Chapter 191: Alone
"Some of the words of the secular people still make sense." Liang Tao leaned on a few points, sighed and said: "Shengmien, Doumiqiu, I think I let you elders enjoy all the glory and wealth." Even if the Hatoe Zheng clan was defeated, I didn't let them suffer too much grievance. I sent Zheng Yulou to the blessed land of Dongyuan to recuperate, and the younger generations who have cultivated are still working hard in the museum, and the other ordinary children are assigned to various places, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, You should know this. ”
Chu Fenggui was unforgiving: "You are clearly dividing and encroaching on the Zheng clan of Jiujiang, do you really think that others can't understand it?!" Zheng Yulou was put under house arrest by you, and the other Zheng children had no support, so they would be driven by you as slaves. Are you planning to do the same to our Chu clan next? ”
Liang Tao didn't answer directly, but said: "The current situation is not as usual, and it's time to change some of the rules in the Chongxuan Pavilion." I plan to arrange a group of disciples to go to various places to renovate the shrines and altars, and not to fall behind at this critical juncture. ”
Chu Fenggui's face changed when he heard this: "You actually agree with that little country lord?" What about the re-establishment of the rituals? Just give it to people? ”
"Only in terms of scientific rituals and legal affairs, Zhao Xiao is a well-deserved first person in Huaxu Kingdom, and the facts are in front of him and irrefutable." Liang Tao said: "And he is the successor of the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Official, it is related to whether Huaxu Kingdom is orthodox or not, and this matter can only be done by him." ”
Chu Fenggui was silent for a moment, and then his face was very gloomy: "What is the relationship between Zhao Xiao and you?" Have you not yet recognized your ancestors and returned to your father's father? ”
When Liang Tao heard this, he almost squirted tea in his mouth, and waved his hand with a smile: "No! Do you think everyone is like you? There are too many concubines in the family to count. ”
"Then why are you sheltering Zhao Xiao everywhere?" Chu Fenggui asked: "I gathered hundreds of officials to impeach Zhao Huang, but you didn't respond at all, the lord of the small country has no fear, so he dared to issue an order for Zhao Huang to preside over the revision of the law and etiquette." And don't think I don't know, you sent the fox spirit of the Jiang family to Zhao Xiao, which is obviously treating him as a disciple! ”
Liang Tao thought for a moment, and then said, "Is your statement a little narrow-minded? You also know Zhao Xiao's ability, do you have to force this kind of person to become an enemy? I do have the intention to woo and cultivate Zhao Xiao, so that his every move is under my control.
And I acquiesced in the decree of the lord of the country, and I also planned to send my children to set up mandalas and control witchcraft, also in order to firmly grasp these important tasks. But not only do you fail to see the point, but you also rally to disobey. This is not only a violation of the will of the state, but also a demonstration against me, right? ”
Chu Bong-gyu admitted: "Not bad! You cultivated Zhao Xiao, but you used our Chu clan to use the knife. In order to let Zhao Huang Liwei, it ruined our decades of operation in Qingyan County! If it weren't for your encouragement, just a rat like Zhao Xiao, would dare to act so recklessly?! ”
"At the beginning of the attack of the Jiuli Kingdom, I told you that you must restrain the people below and don't let them do things perfunctorily." Liang Tao cupped his cheeks and said: "As a result, Zhao Xiao caught the handle and made things bigger, who can blame him?" ”
"I don't have the heart to tell you this!" Chu Bong-gyu raised his sleeves.
"Then get down to business." Liang Tao flicked his fingers, and a map of Huaxu was unfolded on the side of the wall, which included mountains, rivers, rivers, and roads, which can be described as extremely detailed.
Chu Fenggui saw that this picture was not extraordinary, and it was vaguely visible that a series of vivid veins spread among them, like a talisman and a spiritual text, mysterious and indescribable. And at the joints of those "veins", there are many well-known blessed places for cultivating the truth and caves.
