The Tianshi Mansion held a fasting banquet, which was mainly attended by the four heavenly masters and eight people including Jia Fangjian, with the purpose of bringing Fang Jian away from the dust.
There is nothing much to talk about in this fasting banquet. It is nothing more than drinking some spiritual wine, eating some spiritual fruits and rare things, and then everyone can talk freely and talk about everyday things.
However, Fang Jian couldn't chat with them, but he couldn't just leave, so he could only sit there and drink the spirit wine one sip at a time.
"Master Hongqing, let me toast you." Just when Fang Jian was bored, he suddenly heard a gust of fragrant wind blowing in front of him.
When he raised his head, he saw Liu Peng, the mother of the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Min, holding a jade cup filled with spiritual wine.
At this moment, Liu Ji was smiling, raised his jade cup and said to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian picked up the jade cup and thanked Liu Peng: "Thank you, madam." Then he drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Fang Jian being so happy, Liu Ji said with a smile on his face: "Master Hongqing is really a handsome man from heaven, an extraordinary hero. I believe that with the help of Master Hongqing, our Tianshi Mansion will be able to settle down in the Eastern Continent and return to prosperity.
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately said: "It is possible to live in the East Continent within five years. But I am afraid it will not be possible to return to prosperity. Once the earth's energy is exhausted, the East Continent will be just a dead land."
"..." Liu Ji was stunned. It was pitiful that she only complimented Fangjian symbolically, and her words were all superficial.
But she didn't expect that Fang Jian would respond to her so formally. Not only her, but everyone in the banquet heard it, and the atmosphere seemed to be stagnant.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Peng, standing in front of Fang Jian, his face red to the root of his neck in embarrassment.
After finishing the wine in one gulp, Fang Jian said: "Master Hongqing, please use it slowly." Then he turned around and returned to the main seat. After putting down the jade cup, he just lowered his head to tease Zhang Huan. She had forgotten everything just now. Liu Zhaoye laughed. , raised the jade cup towards Fang Jian from a distance and said: "Master Hongqing, please."
Fang Jian poured himself another glass of spiritual wine, then raised his glass and said, "Master Liu, please. Everyone, please."
"please!"
Everyone raised their glasses in unison, and then drank the spiritual wine in one gulp.
The fasting banquet for Fang Jian to receive the wind and wash away the dust soon ended. Liu Zhaoye and the others originally arranged for Fang Jian to rest in the cloud room, but Fang Jian declined. He wanted to move into Baofangyuan as soon as possible.
Seeing that Fang Jian was so persistent, Liu Zhaoye stopped trying to persuade him, so he dispersed everyone and personally led Fang Jian to Baofangyuan. Zhenbaodian and Shifangyuan had just merged, and the positions of the two siyuan were not together at all, so Liu Zhaoye Take Fang Jian to see the Zhenbao Palace first, and then the Shifang Courtyard.
Zhenbao Hall is located on a mountain peak on the right side of Tianshi Mansion. The area here is small, with only one main hall and more than twenty small halls.
The Shifangyuan is located in the mountains in the northern part of Tianshi Mansion. Although it has only one small courtyard, it occupies a very large area and is a flat valley surrounded by mountains.
Liu Zhaoye and Fang Jian stood in the clouds, looking at the Shifangyuan below and said: "Master Hongqing, do you think which place you will choose as the location of the new Baofangyuan? After you choose it, I will immediately arrange for the disciples to prepare for the construction of the Baofangyuan. Square courtyard.
Fang Jian pointed to the valley below and said, "Here, the peak of Zhenbao Palace is too small. This place is spacious and suitable."
Hearing this, Liu Zhaoye said: "Okay, then tomorrow I will send people to move all the palaces and houses of Zhenbao Palace to this dust-free valley."
Dust Valley? "Fang Jian read the name, nodded and said: "This name is very good. "
Liu Zhaoye smiled faintly, then looked at Fang Jian and asked, "Master Hongqing, we will work together from now on."
Fang Jian keenly noticed that there was something wrong in Liu Zhaoye's words, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I will ask Master Liu for more advice in the future."
Liu Zhaoye smiled and said: "Don't take advice seriously, Master Hongqing, let me tell you what's in my heart."
Fang Jian immediately turned around and said seriously to Liu Zhaoye: "Master Liu, please speak."
Liu Zhaoye stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the desolate and barren land and said:
"The Tianshi Mansion can no longer afford to suffer heavy losses, and the strategy of shrinking inward is a last resort. If the Tianshi Mansion does not shrink inward, the backbone of the Tianshi Mansion will be exhausted before the Heavenly Court approaches. .
Having said this, Liu Zhaoye sighed, "Master Hongqing must have seen the current situation in the Eastern Continent. The Tianshi Mansion cannot continue to make unnecessary sacrifices and consumption."
When Fang Jian heard this, he also fell silent. After a long while, he said: "Don't worry, Master Liu, I can understand your painstaking efforts." Liu Zhaoye showed a smile on his face, then looked at Fang Jian and said: "It's good if Master Hongqing can understand, okay." , Master Hongqing arrived in Haolan Realm for the first time today. We did not provide good hospitality, but we will definitely make up for it in the future. Master Hongqing must be tired too,
Then go to bed early. "
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Okay."
Then Liu Zhaoye said goodbye and left. After Fang Jian watched Liu Zhaoye leave, he stepped on the clouds and flew into the Bichen Valley.
"Brother, how is Master Hongqing doing?" Liu Peng sat on a sandalwood chair in the Taoist Palace of the Great Heavenly Master and asked Liu Zhaoye, who was sitting upright on the right.
