After Anyang Hou and Zhao Huang said goodbye, Xin Taicheng pondered for a long time, pinching his fingers and calculating, but in the end his face was full of confusion.

"Father, what's wrong?" Xin Shunying asked in a low voice.

Xin Taicheng secretly pinched his fingers, retracted his voice and didn't let the words come out, and looked left and right before saying: "This Zhao Xiao's numerology qi number is mysterious and strange, which is incomprehensible. ”

"Father also thinks Zhao Huang is weird?" Xin Shunying said: "At the beginning, I did a little calculation in Xingluo County and found that this person has a fairy fate. Later, Liang Guoshi killed the leader of the rebel party, and all the monks of the Zhenzhen Pavilion who accompanied him died, and only Zhao Xiao survived. ”

Xin Taicheng asked: "Huaiying Pavilion and Chongxuan Pavilion have always been incompatible, why do you think that Liang Guoshi is sheltering Zhao Huang?" ”

"I'm not talking about Liang Guoshi." Xin Shunying said: "Father, do you remember what I told you about Chenghuang Hengbigong? This magic immortal general is likely to have been deceived by Zhao Xiao's design. No matter how incompetent Liang Shuo is, it is impossible for the Heavenly Blue Cliff True Monarch to turn a blind eye to this, right? There's got to be weird about that. ”

Xin Taicheng's face was solemn: "Do you think that the Liang Immortal Ancestor is disgusted with future generations, but has taken a fancy to Zhao Xiao?" ”

"I don't dare to speculate on Xianzhen's thoughts, but compared to characters like Liang Shuo, Zhao Xiao is indeed worth cultivating." Xin Shunying said.

Xin Taicheng looked at his daughter: "Listening to what you say, it seems that you appreciate Zhao Huang a lot?"

Xin Shunying said: "After all, Zhao Huang is a student of Zhang Shouzuo, and the bandits in Xingluo County are pacified, so he has a lot to do with him. Although I persuaded Luo Xixian to avoid him, I did not deny that Zhao Xiao was better in some things. ”

Xin Taicheng's expression became serious: "You are a person who is about to get married, don't talk nonsense about some things, and you should be cautious in your words and deeds in the future." is good at taking advantage of the people, and the mouth must be tightened, otherwise the disaster will come out of the mouth. ”

"My daughter remembered." Xin Shunying smiled: "But when you talk to your father, you don't need to be too taboo." ”

Xin Taicheng still looked around vigilantly, and then found a place to avoid people's eyes and sat down: "It's true that Zhao Huang has an immortal fate, and I can see it, but it shouldn't be Qingya Zhenjun...... There is one thing that is also time to tell you, but you don't want to spread it, and don't even tell Luo Xixian. ”

Xin Shunying nodded cautiously, and Xin Taicheng said: "You should know that the stars in the sky are really somewhat mysteriously related to the Dao Immortals. Since I took up the post of Qin Tiantai, I have been stargazing for a long time, and I found that the stars corresponding to the true monarch of Qingya are obscure, and after comparing them with the notes of my ancestors, I found that there is a phenomenon of star loss and dislocation of the host and guest, I am afraid ......"

"Could it be that Qingya Zhenjun has been robbed and fallen?" Xin Shunying tensed.

"It's hard to say." Xin Taicheng's face was slightly gloomy: "In order to confirm this matter, I spent several years repeatedly observing. Later, I accidentally discovered that whenever Liang Guoshi retreated in the Dilung Mountain to practice or open the furnace for alchemy, the stars of the Qingya True Monarch would faintly shine, and the sky above the Dilung Mountain would also shake. ”

"Isn't this a rebellion and aggression?" Xin Shunying asked.

