Chapter 220 The Courageous Heart

Zhao Mi looked at Ding Muqiu, who was hawk-browed and phoenix-eyed, with a heroic figure, and he felt a little bit of envy and admiration in his heart. He also felt that cultivators should not be hesitant or fearful.

Like myself, he is not like a cultivator at all.He just laughed at Chu Mengchun's quiet mind of seeking immortality from Taoism because of the busyness of the world, but why not Zhao Mi himself?

"Where's Chu Mengchun? Tell him to get out!"

Ding Muqiu picked up a boy servant and threatened: "You people are not good people who work for tigers. Quickly confess where Chu Mengchun is, and I can save you from death!"

"Little man, I really don't know where Master Chu has gone!" The boy servant was so frightened that he trembled all over and lost control of his lower body. Seeing this, Ding Muqiu was disgusted and threw him aside.

Seeing that Ding Muqiu was about to use his magic power to go to war again, Zhao Mi quickly persuaded him: "Daoyou Ding, don't ask, Chu Mengchun is dead."

"What?!" Ding Muqiu was also taken aback by these words, she glanced at Zhao Mi several times, and asked in a blink of an eye, "You killed it?"

Zhao Mi nodded and admitted: "Chu Mengchun and I have old grievances in the past, and launched the mountain guards at Lingtai Ruins, trying to trap me in the blessed land. Fortunately, I prepared a countermeasure in advance and successfully countered it. Chu Mengchun is already in shape. With all the gods gone, Fellow Daoist Ding doesn’t have to worry about taking risks.”

Ding Muqiu really didn't expect Zhao Mi to move his hands so neatly, he couldn't help asking: "He launched the mountain protection formation, but he still can't deal with you?"

Zhao Mi had no choice but to explain: "More than half of the mountain guard formation at Lingtai Ruins has been destroyed. Even so, it is not possible for Chu Mengchun to operate alone. He forced his magic power, but it has a little effect. In addition, I have long been prepared , there is no need to fight him head-on... This is Chu Mengchun's portable magic weapon, which can be used as proof."

Ding Muqiu twisted the Chilong jade seal that Zhao Mi took out, and after looking it over, it was Jiang Ru who recognized it first: "This is the Jade Chi Yangbo seal, which is one of the Chu family's family heirlooms...Chu Mengchun won this magic treasure, still Can't win, it seems that he hasn't made much progress in the past two years."

Zhao Mi shook his head and denied: "No, Chu Mengchun's cultivation and mana have indeed improved a lot compared to when he was in Qingyan County. It's a pity that he lacks fighting skills, even if this jade seal can summon the remnants of Chilong and blow waves , but I still found a way to restrain it. As for the help of the location of the mountain protection formation, it is not helpless to me."

Fighting skills between monks is not simply a competition of mana power, the strength of energy, the magic of magic weapons, and the right time and place can all affect the outcome of the battle, even if the state of mind and emotion may determine success or failure.

Moreover, the situation is ever-changing during the battle, requiring the monks to change their strategies in time and adopt the most effective means.Whoever can make an effective response faster will naturally gain the upper hand in the fight.

And these things cannot be learned by relying on Qishan Qingxiu, even if there are elders to teach them, it is only on paper, and they can only accumulate experience step by step from the battle.

Different from Luo Xixian, a swordsman and warrior who is proficient in swordsmanship, Zhao Mi has learned a lot of variety, magic weapons and spells emerge in endlessly, coupled with the basic knowledge of scientific rituals and rituals, he pays attention to mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth when facing the enemy. With the momentum of the mountain topping the top, the victory was established in one fell swoop, and there was no chance to play multiple rounds with the opponent and test each other.

So even though Chu Mengchun made a lot of progress, facing Zhao Shu, who had mastered the Xuanpu Jade Book and was familiar with the operation of the Lingtai Ruins, he lost the opportunity from the very beginning.

After a brief explanation to Ding Muqiu, she finally convinced Zhao Mizhu to kill Chu Mengchun: "I really didn't expect that you look gentle, but you are merciless when you move your hands."

"Life and death are critical, how can we be negligent?" Zhao Mi said, "What's more, it was Chu Mengchun who made the first move. He was not able to endure, so I killed him. No one else can blame him."

Ding Muqiu laughed and said, "Just now you advised me not to implicate the Mingxia Hall by mobilizing people, but now you directly killed Chu Mengchun, how do you plan to explain to the Chongxuan Hall?"

"I have my own calculations on this matter."

Zhao Mi also laughed, he can conclude that Chu Mengchun's mana has grown by leaps and bounds recently, because he was enlightened by Liang Tao, but he didn't know it.

If Liang Tao doesn't want Zhao Mi to hurt Chu Mengchun, he can be transferred away in advance.After all, with his realm, he should be able to predict the conflict between Chu Mengchun and Zhao Mi.

