Chapter Eighty-Six: Plan for a Rainy Day, Prepare for the Future
"The idea of the widow is that the bed crossbow can not only be fired in a conventional way, but also shoot 'walking arrows', which are nailed to the rammed earth walls in rows, so that the besiegers can climb the city and climb the city, and they can also be put in pockets on the strings, each pocket holds dozens of arrows, and shoots them at the same time, called 'jackdaw arrows'. I don't know what kind of surprise this thing will have after the refining of the Dharma Ring Dao Master?" Zhang Zixing also ignored Shen Gongbao and Wen Zhong's increasingly surprised expressions, his eyes were staring at the Dharma Ring tightly, just in time to meet the fanatical gaze, the two looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly laughed.
"Shen Daoyou is right, Your Majesty is now driving out the poor Dao, and I won't leave, haha!" Fa Jie is not a fool, where can I not see Zhang Zixing's true meaning, since people show him this top secret, it is by no means so simple to trust: "The poor Dao is obsessed with the study of skills, although the cultivation is not good, I also have a little experience in making weapons, especially the production of weapons, I didn't expect that Your Majesty is a confidant and a friend, and it is really worth the trip today!"
The name of the law ring is not loud, and the most prominent performance is to rely on a demon flag to capture a small role like Lei Zhenzi, but his most powerful place is not in this point, but in another matter, before the Zhuxian Array, when Jiang Ziya led the army to Bishui Pass, he met Han Sheng and Han Bian, two disciples of the law ring, and these two people relied on a thing left by the law ring to kill the Zhou army into a river of blood and collapse.
This thing is called a 10,000-bladed car, the appearance is a windmill made of paper, there is a turntable in it, one hand holds a rod in the middle, and it is pushed around it, such as a flying turntable; there are four flags on it, there are symbols and seals on the flags, and there are four words of "earth, water, fire, and wind", and the clouds and mist are suddenly born, the wind is rustling, the flames are soaring to the sky, and there are millions of blades flying in the air. To be precise, this batch of weapons (three thousand) is not like an ordinary magic weapon, but a large-scale collective lethal weapon. The Dharma Ring with its own strength can make such a thing, and he can be called an inventor, and from this point of view, the Dharma Ring can be regarded as Zhang Zixing's true colleague.
Wen Zhong couldn't help but admire Zhang Zixing when he saw that Zhang Zixing had "surrendered" the Dharma Ring so quickly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Dharma Ring Daoist." ”
Zhang Zixing got Long Wangshu, and threw the olive branch to Shen Gongbao again: "Shen Daoyou, are you willing to discuss the national teacher?"
Shen Gongbao thought about it for a long time and replied: "Your Majesty is grateful for the grace of your encounter, but Poor Dao has no intention of joining the WTO at present, so he has to live up to His Majesty's good intentions." But Poor Dao and His Majesty are destined people, and he said that when the fate comes, Poor Dao will come to help, and he will not break his word. ”
In fact, Shen Gongbao was already moving, but after thinking about it: the Son of Heaven is wise and wise, both civil and military, and there are many capable people under him, even if he becomes a national teacher, he will not have too many achievements, it is better to wait for the time of killing and robbery in the future, and then come to help and even turn the tide, Fang Xian's ability as a national teacher.
Zhang Zixing didn't know Shen Gongbao's careful thoughts, and he didn't know that Yuan Shi Tianzun had said such things to the doorman, although Shen Gongbao refused the position of national teacher and made him a little disappointed, but he also heard that there was a lot of room for change in those words, and said: "Even so, the widow can't be forced, the Taoist please remember one sentence, the position of the Great Shang National Teacher will always be vacant for the Taoist Chief." ”
Shen Gongbao was born in the demon clan, although he has followed Yuan Shi Tianzun for many years because of the opportunity, and he is also a servant and a disciple, but he has always been treated coldly because of his background, and he doesn't even have a name, and most of the rest of the disciples look down on him, but get along more harmoniously with some foreign Taoist friends. A few years ago, he finally received the mercy of Yuan Shi Tianzun and accepted him as an official disciple, but his seniority was extremely low, and his ranking was even below that shallow Jiang Ziya, which made him very aggrieved. Now that the Son of Heaven is so important to him, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction arises from the bottom of his heart, and his self-esteem, which has been suppressed for a long time, begins to flourish again.
Shen Gongbao knew that this son of heaven was enveloping him, but he still surged up with a feeling of "the death of a confidant", and he gave a salute and said: "Shen Gongbao thank Your Majesty for your courtesy, and you will come to say that you will be rewarded, and you will never live up to Your Majesty's mutual understanding!"
