Chapter 120: Abandoning Business and Going to the Battlefield
Being said to be like his father doesn't sound wrong, but Zhao Xiao knows that Shi Huoguang has never wanted to be in danger, lest Zhao Xiao follow in his father's footsteps.
"I'm not like my father." Zhao Xiao patted Shi Huoguang on the shoulder: "I will take care of myself, you can relax." You regard this Hou Mansion as your home, and I have already asked everyone here to listen to you. ”
Shi Huoguang lowered his head in response, Zhao Xiao was a little helpless, this elder who took care of himself a lot, in fact, was more unsuitable for the place of Dongshengdu than himself.
"I have another manor outside the city, so I need to take care of it before I leave." Zhao Xiao was about to leave, but he turned to look at Anyang Hou halfway and asked, "Uncle Shi, there is another matter, the jade magic weapon of the Bai'e Gongdong Mansion, is there any news recently?" ”
Anyang Hou was slightly stunned, and reacted very quickly: "Chongxuan Pavilion is now full of variables, and it is not easy for Uncle Shi to find out the specific situation...... In this way, when my nephew goes to Pujia Pass, I will try my best to get through the contacts in the Chongxuan Pavilion, and I will contact you as soon as there is news. ”
Zhao Xiao smiled and bowed: "Even so, there is Uncle Lao Shi." ”
Leaving the Zhenming Marquis's Mansion, Zhao Huang did not ride a horse or a car, nor did he bring a slave entourage, and left Dongshengdu alone, he hung a ribbon around his waist, and there was no guard Ding dared to stop him.
Zhao Xiao's steps are as light as flying, even if he does not deliberately raise his figure, he is not in a hurry in his gestures, but his clothes are flying, the ribbon is in the wind, his speed is better than that of a galloping horse, and there is no dust behind him, just like a feather guest in a painting.
When Zhao Huang came to the edge of a suburban river pond, he was about to fly to Lingbo, but he saw a brave figure on the opposite bank, holding a blood-colored halberd, allowing the sunset to reflect obliquely, like a god general in the temple.
"Liang Xiao?" Zhao Xiao stopped.
"It's me." Liang Xiao raised his eyes and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
Zhao Huang asked, "I don't know what advice Liang Daoyou has?" ”
"In order to make up for the lack of a competition at the Yingzhou meeting!" Liang Xiao's fighting spirit rose: "I said that I want to compete with you." There will be a lot of involvement in Yingzhou, so it's not annoying! Now it is in the middle of nowhere, the sky is getting dark, and there are few passers-by, no matter who wins or loses, it will not be spread. ”
"Daoyou is thoughtful." Zhao Xiao said.
Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows: "You agreed?" ”
After a year in Dongshengdu, Zhao Huang has never had such a clear mind today. Immediately took in the breath, accumulated the power of the hundred pulses, raised his sleeves and raised his hands, the Qingxuan pen was already in his hand, and said loudly:
"Please advise!"
"Good!" Liang Xiao smiled and shouted, and then the blood around his body was like fire, and the blood halberd in his hand was wrapped around a violent qi machine, sweeping through the air, and the river in front of him was affected by the qi machine, raising a turbulent wave, and hitting his face.
Zhao Xiao had no fear, and Qing Xuan's pen hooked and picked, hitting a few points of frost and whiteness, and the waves suddenly froze into icebergs.
But the iceberg clicked and exploded in an instant, Liang Xiao held the blood halberd, flew up and smashed the iceberg with one blow, the blood halberd stirred, and the large Xiaoice pieces were cone into thorns, and they shot towards Zhao Xiao one after another.
As if he had expected it, Zhao Xiao raised his left hand, and the qi forbidden talisman in his palm flashed, fixing the figure of the hundred and ten ice picks and Liang Xiao, and the five fingers flicked and played in the air, and the ice picks turned around and counterattacked.
"Good time!" Liang Xiao shouted violently, and at the same time as breaking free from the shackles of qi ban, he moved the blood halberd, and the wind swept angrily, carrying the river water and flying, scattering the ice picks one after another.
Zhao Xiao took advantage of the wind to gather more river water around Liang Xiao, intending to make it difficult for him to continue, and turned several golden swords into the surging waves.
