Being said to be like his father doesn't sound wrong, but Zhao Shui knows that Shi Huoguang has never wanted to put himself in danger, lest Zhao Shui follow in his father's footsteps.
"I am different from my father." Zhao Shu patted Shi Huoguang on the shoulder: "I will take care of myself, please relax. You regard this Marquis Mansion as your own home, and I have asked all the servants here to listen to you.
Dispatch."
Shi Huoguang lowered his head and responded, "Zhao Shui was a little helpless. This elder who took care of him a lot was actually even less suitable for Dongsheng Capital than he was.
"I still have a manor outside the city. I need to take care of it before leaving." Zhao Shu was about to leave, but turned to look at Anyang Hou halfway and asked: "Uncle Shi, there is something else. The place in Bai'e Gong's cave."
Is there any news about this jade cong magic weapon recently?"
Marquis Anyang was slightly startled and reacted very quickly: "There are many variables in Chongxuan Hall now, and the people Shishu has made are not easy to find out the specific situation... Well, when Shishu goes to Jianjia Pass, I will try my best to open up the connections in Chongxuan Hall.
Joint, I will contact you as soon as I have any news."
With a smile on his face, Zhao Miao bowed and bowed: "Even so, I have Uncle Lao Shi."
After leaving Zhenminghou Mansion, Zhao Shu did not ride a horse or a carriage, nor did he bring any servants with him. He left Dongsheng Capital alone, with a ribbon hanging around his waist, and no guard dared to stop him.
Zhao Shu's steps were as light and as fast as flying. Even if he didn't deliberately lift his body, there was no rush in his movements. However, his clothes and sleeves were flying, his ribbon was in the wind, and his speed was better than that of a galloping horse. There was no dust behind him, just like the feather guest in the painting.
.
When Zhao Shu came to the edge of a rural river pond and was about to fly across the waves, he saw a brave figure on the other side, holding a blood-colored halberd in his hand, letting the sunset reflect slantingly, like a god general in a temple.
"Liang Xiao?" Zhao Shu stopped.
"It's me." Liang Xiao raised his eyes and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Zhao Miao asked: "I wonder if Fellow Taoist Liang has any advice?"
"To make up for the lack of competition in the Yingzhou Conference!" Liang Xiao's fighting spirit rose: "I said, I want to compete with you. There are so many things involved in the Yingzhou Conference, it's so annoying! Now we are in the wilderness, and the sky is getting dark.
It’s dark and there are few passers-by, so no matter who wins or loses, it will not be spread.”
"Fellow Taoist, you are very thoughtful," Zhao Shuyan said.
Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Did you agree?"
After a year in Dongshengdu, Zhao Shui has never been as clear-minded as he is today. He immediately took a deep breath, accumulated strength through all his veins, raised his sleeves and raised his hands, already holding the Qingxuan pen, and said loudly:
"Please advise!"
"Okay!" Liang Xiao shouted with a ferocious smile, and then his whole body was covered with blood like fire. A ball of violent energy was wrapped around the bloody halberd in his hand, sweeping across the air. The river in front of him was affected by the energy, and raised a turbulent wave, hitting his face.
Zhao Shu showed no fear, he drew a few strokes of his Qingxuan pen, creating a bit of frosty white air, and the waves in front of him suddenly froze into icebergs.
But the iceberg creaked and exploded in an instant. Liang Xiao held the blood halberd and flew to smash the iceberg with one strike. The blood halberd stirred up and smashed the ice cubes into cones and thorns, and shot them at Zhao Shu one after another.
As if Zhao Miao had expected it, he raised his left hand, and the air-forbidden talisman in his palm flashed, freezing the figures of Baishi Ice Pick and Liang Xiao, flicking with five fingers in the air, and the ice pick turned around and counterattacked.
"Well done!" Liang Xiao shouted loudly, and the blood glowed loudly. While breaking free from the restraint of the air restraint, he swung the blood halberd, and then the strong wind blew up, carrying the river water and flying around, scattering the ice picks.
Zhao Miao raised his pen and used the force of the strong wind to gather more river water around Liang Xiao, intending to make it difficult for him to continue, and turned several golden evil sword lights into the torrential waves.
