Chapter 271: Words and Deeds
"Please descend?" Zhao Huang resolutely retorted: "Let's not say whether the demon is sincere or not, just because of the various sins they have committed in the past, there is only one way to ambush them, and they must not indulge for a moment of leniency!" ”
"Xu Daoyou's words woke me up, I'm really ashamed." Gong Chenzi hurriedly apologized.
"It doesn't have to be this way." Zhao Xiao waved his hand and said, "If I can, I also hope to save the people inside." Or, if the Qinghe Mansion Monarch has the intention to change his evil and return to the right, he should take the initiative to return the ordinary people who were captured by them, otherwise there is no basis for his words. ”
Gong Chenzi explained: "We promised to surrender, and it was the Qinghe Mansion King who took the initiative to inform that there were demons to help, and he also promised to cooperate with us inside and outside. ”
Zhao Xiao frowned slightly when he heard this, but did not speak. Seeing this, Gong Chenzi asked, "Could it be that there is something wrong with this matter?" ”
"Have you ever thought about it, if this is a trick of Qinghe Mansion Jun?" Zhao Yan said: "This kind of monster is the first rat at both ends, seeing that he can't hold on, he takes the initiative to surrender in order to save his life."
But if the demons who came to the aid were bent on helping each other and had no intention of seizing the Water Mansion, would the Emperor of Qinghe Mansion change his mind again and in turn wrap up the three Taoist friends with other demons and demons? ”
The three elders of the Yuxiao Sect looked at each other, and Zhao Xiao saw that they did not show a worried expression, and his thoughts became clear.
"I was negligent." Zhao Xiao looked at the compass in Gong Chenzi's hand: "Daoist friends have such immortal magic weapons, and they are fearless in the face of thousands of demons and evils. ”
Gong Chenzi and the others had to smile bitterly, the Three Balances Law and the Han Yuanzi behind it were indeed the confidence for them to come to punish evil this time.
"You might as well tell him the origin of the Three Balances and Etiquette, and see how he reacts." At this time, Han Yuanzi secretly transmitted the voice to Gong Chenzi.
"Actually...... This magic weapon is not a weapon that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Jade Xiao Sect. Gong Chenzi said: "We are here for revenge, and we know that our cultivation is superficial, and we have asked Jingzong on Tiancheng Mountain for help. ”
"Shangjingzong?" Zhao Xiao actually expected the origin of this magic weapon for a long time, but he didn't break it, but said: "Shangjing Sect does have the action of punishing evil spirits and sweeping away evil monsters, but this time they did not send people to help, but lent magic weapons, which surprised Xu." ”
Gong Chenzi nodded and smiled bitterly: "We did initially hope to invite a few Shangjing Sect elders to come down the mountain to help, but this kind of thing is ...... Fellow Daoists, you also understand that it is really difficult to talk about pulling fellow Daoists into the water for their own personal vendetta.
Fortunately, Han Yuanzi, the head of Shangjing Sect, came forward in person, and after learning about our hardships, he lent out these three balance rituals. However, in the eyes of Han Yuanzi's predecessors, this matter may not be revenge, but to eradicate the evil scourge of one party. ”
Hearing the name of Han Yuanzi again, Zhao Xiao fell into deep thought. is also a master of the immortal family, if Liang Tao is like a majestic lonely peak, towering and superb, then Han Yuanzi is like an ocean of abysses, unfathomable, subtle and profound, and the realm can not be described as mysterious.
The last time it was Hong Shangwu in Bailongzhai, this time it was the demons and demons in the tomb sheep ghost city, and Zhao Huang twice killed the demons and demons in the bear country, and I felt that there were traces of Han Yuanzi's intervention.
Is Han Yuanzi too clever to really calculate his every move, and then lay it out in advance? Or did it really happen to bump into it?
