Kunlun one millet

Chapter 226

"Have you finished setting up the mandala?" Mr. Jing Ming swiped lightly, and the invisible flames rippling away, without hurting the vegetation, forming a barrier: "When you finish setting up the mandala, Liang Tao should ascend to the altar?"

"Yes." Zhao Mi only felt that his heart was overwhelmed by the weight of the weight, and watching the chaos gradually approaching could drive people crazy.

"Do you think Liang Tao can succeed?" Mr. Jing Ming asked again.

Zhao Mi sighed and said, "I can't say. Liang Tao is a living fairy family. I can't guess. But his current cultivation level is higher than before. I...I really can't say for sure."

Mr. Jing Ming motioned Zhao Mi to sit down, and lightly pressed the blindfold: "I can also see Liang Tao's cultivation level. As you set up mandalas in various parts of Huaxu Kingdom, he has gradually spread the Dao foundation." , turned into the sky and the earth, but it is hidden at this moment, and it is still unable to control the power of heaven and earth and the power of good fortune.

With such a situation, even Hong Xueke, the sword fairy of the East China Sea, who has become a fairy, probably cannot do it.This can only be accomplished by borrowing the method of Dongtian. Although Liang Tao has a high level of cultivation, he is still a descendant of Qingya Zhenjun. "

Zhao Mi remained silent, and Mr. Jing Ming nodded slightly: "I see, it seems that the changes in the sky are more severe than I expected. Do you assist Liang Tao in arranging the mandala, do you think he can change the current situation of Huaxu Kingdom?"

"It's not just the Huaxu country." Zhao Mi said seriously: "If possible, I hope this is an opportunity to end the troubled times and bring harmony to the world."

"But you pin your hope on Liang Tao." Mr. Jing Ming shook his head and said, "Have you ever thought that this move may not benefit the general public."

"Since the overthrow of Tianxia, ​​Kunlun has been turbulent for a hundred years. There is no peace, and the chaos has reached the extreme." Zhao Mi said: "What's more, if Liang Tao wants to ascend the altar, he will face the creation of the world and all living beings believe in their wishes. If he gives birth to selfishness at this time The heart will be melted on the altar immediately."

"You're gambling." Mr. Jing Ming said in a serious tone, "but now it's not just the Huaxu Kingdom who want to stop Liang Tao. Once Liang Tao ascends to the altar and grasps the fate of the world, even if it's just a corner of Kunlun Continent, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop again." No one can compete with him. At that time, I am afraid that all the masters in the sky and the earth will come to stop Liang Tao."

This situation was also expected by Zhao Mi, so he had no choice but to say: "Since Liang Tao has chosen to ascend to the supreme position, this is the doom he will face, and it cannot be avoided."

"What about you?" Mr. Jing Ming sighed softly: "The tribute officer seeks to benefit others, and you assist Liang Tao, which is regarded as an accomplice in the eyes of others, and even the tribute officer's inheritance is also tarnished."

"I have no way out." Zhao Mi said, "And didn't the teacher also get involved? I already know about Xingluo County's casting and refining of the divine sword."

Mr. Jing Ming was silent for a long time before he said: "Then you should be clear that we will not stay out of the matter. Even if it is to save fellow practitioners, we will take action. When Liang Tao ascends to the altar, you cannot avoid it."

Zhao Mi knew that when Liang Tao ascended to the altar in the future, he must wait nearby.In this way, in the eyes of most people, he is probably Liang Tao's loyal servant. If the masters of all parties want to besiege Liang Tao, he will have no way to escape.

"When it comes to that kind of occasion, I can only adapt to the situation." Zhao Mi sighed.

……

The night is like water, with occasional insects chirping.In a house in Jianjia Pass, Zhao Mi arranged a barrier to isolate it from prying eyes, and called Lu Wangji and Jiang Ru, holding a cirrus cloud jade talisman in his hand, and said:

"This is Yunyan Peak's Land Vein Exploration Agreement. I have already sacrificed it separately. With this talisman, I can activate the natural barrier around Yunyan Peak. Now I will leave it to you."

Lu Wangji took the jade talisman, and Zhao Mi went on to say, "I'll go to the Jiaobo Grotto to set up a mandala later, so don't follow me, and leave quietly in the dark."

"I'm not going." Lu Wangji shook his head lightly: "I never asked before, but I'm not ignorant. After you finish setting up the mandala in the corner cave, will there be a catastrophe?"

"I can't hide anything from you." Zhao Mi knew very well that Lu Wangji had a deep understanding of the world and people's hearts, but he was seldom involved in the world.

"The current situation is doomed to be a great chaos in the near future, and I have been deeply involved in it, unable to extricate myself." Zhao Mi said, "You are not a monk in the Huaxu Kingdom, and some things should not be involved too deeply. "

Lu Wangji's tone was soft but somewhat firm: "You have shown me a little kindness. Since you have to deal with the situation through calamity, I should be there to protect the Dharma, instead of rushing away when the situation is not good."

