"Are you worried that I'm going to spread the word that you're back in the world?"

Outside the camp, Zhao Xiao stood on a high slope, Qian Shaobai saw that he was holding a jade cong and looking up to the sky, his intentions were unpredictable, and he stepped forward to ask uncertainly.

Zhao Xiao glanced back at Qian Shaobai, put away the True Yuan Lock, and said suddenly: "Yes, I do have this concern. ”

Qian Shaobai's heart jumped, and he lowered his voice and explained: "You have long been dead in the eyes of the world, even if I spread it to the outside world, others may not believe it!" ”

"Really?" Zhao Yan said: "If Qian Daoyou doesn't tell others, will he also hide the head of his own sect?" I'm afraid that when the time comes, the four immortals of your sect will not allow me to live in the world. ”

Qian Shaobai was speechless for a while, and Zhao Xiao continued: "Actually, Qian Daoyou sent a letter to inform the sect elder that I couldn't stop it. I'm just curious why Qian Daoyou didn't do it. ”

"I, I'm ......" Qian Shaobai was also a little confused, why did he forget that he could still do this?

Based on Zhao Xiao's current experience, he can see that Qian Shaobai is restless, and he had a similar situation when Xuanzhu was rising.

"Is Qian Daoyou a personal disciple of the head of Shangjing Sect?" Zhao Xiao asked casually.

"No, I'm a disciple of the first line of Qianzhang Peak." Qian Shaobai replied.

Zhao Yan said: "I heard that there are five peaks in Tiancheng Mountain of Shangjingzong, and I originally thought that the inheritance of each peak was different, but I thought that outsiders misunderstood. Qian Daoyou can be taught in front of the head of your faction, which is very rare. ”

Qian Shaobai nodded and said: "The head of the sect retreats and cultivates on weekdays, and it is true that he does not often promote the backwards. ”

Zhao Xiao smiled: "It seems that Qian Daoyou still doesn't know." ”

"Don't know what?" Qian Shaobai's face was puzzled, but Zhao Xiao smiled and said nothing.

At the beginning, Liang Tao once talked about the world's masters, and Han Yuanzi, the head of Shangjing Sect, was one of them. With Liang Tao's arrogant personality, the characters that can be looked down upon by him are all extraordinary and vulgar.

Compared with the Four Immortal Princes, Han Yuanzi's reputation is not obvious, and even Zhao Huang once thought that Shangjingzong had no head at all, and the Four Immortal Princes had the final say.

In the battle of Dilung Mountain, Shangjingzong had a master to exert his magic power, and he quickly fled after winning a blow, which shows that his people grasped the timing of the battle situation extremely accurately, and they could restrain Liang Tao, so it could only be the head of Shangjingzong who personally took action.

Compared with the brave and strong King of Baixiang, Han Yuanzi's depth and unpredictability are even more difficult to deal with, and now listening to Qian Shaobai relay his evaluation of himself and Liang Tao, Zhao Xiao feels that Han Yuanzi's realm is high, and it is not a lie that his person is close to the immortal Dao.

It is really unwise to confront such a person, and Zhao Xiao plans to use Qian Shaobai as an opportunity to secretly test the other party.

"Two, there is an urgent report from the scouts, more than two hundred miles southeast of this place, there may be monsters entrenched." Guan Shiping interrupted the conversation between Zhao and Xiao.

"Monsters?" Qian Shaobai asked, "Have you found out the origin of the monster?" ”

"This matter is not clear, so I specially asked the two of them to help." Guan Shiping unfolded a map and pointed to a place where rivers and roads meet: "This is the county seat of Tatehua, we received the news that the county order was killed, and we originally thought that it was a combination of thieves and robbers colluding with the people to cooperate with the outside world. But a few days ago, several teams sent to Tatehua County have not been heard from, and the latest group of scouts has escaped half of them, and they suspect that Tatehua County is occupied by monsters. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers who looked embarrassed and tired were brought in, and Guan Shiping said: "It's just a few of them, just ask." ”

Qian Shaobai was just about to speak, but glanced at Zhao Xiao, and saw that he was silent, so he asked the soldiers, "Have you ever seen what that monster looks like?" ”

The soldiers shook their heads slowly, all of them looked listless, Qian Shaobai saw the clue, stepped forward to take the pulse for a while, and then gasped.

"What's wrong?" Guan Shiping asked.

"Their vitality is captured by demons." Zhao Xiao said: "It should be a monster that feeds on life. ”

Guan Shiping asked, "Could it be a fox demon?" I've heard that fox demons like to have sex with men the most, absorbing the vitality of others to help them cultivate. ”

Zhao Huang smiled, looked at the soldiers for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't see it, they don't have any significant demonic energy on them. ”

Qian Shaobai's eyes rolled and asked, "What is the situation in Tatehua County now?" ”

"Before we went in, there was an impenetrable fog outside, and several brothers and horses were suddenly dragged away, and we had to come back." When the soldier replied, his expression was confused.

"Not only are their lives damaged, but even their souls are disturbed by witchcraft." Qian Shaobai's expression was solemn.

