"Ahead is the Fumirage Valley." Fei Lian Guanqingli Zifei Luo said: "There is a group of Xiong Kingdom scouts outside the valley. They linger and dare not go deep."
Zhao Ziliang climbed high and leaned on his sword, looking at the ever-changing turbulent clouds in the distance, and sighed: "The accumulated energy is like black clouds, inspiring and bragging, and suddenly changing. Is there really something like a mirage hidden in the valley?"
"Brother Zhao is really good at joking." Wang Jiuzhang of Chongxuan Hall pointed to the northwest: "Nowadays, there is a war between bears in Huaxu. Not long ago, the leader of my family fought with the Four Immortals, and the thousand-year-old blessed land of Cuiyan Mountain was destroyed. The mountain spirits and water monsters have noticed the changes in the air and are afraid that it will be too late to escape. Who would be wandering around nearby?"
Shen Shangjun of Mingxia Pavilion asked: "Through Fuxiang Valley, you can cross the three passes of Ginkgo Ridge and reach the heart of Huaxu, but why didn't the Xiong Kingdom take this road before?"
Zhao Ziliang raised his chin slightly: "Fu Mirage Valley used to be a vast swamp. Legend has it that every time day and night alternate here, the mirage weaves into a large illusion. Mortals who venture into it will get lost in it. Even many people who seek to visit the real immortals I was trapped here and have not been heard from since."
Wang Jiuzhang pinched his fingers and said: "I don't know if it is because of the excessive killings in Kunlun Continent, which has caused resentment and drought for many years. The big swamp in the Fumirage Valley is actually dry. Although it is still muddy, it is enough for the army to pass."
"We cannot predict the number of days." Zhao Ziliang said with a confident smile: "But personnel can be manipulated. As long as the Xiong Kingdom's army walks into Fumirage Valley, the first beam of Chongxuan Pavilion can make clouds and rain, so that the army can Trapped in the mud in the valley, let us slaughter you!"
Qinglizi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to do. Although Brother Zhao volunteered and asked General Hussar to bring hundreds of fine cavalry, Xiong Country is not full of mediocre people. They noticed that the valley is full of mirages, so they certainly won't Will enter rashly."
"So the ethereal mirage in Fu Mirage Valley is the best location." Zhao Ziliang raised his sword and pointed in the distance: "If the mirage can be transformed into a military camp, what do you think the Bear Nation will think?"
Wang Jiuzhang's face was filled with joy, and he said with paws: "That's right! There is a Xiong Kingdom that can attack the Huaxu Kingdom from the Fumirage Valley, and vice versa! If they find that there are enemy troops hiding in the valley, they will definitely attract soldiers to defeat the enemy. via."
"So we have to take the initiative to make the Xiong Kingdom mistakenly think that there are a large number of soldiers and horses hidden in the Fumirage Valley." Zhao Ziliang said: "This is the reason why I asked for this flying elite cavalry."
Shen Shangjun asked with a smile: "Then who does Brother Zhao plan to use to control the mirage and transform the camp?"
Zhao Ziliang laughed: "Who else can do such a wonderful method except us, Fairy Shen?"
"Hippy smile!" Shen Shangjun's cheeks turned slightly red and he rolled his eyes.
"I wonder who should be sent as the vanguard to lure the enemy?" Qinglizi asked.
Zhao Ziliang held the sword in his arms: "Who else could do this kind of thing than me?"
Everyone looked at each other and asked, "Is this too dangerous?"
Zhao Ziliang laughed loudly and said with great ambition: "Since I have called you here to take risks, how can I succumb to it? I will take the lead in this matter, and you don't have to dissuade me! Come on, I have prepared some good wine before leaving, and I will drink it tonight. We will go to the battlefield with you tomorrow!"
Seeing everyone toasting, the heroic singing singing in the distance cheering for them, and the scene in front of him gradually being eroded by darkness, Zhao Shu finally woke up from his trance.
"Father!" Zhao Mian instinctively raised his hand and shouted: "Don't go! Fuxiang Valley is a place of death. Come back quickly! Grandfather and mother are waiting for you!"
However, no matter how Zhao Shu shouted to catch up, the scenery belonging to the past quickly passed away and was swallowed up by darkness in an instant.
Zhao Shu was in the darkness, and the old scenes turned into a little light and floated into the distance. He chased the light in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, he saw the light turned into a big tree, standing alone in the darkness, emitting a faint light. Following the falling leaves, Zhao Shu saw the Lingxiao sleeping against the tree, with its black hair scattered.
"Lingxiao? Why are you here?" As soon as Zhao Shu asked, he immediately felt strange: "What is this place?"
"Jade Emperor's Palace." Lingxiao sat up slowly with sleepy eyes.
Zhao Miao was slightly startled: "The deepest part of the Nine Palaces in the mind?"
"Yes." Lingxiao said: "With your level of cultivation, you would not be able to enter this palace originally. But when a person is detained between life and death, when the soul is about to leave, he will go directly to the Jade Emperor's Palace. See you here.
lifetime."
After hearing this, Zhao Shu was silent for a long time, with no trace of sadness or joy: "I... am I going to die?"
