The turmoil of Yang Liujun's robbery and rescue quickly subsided, and those Qingluo Mountain thieves who spied on Huaiying Hall in the small courtyard in the east of the city were also captured by the officials, and after some torture and questioning, some of the remaining hidden spies in the city were found out one after another.

This time it was no longer about imprisoning people, nearly 200 Qingluo Mountain thieves were all beheaded, and their heads were hung in the north of the city to show the public, so as to deter the rest of the party.

In fact, Zhao Huang still suspected that there were Chiyundu monks lurking in Yanze City, which was why General Wei chose to take most of the officers and troops away. If every move of the imperial army is spied on by the spies lurking in the city, it may be difficult to advance the matter of suppressing bandits.

And half a month later, news came from Dongshengdu that the king personally inquired about the empty salary of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and executed several ministers and nobles who participated in the matter vigorously, confiscated their family property and used it as military salaries, and immediately mobilized the 20,000 soldiers and horses to march towards Xingluo County.

In any case, this is great news, although the county government has been busy recently, but the morale of the people is much higher, and the past is dull.

As for Zhao Huang himself, he still stayed in Yanze City to assist Wang Juncheng in handling affairs. Occasionally, I also heard about the front-line war, and learned several times that Luo Xixian took the lead and killed several thieves with strong martial arts, and was deeply admired by the soldiers. Zhao Xiao didn't say anything, but he was happy for him in his heart.

Sometimes Zhao Xiao couldn't help but think that maybe it would be best for the two of them to get along separately like this. Xin Shunying's words are not good, but things have to be done this way after all.

In addition, perhaps because of Zhao Xiao's wild spray at the beginning, both Fei Lian and Zhenzhen sent monks to prepare to leave Yanze City to assist the official army in suppressing bandits. Zhao Huang did not hide his selfishness, and taught them the use of the spell to activate the golden armor talisman, and asked them to go to assist the soldiers in front of the battle.

Even if there was a slight dispute before, after all, these monks were going to the front line to fight the thieves, and Zhao Xiao also gave them more instructions: "Fighting on the battlefield is not a monk's fighting method, remember not to rely on spells and spells to make your own claims." Rashly intruding into the enemy's formation and flying in the air at will will be surrounded by the enemy's joint attack because it is too conspicuous. When you get to General Wei's account, listen to his command and dispatch more, which can not only protect yourself, but also help to suppress bandits.

As for the attacks of spirits and demons or the monks of the Red Cloud Capital, you should be on guard against this, do not be brave with your own blood, and try to form a formation when facing the enemy. But at that point, we can't go too far to pursue the demon monks, so as not to enter the trap and ambush, our ultimate goal is to destroy the thieves' lair, and wait for the bandits to be quelled, and the few demon rats can't afford to make waves, so it's not too late to settle accounts with them in the future. ”

Zhao Xiao pushed a whole box of golden armor talismans that had been refined in front of those monks, and there was a wooden box on it: "In the box are the muscle condensation cream and Sanhua Powder refined by the fellow Daoists of the Yunzhu Pavilion, both of which are common prescriptions, so I don't need to teach you how to use them, right?" In addition, if you encounter any spirits, demons, or enemy monks on the battlefield, it is best to record their appearance, shape, and magic skills, and send a letter back to Shiozawa Castle. If it's hard to deal with, we can also try to refine restraint on our side. ”

Those Feilian Pavilion monks who had had quarreled with Zhao Huang before were ashamed, and after they were angrily reprimanded by Zhao Huang, they were quite unconvinced, so they planned to go to the battlefield to win some merits, so that Zhao Huang could open his eyes. Unexpectedly, he hasn't moved yet, and the other party's attitude has changed greatly, and he is embarrassed to say anything if he wants to make a big fuss.

After sending off these monks, Wang Juncheng asked Zhao Xiao: "If they capture and kill a few demons on the battlefield, does Zhao Fu really want to apologize to them?" ”

Zhao Huang replied calmly: "Of course, if they can really abandon that bit of arrogance and honestly kill the demons and thieves on the battlefield, it's too late for me to thank them, why not apologize?" ”

Wang Juncheng said with a smile: "When they have experienced battlefield battles, they will naturally be able to understand Zhao Fu's hard work, and you are thinking about them." ”

"Lord Wang praised it falsely, I don't have so much thought." Zhao Xiao said: "As the adults said at the beginning, the suppression of bandits is the suppression of bandits, and there is no need to have too many senseless considerations. When the follow-up 20,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court arrived in Xingluo County, the situation of suppressing bandits could be greatly improved. ”

Wang Juncheng was silent in thought, his opinion of Zhao Xiao had gradually turned from his past appreciation to amazement. At the beginning, he persuaded Luo Xixian to write a letter to Da Sima in a few words, which caused a shock in the government and the opposition, and several ministers died because of this.

Although Zhao Xiao only played a wedge-like role in it, and the subsequent development of the court had nothing to do with him, it was not simple.