Zhao Xiao raised the wooden staff in his hand, the top of the blue light was like a wave, and with a slight flicker, the light like a rain fell on those soldiers. I saw that their complexion had improved slightly, but the drowsiness on their faces was heavier.

"I've done a trick to calm their souls, and if you don't want to leave them behind, it's best to let them sleep for three or two days." Zhao Xiao said.

Qian Shaobai nodded slightly at Guan Shiping, and immediately let these soldiers go back to the camp to rest.

"It doesn't look like an idle monster." Guan Shiping frowned: "What kind of monsters have really come out these days, and they actually dare to steal and occupy the city, and the people in the city are afraid that they will be more than lucky!" ”

Qian Shaobai's face was also ugly, and Guan Shiping said: "Now that the Yaochi Kingdom frequently uses troops, and the various departments in Northern Xinjiang have also gone south repeatedly, the Four Immortal Princes are afraid that they will not have time to take care of our side." ”

Zhao Xiao couldn't hear that he was saying this to himself, so he said: "If General Guan is not too rough and evacuating, Xu is willing to go and investigate." ”

"Huaiyu is really too humble!" Guan Shiping couldn't hide his excitement: "With the help of real people, why worry about the immortality of demons and evil and the injustice of chaos?" ”

Qian Shaobai said: "I will also go together, and if I encounter unexpected variables, I will have a response." ”

"That's even better." Guan Shiping said: "I will send another 500 elite soldiers to you to investigate." If I can see the success this time, I will definitely play it in the book! ”

……

The boat went all the way to the south, crackling the turbid river, and the dense knotweed flowers on both sides of the bank could be faintly seen, which was purple and red, quite gorgeous.

However, with such a view, there are no pedestrians on the shore, and the rolling mountains in the distance are also lifeless, without the slightest scenery of the beautiful mountains and rivers in the past.

Qian Shaobai sighed lightly: "In the past ten years, there have been frequent disasters, and I really don't know how many more young people it will take to regain vitality." ”

"If we can quell the bandits and evil spirits, control the floods, and repair the roads, it will not take ten years to recover." Zhao Xiao held the Zhenyuan lock and looked up to the sky, as if he was talking to himself.

Qian Shaobai said: "Ten years? That's too light, isn't it? ”

"Qian Daoyou is underestimating the people's yearning for living and working in peace and contentment." Zhao Xiao said: "I have probably traveled all over Huaxu and seen many places that were devastated by the War of the Five Kingdoms, and regained prosperity and wealth after ten years of fighting in Shouyang. I think there is a similar place in the country of bears. ”

Qian Shaobai also had to admit that this was reasonable, but he still couldn't help but say: "What about the current Huaxu Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Xiao retracted his gaze, pondered for a moment and said: "Foolish people act recklessly, causing disaster to the world, you should take it as a warning." ”

Qian Shaobai looked around, gathered his voice, and said carefully: "What did you and Liang Tao do back then?" ”

"In order to create a kingdom of Taoism on earth, we must first achieve the Tao of God, and always capture the number of heaven and earth." Zhao Xiao replied.

Qian Shaobai was stunned when he heard this, and his face was full of disbelief: "You really plan to do so?" ”

"You don't believe me?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"This is too ......," Qian Shaobai said thoughtfully: "It's too exaggerated." ”

"You're trying to say it's too delusional, right?" Zhao said: "Many people see it this way, and I was similar at first. Later, I fell deeper and deeper, even to the point of madness, and gradually felt that this method was feasible. ”

Qian Shaobai was silent in thought, while Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "In fact, looking back now, many things back then seemed to be well prepared, but most of them were conceived out of thin air and unrealistic. Just because the battle of Dilung Mountain attracted the joint efforts of all the masters in the world, it can be seen that Liang Tao's plan is extremely flawed.

Even if he didn't want to ascend to the altar and ascend and achieve the Divine Dao, Liang Tao's situation back then was already a hidden calamity, as long as he and Chongxuan Pavilion were a little weak and weak, they would immediately usher in siege and invasion from all directions. Even in the market and township, there are grudges everywhere and enemies everywhere, it is difficult to have a long time.

The ancients, the house of goodness, there must be afterglow; If you don't accumulate goodness, there will be aftermath. That's true! ”

Qian Shaobai asked: "Liang Tao was known as a living immortal family back then, he wouldn't be able to conceive out of thin air, right?" ”

"In my opinion, not to mention the immortal family in the world, even the heavenly immortal family will inevitably make this kind of mistake." Zhao Xiao said bluntly: "The mortal world is not a cave heaven fairyland, and it is impossible to let them manipulate it willingly. If you have such a heart, you will surely bring misfortune upon yourself. ”

If it comes to cultivating mana, Liang Tao is of course extremely profound, even if he really has the Immortal Family's Nether Fighting Method, he can compete with each other, and he is not inferior.

But it is often this incomparably powerful profundity that makes Liang Tao breed a huge delusion, making him treat this world as something that can be manipulated and disposed of as he wants.