Liang Xiao has been killed for a long time, where can he not see Zhao Xiao's intentions, he rose up to the might, and the violent qi on the blood halberd was hidden in the shape of a dragon, and it actually broke Zhao Xiao's water mana, and all the water in the river pond was pumped out, turning into a dragon, with a terrifying Hongwei, destroying the embankment, breaking the fields, and grinding the surrounding wood and stone into slag!
Zhao Huang was surprised, not panicked, Yin Hu Ling flew out of his sleeve, rose against the storm, and turned into the true form of the divine tiger, roaring to hide the front, vigorously control the evil, and the golden wind in the sky was like a knife mountain transiting!
On the bank of the river pond, the dragon and the tiger compete, each with its might, the dragon sweeps the tail and has the tendency to turn over the river and the sea, and the tiger pounces and cuts the ground and shakes the mountain. There is nothing intact on the ground within a radius of tens of feet, and the surrounding soil is flying endlessly.
The power of the dragon and tiger battle stirred up a heavy wave of energy, sweeping in all directions, if there were ordinary people on the side, it would definitely be wiped out.
And in the fierce battle between the dragon and tiger, there was a small open space, like the center of the storm, Liang Xiao held the blood halberd in his hand and opened and closed, recruiting the Tibetan technique and the formula in the method, and attacked Zhao Xiao again and again.
On the other hand, Zhao Xiao, the five-color brilliance of the Qingxuan pen in his hand was condensed, and he only sketched imaginary dots within a few feet, sealing several feet around his body, and blocking Liang Xiao's attacks one after another.
And Liang Xiao only felt that the blood halberd in his hand and his feet were getting heavier and heavier, and Zhao Xiao didn't know when he hit a spell on the ground, and the earth was surging, making Liang Xiao gradually feel inconvenient in his limbs.
"Carving insect skills!"
Liang Xiao's blood halberd suddenly paused to the ground, and used the fierce qi to break the spell, Zhao Xiao seized the opportunity, the green Xuan pen swiped continuously, and the golden slash condensed into a sharp knife visible to the naked eye, and slashed at Liang Xiao's body everywhere.
Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao did not avoid or retreat, relying on his physical body to connect the golden sword, leaving only a few shallow blood marks, and then took advantage of the situation to pick up the halberd, looking at the gap between Zhao Xiao's luck and true qi, intending to hit it hard.
However, when the blood halberd passed, Zhao Xiao's body turned into a little light and dissipated. Liang Xiao was startled, sensing that the killing machine was coming, he instinctively backhanded a halberd, breaking the mask illusion, and the edge reached Zhao Xiao's chest, but at the same time, there were three golden swords across Liang Xiao's throat.
The two stood still at the same time, and the battle between the dragons and tigers around them stopped, and the dragons scattered into muddy water all over the ground, and the true form of the gods and tigers was mottled all over the body.
"Which of the two of us do you think will die first?" Liang Xiao held the halberd and did not move.
"Liang Daoyou's copper skin and iron bones, my magic may not be fatal in an instant." Zhao Xiao said bluntly.
Liang Xiao said: "You have a magic weapon to protect yourself, and my blood halberd may not be able to penetrate it with one blow." ”
"Is that a tie?" Zhao Xiao's tone was calm.
"You still have a tiger." Liang Xiao glanced up.
Zhao Xiao smiled: "I have a lot of magic weapons, so I can be regarded as taking advantage." ”
"You can afford it, it's a skill." Liang Xiao slowly moved away from the blood halberd, and Zhao Xiao also withdrew the spell.
The two stood looking at each other again, and Liang Xiao twisted his shoulders and neck: "After a fight, it can be regarded as loosening the muscles and bones...... Your hand, isn't it the "Golden Water Shape Method"? ”
"Not bad." Zhao Xiao nodded.
"Almost instantly, I used my fractal body to take on the killing move, and there are very few people in the Chongxuan Pavilion who can practice to this extent." Liang Xiao looked at the direction of the Lung Mountain with a halberd.
"Daoist friends praise falsely." Zhao Xiao withdrew the Yinhu order and replied.
