Kunlun one millet

Chapter 192

Zhao Shu lightly rubbed his palms, which was different from his teacher Zhang Duanjing's earnest teachings and Ling Xiao's timely instructions. His grandfather Zhao Wei's teaching of rituals and rituals was very strict.Zhao Mi has been reciting various scriptures almost as long as he can remember, copying them all year round, and practicing calligraphy and calligraphy since childhood, even holding a pen to practice calligraphy late at night in the cold winter without a brazier for warmth.

"It's no wonder that the Huaiying Pavilion failed to revive the inheritance of the praise officer." Liang Tao said.

"What you said is that the rituals and rituals are known for their rigor and difficulty. If you don't work hard to learn, how can you achieve anything?" Zhao Mi fiddled with the books: "I didn't like to study these big tomes when I was young. My grandfather would definitely know when he went out. Playing around, waiting for him to come back to test his homework in school, he will inevitably be beaten severely.

But when he grows up, his cultivation gradually increases, and the arrangement of the rituals and rituals is used, he can understand the painstaking efforts of his grandfather.If I hadn't worked hard when I was a child, I was destined to be like everyone else, and I wouldn't let the master of the country look at me. "

"A lot of things can't all be achieved by working hard." Liang Tao said indifferently: "Some people are stubborn and stubborn, even if they are beaten with a whip, they may not make much progress."

Zhao Mi squatted on the ground and shrugged his shoulders: "Everyone has different aspirations and endowments, and some things can't be done by force. Even if it is a ritual ceremony, it is not necessary for the person who studies it to master all the ritual subjects. I just hope that I can make Some changes."

"What change?" Liang Tao asked curiously.

"Huaxu Kingdom's current promotion of talismans is judged based on the accumulation of merit, which inevitably opens the door for some aristocratic nobles, so that some people with shallow cultivation and insufficient merit can also be awarded high-grade pilgrimages. , so that they can be reused." Zhao Mi shook his head and said, "How can we lightly teach the laws and talismans that are so solemn? Such reckless actions will not only make the laws and talismans dusty, but also not conducive to the country's selection of talents and entrusting them with important responsibilities."

Liang Tao immediately understood after hearing the words: "Are you planning to modify the system of talismans?"

"Your human Taoist country will always need people to work in the future, right? Can't you just hire people you know well?" Zhao Mi said, "I think, how do you evaluate a person's ability to be appointed? Since the human Taoist country requires Based on the disciplines of rituals and rituals, the latitude and longitude of the disciplines, the scholars who conferred the scriptures in the future must also study the rituals and rituals.

As small as exorcising evil and curing diseases, subduing demons and ghosts, as large as repelling plagues and disasters, and summoning generals to defeat enemies, whether these scientific rituals are effective or not can measure a person's talent.I plan to compare the existing talismans and compile the corresponding ritual subjects. Only those who can study successfully and use them freely can be allowed to be promoted. "

Liang Tao was silent for a moment, looking at Zhao Mi with a little more admiration, but his tone remained calm: "How did you come up with this idea?"

"My grandfather won't talk about it. I used to be in the Huaiying Pavilion. I had to take the school's homework exams every month. If you study hard, you can try it out immediately." Difficulty and depth are listed in a general order. School examinations are conducted before the promotion of the Lupin. In this way, everyone's level is clear at a glance, and the matter of favoritism is cut off. It can also make the world understand who is worthy of the big responsibility and who needs to be tempered. So as not to let incompetent people steal high positions and enjoy their success."

Liang Tao said, "But not everyone knows how to study rituals and rituals."

"I know." Zhao Mi nodded: "But I can't think of a better way for a while."

"You are proficient in scientific rituals and rituals, so of course you can only think of these." Liang Tao smiled and said, "But what if the subject examination is not limited to rituals? It's like the alchemy in Chongxuan Hall has nine tripods and nine turns, which can be measured by one person Isn't it a good idea for you to set up a selection in the Jinding Division?"

Zhao Mi remained silent, and Liang Tao continued, "Is this your idea to set up subjects to select scholars, restrain the nobles, and control the elites?"

"It's better to select people with real talents and real learning than relying on family background and family status, and at the critical moment, it will be unbearable and bring disaster to the country and the people." Zhao Mi said with a straight face.

Liang Tao said with a smile: "But have you ever thought that those who can master scientific rituals and practice magic arts are often rich in family fortune. Maybe in the end, a group of rich and powerful families will control everyone."

Zhao Mi's expression was a little dignified, so he could only say: "Some things don't happen overnight, and I don't expect that the method I thought of on the spur of the moment can completely change the morals of the world. What's more, if you really want to set up a department to select scholars, it will be of great benefit to your Dao Kingdom on earth. Benefits. You don’t want to be run by a group of incompetent people who can only use power to make money in the future, do you?”

Liang Tao thought of Chu Fenggui, nodded and said, "That's fine."

Seeing that Liang Tao agreed, Zhao Mi breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also worried that Liang Tao would not tolerate this arrangement.

