Zhao Xiao stepped out of the carriage and saw an undulating mountain forest from a distance, the frost and snow in winter covered it with a white veil, and the cold wind blew the clouds in the sky like a tide.

"After a few years, I finally came to the Baizhi Cave Mansion again." Zhao Xiao opened his mouth and spit lightly, and the white mist and heat did not drift away, but turned into a flying bird, flying towards the distant mountains and forests.

In the past, Zhao Xiao had to use the paper crane to send the spell mana to peek into the distance, but now the Xuanzhu enters the mud pill, refining the life spirit text, and the use of the spell is at a higher level.

When you personally confirm these realms, you can understand that the rumors of the Immortal Family Cave Heaven are made by condensing clouds and qi, and they are not fabricated out of thin air.

Gasification of all things is one of the foundations of Xuanmen's theory, and the immortal Dao is high enough to condense gasification. It's just that the vast qi is not enough to become a thing, and if you want to open up the cave sky, you need to go all over the heaven and earth to create things.

At present, Zhao Xiao is just blowing the talisman bird, and he can't be compared with the living creatures, so it can be seen how wonderful and extraordinary the immortal realm of opening up the cave and cultivating the true saints is.

"This is the White-Fronted Gongdong Mansion?" Jiang Ru stepped on the snow and came up, raising her eyes in anticipation.

"In the mountains." Zhao Xiao pointed to a mountainside with dry branches and leaves in winter: "When the cave was born, the spirit soared to the sky, and everyone in the Huaiying Pavilion came to explore. Before we could figure out what was going on, you people from the Chongxuan Pavilion came to seize the cave and the immortal treasures. ”

Jiang Ru was a little ashamed, although she was born in Chongxuan Pavilion, and now she also felt that some of Liang Tao's methods and methods were too domineering.

And Zhao Xiao has a little calmness after going through the turmoil, if there is no Liang Tao to intervene sideways, Zhao Huang really doesn't have to work hard to get back the true yuan lock. But thinking about it the other way, without the tempering of the past, can he have the current cultivation realm?

As Ling Xiao said, hoping to start all over again is the biggest delusion. In order to get back the true yuan lock, this experience also happened to achieve Zhao Xiao. No matter how hard and tired you are, it is meaningless to others, and in the end, you only have your own aftertaste.

"You set up camp here, and I'll go to the cave first." Zhao Xiao followed the rest of the group to give a few words, and then flew to the Bai'e Gongdong Mansion, where Jiang Ru and Lu Wangji walked with him.

Before he landed, Zhao Xiao saw two monks outside the gate of the cave through Fu Bird, and they were still holding the unique four-rule mirror of the Chongxuan Pavilion in their hands.

"Chongxuan Pavilion Wang Zhaolian and Wang Zhaocheng, meet the Marquis of Zhenming." The two monks bowed in prostration, and there was a hint of fear in their tones.

Zhao Xiao lifted the two of them with his sleeves in the air, and he could see at a glance that the other party's cultivation was superficial, and he should be much older than himself.

"The two of you are from the Chiyang Wang family?" Zhao Xiao fell slowly, the green shirt swayed, and the two women, one on the left and one on the right, were also fluttering, as if an immortal had descended to the earth.

"No, it's not. The two of us brothers are distant relatives of the side branch, and we were lucky enough to be taught the immortal law. ”

Zhao Xiao found that these two people were cowardly in their words and deeds, and they didn't seem to have been cultivated by much of the demeanor of the nobles, so he asked again: "Are you the only one stationed in the cave here?" Chongxuanguan didn't send anyone else? ”

The Wang brothers glanced at each other, and the elder brother Wang Zhaolian replied, "This cave is remote and lonely, and everyone else will stay for a short time when they come. ”

"Isn't remoteness and loneliness more suitable for Qing cultivation?" Zhao Xiao was puzzled.

The Wang brothers didn't know how to answer, and Zhao Xiao didn't ask much, so he walked into the cave door and walked through a narrow road, and in front of him was a hollow mountain, about four or five zhang square, with bamboo and wood frames around it as support.

