"Long-term operation?" Zhao Shu heard Liang Tao's request and asked: "How long does it last? One and a half years? Or ten or eight years?"
Liang Tao raised his chin and asked, "Can't it be a hundred years or a thousand years?"
Zhao Shu stood there, his mouth slightly opened, and then said: "Master Imperial Master, do you have unrealistic illusions about my abilities?"
Liang Tao did not answer immediately, but asked: "Before the establishment of the Jinding Division, the government office was renovated. What is the first step?"
"Master Kanyu will determine the height, width, and width of the walls of the house and draw the graphics, so that the building can be built according to the drawings." After Zhao Shu said this, he vaguely understood.
Liang Tao asked with a smile: "After drawing the shape of the house, is it still up to Master Kanyu to pick up the soil and lay the tiles?"
"Of course not." Zhao Shu asked: "The implication of the Master's words is that I only need to be responsible for arranging the rituals, and I don't need to participate in the actual operation."
"almost."
Zhao Shu walked back and forth in deep thought. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "It still doesn't work. Your Majesty the Imperial Master overestimates me."
"Oh? You could do it in Xingluo County, why are you saying no now?" Liang Tao said with a slightly cold tone: "It's rare for me to show kindness, so don't let it down."
"The situation in Xingluo County is very different." Zhao Shu was equally serious: "The immortal generals of your Chongxuan Pavilion were granted the title of City God, and they were able to connect the mountains and rivers of Xingluo County. I originally arranged the rituals based on this.
Only by performing rituals on the altar to summon the righteous gods in a certain place can the efficacious rituals be spread throughout Xingluo County, not to mention that altars must be arranged in advance in various places.
And Xingluo County is just a corner of Huaxu Kingdom. I heard from the Imperial Master that you want to arrange rituals that cover the entire Huaxu Kingdom? Then you can find me a priest who can control the entire Huaxu Kingdom.
Dian Zheng God! After Tian Xia lost its unification, the Five Directions and Five Virtues kings stayed away from Kunlun. The other Zheng Gods either disappeared or occupied one place and turned into ghosts and ghosts. I guess this is also the reason why those praise officers were defeated by Xuan Ju.
One of the reasons.”
"Relying on divine power will never last long." Liang Tao said.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Master also knows very well." Zhao Shu shrugged and said, "The duty of the Tianxia Dynasty Salute Officer is, to put it bluntly, to communicate with the heaven, earth, humans and gods. What else can we do if we don't rely on divine power?"
Liang Tao shook his head and said: "The purpose of praising the rituals and summoning the gods is to activate the yin and yang and the five elements, or to drive away evil spirits, resolve disasters, or to increase happiness and longevity, and to stabilize the home. In the end, it is necessary to
It falls on the flow of the air machine."
"That's what you say, but how easy is it to instigate the flow of qi?" Zhao Shu said: "Mortals don't have such profound and vast magic power, so they naturally have to rely on divine power to arrange the mandala rituals. And with all due respect, even if you have reached a certain level of cultivation,
Even someone as profound as the National Preceptor cannot control the flow of Qi in the entire Huaxu Kingdom with his own magical power."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If I could do it on my own, how could you still be so arrogant in front of me?" Liang Tao said with a smile.
Zhao Shu suddenly remembered that Liang Tao and Chongxuan Hall had seized the Taoist temple and blessed land of the Immortal Cultivation Sect in the past. Could it be that he wanted to arrange the rituals and rituals by himself and this was also related to this?
"If there is no righteous god in the sacrificial code that connects the energy of heaven and earth, and if you want to use rituals and rituals to activate the energy, you will probably need a very complicated arrangement." Zhao Shu thought and said: "Huaxu Kingdom runs from north to south, and the phenology is different.
The layout of the field should not only consider the conflict, harm, and harm, but also the weather, astrology, and the yin and yang of the landform.
