Kunlun one millet

Chapter 253

"Fire arrows!"

Shouting loudly, the arrows flew out of the string, and fell on the front and back of the wooden fence like a torrential rain, and many bandits screamed and fell to the ground.

After several rounds of arrow rain, Guan Shiping saw that the morale of the bandits in the village was low and the lineup was scattered, so he drew his sword and pointed at a distance: "Brothers, follow me!"

Guan Shiping took the lead and charged forward, regardless of the arrows and stones, the sword light swept away, the horse was smashed by the gate of the village, and he led the follow-up soldiers to rush into the village.

Qian Shaobai sacrificed the rainbow-reflecting orb, and the light shone like another sun shining on the village, giving him a panoramic view of the movements of the bandits. Except for the sound transmission to Guan Shiping, who was commanding the soldiers ahead, he also shot out rainbow light occasionally, killing and wounding the people in the village. Thieves.

The battle lasted for half a day, and the remaining thieves in the cottage begged to surrender one after another, so Guan Shiping began to lead people to clean up the battlefield.

"Drag these recalcitrant people down and chop them up." Guan Shiping was bloodied from the killing, pointing at a few bandit leaders, cursing: "Damn it, it's a pity that you were still officials and soldiers in the past, and you actually made trouble from the bandits. Wait!"

Qian Shaobai looked at the bandit leaders who were taken down, and sighed, "I didn't expect that Bailongzhai has been pacified, and this Yuemazhai is still stubbornly resisting."

Guan Shiping snorted coldly: "Most of the thieves in Yuema Village are officers and soldiers. They rebelled and caused more trouble than ordinary thieves!"

Qian Shaobai said helplessly: "The current situation is turbulent, food and pay are insufficient, and there will inevitably be mutinies in the army."

"Shaobai, you don't have to pity them." Guan Shiping wiped off the blood on his face: "Who is not gritting their teeth these days? How many times have we persuaded them before we attacked? What are we being polite about?"

Qian Shaobai nodded slightly, Guan Shiping took off his heavy armor and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's also fortunate that you killed all the leaders of the group of village owners in Bailongzhai, and there are only a few people who really want to put down Shiliang Twelve Villages. Seeing that the situation is not going well, the other villages have voluntarily disarmed and surrendered.”

"It's not all due to me." Qian Shaobai said.

"The real person Huaiyu was willing to help us deal with Hong Shangwu, which saved us a lot of trouble." Guan Shiping asked, "Such an expert is actually retreating in the back mountain of Bailongzhai? You, Shangjingzong, knows all the sects well." Anecdotes, do you know his origin?"

"He...has a high level of cultivation, and I didn't see his background as a teacher." Qian Shaobai didn't know why, but he didn't tell others the truth that Xu Huaiyu was Zhao Mi.

Guan Shiping said: "I hope he can end that Hong Shangwu's life, lest such bandits make a comeback. It is because of Hong Shangwu that the surrounding counties and counties will not be peaceful."

While Qian Shaobai was thinking about it, a soldier ran over: "General, there is a man in the camp at the foot of the mountain who calls himself Xu Huaiyu, and came to ask Qian not to drive."

"Oh? It really is here!" Guan Shiping patted Qian Shaobai on the shoulder: "Go, I will go with you to meet this expert, and you must thank him personally. If you can ask him for help, we will recruit another expert from the outside world for the court People, another great achievement."

"Ah? This..." Qian Shaobai froze in place, he didn't expect Zhao Mi to go and come back, and the fear in his heart was aroused again.

"What's the matter?" Guan Shiping looked at himself: "I think it's not elegant to think that I'm covered in blood, and I'm worried that I'll offend the world's experts. You go down the mountain first, and I'll wash my face and drive over."

Qian Shaobai had no choice but to force his face to remain unchanged, and when he came to the barracks at the foot of the mountain, he saw a man in green robes, holding a wooden staff, with a short beard, his appearance was completely unfamiliar.

"You, you are..." Qian Shaobai didn't dare to recognize each other for a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, don't you remember Xu?" Zhao Mi clasped his hands and smiled, "Back then in Bailongzhai, it was you who helped Xu get out of the customs."

While talking, Qian Shaobai also heard Zhao Shu's secret voice transmission: "My identity should not be revealed, and Fellow Daoist Qian must understand the reason. But you don't seem to have revealed too much to others?"

Qian Shaobai was nervous, and the sound transmission responded: "Why are you back?"

"Everything should have a beginning and an end. I went to pursue Hong Shangwu. No matter what the result is, I should let Fellow Daoist Qian know." Zhao Mi laughed.

Zhao Mi came to Qian Shaobai again, with the intention of seeing if he would spread the news of his departure from the world.

After bidding farewell to Zhao Bo, Zhao Mi secretly followed them all the way with Xiong Guo soldiers and horses, observing their movements to suppress bandits and quell the chaos, and found that Qian Shaobai had not spread his news to outsiders.

Zhao Mi also thought about it, maybe killing Qian Shaobai directly can cut off the news of his own life.But considering Qian Shaobai's background as a teacher, if he was killed, the elders of Shang Jingzong would not be able to sit idly by.