A mausoleum was built outside the Bai'e Gong Cave Mansion to gather yin qi and prevent the spiritual light of the cave from being observed. It wasn't until many years after the dissolution of the white-fronted public that the effectiveness of the mausoleum was weakened, which allowed the cave to appear.

The outer chamber had long since been cleared, and there was nothing else, except for three openings leading to the rest of the world.

Zhao Xiao still has the impression that a trap is arranged at the right hole, a maze is hidden in the middle hole, and a mechanism is set up at the left hole. If you rush into it and are a little careless, you will either trigger the mechanism and be crushed to death by Wanjun Mountain Rock, or you will be trapped in a maze and your soul will be blown away by the yin wind.

Fortunately, the teacher Zhang Duanjing took the lead in breaking all kinds of maze spells, so there were no casualties.

According to his memory, Zhao Huang twisted and turned through the corridors, and finally came to a quiet cave with a dome hanging high, apparently excavated by manpower.

The spell illuminates the surroundings, and at this time, the walls of this cave are faintly jade, the tentacles are cold, and the clear qi is felt infiltrated inside, and it is gradually transformed into Kunlun jade.

"Marquis Zhenming seems to be quite familiar with this cave?" Seeing that Zhao Xiao didn't need to lead the way, the Wang brothers turned a blind eye to the labyrinthine passage, and came to the deepest part of the cave mansion knowing the roots.

Zhao Huang caressed a stone platform, the true yuan lock was originally placed here, and he made the god send his hand to take it, triggering the prohibition of residual mana, and was directly stunned to the ground, and the spirit flute also took advantage of the situation to live in the depths of his brain palace.

"The Bai's Gongdong Mansion was the first to be discovered by the Huaiying Pavilion, don't you know?" Zhao Xiao asked.

The Wang brothers had no choice but to say, "We...... We are not reused, so we are placed here to be guarded. ”

Zhao Xiao's expression was strange: "Not reused? This cave is clear and condensed, and far away from people, although it is darker, but it is also suitable for concentrating on hard work, which pavilion is a rare blessed place for cultivation, how can it not be reused when you come here to guard? ”

"Maybe it's too quiet." The Wang brothers explained: "There is a lack of living utensils in the mountains, so we have to climb mountains and mountains to fetch water. And there are no people in the vicinity for dozens of miles, and there are no feasts and entertainment. If you had a choice, who would stay in the mountains all day? ”

Zhao Xiao frowned and asked, "Feast and have fun?" Hearing this, it seems that it wasn't the two of you who were originally stationed here? ”

The Wang brothers looked like they wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, but Jiang Ru took the initiative to speak: "Now that the Marquis of Zhenming is ordered by the lord of the country to rectify the large and small spiritual places in the country and set up mandalas, whoever is stationed must make a record. If you just come on behalf of others, even if you say it explicitly, the Marquis of Zhenming will naturally be able to call the shots! ”

Seeing this, the Wang brothers plucked up the courage to reply: "The first person who was ordered to garrison this place was Wang Zhongding, the prince of Wang. ”

"The eldest young master of the Chiyang Wang clan?" Zhao Xiao sneered: "I have heard of this person, he is unlearned, unskilled, tyrannical, and it is said that he has wantonly searched for virgins and taken the Tianqi alchemy, causing many tragedies." The reputation of the Chongxuan Pavilion and the immortal inheritance of the Qingya True Monarch have all been ruined by this kind of goods! ”

The Wang brothers didn't dare to respond, and Jiang Ru didn't like this person either, and said: "I heard that he had a big accident before, and he once raped a clan woman. He came to garrison the cave mansion, it should be the elders in order to keep him out of the limelight. ”

Zhao Xiao's face was ugly: "This kind of scum scum, what are you doing with your life?" ”

"It seems that because his father had made great contributions and died on the battlefield, he should be lenient after saying that he was loyal and good." Jiang Ruyan said.

