Faced with Liang Xiao's challenge, Zhao Shu frowned and remained silent. Xu Zhouzi, the leader of Jiangzhen Pavilion, said in public: "The art of war has been defeated. Do you, Liang Xiao, just want to rely on your bravery to regain some face?"
Chief Ding also said: "A general should not start a war out of anger. Lieutenant Liang Wu has been fighting at the border for a long time, so he should understand this truth."
Zhao Miao could tell that the two leaders of the palace were obviously protecting themselves. Liang Xiao was a fierce general at the border and had been fighting for a long time. If he suddenly made a ruthless move during the fighting, even if Madam Zhuzi had set up a barrier, it would still be a little bit difficult.
Inadvertently leading to bad consequences is not what these leaders want to see.
However, Liang Xiao had no intention of retreating. He stared at Zhao Shu and said, "It doesn't matter what others say. The purpose of fighting and exchanging ideas is to prove each other's opinions. Are you even afraid of such a thing?"
Zhao Shu didn't answer. In fact, he was also thinking about whether he was too afraid of difficulties in the past. Whenever he encountered a dangerous and powerful enemy, which may not even be a powerful enemy, he would immediately think of how to escape.
After Hongxueke's advice, Zhao Shu found that his character still had some shortcomings. No matter whether he encountered a strong enemy or a difficult situation, fear was not enough to solve the situation at hand.
"Shenke Immortal Fruit is not what you and I want." Zhao Mian said: "All my colleagues in the country went to the Yingzhou Conference, and I was scared to receive one. If I hadn't been recommended by everyone, I really shouldn't have fought for more wins.
.If Fellow Daoist Liang wants to, find someone else to learn from, and you can also confirm the power of cultivation."
This time, Zhao Shu was not afraid, but understood that he might not be Liang Xiao's opponent in this face-to-face situation without any advance preparation. In addition to Liang Xiao's competitiveness, this fight also had the intention of testing himself.
.
Zhao Shu could see that the six guilds in Huaxu Kingdom had gradually divided into two factions, and Zhao Shu was regarded by some people as the key to checking and balancing the Chongxuan guild. Zhao Shu could not care what others thought, but he did not
I don’t plan to continue fighting with Chongxuan Hall.
But then he saw Liang Xiao's eyes flashing, and the bloody halberd in his hand swept away involuntarily. Zhao Shu secretly defended himself, and with a flash of five-color brilliance on his body, he moved backwards, easily avoiding it.
The blood halberd in Liang Xiao's hand was not an ordinary iron weapon. The ferocious aura he had cultivated through long battles could actually be emitted by the blood halberd. It seemed that he had the ability to restrain the body-protecting spells. Even Zhao Shu felt that it was sharp.
Face, Qi movement is disordered.
Liang Xiao raised his halberd again and attacked. Zhao Shu stopped his feet and stabilized his body. At the same time, a pair of evil spirits of metal and earth surged in the place where he just stood, forming sharp stalagmites and bursting out of the ground. Liang Xiao's face changed slightly, and the blood halberd flashed.
Shaking easily breaks stalagmites.
"stop!"
Madam Zhu Zi gave a clear shout in the distance, and silk threads sprouted out of thin air in the barrier, immediately binding Liang Xiao's limbs and blood halberd, preventing him from moving.
However, Liang Xiao mustered up his physical strength and exuded a fierce aura all over his body. He seemed to be able to break free from the shackles of the barrier, which showed his bravery.
"Whether the Yingzhou Association should fight or not should be discussed by the leaders of each family, it is not your junior's turn to make your own decisions!" Mrs. Zhu Zi scolded, and then with a flick of her finger, Liang Xiao's body was thrown out of the barrier.
.
Seeing that Liang Xiao was about to be thrown out of Yingzhou Island, the ferocious beast Qiongqi immediately flapped its wings and flew up, barely catching Liang Xiao.
