It has been ten days since Fang Lin and others arrived at the Baixiang Mountain stronghold, and they have been busy rebuilding the stronghold.
This is not an easy matter. The original stronghold was destroyed in Feng Qianqiu's hands, and there was no way to live in it, so it had to be demolished and rebuilt.
This kind of heavy and menial work made the disciples of the Alchemy Sect, who usually only made alchemy, miserable, and they all clamored to return to the Alchemy Sect.
Fortunately, the two elders also felt that it was inappropriate for the disciples to do such a thing. After working on it for a few days, they hired nearby people to help.
The more people there are, the easier it is to get things done. A month later, the Baixiang Mountain stronghold has been restored to its original state, with no signs of being destroyed.
The so-called stronghold is a branch of Danzong stationed here, responsible for caring for and picking a large number of medicinal materials grown on Baixiang Mountain.
Baixiang Mountain has fertile soil, is close to the river, and has rich water quality. It is an excellent place for growing medicinal herbs. As early as hundreds of years ago, Danzong used Baixiang Mountain as a place to grow medicinal herbs.
This kind of job of taking care of herbs can be regarded as a leisurely job, but similarly, the people sent here are basically not valued in Danzong.
After the stronghold was rebuilt, everyone moved in. Twenty-seven disciples were led by Dong Qing into Baixiang Mountain that afternoon.
After entering the mountain, everyone saw the cultivated medicinal fields. There were a variety of medicinal materials in sight and they were growing very well.
Most of the entire Baixiang Mountain is used as a medicinal field, and there are no monsters in the mountain, and they have been driven away long ago.
When we got to the top of the mountain, we saw a stone statue of a white elephant standing on the top of the mountain. The carving was a little rough, but it could be said to be lifelike, as if there was really a giant white elephant about to cross the mountain and cross the river.
Everyone was curious and stepped forward to look at the stone statue.
"I'm afraid this stone statue is quite old." Fang Lin said to himself after taking a look at it.
Out of curiosity, a low-level disciple reached out and touched the stone statue. Hearing a sound, the man was suddenly thrown away with a look of horror on his face.
"Idiot, you can't touch this stone statue!" Dong Qing scolded him. When the others saw this, they all retracted the hands they had just extended.
When Fang Lin saw this, his eyes lit up. This stone statue was so extraordinary that it could send people flying away with just a touch.
The group of them had been here for a month, and naturally heard the legend about Baixiang Mountain from the nearby people, but they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a rumor among the people.
But now that he saw this strange stone statue, Fang Lin felt that the legend of a green lion and a white elephant locking the river was probably not just groundless.
"Elder, what is the origin of this stone statue? Why is it so weird?" The superior disciple named Zhang Tianjie asked.
Dong Qing said in a deep voice: "I don't know the origin of this stone statue. It seems that when my senior Dan Sect came here for the first time, this stone statue already existed. It will be shaken away, you can take a look, but don't move."
Hearing this, everyone was even more surprised that the origin of this stone statue was so old.
Fang Lin stared at the stone statue, not knowing what he was thinking.
After seeing this stone statue, everyone walked down the mountain along the way they came and returned to the stronghold.
Then, Dong Qing began to arrange the twenty-seven disciples, divided into two groups. One group went up the mountain to inspect and take care of medicinal materials every day, and the other group guarded the stronghold.
It was divided back and forth, and in the end only Fang Lin was left without a trace, while everyone else had their own tasks.
Fang Lin, Dong Qing and Xu Shugong all had some headaches. They could make fun of other disciples and give orders at will, but Fang Lin couldn't.
After all, he is the Erding Alchemist, and he already has the same reputation and status in the Alchemy Sect as the Four Shows of the Alchemy Sect. If he is treated as an ordinary disciple, something will happen.
Therefore, after the two discussed, they decided to delegate power to Fang Lin and let him take charge of the other twenty-six disciples.
To put it bluntly, let Fang Lin be the leader.
The other twenty-six disciples had no objections to such a decision, and even the two top disciples agreed immediately.
If nothing else, Fang Lin needs to be strong and capable, and he needs to have status. Isn’t the combination of the Earth Yuan warrior and the Erding alchemist enough to be your boss
In this way, Fang Lin became the person in charge of the stronghold in a daze. On weekdays, the two elders did not take care of much, and Fang Lin took care of almost everything.
Among the strongholds, the most laid-back person is none other than Dugu Nian.
She didn't have to do anything. She was either refining elixirs or just hanging out every day. When she got really bored, she went for a walk on Baixiang Mountain.
Two months have passed like this, and Fang Lin has become completely familiar with the twenty-six disciples, and they are also particularly convinced of Fang Lin.
Everything in the stronghold is on track, and Fang Lin doesn't have to worry about anything. He can have time to refine elixirs and practice.
Fang Lin has always been curious about the stone statues on Baixiang Mountain, and often takes time to go up the mountain to observe the stone statues.
At first, everyone felt strange. Although the stone statue was special, it didn't have much significance. Is it necessary to go up there every now and then
But gradually, they found that Fang Lin seemed a little tired every time he came back from the mountain.
On this day, Fang Lin came to the stone statue again. After taking a look, he sat down cross-legged silently.
For Fang Lin, this stone statue seemed to have a magical power, making him want to explore its secrets.
And these days of meditating in front of the stone statues are not without rewards.
A unique understanding gradually emerged in Fang Lin's mind, as if a huge white elephant as big as a mountain was trampling the earth.
"Green lions and white elephants lock the river. If the legends of the common people are true, then how can two mountains alone control the monsters in the river? I'm afraid the root cause is still on this stone statue paper. If my guess is right, on the other side of the river, I'm afraid there is also a stone statue on Qingshi Mountain." Fang Lin said secretly in his heart.
After all, Fang Lin had experience and experience in his previous life, and his vision was extraordinary. From the first moment he saw the stone statue that day, he felt that there was something hidden in the stone statue.
Now after several rounds of understanding, Fang Lin can basically conclude that this stone statue actually contains an extremely powerful martial arts move.
Guessing that there was a martial arts move hidden here, Fang Lin felt excited. Although he didn't lack any martial arts moves, he still wanted to learn something new.
Just when Fang Lin was in the mountain contemplating the stone statues, an uninvited guest came to the stronghold at the foot of the mountain.
A woman appeared outside the stronghold, looking coldly at everything inside the stronghold, and then looked up at the towering White Elephant Mountain.
"It's time to get back the things that have belonged to me for so many years." The woman murmured to herself and walked towards Baixiang Mountain.
