Kunlun one millet

When Zhao Mi took Ruomu out of the Evergreen Sacred Tree, more than half a year had passed, and great changes had taken place in the outside world.

The most important thing is that Xiong Guo's left minister, He Qingchen, passed away half a year ago.Emperor Youxiong ordered a generous burial, and added more posthumous titles to him, which is extremely honorable.

The left prime minister who has been in power for many years has presided over Xiong Guochaotang for many years. Although the world cannot help but slander him, it cannot be denied that he has allowed Xiong Guo to go through a period of difficult times in the turmoil after the drastic change in Dongshengdu, and he has acted vigorously and resolutely. The wrist, the country back on track, and even a new lease of life.

Even the emperor of Xiong Kingdom who was able to take charge of the government in person, fought against all opinions at the court meeting and praised He Qingchen for his contribution to rebuilding.

At the same time, the young emperor who assumed the power of the country did not overthrow the arrangements made by He Qingchen during his lifetime.Although the army fighting on the front line of the southern soil was temporarily halted due to the death of Prime Minister Zuo, the whole court of Xiong Guo did not lose their pace because of this.

Youxiong Country's strategy for Jiuli Country is still to isolate the Sacred Valley.After defeating several soldiers and horses who intended to rush to the Sacred Valley, the entire Jiuli Kingdom had no will to fight, and the number of surrenders increased day by day, and there were even people who fled in the Sacred Valley.

According to those who fled, after the high priest Li Chun was defeated and seriously injured, he repeatedly ordered the soldiers and horses in the valley to break out of the encirclement.

In the following days, Li Chun's temperament gradually changed, and he would whip his concubines Ji and his concubines at the slightest displeasure, to the point of indulging in sex and ignoring government affairs.This made the people in Shengsi Valley panic, and everyone knew that the Jiuli Kingdom was about to run out.

The worse thing happened not long ago. One of the Nantu demon gods who claimed to be Master Tianlong was beheaded by the four immortals of Shangjingzong. The whole Laoye mountain was burned into coke by sparks and collapsed.

And the centipede head of Master Tianlong was spread to all directions, announcing that the demon gods of various tribes in the southern land have been executed.Some tribes that escaped the control of the demon gods also chose to join the Xiong Kingdom after discussion.

The Xiong Kingdom issued seals to these newly subordinated tribes, and still maintained the previous rule of Juji, allowing the local chieftains to be hereditary, and did not vigorously change the system and customs, and did not require them to pay taxes.

However, after Xiongguo discovered the great plain formed by the fall of the star Bo in the depths of the southern soil, another decree was issued to allow various tribes and villages to relocate their population to reclaim and settle there.However, the people who moved here must be included in the household registration, follow the laws of the country, and follow the plan left by He Qingchen, step by step to reform the land and return it to the local people.

It can be seen from this that Youxiong Kingdom has planned to annex the southern land gradually, and Jiuli Kingdom is also gradually disappearing in this process, leaving only the Sacred Valley and a few sporadic places of resistance. Total destruction is only a matter of time.

Apart from these major events, the Grand Sima Luo Yide of the Huaxu Kingdom was abdicated, took power in a legitimate manner, changed the name of the country to Dongyang, and appointed Luo Xixian as the crown prince.

But today's Dongyang Kingdom only has half of the eastern land, and it is not considered powerful and prosperous.Although withstood Chi Yundu's advance for a time, the situation did not improve, and was ridiculed by all parties in the world, saying that Luo Yi's move was just bullying Huaxu's young and weak leader, seeking to usurp the throne and gain the country.

But Luo Yi didn't just sit still, he took the initiative to make friends with Rongdi in the north of Panlong Mountain, and spent money and money to borrow a troop, including hundreds of white cashmere people.

The Bairong people are not ordinary people. They are similar to the Yimu people who invaded Xingluo County. They are all descendants of the ancient Longbo people. They live in the northern ice field all the year round. Blowing frost and snow.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a group of Rongdi from northern Xinjiang to climb over the towering Panlong Mountain.However, the drastic change in Dongsheng Capital in the past caused the collapse of Panlong Mountain, the change of landform, and the opening of several canyons that could be used by large soldiers and horses. This allowed Luo Yi to borrow troops from the northern border.With the help of soldiers and horses from Northern Xinjiang, Dongyang Kingdom was able to hold a stalemate with Chiyundu.

These things are all known to Zhao Mi after he left the customs and was in the Yongcui Temple, feeling the aura of heaven and earth.

Now Zhao Shu and Ruomu are both cultivating in sympathy, and they can know things thousands of miles away even in the Yongcui Temple.However, any major changes and massacres will often trigger changes in energy, as if a bell rings itself in the sky and earth, and people can detect it at a glance.

