Kunlun one millet

Chapter 75

After the Marquis of Anyang said goodbye to Zhao Mi, Xin Taicheng pondered for a long time, pinching his fingers and making calculations, but finally his face was full of confusion.

"Father, what's the matter?" Xin Shunying asked in a low voice.

Xin Taicheng pinched his fingers secretly, collected his voice so as not to let the words come out, looked around for a while and said: "This Zhao Shu's numerology is mysterious and strange, which is puzzling."

"Father also thinks that Zhao Mi is weird?" Xin Shunying said: "At the beginning, I did some calculations in Xingluo County, and found that this person was destined to be blessed by immortals. Later, when Liang Guoshi killed the leader of the rebellious party, the accompanying monks from the Jiangzhen Pavilion All died, only Zhao Mi survived, could it be that this fairy fate should be in the Liang family of Yongjia?"

Xin Taicheng asked: "The Huaiying Pavilion and the Chongxuan Pavilion have never been in harmony. Why do you think Liang Guoshi is protecting Zhao Mi?"

"I'm not talking about Liang Guoshi." Xin Shunying said: "Father, do you still remember what I told you about the city god Hengbi Gong? No matter how incompetent Shuo is, it's impossible for Qingya Zhenjun in the sky to turn a blind eye to this, right? There must be something weird in it."

Xin Taicheng's face was solemn: "Could it be that you think that the ancestors of the Liang family detested the descendants, and instead took a fancy to Zhao Mi?"

"I don't dare to speculate on Xianzhen's thoughts, but compared to people like Liang Shuo, Zhao Mi is indeed worth cultivating." Xin Shunying said.

Xin Taicheng looked at his daughter: "Hearing what you said, it seems that you appreciate Zhao Mi quite a lot?
Xin Shunying said: "Zhao Mi is Zhang Shouzuo's student after all, and Xingluo County's banditry has been pacified, so he has a lot to do with it. Although I persuade Luo Xixian to avoid him, I don't deny that Zhao Mi is better at certain things."

Xin Taicheng's expression became serious: "You are about to get married, so don't say anything nonsense, and you should be cautious in your words and deeds in the future. Those who are good at occupying the waiting room should keep their mouths tight, otherwise disasters will come out of their mouths."

"Daughter remember." Xin Shunying said with a smile: "However, there is no need to be too shy when talking to father."

Xin Taicheng still looked around vigilantly, and then found a place to hide from people's eyes and sat down: "It's true that Zhao Shu has a fairy fate with him, and I can see it, but it should not be Qingya Zhenjun... There is one thing that is also timely." I told you, but don’t spread it, don’t even tell Luo Xixian.”

Xin Shunying nodded cautiously, and Xin Taicheng said: "You should know that the stars in the sky are really somewhat mysteriously related to the Taoist Immortal. Since I took office in Qintiantai, I have watched the stars for a long time, and found that the stars corresponding to Qingya Zhenjun are dim and unclear. After comparing the notes, I found that the stars were lost, and the host and the guest were misplaced, I am afraid..."

"Could it be that Master Qingya was banished?" Xin Shunying became nervous.

"It's hard to say." Xin Taicheng's face darkened: "In order to confirm this, I spent several years observing repeatedly. Later, I accidentally discovered that whenever Liang Guoshi retreated in Difei Mountain or opened a furnace for alchemy, Qingya Zhenjun The corresponding stars will shine faintly, and the sky above Difei Mountain will also shake."

"Could it be that this is rebellion and aggression, and the next one offends the one above?" Xin Shunying asked in surprise.

"Even if it's not, it's not far away." Xin Taicheng said: "The trouble is, I found that Liang Guoshi may have already traveled to and from the fairyland of the cave. Maybe he is going to replace Qingya Zhenjun and rule the fairyland of the cave."

"It's not surprising that Liang Guoshi will be able to ascend to immortality in the future." Xin Shunying asked: "It's just that my daughter doesn't understand. Since Liang Guoshi has such a state, why should he stay in the world and intervene in the affairs of the court?"

Xin Taicheng sighed and said: "Our Master Zhanhou can calculate good and bad luck, but we may not be able to see through the hearts of the world, let alone a master who will become a fairy? So after you and Luo Xixian get married, go to Xingluo County with him to avoid dangerous variables as much as possible .”

Xin Shunying bowed her head and remained silent, she could also sense that the current court was turbulent and a great turmoil was quietly brewing.

"By the way, when you were in Xingluo County, did you ever hear about the ascension of the immortal family?" Xin Taicheng asked.

"Ascension of the Immortal Family?" Xin Shunying was taken aback: "My daughter has never heard of this matter, and she can't see any changes in the weather. In the chaotic situation in Xingluo County, there are still people ascending?"

"When I was watching the stars a few days ago, I found a star that I have never seen before, and the aura of the star is quite majestic." Xin Taicheng said: "Although it is said that the Taoist family jumped out of the established fortune, it cannot be grasped by the technique of divining the weather, but I can also speculate a little bit, and finally found out that this Ascending Immortal Family has some connections with Panlong Mountain. In the future, when you and Luo Xixian go to Xingluo County, you may wish to pay attention to it, and you may be able to find the treasures left by the Immortal Family after their ascension. .”