Liang Xiao has been killing for a long time, but Zhao Shui's intentions are nowhere to be seen. He summoned up his power, and the violent energy on the blood halberd disappeared into the shape of a dragon. It actually broke Zhao Shui's water-controlling power, drained out all the water in the river and pond, and turned it into a
The tail dragon, with its terrifying power, destroys the embankments, breaks the fields, and crushes the surrounding wood and rocks into pieces!
Zhao Shu was surprised, but not panicked. The Yinhu Order flew out from his sleeves, faced the rising storm, and took on the true form of the divine tiger. It roared and hid its edge, powerfully suppressing evil, and the golden wind filled the sky like a mountain of knives passing by!
On the bank of the river pond, dragons and tigers were fighting each other, each showing off their power. The dragon swept away with the force of overturning the river and the sea, and the tiger pounced on it with the power of shaking the ground. There was nothing intact on the ground within a radius of tens of feet.
The soil kept flying.
The power of the battle between the dragon and the tiger aroused heavy air waves, sweeping in all directions. If any ordinary person was nearby, they would definitely be wiped out.
In the midst of the fierce battle between dragons and tigers, there was a small open space, like the center of a storm, where Liang Xiao opened and closed his blood halberd, using hidden techniques and hidden techniques, and attacked Zhao Shu continuously.
On the other hand, Zhao Shu, with the five-color brilliance of the Qingxuan pen in his hand, condensed, he only outlined the virtual points within a short distance, sealed the whole body for several feet, and blocked Liang Xiao's attacks one after another.
But Liang Xiao only felt that the blood halberd in his hand and his feet were getting heavier and heavier. Zhao Shu didn't know when he cast a spell on the ground, and the evil spirits surged, making Liang Xiao gradually feel inconvenient in his limbs.
"Little tricks!"
Liang Xiao's blood halberd suddenly paused, bringing up the ferocious energy to destroy the spell. Zhao Shu seized the right opportunity and made continuous strokes with the Qingxuan pen. The golden evil condensed into a sharp sword visible to the naked eye, and slashed at various parts of Liang Xiao's body.
Unexpectedly, Liang Xiao refused to retreat and relied on his physical strength to block the golden sword's light, leaving only a few shallow blood marks. He then took advantage of the situation and swung his halberd, targeting the gap where Zhao Shui could bring his true energy, with the intention of severely injuring him.
However, when the bloody halberd passed by, Zhao Shui's figure turned into a speck of light and disappeared. Liang Xiao was startled and realized that the murderous intention was approaching. He instinctively backhanded the halberd to break the illusion of concealment, and the sharp edge went straight to Zhao Shui's chest, but at the same time there were three golden evil spirits.
The sword gleamed across Liang Xiao's throat.
The two of them stood still at the same time, and the fighting between dragons and tigers around them stopped. The dragons scattered into mud and water all over the ground, and the true form of the divine tiger was mottled all over.
"Which one of us do you think will die first?" Liang Xiao held his halberd without moving.
"Fellow Daoist Liang has copper skin and iron bones, but my technique may not be fatal in an instant." Zhao Shu said bluntly.
Liang Xiao said: "You have a magic weapon to protect you, but my blood halberd may not be able to penetrate you with one blow."
"That counts as a tie?" Zhao Miao said calmly.
"You still have a tiger." Liang Xiao raised his eyes and glanced.
Zhao Shu smiled: "I have many magic weapons, so I take advantage."
"You can afford it, it's considered a skill." Liang Xiao slowly moved away the blood halberd, and Zhao Shu also removed the spell.
The two stood looking at each other again. Liang Xiao twisted his shoulders and neck: "After a fight, the muscles and bones were loosened... Could it be that the move you just made was the "Metal and Water Formation Technique"?"
"Not bad." Zhao Shu nodded.
"I used my fractal body to catch the killing move almost instantly. There are not many people in Chongxuan Hall who can practice to this level." Liang Xiao looked towards Difei Mountain in the distance with his halberd.
"Fellow Taoist, this is a ridiculous compliment." Zhao Shu took back the Yinhu Order and answered with his hands raised.
"Tsk, you're hypocritical." Liang Xiao waved his hand: "I heard you are going to Jianjia Pass?"
