Chapter 133: Fire Refining Twin Golden Eyes
Second Brother Yu couldn't help but say, "There are many monks and magicians in the world who study rituals and rituals, and I haven't seen a few who can do this. At that time, I couldn't see it clearly, but I also felt that the qi between heaven and earth was affected by the altar. Especially the evil thunder, the majestic Xuanhe, has a power that others can hardly compare in the atmosphere of destroying evil demons. β
Mr. Huaiming pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Jingming, what do you think?" β
"What Yu Pengzuo said is not bad." Mr. Jingming nodded and said: "I just sensed that the yin and yang qi outside the mountain was urged, so I carried the candlelight, and vaguely glimpsed that there were generals and soldiers in the clouds, and the pattern was strictly organized. β
"The method of summoning is not surprising." Mr. Huaiming said.
"It's not that simple." Mr. Jingming shook his head and said, "That kind of meteorological pattern, I have only accidentally seen it on the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Officer. β
Among the three elders of Chiyun, Mr. Jing Ming has the longest life and the most experience, and most of the Xuangong techniques inherited in Chiyun Capital are deduced and created by Mr. Jing Ming.
Even if Chiyun Capital does not pay attention to the position of dignity and inferiority, no one will question Mr. Jingming on the way to the technique.
"Tianxia Dynasty Praise Officer?" Mr. Huaiming was thoughtful.
Mr. Jingming said: "Yu Pengzuo, you seem to have something to say. β
"When I was following Zhao Xiao, I was once attacked by a secret attack." Second Brother Yu's expression was serious: "The other party used a technique to dissolve ink with gas, and while hiding his body, he could also send out a sword shadow to hurt people." I couldn't see through the other person's description, and I didn't want to attract attention, so I had to leave in a hurry. β
"This shows that in addition to you, there are people following Zhao Xiao." Mr. Huaiming said: "I received news earlier that many local wealthy and powerful families have privately offered rewards to Zhao Xiao, and the demons and evil people of Huaxu Kingdom have targeted him. In addition, he is now in Xinglong County to punish evil spirits and destroy temples, and the ghosts, gods and spirits in the surrounding counties of Pujiaguan are probably going to be restless. β
Second Brother Yu scratched his head and asked, "Could it be that the other party regards me as a demon and evil party competing for a reward?" β
"Maybe it's just some powerful people." Mr. Huaiming rubbed the thatch and looked south: "Now the demons and demons of the Jiuli Kingdom are also ready to move, Zhao Huang is the commander of the Wukui army, if he can kill him, it will also be beneficial to the army of the Jiuli Kingdom." β
"However, in addition to cutting down temples and punishing evil spirits, Zhao Huang's main official business should be to raise military money and food, and as far as I know, the big families in Xinglong County were even detained by Zhao Huang in the government office, and they were willing to release people only after they asked for money and food." Second Brother Yu said.
Mr. Huaiming asked, "What about the local prefectural order?" Will he allow Zhao to do this? β
Second Brother Yu said with a smile: "At the same time as Zhao Huang summoned Lei Fa Temple, the Xinglong County Order was immediately taken down by the soldiers. β
Mr. Huaiming raised his eyebrows: "The action is not a little muddy and watery, such a sharp road, not like those families raised by high-ranking families." β
"Before I went back to Cangwuling, I heard some more news, and I learned that Wu Kuijun is currently dealing with the local officials in the area of Qingyan County." Second Brother Yu added: "Zhao Huang not only detained the county order, but also met the Qingyan county guard who came to hold him accountable when he left Xinglong County. β
"Qingyan County Shouchu Mengchun? This person's ability is mediocre, and he is nothing more than relying on the magic weapon left by his father. Mr. Huaiming narrowed his fiery eyes: "I understand, their Wu Kui Army is in the name of raising money, food, and military supplies to sweep away the local Chongxuanguan forces for the lord of the country. β
Second Brother Yu said: "It's hard for me to say what others do, but I secretly observed Zhao Xiao's practices and found that he raised money and food, not at the common people. β
Mr. Huaiming was silent, and Mr. Jingming said with a smile: "Yu Pengzuo, do you think that Zhao Huang can be recruited into Chiyun Capital?" β
Second Brother Yu's expression was cautious: "I'm afraid I won't be happy with someone like this." β
"If a person of his status wants to join Chiyundu, it is impossible to rely only on the word willingness!" Mr. Huaiming said bluntly: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, we can't forget that he is still a court official of Huaxu Kingdom just because Zhao Huang has been a demon and destroying the temple, not to mention that he still has a knighthood." β
"But ......" Second Brother Yu still said: "Zhao Huang even reminded the Qiaozhang Village Imperial Court that it was going to recruit Ding, if he didn't care for the people, he didn't need to say that." β
Mr. Huaiming said with a smile: "Maybe you have been in Cangwuling for a long time, and you have never seen the means of the ministers and nobles inviting people to buy people's hearts. A little favor to please the people, there is no shortage of this generation throughout the ages.
