"If it is noon and the sun is shining down, remember the Danyang Talisman and collect the essence of the sun according to the spirit and rhythm of the Qi and pulse."
Zhao Shu sat cross-legged under the umbrella, his clothes were wet, and the hem was stained with mottled mud. He looked quite embarrassed. A group of otter demons sat quietly around for several times, listening intently to Zhao Shu's teaching of immortal magic.
"The fumigation of the sun essence causes the qi to return from yin to yang, and from turbidity to clearness. When the sun essence is used for a long time, it flows into the true qi of Danyang, turns into the wonderful, kneads and refines the true qi and condenses it into the demon elixir. The demon elixir gradually increases its luster, and then
You can imitate the rhythm of the human body's hundreds of meridians, and this is the method of transformation."
The group of otter monsters nodded their little heads as if they didn't understand. Zhao Shu pointed at the empty book and drew a Danyang charm to attract spirits. Even though it was raining continuously at the moment, the sun seemed to penetrate the dark clouds and shine down, making
The talisman and seal are shining and dazzling.
"I will now pass on to you the Danyang talisman. This talisman can refine the true yang internally and save dead souls externally. It can also enlighten the cinnabar and burn the talisman to summon people." Zhao Miao looked serious: "But you need to know that Danyang people,
It is a metaphor for the brightness of the original heart. Only by breaking through all kinds of evil and evil thoughts and making the heart glow with light can we understand the true meaning of Danyang. If you have evil thoughts in your heart and engage in greedy blood and filthy behavior, you will definitely cause internal fire to burn your body.
The disaster of destroying both body and soul!"
After hearing this, the otter demons were all trembling with nervousness. Zhao Shu looked around and said: "Okay, I have already explained the pros and cons. Those who are willing to receive the talisman can come forward. If not, I will
Not force."
The otter demons looked at each other, chattering, and finally kowtowed to the ground together. Several of them said: "We are willing to accept it. Please give me a talisman from the immortal master!"
Zhao Shu felt their thoughts and nodded slightly. He retracted the talisman and turned it into a flame on his fingertips. It seemed weak but burned tenaciously. He clasped his fingers and flicked again, and the flames fell on the otter demon's forehead like raindrops.
The otter demons who received the Danyang Talisman were filled with vitality, and their fur became more shiny. They quickly kowtowed again.
"Okay, no need to bow anymore." Zhao Shu waved his hand: "You have been working hard these days, so please go aside and rest first."
The otter demons obeyed and left. At this moment, Jiang Ru walked up with her skirt up and an umbrella in hand, saying: "The soldiers and civilians have withdrawn, and I'm just waiting for you to take action."
Zhao Mo nodded slightly, stood up with his sleeves rolled up, brushed away the moisture, and saw a rushing river under the hillside in the distance. The waves were rolling, hitting the embankment one after another, and the turbid waves were surging into the sky. There was also a newly excavated canal extending into the distance, but
It is not connected to the river, but is separated from the remaining mountains at the foot of Zhaoshu and the embankment by the river.
Looking at both sides of the river, there are many soldiers and civilians carrying them on their shoulders, hurriedly escaping in the wind and rain.
Then he saw Zhao Miao flying up to the sky above the embankment, holding a Qingxuan pen in his hand, full of magic power, and with one stroke, he was like opening the sky. Suddenly, mountains moved, rocks collapsed, and loud noises spread for miles around.
The barrier between the rivers was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the river water surged into the canal, diverting the raging floods.
At this time, earth-shattering sounds were heard from both sides of the river. Thousands of soldiers and civilians cheered for joy. Some people knelt on the ground and knelt down to worship Zhao Ming in the sky. It was actually the sound of the mountain shouting "Long Live the Mountain".
Zhao Shuping recovered and his body was full of true energy. A moment later, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds seemed to gradually dissipate due to the sound of praise from all the people, allowing the sun to shine on the earth.
"It's finally sunny." Zhao Shu sighed softly.
It was midsummer, and it had been half a year since Zhao Shu and his party left Xingluo County. Originally, he planned to go straight to Lingtai Ruins to set up the mandala. But he was able to get halfway there. It was late spring, and it was raining in most parts of Huaxu Kingdom, and it happened to be Sanchuan.
In spring tide years, floods occur frequently in Huaxu State located downstream.
In order to preserve the sacred land of Sanchuan Hepu, the imperial court originally planned to break the embankments to divert the floods. However, Zhang Duanjing, the leader of the Huaiying Pavilion, strongly dissuaded him, believing that this would harm the people along the coast, so he proposed to re-dig an ancient river channel and use it to divert the floods.
The leader of the country agreed with this method and immediately ordered Wu Kuijun to go to the ancient river channel. At the same time, he recruited hundreds of thousands of people from nearby counties and counties. The soldiers and the people worked together to dig canals and build high river embankments in order to divert the flood as soon as possible. The monks from various temples were also ordered to
They are dispatched to various places along the rivers and report any disasters as soon as they are discovered.
