Chapter 68: A Dream Back to the Past
"Since you like it, take it all away!" Hengbi Gong waved his hand.
Zhao said: "This is not appropriate, is it? What's more, these divine irons are difficult to carry. ”
Hengbi Gong picked one up and pondered for a moment: "It's okay!" It's hard to say anything else, this thing is in and out of the leylines without hindrance, this seat will bring it back to Yanze City, and the little friend will call the car and pull the horse away. ”
Zhao Xiao waved his hand: "Since the gods said that those who see it have a share, it is not good for Xiao Zhao to take them all." ”
Hengbi Gong fiddled with it and divided the Lingwen Shentie into two piles: "One person and half, and the extra one also belongs to Xiaoyou." ”
Zhao Xiao originally came to witness Tie Gong's ascension, where did he expect such a good thing? Even if he had seen many heavenly and earthly treasures from the pavilion, it was unprecedented to obtain twenty spiritual iron at once.
The value of these spiritual texts and divine iron can no longer be measured by worldly gold and silver wealth. The relics of the immortal family alone are enough to become the treasure of those immortal sects in the past, and it is the object of worship by the disciples of later generations, and it is a great blasphemy to be refined and consumed as a treasure of heaven and earth.
"Don't be tied down." Hengbi said: "The income of this seat is more than that of Xiaozhao, not to mention this Kunlun jade pedestal, the surrounding mountains and forests are also ignited by the fairy spirit, and it is also a blessed land in the future." ”
Zhao Xiao couldn't help nodding, he was still thinking about the immortal family's ascension, whether he would just leave and leave nothing. Now it seems that just the ascension itself, the people who witness it will benefit greatly, and the place where the ascension will also be contaminated with the pure qi of the immortals, maybe the surrounding plants, trees, birds and beasts will become spiritual.
"It's a pity that Xiaoyou has no intention of staying in Xingluo County for a long time, otherwise he will serve as a temple in the City God's Temple, and by the way, he will dig a cave here, and he will not be able to open a sect in the future!" Hengbi did not hide the meaning of retention.
"I can't decide the matter of the temple blessing." Zhao Huang thought that Wang Juncheng would resign to avoid trouble, and the Chenghuang Temple wished this position, and Chongxuan Hall was afraid that Zhao Huang would not be able to do it.
In the middle of the night, Hengbi Gong took Zhao Huang and a bunch of Lingwen Shentie, and once again launched the method of shrinking the land and returning directly to the City God Temple. Zhao Xiao found Shi Huoguang, who also didn't like the banquet, brought the carriage and horses, and launched his own mighty power to carry these heavy divine iron onto the carriage.
"Where did you get these things?" Shi Huoguang glanced back: "Could it be that it was stolen from the City God Temple?" ”
"Of course not." Zhao Xiao held the wheel, raised his head and exhaled: "Just take it as the revenge of the Huaiying Pavilion for the hard work of the bandits." ”
Shi Huoguang found that Zhao Xiao blew out a wisp of true qi, forming a talisman in mid-air, and was sucked back by Zhao Huang after a few strokes.
"You've improved your cultivation again?" Shi Huoguang asked in surprise.
Zhao Xiao smiled: "If you have an occasional adventure, I'll tell you later." ”
……
In the early morning of the next day, all the pavilions gathered on the outskirts of the city, Wang Juncheng led the county government Cao officials out of the city to see them off, and Zhao Xiao and other Huaiying Pavilion monks also set off to return.
And Luo Xixian was ordered to follow General Wei and rushed directly to Dongshengdu, so naturally he would not be with Zhao Xiao and others.
Zhao Xiao looked at Xin Shunying, who said goodbye to Luo Xixian, and wanted to step forward, but Liang Tao's original words openly broke Zhao Xiao's intention and regenerated the gap between the two.
