Chapter 223: Truly Break the Selfishness
"Long? Actually, it didn't take long. ”
Liang Tao looked like a jade tree facing the wind, raised his hand and touched his chin lightly, with a subtle smile on his face, first glanced at Ding Muqiu, and then looked at Zhao Xiao: "What?" Marquis Zhen Minghou has taken a fancy to the female disciple of Mingxia Pavilion? Specially in the middle of the night tryst? ”
Zhao Xiao's face was gloomy, without the slightest smile, he looked at Ding Feiyan, the first seat of the Mingxia Pavilion on the side, and the other party turned his face away, avoiding Zhao Xiao's compelling gaze.
"I don't have the heart to laugh." Zhao Xiao asked as if he were torturing a prisoner, "Ding Muqiu is your daughter?" ”
Liang Tao nodded calmly: "Not bad." ”
Zhao Xiao, who received a clear answer, did not have the slightest relief on his face, but frowned, he pressed his displeasure and said: "Ding Shouzao, please take Ling Ai away, I have something to say to the national teacher." ”
Ding Feiyan was found out by outsiders, and her face was full of shame, so she had to hurriedly pick up Ding Muqiu and escape into the night.
"You don't have to take care of people like that." Liang Tao said with a smile: "Seeing Ding Feiyan so ashamed, but adding three points of moving spring, it really makes my index finger move." ”
"It's ugly!" Zhao Xiao pressed the corner of his forehead with annoyance: "According to Ding Muqiu's age, plus the Mingxia faction took the initiative to change it to the pavilion...... Did you use Ding Shouzao to secretly control the Mingxia Pavilion a long time ago? ”
Liang Taoxin waved his sleeves, and the destroyed grass hall bamboo and wood flew up, restoring itself to its original state, he motioned for Zhao Xiao to enter the inside, and poured a glass of wine by the way and tasted it.
"When I swept away the various sects of Huaxu Country and seized the blessed land, I didn't blindly kill with revenge." Liang Tao sat on a bamboo couch: "If you have the heart to be obedient, such as Feilian and Yunzhu, I will allow them to keep the inheritance of the sect, change to the system of the pavilion, and obey the order." And like Mingxia Pavilion, I support Ding Feiya to sit in the head of the house, as for the price, I naturally want her to sacrifice herself for me. ”
When Zhao Xiao saw Liang Tao say this, he looked proud, and asked coldly: "Do you think this kind of thing is worth boasting about?" ”
"yes, or not?" Liang Tao looked around the thatched hall: "Have you ever seen Ding Feiyan and Ding Shouzao, who now look dignified and reserved, in order to win the position of the head of the family, forced the death of the same sect and the dissolution of the division commander, and used all kinds of insidious methods, and spared no effort to please me." Back then, on this bamboo couch, the cry was even louder than the Oiran of Longzangura. ”
Zhao Huang was disappointed, he originally thought that Ding Feiyan was the kind of immortal cultivator with a noble temperament and did not fall into customs, but he never thought that he would have such a past.
"I see." Zhao Xiao immediately figured out many things: "No wonder at the Yingzhou meeting, Ding Shouzuo took the initiative to show favor and helped me to win the Shenke Immortal Fruit." It's all yours, right? ”
"Exactly." Liang Tao no longer concealed it: "I know very well that the lord of the country has always wanted to win over the pavilions, intending to isolate the Chongxuan Pavilion in this way. Then I might as well plan and place the Mingxia Pavilion in it, so as to know about their various measures, and even interfere with their plans in turn. ”
Zhao Xiao's heart was cold, Liang Tao's control of the situation in Huaxu Kingdom was far beyond his imagination, and he couldn't help asking: "Fei Lian and Yunzhu have long been the leaders of the Chongxuan Pavilion, and the Mingxia Pavilion is also secretly controlled by you, what about the Zhenzhen Pavilion?" Do you have the right people to do so? ”
"Not really." Liang Tao spread his hands: "I might as well be honest with you, before I met you, I didn't think that anyone's rituals and rituals could help me create a kingdom on earth." As for the True Descending Pavilion, it's not an authentic inheritance, it's just a group of Jianghu warlocks, I want to pinch them to death, but I can do it casually. ”
For some reason, Zhao Xiao had a trace of despair in his heart, he had some thoughts before, maybe he could use the general trend to try to balance Liang Tao, and he couldn't let his heart of loneliness swell endlessly, to the point of bringing disaster to the country and the people.
And to achieve this, it is necessary to unite the various pavilions of the Huaxu Kingdom, even if they cannot force Liang Tao by force, at least they must have a place in all aspects of the future Dao Kingdom.
Liang Tao borrowed Zhao Huang to suppress the four surnames of Chongxuan, and Zhao Huang wanted to use various pavilions to counter Liang Tao. Because no matter what, in the future of the human Dao country, Liang Tao will not be able to level the world by himself.
Zhao Huang plans to let Mingxia Pavilion set up a nursing home, in addition to taking care of orphans, widows and children, but also hoping that Mingxia Pavilion can take this opportunity to gradually grow.
