Kunlun one millet

Chapter 203 Cangyan Tells the Past

Standing on the surface of the water, Zhao Mi held up a piece of apricot-yellow silk with both hands, and prayed silently to the sky. His true energy formed purple inscriptions, which swirled up and down all over his body, as if linking subtle laws that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.

The Xuanzhu movement in the Niwan Palace, Zhao Shuxiang gave birth to round light, Ziwen Danzhang turned into a cloud ladder, reaching up to the cave, and the mighty clear air poured down, making the apricot yellow silk and silk quietly turn into a ray of brilliance, which disappeared without a trace.

After performing the ritual, there was a burst of waves in the lake under his feet, and then he saw the broad back shell of Cangyan Gong breaking through the water, and an island seemed to rise out of thin air in the Huansha Pond.

Lord Cangyan let out a sigh of relief, and the large ball of water atomized into a little bit of rain and snow.

"Thousands of years, living in seclusion and guarding the abyss silently!" Cang Yangong sighed: "I really didn't expect that the old man will have a day when he will be released!"

"Although the restriction is lifted, seniors must be cautious in their actions in the future." Zhao Mi said solemnly: "Thousands of years have passed, and most of the past grievances have subsided. But since I presided over the unblocking, if seniors cause troubles and invade people and things in the future This move is for me to take responsibility for it.”

Lord Cangyan understood: "If the old man really invades people and harms things, please ask the Marquis of Zhenming to kill him!"

"Okay, I trust senior." Zhao Mi nodded heavily.

"Could it be that Marquis Zhenming is also the descendant of Qingya Zhenjun's disciple?" Duke Cangyan asked suddenly: "Old man just watched you use the spells, and your spirit reaches the heavens. There is no right to lift the restriction."

"It's roughly considered." Zhao Mi practiced the "Nine Heavens Ziwen Danzhang" condensed by Liang Tao, but more importantly, the pattern of altars in various parts of Huaxu Kingdom is gradually spreading, and the true shape of the earth's veins is connected with the fairyland of the cave. Getting closer.

Zhao Mi's practice of lifting the restriction just now was actually an attempt to link up with the Qingya Wonderland.Logically speaking, the restriction on sealing Duke Cangyan was set by True Lord Qingya, and whether or not the restriction can be lifted can only be decided by True Lord Qingya.

But now the real ruler of the cave is Liang Tao, and Zhao Mi never reveals in front of him that he already knows about the real monarch's fall, so the one who allowed to lift the restriction just now is Liang Tao himself.

The fact that the restriction can be lifted proves many things in itself.One is that Liang Tao can indeed control the cave, and all the powers left by True Monarch Qingya are under his control; the other is that Liang Tao has become the master of "Nine Heavens Feixuan Ziqi Zhenwen Baolu", and he also recognizes that Zhao Millet's position in the dharma vein.

"However, regarding the inheritance of my dharma lineage, please keep it a secret for me, senior." Zhao Mi added that at the moment he doesn't want too many people to know about his relationship with Liang Tao. No one else was allowed to follow, only Lu Wangji stood by the lake.

"The old man understands." Cangyan Gong then asked again: "But apart from Qingya Zhenjun's lineage, the old man found that you, Marquis Zhenming, seem to be carrying the inheritance of another family."

Knowing what the other party said, Zhao Mi sacrificed the token of Shenhu, so that the mighty tiger general would appear beside him: "Did you mean Lord Baie?"

"He with a white forehead..." Cangyan Lord sighed when he saw the mighty tiger general, "It seems that he should take a step ahead."

Zhao Mi said: "Bai'e Gong's cave is hundreds of miles away from here. He has long since been dissolved, and no remains of the slough remain. I was lucky enough to get a bit of Bai'e Gong's inheritance."

"I waited for the monster to be born in the mountains and swamps, drifting life and death, and I have awakened a long time ago." Cangyan Gong said with a bit of frustration: "Back then, this old man made good friends with two Taoist friends, Bai forehead and Huang Zong, and one of Huang Zong's juniors died in the Shang Dynasty. Jing Zong was besieged and killed, so he invited us to attack Tiancheng Mountain with a group of colleagues, intending to seek justice."

It sounds strange that a group of monsters attacked Xiuxian sect to seek justice.Zhao Mi said: "Although I don't know the situation at that time, but those who want to come to help out, there should be some people who take advantage of the fire to loot and plot evil."

Lord Cangyan nodded his farmhouse-sized head: "That's true. Thinking back now, even the death of that junior, Fellow Daoist Huangmane, was calculated by a conspiracy."

"Oh?" Zhao Mi asked curiously, "I don't know what happened back then?"

"Marquis Zhenming, have you ever heard of the Golden Eyed Demon King?" Seeing Zhao Mi nodding, Cangyan Gong continued: "Back then, the Golden Eyed Demon King sent letters to the hills of Kunlun Continent, intending to dominate the group of demons. However, this move violated all sects of the Immortal Dao. , There are even heretics who provoke each other, causing each other to attack each other endlessly.