Moreover, the mandala must be placed in the spiritual acupoint where the earth's veins are sparse and the qi is released... No, I'm afraid we need to cultivate a blessed place as its mainstay."
Liang Tao was silent for a moment after hearing this, and Zhao Shu continued: "If the master of the state wants the ritual to function for a long time, the decoration of the altar cannot be simple. Not only must a permanent altar throne be built, but also a long-lasting altar must be used.
Refined treasures of heaven and earth.
In addition, before the rituals are completely arranged, the original altar must be maintained and celebrated. Master, have you ever thought about how much manpower and material resources will be consumed?"
"Since I told you about this matter, I must have made preparations long ago." Liang Tao said: "Not to mention the treasures of heaven, materials and earth, Chongxuan Pavilion can definitely bring them out. As for changing the blessed land of cultivation into a ritual altar, I
There is a way."
At this point, Zhao Shu is almost certain that Chongxuan Hall’s intention in seizing the Taoist temple of the Immortal Cultivation Sect in the past was not simple. Considering that Liang Tao acted aggressively after the establishment of the Guanshe system, it is estimated that he had already done so decades ago
Start planning this.
Thinking back to what Hengbi Gong said, nearly a hundred years ago, Qingya Fairyland was invaded by evil gods from outside and most of it collapsed. Liang Tao's current planning and preparation must also be somewhat related to Qingya Fairyland.
Zhao Shu planned to test it again and pretended to be helpless: "Okay, for the time being, I am ready to be the national preceptor. However, the long-term operation of rituals and rituals requires more than just sufficient utensils and blessed land spiritual points. Just like the palace built by Mr. Hua Xu
Is it true that what is missing in the Forbidden City Garden is gold, silk, bricks, tiles and pillars? I am afraid that the most difficult thing is to draw the layout of the palace city in advance.
I'm not being modest, but I don't think I can complete the equipment to cover the entire Huaxu Kingdom's rituals and rituals. Moreover, the Master is secretive and refuses to explain the specific uses of these rituals and rituals. Just like
There is no reason in the world for patients to ask doctors to prescribe medicine without telling them where they are in pain!"
Liang Tao rubbed his fingers gently and said in a serious tone: "What do you think other countries in Kunlun Continent will do after I ascend?"
"Are you going to ascend?" Zhao Shu was surprised.
"Is it possible to stay in the world forever?" Liang Tao said, "But I will not abandon the world without preparation. I will definitely leave a back-up in case of any eventuality."
Zhao Miao had a complicated expression and was speechless. Liang Tao held up the wine cup and shook it gently: "I know that many people are looking forward to my ascension as soon as possible. It is best to stay away from the world completely. But these people have never thought that Kunlun Continent is now such a big place.
In this era of strife, if Huaxu Country had not been with me, it would have been ravaged by brutal foreign enemies countless times."
In fact, Zhao Shui said similar words to the king, and he probably knew it in his heart. Because of this, even though the king and Liang Tao disliked each other, they had to work together reluctantly.
"What? You look like this, you don't seem to believe it?" Liang Tao looked at Zhao Shu: "You are young, don't imitate Marquis Anyang, and engage in partisanship and opposition. It is extremely ignorant and hinders immortality."
Zhao Mingze said: "Master Imperial Master, isn't Chongxuan Guan your party member? If you say that other people's parties are the same and oppose those who are different, then aren't you, the Xueyin of the Immortal family, also practicing nepotism based on family status?"
"It sounds nice to select talents and appoint them with both ability and political integrity." Liang Tao said bluntly: "However, in a world filled with profit-seeking mediocre people, it is not up to each person to decide whether the talents and virtues are capable or not. If even this is not the case,
If you don’t understand, then I advise you to leave Dongshengdu as soon as possible, this muddy world is not suitable for you.”
