village, he was hunting in the mountains, unless he encountered bandits, otherwise, when someone was in difficulty, it was normal to give a helping hand, and there was no need to think too much about it, the monks were very different, otherwise Qin Que would not have heard the help and wanted to get out and leave.
If it is really as Fang De said, this thing is really done, the distinguished guests of the Fang family are nothing, what makes Qin Que the most excited is still the red lantern of the four-grade spirit grass, as for what Fang De said about saving the people of the Fang family and thousands of neighbors, it is just a little weight that he used to impress Qin Que, Qin Que didn't believe it, if he really couldn't hold on, the Fang family released the news area, and the people in thousands of towns would still be stupidly waiting for the evil qi to attack.
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Que nodded: "Fang Daoyou, I promise you." But there's one more thing, I'm going to change the red lantern in my hand first. ”
"This?" Butler Fang De only paused slightly, and then agreed: "Okay, Daoist friends wait for a while, and I will come when Young Master He and I go." ”
Qin Que didn't stay in the house alone for too long, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the housekeeper Fang De came back, walked to the table, stretched out his hand and took out a jade box and put it on the table: "Fellow Daoist, Young Master He has already gone to the Spirit Gathering Array to wait." Fellow Daoist, please take a look at the spiritual object first, if it's okay, I'll take Daoist friend over. As he spoke, he opened the jade box with a click.
As soon as the jade box opened, one of the small cyan fruits was revealed, it was really like a small lantern, the fruit was not big, but it exuded a quintessential and fierce fire aura, although Qin Que had never seen the crimson lantern in kind, but he also confirmed it at a glance, it must be above the third order, this is the fire spirit object he needs, there is such a thing, maybe he doesn't have to worry about the fire system true yuan anymore.
"Fellow Daoist, close the jade box. Seeing that this spiritual object was about to belong to him, Qin Que was reluctant to let such an essence aura escape in vain, and at the same time as he said to the housekeeper Fang De, he had already reached into the storage bag and began to dig out the spirit grass.
In order to save the patriarch of the family, Fang De was also very single, and he took out all the four-grade spiritual objects, and he didn't care about the spiritual grass that Qin Que took in exchange, when he stretched out his hand to stop it: "Fellow Daoist, you don't need to take anything, I said it, as long as you rescue the patriarch, this red lantern is Daoyou's." ”
"That's not possible, according to what Daoist friends said, I'm just urging a True Yuan, and a True Yuan of a Tongqi Realm monk is not worth a four-grade spirit grass. I can't let your house suffer such a big loss. ”
If it was to save people from the beginning, Qin Que didn't mind taking the red lantern, but at the beginning it was about trading, Qin Que didn't want to take people's things for nothing, and still took out the spirit grass one by one.
At the beginning, the housekeeper Fang De was still a little unconcerned, no matter what kind of spirit grass, could it still be compared to the red lantern? His previous words were not wrong, just change places, change circumstances, it is impossible for the Fang family to take out such a spiritual object as a reward, Qin Que can hardly get a high-level thing with a hundred times more effort for a Passage Realm cultivator, but as Qin Que takes out one spirit grass after another, Fang De's expression gradually changed, it is true that in terms of grade alone, among the many spirit grasses that Qin Que took out, none of them can be compared to the red lanterns, and even many of them are still broken branches and leaves, but he took out more than a dozen third-grade spirit grasses at once, and the remaining dozens of second-grade spirit grasses are also the top existence of the second grade, and this kind of skill is not something that ordinary Passage Realm monks can have。
With so many spirit grasses, it is not enough to exchange the crimson lanterns of the fourth grade, but it is not much different. Butler Fang De spoke up again: "Enough, fellow Daoist, enough, if you want to go out and get something again, I will have to compensate you again." ”
"Hehe, then I'll put it away. Qin Que smiled, then reached out and pushed the spirit grass over, and picked up the jade box.
"Of course, Daoyou, will I go with me?" Butler Fang De waved his hand and swept the spirit grass on the table into his storage pocket, and asked Qin Que at the same time.
"Please lead the way. Qin Que, who put away the jade box, immediately agreed.
