Zhao Miao held up the fairy fruit and saluted to Hongxueke and the heads of the hall to express his gratitude. Naturally, he felt a little happy in his heart, but he had to keep a calm and calm face to avoid losing his dignity and causing jokes.
"Although you won a small victory, it was because your colleagues from all walks of life were indifferent and had no intention of competing with you." Zhang Duanjing was as serious and solemn as ever, and said to Zhao Shu: "Now that I have obtained the Shenke Immortal Fruit, I must not get carried away.
If you indulge your will, you should keep quiet and practice diligently, otherwise disaster will come and you will not be able to save yourself even if you have hundreds of immortal fruits!"
"Students, please remember the instructions." Zhao Shu bowed and said.
"You still haven't packed your things? Get out of here quickly!" Zhang Duanjing shouted in a low voice, puffing up his sleeves.
Zhao Shu did not dare to be careless and quickly took away the items in the altar. Seeing this, the chief minister of the Mingxia Palace couldn't help but said: "Master Zhang, although a strict teacher produces a good disciple, are you too harsh on Marquis Zhenming?"
Zhang Duanjing reminded: "This is the Yingzhou Club, there is only Zhao Shu, and there is no Zhenminghou. As for being harsh, it is because Zhao Shu has made mistakes many times because of his complacency. If he is not constantly corrected, he may make a big mistake."
Chief Ding didn't say much to pursue the matter, but Xu Zhouzi, the chief of the Jiangzhen Hall, said: "I originally thought that Zhao Shui was working in the Jinding Division and that he was good at magical objects and spells. I didn't expect that he was so proficient in rituals and rituals. I remember that time
There was a rebellious sword in Xingluo County, and it is said that in the end it was Zhao Shu who set up an altar and practiced magic, breaking the edge of the sword?"
Zhao Shu was just about to hide in a corner and play with the fairy fruit, but as soon as he said these words, he was immediately pushed to the forefront, attracting the attention of everyone around him.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhang Duanjing said.
Zhao Shu was worried. In fact, from just now, he heard the conversation between several leaders and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
It is said that in the past, the Yingzhou Association would send out junior disciples from various schools to compete and learn from each other. There may be different techniques and techniques, but like now, it is rare to engage in deductions and open an altar to practice the method.
Zhao Shu secretly glanced at Master Liang, and he couldn't help but guess that the current situation was probably not accidental.
On the surface, Zhang Duanjing and Liang Tao were in tit-for-tat and conflicted with each other, but they were able to use Chief Ding's suggestion to add fuel to the flames, allowing Zhao Shui to reveal his skills in rituals and rituals. To say that Zhang and Liang did not secretly communicate with each other in advance, Zhao Shui could not
I don’t quite believe it, but at least we have a tacit understanding with each other.
Liang Tao wanted Zhao Shu to assist him in his plans for the Taoist kingdom in the world with scientific rituals and rituals. It is unlikely that this matter should be kept a secret.
Because in the process of arranging rituals and rituals, it is indispensable to coordinate the circulation of the qi of heaven and earth. For experienced practitioners, the changes in the qi of a large area are very obvious and almost impossible to hide.
Zhao Shui will definitely have to make many attempts to arrange rituals and rituals in the future. If he is discovered, he must have a reason that can be explained on the table.
If you engage in religious rituals for no reason, you will probably be regarded as a witch, and you will definitely be reported to the king of the country by someone who is interested. What's more, Zhao Shui is not very popular in the public opinion nowadays.
, it is estimated that many people are holding back their energy to bring Zhao Shu down.
Therefore, Zhao Shu wanted to assist Liang Tao in arranging rituals and rituals. Not only could this not be done in secret, but it had to be done with great fanfare, and there had to be a reason that was difficult for others to refute.
Zhao Shu couldn't think of any way to do it, but the Yingzhou Conference was the best occasion right now.
A monk who once set up an altar to practice magic and broke the magic sword of the rebellious party is also a new noble in the court who is protected by the king. This is almost a perfect identity. If there is another will, Zhao Shu will do something about it.
, not only is it justified, but almost no one can stop it.
Zhao Shui was very shocked, because this conjecture meant that Liang Tao and Zhang Duanjing secretly joined forces to plot the plan together, including the ruler of the country and even the entire Huaxu Kingdom!
However, Zhao Shu did not dare to speak out. He only briefly described the setting up of the mandala in Xingluo County, and did not dare to involve too many things between Liang Shuo and Hengbi Gong.
However, when it comes to the final opening of the altar to practice the Dharma, Liang Tao's action will inevitably be mentioned. At this time, Xu Zhouzi interjected: "It's a pity that our disciples of Jiangzhen Hall were not good at learning and were beheaded by the demon under the altar."
Zhao Miao didn't know how to respond. The casual cultivators watching from the outside came to whisper: "I finally understand. This time, the leaders of several guilds have joined forces to cause trouble for Master Liang."
"When did they have such courage? Are they really not afraid of Liang Guoshi's revenge later?"
