Facing Liang Tao's questioning, Zhao Xiao was silent for a while, and he secretly asked Ling Xiao: "The matter has come to this, the true yuan lock is in front of me, how should I answer?" ”

"You can handle it with a few casual words, but you came to ask me." Ling Xiao said bluntly: "You didn't test Liang Tao enough, you still want to test me?" ”

Zhao Xiao, who was pointed out of his intentions, was speechless, Since the Yingzhou meeting, Zhao Huang has been a little suspicious of the origin of the Lingxiao, but he has not mentioned it.

Now that Liang Tao took out the True Yuan Lock, but said a completely different origin from the Lingxiao, how could Zhao Xiao not be suspicious?

Either Liang Tao deliberately lied and lured Zhao Huang to speak out and correct it, so it would inevitably be exposed. Either Lingxiao hid himself from the beginning and was untruthful.

Worse yet, both may coexist.

"Master Kuni." Zhao Xiao was helpless, and said: "I think I am also a person who cultivates immortals, and I have the heart to search for immortals, isn't it surprising?" ”

Liang Tao smiled: "In front of you is the immortal of the world, in addition to Chongxuan Pavilion, where else do you want to visit?" ”

Zhao Xiao didn't hide it: "Master Guoshi, you do have the realm of the immortal family, but it is not what I like to see." What's more, with what I have done in the past, I am destined not to go to Chongxuan Pavilion. ”

"Saying this, it can be seen that you are not a real immortal cultivator." Liang Tao looked at the Zhenyuan Lock: "You want to get this jade back in your heart, and you directly respond to my request, thinking that this thing has a lot to do with it." With your temperament, it is not like asking for it for yourself, but for others. ”

Zhao Xiao was not surprised that Liang Tao was able to anticipate this, the Zhenyuan lock fell into his hands, and he naturally knew better than Zhao Huang how it was used.

"I just hope that the National Teacher will keep his promise and return the jade cong after I finish arranging the rituals." Zhao Huang is indeed poor, and there is nothing to say at this point, Zhenyuan is locked in front of him, and it is impossible to grab it.

Liang Tao moved his fingers lightly, and directly took away the eucalyptus wine jar, and the Zhenyuan lock disappeared between his palms.

"You should know that I have cast a talisman in Pujia Pass to set a ban." Liang Tao said bluntly: "Pujiaguan is the intersection of the leylines in the south of Huaxu Kingdom, but the qi is sometimes stagnant, causing wells and ponds to gush. What are you going to do with it? ”

"Wells and ponds gush springs, thinking that the leylines and water veins are intertwined, and the leylines are overflowing, so they urge the water veins to erupt." Zhao Huang suddenly had a thought: "I can try to comb the leyline, evacuate part of its qi, light the spiritual acupoint, and then set up the mandala to settle the leyline." ”

"Then you take care of it." Liang Tao stood up and spoke.

"Wait!" Zhao Xiao opened his mouth and stopped the other party: "This kind of thing is not easy, the Dharma of combing the earth's veins also needs spiritual materials as a guide, although I am a deacon of the Jinding Division, but the use of spiritual materials must be recorded in the eucalyptus, it is impossible to be favoritistic in order to help you arrange the ritual and ritual affairs!" ”

Liang Tao raised his eyes: "What?" Take the opportunity to ask for spiritual materials? ”

"If you don't give it, I won't be able to do it." Zhao Xiao said bluntly: "Combing the earth's veins and calming the qi machine, at least thirty catties of yellow pulp, a fist-sized Danshan moon stone, and the Kunlun jade used in the array are also indispensable, so come one hundred catties first." The rest of the bits and pieces, when I get to Pujia Pass to investigate carefully, I will tell you...... Oh, Jiang Ru wants to recuperate from his injuries, who am I going to talk to at that time? ”

"The lion opens his mouth, but you have no scruples." Liang Tao was not annoyed.

