Chapter 112: Straighten your heart as one
Zhao Xiao was holding a cup below, and when he heard the words of the two pavilion leaders, he thought to himself, who could be more flattering than the position of the first pavilion? Even Qingping Shidao can say such things, so what did Xingluo County fight in the first two years?
Among the six pavilion leaders, the first seat of the Zhenzhen Pavilion had the most ugly face, and in the battle against bandits in Xingluo County, the damage to the Zhenzhen Pavilion was particularly serious.
The status of the pavilion is not only based on the cultivation power of the first individual, but also the monks in the hall are the most important. If there is no successor to a pavilion, and there is a lack of disciples who can inherit the essence of the technique, the pavilion itself is useless.
As for the fact that Langji Shenke is connected to the Dongshengdu leyline, Zhao Huang has also heard of it for the first time, whether the number of Shenke immortal fruits is related to Huaxu Kingdom, let alone Zhao Xiao's speculation.
It's just that the number of nine immortal fruits is very delicate. Nine is the extreme, and is in a position that is critical to success or failure. The next step is rebirth, an unprecedented change, and a step back is likely to be a downfall.
In short, no matter how good or bad it is, it will not be an easy pass. And those words that are prosperous and full of warehouses are probably talking about the wealthy families with endless granges, right?
Zhao Xiao muttered a few words in his heart, he didn't know much about the science of luck, maybe he could find a chance to discuss a lesson or two with Xin Taicheng of Qin Tiantai?
Liang Tao didn't care about the words of others, and said: "The Shenke Immortal Fruit is not an ordinary plant fruit, but it is formed by the pure qi of the fairy spirit, and it must be taken by refining the Outer Dan. ”
"Then according to the old practice, let the disciples of each pavilion go down to practice the technique, and the winner wins." Zhang Duanjing said.
"Why is Zhang Shouzuo in such a hurry?" Liang Tao played with the cup, and the jade liquor turned into a cirrus cloud between his fingers: "It's rare to have a grand event of the immortal family, if it's just a fight and killing, it will inevitably throw the immortal fate in vain, and it will also make the younger generations contaminated with the idea of being brave and ruthless, which is not beneficial to their future improvement." ”
"What is the intention of Liang Shouzao?" Zhang Duanjing asked.
"It's right to learn from each other, but it doesn't have to be a two-by-two competition." Liang Tao raised his hand and instructed the party: "Jiuli Kingdom has repeatedly violated the border in recent days, although it has not caused a major disaster, we should take precautions.
The old man intends to set up a military art deduction, and the younger generations who are interested in the art of military affairs can try it out, regardless of success or failure, they can gain something. ”
"The Art of War?" The lord of the country couldn't help asking, "Could it be like Lu Bo and the game?" ”
Liang Tao twisted his beard and said: "Ordinary games and battlefields are not the same, the old man surveyed the geographical situation, meteorological phenology, and settlement of the border between Huaxu and Jiuli a few years ago, so you might as well take this as a game?" ”
Liang Tao sketched a piece of undulating mountains and rivers, as if he was in the air and had a bird's-eye view of the earth, and the majestic mountains and steep peaks at the junction of the two countries were actually like the folds on ordinary clothes, showing them in front of everyone.
If Mrs. Zhu Zi changed the cup and took the wine, showing her meticulous and subtle skills, Liang Tao's hand is magnificent, and it has the atmosphere of an immortal family who takes the world as a chess game.
Being able to shine on the mountains and rivers in such a clear and unhindered way, Zhao Xiao was amazed, but found that he had also had a similar experience.
When he was in Xingluo County, Zhao Huang went out to visit Tie Gong, and once briefly glimpsed the trend of the mountains, as if he was looking down on the earth from a high altitude.
Looking back now, when Zhao Huang tried to inspire a side of the earth, his spirit inadvertently hooked up the mountains and rivers, and it was not surprising that the trend of the mountains could appear in his mind. I think Liang Guoshi also took a similar approach.
