Kunlun one millet

Chapter 355

Time flies, more than five years have passed since Zhao Mi beheaded Qianxun Orochi.

In the past few years, Zhao Mi has been staying in Yunyan Peak to practice in seclusion, reviewing the past practice, sorting out what he has learned and realized in his previous life, and integrating the essence of various immortal arts, so as to prepare for his future ascension to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven.

Although Zhao Mi has never gone down the mountain to experience the world these days, he still knows the major events in the world like the palm of his hand.

Although Xiongguo destroyed Jiuli and annexed the southern land in the first battle five years ago, it still consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. Not overnight.

Therefore, the Xiong Kingdom has not used foreign troops in the past few years, and has concentrated on recuperating, but other countries are not stable either.

Dongyang Kingdom and Chiyundu fought frequently, because Dongyang Kingdom borrowed soldiers and horses from Northern Xinjiang with a lot of money and silk, and indeed contained Chiyundu's several rounds of offensives, making the battle between the two sides into a tense situation, and re-formed a canine front.

However, the secondment of soldiers and horses from northern Xinjiang was a huge waste of money, and the court of Dongyang Kingdom could only increase taxes, which made the already difficult life of the people even worse.

In addition, soldiers and horses in northern Xinjiang not only extorted money, gold and silver, but also robbed people and women on a large scale.Sometimes, before the negotiation with the court of Dongyang Kingdom, some tribes in northern Xinjiang would directly rush into the countryside and villages, burning, killing and looting all the way, causing public resentment

As for the tall white velvet people and the fierce beasts in the snow field under the order of the shaman, hunting and killing livestock was not enough, so they simply started eating people, causing many people to suffer for no reason, and even had no way to appeal.

Some people who couldn't bear it simply rose up, and even played the banner of responding to Chi Yundu.

Zhao Huangguan, who came down to join the world, first went south to seek refuge in Chiyundu, but because his cultivation and mana were sealed by Zhao Mi, and there was no one to recommend him, he couldn't meet the three elders of Chiyun at all.

But fortunately, Zhao Huangguan could read and write, and he also had a bit of martial arts, and he was also a talent that Chi Yun needed.

When the civil uprisings in Dongyang raised their flags, Zhao Huangguan was reassigned to the north to contact these rebels and help them deal with Dongyang officers and soldiers as a check.

Today, Dongyang Kingdom is even worse than Huaxu Kingdom back then. In Xingluo County at the foot of Panlong Mountain, it bears the brunt of the successive batches of Rongdi soldiers and horses going south, and suffers the most serious plunder.The people in counties and counties had no choice but to flee or wander, or stick to the docks, like small isolated islands in the vast ocean.

What makes people feel emotional is that many people in Xingluo County recalled the incident when Hua Xu Kingdom pacified Chiyundu. Some people thought that it would be better to let Chiyundu succeed in those years, and the people might suffer less crimes.

There are also some people who miss Zhao Mi suddenly, because the ordinary people in the countryside and the market don’t know what happened to Zhao Mi after the Battle of Difei Mountain. After death, his soul lingers, and he comes to repay the country of Huaxu.

In the place where Zhao Shu once stopped, some people directly set up memorial tablets, and some people in Yanze City planned to change the Town God's Temple to worship Zhao Shu.

The current situation is turbulent, and even people's hearts are also in turmoil.Zhao Mi, who was at Yunyan Peak, watched the world with cold eyes, seeing all this, but did not intervene.He knew very well that these people enshrined themselves just to seek a little stability in the chaos, even if it was a moment of respite.

With Zhao Mi's current level of cultivation, even if he didn't deliberately add spirits to those private tablets, he could still sense the wishes of all beings in the world.

As Ruomu said, his past deeds in the world have left traces in people's minds. Although this will change with the years, even far beyond Zhao Mi himself, but this does not hinder the direction of faith.

But Zhao Mi did not respond to the complaints and grievances of these people. He killed the demon gods of the southern land, and his intention was not to want the world to sink into the theory of ghosts and gods.

If you do it yourself, it seems that you have solved the problem for a while, and you can immediately win the support and worship of the people, but doing so will undoubtedly aggravate the world's being deceived by ghosts and gods.In the long run, it is not conducive to the prosperity of human nature, and it is against one's own wishes.

However, Zhao Mi also understands that the world is in such a chaotic state that asking people to self-examine and awaken is just a dream.

Now the avatar who stayed in Baihua Valley, as the husband-in-law of Miaosara, has officially opened a school, and what he teaches is not scientific rituals and magic tricks of the fairy family, but the reading of words and sentences, numerology and etiquette, by the way, from Hanyuan From the sons, he asked for cultivated and selected seedlings to teach farming.

Compared with the Eastern Land, which is still mired in war and chaos, the Southern Land today appears to be full of vitality and high spirits.

In addition, Miao Sara also gave birth to a daughter, but now she is still young, and the future is still uncertain.Moreover, the custom of Baihua Valley is that women are in charge of the house, so Zhao Mi will not force too much.

