Kunlun one millet

Chapter 79

"Kunlun jade is inherently precious, and spells are written on the jade with delicate techniques, and after being inserted into a weapon, it needs to be refined." Zhao Mi shook his head and said, "This kind of rune weapon is too precious, and it may not be very useful. If it is really distributed to ordinary soldiers, I am afraid that someone will dismantle the Kunlun jade and replace it with gold and silver in a blink of an eye."

Shi Huoguang said: "This kind of jade-inlaid talisman soldiers cannot be sacrificed in large numbers, and they would not be distributed to ordinary soldiers. However, the position of lieutenant general is high-ranking, and they also need magical soldiers to protect themselves on the battlefield. It is just right for them .”

"That's right, even if it's not used for fighting on the battlefield, it can be viewed as a treasure." Zhao Mi recalled that he had seen many exquisite decorations in the Anyang Marquis Mansion, and it was not uncommon for them to collect famous knives and swords.

Considering that the first batch of talisman soldiers made by the Priest of Jinding had to be seen by the king, the sword inlaid with Kunlun jade was luxurious and exquisite, and it was indeed easier to please the king.

"Zheng Daoyou, what do you think?" Zhao Mi looked at Zheng Siyuan.

"Ah? Deacon Zhao asked me?" Zheng Siyuan hadn't reacted yet.

Zhao Shu handed the talisman soldier inlaid with Kunlun jade at the end of the handle to Zheng Siyuan, and said: "Don't be restrained, Jinding Division puts practice first, good or bad, pros and cons are straightforward."

Zheng Siyuan took the talisman, looked at it carefully for a moment, and the moment his five fingers grasped the handle of the knife, his face changed slightly, and he could clearly see that the blade was covered with a faint white light, as if a monk's air distribution machine was on it, and it was surrounded by flowing wind when it was swung.

"Can I have a try?" Zheng Siyuan asked.

Zhao Mi took two steps back, motioning for him to swing the knife in the open space.Zheng Siyuan held his breath and concentrated, holding the talisman knife in his hand and made a false slash, a wind blade with hissing sound, went straight to two feet away.

"How?" Zhao Mi asked.

Zheng Siyuan was a little surprised: "Choose the wind as the blade, is this the technique of the Feilian Hall?"

Zhao Mi looked at Shi Huoguang, and the other party replied: "I have indeed referred to Feilianguan's method of controlling the wind. But their technique is based on the cultivation of wind breath, which can condense the wind into a real substance. The wind knife and wind arrow can easily shoot hundreds of feet away. The talisman knife I refined cannot condense the flowing wind, and the power of the wind blade can only touch two or three feet."

"For ordinary soldiers who don't have mana, this kind of power is enough." Zhao Mi turned to look at Zheng Siyuan: "Do you think this Talisman Saber is better than Zheng Tunan's Hongming Dao?"

Zheng Siyuan was stunned: "I don't understand what Deacon Zhao means."

"Didn't Zheng Tunan show off his precious saber in public before? You and he are from the Zheng family, so you should know something about it." Zhao Mi said with a smile, "I just asked casually. You don't have to force Daoist Zheng."

Zheng Siyuan returned the Talisman Saber, bowed his head and said: "My brother's Hongming Saber is my father's relic."

Zhao Mi let out a soft "Oh", without further words, and asked instead: "I don't know which immortal family inherited the technique that Zheng Daoyou used to sacrifice the arrow branch? Can you open my eyes?"

Zheng Siyuan's nervousness eased a lot: "It's not about the inheritance of the immortal family. It's a skill called "Arc Leading the Sky Arrow", which is stored in the family library, and no one cares about it. Yes. But the exercises are incomplete, and I was worried that I would not be able to pass the exam."

Zhao Mi became interested, and invited Zheng Siyuan to sit down and rest in the gazebo in the courtyard, and asked the servants to bring refreshments, and chatted: "Zheng Daoyou was born in the Zheng family of Jiujiang, and he is also a descendant of the immortal lineage. Why can he only practice incomplete exercises? What about Xuanguan's "Nine Heavens Flying Mysterious Ziqi Zhenwen Baolu"?"

