"If it is noon, the sun is shining, then think of the Danyang rune, according to the qi vein and the rhyme, and collect the essence of the sun."

Zhao Xiao sat cross-legged under the umbrella cover, his clothes were wet, and the hem was stained with mottled mud spots, looking quite embarrassed, and a group of otter demons sat quietly in several circles, listening intently to Zhao Xiao's teaching of immortal methods.

"The fumigation of the essence of the day makes the qi return from yin to yang, and from turbidity to clear. The essence of the day has been used for a long time, and it is fluidized into the true qi of Danyang, and then it is wonderful, and the true qi is refined and condensed into the demon pill. The demon pill gradually increases its glory, and it can imitate the charm of the human body, which is the method of transformation. ”

The group of otter demons nodded their little heads as if they understood whether they understood or not, Zhao Xiao pointed to the empty book, and drew a Danyang Essence Talisman, even if it was rainy at the moment, the sunlight seemed to penetrate the dark clouds and shine down, making the talisman shine and shine brightly.

"I will pass on your Danyang rune now, this talisman can refine the true yang inside, the dead soul outside, and can also ignite the dansha and burn the talisman to summon." Zhao Xiao's expression was serious: "But you need to know that Danyang is a metaphor for the brightness of the heart." Only by breaking all kinds of evil and poisonous thoughts, so that the heart is glowing, can we achieve the true meaning of Danyang. If you have evil thoughts in your heart and have gluttony and blood filth, you will definitely incur internal fire and burn your body and destroy your body and spirit! ”

When the otters heard this, they all trembled with nervousness. Zhao Xiao looked around and said, "Okay, I have already explained the benefits and harms thoroughly, and those who wish to receive the talisman can come forward." If not, I don't force it. ”

The otter demons looked at each other, chattered, and finally bowed in unison, and several of them said: "I am willing to accept it, please give the immortal master a talisman!" ”

Zhao Xiao felt their intentions, bowed his head slightly, and the talisman seal was closed, turning into a little flame at his fingertips, seemingly faint but burning tenaciously. Flick your fingers again, and the firelight will rain down on the monster's brain.

The otter demons who got the Danyang rune were full of vitality for a while, and the fur on their bodies also added three points of oil and shine, and they hurriedly bowed again.

"Okay, no more worship." Zhao Xiao waved his hand: "You guys are also diligent these days, go to the side to rest first." ”

The otter demons left obediently, and at this time, Jiang Ru came with her skirt and umbrella, and said, "The soldiers and the people have withdrawn, just waiting for you to do it." ”

Zhao Huang nodded slightly, shook his sleeves and got up, brushed away the water vapor, and saw a rushing river under the hillside from a distance, the waves were churning, and the turbidity waves were raging. Another newly excavated canal extends into the distance, but it is not connected to the river, but is separated from the riverside embankment by the remnants of the mountain at the foot of Zhao Xiao.

Looking at both sides of the river, there are many soldiers and civilians carrying their shoulders, braving the wind and rain to avoid in a hurry.

I saw Zhao Huang fly up, came to the sky above the embankment, held the Qingxuan pen in his hand, full of mana, a painting momentum like opening the sky, suddenly walked the mountain, the rock collapsed, and the roar spread all over the radius. The separation between the rivers was shattered in one fell swoop, and the water poured into the canals, diverting the raging floods.

At this time, earth-shattering sounds broke out on both sides of the river, thousands of soldiers and civilians cheered, and some people knelt on the ground and bowed to the sky.

Zhao Huang calmed down and stirred up the true qi in his body, and after a while, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds seemed to gradually dissipate because of the praise of the people, allowing the sun to shine on the earth.

"It's finally clear." Zhao Xiao sighed lightly.

It was the height of summer, and Zhao Xiao and his party had left Xingluo County for half a year. Originally, he planned to go straight to Lingtai Market to set up the mandala. It is feasible to reach the halfway point, which coincides with the twilight spring season, and most of the Huaxu country is cloudy and rainy, and it happens to meet the year of the three rivers tide, which makes the Huaxu country located in the downstream floods frequently.

In order to keep the anointed land of Sanchuan Hepu, the imperial court originally planned to break the embankment and divide the flood. However, Zhang Duanjing, the first building of the Huaiying Pavilion, tried his best to dissuade him, believing that this would harm the people along the river, so he proposed to re-dig an ancient river channel and use it to divert floodwaters.

The lord of the kingdom agreed with this law, and immediately ordered the Wu Kui army to go to the ancient river channel immediately, and at the same time requisitioned hundreds of thousands of people from nearby counties and counties, and the soldiers and civilians worked together to dig canals and build high embankments, so as to divert the flood as soon as possible. The monks of the various pavilions were also sent to various places along the river, and once they found the disaster, they quickly reported it.

Zhao Huang was naturally in the middle of it, because the flood was raging and incessant, it was impossible for the people to dig the canal from the river, but to dig the canal to the river in turn. And Zhao Xiao was responsible for the final operation, breaking down the barrier between the river and the canal, so that the flood could be smoothly diverted and vented.