The battle of Dilung Mountain proved that Liang Tao could not anticipate all changes, let alone dictate the world. Such a realm is not enough to become the Venerable of Shinto, and Liang Tao's best result is also to become the mainstay of the Dharma Compendium.

Moreover, Zhao Xiao's frenzied state of mind at the beginning showed that even if the Dharma was successful, Zhao Huang would become a Taoist master, and he would only become more domineering and reckless than Liang Tao, and he would not tolerate the slightest disobedience.

In this situation, Zhao Xiao shuddered every time he returned to the capital, he would become terrifying, this is neither a quiet and leisurely immortal way, nor a divine way to help the world, such a disaster to the world, it is a huge mystery in the world.

Therefore, Zhao Huang felt that Han Yuanzi, the head of Shangjing Sect, was indeed clever, not only because he hid himself behind the Four Immortal Princes, and his reputation was not obvious, and it seemed that even Qian Shaobai did not expect that his own head had the realm of connecting with the Immortal Dao, but also because he could see through the biggest flaws and shortcomings of the Dao Kingdom in the world at a glance.

The so-called "everything in the world is determined by the world", one refers to the fact that Liang and Zhao want to create a Taoist country, but they don't know where the foundation is, regardless of the world, and they are arbitrary, and there is no way to talk about it.

The second refers to the affairs of the world, and the heavenly immortals do not have to interfere. Since Canghua Tianjun has achieved immortal path and long-term vision, he does not have to set foot in the world, otherwise he will not only fall, but also affect the common people and cause a catastrophe.

"Han Yuanzi does have some ability." Ling Xiao suddenly reminded: "Qian Shaobai will come here, I'm afraid it's not accidental. ”

Zhao Xiao asked secretly: "Could it be that Han Yuanzi knows that I am still alive?" ”

"It's hard to say." Ling Xiao said: "According to Liang Tao, Han Yuanzi is close to the Immortal Dao, so he will naturally have some subtle inductions. Even if you don't say anything about it, the situation you reappear in the world will sooner or later be noticed by all the masters. ”

"Whoever does something, he will be angry." Zhao Xiao said.

Qian Shaobai saw Zhao Huang suddenly say this, and he didn't know what his intentions were, so he asked: "By the way, I have seen you often hold a jade cong to look at the sky these days, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

"I'm watching to see when the calamity dissipates." Zhao Xiao dealt with it casually.

Now that the Zhenyuan lock is in hand, Zhao Xiao began to prepare to go to the Zhenyuan Jade Mansion. However, this cave is not fixed in a certain blessed place on a mountain, and its portal shifts and looms with the changes of yin and yang.

One of the wonderful uses of the True Yuan Lock is to deduce the change of Qi number. Because of the difference in the weather of the mountains and rivers in ancient and modern times, even Lingxiao could not point out the exact direction for Zhao Xiao, so he could only start from scratch with the True Yuan Lock.

"Do you see a clue to that?" Qian Shaobai asked curiously.

"I'm afraid it's not so ......fast," Zhao Huang suddenly sensed, looked up into the distance, and saw that the river was covered with fog.

"Stop the boat!" Qian Shaobai also noticed that the situation was different, and did not dare to let the ship move forward.

"Sure enough, there are monsters doing it." Zhao Xiao looked at the fog in front of him, held up his wooden staff, and wrote a spell, and then caused a strong wind to howl, blowing a thick fog.

However, after a strong wind blew for a while, no fog was to be seen, and no one could see that it was unusual.

Qian Shaobai sacrificed the rainbow pearl and released a large piece of rainbow light, which had the power of breaking the illusion obstacle, but after shining for a long time, the fog still did not subside.

"It's not an illusion, but the fog seems to disturb the perception of the five senses." Qian Shaobai said.

"How far is this place from the county seat of Tatehua?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"About ten miles to go." Qian Shaobai replied.

Zhao Xiao said, "The scope of this mist is too large, and it is definitely not something that can be created by an ordinary magic formation. If the demon is spitting out the clouds, I am afraid that the great demon of hundreds of years will not be able to do it...... You have such a powerful monster in the bear country, haven't the four immortals prevented it from happening? ”

Qian Shaobai glanced at Zhao Xiao and said: "Since the drastic change in Dongshengdu, the turbidity is smoking, and the number of demons and evil is increasing day by day. ”

Zhao Huang was slightly embarrassed, after the death of Canghua Tianjun, the earth's veins vibrated and the turbidity was mixed, which not only caused a catastrophe, but also caused the ancient turbidity hidden deep underground to pour out. This is very detrimental to the immortal cultivators, but it is a rare blessing for the demons who are greedy for blood food and cultivate the turbid qi.

It can be said that in today's era, the weak and turbid are prosperous, and the demons are destined to be popular.

"It's my fault." Zhao Xiao sighed, compared to his own momentary arrogance, he had not thought deeply about the disasters that might be caused by the failure of the Dao Kingdom Law Ritual in the past. It should be the thing he is most proficient in, but he made such a mistake, and Zhao Xiao felt deeply responsible.

"I'm going to go in and find out for myself." Zhao Xiao made up his mind that he would not only take revenge, but also clean up the disaster he had caused.