"Fetal breath is more than condensing the soul." Ling Xiao suddenly said: "Those who cultivate immortals must transcend the limitations of earthly qi. The work of fetal breath, when the heart is silent, silent and true, so that the gods do not go out, and the qi guards the fate, it will be difficult for others to measure your qi fortune, and naturally they will not be able to anticipate your intentions. ”
"But now Han Yuanzi seems to be using the people of the Yuxiao Sect to test me." Zhao Huang said: "To be more precise, I seem to have inadvertently helped Shangjing Sect solve the evil and evil troubles entrenched in the place. ”
Lingxiao said, "You don't have to think of everything as subtle. Now that Shangjingzong guards the bear country, even if Han Yuanzi doesn't make a move, when the Qinghe Mansion Jun and them make a big fuss, the four immortal princes will come to interfere sooner or later. Is this also to be regarded as a layout with Yuanzi? ”
Zhao Xiao nodded secretly, he was confined to prejudices, and always felt that there was a big conspiracy in everything, but it was mediocre people who disturbed themselves.
This time the evil was originally just to facilitate the deduction of the qi number of the true yuan lock, and he wanted to deal with the evil cultivators of the Xiaoyao Cave for a while, intending to test the disciples, but the follow-up implication became more and more widespread, and the three demons and demons in the tomb sheep ghost market were involved, and this situation has exceeded Zhao Xiao's original plan.
In the face of many variables, most of Zhao Xiao's actions were improvised, and he did not have too many deliberate intentions, and Han Yuanzi said that it was impossible to get it all right.
And from the time calculation, the first time that Yuxiao Sect troubled Qinghe Water Mansion was more than half a year ago, and Zhao Xiao had not returned to Yunyan Peak at that time, where would he expect the subsequent changes?
When he reached the realm of Zhao Huang, he naturally knew that such things as looking forward to qi and deducing fortunes were not done out of thin air. It is impossible to predict everything for no reason, and even if it is to achieve the Immortal Dao, there are places where deduction and calculation are not reached.
When he was in Dilung Mountain, Zhao Xiao had seen too many accidents. Even the immortal family can't do everything clearly.
"Since it is entrusted by the head of Shangjing Sect, then I don't have to speculate too much." Zhao Xiao turned his head to look into the distance, and a group of villagers cautiously came to the bank of the Qing River.
Yesterday, the movement of the fighting method was very great, and the nearby populated settlements should have noticed the sound and light vibration, and it was not unusual for someone to come at this moment.
Zhao Xiao didn't want to be disturbed, got up and removed the jade tree, and said: "The demon has been eliminated, and it is time for Xu to leave." ”
"Xu Daoyou is leaving?" Gong Chenzi hurriedly stayed: "If it weren't for Xu Daoyou's help, I am afraid that we alone would not be able to punish the demons and evils." It's rare to meet, and I want to invite Xu Daoyou to come to Yuxiao Sect as a guest. I don't know where Xu Daoyou's fairy town is, I will come to thank you in the future. ”
"Bye-thanks, you don't have to." Zhao Huang refused: "We are all wanderers, and we have no fixed place to live. ”
Considering that Han Yuanzi may have known Xu Huaiyu's identity through Qian Shaobai, there is no need to say more about his cultivation in Yunyan Peak.
"Xu Daoyou has made great efforts to eradicate demons and evils, or he can stay for the time being and tell the local people about the causes and consequences." Gong Chenzi gestured to the distance, the villagers were looking at a muddy river beach, they didn't know how many demon corpses were buried under their feet.
Zhao Xiao still shook his head: "I just came casually, if there were no three Taoist friends besieging Shuifu and severely damaging the Qinghe Mansion, how could I promote the gathering of demons and evils?" I just took advantage of the trend, and the credit goes to the three Taoist friends. ”
"This ......" Gong Chenzi could hear that Zhao Huang didn't want mortals to know about his evil deeds.
"To appease the people, there are three Taoist friends." Zhao Xiao was very simple, took all the disciples, directly covered his figure, and left abruptly.
