Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Qishan is the collective name of a series of islands, a total of forty-five, divided into east and west, five elements, north and south nine columns, the distribution is very regular, so it is named Qishan.
In the Nine Great Dao system, Qishan is located in the south, far away from the big 63,000 li, from the two major ports of the Holy Fu Dynasty - Fuhai City and Yunyang City - you can take a boat to this place, and you can reach it in more than ten days when the wind is downwind, which is the main way for most people to come to Qishan.
Daoist disciples have a simpler and more convenient way, through the instantaneous platform, they only need to transfer once in Hongshan, and they can cross the distance of tens of thousands of miles in a moment to come to the three islands in the chess mountain. The middle three islands are the islands in the third row and the third column, and the Qishan islands are all named in this way, which is clear and clear.
There is also a kind of people who can neither board ships from the port nor are qualified to use the teleportation platform, so they have to find another way, or take a small boat, or go underwater, or fly into the sky, in short, they have to take a farther and more dangerous route to quietly enter the realm of Qishan.
They came to Qishan not mainly to buy and sell rare treasures, but to seek protection, and as we all know among practitioners, the remote location of Qishan Dao is not only home to the largest bazaar in the cultivation world, but also to provide protection to any outsider who sets foot on the island, and for some people, Qishan is the only refuge in the world.
Du Fangfeng, a person of Pingdao Dao, more than 50 years ago, was 3,000 miles down from the water, and went ashore on 19 Island, soaking wet, his clothes were stained with shells and seaweed that took the road, and a few small fish were trapped in his head, his skin was pale and lifeless, and the whole person was like a dizzy drowned ghost, because he did not recognize the time and route, he would appear on the 6th ground in broad daylight.
Behind him was a large iron box. It was attached to his right ankle by an iron chain, to which more shellfish were attached. There are no edges and corners, and they become strange stones.
To everyone's surprise, for the entire three thousand miles, Du Fangfeng almost never cast a spell, occasionally surfaced to take a breath, and most of the time he relied on the most basic method of holding his breath to walk underwater.
"I have a treasure. He said to the first group of curious people who gathered around, his eyes were vacant, and he didn't seem to see anyone clearly. For three days and three nights, he said only these four words to everyone who came near, "I have a treasure." ”
No one saw his treasure, but when he pried open the iron box, many people saw the yellow gold and the black silver inside.
Du Fangfeng lives in an inn on the 42 island of Qishan. Fifty years and six months in the same room, exhausted of wealth and time, he was one hundred and sixteen years old, which was considered the end of his life for a casual cultivator, and it was said that his iron box was about to bottom out.
However, he is still one of the most legendary guests of Qishan. for he has a treasure.
A month after he went ashore on Qishan, rumors on the big 6 followed, it turned out to be this equal Taoist, who was bold enough to steal a bottle of water from the sword washing pool in Asan. At that time, the Asan Sword Washing Pool was not as heavily guarded as it is now. No outsiders are allowed to approach, but there are plenty of defenses to be in place. It's a shame to have a bottle of pool water stolen without noticing.
Walking 3,000 miles underwater without relying on spells is already a great skill, and it is an incredible miracle to be able to steal the water from Asan, one of the nine great avenues, so that no one took it seriously when the news first came, until a group of Asan Taoist priests came to the door, and everyone finally believed that this equal Taoist who was unbearable when he came ashore had really done something earth-shattering.
But how he managed to steal water from Asan has always been a secret, and he never shows it off, and the Taoist priests of Asan never mention it.
"I wasn't born fifty-one years ago. Shen Jiyi told the disciples of Pang Mountain, "I know a little, and I don't dare to guarantee that it is accurate, for example, whether Du Fangfeng really walked three thousand miles underwater, there is also a theory that he took a boat normally in Yunyang City, and only jumped into the water when he was about to reach Qishan to avoid inspection." ”
Pang Shan and his entourage arrived at Qishan in the morning and stayed at the inn on Sisan Island, for them, it was an extremely easy journey, only a little delay in the queue at the Hongshan Instant Stage, just exhaled the clear air above the mountain, and inhaled a slightly salty sea breeze.
Shen Jiyi's introduction to Du Fangfeng's wording was very polite, and he didn't have too much prejudice against him because he was a Taoist priest in Ashan, "That's all I know, oh, and Du Fangfeng is about to be unable to stay in Qishan, if we stay here for a few more days, we may be able to catch up with him to publicly auction the bottle of sword washing pool water." ”
"Be sure to stay a few more days. Yang Qingyin rarely talked to Shen Jiyi, but this time she didn't control her mouth, and now everyone's eyes were looking at her, she explained: "Look at the excitement, this kind of thing may not happen once in hundreds of years." ”
Shen Jiyi smiled and got up to say goodbye, he was going to see a few fellow Daoists who had been staying in Qishan to monitor Du Fangfeng, perhaps guessing something from Yang Qingyin's overly excited voice, he said: "The Nine Great Dao Unification reached an agreement decades ago, except for Ashan, it will never participate in the acquisition of the sword washing pond water, let alone take other means to fight, I think you know, right?"
