"Zhao Xiao, I advise you, even though you are favored by the lord of the country, but if you attack and kill the local official so without scruples, can you imagine what will happen?"

Chu Mengchun was slightly startled at first, but thinking that Zhao Xiao had not set up a killer against him, he guessed that he was still afraid, and his tone changed to warning:

"In remote places, there may be occasional demons who steal the altar and bewitch the people, but you are young and vigorous, and you can't rub sand in your eyes, which is a good thing. But you must know how to be flexible in dealing with people, and you can't rely on mana and power to kill in vain!

Even if your Wu Kuijun succeeds Gao Pinggong and supervises the military of Pujiaguan, but it is related to the people's livelihood and government affairs of a place, how can you be so arbitrary? If you can't believe the Xinglong County Order, can't you discuss it with the official in advance? ”

"At this time, you still talk about this kind of officialdom?" Zhao Xiao's expression was cold: "Xinglong County is still like this, Qingyan County is obscene ghosts and gods, and evil spirits are probably all over the city and countryside." Since I have been ordered to hunt down demons, the first thing I want to do is to sweep away all these evils, so that they do not collude with the Jiuli Kingdom. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Mengchun looked incredulous: "The local shrines are all ritual gods, but there are spiritual experiences, and they are all inspected by our Chongxuan Pavilion." Do you still want to slander these rituals and be treasonous? ”

"Yes or no, I'll find out after I inspect it carefully." Zhao Xiao said.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!" Chu Mengchun struggled again and again, and was about to improve his true qi, but he felt a tingling pain in his chest, and he didn't know when a forbidden charm was wrapped around his throat.

"Jin Guan Yu lock the spell firmly, don't struggle." Zhao Huang said: "This is the technique used by the Tianxia Dynasty to prohibit the cultivation of evil qi veins, if you forcibly raise your true qi, be careful that the qi machine backlashes in the meridians and hurts yourself." ”

Among the monks and sorcerers trained by the Tianxia Imperial Court, they are the best at casting prohibitions and purifying evil spirits. The ancestors of the Zhao family had exchanges with the forbidden beings, so there were several forbidden spells handed down.

However, the method of prohibition is not rare, and those who have achieved success in refining qi can also use cloth qi to enforce the ban. Zhao Huang supplemented it with a charm, which was like putting a complicated lock on the ban, which was difficult to break.

It's just that this kind of forbidden spell can suppress Chu Mengchun, and it has no effect on Shang Liang Tao and other masters, and even the prohibition on the woman with the hat next to him is slowly weakening.

"Dao friendly cultivation." Zhao Xiao bowed his hand to the woman in the hat and praised him: "Seeing that Daoist friends use the piano as a tool and play music in the array, could it be that he was born in the Fengming Valley of the Western Tu?" I vaguely remember that Feng Minggu was unwilling to assist the Yaochi Kingdom in raising sword soldiers, so he was attacked by the Baixiang King into the sect's dojo, and the disciples had to flee the Yaochi Kingdom. I never thought that I would see a descendant of Fengming Valley here. ”

The woman in the hat sat side by side, she did not show her true face, she pressed the strings with her ten fingers, and whispered: "The Marquis of Zhenming is proficient in cultivating immortals, and it is really extraordinary. In Xialu forgot the machine, he didn't dare to call himself a disciple of Fengming Valley, and now he is just a casual cultivator in the rivers and lakes, and he is sheltered under the guard of Chu County. ”

As soon as Zhao Xiao heard it, he understood that the Fengming Valley Gate had already been scattered, and Lu Wangji went to the East Land alone, wanting to settle down, cultivate diligently, and serve the Chongxuan Pavilion It was very common.

