In Jinding Division, Zhao Shui and Zhang Duanjing were alone. After learning that the teacher planned to assist Liang Tao, Zhao Shui almost thought he was dreaming.
"Am I right? Teacher, could it be that you just said that to deal with Liang Guoshi?" Zhao Shu asked again.
Zhang Duanjing shook his head and said: "I don't agree with the theory of a country in the world, but Liang Tao wants you to help arrange rituals and rituals. This may be able to protect the peace of the family and the country in the long run."
Zhao Shu muttered in his heart. In fact, when Zhang Duanjing planned to meet Liang Tao in person, he felt confident that the teacher would reject Liang Tao on his behalf.
But the result was as expected, Zhang Duanjing actually agreed to Liang Tao. Based on Zhao Shu's understanding of the teacher, he had always hated the immortal Xue Yin of Chongxuan Hall, a high-ranking family, and repeatedly confronted Liang Guoshi in the court without giving in. These
It is also known to both the government and the public.
However, Zhang Duanjing's attitude, although Zhao Shui was a little reluctant to react, was also reasonable. Zhao Shui also had doubts about Liang Tao's human country, but it was not a bad idea to use scientific rituals and legal services to protect the country and the people.
The only problem now is how to deal with Liang Tao, a master of the country who is about to achieve immortality.
"Do you think this is feasible?" Zhang Duanjing asked.
Zhao Ming pondered and said: "It is not easy to control the heaven and earth energy, ghosts, gods and spirits of Huaxu Kingdom through scientific rituals and legal services, but it is not completely impossible. I have tried it in Xingluo County, but it was done in a hurry at that time.
Even if you get Cheng Huang's help, there are still many imperfections. It might be better if you choose another county and let me verify it again."
Zhang Duanjing nodded slightly: "Okay, I will find a solution for this matter."
Seeing that the teacher agreed so easily, Zhao Shu couldn't say anything else. Zhang Duanjing said: "It is not appropriate to make public the matter of rituals. You should concentrate on dealing with the Jinding Division for now."
"Even Marquis Anyang can't know?" Zhao Shu asked.
"good."
"I know." Zhao Shu saw the teacher's serious expression and did not dare to ignore it.
"Bring Jieyoujue to me for a look." Zhang Duanjing said again.
Zhao Shu handed over the wine cup and asked: "I tried it before. Although it can gather some pure energy, it is far inferior to what it can do in the hands of Liang Guoshi. It can condense the pure energy from the sky and turn it into fairy wine."
Zhang Duanjing held the Jingying Liquor and looked at it for a moment, then said: "This thing is indeed a fairy magic weapon, but your cultivation level and magic power are not enough to show its beauty. Even if you use the spell, it can only attract wisps of clear energy to help
There are still some shortcomings in Yituna, and it can only be used to illuminate talisman ink."
"I wonder which immortal family refined this kind of magic weapon? It uses Qingqi to exhale and cultivate, and it actually looks like a wine prince." Zhao Shu asked.
"I don't know either. The Taoist Immortal family may not necessarily be remembered in history. What's more, since ancient times, most of the immortal cultivators have lived in seclusion and their whereabouts are unpredictable. Without a clear lineage of inheritance, most of them will not be known to future generations over the years." Zhang Duanjing faced it.
Jie Youjue raised his finger and wrote a few strokes in the blank.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but wonder: "But Guoshi Liang doesn't seem to be such a person. He doesn't even say he lives in the mountains and forests. He can be found in nine of the ten gongs in Huaxu Kingdom. It would be fine if he was just a powerful minister, but he clearly has a high level of cultivation.
He is only one step away from ascending to immortality. Shouldn't such an expert think that his first priority is to live in seclusion and escape from the world?"
"Do you know why people who cultivate immortality want to hide from the world and cultivate in seclusion?" Zhang Duanjing asked.