Zhao Miao did not answer. He thought of Wang Juncheng of Xingluo County. In terms of talents and virtues, Wang Juncheng was probably better than many nobles in Dongsheng City. But if the previous county governor had not been assassinated, Wang Juncheng would have been an unknown person.
Deputy, your career future is also bleak.
When Wang Juncheng assisted the imperial officers and soldiers in suppressing the bandits, he handled all affairs in an orderly manner, which can be said to be a great success. However, after the war, he chose to submit a letter to resign. Apparently, he had seen through the world of officialdom and could not tolerate talented people.
In other words, talented people will become dim and unclear after living in this kind of world for many years.
"If I really want to start a big party struggle in the court, believe me, few people can be my opponent." Liang Tao showed a hint of emotion: "What a pity, among the descendants of the Liang family in Yongjia, all the talented ones will die on the battlefield.
Most of the rest are incompetent and mediocre people. And if we really want to turn the imperial court into a Chongxuan Hall family that has the final say, we, the Immortal Blood Yin clan, will continue to fight endlessly!"
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You are an expert who wants to prove the immortal way. Why bother struggling in this quagmire?" Zhao Shu said.
Liang Tao slowly raised his eagle eyebrows, stared at Zhao Shu and said: "With your cultivation level, you don't seem qualified to say such things to me, right? I just said, don't look at things with your existing opinions, but you turned around and just said
Are my words forgotten?"
"As a master of immortality, Hongxueke, the Sword Immortal of the East China Sea, doesn't seem to have as many complicated connections as you." Zhao Shu said.
"You..." Liang Tao shook his head: "Cultivating immortals is not about cultivating people into ignorant blocks of wood and rocks. Hongxueke's temperament, words and deeds must match his cultivation level to be admired. When he was young,
, is wild and indulgent, even more reckless than Luo Xixian, he kills people at will, and commits crimes repeatedly. Hongxueke is far away, and others don’t know the inside story. If we get along for a long time, no one can stand him."
Zhao Shu did not expect that the famous Sword Immortal of the East China Sea would have such a past. However, Zhao Shu felt that through his words and deeds, he had probably tested Liang Tao's temperament.
"I originally thought that even if the Immortal Family ascended to the throne and left a backup for their descendants, it would be nothing more than magic weapons to protect themselves from disasters, magical elixirs to help with cultivation, or at worst, a forbidden formation to protect the blessed land.
"Zhao Shu said: "But now you are going to organize a ritual ceremony covering the entire Huaxu Kingdom. What are your plans? Let the Yongjia Liang family continue for thousands of generations?"
"If it's possible, I don't mind." Liang Tao said.
Zhao Shu responded silently, and Liang Tao had no choice but to say: "I, the immortal ancestor of the Liang family in Yongjia, Qingya Zhenjun, see the endless killings in the world and the suffering of the people, so I want to show mercy to the world. I have obtained the decree of the immortal family, and I can transform ghosts and spirits into human beings in the world.
The Dharma Ribbon and the soldiers and horses are used to clearly identify people and ghosts and establish peace and order. If another country invades in the future, the monks of Huaxu Kingdom can use the Dharma Ribbon to summon soldiers and horses from all over the country to help."
If Duke Hengbi hadn't told him in advance, Zhao Shu would probably have been frightened by these words, because with the name Qingya Zhenjun, younger students who are interested in immortality would definitely not dare to ignore him.
Zhao Mian pretended to be shocked and speechless, then quickly calmed down and moved his fingers uneasily.
"What you...the Imperial Master did is indeed very clever." Zhao Shu covered his mouth and thought: "The Ming Dynasty's move to regulate humans and ghosts is in the same line as the Tianxia Dynasty's establishment of Kewen ghost laws to restrain ghosts and gods.
I praise the ceremonial officers for their special skills. But I don’t quite understand the purpose of setting up Jing and establishing governance. The Jing altar is for enshrining Dharma vessels, soldiers and horses, so what is the purpose of establishing governance?”
