"Long-term?" Zhao Xiao heard Liang Tao's request and asked, "How long is it?" A year and a half? Or ten or eight years? ”

Liang Tao propped his chin and asked, "Can't it be a hundred years and a thousand years?" ”

Zhao Xiao stood in place, his mouth slightly open, and then said, "Master Guoshi, do you have unrealistic illusions about my skills?" ”

Liang Tao did not answer immediately, but asked: "Before the establishment of the Jinding Division, the government office was rebuilt, what was the first step to do?" ”

"The height and width of the walls of the house are determined by the master of the house, and the graphics are drawn, so that they can be built according to the drawings." After Zhao Xiao said this, he vaguely understood.

Liang Tao asked with a smile: "After drawing the shape of the house, is it still up to the Kanyu master to pick up the soil and pave the tiles?" ”

"Of course not." Zhao Xiao asked: "What the National Teacher means is that I only need to be responsible for arranging the rituals, and I don't need to participate in the specific operation?" ”

"Almost."

Zhao Xiao paced back and forth in contemplation, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "It's still not good, the National Teacher overestimated me." ”

"Oh? You can do it in Starfall County, why don't you say it can't at this moment? Liang Tao's tone was slightly cold: "It's rare for me to release kindness, don't let it down." ”

"The situation in Starfall County is very different." Zhao Huang was equally serious: "The immortals of your Chongxuan Pavilion will be enshrined as the City God's Land, and they will be able to connect the mountains and rivers of Xingluo County. That's what I did when I set up the rituals. Ascending the altar to summon a party to correct the gods, and the magic ritual can be widely spread throughout Xingluo County, not to mention that the mandalas had to be arranged in advance in various places.

And Xingluo County is just a corner of Huaxu Kingdom, I listen to the meaning of the national teacher, and I want to arrange a ritual covering the entire Huaxu Kingdom? Then you have found me a ritual god who can control the number of the earth's veins and qi in the entire Huaxu country! After the loss of Tianxia, the five kings of the five directions and five virtues stayed away from Kunlun, and the rest of the righteous gods either disappeared, or occupied one side and turned into spirits and demons. I guess this is also one of the reasons why those praise officials were defeated by Xuan Ju back then. ”

"Relying on divine power, it won't last long." Liang Tao said.

"The National Teacher also knows it very well." Zhao Huang shrugged his shoulders and said: "The duty of the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Official, to put it bluntly, is to communicate with heaven, earth, man and god, what else can I do if I don't rely on divine power?" ”

Liang Tao shook his head and said: "In the final analysis, the purpose of arranging the rituals and summoning the gods is to instigate the qi of the five elements of yin and yang, or to drive away evil spirits, resolve disasters, or to increase blessings and prolong life, and to settle the town's house. ”

"That being said, but how easy is it to instigate the rheology of the qi machine?" Zhao Huang said: "Mortals do not have such profound and broad mana, so they naturally have to rely on divine power and arrange mandala rituals. And with all due respect, even if the cultivation realm is as profound as that of a national teacher, it is impossible to control the flow of qi in the entire Huaxu Kingdom with his own mana alone. ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If I could do it on my own, would you still be rampant in front of me? Liang Tao said with a smile.

Zhao Huang suddenly remembered that Liang Tao and Chongxuanguan had seized the blessed land of the Immortal Sect in the past, could it be that he wanted to arrange the rituals and rituals by himself, and it was also related to this?

"If there is no ritual god that connects the qi of heaven and earth, if you want to rely on rituals and rituals to activate the qi, then I am afraid that you will need a very cumbersome and complicated arrangement." Zhao Huang said while thinking about it: "Huaxu country runs through the north and south, the phenology is different, and the layout of the mandala should not only consider the punishment and the matching of shengke, but also look at the time of day, the stars, and the yin and yang of the landform.

Moreover, the mandala should be placed in the spiritual acupoint qi of the leyline sparse qi machine...... No, I'm afraid I still need to cultivate the blessed land as a pillar. ”

Liang Tao was silent for a moment when he heard this, and Zhao Xiao continued: "If the National Teacher wants the ritual to operate for a long time, then the mandala layout can't be simplified because it's ugly. It is not only necessary to build a permanent mandala seat, but also to use the long-tested heavenly and earthly treasures.

In addition, before the ritual is fully arranged, the original mandala should be maintained and sacrificed. Master Guoshi, have you ever thought about how much manpower and material resources will be spent here? ”

"Since I told you about this, I must have been prepared for a long time." Liang Tao said: "Needless to say, the treasures of heaven and earth, the Chongxuan Pavilion will definitely be able to take it out." As for changing the cultivation blessed land into a ritual mandala, I also have a way. ”

At this point, Zhao Huang was almost certain that the Chongxuan Pavilion had not intended to seize the blessed land of the Immortal Cultivation Sect in the past. Considering that Liang Tao made a big move after the establishment of the pavilion system, it is estimated that he began to plan for this matter decades ago.