Zhao Shu said: "No matter how mysterious the secrets are, they are all based on tranquility. This is the first essence of Xuanmen's immortal way. The main purpose of seclusion and escape from the world is to give up the worldly work and avoid the troubles of the world. Only in this way can you calm down and adjust your breath, and the ratings will return
Listen. Not to mention that the city and the streets in this world are inevitably polluted, making it very inconvenient to breathe in and out of pure air."
"Indeed, for those who are new to the wonders of the immortal family, if they are unwilling to stay away from the secular world, they will inevitably have their minds distracted and their ears and eyes tired. Such a forced practice of refining qi and keeping the spirit will only make the soul restless." Zhang Duanjing said: "But this
It is just the first step. If the practice of tranquility is deep enough and the ordinary worldly things cannot disturb the mind, walking in the secular world can also increase one's experience and accumulate merits."
"Throughout the ages, there are indeed many people who have cultivated immortality." Zhao Shu said: "But the vast majority of them still choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and there are only a few like Liang Guoshi. I read in the ancient notes that there are some monks who took the initiative to go down the mountain and join the world.
, but ended up being robbed and died."
"Those who like to be quiet by nature don't need to say much." Zhang Duanjing explained: "The so-called hiding means leaving room for yourself. You have been in Dongshengdu for a while and feel that you can't stretch yourself, which means there is no room for you.
Feeling. Because you are always in front of others, and your words and deeds are all bound by the world's customs."
Zhao Shu asked: "Of course there are constraints from worldly customs, but what if I forcefully break through at all costs?"
"When you assume that you are 'regardless of everything', then you have some scruples." Zhang Duanjing stared at Zhao Shu and said: "When you stand in the world, whatever you do will be left behind, and whatever you do will be implicated.
What you worry about may be the laws of the country, the eyes of others, your own expectations, or the blessings and misfortunes you bear.
Dongsheng Capital is one of the most prosperous places in the world, and it is destined to be entangled by worldly customs. As a deacon of the Jinding Division, you are jealous of fellow monks inside and have enemies from the enemy country spying on you outside. But you were in Xingluo back then.
If the county demonstrates its merits in rituals and rituals, it will inevitably attract Liang Tao's attention."
Zhao Shu finally understood: "No wonder, teacher, you always said that I was flamboyant and showy in the past. I didn't understand the meaning before, but now I have finally learned my lesson. Alas! If I had known this, I would have been better off hiding in the Huaiying Hall. How could I be where I am now?
These nonsense?"
Zhang Duanjing asked: "If you didn't experience it personally, would you really stay in the hotel?"
Zhao Shu gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid it's still like before, looking forward to going out and running around all day long."
"The beauty of seclusion does not lie in hiding in the mountains and forests. If you don't have the intention to hide in the mountains and forests, you will still attract evil spirits to spy and cause trouble if you show off your skills and energy in the mountains and forests."
In the marketplace and in the court, the people of the world do not realize that they are very different. They treat people and things with ease, advance and retreat with ease, and retire after their achievements are completed, in order to follow the way of heaven."
"Do you want to hide from the court?" Zhao Shu sighed: "It's a pity that I can't do it."
"I can't do it either." Zhang Duanjing returned the Lord of Jieyou to Zhao Shu and sighed: "Some things often require personal experience before we understand them, but we are in a situation where we can't retreat."
Zhao Miao was startled for a moment, then said: "It's not that the teacher can't quit, but that he doesn't want to quit, right?"
"Why do you say this?" Zhang Duanjing asked.
"Most of the junior high schools regard the Chongxuan Hall as the most respected one. Teacher, if you want to retreat, just join forces with Liang Guoshi. There is no need to be tough everywhere." Zhao Shu smiled bitterly and said: "After all, teacher, you still hope to be able to do it.
For the benefit of the people, I can’t stand what Chongxuan Hall does.”
"Seeking fortune? It's out of the question." Zhang Duanjing said, "It's not easy to find a way out."