"Since you are here, I happen to have something to do." Zhao Mi said, "The lord of the country ordered mandalas to be set up in various parts of the country, and I will take the lead in choosing the specific locations. Many blessed places of spiritual acupoints are under the control of your Chongxuan Hall. How do I get in and out of it?"

"I have already prepared my disciples, as long as you go, no one will obstruct you." Liang Tao said.

"It's that simple?" Zhao Mi was quite surprised: "Will this make people suspicious?"

"Recently, I will claim to the outside world that I want to retreat and cleanse myself." Liang Tao said: "As long as I don't show up, the people below will have no backing."

Zhao Mi nodded silently. The lord of the country issued a decree to set up a large number of altars and revise the rituals, which is no less than the establishment of the system of halls in the Huaxu Kingdom.This matter is comparable to starting a new stove, once successful, it will be enough to completely shake the foundation of Chongxuan Hall.

Logically speaking, everyone in the Chongxuan Pavilion should be looking forward to Liang Tao's coming forward to stop it.But at the moment when he is "retreating", the Chongxuan Hall seems to have lost its pillars, the hearts of the people will be disorganized, and the arrogance will be greatly weakened.

However, if many high-ranking officials, big and small officials who were originally attached to Chongxuan Pavilion found that Chongxuan Pavilion had lost its previous status, they would immediately look for other objects to cling to.

This situation happened as early as Zhao Mi left Jianjia Pass. Many local officials who had a close relationship with the children of Chongxuanguan tried their best to please Zhao Mi and greeted him with generous gifts on the way back to the court.

What Liang Tao did was actually to allow Zhao Mi to arrange rituals in Huaxu's country without hindrance. Liang Tao's trust was more useful than the will of the country's lord.

"And this thing." Liang Tao took out a map, and after Zhao Mi took it, he found that its material was similar to silk, light and tough.

Expanding the map and looking at it for a while, it is not surprising to see the mountains and rivers of Huaxu Kingdom, but using the Yingxuan lighting technique, you can find the trend of the earth veins and the movement of the air mechanism hidden in the map, like an extremely complicated and profound talisman.

"Is this the map of the land veins of the entire Huaxu Kingdom?" Zhao Mi was shocked. Even in the Zanliguan collection of their Zhao family, there was no record of such a complete map of the land veins.

Liang Tao said with a smile: "This is Fang Yu's extremely true map, which is connected with the Huaxu country's land veins. Every time you go to a mandala to practice the law, use this map to drive the cave sky, cloud seal, and refine the form, and penetrate the land veins of all places. , the flow of the merging qi machine will be unimpeded. With this picture in hand, it is comparable to the edict of the myriad gods. If you encounter evil spirits or evil spirits in the altar, you can kill them at will, there is no taboo."

Zhao Mi understands that this Fang Yu Jizhentu is related to Liang Tao's grand plan and great wish, and being able to show it to Zhao Mi is a great trust in himself.

"What are your plans for the future, let me tell you." Liang Tao found a chair and sat down casually.

Looking at the talisman diagram, Zhao Mi was fascinated. He moved his fingertips along the land veins and said, "If you want to penetrate each branch of the land veins, you must open an altar at the place where the Qi and Qi converge. The north and south mountains of Huaxu Kingdom are as high as Supporting the pillars of the sky, the river flows eastward, like a hundred qi returning to their ancestors, and the blessed land near the East China Sea is like a human body passing through the sea of ​​vitality."

"Difei Mountain breathes out the fresh air, rests on the sea and land, and is naturally the ancestor of Fang Yu's hundred qi." Liang Tao said.

Zhao Mi glanced at Dongdong Shengdu in the map, and suddenly thought of Yingzhou Island in the north of the city, but didn't say much.

"Are you planning to start from the north and the south?" Liang Tao asked.

"That's right." Zhao Mi raised his hand and drew a few strokes: "Shannan and water are Yang in the north, and mountains in the north and water in the south are Yin. In the entire Huaxu Kingdom, the territory layout of North Yang and South Yin is arranged. However, the juxtaposition of Yin and Yang lacks the power of transformation. It is necessary to separate the opposite mandala in the north and the south, so as to create a trend of mutual storage of yin and yang, and mutual assistance of yin and yang, so that the flow of energy can be endless."

Liang Tao couldn't help but nodded with a smile. It took him many years to deduce the way, and Zhao Shu could figure it out as soon as he saw Fang Yujizhentu. Should it be said that he has a specialization in art, or is Zhao Shu so deeply in my heart?
"Where is the north-south separation mandala to be located?" Liang Tao asked again.

"I've already chosen the north side." Zhao Mi clicked on the map: "Bai Egong Dongfu."

Liang Tao was slightly taken aback, Zhao Mi continued to observe, his face was almost pasted with a map, the other hand was still calculating quickly, chanting words, all kinds of calculation formulas.

"To the south... where is this Lingtai Ruins?" Zhao Mi felt a little familiar.

Liang Tao said: "It was the sect dojo of Xuanputang back then."

Zhao Mi's heart tightened, but a puzzled expression appeared on his face: "Xuanputang? In my impression, it was a sect that was good at cultivating zhicao elixir, and it was exterminated decades ago."

