Hearing Ling Xiao's rare reprimand, Zhao Xiao concentrated on breathing for a moment, and found that there was no disease or pain in his body, and his true qi was even more full, not at all like he was about to die and almost die.

"In the final analysis, the ritual is nothing more than borrowing the true mana of the cave immortals, or the power of ghosts, gods, and spirits, using them to instigate the qi of heaven and earth, so as to perform spells that far exceed their own cultivation." Ling Xiao said: "But you are different, just now I can see that you are in harmony with heaven and earth, and the form and spirit are in the law, and the soul will almost dissolve on the spot and dissipate between heaven and earth!" ”

When Zhao Xiao heard this, he pondered for a long time, he looked around, the qi inside and outside the mandala had calmed down as usual, the candles on the Dharma table in front of him were burned, and most of the spells prepared in advance were used, but he did not have the slightest impression of performing spells.

"Be in harmony with the sky, thoughtless, and all gods will return." Zhao Xiao muttered: "This is what the Praise Officer is pursuing, but I didn't expect that I would be able to verify this heavy realm." ”

Ling Xiao retorted, "This is just a means of autopsy, and it is not even as good as autopsy!" Autopsy can still seek the condensation of the divine soul, or for the underground master, the leader of the underworld, the underworld has accumulated enough, and it can also return to the form and rebirth of flesh and blood. And if you hadn't stopped just now, the soul and body would have dissipated on their own, and they would have dissipated to the point that nothing remained! ”

"The salute is not a person who cultivates immortals, and what he asks for is not eternal life." Zhao Xiao had no choice but to respond.

"How the hell did you come to your senses?" Lingxiao asked, "I called out my soul several times, but you didn't respond at all. ”

Zhao Xiao had no choice but to say: "I saw my grandfather in a trance, as well as the praise officials of the Tianxia Dynasty. Grandfather said that the emperor was in decline, the discipline was broken, and he had to make up for the sky with his body, and then they all disappeared. ”

"I see." Ling Xiao was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"You know what's going on?" Zhao Xiao was puzzled.

Ling Xiao did not rush to answer, but asked, "Tell me first, where does the soul go after the death of the celebrant official?" ”

"The soul returns to heaven and the earth, and so does the world." Zhao Xiao said: "The soul lingers, which just means that there is an unhealthy spirit, and we should practice the Dharma, let the soul return to heaven, and cut off the way of evil spirits." ”

"That's it?" Lingxiao's tone was unexpected.

"Die well, be open and clear, not bound by demons and evils, and not indulge in attachment, do you think anyone can do it?" Zhao Xiao sighed: "Nowadays, the world is full of ghosts and ghosts, and in the eyes of the praise officer, it is simply ridiculous!" ”

"I'm afraid that the celebrants of the past dynasties are not detained by demons and evils, but they are detained by the law." Ling Xiao said, "According to what you just said, I guess that the souls of the past generations of praise officials have been used to maintain the law without falling. ”

Zhao Xiao was speechless for a while, and Ling Xiao continued: "No wonder the gods of the Southern Earth have summoned the stars, and they can actually be sent back by you. The past generations of praise officials have maintained the discipline and law with their own souls, and you have ascended the altar to practice the law, and you have the power of heaven and earth creation, and the stars and meteors can't help you. ”

"Falling stars?" Zhao Xiao was incredulous, looked up from afar, and found that the southern half of the sky was dyed with a demonic blood red, and the clouds in the high altitude seemed to have been impacted by something, forming a huge ring-shaped hollow, which had never been seen before.

"I went to the altar to practice the Fa just to cure the plague and evil qi, how could this happen?!" Zhao Xiao was very shocked, no matter what era the Flying Star Meteor was placed in, it was a huge calamity that was enough to shake the world, and it was actually resolved by himself unconsciously?

Zhao Xiao knew very well that he did not have this kind of ability, and his Dharma skills were said to be far from reaching the level of mediation and creation, and the extreme yin and yang.

But when I think about it, the celebrant does not force himself to be alone. The celebrant of the Tianxia Dynasty is often a joint effort of all people to set up mandalas, Zhao Huang previously set up many mandalas in several southern counties, and also used the true form of the talisman seals that Liang Tao threw to various places, almost exhausting the number of heaven and earth.

There are few people in the world who can compete with this kind of power, so in the Tianxia Dynasty, the immortal cultivators, the big demons and the giants did not dare to make trouble.

Zhao Xiao had only seen similar descriptions in the books of his predecessors before, but when he experienced it himself, he could understand that this kind of power was by no means a simple ritual and ritual.

As Ling Xiao said, Zhao Huang inadvertently entered into the discipline and discipline set by the praise officials of the past dynasties, but the price is likely to be that Zhao Xiao's own soul is scattered on the altar, and together with the predecessors of the past dynasties, he uses his soul to maintain the discipline and law.

It's just why did grandfather Zhao Wei suddenly appear at such a juncture? His actions seemed to prevent Zhao Huang from dissolving his soul. What is the meaning of the theory of mending the sky? Many puzzles are difficult to solve for a while.