"This is your tree of life." Lingxiao pointed to the big tree that bloomed with faint light in the darkness: "For mortals, there is a tree of life. When life is in danger, the leaves will wither, and when life is exhausted, it will wither."
Zhao Shu looked at the weak life tree, smiled bitterly, and then sighed heavily: "I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?" Lingxiao lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, never looking directly at Zhao Mi.
"I repeatedly violated your advice and went my own way, and finally ended up like this." Zhao Shu regretted very much: "I failed to complete the things you told me. I failed to save the soldiers and people I wanted to protect. I, I...
…”
Lingxiao sighed softly: "You have improved your cultivation too quickly in the past two years, which may not be a good thing. You are a show-off person. As soon as your cultivation and magic power increase, you feel that you should do something, and you don't want to
Think about it and retreat."
"Really?" Zhao Shu felt deeply distressed: "Obviously when I encountered dangerous and powerful enemies before, I just thought about how to escape. Now I don't escape, but I end up facing death."
Lingxiao said calmly: "If you investigate life and death, you are destined to face death. The dangerous disaster will not disappear just because your mood changes."
Zhao Shu curled up and said, "Let me face these things alone. Why would I involve other people?"
"To receive bad luck from the country is to be the king of the world." Lingxiao said: "Since you hold a high position, you naturally have to bear the blessings of life and death for everyone."
"But I can't afford it..." Zhao Shu clasped his head tightly with his hands and ten fingers and cried loudly: "How could this be so! How could this be so! I obviously tried my best! Why do I still kill everyone?!"
"That was an accident." Lingxiao looked at Zhao Shu, who was crying endlessly, with the same cold expression as before: "According to the original idea, Liang Tao should have dealt with this evil god named Youzhu. But for some reason, it still escaped.
Jiaohui Cave appears in Jianjia Pass."
"That was not an accident." Zhao Shu said every word, and then laughed like a maniac: "That's because of me! It's all because I'm smart! I killed everyone!"
Seeing him like this, Lingxiao deduced it thoroughly in a flash: "The method penetrates the earth veins with a radius of thousands of miles and mobilizes the energy of heaven and earth. At the same time, it inadvertently destroys the already fragile seal of Jiaoxiao Cave, thus allowing Youzhu to travel through the earth veins.
Thus, he avoided Liang Tao's sharp attack and appeared directly at Jianjia Pass."
"More than that." Zhao Shu shook his head crazily: "I understand now that when I went to the altar to practice Dharma, I am afraid that I also destroyed the rules and regulations left by the praise officer, and exhausted the last bit of power to suppress the Nantu Demon God. So even if I was attacked
When Buxing returns, they are even more brazen and showy than before!"
Lingxiao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "This is Liang Tao's plan."
"That's right!" Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and said, "He taught me the "Nine Heavens Ziwen Dan Chapter", lent me the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform, and added the talismans and seals he dropped in various places. All this was to completely overthrow the remaining laws and regulations.
I seem to be using the Nine-Tian Cloud Platform as a barrier, but I have forgotten that the magic weapon of the Immortal Family has its own laws! When I first practiced the Dharma, the altar I erected was not the altar beside the well, but the Nine-Tian Cloud Platform! When I performed the Dharma, I entered
The laws and regulations gave Liang Tao the opportunity to use talismans and seals from various places to deduce nature and create new laws!"
"Awesome." Lingxiao sneered: "When you were successful in practicing the "Nine Heavens Purple Wen Dan Chapter", I said that you were the successor of Qingya Zhenjun, but I never thought that your words would become a prophecy.
The "Shuyu Wuzang Chapter" taught by Zhang Duanjing is obviously designed to be in line with the basic method of praising the official for welcoming the five directions and five qi, but it is not as consistent with the true meaning of Taoism as the "Nine Heavens Purple Wen Dan Chapter".
I originally thought that after practicing the "Nine Heavens Purple Wen Dan Chapter", your foundation may be able to transfer to the Xuanmen Immortal Way, and with Lu Wangji's guidance, as time goes by, you may be able to gradually wear away your stubbornness and rigidity."
Zhao Miao suddenly raised his head and looked at Lingxiao, then lowered his head in shame and said with a wry smile: "So what if I figure it out later? I think Liang Guoshi has killed the big snake now. He has real immortal magic power. I
These rituals and rituals may seem profound, but they are still played around with by others. What’s more, the Tianxia Dynasty has long been destroyed, and I, as the successor of the Zangliguan, cannot cause any big troubles!”
"You should put away this kind of thoughts first." Lingxiao reminded: "Sometimes you just want too much. People who cultivate immortals have less selfish desires. They not only want to reduce the desire for food, drink, sex, but also have all kinds of attempts to achieve success.
.
You have made rapid progress in cultivation in the past two years, but your character has not kept up. However, your power in the world has also been rising steadily, which has caused you to have many desires that are inconsistent with your own abilities. I know that you want to help those in need and benefit the common people, but
Both your cultivation level and your mental structure are far from reached."