"I have mastered most of the qi acupoints that are used as a qi seeking machine to generate in the mandala in recent years." Liang Tao said: "The imperial court plans to set up mandalas in various parts of the country, and I am afraid that the Chongxuan Pavilion will dedicate these places. You and I are not willing to give up these foundations, the best thing is to cooperate with Zhao Huang and arrange the mandala ritual properly. ”
After Liang Tao said this, Chu Fenggui looked at him in disbelief: "Liang Tao, what are you talking about?" You're going to be submissive? Are you still Liang Tao? Yang Jingxi wants to set up a wide mandala and revise the rituals, but he is clearly coming for us, if you don't try your best to obstruct it, you still give in? ”
"Soft? What do you think? Liang Tao had a little pity in his eyes: "Should you say that you are in the mountains and it is difficult to see the whole picture?" Or did you break your brain? If you don't take the opportunity to grasp this kind of big thing, do you still have to let the other party do it? ”
Chu Fenggui's face gradually turned cold: "I understand, this is your purpose, to secretly control the country's legal affairs, and then pocket the entire Huaxu Kingdom." ”
Liang Tao smiled faintly: "If you look at it like this, it's pretty much the same." If this happens, why not take a half step back today? Many mandalas need to be taken care of by the people of Chongxuan Pavilion, I hope you will gather all the children of the Chu family, not only Chu Mengchun, but also those who have official positions, and they will also temporarily put aside their official duties and arrange them to support the mandalas in various places. ”
"Are you crazy?!" Chu Fenggui immediately refused: "This matter must not be done!" ”
Liang Tao put away his smile: "You are not a child anymore, don't you understand the stakes?" ”
"I see! I just understood it, so I couldn't say yes! Chu Fenggui flicked his sleeves and refuted: "Only you can take advantage of this, and others will be your slaves for generations!" ”
"Don't talk so much." Liang Tao slowly sat up straight: "If this matter is successful, in the future, the Chu clan will be promoted to the house and enjoy eternal life, and you Chu Fenggui can be ranked as an immortal and the main blessed land, so as to ensure that your future generations will be blessed from generation to generation, how about it?" ”
Chu Fenggui laughed and said, "Liang Tao, you are really crazy. Am I one of those ignorant villagers? Who else can be deceived by these nonsense except those unassertive vixens? Pulling out the house and soaring, what the Qingya Patriarch can't do, how can you and I do it? ”
Liang Tao looked serious: "Qingya Patriarch may not be able to compare with me. ”
Chu Fenggui was stunned at first when he heard this, and then as if he had figured out something, he turned around and left: "You are hopeless...... We will not accompany you! ”
"Shall I allow you to go?" Liang Tao said coldly.
Chu Fenggui was stunned: "What?" You're going to kill me? ”
Liang Tao said: "My patience is limited, turn back in time, as long as things are done according to my intentions, I will not pursue your offense today." ”
Chu Fenggui raised his head and laughed: "Liang Tao, don't be too arrogant!" I have the Purple Cloud Tianluo given by the Qingya Patriarch, if you dare to do it to me, the Patriarch will immediately be able to lower the immortal power and severely punish you! Don't you claim to be even smarter than the Qingya Patriarch? Just give it a try! ”
Liang Tao squinted his eyes and was silent, Chu Fenggui walked with his sleeves brushed up, and said loudly: "Your arrogant temperament, just intimidate outsiders, isn't it ridiculous to show off in front of me?" Our ancestors of the Chu clan are the eldest disciples of the Qingya Patriarch, if you talk about the inheritance background, it is not necessarily worse than your Yongjia Liang clan! ”
After saying this, Chu Fenggui was about to raise his hand to swing open the door of the bamboo hall, but he heard a soft knock from behind, and Chu Fenggui immediately couldn't move.
"I also watched you grow up, and I still have half of the old friendship in my heart." Liang Tao seemed to be recalling the past: "Before Chu Jieyu died, he begged me to take care of your younger brother. In fact, you were not a child back then, and you didn't need me to take care of you much, but I still tried my best to let you rise to a high position and hold great power in Huaxu Kingdom, and I thought that I had lived up to the request of my friends. ”
Chu Fenggui felt that he was forbidden by the overwhelming force, not only could he not speak and move, but even the true qi in his body could not stagnate, so he could only listen to Liang Tao's words gradually come out:
"Sometimes I wonder if I'm overindulgent with you. You are so incompetent, you still have the face to talk about the Qingya Patriarch? The ancestors passed on the Fa to let you cultivate immortals and enlighten the Tao, not to decorate your identity. I dare to compare myself to the Qingya Patriarch, not arrogant, but indeed enlightened. ”
Chu Fenggui was very shocked, his true qi mana was completely inoperable at the moment, and he could only pray in his heart that the ancestor would quickly descend to punish him, so that this rebellious man would be shattered!
"You see, when it comes to life and death, a person's heart can be tested." Liang Tao got up and came to Chu Fenggui, raised his hand to take a false shot, and a cloud of purple qi floated out through his robe and fell into his hands.
Chu Fenggui was shocked when he saw this, obviously he was given a talisman magic weapon, how could he be taken away by Liang Tao so easily?
"More than seventy years ago, the person who gave you Ziyun Tianluo was not the Qingya Patriarch." Liang Tao raised his eyes and said lightly: "It's me." ”
Chu Fenggui almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and he tried his best to persuade himself that Liang Tao was terminally ill, and every word he said could not be trusted!
"At the end of Tianxia, when the emperor set himself on fire in Tongtiantai, the Qingya Wonderland was invaded by the evil gods outside the sky, the ancestor was defeated by the evil gods, the true spirits were lost, the immortals were destroyed, and most of the caves collapsed." Liang Tao said very calmly: "If it weren't for my luck back then, when Xuanzhu ascended into the mud pill, the sympathetic dharma lineage, and acted as the chief control of the cave heaven at the moment of great calamity, where would there be any Chongxuan Pavilion today?" How did you get to where you are today? I'm afraid that I will die in the war early. ”
Liang Tao looked down at the purple cloud Tianluo in his hand like a cloud of smoke, and with a flick of his five fingers, he could see the cave heaven palace that had changed faintly inside.
