After the assassination of the Jackpot Pavilion, Zhao Huang now avoids all the drinks and teas offered by strangers to outsiders.

However, this pot of fine wine that has been lit by immortal brewing, even if Zhao Xiao does not deliberately launch the Ying Xuan Zhaojing Technique, with the foundation of breathing and refining qi, he can also sense the abundant and pure qi in it.

Zhao Xiao hesitated for a while, then threw off all kinds of worries and poured himself a drink. When the immortal wine is entered, before the flavor of the wine is tasted, I only feel that the true qi in the body is suddenly like a surging tide, surging endlessly.

This kind of immortal brew is not like other foreign pill bait medicines, which also have to practice refining medicinal power after taking it, but quickly exert a spiritual effect.

Although the true qi was galloping and drumming very refreshingly, Zhao Xiao did not dare to be careless, closed his eyes and concentrated, and converged his true qi to the sea of Guan Yuan Qi.

Xuanzhu, which was originally located in Guan Yuan, was nurtured by the true qi of the drum and gradually climbed upward. Zhao Xiao listened to the ratings, and he was blinded, but he vaguely heard the mysterious sound of the visceral palace in his body, which echoed with the blessed land qi outside his body, and gradually became immortal music, wandering in the brain palace.

Zhao Xiao did not indulge in immortal music, he understood that this was the illusion formed by the spiritual qi in his body when he was cultivating, and if his mind walked at will, he would miss the opportunity for the Xuanzhu to rise.

And Liang Tao, who was holding the Relief Relief Jue on the side, stared at Zhao Xiao, the falcon's eyes moved, as if he was shining on his limbs, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and he nodded secretly.

Zhao Huang practiced pranayama for nearly half an hour, and the true qi in the body gradually eased, and the illusion of fairy music also subsided and was not heard, and Xuanzhu rose to the position of Zhonghuang Taicang, which has the wonder of the five treasures of the general town.

The monk condensed the Xuanzhu, and there was still a long way to go before the fetal immortal was formed. If you want to subdivide the cultivation into the realm, Zhao Xiao was just an image of Xuanzhu before, and then let Xuanzhu rise step by step from Guan Yuanqi Sea, successively through Zhonghuang Taicang, Jianggong atrium, and then through the throat of Chonglou, and finally enter Shangyuan Mud Pill Palace, Xuanzhu is polished and mellow.

Moreover, the process of ascending the Xuanzhu is not smooth sailing, comparable to climbing a majestic mountain, every step is difficult, full of dangers, there are unpredictable dangers between physical and mental regulation, and spiritual qi promotion, or the internal organs and qi are mixed and impure, or the state of mind is not pure, which gives birth to all kinds of perceptual illusions and imaginations.

Not to mention the external calamities and dangers, when cultivating and practicing gong, the true qi will be swallowed and agitated, which will cause the external qi to circulate and change, and it is easy to attract ghosts, gods and spirits to peep. If there is a murderous act that causes the monk's qi to be disordered, it is possible to die violently on the spot.

Therefore, whenever the Xuanzhu ascends, immortal cultivators usually retreat in the cave to avoid ghosts, gods, demons, and evil ears. It is best to have a fellow master to take care of the Dharma Protector, so as not to make mistakes in cultivation and be difficult to save.

The vast majority of unborn immortal monks often stop at the ascending section of the Xuanzhu. The main reason is that when I reach this important realm, I pay more and more attention to the inner cultivation of the body and mind. Although things such as the Wai Dan Bait Medicine, the Blessed Land Dojo, and the Dharma Protector are still important, if your own kung fu is insufficient, and the Xuanzhu is weak in ascending, the cultivation realm will stagnate.

According to Ling Xiao, the path of Xuanzhu's ascension to the Mud Pill Palace is a test of whether the Dao Heart can be held consistently.

The firmness of the Dao heart is not created out of thin air, if it is indulged in vulgar feelings, it will be difficult for Xuanzhu to rise, and even in front of the Mud Pill Palace, all kinds of illusions will be born to disturb the monks, making people's souls uneasy.

Zhao Xiao left the country, and for some reason suddenly thought of Zheng Yulou, this old gentleman should not have been born into a fetal immortal, but he was stagnant on the way to Xuanzhu's ascension.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

Although condensing Xuanzhu can no longer be regarded as an ordinary man, the body and body are full of vitality, if you take good care of your body and spirit, and keep quiet, the longevity of Sanjiazi is not a problem. But for those who embark on the path of immortality and seek to verify such a realm, this is only a short step, how can they stop?

If you stop there, isn't it a repudiation of past efforts? It is self-destructing the Dao heart and abandoning the immortal Dao!

"Why sigh?" Liang Tao leaned on the strange stone, shook the wine jue lightly, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Obviously cultivating mana and improving, isn't it enough to make you happy?" ”

"Definitely." Zhao Xiao confessed: "I just thought of Zheng Yulou, and I felt sorry for him. ”

"What's there to do?" Liang Tao asked.

"Zheng Yulou and I can't talk about any new and old grudges, but we are both immortal cultivators, and we can't help but hurt him now." Zhao Xiao said.

