"Kunlun jade is precious, and the spell is written in a fine way on the jade, and it has to be enchanted after it is inserted into the blade." Zhao Xiao shook his head and said, "This kind of talisman is too precious, and it may not be too useful. If it is really distributed to ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that someone will dismantle the Kunlun jade and replace it with gold and silver in the blink of an eye. ”

Shi Huoguang said: "This kind of jade-inlaid talisman cannot be sacrificed in large quantities, so it will not be distributed to ordinary soldiers. However, the lieutenant generals in the army have high positions and powers, and they also need divine weapons to protect themselves on the battlefield, so it is just right for them. ”

"That's right, even if it's not used for battlefield fighting, it can be used as a treasure to watch and play." Zhao Xiao remembered that he had seen a lot of exquisite ornaments in the Hou Mansion of Anyang, and it was not uncommon for the noble collection of famous swords and swords in the capital.

Considering that the first batch of talisman soldiers made by the priest of Jinding should be seen by the lord of the country, the sword inlaid with Kunlun jade is luxurious and exquisite, and it is indeed easier to please the lord of the country.

"Zheng Daoyou, what do you think?" Zhao Xiao looked at Zheng Siyuan.

"Huh? Deacon Zhao asked me? Zheng Siyuan hadn't reacted yet.

Zhao Xiao handed the talisman soldier inlaid with Kunlun jade at the end of the handle to Zheng Siyuan, and said: "Don't be restrained, Jinding Division is practical, and the pros and cons are straightforward." ”

Zheng Siyuan took the talisman and looked at it carefully for a moment, and then the moment he held the handle of the knife with his five fingers, his face changed slightly, and he could see that the blade of the knife was covered with a faint white glow, as if the monk was on it, and there was a flowing wind surrounding it when it waved.

"Can I give it a try?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

Zhao Xiao took two steps back and motioned for him to swing his knife in the clearing. Zheng Siyuan held his breath and condensed, holding the talisman knife in his hand, and a wind blade with a hissing sound went straight to two zhang away.

"How?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Zheng Siyuan was a little amazed: "Taking the wind as a blade, is this the technique of the Feilian Pavilion?" ”

Zhao Xiao looked at the stone firelight, and the other party replied, "I did refer to the method of resisting the wind in the Feilian Pavilion. However, their technique is to use the cultivation of wind breath as the foundation of cultivation, and they can condense the flowing wind into a wind knife and wind arrow like a substance, and easily shoot a hundred zhang away. The talisman knife I refined could not condense the flowing wind, and the power of the wind blade could only reach two or three zhang. ”

"For ordinary soldiers who don't have mana cultivation, this kind of power is enough." Zhao Xiao turned his head to look at Zheng Siyuan: "Do you think this talisman knife is higher or lower than Zheng Tunan's Hongming knife?" ”

Zheng Siyuan's face was stunned: "I don't understand what Deacon Zhao means. ”

"Didn't Zheng Tu Nan show off his portable sword in public before? You are out of the Zheng clan with him, you should know something. Zhao Xiao smiled and said, "I just asked casually, Zheng Daoyou doesn't have to be reluctant." ”

Zheng Siyuan returned the talisman knife, bowed his head and said, "Brother's Hongming knife is a relic of my father. ”

Zhao Xiao let out a soft "oh", didn't say anything more, and asked instead: "Zheng Daoyou's previous technique of refining arrows, I don't know which way the immortal family inherited it?" Can you open my eyes? ”

Zheng Siyuan's nervousness eased a lot: "The inheritance of the immortal family can't be talked about, it is a technique called "Arc Guiding the Heavenly Arrow", which is placed in the family library, and no one cares about it. Among them is the key to making arrows. But the exercises were incomplete, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pass the exam. ”

Zhao Xiao was interested, and invited Zheng Siyuan to come to the pavilion in the courtyard to sit down and rest, let the servants bring refreshments, and talked: "Zheng Daoyou was born in the Zheng clan of Jiujiang, and he is also considered an immortal blood, why can he only practice the incomplete exercises?" What about Chongxuan Pavilion's "Nine Heavens Flying Xuan Purple Qi True Wen Treasure"? ”

Zheng Siyuan lowered his head: "Deacon Zhao laughed, where is a person like me an immortal blood yin?" Not everyone in the museum can be taught the immortal family dharma. ”

Zhao Xiao learned from Anyang Hou that Zheng Siyuan's mother was from a humble background and was not liked by Zheng Tunan. And even in the Chongxuan Pavilion, there is no way to contact the Immortal Sutra.