Before Zhao Xiao could figure it out, the cirrus cloud jade pendant suddenly sensed and flew away on its own, obviously Liang Tao knew that the Dharma was over, and took the initiative to take back the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace.

Zhao Xiao was still reminiscing about the taste of the magic weapon of the immortal family, and as soon as he walked off the mandala, all the soldiers on the periphery fell to their knees.

"You ......" Zhao Xiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that if he really blocked a falling star, the scene would indeed be shocking enough.

"Get up." Zhao Huang motioned for everyone to get up, he didn't like to be bowed down to, and he was as bad as the dead man's tablet.

Although the soldiers got up, their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Zhao Xiao.

"How many days have I been on the altar?" Zhao Xiao asked.

He Dangguan said: "No more, no less, exactly three days." ”

"Gather all the people to the court." Zhao Xiao said as he walked: "What is the emergency military situation these days?" ”

The soldiers who followed behind Zhao Xiao looked at each other, thinking that the most important thing was not that Marquis Zhenming, with a slight wave of your hand, you would throw a fire meteor back?

"Yesterday, General Wei sent an urgent document to inquire about the meteor and continue to increase troops to the front line, and we dare not reply without authorization." Captain Chen stepped forward and said.

Zhao Huang took the paperwork, quickly glanced at it twice, and asked, "Have there been any enemy troops near Pujia Pass in the past few days?" ”

"None of the outposts found the enemy."

Zhao Xiao nodded, and as soon as he returned to the mansion and sat down, Ding Muqiu arrived in a hurry, followed by a group of monks from the pavilion, and came up and said, "Marquis Zhenming, you have made a great contribution this time!" The stars reversed, I think how the barbarians of the Jiuli Kingdom are still arrogant? ”

The disciples of the Mingxia Pavilion who were traveling with him tugged at Ding Muqiu's sleeves, lest the eldest lady's words be inappropriate and anger Zhao Xiao.

At the beginning, everyone was in Pujia Pass, watching a bad star speeding from the southern sky, and almost fell into despair. Even the monks of the various pavilions were still powerless in the face of the stars falling from the sky.

But Zhao Huang was on the altar at that time, chanting mantras and pinching tricks, but he actually fixed the star in mid-air, and then raised his hand and pointed at it, and the star counterattacked back, and after a while, the southern sky was red, and even Pujiaguan felt the earth shake.

Listening to everyone's words and me, Zhao Xiao roughly pieced together his words and deeds on the altar, but he didn't know anything about these experiences, so he could only pretend to be ordinary.

Zhao Xiao is actually a little afraid at the moment, if he really loses his soul on the altar, he doesn't know what will happen in the future.

"Alright, be quiet for now." Zhao Xiao raised his hand slightly, and no one in the hall immediately spoke, thinking that he had achieved great authority by trying to stop the star.

"First, General Wei ordered an increase in troops." Zhao Xiao shook his hand in Chinese: "In the current situation, the Jiuli Kingdom may not retreat immediately, and I am even more worried that they will fight hard and must completely wipe out the arrogance of the enemy army!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall, especially the captains and officers, showed excited looks. Who doesn't know now, the stars are reversed, the Jiuli Kingdom will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the morale of the army may have collapsed long ago, otherwise General Yiwei is cautious, how could he order more troops at this moment?

The war was difficult before, but now it is different, and it is time to take advantage of this to advance and expand the territory. If you continue to stay in Pujia Pass, won't you miss the great opportunity to seek military merits?

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Zhao Xiao said: "In addition, it is also necessary to check whether the plague is still spreading. Who wants to go to this matter? ”

"I'll do that." Xu Zhouzi took the initiative to say: "The disciples of the Descending True Pavilion are all over the place right now, I'll contact them." ”

"Then it's hard work to be the first seat of the boat." Zhao Huang got up and saluted, this matter was cumbersome and time-consuming, and it was not as dazzling as the military achievements, he immediately added: "The success of this practice to collect the plague is not done by me Zhao Huang alone, thanks to the great help of the whole people in the Zhenzhen Pavilion!" I will write this in the merit book. ”

Xu Zhouzi didn't understand anything, nodded with relief and said, "Okay, as for the front-line battle, please ask Zhenming Hou to bother more." ”

"Don't dare."

Sitting down again, facing everyone's excited eyes, Zhao Xiao immediately ordered three more battalions of soldiers and horses to rush to the front line, and let Ding Muqiu lead a number of pavilion monks to rush to help together.

"Marquis Zhenming, aren't you going to go together?" Ding Muqiu asked with a smile.

"I was ordered to guard Pujia Pass, so naturally I shouldn't leave my post without permission." Zhao Huang didn't know how to let General Wei's order be to let the people in the rear take credit, but with what he did, there is really no need to compete with others for merit now, so let it go.

Standing on the city tower, Zhao Huang watched the army go away, looking at the red light in the distance that was more gorgeous than the sunset, and couldn't help sighing, how did he do such a thing as rebelling against the stars?