"At that time, there was a Qiongyu fire jujube plant in Xuanputang. It is rumored that it was planted by the immortal family. It bears fruit once in sixty years. Ordinary people take it and can get rid of nine insects. If you take it at home, it can relieve the knots of twins and make bones easy. The effect of marrow." Liang Tao smiled: "You must have heard that the so-called hand-planted by immortals may not be true. This Qiongyu fire jujube is similar to Langgan Shenke on Yingzhou Island. Transformed.

Such treasures from the fairy family will inevitably attract evil spirits to spy on them. Since the troubled times at the end of Tianxia, ​​countless evil spirits have harassed the Xuanpu Hall in Lingtai Ruins several times. In the end, the ashram was breached, the disciples suffered heavy casualties, and the zhicao in the Lingyuan was swept away. "

Zhao Mi had already learned about these things from the Marquis of Anyang, and he asked without changing his face, "What about Qiongyu Huozao?"

Liang Tao shook his head: "It has withered a long time ago. When I took people to the rescue, I found that the tree had no flowers and leaves, only the branches, lifeless."

"So you took advantage of the opportunity to occupy his dojo?" Zhao Mi laughed.

Liang Tao said indifferently: "The disciples of Xuanpu Hall can't defend the sect dojo, who is to blame?"

"That's right, that's right, Master Guoshi is the most reasonable, so he won't rob him by force!" Zhao Mi was annoyed.

Liang Tao smiled and kicked Zhao Mi: "Fuck you! Hurry up and work!"

"Bai'egong Cave Mansion and Lingtai Ruins are transformation points, but the pillars of the north and south poles are more important." Zhao Mi continued to stare at Fang Yujizhentu: "Needless to say, the Antarctic Pillar is the Jiaofa Cave. I think you have sent People have guarded there. As for the North Pole, it should be on Mount Panlong, but it is related to Lord Hengbi, he was born as a fairy general in your Chongxuan Pavilion, so he may not listen to me."

When Zhao Mi said this, he deliberately disregarded his relationship with Duke Hengbi, so as not to make Liang Tao suspicious.

"Don't worry, I'll go and tell him in person." Liang Tao waved his hand casually: "That Mr. Hengbi is just a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard. But as long as you stroke his hair, you can use him. You hold Fang If you use Jizhentu, he will understand your identity, so don't worry about it."

Zhao Mi blinked in surprise. He didn't say anything, but he was keenly aware that something had changed in Liang Tao.Especially his attitude towards himself is not as condescending as in the past, just like staring at the fish on the chopping board, he always has a picky attitude.

This kind of intimacy made Zhao Shu's heart pound. He couldn't tell whether Liang Tao was pretending to test himself, or showing his true temperament.

"After talking about the territory, there is still the heaven and earth." Zhao Mi exhaled lightly: "Even if you don't want to be the chief priest, but my rituals and rituals are based on the heaven and the earth as the disk, and the merits of the heaven and the latitude. This Fang Yu Jizhen map can As a summary of the land, that day the land is to collect and refine the star energy, and then it can be achieved by drawing the dharma veins of the cave."

"Oh, no wonder you are studying the stars." Liang Tao saw the "Hundred Stars Gongji Theory" at Zhao Mi's hand.

Zhao Mi scratched his head and said, "I have been watching the stars at night recently, and found that the positions of some stars are different from those recorded by the predecessors. But the arrangement of the celestial disk cannot be done by myself."

Liang Tao immediately understood: "It seems that I want to do it myself?"

"There is no need to worry about the layout of the sky, at least I have to wait for the north and south poles to be fixed." Zhao Mi said, "After the layout of the sky and the earth is completed, you will go to the main altar of the Qishu and redefine the rules and regulations."

"Okay, very good." Liang Tao was very satisfied in his heart: "It is worthy of being the successor of the official, who came up with a rough plan so quickly."

"These are all big words, anyone can say them." Zhao Mi said, "However, there is no earth-shattering achievement in arranging the mandala in various parts of the Huaxu Kingdom. "

Liang Tao patted his thigh and smiled, "Who do you think I am? A foolish king who sends you an imperial edict every day?"

Zhao Mi didn't know what to say for a while, Liang Tao dusted off his clothes and got up: "But you have to understand, I won't urge you, the king in the palace won't let you squat in Dongsheng all the time and write a book. "

After saying this, Liang Tao left in a hurry.Zhao Mi looked at the Jizhen map of Fang Yu in his hand, and Ling Xiao said, "Liang Tao has changed."

"I can see it too." Zhao Mi said, "For an expert like him, his temperament should not change suddenly."

"Maybe it's because Liang Tao's cultivation has improved."

Zhao Mi just felt unbelievable: "With his cultivation level, can he still improve at any time?"

"At Liang Tao's level, the improvement of cultivation is no longer simply accumulated over time." Ling Xiao said: "Sometimes stagnation for decades may be an inconspicuous little thing, let him look back , so accumulated and thin, suddenly enlightened, and go further."