Zhang Zixing knew that cultivators took their promises very seriously, and when they saw Shen Gongbao say it so bluntly, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the three of them chatted for a while, Shen Gongbao ignored Zhang Zixing's hard persuasion and insisted on leaving, and the Dharma Ring really kept his promise and stayed, Zhang Zixing knew the value of the Dharma Ring, and immediately sent someone to arrange a clean place, and gave him a few drawings to study.
After Zhang Zixing arranged all this, he went straight to Kong Xuan's residence. Kong Xuan showed a surprised expression when he learned of his intention.
Kong Xuan frowned and said, "Why would the imperial brother want such a mask, which can hide his true face and not be spied on by mana, and even ...... It is not possible to calculate the real identity of the user......"
"Do you remember the identity of the loose man for my brother? This mask is for him. ”
Kong Xuan was a smart man, and immediately understood his intentions, and said movingly: "This move is very dangerous, please think twice! Brother Huang is the supreme in the world, even if he sits in the court, he can control the overall situation, why do you have to do this?"
Zhang Zixing knew that Kong Xuan was afraid that his cultivation would be too low and he would encounter danger, so he didn't explain, just insisted. Kong Xuan sighed: "I know that the emperor's brother is wise and wise, and he has already calculated the future. But the cultivation world is not ordinary, everywhere with strength first, as the emperor brother of the emperor of heaven in the world, he can still give people a little fear, if he reins in his identity and acts as a scattered person, he is afraid that there is great danger, and the emperor brother must remember to act carefully in the future!"
Zhang Zixing nodded: "Virtuous brother Jin Yu's good words, keep it in mind for my brother." Although his mana is meager, he has a rather wonderful sense of the future. This murder is not trivial, if the brother only sits in the imperial city and plans, it is tantamount to sitting and waiting to be killed, and he must do something else to expand his vitality. ”
Indeed, in the future, it is not only those ordinary immortals who will be involved in the killing, but even the saints will inevitably be involved, if they only rely on the development of national strength or military strength, they will never be able to change their fate, even if they have the help of a powerful person like Kong Xuan, they can't. It stands to reason that the sect of interception, which is closely related to the Great Shang, should be on the side of the Great Shang, but after all, the Tongtian Sect Master is only alone, and it is difficult to defeat the Four Sages.
Unless, unless, somebody, muddies the waters, or even turn the four saints who were supposed allies into enemies...... If this is the case, it is far from enough to stay in Chaoge to calculate and plan, so Zhang Zixing has already made up his mind, even if he takes a big risk, even if he goes out in person, he will muddy the waters.
"It's not difficult to cover up the true body, the five-color divine light of the foolish brother is so wonderful, even if it is the strange treasure that shines on the demon jian, it can't be illuminated clearly. Kong Xuan knew that he had a wonderful "prediction" ability, and he no longer persuaded him, revealing a deep groan: "That confusion and calculation is difficult to do, but fortunately, at the moment, the heavens are extremely confused, even if it is the saint, it is difficult to calculate it really, and the foolish brother can only do his best, hoping to achieve this effect." ”
"What's the matter with the confusion of heavenly machines?, is there anyone casting spells?" Zhang Zixing has heard this term more than once, and he has used it a few times to fool others, but he doesn't know what the reason for this phenomenon is.
Kong Xuan shook his head: "If a saint's first-class character casts a spell, although it can reverse the heavens and make the rest of the people unable to calculate, it can only be blinded for a while, not for a long time. ”
Zhang Zixing thought for a while and asked, "If Brother Wei meets a saint, will he see through it?"
"The strength of the foolish brother is only at the upper level of the Xuan Immortal, and he is not as different from the saint as the saint, how can he deceive the saint?" Kong Xuan smiled bitterly, suddenly thought of something, and asked in surprise: "Brother Huang, don't you want to...... Scheming saints?"
"My hunch has always been quite accurate, in the future killing, I will sooner or later stand on the opposite side of the saint, since I can't dodge, why not take precautions and make plans in advance? In my eyes, the saint is not a supreme being, nor does it represent any bullshit heavenly way, at most it is just stronger than ordinary people. They also have their own weaknesses and flaws, and if they can be used well, even a small ant like me can make this giant beast's head bleed. ”
Kong Xuan didn't want him to be so bold, he stayed for a long time, his eyes suddenly became free, and he laughed: "Brother Huang is so bold! Brother Fool also thought that he would be a saint, see how big the gap between my demon bird and that Mixed Yuan Realm is!"
Although Zhang Zixing said it arrogantly, he knew in his heart that it was dangerous, after all, where is the absolute strength of others, even if they use all their strategies, the hope is quite slim. Although the heavens are confused, the saint is always a saint, and who knows if he will use any thaumaturgy to calculate the truth, which is almost equivalent to nine deaths. And listening to Kong Xuan's tone, he actually had the meaning of advancing and retreating together, living and dying together, and he only felt his blood boiling in his heart, and couldn't help blurting out: "Brother Xian! You don't have to be like this, in fact, my brother ...... you at the beginning."