"I know I was wrong." Zhao Shu knelt in front of the Lingxiao, kowtowed and said, "Please give me some advice."
"Now, you have to wake up first." Lingxiao flicked his fingers, and Zhao Shu felt like he was being thrown to the horizon, unable to distinguish between up, down, left and right.
After a moment of spinning, Zhao Shu felt that his body suddenly felt heavy. He immediately understood that his soul and soul had merged and he had regained control of his body.
"you're awake?"
Before Zhao Shu opened his eyes, he heard Zhang Duanjing's voice coming from the side.
"Teacher?" Zhao Shu was lying on the bed, with more than a dozen golden needles inserted into various points on his chest. There were five-color silk threads at the ends, which were condensed from the true energy and connected to Zhang Duanjing's five fingers.
Zhang Duanjing raised his fingertips and pulled out the golden needles one after another. Without waiting for Zhao Shui to stand up and speak, he raised his hand and pressed it softly, saying: "The evil energy in your body is entangled in the meridians, and I have cleansed it for you. These side techniques
The law harms others and harms oneself, so it is not allowed to be used again in the future."
"Yes." Zhao Shu could only reply in a low voice, and then asked quickly: "What's the situation in the city? That big snake, and everyone..."
Zhang Duanjing said: "The matter is over. I specially used medicine to make you sleep for half a month."
"Half a month?" Zhao Shu was surprised.
Zhang Duanjing's expression remained unchanged: "The big snake has been killed, all the dead have been buried, and the injured have been properly placed. The damaged houses in the city are being cleaned and repaired every day, so you don't have to worry."
That being said, Zhao Shu still couldn't help but ask: "How many casualties are there?"
"One thousand, four hundred and twenty-one soldiers in the city were killed, 3,170 civilians died, and nearly ten thousand were injured." Zhang Duanjing reported a series of cold figures.
Zhao Shu closed his eyes in despair, and couldn't stop the tears from pouring out. He still remembered that He Dangguan, Zhang Liwei and other soldiers had no power to resist in the face of the Youzhu Serpent. They were instantly shattered into pieces, and their heads were smashed into Jingguan.
Scenes that come to mind involuntarily when you close your eyes.
"Lu Wangji was seriously injured and is currently resting in another hospital, while Jing Shi was picked up by people sent by Chongxuan Hall." Zhang Duanjing continued: "Zheng Siyuan was lucky to have only broken a few bones and is now able to walk on the ground."
Zhao Shu endured his grief and asked again: "How is the battle situation on the front line?"
"General Wei won a great victory on the front line and captured Wuluo Town in Jiuli State a few days ago." Zhang Duanjing said: "While you are recovering from your injuries, I will handle the military affairs on your behalf, and all military supplies will be kept flowing. General Wei also sent people
He sent a letter to inquire about the situation, and I replied that everything was settled and the hidden danger of Jiaohui Cave has been completely eliminated."
Zhao Shu wiped away his tears. He trusted his teacher more than anyone else. His teacher would definitely handle all his official duties in Jianjia Pass more thoroughly and securely than he did.
"Who killed the big snake Youzhu?" Zhao Miao asked, "Is it Master Liang?"
After Zhang Duanjing was silent for a moment, he said: "It's the Nuo-faced swordsman from Xingluo County who holds the divine sword."
The expression on Zhao Mian's face froze. In order to fight to the death against the big snake Youzhu, he forced the evil energy into his body, and his mind was no longer clear. Later, he was knocked away by the big snake Youzhu and fell unconscious. He only vaguely remembered that he seemed
He was swallowed by a big snake and had no idea what happened next.
"Then, that swordsman can actually kill the big snake?" Zhao Shu's mind changed quickly. He found it unbelievable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, if the big snake Youzhu is really an innate sacred being infected by the faith and wishes of the mortal world, ordinary magic means
I'm afraid I really can't kill him.
Zhao Shu was so anxious that he thought he could fight the big snake You Zhu by attracting evil spirits and forming his true form, but he couldn't even leave a scratch on the opponent.
But if it were a divine sword that condensed the energy of disaster, it might really be able to defeat the enemy.
Recalling that in Xingluo County, Zhao Shui also spread the altar to pray for disaster relief, thereby suppressing the edge of the divine sword. Even with full preparations, Liang Tao was still almost injured when facing the divine sword. It can be seen that Chiyundu refined
This divine sword probably possesses the unparalleled edge of killing immortals and killing gods.
"Why didn't that Nuo-faced swordsman kill me as well?" Zhao Shu was confused at first. After all, his own rituals and rituals might be the nemesis of this divine sword, but he soon figured it out: "Is it possible that this is the case?
The famous swordsman was sent by Chiyundu to rescue Jianjia Pass?"
The more Zhao Shu thought about it, the more he realized it made sense. He and Chi Yun both had a good relationship. It was not advisable for Chi Yun, the Third Elder, to act rashly. He sent this Nuo-faced swordsman of unknown origin, which happened to restrain the evil god who came to the world.
It's just that it's really inappropriate for others to know that he and Chi Yun are in contact. Even the teacher can't say it. If the matter is exposed in the future, he will bear all the blame.