Zheng Siyuan lowered his head: "Deacon Zhao is joking, how can a person like me be regarded as a blood of the immortal lineage? Not everyone in the hall can be granted the talisman of the immortal family."

Zhao Mi learned from the Marquis of Anyang that Zheng Siyuan's mother came from a humble background and was not liked by Zheng Tunan.And even in the Chongxuan Pavilion, there is no way to get in touch with the magic of the fairy scriptures.

"Okay, let's not mention the blood of the immortal line." Zhao Mi said, "How many talisman arrows can Daoyou Zheng make in one day?"

Zheng Siyuan calculated silently: "Six or seven is not a problem, but..."

"how?"

"When I was taking the school exams, I passed the test by reciting mantras, but the effect of refining the arrows in this way may not last for three to five moments, let alone sending them to the battlefield for soldiers to use?" Zheng Siyuan lowered his head even lower.

"This is indeed a difficult problem." Zhao Mi looked at Shi Huoguang, who said, "Actually, there is no need to sacrifice the arrow branches directly. My original idea was to sacrifice the molten iron that wraps the arrow clusters. In this way, the effect of the spell is solidified on the arrows." , can last longer.”

"Like chanting mantra water?" Zhao Mi tapped his fingers on his knees: "But even so, it is still limited. When it comes to the battlefield, facing a vast number of enemies, the more arrows the better."

Shi Huoguang reminded: "This kind of sacrificial talisman arrow can't be used for shooting in front of the formation, it must be used to deal with the enemy general, even if the monk is not good enough to defend himself, he can still shoot it down with the talisman arrow. "

Zhao Mi pondered and said: "That's true, but don't forget, it's impossible to do things like reciting scriptures and offering sacrifices day and night without sleep. People like Zheng Daoyou still have to practice homework. If you delay making talisman arrows for sacrifice Cultivation, resulting in loss of true qi and sluggish mana, isn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Zheng Siyuan didn't think about this level before, and he was still thinking about it. Zhao Shu said: "The formulas practiced by Zheng Daoyou are incomplete, which is very inappropriate. I happen to have a volume of fairy scriptures in my hand, which talks about cultivating vitality, How about giving Zheng Daoyou a brief reference to the method of prolonging life by convincing one's inner strength?"

The Immortal Scripture that Zhao Mi mentioned was actually the "Su Mai Dan Xin Jue" contained in the Xuanpu Jade Book.This method is simple and unadorned, and there is no emphasis on fighting and killing. It only seeks for the zhenqi to last long and circulate endlessly, so that when breathing out, the zhenqi will flow in and out of the acupuncture points of the whole body, filling the surrounding world.

Zheng Siyuan was speechless by Zhao Mi's words. He was born in the Zheng family of Jiujiang and Chongxuanguan. It is precious enough and will not be passed on to outsiders easily.

Compared with living in the Chongxuan Pavilion for a long time and not being allowed to spread, Zheng Siyuan actually felt quite out of the cage when he came to the Jinding Division this time and successfully passed the examination.I would be satisfied if I could find a stable job in Jinding Division in the future, who would expect extravagant magic tricks?
But when he had the opportunity to come into contact with the authentic fairy art, Zheng Siyuan couldn't help it.

"Deacon Zhao's heart, I don't know how to repay it?" Zheng Siyuan stood up and cupped his hands.

"Don't worry." Zhao Mi hurriedly raised his hand to appease him: "Although it is a fairy scripture, it still depends on the individual to cultivate. If you, Daoist Zheng, practice for nothing and waste time, don't look back and blame me."

Zheng Siyuan bowed and said: "Where is it! Thanks to Deacon Zhao's care, I will definitely follow the lead of Deacon Zhao from now on!"

Zhao Mi slightly raised his eyebrows, this was actually the result he wanted.If Liang Guoshi really intends to send people to the Jinding Division to make trouble secretly, then don't blame Zhao Mi for dividing up these Chongxuanguan monks in turn.