And because of his advanced cultivation, if someone in the world mentions Zhao Mi's name, he will have a subtle reaction, comparable to Liang Tao back then.

It's just that this kind of name-calling power is strong or weak.People who are close to Zhao Mi, such as the disciples of Yunyan Peak, are closely connected with each other, even if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, Zhao Mi can sense it in his mind, as if he was there in person.

But for others who have nothing to do with Zhao Mi, he can only have a vague sense, and it is also limited by the distance.More importantly, the higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to be induced.

"This is the trace you left in this world."

After some lingering, Zhao Shu explained to Ruomu while talking about his recent confirmation, and Ruomu explained:
"Your name, your achievements, everything you do, will leave traces in this world. You occupy a place in the hearts of others, and you are destined to form an invisible connection with you."

"The number of ties and the burden are heavy. These may not be good things for immortality and longevity." Zhao Mi turned to ask: "Does the gods in your hometown value this connection?"

Ruomu said softly: "Yes, we are happy to open our hearts to our gods. Only in this way can we accommodate the wisdom of the gods, listen to the teachings of the gods, and look forward to becoming a person chosen by the gods."

Zhao Shu paused: "I have also seen similar sayings in the Taoist scriptures, but here we are called the breeders. The Dongtian Lord chooses the breeders and registers their names in the Jade Register. After the death of the earthly life, they will receive and guide the souls. Ascend into the cave, be transformed and reborn, live in the cave forever, and be among the Dharma palaces."

"The gods in your world seem to place great emphasis on order?" Ruomu asked.

"Order? Is that so?" In Zhao Mi's eyes, although the Immortal Cave has its own laws, there are also thousands of real saints and immortal generals, who seem to be like court halls in the world.

However, after taking control of the Qingya Fairyland, Zhao Mi discovered that this was not the case at all. Even the generals who were accepted and introduced by the law were calm and calm in the cave. Like the fairy family in the cave, their status was not obvious. .

As the Master of the Cave, although Zhao Mi was regarded as a teacher by Duke Hengbi and other generals, they were by no means monarchs and ministers, and they could not be regarded as masters and apprentices.

"The Dongtian Immortal family and all the truths under the sect are more like seeking like-minded people on the road. It is nothing more than a sequence of hearing the Tao and a different level of practice." Zhao Shu said: "Maybe our understanding of order is different. Thousands of truths and sages must conform to the law of inheritance, instead of using them as servants at will. My...a teacher once made a similar mistake, and finally ended up with a dead end."

Ruomu asked, "Is your teacher also a god?"

"He fell on the road to becoming a god." Zhao Mi imitated Ruomu's words and said, stroking her long silver-white hair.

"Are you scared?" Ruomu turned around and looked straight at Zhao Mi with deep eyes.

Zhao Mi pondered for a moment: "I was afraid before, but now I understand that it is useless to be afraid."

"Your path has been revealed, go ahead with confidence." Ruomu raised his hand and pressed Zhao Mi's chest: "You just need to remember that my fate was saved by you, and you can always rely on us."

"I know." As soon as Zhao Mi finished speaking, Ruomu gently embraced him, kissed his forehead, and the two hugged each other naked, like two intertwined trees.

The Evergreen Sacred Tree seemed to sense it, its branches and leaves swayed briskly, and sprinkled a little bit of rain.Inside the enchantment of Yongcui Temple, heaven and earth are full of celestial music and vitality, and a crowd of mountain ghosts cheered and jumped for joy, stretching out their hands to receive the rain from the sky, and bathe themselves in this way.

Just when Zhao Mi and Ruo Mu were blending with each other, they were about to enter the realm of Dzogchen, but at the same time, they sensed the sudden movement of the jade tree staff outside the Yongcui Temple, and it was still shaking.

"Someone is here again." Ruomu showed a trace of helplessness: "The god who favors you may not want you to enjoy this leisure."

Zhao Mi had no choice but to withdraw, and said with a wry smile, "I'm destined not to enjoy leisure, at least not now."

After changing and tidying up, Zhao Mi came to the Yongcui Temple.During the days when he and Ruomu deduced the formulas and practiced sympathy, the barrier of Yongcui Temple isolated the inside and outside, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.And the Yushu Baozhang left outside replaced Zhao Mi's eyes and ears, and those who were destined to know the machine naturally knew that they had to send a message to the Baozhang.

In fact, no one took the initiative to look for Zhao Mi during these days. Although there were many people coming and going outside the Yongcui Temple, and some people tried to break the barrier, but they all returned in vain, and even few people were able to find the treasure of Yushu. the existence of the rod.

However, the person who appeared this time stood directly beside the Yushu treasure staff, watching Zhao Mi appear and walk out with great interest.

"You are really proud and radiant now." Jiang Yingke joked as soon as she came up, obviously seeing through Zhao Mi's experience.

