Chapter 9

Before Zhao Mi and Luo Xixian saw the Baopu Pavilion, they saw a cloud of five colors swirling around from a distance, covering the top of the mountain like a canopy.The ice and snow in the mountains reflect the light, and the whole mountain range is surrounded by auspicious clouds.

"As expected of the first seat in the Huaiying Hall." Luo Xixian admired and praised: "The five qi are covered, and the auspicious glow is bright. If you can cultivate to this level, you can count them on one hand when you look at the Huaxu country."

Zhao Mi remained silent, quietly activated the Yingxuan Illuminating Scenery Technique, saw the light flowing, and asked Lingxiao secretly in his mind: "What do you think?"

"Looking at the weather, although Zhang Duanjing hasn't attained longevity, he is still forming a womb fairy and transforming his body." Lingxiao said: "Luo Xixian doesn't understand the mystery, the five-color cloud is not a canopy, but the Dharma-protecting cloud seat for the womb fairy to come out of the body. "

"Fetal immortal out of body?" Zhao Mi didn't understand.

"All the gods in the body are full of thoughts, and they gather together with the true energy to form a fetal fairy." Ling Xiao said: "The cultivation base has reached this point, and the physical body has gradually lost its turbidity and mortal nature. , there are two ways to go.

One is that the fetal immortal enters the brain palace, warms and nurtures it, grows up to be the emperor of the emperor, and the whole palace is full of thousands of real and holy people, who follow the sky and the earth.The second is to abandon the physical body, travel out of the body of the fetal immortal, and use the three lights and five qi, the treasures of heaven and earth to refine them into a true form and dharma body. "

Zhao Mi asked, "Teacher, did he go the second way?"

"good."

"Which of these two paths is better?" Zhao Mi was curious.

"It can't be measured simply." Ling Xiao said: "The Immortal Family of Longevity has both form and spirit. When gathered together, it takes shape, and when dispersed, it becomes Qi. Besides, all things are made of Qi, and the two paths lead to the same end in the end. Both are to prove the way of immortality."

Zhao Mi turned to ask: "You once said that your true form and dharma body were cut off, did you also take the second path?"

"No." Lingxiao denied it very simply: "I have proved the way of immortality, and the two roads are one road for me. I have a palace to follow the heavens and the earth, and the sun and the moon to move by itself, and I have created a real essence and jade palace; Create a body, condense the clouds and condense the Qi to refine the true form and dharma body."

Zhao Mi was taken aback: "Wait? Zhenyuan Yufu is your original body?"

Lingxiao's tone was flat: "Don't make a fuss. Since ancient times, the Celestial Immortal Mansion in Dongtian was formed by the luck and transformation of true qi. You used the talisman of true qi to form the true shape of a god and tiger, and the foundation of metaphysics is consistent with it. When you achieve the immortal way, your body will naturally transform into a mortal body." Condensed, you can't look at it with a mortal body."

"That's true." Zhao Mi asked: "What is the body that is born inside the body? I have heard that there is a body outside the body. It is a profound technique of fractal change."

"Born within the body, you are the fetal fairy." Lingxiao explained tirelessly: "But in my state, the fetal fairy has grown up, and the real form and dharma body come and go, flying clouds and electricity, riding the sky and lingering, traveling between the heavens and the earth. Feel free to do whatever you want. If I hadn’t been murdered, I’m afraid I’d have taken Dongtian Immortal Mansion with me.”

Before Zhao Mi reached the realm, he half understood what he heard: "Then why do you say that as long as you return to the cave, you can rebuild your true form and body? Can't you rely on external energy like the teacher?"

"You are a man, some things are inexplicable and mysterious." Ling Xiao said bluntly: "Let's think about it this way, conceiving a fetus is similar to a woman's pregnancy. The Zhenyuan Yufu is the mother's body. When I return to it, I will naturally be alive Nurturing and nurturing the original source, it is not only easier to re-cultivate the true form and dharma body, but the foundation of longevity can also maintain the authenticity, without loss or bias."

"Ah..."

Zhao Mi really felt a little weird and awkward, forming a celestial body and refining the real shape, it was like giving birth to another self.

Sensing Zhao Mi's thoughts, Lingxiao said bluntly: "This kind of thing is still far away for you, so you don't need to delve into it too much. Even if it is Zhang Duanjing, it is still a long time before he can become a real body. There is a long way to go, and in the common language, it is only a half-immortal achievement. He is just trying to form a Dharma-protecting cloud seat, and the fetal immortal still needs to be condensed in the flesh."

"Oh, the first seat is done."

Luo Xixian's voice interrupted Zhao Mi's communication with Lingxiao. Looking up, the five-colored clouds covering the top of the mountain drifted away, the surrounding light returned to normal, and the path leading to Baopu Pavilion was also exposed.

Zhao and Mi came to the Baopu Pavilion along the stone steps. Zhang Duanjing, the first one, sat upright. In front of him was a staggered gold inlaid jade boshan furnace, and purple smoke rose up. The strange fragrance lingered inside and outside the pavilion, which was very extraordinary.