"Even if it's not, it's not far off." Xin Taicheng said: "The trouble is that I found out that Liang Guoshi may have already traveled back and forth to the Cave Heaven Immortal Family Realm, so I wonder if he wants to replace the Qingya True Monarch and dominate the Cave Heaven Immortal Realm." ”

"It is not surprising that Liang Guoshi will be able to ascend to immortality in the future." Xin Shunying asked: "It's just that my daughter doesn't understand, since Liang Guoshi has such a realm, why do she still detain the worldly customs and meddle in the affairs of the court?" ”

Xin Taicheng sighed and said: "Our candidate can calculate the good fortune and evil, but we may not be able to see through the hearts of the people in the world, let alone a master who will become an immortal?" So after you married Luo Xixian, you went to Xingluo County with him and tried to avoid dangerous variables. ”

Xin Shunying bowed her head and was silent, she could also sense that there were strange clouds in the court now, and a great turmoil was quietly brewing.

"By the way, when you were in Starfall County before, did you ever hear about the Immortal Family's ascension?" Xin Taicheng asked.

"Immortal Ascension?" Xin Shunying was taken aback: "My daughter has never heard of this matter, and she can't see the weather changes." In the chaotic situation of the Starfall County, there are still people who have soared? ”

"When I was stargazing a few days ago, I found a star that I had never seen before, and the aura of the stars was quite majestic." Xin Taicheng said: "Although the Dao Immortal Family jumped out of the established numerology qi number, it is not the art of fortune that can be grasped, but I can also speculate a little, and finally found that this Flying Immortal Family is somewhat involved with Panlong Mountain. In the future, when you and Luo Xixian go to Xingluo County, you might as well pay a little attention, and you may be able to discover the earthly treasures of the cave after the immortal family ascended. ”

"Yes." Xin Shunying paused: "It's just that my father said this, and I suddenly thought of Zhao Xiao." Isn't it related to him again? ”

Xin Taicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't say anything related, even if you can witness the ascension of the immortal family, it is a great opportunity that is unique in the world." If it is not a disciple's descendant, his words and deeds are very much in line with the wishes of the immortals. If it's really related to Zhao Xiao......"

"Father, why don't I go and find out Zhao Xiao's tone." Xin Shunying asked.

"Forget it, run alone to find another man at this time, I still want this old face!" Xin Taicheng straightened his face: "Go directly to Zhao Xiao, he probably won't say." It just so happened that the first seat of Huaiying Pavilion was still in the capital, so I took the time to ask him. ”

……

"Madam Zhu Zi said that she will send a disciple to the Jinding Division later to assist you in taking care of your affairs."

On the way back to the Hou Mansion, the Marquis of Anyang said to Zhao Xiao in the carriage: "In addition, the Feather Pavilion hopes to create a batch of talisman armor, which is best as effective as the Golden Armor Technique, and is light and durable. I don't know if you have a clue? ”

Zhao Xiao said while thinking: "If you engrave the talisman seal on the armor according to the way of sacrificing talisman soldiers, you may be able to try, but this seems to be very different from the weaving art of the Yuyi Pavilion. Moreover, as long as the number of magic objects is large, it is impossible for their magic effects to last for a long time. ”

An Yanghou said: "How to do it, you will discuss it with them at that time." Mrs. Zhu Zi also attaches great importance to the Jinding Division, if she does it well, she will be able to let the lord of the country posthumously recognize Ling Zun's merits, and also make up for your title. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't have much interest in the title, and as for recognizing his father's military exploits, it was nothing more than a sentence from the lord of the country.

"What? Not enough? Seeing that Zhao Xiao was silent, Anyang Hou said again: "By the way, I heard that Luo Xixian is about to get married, and your affairs can't be delayed." ”

"Thank you Uncle Shi for your kindness, I don't want to do this now." Zhao Xiao replied, "Except for the affairs of the Golden Ding Division, I just want to concentrate on cultivation. ”

Anyang Hou said earnestly: "Your parents have died, and as an elder, it is impossible for me to watch you alone." What's more, a young man like you doesn't have to worry about a good couple and a beautiful woman. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't answer, he couldn't refute Anyang Hou, but he vaguely felt that the other party was planning to envelop himself and his teacher Zhang Duanjing through marriage. If you say that you have good intentions, Anyang Hou should have it, but it will not be completely scheming.