"When I first took charge of the cave, in the face of the chaotic situation, I persuaded the other three families to move the Chongxuan Pavilion away from the imperial capital, and killed and repelled many roadblocks and murderous demons along the way, so that the Chongxuan Pavilion could settle in the Lung Mountain." Liang Tao shook his head helplessly:
"But even so, Kunlun Dongtu is not necessarily too peaceful, in order to protect the Chongxuan Pavilion and stabilize the hearts of everyone, I have no choice but to pretend to be the Qingya Immortal Ancestor, and pass down the magic weapon of the Immortal Urn several times, and you are one of them.
To be honest, I really didn't expect you people to have a high level of cultivation power before, and I was even wary of you. If you find out one day, I won't end well.
It is this kind of walking on thin ice and trembling that has made me continue to improve my cultivation, and for decades, you have been left far behind. When I look back, I find that you are all intoxicated with gentleness and wealth, but I am much more relieved. ”
Liang Tao put away Ziyun Tianluo, and suddenly sighed and said, "But now that I think about it, this kind of deliberate indulgence also has disadvantages. What I want to do, I can't find a person in the Chongxuan Pavilion who can understand it thoroughly. You would rather hold on to the worldly riches than take a step forward, and you are short-sighted. Zhao Xiao is right, there are a bunch of showmanship, which is useless, and there is no sincerity. ”
Liang Tao pondered for a long time, then raised his hand and patted Chu Fenggui on the shoulder: "I originally wanted to spare your life, but thinking of an incompetent person like you, you will definitely be smart, so it's better to stop here." ”
After speaking, Liang Tao raised his hand and pointed at his sword, and a cloud seal hung his fingertips, directly imprinting between Chu Fenggui's eyebrows.
Chu Fenggui's body was shocked, his eyes were gone, and his vitality was cut off in an instant, if he hadn't been restrained by qi confinement, he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground on the spot.
Liang Tao's lips opened and closed, and the mantra was silently recited, and one after another cloud seals flew into Chu Fenggui's lifeless body along the sword fingers, re-hooking the soul that was about to disappear, and condensing his mind in the Mud Pill Palace.
After a while, Chu Bong-gyu's eyes shone again, and he stood firmly in place.
Looking at his blank face, Liang Tao said to himself: "Although it is not a long-term solution, it is enough to deal with the current situation." ”
……
Zhao Xiao looked at the large boxes of books in front of him, flipped through the pages for a long time and pulled out a volume of "Baichen Gongji Theory", found a few pages of it familiarly, read it back and forth, and then muttered: "This position is not quite right......
"What location?" Liang Tao's voice suddenly came from outside the house.
Zhao Xiao hurriedly glanced out, then closed the door and added another charm: "Are you crazy?" The first seat of the Descending Hall is still a guest in my house at the moment, if he finds out that you and I are coming, the matter will be over! ”
Seeing him like this, Liang Tao suddenly laughed out loud for some reason, and laughed very heartily.
Zhao Xiao was secretly surprised, he had the impression that even if Liang Tao was unscrupulous, he would not have such a gaffe, and he was testing himself again.
"Don't laugh!" Zhao Xiao gritted his teeth and said: "I know that your cultivation is superb, and Xuzhouzi may not be able to find you, but if there is a slight negligence on my side, all my efforts will be in vain!" ”
Liang Tao arched his body with a smile, barely stopped laughing, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "You, you don't have to be so nervous, I can trust you." ”
The more Zhao Xiao listened, the more strange he became, and he had goosebumps. Liang Tao coughed lightly twice and returned to normal, looked around at a pile of books in the room, picked up one casually, and saw that it told how to collect gas and lighting at different times and in different directions, and what was the difference in function.
"These are the ritual scriptures of the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Officer?" Liang Tao asked.
Zhao Xiao snatched the scroll from Liang Tao's hand: "Don't flip around!" I'm in the process of reorganizing the ...... It's less than a tenth of it, and it's the backbone of the rituals. To revise the laws and rituals, we must first lay a foundation. ”
Liang Tao didn't care: "Have you read all these books?" ”
"When I was a kid, I was literate with these books." Zhao Xiao replied: "And many of the books in the collection were copied by me by hand, and they were all about to rot out." ”
Liang Tao sighed: "What kind of life did you live when you were a child? Can you endure loneliness and gnaw on this pile of tomes? ”
Zhao Xiao smelled the ink fragrance of the scroll, and sighed with emotion: "Simple, my grandfather holds a magic ruler, and he has to recite the contents of the book before going to bed every day. ”