"Teacher, can I help you?" Zhao Shu asked.
Zhang Duanjing nodded and said, "You are already helping me."
Compared with Liang Tao's emphasis on himself, Zhao Shui has always hoped to win the teacher's approval. Now that he can plan big things with his teacher, Zhao Shui feels more relieved than the thousands of compliments and praises from others.
After Zhang Duanjing left, Zhao Miao played with Jie Youjue and hid in the room by himself and kept laughing. Until Ling Xiao appeared and said calmly:
"Zhang Duanjing is really good at teaching disciples and teaching the Dharma."
"Of course, that's my teacher." Zhao Shu patted his chest.
Lingxiao glanced lightly: "Are you bragging about yourself or others?"
"People often say that famous teachers produce great disciples, and the higher my achievements are. Doesn't this prove that my teacher is highly skilled?" Zhao Shu said with a smile.
"Compared with Liang Tao, Zhang Duanjing may not have a better understanding of the Tao." Lingxiao said with a detached attitude: "Liang Tao is not a hermit, but he can easily deal with the world's customs. After all, the two have different views. You
You should know that there is a difference between hiding and avoiding. Only those who are talented and capable but do not show them can be hidden; those who are incapable of fearing difficulties and fleeing are hiding. Not everyone is qualified to say that he is a hermit, and those who are incompetent can escape.
When you enter the mountains and forests, you are no different from an animal."
Zhao Shu curled his lips and said Lingxiao: "Those who hold on to the measures of a family cannot build a whole family. Those who hold on to the measures of a country cannot build a country. Lifting weights with all your strength cannot be used. Liang Tao's ambitions are in the world, and his vision has long been beyond the corner of the east.
The country of Huaxu was even prepared in advance for future wars and chaos.
Even Zhang Duanjing has to submit this time. In fact, it is impossible for him to reject Liang Tao for you. If he cannot participate in it, the Huaiying Pavilion will completely lose its foothold in the future. What Liang Tao is using is a conspiracy.
, and he has calculated the thoughts of your master and disciples, and in the name of righteousness, you have no way to avoid it."
"This move is really amazing." Zhao Shu sighed.
The spirit flute floated in the air, and the sleeves of clothes gently brushed against the Jieyou Jue in Zhao Mi's hand. Zhao Mi barely felt it.
"It's quite unique." Lingxiao's expression was cold: "It's called Jiujue, and it actually looks like a cauldron. It captures the pure energy of immortal spirits and condenses it into jade liquid for refining. It can be regarded as a new way to make alchemy using water method."
"You mean, Jieyoujue is actually an alchemy furnace?" Zhao Shu asked.
"The shapes are different, but the philosophy is the same." Lingxiao said: "This prince does not use five kinds of metals, eight stones, plants, trees and flowers as medicine, but directly collects Qi to regulate it. If the prediction is correct, this prince is to confirm the destiny after achieving the immortal way.
It is refined with the power of others, and it is carefully imagined to be similar to the true essence lock phase."
Zhao Shu asked curiously: "Do you know the immortal family who refined this noble title?"
"Judging from the shape of the Jiujue, it is obvious that the person who made the weapon entered Taoism and practiced Taoism long after I became an immortal." Lingxiao said: "What's more, this immortal family seems to have left the Jieyou Jue in the world and left it to its own devices. It is estimated that there will be no disciples to pass on.
"
Zhao Miao said: "Jieyoujue can induce clear energy, even if it is weak and shallow. It can use the clear energy to turn into purified water. If eaten with Huangjing, it can nourish the five treasures. If you don't even know this, the ancestors of the He family probably don't know this."
There aren’t many experts left.”
"Condensing the immortal brew and instilling the talisman water will probably be a waste of the wonderful use of this treasure." Lingxiao said: "It is rare to have this fairy magic weapon, but it can be used to arrange the Qingxu Mu Shen array."