"Nothing can be hidden from the Shangxian." Zhao Shuyi bowed.

"Hehe, I'm not that powerful, Lord Ji told me." Jiang Yingke readily admitted.

"Master Ji? He is really paying attention to the sacred tree of Yongcui!" Zhao Mi was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he was not surprised.

Jiang Yingke was amazed: "It was originally the Heavenly God Tree used by Lord Ji to secure the southern land vein, but it was abducted by you. You have to take responsibility."

If it were the former Zhao Mi, he would definitely feel ashamed when faced with such words, but now his cultivation base has improved greatly, and his state of mind is also quite detached: "It should be taken for granted, if the gods don't mention this matter, I will do it. But please allow me to explain..."

Zhao Mi explained clearly the fact that he taught the formula and let Ruomu break free from the shackles of the sacred tree.

"The Eternal Emerald Tree is still rooted thousands of miles to the earth, Anzhen Nantu mountains and rivers, and the nether world. Although there is not much intervention, it is actually the largest earth god in Kunlun Nantu." Zhao Mi turned to ask: "But I still don't know one thing, why did Lord Ji place the sacred tree in the southern land? Is it to avoid the turmoil in the middle land?"

"There are also considerations in this regard, but it's not the main one." Jiang Yingke said: "Before I came here, I went to visit Master Ji at the Lieshan Lingku, and he expected that you would ask about it."

The so-called Lieshan Spirit Cave must be the cave opened by Lord Ji. Zhao Mi asked curiously, "What did Lord Ji say?"

"That's what he said, cough cough..." Jiang Yingke pretended to be a majestic elder, and said in a heavy tone: "...the ancient times were uncertain, the turbidity turned into evil, and the epidemic raged. The Immortal Clan joined forces to seal the ancient turbidity in all directions, and the Evergreen Sacred Tree was placed in the southern land to suppress the turbidity."

"There is still this past incident." Zhao Mi murmured.

"Have you thought of the ancient turbidity deep in the cracks in Huaxu Kingdom?" Jiang Yingke asked.

Zhao Mi nodded and said: "I heard that some ancient monsters sprang out from the depths of the ground fissure. They should be transformed by the ancient turbidity, and they haven't been killed yet."

"Actually, you have already killed this kind of ancient evil spirit that was transformed from turbid air, and you may not have the impression." Jiang Yingke raised her chin slightly: "Let me give you a hint, the evil spirit's lair is in the southern soil."

"Me?" Zhao Mi pointed to himself, and soon thought of the star falling into the sky: "Could it be the King of Scarlet Plague?"

"Exactly!" Jiang Yingke said: "Although Lord Ji arranged for the Evergreen Sacred Tree to suppress the southern land veins, it couldn't completely stop the turbid air from stirring up. Fortunately, the people in remote places disappeared, and over time they became the king of red plague. If these evil spirits guard themselves in a remote place, they can't even talk about doing harm, but the world is full of people, touching each other, and the plague poison is strong and persistent, and it will become a harm to people."

"Hasn't Lord Ji thought about how to deal with it?" Zhao Mi asked.

Jiang Yingke said: "Have you ever thought that this is the test left by the Lord Ji to the world? Ordinary people in the world have to face poisonous snakes, beasts, and pestilence when they open up mountains and forests. In the face of these difficulties and obstacles, ordinary people must gather together To overcome and deal with it with the power and the wisdom of all people, this is the right way to enlighten humanity and get rid of ignorance, instead of just relying on the immortal family to exert great magic power and help them do everything."

"There is some truth to this statement, but when it comes to reality, the King of Red Plague still needs to rely on great magic power to destroy it." Zhao Mi said: "The matter of falling from the sky to the stars cannot be solved by humane enlightenment alone. .”

"You have not yet ascended to immortality. Before that, you were still one of the mortals in the eyes of Lord Ji." Jiang Yingke said bluntly.

"That's right." Zhao Mi always felt that many of his insights came from ordinary people.

"Jizhu also asked me to bring a word to the spirit of the sacred tree. If she has aspirations for immortality in the future, she can go to Lieshan Lingku to build a cave after she ascends." Jiang Yingke stared at Zhao Mi and said with a smile: "But look at the present In this way, it seems unnecessary?"

"Whether Ruomu will ascend in the future is up to her to decide." Zhao Shu said, in fact, now that Ruomu has been taught by Zhao Mi, it is not impossible to really ask to prove the way of immortality, but for Ruomu, she may not be able to abandon many people at will. , at least let these mountain ghosts leave the sacred tree one after another before considering the future.

"Already called him by his first name?" Jiang Yingke said with emotion: "As expected, a real person can't be judged by his appearance. I thought you didn't understand anything, but it seems that you are quite popular with the elders, especially the Taoist fairy."
