Kunlun one millet

Chapter 145

"Marquis Zhenming, all the spiritual materials you need have been delivered."

Standing in the mansion courtyard, Zhao Mi opened boxes and boxes and counted them one by one. Among them were the spiritual materials that Zhao Mi asked Liang Tao for, but unexpectedly, the other party actually sent them to him.

"The number is not bad." Zhao Mi nodded, looking at the cultivator of Chongxuan Hall who was wearing a brocade robe with black and yellow ribbons hanging from his waist.

"My friend's name is Liang Hui?" Zhao Mi asked, "I don't know what is the relationship with Liang Shuo in your house?"

"Liang Shuo is my next cousin." Liang Hui said.

"Master National Teacher is Ling Zu?" Zhao Mi was curious for a moment, the other party did not have Liang Tao's majesty with eagle brows and falcon eyes, nor Liang Shuo's femininity like a good-looking woman, but the description seemed...too ordinary.

"I'm ashamed, my cultivation base is superficial, I disappointed my father and grandfather, and made Marquis Zhenming laugh at me." Liang Hui bowed and bowed.

"The strings and darkness of the new moon refer to the changes in the moon's phases. Cultivators use the moon phases to comprehend the changes in the ups and downs of the weather mechanism of the week." Zhao Mi said: "In the study of the yellow and white of the Wai Dan, there is a theory of the moon furnace, which is not true. Refers to, but uses the subtlety of the use of water and fire to make Danhua circle back and condense together.

When installing a furnace and setting up a tripod, all generations must measure the weather according to the time and season, calculate the weather, separate the number of spells, and the rules of the baht line.However, Grandmaster Waidan has an insight into the qi of heaven and earth, and understands the symptoms of yin and yang, cold and heat, and the shape of profit and loss in life and death.If I'm not mistaken, your name should be bestowed by the National Teacher. "

Zhao Mi broke out a Waidan speech technique, which made Liang Hui's eyes shine slightly.Zhao Mi had long noticed the lingering fire lingering in him, presumably it was because he spent many years serving the fire beside the cauldron.

Since the establishment of the Chongxuan Pavilion in the Tianxia Dynasty, it has been inherited by the Qingya True Monarch. There are many disciples who have studied Waidan intensively, and there are very few people who are as powerful and powerful in fighting skills as Liang Tao.

Compared with other cultivators in Chongxuan Pavilion, this Liang Hui didn't have that tiresome arrogance, and his words and deeds were somewhat cautious. He probably wasn't as popular as the eldest son Liang Shuo in Chongxuan Pavilion.

"It's just as Marquis Zhenming said." After Liang Hui answered, he turned around and took out a pot of flowers from the wooden box.

"What is this?" Zhao Mi looked around, it was a pot of orchids growing in a strange way, lonely and calm, unconventional and elegant.

"This is a gift given to the Marquis of Zhenming by the order of the first seat." Liang Hui replied.

Zhao Mi looked carefully, and found that each orchid had four flowers in different shapes.Among them, the topmost flower blooms freely, which seems to have the meaning of climbing to the sky and holding high in the sky. The two prime ministers on the left and right are swaying with the wind, and the bottom one is drooping and sluggish, with no vitality.

"What does Master Guoshi mean?" Zhao Mi stared at the pot of orchids and asked, "Does he have anything else to say?"

"The first seat is for Marquis Zhenming to dispose of on his own, so I don't have much to say."

Zhao Mi remained silent, Liang Tao asked his grandson to send such a pot of orchids, just to test his attitude.A plant with four flowers blooms in different ways, which should be an allusion to the Chongxuanguan immortal family with the four surnames Xueyin.

"If you have something to say, you don't want to say it directly, but you want to engage in guessing riddles." Zhao Mi didn't know what Liang Tao was going to do, but considering that the Wukui army swept up the immortal children in several counties in the south, Chongxuan Hall must have suffered a major blow.

But now Liang Tao is in a very delicate situation. The ghosts and spirits who colluded with the Chongxuan Pavilion in private were finally punished by Liang Tao himself. The altar can be forcibly changed in any way.

The king wants to take this opportunity to liquidate the disciples of Chongxuan Hall, but it is impossible to ignore the contribution of Liang Tao, the master of the state.

And even if Zhao Mi is not in Dongsheng Capital at the moment, he knows very well that there must be another violent turmoil in the court, and the immortal family hopes that Liang Tao will personally protect his children.

If it was just to save the lives of Chu Mengchun and others, it would not be difficult.But what the lord wants to do this time is probably to completely cut off the control of the Chongxuan Pavilion over the local government, and completely transfer the power of appointment and removal of officials to the hands of the lord, and no longer be controlled by the Chongxuan Pavilion.

Today's Chongxuan Pavilion is no longer just a simple cultivation hall and Jingshi in the mountains. Its disciples are all over the government and the public, and there is a living fairy family like Liang Tao to support it. Gather anger.

Zhao Mi sometimes wondered, in the eyes of ordinary people, who is more hateful, the children of Chongxuan Hall or the evil priests?
"The flower is a beautiful flower, but it's a pity that it lacks maintenance and pruning." Zhao Mi suddenly laughed: "Since it is a gift from the master of the state, I can't just sit back and watch it wither and wither."