After more than a month of fighting day and night, Zhao Huang experienced for the first time that the creation of heaven and earth could not be competed with by human beings.

In fact, the first edict that Zhao Huang received from the lord of the country was not to ask him to assist in the distribution of the flood, but to ascend the altar to practice the Dharma and pray for the rain to be clear and rainy, trying to curb the continuous torrential rain and prevent the flood from continuing to rise.

But even if Zhao Huang tried his best, he only barely managed to get a few sunny days, and then the yin qi was popular in the world, and the lewd rain was endless.

In desperation, Zhao Xiao had to write a letter to ask for assistance in digging the canal, performing magic every day, moving soil and stones, and using it to repair the high river embankment. And the group of otters who followed them also burrowed into the ground, drilling the soil of the canal soft and loose, so that the people could dig it up and shovel it away.

In order to dig the canal as soon as possible, soldiers and people died of exhaustion almost every day, and Zhao Huang was powerless to do anything about it, so he could only let other monks prepare Fu Shui Dansan, but in the face of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people on both sides of the river, this was a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, this effort was not in vain, and seeing the surging flood gradually subside after the diversion, coupled with the cessation of the heavy rain, it seemed to indicate that a catastrophe had finally passed, and the boulder that weighed on everyone's hearts was put down.

Zhao Xiao did not leave in a hurry, but continued to perform magic at the diversion of the river, tamping the soil and rocks, so that it would not be washed away by the flood in the blink of an eye, and another disaster would arise because of it.

"Marquis Zhenming, thank you for your hard work."

General Wei, who was soaked in rain and sweat, walked over, at this time he was dressed in short brown, rolled up his trousers, stepped on straw sandals, used a shovel as a crutch, supported his half-lame feet, and followed by two personal soldiers, and came to Zhao Xiao's side.

"General Wei, what's wrong?" Zhao Huang was surprised, General Wei was ordered to lead the Wukui army to dig the canal and build the embankment, he himself was not idle in the high lying mansion, but shared weal and woe with the soldiers, personally stationed on the embankment, and did not leave for several months, so that now he does not look like a veteran of the battlefield, like a hard servant.

"It's an old problem." General Wei bared his teeth and said, "When it comes to rainy days, my knees hurt, and I can hardly walk." ”

"It should be rheumatism that invades the joints, making the limbs tired and inconvenient to flex and extend." After Zhao Xiao finished speaking, he picked up his pen and swept it a few times, and General Wei suddenly felt a warm current pushing by, and the pain in his legs, feet and knees was greatly relieved, and it was as light as usual.

"Marquis Zhenming is really wonderful, and he can be cured in a few strokes!" General Wei jumped excitedly.

Zhao Xiao shook his head: "It's just to guide qi and blood and suspend the pain." Later, I will give another pair of Dansan to General Wei, but if I want to cure it radically, I am afraid that I will need to recuperate for a long time. ”

"Then I'll thank Marquis Zhenming first." General Wei smiled bitterly: "It's just that the current situation, I'm afraid I can't afford to rest and recuperate." ”

"Why did General Wei say this?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"Marquis Zhenming doesn't have to ask knowingly." General Wei sighed: "The lord of the country has issued an edict to set up two armies, Zhenwei and Xuanwei, and train soldiers in the way of the Wukui army. ”

Zhao Huang really just heard about this, so he asked: "Who does the lord plan to arrange to lead the army?" ”

"It is a close attendant of the Lang official who follows the lord of the country, and does not need a foreign minister." General Wei said: "With the wisdom of Marquis Zhenming, you should understand why the lord of the country has set up two other armies. ”

Zhao Huang left Dongshengdu and arranged mandalas in various parts of the country, and it has been more than a year since then. Although he swept the powerful and powerful in the local area, he almost never interfered in the affairs of the DPRK and China. Even the science selection proposed by Zhao Xiao in his letter was sunk into the sea, and there was no response.

In addition to the Wukui army, there are two other armies, and the manpower and material resources required must be extremely large. From this point of view, the lord of the country not only wants to deal with Chongxuan Pavilion, but may also consider how to deal with the attacks of other countries after bringing down Liang Bao together.

However, Zhao Huang also heard other meanings from General Wei's words, the lord of the country did not let Zhao Huang and General Wei participate in the drill and drill of the new two armies, probably because he did not want them to be able to get involved, and he wanted the new two armies to completely obey the orders of the lord of the country.

After all, the relationship between Wu Kuijun and Wei Xiuwen and Zhao Huang is too close, one is a general, the other is a teacher, and the status and prestige of the two of them in Wu Kuijun are by no means comparable to outsiders.

