Kunlun one millet

"You mean, Zhao Mi's practice of opening an altar in Lingtai Ruins is to relieve Chi Yundu's calamity?"

He Qingchen sat in the carriage, after listening to Qian Shaobai's report, there was no expression of joy or anger on his face, he just thought for a long time.

"When I asked Zhao Mi, he didn't hide anything and told the truth." Qian Shaobai said, "Zhao Mi explained that Chi Yun didn't believe that Xiong Guo and Shishu existed, so he made his own decision and explained it first. out of kindness."

"He really made up his own mind." He Qingchen put down the official document in his hand: "I vaguely sensed that there was a movement in the southeast, so I don't know what the current situation is in Chiyundu?"

Qian Shaobai replied: "Several rains in succession have greatly alleviated the drought and restored the vitality of vegetation."

He Qingchen looked a little dignified: "So this year, Chiyun should be able to raise food and grass by himself? Zhao Mi, are you worried that I will take advantage of others?"

"Could it be that Zhao Mi and Chi Yun are both old? So they spare no effort to help them?" Qian Shaobai asked curiously.

He Qingchen asked back, as if he was testing the juniors: "What do you think?"

"I think there is." Qian Shaobai said while thinking: "Zhao Mi seems to be a cultivator, but in his bones he still values ​​the inheritance of officials, and his heart of benefiting others will not be affected by temporary setbacks." Change.

As for Chiyundu, according to the disciples' investigations during these days, even though they were plagued by catastrophes, they were still able to share joys and sorrows with the common people.It is not surprising that such people appreciate each other. "

"The connection between Zhao Mi and Chi Yundu may be earlier than you think." He Qingchen said: "Although there is no clear evidence at present, I guess Zhang Duanjing, the former head of the Huaiying Pavilion, and Chi Yundu have secretly had a relationship. Communication. Back then, Chi Yundu forged a divine sword in Xingluo County, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard about it, but I don't know much about it."

"It is rumored that it is this divine sword that caused drastic changes in Dongshengdu." He Qingchen said with a smile: "And the person who wielded the divine sword and beheaded the Xian family back then happened to be Zhang Duanjing."

"This..." Qian Shaobai was speechless.

He Qingchen continued: "Master once said that the divine sword has the power to kill immortals and gods, and it is very worthy of being held. I don't think it can be refined with Chiyundu alone. There is no calculation in it. No outsider can know all about it, but I guess it has something to do with the ritual ceremony of the ceremonial officer."

"No wonder." Qian Shaobai repeatedly nodded in agreement.

"It's within my expectation that Zhao Mi will help Chi Yundu, but it's beyond my original expectation." He Qingchen knocked on a few cases and said, "But in this way, I'm afraid his identity is There is no way to hide it."

Qian Shaobai couldn't help worrying: "Since the drastic change in Dongsheng Capital, Zhao Mi and Liang Tao have been deeply hated by the world. His identity exposure will damage the reputation of the uncle in the court?"

"Is hated by the world? You are thinking too much." He Qingchen said: "Huaxu country hates Zhao Mi, it is because the current chief minister Luoyi is just taking advantage of the chaos to gain power, so naturally he has to deal with it." Zhao Mi, Liang Tao and others slandered him greatly.

As for the others, those who know Zhao Mi's identity are already afraid of him, and those who don't know are nothing to worry about.I want to use the succession of the tribute officer to assist the reform and reform, not to praise Zhao Mi as a moral saint, but because he thinks too much himself. "...

"Uncle Master, does it mean that Zhao Mi is too harsh on himself?" Qian Shaobai asked.

"I told him that if I were him, the first thing I would do when I came back out of the rivers and lakes would be to go back to the Hua Xu country to take revenge. It's a pity that he was timid and timid, and nothing happened." He Qingchen said unceremoniously: "Hua Xu What is the current situation of Xu State? Luo Yi and these few people are presiding over state affairs, can they manage the country well? At best, they are nothing more than a county guard!"

Qian Shaobai knew that He Qingchen was very strict in selecting officials, so he had to smile wryly and say, "It's not like that."

"Back when Chi Yun belonged to the Huaxu Kingdom, it was this Luo Yi who proposed to kill people. He thought that this move would stop the disaster, but he didn't know how much trouble it would cause for the Huaxu Kingdom!" He Qingchen sneered: "It's so good now , he took advantage of the chaos to control the government, but the Huaxu Kingdom also lost half of the country in his hands, isn't it because he was self-righteous back then?"

"Being responsible for fashion is indeed true." Qian Shaobai sighed.

"Speaking of burdens, I am now more worried about the consequences of Zhao Mi's move to destroy Lingtai Ruins." He Qingchen scratched his head.

Qian Shaobai quickly explained: "Although it is said to be destroyed, I personally went to the Lingtai Ruins to investigate and found that it was just letting the charm of the blessed land dissipate, not a big move to shake the mountains and caves. Today's Lingtai Ruins no longer has formation restrictions to hide, returning to normal It looks like a forest."

