Kunlun one millet

Chapter 132

"Zhao Shu, let me advise you, even though you are favored by the lord of the country, but you attack and kill the magistrate without any scruples, have you ever imagined what will happen to you?"

Chu Mengchun was slightly startled at first, but thinking that Zhao Mi hadn't set up a killer for him, he guessed that he was still afraid, and his tone turned into a warning:

"In a remote place, there may occasionally be evil spirits stealing the altar and bewitching the people. You are young and vigorous, and you can't rub the sand in your eyes. This is a good thing. But you must know how to be flexible in your life, and you can't just rely on magic power to kill recklessly!
Even if your Wukui army succeeded Gao Pinggong and supervised Jian Jiaguan's military affairs, how can you be so arbitrary when it concerns people's livelihood and government affairs in a place?If you don't trust the county magistrate Xinglong, can't you discuss it with me in advance? "

"At this time, are you still talking about this kind of official talk?" Zhao Mi said indifferently: "If Xinglong County is like this, Qingyan County may prostitute ghosts and gods and make troubles all over the countryside. Since I have been ordered to hunt down evil spirits, The first thing is to wipe out all these evil spirits one by one, lest they collude with Jiuli Kingdom."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Mengchun said incredulously: "The local shrines are all ritual gods, but they have efficacious effects, and they are all inspected by our Chongxuan Pavilion. How dare you slander these ritual gods for collaborating with the enemy and treason ?"

"Whether it is true or not, I will know after I make a detailed inspection." Zhao Mi said.

"Reverse, reversible!" Chu Mengchun struggled repeatedly, and was about to raise his true energy, but felt a sharp pain in his chest, and at some point a restraining spell wrapped around his throat.

"Golden Guan Yusuo Strong Curse, don't struggle." Zhao Shu said: "This is the magic technique used by Tianxia Dynasty to restrain evil cultivators. Backlash self-injury."

Among the monks and magicians trained by the Tianxia court, those who are forbidden by curse are the best at performing restraints and exorcising evil spirits.The ancestors of the Zhao family had contacts and exchanges with curse forbidden creatures, so several forbidden formulas have been handed down.

But the method of restraint is not so rare, even those who have succeeded in refining qi can restrain it by distributing qi.Zhao Mi's supplementary spells are like putting a complicated lock on the restriction, which is difficult for people to break.

It's just that this kind of prohibition spell can only suppress Chu Mengchun, but it has no effect on someone like Liang Tao, and even the restriction on the woman in the veiled hat is gradually weakening.

"Friendly Daoist cultivation." Zhao Shu cupped his hands towards the woman in the veiled hat and praised: "Seeing that Daoist friends use the piano as an instrument and play music in formations, could it be that they were born in the Fengming Valley of the Western Land? I vaguely remember that Fengming Valley was unwilling to help the Yaochi Kingdom to prosper As a result, the king of Baixiang invaded the sect's dojo, and the disciples of the sect had no choice but to flee the Yaochi country. I never thought that I would see a descendant of Fengming Valley here."

The woman in the veiled hat sat side by side, she didn't show her true face, she held the strings with her ten fingers, and said in a low voice: "Marquis Zhenming is proficient in all schools of cultivating immortals, it is really extraordinary. Under Xialu Wangji, I dare not call myself Fengming Disciple Gu is now just a random cultivator in the Jianghu, taking shelter under the guard of Chu County."

As soon as Zhao Mi heard it, he understood that Fengminggu's sect had long since disappeared, and Lu Wangji went to the East alone. He wanted to settle down and improve his cultivation, so it was not unusual to join the Chongxuan Pavilion.

"Fengming Valley's disciples are all elegant and noble scholars, and Lu Wangji Daoist Lu Wangji's piano sound is far from vulgarity, presumably he doesn't want to sink into the world of mortals." Zhao Mi did not speak contemptuously, but persuaded him with kind words: "I and Chu The sheriff is a secular person, if there is any dispute, it is only because of the little power, status, gold, silver, and silk, which is really against the true meaning of Taoism. Daoist friends don't get involved in it, and damage the Dao."

"Does Marquis Zhenming also understand qin music?" Lu Wangji was silent for a while, then asked.

Zhao Shu felt a little troubled in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Excuse me, Zhao's muffled ears, I can't understand Xianyue, and I only have a few rough comprehensions. It’s a little bit less retrospective. It should be known that even though the phoenix is ​​comparable to the extraordinary birds, it still needs to eat and drink, drink from the spring, and catch a glimpse of the world, which is the wonderful purpose of the fairy family.”

Zhao Mi was proficient in saying this, and he used rote formulas and ramblings, and his understanding of music was at best the various fluting, playing, singing, and ringing bells and chimes of scientific ceremonies.

However, Lu Wangji seemed to really listen to it, and sat there without trying to break free from the restraint. He lowered his head and stroked the strings, with an appearance of concentration.

"Hey! Why are you in a daze! Why don't you hurry up and rescue me?" Chu Mengchun next to him said angrily, "Didn't you say that you are very capable? You usually play the piano and play music all day and ignore the mundane affairs, but now it's your turn to do it. Pretend to be a little lady, who is she pretending to be?!"