When the two fought against each other back then, Fang Yuanzi, one of the Four Immortals, was attracted. He killed Qian Shaobai rashly. enmity.

Zhao Mi is now decisive in killing and attacking. He is alone and has no worries, but he will not kill indiscriminately, even if Qian Shaobai is far from his opponent.

And in the battle of Difei Mountain, Zhao Mi also sensed that there was an expert in Shangjingzong, causing Liang Tao to be severely injured by his mother with the magic sword.Therefore, in his opinion, Shang Jingzong is also somewhat responsible for the catastrophe and chaos.

However, the grievances and grievances here are difficult to resolve for a while, Zhao Mi does not intend to kill Tiancheng Mountain directly, not to mention that he can't do it with his current cultivation.It's better to make friends with Qian Shaobai for the time being, and take the opportunity to ask the elders of Shang Jingzong in the future, even if he really wants revenge, Zhao Mi doesn't want to implicate the innocent.

"Is this the real Huaiyu?"

At this moment, Guan Shiping's voice came from outside the tent, he changed into a clean robe, bowed to Zhao Mi and said, "I have Guan Shiping, the guerrilla general of the Xiong Kingdom, and this time I got the help of a real person, I will be deeply impressed!"

"General Guan is polite." Zhao Mi nodded slightly. He still vaguely remembered that this person came to Huaxu country together with Qian Shaobai to spy on the military situation and buy fabrics. Right and wrong.

After they were seated, Guan Shiping asked: "I heard that Master Huaiyu went to pursue Hong Shangwu, what will happen?"

"Hong Shangwu is dead. It's a pity that his magic power was violent at that time, and his body and spirit were completely destroyed, and there was no evidence left." Zhao Mi said.

"It's enough to get Master Huaiyu's words." Guan Shiping asked: "By the way, I heard from Qian Biejia that the real person just left the customs not long ago?"

"That's right." Zhao Mi nodded and said: "Xu was injured in his early years, so he had to escape to the cave to retreat and practice. Recently, he sensed that outsiders invaded the cave, so he didn't want to pay attention to it, but Hong Shangwu broke in and disturbed people's peace. Xu had no choice but to show up to respond. It happened that Fellow Daoist Qian came to help, if not for him, I am afraid that Xu would be murdered by Hong Shangwu before he left the customs."

Qian Shaobai forced a smile on the side, Guan Shiping nodded and said: "Hong Shang Wu Xiao gathered in the mountains and forests to bring disaster to the surrounding counties. He should have put down the law early. However, the road was cut off after the Zujiang flood, and the imperial army failed to clear up the banditry in time. Master Yu made a move. On behalf of the local people, I will thank Master Huaiyu again."

"Xu is just acting as he pleases. General Guan is serious." Zhao Mi waved his hand and said.

"Haven't you asked where is the fairyland of Immortal Huaiyu? In the future, I will thank you." Guan Shiping said quickly: "I have Xiong Guo's generous gifts and preferential treatment for capable people and strangers. With the profound cultivation of Immortal Huaiyu, you can get Jin The capsule fish charm is enshrined by the court."

"Xu is a disciple of Xuanpu Hall, but unfortunately the sect has dispersed and the dojo has fallen, and now he is just a casual cultivator wandering in the rivers and lakes." Zhao Mi said.

"Xuanputang?" Guan Shiping looked at Qian Shaobai, beckoning with his eyes.

Qian Shaobai knew that Zhao Mi wanted to hide his identity, so he said, "I remember Xuanpu Hall is a sect located in Huaxu Kingdom. It was besieged by evil spirits decades ago, and the Lingtai Ruins dojo fell. I also took advantage of the trend to take the dojo as my own."

Zhao Mi shook his head and sighed: "Oh, the Chongxuan Pavilion is very powerful. Xu has been injured by them after several attempts to claim the dojo, but Xu was ashamed of his patriarch, so he had no choice but to flee the country."

"Chongxuan Pavilion?" Guan Shiping asked, "Could it be that Master Huaiyu still doesn't know the current situation in the world?"

"The situation in the world?" Zhao Mi pretended to be puzzled, and even took a peek at Qian Shaobai: "Xu is not a man in the mountains, he has retreated for more than ten years to heal his wounds, and he knows nothing about the affairs of the world. Please forgive me, General Guan." .”

Guan Shiping showed joy: "Ten years ago, Huaxu Guodong Shengdu suddenly changed drastically, and the Chongxuan Pavilion was completely destroyed!"

"There is such a thing?" Zhao Mi stood up and exclaimed.

Seeing Zhao Mi's behavior, Qian Shaobai understood that he was unwilling to walk with his past identity. If he revealed his true identity, he might be killed in a blink of an eye.

When he thought of the scene of Zhao Mi fighting with Hong Shangwu, and how he and Guan Shiping lost to each other almost face to face, Qian Shaobai couldn't summon up any courage in his heart.