Liang Tao, who witnessed this situation, did not have an attack, but still stared at Zhao Shu with his beard twisted. When Liang Xiao was about to have an attack, Liang Tao said: "Okay, let's leave this matter for now."
After receiving the order, Liang Xiao immediately put away his arrogant attitude and stood beside Liang Tao holding a halberd.
Many people at the scene were a little disappointed when they saw Liang Tao retreating on his own initiative. They had been looking forward to Zhao Shu and Liang Xiao fighting in person, but they never thought that Liang Guoshi himself would make such a concession.
This makes it inevitable for people to speculate whether Zhao Shu has any powerful means that even people like Liang Xiao can hardly match. In order to save face, Liang Guoshi had to order him to stop.
"I never thought that Marquis Zhenming was also knowledgeable in the art of war." The king of the country waved to Zhao Shu to come forward. His warm smile made people feel like a spring breeze: "I have heard about it for a long time. Huaiying Hall is knowledgeable in miscellaneous subjects, and today I finally saw it."
Zhao Shu was originally thinking about how to explain that he was proficient in the art of war, but he did not expect that the king could easily cover up the past for him, and blocked a lot of gossip for Zhao Shu.
"I don't dare to do it. The military tactics I just deduced are just rough. My strategy is shallow and it is difficult for me to take on a big job." Zhao Shui knows his ability very well. He just holds the position of deacon of Jinding Division and feels that everything is difficult. If he continues
With more promotions and appointments, he was worried that sooner or later big flaws would be exposed.
The king smiled and nodded, without saying much. He looked at Hongxueke and raised his hand to signal. The other party waved his sword, and another fairy fruit fell into Zhao Mi's hand.
In this way, Zhao Shui became the person who obtained two Shen Ke Immortal Fruits at the Yingzhou Conference at the same time. This kind of thing even he himself found incredible.
"Now Langgan Shenke still has three fairy fruits, one of which belongs to Hongxueke as a thank you gift." After Zhao Shu bowed and retired, the king said: "With the remaining two, I wonder what the leaders will do?
"
According to the practice of the last Yingzhou Conference, after the junior disciples fought and discussed, there was also a Tao discussion in the hall.
It's just that when discussing Taoism, it's hard to distinguish between superior and inferior. Often both parties talk about the essence of cultivation. Especially when it comes to the realms of Liang Tao and Zhang Duanjing, their respective understandings and cultivation are consistent, and it is almost impossible to convince the other.
Now that we have reached the age of Zi, it is the time when the Qing Qi of Langgan God Ke Shu is at its peak, and it is indeed suitable to elucidate the Tao Xuan for the understanding of fellow Taoists.
"Your Majesty, I believe that discussing Taoism is unnecessary." Zhang Duanjing stood up and said.
"Oh? Why did Mr. Zhang say this?" asked the king.
"Now that the Jiuli Kingdom is invading the border, it is useless for me to sit and talk about it." Zhang Duanjing looked at Liang Tao: "Since the leader of the Liang Dynasty has used magic methods to deduce the war, then each family may as well send their disciples to Jianjia Pass to visit the front line in person to defeat the enemy.
The invading enemy will wait until the war has slowed down a bit in the future and rewards will be given based on merit."
Mrs. Zhu Zi also said from the side: "If the Kunlun jade box is used to store the immortal fruit, it can ensure that the pure energy of the immortal spirit is not lost."
The king nodded slightly, then looked around at all the parties present: "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Several heads of the hall looked at each other and responded in unison.
At present, only Liang Tao is silent. Without Liang Guoshi to speak, many things in the government and the public are not going smoothly. Everyone is waiting for him to express his position.
"I have no objection to the fairy fruit as a reward for meritorious service after the war." Liang Tao asked: "I just don't know who the king plans to send as the commander-in-chief?"
"I will convene a court meeting tomorrow for important military and national affairs. It will not be too late to discuss them then." The leader did not intend to discuss specific military and political matters at the Yingzhou Conference.
