Chapter 101 Selfishness Becomes Selfless

Zhao Mi looked at Jie Youjue in his hand and remained silent.

After talking with Liang Tao all night, Zhao Mi didn't immediately decide to help him.But Liang Guoshi was still very generous, he gave Jie Youjue to Zhao Mi, and then asked Jiang Ru to send him back to Dongshengdu.

"What do you think?" Zhao Mi secretly chatted with Ling Xiao: "Is Liang Tao's words trustworthy?"

"What do you mean by believable?" Lingxiao asked back, "I'm not Liang Tao, how can I know if he deliberately concealed the truth."

Zhao Mi said: "I don't think he has to lie to me about the Taoist kingdom on earth. Just now I made a little deduction in my heart, by arranging mandals at the spiritual acupoints of the blessed places in the kingdom, using the earth veins to connect the qi machine, and then It is indeed very possible to summon ghosts and gods and restrain spirits with the magical power of the immortal family.

In fact, the praise officials of the Tianxia Dynasty were originally selected from the temple blessings of the shrines and sacrificial places in various places.Now Liang Tao is doing the opposite, intending to distribute the disciples who have taught and practiced to the Jingtan government offices in various places, just like Cao Zuo, an official stationed in various counties and counties by the imperial court.

After the Huaxu Kingdom established the Guanxi system, it did have a similar attempt, intending to let the Guanxi monks serve as the place.At first, monks in Guanyin were asked to deal with ominous disasters and evil spirits in the local area, but later they simply appointed local civil servants, Luo Xixian was an example. "

"What you say is not to refute, but to strengthen your opinion." Ling Xiao reminded: "The words Liang Tao told you are based on your knowledge, experience, and thoughts, so that you can firmly believe that he planned with his heart. In terms of insight into the mind, he is better than you."

Zhao Mi hurriedly asked: "That is to say, does Liang Tao really have any ulterior motives?"

"Why do you insist on making such assumptions?" Ling Xiao asked.

Zhao Mi sighed inwardly: "I can't believe Liang Tao, such things as Taoism in the world, establishment of peace and rule of law, and re-establishment of spirit, these things are not like Liang Tao's sincerity. When you were in Xingluo County, you told him I don’t think he would consider the misfortunes and blessings of the common people when he despises human lives. Besides, he even brought up Master Qingya as an example, isn’t it because he is sure that I can’t prove the truth of the matter?”

"I don't think so." Ling Xiao said, "Liang Tao has grand plans in his heart, which is not contrary to his contempt for human life. Rather, in his mind, the common people are just the bricks and firewood used to create a Taoist kingdom on earth.

He doesn't regard human life as useless, but instead regards mortals as the accumulation of future achievements, use them if they are useful, and discard them if they are useless.If it is said that Liang Tao has concealed something, it should be true.Based on what I know right now, I can roughly deduce Liang Tao's real intentions. "

"What intention?" Zhao Mi became interested.

"Liang Tao is not satisfied with achieving the immortal way, he also wants to ascend to the position of the divine way." Ling Xiao said: "Think about it carefully, Liang Tao wants you to set up scientific rituals, but who is the specific person who will perform the rituals?"

"It can only be Liang Tao himself." Zhao Mi replied.

Lingxiao also said: "These scientific rituals are connected with the altars of various places in Huaxu Kingdom, reaching up to the cave and down to the ground. When Liang Tao's practice is complete, it will also be the moment when he achieves the immortal way. However, Liang Tao can not only be able to Dominate the cave and wonderland, and become the supreme ghost and god of the Huaxu Kingdom.

And with the magic of the connection between the cave and the blessed land, the most of the collapsed Qingya fairyland was restored, and even replaced Qingya Zhenjun, re-established the cave law, opened up the palace, and enlightened a group of brand new fairy officials.In the Taoist kingdom on earth in the future, all the monks who teach scriptures and cultivate truth are all disciples of Liang Tao's Dharma line, and all kinds of ghosts and spirits are also in the trap.

At that time, Liang Tao will be the main incense worshiper in the Taoist Kingdom. He is both a celestial being and a god. "

"Wait, he still plans to occupy the entire Kunlun Continent?" Zhao Mi was surprised.

Lingxiao asked back: "Don't you also think that he created the Dao Kingdom in the world not for the welfare of the common people? Liang Tao's plans are so big that a mere Huaxu Kingdom may not be enough. What's more, Qingya Zhenjun was defeated by the evil gods outside the sky. To rule the cave, one should consider one's future situation. This action of the Dao Kingdom in the world is also to prepare for future fierce battles. In case of a powerful enemy from the sky, the power of incense and trust in the world will become an inexhaustible wealth. Mana."

Hearing this, Zhao Mi felt complicated.The future deduced by Lingxiao is indeed in line with Zhao Mi's view of Liang Tao. This person has great desires and vision. He looks at the foolishness everywhere in the world. He really despises the lives of ordinary people, but he also regards the Huaxu Kingdom as the foundation of future achievements. The foundation is not allowed to be touched by foreign enemies.