"If you can't believe it, just find someone else." Zhao Xiao looked indifferent: "I don't have to have that jade cong, if the national teacher likes it, it's okay to keep it for yourself." ”

Liang Tao looked at Zhao Xiao, stared at the sharp falcon for a moment, and then showed a subtle smile: "When you go to Pujia Pass, someone will send spiritual materials to the door." Just hope you don't let me down. ”

"I'm not a perfunctory person, what I should do and what I can do, I will naturally do a good job." Zhao Xiao replied.

"I hope so." Liang Tao smiled and spread his hands: "There is one more thing, return Chu Mengchun's treasure money." ”

"How?" After Zhao Xiao took Chu Mengchun, he also took away his magic weapon, but unfortunately he didn't have the leisure to explore recently.

"You take that magic weapon and be careful to bring trouble on yourself, or it is better to return it to me." Liang Tao said.

Zhao Xiao knew that these precious magic weapons had a history of inheritance, and it was really not suitable for outsiders to forcibly occupy them, so he had to take out the square hole coin from his arms and return it to the other party.

After collecting the treasure money, Liang Tao walked out of the water pavilion with his sleeves and stepped on the water. There was a moonlight reflection in the water, and he seemed to be walking in the void, and the light and shadow disappeared for a while.

After Liang Tao left, Zhao Xiao sat in the water pavilion and heard Ling Xiao ask coldly, "You don't believe me?" ”

"Why did the Immortal say this?" Zhao Xiao asked rhetorically, and his tone was not good.

"You said to Liang Tao that you don't need the True Yuan Lock, it's just a test of me." Ling Xiao's tone was cold: "It's just that I didn't expect that Liang Tao could provoke you and me with a few words." Haven't you thought that since Liang Tao knows that there is another immortal family behind you, he will definitely use all means to tempt and tempt, and even divide and disintegrate you and me. ”

Zhao Xiao was also not polite: "Lingxiao is an immortal, Liang Guoshi wants to use me to arrange rituals and rituals, how can he tolerate me being under the control of other immortal masters?" ”

"You think I'm manipulating you?" Ling Xiao forced to ask: "I understand, I am hiding in the depths of your brain palace, are you afraid that I will take away your house?" ”

"There's another person in the depths of the brain, and it's always uncomfortable." Zhao replied.

"In that case, you should get back the True Yuan Lock as soon as possible." Lingxiao's tone was not good.

Zhao Huang said: "True Yuan Lock, is that really just the key to open the Cave Heaven Immortal Mansion?" ”

"You doubt my identity?" Lingxiao asked.

"Shouldn't I doubt it?" Zhao Xiao smiled bitterly: "Actually, I should have thought that Xianzhen is disgusted with dust and filth, at the beginning in the Baizhi Gongdong Mansion, my cultivation was still shallow, why did you want to live in my brain palace?" You can stay in the True Yuan Lock and wait for the right person. ”

Ling Xiao snorted coldly: "Do you think anyone can borrow a body to lodge?" If the cultivation is a little higher, the soul will be guarded, and if the True Yuan Lock falls into the hands of Liang Tao and other characters, I will not be able to hide it deeply. I've been trapped in the True Yuan Lock for too long, and I don't want to drag it out any longer. ”

"You still haven't answered my question." Zhao Xiao's tone was stiff.

"I can only say that I am not a too void Yuanjun, if it is said that it is the title of the descendants, it is also the posterity's own opinion, and it has nothing to do with me." Lingxiao replied.

Zhao Xiao was not satisfied with this answer, but Ling Xiao was unwilling to confess, and he couldn't force him to continue.

……

Two days later, Zhao Huang went to visit Jiang Ru again.

Whether it is a human or a demon, if you have achieved cultivation, you are not afraid of any illness, but you will still be injured.

Moreover, because the cultivators have strong physiques and strong muscles and vigorous organs, the injuries they suffer are often unusual, and ordinary people simply cannot bear them, and it will take more time and time to heal them.

Jiang Ru was still bedridden, and when she saw Zhao Xiao coming, her expression was complicated, and she was a little dark in joy.

