Chapter 166

"Build the mandala in these places."

Zhao Mi pointed to the map of counties and counties hanging on the wall, in which the places where mandala were placed were marked in cinnabar ink, dotted in several counties in the south.More than [-]% of the mandala is located in the former site of ghosts and gods who were destroyed before.

"For the place where the mandala is to be built, I have gone to the officials at all levels of the county to ask them to clear out the open space and arrange dispatches, manpower, sand, bricks and other things." Zhao Mi picked up a scroll and said to the monks of the Jiangzhen Hall Yan said: "The shapes and structures of the various utensils in the mandala are all in the "Essentials on the Altar" I wrote earlier, and I have also personally instructed you on the method of sacrificial refining."

After Zhao Mi returned to Jianjia Pass, Xu Zhouzi led a group of monks from the Jiangzhen Hall to control the plague in the pass. Out of control situation.

Now that the severe winter is coming, the cold and heat are uncertain, which is the season of the epidemic.According to past habits, once a major epidemic occurs in the local area, although the government of the Huaxu Kingdom government also provides relief, most of them are helpless against the plague.

If it was the former Zhao Mi, there was actually not much he could do. He was successful in his own cultivation, so he was naturally not afraid of the evil spirits of ordinary plagues.

But the current Zhao Mi is no longer simply assisting General Wei to sit in Jianjiaguan, but also acting as the governor of several counties.General Wei was fighting outside the pass, and Zhao Mi's official documents sent to several counties in the pass were stamped with the general's seal.

Moreover, after experiencing the opening of altars in Qingyan County and the annihilation of the elite of Jiuli in Dantu County, Zhao Shu's authority is growing day by day.In addition, the news that Gao Pinggong's son failed to sue for an official and was thrown from the city tower by Zhao Mi spread in the market, which made the saying "Marquis of Zhao is like a thunderbolt; get an edict, but hang on the wall" appeared in several counties in the south.

Zhao Mi has no intention to clarify these rumors now. Since he has the power in his hands, he took the opportunity to promote his idea and ordered several counties in the south to change all the original ghost sacrifices into mandala. Rituals and rituals are used to absorb the plague and eliminate catastrophe.

Back then in Xingluo County, although Zhao Mi had the assistance of Hengbi Gong and Liang Shuo, he still had to set up mandalas everywhere by himself.Now that Xu Zhouzi led the monks from the Jiangzhen Hall to fully support him, Zhao Mi could order the local officials with a handwritten letter, so he didn't have to travel around to work.

"The evil spirit of the plague is permeating the wilderness. It is obvious that Jiuli Kingdom is unwilling to defeat Gandantu County." Xu Zhouzi looked at the map of counties and counties, and couldn't help worrying, "I'm just afraid that after setting up mandalas this time and practicing the law to suppress the plague, they will come again. What kind of treacherous and unpredictable means have been used, which makes people hard to guard against."

Zhao Mi nodded: "So I plan to use the altars of several counties to try to counterattack the Jiuli Kingdom after I practice the method to suppress the plague. I will discuss this matter with General Wei to help the troops ahead."

"Okay, Marquis Zhenming's method is very wonderful." Xu Zhouzi looked around at the disciples: "You all understand? Now that the epidemic is prevalent, people are dying and people are dying, no one is allowed to slack off in the slightest!"

All the disciples stood up and responded: "Obey!"

After sending away everyone in the Jiangzhen Pavilion, Zhao Mi rushed to the Jinding Division. Zheng Siyuan handed over a few heart mirrors with amulets engraved on the inside, and he asked, "Deacon Zhao, can you see if this curse-removing talisman is feasible?" ?”

Zhao Mi looked at it for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, let's do it this way."

Recently, General Wei has won several attacks on the front line, and the Jiuli army has repeatedly retreated. Among them, Wu Zhu began to use the method of witchcraft to suppress nightmares, trying to target the generals of Huaxu Kingdom.

