Kunlun one millet

Chapter 371

Jiang Ru wore a veiled hat and stepped out of the carriage. In front of her was a heavily guarded prison city. Armored soldiers patrolled around. Ballistas could be seen faintly in the watchtower high above. A person can also break all kinds of illusions that hide his figure.

"Mansion Master, this is the soul-suppressing prison where monks are detained." A military official next to him cupped his hands and said.

Jiang Ru lifted the curtain lightly to look at it, and asked, "Such restrictions are not set by ordinary people, do they?"

The military official replied: "The restriction in the prison was arranged by Master Shi Huoguang himself."

"Shi Huoguang?" Jiang Ru was puzzled: "I heard that this person was once the head of the Huaxu State Huaiying Pavilion, and most of the detainees in this soul-suppressing prison were monks from the Huaxu State Pavilion in the past. You are not afraid of him secretly confining in the prison. Hands and feet, release the monks inside?"

The military officer said with a smile: "Master Shi Huoguang understands the righteousness, and he took refuge in us very early... He took refuge in Chiyundu, and he is definitely not the same as these monks who resisted to the end. What's more, Lord Shi Huoguang is only responsible for imposing restrictions. The guards are still our responsibility.”

Jiang Ru looked at the officer, "Are you also from Chiyundu?"

The military officials looked slightly embarrassed: "It is reasonable to say that Chi Yun has been abolished according to the order, but many of us can't change our words. Please don't spread rumors about Qingtong Mansion."

"You Xiong Guo is magnanimous, and still uses you people from Chiyundu." Jiang Ru sighed softly: "I have also seen Huaxu's methods back then, killing millions of soldiers and civilians in Chiyundu. "

"So whether it's the Huaxu Kingdom or the Dongyang Kingdom, they all have a deep hatred against us Chiyun." The military official said: "But now that the war is over and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, we don't need to start another incident. If we can't survive, Who is willing to fight to the death?"

"What about the three elders of Chiyun?" Jiang Ru asked, "I heard they are still in Cangwu Ridge?"

"The three elders are now setting up a sect in Cangwu Ridge. It is said that they were invited to preach the fairy scriptures in the emperor's capital a while ago. I didn't have the luck to listen to it." : "Who is the Master of the Qingtong Palace visiting this time? I'll go in and make an announcement, so that the inside can make some preparations."

"Xin Shunying, former Crown Princess of Dongyang Kingdom." Jiang Ru took out a document from her sleeve: "This is the official document of approval, please have a look."

The military officials took the official documents, entered the prison city, and walked out again not long after, leading Jiang Ru to a small courtyard in the middle.

"Palace master, please come in, we will wait outside." The military official raised his hand to signal, but did not enter the courtyard.

Jiang Ru noticed that the small courtyard has added a strong restriction, even if she is inside, she will become like an ordinary person.

Sighing softly in her heart, Jiang Ru entered the small courtyard, and saw cloth towels and clothes drying in the open space, and the sound of beating the cloth came from the backyard.

Going around to the backyard, she saw Xin Shunying, who looked like a servant in coarse linen clothes, beating clothes with a mallet. When she saw Jiang Ru approaching, she froze and didn't speak.

Jiang Ru took off her veil and said, "Miss Xin, do you still remember me?"

Xin Shunying was at a loss for a while, and then showed an expression of disbelief: "Jiang Ru? You, are you still alive?"

"Surprised, isn't it?" Jiang Ru smiled lightly: "I never thought that a master of divination who can predict the future will be reduced to what he is now, relying on washing people's clothes to atone for his sins and save his life."

Xin Shunying's complexion changed suddenly, unwillingness, resentment, and anger flashed one after another, and finally there was only a deep loneliness, the whole person was depressed, and his hands could not move.

"Did you come here specially to laugh at me?" Xin Shunying lowered her head and asked.

"Yaochi Kingdom was destroyed, Zhu Rong fled alive or dead, the situation in the Western Lands is roughly settled, the imperial court issued an amnesty, and some monks who were imprisoned were also included in the amnesty." Jiang Ru said.

Xin Shunying looked up at the other party: "You actually took refuge in Youxiong Kingdom? That's right, didn't Zhao Mi use Youxiong Kingdom to take revenge on us?"

"It seems that you still don't understand." Jiang Ru said: "With Zhao Mi's ability, if you really want to take revenge on the Huaxu country, you will have died long ago without a place to bury you. How can you allow you to live until now? Like you, the former court The Crown Princess, makes many people salivate, but you must not be aware that if Zhao Mi hadn't secretly instructed you to be imprisoned here and do hard labor, you would have become someone else's plaything long ago."

"Do you still want me to thank you?" Xin Shunying asked rhetorically.

