Kunlun one millet

Chapter 207
"That is to say, Master Fang, you have made a lot of money in the past two years?"

After the banquet was over, Master Fang invited Zhao Mi to his home for a private discussion, and learned that Luo Xixian had done a lot of practical things for the local people during the period when he was in charge of Xingluo County.

In addition, because Wang Juncheng wrote a letter to restore the people's livelihood in Xingluo County, the ban on the mountains and rivers was temporarily lifted, and the local gentry could enter the mountains to open mines. In addition, tax reductions and exemptions made many refugees from neighboring counties come to Xingluo County to enrich the population and reclaim wasteland. The once withered Xingluo County is thriving.

"I'm ashamed to make Marquis Zhenming laugh." Master Fang said again: "I will always remember that Marquis Zhenming gave me a way out so that I wouldn't perish with the rebellious party."

"The chaos, the chaos..." Zhao Mi smiled wryly.

"Why are Marquis Zhenming laughing?" Master Fang could see that Zhao Shu's temperament and temperament were far from those of Zhao Fuli back then, and he was not someone who could offend him.

Zhao Mi was speechless for a long time, and then asked: "Will Master Fang feel regretful because he betrayed Chi Yundu?"

Mr. Fang couldn't decide what Zhao Mi was thinking, so he could only say, "Anyway, it's good for the common people if we can live in peace now. Even those of us who are small and rich, if we encounter continuous wars, we won't be able to keep our wealth."

Zhao Mi shook his head: "Master Fang won't tell me what's on his mind."

"This..." Mr. Fang was startled. He had already heard about Zhao Mi's actions in the south. Even the Chiyang Wang family was arbitrarily rounded and flattened by Zhao Mi. To deal with him, a rich man, would it be like flipping his palms? easily?

Now that he returned to Xingluo County again, Zhao Mi's view of Yang Liujun's group of Chiyundu monks was different from the past.

Compared to the three elders of Chiyun slowly trying to accumulate strength in the mountains and countryside, Mr. Yang Liu hopes to use the power of the divine sword to establish his chances of victory in one fell swoop.For this reason, he doesn't care who he wants to appoint, even if it's some casual cultivators who are just for a little benefit, Lord Yangliu will not refuse anyone.

Therefore, except for a few who were born in Chiyundu, most of Yangliu-jun's subordinates are a mixed bag, and there are even some bandits and thieves.

Against [-] officers and soldiers of the imperial court, as well as a group of monk monks, Yang Liujun was able to attack and defend properly with such a mixed force with corrupt morale. He let General Wei suffer a few times, which shows his superb talent.

Zhao Shu's cultivation today is not much worse than Yang Liujun's.If counting the help of the magic weapon, Zhao Mi might have a slight chance of winning against Yang Liujun again.

But thinking of Yang Liujun facing Liang Tao back then, Zhao Mi couldn't help asking himself, would he be able to risk his life at a critical moment to fight to the end like Yang Liujun did?

The higher one's cultivation base and mana, the more one understands how advanced Liang Tao's realm is. Facing such a living immortal family, all kinds of spells are useless, and only the divine sword can hurt the immortal body.

Coincidentally, the person who lost the sharpness of the Excalibur was Zhao Mi. He pretended to be clever for a while, let Liang Tao avoid disaster, and put himself in the opponent's layout, unable to escape, which can be said to be a bitter fruit .

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Mi still didn't express his views on Chi Yundu, and after a few chats, he left.

"Xin Shunying came here before."

It was late at night, Jiang Ru told Zhao Mi what he had seen during the day.

"I have nothing to talk to them about." Zhao Mi said, "I'm just here to set up the mandala, and I'll leave when I'm done. I'm not interested in fighting for power."

Jiang Ru said: "Xin Shunying probably wants you and Luo Xixian to get back together."

"Then what?" Zhao Mi threw down the scroll and said with a smile, "Senior Xin is proficient in calculations, so I naturally feel that people's hearts can be firmly grasped through calculations. In the end, she just hopes that Luo Xixian and I can advance and retreat together in the court. , supporting each other."

"You don't intend to do this?" Jiang Ru was puzzled, and added: "Don't worry, I won't tell the Chief about this."

"What stupid things are you talking about?" Zhao Mi said, "Do you think I have other options? I'm going forward and retreating together in the hall. Not only Liang Guoshi, but His Majesty can't tolerate this matter."

"That's right." Jiang Ru felt inexplicably worried for Zhao Mi, the dangers and hardships he had to bear were far more than what he wanted.

Seeing Zhao Mi put down the scroll and leave, Jiang Ru asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'll take a look at the Temple of the City God, you don't have to follow." Zhao Mi waved his hand and left the house alone.