"This time the Sanchuan flood, almost all the pavilions sent monks, but the Chongxuan Pavilion did not respond." General Wei said in a low voice: "This kind of posture, anyone can see that Chongxuan Pavilion is already a stranger to the lord of the country, and chaos is coming soon, and now it is on the line, it depends on who makes the first move." ”

"Isn't Liang Guoshi still in retreat?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"Maybe that's why the lord of the kingdom is on guard." General Wei said: "No one can say for sure what is going on in the Lung Mountain, in case Liang Guoshi is not in trouble, but sets a trap to lure us to jump in, then we will suffer." ”

Zhao Xiao was silent, and as the layout of the site gradually became complete, the mandala became more and more vast, and the connection with the qi of the Qingya Wonderland became more and more close. He suspected that some high-ranking people had seen the clue and deduced that Liang Tao was not injured and went into retreat.

But Liang Tao was hidden, which made others dare not act rashly. No one dares to guarantee that he will not fall into Liang Tao's calculations, which is unpredictable, but makes Liang Tao more intimidating to the world.

However, Zhao Huang felt that the lord of the country might also have other hidden means, so he asked casually: "Liang Guoshi is recognized as a family of immortals, even if you don't talk about Chongxuan Pavilion, who in the world can deal with him?" ”

General Wei turned his head to look left and right, and when Zhao Huang saw him like this, he popped up a spell: "I have already collected the surrounding sounds, but General Wei said that it is okay." ”

"That's fine." General Wei pondered for a moment: "Does Marquis Zhenming think that the country will deal with Liang Guoshi, will there be no help from the masters?" ”

"Superior?" Zhao Xiao asked: "Could it be the East China Sea Sword Immortal Hongxueke?" ”

General Wei shook his head: "It is estimated that Hongxueke and other worldly masters will not help, but Hongxueke is not the only one in the East China Sea. ”

Zhao Xiao knew that there were many immortal cultivators in the East China Sea, but since this kind of character chose to live overseas, he obviously did not intend to be involved in the disputes in Kunlun Continent from the beginning.

"I don't know which overseas master is enough to make Liang Guoshi jealous?" Zhao Xiao asked tentatively.

"Phantom Wave Palace, have you heard of the Marquis of Zhenming?" General Wei smiled mysteriously.

Zhao Xiao frowned: "I have heard of it, but I know very little." ”

"It is rumored that the current Hou Qi Zhou family is the descendant of the East China Sea Phantom Wave Palace." General Wei said: "And not only that, the Phantom Wave Palace also has close contacts with the various water mansions in the East China Sea, and they have concluded an alliance, which has made it impossible for the Chongxuan Pavilion to obtain spiritual treasures from the East China Sea Mansion!" ”

Zhao Xiao was secretly shocked in her heart, he had heard Jiang Ru mention a similar situation, but at that time, she just said that the number of Shuifu treasures that Chongxuan Pavilion had obtained recently was far less than before. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid it's the result of the Phantom Wave Palace's secret promotion.

"Phantom Wave Palace and the various water mansions in the East China Sea are planning to meddle in Kunlun Continent?" General Zhao Huang was suspicious: "It's not that my eyes are above the top, it's just that these immortal cultivators who live overseas may not have experienced the tempering and tempering like the Great War of the Five Kingdoms. I have seen Liang Guoshi's fighting skills, and he is far from being able to defeat him by relying on the number of people. ”

General Wei smiled: "This time it can be regarded as Marquis Zhenming, you are mistaken. The East China Sea is not a peaceful world, and the various Shuifu sects also have to grab territory. The native people of Fanbang on some islands still fight and kill. Maybe their customs and habits are different from those of Kunlunzhou, but they are by no means gentle and idle and easy to bully. ”

For some reason, Zhao Xiao, who heard this, was a little disappointed: "I originally thought that the masters who lived in overseas immortal islands could enjoy peace and tranquility. ”

"But where there are people, there is strife, and there has been no peace since ancient times." General Wei comforted: "Marquis Zhenming has opened the altar to patrol the realm and leveled the heroes, and I also understand a little bit of your thoughts." It is said that this kind of drudgery such as digging up the earth and repairing the embankment does not require the participation of the monks of the pavilion, but you still try your best, and even delay the work because of it. ”

"Saving people from fire and water is the right thing." Zhao Xiao looked at the dark clouds that were gradually drifting away in the sky, since the discipline and law of the praise official collapsed, he could not directly instigate the qi of heaven and earth, but wanted to borrow the law from Liang Tao. The depth and breadth of the mana borrowed depends on the depth of one's connection with the Qingya Fairyland Realm.

It's just that in the past, the discipline and law of the praise officials were based on the purpose of benefiting people and people, and Zhao Huang's heart was also based on this.

And the lineage of Qingya Wonderland is based on the tranquility of the immortal family, and Liang Tao's intention to control the qi of heaven and earth alone, which makes Zhao Xiao not very suitable for metaphysics, so he always feels itchy in his boots when using the law, and it is difficult to do his best.

If you are in the blessed land, it is fine, but if you lose the land and Fuzan, Zhao Xiao's Dharma work will be greatly weakened, so that praying for good weather and rain will only be effective for a few days.

Others admired Zhao Xiao's rituals and rituals very much, but he understood that his rituals were not as good as in the past. As for Liang Tao's promise to Zhao Huang for the position of future master, it is difficult to predict whether he can succeed.