He Qingchen said: "One of your farms was demolished, and all your money and food were looted, what would you think?"

"Even if you don't lose your temper, you still have to reason with the other party?" Qian Shaobai immediately understood: "Could it be possible that the immortal family will investigate Zhao Mi's destruction of the blessed land?"

"I don't dare to speak nonsense about the immortal family, but I suspect that Zhao Mi deliberately led the immortal family into the lower realm." He Qingchen said.

"On purpose?" Qian Shaobai couldn't help being surprised.

He Qingchen sighed softly: "I probably understand what Zhao Mi is thinking. With the power of Xiong Guo and Shangjingzong, he is not just trying to avenge the battle of Difei Mountain in the past, but also trying to reset the order of the immortals." .”

Qian Shaobai opened his mouth slightly, and asked in astonishment: "This... Zhao Mi has not yet achieved the immortal way, are such thoughts too arrogant?"

He Qingchen smiled and said, "You think he's the only one who thinks so?"

Qian Shaobai looked at the left prime minister in front of him, and thought of all the scheming schemes of the other party in the past, he couldn't help but change his expression: "Master, you also—"

"It's not just me." He Qingchen interrupted: "After the drastic changes in Dongsheng Capital, I had a long talk with my master, and I already felt that Kunlun Continent has been in chaos for a hundred years, and there are many fairy families behind the scenes. However, after going through so much, most people of insight feel that such a mixed situation is actually not beneficial to each other."

Qian Shaobai asked: "Uncle Master, don't you want to see the Xian family go down to the world?"

"This kind of thing is not about whether you want to, but whether you can. If the Xian family really wants to go down to the realm, they can't stop it." He Qingchen said directly: "I'm not Zhao Mi, and I don't have any deep-seated hatred for the Xian family. Resetting the order of immortals is not to prevent the immortal family from descending."

Qian Shaobai said: "I understand. Uncle Master wants to restore the Tianxia Dynasty, and the imperial court will suppress all kinds of fairy monsters with the help of praise officials and discipline laws."...

"Tianxia Dynasty's attempts can be used for reference, but it is not necessary to copy them all." He Qingchen sat a little bored, stepped out of the carriage to breathe, and looked up at the fields built around the lake in the distance.

He Qingchen continued to say: "As far as I know, at the beginning of the founding of the Tianxia Dynasty, it received the great help of many immortal families, and the creation of the inheritance of the praise officials was also closely related to this. The weather back then was not the fourth generation of Shangjingzong. Xiangong can be compared.

As for Tianxia Dynasty's suppression of fairy demons, the focus is on getting rid of injustice, evil and arrogance, not looking for trouble and abusing power.Otherwise, where do you think the purpose of praising officials, benefiting people and benefiting people comes from?Could it be that this group of people really went crazy and did everything they could to become enemies of all kinds of fairies? "

Qian Shaobai was still puzzled: "But why did those immortal families help Tianxia Dynasty in the first place? From the perspective of the immortal family, it should be foreseeable that the Zanli official will gain such a powerful position, which will be detrimental to the immortal family."

"What do you mean by 'disadvantage'?" He Qingchen asked back: "Could it be that the power to control the world is taken away by mortals? Not necessarily, if I give up my position to the fairy family in the sky, you Who do you think wants it?"

Qian Shaobai couldn't answer all of a sudden, not only because he knew little about the immortal family in the sky, but because He Qingchen was so dusty and far away from the tranquility of the immortal way, the immortal family didn't need to ask for trouble.

He Qingchen said with a smile: "In the past, in the eyes of many people, I was only a representative of Shangjingzong and ordinary people, and my authority was bestowed by the master. If this is the case, then they will never understand why the Four Immortals retired Return to the mountain."

Qian Shaobai realized something: "The benefits that the immortal family seeks are different from ordinary people. In the past, the immortals helped the Tianxia Dynasty, and then the world was stable. Cultivators don't have to be distracted by the day and night. The prosperity of each family inherits and prospers.

And the Tianxia Dynasty set up a tribute officer to crusade against injustice and evil, which is the most effective way to uphold the moral order, and it is actually of great benefit to the inheritance of the immortal families of various factions. "

He Qingchen lowered his voice: "Even if you look at it with the most utilitarian intentions, the officials who praised the ceremony for punishing evil spirits and cutting down mountains and destroying temples have undertaken countless sinister battles for various families of Xuanmen and Immortal Dao. Not above the head of Xuanmen Xiandao."

Qian Shaobai remained silent, he knew that the Four Immortals also had similar plans to return to hermitage, and He Qingchen reused Zhao Mi, obviously to let him deal with all kinds of dangers, so that Shangjingzong could withdraw.

For Shang Jingzong, the continuation of the inheritance is the top priority. If the power and prestige in the world may endanger the inheritance itself, no matter how great the benefits are, it must be discarded as soon as possible.