Except for the guards outside the gate, the idlers in the Temple of the City God have been asked to leave. Zhao Shu walked straight into the interior, and the lights were lit up all around silently, following Zhao Shu's figure and pace, slowly illuminating the way ahead.

When Zhao Mi came to the main hall, the brass lampstands shaped like hibiscus trees on both sides lit up one after another, reflecting the majestic and solemn statue of Duke Hengbi.

"Little friend Zhao Mi, you are finally here." The sigh of Heng Bigong echoed in the main hall.

"Xiao Zhao pays homage to Duke Hengbi." Zhao Mi bowed and bowed.

Mr. Hengbi's tone was not as close as before: "You are already an expert in the world, and you are highly valued by Liang Tao. I am not worthy of your obeisance."

Although places like City God's Temple are protected by a barrier, Zhao Mi was still wary and said, "I know Mr. Hengbi is disappointed, but this place is not suitable for in-depth discussions. Can you choose another place?"

The true form of Hengbi Gong emerged from the statue silently, and floated down to the altar. He raised his hand and pressed Zhao Mi's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Follow me."

Zhao Shu regained his composure, only felt his whole body tense, and the light in front of his eyes flickered.The method of shrinking the earth is to use the earth veins to communicate, and it is not easy to use it. Although Zhao Mi has obtained a shrunken earth talisman from Shi Huoguang, he is still on the way to comprehend it.

What's more, Shrinking Earth's Divine Action cannot easily bring mortals with him, and if he is a little careless, he will be shaken to the point of confusion and panic.

When Zhao Mi stood firm again, he felt that the surroundings were full of fresh air, and he was in an empty valley with half a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the stars were twinkling. .

This place is Tie Gong's cave in the past, and also where Feisheng Immortal Relic is located. Infected by the fresh air, it has now turned into a blessed place in the world.

"Don't worry, this blessed land has its own style of weather. Even if Liang Tao has the ability to see the world and listen to the earth, he can't spy on it." Duke Hengbi led Zhao Mi to a grass pavilion and sat down.

At this time, I saw a group of fat and honest little guys who looked a bit like mice, holding cups and plates with both hands, and quickly put them on the table. , Amber fruit wine.

"The hardships in the mountains are nothing more than these." Duke Hengbi also said sarcastically: "It can't compare with the food and clothing of princes and nobles."

Zhao Mi didn't pay attention, and looked at those naive marmots. They hid outside the pavilion with a smart look, and peeked over from time to time.

"Are they the otter monsters who dug up the fluorescent stone?" Zhao Mi asked.

"That's right." Lord Hengbi said, "This group of otter monsters are restrained by me, and they have a place to live. By the way, let them repair the blessed land. However, these group of otter monsters are short-sighted. Although they are psychic, they are delayed. Cannot take shape."

Zhao Mi pondered for a moment, he would occasionally talk about monster cultivation with Jiang Ru.Because the vitality of the original body is different from ordinary people, most of the fairy scriptures and formulas since ancient times are not suitable for monsters. Unless they are born with extraordinary talents, they can only understand and explore by themselves.

And what Jiang Ru practiced was a method specially modified by Liang Tao for the Jiang family. Zhao Shu once heard Jiang Ru recite it. .

"I can try to guide them." Zhao Mi said.

As soon as the words came out, the group of otter demons immediately cheered up, chirping and shouting, and knelt down and bowed like humans.

"After you left Xingluo County, have you learned these tricks to attract people's hearts?" Duke Hengbi waved his hand lightly to let the otter back down, with a bad tone.

Zhao Mi showed embarrassment: "I disappointed Lord Hengbi."

"I'm really disappointed!" Mr. Hengbi slammed the table, his cups and plates trembling: "I didn't expect that you would join Liang Tao and follow him to set up a Taoist kingdom on earth! Let it be his wishful thinking, you just follow me around what?!"

Zhao Mi didn't answer, and Heng Bigong continued: "You have seen Liang Tao's behavior before, and you have also passed through the door of death yourself, why do you still have to collude with him? Have you become greedy for power and status? Is it? Or is it that this world of mortals has made you lose your heart?"

"It was Liang Tao who took the initiative to find me about the matter of the Dao Kingdom in the world." Zhao Mi said, "It is precisely because I set up an altar in Xingluo County to practice the law to suppress the divine sword, he was attracted by my merits of the law, and thought that This is indispensable to the great cause of the Dao Nation on Earth.”

"Then you can run away!" Duke Hengbi said, "The world is vast, so why do you stick to a corner of Huaxu country? With your ability, why not use it in other countries?"

Zhao Mi shook his head and retorted: "Not to mention whether I can escape from Liang Tao's control, I also can't just give up everything and escape from Huaxu Kingdom. What's more, my ability has been improved step by step in the past, so that I can be recognized by others Otherwise, other countries may not accept and reuse a monk who defected."