After saying that, Zhao Mi picked up the Qingxuan brush, concentrating a trace of golden evil, as if holding a short blade, and gently cut off the three flowers, leaving only the topmost blooming and most prosperous one.Looking at the three remaining flowers in his hand, Zhao Mi buried them in the pot.

"If Master Guoshi asks about it in the future, it will be good for fellow daoist to reply truthfully." Zhao Mi said, "Let fellow daoist take care of this potted flower for me."

"I will remember." Liang Hui slightly bowed, and then took out a scroll from his bosom: "The first one has something to say, he set up a ban on throwing amulets at Jianjia Pass back then, fearing that the Marquis of Ming Dynasty would not be able to understand the mystery, so he sent me Send this "Nine Heavens Ziwen Danzhang", please Zhenming Hou read it."

Zhao Shu raised his brows slightly, took the scroll with the purple brocade as the base and the white jade as the pillar, and after slowly unfolding it, he saw that the inside was covered with small seal scripts, swimming and circling like living creatures on the scroll, which was hard to grasp for a while. Take a peek at the whole picture.

"Thank you, Master Guoshi." Zhao Mi put away the scroll, Liang Tao was really generous sometimes, and he gave away these talisman scriptures as soon as he said they would.

And judging from the name, this fairy scripture may be closely related to the "Nine Heavens Feixuan Ziqi Zhenwen Baolu" in Chongxuan Pavilion, so it should not be allowed to be circulated.

No matter how you look at it, Zhao Mi is now one foot on Liang Tao's thief ship, and to accept this benefit, naturally he has to pay something.

"I heard that you want to stay?" Zhao Mi asked again: "Now that the war outside the pass has started, the city is not safe."

Liang Hui nodded and replied: "The chief said, let me come to assist Zhenminghou. It's just that my skills are mediocre, so I'm afraid I can't help you on the battlefield."

"It's okay, Jinding Division is also in urgent need of manpower." Zhao Mi took a talisman and handed it to the other party: "With this, fellow daoists can enter and leave Jinding Division. I will take you to meet other fellow daoists by the way."

Zhao Mi led Liang Hui to the branch of Jinding Division. Now Zheng Siyuan is mainly in charge here, and Jing Shi also came here to help.After briefly introducing the situation in the courtyard, Zhao Shu immediately arranged for Liang Hui to participate in the refining of pills and medicine powder.

When Zhao Shu returned to the mansion, he happened to see General Wei talking with several captains.

"Marquis Zhenming, you came just in time!" General Wei pointed to the map beside him, "Sure enough, as you said before, there are indeed soldiers and horses from the Jiuli Kingdom stationed near Honghuatan!"

"How many people?" Zhao Mi asked.

"I don't know yet, but after fighting for a while, it should be less than three thousand." General Wei said, "I just received the news that our soldiers and horses are confronting the Nanmanzi across the river, and they can't hold on. What do you think?"

Zhao Mi said: "I recently summoned the officials and soldiers from the altar to try to explore the Red Flower Pond. But I found that the surrounding area was covered by magic, and ghosts and spirits could not get close to spy. This is probably unusual. I suspect it is Jiuli. It would be best if the state witch wished to interrupt the ritual."

"I also have the same idea." General Wei said: "At present, there are not many soldiers confronting the enemy army. I plan to personally lead the army to support them, and kill them directly with the overwhelming momentum of the mountain."

Joining the army next to him said: "What if this is a barbarian's strategy to lure the enemy? Abandoning the fortified city and not defending it, and attacking rashly, I may be inappropriate."

General Wei knocked on the map and said: "Jianjiaguan is not Xingluo County, and there is no natural barrier of Panlong Mountain. These days I sent a large number of scouts to find out the path in the mountain, and found that in addition to the Guancheng road, there are many small paths that can bypass Jianjiaguan and go to the north. , it is not appropriate to shrink back and defend the city, but it gives up room for maneuver.

What's more, there are many settlements and villages outside the pass, I have contacted several of them, trying my best to persuade them to submit to the Huaxu country, as a place for our army to set up camp in the mountains.Most of these settlements and villages are located in the main throats, we must take them down before the Jiuli Kingdom. "

Zhao Mi nodded secretly, and General Wei said to him: "Marquis Zhenming, I am leading troops this time, and I hope you can stay and guard Jianjia Pass."

Zhao Mi hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "I will definitely live up to the general's trust!"

General Wei said: "As for the food, grass and military supplies, etc., I will trouble Marquis Zhenming to pay more attention."

"Understood!" Zhao Mi suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Although General Wei was going to lead his troops out of the pass, he also left a group of soldiers Cao Zuo to assist Zhao Mi. After finishing the order, Zhao Mi went up to the tower, watched the army go away, and pondered for a long time.

But the current situation does not allow Zhao Mi to think wildly. Even though General Wei has made arrangements in advance, he still records the daily affairs of Jianjia Guanzhong, so as to keep his duties in mind. According to their responsibilities, they will count food, fodder and military weapons, patrol the city defense posts, and recruit soldiers for drills and training.

