Kunlun one millet

Chapter 38

"The lord of the country has become more and more disobedient recently."

In the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace, Liang Tao's falcon-eyed face appeared in the mirror of Sigui, slightly annoyed: "How do you do things in Xingluo County? You can't control the mere feat of suppressing bandits in your hands, how can you entrust them to you in the future?" Heavy duty?"

Liang Shuo respectfully replied: "Grandfather, it's not because my grandson is lazy. The Huaiying Hall has been very courteous, and Wei Xiuwen used to be an old member of the Luo family. With such a collusion, it is difficult for my grandson to intervene. What's more, the immortal has become more and more stagnant recently. After each summoning, it takes a long time to condense the Qi and consolidate the true form."

Liang Tao said: "In the final analysis, the immortal general is just a hawk and dog at your hand. He occasionally throws down a few pieces of meat as a reward. Even if there is no immortal general to cheer him on, he should communicate more with other museums to lure him, intimidate him, and ask him to Create a situation where it will be difficult for you to suppress the bandits without you, so that others can come to beg you."

"I'm afraid this matter has also been disturbed by the Huaiying Museum." Liang Shuo said, "Zhang Duanjing has a student named Zhao Shu. They followed each other."

"Zhao Mi? Someone who has never heard of it." Liang Tao snorted coldly: "Since such people are doing bad things, we should find an opportunity to kill them."

"Grandfather, please listen to your grandson." Liang Shuo hurriedly explained: "Grandson has recently noticed that Zhao Shu and Luo Xixian have a rift with each other. Instead of killing him, you might as well win over him a little bit, maybe in the future you can help him I work for the Yongjia Liang family, thus drawing the bottom line and shaking the inheritance of the Huaiying Museum in the future."

Liang Tao said: "If this person catches your eye, he must have some merits. Anyway, you can let go and do it."

Liang Shuo nodded in agreement, and then asked: "My lord grandfather just mentioned the sovereign, could it be that something has changed in the court?"

"The Chiyun rebels forged a magic sword in Panlong Mountain, and it was exaggerated by Xin Taicheng, which made that white-faced child restless." Liang Tao sneered: "Zhang Duanjing also wants to volunteer to go to Xingluo County, so that he can fully grasp the art of suppressing bandits In hand, I rejected it."

Liang Shuo murmured, "The Lord has been too partial to the Huaxuan Pavilion these years, completely ignoring me that the Chongxuan Pavilion is the cornerstone of the Huaxu Kingdom."

"How old is the white-faced kid, so it's inevitable that he thinks he can plan big things." Liang Tao said in a bad tone, "Plus that Zhu Zimaid has been in contact with Zhang Duanjing for a long time, so he must be thinking every day about how to bring down the Chongxuan Pavilion so that they can control the government. "

Liang Shuo said: "Grandfather, please forgive my grandson for speaking bluntly. The reason why the Lord is so attentive, except for Mrs. Zhu Zi's secret support and Huaiying Hall's frequent dedication, is probably related to the slight decline of Chongxuan Hall. In addition to us Yongjia The Liang family, and the other three families can be said to have no successors.

When grandson came to Xingluo County, he deeply felt that there was no one under his command, and most of the children in the clan were empty talkers.If my Chongxuan Pavilion produces a large number of talents, with disciples all over the government and the public, how can other halls be praised?At that time, the lord of the country will also understand that if you leave my Chongxuan Hall, you will lose your country! "

"Why don't I know?" Liang Tao also had a bit of helplessness on his face: "The children and grandchildren of the three families are really hopeless. There was an uproar in the court because of the fact that the [-] soldiers and horses were empty. The few of them kicked out the offenders, and only then managed to save the situation. Now I have to clean up the situation in Dongshengdu, and I can't spare to go to Xingluo County. You have to do things well and beautifully there. .”

"That's why my grandson thinks that besides weeding out the incompetent people, we should also bring in talented people." Liang Shuo said, "In the past, if monks from other halls wanted to enter our Chongxuan Hall, they had to be recommended by the head of each house. It seems that a threshold has been set up so that the Chongxuan Museum can select the best from the best and select talents, but each museum is unwilling to give up the talented and underachievers.

Although the Chongxuan Pavilion holds the rich legacy of the Tianxia Dynasty, it actually guards the treasure mountain empty and has no place to use it.If some rare treasures, panaceas, and fairy scriptures can be allocated from the library to attract talents from various schools, the atmosphere of Chongxuan Pavilion may be renewed. "

"Although this method is good, but you have to forget one thing." Liang Tao said with gazing eyes: "There are differences between inside and outside!"

"Yes." Liang Shuo lowered his head and replied.

After the light and shadow on the four-gui mirror dissipated, Liang Shuo fell down on the couch with disgust on his face, and rang a golden bell on the side with his fingers, and Jiang Ru walked into the palace room.

"My lord seems to be displeased?" Jiang Ru waited on the incense burner: "Do you want my concubine to resolve it?"

"Are you so looking forward to taking my Yuanyang to practice?" Liang Shuo asked.