"Senior, he seems to be deliberately avoiding it." Gong Chenzi said.
"I can see it too." Han Yuanzi sighed softly: "Okay, it's not the time to meet at this moment, let him go." I have sent someone to inform the imperial court that the boundaries along the Qing River will be taken over again. Then you will patrol along the way, and if there are any scattered evil spirits, destroy them all together. ”
"Yes."
……
"Master, why are we leaving in a hurry?"
On the way back, Zhao Huangguan couldn't help but ask: "Obviously, we have eliminated many demons and evil in one go, so that the nearby people are free from murder, we can completely admit it generously, right?" Why hide? ”
Zhao Xiao asked indifferently, "What?" Do you want to be praised by all the peoples? ”
"That's not true." Zhao Huangguan laughed: "But after all, we have worked hard for several months, and we have indeed freed the people along the Qinghe River from demonic blackmail." If the nations are praised, it is also their own initiative, not forced by us. ”
Zhao Xiao was silent, and Zhao Sanxuan said: "Master must have other plans, so don't be self-righteous." ”
"I just don't think it's worth it." Zhao Huangguan said: "Not to mention that for the sake of yesterday's fighting method, you and I listened to the news back and forth, and the master bothered to refine the weapon, even if there is no real reward, can't you even stand a word of praise?"
Not everyone who cultivates immortals will take the risk to exterminate demons, if those who work hard cannot get praise and thanks, then who will be willing to stand up in the future? In the long run, wouldn't it be a matter of letting evil run rampant? ”
Zhao Sanxuan glanced at Zhao Xiao and saw that he still didn't speak, so he retorted: "If you want to get rid of demons and evil for the sake of fame and fortune, I am afraid that others will follow suit, and even deliberately fabricate demons and evil for the sake of fame and fortune, so as to do blackmail." In the long run, it will make people's hearts corrupt and the world will deteriorate. ”
"What the senior brother said, people who don't know still think how good the atmosphere is these days." Zhao Huangguan sneered: "Those things you said, how can there be fewer monks who have done this throughout the ages? Is it because of these people's corrupt morals that we can't even take advantage of a little bit of a good reputation? ”
In fact, Zhao Sanxuan also felt that this was reasonable, but he still defended: "If others don't say it, as far as you and I are concerned, we should not indulge in worldly fame and fortune." Destroy evil spirits because they have lived in calamity to the world, not for the praise of all peoples. If the mind is biased at the beginning of the journey, it is not conducive to long-term cultivation. ”
Zhao Huangguan was unceremoniously: "Anyone will say this kind of truth, but I just don't understand, why hide from those people?" ”
At this time, Zhao Sanxuan had nothing to say, and the eyes of all the disciples focused on Zhao Xiao, and he said indifferently: "The world depends on blessings and misfortunes, and if you want to be praised by all the people, you must be hated by demons and evil spirits, and jealous of your peers, and your reputation must be consistent with your own skills." Do you think you can afford the evil spirits that are rampant today? ”
"I see." Zhao Sanxuan was the first to react: "The master is worried that our cultivation is still shallow, and if we suddenly become famous, we will provoke demons and evil spirits. ”
"Instead of thinking about the world, it is better to consider the personal misfortune and safety." Zhao Xiao said bluntly: "And you also know just now, the Yuxiao Sect's attack on Qinghe Water Mansion also has the arrangement of the Shangjing Sect behind it, and we can help each other, and it is not necessary to be greedy for fame." ”
Zhao Huangguan scratched his head helplessly: "What?" It was like we were running around, but in the end they were all reaping the benefits. ”
Zhao Sanxuan scolded: "Enough! In front of the master, you still have such a philistine temperament, it's too much! ”
"It doesn't have to be this way." Zhao Xiao sighed lightly, after going through so much, he deeply realized what kind of results would be caused by being too public, some things were good to bear by himself, there was no need to let his disciples experience it again.