"I'm just feeling, when you father and daughter thought you were smart back then, did you expect to end up like this?" Jiang Ru put on her veiled hat again, looked at the silent Xin Shunying, and said without any intention of playing tricks:

"Your father was pardoned last year, because he was inherited from Tianxia Dynasty Zhanhou Master, and the imperial court can use him to compile scriptures. Your father knows that you are still alive, and hopes to use this amnesty to rescue you from the soul-suppressing prison." .”

When Xin Shunying heard the news, she froze in place at first, and then shed two lines of tears.Looking at her skinny face and disheveled hair due to hard labor, Jiang Ru didn't feel complacent, but felt that the world was impermanent.

"Since you haven't committed suicide, you can bear with it for a while longer, and the amnesty will be delivered soon." Jiang Ru left a last sentence: "I am here this time to advise you, you should let go of the past grievances." , don’t be boring yourself.”

After saying these words, Jiang Ru turned and left, and when she walked out of the Soul Suppressing Prison, she also felt relieved.When she boarded the carriage, she was surprised to see Zhao Mi sitting inside.

"Are you here on purpose to show off?" Zhao Mi said, "Now that the victory or defeat has been decided, why do you want to provoke Xin Shunying?"

"I was worried that she would mess around after she was pardoned, so I came to remind her." Jiang Ru sat down and said, "Since you are here, why don't you go and see her?"

"There's nothing to see." Zhao Mi said, "I'm dying, so there's no need to talk about it."

"You can be regarded as a master of the immortal family now, and it is difficult to see you." Jiang Ru looked at Zhao Mi with soft eyes.

"What about you?" Zhao Mi asked, "It seems that Qingtong Island is well taken care of by you?"

"If you hadn't killed all the masters of the Donghai factions in one fell swoop, it would be impossible for our Qingtongzhou to annex many Donghai caves." Jiang Ru said: "Although the Chongxuan Pavilion is gone, we plan to open another one in Qingtongzhou. Inherited in one line, everyone elected me as the head of the Qingtong Palace.

However, compared to Kunlun Continent, although the waters of the East China Sea are vast, the atmosphere of the Immortals is a little shallower, so I took the opportunity to take the initiative to pay tribute to a batch of treasures of the East China Sea, in order to seek trade convenience.A few days ago, I was summoned and went to the imperial capital. "

"It seems that we missed it before." Zhao Mi said.

"What? You also went to the imperial capital? Why didn't you hear the news?" Jiang Ru asked.

Zhao Mi replied blankly: "I'm preparing for some important matters."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Ru couldn't help but feel anxious: "What are you... planning to risk?"

"Although the Yaochi Kingdom is destroyed, the Baixiang King is not dead, and now there are evil gods coveting Kunlun Continent, I plan to destroy them in one battle." Zhao Mi looked out of the car: "In order to ensure success, I want to spread the mandala widely." , commanding all the gods to ascend to the altar in the quicksand of the Western Wilderness."

"You—" Jiang Ru's eyes widened, she couldn't help but leaned forward, grabbed Zhao Mi's sleeve, and asked eagerly, "Do you know what you're doing?!"

"I know." Zhao Mi nodded firmly and said, "But what I want to do is different from Liang Tao. I ascended to the altar and ascended to the altar to attract the king of Baixiang and the evil god of the outer world to appear together."

"I, can I persuade you not to go?" Jiang Ru couldn't help crying: "Do you know why I came back to Kunlun Island?"

Zhao Mi looked at Jiang Ru and sighed: "I finally understand now why Liang Tao had to meet Ding Muqiu at the last moment. I thought I could cut through all human desires, but I still couldn't resist coming to see her." you."

Jiang Ru smiled through tears: "What are you doing? When you are about to die, do you feel that you have feelings for me?"

"I can't say for sure." Zhao Mi smiled helplessly: "It's just that at this last moment, it's inevitable that I have to look back. Most of the people I knew and made friends with in the past have passed away, and I feel that I have to say goodbye to my past self."

Jiang Ru looked sad: "I thought that as long as I worked hard enough, I could catch up with you, but it turned out..."

"In life, there is always a time to say goodbye, whether it is dying at the end of life, or being promoted." Zhao Mi said: "I am going here for the sake of the world, to testify to my vows, and I am not forced or helpless."

Hearing this, Jiang Ru could only let go of her hand slowly, and said, "Then I wish you a successful and safe journey with your wishes certified."

……

"Are you going on a long journey?"

After the Xiong Kingdom annexed the Eastern Land, the original Huaiying Pavilion was greatly reduced. Most of the monks who assisted the Luo family and his son in their resistance to the end were thrown into the Soul Suppressing Prison, banned and imprisoned, but a few were appointed.