"Why did Zhao Changshi sigh?" Lieutenant Zhang asked cautiously on the side, and now he looked at this monk, and his heart was already very admired.

"Nothing." Zhao Xiao is a little helpless, now almost no one can solve his doubts, private and close as a spirit flute, and he can't empathize with him to experience the merits of the Dharma.

"I didn't let you go to the front line to fight for military merits, you won't blame me, right?" Now the soldiers from Qiaozhang Village have basically become Zhao Xiao's personal soldiers, but they also stay in Pujia Pass.

Zhang Liwei said: "Zhao Changshi said with a smile, we have benefited a lot from being able to serve you." ”

Although these pro-soldiers were all from Qiaozhang Village, Zhao Huang would occasionally give them some rough qi refining kung fu, and He Dangguan taught them swordsmanship in his spare time. What's more, it is indeed an honor to follow Zhao Xiao.

"The war should be over soon." Zhao Xiao looked at the southern sky and asked casually, "What are your plans after that?" Do you still want to follow Chiyundu? ”

Zhang Liwei said with a smile: "If Zhao Changshi wants to join Chiyundu, I can recommend it on my behalf." ”

When Zhao Xiao heard this, he just smiled and shook his head.

……

"Lost, lost......"

The Jiuli battalion, which was shrouded in an atmosphere of despair, was demoralized at the moment, and there was a sense of depression in the army from top to bottom. Occasionally, there were a few whipped and angry sounds, and it was the general who was whipping the deserters.

"Lord Wu Zhen." A soldier hurriedly entered the account: "Jinxitong abandoned the village and fled at night!" ”

When Wu Zhen heard this, he was first shocked, and then raised his forehead and sighed: "I know...... Stand down, all of you. ”

The rest of the tent left one after another, and some people gestured to each other with their eyes, clearly thinking of fleeing the camp.

Just as Wu Zhen was alone and meditating, several figures walked into the tent, he was extremely depressed, and was about to speak, but saw a tall and thin man at the head. The other party was dressed in a robe, and the right side of his body seemed to be slightly fat, but he couldn't see it really, only a piece of strange flesh and blood clinging to his neck, faintly pulsating.

"Wu Luo? And you ......" Wu Zhen hurriedly asked, "What is the condition of the Nine Gods?" ”

The tall and thin man who was called Wu Luo said: "The King of the Red Plague has fallen, and the Chi Ze has been completely destroyed, and the flesh and blood of Wu Li, Wu Xie, and Wu Yi are gone. ”

Wu Zhen took half a step back, he saw Wu Luo's body trembling inexplicably under his robe, and the rest of the ten witches were also secretive, he wondered: "What happened to you?" Is it also injured? ”

Wu Luo said: "The power of the star falling to the ground is amazing, not only the pond Ze, but also the nearby Baidan Mountain and the Falling Hoof Forest, all of which have been turned into scorched earth. The Rock Swallower has fallen into a deep sleep, and the Foot King has been battered, and he must cling to his flesh to keep him alive. ”

With that, Wu Luo stretched out his right hand, and now it was no longer a living arm, but a wriggling mass of ugly flesh and blood, and a huge eye turned to look at it, which made people shudder.

"King Kuizu, even ......" Wu Zhen was shocked, and then asked, "Why do you still come here in this situation?" ”

"Have you forgotten the great cause of the Ten Witches?" Wu Luo said, "The time is coming for the god of the candle to descend into heaven. ”

Wu Zhen raised his hand and motioned to the outside of the tent: "Look at it, can you continue to attack like this now?" Now people are fleeing the camp every day, and the whole tribe is leaving! ”

"No need for these mortal soldiers." Wu Luo said: "Just the seven of us, go directly to the Horn Cave." ”

Wu Zhen's face was stunned, and then he retorted: "Without the cover of the army, just a few of us went straight to the corner cave alone?" Are you crazy? ”

"Wu Zhen, you are also panicking, after so many years of accumulation, it shouldn't be like this." Wu Luo said: "The night owl god has found out, and now that the army in the Pujia Pass has been transferred, and almost all the monks have been sent to the front line, the garrison around the Horn Cave can be regarded as the weakest time at this moment. ”

Wu Zhen was first overjoyed, and then shook his head: "No, what about Zhao Xiao?" And what about that Liang Guoshi? The seven of us alone may not be their opponents! ”

Wu Luo stretched out his right arm that squirmed in flesh and blood: "Liang Tao is not invincible in the world, and Zhao Xiao is just relying on scientific rituals, and the depth of his person has been seen through by King Kuizu." Yu Ze, the salute official of the Tianxia Dynasty, was exhausted by Zhao Xiao in one fell swoop. ”

"Are you sure?!" When Wu Zhen heard the news, his heart was full of blood.

Wu Luo Chengzhu in his chest: "The god on the candle has made all kinds of arrangements, and we must do everything we can to achieve the supreme cause!" ”
