Kunlun one millet

Chapter 51

"Master Fang has been idle for a long time, but he has not diminished his bravery on the battlefield." Zhao Mi looked to the northwest and asked, "But have you ever thought about it, now that Xingluo County is in a situation where it is very difficult for Chi Yun to make waves again, They are trapped in a few counties, and most of them are in the bitter cold places with high mountains and deep valleys. Do you really think they can change the dynasty of Huaxu Kingdom?"

Master Fang didn't answer, and Zhao Mi continued: "You have personally experienced the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, and you must have seen the countryside after the city was ravaged by the bandit army. In the future, when the swords and soldiers will rise again, this scene will spread all over the Huaxu country. There are millions of corpses, and there is no need to wait for Chiyun to change the dynasty. Guess what Xiongguo and the Jiuli Congress will do? Obediently abide by the Shouyang pact?"

"What does Zhao Fuli want to say?" Master Fang's expression darkened: "You want me to betray Chiyundu?"

"No." Zhao Mi raised his eyes and said, "You don't have to do anything. Now you can no longer activate the Tie Gong Temple barrier, no matter what plans you and Chi Yun had before, it is useless now. As for the help of the gang wind station How much can you, a rich man, know about the military situation? Guess why General Wei led his troops to leave Yanze City? We have already guessed that there is an internal response in the city, but we did not expect it to be you."

"I understand." Master Fang laughed and said, "Zhao Fuli came here to ask for benefits? Could it be that all the operating income of those mines should go to Zhao Fuli?"

Zhao Mi still shook his head: "You just need to wait and see how the situation evolves. In the eyes of Chi Yundu, you are an internal agent who planted in the enemy camp; in the eyes of the government, you are a good gentleman who donated money and food to help suppress bandits. No matter which side wins in the future Yes, you are sure to make money without losing money."

Hearing this, Mr. Fang opened his mouth slightly, and forgot to close it for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Zhao Fuli is really calculating. I didn't see that you have such thoughts. But why should I believe that you won't?" Tell me in the blink of an eye?"

"It's my sincerity to come here alone." Zhao Mi said, "If I really want to deal with you, I don't have to turn around and report on you. Just bring the yamen servant to kill you."

"In this case, why didn't Zhao Fuli withdraw the technique?" Master Fang raised his finger and pointed at Shenhu Zhenxing: "This kind of battle, I don't think Zhao Fuli can treat each other honestly. The slightest injury, the old man is still unable to explain."

As soon as Zhao Mi turned the Qingxuan brush, Shenhu opened his mouth and backed away in real form, the old servant immediately stood up, and the evil earth entanglement under Master Fang's feet also slowly melted away.

"How? Can you talk properly now?" Zhao Mi asked.

Master Fang shook his feet, and said to the old servant who was protecting him, "Stay outside and don't let others approach you."

"Captain, he..."

As soon as the old servant opened his mouth, he was stopped by Master Fang: "I have my own opinion."

When the old servant left, Zhao Mi praised and said, "Such a loyal and brave man is really rare. Was he the one who assassinated the former sheriff?"

Master Fang didn't hide it: "It's him who is right, but Zhao Fuli can't expect him to receive the reward."

Zhao Mi sat down and said, "The former sheriff is the culprit of the banditry in Xingluo County, and he deserves his death."

Master Fang smiled strangely: "Should I praise Zhao Fuli for his openness and understanding, or is he rebellious? I even suspect that Zhao Fuli is Chi Yundu's internal response."

"I don't have any big plans and visions. It is not necessary for Chi Yundu to rely on them to do what Chi Yundu wants to do." Zhao Mi said with a straight face.

There are still some things that Zhao Mi kept hidden in his heart and didn't say them, that is, he also felt that the people who caused the current chaos in Huaxu Kingdom were precisely a group of dignitaries headed by Chongxuanguan.They are greedy for a lot of money, they are enshrined by all the people, they are extravagant, they have no mercy, not to mention, they even dislike troubles such as eliminating monsters and evil spirits, and they are unwilling to work their limbs.

Master Fang smiled and said: "Zhao Fuli is a talented person, didn't he think of finding another way out? If he wants, I can introduce Chi Yundu on his behalf."

"No need." Zhao Mi flatly refused and said: "Chiyundu may not be a good place to go. And how things are done depends on the people, not on the famous faction. Otherwise, there will be only the same party and no difference. Right and wrong."

Master Fang paced back and forth in the backyard, thinking for a long time.He knew very well that he was not one of those passionate monks in Chiyundu. Tianlu Army was abolished and dismantled, and he endured it. However, he couldn't bear to face the former county guard's frequent offenses and repeated exploitation and bribery.It happened that Mr. Yangliu found him, and after several schemes, he became Chi Yundu's internal response, delivering news at any time.