Zhao Shu smiled helplessly and said: "The news has spread to everyone on the road before the king of the country has issued the decree."
"I originally thought that except for our Chongxuan Pavilion, all other pavilions are a bunch of incompetent waste. If we leave the border military affairs to this person, the country will be destroyed sooner or later." Liang Xiao looked at Zhao Shu and said: "Now it seems that the Huaiying Pavilion is not perfect either.
It’s trash.”
Although Liang Xiao was domineering and domineering, he had a straightforward temper. Zhao Shu had no problem fighting with him, and most of his previous hostility and contempt disappeared immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Liang is also guarding the border for the country, and it is much harder than me." Zhao Shu said.
Gu Li
"I enjoy it and don't need anyone else to comfort me!" Liang Xiao waved his hand as if sending someone away: "The chief is waiting for you in the manor, come over!"
Zhao Shu knew that Liang Xiao would not stop him for no reason, and the only one who could predict where he was coming and going was Liang Tao himself.
After saying goodbye to Liang Xiao, Zhao Miao walked through the water and came to Fudi Manor. At this time, the sky was dark and the moon was high. He saw a pill floating in the courtyard, spinning around, and the moonlight was shining brightly.
Being taken into pills.
Zhao Miao walked in quietly, and happened to see a red fox the size of a calf, spitting pearls at the moon. The fox's hair was shiny, and its big tail swayed slightly with the aura of agility.
However, when the fox saw Zhao Mi, he immediately swallowed the pill back as if he was frightened, and squeaked a few times before running away quickly.
"This...is Jiang Ru?" Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Ru to be so afraid of being seen in her original form. Didn't she still disturb his altar with her original appearance?
"coming?"
Liang Tao's voice came from above. He changed into a serious purple robe and jade crown, sat on the trunk of an ancient tree, and stared at Zhao Shu with bright eyes.
"Master Imperial Master." Zhao Shu cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Liang Xiao blocked the road just now. Is that your intention?"
"Not really." Liang Tao replied: "This little guy is used to fighting and killing. Whenever he sees someone who is capable, he will go up and try his skills. I stopped him once at the Yingzhou Conference, but he didn't give me anything at all.
I have such a good face... The world is going downhill, where can I put my old face?"
Zhao Shu couldn't help but laugh. Liang Tao really looked like Lanzhi and Yushu, and was very handsome. Such self-deprecating remarks really made Zhao Shu laugh.
"I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" Zhao Shu asked with a smile: "Liang Xiao must have deliberately lost to me in the military deduction at the Yingzhou Conference? People like him are too rigid in deploying troops and generals, and they don't know how to adapt."
When Liang Tao heard this, his figure drifted down, and his eyes were a little scrutinized: "I did let Liang Xiao deliberately defeat the army, but I never thought that you would win brilliantly. I wonder who gave this advice?"
"My father is a lieutenant colonel in the army. Is it not surprising that I know the art of war?" Zhao Shu saw Liang Tao smiling and said nothing, so he added: "What on earth do you want to ask, Sir? But it's best to ask something I can
If I can't answer, then I can't answer."
"You're talking nonsense." Liang Tao said.
"Whether this is nonsense or not, the Imperial Master knows it well." Zhao Shu understood that Liang Tao suspected that there was an expert from the Xian family behind him to help him secretly. And just as Lingxiao said, Liang Tao had no intention of rashly questioning him.
So Zhao Shu simply used Liang Tao's suspicions and concerns to imply that he did have help from an expert from the Xian family.
Liang Taoxion's eyes were piercing, trying to see through Zhao Shu. At this time, Lingxiao said in Zhao Shu's mind: "Just ask him for the True Essence Lock."
"What?" Zhao Mian asked in his mind without changing his expression: "Isn't this too risky?"
"Now Liang Tao is half convinced. Only by pointing him in the direction can he be sure that there is help from the Immortal Family behind you." Lingxiao said.
Zhao Shu was determined, and at the same time, he thought for a moment and said, "Master Imperial Master, after you laid out the plan at the Yingzhou Conference, do you want me to go to Jianjia Pass as a matter of course?"
"Did Zhang Duanjing tell you?" Liang Tao asked.