And Liang Tao's so-called survey of the mountains and rivers at the junction of the two countries is probably not for the purpose of doing any art of war deduction, but for the purpose of preparing for the scientific and ceremonial affairs of the Taoist kingdom on earth.
However, as soon as Liang Tao said this, it caused different expressions from everyone present. In this Yingzhou meeting, the leader of Chongxuanguan was not an ordinary child, but Liang Xiao, who had been stationed at the flood rejection pass for many years.
Not to mention the fighting competition, almost no one in the younger generations present is his opponent Liang Xiao, if you want to compete in the way of using soldiers, where can these monks who study magic in the hall compare to such a fierce general on the battlefield? Isn't it guaranteed that Liang Xiao will win?
"Liang Shouzao, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate."
The first seat of the Mingxia Pavilion is a female crown with a dusty hand and picturesque eyebrows, and her tone is light: "My disciples of the Mingxia Pavilion rarely set foot in the battlefield to kill, you set up this situation, who else can argue with your pavilion." ”
Liang Tao had no intention of being polite: "The year before last, bandits were rampant in Xingluo County, and His Majesty summoned us to discuss countermeasures, and in the end, didn't it agree that each pavilion would mobilize disciples to suppress the bandits?" After more than half a year of war, could it be that the people of Mingxia Pavilion did not understand the war at all?
Although Ding Shouzao is a woman, he shouldn't think that the battlefield killing is only related to men, right? As far as I know, there are female generals in Jiuli Kingdom and Yaochi Kingdom, and the first one to ask his own disciple to stay in the boudoir and teach him as a husband and son of Ruyi Langjun? ”
Liang Tao said this ugly, and also mocked the Feather Pavilion, and Mrs. Zhu Zi in the distance lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Liang Shouzuo doesn't have to be ridiculous." Ding Shouzuo shook off the dust: "Since you proposed the deduction of the art of war, I also have other ideas." There is a fishing village one hundred and forty miles southeast of this place, and the local people are blown by the sea breeze all the year round, and they feel that their muscles and bones are shaking and stinging in the prime of life.
When I saw this, I felt compassion and had the heart to use the pill charm. Now that you are on Yingzhou Island, you might as well take advantage of the blessed land here, set up a Jingtan array, collect clear qi, curse water alchemy, and use all the things obtained to treat the people in the fishing village. ”
Looking at the expression on Liang Tao's face, there was obviously no permission at all, but without waiting for him to speak, Zhang Duanjing said bluntly: "This is very wonderful, although the Yingzhou Club is a grand event for the immortal family, and there is a Langji Shenke to produce immortal fruits, but my generation should not sit back and enjoy its success." In this way, the magic and magic skills can be compared, and it can also be refined into elixir runes to save the people, and it can also praise the merits of the court and His Majesty's grace. ”
The topic shifted to the lord, and the lord had to smile: "I also thought this was a wonderful move...... Liang Weng, isn't Chongxuan Pavilion also famous for the way of Danding furnace? This time also gave me a glimpse of the mystery. ”
Chongxuanguan is indeed proficient in Wai Dan refining, but looking at Liang Xiao and the group of big men behind him, how many of them seem to be waiting for the fire? It's like skewering people together and baking a fire.
But when everyone talked about this, Liang Tao couldn't refuse anymore, everything has a back and forth, and it is impossible for you Liang Guoshi to take all the benefits.
Zhao Xiao looked at these big people's sharp tongues, and thought to himself that it was rare for Liang Guoshi to suffer in public, considering that the temperament of this national teacher's clone was harsher than the ontological yin owl, I am afraid that he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
It's just that Zhao Xiao is very curious, Liang Tao's ontology and doppelganger temperament are not small, how does he have to deal with himself in his heart to resolve this contradiction?