Zhao Mi smiled gratifiedly and said: "Friend Lu Daoist's words and deeds are consistent, and I know it too. So I handed over the Yunyan Peak's land vein survey to you, just to ask you to guard the retreat for me, in case I If things fail, at least there is a shelter."

Lu Wangji was silent for a moment, then nodded very seriously and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"But don't go to Yunyan Peak immediately." Zhao Mi said: "In the future, there may be a phenomenon of energy soaring to the sky. You have to wait for the phenomenon to subside before going there. Before that, you can go to Panlong Mountain to look for it. Mr. Hengbi, those otter monsters will introduce you to find shelter temporarily. If you don’t want to, you can also build a cave nearby to cleanse yourself.”

"I understand, let's prepare now." Lu Wangji got up and said.

Zhao Mi nodded, and after Lu Wangji went out, he flicked his fingers in the air, and the group of otter monsters sensed it, and all of them rushed into the room and kowtowed to Zhao Mi.

"You have contributed a lot by following me these days." Zhao Mi took a large lacquer box from Jiang Ru: "Inside are the pills and baits I prepared and refined, although they are not too delicate. , but it is suitable for you to breathe out the essence of the sun and the moon. In addition, there are several volumes of immortal law scriptures attached, if you can read them carefully, you will be able to transform into form in the future and improve your cultivation base."

The otters took the lacquer box carefully, and after a few obeisances, Zhao Shu said, "I will be a teacher and apprentice with you, and today I will show you the way forward—leave this place as soon as possible and return to Panlong Mountain. Don't ask about world affairs. If the world is stable and successful in ten years, you can go out and accumulate merits."

Dahei, the otter demon, asked in a crying voice: "Master, don't you want us?"

As soon as these words came out, all the otter demons also sobbed, and a few bold ones stepped forward and grabbed the hem of Zhao Mi's robe, apparently unwilling to leave Zhao Mi.

Zhao Mi couldn't bear to see them like this, but he knew that his catastrophe was coming, and these otter monsters would be implicated if they stayed by his side, so he said: "If you have the intention of immortality, don't act like a child. I will let Fellow Daoist Lu Let’s go back to Panlong Mountain together with you, take advantage of this night to leave Jianjia Pass, don’t show off yourselves along the way, and don’t stop any longer.”

When the otters heard this, they obediently obeyed. Zhao Mi waved his hand, and they reluctantly left the room.

After seeing off Lu Wangji and Otter Demon, Zhao Mi sat down on the couch as if exhausted, Jiang Ru closed the door and asked, "Are you arranging the funeral?"

"You saw it." Zhao Mi covered his face and sighed.

Jiang Ru said: "You don't want Lu Wangji and those little guys to get involved, and you deliberately push Lu Wangji away on the grounds of guarding your retreat."

"If I am caught in a murder, she will definitely take action." Zhao Mi said: "But in the future chaos, the experts from all sides in Kunlun Continent will intervene, and I can't even protect myself, so there is no need for her to be implicated for no reason .”

Jiang Ru asked coquettishly, "What about me?"

Zhao Mi took out the earth-shrinking talisman: "I'm afraid this is the only thing I can give you."

Jiang Ru smiled wryly, "Do you want me to run away? But how many people can be taken away by such an earth-shrinking talisman?"

"Based on your cultivation, there are only three or five people, and if you have more, you won't be able to run far." Zhao Mi said.

"Our Jiang family has its own way to deal with it, so we don't need Marquis Zhenming to worry about it." Jiang Ru wanted to tease a few words to comfort Zhao Mi, but saw the talisman in his hand trembling slightly.

Jiang Ru knew that Zhao Mi had experienced great storms, and his determination was definitely not comparable to that of a wealthy family, but at this moment he was trembling with fear. It is conceivable how uneasy he has become.

Seeing Zhao Mi like this, Jiang Ru stepped forward and took him into her arms, humming a soft song, stroking Zhao Mi's hair like taking care of a child.

Zhao Mi originally wanted to escape, but he is exhausted physically and mentally today, like a prisoner who is about to go to the execution ground, with boundless fear filling his heart.

Buried in Jiang Ru's arms, Zhao Mi didn't have the slightest thought. He rarely experienced a moment of peace, as if he was in the mother's womb again, without thinking about all the turmoil in the outside world.

They lived together peacefully overnight, and Zhao Mi returned to his usual expression the next day. The departure of Lu Wangji and Otter Demon didn't disturb anyone, and no one noticed anything unusual.

"Greetings to Marquis Zhenming!"

Zhao Mi was packing up the utensils on the altar, and Zheng Siyuan came to visit.

"You are really out of touch with what you said." Zhao Mi shook his head and said.

Zheng Siyuan quickly changed his words: "Meet Deacon Zhao!"

"That's right." Zhao Mi smiled and said, "What? Seeing how you are now, you are so busy that you didn't show up yesterday."

Zheng Siyuan showed shame: "This... is really a bit busy. I actually received a letter a long time ago regarding the layout of the mandala in the Jiaoba Cave. A lot of work."