Zhao Miao nodded: "I heard from the teacher that the seal of Jiaohui Cave is about to be broken down. In addition to preparing to kill the Jiaohui Demon King, Jiaohui Cave will also be transformed into a blessed place. It is estimated that it will be used as one of the altars for rituals." ?”
"Since you know it so well, I don't need to waste any more words." Liang Tao said calmly: "Also, I would like to remind you that one of the reasons for Jiuli Kingdom's invasion this time is to rescue this horned snake demon king. "
"My cultivation level is shallow, and it is not my turn to take action in such a big matter as dealing with the Demon King." Zhao Shu said, "But the Imperial Master seems to have forgotten one thing. He has always asked people to arrange rituals and rituals. Those who have received the law’s letter.”
Liang Tao showed a hint of curiosity: "Fa Xin? With Lord Jieyou and this blessed manor, what else do you want?"
"The magic treasures in Bai'egong's cave." Zhao Shu said.
Liang Tao raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you want those things for?"
"First of all, Bai'e Gong's Cave Mansion was discovered first by our Huaiying Hall, and it was taken away by your Imperial Master." Zhao Shu said: "In addition, there is a magic weapon inside, which is destined to me. Its shape is like a jade cong. , I wonder if the Imperial Master has seen it?"
Liang Tao didn't answer immediately, his eyes flickered and he didn't know what to think. After a moment, he said: "I see... but how can you guarantee that you won't run away after taking the things?"
"I don't think I can escape from the clutches of the Imperial Master." Zhao Shu said with a smile.
Liang Tao said, "That's not necessarily the case."
"Then how can I satisfy the Imperial Master?" Zhao Shu asked.
"It's simple. When the rituals and rituals are arranged, the magic weapon will be presented naturally." Liang Tao said bluntly: "This matter is not negotiable. You either agree or turn around and leave."
"It's a deal." Zhao Shu was also very frank.
Liang Tao fluttered his sleeves and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving words in the wind: "Then I would like to advise you one more time, don't be clever."
Zhao Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Lingxiao's words were true, he would still be nervous to deceive an expert like Liang Tao.
"In such a hurry to leave, he should be checking the True Essence Lock, right?" Zhao Shu muttered to himself.
At this time, Jiang Ru was seen walking out from the side. She was wearing a moon-white skirt, with a bit of shyness on her face. She bowed: "Greetings to Marquis Zhenming."
"You and I don't have to talk about this anymore." Zhao Shu rolled his eyes.
Jiang Ru smiled and replied: "Master Zhao allowed me to stay in this blessed place to practice. I have nothing to repay, little girl."
"It was Master Liang who asked you to stay here, not me." Zhao Shui would come to this blessed place every now and then to do some cleaning. The person in charge of taking care of this place on weekdays was Jiang Ru.
"No matter what, Mr. Zhao is the owner of this manor." Jiang Ru smiled slightly. Zhao Shu saw that her face was brighter than before. The injuries caused by Liang Shuo's death had obviously recovered. , his cultivation seems to have also improved.
"I will leave Dongshengdu for Jianjia Pass later, you... do whatever you want! Anyway, I won't be able to come back in less than a year and a half." Zhao Miao was too lazy to care about his hard life. , he will not be able to enjoy any blessings given to him.
Jiang Ru shook her head gently: "I plan to go with Mr. Zhao."
"What?" Zhao Shu frowned: "Are you mistaken? I am not going for an outing in the countryside. Now the Jiuli Kingdom is invading the border, and the military war in the Jiangjia Pass area is dangerous, even more dangerous than Xingluo County!"
"I know." Jiang Ru looked at Zhao Mi with an extremely firm look: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I won't hold you back. Besides, there are many monsters and monsters in the border area between the two countries. If you take me with you, it may be useful."
"Did Liang Tao ask you to follow me?" Zhao Shu's face darkened.
"Yes." Jiang Ru nodded, then raised her eyes and looked directly at Zhao Shu: "But I also have this plan myself, and I hope Mr. Zhao will fulfill it."
"Okay, even if I refuse, you will probably come." Zhao Shu reluctantly agreed and said, "Also, don't call me Young Master. It sounds so unpleasant!"
"Yes, young master." Jiang Ru covered her mouth and smiled softly.