"Okay, don't mention the immortal blood." Zhao Xiao said: "Then I don't know how many talisman arrows Zheng Daoyou can make in a day?" ”

Zheng Siyuan silently calculated to himself: "Six or seven is not a problem, but ......"

"How?"

"When I was taking the school exam before, I passed the test by reciting mantra cloth qi, but I am afraid that the effectiveness of this sacrifice of arrows will not last for three or five moments, let alone send it to the battlefield for the soldiers to use?" Zheng Siyuan's head hung lower.

"It's a real problem." Zhao Xiao looked at the stone firelight, and the other party said: "Actually, you don't have to sacrifice the arrows directly, my original idea was to sacrifice the molten iron that casts the arrows." In this way, the magic effect solidifies on the arrow, and it can last longer. ”

"Like chanting mantras?" Zhao Xiao tapped his knees with his fingers: "But even so, it's still limited." When you arrive on the battlefield, in the face of a vast number of enemies, the more arrows you have, the better. ”

Shi Huoguang on the side reminded: "This kind of talisman arrow that has been refined cannot be used to shoot in front of the battle, it must be used to deal with the enemy generals, even if the method of protection is not good enough for monks, it can be shot down with talisman arrows." ”

Zhao Xiao groaned and said: "This is also true, but don't forget, this kind of thing is impossible to be sleepless day and night, like Zheng Daoyou, there are also cultivation lessons." If the cultivation is delayed for the sake of sacrificial talisman arrows, resulting in a lack of true qi and sluggish mana, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? ”

Zheng Siyuan hadn't thought of this layer before, and was still thinking about it in his heart, Zhao Xiao said: "Zheng Daoyou's cultivation method is incomplete, which is very inappropriate. It just so happens that I have a volume of immortal scriptures in my hand, which talks about the method of maintaining health and convincing qi to prolong life, so it is better to give Zheng Daoyou a little reference, how about it? ”

The immortal scripture mentioned by Zhao Huang is actually the "Sumai Dan Heart Formula" contained in the Xuanpu Jade Book. This method is plain and unpretentious, and there is no emphasis on fighting and killing, only seeking the true qi to be long and circulating, in order to exhale, the true qi enters and exits the acupuncture points around the body, and fills the world and the world.

Zheng Siyuan was speechless by what Zhao Huang said, he was born in the Zheng clan and Chongxuan Pavilion in Jiujiang, even if he has seen a lot of magic cultivation since he was a child, but a strict and complete immortal scripture is still very precious and will not be easily taught to outsiders.

Compared with living under the people for a long time in the Chongxuan Pavilion and not being able to do it, this time he came to the Jinding Division and successfully passed the examination, Zheng Siyuan actually felt like he was out of the cage. If you can get a stable job in Jinding Division in the future, you will be satisfied, who will expect any immortal scriptures?

But when he had the opportunity to come into contact with the authentic immortal method, Zheng Siyuan still couldn't help it.

"Deacon Zhao's mind, I don't know, I don't know how to repay it?" Zheng Siyuan got up and arched his hand.

"Don't worry." Zhao Xiao hurriedly raised his hand to appease: "Although it is an immortal scripture, cultivation still depends on the individual." If Zheng Daoyou's practice is useless and wastes his years, don't go back and blame me. ”

Zheng Siyuan bowed and said, "Where is it!" Thanks to Deacon Zhao's care, I will definitely take Deacon Zhao as the head in the future! ”

Zhao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, this was actually the result he wanted. If Liang Guoshi really planned to send someone to Jinding Division to secretly make trouble, then don't blame Zhao Huang for dividing these Chongxuan Pavilion monks in turn.