"By the way, I don't know about the magic weapon of the white-fronted Gong Yucong, does Uncle Shi have eyebrows?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"If you want to hear the news of Chongxuan Pavilion, you can't do it casually, please relax your mind and wait for good news." Anyang Hou said.

Since the other party said so, Zhao Huang didn't want to ask more, and he could only focus on the affairs of Jinding Division at the moment.

……

Dozens of miles southeast of Dongshengdu, the beautiful and handsome Dilung Mountain stretches in twists and turns, looking at a piece of green, the light purple smoke rising from the mountains makes people unable to distinguish whether it is the cloud and mist mountain Lan or the Danxia furnace incense, in short, to the already ethereal and dusty Dilung Mountain, wrapped in a layer of hazy artistic conception.

In the depths of the secluded mountains and forests, Liang Tao lived alone in the bamboo hall, looking at a map of the mountains and rivers of Huaxu Country in front of him, pondering for a long time, and occasionally looking down at a simple atlas in his hand, which was painted by Zhao Huang in Xingluo County for the arrangement of the mandala ritual.

Liang Tao stared at it for a long time, flicked his fingers and burned the atlas, an illusory light and shadow floated in his palm, raised his hand and led it to the map. In the picture, the area of Xingluo County twists and changes, and the whole map of mountains and rivers suddenly comes alive, and there are faint clues and veins emerging, which stretch and stretch, resembling the seal characters of the map.

However, halfway through the change, it suddenly stopped, as if it had encountered obstruction, and the qi and spirit could not function, and it collapsed on its own.

"It's a pity that the Tianxia Dynasty fell apart, and it was impossible to hold the Wufang Welcoming Spirit Sacrifice in Wudu, and it was a great hindrance to completely control the heaven and earth qi of Huaxu Kingdom." Liang Tao looked at Yu Tuyan and said: "It's just that the Tianxia Dynasty and the group of praise officials, all of them are ancient people, Tianxia is dead, in order to resist Xuanju, almost all of them died in the emperor's capital, and even burned the library with a fire, completely cutting off the inheritance." Celebrant and ceremonial priest ......"

Just as Liang Tao was pondering, the bronze crane in the room made a crisp sound, and a woman's cold voice came from inside: "Master, Jing Shi asks to see." ”

Liang Tao didn't say a word, and gently flicked the instructions, and at the same time, the map scroll in the house was like a living thing, sorting it out and putting it away.

A moment later, a woman came outside the bamboo hall, she was tall and slender, with slender limbs, a black dress that looked sharp and compelling, phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, thin lips and snow skin, but her face was expressionless and her expression was cold, which made people feel difficult to get close to.

The woman in black bowed her head, Liang Tao appeared, and said, "Say, what news did you hear?" ”

The black-clothed woman's voice was cold: "After the secret conversation between the Marquis of Anyang and Madam Zhu Zi, the Feather Pavilion will send a disciple to the Jinding Division. ”

Liang Tao disagreed: "This Anyang Hou is left and right. Who else is involved besides the Feather Pavilion? ”

"In addition, there are a group of monks and guests who serve the Marquis of Anyang, namely Xuanpu Hall, Qingyun Cave, and Jishitan."

"The other two factions are all native chickens and dogs, as for Xuanpu Hall...... There is no such thing as a superior person anymore. Liang Tao pondered for a long time, and muttered to himself: "Anyang Hou, Zhang Duanjing, and Zhu Ziwen colluded together to set up the Jinding Division, not for that little magic elixir, but to join hands and squeeze out my Chongxuan Pavilion step by step." Jing Shi, what do you think? ”

"I will see what the master thinks." The tone of the woman in black was not flattering or flattering, and it was as cold as ever.

