Kunlun one millet

Chapter 150

The second brother Yu heard Zhao Mi praise himself, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't get carried away: "If those people with shallow knowledge and flashy behavior take the map, I'm not afraid. But Zhenming Hou, you are very clever, even Lao Sanqian and other evil spirits who have been incensed for a long time, cunning and insidious, are all considered dead by you, we are really worried."

Hearing this, Zhao Mi couldn't help but cast a glance at Zhang Liwei, while the second elder brother crossed his arms and said, "You don't have to blame him, Marquis Zhenming. I followed you from afar to understand what happened. And by the way, I will tell you something One thing, besides me, someone else is following you secretly."

"Who?" Zhao Mi frowned.

"I haven't seen the description clearly. The other party hides in the ink cloud, is good at hiding, and can also make sword shadows like silk. He is a powerful person like a killer." Yu Erge said.

Hearing this report, Zhao Mi immediately knew that it was Jing Shi. He was looking around cautiously, and the second brother Yu laughed: "Don't worry, I have set up restrictions nearby, just to prevent people from prying."

Zhao Mi used Yingxuan's landscape photography technique to scan around, and found that there was an earthy yellow air on the ground in the forest, which was subtle and hard to detect.

"Stone Essence Cang Ying?" Zhao Mi immediately understood: "You are not practicing Chi Yundu's own method, but Houtu Palace's "Earth Emperor Wutu Jing"?"

"Marquis Zhenming is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he is indeed extraordinary." The second brother Yu said: "The inheritance of the Houtu Palace has been cut off for hundreds of years. Even in the Tianxia Dynasty, not many people knew about it. I didn't expect that Marquis Zhenming would immediately expose it." It's all over."

"Emperor Tian Houtu is the foundation of the ritual pattern of the mandala. How can a person who is proficient in scientific rituals know nothing?" Zhao Mi said bluntly: "It's just that I think your use of magic is somewhat specious. What you got The "Dihuang Wutu Jing" is either incomplete, or there are additions, deletions, and errors in the process of copying the scriptures."

The second elder brother was startled secretly, even though he had expected that Zhao Mi was not an ordinary person, but seeing through his own cultivation formulas and strangeness one after another, it was only this vision, even in Chiyundu, only the three elders were there He is above.

"It is true that the scriptures have been added or deleted, but they are not corrupted." The second brother Yu shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed and said, "The "Dihuang Wutu Jing" was accidentally obtained by the three elders when they were traveling around the world. Mr. Jing Ming added and deleted it. It makes it easier to practice and get started. As for things such as going to the underworld, going to the underworld, and setting up mountain prisons, etc., they are too difficult and obscure, and they are not useful for practical purposes, so they are not included in the teaching."

Zhao Mi was slightly surprised and said nothing. Adding and deleting the formulas to make it easier to get started is not something that everyone can do. One must have a clear understanding of the formulas themselves, otherwise the deviations will be corrected and the practitioners will go astray. , I'm afraid something bad will happen.

But Zhao Mi thought about it again, and felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Do you know Dongzhang Sanren?"

Second brother Yu nodded, no smile on his face: "Of course, he followed Yang Liujun to Xingluo County, and died in the conquest of your imperial court army."

"He dispelled the fire by himself, turned into a fire dragon, and desperately restrained the magic talisman general. He was not killed by anyone." Zhao Mi said, "I didn't understand at the beginning. Like the magical method of the immortal family that directly points to Changsheng Jiushi, could it be that Mr. Jing Ming modified it?"

"Of course." The second brother Yu smiled: "As for the longevity and long-term vision, the fairy family magic method, Zhenminghou, we don't have that kind of fairy fate. If it weren't for the guidance of the three elders, we would not even be able to get started. "

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Mi was puzzled.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the eyes of the second elder brother: "Marquis Zhenming, we are not the children of a well-to-do family, and we don't have any family traditions accumulated over many generations. Most of the monks in Chiyundu are from poor backgrounds, and many of them were even poor when they first started. Illiterate, following Chi Yundu is the only way to live a human life.

Chi Yundu said back then that there were millions of soldiers and civilians, but Marquis Zhenming, do you really think that we can live a prosperous life?There are not many magical treasures and tonic elixir in Chiyun.Do you think we can really succeed in cultivation without Mr. Jing Ming adding and deleting formulas? "

Zhao Mi remained silent. He used to envy Liang Shuo's extraordinary background in a family of immortals, and he also felt that apart from praising the inheritance of officials and families, he actually didn't have much wealth background that far surpassed others.What's more, most of the people who can enter the museum to study and practice are from high-ranking families, Zhao Mi is also used to this.

But now, after hearing the words of the second brother Yu, and looking at the appearance of the other countryman with short brown straw shoes, that vigorous and simple temperament cannot be faked, Zhao Mi realized that he had not really experienced the days of hunger and cold .

Even if I had been hungry for a few days when fleeing with my grandfather, I had seen others selling their children and selling their daughters, but that was just as a bystander, overlooking the suffering of the world from a high position.