"It's better to recuperate slowly." Zhao Xiao probed Jiang Ru's pulse and said: "You will stay in this Bihu Manor these days, and when it is a little better, you can see the wind and the light, and then go back to Dilung Mountain." I'm going to leave for Pujia Pass later, and I'm afraid I won't have time to visit. ”

Thinkers

"I ......" Jiang Ru couldn't hide her frustration, she actually hoped that Zhao Xiao could accompany her, but she knew very well that Zhao Xiao couldn't stay for herself.

"Here's another Divine Immortal Fruit." Zhao Xiao put a wooden box next to him: "You don't need this thing for the time being, but after this experience, your cultivation has been damaged, and this Divine Ke Immortal Fruit can make up for it slightly." ”

Jiang Ru shook his head slightly: "The Shenke Immortal Fruit is so rare, you have already used one for me, how can you give me the other one as well?" ”

"No matter how precious it is, it has to be used by others to be precious." Zhao Xiao said: "What's more, you also know the origin of this Divine Ke Immortal Fruit, I was able to win two coins at the Yingzhou Meeting, and it originally depended on the planning of Liang Guoshi and the other pavilions, and I didn't bother much thought at all." Since it's easy to get, it's not hard to give it away, so you don't have to worry about me. ”

Hearing the sentence "Don't worry about me", Jiang Ru's heart hurt, and tears immediately rolled in her eyes.

Zhao Xiao just pretended not to see it, looked away and looked left and right and said to him: "I have looked for Lu Wangji, she will go to Pujia Pass to help, with such a master in charge, I can save a lot of worry." But this kind of person who is dedicated to cultivating immortals and enlightening the Tao can't expect her to attack the city, but at least she can be used to guard against the spies and assassins of the Jiuli Kingdom.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there don't seem to be many people in Huaxu who have cultivated mana above me. Liang Guoshi and several pavilion leaders have to sit in various places in the country, just in case of accidents, and it is inconvenient to take action before the critical time, and I have to take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility at my level.

When I was a child, I also fantasized about how heroic and majestic it would be if I became a general of the state through the path of a monk in the pavilion. But now that I've come to this point, I can only handle the heavy work that I can't keep busy, and all kinds of big and small things can be handled properly.

Properly...... Alas, in fact, it is not too proper, it is really my turn to do it, and I feel that I can't stretch my hands and feet everywhere, either shouting here to replace the armor and weapons, or shouting that there is a lack of repair materials. Yesterday, a prisoner soldier stabbed a guard to death and escaped, and today a soldier raped a woman. Annoying! ”

Jiang Ru heard Zhao Mi's complaints, couldn't help but burst into laughter, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked: "I remember that you have repeatedly ordered your own soldiers to offend the people of the people's houses, and there are even people who rape the people's daughters?" ”

"Don't mention it, in fact, there are some guys in Quartz City who hooked up with Chu Mengchun, in order to build momentum to force Wu Kuijun to release people, engage in a blackmail method, and make a banquet to invite a few of my own soldiers." Zhao Xiao rubbed his face and said:

The soldiers were not vigilant enough, and did not resist the temptation, and followed a few singers and dancers upstairs, and a gang of domestic servants rushed in halfway through. The two sides quarreled, and a group of people came to me. I could only whip the soldiers in public and barely calm the situation. ”

"Those people are dying? How dare you do it? Jiang Ru asked in surprise.

"Now the situation is a little complicated, and it is impossible for General Wei to keep holding on to those Chongxuan Pavilion disciples." Zhao Xiao sighed and said: "The battle on the bank of the Cangshui River, after all, it was Liang Guoshi who personally took action to punish the evils, and this credit is too great, and the lord of the country can't forcibly pursue it." ”

"Could it be that Chu Mengchun and they are going to be reinstated?" Jiang Ru asked.