He Zhao Huang told him in advance that he would recruit Ding, but didn't he still have to recruit Ding in the end? Over the years, we have also figured out the armaments and military affairs in the area of Pujia Pass, really in terms of the number of people, Gao Pinggong has guarded these years, has there been less soldiers and horses under his command?
But where did the soldiers end up? Why don't you go and work for Gaoping Gong and the local nobles! If Zhao Huang and they really have a heart, they might as well let Gao Pinggong and the wealthy families from all over the country sacrifice their troops, return the soldiers, and then strictly train them, why not recruit additional soldiers before the war ends? β
Second Brother Yu lowered his head and found that he was still a little naΓ―ve and short-sighted.
Mr. Huaiming continued: "Also, you said that Zhao Huang raised money and grain with the big families in the county, then I want to ask one more question, where did these big families get this full warehouse of money and grain?" β
Second Brother Yu was speechless, and Mr. Huaiming said: "In the final analysis, the secretary of the Manchu Dynasty of Huaxu State only wants to be the master of the sky, and he is reluctant to let his hands and feet get dust, and if the people have no money and food, they will plunder it from the hands of the powerful and powerful."
Then they raised the next batch of powerful households, and when the melons were ripe, they sent people to harvest. Zhao Xiao is nothing more than such a person who picks melons, as for whether he himself has a breeze on his sleeves or a mouth full of oil, it doesn't matter at all.
What's more, Zhao Xiao's various actions now are all behind their deception above the court of Huaxu Kingdom, and how much of it comes from his own heart? Do you really know that? β
Second Brother Yu looked dazed, and Mr. Jingming on the side said, "Huaiming, your words are too harsh. There is no need to force everyone to be with us. The court is nothing more than an honest and virtuous official, and it is already a favorable party to be able to do so.
If Zhao Huang really has the heart to love the people, it is not appropriate for us to keep him away thousands of miles away. It is true that this kind of person may not agree with our Chiyundu, but it does not prevent us from making friends with him, even if there is one more way to listen to the news. β
Mr. Huaiming took a deep breath: "It's me who went too far, since I said so...... Yu Pengzuo, you are in charge of this matter, how about it? β
"Huh?" Second Brother Yu didn't understand.
"Now that the Wu Kui Army has taken over Pujia Pass, we also need someone to find out their situation." Mr. Huaiming said: "Although we have our men in Guancheng, there has always been a lack of people who can approach the high positions in the army. β
Second Brother Yu hesitated slightly: "Does Mr. Huaiming want me to go to Zhao Xiao's side to find out the situation?" I'm afraid that Zhao Xiao won't trust me, a foreign monk. β
"You don't have to go in person." Mr. Huai Ming said: "Isn't the Wu Kui Army going to recruit soldiers? It must start from the villages everywhere, and our people will be able to take the opportunity to join them. You pick a few suitable ones and try to get close to Zhao Xiao and probe his tone. β
Mr. Huaiming gave a few words of encouragement to the second brother Yu, and before he said goodbye and left, he picked up the basket that had just been woven in his hand: "When you pass by Dongtian Village at the foot of the mountain, give this basket to Liu Xiaomei, she has just given birth to a child, and she has to be busy working in the field, so it is not easy to take care of the child." Sending a back basket also saves her worry. β
Second Brother Yu took the basket and said with a smile: "Mr. Huaiming's craftsmanship is really good, when will you make one for me." β
"Go, go, go! In the past, I asked each of you to learn at least two or three trades, but it turned out to be perfunctory, and I am still waiting for you to make straw sandals for me! Mr. Wymming dangled a pair of bare feet impatiently.
Mr. Jingming said with a smile: "Yu Pengzuo, you don't have to listen to his nonsense, how many people used to give him straw sandals, but he gave them to the sergeants patrolling the mountains, saying that they only walked on their legs." β
"Would you be dumb if you didn't say a few words?" Mr. Huaiming waved his hand at Second Brother Yu and drove away: "Let's go!" What to do, what to do! Don't be in front of me, I'm not a rich man, I don't have money to reward you! β
Second Brother Yu couldn't stop smiling, and after saluting the two gentlemen, he took the basket and left the white thatched field.
After the second brother left, Mr. Jingming said: "You are too excited, be careful to teach another Yang Liujun." β
Mr. Huaiming closed his eyes and sighed, "I just don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past." The last time he was weak and negligent, how much did Chiyun pay for it? β
"But what is the result of Yang Liujun? How many people have been involved in blindly adventuring? Mr. Jingming pressed the blindfold, and a trace of blood seeped out from the gap, and the wind instantly dissipated like boiling water.
"I've heard of Zhao Xiao, he's a student of Zhang Duanjing, right?" Mr. Huaiming said: "Zhang Duanjing was clever and persuaded us to belong to Huaxu State, and later it was he who secretly assisted Yang Liujun in Xingluo County.