The old man, the white forehead, and the yellow mane all admired the way of immortality, and they didn't want to be those monsters in the mountains, so they tried to mediate the dispute.However, things backfired, the junior monsters who followed us were impulsive, and fought with the disciples of the immortal family, causing mutual casualties.When we went to Tiancheng Mountain to question the whole story, Shang Jingzong claimed that he had never made a move.

In the beginning, the rhetoric from both sides was fierce, but it was not to the point where swords were drawn.But later, for unknown reasons, Shangjingzong's back mountain was suddenly attacked, and the Jixian bell used as a warning resounded all over the place. No matter how difficult it was for the two sides to negotiate, it immediately turned into a fierce battle.Shangjing Sect has a large formation to protect the mountain, we soon fell into a disadvantage, fellow Taoist Huang Mane died on the spot, the old man and Bai forehead had to flee in a hurry. "

Zhao Mi thought about it and said, "The attack on the back mountain of Shangjingzong sounds like someone is deliberately stirring up conflicts between the two sides, so as to prevent the possibility of peace talks between you."

Cang Yangong said: "I only figured it out later, but it was a pity that the situation was chaotic at that time. After the old man and Bai E escaped from Tiancheng Mountain, all the way to the east, we were constantly blocked and besieged by various sects of cultivators. We didn't allow us to breathe and think about it."

"This way...why does it sound like someone used you to set up a situation with Shangjingzong?" Zhao Mi said: "If you lose, you will chase and intercept them all the way. If Shangjingzong loses, it will probably be a catastrophe. No matter what How, the conflict between the monsters is more prosperous."

"Marquis Zhenming has far-reaching thoughts, and he can think of these just by listening to the old man." Cangyan Gong said: "It's a pity that the old man didn't expect such treacherous calculations back then. situation?"

"Thousands of years have passed, and most of the people involved in the incident are no longer in the world." Zhao Mi said, "But I see that the senior is not alive enough. Could it be that the injuries from the past have not healed yet?"

Lord Cangyan replied: "Although the old man has lived in the world for thousands of years, most of the time he sleeps like a tortoise, but he hides his vitality and prolongs his life. The foundation was shaken by the injury back then, and now he can't even transform into a human form."

"Senior, you might as well rest and recuperate in this Huansha Pond." Zhao Mi said.

"That's fine." Duke Cangyan suddenly thought of something: "There is one more thing. Among the people who fought with you earlier, there seems to be members of the Shangjing Sect. Could it be that this sect has been passed down to this day?"

Zhao Mi was surprised when he heard the words: "Indeed, the Shangjing Sect is the authentic sect of immortality in Kunlun Zhongtu, and it is more prosperous than before. I don't know who the senior is talking about?"

"It's the imperial envoy Baozhu and Yunfa Rainbow Light." Cangyan Gong said, "If the old man is not mistaken, that person should practice the fundamental immortal method of the Shangjing Sect—"Sanguang Zhenzhi"."

"Shangjing Sanguang, harvesting the sun's rainbow?" Zhao Mi suddenly thought at this time: "No wonder the aura is pure and uncomplicated, and the magic weapon is also exquisite and unique. It seems that he must be a member of the Shangjing sect, but why? Accepted by Wang Zhongding?"

"I don't know about this." Cang Yangong sank slowly.

"Senior, take a good rest. I will issue an official document to tell the nearby fishermen not to come to the center of the lake to disturb senior." Zhao Mi bid farewell.

Leaving Huansha Pond and returning to the Green Pearl Garden, the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court were busy checking and counting. When everyone saw Zhao Mi, they all stopped to salute.Those officials who were still shouting for orders at the last moment fell silent when they saw Zhao Mi.

"Is he the Marquis of Zhenming?" A young clerk who had just arrived asked his colleagues, looked at Zhao Mi, and muttered, "It's also an ordinary appearance. I heard all kinds of rumors before, and I thought it was someone who killed people without blinking an eye." wicked people."

"Don't die!" The colleague crazily covered the mouth of the young clerk: "Be careful if you make false comments on the superior, your whole family will be exiled! Now there is a shortage of manpower in the south of Jianjia Pass, do you want to go and cut down trees?"

The young clerk shook his head again and again, and the colleague let go of his hand, and said in a low voice: "I used to work under the Marquis Zhenming, and he was kind to others on weekdays, and he didn't have the pretensions of being a high-ranking official. But don't treat him as an unpopular job." The son of the noble family, Marquis Zhenming hates people who do things casually."

"Is the imperial court really going to attack the Chongxuan Pavilion this time?" The young clerk looked around, saw the boxes of precious treasures brought out, and asked, "Wang Shi of Chiyang is the first-class rich man in the Huaxu Kingdom." If you do anything to them, the entire Chongxuan Pavilion will be implicated, right? I heard that Juhong Pass also relies heavily on the Wang family for its military supplies."

"Of course!" The colleague sighed: "Everyone can see now that His Majesty sent Marquis Zhenming to open the altar to patrol the territory, just to bring down the powerful, and the blood Yin of the Chongxuan Pavilion is the leader! If they always control Who is in charge of the Huaxu Kingdom?"