"How is that possible?" Zhao Xiao said: "The power position that has been returned to the imperial court is impossible to return to Chongxuanguan." Chu Mengchun and the others are even reduced to commoners, but they are still monks of Chongxuan Pavilion, and they can still live a rich and idle life. ”

Zhao Xiao turned his mind and understood, with Jiang Ru's wisdom, how could he not know these things? Clearly lead yourself to explain, so that he can stay for a while.

"And what are you going to do now?" Jiang Ru asked again.

"The affairs of Quartz City are about to be handed over to the new county guard, and I don't have the heart to take care of it." Zhao Xiao said: "There is news from Pujia Pass, and the soldiers and horses of Jiuli Kingdom have begun to make some movements. Moreover, Liang Guoshi asked me to go to Pujiaguan to comb the earth's veins, and I also happened to plan to arrange a formation in the area of Pujiaguan to defend against the enemy. ”

"Straighten the veins?" Jiang Ru was slightly surprised: "Can you do this kind of thing?" ”

"I once got the immortal scripture of Xuanpu Hall by chance, and there is a method of combing the earth's veins in it, and I have studied it for some time, and it should be possible to cooperate with the rituals and rituals and summon the soldiers." Zhao Xiao said casually.

"Xuanpu Hall?!" Jiang Ru was shocked when she heard this.

"Well, how?" Zhao Xiao felt that he was a little lax in front of Jiang Ru, he had obtained the Xuanpu Jade Book, and he shouldn't have said much, but since he said it, he couldn't recover it, so he had to pretend to be nothing.

"I ...... The ancestor of our Jiang family is the Lingrui Heavenly Fox in the Xuanpu Cave Heaven. Jiang Ru was a little shy when she said this.

"Xuanpu Cave Heaven?" This time, it was Zhao Xiao's turn to be surprised, so he asked, "Then what is your relationship with Xuanpu Hall?" ”

"Our Jiang family has no deep connection with Xuanpu Hall." Jiang Ru shook his head and said, "There is a Yaozhi Immortal Grass in the Xuanpu Cave Heaven that is spiritually transformed, and it falls into the lower realm because of the occasional mortal heart. Legend has it that his people almost tossed and turned in the earthly world, and finally saw through the red dust, asked the immortals, and created a line of Xuanputang in the mortal world, and the merit was completed and ascension was restored. ”

"There are still such stories." Zhao Huang frowned and said, "But no matter how you say it, Xuanpu Hall and your Jiang family have some old relationship, right?" Why didn't you take refuge in Xuanputang in the first place? Instead, I found Chongxuan Pavilion? ”

Jiang Ru pondered for a while, and finally made up her mind before saying, "Who do you think is expected to become an immortal and ascend today?" ”

"It's hard for me to say about other countries, Hua Xu Guo must be Liang Guoshi." Zhao Xiao couldn't help but say, "But do you really think that Liang Guoshi will take you with him when he ascends?" Let me say something ugly, if Liang Guoshi fails to ascend in this life, won't you be busy in vain? ”

Jiang Ru smiled lightly: "You don't understand the thoughts of our Jiang family, Tianhu was originally enlightened as an auxiliary of the Immortal Family, and some things come from within their nature, and they can't be discarded at will." ”

"It's me who meddles." Zhao Xiao nodded slightly.

Jiang Ru naturally didn't care, she asked again, "Why does the first one want you to help sort out the leylines?" ”

Zhao Xiao bowed his head and was silent, Liang Tao's human Dao country was extraordinary, Jiang Ru didn't seem to understand the inside story, so Zhao Xiao was not good at talking nonsense.

"There are some things that you don't have to ask. Not knowing is good for you. ”

Zhao Xiao seemed to understand why Lingxiao was hiding a lot from him, and there were some things that he shouldn't say much. Once Liang Tao's plan for the world is made public, Hua Xu is afraid that there will be chaos in China immediately, and Zhao Xiao himself will definitely be involved and unable to extricate himself. The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.

And when Zhao Huang's rituals are gradually arranged and Liang Tao really makes a move, it is the moment of real chaos, and at that time, can Zhao Huang himself get back the Zhenyuan lock safely?