It wasn't until late at night when everyone was resting that Zhao Mi personally led people to patrol the city wall, and only had a moment of free time when he returned to the mansion.

With Zhao Mi's current cultivation level, he doesn't need to be lethargic like ordinary people, as long as he sits quietly, adjusts his breath and concentrates for an hour or two, it is enough to maintain his spirit.

It's just that he is busy with official duties and entangled in mundane affairs, and he is already busy. If an ordinary person has endured a lot, he would describe him as haggard and premature.

Although Zhao Mi was healthy, he felt restless when he was free.

"Your Xuanzhu has already ascended to the Crimson Palace. The next step is naturally to pass through the throat of the Chonglou and go straight into the Niwan." Ling Xiao noticed that Zhao Mi was fidgeting, and he couldn't look at it for long while holding the scroll of the fairy scriptures, so he said: "The Chonglou The first pass is the most dangerous, and the Xuanzhu cannot stay here, it has to go all out. And the throat is the key to the movement of qi, before and after the Xuanzhu passes the pass, it is easy to be infected with external evil and miscellaneous qi, which will stir up internal disturbances."

Zhao Mi took the scroll and tapped his forehead: "I read in the book that the internal disturbances that monks encounter when they enter the country are mostly all kinds of illusions, such as haunted by evil spirits, who want to take their lives, or who are beautiful and close, who want to have sex with each other, or who are aggravated by wind and fire. The body and soul are restless, and often when the illusion arrives, it is difficult to keep quiet, and if one is not careful, the energy channels will be disordered, and the years of cultivation will be ruined."

"Everyone has different circumstances and different temperaments, so the experience of internal disturbances is naturally very different." Lingxiao explained: "The so-called illusion is nothing more than the Xuanzhu ascending into the Niwan Palace with true energy, the energy rushes into the brain palace, and the five senses are shaken. Thus perceive illusions.

But you also practice the Nine Palaces and one method, and your spirit lingers outside the Niwan Palace, and the traces of true energy float up.This energy mechanism is not enough to lift the mysterious pearl up, but it arouses your idle thoughts.There were signs when you were by Jiang Ru's side, but now the internal disturbance is even worse. "

"I also have feelings, so I plan to stay away from Jiang Ru and try to calm my mind." Zhao Mi sighed: "It's a pity that the fault is on my own body. Can you help me calm down the internal disturbance?"

"An Ding? That's ridiculous!" Ling Xiao said unceremoniously, "If you plan to stop here, you will naturally be disturbed by An Ding."

Zhao Mi was taken aback for a moment, the most taboo of Xuanzhu's cultivation during this period of promotion is to be slack and stagnant, and with his current state of mind, of course he would not do this.

"It's just such a time." Zhao Mi sighed softly, "I'm most worried about a big fight, and internal disturbance and illusion."

Zhao Mi was waiting for Lingxiao to speak, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? I still expect you to teach me."

"I originally thought that you, the Marquis of Zhenming, really lived up to your name, like the sun and the moon shining, always shining brightly, so where do you need others to point you to?" Lingxiao sarcastically sarcastically.

"Zhenming, Zhenming, this name has misunderstood me." Zhao Mi sighed, "The deeper I cultivate, the wider my magic power is. Looking at the world, the filthy things are as high as the mountains, and the evil emotions are as deep as the sea. How can there be any light? ?”

Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, and said: "If there is no light, how can you see things? If there is no light, there should be darkness in front of you."

If someone else said such things, Zhao Mi would probably think that the other party was talking about it, but Ling Xiao seemed to want to point out, so Zhao Mi had no choice but to ask: "Please also ask the immortal to give advice."

"You can see the filth and evil in the world, and the evil in the world, not because of anything else, but because you are shining brightly." Lingxiao said: "I understand why you agree with Chi Yundu."

Zhao Mi was distracted and did not answer, Ling Xiao said: "But I want to advise you, you regard yourself as a wick, intending to burn yourself and illuminate the world, but others may not appreciate it, they just regard you as a warming lamp." Firewood, when you run out of oil and lamps, they will abandon you like scraps of paper.

In the face of power, your mentality is destined to be used by others.As far as I can see, both Liang Tao and the Huaxu king have used you to their heart's content. Even if you want to sacrifice yourself for others, you must first see the situation clearly.Throughout the ages, there have been many foolish and reckless people like you, who have nothing to redeem except for leaving a few lines for the history of future generations. "

"Shangxian Lingxiao, I don't agree with what you said." Zhao Mi was not angry, but responded calmly and calmly: "I don't deny that tactful contingency is really useful, but if you don't have a little persistence in your life, it's like being in a torrent There is no place to stand. Drift with the flow, and will only be swallowed by the torrent in the end."

"Mediocre people are like fish, so naturally they can only go with the flow." Ling Xiao said: "And you have enthusiasm, and you try to find a foothold in the torrent of the world, but it will be difficult for you to last long. Soaring into the sky, no longer ups and downs, why can't you figure it out?"

Zhao Mi had no choice but to answer: "The dragons fly to the sky, but there are only a few of them, and the fish are still in the rough waves."