It's not that Master Fang has never thought about it, if Chi Yun has a great career, can he be counted as a hero?However, judging from his military experience, Chi Yundu's local manpower in Xingluo County is too small, and the bandits under his command are all gathered temporarily. If they really want to confront each other, they will definitely lose to the imperial army.

The reason why he didn't escape from Yanze City was not only because he was lucky, but also because Mr. Fang saw that under Wang Juncheng's rule, the people's livelihood and government in Xingluo County showed signs of improvement.Mr. Fang hadn't thought about Zhao Shu's words just to wait and see the situation.

What's more, for the sake of self-protection, there is nothing wrong with showing sincerity.

"Zhao Fuli is really a good means, I am convinced." Master Fang praised: "As you said, I will stop interfering."

Zhao Shu spread out his hands: "Then I would like to trouble Master Fang to hand over the Gangfeng Post Flag to show his intentions."

Master Fang turned around and went into the house. After a while, he took out a black flag and handed it to Zhao Mi, saying: "Only this one, Zhao Fuli doesn't have to worry too much."

After confirming that the Gangfeng Post Flag was correct, Zhao Mi put it away, stood up and cupped his hands, and said with a serious face: "I offended Mr. Fang today, and if there is nothing wrong in the future, I will not take the initiative to come to the door."

"Zhao Fu officials don't have to worry about it." Master Fang was even more frank: "One day in the future, when the war in Xingluo County ends, I hope you will come to the humble house."

"it is good."

……

Zhao Mi returned to the small courtyard in the east of the city, looked at the Gangfeng Post Flag, Lingxiao said: "It seems that your heart has softened."

"Soft-hearted? Probably." Zhao Mi recalled, "I think of the temple guard in Chengyang County. He was from the same Tianlu army as Mr. Fang. He served the country for many years, but he was forced to go against the road in the end. If it is not a last resort, I still don't want to kill."

"You can tell the news to Wang Juncheng or General Wei. Hundreds of yamen soldiers will rush forward, and even the warriors on the battlefield will not be able to resist." Lingxiao said.

Zhao Mi looked at the Gangfeng Post Flag: "Master Fang is slightly different from Wang Miaoshou. His family has a great career, and I can see that he is unwilling to completely cut off the way out. If this kind of person can be won over, it will be beneficial and harmless. What's more, the suppression of bandits can't just rely on killing, the bandits have been killed, and there are probably not many civilians left."

Lingxiao said: "I see that you are not completely opposed to Chi Yundu's actions."

Zhao Mi replied: "Yes, I admit that Mr. Yang Liu and the others have lofty ambitions and a firm heart. I also hope that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be fewer killings in the world. But the words I just persuaded Master Fang were not fabricated at will.

Assuming that Chi Yundu really separates one side, or even advances step by step in reverse, can Huaxu Kingdom really change its dynasty?No, absolutely not, other countries will not let go of this great opportunity.I don't want the war to resume, and the people will suffer in the end. "

"If you asked Mr. Yang Liu this, I'm afraid the other party would not answer like this." Ling Xiao said.

"I don't have the arrogance like him." Zhao Mi sighed, "It's no wonder Luo Xixian called me weak."

"Everyone has his own aspirations." Ling Xiao reminded: "But I also advise you not to hope that the world will get better on its own."

Zhao Mi said: "Of course, the top priority right now is to put an end to the banditry. I hope Mr. Yang Liu and the others can retreat in spite of the difficulties, otherwise they can only fight on the battlefield."

……

Half a month later, a news came from Dongshengdu. Liang Tao, the head of the Chongxuan Hall, appeared to the imperial court. There was a god in Yanze City who appeared in public, and lowered his divine light to protect the city outline.

This incident shows that the ruler of Huaxu is in harmony with the will of the people, and it is also a proof that the Chongxuan Pavilion is effective in suppressing bandits and demons. It should be built in Yanze City to welcome the coming of the gods.

When the imperial decree to build the Town God's Temple came to Yanze City, the Chongxuan Hall presided over the ceremony of welcoming the gods, and the Jiangzhen Hall also participated in it. They chanted scriptures and chanted mantras around the city, and countless people went to watch in person, hoping to see the true god Allow.

And Liang Shuo himself fasted for three days, and he personally went to the altar to read the imperial decree.As the imperial decree was burnt to the table, a moment later, the sky over Tiegong Temple was filled with rays of light, and a mighty general in armor and holding a sword could be seen standing in the clouds.

Seeing this god general wave his big hand, a soft drizzle fell inside and outside Yanze City, with colorful splendor, watering the rice.Ordinary people outside the shrine were also nourished. The sick and weak felt the warmth of their bones and the disease subsided, and bowed their heads one after another, full of sincerity.

Standing tall in the clouds, Hengbi can clearly feel the concentration of faith, which makes his true form more solid, followed by the prayer vision from the heart of all people.