Judging from the experience of the ups and downs of Wangjun Cheng Eun Hai over the years, Zhao Xiao really does not look like the kind of immortal cultivator who admires Xuanqing and rarely takes on mundane affairs, but is more suitable for mixing in the court, and may be able to hold a high position in the future.

What's even more rare is that Zhao Xiao can not only practice with his heart, even if he is faced with things that he is not familiar with, he can even ask Cao Zuo, the lieutenant of the county government, for advice. This is something that the children of those families who do not get their feet dirty and are pampered cannot do.

And considering that he is still a student of the first seat of the Huaiying Pavilion, such an identity has a great future. According to Wang Juncheng's past practice, he should take this opportunity to make friends with Zhao Xiao, and he may be able to rise in his career in the future.

It's a pity that now Wang Juncheng only wants to do a good job of the current bandits, and he doesn't care too much about the future.

"By the way, what's going on over there in the Chongxuan Pavilion?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"Nope." Wang Juncheng sighed: "Maybe I'm glad that Liang Gongzi wasn't in a hurry to make a move at that time, otherwise the immortal general would have been able to split half of Yanze City." ”

Zhao Xiao did not tell Wang Juncheng about the situation of Chongxuan Pavilion, although he didn't like Liang Shuo, it was difficult to frequently summon immortal generals, and it was still not appropriate for too many people to know. In any case, it is still up to this Liang Gongzi to sit in Yanze City.

And unlike other pavilions that began to devote themselves to the suppression of bandits, Chongxuan Pavilion is still the same high-minded and unworldly attitude as it used to be, and it is not easy for outsiders to understand their specific situation.

Back in the small courtyard in the east of the city, Zhao Xiao checked the situation of the Golden Armor Fu Sacrifice.

After obtaining the Jincheng Permanent Seal sent by the stone firelight, the alchemy gold armor talisman is much simpler, and now Zhao Xiao does not need to go to the school every time to open the altar to practice the law, as long as he finds a vacant place in the small courtyard in the east of the city, and sets up the altar with the Jincheng Permanent Seal as the hub, he can collect the Taibai Xingsha and sacrifice the armor piece by himself.

Although this process is far slower than Zhao Xiao's own practice of the Fa, it is better not to spend additional effort and energy, and it is a big deal to arrange people to guard the Dharma altar to prevent demonic violations.

At the beginning, Zhao Xiao also felt that in the future, with this method, he would continue to produce gold armor talismans. However, when the front line sent the armor pieces that had exhausted the effectiveness of the spell back to Yanze City, Zhao Xiao found that the armor pieces themselves were rapidly corroding.

After the stone fire light test, he believed that the golden armor technique of using the discarded armor pieces could only be repeated three or two times at most, and it was impossible to practice and use it endlessly.

Moreover, the armor pieces used by Zhao Huang to sacrifice the alchemy armor were specially selected and contaminated with the ferocious atmosphere of the battlefield, which made Zhao Huang quite difficult, so he had to go to General Wei to tell the truth and ask him to send someone to clean up the battlefield and send the discarded armor pieces to Yanze City.

"Troublesome, in the final analysis, the charm is to temporarily condense the aura of the qi machine, once it is activated, the effect of the spell will be consumed, and even the spiritual materials will be consumed. In the end, just like armour, fighting a war is really a money-burning job. Zhao Xiao stared at the altar and pondered for a long time.

Ling Xiao said: "Ordinary spells are shallow, the spirit rhyme is simple, and it is not a pattern in itself, even if it is not used, the qi rhyme will migrate and dissipate with time. What can really be carried for a long time is the magic weapon. ”

Zhao Xiao sighed and said: "After seeing Yang Liujun's ability, I know that it is difficult to protect myself in front of him with my own cultivation and magic alone. I'm not like Luo Xixian, who can kill the enemy with one person and one sword, and I must rely on all kinds of magic weapons and artifacts. ”

"Learning from each other's strengths is a matter of course." Ling Xiao asked again, "Then what kind of magic weapon do you plan to refine?" ”

Zhao Xiao returned to his room and rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found a jade bracelet at the bottom of the box, which was green and flawless, smooth as water, and he sighed softly after seeing it: "This is left by my mother, and the whole body is carved from Kunlun jade." ”

Ling Xiao said: "The Kunlun jade used in this bracelet is of high quality, it is a chalcedony close to the root of the earth's veins, and it has been deeply condensed by clear qi. You hide such treasures so tightly that even I don't know about them. Your mother's origins are not simple. ”

"She ......" Zhao Xiao was silent for a moment before saying: "She is also a person who cultivates immortals, I heard my father say that her sect was destroyed in the War of the Five Kingdoms, and she was seriously injured, and her cultivation was completely wasted, and she was rescued by her father by chance, and the two formed a fate." However, in my impression, my mother is sick in bed most of the time. ”

Ling Xiao sensed Zhao Xiao's emotions: "You don't seem to miss your mother much. ”

Zhao Xiao pouted and said: "I'm not such a pedantic person, but at that time, the news of my father's death just came, even if it was a few years later, why be so ruthless!" ”

"Why did your mother leave you?"