It has to be said that the Wu Zhu of Jiuli Kingdom is indeed highly skilled. Immediately, a brave cavalry captain vomited blood and died violently in front of the battle. There was no warning when the incident happened, causing a lot of panic in the army.

Although most of the generals and schools in the army received amulets issued by the Jinding Division before going on an expedition, the Jiuli Witch Zhu's spells and methods are also weird and changeable, Zhao Mi and the others have to think about countermeasures.

"The lieutenant colonel is almost equipped with spells. If Jiuli Wuzhu drives ordinary ghosts and ghosts to try to invade the body and kill, it is destined to be difficult to work." Zhao Mi knocked on the heart mirror and said: "If I guessed correctly, the other party should It used the method of extracting blood to cast a curse. The cavalry captain of our army was fighting in front of the formation, and it was inevitable that he would be injured and bleed, so it gave the enemy a chance to cast the curse of Nightmare Town."

Taking something close to someone's body, or using nails, hair, and blood to smear the puppet as a medium, to cast a curse on the nightmare is a long-standing magic trick, which has been passed down to the princes and relatives of the past dynasties, down to the warlocks and rural gods. , almost everyone knows a thing or two about it.

As for whether this method can accurately kill people, it not only depends on the ability of the caster, but also the person receiving the spell may not be afraid of the nightmare curse.

Needless to say, if you are successful in cultivating immortals, those with advanced realms have lives beyond the limit of energy, and if you dare to curse such an expert, you are more likely to backfire on yourself.As for the distinguished princes and noble relatives, they either have extraordinary fortunes and unfinished lives, and curses are useless, or they are enshrined in the protection of masters.

The Tianxia Dynasty established the lineage of Secret Zhuguan to divert disaster energy for the emperor, isolate curses, and put an end to Nightmare Town.Compared with officials from outside courts like praise officials and cursing bansheng, Secret Zhu officials belonged to the close ministers of the inner court, who could enter and leave the palace at will, and were more trusted by the emperor.

"But the kind of soldiers who have been killed on the battlefield for a long time have a fierce aura, so it is said that the curse of Nightmare Town will not take effect easily," Zheng Siyuan said puzzled.

Zhao Mi thought about it and said, "The curse of Nightmare Town may have borrowed the power of the gods. I have also encountered it outside Dantu County, and I was lucky enough to resist it with the help of the mandala enchantment."

Zheng Siyuan couldn't help worrying: "So, there are gods behind Jiuli Kingdom to help? But why do they sit and watch General Wei advance step by step? The method of cursing Nightmare Town is too roundabout, it's better to show up and take action."

"Perhaps they have other scruples." Zhao Mi didn't figure it out: "This curse-relieving heart mirror has to be sacrificed quickly, and every person above the lieutenant will have one piece, and it will be given to the front line first. If there is any surplus, it will be distributed to the people in Guancheng. General."

"Yes."

Zhao Mi asked again: "Is the Jinding Division short of manpower and spiritual materials?"

Zheng Siyuan replied: "The Chongxuan Pavilion sent another group of disciples here a few days ago, and they have their own arrangements for refining medicine with calligraphy and talismans. In terms of spiritual materials, others can still support it, but the fragrance medicine has indeed bottomed out."

Zhao Mi scratched his hair with some annoyance: "I also know about this. In order to suppress the evil spirit of the plague on the front line and Guancheng, all kinds of fragrant medicines were burned and consumed almost at any cost. The treasury in Dongsheng Capital was almost destroyed. I emptied it all in one go, and the imperial court has ordered the nationwide collection, but the haste may not be enough.”

In addition, Zhao Mi has recently received successive orders from the imperial court urging the Wukui army to speed up their march.The main reason is that although Wu Kui's army has occasional victories, it lacks a big victory that can completely defeat the Jiuli Kingdom.