What's more, Liang Tao bestowed mana to Chu Mengchun because he wanted to prove the divine way and the power of incense, not simply to let Chu Mengchun improve his cultivation.Chu Mengchun's depression and mood swings are probably related to his conversion to the divine way. Even if he died suddenly, for Liang Tao, it was just a matter of spending more effort to deduce and prove it.

Moreover, Zhao Mi is different today, his existence is related to Liang Tao's great ambitions, and the weight of a Chu Mengchun cannot be compared with his Zhao Mi at all.

But Zhao Mi thought about it again, among the young children of the four surnamed Xueyin families of the immortal lineage, the deaths of Liang Shuo and Zheng Tunan were somewhat related to him, and Wang Zhongding and Chu Mengchun were all killed by him.

Although this is far from shaking the foundation of the four surnames of the immortal family, Zhao Mi's actions almost put him on the opposite side of the children of the Chongxuanguan aristocratic family. With nothing to rely on, I am afraid that they will join forces to deal with Zhao Mi immediately.

"Could this be Chu Mengchun's plan?" Zhao Mi immediately came to his senses: "At the beginning, Wang Zhongding gathered all kinds of casual cultivators and heretics. This posture is not like Wang Zhongding's arbitrariness alone. It must be that the Chiyang Wang family took this opportunity to deal with me. , can also test the attitude of the court."

The four surnames of Chongxuan have deep roots, and it is easy to overthrow them in the court, but they still have many former disciples, not to mention owning a large area of ​​manor property in the local area, not paying taxes, hiding their population, almost like a country within a country.Even though the imperial court has repeatedly issued decrees requiring all counties and counties to allocate land to counties, they have encountered great resistance and it is difficult to go all over the country without hindrance.

Among the four surnames of Chongxuan, the Chu family has the largest number of people and the richest family business. Even after Zhao Shu opened the altar and patrolled the territory, there are still many Chu children who take up positions. The chaos is even worse.

It's just that without Liang Tao's backing, if the Chu family really chooses to gather crowds to make trouble at the moment, in Zhao Mi's view, it's simply going to the doctor in a hurry.

But if Zhao Mi was placed in Liang Tao's position, he would feel deeply in a dilemma.Wanting to use the Yongjia Liang family to annex the other three surnames does not mean that they can see success in just a few years, but in order to have sufficient manpower for the great cause of the Dao Kingdom in the future, they cannot just sit back and watch the young children of the four surnames of the immortal family die.

After thinking about it, the best way is to find a person who has no foundation in Chongxuan Pavilion but can be trusted by Liang Tao, and let him come forward to beat the other three houses, and wipe out those who have ulterior motives and resist the wind in one fell swoop. This serves as a deterrent.

Zhao Mi immediately understood that Liang Tao was not only using himself to frighten the other three families, but also because of his seclusion, the hatred and resentment between the immortal family and the nobles in the country would naturally be directed at Zhao Mi.

In the future, if the Dao Kingdom is established on earth, even if Zhao Mi can really become the teacher of the Dao Kingdom, Zhao Mi will be forced to rely more on Liang Tao because of the deep grievances with all parties in the past.

"Wrong." Zhao Mi wanted to understand this, his face darkened.

"What's wrong?" Ding Muqiu was puzzled.

"I did something wrong." Zhao Mi sighed softly. He knew that Liang Tao's layout was deep, and he often took one step to see three steps. Dogs are destined to attract brutal revenge from all forces.

This is a more insidious calculation than a rabbit's death and a dog's cooking, and the bird's bow is hidden. Zhao Mi's current rampant and powerful power is precisely to create many enemies for himself, and personally destroy his own retreat and room for maneuver.

In terms of rituals and rituals, Liang Tao will listen to Zhao Mi's arrangements, but it doesn't mean that Liang Tao will follow Zhao Mi's wishes in everything.

Liang Tao can use Zhao Mi to suppress the immortal family today, and may use the immortal family to suppress Zhao Mi in the future. Only by balancing the two sides can Liang Tao rest easy.

"You don't want to say that you regret killing Chu Mengchun, do you?" Ding Muqiu raised his eyebrows with his hands on his hips, and said bluntly, "Zhao Mi, you are fine with everything else, but this kind of endless suspicion and scruples about everything is really annoying! "

Zhao Mi had no choice but to smile wryly in response to such undisguised and straightforward words: "Chu Mengchun is not the only one I regret? I figured out some things and found that I am really ambitious and incompetent!"

Ding Muqiu was confused and didn't know why, but Jiang Ru had a good understanding and understood everything. She knew that Zhao Mi should have found herself falling into Liang Tao's scheme again, and Chu Mengchun's death made Zhao Mi more and more trapped. Deep, to the point of being unable to extricate oneself.