Such a person can't expect him to donate his labors, Liang Tao can't even be said to be involved in the worldly fate, but he himself took the initiative to get involved and spared no effort to participate in it.

Thinking about it carefully, with Liang Tao's almost immortal cultivation base, what else can entangle his heart?Even in Zhao Shu's view, Liang Tao was able to plan and plan for the unimaginably powerful evil gods in the world, and actively prepared countermeasures without any panic. For that.

This can no longer be explained by the composure and calmness of ordinary people, but the realm of the fairy family that is vast and adaptable to things.It's just that for others, misfortune and fortune are unpredictable.

"Should I promise Liang Tao?" Zhao Mi asked in his heart.

Lingxiao asked back: "Do you think you have the right to refuse?"

Zhao Mi looked at Jie Youjue in his hand, and sighed: "It seems unlikely. It is rare for Liang Tao to show kindness. If I refuse again, I am afraid that he will do it directly, whether it is soul searching by magic or torture. I guess he will Will not be stingy with torture."

Ling Xiao said: "Actually, I hope you will agree. The so-called precepts and deeds, sometimes just listening to me, you may not be able to fully understand the metaphysics. You can learn more by following Liang Tao's side."

"With Liang Tao, I inevitably feel uncomfortable." Zhao Mi sighed, and then looked at Jiang Ru who was also in the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ru asked.

"Liang... Master Guoshi seems to think highly of you?" Zhao Mi said.

Jiang Ru lowered her head: "You have seen it too, I am just doing some small things such as welcoming people, seeing them off, and passing on news."

"Do you know the purpose of Master Guoshi asking me to come here?" Zhao Mi asked.

Jiang Ru shook her head lightly: "The chief has never told me clearly, and I will not inquire about it... If it is a secret, Deacon Zhao should not tell me."

Zhao Mi raised his eyebrows: "You have... changed a lot."

Jiang Ru smiled slightly: "After experiencing so many things in Xingluo County, anyone will change."

……

When Zhao Mi returned to Jindingsi, he happened to see Zhang Duanjing and Anyang Hou coming face to face.

"Nephew! Why did you leave with the girl from the Chongxuan Pavilion again?" Marquis Anyang looked angrily: "Do you know how worried we are?"

Zhao Mi bowed and apologized: "I know I was wrong."

Anyang Hou said earnestly: "Uncle Shi understands, it must be the demon girl sent by Liang Guoshi to confuse you. But you are not such an ignorant mortal, and you have magical powers to protect yourself. Don't let yourself go wild just after you get the title. You still have to be careful when walking in the capital Be cautious!"

"I remember." Zhao Mi replied with her head down.

Zhang Duanjing looked serious: "It was ignorance the first time, and it is deliberate to commit it again. You have previous experience, and you should know that the situation in the capital is complicated, but you have repeatedly communicated with Chongxuan Pavilion. What is the reason?"

Zhao Mi bowed his head and said nothing, Anyang Hou stomped his feet and said, "Nephew, you are right! If there is any difficulty, we can help you deal with it. If you don't speak like this, we can't help you even if you want to!"

"It seems that you don't know how to repent." Zhang Duanjing shook his hand, and threw out a ruler engraved with charms on all sides from his sleeve: "Your grandfather told me before he died, if you make mistakes in the future, you can use this The square ruler will be used as a punishment."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Duanjing folded his fingers and flicked the ruler lightly, making a dull sound, but there were bursts of thunder echoing around him, making people inexplicably terrified.

Zhao Mi bowed his head and couldn't afford it. Seeing this, the Marquis of Anyang quickly stopped the two of them: "Don't be angry, Mr. Zhang! My nephew is just young and vigorous. He is usually busy with work in Jinding Company, so he hardly has time to play and feast. Later, he was almost killed by the Jiuli Kingdom. Spies assassinate, it is inevitable that the mood will fluctuate, and the words and deeds will be a little out of line. Those of us who are elders can just reprimand, and the punishment is not too strict."

"I think he is fascinated by the witch." Zhang Duanjing raised the ruler and pointed at Zhao Mi: "Before Fang Zhengru, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"

Seeing that Zhao Mi still refused to open his mouth, Marquis Anyang asked anxiously, "Did Liang Tao force you to cast some poisonous curse? Did he play tricks on you?"

Zhang Duanjing said to Anyang Hou: "Please also ask Hou Ye to avoid, I will punish you."

Seeing the talisman glowing on the ruler, Anyanghou felt helpless, looked at Zhao Mi with disappointment, sighed heavily, turned and left the courtyard.

The master and apprentice stood in the courtyard, relatively speechless.After a while, Zhang Duanjing still raised his sleeves to cut off the sound inside and outside the courtyard.

"How? Are you willing to say it now?" Zhang Duanjing retracted the ruler, and the aggressive momentum disappeared immediately.

"Thank you teacher for covering up for me." Zhao Mi saluted.