But when Zhao Huang knew the relationship between Ding Feiyan and Liang Tao, his plan was completely in vain, and he couldn't make a wedding dress for others.
Liang Tao stared at Zhao Xiao, and there seemed to be a different meaning in his smile: "I saw you stunned Xiao Qiu'er just now, and you acted decisively and without thinking, could it be that you already knew that I was her father?" ”
"I just guessed it." Zhao Huang said with a straight face: "Ding Muqiu's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to yours, and I sensed that her purple silk magic weapon is similar to the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace. ”
"Good eyesight." Liang Tao said approvingly: "Her purple cloud flying silk is what I refined in the early years by imitating the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace, and later integrated the Mingxia School's method of harvesting Xia, this kind of refining technique, compared with your Huaiying Pavilion, which is higher and which is lower?" ”
"With all due respect, you're just relying on the realm of cultivation to perform the power of condensing clouds and forming immortal things." Zhao Xiao was also not polite: "Since it is said that the refining tool is the first thing to identify the nature of heaven and earth, and then adjust the sacrificial refining according to its physical properties." This is something that few people in the world can do, and no matter how clever you are, it is useless. ”
Liang Tao pouted and said, "Tsk, it's better not to ask." ”
"The altar site is about to be completed, you don't stay in the Dilung Mountain to retreat and cultivate, in preparation for big things, what are you doing here?" Zhao Xiao asked.
Liang Tao smiled and said, "Since it's a big thing, I wasn't allowed to look at my daughter before?" ”
"Are you going to keep your words in disguise?" Zhao Xiao almost asked: "Even Ding Muqiu doesn't know that you are his biological father, is it possible to engage in some kind of father-daughter recognition drama at such a critical juncture?" ”
"Or else?" Liang Tao looked dead-skinned.
Zhao Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "You deliberately brought me here?" With your cultivation, if you want to avoid Ding Muqiu, it can't be easier, she can see you, you can only do it on purpose. At this time, it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches, what if Ding Muqiu is your daughter? Can't you recognize your relatives when the big thing is decided? Does it have to be at this time? ”
"What does Ding Muqiu mean is my daughter?" Liang Tao smiled: "Zhao Xiao, I didn't see that you are such a cold and ruthless person." Are your children not heavy enough? Before the soldiers set out on the expedition, they still have to say goodbye to their wives and children at home, so I can't have half of my personal feelings? ”
"I advise you not to have it." Zhao Xiao's expression was serious: "The more critical this kind of time, any partiality may lead to the failure of the law. At this time, you should fast, bathe, check your body and mind, retreat when you need to retreat, and don't run around presumptuously! ”
Liang Tao stared at Zhao Xiao for a long time and said, "I originally thought that you didn't touch Jiang Ru because she was dirty. Later, I thought you were ambitious, and you didn't want to get involved in the affairs of men and women until the big thing was settled. Now I understand that you are actually a cold person in your bones, and you look down on anyone. ”
"The last person who said I had a cold temperament was killed by my own hands." Zhao Xiao said: "I think the national teacher will not be so ignorant, as the successor of the praise official, with the benefit of the people as the foundation of the heart, if I have a cold temperament, how can I give full play to the effect of the law?" ”
"No, no, no, you just think you're doing good things." Liang Tao shook his finger: "I have only recently come to understand that your beneficial actions are nothing more than satisfying your own interests, and even using it as a flaunt." ”
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Huang was too lazy to refute such heresies.
Liang Tao smiled: "You are not only cold, but also suspicious. You always think that my every move has some profound meaning, but you never thought that I really wanted to take this opportunity to recognize my daughter. Immortal cultivators are not ruthless wood and stone, and they are also particular about breaking the dust, but they don't just abandon it...... I almost forgot, your family doesn't seem to be alive anymore? No wonder it's so cold and heartless. ”
Zhao Xiao sneered: "Thanks to the National Teacher's practice of the law to lead the flood, my father was buried in the Mirage Valley, and my mother died of illness a few years ago. ”
"Oh?" Liang Tao asked, "Speaking of this now, are you planning to avenge your father?" ”
"I want revenge, will I mention this in front of you?" Zhao Xiao said: "The sword is eyeless, the water and fire are ruthless, since you are on the battlefield, you can't guarantee that you will retreat." My father was a lieutenant colonel at best, and his cultivation was not as good as I am now, he has no old grudges with you, and I can tell the difference between right and wrong! ”
Liang Tao was originally ready to explain what happened to Zhao Huang back then, but Zhao Huang had already seen through it, which made him lose his intentions.