The avatar left in Baihua Valley has no cultivation power, it is used by Zhao Mi to experience ordinary life, to understand what it is like to be a husband and father, so as to enrich his inadequacy in the past.

This avatar, Zhao Mi, will not take it back on purpose. It will naturally die and return to heaven and earth when it reaches the age of ordinary people.

At this time, I saw Zhao Mi sitting on the rocky cliff, breathing out and whistling, and the whistling sound that ordinary people could not hear rippled, stirring up waves in the sea of ​​clouds and haze, and the clouds and smoke suddenly turned into phoenixes soaring, and sometimes turned into dragons circling. , It can also turn into countless birds and beasts, rushing to each other, and the scenery of mountains and forests is also presented.

Breathing out and taking in, it has been several days and nights, the stars move and turn, the sun rises and the moon sinks, the aura is long and deep, and it seems to have the potential to swallow the heavens and the earth.

But Zhao Mi seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly stopped working, then stood up, bowed to the west, and said at the same time:
"Congratulations, senior, for ascending to the upper realm and achieving immortality!"

The words were sent thousands of miles away, and then the stars in the sky seemed to be affected by the same reaction, and they flickered one after another, as if a group of immortals nodded to Zhao Mi.

After a while, the stars in the sky returned to normal, Zhao Mi was speechless, and turned away from the cliff, Lu Wangji, who was in charge of protecting the Dharma not far away, pressed the string and asked: "I vaguely sensed that the energy in the distance has changed, could it be that someone has ascended? "

Zhao Mi nodded and said, "Han Yuanzi, the head of the Shangjing Sect, his cultivation has reached perfection, so he took the initiative to fly away."

Ascension to immortality is the undoubted highest achievement for mortal monks. Regardless of the depth of mana, how many kills they have made, and the amount of worldly achievements, they cannot be compared with ascension to immortality.

Zhao Mi was once fortunate to witness the ascension of Tie Gong. Even though it was guided by an immortal family from the upper world, it still left an indelible deep impression on Zhao Mi, and Zhao Mi benefited from the mysterious fate.

But now Han Yuanzi ascended by himself, for the members of the Shangjing Sect who watched the ceremony from the sidelines, it can be said to be a great blessing of immortal fate.Just the fact that the immortal way can be expected is enough to make people greatly firm in their pursuit of the way and get rid of all doubts.

After all, Zhao Mi was not from the Shangjing sect, so he couldn't come to Tiancheng Mountain to observe the ceremony in person, but now that he is in Yunyan Peak, he can still sense the change of heaven and earth when Han Yuanzi ascended, and he congratulates him from afar.

"Achieving immortality is a good thing after all, especially in today's turbulent situation." Lu Wangji said.

Zhao Mi looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back: "The way of immortality is certainly what we are looking for, so we are free and unfettered by the world. However, there are very few people who have achieved the way of immortality throughout the ages. The way of immortality is a way out, no, no It should be the way out for everyone."

Unlike Zhao Shu, Lu Wangji didn't have too many complicated thoughts, and then asked: "I saw that you whistled just now, which can move the clouds to turn into all kinds of birds and beasts. It seems to be another interpretation of "Qingluan Yin"?"

"Qing Luan Yin" is the authentic method of immortality of Fengming Valley, which Lu Wangji has taught Zhao Mi without any privacy in the past few years.

However, Fengminggu's inheritance is based on the qin. Although Zhao Shu's cultivation level is high, he has mastered nine out of ten in the rhythm of music—none of them.Even if Lu Wangji had personally instructed him in the past few years, Zhao Mi only had a rough grasp of the melody of the qin music, and he really couldn't tune the qin to soothe the mind and pluck the strings to soothe the mind like Lu Wangji.

But Zhao Mi is especially good at drawing inferences and comprehending the profound principles of the formulas. He didn't stick to the music of the qin, but made sounds from nature and the earth, combined with the howling method of convincing qi and promoting qi, he created something else.

"A group of shamans from northern Xinjiang passed by the mountain during these days. When I was sitting down, I occasionally heard them make various strange calls to communicate with birds and beasts. Their breath came in and out, implying the breath Kung Fu." Zhao Mi sat down and said:
"When I saw this situation, I couldn't help but think that outside of the human world, birds and beasts communicate with each other through various calls. When I study it deeply, it is indeed somewhat mysterious. Although the use of shamans in northern Xinjiang is crude, it is not without merit. "

Shamans in northern Xinjiang are different from shamans in southern China. They don't believe in a specific god, but believe that everything in the world has spirituality. Everything, such as mountains, rivers, plants, birds and animals, can communicate with people, and is related to life, old age, sickness, death, misfortune, etc. Success or failure.

It's just that these psychic sacrifices by shamans in northern Xinjiang are also full of crude and even bloody customs. Before the battle, they even gouged out the hearts of living people and let the blood out, praying for the spirit of the bear to bless the soldiers.

