Kunlun one millet

Chapter 54

"Several guard posts set up by bandits in Gaoling County have been removed one by one."

Luo Xixian said to General Wei in the camp: "The thieves counterattacked several times, even with the participation of powerful demons, but we all killed them. It's a pity that the demons are cunning, so we let him escape."

"Monster?" General Wei asked with a smile: "Are those monks in Chiyundu who are proficient in fire control?"

Luo Xixian held the sword in his hand and nodded slightly, with anger on his brows: "It's that Sanren of Dongzhang. Last time in Sanniukeng, he only used up my mental strength by fighting day and night, and finally gained the upper hand. If he fights head-on, he will surely Not my opponent."

"Don't underestimate the enemy." General Wei said: "Recently the bandits have started to retreat, obviously intending to stick to the fortified city to prolong the time."

"When is the general going to attack?" Luo Xixian asked.

"In a hurry?" General Wei said with a smile, "I have already ordered people to start building siege equipment, but before attacking the city, we still have to persuade them first, so that the hearts of the soldiers and people in the city will be shaken, and the bandits will definitely deal with those who intend to flee, so that they will gradually eat away at the city. Disintegrate and shake the morale of the thieves."

Luo Xixian was puzzled: "Will this make the thieves stubbornly resist?"

General Wei said: "I have already received news from Wang Juncheng that the imperial court has allowed Xingluo County to re-issue the land decree. As long as the thieves and the people put down their weapons, not only will the thieves be exempted, but the county will be granted land without owners according to the number of Dingkou. If you can provide information about the army of the bandits, or even assist the officers and soldiers to break through the walls of the bandits, there will be other rewards."

"If that's the case, why worry about the bandits not breaking through?" Luo Xixian said pleasantly.

"General, the talisman soldiers from Huaiying Hall have been delivered." At this moment, a soldier stepped forward to report.

"Oh?" General Wei looked happy, and looked up at Luo Xixian: "It's just right, you come with me."

Luo Xixian heard about the Huaiying Hall, but he didn't know what the talisman soldiers were. He followed General Wei out of the tent silently, and saw a carriage parked outside, and the soldiers unloaded the goods one by one.

When the tarpaulin was lifted, hundreds of knives were lined up neatly. General Wei picked up one of the knives and drew the knives out of their sheaths. Immediately, white lights came into the eyes, which made people feel a little stinging.

"Good knife!"

General Wei praised it, and then saw a string of Zhu Wenfu seals near the handle of the knife, the strokes were as thin as hair.

"What do you think of this talisman soldier?" General Wei handed the Huanshou knife to Luo Xixian who was next to him. The other party was secretly suspicious, stroked the blade, and flicked it with his finger. Faint ripples could be seen expanding on the surface of the blade with the naked eye.

"This is a ring-head saber made with a charm, but this method seems to be..." Luo Xixian couldn't tell, he felt that this talisman saber was different from his method of sacrificial sword weapon.

"I entrusted Zhao Fuli to refine it. The quantity is so large. It is estimated that the Huaiying Pavilion has spent a lot of effort." General Wei opened another wooden box, which contained bundles of gun heads, which glowed a layer of ocher red in the sun. luster.

Luo Xixian didn't respond, General Wei turned his head and said to him: "I'm going to let you divide this batch of talisman soldiers. You choose a group of elite soldiers from the army, match them with these talisman soldiers, and charge and kill with you in battle. What do you think?" ?”

There is also a lot of knowledge about how to distribute the armor and equipment in the army.No matter how good the martial arts skills of the soldiers are, on the battlefield, everyone hopes to be equipped with better weapons and armor.

Generally speaking, the best-armed soldiers in the army are usually the personal guards around the general.And being able to choose soldiers and allocate armaments by yourself is tantamount to allowing the formation of tribal private soldiers.

Luo Xixian was born in the family of a general, how could he not understand the importance of this place?With a happy expression on his face, he bowed heavily to General Wei immediately.

"It doesn't have to be like this." General Wei led Luo Xixian back to the tent again, and said, "I was entrusted by Da Sima to take good care of you. It's just that the army is not as good as the imperial court. If you don't have solid military exploits, you can't let all the soldiers Sincerely convinced, I will definitely not give you this chance."

Luo Xixian bowed his head and said yes, General Wei sat down and said: "There is no one around, I want to ask you something."

"General, please speak."

"I heard that a few days ago, there was a rift between you and Zhao Fuli?" General Wei asked.

Luo Xixian didn't know how to answer, but just nodded slightly.General Wei said earnestly: "You are all chosen by the Huaiying Pavilion for a while. It is said that you should work together. Now that the bandits have not been suppressed, there is a estrangement. Who do you think will follow?"

Luo Xixian lowered his head and bowed his face, but still did not speak.General Wei said: "I don't want to reveal some things. It depends on when you plan to tell me. People from Chongxuan Hall came to Yuyang County earlier. I heard that there was a woman who stayed in your tent for a long time?"