Today's Zhao Xiao, as a teacher, finally understands the state of mind of the teacher Zhang Duanjing. Zhao Sanxuan and the others have all qualifications and understanding, and Zhao Xiao also sincerely hopes that they can cultivate Dacheng.
But Zhao Xiao also understands that without sufficient experience and understanding, it is difficult to make great progress in the cultivation realm and magic attainments, and he will always stay in Yunyan Peak to cultivate, and his achievements will be limited after all.
However, when I let my disciples go down the mountain and go into the world, I didn't know what accidents would happen, and I couldn't shelter them forever.
Compared with this to eliminate the demons, Zhao Huang wanted Zhao Sanxuan and Zhao Huangguan to go down the mountain to listen to the news at first, but Zhao Huang himself had already secretly sent the altar soldiers and paper cranes to search for it carefully, and even knew more about it than the two disciples.
And the follow-up involves more and more demons, which is far beyond the level that Zhao Sanxuan and the two can deal with, and Zhao Xiao presided over it without hesitation, and finally made a huge noise, exterminating the three demons in one go.
The words and deeds of the master will affect the hearts of the disciples of the sect, and if Zhao Huang's publicity is not cleaned up, he is afraid that he will lead the disciples, at least it is the first hint in Zhao Huangguan.
And in order to prevent the disciples from being contaminated with too much killing aura, Zhao Xiao asked them to return to Yunyan Peak first, and went to Xiaoyao Cave alone, killing all the remaining evil cultivators, and also exerted great magic power to directly collapse the cave mansion to ensure that the evil was eliminated.
Later, Zhao Huang went to the uninhabited deserted village where the tomb sheep ghost market appeared, opened the altar and practiced the law to eliminate the turbid atmosphere and disintegrate the foundation of the ghost market. In the future, on the day of hope, the grave sheep ghost market will not appear.
"Are you going to leave Yunyan Peak?"
When Zhao Xiao returned to Yunyan Peak, she talked to Lu Wangji in private, and she was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that there is something important?" ”
Zhao Xiao nodded, and Lu Wangji said again: "Then I'll go with you." ”
"No, it's my own business."
After destroying the Xiaoyao Cave and the Tomb Sheep Ghost Market, the amount of Qi deduced by the True Yuan Lock was greatly accelerated, and Zhao Huang could already vaguely sense a trajectory, which was the gateway of the True Yuan Jade Mansion through the sky. If you can stay on this track, you will be able to accurately open the portal of the True Yuan Jade Mansion.
"Okay, I'll guard Yunyan Peak for you." Heron forgot the machine and did not force it.
"The Xiaoyao Cave has been destroyed, and the three demons in the ghost market have been destroyed one after another, even if there are occasional fish that slip through the net, there is no need to worry." As Zhao Xiao spoke, he sensed that the mountain protection formation of Yunyan Peak was opened from the outside world.
"Zhaobo? You're back? ”
The person who came was none other than the only remaining heir of Yunyan Peak, Zhao Xiao took the initiative to come to greet him, and even Cangyan Gong also came to introduce each other to get acquainted.
"It seems that you regard Yunyan Peak as your home." Zhao Bo said.
"Could it be that Zhaobo is not happy?" Zhao Xiao asked.
Zhao Bo waved his hand: "I am now full of food alone, the whole family is not hungry, and I don't know what to do with Yun Yanfeng's gift." Anyway, you are Zhang Duanjing's student, so it is not wrong to leave this cave mansion to you to take care of. ”
"Most of the scenery in the mountains is built by my disciples, and I, as a master, just sit back and enjoy it." Zhao Xiao sighed.
"People like you, it doesn't look like you will enjoy the filial piety of your juniors with peace of mind, and you have a stinky temper with my senior brother." Zhao Bo shook his head and laughed: "Okay, don't gossip, I've already found out where the people from Chongxuan Pavilion are." ”
