Kunlun one millet

Chapter 142

Facing Liang Tao's questioning, Zhao Mi remained silent for a moment, and he secretly asked Ling Xiao: "This is the end of the matter, and the Zhenyuan Lock is right in front of you, how should I answer?"

"You can handle it with just a few words, but you just came to ask me." Ling Xiao said bluntly: "You didn't test Liang Tao enough, why do you want to test me?"

Zhao Mi, who had been exposed, was speechless. Since the Yingzhou meeting, Zhao Mi had some doubts about the origin of Lingxiao, but he kept refraining from mentioning it.

Now that Liang Tao took out the Zhenyuan lock, but revealed a completely different origin from Lingxiao, how could Zhao Mi not be suspicious?
Either Liang Tao lied on purpose to lure Zhao Mi to make a correction, which would inevitably expose him.Either Lingxiao has been hiding it from herself from the very beginning, and her words are not true.

In a worse case, both may exist at the same time.

"Master Guoshi." Zhao Mi said helplessly, "I consider myself to be a cultivator of immortality, so it's not surprising that I want to seek immortality, right?"

Liang Tao smiled: "In front of you is the current immortal, besides the Chongxuan Pavilion, where else do you go to look for it?"

Zhao Mi didn't hide it: "Master Guoshi, you do have the realm of the immortal family, but I don't like it. What's more, based on my past actions, I am destined not to be able to go to the Chongxuan Pavilion."

"Speaking of these words, it can be seen that you are not a real cultivator of immortals." Liang Tao looked at the Zhenyuan lock: "You want to get back this jade cong with all your heart, and you directly accepted my request. I think this thing has a lot to do with it. Your temperament is not for yourself, but for others."

Zhao Mi was not surprised that Liang Tao was able to predict this matter. The Zhenyuan Lock fell into his hands, and of course he knew better than Zhao Mi what the magical effect was.

"I just hope that the master of the country will keep his promise and return the jade cong after I have finished arranging the rituals." Zhao Mi is really at the end of his plan, so far, there is nothing to say, the real yuan lock is in front of him, and it is impossible to grab it Grab it.

Liang Tao moved his finger lightly, and took the case directly to the wine jar, and the Zhenyuan lock also disappeared with his palm.

"You should know that I cast a talisman to set up a ban at Jianjia Pass." Liang Tao said bluntly: "Jianjia Pass is the junction of the southern border of Huaxu Kingdom, but the energy stagnates from time to time, causing springs to emerge in the pond. How do you plan to deal with it? ?”

"Jingtang springs, I think it's because the earth veins and water veins are intertwined, and the air in the earth veins is overflowing, which stimulates the water veins to spurt." Zhao Mi suddenly thought: "I can try to straighten the earth veins, evacuate some of the air mechanisms and Go out, take advantage of the trend to enlighten the spiritual acupoint, and then set up a mandala to secure the earth veins."

"Then you handle this matter." Liang Tao stood up and said.

"Wait!" Zhao Mi called to stop the other party: "This kind of thing is not easy. The ritual of combing the earth veins still needs spiritual materials. Although I am the deacon of the Jinding Division, I have to record the use of spiritual materials. It is impossible to be selfish in order to help you arrange the rituals!"

Liang Tao raised his eyes: "What? Why don't you take this opportunity to ask for spiritual materials?"

"If you don't give it, I can't do anything." Zhao Shu said bluntly: "To sort out the ground veins and stabilize the qi, at least thirty catties of yellow jelly, the fist-sized Danshan moon soul stone, and the Kunlun used for the formation are needed. Jade is also indispensable, first come a hundred catties. For the rest of the pieces, I will tell you when I arrive at Jianjia Pass to investigate carefully... Oh, Jiang Ru needs to recuperate, who should I send a message to? "

"The lion opened his mouth, but you have no scruples." Liang Tao was not angry.

"If Master Guoshi doesn't believe it, just find someone else." Zhao Mi said indifferently, "I don't have to have that jade cong. If Master Guoshi likes it, you can keep it for yourself."

Liang Tao looked at Zhao Mi, stared sharply for a moment, and then showed a subtle smile: "When you go to Jianjia Pass, someone will deliver the spiritual material to you. I just hope you don't let me down."

"I'm not a perfunctory person. I will do what I should and can do." Zhao Mi replied.

"I hope so." Liang Tao smiled and spread his hands: "One more thing, return Chu Mengchun's treasure money."

"What?" After Zhao Mi captured Chu Mengchun, he also took away his magic weapon, but unfortunately he has no time to study and explore recently.

"You take that magic weapon carefully to bring disaster upon yourself, it's better to return it to me." Liang Tao said.

Zhao Mi knew that these precious treasures had their own inheritance, and it was really not suitable for outsiders to take them by force, so he had to take out the square hole coin from his bosom and return it to the other party.

After taking back the lost treasure money, Liang Tao walked out of the water pavilion with a flick of his sleeves, stepping on the water Lingbo.There was a moonlight reflection in the water, as if he was walking in mid-air, the light and shadow disappeared for a while.

After Liang Tao left, Zhao Mi sat in the pavilion and heard Ling Xiao ask coldly, "You don't believe me?"