Although the Huaiying Hall is still preserved as one of the various halls in the Xiong Kingdom, it is only because the Huaiying Hall is regarded by the world as an accomplice of Luo Yi's usurping the throne, so not many people come to learn from it today.

Interestingly, after the war ended, Shi Huoguang declined Youxiong's appointment and returned to the Huaiying Pavilion. He did not take the first seat, but focused on refining the magic weapon he was most familiar with.

When Zhao Shu returned to Huaiying Pavilion, he saw that there were few people there. His former dormitory was full of dust, and many courtyard houses were destroyed in the turmoil.

When Shi Huoguang went out to get some fresh air occasionally, he saw Zhao Mi cleaning up the broken bricks and tiles with his hands, and hurried forward to talk, and only then did he learn about Zhao Mi's situation.

"I plan to go to the Quicksand Land in the Western Wilderness, and it may take a long time." Zhao Mi said.

"You...are you going to do something important?" Shi Huoguang also knelt down and cleaned up the broken bricks with him.

"Is it that obvious? You can't hide it at all?" Zhao Mi couldn't help laughing.

"It's exactly the same as your teacher." Shi Huoguang raised his eyes and looked at Houshan: "In the early years, I didn't know his plans, but I saw him occasionally in a daze. Looking back now, whenever he was about to set off to do big things, he would also They're all as absent-minded as you."

"Am I absent-minded?" Zhao Mi asked.

Shi Huoguang threw away a broken brick: "The Huaiying Pavilion has been like this for several years, and no one has cared about it. I just came back here because it is quiet. Your cultivation base is much higher than before, and you won't even be here. I don't want to understand."

Zhao Mi nodded repeatedly, like a junior who had been taught a lesson by his teacher.

"I have nothing to teach you now. What you have to do is not something I can help." Shi Huoguang's mood has become much clearer over the years: "Just do it, I don't need you to trouble me here."

When the two were talking, a young man brought a shovel and a cart that he found from nowhere. He saw Zhao Mi and the two turned their heads and looked back, and said, "I saw that Mr. Shi and you are cleaning up, so I took it away." Here come the tools."

Zhao Mi looked at the young man and found that he looked familiar. Shi Huoguang explained: "Do you still remember the Wang Juncheng in Xingluo County? This is his grandson, and he was specially sent to Huaiying Hall, saying that he wanted to be my apprentice."

"Wang Juncheng? How is he doing now?" Zhao Mi asked.

The young man said slightly downcast: "Grandfather passed away two years ago."

Zhao Mi was silent for a while when he heard the words, he saw the young man cleaning up the broken bricks and was about to help, but Shi Huoguang waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go and do your work, we can take care of these trivial matters. "

Zhao Mi was helpless, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he went to the Baopu Pavilion on the back hill of Huaiying Pavilion and sat there for a day and a night.

"Teacher, I understand your decision back then." Zhao Mi took out the Shouji sword and lowered his head to look at it carefully: "If you have the wish, and when it is time to prove your breakthrough, you must use that sword. If you want to turn around, you will definitely kill yourself .”

With a clear mind, Zhao Mi walked out of the pavilion holding the Shouji Sword in his hand, then turned around and bowed to the empty Baopu Pavilion. Examine Zhao Mi.

It was both thanks and farewell, Zhao Mi put away the divine sword, and then flew into the sky, went straight to the southwest, and landed in the mountains near Fumi Valley.

Zhao Mi's parents were buried here together. Now that the war is subsiding, Fu Mirage Valley is no longer the dangerous place filled with mirage and smog, but has become a business road with frequent traffic of vehicles and horses. , a thriving scene.

Fortunately, there was no disturbance in the mountains and fields, and the parents' graves were also protected by an enchantment. Except for the overgrown weeds, there was no other abnormality.

After Zhao Mi came here, he sprinkled it a little bit, then knelt down in front of the tomb and bowed down, saying: "My child is not filial. I haven't waited in front of the spirit for many years. What I want to do in the future is related to the world of Kunlun Island. I'm afraid I won't be able to come again." .”

Zhao Mi bowed down and kowtowed, suddenly there was a breeze around the tomb, for some reason, Zhao Mi's heart suddenly became more stable, all hesitation, hesitation, flickering, suspicion disappeared into nothingness, and he regained his original heart of innocence.

Standing up and raising his head again, Zhao Mi's appearance changed drastically. The heavens and the earth gathered together, Yin and Yang and the five elements gathered together, and all the laws of the heavens merged, just like the emperor who is about to ascend the throne.

Without further words, Zhao Mi raised his feet and took a step. Instead of flying into the sky, he walked directly and moved thousands of miles away, ignoring thousands of mountains and rivers, and came to the quicksand land in the western wasteland in one step.