Jiang Ru lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, her show was charming: "Young master's words make me look down on my concubine."

Liang Shuo got up and stared at Jiang Ru, stretched out his hand to lift her chin, the other party blinked his watery eyes, and exhaled warm breath from his cherry lips: "My lord..."

"If I asked you to apologize to Zhao Mi, would you go?"

Jiang Ruyi was just getting excited, but was drowned by Liang Shuo's basin of cold water. She showed a panicked look: "What is the meaning of this, sir? Could it be that my concubine made a mistake and made you angry?"

Liang Shuo said, "You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I need a reason to drag Zhao Mi under the door of my Chongxuan Pavilion."

Jiang Ru was puzzled: "My lord, this Zhao Mi has robbed you of the limelight many times, why do you still value him so much?"

"You really don't understand?" Liang Shuo said with a faint smile, "First, I really need someone who can work hard for Mrs. Liang, not a bunch of incompetent people who waste money. Secondly, both Zhao Mi and Luo Xixian are pregnant The young talents in the Yingguan, given time, may become a big problem for our Chongxuan Pavilion in the future. We must leave a rift between them early, divide the Huaying Pavilion, and at the same time take advantage of the situation to bring Zhao Mi under his command."

Jiang Ru asked: "The last time Zhao Mi came here, he seemed to be aware of the son's divorce. I'm afraid I won't be able to see the merit if I go again this time."

"So what if Zhao Mi can see through it alone?" Liang Shuo said, "When you go here, you not only need to apologize to Zhao Mi for disturbing the Dharma altar, convey the goodwill of Chongxuan Hall for me, but also make friends with Luo Xixian. "

Jiang Ru's delicate body trembled slightly, and she asked, "My lord, is this concubine trying to separate Zhao and Luo with her beauty?"

Liang Shuo said with a smile: "If the two of them are lustful, then use sex to lure them."

Jiang Ru couldn't believe it, and suppressed her anger: "My lord, is this concubine really going to do such a thing?"

"You don't have to go, I'll find another way." Liang Shuo tilted his face: "But Chongxuan Pavilion doesn't support idlers, just so, Mr. Wang's family has long wanted to make friends with your sisters, I'll write a book, you guys Let’s move to Wang’s house later.”

Jiang Ru has long heard about the son of the Wang family's cruelty to concubines. If he took refuge in such scum, Jiang would be wiped out by him within a few years.But thinking that all the members of the whole family have bowed their knees and flattered Mrs. Liang all these years, the two aunts wanted to make double repair furnaces for Liang Tao, but in the end they were treated like this?
"My concubine obeys orders." Jiang Ru did not dare to disobey Liang Shuo after all, she was restrained by him early on, if she disobeyed, she would have to bear the pain of thousands of arrows piercing her heart.

"In addition to the necessary elixirs, spiritual materials, and magic weapons, you should also bring the volume of "Golden Water Forming Method"." Liang Shuo Zhizhu said, "I have seen that Zhao Mi's spells are mostly based on the Lord of the Golden Elephant. , this method is expected to be consistent with him."

"Yes."

……

Zhao Mi tied his sleeves and rolled his trousers, held a shovel, and covered the corpse with soil.

Looking up, hundreds of corpses were placed in the pit. Some of them lost their heads, some lost their hands and feet, and most of them were incompletely eaten by wild dogs and crows.

Zhao Mi has seen similar situations more than once in market towns and villages around Yuyang County.

After being ravaged by thieves and evil spirits, these market towns and villages can be called ten rooms and nine empty spaces.Zhao Mi led hundreds of soldiers. Apart from eliminating sporadic spirits and monsters, the main task was actually to bury the corpses and clean up the ruins.

At first when Zhao Mi picked up the shovel, the soldiers were startled. Where have they seen monks and immortals doing hard work in person?Later, it was Zhao Mi who took the initiative to explain that he had fled with his grandfather in the past and had seen many similar tragedies.At that time, his grandfather was carrying a handy shovel, and he would bury corpses in the countryside when he encountered starvation on the side of the road.

After Zhao Mi and the soldiers buried the corpse securely, Zhao Mi opened an altar in front of the joint burial mound to perform rituals and save the dead souls.

"...Six degrees without ending calamity, luck returns with great luck. Tens of thousands of ghosts spread across the sky, and the group of murderers spit out their power. Zhaomin bears the burden of disasters, and corpses are sad. Wonderful orthodox French, the reason for the catastrophe is not fading. To When the time comes, welcome each other, and the deed will fly in the nine heavens. Peace with you, rest assured that there will be no flying..."

In front of the deserted tomb in the wild, hundreds of soldiers stood silently and silently, watching Zhao Mi reciting the scriptures of the dead soul, and the smoke from the incense burner rose upwards, as if sending the resentful ghosts wandering here to the heaven of peace, away from them. This world of suffering.

After the ceremony was over, all the soldiers took a rest. Zhao Mi found a wooden board, wrote the words "the resting place of the people of Huangyang Township", and inserted it in front of the joint burial mound.

"Is this soul saving instrument your family heirloom?" Lingxiao asked.