"Her brother came to the door." Zhao Xiao snorted coldly: "What did you say to revive the sect, and also took refuge in the nobles of Dongshengdu, several people left happily, and it didn't take long for the news of her remarriage." ”

Ling Xiao said, "But she still left this precious jade bracelet to you." ”

"I'd rather not have this jade bracelet, I just hope she can change her mind." Zhao Xiao wiped the corners of his eyes, regrouped his mind and said, "Don't talk about that, I plan to refine magic weapons, do you have any proposals?" ”

"My True Yuan Lock is also made of Kunlun jade. The jade cong is square outside and round inside, taking the meaning of hiding the sky into the earth. Ling Xiao said: "When I first became an immortal Dao, I used the True Yuan Lock to deduce the operation of Hong Jun and the creation of heaven and earth, although I couldn't directly refine the True Yuan Lock into the magic weapon of the immortal family hidden in the cave, but it could also make my true spirit safely reside in it." ”

Zhao Xiao was stunned for a moment: "This kind of thing is too far away for me, I am asking whether to refine it into a magic weapon to attack the enemy or protect oneself." ”

"If it's waiting for idle spiritual materials, it's casual. It is precisely because it is pure gold and jade that it must be carefully crafted. Lingxiao said: "Just as the world's endowments are different, people in the middle and lower do not need to be attentive, and those with outstanding talents should be trained well." ”

"Kind of makes sense."

Ling Xiao pointed and said: "Since it is in the shape of a bracelet, there is no need to modify it drastically, you might as well refine it into a talisman treasure." ”

Zhao Xiao nodded secretly, he used to have a grudge in his heart and didn't want to see this Kunlun jade bracelet again, but now the situation can't help him to lose his temper anymore.

"Kunlun jade itself is a heavenly and earthly treasure formed by the harmony of heaven and earth, and the flow of pure qi and downward flow." Ling Xiao began to explain: "Therefore, if you use Kunlun jade to refine into a magic weapon, you don't need to additionally hook the variegated qi, but you need to cultivate it with your own true temperature, and first achieve the sympathetic exchange between the two qi and qi before you can proceed to the next step...... It's not that hard for you. ”

Zhao Xiao pondered: "This sounds very close to Luo Xixian's sword immortal method?" When he was cultivating, he also absorbed the sword, condensed his true qi into sword qi, and exchanged the hundred veins and sword weapons in his body. In addition to strengthening the qi, it is also to sharpen the body and sword weapons, and finally reach the level of unity of human and sword, and even be able to transform into sword light and fly. ”

Ling Xiao was critical: "This kind of sword immortal method is to seek the power of the edge, not the way of longevity. It is said that man and sword are one, but in my opinion, it is refining people into swords. What I teach you is the opposite, not that the physical body is tempered by the qi of external objects, but that the pure qi in the Kunlun jade is condensed into the true qi that comes out of the same vein as yourself. If you seek immortal immortality in the future, the magic weapon will be the same as you, and all qualities will be transformed, and the wonderful effects of the sacrifice will completely become a part of you. ”

"Wow, that's amazing?" Zhao Xiao also yearned for this when he heard this.

"Continuing with what I just mentioned, after the sympathetic exchange of qi and machine, you will be like refining qi and storing spirits, pushing true qi and thinking about talismans in the jade bracelet, so as to condense the qi rhyme, condense the technique, and stay in the jade bracelet like a brand." Ling Xiao said.

Zhao Xiao understood: "That is to say, it is similar to the way of the True Qi Book Talisman, but it is not a simple blowing of the True Qi Book Talisman, but at the same time of sympathy with the jade bracelet qi machine, the hundred veins in the body and the jade bracelet qi machine move with it, and the brain palace is thinking about the talisman and the jade bracelet spirit rhyme outline and form." ”

"The perception is not bad." Lingxiao praised.

Zhao Xiao looked at the jade bracelet: "But with this jade bracelet containing pure and pure qi, just thinking about the golden armor technique is a bit overkill?" ”

Ling Xiao said: "This jade bracelet is not the armor piece you picked up, it is hidden deep in the earth's veins, and it has accumulated years of clear air, and it is not enough to make the best use of a golden armor technique." What's more, the higher your cultivation and the longer you practice, the more magic the jade bracelet itself can carry inside and outside. ”

"I remember, isn't this the natal magic weapon that Cui Huanggong of the Bear Country said?" Zhao Xiao slapped his thigh.

"Natal magic weapon? This is also a bit appropriate. Ling Xiao said: "Since you are destined, of course you have to choose the technique you are most familiar with, although I also have a talisman magic method here, but in a hurry, you are afraid that you will not be able to learn it." ”

Zhao Xiao shook his head and sighed: "I haven't learned a bunch of advanced techniques you taught before, and I'm afraid I'll be dazzled if I teach anything else." ”

Lingxiao is an ancient immortal, and after a long period of accumulation, there is naturally no shortage of advanced techniques, but this does not mean that Zhao Xiao can get a glimpse of the mysteries.

"It's best if you understand that." Ling Xiao said: "Don't waste time, start cultivating the jade bracelet now, and I will guide you to act and think." ”