"First seat, I brought Zhao Mi." Luo Xixian cupped his hands outside the pavilion.

Zhang Duanjing put his hands on his knees: "There is an important matter right now. There are bandits in the northwest of Xingluo County who are in rebellion. They invaded the counties, attacked and killed the chiefs, and plundered the treasury. The imperial court plans to summon troops to wipe out the bandits. All the halls must send people. participate."

"Is the teacher going to send me there?" Zhao Mi asked.

Zhang Duanjing glared at Zhao Mi: "After half a year of quiet practice, hasn't this kind of flamboyant temperament worn away?"

Zhao Mi rubbed the back of his head, thinking that if he hadn't been sent to participate, there was no need for Luo Xixian to come to him.If there is any miscellaneous business, the paper crane will send a letter to the cave gate.

"Luo Xixian, you will lead the manpower of the Huaiying Pavilion." Zhang Duanjing said, "You will also arrange the specific manpower, supplies, money and food."

Luo Xixian was a little surprised when he heard this, it was clearly giving him power to act.

The museums not only teach the cultivation of skills and techniques, but the students and old officials of each museum have their own forces in the court and the central region, and their teeth are intertwined. It is no secret in today's Huaxu country.

Not all the students in the museum will spend their entire lives studying magic techniques and cultivating the truth, and there are quite a few who do not become officials after practicing.

The matter of exterminating thieves and bandits does not seem to be a big deal, but when it comes to local areas, there are often many places where they intervene. It is also a consistent measure to extend one's own manpower to the past.

"The first seat." Luo Xixian asked: "Is there any specific purpose for this arrangement by the imperial court?"

"What the imperial court thinks is nothing more than the place where the law can be enforced." Zhang Duanjing said: "Don't think that the people in the Chongxuan Hall represent the imperial court because the Chongxuan Pavilion is just next to Dongsheng Capital. The country is the country, and the family is in front of the country. If the Chongxuan Pavilion is allowed to handle affairs, then the banditry in Xingluo County may last for a long time."

Zhao Mi didn't speak, and Luo Xixian had a complicated expression: "That is to say, the imperial court needs to balance the domestic museums, so it asked each family to send people to participate."

Zhang Duanjing nodded slightly: "In addition, the bandits in Xingluo County may also collude with the local monsters to try to mine Yinghuoshi."

As the name suggests, Xingluo County is the place where the stars fall.It is rumored that in the ancient times, the meteorite fell in the northeast of Kunlun Continent, and the terrain changed drastically, forming a vast inland sea.

Later, I don't know how many years later, someone excavated a strange ore in the mountains around the Inner Sea, which was as red as fire, crystal clear and warm.After investigation by learned people, it was determined that it was a fragment of an ancient meteorite, and it was named Yinghuoshi.

Yinghuoshi is violent in nature and contains fire properties, and it is a wonderful product of stone medicine for refining outer alchemy.Even if it is not used as a medicine for the alchemy, the fire property contained in the Yinghuo Stone is also a heaven and earth treasure for sacrificial and refining magic weapons.

Zhao Mi was puzzled: "Why do monsters and thieves mine Yinghuoshi? If you are not careful, this thing will explode by itself. It has always been difficult to mine. Even if the price is expensive, they, as thieves, have nowhere to sell it."

Luo Xixian interjected: "Going north from Xingluo County, crossing Panlong Mountain is Xuanming Kingdom. There are many non-human races in Xuanming Kingdom. I'm afraid bandits and monsters are selling the Yinghuo Stone to Xuanming Kingdom!"

"Hey, I've raised my profile right now." Zhao Mi said with a smile, "In the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, the Xuanming Kingdom was beaten the worst, and Beilu was even burned to the ground. They are preparing supplies. , Are you ready for revenge?"

"This is also the situation you want to investigate." Zhang Duanjing looked at Luo Xixian: "Zhao Mi will be your deputy."

"Yes." Luo Xixian answered with a bow.

Zhao Mi said, "Oh, I'm worried about messing things up. Teacher, why don't you choose someone else?"

"The southern corner of the cave needs to arrange a rotating manpower, why don't you stay there for a few years?" Zhang Duanjing said.

The Jiaofei Grotto is an old site after the Great War of the Five Kingdoms. In the past, the Jiuli Kingdom sent troops to invade the Huaxu Kingdom. Among them was a tribe that was good at controlling snakes. They drove countless poisonous snakes and giant pythons to secretly It was difficult to resist the attack on the soldiers of the Huaxu National Army.

For this reason, the Huaxu Kingdom invited monks who lived in seclusion in the East China Sea, sacrificed the magic weapon of the fairy family, split the ground into caves, sealed off thousands of snakes and their controllers, and let them fight each other.As a result, in the end, there was a horned pheasant that devoured all of its kin, and even secretly ate away the spirit energy in the magic weapon, so that it was hundreds of feet long and had fleshy wings on its back.

In order to stabilize the seal of the Jiaolu Cave, the Huaxu Kingdom arranges monks to bless and protect it every few years, but it is far away from human habitation, poor mountains and rivers, and has always been regarded as a place of exile.