This is why Zhao Mi chose to completely annihilate the elite raiders of the Jiuli Kingdom in Dantu County. A big victory can not only shake the morale of the enemy army, but also cope with the frequent urging of the court officials.

Returning to the mansion full of troubles, Zhao Shu had just stepped into the inner hall when he raised his eyes and saw Liang Tao's back. He was looking at the map of counties and counties on the wall and kept nodding.

"The upper part should seal the stars, the lower part should connect the divisions of the land, connect the heavenly gang and the earth evil, and condense the five qi of yin and yang. They should be listed in an orderly manner, and there is no such thing as a big mind." Liang Tao said with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Shu turned around and closed the door, and said with a frown: "Master Guoshi is absurd. Most of these altars are built on the former sites of adulterous sacrifices. After all, ghosts and spirits also like to use the spiritual acupoints where the aura is raised. Or is it your arrangement in the first place?"

"Oh? Explain?" Liang Tao turned around, picked up the scroll on the table, and saw "Nine Heavens Ziwen Dan Zhang" in a stack of letters, which were filled with Zhao Mi's personal opinions and research experience , couldn't help raising the eagle eyebrows slightly.

"You said that you want me to help you arrange the mandala, but so far there is no arrangement." Zhao Mi said, "I've thought about it, and with your state, you won't come to me only when the situation is critical. In the past few decades , Master Guoshi, you must have made all kinds of attempts. The ghost sacrifices in several counties in the south are the preparations you have made in advance for the Dao Kingdom on earth.

In your imagination, the Taoist kingdom on earth regulates the energy of the heaven and the earth, the cavernous sky is like an imperial capital, and the blessed land in the world can be compared to a large city everywhere, and the spiritual acupoints and air holes formed by the scattered energy of the earth veins are many beacon towers, fortresses, Station post booth.If I hadn't disrupted the situation, these promiscuous ghosts and gods would all be immortal officials and generals under your command in the future, right? "

Liang Tao flipped through the notebook and asked with a smile: "Since you said that, do I want to hold you accountable for disrupting the situation?"

"I didn't figure it out before, I thought you were just out to protect the Chongxuan Pavilion, and punished all those prostitutes and ghosts with peerless slander." Zhao Mi slowly shook his head: "Later, I gradually figured it out. , You just found a better way to replace this group of obscene ghosts and gods, so you drove them out without hesitation.

These promiscuous ghosts and gods seem to take the initiative to attach themselves to the Chongxuan Pavilion, but they are arranged by you to guard the acupoints and acupoints of various places on your behalf. They are used by people without knowing it, and they also serve the children of the Chongxuan Pavilion in order to protect themselves.If I'm not mistaken, when you were patrolling the border with your sword, you had already conceived the idea of ​​a Taoist kingdom on earth. "

Liang Tao raised his eyes to look at Zhao Mi, and there was indeed a bit of admiration in his eyes: "How did you think of this?"

"Recently, the plague has been raging in several counties in the south. You don't know about it." Zhao Mi sighed: "The means of evil witches to send plague, not to mention now, Tianxia Dynasty has it. I couldn't do anything before, but now I want to do what I can. What, you can’t just sit back and watch the people die by the side of the road, but you can’t do anything. Although the prostitution is destroyed, the righteous way has not been practiced, if others don’t do it, then I will do it!”

Seeing Zhao Mi's high spirits, Liang Tao reminded him, "I see your complexion now, and your injury is still not healed. If you insist on practicing the law, aren't you afraid of damaging the Dao foundation?"

"The matter has come to this point, and I can't take care of everything." Zhao Shu's injuries outside Dantu County have mostly healed, and he can still perform some spells, but the movement of Qi is still a bit stuck.

"There is one thing I don't understand." Liang Tao rarely took the initiative to ask for advice: "Back then when you set up a mandala in Xingluo County to pray for disasters and eliminate disasters, you still had to rely on the magic power of Lord Hengbi. Now there are ghosts and gods in several counties in the south. So, how are you going to practice the law?"