Rethinking what Hengbi Gong said, nearly a hundred years ago, most of the Qingya Wonderland was invaded by evil gods outside the sky and collapsed, and Liang Tao's current planning and preparation must have something to do with the Qingya Wonderland.

Zhao Xiao planned to test it again, pretending to be helpless: "Okay, let's just be prepared as a national teacher, but the rituals that can operate for a long time are not only necessary to have sufficient utensils and blessed spiritual points." Just like Hua Xu Xianjun built the palace forbidden garden, is what is lacking is gold and silk wealth and brick and tile pillars? I'm afraid that drawing the shape of Miyagi in advance is the most difficult.

I'm not humble, but I just have the rituals and rituals that can cover the entire Huaxu Kingdom, and I don't think I can construct them completely. Moreover, the National Teacher was secretive and refused to explain the specific purpose of such rituals. It's like a patient who doesn't say where he is in pain, but asks the doctor to prescribe a prescription, there is no such truth in the world! ”

Liang Tao's fingers rubbed slightly, and his tone was serious: "What do you think the other countries of Kunlun Continent will do after I ascend?" ”

"You're going to ascend?" Zhao Xiao was taken aback.

"Is it possible to stay in the world forever?" Liang Tao said: "But I will not abandon the world without preparation, and I will definitely leave behind in case of accidents." ”

Zhao Xiao's expression was complicated and he was speechless. Liang Tao held the wine jue and shook it gently: "I know that many people are looking forward to my ascension as soon as possible, and it is best to stay away from the world completely." It's just that these people haven't thought that in the world of great contention in Kunlun Continent now, if Huaxu Country didn't have me, they would have been ravaged by murderous foreign enemies many times. ”

In fact, Zhao Xiao said something similar to the lord of the country, and it is estimated that the lord of the country also knows it in his heart. It is precisely because of this that even if the lord of the country and Liang Tao are tired of each other, they have to work together reluctantly.

"What? Looking at you like this, it seems that you don't believe it very much? Liang Tao looked at Zhao Xiao: "You are young, don't learn from Anyang Hou, what kind of party is the same as the other, it is extremely ignorant and hinders the immortal." ”

Zhao Xiao said: "Master Guoshi, isn't Chongxuanguan your henchman? said that other people's parties are the same and different, so aren't your immortal blood Yin also making a big difference between the family and nepotism? ”

"Selecting the best and appointing the best, having both ability and political integrity, this kind of saying sounds good." Liang Tao said bluntly: "However, in a world where profit-seeking mediocrity is everywhere, it is not up to each person to be virtuous or virtuous. If you don't even understand this, then I advise you to leave Dongshengdu quickly, this turbid world is not for you. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't answer, he remembered Wang Juncheng of Xingluo County, if you talk about meritocracy and morality, Wang Juncheng is probably more intelligent and excellent than many nobles in Dongshengdu. But if it weren't for the assassination of the previous county guard, Wang Juncheng would probably only be an unknown deputy, and his career would be bleak in the future.

When Wang Juncheng assisted the court officials and soldiers to suppress bandits, various affairs were handled in an orderly manner, which can be described as shining. But after the war, he chose to resign from the official position, obviously because he saw through the officialdom and could not tolerate virtuous people.

Or, if a virtuous person has been in this kind of world for many years, he will become obscure.

"If I really want to engage in a big party struggle in the court, believe me, there are few people who are my opponents." Liang Tao showed a hint of emotion: "It's a pity, among the descendants and grandchildren of the Yongjia Liang family, those who are talented either die on the battlefield, and most of the rest are incompetent and mediocre." And if you really want to make the imperial court into a Chongxuanguan family, our group of immortal blood yin can continue to fight, endlessly! ”

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you are a master who asks for the Immortal Dao, why are you struggling in this quagmire?" Zhao Xiao said.

Liang Tao's eyebrows slowly raised, stared at Zhao Xiao and said, "With your cultivation, it seems that you are not qualified to say such things to me, right?" I just said, don't look at things with preconceived notions, and you turn around and forget my words? ”

"is also an immortal master, the East China Sea Sword Immortal Hong Xueke doesn't seem to have so much of a tedious hook with you." Zhao Xiao said.

"You......" Liang Tao shook his head: "Cultivating immortals is not about cultivating people into ignorant and unconscious bricks and stones, Hong Xueke's temperament, words and deeds must also be admired by people with his cultivation realm." When he was young, he was wild and indulgent, even more reckless than Luo Xixian, Ren Xia killed people and committed repeated crimes. Hong Xueke is far away in the sky, others don't know the inside story, if they get along for a long time, no one can stand him. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't expect the famous East China Sea Sword Immortal to have such a past. However, Zhao Xiao felt that through his words and deeds, he probably tested Liang Tao's temperament.

"I originally thought that even if the immortal family ascended, it would be nothing more than some magic weapons to protect the body and help the cultivation, but it was simply a forbidden formation to protect the blessed land." Zhao Xiao said: "But now you want to carry out a ritual event covering the entire Huaxu Kingdom, what are your plans?" Let the Yongjia Liang family continue for generations? ”

"I wouldn't mind if I could." Liang Tao said.