What's more, now that Luo Xixian is proud, he is about to soar when he goes to Dongsheng, if he has a close relationship with Zhao Xiao, the "sinister villain" who intends to change the court several times, I am afraid it will not be good for him.
Until Luo Xixian galloped away, Zhao Xiao did not say goodbye, and the two may have parted ways.
The carriage and horse went south, all the way without incident, and finally returned to the Huaiying Pavilion safely, Zhao Xiao was still unloading the goods, and a waiter came over and said: "Zhao Fu, there are guests who ask to see you, saying that they are looking for you, and they have been waiting for many days in the guest house outside the museum." ”
Zhao Xiao was about to wash up and rest, and when he heard this, he had to ask the waiter to invite the guest.
The person who came looked mediocre, looked respectful, and looked like a servant from a wealthy family.
"The villain is the steward of the Hou Mansion of Anyang in Dongsheng Capital, but Your Excellency is the Immortal Chief of Huaiying Pavilion?"
"It's me, yes." When Zhao Xiao heard the Hou Mansion of Anyang, he suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
I saw the steward of Nahou Mansion hand out a letter and said in a low voice: "The villain was ordered to come to inform the immortal chief that the Lingtang Wu family died of illness in late spring, please mourn." ”
Zhao Xiao's expression froze, and a warm blood suddenly surged in his heart, he forcibly pressed it, his fingers clenched the letter, and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Well, why did her mother suddenly die? ”
"Ling Tang has been sick for three years, the medicine stone is ineffective, and Hou Ye has invited famous doctors in many ways, but nothing has been achieved." The steward of the Hou Mansion said.
Shi Huoguang was also packing up nearby, and when he saw Zhao Xiao's face change, he stopped talking.
"What else do you have to say, say it quickly!" Zhao Xiao closed his eyes and said.
The steward of the Hou Mansion bowed his head and replied: "Master Hou said, Lingtang has been buried, and Immortal Zhao can go to pay tribute at any time." In addition, Hou Ye planned to meet Zhao Xianchang. If you don't have time at the moment, you can visit the Hou Mansion with this letter. ”
"Gone?" Zhao Xiao frowned.
"No, the rest is in the letter, and the villain doesn't know." The steward of the Hou Mansion said.
"You...... Let's go. Zhao Xiao waved his hand casually, turned around abruptly, Shi Huoguang looked at him slowly, and before he could take a few steps, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fainted and fell to the ground.
……
In the haze, Zhao Xiao found himself sitting in a pile of books, with a volume of "Bird Seal Interpretation" in his hand, and its Chinese characters seemed to come alive, jumping on the page, and a light cough came from his ears.
"Mother?" Zhao Xiao put down the scroll and walked to the bed obediently, and a woman leaned against the table and looked out the window.
"What's wrong with Ah Yan?" The woman turned her head, but her face was blurred.
Zhao Xiao didn't think it was strange, and suddenly said with interest: "Does mother want to go out?" Today the sun is just right, neither hot nor cold. Why don't I help you out to breathe? I'm always stuffy in the house, and my body can't get better after all. ”
The woman smiled and asked, "Are you lazy?" After your grandfather comes back, he will have to take the school homework, and he is not afraid that he will smoke your handboard? ”
Zhao Xiao wiped his nose proudly: "It's okay, I have memorized all the scriptures that extinguish the fire and stabilize the stove." ”
The woman couldn't resist Zhao Xiao's persuasion, so she had to be helped by him to the courtyard outside the house. I happened to see a few pots of peonies placed next to the wall, but the buds were hanging low, the branches were wilting, and she looked sick, and the woman sighed slightly.
"Mother, don't worry." Zhao Xiao came to the edge of the flower pot, crossed his waist with a smile and said, "Look at my hand!" ”
I saw Zhao Xiao's finger tip handed to his lips, recited a mantra, drew out a wisp of subtle qi, and blew it on the bud with his finger, and saw the low-hanging and wilting bud rise up and bloom slowly.