"You don't care so much?" Liang Tao asked, "That's your father." ”
"I'm more concerned about whether the Human Dao Kingdom can unify Kunlun Continent in the future." Zhao Xiao simply said: "As long as the five countries are juxtaposed, there will be no day when an encounter like mine will be broken." Only the unification of Kunlun can calm the grudges and settle the hearts of the people. ”
Liang Tao shook his head and sighed: "When my son Liang Shaoxi died on the battlefield, I spent a lot of effort to take revenge. ”
This was the first time Zhao Xiao had heard Liang Tao mention his son, so he asked, "...... Why did he die? ”
"Curse forbidden." Liang Tao's eyes were sharp, making people feel like a sharp blade: "There is a bear country that has taken in the curse forbidden beings of the Tianxia Dynasty, and you may know their methods better than me, right?" ”
In the Tianxia Dynasty, the most worshipped sorcerers were not praise officials, but cursed and forbidden beings.
Compared with the praise officials who need to study the rituals and rituals of the first hand, the introduction of the curse is much simpler, based on the blessing of mantras and prayers, and the prohibition of qi and qi, the superficial can prohibit snakes, insects and ghosts, and prohibit the evil qi of the body, and the clever can prohibit tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves, and enter and exit water and fire without hindrance, and can also prohibit the injuries of swords and soldiers, and the miasma and plague.
And the so-called ancient cure, the medicine is insufficient, and there are many prescriptions. Later generations of sigils and spells, both taken and used. By the time the Tianxia Dynasty set up a spell and forbade birth, it was no longer limited to the method of prohibiting the curse.
What the forbidden life pursues is not the mental realm of benefiting people, but the flow of spirit and heaven and earth, so as to transfer essence and change qi, and become the work of dispelling evil and supporting righteousness.
When rescuing patients, the cold, heat, dryness and dampness of the human body are transferred, the cause of illness is cut off, and the root cause is plugged out.
When attacking externally, the qi of the four seasons of yin and yang of heaven and earth is changed, and the principle of Shengke is used to cut down its roots and destroy its reason.
The celebrant of the Tianxia Dynasty used the mandala to instigate the qi of heaven and earth, and the curse forbidden life preferred many people to jointly cast spells and bans, and transform the qi, once activated, it could be unpredictable.
It's just that as far as Zhao Xiao knows, when the Tianxia Dynasty overturned, the cursed forbidden students did not choose to stick to the emperor's capital, but fled early, and some of the forbidden students simply became warlocks.
However, there was a group of powerful curse forbidden students who chose to take refuge in the founding emperor of Youxiong Country, and later assisted Youxiong Country in its crusade to the east and west, and the monks of Huaxu Kingdom suffered a lot at their hands.
The Forbidden Life is able to transform the qi and drive away evil spirits, but the reverse is not hindered at all. Even during the War of the Five Kingdoms, in order to make the war go smoothly, the Bear Country allowed the curse forbidden to cast all kinds of vicious evil spells, demon suppression witch Gu and other means, which caused a lot of harm.
Zhao Xiao heard the teacher mention that there were several monks who were good at swordsmanship in Huaiying Pavilion back then, and after a night attack on the enemy camp, they came back and bled and died with sword qi, and the death was extremely tragic.
"Most of the spells and methods of spelling and forbidden life are aimed at individuals, and those who refine qi and cultivate the truth are clear and suppress turbidity, like purity and disgust, and if they do it in the opposite way, they can shake the magic cultivation the most." Zhao Yan said: "For example, collect the feces of men and women, pour them into the pool and boil them into gold juice, take the pus and blood on the body of the boiled wind patients, and the women with malignant diseases in the lower body, and then take the yin soil of the grave, and combine a few things into rune water, which is enough to break most of the immortal magic. ”
Liang Tao, who heard this, couldn't help but show a disgusted expression: "Why are they all such dirty tricks?" ”
"If in the Tianxia Dynasty, this kind of filthy evil spell is strictly sealed, and the vast majority of curse forbidden beings don't know about it at all." Zhao said: "If it is not a last resort, this kind of method will not be used." What's more, with the national strength of the Tianxia Dynasty and the joint efforts of all kinds of magicians, naturally there is no need for these techniques. ”
Liang Tao said: "But now I use it." ”
"Kunlun Bandang, not everyone can keep their hearts." Zhao Huang said: "Once some things are indulged, they will cause endless disasters and harm others and themselves. ”
"You have something to say." Liang Tao didn't smile.
"I'm advising you not to be selfish." Zhao Huang said: "If you want to ascend to the throne of Shinto and master the qi of heaven and earth, you must not have the slightest selfishness, and you can live without self and desire. Now that your cultivation mana has gradually connected to the Cave Heaven and Earth Vein, if you fail, I'm afraid not only will you die, but even the entire Huaxu Kingdom will be affected, I can't sit back and watch this kind of thing happen! ”
"You've passed." Liang Tao was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Clear? What is the level? Zhao Xiao asked.
"This is the last time I test you." Liang Tao said unequivocally: "Originally, I thought that if you behaved unto my liking, I would take your life after you finished arranging the altar site." ”
Zhao Xiao's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but take half a step back. Liang Tao got up and passed by Zhao Xiao, and said, "After this incident, I understand that you really want to create a human Dao country...... I promise you, you will remove all obstacles, and the road ahead will be smooth! ”