"Now the Huaxu Kingdom is falling apart, and there are endless internal worries." Guan Shiping said again and again: "Chi Yun raised troops from Cangwu Mountain, and almost occupied half of the Huaxu Kingdom. And in the court, Da Sima Luoyi was so powerful that rumors were already pregnant. The meaning of abolishing the establishment! If Master Huaiyu wants to take back the Zongmen Dojo, he doesn’t have to face the Chongxuan Pavilion anymore.”

Zhao Mi shook his head and sighed: "As General Guan said, the Huaxu Kingdom is now raging with war and soldiers. It is not a peaceful place. Xu is alone, so what's the use of taking back the Daochang?"

After listening to Qian Shaobai's report, Guan Shiping had already known about Xu Huaiyu's abilities. He should make good friends with such a high-ranking person. If he could be recruited to serve in the army, he would not only help to suppress the banditry and rebels, but he might expand his territory in the future Also rely on this person.

"Really Huaiyu's words are wrong." Guan Shiping said: "We have the Xiong Kingdom that has always respected the immortal family. As long as the various sects abide by the court's laws, they can keep the inheritance forever. Unlike the Huaxu Kingdom, which let Liang Tao go Invading the sect and seizing the dojo."

"What does General Guan mean by that?" Zhao Mi asked.

"I feel that Huaxu's power is about to run out, and Master Huaiyu might as well stay in Xiong Kingdom for a while, and help the imperial army to pacify the eastern land in the future, so that Master Huaiyu can take back the ashram, reopen the sect, and recruit more disciples."

If Zhao Mi is really a casual cultivator, this offer is very generous.After all, Zhao Mi is now considered homeless and countryless, if he shows up in Huaxu country, there will be countless people who want to kill him.But even so, Zhao Mi was unwilling to assist Xiong Guo in conquering Huaxu,
"General Guan's kindness, Xu accepts it." Zhao Mi said, "Time has passed, and Xu has long been disheartened. Everything has its ups and downs, and some things cannot be forced."

Guan Shiping failed to achieve his goal, so he had to signal Qian Shaobai again with his eyes.But Qian Shaobai knew the inside story, and understood that some things could not be persuaded at all.

"Real Huaiyu lives a quiet life, and I think he doesn't want to fight rashly." When Qian Shaobai said this, he didn't quite believe it: "It's just that the world is in chaos and disasters are everywhere. If the chaos can't be calmed down, I'm afraid it won't happen." The place of Qingxiu. Isn’t Master Huaiyu just disturbed by Hong Shangwu and other young people?”

Zhao Mi turned back to stare at Qian Shaobai, and asked in a serious tone, "Does Fellow Daoist Qian intend to put down the chaos in the world?"

Qian Shaobai didn't dare to look directly at the other party, and replied a little timidly: "Suppressing the world, how can I do it alone? The world's affairs are determined by the world, and I can only do my best."

When Zhao Mi heard this, he was silent for a long time. At the beginning, he thought that after creating a Taoist kingdom on earth in the future, with boundless mana in hand, he could calm down the chaos in the world.Looking back now, this idea is really wishful thinking.

How can the grand ambition of peace in the world and no more disputes be realized after the creation of the Taoist Kingdom on Earth?The teacher Zhang Duanjing once said that the Dao Kingdom in the world has no real foundation, but it is a false talk.

Zhao Shu's wide distribution of the mandala allows Liang Tao to instigate the power of the world. This has nothing to do with whether the Taoist Kingdom can be created or whether the world will be stable in the future.

Rather, both Zhao Mi and Liang Tao bet their success or failure on whether they can ascend to the Dao, and if they fail, they will die.This kind of upside-down confusion, from the very beginning, doomed Zhao Mi and Liang Tao to walk on the wrong path, and they were so wrong that they didn't know it.

"Everything in the world is determined by the people of the world... Well said, well said!" Zhao Mi nodded deeply, he was greatly inspired, and asked, "Did Fellow Daoist Qian comprehend this sentence by himself?"

Qian Shaobai shook his head: "It's the words of my head of Shangjingzong."

Qian Shaobai had the honor of accompanying the head Han Yuanzi for a period of time when he was doing Qingxiu on Tiancheng Mountain, and occasionally heard him talking with the Four Immortals about the upheaval in Dongshengdu.

During the period, when talking about Liang Tao and Zhao Mi, the four immortals expressed their own opinions—Xuantu recognized that Liang and Zhao were insane and brought disaster to the common people; However, the rituals and rituals cannot be used by Xiongguo; Yizhenzi simply regards Liang and Zhao as enemies, and it is a blessing that they died.

Han Yuanzi was noncommittal about this, but just said that "the affairs of the world are determined by the people of the world".

Qian Shaobai thought about it for a long time afterwards, and felt that the headmaster's words were quite profound, but he didn't fully comprehend them for a while, and what he said to Zhao Mi now was just showing off.

It's just that I didn't expect that these words seemed to make Zhao Mi feel greatly, and I don't know what he thought of.

"Now I understand what kind of grace is a word." Zhao Shu's eyebrows eased, he smiled softly, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qian, I really have no intention of helping other countries. But since you have the intention to calm down This world is chaotic, so let’s start right now. Aren’t you going to sweep up the bandits and evil spirits nearby? Xu can help you for a while.”