"Mother, look!" Zhao Xiao said proudly: "How is it? My cultivation mana isn't bad, is it? ”
The woman smiled and shook her head: "This is just a trick by the charlatans to fool the people. ”
Zhao Xiao puffed out his face and said: "It's really not good, I'll just go to be a Jianghu warlock and fool those rich people!" ”
"Don't tell your grandfather this, otherwise it won't just be a handshake." The woman looked at the bud and sighed: "This flower is planted in a pot and placed next to the wall, and it will not be nourished by the sun and rain for a long time, and it will inevitably decay. If you use this spell to force the flowering, you are afraid that you will exhaust its shallow vitality, and tomorrow the whole pot of flowers will wither. ”
"Huh? So what to do? Zhao Xiao was taken aback.
The woman said helplessly: "Don't do it, life and death are normal physical conditions, and I will have the day to leave." ”
"Nope! Mother don't leave! Zhao Xiao stepped forward and hugged the woman, but she pounced.
The scenery changed, it was still hazy and dark, Zhao Xiao found himself lying on the bed, unable to move, and there was a faint sound of conversation in his ears-
The old man said, "Ah Huang has been crying for several days, and I have performed a spell to make him sleep. ”
"Thank you, father-in-law." The woman said.
"Don't call me that." The old man seemed to be restraining his anger: "When we meet in the future, I may call you Mrs. Hou!" ”
"I know that my father-in-law is annoyed with me and thinks that I am cold-hearted." The woman said: "But in addition to being the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, I am also the heir of Xuanpu Hall. Now that I know the whereabouts of the Xuanpu Jade Book, and I have been found by the same door in the past, it is impossible for me to be indifferent. ”
The old man said earnestly: "The system of the Huaxu State Pavilion has been decided, anyone can understand it, but now there is no room for sects, why do you have to stick to the old ways?" I am an old friend of Zhang Duanjing, the first building of Huaiying Pavilion, and I am preparing to go to take refuge, if you go together, you may be able to take up the teaching position, and you can also revive the inheritance of Xuanpu Hall? ”
"Father-in-law, do you think the system of the pavilion is reliable and reliable?" The woman said: "This is nothing more than the fact that the Chongxuan Pavilion is looting in the name of the new system, and taking the opportunity to collect many immortal inheritances and magic weapons and pills. Chongxuanguan sits as big as a sit, and it is destined not to be liked by people. The lord of the country has recently ascended the throne, and he is lacking the right hand to help check and balance the Chongxuan Pavilion, and I have also been secretly recruited by Mrs. Zhu Zi this time, and I ask my father-in-law not to worry. ”
The old man's tone was depressed: "Ziliang's soul is not far away, Ah Huang is not yet an adult, what will Ah Huang think in his heart when you leave?" ”
The woman did not answer for a long time, and the old man said angrily, "Go! There you go! Don't come back! If you die one day, Ah Huang will not go to your wake! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiao kept struggling, trying to break the darkness in front of him. It seems that as long as he wakes up, he can keep his mother by his side.
The voice gradually faded away, and the sensations in the limbs of the body quickly returned, Zhao Xiao suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted, "Don't go!" ”
The shouts echoed around, and Zhao Xiao looked around with tears in the corners of his eyes, and found that he had returned to his dormitory for some reason, and it was dark all around.
"Dreaming?"
The door curtain moved lightly, and Zhang Duanjing walked into the room with a candle flame.
"Teacher?" Zhao Xiao wiped away his tears and was about to get out of bed, when Zhang Duanjing raised his hand and signaled:
"No, just sit."
Zhao Xiao sat on the bed and took the initiative to ask, "I heard that the teacher, you went to the Jiaoyu Cave to strengthen the seal?" ”
"yes, just came back." Zhang Duanjing's expression was solemn: "I have heard about your mother's affairs, what are your plans?" ”
"I ...... I do not know. Zhao Xiao covered his face with his hand, and he suddenly found that he couldn't remember his mother's face in his dream.