"By the way, I also heard that the Marquis of Zhenming wrote a letter to the lord, and he wanted to set up a department to select scholars." The young scribe asked, "What's going on?"

The colleague said: "It is to set up various magic arts subjects, and only after passing the school examination and selection can you be appointed to public office. Zhenming Hou said that there are too many monks who are incompetent in magic arts in the museum. The country supports these people every year. , Costing countless money and food. They are useless to the country, and relying on their status as monks, they are greedy and should be cut down."

The young clerk shuddered: "Reduction? Is this still worth it?"

The colleague laughed: "So Zhenminghou also gave them a chance. As long as they can pass the exams of various subjects, they can keep the existing salary and silver offerings. If they fail, then go back and practice for a few more years."

"Can all the libraries agree?" the young scribe asked.

"You don't even think about it. The Marquis of Zhenming is able to have the status he is now, and there must be the backing of the Guanxi." The colleague said: "There is no need to mention the Huaiying Pavilion. The Jiangzhen Pavilion and the Mingxia Pavilion are also very popular. As for Chong Xuanguan and the other two are followers, the king wants to deal with them. Do you disagree? Let’s see what the four surnames Gaomen of the immortal lineage look like now?"

The young scribe secretly claimed it was, and when he looked up, he saw Marquis Zhenming take out a few pieces of paper with characters drawn on it, and said to everyone: "Go to the courtyards and ask all the servants and maidservants, and find out whoever has seen this person. Come."

Zhao Mi returned to Lvzhu Garden, immediately described the appearance of the Shangjing Zongmen, and ordered to question his words and deeds.

Seeing this, Jiang Ru asked, "What happened?"

"This person is from the Shangjing sect, probably a spy sent by Xiongguo!" Zhao Mi said.

"Shangjingzong?!" Jiang Ru was startled: "Are you worried that the Chiyang Wang family has connections with foreign countries?"

"Do you still have to worry about this kind of thing?" Zhao Mi laughed: "The Wang family of Chiyang originally had a practice of doing business with other countries. Even if they don't care about it, some flies and mice come here after hearing the news! I'll say where Wang Zhongding got it from." With such a group of monks and guest lords, many of them must have come from Xiong Country!"

Jiang Ru was a little puzzled: "The Wang family of Chiyang is already very wealthy in the Huaxu Kingdom, and it is also one of the four surnames of the Chongxuanguan Immortal Clan. There is no need to collude with other countries, right?"

"Wang Zhongding is very ill, we can't expect him to be loyal to the country." Zhao Mi paced back and forth, and not long after, several servants were escorted by soldiers.

"Have you all seen this person?" Zhao Mi shook the portrait of the Shangjing sect: "What is his name? What is he doing in Lvzhu Garden?"

A servant replied: "He, his name is Qian Xiang. He is here to ask Mr. Wang... ah no no no, he is asking Wang Zhongding for a letter of communication."

"Commercial letters?" Zhao Mi frowned: "Only the imperial court can issue these things, so why does Wang Zhongding have the final say?"

The servant's legs were weak: "The letter was sent to the local area, but it was detained by the county guard. Whoever the county guard wants to send the letter to, he must listen to Wang Zhongding. Whatever he says, the county guard and county magistrate must be obedient."

Zhao Mi smiled meaningfully: "This money has always been obtained from a commercial letter?"

The servant nodded frantically, and Zhao Mi asked again: "Then what business is he going to do?"

"I heard that they want to buy a large amount of silk." An attendant replied, "Qian Xiang claimed to be a businessman with the Three Treasures Association of Xiongguo, and he negotiated with Wang Zhongding a business of exchanging rice and millet for silk. Moreover, the Wang family stockpiled silk in Shangling County. , almost all of them were shipped and sent to the country of Xiong.”

When Zhao Mi heard this, his thoughts changed sharply, and he asked, "When did the ship set off?"

"Three days ago."

"Three days!" Zhao Mi frowned and pondered, calculating in his hands, and began to think about the daily itinerary of the ships in his mind, and then called for the captain of the commanding army: "You immediately send a light cavalry and rush to the border along the Shang River. Detain and interrogate. Regardless of whether the other party has a business letter or not, leave it to me!"

The captain was ordered to resign, Jiang Ru saw Zhao Mi leaving, and asked, "Are you going to recover this batch of silk?"

"Could it be possible to let them go?" Zhao Mi said angrily, "And I suspect that Xiongguo is not purely for buying silk. If you think about those villagers who complained before, Youxiongguo is clearly borrowing from the Chiyang Wang family." , forcing Huaxu’s domestic annexation to prosper. I will never tolerate such a method of harming the country and the people! Not a single piece of silk can flow out of Huaxu’s country!”

Jiang Ru couldn't stop him, and said: "Then you must be careful when chasing, Xiong Guo asked Shang Jingzong to participate in this matter, maybe even sent a master to respond."

"Lu Wangji will go with me." Zhao Mi couldn't wait, soaring into the sky, the voice came from afar: "You stay in the Green Pearl Garden to deal with business, and call another group of monks to follow!"