"Who's his father?" Although Zhao Huang would not really contribute to the Chongxuan Pavilion for thousands of generations, he didn't mind taking advantage of this opportunity to kill a few scum beasts.

"Wang Jiuzhang." Jiang Ru said.

"Is that him?" Zhao Xiao changed color slightly, he remembered a bizarre dream before, when his father Zhao Ziliang went to the Mirage Valley, there were also many pavilion monks accompanying him, and Wang Jiuzhang was one of them.

"Where is Wang Zhongding now?" Zhao Xiao asked.

The Wang brothers were startled and hurriedly bowed: "I don't know!" I really don't know! ”

Jiang Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly on the side: "This Wang Zhongding, I think I can't stand the hardships in the mountains, so I go elsewhere to have fun." The elders of the family then casually found two distant relatives of the side branches to guard the cave mansion on their behalf. ”

Zhao Xiao looked at the Wang brothers: "If there are demons coming to disturb you, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

The Wang brothers were at a loss, and this situation was obviously not in their consideration. Zhao Xiao said: "Do you think that no demon will dare to offend the Chongxuan Pavilion?" But if I covet the pure spirit of the cave, I will directly kill the two of you secretly, and then pretend to be your appearance and stay in the cave for a long time. Anyway, the Wang family didn't care about this place at all, so they just used it. If someone sees through it, you won't feel distressed when you leave. ”

Hearing this, the Wang brothers were all afraid. Zhao Xiao was quite disappointed, the dignified Xuanguan, the highly respected immortal inheritance, why are the children of the later generations like this? He felt sorry for Liang Tao and Qingya Zhenjun.

"Start setting it up right here." Zhao Xiao was too lazy to talk nonsense, and said to the Wang brothers: "You must have heard that now you are going to set up mandalas all over the country, and the location of the Bai'e Gongdong Mansion is critical, and I see that the two of you can keep this quiet, so stay and wait for the dispatch." ”

The Wang brothers, Qi, claimed that they were, and then Zhao Huang sent the two to the gate of the cave, and he had already asked Fu Niao to pass the message on his behalf, and ordered the other monks accompanying him to bring the cloth altar utensils.

"Don't be too demanding." Waiting for the Wang brothers to leave, Jiang Ru said to Zhao Xiao: "After all, not everyone is like you, and they can do things so honestly. ”

Zhao Xiao shook his head with a smile: "I just think that these children of the family are called immortal blood yin, but in fact, most of them are incompetent. And it's really incompetent, they prefer to rely on their family lineage and do a lot of evil. ”

Jiang Ru said: "In fact, not all the children of Chongxuan Pavilion are as bad as Wang Zhongding. ”

Zhao Xiao nodded: "I hope I generalize." ”

Since leaving Dongshengdu, it has been more than half a year, Zhao Xiao has gone all the way north, every time he goes to a county, on the one hand, he surveys the mountains and rivers, mobilizes people to arrange the mandala, and on the other hand, secretly inspects whether there are obscene ghosts and gods, demons and evil spirits, and if he finds it, he will immediately punish him.

It's just that now Zhao Huang can be described as "famous", wherever he goes, the ghosts and gods retreat, the demons and evil are gone, and they will make noise, basically some little demons and monsters in the poor countryside, guarding the one-third of an acre of land in front of them, and they don't know the major events in the outside world.

And since the news of Liang Guoshi's "retreat and cultivation" came out in the Chongxuan Pavilion, there have been all kinds of rumors flying all over the sky. Some say that Liang Guoshi is about to ascend to immortality, and some say that there is an internal fight in the Chongxuan Pavilion, and several veteran figures work together to severely damage Liang Guoshi, so that he has to retreat to recuperate.

However, Liang Guoshi really did not go to court for a long time, and only a sick Liang Dongyou barely survived in the Dilung Mountain, and the visits from the first seat of the other pavilions were also refused one by one.