"You still don't understand? In the past, only Zhang Duanjing of Huaiying Hall would contradict Liang Guoshi, and that was with the secret support of the king. But now Jiangzhen Hall and Mingxia Hall are also involved, and they must have seen that Chongxuan Hall
It's not as strong as it used to be, so I'll take advantage of the opportunity and step on it."
"The gangs are forming cliques among themselves. Is the king just watching?"
"Do you really think that the king of the country doesn't know anything about it? Maybe they have communicated with each other beforehand, just to take advantage of the Yingzhou meeting to launch an attack!"
"That's right. A number of Liang's children were killed during the Xingluo County bandit suppression. The Zheng family in Jiujiang was overthrown because of the Jibao Pavilion case. No matter how rich the Chongxuan Pavilion's foundation is, it cannot withstand repeated hardships."
"The Yingzhou Conference was held in Dongshengdu, and Chongxuan Hall even wanted to transfer Liang Xiao from Juhongguan. It can be seen that there are no juniors in the hall who can take on big responsibilities."
"Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"Don't look at Zhao Miao of Huaiying Hall. Not only is he serving as the deacon of Jinding Division, but he is also good at rituals and rituals. This is the person who can inherit the knowledge of the hall. When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, Liang Xiao is very powerful.
But it doesn’t stop there.”
Those who can come to the Yingzhou Meeting are all people with sharp ears and sharp spiritual senses. These whispers are ringing in everyone's ears, and they are quite deliberate.
Liang Tao's face was gloomy. He looked at the head of the Jiangzhen Pavilion: "Xu Zhouzi, do you want to blame me for not being able to protect me well? How can you keep everything safe on the battlefield?"
Xu Zhouzi cupped his hands: "It would be best if Mr. Liang is willing to talk about this matter. I don't like to speculate on others with malicious intent, but if things are like this, please don't blame me for being suspicious."
"The people who practiced the Dharma in the mandala at the time were Zhao Shu, but he survived intact." Liang Tao said bluntly: "Instead of blaming others for their poor protection, it is better to think about whether my own disciples are not as good as others."
"Liang Tao! You are the national master after all, how can you make such unfounded lies?" Xu Zhouzi angrily said: "If the disciples of Jiangzhen Hall really sacrificed their lives for the country, I have nothing to say. But you clearly borrowed the help of the evil party monster.
, intending to murder other disciples!"
"I don't want to respond to such unwarranted slander." Liang Tao said with his hands behind his hands: "Now is the grand event of the Yingzhou Conference. As the leader of Xu Zhouzi, please keep your dignity and don't imitate those shrews in the market."
Xu Zhouzi wanted to speak, but the king said: "Everyone, please put aside your disputes for the time being and focus on the business of the Yingzhou Association."
The king of the country spoke, and Xu Zhouzi suppressed his anger. Zhang Duanjing said: "Since we are talking about the cultivation of magic, let's not talk about it and let the disciples of each school compete."
Liang Tao did not refute. At this time, Mrs. Zhu Zi beside the king spoke: "Swords have no eyes, water and fire are merciless. If fighting skills hurts each other, it may affect others. How about I set up a barrier, and each family
The monks in the hall are fighting in the inner circle. If there is a danger of life or death, I can use the magic in time to separate the two sides of the fight."
The king nodded slightly and looked at the six leaders: "What do you think?"
"I have no objection," Zhang Duanjing and several leaders replied.
As for Liang Tao, although there was no strange color on his face, he just nodded reluctantly and agreed.
So on an empty flat land on Yingzhou Island, Madam Zhu Zi twirled her jade fingers, like plucking silk strings and threading needles, and a barrier was drawn, which was like a net hanging upside down on the ground, with a radius of dozens of feet.
It was obvious to everyone present, especially some monks who had been exposed to the study of forbidden formations. They knew that setting up barriers was not something that could be done casually.
The enchantment is different from the mandala where rituals and rituals are performed. The mandala focuses on communicating between humans and gods, connecting yin and yang, and is an invisible portal. The enchantment, as the name suggests, is used to divide the inside and outside, and its focus is to protect and maintain.
Zhao Shu also paid attention to it. In fact, with his ability, he could draw a boundary with a charm, but he definitely couldn't draw it casually.
Originally, the Yingzhou Association was mainly a place for junior disciples to compete and compete. The real competition was for each house to teach disciples and teach the Dharma. This could better demonstrate the long-term future of the house, and at the same time provide a reference for the king to select talents.
But this time, it's more about a few experts showing off their own abilities, and there's no need to say much about secret competition.
Zhao Shui was a little puzzled. Liang Guoshi had been frustrated repeatedly this time and was obviously at a disadvantage. With his temperament, it was unlikely that he would tolerate this situation. He probably had some unexplainable thoughts.
Madam Zhu Zi laid the barrier, and the rest of the people sat in a circle. The king added: "Since it is a competition, the order of precedence should be determined, and there can never be a random fight."
"Your Majesty, don't worry." Mrs. Zhu Zi flicked her fingers to the sky, and the jade wine cups in the hands of many people present shone with light.
