Kunlun one millet

Chapter 46

Immortal General Hengbi didn't stay for too long. He was worried that Liang Shuo would notice that he would be noticed by Zhao Shu's invitation to show his appearance.

"What are you kidding?" Zhao Mi sat on the bed, feeling uneasy in his heart, thinking about what he had just learned.

"The cave collapsed and the immortal family fell, such an evil god outside the sky is not unusual." Lingxiao said.

Zhao Mi promised Hengbi not to reveal the secret, but this did not prevent Lingxiao from listening in on the whole process.

"It's the first time I've heard of such a powerful evil god." Zhao Mi frowned, what Hengbi said was far beyond his comprehension.

"There is a sky beyond the sky, you have not yet reached the realm, so don't worry about it." Ling Xiao appeared, flicked his sleeves to play with the smoke, and turned into a cloud bed and lay lightly on it.

Zhao Mi adjusted his breath a little, and got rid of his uneasy thoughts: "That's right, there is a tall man to support the sky falling. It's just that Liang Tao can replace Qingya Zhenjun and control the Cave Heaven and Wonderland. How did such a thing happen? "

"The fairy family who opened up the cave may not necessarily be the one who ruled the cave." Lingxiao drew smoke from his fingertips, forming a palace-like shape: "In ancient times, there were immortal families who opened up the cave, and they didn't intend to stay in it for a long time, or traveled around. The sky, or the world of mortals looming, the cave sky will be handed over to the immortal officials."

Zhao Mi nodded and said, "I also know this saying, "The master of the cave, but according to the fairy scriptures, the one who governs the cave is also the master of the Tao, right?"

"That's right." Lingxiao explained in detail: "Medicines are divided into good and bad, and immortals are superior and inferior. Those who are both wonderful in form and spirit, and who open up the cave are called Gaozhen Shangxian, known as Zhenjun and Yuanjun; ascending to the cave and opening the mansion Setting up a courtyard, or called Xianqing and Zhenfei, is second to the immortals, and can also rule the cave.

Further down, going back and forth to the cave and traveling to famous mountains is called Zhongxian; enclosing the palm of a mountain, staying in the world for longevity, or leading the blessed land, controlling ghosts and gods, is the second Zhongxian, and it has also been called Earth Immortal in modern times.As for the streams of bigu jueli and no shadow in the middle of the day, they should belong to the lower immortals; if the body is dissected and decomposed, and it has experienced the lunar eclipse, it will be the next lower immortal. "

Zhao Mi was an eye-opener. Out of respect, he used to call him "Shangxian of Lingxiao" occasionally, but he didn't expect it to be appropriate.Judging from Ling Xiao's ability to open up the cave on her own, she can indeed be regarded as a high-end immortal.

"Although the master of the cave can be compared to the emperors and kings of the mortal world, they are quite different. You must connect your own cultivation and aura with the laws of the cave, so that you can dispatch thousands of real saints, generals, soldiers and horses in the cave." Ling Xiao continued:

"Regardless of the scale and scenery of the cave, it is always developed by the power of the law of the sky and the earth. Even if the middle and lower immortals are promoted by the enlightenment of the talisman, they will not be able to kill the cave. Then Liang Tao can control the Qingya realm, presumably. The law of the cave was shaken by the evil gods. But his cultivation should not be underestimated, and the mastery of the cave is much more difficult than summoning the generals."

Zhao Mi replied: "Liang Tao has always been the head of the Chongxuan Hall, and is generally recognized as the number one monk of Hua Xu."

"Since this person has replaced True Monarch Qingya in controlling the cave, he is at least second among the immortals." Lingxiao reminded, "Especially when his cultivation is connected with the cave, even if most of the Qingya realm collapses, he can still vomit at any time." Nadongtian Qingqi assists self-cultivation."

Zhao Mi thought about it: "Wouldn't this be taking advantage of the magic of the cave and strengthening yourself?"

Lingxiao replied: "That's true. However, according to the fairy general Hengbi, Liang Tao was the only descendant of the Liang family who could understand the cave. In a hurry, if you want to keep the rest of the cave, you can only use Liang Tao as the cave. Lord."

Zhao Mi knocked on the real-shaped talisman: "Heng Bi, the immortal general, seems to have a lot of complaints about the Liang family. He will not be an immortal general after leaving the cave, and he wants to become a mortal only. Does this count as self-defeating?"

Lingxiao flicked his sleeves, and the smoke changed into a line of officials: "The law and the officials are in line with the weather in the cave. If Liang Tao's body and mind are not in line with the law, the officials will not like it. Even if the mortals in the world meet each other, they must be like-minded. Talking is not speculative. If you don't agree with each other, you will be driven by it. If it were you, would you like it?"

Zhao Mi shivered: "I don't want to."

"That's it." Lingxiao said coldly, "However, being able to force an immortal general who was enlightened by the true monarch to find an outsider rather than try to get away, the Liang family can be said to have squandered the immortal ancestor Yu Yin."