"I've also heard about the situation in the Jiaofei Cave. It is said that there is a Kunlun jade pedestal inside?" Zhao Mi asked curiously.

Zheng Siyuan nodded and said: "At the beginning, the masters of the East China Sea sacrificed the immortal magic weapon Dinghaidou, split the ground into a cave, and sealed off countless snakes and insects. Although Dinghaidou is connected with the nearby mountains, most of the fairy spirits are dissipated, but Some of them regrouped at the bottom of the cave and formed a Kunlun jade pedestal. Xu Zhouzi, the head of the Jiangzhen Hall, personally inspected it and thought it was suitable for use as a Dharma altar."

"Okay, that's my plan too." As soon as Zhao Mi packed up his things, he heard the report from the outside, saying that the Chongxuan Hall sent another person to assist Zhao Mi.

The news came inexplicably and without warning, but when Zhao Mi saw the person coming, he was also shocked.

"Fellow Taoist Jing Shi?" Zhao Mi looked at Jing Shi who was wearing a half-covered face and a dark outfit, and immediately asked: "Long time no see, you... Could it be the injury left by the big snake?"

"Yes." Jing Shi replied: "The injury has healed up, don't worry about Zhenminghou. I came this time to protect the Zhenminghou under the order of the chief seat."

"Protection?" Zhao Mi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked again: "Are you here under the order of the Master of the State Teacher?"

"Yes." Jing Shi was as cold and concise as ever.

However, Zhao Mi heard a bit of subtext, Liang Tao is currently retreating in Difei Mountain in the eyes of the world, and he has not shown up for a while, let alone give orders.

When Liang Tao arranged for Jing Shi to monitor Zhao Mi, he figured it out very early on.In addition, Zhao Mi later decided to assist Liang Tao's Taoist Kingdom on Earth, so there was no need for Jing Shi to monitor him everywhere.

And now that Jing Shi is coming, it is a sign that Liang Tao is leaving the customs, and he will immediately control Zhao Mi.The intention of this move is obvious, almost to provoke conflicts.

"Okay." Zhao Mi was expressionless. Jing Shi came here this time not only for protection, but also for monitoring and supervision. Liang Tao did not allow Zhao Mi to procrastinate.

Zhao Mi was still thinking, and Xu Zhouzi hurried over. When he saw Jing Shi here, he couldn't help being surprised, and then signaled with his eyes.

"I want to discuss important matters with Xu Zhouzi first, please stay away." Zhao Mi waved his hand, and Zheng Siyuan, Jing Shi and others all exited the hall.

After everyone left, Xu Zhouzi quickly said: "I just saw that the Chongxuan Pavilion sent a group of people to Jianjiaguan, and most of them are the children of the Liang family in Yongjia!"

"They claim to be here to assist and protect me." Zhao Mi said expressionlessly.

"It's not good!" Xu Zhouzi expressed nervously: "I'm afraid Liang Guoshi has already left the customs! He is clearly trying to kill you!"

Zhao Shu's expression did not change: "With Liang Guoshi's cultivation base, it is easy to kill me. Sending someone else here is just superfluous. The act of spreading the mandala will be of great benefit to the Huaxu Kingdom. Liang Guoshi should not be so short-sighted. .”

Xu Zhouzi persuaded again and again: "Marquis Zhenming will understand that the real intention of the king's order for you to spread the altar is to deal with Chongxuan Pavilion and Liang Guoshi! Now he sent people here, most likely to obstruct them."

"Then what is the senior going to do?" Zhao Mi asked.

Xu Zhouzi thought about it again and again, and made a movement of cutting with a knife: "Kill, the first strike is the best!"

Zhao Mi sighed in his heart, Liang Tao did not set up hidden stakes in the Jiangzhen Hall, perhaps he despised them from the bottom of his heart.And Xu Zhouzi had a deep-rooted hatred for Liang Tao and Chongxuan Pavilion for the first time, but he didn't expect him to have such a radical plan.

"It's too risky." Zhao Mi shook his head: "We still don't know Liang Guoshi's true intentions. Killing people rashly will definitely lead to revenge in the future. What will seniors plan to do then?"

Xu Zhouzi lowered his voice and said: "Ding Shouzuo of Mingxia Pavilion secretly sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that the lord of the country has made arrangements, and the various factions in the East China Sea, headed by Hong Xueke, are about to besiege Difei Mountain and kill Liang Tao! Sending people here may be for the purpose of testing and guarding, but we might as well kill them on the spot, just in time for the imperial court to besiege Mount Fei!"

Hearing Ding Shouzuo's message, Zhao Mi immediately understood that Liang Tao had already started to set up a trap, so he asked, "Is this really true? I'm afraid there are still unpredictable variables."

Xu Zhouzi said impatiently: "Now the fire is burning, even if there are unpredictable variables, I don't care too much! If Marquis Zhenming is worried about getting into trouble, I will help you deal with it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shu knew that the situation was irreversible, so he could only nod his head with difficulty: "Then I have to ask senior to do it for me."