"Okay! Manly man, always looks sad, really shameless!" Ding Muqiu was as upright as his figure, and slapped his chest: "Scum like Chu Mengchun, if you kill him, kill him. If you are afraid that you will not be able to bear the responsibility, just Push it on me! Anyway, everyone else saw that I did it, so they can't suspect you."

Zhao Mi hurriedly shook his head, how could he take the initiative to implicate others because of himself?Ding Muqiu, a straightforward and straightforward woman, really shouldn't be involved in such turbid world affairs and insidious schemes.

"I'll go rescue the girl who was abducted by Chu Mengchun first, just wait a moment." Ding Muqiu just took two steps, then turned around and asked: "By the way, can you... can you lend me some money? Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back." of!"

Zhao Mi asked, "What is Daoist Ding borrowing money for?"

"These women who have been kidnapped and bought must settle down properly. They can't just be rescued." Ding Muqiu was a little shy when he said these words: "They want to go home now, I'm afraid their families won't be able to tolerate them anymore." , so I plan to open a nursing home, and then buy some fields and houses to settle these weak women."

Zhao Mi knew at a glance that Ding Muqiu was not familiar with this kind of thing, and with her straightforward temperament, it was probably out of a momentary urgency.

"Let me help with this matter." Jiang Ru stepped forward and said with a smile: "It is of course a good intention to open a nursing home, but I am afraid that if it is not managed properly, it will become a place for raising lazy people and greedy for money."

Ding Muqiu's smile froze, and he looked at Zhao Mi eagerly, but the other party could only say, "Jiang Ru manages the money for me, if you want to borrow money, go to her."

Jiang Ru took Ding Muqiu's arm and said with a smile, "Let's go, first go and rescue those women who have been victimized, and we'll discuss how to open a nursing home on the way."

After the two of them walked away, Lingxiao asked: "You don't want Ding Muqiu to get involved?"

"If it was in the past, I would have thought she was impulsive and reckless, full of chivalry, and not doing business properly. I would have wondered if she had taken the wrong medicine." Zhao Mi sighed: "But when I look back at myself, can I be like Ding Muqiu? In this way, facing right and wrong, good and evil, can you still act with integrity?"

"There is only a thin line between impulsiveness and ignorance." Lingxiao reminded.

Zhao Mi shook his head: "Ding Muqiu chose to be loyal to his heart and discarded unnecessary worldly interests and interests. This is the heart of a child. If he can persevere, the future can be expected."

"You also know how to calculate other people's cultivation achievements?" Lingxiao said, "I'm afraid this Ding Muqiu hasn't experienced enough setbacks yet. It's too early to say with a child's heart."

Zhao Mi pondered for a long time. At this time, the noise in the Lingtai Pavilion subsided, and several Xiang Yong came to visit with guns and clubs. They all looked cautious and hid behind the gatepost to spy.

"Come out, there's no need to hide." Zhao Mi had sensed it a long time ago, and when he turned his head, he frightened those brave people to fall down one after another.

"I am Zhao Mi, Sanqing of the Huaiying Pavilion. I was ordered to set up the mandala and passed by here." Zhao Mi said, "There was a monster haunting the building just now, and it has been beheaded by Mr. Zhao. You can rest assured."

"Monster, monster?" Xiang Yong flinched in fear, and one of them boldly said: "Immortal Chief, this Lingtai Hall is the dojo of Master Chu, where can there be such a monster?"

Zhao Mi was not impolite, and said bluntly: "The Master Chu you worshiped every day in the past is a snake demon!"

"Ah? Master Chu is, yes..." Before Xiangyong could react, Zhao Mi pulled out a tendon to cast an illusion, and directly transformed into a big python. At this time, the skin was burnt yellow, as if it had already died.

"This is the corpse of the snake demon." Zhao Mi lied directly to the public, but he also felt helpless. The people here respected and worshiped Chu Mengchun, and the incense and offerings were very rich, entrusting the belief of the local people.

If Zhao Mi made it clear that Chu Mengchun killed him out of personal hatred and old grudges, not only would he not be able to win the trust of the local people, but he might even provoke the believers to attack him.

In fact, with Zhao Mi's current cultivation base and mana, let alone two or three hundred townsmen, even if a thousand people lined up, he would dare to go head-on.But this kind of skill doesn't need to be used on the common people. Since Chu Mengchun is dead, he might as well discredit him completely, falsely claiming that he has changed from a monster, bewitching the local people, and defrauding a lot of money.

Most of the common people who learned of this were astonished as if they had been hit by a thunderbolt.Some people reacted faster. After hearing the news, they immediately rushed to the Lingtai Pavilion, focusing on Chu Mengchun's search for the accumulated property.

And Jiang Ru and Ding Muqiu did find a lot of belongings piled up in the cellar of the Lingtai Hall, as well as a few account books left by Chu Mengchun, on which they clearly remembered the amount of incense and offering money, anyone could only sigh, Chu No matter where Meng Chun went, he had a way to amass wealth.