Liang Tao said: "If the city god only governs the underworld, then establishing governance is to manage the people and property, so that those who follow the Tao can register their households and have their own belongings."
Zhao Shu immediately noticed the problem: "Wait a minute, isn't this a conflict with the various county and county government offices?"
"It is natural to revolutionize the past and create new ones." Liang Tao said: "Kunlun is unstable because the world does not believe in the Tao of Peace. It is just that the immortal method is difficult and profound, and not everyone can lift the clouds to transcendence. In this case, we might as well create a Taoist country in the human world.
I have obeyed the True Lord's decree to lead all the people of the Huaxu Kingdom to the shore of the road. Compared with the ignorant and mediocre people who hold responsibilities now, in the future, the masters and teachers will be held by those who have achieved success in cultivation. ."
"Do you plan to let monks serve as officials?" Zhao Shu asked.
Liang Tao asked back: "Isn't that you? The purpose of establishing offices and dividing duties in Huaxu Kingdom is to allow accomplished monks to perform their duties. I'm just trying to improve on the existing basis."
Zhao Shu was indeed shocked. Even though he knew that Liang Tao was using True Lord Qingya as a cover, the fact that this matter came from Liang Tao's personal request made people find it even more incredible.
Judging from Zhao Shu's knowledge, Liang Tao's idea was not fabricated out of thin air. The Tianxia Dynasty set up Yang laws to govern humans and Yin laws to govern ghosts and gods. There were shrines and sacrifices in various counties and counties, and they were registered and made by the imperial court. They were not created by the imperial court. The evil temple built for obscene worship will be attacked and destroyed.
When the Emperor of Tianxia died, there was a saying that dragons would ride on guests, which meant that they would ride on a dragon and ascend to heaven to be the guests of the Emperor of Heaven, just like the immortal officials and generals who ascended to the cave. Even the capital of the Tianxia Dynasty was also called the Capital of the Emperor. Legend has it that the gods of heaven and earth came and went. The wonder of transportation.
It can be seen that Liang Tao intends to recreate the situation of the Tianxia Dynasty in Huaxu Kingdom, but this time the one who is on top is not the Emperor of Heaven, but Liang Tao after his ascension.
And unlike the distant and unpredictable Emperor of Heaven, Liang Tao wanted to control the ghosts and spirits of Huaxu Kingdom through the Jingtan Dharma Ribbon, and he also wanted to establish governance and appoint posts to interfere with the earthly officials of Huaxu Kingdom, or simply let his disciples and descendants take the posts. Each master controls his own affairs. In the future, the yin and yang life and death of this human Taoist country will be completely controlled by Liang Tao!
"If the Master of the State does this, let me ask you a question." Zhao Shu said: "Where will the future leader of the State be placed?"
"The teacher is the king, and the king is the teacher." Liang Tao replied: "But I can also be honest. One family and one surname inherit the throne, which is often the source of corruption. If the fire of the country is to be passed down from generation to generation, the teacher will naturally It is the responsibility of those who have both ability and political integrity.”
Zhao Shu didn't expect Liang Tao's ambition to be so big. Even if Liang Tao made up these remarks, Zhao Shu still felt a little overwhelmed.
"How about it? Compared with creating a country on earth and working like a craftsman in a small government office, which one is better?" Liang Tao asked with a smile.
"Master Imperial Master is very ambitious, and I admire you from the younger generation." Although Zhao Shui was shocked, fortunately his resolve was not shaken: "But for such an important matter, I can't make a decision at the moment."
"Are you planning to tell Zhang Duanjing about this?" Liang Tao asked.
Zhao Shu's heart tightened. He felt that the energy around him suddenly stagnated. If Liang Tao took action at this moment, Zhao Shu wouldn't even be able to fight back.
"No matter what, you can say whatever you want." Liang Tao suddenly became interested: "I'm also curious, how would Zhang Duanjing react if he knew about this?"