Yang Qingyin snorted and didn't answer, Lan Qizhang, like Zuo Liuying, remembered many little things clearly, and immediately said: "On the sixth day of the seventh month of July in the 586th year of the 37th Patriarch of the Dao Dynasty, each of the Nine Great Dao Sects sent a party to gather in Asan and reached an agreement that they would never participate in snatching the stolen sword washing pool water, and if necessary, they would also work together to ensure that the pool water was returned to its original owner. Only Qishan said that the principle of protection could not be violated, and as long as the Equality Daoist was still living in the inn on the island, his safety must be guaranteed. ”
Shen Jiyi thanked Lan Qizhang and exited the room.
Lan Qizhang coughed, he was the oldest and the highest in cultivation among the crowd, he felt that he had the obligation to set an example, and he also had the right to make decisions, "If you want to buy magic materials, Qishan is the most complete, but the price is also relatively expensive, I can buy one or two main materials." No matter how good the magic weapon is, it is also an aid, we should still return to Pangshan to continue our cultivation, I think three days is enough to stay here. Alas, I stayed in Asan for too long, and I didn't expect ......"
"Oops. Three days is a bit less, but Lan Daoyou is right. Let's go to the market and see the market. Yang Qingyin didn't insist on staying for a few more days, and even invited Lan Qizhang, "Do you want to go shopping with us, don't come for nothing, you can also refine another magic weapon." ”
Lan Qi shook his head sternly, "I have a second-grade seventh-grade iron ruler, which is enough." Qishan is full of islands, and there is nothing to visit. I'm going back to my room to practice. Qin Daoyou, you've been delaying your afternoon cultivation for several days, ...... today."
"You can delay it again today. Yang Qingyin was impatient, and waved his hand to blast Lan Qizhang, "You don't like shopping, go and think about cultivating, and by the way, study the art of breaking pills for a while." Maybe the breakthrough is today. ”
Lan Qizhang explained earnestly as he walked out, "I have just finished reading a large number of records of my predecessors about the Broken Pill, and I am still far from achieving my own achievements, and I am not in the Forbidden Secret Tower, and many tests cannot be carried out. However, there are occasional flashes of inspiration in the Forbidden Secret Section, and I am still close to the fire, but ......"
Yang Qingyin slammed the door shut and let out a long breath, "I really regret inviting him here." Qin Lingshuang, he is so verbose. How can you stand your usual practice?"
Qin Lingshuang, like everyone else, didn't want to stay in the house to practice at this time, and said with a smile: "He always stays outside the door, and he usually doesn't talk so much." ”
Yang Qingyin took a look at a few people in the room, and said to Shen Hao and Xin Youtao: "You two go shopping first, why do you keep so much money in your hands?"
The two of them snorted proudly at the same time, got up and wanted to go out, Mu Xingqiu hurriedly stopped them, the bald man was sleeping in the gourd, he didn't want to stay alone among the three female Taoist priests, "Shen Hao and Xin Youtao can help, let them stay." ”
Yang Qingyin stared at the two of them for a while, until they showed obvious dissatisfaction, and then said, "Okay, you stay, but keep your mouth tighter." ”
Xin Youtao and Shen Hao were even more dissatisfied, but the former glanced at Mu Xingqiu, and the latter glanced at Qin Lingshuang, and they were both curious, so they sat down reluctantly and vaguely promised not to talk nonsense.
Xiao Qingtao was inexplicable, "What are you helping, aren't we just here to buy materials?"
"Buying materials is a trifle. Yang Qingyin patted the Qiankun bag on his waist, "Sell the dozens of magic weapons in here, it's enough for everyone to buy the best materials." But I want the most valuable treasure of Qishan. ”
Except for Mu Xingqiu, several other people looked at each other, Shen Hao understood what she meant, and said suspiciously: "Do you want the pool water in Du Fangfeng's hand?"
"Exactly. ”
Shen Hao smiled, "Impossible, first, there is an agreement on mutual assistance in the Nine Great Dao Sect, we are disciples of Pang Mountain, and we must not do treacherous things, second, this is Qishan, no matter how capable people are, they don't dare to rob it, not to mention that we are just a few inhaling Taoists, and third, even if we catch up with Du Fangfeng to sell treasures, we can't afford it, and we can't take it away if we buy it." ”
"Are you finished?" Yang Qingyin asked coldly.
"That's it. Shen Hao couldn't help but add again, "You're completely messing around." ”
"I told me my plan, when the time comes, I am willing to stay with my mother, and leave if I don't want to, just don't leak the secret. ”
Shen Hao didn't squeak, and Xin Youtao didn't squeak, with a look that didn't care about himself.
"I've heard about Du Fangfeng for a long time. Yang Qingyin waited for a while before continuing, "The Nine Dao Tong actually doesn't have the idea of working together, Asan wants to go back to the pond, Qishan just wants to squeeze the gold from it as much as possible, and the other Dao Tong is watching the excitement. As far as I know, Du Fangfeng's money is about to run out, and if he can't pay the room fee, he will be kicked out of the Qishan Islands. ”
"Isn't he going to auction off the treasure?" said Xiao Qingtao.
"Ha, if he could sell it, he would have sold it a long time ago, how could he wait for fifty years? The Nine Great Dao Sect is embarrassed to openly offend Ashan, even if an ordinary casual cultivator has the money to buy it, just like Shen Hao said, he can't bring out Qishan. ”
"Then you don't have a chance. Shen Hao said unceremoniously.
"Stupid, listen to me. Du Fangfeng is desperate, I heard that he is planning a secret escape, wanting to find another place to live, the so-called auction is just a trick. So if we're lucky, maybe we can snatch the treasure unknowingly and bring it back to Pangshan. ”