"Yes." Xin Shunying paused: "It's just that my father said so, and I suddenly thought of Zhao Mi. Could it be related to him?"

Xin Taicheng shook his head and smiled wryly: "Don't say anything about the relationship, even if you can witness the immortal family's ascension, it is a great opportunity like no other in the world. If it is not a disciple's successor, it means that the words and deeds are very in line with the immortal family's wishes. If it is really related to Zhao Mi..."

"Father, why don't I check Zhao Mi's tone." Xin Shunying asked.

"Forget it, run to find other men alone at this time, I still want this old face!" Xin Taicheng put on a straight face: "Go directly to Zhao Mi, he probably won't say anything. Just right, Zhang Huaiying The first seat is still in the capital, I will ask him some time."

……

"Mrs. Zhu Zi said that she will send her disciples to Jinding Division to assist you in handling affairs later."

On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Anyang Hou said to Zhao Mi in the carriage: "Also, Yuyi Pavilion hopes to build a batch of body armor, preferably as effective as the Golden Armor Art, and light and durable. I wonder if you have any ideas?"

Zhao Mi thought while saying, "If you engrave the talisman seal on the armor according to the way of sacrificial talisman soldiers, maybe you can try it, but this seems to be very different from the weaving art of Yuyi Pavilion. Moreover, the number of magic objects is large, and the effect of the spell will be more effective." It cannot last long.”

The Marquis of Anyang said: "You will discuss with them how to do it. Mrs. Zhu Zi also attaches great importance to the Jinding Division. If it is done well, the king will recognize your father's achievements and give you a title. "

Zhao Mi didn't have much interest in titles, and as for recognizing his father's military exploits, that was nothing more than a word from the king.

"What? Isn't that enough?" Anyang Hou saw that Zhao Mi was silent, and said again: "By the way, I heard that Luo Xixian is about to get married, so you can't delay your business."

"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for your kindness. I don't care about it now." Zhao Mi replied, "I just want to concentrate on my cultivation except for the affairs of the Jinding Division."

Anyang Hou said earnestly: "Your parents are dead. As an elder, it is impossible for me to see you alone. What's more, a young hero like you will not worry about a good spouse."

Zhao Mi didn't answer, he couldn't refute Anyang Hou, but he vaguely felt that the other party was planning to win over himself and his teacher Zhang Duanjing through marriage.If it is good intentions, Marquis of Anyang should have some, but he will not be completely out of scheming.

"By the way, I don't know about the magic treasure of the white-fronted jade cong. Does Uncle Shi know anything about it?" Zhao Mi asked in turn.

"If you want to inquire about the news of Chongxuan Hall, you can't just do it casually. Nephew, please relax and just wait for the good news." Anyang Hou said.

Since the other party said so, Zhao Mi didn't want to ask more questions, so he could only focus on the affairs of Jinding Division right now.

……

Dozens of miles away to the southeast of Dongsheng Capital, the beautiful and elegant Difei Mountain stretches in twists and turns. Looking at the dark green, the lavender smoke rising from the mountains makes it difficult to distinguish whether it is the misty mountain mist or the Danxia furnace. Fragrance, in short, wraps the Difei Mountain, which is already ethereal and dusty, with a layer of hazy artistic conception.

Deep in the quiet mountain forest, Liang Tao lives alone in the bamboo hall, looking at a map of the mountains and rivers of the Huaxu Kingdom in front of him, pondering for a long time, and occasionally lowering his head to look at a simple album in his hand. drawn by the instrument.

Liang Tao stared at it for a long time, then burned the atlas away with a flick of his fingers, an illusory light and shadow floated on his palm, and he raised his hand to pretend to land on the atlas.In the picture, the area around Xingluo County twists and turns, and the whole map of mountains and rivers suddenly comes to life. There are faint clues emerging, twists and turns, like symbols and seal characters.

However, halfway through the change of the map, it suddenly stopped moving, as if encountering a blockage, the aura could not continue to run, and collapsed on its own.

"It's a pity that the Tianxia Dynasty fell apart, and it was impossible to hold the Wufang Spiritual Sacrifice in Wudu. If you want to completely control the spirit of heaven and earth in Huaxu Kingdom, there are great obstacles." Liang Tao looked at the map and said: "But Tianxia The group of praise officials in the court are all old-fashioned people, and Tianxia is dead. In order to resist Xuanju, almost all of them died in the imperial capital, and even a fire burned the library, completely cutting off the inheritance. ..."

Just as Liang Tao was contemplating, the bronze crane with a bell in the house made a crisp sound, and a woman's cold voice came from inside: "Master, I really want to see you."

Without saying a word, Liang Tao flicked the pointer lightly. At the same time, the maps and volumes in the house were sorted and put away like living things.

A moment later, a woman came outside the bamboo hall. She was tall and slender, with slender limbs. She was dressed in black and looked sharp and aggressive. She had phoenix eyes, willow eyebrows, thin lips and snowy skin, but her face was expressionless and cold. People feel inaccessible.