"There's something wrong with my humble position, please punish the general!" Luo Xixian bowed immediately.

"A military camp is not a market place, so how can we allow people to come and go?" General Wei said in a more serious tone, "If it wasn't for the Chongxuan Hall, I would have driven them away long ago. I am not the chief minister, so I have no right to interfere with your personal relationship. But you You must also understand that this bandit suppression is related to your future, and any mistakes will become hidden dangers in the future. The Chongxuan Pavilion separates you from Zhao Fuli. This intention cannot be more clear. If you want to not be disturbed, you must first be yourself Have a clear mind."

"Yes." Luo Xixian replied.

"I know what's on your mind." General Wei said: "Zhao Fu's hard work is really valued by others. But I can see that he is not a person who intends to be powerful. Show off."

Hearing this, Luo Xixian frowned slightly.In fact, when he occasionally thinks back these days, he also feels that his words to Zhao Mi were too fierce.I want to rebuild the friendship, but I can't hold back my face.

Seeing the change in his expression, General Wei said in a low voice: "There are some things that are inconvenient to say in front of outsiders. You are the son of Da Sima, although you are not a descendant, but Da Sima is not a minister who has been in office for many generations. With the Great Sima working hard in the court, your future is boundless! No Zhao Fuli can compare to you in this regard, so why should you be afraid?"

"It's a lowly job that's thinking wildly." Luo Xixian replied.

General Wei stood up and patted Luo Xixian on the shoulder: "A person in a high position should not be narrow-minded, but should be knowledgeable and tolerant of others. Whether it is commanding soldiers in the army or appointing officials in the court.

If Zhao Fuli slightly offends you, you should not reprimand him in public.Not to mention friends who have been friends for many years, even if they are subordinates who have always been disliked, they should not be completely deadlocked with them. After all, things have to be done by people. "

Luo Xixian understands that General Wei's advice can be said to be heart-to-heart.If he hadn't been in his father's old department, he wouldn't have said such words to an outsider casually.

"Here is the talisman pill sent by Zhao Fuli." General Wei pointed to the wooden box beside him: "These are specially prepared for you, and the letter asked me not to tell you."

Luo Xixian's complexion changed slightly. After opening the wooden box, there were Muscle Jade Ointment for healing trauma, Huanyuan Powder for conserving Qi, and a stack of spells, most of which were various body protection techniques.

"Has Zhao Mi come to Yuyang County yet?" Luo Xixian couldn't help asking.

General Wei replied: "He said in his letter that at present, mandalas will be set up in various places in Xingluo County, and ritual rituals will be prepared, so as to curb the newly forged magic sword of the Chiyun Rebellion."

……

Zhao Mi stood outside a mass burial mound, holding a copper bell and shaking it gently, his lips opened and closed, and the sound of mantras was low and long.

Looking up with the help of Yingxuan's Scenery Technique, there are many ghosts rushing towards the face, making the hairs stand on end all over the body, and the mind is also involved in the illusion——

"Why is Niuniu crying?" Outside the farmer's residence, the woman found the girl.

The girl was holding a little bird in her hand, its wings were broken and it couldn't fly, and it was whining and whining at the moment. The girl's face was full of tears, but she didn't cry out, she just said softly: "The bird can't fly, I can't find it!" It's time for parents."

The woman knelt down and said, "Let mother take a look...it's okay, we'll build a nest for it and feed it with the chicks in the yard. Maybe its parents will find it someday."

The light and shadow disappeared, the family of three sat together, the girl said to the man: "Daddy, that little bird's wings are almost ready, is it going to fly away?"

The man said softly: "The little bird is going to find its parents, so it can't be trapped and not let go?"

"I want a bird." The girl said coquettishly.

"Hey, Daddy will weave a bamboo bird for you." The man stroked the little girl's head.

The scene changed again, as if a horse neighed, the woman hugged the girl tightly and hid in the corner of the house.The man held a pole and yelled outside the door: "We have already given it to the child this month, why do we need it today?"

"You gave Fengtou Mountain Zhang's share before, but you haven't given our Ma's share!" The bandit waved his big knife.

"My family is really out of money, and there won't be enough food and rice for next month. Please ask a few good men to give you a hand and let this go." The man's tone trembled, and he didn't know whether it was fear or anger.

"No money? Then pay with meat!" The thief lifted his trouser waist and said with a lewd smile: "We have heard about it for a long time. Your mother-in-law was born with good white flesh, which makes the brothers feel comfortable and comfortable. Maybe I can forgive this time."

After saying that, the bandit was about to step forward, the man couldn't hold back, the shoulder pole slammed the corner of the bandit's eyebrows, causing the other party to scream, and then the bandits rushed up, hacked the man to death with knives, and then kicked the door open.