Zhao Mi laughed secretly when he heard the words, he had to see that this Lu Wangji, as his name suggests, devoted himself to cultivating immortals and Wuxuan, without the slightest intention of deceit.Zhao Mi's words made her understand something, so she ignored the disturbances from the outside world, and even forgot that she was responsible for rescuing Chu Mengchun.

Zhao Mi's previous remarks were somewhat out of self-effacing, but seeing Lu Wangji's state of not being disturbed by outsiders and cultivating enlightenment at any time, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He is the real cultivator of immortality, and he has a few operations in his spare time. He does not use any means, but he is bent on rolling in the world.

"Governor Chu, you and I don't want to bother this Lu Wangji fellow Taoist." Zhao Mi lifted Chu Mengchun onto the shaft of the chariot and signaled He Dangguan to disperse the surrounding servants.

Chu Mengchun still refused to give in, and scolded: "There have been rumors in the court that you, Zhao Mi, are a mad dog raised by the lord of the country. If you are short of money, you will be released to bite people. At first I thought it was an exaggeration. Today I I have seen it!"

"Yes, we are indeed short of money now." Zhao Mi reprimanded: "But what we lack is the money and food for the front-line military supplies! It's not for the enjoyment of a few dignitaries!"

Chu Mengchun laughed back angrily: "I see, you dare not attack Gao Pinggong, but instead bite our Yi'an Chu family? I think you think you didn't die fast enough!"

Zhao Mi said, "Governor of Chu, after you left the county seat, General Wei sent someone to take over the county government office and your mansion. Do you think that I will really do it my own way? "

Chu Mengchun raised his true energy several times, but he was restrained by the restraint on his neck, and his face turned red and purple: "Do you think you can do anything recklessly just because someone is protecting you?"

Zhao Mi asked back: "Am I really the one who relies on others to cover up and act recklessly? Governor of Chu, you are also a local magistrate, and you have cultivation. You should know the situation of the evil spirits in Xinglong County who are worshiped with incense, but you are right Turn a blind eye to this, this is not a crime of negligence that can be prevaricated."

After Zhao Mi decided to do three thousand to the rat demon, he wrote to General Wei and asked how to deal with Xinglong county magistrate.

Now General Wei has succeeded Gao Pinggong, and he is in charge of Jianjiaguan and the military affairs of several counties in the south, and has the right to appoint and dismiss on the fly.The lord sent General Wei to guard Jianjia Pass. In addition to dealing with the Jiuli Kingdom, another arrangement was to clean up the power of the Chongxuan Pavilion in the southern counties.

But it was not easy. Although Chongxuanguan could not control Jianjiaguan, the officials of several counties and counties in the pass that provided military supplies for the front were mostly the children of the four surnames of Chongxuanguan.

For example, in Qingyan County, after so many years of operation, the Chongxuan Pavilion has a deep-rooted local influence, and they are all in the hands of them, and there is no way to deal with it without some extraordinary measures.

In fact, Zhao Mi's original idea was to take down the magistrate of Xinglong County on the charge of taking bribes from the treasury official and the bank.As a result, General Wei planned to go one step further, simply using the county magistrate of Xinglong as a bait to lure Chu Mengchun away from the county seat, and he directly sent troops to seize it, letting Zhao Mi let go.

Chu Mengchun was also prepared, and brought hundreds of private soldiers along with him. He thought that even if he couldn't take Zhao Mi down, he would be able to force him back and regain control of Xinglong County.

But he never expected that Wu Kui's army had been staring at the entire Qingyan County from the very beginning, and had no intention of letting him go back to regain power.

"Has the lord tasted the sweetness?" Chu Mengchun was full of hatred and anger: "It is not enough to bring down the Jiujiang Zheng family, and now you plan to liquidate our Yi'an Chu family? Do you really think that the first seat will be indifferent? ! "

Zhao Mi didn't answer, maybe the king felt that Liang Tao's voluntary retreat was a sign of the powerlessness of the Chongxuan Pavilion, so he planned to take advantage of the situation to pursue and cut off the power of the Chongxuan Pavilion step by step.

Anyway, General Wei's ability to take action against a county guard must have been ordered by the king.

However, Zhao Mi, who has met Liang Tao himself, is very clear about what kind of ambitious plans Liang Tao has. This master of the state teacher makes a little concession, and he is destined to reap a lot of money in the future.

"Let's go." Zhao Mi put one hand on Chu Mengchun's shoulder: "I don't know if the governor of Chu has enough weight, please look down at this world of mortals."

……

The sea of ​​clouds is churning, the mist is flowing, and there are occasionally three or five strange peaks looming among the vast clouds.

In a trance, a round of red sun rises, the clouds are clear, and the sky is full of clouds.

Anyone with extraordinary eyesight will surely be able to glimpse the fire in the sea of ​​clouds to refine the true script into seal characters, forming a net to protect the lofty mountains and mountains.