"Fengming Valley is full of elegant and elegant people, and the sound of the piano is far from the vulgar and dusty, and I don't want to sink into the red dust." Zhao Xiao did not speak contemptuously, but persuaded him with good words: "I and Chu Junshou are worldly people, if there is a dispute, it is nothing more than for that bit of power, gold, silver and wealth, which is really against the pure and true righteousness of Xuanmen." Daoists don't have to be implicated in it, and they will damage themselves. ”

"Does Marquis Zhenming also understand piano music?" Lu Wangji was silent for a while, and then asked.

Zhao Xiao was a little embarrassed in his heart, so he could only reply hard: "Forgive Zhao for not understanding Xianle, only a few words of rough comprehension, please Yazheng - the sound of the Daoyou strings is high-pitched and far away, like a colorful phoenix fluttering its wings into the clouds, but there is a little less meaning of review." It is necessary to know that even though the colorful phoenix is comparable to the extraordinary bird, it is still necessary to eat and practice, drink the spring liquor, and have a glimpse of the world, which is the wonderful purpose of the fairy family. ”

His understanding of music is at best a variety of rituals, singing, ringing bells and chimes.

However, Lu Wangji seemed to really listen, and sat there without trying to break free from the ban, lowering his head and caressing the strings, looking attentive.

"Hey! What are you in a daze! Why don't you come and save me? Next to him, Chu Mengchun said angrily: "Didn't you say that you have a lot of ability?" used to play the piano and music all day long, but now when it's your turn to make a move, you pretend to be a little lady's grievance, who is it pretending to be?! ”

Zhao Xiao laughed secretly when he heard this, he had to see that this Lu Wangji was as his name, and he devoted himself to cultivating immortals and enlightening Xuan, without the slightest hint of cunning. Zhao Xiao's words made her comprehend, so she ignored the disturbances of the outside world, and even forgot about the matter of being responsible for rescuing Chu Mengchun.

Zhao Xiao's previous words were somewhat out of self-humility, but seeing that Lu Wangji was in a state of undisturbed and self-cultivation, he couldn't help but be a little ashamed of himself, he was the real immortal cultivator, and he had a few surgical methods, but he was bent on rolling in the world.

"Chu Junshou, you and I don't bother this Lu Wangji Daoist." Zhao Huang lifted Chu Mengchun onto the chariot and motioned to He Dangguan to disperse the tribal servants who surrounded him.

Chu Mengchun still refused to give in, and scolded: "There has long been a rumor in the DPRK that you Zhao Huang is a mad dog raised by the lord of the country, and if you are short of money, I will let you out and bite someone." I thought it was an exaggeration, but today I have seen it! ”

"Yes, it's really short of money now." Zhao Xiao reprimanded: "But what we lack is front-line military money and food!" It's not for the material enjoyment of a few dignitaries! ”

Chu Mengchun laughed angrily: "I understand, you don't dare to attack Gao Pinggong and bite our Yi'an Chu clan in turn?" I don't think you're dying fast enough! ”

Zhao Xiao said: "Chu County Shou, after you left the county office, General Wei has sent someone to take over the county government office and your mansion and manor. Do you think this kind of thing is really my willful will? ”

Chu Mengchun raised his luck several times, but he was restricted by the neck prohibition, and his face changed red: "Do you think that you can act recklessly because someone is protecting you?" ”

Zhao Huang asked rhetorically: "Is it really me who is relying on someone to cover up and act recklessly?" Chu County Shou, you are also a magistrate, and you have a cultivation body, you should be aware of the situation of Xinglong County's demons being worshiped by incense, but you turn a blind eye to this, this is not a crime of negligence that can be prevaricated. ”

At the beginning, after Zhao Huang decided to work 3,000 on the rat demon, he had already sent a letter to inform General Wei and asked how to deal with the Xinglong County Order.

Now General Wei has succeeded Gao Pinggong, and he is the governor of Pujiaguan and the military of several southern counties, and has the right to appoint and dismiss him at the right of opportunity. The lord of the country sent General Wei to guard Pujia Pass, in addition to dealing with the Jiuli Kingdom, another arrangement was to clean up the forces of Chongxuanguan in the southern counties.