But after thinking about it, Zhao Xiao doesn't seem to be qualified to talk about others, he himself encounters difficulties, and he still has a lot of thoughts, and a bunch of entangled contradictions can't be resolved.
"That being the case, the old man complies with the will." Liang Tao's face was slightly gloomy.
Zhang Duanjing pushed the boat smoothly, turned his head to look at Zhao Xiao and the monks of the Huaiying Pavilion: "You come to arrange the mandala." ”
Zhao Huang didn't dare to relax, knowing that this was a good opportunity for the Huaiying Pavilion to show his skills, he put down the jade liquor, and the other hall students were carrying bamboo baskets, and they also brought Dharma utensils inside.
"The Huaiying Pavilion is well prepared." Liang Tao sneered twice.
Zhang Duanjing didn't respond, so he saw Zhao Huang take out the Qingxuan pen, outline it in the air, and draw the qi script, in the blessed land of the immortal family like Yingzhou Island, the qi is full of vitality, and the effect of the spell based on this has also been greatly improved.
After a while, the clouds swirled and gathered in mid-air, and merged into the pottery urn in the altar, and soon condensed into clear water.
Zhao Xiao couldn't condense the image of the object with his own true qi alone, but it was not difficult for him to use a spell to hook the cloud water qi machine.
The clear water in the pottery urn is gradually full, and the Qingxuan pen in Zhao Xiao's hand is not even more than a book, and the Taoist charm is connected from head to end, protecting the mandala.
The spells continue to accumulate, extending to the next level, vaguely connecting the immortal runes that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Zhao Xiao used his eyesight to detect a trace of the immortal spirit rune, and tried to lure it down.
"Form a talisman and turn into a ladder to connect the immortals, and use this spell to refine the pure water." Mingxia Pavilion Ding Shouzao praised him: "Zhang Shouza, you have a good apprentice." ”
"He still lacks experience." Zhang Duanjing replied.
Liang Tao said: "This kind of ability to open the altar is also a good subject of the Zhenzhen Museum. The first seat of the Xuzhou Zi can send disciples to come to show the wonderful method and participate in the grand event. ”
The first Xuzhouzi of the Zhenzhen Pavilion did not have a good face, and said: "Our Zhenzhen Pavilion has suffered misfortune, and the disciples of the sect have suffered many losses, and this time the Yingzhou Club will not be ugly." It's the Marquis of Zhenming, I see that he has superb attainments in scientific rituals and rituals, and I am afraid that no one in the Zhenzhen Pavilion can compare with him. ”
This may sound like a compliment, but on this occasion, it seems to have a bit of fanning the flames.
The masters present already knew that the Zhenzhen Pavilion had killed a group of outstanding children when they were suppressing bandits in Xingluo County, and they had all their lives sacrificed when they followed Liang Guoshi to fight against the rebellious party, and this Xuzhou Zishou would not have good intentions towards Chongxuan Pavilion no matter what.
Liang Tao raised his eyebrows lightly: "Is it too much to say that the first seat of Xuzhouzi is too much?" It is nothing more than opening the altar to attract the fairy spirits to clear the air, and use this book to spell the water. This kind of thing is not to mention the Descending True Pavilion, even if it is a warlock, there will be some of them. ”
"If there is no foundation for refining qi, no matter how refined the magic is, it will definitely not be able to attract the immortal spirit to clear the air." Xu Zhouzi made no secret of it: "And the way of scientific rituals and rituals, in addition to self-cultivation, pay more attention to holding the heart and brightness." Otherwise, such as the method of pulling out the dead soul and exorcising evil spirits and binding the charm, even if the spell is profound and the chapters are full, it is difficult to see success. The essence of this is not known by such indulgent and indulgent people. ”
Xu Zhouzi's words didn't sound a big problem, but he seemed to mean something.