As for going to the Huaiying Pavilion, although Zhao Mi had to practice hard under the teacher's instruction, he didn't have to worry about food, clothing, hunger and cold at all. The court also gave a large area of ​​land and manor to support the pavilion.

Even though Zhao Shu kept saying that studying magic arts, cultivating immortality and Taoism had no cause and effect with his family's wealth and poverty, he knew in his heart that the two were not completely unrelated.

A person who may not even be able to guarantee his livelihood tomorrow, what kind of spells and immortal cultivation are he talking about?Isn't it absurd?

Zhao Mi couldn't help but think of the experience in Chengyang County. Mr. Zhu who died in Wangmiaoshou was also a down-and-out casual cultivator. Didn't he still make a living by exorcising demons and exorcising evil spirits for local big households?

"But from my point of view, that Mr. Jing Ming adds and deletes spells in such a way that he only seeks the power of fighting and killing. I'm afraid it will not be of much benefit to immortality and longevity." Zhao Shu said: "Although I think my cultivation level is not enough. No matter how superb he is, Mr. Jingming has not yet become a fairy, otherwise he would not have been firmly suppressed by the Master of the State Teacher and shackled in Cangwu Ridge."

The second brother Yu was a little bit dissatisfied when he heard this, and then said: "Marquis Zhenming, what you said is really strange, when did we ask for immortality and longevity?"

Zhao Mi was stunned for a moment, and then heard the second elder brother be frank and casual: "Don't you think that the third elder recruited millions of soldiers and people to follow him by using immortal immortality as a temptation? My vision is shallow, can the third elder ascend to immortality?" , It is not something I can assert. But Mr. Zhanming said, 'It is easy for one person to become an immortal, but it is difficult for all people to enjoy life in heaven'.

Refining qi to preserve spirit, burning golden pills, taking sesame herbs, swallowing the sun and the moon, etc., are all for the sake of longevity. Of course, being clever is clever, but in the world, there is no benefit at all... Hehe, I am all about it if there is no benefit. On the bright side.In today's world, the Huaxu Kingdom can be regarded as the great prosperity of the Immortal Dao, but in fact, it requires the blood and sweat of thousands of people to worship. "

Zhao Mi had no choice but to respond reluctantly: "The establishment of the system of halls in the Huaxu Kingdom is not to waste people's energy to worship the monks, but to allow the monks to serve the country and protect the environment and the people. Externally guard against enemies and internally destroy evil spirits."

"Does Marquis Zhenming believe this?" Second Brother Yu asked back.

Zhao Mi had no choice but to talk about him: "The most important thing now is how to deal with the invasion of Jiuli Kingdom. If we can't defend at Jianjia Pass, the gates of the southern counties will be opened, and Jiuli Kingdom will attack the city aggressively, and Cangwu Ridge will be surrounded by many sides. I don’t believe that the Jiuli Congress ignores you, Chiyundu.”

"It doesn't bother Marquis Zhenming, we have our own countermeasures." Second Brother Yu said.

Zhao Mi thought over and over again, and decided to throw out a big news: "Then let me ask you something, do you know why the Jiuli Kingdom invaded so much this time?"

"For land and population, gold and silk goods, nothing more than that." Yu Erge said.

"There may be reasons for these reasons, but they are not the most important." Zhao Shu said, "Do you know about the Jiaofei Cave? The seal here is about to collapse, and the Jiuli Kingdom is mobilizing troops to rescue the inner demon king."

The second elder brother Yu's face changed slightly, and he said: "It is said that the Jiaofei Cave is a seal set by the magic weapon of the immortal family. Why is the seal about to loosen in less than a hundred years?"

"You can go back and ask that Mr. Jing Ming, maybe he knows why." Zhao Mi said casually, secretly testing the other party.

The second brother Yu was noncommittal, and Zhao Mi said: "As for the map of mountains and forests, please also ask fellow Taoist Yu to ask for clarification. Whether it is possible or not, give me an answer."

"Okay, I don't know how Marquis Zhenming plans to contact you?" Second Brother Yu asked.

"I will arrange for Zhang Liwei to visit outside on a regular basis, and let him deliver the message for you and me, so as not to arouse suspicion." Zhao Mi looked at Zhang Liwei, and the other party cupped his hands when he heard the words.

"Marquis Zhenming is thoughtful, I have seen it before." Second Brother Yu praised.

Zhao Mi said: "Okay, the sky will be bright, and you and I should not stay here for a long time."

"I don't know how Marquis Zhenming plans to deal with those escaped prisoners?" Second Brother Yu said, "I saw them before I came here, they are nothing more than a group of men who can't stand hard labor."

"If possible, try to take them back to Jianjia Pass. Whether they are right or wrong, I have to judge in public before I can deal with it." Zhao Mi said with a straight face: "But I also want to persuade fellow Taoists that they can be exiled into the army. Prisoners are not necessarily good people who have been wronged. Just like Yang Liujun in Xingluo County, he once indulged bandits to plunder and commit murder."

