"Speaking of the Great Serpent Candle, I happen to have something to ask you." Liang Tao played with the cup: "Why did the red-faced swordsman of the Red Cloud Chaos Party come to save you?" ”

Zhao Xiao's eyebrows narrowed slightly, he thought that he couldn't avoid Liang Tao's suspicion after all, so he said: "Not only does the national teacher want to ask, but I also want to ask." Unfortunately, I was so injured and unconscious that I couldn't ask the swordsman about it. ”

Liang Tao's eyes were deep and unpredictable, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Xiao's inside and out: "This seems a little vain and untrue." ”

"What? Do you think I'm colluding with the rebels? "Zhao Huang has been in contact with Chiyundu in Pujia Pass, and he has been cautious, just to guard against Jing Shi's surveillance.

If Liang Tao knew exactly what Zhao Xiao was doing, he wouldn't have to be so tempted. Although Liang Tao occasionally appears in front of Zhao Huang without warning, it does not mean that he can always grasp Zhao Xiao's situation.

It's just that the faceless swordsman appeared to save himself, which really aroused people's suspicions. But Zhao Xiao couldn't explain that the swordsman was probably sent by the teacher. But in the eyes of the world, this swordsman is a member of the Red Cloud Capital.

"The swordsman is clearly trying to save you." Liang Tao said bluntly: "After he killed the big snake, I fought with him a few times, and he actually grabbed you and didn't let go, if I hadn't taken you back with the Great Ming Treasure Mirror Movement Method, you would probably have been taken to Cangwu Mountain." ”

Zhao Xiao's face was contemplative, he got up and paced, and Liang Tao said again: "I don't understand, you set up a prayer ritual in Xingluo County, so that the edge of the divine sword was restrained, and contributed to the defeat of the chaotic party, this swordsman will not let you go no matter what." Moreover, the big snake and the dark candle suddenly invaded Pujia Pass, how could this person appear by chance? ”

Liang Tao's words really inspired Zhao Xiao. It is not surprising that the teacher Zhang Duanjing appeared at Pujia Pass to block Wu Zhen, but the swordsman with a face is too bizarre.

If this person is arranged by Zhang Duanjing, it is also extremely unusual. With Zhao Xiao's understanding of the teacher, this kind of killer weapon against Liang Tao should not be exposed at this time, which is destined to make Zhao Huang questioned.

Just like Mr. Jingming, who is the third elder of Chiyun, he dissuaded Mr. Huaiming from going down the mountain to Pujia Pass, obviously to prevent Zhao Huang from being suspected of having dealings with Chiyun.

And in hindsight, the appearance of the big snake candle in Pujia Pass should be an accident. The original idea of the Ten Witches of Feng Fu was still to summon the evil gods in the Horned Cave.

It can be said that it was Zhao Huang's move to open the altar and practice the law, penetrating the leylines of the square circle, indirectly causing the big snake to leave the Jiaoyu Cave, and letting the Feng Fu Ten Witches set a trap to drag Liang Tao down, so that the evil god could avoid the head-on blow and enjoy blood and food elsewhere, grow and grow.

If the appearance of the Great Snake Candle in Pujia Pass was an accident, then how should the attack of the Mask Swordsman be explained? Could it be that Zhang Duanjing could still have predicted the arrival of the evil god? But if the teacher could really foresee this, he wouldn't have fought with Wu Zhen to go out of the city.

Zhao Wei respects his teachers, but it doesn't mean that he will blindly trust them. Zhang Duanjing is not infallible, and he also confessed that he was one step late when he was at Pujia Pass.

From this point of view, could it be that the swordsman did not completely obey the teacher's orders?

But this made Zhao Huang fall into even greater confusion, if the faceless swordsman was not arranged by his teacher Zhang Duanjing, then why did he rescue Zhao Xiao?

"Yes, why did this swordsman save me?" Zhao Xiao whispered secretly in his heart: "He relies on the divine sword, which is enough to make the immortals jealous, and my rituals can restrain the divine sword, even if I don't save it, it is okay to sit back and watch me die in the belly of the big snake." I am not related to him, why should I save him? ”

"Want to know how to answer?" Liang Tao spoke.

Zhao Xiao shook his head slowly: "I don't know the real reason, but it may be related to the rituals." Maybe they kidnapped me so that they could ask for prayer rituals, so that the Excalibur would no longer be suppressed. ”

"That's what you think?" Liang Tao asked.

"Or else?" Zhao Xiao said: "The dignified Huaxu National Teacher, the first of the Chongxuan Pavilion, and one of the pinnacles of contemporary Kunlun, can sit and talk with me freely, is it because of how clever I am?" Isn't it for the sake of ritual work? ”

Liang Tao couldn't help laughing and said: "Now I'm afraid it's not just me, half of the masters of Kunlun Continent are eyeing you." ”

"Is this a threat?" Zhao Xiao's face was fearless, and he looked bored: "Master Guoshi, do I still have a way out now?" Even if you don't say it, I must put all my heart and soul into the kingdom of the Dao of the earth. This is the only way to save your life. ”

Zhao Huang knows Liang Tao's temperament, and direct dedication cannot gain trust, but it is a provocative rebuttal in order to show his "true colors".