Zhao Xiao was silent, and Liang Tao had no choice but to say: "I, Yongjia Liang Immortal Ancestor Qingya Zhenjun, seeing the endless killing of the earthly world and the suffering of the common people, I want to be benevolent to the world. I got the decree of the immortal family, and turned ghosts and gods into soldiers and horses in the mortal world, so as to clearly define people and ghosts, and set up Jing and Lizhi. In the future, if other countries invade, the monks of Huaxu Kingdom can use the Fa Gong to summon soldiers and horses from all over the country to help. ”

If it weren't for Hengbi Gong telling him in advance, Zhao Huang would probably really be bluffed by these words, because moving out of the name of Qingya Zhenjun, the juniors who are interested in the immortal path will definitely not dare to ignore it.

Zhao Xiao pretended to be shocked and unspeakable, and quickly calmed down, but the ten fingers of his hands were not very peaceful.

"You...... The National Teacher did this, but it was also very subtle. Zhao Xiao covered his mouth and pondered: "The act of clearly defining people and ghosts is in the same vein as the Tianxia Dynasty's establishment of Kewen ghost laws to restrain ghosts and gods, which is also the housekeeping skill of the praise officer." I don't quite understand that the Jingtan is for the worship of the Fa Gong soldiers and horses, and what does it mean? ”

Liang Tao said: "If it is said that the city god and the land are only in charge of the netherworld, then the establishment of governance is to govern the people and property, so that the people who follow the Tao can be registered and have their own belongings. ”

Zhao Xiao immediately sensed the problem: "Wait, isn't this a conflict with the county governments in various places?" ”

"Reform the old and make the new, as a matter of course." Liang Tao said: "Kunlun Bandang is all because the world does not follow the quiet road. It's just that the immortal law is difficult, and not everyone may be able to lift the sun, since this is the case, you might as well open up a country in the world.

I have followed the decree of the true monarch to lead all the people of Huaxu Kingdom to the same landing. Compared with the current situation where the ignorant and foolish people occupy their respective positions, the future leaders of each division will be held by people who have achieved cultivation. ”

"You're going to make a monk an official?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Liang Tao asked rhetorically: "Aren't you?" Hua Xu Guo set up a hall and divided the ranks, which was originally to let the monks who had achieved success in learning to perform their duties. I'm just improving on what I have. ”

Zhao Xiao was indeed shocked, even if he knew that Liang Tao was using Qingya Zhenjun as a pretense, but this matter came from Liang Tao's personal request, which made people feel even more incredible.

Judging from Zhao Xiao's knowledge, Liang Tao's idea is not fabricated out of thin air. The Tianxia Dynasty set up the Yang rule of law to give birth to people, and the Yin law to govern ghosts and gods, and there were shrines and sacrifices in various counties, and they were registered in the register, which was made by the imperial court. Obscene temples that are not made by the imperial court will be attacked and destroyed.

And the death of the Tianxia Emperor has the saying that the dragon controls the guest, which means that the dragon ascends to heaven and is the guest of the emperor, just like the immortal officials and generals who fly to the cave. Even the capital of the Tianxia Dynasty is also called the emperor's capital, and it is said that there is a wonderful traffic between heaven and earth and gods.

It can be seen that Liang Tao intends to reproduce the situation of the Tianxia Dynasty in Huaxu Kingdom, but this time it is not the Emperor of Heaven who is high, but Liang Tao after the ascension.

And unlike the unfathomable Emperor of Heaven, Liang Tao wants to control the ghosts and spirits of Huaxu Kingdom through the Jingtan Law Urn, and also set up a post to interfere with the earthly officials of Huaxu Kingdom, or simply let his own disciples and descendants serve as the leaders of each division. In the future, the yin and yang life and death of this human Dao country will be completely mastered by Liang Tao!

"If the National Teacher does this, I'll just ask." Zhao Xiao said: "Where will the future lord be placed? ”

"The teacher is the king, and the king is the teacher." Liang Tao replied: "But I can also confess that a family and a surname inherit the throne, which is often the source of rot beetles. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't expect Liang Tao's ambition to be so big, even if these words were made up by Liang Tao, Zhao Xiao felt a little unthinkable.

"How? To create a country in the world, compared with shrinking in a small government office such as a craftsman's work, which is higher or lower? Liang Tao asked with a smile.

"The ambition of the national teacher is admired by the younger generation." Although Zhao Xiao was shocked, fortunately his mind was not shaken: "But for such an urgent matter, I can't make a decision for a while. ”

"Are you going to tell Zhang Duanjing about this?" Liang Tao asked.

Zhao Xiao's heart tightened, he sensed that the surrounding qi was suddenly stagnant, if Liang Tao made a move at this moment, Zhao Xiao didn't even have the strength to fight back.

"You can say whatever you want." Liang Tao suddenly became interested: "I'm also curious, if Zhang Duanjing knew about this, how would he react?" ”