But this matter is not easy, although Chongxuanguan cannot control Pujia Pass, but the few counties in the pass that provide military supplies for the front are mostly served by the children of the four surnames of Chongxuanguan.

For example, Qingyan County, after so many years of operation, Chongxuan Pavilion has deep roots in the local forces, and it is their manpower both openly and secretly, and there is no way to deal with it without some extraordinary means.

In fact, Zhao Xiao's original idea was to win the Xinglong County Order on the charge of privately taking bribes from the treasury officials. As a result, General Wei planned to go further, and simply used the Xinglong County Order as a bait to lure Chu Mengchun out of the county office, and he directly sent troops to seize it, so that Zhao Huang could let it go.

Chu Mengchun was also prepared, and brought hundreds of private soldiers with him, originally thinking that even if he couldn't take Zhao Xiao, he could force him back and regain control of Xinglong County.

But he never expected that Wu Kuijun had been staring at the entire Qingyan County from the beginning, and he didn't plan to let him go back to regain power.

"Has the lord of the country tasted the sweetness?" Chu Mengchun was full of hatred and anger: "It's not enough to bring down a Jiujiang Zheng clan, now do you plan to liquidate our Yi'an Chu clan as well?" Do you really think that the first one will be indifferent?! ”

Zhao Xiao did not answer, perhaps the lord felt that Liang Tao's initiative to retreat was a sign of the powerlessness of the Chongxuan Pavilion, so he planned to take advantage of the situation to pursue and cut off the forces of the Chongxuan Pavilion step by step.

In any case, General Wei was able to take action against a county guard, and he must have received the authorization of the lord of the country.

However, Zhao Xiao, who has seen Liang Tao himself, knows very well what Liang Taohuai has such grand visions, and this national teacher is destined to make a big gain in the future if he retreats slightly.

"Let's go." Zhao Xiao pressed one hand on Chu Mengchun's shoulder: "I don't know if Chu Junshou has enough weight, please ask the national teacher to look down at this red world." ”

……

The sea of clouds is turning, the Lan Qi is flowing, and between the reckless clouds and mist, there are occasionally three or five strange peaks looming.

In a trance, there is a round of red sun rising, breaking the clouds, swinging the sky, and the sun is wide open, shining all the clouds red.

If there is a person with extraordinary eyesight, he will definitely be able to glimpse the sea of clouds in which the fire refining true text is bent into a seal, forming a net to protect the mountains and mountains.

After a while, the fire refining true text in the sea of clouds gradually disappeared, and the red sun set, revealing a tall man with red eyebrows, he was dressed in ochre short brown, the hem and cuffs were patched, a pair of bare feet were covered with calluses, dark skin, hairless legs and shins, full of the appearance of a poor old peasant in the countryside, not like a master of immortal law.

But this man's eyes were like a bright lamp, scorching and shining, and ordinary people did not dare to look at him when they saw it.

"Mr. Huaiming, Yu Pengzuo went to Baimaochang and said that there was an urgent report." A warrior with a bow came forward and said.

"Urgent? Could it be that the imperial court officials and soldiers are going to attack a certain village? Mr. Wymming asked.

"Yu Pengzuo didn't elaborate, it seems to be related to the history of a military commander of Wukui."

Mr. Huaiming nodded, then looked up as if he had sensed, just in time to see a meteor shooting straight down from the top of the mountain.

"Mr. Jingming is out of customs?" The warrior with the bow was slightly surprised: "Huh? In that direction is the white thatched field. But we didn't send anyone to disturb Mr. Jingming's retreat. ”

"I think he sensed it." Mr. Huaiming's feet were in the air: "You continue to patrol the mountain, and I will find out what happened." ”

After saying this, Mr. Huaiming stepped on the fire cloud and fled.