"Since you say so, when are you going to set up the mandala?" Liang Tao asked without hesitation.

"I'm ready to go." Zhao Xiao said again: "But you should understand my situation at the moment, right? On the surface, he is idle and clean, but in fact, he is suspicious of the country. In this case, if I openly practice the Dharma and cause changes in the qi of heaven and earth, I will definitely not be pleased with the lord of the country. I don't want to be noticed about you and me so early, and the revelation of the situation will definitely cause a lot of obstacles, so I still have to cover it up a little. ”

Liang Tao patted his thigh and smiled: "This is said as if you are really an adulterer and an adulteress!" ”

Zhao Xiao's face was full of disgust: "Chongxuan Pavilion obviously talks the most about the demeanor of the immortal family and the prestige of Xuan Xiu, how did you come here, it is full of slang in the market?" ”

"Weiyi is a person who cultivates the truth through falsehood, and does not understand the mysterious, thinking that this is a pretentious gesture." Liang Tao said bluntly: "Since you have cultivated the "Nine Heavens Purple Wen Dan Chapter", then I will also point out two sentences - the immortal family prestige deters ghosts and gods externally, and restricts the body and mind internally. ”

Zhao Xiao's expression was straight: "Isn't this the fasting kung fu before going to the altar to practice the Fa?" ”

"The metaphysics is similar, but the foundation is different." Liang Tao said: "Beginners of the Tao, their form and spirit are scattered, and their souls are not controlled, so they cannot be forced to go straight into the realm of tranquility, but should go slowly.

Chongxuanguan pays attention to demeanor and majesty, that is, it requires disciples to start from the details of behavior, sitting and lying, and talking about things. If the prestige is not right, the words and deeds are not cultivated, and even these external superficialities cannot be changed, how can we believe that the person can regulate the spiritual energy? ”

Zhao Xiao couldn't help but nod his head and secretly praised, just like the Huaiying Pavilion, the students who have just entered the hall are not learning to meditate and vomit, but to study the number of techniques first. This can not only test a person's qualifications and understanding, but also test whether he can concentrate on it. If you don't want to study hard, you won't have to teach advanced techniques.

"That's a nice word, but in my opinion, most of you in the Chongxuan Pavilion are only flowery, and they can't be used." Zhao Xiao said coldly, with a bit of contempt in his tone.

Liang Tao acted as usual: "From the very beginning, this kind of teaching was used to select people who could be edified. It's like putting the hardware and eight stones, heaven and earth and all kinds of herbs into the furnace in order to refine the divine pill. ”

"What about the ash residue that didn't become a god pill?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"You're showing compassion again." Liang Tao leaned forward slightly, and his tone was deep: "There are some things that you should understand." The vast majority of people in this world are not even qualified to enter the furnace for refining, they are just dung, living and dying for thousands of years, just like beasts. ”

Zhao Xiao pouted, he still couldn't agree with Liang Tao's words after all.

"I know what you're thinking." Liang Tao's words were full of temptation: "If you want to benefit the world and benefit all sentient beings, you can, as long as you create a kingdom of Taoism on earth, I can make you a teacher who selects the people and educates the foolish." ”

"Just wait for me to cultivate, and return to the master?" Zhao Xiao smiled faintly.

Liang Tao said: "Have you forgotten your ability when you opened the altar and practiced the Fa? In the future, when you become the master of the Dao Kingdom, the Southern Earth Demon God is just a worm that can be crushed to death at will. ”

Zhao Xiao showed a somewhat impatient look, but tried his best to suppress it, Liang Tao saw it in his eyes and was quite satisfied.

"You don't have to worry about the reason for arranging the rituals." Liang Tao looked down on the world: "The treatment of the plague and the reversal of the stars make it clear to the heads of each hall that the work of science and ritual is enough to change the general trend." They will do their best to facilitate the spread of mandalas throughout the country of China in order to prepare for the future, and you are the one who must be indispensable. ”

Zhao Xiao nodded silently, Liang Tao's layout can be described as clever. After experiencing the war between Xingluo County and Pujia Pass, Zhao Xiao's scientific and ceremonial achievements have been recognized as the first person in Huaxu.

Although Zhao Huang knows that the ritual is not omnipotent, there are still many occasions to play. In addition, now that the five countries of Kunlun are standing side by side, future wars are inevitable, if you can use scientific rituals and rituals to let the whole country of Huaxu be sheltered, why not?

No matter what the current Huaxu lord thinks, but the head of each pavilion often has to personally face the enemy country masters, if there are scientific rituals and rituals to cover and bless and help, the strength of the enemy's fighting method has greatly increased, and their worries have been greatly reduced, so they will definitely make suggestions to the lord of the country to spread the mandala in all parts of the Huaxu country.