Zhao Shu was naturally among them. Due to the raging floods, which lasted all the time, the people could not dig the canal from the river. Instead, they had to dig the canal to the river. Zhao Shu was responsible for the last trick to destroy the canal.
The barrier between the river and the canal allows floods to be smoothly diverted and released.
After fighting day and night for more than a month, Zhao Shu realized for the first time that the creation of heaven and earth was beyond the power of human beings.
In fact, the first imperial edict that Zhao Shu received from the emperor was not to assist in diversion of floods, but to go to the altar to perform rituals and pray for clear weather and harvest of rain, in an attempt to curb the torrential rains that continued for days and prevent the floods from continuing to rise.
But no matter how hard Zhao Shu tried his best, he could only manage to get a few sunny days, and then the yin energy spread across the sky and the earth, and the rain continued.
Zhao Shu had no choice but to write a letter asking for assistance in digging the canal. He performed magic every day to move earth and rocks to build a high river embankment. And the group of otter demons who followed him also burrowed into the ground and dug into the canal soil.
It is soft and loose, making it easy for the peasants to dig and shovel it away.
In order to dig the canal as soon as possible, soldiers and civilians died of exhaustion almost every day. Zhao Shui was unable to do anything about it. He could only ask other monks to prepare Fu Shui Dan powder. But in the face of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on both sides of the river, this was a drop in the bucket.
.
Fortunately, all the efforts were not in vain. Seeing that the surging flood tide gradually calmed down after being diverted, and the heavy rain stopped, it seemed that the catastrophe had finally been overcome, and the huge boulder weighing on everyone's hearts was put down.
Zhao Shu did not leave in a hurry, but continued to perform magic at the diversion of the river, compacting the earth and rocks so that they would not be washed away by floods in an instant and cause another disaster.
"Marquis Zhenming, thank you for your hard work."
General Wei, whose clothes were soaked by rain and sweat, came over. He was wearing short brown clothes, rolled up his trousers, wearing straw sandals, using a shovel as a crutch, supporting his half-lame leg, followed by two soldiers, and came to Zhao Miao.
beside.
"What happened to General Wei?" Zhao Shu was surprised. General Wei was ordered to lead the Wu Kui army to dig the canal and build a high embankment. He himself was not sitting idle in the government office, but shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and stationed at the embankment in person.
They have been separated for several months, so that now he does not look like a veteran on the battlefield, but like a hard-working civilian husband.
"It's an old problem." General Wei grinned and said, "When it rains, my knees hurt and I can hardly walk."
"It should be that rheumatism invades the joints, making the limbs tired and inconvenient to bend and stretch." After Zhao Shu finished speaking, he raised his pen and scanned it a few times. General Wei suddenly felt a warm current passing through him, and the pain in his legs, feet and knees was greatly relieved, and he was as light as usual.
"Marquis Zhenming is really a wonderful magician. He can be cured in just a few strokes!" General Wei jumped up and down excitedly.
Zhao Shu shook his head: "It's just to guide the qi and blood and temporarily relieve the pain. I will prepare a pair of elixirs for General Wei later, but if you want to cure it, I'm afraid it will take a long time to rest."
"Then I would like to thank Marquis Zhenming first." General Wei smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that the current situation does not allow me to rest in peace."
"Why did General Wei say this?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Marquis Zhenming doesn't have to ask questions knowingly." General Wei sighed: "The king of the country has issued a decree and set up Zhenwei and Xuanwei armies. We will train the troops according to the method of Wu Kui army."
Zhao Shu really just heard about this, so he asked: "Who does the king plan to arrange to command the army?"
"They are the ministers who follow the lord of the country and do not need external ministers." General Wei said: "With the wisdom of Zhenminghou, he should understand why the lord of the country has set up two additional armies."
It has been more than a year since Zhao Shu left Dongshengdu and set up altars all over the country. Although he swept away powerful locals and became extremely powerful, he almost never interfered in matters in the DPRK. Even Zhao Shu
The proposal to establish subjects and select scholars also fell into the sea with no response.
Setting up two additional armies in addition to Wu Kui's army would definitely require a lot of manpower and material resources. From this point of view, the king not only wants to deal with Chongxuan Pavilion, but may also consider how to deal with other countries' attempts to take advantage of the chaos after bringing down Liang Bao.
attack.
However, Zhao Shui also heard other meanings from General Wei's words. The king did not allow Zhao Shui and General Wei to participate in the training exercises of the newly established two armies. He probably did not want them to get involved and wanted the newly established two armies to obey orders completely.
To the lord of the country.
After all, Wu Kuijun's relationship with Wei Xiuwen and Zhao Shu was too close. One was a general and the other was a teacher. Their status and prestige in Wu Kuijun was by no means comparable to that of outsiders.
"This time there was a flood in Sanchuan. Almost all the temples sent monks, but Chongxuan Hall did not respond." General Wei said in a low voice: "With this kind of posture, anyone can see that Chongxuan Hall has already cooperated with the king.
We are strangers, chaos is about to come, and now we are on the verge of breaking out, it all depends on who takes action first."