The thieves rushed into the house laughing, and hurriedly dragged the woman up, and the girl cried out in fear.The thieves were so annoyed that they picked up the girl and slammed it on the ground, and the crying stopped immediately.

"what--"

The woman howled miserably, pushed away the bandits like crazy, and rushed towards the girl.The thieves were so excited that they tore the woman's clothes to shreds.The woman refused to obey, and fought desperately with the thieves.

The thief bled and suffered pain, and in a rage, he swung his knife and killed the woman.The rest of the thieves looked at the tragic situation in the house, reprimanded their companions one after another, left the ravaged houses, and left angrily.

……

Hundreds of dead people, all kinds of experiences during their lifetime, whether happy, melancholy, busy, or difficult, are mixed and chaotic, and finally gathered into various miserable death conditions, which are presented in front of Zhao Mi.

A lot of resentment, unwillingness, and sorrow gathered in the fierce aura, which was the last thought of the deceased, forming a torrent invisible to the naked eye and rushing towards Zhao Mi, trying to swallow him.

"Duh!"

Zhao Mi did not lose his mind, he gave a soft drink, the ghost in front of him stopped for a moment, immediately lifted a willow branch, dipped it in some clean water, and sprinkled it forward.

A little bit of mantra water turned into boundless nectar, sweeping away the dust and turbidity, allowing the ghosts to return to their former appearance, and the fierceness and violence were temporarily restrained. Hundreds of men, women, old and children were displayed in front of them, but they still hadn't regained their clarity.

Zhao Mi took out a Danyang Talisman that had been written in advance, lit it on the candle lightly, and then it was drawn out, and the red light of the jade mirror in the Mingtang Palace was also emitted after a long time of thinking.The flying flames turned into a big fire, spreading across the void, shining gold, and all the souls were smelted in the fire.

"The souls of the dead will be refined, and they will all gain light. The five directions will be reflected, and all souls will be taught. If you take refuge in a talisman, you will be taught the true form."

Following the sound of the sutra mantra, Zhao Mi held the Hengbi Gongzhen-shaped talisman in his hand and slapped it on the table, and suddenly a ray of light fell from the sky.

The group of dead souls experienced water and fire refining, the dust stagnation has been removed, a little clean energy has been condensed into the real form, the clean fairy clothes are draped, and they stand on the fire cloud, slowly ascending.

"Father, mother, look quickly, it's a little bird!"

Suddenly hearing the girl's voice, the changed family looked into the distance, and there were birds hovering in the sunlight.The man and the woman lead the girl, and the whole family happily follows the birds, sinking into the rays of the sun.

The rays of the sun dissipate, and the ceremony is over.Zhao Mi felt a little tired, and stretched out his hand to support the Dharma table. A few tears fell on the back of his hand, and his vision was blurred.

"Thank you, little friend Zhao Shu." Duke Hengbi's voice came to his ears with the wind: "The souls of the dead have been at peace after being refined. From now on, they will follow me to protect the peace of the town. Please also rest in peace of mind."

"It's okay." Zhao Mi wiped away tears: "Over the years, I've gotten used to it."

"This place is where the soul is being saved and the mandala is safe. You can rest for a while before going to the next place." Mr. Hengbi didn't say anything more, and the breeze blew away from his ears.

Sighing lightly, Zhao Mi packed up the objects, and not far away, Jiang Ru crossed her chest and watched, seeing Zhao Mi's eyes were slightly red, and said with a smile, "Why? So Zhao Fuli can cry too?"

Zhao Mi sniffled: "Why not?"

"It's just some dead souls. If you put your mind too deeply, you can't extricate yourself." Jiang Ru reminded: "If there are too many obsessions because of the dead, it will not be good for cultivating immortals and learning Taoism."

"Thank you for letting me know." Zhao Mi cupped his hands expressionlessly, and when he turned his head, he saw several elderly people watching from a nearby village, but they didn't dare to approach.

"Is there something for the old men?" Zhao Mi stepped forward and asked.

"Is the immortal chief coming from Yanze City?" The old man saluted.

"That's right." Zhao Mi saw that their faces were hungry and their clothes were shabby, and he wanted to have a hard time.

The old man said in a low voice: "We are here to beg the elder, can you borrow some food from the county master... so that I can wait for the current season."

Zhao Mi didn't answer immediately, he looked up and found that the rice fields in the distance were green and green. Thinking about it carefully, it happened to be the time when the crops were green and yellow. For the rural villages that have experienced banditry, the food reserves must have been robbed long ago. These days are the hardest.

"How much do you lack? I can report to the county government." Zhao Mi asked.

Several old people stretched out their hands to calculate for a while, Zhao Mi took out a pen and paper, and wrote while listening.Then he turned around and found Jiang Ru, and handed her a copy of the letterhead: "Ask your people to send this letter to Yanze City quickly, and dispatch a batch of grain."