"It's just that in this way, Zhao Mi's responsibilities may not only be the chief of the Zanli Department." Qian Shaobai murmured.

"Are you worried about him?" He Qingchen folded his arms across his chest, calmly: "If a person like Zhao Mi has no commitment, he will only become aimless and muddle-headed. But, he This time I took the initiative to destroy the blessed place of Xuanpu Hall, which made me change my mind. Perhaps it is time for him to face the Xian family and test his quality."

Qian Shaobai asked: "Aren't Master Uncle afraid that the lower realm of the Immortal Family will attack Zhao Mi directly?"

"You are also an immortal cultivator, why would you think of the immortal family like that?" He Qingchen reprimanded: "It seems that you have been rolling around in the world for a long time, and you have acquired some bad habits."...

Qian Shaobai showed a trace of shame: "It's just that I heard from the master that Xuan Ju was a banished immortal, and he did a lot of killings back then."

"Xuan Ju personally killed very few people, but Xuanming Kingdom invaded with a large force, killing a lot of people wherever it passed, even if Xuan Ju didn't do it himself, it still has something to do with it." He Qingchen With a cold snort:
"That's why there was a battle of killing the dragon, and all parties worked together to kill him. That Donghai sword fairy Hong Xueke was somehow related to the Canghua Tianjun who appeared last in the battle of Difei Mountain. To put it bluntly, Xuan Ju He acted recklessly and provoked the wrath of heaven and people, and finally deserved to be chopped off."

"What about Canghua Tianjun?" Qian Shaobai asked again.

He Qingchen shook his head and said: "Anyway, I haven't found out many bad deeds. Besides, this fairy family was killed by Zhang Duanjing. Who knows what kind of grievances there are between them? But this can also prove that even if the fairy family descends to the realm, If you act recklessly, you will end up bringing your own disaster.

Immortal parents have long-term vision, and burdens are even more popular, and many subtleties are involved, let alone ordinary people like you and me can explain clearly.If you want to be untainted, you must either guard the cave and not go to the lower realms, or don't show others that you are a fairy. "

"That's why Uncle Master wants to reset the order of immortality." Qian Shaobai finally understood.

"I can't decide this kind of thing alone." He Qingchen looked up at the sky: "Actually, I guess, not all the immortals in the sky are willing to get involved in the world. However, my identity is too involved, and the immortals are not happy Advise me."

This was something Qian Shaobai hadn't thought of. He originally thought that with the respect of Xiong Guo's Zuoxiang, he should be favored by the immortal family.

"Then what should we do with Chi Yun?" Qian Shaobai asked instead.

"Don't always ask me, tell me what you think?" He Qingchen knew that Han Yuanzi intended to cultivate Qian Shaobai, and he might be in charge of Shang Jingzong in the future.Even if Shang Jingzong doesn't have to get involved too deeply in the world in the future, he can't be ignorant of the affairs of the government and the public.

Qian Shaobai thought for a moment, and saw many carriages escorting soldiers on the official road passing by, so he said: "Zhao Shu climbed the altar to practice the law, and relieved the drought. Still unresolved.

Moreover, Huaxu Kingdom must have noticed the situation in Chiyundu, and it is impossible to let them take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger. It is very likely that they will gather troops and horses as soon as possible, launch a round of fierce attack, and break the current deadlock.It is best to capture several large cities controlled by Chiyundu and force Chiyundu to scatter into the countryside. "

"Chi Yun would not have expected this kind of situation." He Qingchen said.

"That's right, they will definitely take precautions." Qian Shaobai continued to deduce: "However, if Huaxu Kingdom wants to prevent Chi Yun from continuing to grow, it must launch a sufficiently violent offensive, otherwise it will be difficult to have a chance in the future. Over the years, the Huaxu Kingdom has recruited many monks from the East Sea, many of whom have been cultivating for many years and have profound magic powers. If they are well-organized and launch a fierce attack, they may not be able to severely defeat Chiyundu."

"If the monks invited from overseas can't promise great benefits, I'm afraid we can't let them take the risk of attacking." He Qingchen said.

"So this is a desperate attempt." Qian Shaobai supported his chin and said, "I didn't expect that Zhao Mi's actions would force the Huaxu Kingdom to have no way out. Could it be that he expected this?"

"Anyway, someone who has experienced fighting on the battlefield can always see the direction of the situation." He Qingchen showed a gratified expression, and he didn't know who he was addressing: "Then what's next? What should Chi Yundu do?"

Qian Shaobai was silent for a moment: "It is true that there are three elders in Chiyundu, and there are also many disciples under the sect, but facing the sudden attack of Huaxu Kingdom, I am afraid that they will be caught off guard. Unless there is strong foreign aid, Zhao Mi will not be able to avoid it at that time. He must Stand up for Chi Yundu."