Everyone looked down and saw the numbers appearing in the cups. Madam Zhu Zi said: "Thirty-two junior disciples from each school will be matched up head to tail according to the number in the cup, and they will go out to compete in order."
The king smiled and nodded: "That's just right."
There was a lot of discussion around the Doufu barrier. The junior disciples were all comparing the numbers in each other's cups. Some were calculating who they would face, and the atmosphere was getting tense.
However, Zhao Shu looked at his cup and found that there were no numbers at all. Then he thought about it, he should not be considered a "junior disciple". In addition, he had just won a Shenke Immortal Fruit, and everyone had seen him.
Skill. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid I'll just bully the juniors and learn from it.
There are also some disciples in various schools who are not included in the fighting, such as Yi Jiangzi from Feilian School, but fortunately they don't care too much.
On the other side of the Chongxuan Hall, there were no numbers in Liang Xiao's cup. He immediately stood up, struck the blood halberd hard, and asked: "Mrs. Zhu Zi! Why are there no numbers in my cup?"
Liang Xiao's voice was loud, and the ferocious beast Qiongqi, who was sleeping behind him, also stood up and roared, overwhelming the discussion in the room.
"If Your Majesty does not want our Chongxuan Pavilion to win the Immortal Fruit, you can speak frankly, but you will not tolerate such bullying!"
Liang Xiao's words and gestures were even more arrogant and arrogant than Liang Tao's. Not only the other guilds, but also the casual cultivators and the Qi Refiners of the East China Sea changed their colors slightly.
The king's expression was still as usual, and Mrs. Zhu Zi spoke on his behalf: "Liang Wuwei, there is no need to be impatient. You have been practicing for a long time and have been on the battlefield for many years. When competing with other juniors, it is inevitable that you will not be able to win. And this year's Shen Ke results
If there is enough, we will naturally arrange more competitions."
Liang Xiao's chest rose and fell, and he tightened his grip on the bloody halberd in his hand. Looking at him, he looked like he was about to rush forward and kill him with the halberd.
"Don't be impatient." Liang Tao gently waved his hand to persuade Liang Xiao: "You will have a chance to show off your skills later."
After hearing this, Liang Xiao came to Liang Tao and stood beside him, and couldn't help but say: "Sir, these guys are clearly looking down on our Chongxuan Hall and the Liang family. Their words are full of disrespect and offense. How can you endure it?"
Liang Tao glanced at Liang Xiao and said, "They have their plans, and I have mine. You don't have to worry too much."
"But..." Liang Xiao lowered his voice: "This time I came to Dongsheng Capital to obtain a Shenke Immortal Fruit for the general, so that I can suppress the poisonous curse on him!"
"I'm here, don't worry." Liang Tao said.
In the distance, Madam Zhu Zi sang trumpets one by one, and the junior disciples from various schools came to the stage to compete and learn from each other.
Since they are junior disciples, their magic skills are naturally not very advanced. Zhao Shu took a few glances and found that some of them were worse than when he was in Lishan, Chengyang County. Magical treasures and spells were shuttled back and forth.
After watching it for a few times, I felt a little bored.
Zhao Shu held the fairy fruit in his hand and couldn't help but think -
The system of Guanxie seems to be related to the cultivation of immortals and Taoism, but in fact the pursuits are quite different. The monks of Guanxie are more focused on magic. Since ancient times, the sages have said that "Tao is the body, and technique is the use." Guanxie has been studied carefully.
The magic technique seems to some extent to be neglecting the basics and pursuing the weakest.
Zhao Shu actually didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and it was okay for the imperial court to train sorcerers. Or on the other hand, cultivating immortals and learning Taoism might not be suitable for everyone.
However, considering the previous words of the young students, let alone their achievements in cultivating immortals, they were not very good at studying magic techniques. Before they accomplished anything, they already looked down on the commonplace and were arrogant.
To put it more harshly, these young pavilion students are more greedy for the wealth of the immortal family like Chongxuan Pavilion. They yearn for the kind of life where they can sleep under a fragrant tent, serve concubines on the left and right, and serve under their subordinates without spending too much energy and thought.
Groups of slaves go out in BMWs and fancy cars...
Zhao Shu then thought about it. At first, he envied Liang Shuo very much, but now that he was the Marquis of Zhenming, if he wanted to, it would not be difficult to have similar material enjoyment as Liang Shuo.
However, when it was his turn, Zhao Shu was not at all happy or satisfied. As Ling Xiao said at the beginning, he and Liang Shuo were not the same kind of people, and he could not enjoy the wealth with peace of mind.
Zhao Shu looked at the fairy fruit in his hand. Even though he had such a treasure that was beneficial to cultivation, Zhao Shu still felt a little helpless. No matter how good the fairy fruit was, it was only for him to enjoy alone. It had no core and could not be cultivated.
Don't even think about trees.
However, the people who cultivate immortality in this world can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon in their food, occupy the beautiful mountains and rivers in their homes, and earn a lot. They are by no means poor and empty people. They can only find a way to take care of themselves.