"Should I help this immortal general Hengbi?" Zhao Mi asked: "Although I am happy to see Mr. Liang suffer, but I always feel that this is not appropriate. Right now we are still suppressing bandits, and this immortal general is Chongxuanguan The key to intimidating Xiao Xiao and beheading the enemy's head. And if I really help Hengbi, I will definitely provoke Liang's revenge. Let alone entering the Chongxuan Pavilion, I am afraid that even the Huaiying Pavilion will be greatly implicated. "

"There is no need to rush this matter now." Lingxiao said, "Do you still remember that Liang Shuo once said that it was his family's immortal general's proposal to place the Jiutian Yuntai in the Tiegong Temple? If the matter fails, he will not let Liang Shuo leave the Tiegong Temple easily, and Liang Shuo is probably happy to enjoy peace in the back."

Zhao Mi nodded in agreement, and Lingxiao continued: "As for Liang's revenge, if Hengbi doesn't say anything, they may not be able to find out that it was you."

"I tried the enchantment of Tiegong Temple before." Zhao Mi denied: "It is estimated that it will be difficult to fully activate it with my cultivation base and mana alone. Unless a large enough mandala ritual is arranged to pull the truth The people from the gymnasium came to assist and cooperate, and then used the Chonghui armillary sphere in Xin Xuejie's hand as a pivot to forcefully activate the barrier... But this kind of movement is too big, I can't avoid it, and Liang Shuo will not sit idly by."

"Hengbi just wants to connect the enchantment of the shrine. If there is a way to activate the enchantment on its own, no one will find you." Lingxiao said.

Zhao Mi was awakened by these words: "That's right, the immortal general Hengbi also said that the enchantment of the Tiegong Temple has not been silent for a long time, but has been deliberately suppressed. Tiegong abandoned the throne for nearly a hundred years, and the enchantment of the shrine is equivalent to nothing." Lord, how could you be suppressed and locked up?"

……

"Why does Zhao Fuli suddenly want to inquire about Master Fang?"

In the government office of the county government, Wang Juncheng talked with Zhao Mi, and he couldn't help asking after knowing Zhao Mi's intentions.

"Just curious." Zhao Mi waved his hand: "Look, Mr. Wang, there is such a rich man and rich gentry in the local area who has made a lot of contributions to the suppression of bandits. It is very common to have a good relationship with him. I heard that in order to make up for Mr. Fang For additional taxes, Master Wang plans to hand over several mines in Xingluo County to him?"

Wang Juncheng replied: "Yes, a few days ago, the imperial court's approval has come down. Xingluo County has experienced banditry, and the population of many counties and townships has dropped significantly, especially a large number of miners who have been bandits. In the past, many mines under the jurisdiction of the imperial court were unable to operate. I can only follow the example of the ancients, temporarily lift the ban on salt and iron in the mountains, and entrust the local wealthy gentry to manage it. The current arrangement is to open it for ten years, and it will be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court when Xingluo County recovers."

Zhao Mi had seen the desolation of the counties and townships in the north, and he did not object to Wang Juncheng's approach, so he said, "Since this is the case, I have to deal with Master Fang even more. Maybe the way to make money for the Huaiying Pavilion in the future will fall on this. "

Wang Juncheng couldn't help but smiled and said: "Zhao Fu's official is really extraordinary. As a student of the museum, he still has to consider the matter of wealth and silk."

"There is no way. The imperial court allocates limited funds every year, and the people around the hall are nothing more than offering ordinary rice grains, cloth, and charcoal. The monks really need many spiritual materials, and they still have to rely on themselves to earn." A stall:
"Actually, I already have a general idea. First, I want to build talisman soldiers for the imperial court. It would be even better if there is a decree for the Huaiying Pavilion to build them specially. Secondly, there are various simple talisman water pills. I plan to put them directly. open and sell to the market and folks.”

Wang Juncheng heard the words and said: "It's okay to say that Fu Bing is nothing more than a government office that is specially built and purchased for the imperial court. However, Fu Shui Dan San is something that high-ranking officials spend money to invite. Is it a bit obvious if it is sold as ordinary goods? ..."

"It's a little disrespectful, Master Wang wants to say this?" Zhao Mi smiled and said, "I thought so too in the past. The alchemy formulas developed by the sages are treated as goods by our descendants, and they are sold at will without cherishing them. , wouldn't he be condemned by God?
However, during these days in Xingluo County, I gradually understood that if any fairy recipes or magical spells can't benefit everyone, they are no different from the dusty decorations on the shelves.What's more, inviting spell pills in the name of Faxin is no different from buying and selling in the market, it's nothing more than asking for more lip service. "

Wang Juncheng secretly admired it. As a magistrate, he has seen Guanxi monks who put on airs but are actually lonely and noble.For him, it is not a good thing to pretend to be mysterious by relying on spells and pills, and in the end it all depends on the efficacy.If it is useful, it will be rewarded, and if it is useless, it will be dismissed. How can there be so many bells and whistles?

"Zhao Fuli's plan is far-reaching, and I will do my best to help." Wang Juncheng took the book from the scribe, opened it and said: "This is the birthplace of Master Fang. He used to be the captain of the Tianlu Army. God After the disbandment of the Lu army, he came to Xingluo County to settle down because of his meritorious service."