"The Marquis of Anyang is just an ordinary man, it is okay to invite guests and make friends with monks, and he can't interfere with the specific refining of magic pills, and he must be led by a trusted person." Liang Tao asked: "But if Zhang Duanjing is in charge, then the Jinding Division will become the sole government office of the Huaiying Pavilion, and the lord of the country will not let this kind of thing go." Who else is in charge of the Jinding Division? ”

Jing Shi replied, "The Marquis of Anyang handed over all the affairs of the department to a Fu assistant named Zhao Huang, who was a student of Zhang Duanjing. ”

"Zhao Xiao?" Liang Tao was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the Jinding Division has now begun to recruit monks from various pavilions, and all of them must first go through Zhao Xiao's verification and examination, and then assign different positions according to their strengths." Jing said truthfully.

"Oh, interesting." Liang Tao stood with his hands in his hands, and smiled subtlely: "It seems that Zhang Duanjing intends to cultivate this person." Luo Xixian is sharp, and he has a father who is the great Sima of the dynasty, and even the lord of the country praises him, but it is this Zhao Huang who really controls the key position. ”

Liang Tao thought for a moment, then asked, "I remember asking you to explore Zhao Xiao's origin before, but there was a result?" ”

"It's already rough." Jing Shi replied: "Zhao Wei was born in the Xuanwu Zhao family, his ancestors served as Tianxia Praise Officials, and his grandfather Zhao Wei moved away from his family due to the war, and later was sheltered by the Huaiying Pavilion, and Zhao Huang himself also studied in the Huaiying Pavilion. ”

"Salute Officer?" Liang Tao was greatly inspired, and said secretly in his heart: "This makes sense!" The Zhao family must have fled from the imperial capital with many rituals of the Tianxia Dynasty, and passed it to Zhao Huang in a single vein, no wonder he could come up with such prayer rituals!

Zhang Duanjing, I underestimated you, I hid such a good seedling so deeply, and now I am inserting him in the Jinding Division, hoping to use the Tianxia ritual he is familiar with to show that Huaxu is the orthodoxy of Tianxia? ”

Jing Shi below bowed her head and said nothing, she was a dead soldier raised by Liang Tao, and in addition to teaching immortal methods, she did things such as spying, surveillance, and assassination for Liang Tao, and she did not belong to the Chongxuan Pavilion, or even to the Yongjia Liang family. A group of dead soldiers, including Jing Shi, were only loyal to Liang Tao. The master doesn't speak, and she doesn't speak.

"What about Zhao Xiao's parents?" Liang Tao asked again.

"His father, Zhao Ziliang, was also a monk of Huaiying Pavilion and was killed in the Great War of the Five Kingdoms." Jing Shiyan said: "There is little news about his mother Wu, only that she remarried to the Marquis of Anyang in her early years and died of illness not long ago. Zhao Xiao came to Dongshengdu this time to worship his mother. ”

Liang Tao pondered for a long time when he heard this, and suddenly smiled: "That's fine...... Isn't the Jinding Division planning to recruit monks from various pavilions? They also have no reason to refuse my Chongxuan Pavilion people. I will arrange for some people to go to the Jinding Division, and Jing Shi, you will also go with you, as a disciple of the Chongxuan Pavilion. ”

Liang Tao took out a talisman out of thin air: "You go to the lower hall with this order and look for Liang Dongyou, he naturally understands what to do." ”

Jing Shi took the talisman and asked again, "What do I need to do when I get to the Jinding Division?" ”

"Focus on surveillance, especially Zhao Xiao, but don't behave too aggressively." Liang Tao said: "You have refined the ink sword dagger, and you are also familiar with the runes, so you can use this as a stepping stone, which is enough to pass Zhao Xiao's examination." ”

"Yes."

"In addition, don't care what other people think, the affairs given to you by Zhao Xiao, you try your best to complete them, and it is best to gain his trust." Liang Tao added: "If someone is secretly unfavorable to him, you can deal with it directly." ”

After letting Jing Shi retreat, Liang Tao returned to the bamboo hall, raised his sleeves to show the map of mountains and rivers, and said to himself: "You must speed up your movements." ”