Thinking about it carefully, the bandits of Xingluo County let a group of outstanding children of the Yongjia Liang clan die under the edge of the divine sword, and it is estimated that Liang Guoshi will also be a clever woman who will be difficult to cook without rice. It is said that the newly established government office of Jinding Division is the most suitable for a family like Liang Shuo to get involved, and as a result, dozens of people were sent, and only six people passed the examination.

As for Zheng Siyuan, Zhao Xiao felt that he could indeed be promoted, and in addition, he was also the way to inquire about the Zheng family of Jiujiang and the Lord of Worry.

"It doesn't have to be like this, we should support each other when we work in Jinding Division." Zhao Xiao took out the exercises he had copied in advance from his sleeve and handed it to the other party.

Zheng Siyuan took the scroll and said, "Please rest assured Deacon Zhao, I will never pass on this scripture." ”

"Zheng Daoyou's intentions are good, but you don't have to mind too much." Zhao Xiao said: "Since the sages of the past have passed down many wonderful methods, they should have been confirmed by the public, rather than being occupied by one or two people, three or five families. ”

Zhao Xiao understands that not everyone has the qualifications and talents to cultivate immortals and learn the Tao, and even if they have qualifications, they may not be able to teach immortals, not to mention that there are a lot of filth in this earthly world now, and there are all kinds of external things to pay attention to in cultivation, and often only people with rich families can get a glimpse of immortals.

The establishment of the pavilion in Huaxu Kingdom is to mobilize the power of the country, to find people with good qualifications, to teach the study of magic cultivation, and also to reserve talents for the country.

But Zhao Xiao also knows very well that there are very few people like him who have a family background and are educated in the museum. After Zhao Huang himself met Lingxiao, he was instructed by him to cultivate the realm of refinement, which made him feel that if the immortal family magic method was suspended in the pavilion and not shown to others, it would not only hinder the world's ascending to the immortal path, but also make the immortal law inheritance itself lose its meaning.

Zhao Huang has also recently participated in the exercises of Xuanpu Hall, if it is similar to the "Five Tibetan Chapters of Shuying" taught by Zhang Duanjing, he himself does not need to find another way, but for a monk like Zheng Siyuan who lacks a complete cultivation method, it is no less than pointing out the future.

Give Zheng Siyuan two tips and start with the essence, and the other party can't wait to understand it himself. Zhao Xiao didn't stop him, let him go to the ashram to cultivate first, and they could communicate with each other if they had any seals.

"You just gave him a cultivation technique?" Shi Huoguang asked worriedly.

Zhao Xiao said: "Are you worried that Zheng Siyuan has bad intentions? If you take the trick, you're going to run away? ”

Shi Huoguang said: "After all, he is from the Chongxuan Pavilion, so he still has to be more careful. ”

"I know." Zhao Xiao got up and said with a smile: "But there is no shortage of immortal scriptures in Chongxuan Pavilion, if it is Liang Shuo's kind of person, I will probably think I am humiliating him with this magic trick." If Zheng Siyuan gets the true transmission in Chongxuan Pavilion, I will send the magic recipe again, which will not be of much use. But judging by his demeanor, it is true that he lacks authentic cultivation techniques, otherwise he would not have gone so quickly. ”

"The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow." Shi Huoguang nodded.

Zhao Xiao continued: "Zheng Siyuan relied on a broken exercise, and he can achieve today, which shows that this person has good qualifications. Such a person is not valued by the Chongxuan Pavilion, so I might as well win over him. ”

Shi Huoguang was puzzled: "You ...... Who did you learn from? ”

Zhao Xiao's eyes rolled: "If you have to ask like this, you probably learned it from Liang Shuo." At the beginning of Xingluo County, this Liang Gongzi probably thought that I didn't get out of the Huaiying Pavilion, so he went to great lengths to win me over. ”

Shi Huoguang's expression was strange: "But Liang Gongzi's fate ......"