"Well, since His Majesty has made up his mind, I can't force him to stop it," Liang Tao said.
Valley Eagle
"In this case, the Yingzhou Conference has come to an end." The king stood up and handed over to everyone: "Today, I wish you all a long life, and the path to immortality is not far away. Twelve years later, Langgan Shenke will bear the immortal fruit, and I hope to see you again.
Continue the immortality."
Everyone who attended the meeting also stood up and saluted. Hongxueke swiped his sword and took away a fairy fruit. He bowed his hands to the king in return, then floated away in the air and disappeared among the stars in the night.
The remaining two Shenke fairy fruits were taken away by Madam Zhuzi, and then she boarded the airship with the king and left Yingzhou Island.
The monks from all walks of life on the island also said goodbye to each other, and some monks also agreed with each other that they would have a short trip to Yingzhou, and everyone would definitely gain insights.
Although Chongxuan Hall got three fairy fruits this time, when Liang Tao led the crowd to leave, only a few people showed them off. Liang Xiao looked at Zhao Shu from a distance before leaving, as if he was worried about the missing battle.
Zhao Shu ignored Liang Xiao's gaze, or he had no time to care at the moment.
At this Yingzhou meeting, the most popular person was undoubtedly Zhao Shu, and several pavilions came to congratulate him.
"Marquis Zhenming has won two immortal fruits by one person. This is the first time since the founding of the Yingzhou Society." Ding Shouzuo said.
"Oh? I'm the first one?" Zhao Shu asked: "But didn't Chongxuan Hall also win three fairy fruits this time?"
Xu Zhouzi, the leader, stepped forward and scolded: "What the hell is this? Chongxuan Pavilion took advantage of its power and took three fairy fruits by force. The behavior is no different from bandits and extortion! What's more, you, Zhenming Marquis, only relied on your own strength.
Who dares to question?!"
Zhao Wei bowed and bowed: "Junior, thank you two leaders."
Leader Ding flicked his fly whisk and nodded. Xu Zhouzi waved his hand and said, "No need to say thank you! Marquis Zhenming is the leading figure among the young monks in the hall. It is natural that he will shine brightly today."
Zhang Duanjing said: "He only got a glimpse of the immortal way, and he can't be said to be second to none. Xu Zhouzi is overly praised for being the first."
"Master Zhang, being humble and steady is a good thing, but being too humble will only make those scoundrels think that we are weak and can be bullied!" Xu Zhouzi raised his hand and pointed in the direction where Liang Tao left: "Chongxuan Hall disobeyed your Majesty and is now gone.
There is no scruple, and there are arrogant and powerful generals like Liang Xiao who are completely beyond the control of the imperial court. If we don’t resist uprightly, the Huaxu Kingdom will be in catastrophe!"
Jiangzhen Hall suffered serious damage due to Liang Tao, and Xu Zhouzi completely broke with it. As long as he had the slightest chance, he would refute every word and deed of Chongxuan Hall.
This time the Yingzhou Club, the Huaiying Pavilion, the Mingxia Pavilion, and the Jiangzhen Pavilion came together. Zhao Shu knew that he was able to win two immortal fruits this time, not entirely due to his own true ability.
The first fairy fruit may be Zhao Shu's ability to use rituals and rituals, but the prerequisite for him to be able to show it alone is that the leaders of the two factions are facing each other, and there seems to be the intention of Liang Tao's secret guidance.
As for the second fairy fruit, Zhao Shu felt that it was a complete accident. Lingxiao's proficiency in using soldiers was beyond his previous knowledge.
Looking back now, thinking about it carefully, Liang Tao probably had the intention of interfering in the war in Jiuli Kingdom by engaging in the art of war deduction. He should have wanted Liang Xiao to show off, so that the influence of the Liang family's children could be extended to Jianjia.
Pass, thereby controlling more troops of Huaxu Kingdom.
