Chapter 34 The World is Learned
Zhao Xiao retrieved the poor bamboo basket from a pile of rubble, the bamboo oilcloth was broken to the left and the right, the common rune paper inside was neatly cut, and the bottle of rejuvenating incense that was reluctant to use was broken, and the fragrance in the inside was scattered.
Sighing helplessly, Zhao Xiao had to lean over to clean up. In order to escape before, he tried his best to launch the Tiger Power Spit Spell, which originally required him to concentrate on hitting a little, but at that time, Zhao Xiao simply spread the power of the spell unrestrained.
Today's Zhao Xiaobi entered the territory when he was in Chengyang Lishan, and the power of the tiger power to spit out the spell was no less than the sword qi sent by Luo Xixian. is as strong as Yang Liujun, and he does not dare to be negligent in the face of such a sharp edge.
Yang Liujun and Sang Huazi protected themselves, which also gave Zhao Huang a chance to get out, but this bamboo basket was still in the torture room at the time, and the result can be imagined.
"Alas, this time it's my grandmother's house." Zhao Xiao squatted in the rubble and covered his face worried.
"Do you still have these things on your mind?" Ling Xiao's tone was serious: "I was in a hurry to survive before, so I didn't say much. Now that you think about it, how dangerous it was? If it weren't for Yang Liujun's ulterior motives and letting you live, you would have died a long time ago. ”
"I ......" Zhao Xiao did not refute, and obediently admitted: "I was careless, thinking that I would be foolproof in the county government." The thieves can follow the villagers into the city, and the monks of Chiyundu can naturally do it, but I was negligent in taking precautions. ”
"With your current cultivation, you can't maintain the Ying Xuan Illumination Technique all the time." Ling Xiao said: "What's more, Yang Liujun didn't change his description with magic, and you didn't realize it. ”
Zhao Xiao nodded secretly: "There is also the prohibition I laid in the county government and prison, which can only guard against demons and evil spirits, and Yang Liujun's cultivation is unbiased in his mana, and he can't touch the prohibition at all." Coupled with the fact that he deliberately hid the qi machine, it was really impossible to prevent it.
I can understand why Liang Shuo and the others hide in the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace all day long and refuse to go out easily. In addition to being a summoning altar, the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform itself is also a fortress. Previously, the Red Cloud Monk took the initiative to attack Yanze City, and the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform was in ruins, but it was the only one that was unscathed. And it's almost impossible for outsiders to sneak inside. ”
Ling Xiao agreed: "There are endless spells and methods in the world, and if you have the intention to hide and wait for the opportunity to assassinate, it can be described as extremely dangerous. The Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace is indeed a talisman treasure, and if it belongs to you, it may be better. ”
Zhao Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lingxiao Shangxian, you can also tell jokes?" At first glance, the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace is the magic weapon left by the Liang Immortal Ancestor to future generations, can it be my turn? ”
Lingxiao's attitude is not shy about taboos: "The secular family wealth industry still depends on whether the descendants can inherit it, and if you are not careful, you will be a loser." The magic weapon of the immortal family bears a very heavy burden, and the descendants squander the legacy of the predecessors, Yu Qing, not thinking of diligence and accumulation, but taking the law as a play, arrogant and arrogant, the magic weapon of the fairy family fell into their hands, it is the pearl secret investment. ”
This big reason smashed over, and Zhao Xiao couldn't reply, so he could only say: "I can't do it to rob it, right?" Maybe their immortal ancestors are watching from the sky, once I make a move, there will be divine thunder and immortal generals swinging swords, isn't it self-defeating? Don't talk about it again. ”
Ling Xiao said: "Yang Liujun is very powerful, but Chongxuan Pavilion can only summon three heavenly soldiers and feather riders, don't you think the situation is abnormal?" ”
Zhao Xiao pondered for a moment: "Could it be that Liang Gongzi can't please move that immortal general?" ”
"Yang Liujun sneaked into Yanze City alone, took great risks to rescue Sang Huazi, and retreated safely with one enemy, what a humiliation is this?" Ling Xiao said: "Liang Shuo didn't make a move, which means that he has no way to deal with it at the moment, so he can only let a few of them summon the Heavenly Soldiers and Yu Cavalry to do a perfunctory thing. ”
Zhao Xiao shrugged: "Maybe Liang Gongzi has excellent cultivation, and he has no honor or disgrace in his heart, and it is estimated that Yang Liujun will not be able to attack the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace." ”
"A character who attracted attention because of the opening of the altar by other talismans, and thus sent a fox demon to disturb bad things, you say that he has no honor and reputation?" Ling Xiao did not hide his contempt: "He is motionless when he should be revealed, and he is not the kind of monk who abandons the world." ”
Zhao Xiao thought about it carefully and had to agree with Ling Xiao's statement. Fang Cai shouted all over himself, attracting the monks of various pavilions to attack one after another, which shows that they are not indifferent to the capture and killing of the monks of Chiyundu.
Liang Shuo didn't make a move, I'm afraid it wasn't unwilling, but it couldn't.