"That's right." Zhao Mi sighed secretly: "Our ancestor of the Zhao family was the ceremonial officer of the Tianxia Dynasty, and his main duty was to assist the court in offering sacrifices. I have read all kinds of scriptures and calligraphy books of Zhaijiao rituals since I was a child. How effective are they? Said, at least prolonging life, eliminating disasters and collecting blessings, exorcising evil spirits and guarding houses, and saving dead souls, all kinds of arrangements are well known."

"The Rites and Rituals are used physically and mentally by those who practice the Dharma, rather than elaborate and cumbersome arrangements." Lingxiao said.

"Grandpa also said that." Zhao Mi looked up at the sky: "But even though I have studied this way since I was a child, I am still confused now. Where are the souls who have been saved? There are countless scriptures about the so-called soul returning to heaven and soul returning to earth." I have exhausted my words to describe the beauty and extraordinaryness of the heavenly realm. But when I look at the earthly world again, all I see is dilapidated and dilapidated. If I am trapped here, how can I let my soul return to the heaven of peace?"

"You haven't proved the way of immortality, and you don't understand some things when I tell you." Lingxiao said, "But what you are doing now is not meaningless. Even if you don't mention life and death, the doubt in your heart at this moment is precisely Enlightenment is the key to enlightenment."

"Enlightenment? Does this count?" Zhao Mi's nose turned sour: "Buried a few corpses, recited a few crooked scriptures, I really don't know what this has to do with the Dao?"

"Embrace death and life, observe success or failure, if you don't practice it yourself, it is absolutely difficult to understand." Lingxiao said.

Zhao Mi stood in front of the grave for a long time, silent, until a soldier called out: "Zhao Fuli, we have already started a partnership, do you want to come together?"

"En." Zhao Mi responded, carrying the newly made bamboo boxes, and came to the temporary camp. A soldier offered to hand over hot soup, which contained shredded and soaked dough.Dozens of other soldiers gathered and chatted with Zhao Mi while eating.

The soldiers got along with Zhao Mi for a while, knowing that this "immortal elder" had no airs, dozens of elders gathered together, chatting and laughing.

"Zhao Fuli, I heard the old man say that if there is a corpse somewhere, the local people can't easily bury it in the ground after death, and they have to burn it all. But you have taken us all the way. Why are the corpses buried?" a soldier asked.

"We are eating! How boring you are talking about!" Others complained.

After Zhao Mi swallowed a piece of bread, he said, "If there is no reason for the resurrection of the corpse, and there is no magician monk to practice the method of saving the dead soul, burning the corpse is indeed an emergency method. But this method is difficult to implement, not because of other reasons. If you want to completely burn the corpse, you need to spend a lot of firewood. Think about it, if you don’t have enough firewood for cooking, will you still use it to burn the corpse?”

A soldier echoed and said: "That's right, when I was young, I would go to the forest to gather branches for firewood. It would be nice to have hot food every day at home. There are dead people in the countryside, and they have no money to buy a coffin. The corpse was rolled up in a bamboo mat and buried hastily." , not even a monument.”

As soon as this remark came out, some soldiers talked about their experiences when they were young. One said he stole the chicken from Zhuangtou's family, and the other said that the family could not afford to raise children.

Zhao Mi was listening, not too embarrassed to continue.In fact, for evil monks who are proficient in manipulating corpses and souls, even if the corpse is burned by fire, the ashes can still be used to seduce ghosts and even be used as medicine.The vicious methods of the evil cultivator are far beyond the imagination of these ordinary soldiers. If you say it in public, everyone will stop eating this meal.

To prevent the corpse from being driven by sorcery, it is best to set up an altar to practice methods like Zhao Shu just did, to dissipate the turbidity, to save the soul of the dead, or to place spiritual objects in the tomb.If there is a ritual god in the local area, it is usually responsible for guarding one side of the nether world and distinguishing between yin and yang.

Zhao Mi has been inspecting the territory of Yuyang County these days, but he has not encountered the evil spirit who can drive the walking dead, so he simply buries the dead body and saves the soul wherever he goes, which is equivalent to cutting off the evil spirit The "reinforcements".

"By the way, Zhao Fuli, you said that you fled with your grandfather when you were young." A soldier asked curiously, "We thought that monks like you should be pampered, so why do you want to flee everywhere?"

"What's so strange about this?" Zhao Mi said, "My ancestral home is in Xuanwu County, and Xiong Guo once captured that area, so my grandfather had to take me to escape."

A soldier said: "I know, at that time, Xiongguo was almost going to hit Dongshengdu, and we almost couldn't hold it. Later, the immortal elders from the Chongxuan Hall took action and repelled Youxiongguo."

Some veteran soldiers kicked secretly, signaling not to show off the Chongxuan Pavilion in front of Zhao Mi.

"It's okay." Zhao Mi smiled and said, "Cultivators like us, even if we don't say it, we still yearn for the Chongxuan Pavilion in our hearts. Just like you look forward to having wine and meat every day, and having a good food and clothing."

"It's better to hold a caring woman!" A soldier added, which immediately caused a roar of laughter.