The woman in black clasped her hands and bowed her head, Liang Tao appeared and said, "Tell me, what news did you hear?"

The voice of the woman in black was cold: "After the secret conversation between Marquis Anyang and Mrs. Zhu Zi, Yuyi Pavilion will send disciples to Jinding Division."

Liang Tao didn't take it seriously: "This Marquis of Anyang has both sides. Besides Yuyi Pavilion, who else is involved?"

"There are also a group of monks and guests who joined the Marquis of Anyang, namely Xuanpu Hall, Qingyun Cave, and Jishitan."

"The other two factions are native chickens and dogs. As for Xuanputang... there are no superiors." Liang Tao pondered for a long time, and then he said to himself: "The Marquis of Anyang colluded with Zhang Duanjing and Zhu Zimaid to set up the Jinding Division. It's not because of the magical medicine pill, but to join hands and squeeze out my Chongxuan hall step by step. Jing Shi, what do you think?"

"I will see what the master thinks." The woman in black's tone was as cold as ever, without any flattering or flattering meaning.

"The Marquis of Anyang is no more than an ordinary person. It's okay to invite guests and make friends with monks. He can't interfere with the specific refining of magical medicines and medicines. He must let someone he trust take the lead." Liang Tao asked: "But if Zhang Duanjing is in charge, then Jinding The Si is equivalent to becoming a single-handed government office in the Huaiyingguan family, and the king will not let this kind of thing go. Who else is in charge of the Jinding Department?"

Jing Shi replied: "The Marquis of Anyang handed over all the affairs in the department to a Fu official named Zhao Mi, who is a student of Zhang Duanjing."

"Zhao Mi?" Liang Tao was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the Jinding Division has started to recruit monks from various houses. All of them have to go through Zhao Shu's inspection and examination, and then assign different duties to each of them according to their strengths." Jing Shi said.

"Oh, interesting." Liang Tao stood with his hands behind his back, with a delicate smile: "It seems that Zhang Duanjing intends to cultivate this person. Luo Xixian has a sharp edge, and has a father who is the chief minister of the dynasty. Even the king of the country praises him a lot, but the real The one who controls the key position is still this Zhao Mi."

After thinking for a moment, Liang Tao asked instead: "I remember I asked you to investigate Zhao Mi's background and background, did you get any results?"

"I have a general plan." Jing Shi replied: "Zhao Shu was born in the Zhao family of Xuanwu, and his ancestors were the officials of the Tianxia Festival. His grandfather, Zhao Wei, moved away with his family due to the war, and later he was sheltered by the Huaiying Pavilion. Zhao Shu himself was also in the Huaying Pavilion. training."

"Praise officer?" Liang Tao was greatly inspired, and thought to himself: "It makes sense in this way! The Zhao family must have escaped from the imperial capital with many sacrificial rituals of the Tianxia Dynasty, and passed them down to Zhao Mi. No wonder He can come up with such prayer rituals!
Zhang Duanjing, I underestimated you. I hid such a good seed so deeply, and now I put him in the Jinding Division, hoping to use the Tianxia Rituals he is familiar with to show that Huaxu Kingdom is Tianxia orthodox? "

Jing Shi lowered her head and said nothing, she is a dead soldier supported by Liang Tao, besides granting immortality, she also does things like espionage, surveillance and assassination for Liang Tao, she does not belong to the sect of the Chongxuan Pavilion, nor even the Liang family of Yongjia.Together with a group of dead men in Jingshi, they only serve Liang Tao alone.If the master doesn't speak, she won't speak either.

"Where are Zhao Mi's parents?" Liang Tao asked again.

"His father, Zhao Ziliang, was also a monk in the Huaiying Pavilion, and died in the Great War of the Five Kingdoms." Jing Shi said, "There is very little news about his mother, the Wu family. She only knows that she remarried to the Marquis of Anyang in her early years and died of illness not long ago. Zhao Shu is now The purpose of coming to Dongshengdu this time is to pay homage to his mother."

Liang Tao thought for a long time when he heard the words, and suddenly smiled and said: "That's fine... Isn't the Jinding Division planning to recruit monks from various halls? They have no reason to reject people from my Chongxuan Hall. I will arrange some people to go to the Jinding Division, Jing Shi You also go together, as a disciple of Chongxuan Pavilion."

Liang Tao took out a talisman out of thin air: "You use this order to go to the lower hall and look for Liang Dongyou, he will naturally know what to do."

Jing Shi took the talisman and asked again: "What do I need to do when I arrive at Jinding Division?"

"Focus on monitoring, especially Zhao Mi, but don't behave too aggressively." Liang Tao said, "You have mastered ink and ink swords and daggers, and you have a good command of talisman, so you can use this as a stepping stone to pass Zhao Mi's examination. "

"Yes."

"Also, don't worry about what other people think. You should try your best to complete the affairs that Zhao Mi entrusts to you, and it is best to gain his trust." Liang Tao added: "If someone is secretly against him, you can deal with it directly. Yes."

After letting Jing Shi back down, Liang Tao returned to the bamboo hall, raised his sleeves to reveal the map of mountains and rivers, and said to himself, "We must move faster."