Liu Zhaoye took a sip of the spirit tea, felt the bitterness of the spirit tea in his mouth, shook his head and said: "Now the spirit tea is getting more and more bitter.
Liu Ji said helplessly: "The earth veins are almost exhausted. Even the flowers and plants around the Tianshi Mansion can no longer be planted. These spiritual teas must be turned into spiritual water with magic power and watered every day to survive. Some of them are good to drink. Liu Zhaoye heard this, He slowly put down the teacup and said, "It's hard to say whether this Hongqing is a brother, but it can be seen from his words and deeds that he is a very confident person, and his eyes are firm.
With a calm expression, he must be a tempered person. In short, he is not a simple person.
"But him," Liu thought for a while and said, "but I always feel that he is a little... a little too straight."
"Are you talking about the reception banquet tonight?" Liu Zhaoye asked.
Liu nodded and said, "Yes."
Liu Zhaoye laughed and said, "Are you honest? Not necessarily, maybe he is testing."
Liu Peng suddenly picked up his head and looked at his brother, but Liu Zhaoye stood up at this moment and said to Liu Ji: "You and Huan'er should have a rest early. No matter what happens, Brother Wei will help you and Xiu'er bear it. .”
"Yes." Liu also stood up and said, "I'll see my brother off."
Then Liu Ji sent Liu Zhaoye out of the living room of the Great Heavenly Master's Taoist Palace. After Liu Zhaoye left, Liu Ji returned to the backyard.
On that day, amid a rumble, a cloud of smoke and dust rose up in Bichen Valley.
Early in the morning, Liu Zhaoye sent ten deacon disciples from the True Immortal Realm to move all the main hall and more than twenty auxiliary halls of the True Treasure Hall to Bichen Valley, and then put them down one by one under Fang Jian's guidance.
In this way, Bichen Valley, which originally had only a small courtyard,
All of a sudden, it turned into a group of small palaces and temples that were beginning to take shape.
However, most of these palaces are old and have no new wood for repairs, so they always look very dilapidated.
When the plaque of Baofangyuan was hung on the gate of the palace, a fairy light flew down from the sky and landed in front of the gate of Baofangyuan Palace.
"Master Hongqing." A clear and beautiful voice came. Fang Jian turned around and saw a tall female cultivator from the Xuanxian Taoist cultivator, wearing a five-flower robe and a green leaf crown, appearing in front of him. .
Fang Jian took a closer look and saw that it was Ding Zhongyuan who was receiving the wine ceremony at the courtyard. Looking behind her, he saw twelve young and naive Taoist boys with hair in their hair, about ten years old.
"It turns out to be Ding Jijiu." Fang Jian bowed his hands and said.
Ding Zhongyuan returned the salute with his hand, then turned around and pointed at the twelve Taoist boys behind him and said: "Master Hongqing, under the orders of the Assistant Heavenly Master, I selected twelve smart and agile jungle disciples from the courtyard and sent them here. Hongqing Zhenren Baofangyuan drives him."
Fang Jian nodded, cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you Ding for the wine."
Ding Zhongyuan shook his head, then handed a roster to Fang Jian and said, "This is their roster. Please keep it, Master Hongqing. Pindao said goodbye."
After Fang Jian took the roster, he said to Ding Zhongyuan, "Okay, I'll give Ding a gift of wine."
"Master Hongqing, please stay." Ding Zhongyuan declined Fang Jian's farewell, and then flew away from Bichen Valley with his feet on the clear light.
Soon afterwards, the deacon disciples who moved the temple also returned to Fang Jian and left on the clouds. From the beginning to the end, they seemed not to want to stay here any longer.
In fact, I don't blame them if I think about it. When Fang Jian led the twelve disciples to open the original halls of the True Treasure Palace one by one, he expressed his understanding of the deacon disciples.
It's very simple. The so-called True Treasure Palace only has a 'Palace' and no 'True Treasure'. It is empty and cleaner than the desolate and barren land outside.
However, Fang Jian did not find nothing. At least he found a map in the main hall of Zhenbao Palace. Fang Jian opened the map and took a closer look. He was immediately very happy, as if he had found a treasure.
This is because this is a detailed map of the Haolan Realm. On this map, there are two huge continents, namely the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent.
But in the south of the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent, there is a huge sea area, which is half the size of the Eastern Continent. This sea area is called the "Canglan Sea", which spans the south of the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent.
In other words, whether it is the Western Continent or the Eastern Continent, its southern area borders the Canglan Sea.
Fang Jian looked at the map of the Haolan Realm in front of him and said happily: "There are still treasures in this True Treasure Palace!"
"Treasure? Where is the treasure?" A disciple asked naively, looking blankly at the empty hall.
Fang Jian slapped his palm on the Canglan Sea area on the map and said slowly: "Everything here is treasure!
Because there is a Dharma Protector Formation to protect the Eastern Continent, if Liu Zhaoye and the others, who have mastered the four magic weapons of the Dharma Protector Formation, do not open the Dharma Protector Formation passage, it will be difficult for Fang Jian to get out unless he uses the Big Sun Buddha Pestle to break open the Dharma Protector Formation. Eastern continent.
Since you want to retreat to the Eastern Continent, you no longer want to make fearless sacrifices in the war with the Western Continent. You want to retreat to the Eastern Continent to preserve and develop your strength under the protection of the Dharma Protector Formation. Then there is no problem in contacting the Canglan Sea in the south, right? Isn't this the breaking point?