"Before the Yingzhou Meeting, I used to wander around Dongshengdu and happened to pass by the grange of the Marquis of Zhenming." Ding Shouza said: "Unlike other Granges that drove tenants and slaves with their subordinates, I saw with my own eyes that the Marquis of Zhenming gave medicine to the tenants to cure sores, and also released a group of slaves from slavery and returned to their original homes. For those who are lonely and old in the grange, the Marquis of Zhenming ordered someone to repair the house and send cloth and grain and rice to support and recuperate. The inner and outer aspects are the same, and it is no wonder that the Marquis of Zhenming has achieved extraordinary achievements on the road of scientific rituals and rituals. ”
The short and fat head of the Cloud Bead Pavilion asked, "I'm afraid Ding Shouza's words are not true, right?" I heard that the grange was taken by Marquis Zhenming from the Zheng clan of Hatoe. And the so-called rescue of tenants is nothing more than to allow them to continue to work to support themselves. A little bit of enlightenment, but I don't know whether the intentions are good or evil, and there is no need to make conclusions. ”
Ding Shouzuo's expression was cold, and he didn't open his mouth to refute it, Liang Tao looked at Zhang Duanjing and asked, "Zhang Shouzuo, what do you think?" ”
"Those who cultivate immortals and learn the Tao should be compassionate and humane, and should not treat people like cattle and horses and wantonly drive them into service." Zhang Duanjing replied expressionlessly: "What's more, if you get this grange with a lot of money, you shouldn't monopolize its profits, and the proceeds should be used to give to the poor and relieve the hungry and cold." Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the solemnity of the Dharma? ”
The tall and thin head of the Fei Lian Pavilion said: "Zhang Shouza looks at him left and right. If the Marquis of Zhenming steals other people's granges for his own, no matter how he gives afterwards, isn't it also the same as distributing the treasure to others after robbers and plunder? Is that exculpable? ”
Zhang Duanjing's face was blank and he didn't answer.
However, when the lord of the country saw that the first barrier of the six pavilions was gradually becoming clearer, he smiled faintly and took the initiative to say: "A few people have misunderstood the Marquis of Zhenming, and that grange was donated by others on their own initiative. Marquis Zhenming had previously written and was reluctant to accept the Grange property. Although I am the king of a country, I cannot take the property of others by the whims of the moment. In this way, there will be no rumors in the country that I am the faint king who took people's land and property in order to build palaces. ”
As soon as these words came out, they could be regarded as setting a conclusion to the matter, and the heads of several pavilions had nothing to say.
Just as Zhao Xiao finished his practice, the glowing spells around him gradually dissipated, and the pure water in the pottery urn contained light. Zhao Xiao picked up the pottery urn and walked out of the mandala: "Please also ask the first seat to take a look." ”
Ding Shouzao stepped forward to stare at the dust for a moment, nodded and said, "A good pot of magic water to dispel wind and clear veins." ”
Zhao Huang said: "This method of water has two uses, one is to mix with ordinary pure water so that patients can drink it, and the other is to dip willow branches in a little bit and sprinkle it with the mantra to drop the skin acupoints. Such a pot should be able to relieve the pain of 100 people. ”
"Good, good." Ding Shouzuo raised his hand to take the pottery urn, looked back and asked, "How many other pavilions do you have disciples who want to show their skills?" Not only the magic water charm, but also the pill pill powder. ”
The first seat of the Yunzhu Pavilion, which is also good at the pill bait medicine, is a little embarrassing, if it is really said that the medicine that cures the pain of mortals, it is not worth mentioning to their Yunzhu Pavilion. But now on this occasion, the Mingxia Pavilion that set up the competition seems to be biased, and even the attitude of the lord of the country is more protective of Zhao Huang, so there is no need for him to be stiff in the Yunzhu Pavilion.
"Since there is no one to challenge, then this competition will determine the winner or loser." He raised his sword finger and swept it gently, a fairy fruit flashed, flew away from the branch lightly, and approached Zhao Xiao as if he had a feeling, and fell steadily into his palm.