Zhao Shu's disruption may have exceeded Liang Tao's imagination. Judging from the fact that he took the initiative to retreat and did not let Liang Xiao continue to fight with Zhao Shu, Liang Guoshi should be actively thinking about countermeasures.
But considering that Liang Tao and Zhang Duanjing may have communicated privately, it is obviously certain that the imperial court will officially use troops against the Jiuli Kingdom. Is it possible that this is also related to Liang Tao's human kingdom?
"No matter what, I would like to thank Marquis Zhenming on behalf of the people of that seaside fishing village." Chief Ding gestured to the pottery urn held by the disciples behind him: "I will use this method to treat the local people later, and I will also preach to them
This is the merit of Marquis Zhenming."
Zhao Shu was a little flattered. He was a stranger to Chief Ding and had little contact with the female cultivators at Mingxia Pavilion. This time he was taken care of by her. Zhao Shu thanked her hurriedly:
"This is the meritorious deeds of Chief Ding. There is no need to publicize the name of the younger generation! If Chief Ding had not paid attention to the sufferings of the people, it would be difficult for the younger generation to achieve the same merit."
"If you don't want to take credit, that's fine." Chief Ding smiled lightly: "It's just that when we get to Jianjia Pass in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to allow you to escape."
Zhao Miao was startled: "What do you mean, Mr. Ding?"
"Do you think, Marquis Zhenming, that if the imperial court sends troops later, you will stay out of the incident?" Chief Ding asked.
Zhao Shu had no choice but to reply: "This junior is no more than a deacon of the Jinding Division, and he knows nothing about war and military affairs..."
Zhao Shu suddenly discovered that Lingxiao's guidance allowed him to leave a completely different image to everyone.
In the eyes of outsiders, today's Zhenminghou can not only kill more than a dozen demons from the Jiuli Kingdom alone, but also can stir up trouble in the court and easily bring down a wealthy family.
He is well versed in the art of war, and even the border generals cannot compare with him.
But how many of these things belong to the true self? Zhao Shu found that these opinions from others in the world have formed a heavy burden, and his own thoughts and ideas can't help but drift with the trend.
The so-called filthiness of the world is not necessarily just actual filth, but also includes these external influences that tempt people to deviate from a pure Taoist mind.
Zhao Shu finally understood why Liang Tao had such a level of immortality, but wanted to show his clone to the public. In other words, that clone was not only a part of Liang Tao's inner nature, but also the world's view of this Liang Guoshi.
"No matter what, Marquis Zhenming is destined to be a pillar of Huaxu Kingdom in the future." Ding Shozuo flicked his fly whisk: "If Marquis Zhenming visits Mingxia Pavilion in the future, we will sweep the bed to welcome him."
Zhao Mo's face changed slightly. What Chief Ding said was not wrong. It was just that there were female cultivators all over the Mingxia Pavilion. Sweeping the couch to greet each other sounded weird. He didn't dare to make random guesses, and just bowed to Mingxia.
Everyone left the museum.
"This time Chongxuan Hall suffered a loss, I'm afraid they will have to make up for it elsewhere." Xu Zhouzi said to Zhao Shu: "Marquis Zhenming still needs to be more careful. With the current situation of our Jiangzhen Hall, I'm afraid we can't help much. But since
I heard that Marquis Zhenming is proficient in rituals and rituals. Whenever we need manpower in the future, just send someone to say, "We can still do small things like protecting the altar."
"Junior, please remember your teachings." Zhao Shu replied.
There are just some things that Zhao Shu really can't say. The rituals and rituals he will participate in in the future are closely related to Liang Tao. If he really asks Jiangzhen Hall to help him, the leader of Xuzhouzi will be so angry that he will vomit blood if he knows the truth.
After respectfully sending the other monks off, Zhao Mi let out a long breath. He noticed that Zhang Duanjing had been staring at him and asked cautiously: "Teacher, do you have something to say?"
"It's inconvenient here. Let's talk about it back to Jinding Division."