"Isn't Master Liang still in seclusion?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Perhaps this is why the king is on guard." General Wei said: "No one can predict the situation in Difei Mountain. What if Liang Guoshi is not seriously ill but sets a trap to lure us in?
But we’re going to be in trouble.”
Zhao Shu responded silently. As the layout of the site was gradually completed, the atmosphere of the altar became more and more grand, and the Qi of Qingya Fairyland became more and more closely connected. He suspected that some experts had seen the clues and speculated that Liang Tao was not
Injured and in retreat.
But Liang Tao remained hidden, which made others dare not act rashly. No one could guarantee that they would not fall into Liang Tao's scheme. This kind of unpredictability made Liang Tao even more shocking to the world.
However, Zhao Shu felt that the king might have other hidden methods, so he casually asked: "Master Liang is recognized as a living immortal family. Even if we don't talk about Chongxuan Pavilion, who in the world can deal with him?"
General Wei turned his head and looked left and right. Seeing him like this, Zhao Shu popped up a spell: "I have suppressed the surrounding noise, but General Wei said it's okay."
"That's okay." General Wei thought for a moment: "Does Zhenminghou think that if the country wants to deal with Liang Guoshi, there will be no experts to help?"
"Master?" Zhao Shu asked: "Could it be Hongxueke, the swordsman of the East China Sea?"
General Wei shook his head: "Experts like Hongxueke probably won't help, but Hongxueke is not the only one in the East China Sea."
Zhao Shu knew that there were many immortal cultivators in the East China Sea who were born in seclusion, but since such people chose to live overseas, they obviously did not intend to get involved in the disputes in Kunlun Continent from the beginning.
"I wonder which overseas master is enough to make Liang Guoshi fearful?" Zhao Shu asked tentatively.
"Have you ever heard of Marquis Zhenming of Huanbo Palace?" General Wei smiled mysteriously.
Zhao Shu frowned: "I have heard something, but I know very little."
"It is rumored that the current Qi Zhou family is the descendant of the Huanbo Palace in the East China Sea." General Wei said: "And it doesn't stop there. The Huanbo Palace also has close contacts with various water palaces in the East China Sea. They have formed an alliance and have already made the Chongxuan Pavilion
It is no longer possible to obtain spiritual treasures from Donghai Palace!"
Zhao Shu was secretly alarmed. He had heard Jiang Ru mention a similar situation, but at that time she only said that the number of water treasures obtained by Chongxuan Hall recently was far less than before. Thinking about it now, I am afraid it was the result of the secret promotion of Huanbo Palace.
.
"Is the Huanbo Palace and the various water palaces in the East China Sea planning to intervene in Kunlun Continent?" Zhao Shu was doubtful: "It's not that I'm too arrogant, it's just that these immortal cultivators who live overseas may not have experienced the tempering of the Five Kingdoms War.
After hard work, even if there are three or five people who are highly skilled in martial arts, they will be in disarray when it comes to fighting. I have seen Liang Guoshi's fighting skills before, and I can't defeat him just by relying on numbers of people."
General Wei smiled and said: "This time, Marquis Zhenming, you are wrong. The East China Sea is not a peaceful world, and the various Shuifu sects also want to fight for territory. The natives of some islands are still fighting and killing.
Maybe their customs and habits are different from those of Kunlun Continent, but they are by no means docile, idle and easy to bully."
For some reason, Zhao Shu was a little disappointed when he heard this: "I originally thought that the masters living on the overseas fairy islands can enjoy peace and quiet."
"As long as there are people, there will be disputes. Since ancient times, there have been no days of peace." General Wei comforted him: "Marquis Zhenming has opened an altar to patrol the country and flatten all the powerful people. I also understand a little bit of your thoughts. Ordinarily this kind of thing
The hard work of digging soil and building embankments does not require the participation of the monks, but you still try your best, and even delay the business because of it."
"Rescuing the people from fire and water is the right thing to do." Zhao Shu looked at the dark clouds that were gradually drifting away in the sky. Since the laws and regulations of the Praise Officer collapsed, he could not directly mobilize the energy of heaven and earth, but had to borrow magic power from Liang Tao.
The geometry of depth and breadth depends on the degree of connection between oneself and the Dharma lineage of Qingya Fairyland.
It’s just that in the past, the laws and regulations of the Praising Officers were for the purpose of benefiting material things and benefiting people. Zhao Shu’s mind was also based on this. In this way, he could mobilize the energy of heaven and earth and grasp the power of creation.
The Dharma lineage of Qingya Fairyland is based on the tranquility of the Immortal Family, and coupled with Liang Tao's intention to control the world and the energy of the world, this makes Zhao Shu unable to comply with metaphysics. Therefore, when applying the Dharma, he always feels that it is just scratching the surface and unable to achieve full effect.
If you are in a blessed place, your Qi will be fine, but if you lose the favorable location, the power of Zhao Shu's rituals will be greatly weakened, so that praying for clear weather and rain will only be effective for a few days.
Others admired Zhao Shu very much for his religious rituals, but he understood that his performance was not as good as before. As for Liang Tao's promise to Zhao Shu to be the future master, it is difficult to predict whether it will come true.