After a while, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and a rural field appeared in front of you, the vast thatch swayed with the wind, and the white floc flew like a wave.

However, this seemingly warm wilderness scenery is actually a hidden murderous motive. If a foreign enemy attacks, thousands of shuttle darts and grass arrows will immediately fly out, and the army of the Huaxu Imperial Court will be defeated here.

"Mr. Huaiming, are you here too?"

When Second Brother Yu saw the fire cloud falling, he immediately got up and saluted. In front of him was an old man in a linen robe, his eyes wrapped in cloth towels, and the burn scars on his face were faintly visible.

Mr. Huaiming nodded slightly, and then said to the blindfolded old man, "Jingming, why did you get out of the customs in advance?" ”

"I sensed that someone outside the mountain was exerting extraordinary mana, instigating the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth to rain down evil thunder." Although Mr. Jingming's eyes were blinded, he seemed to have an unusual feeling: "Yu Pengzuo came here this time to report on this matter, right?" ”

"Yes." Second Brother Yu didn't say anything, but he admired Mr. Jingming's foresight in his heart.

"Tell me exactly what's going on." As the three elders of Chiyun, Huaiming and Jingming did not have the dignity of the elders, and casually motioned for the second brother to sit down.

Mr. Huaiming simply sat on the ground, raised his hand to take a large handful of thatch in the air, and stroked the ten fingers of his hands, and the sparks loomed from his fingertips, and then began to weave.

Second Brother Yu was not surprised by this, and began to tell about what he saw along the way from Qiaozhang Village to Xinglong County, especially focusing on Zhao Xiao's practice of opening the altar and summoning the Lei Fa Temple.

"Zhao Xiao? Deacon of the Golden Tripod Division? Mr. Huaiming's hand moved.

Second Brother Yu nodded and said, "Yes, according to what Lieutenant Qiao Zhang Village said, this Zhao Huang is still the history of Huaiying Pavilion Sanqing and Wu Kui. However, his most important identity should be the Marquis of Huaxu State. ”

"I've heard of this man." Mr. Huaiming first showed a solemn expression, and then continued to weave thatch: "It is said that the Jiujiang Zheng clan in the blood of the immortal line of the Chongxuan Pavilion was suddenly defeated a year ago, and it was this person who spoke in front of the lord of Huaxu State. ”

Mr. Jingming said: "The defeat of the Zheng clan in Jiujiang is not all Zhao Huang's puffing up of his lips and tongue. ”

"Of course!" Mr. Huaiming snorted coldly: "Now this Huaxu lord seems to be gentle and benevolent, but in fact he is the most insidious and vicious!" Zhan Ming went to the meeting alone, but what was the result? ”

Hearing this, Second Brother Yu was also a little angry in his heart, and Mr. Jingming said, "Mo Sheng is angry, continue to speak." ”

"According to the lieutenant of Qiaozhang Village, the rat demon Lao 3,000 has been completely killed by Zhao Huang's law summoning thunder, and the remaining demon pill has also been taken away by Zhao Huang." Second Brother Yu said: "In addition, a group of demons and demons driven by Lao 3,000 were also killed under Zhao Huang's arrangement. ”

"He's prepared." Mr. Huaiming's hand did not stop: "At the beginning, I gave you a flying fire burning talisman, although it was able to turn the obscenity of the Void Sun True Monarch into ruins, but I couldn't find the location of the rat demon's lair, but I didn't expect it to hide in the underground of Xinglong County!" ”

Mr. Jingming raised his hand and stroked the blindfold, and there was a faint fire light in the position of his eyes: "The smell of people in the city block the induction, it seems that my candlelight is still insufficient." ”

"Now that Lao Sanqian has been killed, it is a matter of worry." Mr. Huai Ming said: "But Zhao Xiao's cultivation power is beyond expectations, even with the help of scientific rituals, he can cut down the temple and punish evil in one fell swoop, which shows the foundation of this person!" ”
