Qeng Ho Mage

Chapter 41
Fu Jigong continued: "The exiled families want to attack the city, which one will they choose? The weaker the better! Ever since the Hualongding was lost, Xiling City is already the weakest."

Fang Dushu was puzzled: "It is said that in the cities of Longzhou, the average number of bells and tripods in charge is four or five. It shouldn't be a big problem to lose a Hualong tripod, right?"

Fu Jigong shook his head: "Jiazi ago, when the Shi family snatched Xiling City from the Han family, they secretly accumulated four bell tripods, and after decades, these bell tripods were either robbed or destroyed!

So far, the Shi family has only one 'dotting-the-eye clock' that can be used, and their strength is in a state of decline! "

Why did Fu Jigong say "secretly accumulating"?

Because, in this world, Fang Dushu is not the only one who can save several bells and tripods privately, and other monks with deep blessings can also.

These monks often lead their clansmen to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, first to hide their strengths and bide their time, and accumulate strength. Once the time is right, they will show their fangs and start attacking cities and territories to expand the living space for their families.

Before Jiazi, the Shi family overthrew the Han family and entered Xiling City, just following this routine.

However, before the rise of the hermit family, they did not have territory and population, resulting in a small number of people, and a single hermit family was not up to the task of attacking the city.

"The previous siege battles were generally a joint operation of several hermit families. After the families in charge of the city were cleared up, they slowly decided on the ownership of the city."

When Fu Jigong said this, he went back to the "turmoil in Longzhou" he mentioned at the beginning.

He said: "Xiao Fang, the cities of Longzhou have been peaceful for decades, the more peaceful it is, the easier it is to attract exile families to come and live in seclusion!

These families have accumulated enough strength. This time, there is a [-]% chance that they will launch a joint attack and besiege Xiling City! "

Moreover, once the Battle of Xiling breaks out, it will be a protracted melee that will not end for at least a few years.

Because even if the Shi family, the original owners of Xiling City, are defeated, other exiled families will continue to kill each other until a strongest family is determined to rule Xiling City!

The longer the war drags on, the more chaotic the situation will be.

You must know that monks can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and the scope of the battle is very wide.

Wuyuan City is not too far from Xiling City, there is only Xuanjia City in the middle, only a hundred miles away.

However, the Fire Cave dug by Wuyuan City is located in the barren hills bordering Xuanjia City.

If the flames of war in Xiling City were to ignite, thousands of monks would fight, and the junctions of several nearby cities would become battlefields.

Earth Fire Cave is no exception.

Fu Jigong didn't let Fang Dushu go to Dihuo Cave because he was worried that Fang Dushu would be affected by the flames of war.

He finally persuaded: "Xiao Fang, I suggest you stay in the inner city in the near future. When the Xiling war breaks out, all the monks of the Fu family will return. At that time, the inner city will become an iron barrel, and no one can rush in. You will be in a safe situation." .”

Fang Dushu hurriedly asked: "Ji Gong, when will the Xiling war break out?"

This can stop Fu Jigong.

He couldn't predict it either: "Now the Shi family is mobilizing their troops, and they are offering a big reward to hire casual cultivators to defend the city. A war may break out soon."

But how long will it last once you touch it?
If Xiling City had been preparing for war with those exiled families for several years, wouldn't Fang Dushu have to wait in Wuyuan City for several years?
Think about it for a while.

Fang Dushu made a decision: "Jiegong, please help to apply for a fire cave for the younger generation. I don't think it will take long to refine the silkworm chrysalis this time. It should be finished in a month or two. If the Xiling war breaks out during this period, When the time comes, the younger generation will return to the city in time."

Fu Jigong thought for a while: "Xiao Fang, if you insist, that's fine."

He also said: "The Earth Fire Palace opened by Wuyuan City is less than a hundred miles away from the inner city. If I receive news of the war while you are refining the chrysalis, I will notify you as soon as possible. The danger should be minimized."

"That's it! When can I apply for the Fire Cave?"

"Originally, the fire caves have been rented by the Fu family's children all year round, but recently the situation has been turbulent, and they are unwilling to go out again. As a result, all the fire caves have been left idle. It will definitely be completed in three to five days at most."

Fu Jigong expected to apply for three to five days, but only one day later, he got the right to use a fire cave.

Renting the Fire Cave requires payment of spirit stones, Fang Dushu doesn't have to worry about these.

In order to ensure that Fang Dushu could withdraw to the inner city as soon as possible after the Xiling battle, Fu Jigong went to the Spirit Beast Hall in Wuyuan City and rented a mount for Fang Dushu.

This morning.

Accompanied by Fu Jigong's grandparents, Fang Dushu left the inner city and rushed to the Dihuo Palace.

Fang Dushu rode a galloping demon horse, while Fu Jigong and Fu Shiqing rode in a sheep cart.

Considering that Fu Jigong's injury was not healed, Fang Dushu didn't let him be exhausted, but he insisted on not obeying, and had to personally escort Fang Dushu to the Temple of Earth Fire.

Originally, Fu Jigong wanted Fu Shiqing to follow Fang Dushu and stay in the fire cave to protect the Dharma, so that they could take care of each other.

But Fang Dushu wants to use the summer moth clock to sacrifice fire silkworms, so he deliberately wants to stay away from the inner city, so how can he agree?

Fu Jigong felt sorry for being unable to help, so he offered to escort him himself.

Fang Dushu had no choice but to agree.

The mounts they hired were fast and capable of traveling thousands of miles in a day.

It took less than an hour to reach the place after traveling a hundred miles.

"Xiao Fang, look, under that low mountain is the Temple of Earth Fire!"

Fang Dushu stared forward and saw dozens of hills in front of him, which were low and low, like hills.

At the foot of the mountain, all the gates made of fine iron have been dug, and most of the gates have been sealed, only one is still open.

When Fang Dushu and Fu Jigong's grandfather and grandson arrived here, they saw a young man in black walking out of the door.

This young man was originally a girl, but she was dressed in men's clothing. Her face was covered with black dust due to staying in the fire cave all year round, and her hair was a bit messy, but her eyes were still bright.

When she saw Fu Jigong, she clasped her fists and shouted, "Grandpa, great-uncle, why are you here?"

"Of course we need to use the fire cellar!"

Fu Jigong got off the goat cart, led Fang Dushu over, and introduced the two sides.

The young man in black is named Fu Wanjun.

She is a gentleman, a generation younger than Fu Shiqing.

According to seniority, she should call Fu Shiqing Uncle Tang, but Fu Shiqing is a few years younger than her, and the blood relationship between the two cousins ​​is several layers away, so she can't say it.

Therefore, I only called Fu Jigong a great-uncle.

Her family background is similar to that of Fu Shiqing.

Fu Jigong asked her: "Mr. Wan, all the disciples stationed here have withdrawn to the inner city, why are you still here?"

Fu Wanjun smiled and said: "You can't leave all of them, someone has to stay and watch the door. Before I stayed here for a month, the clan only gave five spirit stones, now one a day."

When Fang Dushu heard this, he thought it was overtime pay for the world of cultivating immortals.