When Zhao Mi heard this, he immediately raised his head and chest up: "Xingluo County is an important place in northern Xinjiang, how can we tolerate monsters spying and thieves running rampant? Students should be duty-bound!"

Zhang Duanjing closed his eyes and disappeared, Luo Xixian put his hand on his forehead.

……

"Leader, leave the manpower arrangement to me. Do you, Master Zhao, have any advice?"

Leaving Baopu Pavilion and returning to Guanxi, Luo Xixian's expression became a little more relaxed.

Zhao Mi asked: "Ask me about this? You obviously have a lot of friends with Luo Dajianxian. You got some jade creams, body lotions, and lavender kits outside, and sent them to the women's courtyard at any cost. A few hundred taels of silver will cost me my life, how dare I teach you!"

"That's what I said, the first seat let you be my deputy, so going back to Xingluo County will lose your benefits?" Luo Xixian patted his chest.

Zhao Mi rolled his eyes: "Benefits? Let me be clear first, what are your plans for going to Xingluo County?"

"The location of Xingluo County is too important. This time, the imperial court actually moved the idea of ​​rectifying local officials and suppressing officials and dignitaries. Suppressing bandits and demons is just a pretext." Luojun stand still."

When Zhao Mi heard this, his expression was serious: "Are you planning to start your own business? Can your father agree?"

Luo Xixian put his arm on Zhao Mi's shoulder: "I just want to find a way for myself. An excellent concubine may not be reused. The Huaiying Pavilion is good, but it is still under the roof of others."

Zhao Mi was noncommittal, he was not from a wealthy family like Luo Xixian, and the unspeakable secrets were not known to outsiders like him.Unless Luo Xixian spoke up on his own initiative, Zhao Mi would not ask more questions.

"Arranging manpower, right?" Zhao Mi said while thinking, "Since we are dealing with thieves and monsters, people who are good at predicting the weather are naturally indispensable. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to find them if they escape into the mountains."

Zhao Mi understood that what he had to deal with this time was not a solitary spirit like Lishan Demon Vine, but a group of powerful monsters colluding with bandits.My own Yingxuan lighting technique can understand the flow of air flow in the surrounding area, but it is difficult to distinguish the spiritual weather in the vast area far away.

"We want to go together! So at this time, we must invite Miss Xin who is proficient in weather forecasting." Luo Xixian raised his finger and pointed to the edge of the corridor in the distance, where there happened to be a few women leaning on the railing to enjoy the snow.

Zhao Mi saw a young woman wrapped in a vermilion cloak, holding a book in her hand, chatting and laughing with others.

"Xin Shunying?" Zhao Mi recognized this person: "Are you planning to take her to Xingluo County?"

"Do you still remember the White-headed Gong's cave half a year ago?" Luo Xixian raised his chin and said, "She was the first to notice the brilliance of the cave."

Practicing Zhanhou Wangqi is no different than others, and often requires more unique talents.This type of magic has a long history, from oracle bone yarrow, surveying mountains and rivers, to looking up at the stars, looking down at the earth's veins, all kinds of magic derivation, pointing and positioning are also included.

It is precisely because of this that since ancient times, people who are good at predicting weather and weather will be valued by emperors and dignitaries.Whether it is observing astronomical and astrological phenomena to formulate calendars, guide farming, or find dragons and acupuncture points, and arrange mausoleums and private houses.Even on the battlefield, Master Zhanhou can judge the general position of the enemy through the technique of gazing.Not to mention that when ordinary people encounter difficulties, they are also willing to ask divination.

"I vaguely remember that the ancestor of Xin Shunying was the Master Zhanhou of the Tianxia Dynasty." Zhao Mi said: "Their family has a long and long inheritance, and they know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They moved their family to Dongshengdu early to avoid There have been several big fights. If you take her to Xingluo County for an adventure, will she agree?"

"Master Zhao, this matter is up to you!" Luo Xixian patted Zhao Mi on the shoulder, his eyes gleaming.

"Wait, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Mi elbowed Luo Xixian hard: "You can't talk about him, so let me drag him into the water? You are a good man, and I will be a villain? With you as a friend Is it?"

Luo Xixian is strong and strong, and there is nothing wrong with being elbowed: "It can't be helped, Miss Xin looks down on a martial artist like me. But I heard from the teacher of the women's courtyard that Miss Xin is quite familiar with your spells." Praise."

"What? You want to ask me for a charm again?" Zhao Mi stared: "Don't bring such a charm! Last time I worked so hard to carve a sun-ray talisman into the Yunliang stone, intending to replace the oil lamp for lighting, you just turn around and give it away Good friend. Do you think I'm a fairy treasure bag? I can take out whatever you want?"

"This time I won't let you help for nothing!" Luo Xixian took out a kit from his bosom and stuffed it into Zhao Mi's hand: "Don't say I didn't take care of my old friend, this is my reward for beheading General Gutless."

Zhao Mi opened the kit, and a misty aura came out. It was full of pearls, and each one was plump and smooth. It looked extraordinary at first glance.