"Tsk, fake." Liang Xiao waved his hand: "I heard that you are going to Pujia Pass?" ”
Zhao Xiao smiled helplessly: "The lord of the country has not yet issued a decree, and the news has spread to passers-by. ”
"I originally thought that except for our Chongxuan Pavilion, the other pavilions were a bunch of incompetent waste, and if the military affairs of the border pass were handed over to this generation, sooner or later the country would die." Liang Xiao looked at Zhao Xiao and said, "Now it seems that the Huaiying Pavilion is not all waste. ”
Although Liang Xiao is rampant and domineering, he has a straightforward temperament, and Zhao Xiao will not fall behind after fighting with him, and most of the previous hostility and contempt will disappear immediately.
"Liang Daoyou is also guarding the border for the country, and he is far harder than me." Zhao Xiao said.
Gu Cheng
"I'm having fun and don't need to be comforted!" Liang Xiao waved his hand as if he was sending someone away: "The first one is waiting for you in the manor, go over!" ”
Zhao Xiao knew that Liang Xiao would not stop him for no reason, and he could only predict his whereabouts, and it could only be Liang Tao himself.
After saying goodbye to Liang Xiao, Zhao Xiao Bushui Lingbo came to Fudi Manor. At this time, the sky was dark, the moon was high, and I saw that there was a pill hanging in the courtyard, and the light of the moon was ingested into the pill.
Zhao Xiao quietly entered, just in time to see a red fox the size of a calf, spitting pearls at the moon. The fox's fur was shiny, and its big tail swayed slightly with its agile aura.
However, as soon as the fox saw Zhao Xiao, he immediately swallowed the pill back as if he was frightened, and slipped away quickly with a few sounds.
"This ...... Is it Jiang Ru? Zhao Huang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jiang Ru to be so afraid of being seen in her original body, didn't she still attack her mandala with her original appearance?
"Coming?"
Liang Tao's voice came from above, he changed into a serious purple robe and jade crown, sat on the trunk of an ancient tree, and stared at Zhao Xiao with light in his eyes.
"Master Kuni." Zhao Xiao clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Liang Xiao blocked the way, what do you mean?" ”
"Not really." Liang Tao replied: "This little guy is used to fighting and killing, but if he sees someone who is capable, he must go up and try his skills." I stopped me once at the Yingzhou meeting, but he didn't give me a good face at all...... The world is going down, where can I put my old face? ”
Zhao Xiao couldn't help laughing, Liang Tao really looked like Lanzhi Yushu and Junyi very, this kind of self-deprecating words really made Zhao Huang laugh.
"I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" Zhao Xiao smiled and asked: "In the art of war deduction at the Yingzhou meeting, Liang Xiao should have deliberately lost to me?" People like him are too one-sided and inflexible in dispatching troops. ”
When Liang Tao heard this, his figure fell, and his eyes were a little scrutinized: "I did let Liang Xiao deliberately defeat the army, but I never thought that you would win the wonderful." I don't know who is the master? ”
"My father is a lieutenant colonel, so it's not surprising that I know the art of war, right?" Zhao Xiao saw Liang Tao smiling and was silent, so he said again: "What does the National Teacher want to ask?" But it's better to ask what I can answer and what I can't answer, that is, I can't answer. ”
"You're talking nonsense." Liang Tao said.
"Whether it's nonsense or not, the national teacher knows it." Zhao Xiao understood that Liang Tao suspected that there were immortal masters behind him secretly helping. And as Lingxiao said, Liang Tao did not mean to rush to ask.
Therefore, Zhao Xiao simply took advantage of Liang Tao's suspicions and concerns, implying that he did have the help of the immortal family.
Liang Tao's eyes were compelling, trying to see through Zhao Xiao. At this time, Ling Xiao said in Zhao Xiao's mind: "Ask him directly for the True Yuan Lock." ”
"What?" Zhao Xiao's face did not change, and he asked in his mind, "This is too risky, right?" ”
"Now Liang Tao is half-convinced, only by pointing him the direction can he be sure that there is an immortal family behind you to help." Ling Xiao said.
Zhao Huang thought about it for a while, and said, "Master Guoshi, you have a layout at the Yingzhou Meeting, do you want me to go to Pujia Pass logically?" ”
"Zhang Duanjing told you?" Liang Tao asked.