"Practice the law with the power of ghosts and gods, because ghosts and spirits connect mountains and rivers. If you are in charge of one side, you will be in the same breath as heaven and earth." Zhao Mi said: "However, tracing its origin and development, the true shape of a side of the earth is inherent in the law. , Only in this way can we conform to the mountains and rivers and instigate the vitality. In this case, we might as well follow the law and the good fortune of the heaven and the earth to construct the talisman map."

Liang Tao had a playful expression: "Continue talking."

Zhao Mi said: "Back then in the Yingzhou meeting, the master of the state teacher did everything he could to present a picture of mountains and rivers. I think he has already seen the true shape of the land of Huaxu country."

In fact, it was not Zhao Mi who first noticed it, but in the process of studying "Nine Heavens Ziwen Danzhang", Lingxiao discovered that this talisman has been studied to the depths, and it can evolve all phenomena with spiritual scripts and seals.

Lingxiao believes that Qingya Zhenjun achieved immortality and opened up caves, and the "Nine Heavens Feixuan Ziqi Zhenwen Baolu" is the result of his enlightenment.The successors of the descendants of later generations can teach the Dharma, in addition to chasing the ancestors of the immortals, after ascending, they can also enrich the good fortune of the cave.

And even if Liang Tao doesn't want to fly to the Qingya Wonderland, he can still participate in nature for a long time in the mortal world, accumulate years of deep cultivation, and open up a cave by himself.From Lingxiao's point of view, the immortal law handed down by True Monarch Qingya is not to be stubbornly guarding the family court, and not allow future generations to change it in the slightest.

It's just that Liang Tao's desires are too great, and he can't be satisfied with just being a fairy.

"You cast a talisman at Jianjiaguan to set a ban. Apart from guarding against snakes, insects and evil spirits, your real intention is probably to connect the talisman with the veins of the earth." Zhao Mi paused: "No, it should be said that the talisman you cast is more like a talisman. The seeds grow by the energy of the earth veins, and then take root in them.

If I'm not mistaken, you also did the same in other Fudi caves.But this method has a disadvantage, the talisman is not a real living thing after all, even if you write the talisman seal with the power of true energy, if you want to root and extend the land of a country, it may take thousands of years and it will be difficult to see the results.

What's more, once unexpected changes occur, the earth's veins are shaken, and the energy is out of order, you will have to waste all your previous efforts.So when you came to me, you hoped that I would instigate the energy of heaven and earth for you with scientific rituals, connect the talismans all over Huaxu country into one piece, and root them in the ground, just like farmers watering fertilization, not pulling seedlings to encourage growth. "

"Being able to say this shows that you have indeed penetrated the "Nine Heavens Ziwen Danzhang"." Liang Tao couldn't help but sigh: "I am at your age, and my cultivation level is higher than yours, but I don't have much insight into the use of spells. It must be deep with you."

Zhao Mi's face was expressionless, but he couldn't help feeling ashamed in his heart.His insights are not entirely on his own, and many of them are from Lingxiao's side.Hearing Liang Tao's words, he thought to himself that even if this Master of the State Teacher wanted to show a little modesty, he would still be somewhat ostentatious.

It's just that the higher the cultivation level and the deeper the insight, the more Zhao Mi was shocked by Liang Tao's intentional layout.Even though Liang Tao is such a greedy person, he can still spend more than sixty years slowly accumulating layouts.

In order to achieve his goal, he cleared and destroyed all the obstacles along the way.The rebellion of the three princes might ruin his plan, so he killed Qingming Gong with lightning speed; the prostitution of ghosts and gods could be replaced, and he was immediately abandoned like a trash, and killed together.

"Originally, I planned to let you do this after the war." Liang Tao put down the scroll, tapped the map, and said with a smile: "After all, I see that you are too busy to describe it, so it is not easy to force you It's too tight. I never thought about it, but it's beyond my expectation that you can make your own decisions."