"Liang Tao must have something to do with you." Zhang Duanjing signaled Zhao Mi to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard: "With your habit, if you have nothing to say, you will have many excuses and explanations when you are asked, and people can't pursue it. If you have It's an important matter, but keep silent."

Zhao Mi smiled and said, "Isn't this exactly what you taught, teacher?"

"Don't gossip." Zhang Duanjing said earnestly, "Liang Tao has asked you to find you again and again. Anyone can see that he attaches great importance to you."

"Liang Guoshi wants me to help him with a ritual ceremony." Zhao Mi said.

Zhang Duanjing frowned and said, "Based on his cultivation and the inheritance of the immortal family in Chongxuan Hall, it seems unnecessary."

"He... I don't know where to start." Zhao Mi let out a sigh of relief. He still feels inconceivable about Liang Tao's grand plan and great cause of the Dao Kingdom on earth.

"Then start from the beginning." Zhang Duanjing said.

Zhao Mi nodded, and roughly recounted the long talk he had with Liang Tao throughout the night, and also mentioned that Liang Tao intended him to inform Zhang Duanjing of the matter.

Zhang Duanjing listened to Zhao Mi's report, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and then asked, "What do you think?"

"Ah? What do you think?" Zhao Mi asked.

"Liang Tao came to you personally, which shows that he attaches great importance to the matter of Taoism in the world." Zhang Duanjing said, "I noticed a trace of fairy spirit in you, and I think it was a gift from him."

Zhao Mi didn't dare to hide it, and took out the three-legged Jiujue from his bosom: "This thing is called Jieyoujue. It was originally a family heirloom of He Dangguan, but it fell into the hands of the Zheng family of Jiujiang, and Zheng Yulou handed it over to Liang Guoshi. .”

"Liang Tao knows all your pictures and favorites." Zhang Duanjing said.

Zhao Mi asked back: "Teacher, what secret can I hide in front of Liang Guoshi?"

When he said this, Zhao Mi was still a little thankful that although Liang Tao had a high level of cultivation, he didn't notice the existence of Ling Xiao.

"But you did not reject Liang Tao's gift to Jie Youjue." Zhang Duanjing asked, "You seem to have no objection to what he said."

Zhao Mi thought for a long time, but did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Teacher, what did we see on the way to Dongshengdu?"

Zhang Duanjing replied: "The strong and powerful are self-willed, relatives merged, and the poor and weak people rent out taxes on behalf of them, so that the land stretches across counties, counties, and buildings all over the city."

"That's right, I've come all this way and found that after Shouyang was dismissed, the country's affairs and the people's livelihood have not improved." Zhao Mi sighed, "Teacher, do you still remember the incident in Chengyang County? The cause of Wang Miaoshou's collusion with evil spirits is nothing more than that." It was the property of several veterans who had their homes occupied by local big families. The reason for the great prosperity of banditry in Xingluo County was that the local officials did not care about the power of the people and plundered wealth.

During my time in Dongshengdu, I learned a lot of things.So I spoke in front of the lord, hoping to alleviate the hardship of the people's livelihood, but the result was unsatisfactory... Teacher, am I too naive? "

"It's very good that you have such a heart." Zhang Duanjing rarely praised: "It's not uncommon for the world to be unsatisfactory. It's just that you are talking about this now, do you think Liang Tao's Taoist country on earth can change the difficulties of people's livelihood?"

"I'm just not sure." Zhao Mi rested his forehead with his hand: "Aside from other things, if Master Liang flies away and abandons the world, the Huaxu Kingdom will lose one of its pillars. In the future, no one will dare to fight again. Guaranteed to withstand strong enemies.

The Dao state in the world may not be able to reverse the state affairs and the people's livelihood. However, to create a Dao state does not rely on laws and regulations, let alone change dynasties, but to set up a ritual ceremony covering the entire Huaxu state, so as to dominate all ghosts, spirits, ghosts and ghosts in the country. The qi of yin and yang and the five elements.

Teacher, you also know that this is the pursuit of the Tianxia Dynasty Praise Officer.As the saying goes-the qi of the emperor is born from below, the qi of the earth is raised upward, the qi of the five elements are all combined, and the qi of the four seasons are all in harmony.If we can gather the power of a country by means of scientific rituals and rituals, not to mention conquering the world, at least we can ensure that the people of one side live and work in peace and contentment. "

"Don't forget, the person who will preside over this ceremony in the future is not you, but Liang Tao." Zhang Duanjing reminded: "He uses this method to ascend to the throne, what will be the consequences?"

Zhao Mi asked: "Teacher, do we practice immortality and Taoism for the purpose of finally abandoning the world and watching the people in the world suffer? Perhaps Liang Guoshi did not have good intentions, but once such scientific rituals and rituals are launched, the Taoist Kingdom of the world will have a solidarity with him. Together, with one breath and one fate.”

"Being selfish, make it selfless." Zhang Duanjing looked at Zhao Mi: "But you know, this move is to entrust all the people of the Huaxu Kingdom to Liang Tao. If there is a mistake, the common people will suffer."