Now that I think about it, our Chiyun has ended up now, and it is all closely related to him, do I want to question it, Zhang Duanjing had bad intentions from the beginning. β
"Don't be angry." Mr. Jing Ming said: "When Zhan Ming was robbed in Dongshengdu, he was the first to secretly interrogate, so that we could evacuate people in time and minimize casualties." If he had bad intentions, he would have joined forces with Chongxuan Pavilion to encircle and suppress him. β
"Have you ever thought that Zhang Duanjing just doesn't want to get his hands dirty, and at the same time pretend to be a good person?" Mr. Huaiming's words were a little angry: "In the battle of Xingluo County, the divine sword has clearly been cast, but he doesn't use it privately, we don't know what kind of purpose he has!"
Now that he has sent his students to Pujia Pass, what kind of plan is stored in it? If we don't say anything about such an important thing, can we still trust him? β
"I still believe in him." Mr. Jingming's tone was firm.
"What do you see again?" Mr. Huaiming couldn't help but doubt: "Ten years ago, when you encountered a drastic change, you claimed to have seen the Danling Fire Mansion, and your eyes were lit, and you are no longer mortal. The two eyeballs burst out of their eyes and turned into Yan Jing to penetrate into the leylines of Cangwuling, becoming the fundamental spiritual text of the method of sealing the mountain and summoning clouds, which could stop Liang Tao. β
"It's ironic." Mr. Jingming stroked the blindfolded cloth: "The three of us witnessed the decline of the sect and the suffering of the common people, and we were disgusted with the immortal way, and we thought that it was a fallatic heresy to become an immortal. However, at the critical juncture, I saw the Danling Fire Mansion, which was ignited by Dong Dan Yuanjun. β
Mr. Huaiming did not hide his slanderous words: "In my opinion, these Heavenly Immortals are just a group of cold-eyed and cold-blooded inhuman aliens. That Dongdan Yuanjun left the Chiyun Mountain Inheritance decaying alone, and wanted to guide us who had abandoned the lineage of the inheritance.
When we are most desperate, a trace of life-saving nectar falls, as if we are curious about how long we can struggle, it is completely the heart of a naughty child! If it's really a naughty boy, it's just that, the Dao Immortal family is still so playful, it can be seen how despicable they are! β
"I don't think Dong Dan Yuanjun's ignition is a random trick." Mr. Jing Ming said: "Although I have lost my eyes, I deeply feel that I have been blind and short-sighted in the past. Zhang Duanjing got the sword and didn't use it, not because he was hiding his secrets, but because he didn't want to gamble. Liang Tao's life is like a flying dragon in the sky, and now is the most prosperous and powerful time, and there is no full chance of winning with the divine sword alone. β
"Wyvern in the sky?" Mr. Huaiming laughed out loud: "The Zheng clan of Jiujiang has fallen, and now the lord of the country has borrowed the Wukui army to clean up the children of the Chongxuan Pavilion in the southern counties, do you call this the flying dragon in the sky?" β
"The matter of fate is unpredictable." Mr. Jingming said steadily: "In your opinion, it is the beginning of the decline of the Immortal Blood Yin and the Chongxuan Pavilion, do you know that this is not the earthly involvement that Liang Tao wants to give up?" And I noticed that Liang Tao was brewing a big move, so I could take the initiative to show weakness on the surface. β
β¦β¦
Zhao Xiao stood in the middle of the mandala and held up the token.
The wind inside and outside the mandala is unstable, so that the monks of the Descending Hall must hold the flags around them, so as not to lose the road guide sign for the altar soldiers who come and go.
Ordinary people can't see with the naked eye, Zhao Huang is summoning the soldiers of the altar to search for ghosts and gods at the moment, but it took half a day to find the ghosts and spirits in the area of Quartz City, the Qingyan County Governor's Office.
"It seems that he abandoned the altar and fled." Zhao Huang had no choice but to recall the soldiers and withdraw the mandala.
Seeing that Zhao Huang did not show a happy expression, He Dangguan asked, "Didn't Deacon Zhao find the white cane duke?" β
The White Cane Gong is the Qingyan City God, but the situation is different from Lao Sanqian, as early as the Tianxia Dynasty, he was already a ritual god.
However, after Zhao Huang escorted Chu Mengchun to Quartz City, he found that there was no aura of surrender in the City God Shrine, and he had no sense of tricks several times.
Obviously, Zhao Xiao's actions in Xinglong County brought great deterrence to the ghosts and spirits in Qingyan County. They had no intention of fighting Zhao Huang to the end, but resolutely gave up the altar seat, leaving Zhao Huang nowhere to be found.
In this way, General Wei was able to make the soldiers raid these shrines and temples with peace of mind, confiscate the treasures that the demons had not yet taken away, and those temple blessings were all imprisoned and waiting to be released.
Zhao Huang was actually a little helpless, after all, this still allowed the demon to escape, but General Wei was very satisfied with Zhao Xiao.
When Zhao Huang returned to the place where he stayed, he saw two large boxes sent by General Wei, one containing gold and jade treasures, and the other containing various spiritual materials and magic weapons, all of which were obtained from the local seizure of Quartz City, and some of them were copied directly from Chu Mengchun's mansion manor.
"That's a quick move." Zhao Xiao sighed.