"Why did Shangxian make such a statement?" Zhao Mi asked back, his tone not showing any kindness.

"You told Liang Tao that you don't need a real yuan lock, you're just trying to test me." Ling Xiao said coldly, "It's just that I didn't expect that Liang Tao could provoke you and me with a few light words. Don't you think that , since Liang Tao knows that there is another fairy family behind you, he will definitely try his best to tempt and lure you, and even divide you and me."

Zhao Mi was also not polite: "Lingxiao Shangxian, Liang Guoshi wants to use me to arrange rituals, how can he tolerate me under the control of other immortal masters?"

"Do you think I'm manipulating you?" Lingxiao asked forcefully, "I understand, I'm hiding deep in your brain, are you afraid that I will take your house?"

"There is another person in the back of my mind, so it's always uncomfortable." Zhao Mi replied.

"Since that's the case, you should get back the True Yuan Lock as soon as possible." Ling Xiao said in a bad tone.

Zhao Mi said: "Zhenyuan lock, is that really just the key to open the Dongtian Immortal Mansion?"

"You doubt my identity?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Shouldn't I be suspicious?" Zhao Mi smiled wryly: "Actually, I should have thought about it a long time ago. Immortals hate dirt and filth. When I was in Bai'egong's cave, my cultivation was still superficial. Why did you want to put it in my mind?" In the palace? You can stay in the Zhenyuan lock and wait for the right person."

Lingxiao snorted coldly: "Do you think that anyone can take refuge in a body? With a higher level of cultivation, the soul will be prepared. If the True Yuan Lock falls into the hands of someone like Liang Tao, I will not be able to hide it. I have already I've been trapped in the True Yuan Lock for too long, and I don't want to drag it on any longer."

"You still haven't answered my question." Zhao Mi's tone was stiff.

"I can only say that I am not some kind of Taixu Yuanjun. If it is said that it is a title given by future generations, it is the future generations' own claim and has nothing to do with me." Lingxiao replied.

Zhao Mi was not satisfied with this answer, but Ling Xiao was unwilling to confess, and he couldn't force the question further.

……

Two days later, Zhao Mi went to visit Jiang Ru again.

Regardless of whether it is a human or a demon, if you are successful in cultivation, you will have no fear of common illnesses, but you will still be injured.

Moreover, because practitioners have strong bodies, strong bones, and vigorous viscera, the injuries they suffer are often unusual. Ordinary people can't bear it at all, and it will take more time and medical treatment to recover.

Jiang Ru was still bedridden, when she saw Zhao Mi coming, her expression was complicated, and she was a little bit sad besides joy.

"We still need to rest slowly." Zhao Mi checked Jiang Ru's pulse and said, "You will stay here in Bihu Manor for a few days, and when you get better and can see the wind and light, you will return to Difei Mountain Right. I’m leaving for Jianjia Pass later, so I’m afraid I won’t have time to visit.”

"I..." Jiang Ru couldn't hide her disappointment. She actually hoped that Zhao Mi could accompany her, but she knew very well that Zhao Mi could not stay for her own sake.

"Here is another Shenke fairy fruit." Zhao Mi put a wooden box beside him: "You don't need this thing for medical treatment right now, but after going through this experience, your cultivation base will be damaged, this Shenke fairy fruit can be used for a little bit. make up."

Jiang Ru shook her head slightly: "Shenke Xianguo is so rare, you have already used one for me, how can you give me the other one too?"

"No matter how precious it is, it must be used by others to make it look precious." Zhao Mi said: "Besides, you also know the origin of this Shenke fairy fruit. I was able to win two at the Yingzhou meeting, which was due to Liang Guoshi and other officials. I didn't put much thought into the planning of the first seat. Since it's easy to get it, it's not hard to let go of it, so you don't have to worry about me."

Hearing the words "don't worry about me", Jiang Ru's heart ached, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhao Mi just pretended not to see, looked away and said to him: "I have asked Lu Wangji, and she will go to Jianjiaguan to help. With such a master in charge, I can save a lot of worry. But This kind of person who is dedicated to cultivating immortality and enlightenment cannot rely on her to attack the city, but at least she can be used to guard against the spies and assassins of Jiuli Kingdom.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, in Huaxu's country, it seems that there are not many people whose cultivation base and mana are higher than mine.Liang Guoshi and several of the chiefs of the halls have to sit in various places in the middle school to prevent accidents, and it is inconvenient to take action before the critical moment. At my level, I have to take the initiative to shoulder the responsibilities.

When I was a child, I also fantasized about how heroic and majestic it would be if I became a general guarding the country through the path of a monk in the temple?But now that I have come to this point, there are only heavy papers that I can't keep busy, and I have to personally ask about all kinds of matters before I can handle them properly.

Proper... Well, actually it wasn't too proper. When it was my turn to do it, I felt that I couldn't stretch my hands and feet everywhere. Either there was a cry of needing to replace the armor or weapons, or there was a lack of repair materials.Just yesterday a prisoner stabbed a guard to death and fled, and today a soldier raped a civilian girl.Annoying! "

Hearing Zhao Mi's complaints, Jiang Ru couldn't help laughing, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked, "I remember you repeatedly issued orders to your own soldiers not to offend the common people, yet someone raped the women of the common people?"