Zhao Xiao nodded: "I heard from the teacher that the seal of the Horned Cave is about to collapse, and in addition to preparing to kill the Horned Demon King, the Horned Cave will also turn into a blessed land, and it is estimated that it will be used as one of the mandalas for legal affairs?" ”
"Since you know so well, I don't have to bother talking." Liang Tao said calmly: "Another thing to remind you of is that one of the reasons for the Jiuli Kingdom's attack this time is to rescue this horned demon king. ”
"My cultivation is shallow, and it is not my turn to deal with such a major matter as the demon king." Zhao Xiao said: "But the National Teacher seems to have forgotten one thing, he has always invited people to arrange rituals and rituals, all of which are to present the Dharma faith. ”
Liang Tao showed a hint of curiosity: "Fa Xin? If you know about the Lord and this blessed manor, what more do you want? ”
"The magic treasure in the White-fronted Gongdong Mansion." Zhao Xiao said.
Liang Tao raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you want to do with those things?" ”
"First of all, the Bai's Gongdong Mansion was originally discovered by our Huaiying Pavilion first, and it was your national teacher who forcibly took it." Zhao Xiao said: "In addition, there is a magic weapon inside, which is related to me, and its shape is like a jade, I don't know if the national teacher has seen it?" ”
Liang Tao didn't answer immediately, his eyes lit up and he didn't know what to think, and only after a moment did he say, "I see...... But how do you make sure you won't run away with something? ”
"I don't think I can escape the palm of the National Teacher." Zhao Xiao said with a smile.
Liang Tao said: "This is not necessarily. ”
"Then how can I satisfy the national teacher?" Zhao Xiao asked.
"It's simple, when the ritual is arranged, the magic weapon will be naturally given." Liang Tao said bluntly: "This matter is not negotiable, you either agree, or turn around and leave." ”
"It's a deal." Zhao Xiao is also very frank.
Liang Tao flicked his sleeves and flew away, disappearing in a blink of an eye, leaving words in the wind: "Then I will advise you one more sentence, don't be clever." ”
Zhao Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, even if Ling Xiao's words were conclusive, he would inevitably be nervous if he wanted to deceive a master like Liang Tao.
"In such a hurry to leave, he should be going to check the True Yuan Lock, right?" Zhao Xiao muttered in his heart.
At this time, I saw Jiang Ru walking out from the side, she was wearing a moon-white skirt, her face was a little shy, and she saluted: "Meet the Marquis of Zhenming." ”
"You and I don't have to talk about that." Zhao Xiao rolled his eyes.
Jiang Ru replied with a smile: "Zhao Gongzi allowed me to stay in this blessed land to cultivate, and the little woman couldn't repay me." ”
"It was Liang Guoshi who asked you to stay here, not me." Zhao Huang will come to this blessed land every three or five times to repair, and the person who is responsible for taking care of this place on weekdays is Jiang Ru.
"No matter what, Zhao Gongzi is the owner of this manor." Jiang Ru smiled slightly, Zhao Xiao saw that her complexion was a little brighter than in the past, the injuries affected by Liang Shuo's death were obviously all healed, and her cultivation seemed to have improved in another way.
"I'm going to leave Dongshengdu and go to Pujiaguan later, you ...... Whatever you want! Anyway, I don't think I will be able to come back in a year and a half. "Zhao Xiao is too lazy to care, his hard work will not give him any blessed land, and he will not be able to enjoy it.
Jiang Ru shook his head lightly: "I plan to go with Zhao Gongzi." ”
"What?" Zhao Xiao frowned: "Did you make a mistake?" I'm not going to the countryside. At present, Jiuli Country is on the border, and the soldiers in the area of Pujia Pass are in danger, which is more sinister than Xingluo County! ”
"I know." Jiang Ru's gaze at Zhao Xiao was extremely firm: "Don't worry, Zhao Gongzi, I won't hold you back." What's more, there are many monsters and monsters in the border between the two countries, and if you take me, it may be useful. ”
"Did Liang Tao ask you to follow me?" Zhao Xiao's face was slightly gloomy.
"Yes." Jiang Ru nodded, then raised his eyes and looked directly at Zhao Xiao: "But I also have this plan myself, I hope that Zhao Gongzi will be successful." ”
"Well, even if I refuse, you'll probably follow." Zhao Xiao reluctantly agreed, and said, "Also, don't call me son." It's hard to hear! ”
"Yes, Childe." Jiang Ru covered her mouth and chuckled.