"Tianlu Army?" Zhao Mi was taken aback. Isn't this the same origin as that Wangmiaoshou in Chengyang County?
"That's right, not many people know about the Tianlu Army these days." Wang Juncheng said: "When Tianxia declined, General Zhendong, who was guarding one side, segregated the eastern land of Kunlun with his soldiers, and later changed it to the Tianlu Army. There are many infantry in the army, and the selection of soldiers is strict. In addition to wearing heavy armor, they must also carry strong crossbows, shields and spears, carry three days of rations, and march hundreds of miles in half a day before they can be selected."

Zhao Mi sighed inwardly, even ordinary soldiers are selected so harshly, it is no wonder that Wang Miaoshou has that kind of strength.

"In my impression, the Tianlu Army once participated in the rebellion." Zhao Mi said in a low voice.

Wang Juncheng sighed and said: "In fact, after the elimination of the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms, it is necessary to abolish and rectify the armies with unclear ownership and mixed names in the past. The interests involved are huge. There are many arrogant soldiers in the Tianlu Army, and indeed a few people made trouble. Get up. But it soon calmed down, people like Master Fang didn't participate at all, and settled down in Xingluo County early."

Leaving the government office of the county government, Zhao Mi went to the Fang family compound, and was welcomed into the front hall after a report, accompanied by Mr. Fang himself.

"I heard from Wang Juncheng that there are several mines in Xingluo County that are going to be entrusted to Master Fang?" Zhao Mi asked after exchanging greetings.

Master Fang smiled and said: "I'm ashamed, entrusting this is a serious word. This old man is just taking care of the property for the court. If it is not managed properly, he will be charged with crimes! At that time, I'm afraid Zhao Fuli will laugh at him."

"Master Fang can't say that. Without your help in suppressing bandits in Xingluo County, the situation would be unpredictable." Zhao Mi praised: "I'm curious, which mines have been selected so far?"

"There are three metal mines in Yuyang County, and a quarry in Baichao County." Master Fang put his hands together and said, "To be honest, with so many industries at once, it's hard for me to find someone."

"Master Fang's business is booming." Zhao Mi said with a smile, "The Huaiying Museum intends to purchase hardware and stones. I wonder if Master Fang is willing to cooperate with us?"

"That's really an old man!" Master Fang hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed.

"Master Fang doesn't need to be like this." Zhao Mi said, "There is no rush for this matter. After all, Yuyang County has recently recovered, so we must guard against counterattacks by bandits."

Master Fang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he asked, "I don't know how the frontline war is developing recently? When will the imperial court army plan to enter again and recover the rest of the counties and towns?"

Zhao Mi asked, "Why did Mr. Fang ask about this?"

The other party patted his back lightly, and said: "This old man is also half a businessman. I don't want to see the local mess. When banditry comes, everyone will have a hard time."

Zhao Mi replied: "Master Fang is virtuous...At present, General Wei has assembled [-] troops and marched towards Gaoling and Changxia counties respectively. These two counties are occupied by a large number of bandits. General Wei does not want They joined forces and planned to lead troops to besiege Changxia County, so as to mobilize the bandits from Gaoling County to rescue the city, and then concentrate the officers and troops to encircle and suppress the bandits from the city."

"Oh?" Master Fang nodded thoughtfully.

Zhao Mi was quite complacent: "No matter how you say it, bandits are just bandits after all. It may be difficult for them to hold on to the city, but in the wild outside the city, it is difficult to maintain the morale of the formation in the face of the official army's encirclement and suppression. It only takes a few rounds of rushing. You can drive thieves like ducks."

Master Fang asked: "The mountains near Gaoling and Changxia counties are high and the valleys are deep. Isn't General Wei afraid of bandits fleeing into the mountains?"

"Tens of thousands of bandits ran into the mountains, what did they eat and wear?" Zhao Mi shook his head and said, "I've heard about the mountain people who eat eyes, but those mountain people are few in number. Life is still hard. Most of the bandits fled into the mountains, and their rations were quickly exhausted. At that time, General Wei will come forward to appease the bandits and the common people. In order to exonerate the common people, most of the bandits will be disintegrated soon. The remaining hard bones will be left to us. The monks and elite soldiers went into the mountains to destroy them."

"Good plan." Master Fang nodded in approval.

"One more thing, I'll just tell Master Fang to you, don't spread it." Zhao Shu rolled his eyes and smiled subtly: "Ding Maocai, the demon who was locked up in the county prison, revealed to me how many people he has in the Yunyan chief rudder. Fellow cultivator, General Wei and I have secretly contacted them to get those monks to cooperate internally and externally, and prepare to join forces to kill the rebellious monsters in Chiyundu!"

Master Fang was startled for a moment, then raised his thumb: "Zhao Fuli, what a trick!"

Zhao Mi beamed with joy, and smiled with his hands behind his back: "Hey, it's just a small trick, let's see how those thieves and monsters can be caught with one hand."