Liang Tao said indifferently: "Your unwarranted compassion will kill you one day." ”

Zhao Xiao looked at Liang Tao with a very strange gaze: "Master Guoshi, Zheng Yulou is the founding father of your Chongxuan Pavilion, and the Zheng family of Jiujiang has paid a lot for Chongxuan Pavilion, and now that you have ended up like this, are you not the slightest bit sad?" ”

"You seem to have forgotten that the original fate of the Hatoe Zheng family will be even more miserable." Liang Tao smiled and retracted: "I have helped those who should help and can help." The Zhou family was involved in the overseas Phantom Wave Palace, and I still wanted to hide it, but in order to save the life of the Zheng family, I had to reveal it in advance. If it weren't for me, do you think the lord of the country would let go of the Hatoe Zheng family? ”

Zhao Xiao kept his mouth shut, and Liang Tao continued: "Don't really think that the lord of the country is letting them go because of the past merits of the Zheng clan in Jiujiang. Since ancient times, emperors and monarchs have killed heroes and famous generals, have there been few? The strife above the court is still your life and death.

You didn't say that I almost forgot, this time your uncle Anyang Hou is the most active. In the days when you were hiding in the arrest department, he contacted and visited various places in Dongshengdu, made a big noise, and even listed the top ten crimes to Jiujiang Zheng Shiluo, who were all targeting me openly and secretly, and he couldn't wait to use a knife and axe to cut off my head. ”

"You said that you lived or died, can you blame others?" Zhao Yan said: "What's more, the Chongxuan Pavilion asked the local officials to write a book, and also instigated the people of the capital to petition outside the palace, this kind of trick is not very clean. The national teacher may know that I do not advocate the mass killing of the Zheng family in front of the lord of the country, but to investigate the Zheng family's land and people, so as to calculate the land for the people, but it was divided among the other three of you! ”

"Partition?" Liang Tao sneered: "Who told you this?" ”

Zhao Xiao opened his mouth and did not answer. Seeing him like this, Liang Tao flicked his fingers in the air, and Zhao Xiao only felt a headache on his forehead: "Stupid, you believe what others say?" Have you ever checked it out for yourself?

Checking the land and people, and counting the mouths of the fields, do you really think that you can do it with a few Qin cha? Without bringing thousands of soldiers and horses, holding swords and spears to separate the local wealthy families, why should the imperial court conduct a thorough investigation?

You wouldn't be naïve enough to think that except for a few of our Chongxuan Pavilions, no one would be eyeing the Zheng family's tenants? Guess what means Anyang Hou used to call a group of people to work against my Chongxuan Pavilion? Just rely on his sharp mouth? ”

Zhao Xiao was speechless by Liang Tao, and the other party said: "The empty and useless idea of compassion is not only to set unnecessary shackles for oneself, but also to set rules that do not exist in the world, and ultimately harm others and oneself." You are proficient in magic and spells, just concentrate on doing these things, and there is no need to be good at giving opinions about things you don't understand. ”

"Since the National Teacher understands the tricks, why don't you do it?" Zhao Xiao asked rhetorically: "In the final analysis, you can't give up these ointments, Zhulou Paint Pavilion, and Xiangche BMW." But these things are all from the plundering of the people, is the national teacher so at ease? Aren't you afraid of being burdened and struck by calamity? ”

"Is this a curse for you?" Liang Tao looked at Zhao Huang with interest: "But have you ever thought that I don't owe anything to these people, but because I am in Huaxu Kingdom, they can be saved from the war, and it is because of my shadow." ”

Zhao Xiao frowned and said: "The National Teacher really believes in his words, and it seems that you alone can dominate the situation on the battlefield. Those veterans who fought desperately with the enemy with a knife and a gun also served the country, but they died of old age in the alleys and deserted suburbs, and the national teacher could not see it. ”

"Here we go again." Liang Tao shook his head: "If you say that you are lonely and desolate, where is there no one?" When you eat your own mouth full of oil, you begin to look compassionate. This is not the words and deeds that a person who cultivates immortals should have. ”

Zhao Xiao's face was gloomy: "Those who cultivate immortals and learn the Tao take compassion as their treasure and tranquility as their foundation, this is the foundation of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao, and the national teacher should know better than me." ”

"It's all empty and useless talk." Liang Tao's tone became stern: "Kindness is a treasure, what do you know about kindness?" That kind of mediocre soft-heartedness and mercy are not kind at all! True compassion is the realm of opening up one's body and mind to experience the true face of all things in heaven and earth. We do not look at things with preconceived notions, and we can get rid of the shackles of the world, so that we can gain insight into the flow of the world, and finally be able to use them appropriately. It's not your self-righteous, flawed, and deliberate intentions! ”

Zhao Xiao was speechless again, this time he was not annoyed, but admired from the bottom of his heart. No matter how much he didn't like Liang Tao, he had to admit that the other party's realm was extraordinary, and in a few words, he pointed out the essence of the immortal dao, which made Zhao Xiao feel the use of it.