Zhao Xiao coughed lightly: "That's because he was unlucky and ran into a faceless swordsman." But right now, it's in the Jinding Division, and it's not a dangerous battlefield, and I don't want Zheng Siyuan to change to the court, as long as he sacrifices the art of war with his heart. ”

Shi Huoguang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You haven't been here for much time in Dongshengdu, but you have grown a lot better than before." ”

Zhao Xiao touched his cheeks: "Could it be that I was very naïve before?" ”

Shi Huoguang's old face smiled, a little helpless: "It's not naïve, but I've been staying in the hall, I'm afraid I don't know that people's hearts are sinister." ”

Zhao Xiao was silent, in fact, he knew too much of the hearts of the earthly people, and he would be impregnated by them inadvertently. was reminded by Shi Huoguang like this, and he realized that during his time in Dongshengdu, his style of acting seemed to be different from the past.

It seems that Zhao Xiao seems to have become more rational, and with the improvement of his status, he seems to have more scheming methods, even if he is provoked by a gentleman like Zheng Tunan, he can deal with it easily.

But can all this really make the Dao heart clearer? Is it really beneficial to cultivating immortals and learning the Tao? Zhao Xiao himself couldn't help but be suspicious.

"By the way, this is the Qingxuan pen I prepared for you." Shi Huoguang took out a long box, which contained five Qingxuan pens of different thicknesses, both sharp and short, as well as thick and large pens, with different shapes.

"So much?" Zhao Xiao was stunned.

Shi Huoguang said, "Didn't your previous pen be destroyed in Starfall County?" So I specially looked for Qingxuanzhu of different years and refined a whole set. When you do things in Jinding Division, you can't just rely on the Qi Drawing Talisman. If you don't need it, you can also use it as a gift. ”

Zhao Xiao nodded, lifted a Qingxuan pen, and was silent in thought.

……

Jing Shi breathed alone in the room, and with her inaudible slender breathing, the true qi went back and forth, turning into inky black silk threads in the room, intertwined and horizontal, like a snare.

The silk mesh trembled slightly, Jing Shi seemed to feel something, raised his cold eyes, flicked his fingers to disperse the ink threads, and got up to open the door.

I saw Zhao Huang standing in the small courtyard outside the house, and He Dangguan, who was carrying a long sword, was beside him.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Shi, I'm bothered." Zhao Xiao came up and bowed his hands.

"Deacon Zhao looking for me?" Jing Shi asked.

Zhao Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Tomorrow, the East Courtyard will build an mandala, and the foundation bricks and stones need to be practiced by calligraphy, Zhao thought that Jing Shi Daoyou is also good at talismans, why don't you go together tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Jing Shi bowed his head with a cold expression: "Deacon Zhao has an order, and he should obey it." ”

"It doesn't have to be this way." Zhao Xiao took out a Qingxuan pen and handed it to the other party: "Although Jing Shi Daoyou can induce qi talismans, there are many talismans in the division, and you can't always induce true qi. This Qingxuan pen is a specialty of my Huaiying Museum, and it is most suitable for collecting gas generators and calligraphy. It can be regarded as Zhao's expression of affection, and Jing Shi Daoyou may wish to accept it. ”

Jing Shi didn't think about it for too long, and his face didn't show a strange look, he took the Qingxuan pen with both hands, and said, "Thank you Deacon Zhao, I will definitely do my best." ”

"Okay, then it won't hinder Jing Shi's fellow Daoists' cultivation." Zhao Xiao saluted and said goodbye, and left the small courtyard with He Dangguan, leaving Jing Shi alone to stare at Qingxuanbi.

"What do you think?"

After walking a distance, Zhao Xiao asked He Dangguan beside him.

"This woman is obviously also proficient in swordsmanship and martial arts, although I haven't seen her make a move, but judging from her pace and posture, she is definitely a powerful character." He Dangguan added.

Zhao Xiao nodded slightly: "Magic and martial arts are not incompatible, but it takes a lot of effort to be proficient in two at the same time." ”

"Deacon Zhao, with all due respect, this woman named Jing Shi is probably unpredictable." He Dangguan said.

"Why?" Zhao Xiao asked.

He Dangguan shook his head: "I can't say, it's just that I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and I have some subtle feelings inexplicably." The moment she went out, the gaze that swept towards me seemed to have murderous intent. This is not like a Qing cultivator, but more like an assassin and the like. ”