Zhang Duanjing found a chair and sat down, and changed the topic without changing his face: "When you were asleep, I took your pulse and found that your cultivation has improved. Later, I asked Shi Huoguang, I heard that you brought back a batch of heavenly treasures? ”
"Those Lingwen Divine Iron?" Zhao Huang thought about it again and again, and still chose to inform the teacher of his experience before and after meeting Tie Gong and witnessing Tie Gong's ascension.
Zhang Duanjing pondered for a long time when he heard this, and tapped his fingers on the case: "Seeing the ascension is your immortal fate." However, you said that you were going with Hengbi Gong, which surprised me. In this case, you can first talk about your experience before and after in Starfall County. ”
Zhao Xiao nodded yes, in addition to swearing to Hengbi Gong not to reveal the collapse of the Qingya Fairyland, his various experiences in Xingluo County were roughly repeated to the teacher. Even found out that Master Fang was the Chiyun Du, and then used the golden water shape method to plot against Liang Shuo, assisted Hengbi Immortal to remove his name from the Fa Gong, and secretly signaled Liang Shuo to enshrine him as the City God and so on, and told the teacher without reservation.
This in-depth conversation lasted from midnight to dawn, and Zhang Duanjing did not have any praise or disapproval of Zhao Xiao's approach except for occasional inquiries about details.
"Teacher, am I doing something wrong again?" Zhao Xiao saw that Zhang Duanjing did not show a happy smile, and asked nervously.
Zhang Duanjing was noncommittal and asked, "Do you really want to go to Chongxuan Pavilion?" ”
Zhao Xiao bowed his head in frustration, he didn't know how to answer. It is not appropriate for Zhenyuan Suo to disclose this matter to others, but he contradicted Liang Tao before, if he really went to Chongxuan Pavilion, he would definitely not end well.
"Did you meet anyone in the white-fronted prince's cave mansion?"
Zhang Duanjing's sudden question frightened Zhao Xiao's face to change, he lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, Zhang Duanjing continued: "I'm not unaware, after I first discovered the Bai'an Gongdong Mansion, you once fainted inexplicably. Later, Liang Guoshi led the people of Chongxuanguan to occupy the cave mansion and forcibly plundered everything inside. Since then, you've been asking for ways to get into the Chonggenkan and asking me for a recommendation. ”
Only then did Zhao Xiao realize that his actions were so eye-catching. And with the teacher's experience and vision, he can detect that Zhao Xiao has had an adventure, which is very ordinary.
"Do I have to explain it to the teacher?" Zhao Xiao hurriedly asked Lingxiao.
Ling Xiao said: "If you want to worship the Chongxuan Pavilion now, I'm afraid it will not be easy. You can reveal a little about the True Yuan Lock to Zhang Duanjing, but don't show my existence. ”
Zhao Huang had an idea, and said to Zhang Duanjing: "Teacher, when I touched a magic weapon in the cave, there seemed to be a wisp of remnant soul of Bai Egong in it, so I realized his original technique, but I didn't get it all. ”
"So you're going to go to the Chongxuan Pavilion and retrieve the Immortal Scripture Magic Weapon of the White Forehead?" Zhang Duanjing asked.
"Yes." Zhao Xiao was secretly glad that because of the "Divine Tiger Hidden Text" taught by Ling Xiao, he was able to take out the white-fronted duke as a cover, and at the same time hurriedly found the bamboo basket next to the bed and found the wrong golden tiger talisman from it.
"By the way, there's also this Yinhu Order." Zhao Xiao picked up the tiger talisman and changed the topic: "At the beginning, I also got the guidance of Tie Gong, saying that I wanted to practice with the technique of Bai Gong, but I didn't achieve anything, and I asked the teacher to guide me. ”
When Zhang Duanjing saw Yinhu Ling, his expression changed slightly, and he sighed: "This thing actually let you find it." ”