And Chu Shizhong, who had gathered hundreds of officials and repeatedly impeached Zhao Huang, the Marquis of Zhenming, was unusual.

In addition, there was also Liang Bao, a hussar general stationed at the Flood Pass, who heard that Liang Guoshi was in retreat, and wrote several times to return to visit. The lord of the country issued more than ten edicts in a row, ordering the hussar generals to strictly guard the city and not to leave. and dispatched the Wukui army to hold the land of Sanchuan Hepu, which was clearly to guard against the hussar generals upstream.

In the face of such a situation, there are many people in the government and the opposition who are moved by the wind, although the inside of the Chongxuan Pavilion is not known, but anyone can see that Liang Guoshi, the pillar of optimus, may not be far from the day it falls.

But all those who have active minds either connect with each other in private, huddle together for warmth, or look for other backers who can cling to and rely on.

And the Marquis of Zhenming, Zhao Huang, has a strong reputation, and this time he left the court to patrol the border, and countless officials, large and small, and local wealthy families came to curry favor with him.

Everyone knows that Zhao Huang, the Marquis of Zhenming, is a sharp blade used by the current lord to deal with the nobles of the family, saying that it is a wide mandala and sweeping away obscenity, but who knows if he will take the opportunity to make a big fuss?

If this Marquis Zhenming said that he was hiding monsters, he really had a thousand mouths and couldn't justify it. Therefore, even if it is for self-protection, you must take the initiative to show your sincerity to Zhao Xiao.

Zhao Xiao is not hypocritical, if he sends gold and silver treasures, he will hand them over to Jiang Ru to take care of; If you send slaves and courtesans, you will be directly exempted from the lowly status and sent home.

Such a move naturally attracted a lot of praise, but Zhao Xiao didn't care, for him, the only thing to do at the moment was to arrange the mandala as the first priority.

Compared with the leniency when receiving gifts, Zhao Xiao was harsh in transferring officials everywhere he went. After the investigation, the location of the mandala selected will be demolished on the spot if it is illegal and obscene, and if it is Haoqiang Manor, it will be directly requisitioned by a warrant, and if it is not complied with, soldiers will be sent to the door to forcibly demolish it, and there is no room for turnaround.

After each mandala is arranged, Zhao Huang must personally ascend the altar to perform the law, so that it can be connected with Fang Yuji's true diagram.

Now that Zhao Xiao is practicing the law, there is no longer the danger of his soul being scattered. With the continuous refining of the Dongtian Cloud Seal and the tampering of the earth's vein qi, there is very little left of the discipline and law set by the Praise Official.

Since Zhao Xiao had also cultivated the Nine Heavens Purple Wen Dan Chapter, he could sense that the qi of heaven and earth was undergoing a subtle transformation.

Considering that Qingya Zhenjun has long since fallen, and now it is Liang Tao's general Qingya Wonderland, and his cultivation is connected with Dongtian, and the cloud seals thrown into various places must be a little entangled with Liang Tao. He should be able to clearly understand the changes in the qi of heaven and earth more clearly than Zhao Huang, and even have the feeling of mediating creation and grasping the law.

Therefore, Liang Tao's retreat is not entirely a conspiracy and calculation. In the face of the changes in the operation of heaven and earth, even a living immortal like him could not be negligent in dealing with it.

"I don't know if Liang Tao will return the Zhenyuan lock to me at that time." Zhao Xiao looked at the stone platform where the True Yuan Lock was placed, and suddenly asked Ling Xiao: "I read some of the predecessors' codex, and mentioned that the Immortal Family can be thousands of miles away and bring back the magic weapon, can I use this method to get the True Yuan Lock in my hands?" ”

"Your cultivation is far from being attained." Ling Xiao said: "What's more, this thing is in Liang Tao's hands, and if he summons it in vain, he will immediately feel it, and it will be difficult to take it away if it is forbidden." ”

"That's right, if I can directly take away the True Yuan Lock, why do I still toss this?" Zhao Xiao laughed at himself.