"That formation that attracts the pure energy and nourishes the soul?" Zhao Shu asked: "Didn't you originally say that you would use Guishan basalt or Kunlun jade as the formation base?"
"The reason for setting up the formation with the spiritual material pedestal is because the world is short of pure energy." Lingxiao said: "But now that there is Lord Jieyou, there is no need to worry. If your cultivation is not enough to use the magic weapon, then you can use the formation to help you.
This bathes the soul and tempers the body."
"Is this a lucky break for me?" Zhao Shu couldn't help but said: "Originally, I couldn't even hope for a blessed land for cultivation, rare spiritual materials, but now I have them all, and there is a lot of surplus."
"Fortune is better than talent, but it is often fleeting." Lingxiao said: "Don't forget, these blessed manors and fairy magic weapons are all gifts and gifts from others. If the times change, they may no longer belong to you.
."
"Understood." Zhao Shu looked at Jie Youjue carefully: "The reason why Liang Guoshi can be so tyrannical and arrogant is because his cultivation level is high enough."
"Haste makes waste, and cultivation of magic power cannot be rushed." Lingxiao suggested: "It is good to concentrate on cultivation, but if you have too many intentions and insist on results, you may have short-term results, but leave long-term hidden dangers, especially
This is your current state."
…
Zhang Duanjing stepped on the five-colored cloud light and slowly descended, and came to the library in the Huaiying Hall. Several students from the hall saw the first one coming and bowed in obeisance.
With a nod, Zhang Duanjing went straight into the depths of the Library Pavilion, where a white-haired old man fell asleep leaning on his staff, guarding outside the restricted stone door.
"You're finally back." The white-haired old man raised his eyelids: "The little girl inside has a bad temper. Be careful to get chopped after you go in."
"I got it." Zhang Duanjing's face darkened, he raised his hand to make a seal, and lifted several restrictions one after another before the stone door slowly opened.
Entering inside, you will see that it is not dark, but an underground library, with stone lanterns hanging everywhere, and a few straw men picking up bamboo slips from the ground and putting them back to their original places.
As soon as Zhang Duanjing stood still, an ancient long sword was placed on his neck. The person holding the sword behind him did not wear a Nuo mask on his head, revealing the face of a heroic woman with cold and sharp eyebrows.
"I have said that Ah Shu and Liang Tao are not allowed to have close contact." The woman holding the sword said, "But you have gone even further. Not only did you let him serve in the capital, but you also put him in the whirlpool of the court because you thought he would live too long.
Already?"
"I know you care about Zhao Shu, lest he be in danger." Zhang Duanjing said in a straight tone: "But he cannot be safe forever, especially now that the situation in Huaxu Kingdom is getting more and more dangerous, so he is destined to be used.
And neither I, Zhao Wei, Ziliang, nor even Zhao Shu himself want to become incompetent and useless."
"The giant tree was cut down with an ax because of its usefulness." The woman holding the sword scolded: "Do you have to involve Ah Shui in it? I have a magic sword in my hand, why haven't I killed Liang Liang for so long?
Tao!"
"Now is not the time!" Zhang Duanjing was rarely angry, and he burst out with a sudden burst of energy. The air waves in the underground library reverberated, causing the books to fly and the straw man to collapse.
The woman holding the sword trembled slightly, and Zhang Duanjing calmed down his temper: "Liang Tao wants to kill, but not now. He wants to do a big thing, which is related to the future life of the general public in Huaxu, and Zhao Shui and I will also be involved."
"What do you mean?" the woman holding the sword asked, "How long will you continue to plot?"
"Having experienced the battle in Xingluo County, I will not bet all my chances of victory on a magic sword. This matter must be done by Zhao Shu. Now only he can gain Liang Tao's trust." Zhang Duanjing said: "Similarly, only
Only Zhao Shu can make preparations for us under Liang Tao's eyes!"