Thinking about it carefully, Xingluo County's suppression of the bandits killed a group of outstanding children of the Liang family in Yongjia under the sharp edge of the sword.Ordinarily, Jin Dingsi's newly established government office is the most suitable for Liang Shuo's family to get involved. As a result, dozens of people were sent, and only six of them passed the school examination.

As for Zheng Siyuan, Zhao Mi felt that he could indeed be recruited for promotion, and he also wanted to find out about the Zheng family of Jiujiang and Jie Youjue's connections.

"It doesn't have to be like this. We work together in the Jinding Division, and we should support each other." Zhao Mi took out the pre-copied exercises from his sleeve and handed them to the other party.

Zheng Siyuan took the scroll and said: "Please rest assured, Deacon Zhao, I will never spread this scripture to the outside world."

"Zheng Daoyou's intentions are good, but you don't have to worry about it too much." Zhao Mi said: "Since the sages and sages have passed down many magical methods, they should be confirmed by the masses, rather than being occupied by one or two, three or five families. All the best."

Zhao Mi understands that not everyone has the aptitude for cultivating immortals and learning Taoism. Only the wealthy can get a first glimpse of the immortal fate.

The establishment of a museum in the Huaxu Kingdom is the power of the whole country. It is to find people with excellent qualifications, to teach the art of cultivation, and to reserve talents for the country.

But Zhao Mi is also very clear that there are very few people like him who have family background and studied in the museum.After Zhao Mi met Lingxiao himself, under his guidance, his cultivation level improved day by day, which made him feel that if the magic method of the immortal family is hung in the pavilion and not shown to others, it will not only hinder the opportunity for the world to ascend the immortal way, but also make it difficult for people to ascend the immortal way. The inheritance of immortal law itself has lost its meaning.

Zhao Mi has also studied Xuanputang's exercises recently. In terms of level and depth, it is similar to the "Shuyu Wuzang Chapter" taught by Zhang Duanjing. The monk of the formula is no less than pointing out the future.

Give Zheng Siyuan a few syntax tips and start with the essence, and the other party can't wait to experience it for himself.Zhao Mi didn't stop him either, and asked him to go to the quiet room to practice first, and they could communicate with each other if they had any evidence.

"You just gave him a practice formula?" Shi Huoguang asked with concern.

Zhao Mi said, "Are you worried that Zheng Siyuan has bad intentions? Are you going to run away after taking the formula?"

Shi Huoguang said: "He is from Chongxuan Pavilion after all, so we should be more careful."

"I know." Zhao Mi got up and said with a smile, "But there is no shortage of fairy scriptures and talismans in the Chongxuan Hall, if someone like Liang Shuo, I probably thought I was humiliating him with this tactic. If Zheng Siyuan got the true instruction in Chongxuan Hall, it would not be very useful for me to give the formulas. But judging by his behavior, it is true that he lacks authentic cultivation formulas, otherwise he would not have left in such a hurry."

"The icing on the cake is worse than giving charcoal in the snow." Shi Huoguang nodded.

Zhao Mi continued: "Relying on an incomplete cultivation method, Zheng Siyuan can achieve what he is today, which shows that this person has good aptitude. Such a person is not valued by the Chongxuan Hall, so I might as well try to win him over."

Shi Huoguang was puzzled: "Who did you learn these... skills from?"

Zhao Mi's eyes rolled: "If you have to ask this question, you probably learned it from Liang Shuo. Back then in Xingluo County, this Mr. Liang probably thought that I didn't get ahead in Huaiying Pavilion, so he spent a lot of trouble Win me over."

Shi Huoguang had a strange expression: "But Mr. Liang's fate..."

Zhao Mi coughed twice: "It's his bad luck, he ran into the Nuo-faced swordsman. But right now we are in the Jinding Division, and it's not a dangerous battlefield, and I don't want Zheng Siyuan to join the court, as long as he devotes himself to making talismans. Just fine."

Shi Huoguang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It hasn't been long since you came to Dongsheng, but you have grown a lot compared to before."