Zhao Xiao reluctantly cleaned up, and when he walked out of the prison, he saw Wang Juncheng wiping his sweat and rushing back, he had already learned about the situation from his scribes.
"The villagers who have recently come to Yanzawa City, let me check them all!" Wang Juncheng shouted at a group of officials, Cao Zuo: "According to the book list, every family and household will be counted, and the official will also check it himself, so don't any of you want to prevaricate for me!" ”
Wang Juncheng rarely said cruel words on weekdays, but this time he was really angry and drove away a group of officials Cao Zuo, so he spoke to Zhao Xiao:
"Zhao Fu is fine, right? I heard you were almost injured by a demon? ”
Zhao replied, "I'm fine. In fact, I am also responsible for this situation. Before, I despised Chiyundu, and there were quite a few high-ranking people among them. ”
"The demon is cunning, Zhao Fu doesn't have to blame himself." Wang Juncheng asked: "I heard from my subordinates that the demon who robbed the prison this time was dressed in chlorophyte and wearing a mask?" It seems to be the one who led the crowd to attack Shiozawa Castle in the first place. ”
Zhao Xiao nodded: "This person calls himself Yang Liujun, and I guess that the person in charge of Chiyun is in Xingluo County." ”
Wang Juncheng frowned: "This kind of person is in a high position, and he even personally took risks to save people?" ”
Zhao Huang didn't answer, after all, it was he who proposed to leave Sang Huazi's life before, but now that the person has been rescued, Fei Lian Pavilion has also lost two monks, if others want to be held responsible, Zhao Huang is afraid that it will be impossible to avoid it.
Sure enough, the county government prison was still in a mess, and several pavilions sent people to question it.
"The Red Cloud Demons were able to infiltrate the county government prison and kidnap the prisoners? What exactly do you do? ”
The most fierce reaction was the monk of the Fei Lian Pavilion, one of whom raised his finger and scolded Wang Juncheng: "I heard that the demon was disguised and infiltrated into the prison, this kind of trick can't be seen through, are your eyes white?" ”
Wang Juncheng explained: "I would like to inform you that the lower officials must do their best to introspect themselves, and they have now sent officials to search for outsiders in the city, and if there is any suspicion, they should be strictly interrogated. ”
"Judge the fart!" The Fei Lian Pavilion monk said angrily: "Just kill it directly!" Why did you provoke a bunch of untouchable ant people, and the city has become more and more smoky lately. hindered our Qing cultivation, not to mention, but also attracted thieves and demons to cause chaos in the city. Believe it or not, we will write to the court and demote you to Pujiaguan! ”
Pujia Pass is the primary line of defense of Huaxu State against Jiuli State, which is not just a pass, but a continuous fortress pass. Due to the treacherous and miasma of the surrounding mountains and forests, and the many sick and dead people stationed in Pujia Pass, Huaxu Guozhong has always sent criminals to Pujia Pass as hard labor to help resist the invasion of Jiuli State.
In the face of such vicious words, Wang Juncheng still maintained a lenient expression: "The lower officials must do their best to clear the thieves and restore the peace of Yanze City." ”
"Empty words, all the vague words in the officialdom!" The monk of the Fei Lian Pavilion was not forgiving at all: "Tell me clearly, since you caught the monk of Chiyundu before, why don't you show his head to the public?" As for causing today's catastrophe! ”
Wang Juncheng searched for words and was about to explain, when Zhao Xiao came forward and said: "Enough, it was I who proposed to imprison Sang Huazi, you don't need to point to Sang and scold Huai." ”
"Zhao Xiao! If you are willing to come forward, then you can be regarded as daring. Several Fei Lian Pavilion monks gathered over: "There are two fellow practitioners in our pavilion who were killed by the Red Cloud Demon, tell me, how to make amends?" ”
The corner of Zhao Xiao's mouth mentioned: "What?" This also has to be apologized? ”
"Isn't it necessary?" The other party's voice mentioned.
Zhao Xiao retorted unceremoniously: "We are suppressing bandits, not you traveling on the island!" Since you are facing a demon offense, how can you guarantee that there will be no damage? I have already cast a spell to declare that there are demons robbing the prison, since you have chosen to show up and attack, you must be prepared to be defeated and retreated. You are still talking about it here, asking me to apologize? What kind of hysteria is this, stupid to such an extent? ”
The monk of the Feilian Pavilion obviously didn't expect Zhao Xiao's reply to be so harsh, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Zhao Huang simply squirted wildly:
"What's more, you people are doing nothing in Yanzawa City on weekdays. In the past few months, he has almost ignored the suppression of bandits, and he has refused to go to the front line to fight with the bandits, and the epidemic in the city is epidemic, and he is unwilling to use more Fushui pills to save people. Partial life also occupies other people's mansions and enjoys peace. Today's first shot was a loss of manpower, not thinking about self-reflection, but also harsh criticism, moving out of a straight to the sky, wanton reprimand!