Although Zhao Shu didn't like these northern Xinjiang shamans, he didn't intervene.And when it comes to the battlefield, these northern Xinjiang shamans are often the first targets of the monks of Chiyundu. In the past few years, there have been many casualties, and they have not exceeded the killings of wars in the world.

The reason why Zhao Mi imitated the psychic method of shamans in northern Xinjiang is because Fengminggu's "Qingluan Yin" also has similar magical effects.

According to the legend of Fengming Valley, their ancestors were a pair of Taoist couples. The man was an ancient qin master. He played the qin and attracted a green luan. From this, the two parties met through the qin and music. In the end, they achieved Taoism and soared together.

But after Jiang Yingke visited Yunyan Peak again, Zhao Mi learned that the ancient qin master was originally a tribe member who took shelter of Guishan Fairy Mother, and the green luan was simply the former messenger of Guishan Fairy Mother. They have known each other for a long time.

Perhaps Fengming Valley has a long heritage, and the theory of the origin of the sect has changed, so that the later generations have been biased.

But it doesn't matter, Zhao Mi said to Lu Wangji: "I changed "Qingluan Yin" to Xiaofa, precisely because the Xiaofa was first created by Guishan Fairy. Ancient books once mentioned that Yaochi Guishan The fairy mother is good at whistling, the sound is like the wind blowing the long forest, the birds hear it, and the clouds sing together. In addition, the fairy mother of Guishan has always had the legend of commanding the birds, which is similar to the shaman's psychic beasts, so I guess, the whistle method This is the origin of "Qingluan Yin"."

"Before I learned that Fengming Valley is the inheritance of Guishan Fairy Mother, but now that I think about it, I still feel a little incredible." Lu Wangji said.

Fengming Valley is located in the Western Land, and the fairy mother of Yaochi Guishan has long been not only a master of the fairy family, but also regarded as a god by the local people.Long before the Tianxia Dynasty, the people of the western lands would dig stone carvings and sculpture statues in the mountains, almost all of which were built around the Fairy Mother of Guishan.

Reminiscent of the fact that Guishan Fairy used one person to store the source of the river in ancient times to prevent the downstream from being affected by floods. It is not too much to say that such a supreme merit has been worshiped and praised by the people for thousands of years.

In addition, in the eyes of immortal cultivators, Fairy Guishan can almost be regarded as the ancestor of all immortals.

Because the Goddess Yuqing used her body to mend the sky and cut off all burdens, she is unknown to the mortal monks, and the contemporary Guishan Fairy naturally received more praises. In addition to Xiaofa, the original method of refining Qi It was passed on to the world by Fairy Guishan.

Originally, the Yaochi Kingdom was also a normal human kingdom, formed by the generals who came out of the town of Xitu in the Tianxia Dynasty to rule over one side. In accordance with the popular will, the country was named Yaochi.

However, King Baixiang usurped the throne. Although he did not change the country's name like Luo Yi did, he caused indiscriminate killings and introduced Rongdi on a large scale, causing the people of Yaochi to live in poverty.Moreover, the lineages of various immortal ways were invaded and slaughtered by the king of Baixiang, and suffered heavy losses. Among them, there is no shortage of lineages of the sects such as Fengminggu that are somewhat related to the fairy mother of Guishan.

In the past few years, the Baixiang King did not show up as usual, causing rumors to spread throughout the Yaochi Kingdom, various civil changes are endless, and the forces that were intimidated by the Baixiang Wang's force in the past and succumbed have also stood up on their own.

It can be said that today's Westland has been smashed into a pot of porridge, and the situation is even more chaotic than that of Eastland, but this just gives Xiongguo a chance to recuperate.

Although Lu Wangji will not insist on revitalizing Fengming Valley, but in order to thank Fairy Guishan for saving all living beings, Zhao Mi still intends to leave a line of inheritance.

"Are you planning to go to Yaochi Country now?" Lu Wangji asked.

"Firstly, to inspect the customs and customs, to appreciate the scenery of the mountains and rivers, secondly, to search for destined people, to teach the magic of the immortal family, and thirdly, to prepare for the future confrontation with the king of Baixiang." Zhao Shugang's face changed slightly after finishing speaking.

"What happened?" Lu Wangji rarely showed anger when he saw Zhao Mi.

"This guy actually dares to come to Xingluo County?" Zhao Mi snorted coldly and explained: "Back then Chi Yun was doing trouble in Xingluo County. I came here with the army to suppress bandits and chaos. It is a ghost walking corpse. It possesses the power of the evil gods from outside the sky, and it appears like a ghost. Unfortunately, my magic power was meager back then, so I couldn't destroy it, so it escaped."

Originally, Zhao Mi didn't intend to intervene in ordinary affairs, and ordinary monsters didn't need him to take care of them himself, but when this monster of unknown origin appeared in Xingluo County, Zhao Mi immediately felt a sense, and now it was trying to awaken the corpse again.

For Zhao Mi, the evil god who invaded the Qingya Wonderland would sooner or later be an enemy he had to face, and his minions left in Kunlun Continent should not be easily indulged.