As for Liang Shuo, who was on the high altar, he was in a complicated mood. After he told his grandfather about Hengbi's situation, he was severely reprimanded.As a result, not only did Hengbi fail to re-enroll in the Falu Immortal Register, but he was also awarded the imperial decree, formally replacing Tiegong, and became the righteous deity guarding Xingluo County.

"Grandfather, why did you seal Hengbi as a land?" Liang Shuo was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that Hengbi annoyed Zhenjun and forbade him to return to Qingya Wonderland?"

"Zhenjun has his own intentions, so you don't have to speculate!" Liang Tao's face was not good. They are mediocre, they are always waiting to see us making jokes!"

Liang Shuo suppressed his displeasure, and quickly said, "Now that my grandson is not protected by Immortal Hengbi, how will he confront those desperadoes?"

"Aren't there too many spells and magic weapons I prepared for you back then?!" Liang Tao was furious: "This time Xingluo County suppressed the bandits, it was originally an opportunity for me to arrange for you to exercise! Could it be that you can't do things without immortal generals?"

Liang Shuo didn't dare to talk back, Liang Tao vented his anger and continued: "I have already discussed with Hengbi in private, although he is now delisted from the dharma, but because of his fate with me, Yongjia Liang, he left behind three summonses. The command to dispatch the talisman. When necessary, you can use this talisman to ask him to show up."

"There are only three ways?" Liang Shuo felt unwilling.

"Hmph! If your cultivation level is high enough and you connect with gods, why would you allow Hengbi to be taken away by the demon?" Liang Tao said: "And I advise you to pray more when you activate the talisman. This kind of immortal will have the worst temper." It's stubborn, and it's hard to get rid of a slight disagreement."

"Grandson understands."

……

Liang Shuo was worried on the altar, and Zhao Mi laughed in the distance.

Looking at the Tiegong Temple shrouded in auspiciousness and rising in the sun-now it should be called the Temple of the City God, Zhao Shu held the real-shaped talisman in his hand and tapped it secretly, and the breeze swirled in his ears, and he heard the sound of Hengbi coming from afar :
"Little friend Zhao Shu, it's thanks to you to plan and draw today to be seated and accept the sacrifice!"

"Hengbi Shangshen doesn't have to be like this, Xiaozhao just follows the trend. Before there is Tiegong's lingering shadow, and later there is Shangshen who peeps through the barrier, so that the matter can be done well." Zhao Shu covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "With Xiaozhao alone, it is absolutely difficult to achieve."

Hengbi said: "The head of the Chongxuan Pavilion, Liang Tao, has been summoned several times before. Fortunately, he is not Qingya Zhenjun after all. Even if he is in charge of Dongtian, his cultivation is still a little bit worse, and there is no real emperor who writes gold and jade books I can't summon all the gods with my ability. If I wasn't worried about him chasing after me, I wouldn't bother to give him three summoning talismans."

Summoning ghosts and gods is a wonderful method of the immortal family. Mortal monks like Zhao Shu sense the true shape and charm of ghosts and gods, spend energy translating and copying talismans, and carefully figure out what ghosts and gods like.Even if you can summon ghosts and gods, you still have to worry about whether the other party has malicious intentions, let alone drive them away.

"The command to dispatch a talisman?" Zhao Mi asked.

Heng Bi laughed: "It's nothing more than saving some face for Mr. Liang. This summoning talisman was given to Liang Shuo, so that he can use it to save his life in a critical situation!"

"That's it." Zhao Mi thought about it.

"Don't worry, little friend Zhao Shu, if you have an invitation, I will definitely come when you hear the news!" Hengbi said: "The Liang family still wants to control the sacrifices, but they don't even have a little sincerity. Those ordinary people outside are even worse!"

Zhao Mi pondered and remained silent. Although they were also regarded as monks, the people who worshiped at the shrine were indeed different from the cultivators who yearned for longevity, and their attitudes towards certain things were even more different.

Most of the cultivators in Chongxuan Hall call themselves immortals, which is a continuation of the Tianxia Dynasty tradition. They treat ghosts and gods with emphasis on exorcising them, instead of focusing on worship and respect and sympathy with gods, as in shrines. .

Zhao Shu really doesn't know which one is better and which is worse, which is related to the heterogeneity of what he has learned and practiced.

In terms of family inheritance, the ancestors of the Zhao family were the worship officials of the Tianxia Dynasty, and they worshiped the gods and spirits as their sect, so they could be regarded as people in the divine way.Later, in the Huaiying Pavilion, he cultivated the truth and refined Qi, and Lingxiao taught the immortal family's magic method, so Zhao Mi couldn't tell which side he was on.

"The gods on Hengbi don't have to stick to the Liang family." Zhao Shu said: "At the beginning, Xiaozhao once saw a shrine dedicated to Tiegong in the mine in the mountain. Goulian Tiegong. If the gods on Hengbi want to look for sacrifices, it is better to look at the entire Xingluo County and choose pragmatic and thrifty people from all the people in the world."