"Don't mention it, it's actually some guys in Quartz City who hooked up with Chu Mengchun, in order to create momentum to force Wu Kui's army to release them, and engage in blackmail, and set up a banquet for some of my soldiers." Zhao Mi rubbed his face and said:

"Those soldiers were not vigilant enough, and they didn't resist the temptation. They followed a few singers and dancers upstairs, and a group of servants and servants rushed in halfway. The two sides quarreled, and a group of people came to me. I We can only flog those soldiers in public to calm the situation."

"Those people are dying? How dare they play against you?" Jiang Ru asked in surprise.

"The situation is a bit complicated now, and General Wei can't hold on to the children of Chongxuanguan forever." Zhao Mi sighed and said, "The battle by the Cangshui River was, after all, Master Liang himself who took action to kill the evil, and the credit is too great. , the country lord can't forcefully pursue it."

"Could it be that Chu Mengchun and the others are going to be reinstated?" Jiang Ru asked.

"How is it possible?" Zhao Mi said: "The power and position has been taken back to the imperial court, and it is impossible to return it to the Chongxuan Pavilion. Even if Chu Mengchun and others have been demoted to the common people, they are still monks in the Chongxuan Pavilion, and they can still live. Live a life of wealth and leisure."

Zhao Mi suddenly understood, with Jiang Ru's wisdom, how could she not know these things?Mingming induced himself to explain, so that he could stay for a while.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Jiang Ru asked again.

"The affairs of Quartz City are going to be handed over to the new sheriff. I don't care about it." Zhao Mi said, "There is news from Jianjia Pass that the soldiers and horses of Jiuli Kingdom have started to move. And Liang Guoshi asked me to go to Jianjia Guan sorting out the land veins, I also plan to set up formations around Jianjia Pass to defend against the enemy."

"Sort out the ground veins?" Jiang Ru was slightly surprised: "Can you do this kind of thing?"

"I once got the Immortal Scripture of Xuanpu Hall by chance, and there is a way to straighten the earth's veins. I have studied it for a while, and it should be possible to cooperate with scientific rituals and rituals and summon officials and soldiers." Zhao Mi said casually.

"Xuanpu Hall?!" Jiang Ru was startled when she heard this.

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhao Mi felt that he was a little slack in front of Jiang Ru. He shouldn't have said much about getting the Xuanpu Jade Book, but since he said it, he couldn't take it back, so he had to pretend nothing. thing.

"I... the ancestor of our Jiang family was the Lingrui Sky Fox in Xuanpu Cave." Jiang Ru said this with a hint of shyness.

"Xuanpu Dongtian?" This time it was Zhao Mi's turn to be surprised, so he asked, "Then what is your relationship with Xuanputang?"

"Our Jiang family doesn't have a deep connection with Xuanpu Hall." Jiang Ru shook his head and said, "There is a yaozhi fairy grass in Xuanpu Cave that psychically transformed into a psychic form. It was relegated to the lower world because of an accidental mortal heart. It is said that he was almost tossed around in the world. , and finally saw through the world of mortals, asked to cultivate immortals, and after creating the Xuanputang lineage in the mortal world, his merits and virtues were completed, and he ascended and returned."

"There is such a story." Zhao Mi frowned and said, "However, Xuanputang and your Jiang family have some old ties, right? Why didn't you go to Xuanputang at the beginning? Chongxuan hall?"

Jiang Ru pondered for a while, and finally made up her mind before saying, "Who do you think is expected to become a fairy in today's world?"

"I can't tell you about other countries, but the country of Huaxu must be Guoshi Liang." Zhao Mi couldn't help but said, "But do you really believe that Guoshi Liang will take you with him when he ascends? Aren’t all of you working in vain if you can attain Taoism and Ascension?”

Jiang Ru smiled lightly: "You don't understand the thoughts of our Jiang family members. Tianhu was originally enlightened as the assistant minister of the fairy family. Some things come from the inner nature and cannot be discarded at will."

"I'm meddling in my own business." Zhao Mi nodded slightly.

Jiang Ru naturally didn't care, she asked again: "Why does the chief want you to help sort out the veins of the earth?"

Zhao Shu bowed his head and said nothing, Liang Tao's Dao Kingdom in the world is extraordinary, Jiang Ru doesn't seem to understand the inside story, so it's not good for Zhao Mi to talk nonsense.

"Don't ask about some things. It's good for you not to know."

Zhao Mi seems to understand why Ling Xiao has kept a lot of secrets from him, and some things should not be said too much.Once Liang Tao's plan for the Dao Kingdom in the world is made public, there will be great chaos in Hua Xu's country immediately, and Zhao Mi himself will definitely be involved in it, unable to extricate himself.The more you know at that time, the more dangerous it will be.

And when Zhao Mi's scientific rituals are gradually arranged and Liang Tao really makes a move, it will be the moment of real chaos. At that time, can Zhao Mi get back the Zhenyuan lock safely?