The second brother Yu nodded slowly, the meaning was unclear: "In this case, I will stay soon. Farewell!"

……

"The Horned Cave?"

In Cangwu Ridge, Mr. Huai Ming's eyes were wide-eyed, and he said half-shocked and half-suspiciously: "I said why this time the Jiuli Kingdom mobilized all the witches, and it is rumored that even Fengju ten witches were mobilized. It's just that the people of the Jiaofei Cave The seal has always been strengthened and guarded, how could it be about to collapse?"

Next to him, Mr. Jing Ming caressed the blindfolded cloth strip: "The seal of the Jiaobo Cave was not made with the help of the energy of the earth's veins, but with the magic weapon of the fairy family to suppress countless snakes and insects. Let the snakes and insects fight each other in the seal, filthy and bloody, Violence and evil spirits are filled inside, and the fresh air of the fairy spirit is polluted, and it will inevitably dissipate with the flow of external heaven and earth energy. This seal is destined to be short-lived. I am afraid that the horned monster of the demon king is also eating away at the charm of the magic weapon. The effectiveness of the prohibition will take a sharp turn for the worse."

"The demon king horned beetle may be fierce, but it is impossible for the Huaxu country to sit back and watch such a monster come out." Mr. Huai Ming judged the situation and said: "Once the Jiuli kingdom subdues this demon king, it will definitely not withdraw its troops and stop fighting. Back then Liang Tao Showing off your skills by the Cangshui River, I am afraid that you still have the intention to deduce the formation and frighten Jiuli."

Mr. Jing Ming shook his head slowly: "Jiuli Kingdom will not retreat easily. I vaguely feel that Fengju Ten Witches are shining with divine light, which may have a great connection with this horned monster king."

"The shamanism of the Jiuli Kingdom is blazing, flattering ghosts and gods, and there are too many sacrifices to eat blood." Mr. Huai Ming muttered with his hands behind his hands: "If they say that they want to summon a certain demon god to come down to the world, I don't think it's surprising. What if If the situation has really evolved to this point, it will definitely lead to a catastrophe, and the Cangwu Ridge is very close, and the Jiuli Kingdom still regards us as a hidden danger."

The second brother Yu asked, "Then how should I reply to Zhao Mi?"

Mr. Huai Ming said: "The map of mountains and forests can be given, but Zhao Mi can't take it for nothing. You go and tell him that Chi Yun needs a batch of medicine, salt and iron. If he can get it from Zhenming Hou, Chi Yun can provide it. Detailed map."

Brother Yu knew very well that Chi Yundu had a hard time living in Cangwu Ridge.The high mountains and dangerous terrain can certainly stop the Huaxu army from conquering, but there are many mountains and few lands, so it is destined to be difficult to support a large number of manpower.The people's food lacked oil and salt, and the soldiers lacked armor in battle. It would not last long to save food and clothing alone, and they still had to get it from the outside world.

This is why Chiyun suffered heavy losses back then, and had to flee to Cangwu Ridge with his people. Mr. Huai Ming still made up his mind to send people to the surrounding villages, not only as spies to inquire about news, but also to raise money, food, salt and iron locally to make up for Cangwu Ridge is not enough.

It took Chi Yundu five or six years to manage a better situation in the surrounding villages, but now that the two countries are fighting each other and the borders are tightly guarded, it is inconvenient to transfer money, grain, salt and iron, and now they have to raise money.

"This..." Second Brother Yu hesitated: "Although Zhao Mi is willing to meet with me, I'm afraid he won't accept it easily if he is asked to take out a batch of medicine and iron salt."

Mr. Huai Ming said: "Once Zhao Mi obtains the map of mountains and forests, he will benefit immensely. It is far more than the current war. In the future, he will deal with the Jiuli Kingdom and even expand the territory. What we want is salt and iron medicine. It's a temporary need. Obviously he took advantage of it, if he doesn't even agree to this, it can be seen that this person is short-sighted and incompetent!"

"I understand." Brother Yu was about to leave, but Mr. Jing Ming stopped him and took out a list: "Here are the things we need, let Zhao Mi have a look at it first, if he agrees, then you will also save it." Make another trip."

The second brother Yu was secretly suspicious, and quickly put away the list.After he left, Mr. Huai Ming said: "Zhao Shu is more accomplished than I expected."

"Practicing the Dharma on the altar, sorting out the veins of the earth and penetrating the veins of the water are indeed promising." Mr. Jing Ming said.

"The ritual ceremony is his housekeeping skill, it's nothing." Mr. Huai Ming shook his head and said, "But it's really rare for him to venture alone with me, Chi Yundu. A big conspiracy, a long-term plan, or a person who acts sincerely."

"Aren't you talking about Zhang Duanjing?" Mr. Jing Ming reminded.

Mr. Huai Ming was slightly taken aback, and Mr. Jing Ming continued: "Zhao Mi is indeed Zhang Duanjing's relative. Now it seems that Zhang Duanjing did not disclose his contacts with us to Zhao Mi, but Zhao Mi himself tried to contact us. How are words and deeds similar to those in those days?"