"Since you and I are brothers, why bother talking too much!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kong Xuan: "The foolish brother is surnamed Gu Ao, since ancient times he has cultivated so far, he has made many enemies, but there are no friends. Now that the royal brother is so frank, how can he drag the mud and water as a brother?
Zhang Zixing was thrilled when he heard this, happy and ashamed, and was speechless for a while. It turned out that Kong Xuan had already known in his heart! If anyone takes these "ancients" for fools, he will be the real idiot! After Kong Xuan said these words, he was suddenly shocked and stood there, his expression changed in an instant.
Just when Zhang Zixing was worried, Kong Xuan let out a sigh of relief, returned to his original state, his eyes released a strange look, and said happily: "Brother Huang is really my lucky star! ”
"Congratulations to the virtuous brother, the virtuous brother is a blessed person, what does the Miaowu Dao have to do with being a brother? Hugh is going to make me ashamed," Zhang Zixing was happy for Kong Xuan in his heart, "What a 'male husband should be like this'! I will no longer chatter, in the future, the two brothers will share weal and woe, life and death together, that's all!"
"Brother Huang is bold, and he treats my spleen and stomach very much," Kong Xuan smiled slightly, "Although Brother Huang's mask is a little troublesome, it has a five-color divine light as a guide, and it can be made after a while." The foolish brother is absolutely sure, as long as the imperial brother wears this mask, except for the saints, even if they are also high-level Xuan Immortals, it will be difficult to count your roots. ”
Kong Xuan said, suddenly on a whim, he calculated to Zhang Zixing silently, suddenly his face changed, he was silent for a long time, and he calculated again, this time his face was even more ugly, and cold sweat overflowed on his forehead: "Brother Huang's strange life! If I didn't know your identity in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to calculate it carefully...... Could it be that the imperial brother brought some treasures?"
Zhang Zixing was puzzled: "If you bring a treasure, how can you ask the virtuous brother to make that mask......
"The foolish brother calculated at the beginning, only to feel that the emperor's life is unspeakably precious, and then carefully calculated, but he felt that the emperor's life is very special, not only like the person who hits, but also seems not to be in control, as if ...... It doesn't belong to this heaven and earth, is it because the heavens are reversed? Why didn't Ping say that he had encountered such a strange thing? It's really strange!"
When Zhang Zixing heard this, his heartbeat suddenly became violent, and Kong Xuan could actually calculate that he might not belong to this world! What about a saint? How far can a saint be counted?
Kong Xuan explained: "In fact, the work of measurement is the degree of the cultivator's perception of the heavenly machine, the heavenly machine is unpredictable, even if it is blessed to the soul, it can only calculate the scale and half of the future, even if it is a saint, it is impossible to see it all, if it is said that the heavenly way can be grasped, maybe only the ancestor of the avenue, Hongjun, can do it." What's more, now is the time when heaven is confused, upside down and unpredictable? The imperial brother has this fate, but I am afraid that it is the destiny of heaven, and the future achievements are unlimited. Even so, coupled with the mask refined by the foolish brother, the origin can be hidden, and perhaps even the saint may not be able to calculate the true identity of the imperial brother. ”
Kong Xuan's estimating tone made Zhang Zixing's heart uncertain, but he also knew that this brother had done his best, so he nodded. Kong Xuan said again: "The imperial brother's concealment of his identity is certainly a surprise soldier, but the degree of danger has undoubtedly increased several times, I have a 'red blood escape technique' passed on to the imperial brother, this technique is left by my mother Phoenix, it can be thousands of miles in an instant, although it is extremely hurtful, but it is the most convenient to escape." When I said that I escaped from the hands of the Treasure Snatchers, it was the work of this technique, if I hadn't been too seriously injured before, I was afraid that I wouldn't have met the imperial brother. The royal brother is the world, and in the future, he must not be brave for a while, and he will be involved in danger lightly, remember!"
Kong Xuan's last sentence was that he was afraid that Zhang Zixing would not be able to pull off his identity and face and escape, but he didn't know that Zhang Zixing was well versed in the truth of "staying in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood", if it really came to that critical juncture, he was only afraid that he would be the first to "transfer strategy".
After saying goodbye to Kong Xuan, Zhang Zixing finally breathed a sigh of relief, took precautions, his preparations finally came to an end, according to Nuwa Niangniang, three years later is destined to be the beginning of the storm, every time he thinks of this, his heart has a kind of throbbing, more, but full of fighting spirit expectations.
"Where the Tao is, although thousands of people go to ......"
Zhang Zixing suddenly remembered Mencius's words, and his steps became more and more firm.