"Even if the positive is obedient and the negative is contrary?" Mr. Hengbi said earnestly: "But I see that all your actions now are clearly taking the Dao Kingdom on earth as your career. Could it be that you were also bewitched by Liang Tao?"

"Mr. Hengbi, I am the successor of the Tianxia Dynasty's official tribute." Zhao Mi replied, "There are some things that I still want to confirm personally. Whether it is successful or not, I want to ask for a result so that I can feel at ease."

Duke Hengbi stood up and said, "According to you, there were officials in the Tianxia Dynasty who were supposed to last forever and live forever. Why did the emperor's line be cut off after hundreds of years? The wishful thinking of the Dao Kingdom in the world, you should compare Everyone knows that this matter is absolutely impossible to succeed!"

"If it can't be done, it will be Liang Tao's doom." Zhao Mi said in a deep voice.

Mr. Hengbi paused, and then asked: "Is this your plan? Use rituals and rituals to counter Liang Tao?"

Zhao Mi's expression was serious: "Mr. Hengbi, you are the successor of Mr. Tie and become a city god. Let me ask you, how powerful is your mana?"

"I shouldn't have said that." Duke Hengbi sighed softly: "But since you asked, I can tell you clearly - from Panlong Mountain to the south, to the sea, where the energy of the land veins comes, It is where the mana of this seat reaches, and it is not a problem to cover Xingluo County. If there are also my shrines enshrined in nearby counties, the mana may be more profound."

"What if your shrines are spread all over Huaxu?" Zhao Mi asked again.

Duke Hengbi was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head slightly: "Virtue is not worthy, such a great sacrifice, I will immediately be devoured by the incense and vows."

Zhao Mi said: "Mr. Hengbi should understand at this time, why the emperor, the empress, and the five virtues are all innate and sacred without selfishness, desires and desires? If there is a selfish heart, how can we bear the trust and wishes of all beings?" ? How to reflect the creation of heaven and earth?"

Duke Hengbi asked: "Do you think that with Liang Tao's selfish heart, once he goes to the altar to practice the law and tries to control the power of the world, he will immediately suffer backlash?"

"This is not a backlash, but a hurdle he has to face." Zhao Mi said, "Mr. Hengbi asked me what plan I have, so I can also say clearly that I have no plan, because I don't need to be deceived at all. Liang Tao."

This answer really surprised Duke Hengbi, and Zhao Mi went on to say, "Actually, I doubt that Liang Tao himself understands this matter. After all, he is a living fairy family, and some things are naturally clear when they reach the realm."

"What if Liang Tao passed this test?" Duke Heng Bi asked again.

"Then Liang Tao will no longer be Liang Tao." Zhao Mi said, "Heaven and earth are selfless, this is not something Liang Tao can resist. Since he has chosen this path, he must take responsibility."

Liang Tao intends to become the god of the divine way, and if he wants to control the energy of heaven and earth, he must set up rules and regulations.And those who preside over the laws and regulations cannot escape from the laws and regulations. Liang Tao's cultivation level will be deeply embedded in the new discipline laws and regulations in the future. .

At the beginning, Zhao Mi practiced methods to collect the plague at the altar beside the Guanjing Well in Jianjia, and almost dispelled it on the altar, because his own true energy, mana, cultivation level, body, spirit, soul, and discipline were indistinguishable from each other.

Although Liang Tao has made great achievements in the immortal way, what he has to face in the future is a new and complete testament, as well as a more vast and vast creation of the world. Even if he can barely keep himself, the Xianjia Xiaoyao may not have a chance for him .

Zhao Shu himself is proficient in scientific rituals and rituals, especially when refining the souls of the dead, he has to bear and face all kinds of misery of the dead.And when Liang Tao really tries to master the energy of heaven and earth, all living beings in the world will come together, and even Zhao Mi dare not imagine such a scene.

During these days, Zhao Mi edited the ceremony and was also thinking about how to deal with it and resolve it.But even though he exhausted his previous knowledge, he couldn't find a feasible solution.Either Liang Tao will perish directly on the altar, or he will become the mainstay of the movement of the world's energy. There is no third way.

However, Zhao Mi knew very well that he couldn't do it at all, so he pinned his hopes on Liang Tao. He was looking forward to Liang Tao's way out of a way that he couldn't even think of.

"It's too risky." Duke Hengbi said, "Aside from other things, what if Liang Tao chooses to kill you first before finally ascending to the altar, and then put all his eggs in one basket? Do you have a way to deal with it yourself?"

"At that time, there is nothing I can do." Zhao Mi was in a daze, and he found that unconsciously, he and Liang Tao seemed to regard each other as an opportunity to realize their ideals at the same time.