In this way, Liang Tao didn't even have to come forward himself, and Zhao Xiao didn't have to suffer suspicion, so he could justifiably arrange scientific rituals and rituals in various parts of Huaxu Kingdom.

"Enjoy the last quiet days." Liang Tao got up and said: "Once this matter starts, you and I can't be idle until the success or failure is clear." ”

After Liang Tao left, Zhao Xiao was still sitting in the Wangbo Pavilion, looking at the surging river in the distance, and his fingertips couldn't help knocking on the table.

"It turns out that this is the real intention of the first seat." Jiang Ru's face turned pale, and she sat in place, holding the silk handkerchief in both hands, nervous.

"Is this the first time you've heard about the Dao Kingdom in the world today?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Jiang Ru nodded with difficulty, and Zhao Xiao sighed when he saw this: "It seems that you are not too favored." ”

"You...... When did you start teaming up with Shouza? Jiang Ru asked.

Zhao Xiao said calmly: "It's not as far away as you think, it only started when you were arranged by him to approach me." And it wasn't until Pujia Pass that things progressed. ”

Jiang Ru's heart was agitated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time: "I originally thought that the first one was at most going to abolish the act of establishing the country, but the world is a Taoist country...... This is no longer a change of dynasty, the first one is to co-rule the heavens, not just to ascend to immortals. ”

Zhao Xiao looked at Jiang Ru and said, "I thought that you should know more about the National Teacher than I do. How can he fulfill his wish by soaring into an immortal? ”

Jiang Ru looked suspicious: "It's just ...... Ascend to immortality? Is this a trivial matter? ”

Zhao Xiao laughed at himself: "After getting along with the masters for a long time, my vision has become higher unconsciously, but I am vain and ungrounded." ”

Jiang Ru hurriedly shook her head: "No, I'm not blaming you." There are many people in the Chongxuan Pavilion who are less grounded than you. ”

"Like Liang Shuo?" Zhao Xiao said suddenly.

Jiang Ru's face darkened: "Can you not mention this person?" ”

Zhao Xiao knew that he was speechless, so he quickly shut up. And Jiang Ru was upset for a while, so she put away the tea utensils and utensils indiscriminately, and said casually: "I want to be alone and quiet." ”

Zhao Huang wanted to say something to stay, but he still didn't move, looking at Jiang Ru and leaving in a hurry.

"Why didn't Marquis Zhenming stay?"

Lu Wangji turned out from the side and came to the pavilion.

"Everyone has his own knot, and I can't interfere." Zhao Huang was helpless, Jiang Ru served Liang Shuo in the past, concluded an immortal contract with him, and regarded him as his backer to achieve immortal paths, and he used a lot of thoughts in the past.

After Liang Shuo's death, Liang Tao arranged Jiang Ru to Zhao Xiao's side, but at this time her mood was different from the past.

When she was by Zhao Xiao's side, Jiang Ru didn't have to pretend her nature and serve people with sex. Even though Zhao Xiao knew Jiang Ru's affection, he still chose to refrain from it, which made Jiang Ru feel more comfortable than ever.

However, when Jiang Ru knew Liang Tao's plan for the Dao Kingdom of the World, his heart was probably greatly shaken.

Even if Jiang Ru didn't say it, Zhao Xiao vaguely felt that now she should hope to achieve something with her own efforts. is no longer like before, looking forward to following Liang Tao to ascend to the cave sky.

Liang Tao's human Dao country, for Jiang Ru, may be a cage that is difficult to break free, and once again dragged himself back, and his heart was shocked and frightened, which was not strong.

As long as you have a little taste of freedom, it will be difficult to endure the shackles and cages. Jiang Ru is in the same Shixi blessed land with Zhao Huang these days, she doesn't have to pay attention to other trivial things, she doesn't have to care about the eyes of others, it is rare to show her truest side, so she can ask Zhao Huang for magic weapons according to her temperament.

"Marquis Zhenming, Jiang Ru has a love for you, why do you turn a blind eye?" Heron asked.

Zhao replied, "I have already declined, and she knows what I am." There is not only love and entanglement between men and women, sometimes too close, but it is easy to create estrangement. And I don't have much choice with her, Jiang Ru can't easily give up Chongxuan Pavilion and the clansmen, as for me...... It's just dancing in the hands of others. ”

"If the Marquis of Zhenming has any difficulties, I will try my best to help." Heron forgot to speak.

Zhao Xiao shook his head with a serious expression: "If you regard me as a bosom friend, remember one thing, if I encounter a life-and-death situation again, how far a person can run, don't save me." ”

"I can't agree to this." Lu Wangji's tone is also generally serious.

"Don't you understand? My life and death are tied to the hands of Liang Guoshi, not that I can die if I want to, nor can I save if you want to. If you are too deeply involved, I will be distracted and worried about the safety of Taoist friends, which will not benefit you or me. Zhao Xiao suddenly laughed inexplicably: "And I don't have so much piano-making wood to repay Daoyou." ”