"Why don't you speak?" Liang Tao's face is young, but his demeanor is full of respect for the school entrance examination.

"You're done, what else do I say?" Zhao Xiao spread his hands, he rarely loses to others in eloquence, Lingxiao is counted as one, and now Liang Tao is also counted as one.

"Why bother with a straight face? Aren't you trying to ask for a solution? Liang Tao shook the crystal wine in his hand.

Zhao Xiao took a deep breath and asked, "What exactly does the National Teacher want me to do?" ”

"Don't you allow me to love talents?" Liang Tao said with a smile.

"It's not funny at all." Zhao Xiao said: "I think that my offense to the National Teacher is enough for me to die a hundred and ten times, and the result is still unharmed." Now the national teacher has also transferred the blessed land manor of the Zheng family of Jiujiang to me, and this kindness has been exchanged for someone else, and I have already knelt down and kowtowed, and I am grateful. ”

"Yes, you have repeatedly offended, and if you were a worse temper, you would have screwed off your head and kicked it as a ball." Liang Tao patted his thighs in a casual manner.

Jiang Ru on the side was shocked by Zhao Xiao's boldness, but he didn't expect that he had been testing Liang Tao. It's just that Liang Guoshi is more subtle and doesn't reveal his thoughts.

"Jiang Ru, you leave first, I have something to say to the national teacher." Zhao Xiao stood up and spoke.

Jiang Ru was not dissatisfied with the tone of Zhao Xiao's subordinates, she glanced at Liang Tao, and the other party nodded slightly, so she quickly got up and left quickly.

"When I was in Xingluo County, Liang Shuo once wanted to win me over, so as to separate me from Luo Xixian and divide the Huaiying Pavilion." Zhao Xiao said: "Originally, I thought that the National Teacher also had this thought. But in retrospect, it was very different.

In the final analysis, I am just a deacon of the Jinding Division, this position is not irreplaceable, and as for Zhenming Hou Yunyun, it is a worldly false name that is not enough. I think about it, the National Teacher's treatment is probably something more fundamental and incomparable to outsiders. ”

"Tell me, what's so special about it?" Liang Tao asked.

"Rituals." Zhao Yan said: "I want to come and go, almost only this is possible. The National Teacher and I have no old friendship, and my shallow cultivation is not commendable. And what I can be recognized by the National Teacher is probably only the ability of science and ritual law, after all, I have also experienced the test in Xingluo County. ”

"People, you have self-knowledge." Liang Tao nodded and praised: "At least you have a clear understanding of your own ability." ”

"Do you want to arrange any rituals and rituals for the National Teacher?" Zhao Xiao asked expressionlessly, he knew very well that with Liang Tao's cultivation realm, he could give up his dignity and face to communicate with himself, and the intention behind it must be very important.

Liang Tao didn't answer immediately, but asked, "I heard that your ancestor is a celebrant of the Tianxia Dynasty?" ”

"Indeed." Zhao replied.

Liang Taoyan said: "Back then, Tianxia fell apart, and the monks and magicians who were originally enshrined by the Tianxia Imperial Court went their separate ways. Most of those Kanyu masters followed the Chongxuan Pavilion to Dongshengdu, and the main lineage of the secret officials and curse forbidden beings is still in the bear country, and the stars of the waiting teachers are scattered all over the place, either hidden or explicit.

However, when Xuanju led the Rongdi tribes to the south to slaughter, in order to cover the evacuation of the people, they set down the Juntian Hundred Gods Sacrifice to resist Xuanju and the evil dragon under his seat. Unfortunately, there is no life left. ”

Zhao Xiao said: "The Juntian Hundred Gods Sacrifice is to welcome the gods under the emperor's throne to descend to the mortal world, and it was originally to redefine the order of the number of heaven, earth, mountains, rivers and qi for the Tianxia Dynasty. This ritual is not used for fighting, I have also heard of Xuan Ju and the evil dragon, such a strong person, ordinary magic is difficult to defeat, Jun Tian Baishen Sacrifice is probably to try to suppress the strong enemy in the order of qi number. ”

"He is worthy of being the authentic descendant of the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Official, he has never witnessed the battle, but he can speak the truth." Liang Tao asked, "Will you do the Juntian Hundred Gods Sacrifice too?" ”

"If it's just a ritual arrangement, then I do know it, but I can't reproduce it at all." Zhao Xiao said bluntly: "Not to mention the difference in cultivation mana, the Juntian Hundred Gods Sacrifice is closely related to the number of Tianxia vitality, and it can only be launched under the emperor." ”

"I see...... I now need a ritual that can fit the earth's leylines and at the same time integrate and connect the qi and energy of the vast region. Liang Tao finally said what he meant: "Just like what you set up in Xingluo County." ”

Zhao Xiao was slightly shocked in his heart, and asked, "Is the National Teacher planning to lay down prayer rituals throughout Huaxu Country to prevent the Divine Sword of the Chaotic Party from causing disaster again?" ”

"Not really." Liang Tao said, "The prayer ritual to dispel the calamity qi only works for a few days, and I need a ritual that can operate for a long time. ”
