Chapter 40 The Battle in Xiling (seeking reading)

Half an hour later.

Fang Dushu walked out of Du Yuanniang's treasure building with a bamboo slip.

This is the "Hatching Spirit Book" he asked Fu Shiqing to purchase.

Actually, it's not a powerful magical power.

This is just an exclusive method compiled by Du Yuanniang based on her many years of experience in hatching silkworm pupae.

Although this treasure book has no mysterious and profoundness, it is quite practical.

On the way home, Fang Dushu couldn't wait to read it.

Fu Shiqing was by his side and said a word of guilt from time to time.

"I originally wanted to give me a whole silkworm, but I bought a hatched book. Oh, I'm so sorry for Brother Xian."

"What's wrong with it? This book is pretty good."

"No matter how good it is, Brother Xian has to work hard to hatch silkworms, and there is no way to drive the silkworm slaves to come directly."

"Anyway, I've done nothing recently, just passing the time."

"My grandfather is applying to the clan to see if he can let Brother Xian go to the preaching ceremony to learn the law, but the guest officials have strict requirements on learning the law. My grandfather can't say when it can be done."

Any family of immortal cultivation is willing to open to the guest officials, which is also the biggest bargaining chip to attract the guest officials to settle down.

However, in order to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the guest official, it is very necessary to set up some conditions for studying the law.

These conditions are relatively harsh. Fu Jigong wanted to help reduce the harshness and make it easier for Fang Dushu to receive magic.

However, Fu Jigong was just a partial branch of the clan, so it is hard to say whether he could do this in the end.

Fu Jigong himself has learned several ancestral works of the Fu family, but he is half-baked. If he passes on Fang Dushu, he will easily lead Fang Dushu into the ditch and can only give up this idea.

Fang Dushu listened to Fu Shiqing's nagging.

He smiled and said, "When you go home, tell your grandpa, you don't have to worry about me for the time being, you will recover from the injury first. If it is because of me, it will cause him to relapse with his old illness, it will be a sin."

Fu Shiqing quickly shook his head: "It cannot recur. Grandma specially invited a doctor to come and said that after grandpa took the spiritual root, his body had no secret disease. He just waited for a slow rest and healing."

"That's good."

Fang Dushu also hopes that Fu Jigong will recover soon.

Talk all the way to the house.

Fu Shiqing went to Fu Jigong to report on his visit to Du Yuanniang today.

Fang Dushu returned to his residence by himself and continued to study the "Hatching Spirit Book".

I'll read this book in detail.

Fang Dushu has confirmed his guess that as long as he uses the summer moth bell to sacrifice his fire silkworm pupa, he can hatch and become a silkworm.

But he currently lives in Wuyuan Inner City and cannot use the Xia Moth Bell.

He needs to find a fire cave to hide his eyes and ears.

A family of immortal cultivation of a certain size like Wuyuan City must have a special earth fire hall.

He originally planned to wait until tomorrow and take the opportunity to mention this matter as usual when he went to visit Fu Jigong.

As a result, before he could come to see him, Fu Jigong took the initiative to come and see him.

It was dusk.

With the help of Fu Shiqing, Fu Jigong knocked on his door.

Welcoming the two into the house.

After sitting down.

Fu Jigong smiled and said, "I heard from Shiqing that you plan to hatch silkworms. If it is useful to go to my husband's place, Xiao Fang, don't be polite."

"I really have to worry about the successor once." Fang Dushu said: "What I want to hatch is the fire silkworm, and I must use spiritual fire sacrifices. I want to find a fire cave with stable fire power. I wonder if there is such a place in Wuyuan City?"

"It must be. It's easy to arrange a fire cellar for you, but..." Fu Jigong hesitated.

"Since it's easy to arrange, is there anything difficult to deal with?" Fang Dushu was curious.

"That's right! Because most people using fire cellars use alchemy to make tools, which can easily cause accidents, so all fire caves are carved in the outer city, far away from the main hall, and the area is relatively remote."

The main hall is densely packed. If a monk makes a mistake in operation, it will cause leaks from the fire cellar. Although it will not cause human life, it will also cause great damage.

That's why the Earth Fire Hall was set up in a desolate land, for the sake of risk control.

"But recently, the situation in Longzhou is not peaceful, and the Huoku area is very dangerous. I don't recommend you go there now!"

Fu Jigong was completely concerned about Fang Dushu's safety.

Fang Dushu is not familiar with the situation in Longzhou.

He asked: "A few days ago, Shiqing and I returned from Cangsangze. Except for some incidents in Xiling City, the rest of the cities were all fair. What turmoil happened?"

"The turmoil was caused by Xiling City."

"Xiling City? This city is located on the border of Li Kingdom. Even if war breaks out, it will not affect Wuyuan City, right?"

"It's hard to tell! Once the war starts, the monks of Xiling will rush everywhere. In Longzhou, except for the inner cities of various aristocratic families, there may be war in other areas!"

"I heard that there are more than a thousand Shi family monks stationed in Xiling City. Is there really a city in the outer city that dares to attack them?" Fang Dushu couldn't understand: "What are the benefits of attacking them? Just for a few bells and tripods?"

"Xiao Fang, this kind of war is deeply involved. Listen to me and tell me in detail. When I finish speaking, you will understand the causes and consequences."

Fu Jigong was an old monk in Longzhou, Li Kingdom. He knew the root of all the wars.

He only heard him introduce to Fang Dushu: "There are 36 cities in Longzhou, all of which are governed by aristocratic families. The strengths of these aristocratic families are generally equal, but there are still several strong clans. They have been secretly preparing to capture the outer city to expand the territory of the big family."

What are the benefits of expanding territory to the family?

This involves the survival and prosperity of the family.

The thirty-six-generation families in Longzhou all had to send tribute to Zhenwen. The more tribute the more real methods they received, the more real methods they could be given, the more elite people they could be cultivated.

The so-called quantitative change completes qualitative change. When the elite tribe emerges to a certain level, they can take root in the states of Li, thereby achieving the goal of keeping the family standing.

However, if the strong tribes want to expand their territory, other weak families will unite to oppose the expansion of the strong tribes.

After all, ambitions are endless, and the weak family understands the principle that the lips are gone and the teeth are cold.

"The several strong tribes in Longzhou want to get involved in Xiling City, but they are worried about offending public anger and are besieged by other aristocratic families." Fu Jigong commented: "Therefore, the possibility of these strong tribes provoking war is very small."

"Since the possibility is small, what else can I worry about?" Fang Dushu listened with relish. He was very interested in the inside story of such a family.

"What we have to worry about is not the strong clans, but the families that lived in seclusion." Fu Jigong pointed out: "In addition to the thirty-six cities in Longzhou, there are also many exiled families who fled from other places, or local families who were destroyed by war.

They are sandwiched among many cities and have difficulty in survival! In order to regain territory, get the opportunity to pay tribute from the Zhenwen Sect, and be on par with many aristocratic families in the city, they will take the risk of attacking the city!"

When Fang Dushu heard this, his original thoughts of watching the fun were immediately dispelled.

On the surface, the Xiling War was almost impossible to fight with him.

But the Fatty tribe fled to Li Kingdom. Now I don’t know which mountain nest to hide dormant. Once I have the opportunity to conquer the city, will they participate?