After a while, the fire-refined text gradually disappeared in the sea of ​​clouds, and the red sunset revealed a tall man with red beard and eyebrows. He was dressed in ocher red and short brown, with patched cuffs, and his bare feet were covered with calluses. , with dark skin and hairless legs and shins, he looks like a poor old farmer in the countryside, not like a master with profound magic skills.

But this man's pupils are like everlasting lamps, shining brightly, and ordinary people dare not look at him when they see them.

"Mr. Huai Ming, Yu Yuzuo came to Baimaochang and said that there is an urgent report." A warrior with a bow came forward and said.

"Urgent report? Could it be that the imperial court army is going to attack a certain village?" Mr. Huai Ming asked.

"Yu Yuzuo didn't elaborate, it seems to be related to the history of a Wukui army commander."

Mr. Huai Ming nodded, then looked up as if he had a feeling, and just saw a bolide shooting down from the top of the mountain.

"Mr. Jing Ming is out of the seclusion?" The bow warrior said slightly surprised: "Eh? That direction is Baimaochang. But we didn't send anyone to disturb Mr. Jing Ming's retreat."

"I think he has a sense." Mr. Huai Ming kicked his feet into the air: "You continue to patrol the mountain, and I will find out what happened."

After saying this, Mr. Huai Ming fled away on a cloud of fire.

After a while, the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and a rural field appeared in front of us. The vast thatch swayed with the wind, and the white catkins fluttered like waves.

However, this seemingly peaceful wilderness actually hides murderous intentions.If there is an attack from a foreign enemy, thousands of darts and arrows will fly out immediately, and the army of the Huaxu Kingdom's court once fell here.

"Mr. Huai Ming, are you here too?"

Seeing the fire cloud falling, the second brother Yu immediately got up and saluted.In front of him was an old man in a sackcloth, his eyes were wrapped with cloth towels, and the burn scars on his face were faintly visible.

Mr. Huai Ming nodded slightly, and then said to the blindfolded old man, "Jing Ming, why did you leave the customs early?"

"I sensed that someone outside the mountain was using extraordinary mana, instigating the yin and yang energy of the world to send down evil thunder." Although Mr. Jing Ming's eyes were blinded, he seemed to have an unusual feeling: "Yu Yuzuo came this time to report this matter ,right?"

"Yes." The second brother Yu didn't say anything, but he admired Mr. Jing Ming's foresight and foresight in his heart.

"What exactly happened, please tell me clearly." As the three elders of Chiyun, Huai Ming and Jing Ming, neither of them had a dignified air, they casually motioned for the second brother Yu to sit down.

Mr. Huai Ming simply sat on the ground, raised his hand and took a large handful of thatch from the air, stroked his fingers with both hands, sparks appeared at his fingertips, and then began to weave.

The second elder brother Yu was not surprised by this, and began to tell what he had seen on the way from Qiaozhang Village to Xinglong County, especially focusing on how Zhao Mi opened the altar and summoned Lei to attack the temple.

"Zhao Shu? Deacon of the Jinding Division?" Mr. Huai Ming paused.

Second brother Yu nodded and said, "Yes, according to Lieutenant Zhangcunli, this Zhao Mi is still Huaiyingguan Sanqing and Wukui Commander Shi. But his most important identity should be Zhenminghou of Huaxu Kingdom."

"I've heard about this man." Mr. Huai Ming showed a solemn expression at first, and then continued to weave thatch: "It is said that the Jiujiang Zheng family in the blood of the immortal lineage of the Chongxuan Pavilion suddenly fell into decline a few years ago. People speak in front of Lord Huaxu."

Mr. Jingming said: "The downfall of the Zheng family in Jiujiang is not all due to Zhao Mi's rhetoric."

"Of course!" Mr. Huai Ming snorted coldly: "Now the Lord Hua Xu seems gentle and kind, but in fact he is the most sinister and vicious! Zhan Ming went to the meeting alone, but what happened?"

Hearing this, Second Brother Yu was also a little angry, Mr. Jing Ming said: "Don't get angry, just keep talking."

"According to Qiaozhang Village Liwei, the rat monster Lao Sanqian has been completely killed by Zhao Shuxing's method Zhao Lei, and the remaining one demon pill has also been taken away by Zhao Mi." Brother Yu said: "In addition, Lao Sanqian A group of evil spirits led by Qian Chashi were all killed under the formation of Zhao Mi's troops."

"He came prepared." Mr. Huai Ming kept his hands on his hands: "At the beginning I gave you a flying fire burning evil talisman. Although it was able to turn the prostitute sacrifice of Zhenjun Xuri into ruins, I couldn't find the mouse. Where is Yaoben's lair, I didn't expect it to hide underground in Xinglong County!"

Mr. Jing Ming raised his hand and caressed the blindfold, and there was a faint fire light in the position of his eyes: "The smell of human smoke on the city wall blocks the induction. It seems that my candle lighting is not enough."

"Now that Lao Sanqian has been punished, it's a worry-free thing." Mr. Huai Ming said, "But Zhao Mi's cultivation and magic power exceeded expectations. Success, it shows the foundation of this person!"