Zhao Mi touched his cheek: "Could it be that I was naive before?"

Shi Huoguang had a smile on his old face, a little helpless: "It's not childish, I just stay in the hall all the time, I'm afraid I don't know the evil people."

Zhao Mi was speechless, but he actually knew too much about people's hearts in the world, and he would be influenced by them inadvertently.After being reminded by Shi Huoguang, he realized that during his time in Dongshengdu, his behavior seemed to be different from the past.

It seems that Zhao Mi seems to have become more rational. With the promotion of his status, he seems to have more scheming methods. Even if he is provoked by a dude like Zheng Tunan, he can handle it with ease.

But can all these things really make the Taoist heart clearer?Is it really good for cultivating immortals and learning Taoism?Zhao Mi couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"By the way, this is the Qingxuan brush I prepared for you." Shi Huoguang took out a long box, in which there were five Qingxuan pens of different thicknesses. Not one.

"So much?" Zhao Mi was stunned.

Shi Huoguang said: "Didn't your previous pen be destroyed in Xingluo County? So I specially searched for Qingxuan bamboos of different years and appearances, and sacrificed a whole set. You can't just rely on quotations when you work in the Jinding Division." Qi Shu Talisman. If you don’t need it, you can also use it as a gift.”

Zhao Mi nodded, picked up a Qingxuan pen, and remained silent in thought.

……

Jing Shi was alone in the room, adjusting her breath and concentrating. Following her inaudible and slender breath, her true energy flowed in and out, turning into jet-black silk threads in the room, criss-crossing and criss-crossing like a snare.

The silk screen trembled slightly, Jing Shi seemed to feel it, raised his cold eyes, flicked his fingers to disperse the ink, got up and opened the door.

I saw Zhao Mi standing in the small courtyard outside the house, with He Dangguan guarding him with a long sword on his back.

"Fellow Daoist Jing Shi, I'm sorry to bother you." Zhao Mi came up and bowed his hands together.

"Deacon Zhao looking for me?" Jing Shi asked.

Zhao Mi smiled wryly and said, "Tomorrow the East Courtyard will build a mandala, and the laying of the foundation stones will require calligraphy and talisman sacrifices. Zhao thinks that fellow Daoist Jing Shi is also good at talismans, so how about going together tomorrow?"

Jing Shi folded his hands and bowed his head, with a cold expression: "Deacon Zhao has orders, so I must obey them."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Zhao Mi took out a Qingxuan pen and handed it to the other party: "Although Daoist Jing Shi can draw Qi to calligraphy, but there are many spells in the department, so we can't always draw true Qi in vain. This Qingxuan pen is a It is a special product of my Huaiying Pavilion, and it is most suitable for picking up Qi machines and book talismans. It can be regarded as Zhao's wish, and Daoist Jingshi may wish to accept it."

Jing Shi did not ponder for too long, nor did he show any strange expression on his face, he took the Qingxuan brush with both hands, and said: "Thank you, Deacon Zhao, I will definitely do my best."

"Okay, then it won't hinder Fellow Daoist Jing Shi's cultivation." Zhao Shu bowed and said goodbye, and left the small courtyard with He Dangguan, leaving Jing Shi alone to stare at the Qingxuan brush.

"What do you think?"

After walking a certain distance, Zhao Mi asked He Dangguan beside him.

"This woman is obviously proficient in swordsmanship and martial arts. Although I haven't seen her make a move, judging from her gait and posture, she is definitely a powerful character." He Dangguan added.

Zhao Mi nodded slightly: "Skills and martial arts are not incompatible, but it takes a lot of effort to be proficient in both."

"Deacon Zhao, with all due respect, this woman named Jing Shi may have unpredictable intentions," He Dangguan said.

"Why did you say that?" Zhao Mi asked.

He Dangguan shook his head: "I can't say it. It's just that I have practiced martial arts for many years, and I have some subtle feelings. The moment she went out, she glanced at me with murderous intent. This doesn't look like a pure cultivator, but More like an assassin."