The court is not allowed to let you write and publish a document to stir up trouble, you have been blessed by the country for a long time, and your daily use is not the best of the people to worship, and now you don't want to work hard to repay it, what kind of face do you have to ask the people who work hard? There is no certainty in the world, the demon man is strong, and it is common for him to be defeated for a while and there are casualties! Could it be that if you are cut by thieves on the battlefield, you still have to ask them for medicine? Stupidity!! ”
The monk of the Fei Lian Pavilion was sprayed by this series of beaded mouth cannons, and his face turned red and white, and he wanted to refute, but his mouth was stagnant for a while.
"If you want me to apologize and make amends, then first kill three or two demon monks on the battlefield for me!" Zhao Xiao raised his hand and pointed into the distance: "Now that General Wei is leading his army north, he has not gone far, if you want to take revenge on the thieves and demons, it is not too late to rush now!" You all have long legs, and you can still fly in the wind, so you don't need me to call a carriage to deliver it, right? ”
"No, I ...... You ......" the monk of the Fei Lian Pavilion was speechless.
Zhao Xiao waved his hand: "Incoherent, I don't know what you are cultivating on weekdays?" Patronized and drank the northwest wind? If you want to do it, then sacrifice the magic weapon and don't talk nonsense. Fight like this, don't fight, retreat and don't retreat, but why?! ”
Zhao Xiao's last sound, simply mentioned the true qi of the dantian, and the people who approached him only felt that the cheers were like thunder and deafening, and the courage in his heart was gone, so he had to retreat in a gray manner, and he didn't even dare to turn around and stare angrily.
Watching the Fei Lian Pavilion monks walk away, Zhao Xiao glared at the street corner elsewhere, and the rest of the monks stopped watching and left.
"Huh-" Zhao Xiao let out a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart: "I finally fooled these guys away." ”
Zhao Xiao thought of Boss Wu, just now this battle was spraying, he was learning Boss Wu's routine to deal with thieves, but he didn't expect to really force Feilian Pavilion to ask back. This made him feel that there was a lot to be learned from ordinary people, and it depended on whether he could perceive the subtleties and use them.
Wang Juncheng blinked in surprise behind him, he couldn't hold back a smile and stepped forward and said, "Zhao Fu, you ...... It's not like what you look like on a regular basis. ”
Zhao Xiao scratched his head and asked, "What do I look like on weekdays?" What's that like? ”
"Gentle and frugal?"
Zhao Xiao didn't laugh and burst out: "I...... People like me can't talk about these virtues, can they? Lord Wang knew how to make fun of me. ”
Wang Juncheng shook his head and said, "Anyway, Zhao Fuyi has helped me a lot." If these immortals really want to go to the book, my situation is indeed not good. ”
"It's my responsibility, and I can't let Lord Wang face it alone." Zhao Huang crossed his waist and said: "What's more, what I just said is not all angry words, they really don't have the slightest self-awareness. In the past, they were too idle, and when it came to the occasion of the fight, they were at a loss, and they deserved the dead!
The battlefield is already chaotic, there are all kinds of accidents, just now in the torture room, I also narrowly escaped life, but who can I blame? I can only complain that I lack eyesight, my cultivation is not deep, and my magic is not refined. Bad is bad, admit it yourself, and improve it in the future! ”
Wang Juncheng said: "If all the monks in the country are like you...... No, even if there is a third, it is a great fortune for Huaxu. ”
"After all, most of the monks who have come to Xingluo County now are young people who have been taught and practiced before and after the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms, and they lack the tempering on the battlefield, and they are all young children who have been pampered for a long time." When Zhao Xiao said this, he suddenly thought that the monks of the pavilion sent to Xingluo County this time were indeed mainly of the younger generation, was this the result of each family's intention? What is the specific intention? Is it to sharpen and test these young people?
Zhao Xiao suddenly realized that he might have sensed the thoughts of the leaders of the pavilion.
"However, what Zhao Fu said just now is indeed a bit of sophistry." Wang Juncheng said with a smile.
"Oh? Please also ask Lord Wang to teach. Zhao Xiao asked.
"Hmm...... Zhao Fu's official once said, 'I was cut by thieves, and I still have to ask them for medicine', which is slightly inappropriate. Wang Juncheng said with a smile: "This statement is not wrong in isolation, but it was just found by Feilian Pavilion, but it was not to ask the thief for medicine, but to question you and me." Those people were scolded by Zhao Fuzhi and were flustered, and they couldn't hear the reasonableness, so they naturally couldn't refute it. ”
Zhao Xiao nodded retrospectively: "Indeed, if they force me to ask to the end, I will be able to escape the blame, and how much can I be held accountable to the end...... However, at that time, it was necessary to suppress their momentum so that they could do things normally, otherwise the entanglement would be endless. ”
"Not bad." Wang Juncheng said: "So I also agree with what Zhao Fuyi said, these people really don't know what they cultivate on weekdays?" ”
Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "If you talk so much like me, you may not be a Taoist monk." In the eyes of ordinary people, most of the people who cultivate immortals are pure and clean, who will stick to words? Silence is the right thing to do. ”
