When Cao Qingwei showed a slight flaw, the wind knife immediately took advantage of the opportunity and invaded heavily. The thin blade cut through the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones, and the fine steel needle dug into the holes. They cut back and forth in this way. After a while, there was no intact bone or flesh in Cao Qingwei's body.
The inside and outside were crushed by the wind knife and turned into fine dust, which was blown away by the wind.
Zhao Shu waved his hand gently, and a group of Dharma-carpet generals stood on the clouds. After saluting Zhao Shu, they disappeared into the sky in an orderly manner, and returned to the Qingya Wonderland one by one, and the surrounding hazy clouds and fog gradually dispersed.
Looking at the broken corpses scattered on the ground and the collapsed houses affected by the fighting method, Zhao Shu sighed helplessly.
"Your magic power is beyond my expectation." He Qingchen said: "I have long heard about the system of Huaxu Guoguan, where monks wear urns and ribbons to sacrifice soldiers and horses, but today I saw it with my own eyes.
But it was unexpected. Those Dharma officers and generals you just summoned should not be soldiers and horses raised by Huaxu Guoguan, right?"
"I am already alone. Where can I find soldiers and horses to call upon?" Zhao Shu replied casually.
He Qingchen continued: "If I read it correctly, it should be a general from the Immortal Family of Chongxuan Pavilion? You have indeed inherited Liang Tao's dharma lineage!"
"Master Zuo Xiang is a high disciple of the Shangjing Sect, so there is no need to envy me for my inheritance." Zhao Shu said.
"Envy? Why do I envy you? If you don't have enough cultivation, even if you give me a lot of Dongtian generals, I won't be able to give you orders." He Qingchen said in a very frank tone: "I just didn't expect that Liang Tao would actually know how to use magic.
The pulse inheritance is completely left to you. In the past, only Liang Tao could perform such a scene of directly summoning generals from the Cave Heaven Wonderland to the lower world to help out."
"Shangjing Sect is also one of the three Xuanmen immortals in Kunlun Continent. Didn't your Immortal Family's founder send his protectors to the lower realms to help?" Zhao Shui was a little curious.
"No." Seeing Zhao Shu's suspicious look, He Qingchen simply said: "There is no need to lie to you, no, it means no. You can think that my cultivation is shallow, it is difficult to see the secrets of the Xian family, and I am not aware of the Xian family.
The generals went down to the realm to help.
But as far as I know, there are almost no records of the ancestors of the Xian family and the generals who protect the law in the Shangjing Sect in the past. After the predecessors ascended, except for some ambiguous star signs, they no longer went down to the realm. There were scenes of giving orders to hundreds of generals with dharma jars at once.
, this is the first time I’ve seen it.”
Zhao Shu was speechless for a moment, and his inner thoughts were a little complicated. His past experience told him that in the lower realm of the immortal family, entering the mortal world with thoughts would often cause disasters.
But thinking about it on the other hand, for the disciples who are in the mortal world, the founder of the Xian family ascended and never came back. He seems carefree, but isn't it also a bit cold and heartless?
"One Sword Dominates"
At this moment, He Qingchen was also thinking deeply about the fact that Zhao Shu could summon the generals of the Immortal Family to the lower world, which made him have to re-evaluate Zhao Shu.
If he is just a monk with high magic power, He Qingchen's scheming methods will not lack ways to deal with and contain him. But if the opponent has a lineage of immortal family inheritance behind him and can order generals to descend to the realm at any time, then he cannot be simply regarded as
As an isolated person.
"This Cao Qingwei has never been beaten before. I thought you were going to fight him for days and nights." He Qingchen planned to test him.
"Why did he fall into the trap prepared in advance because of his calculations and unintentional calculations?" Zhao Shu said with a look of disgust on his face: "But why are the spells and methods used to curse and ban life so vicious and cruel now? When the assassination was just carried out.
If the spells used were in the Tianxia Dynasty, at least half of them would be vicious and evil spells that would not be easily learned."
"You use the rules of the Tianxia Dynasty to restrain the people of the Xiong Kingdom?" He Qingchen couldn't help but laugh: "You seem to have forgotten that the curse of banning students does not mean that you must submit to Taizu Xiong at the beginning. Before that, what would they do? I
I can't control it either.
Looking back now, these cursed students may have been members of the Rising Sun Division for a long time. Seeing that the situation had changed, they took refuge with Taizu Youxiong. Under the guise of the big tree of Youxiong Kingdom, they secretly accumulated strength, and then took the opportunity to rebel and revive the Tianxia Dynasty.
.”
"Since the cursed students have surrendered to the Xiong Kingdom, you should strictly restrain them." Zhao Shu said: "Master Zuo Xiang will not know that studying such evil curses requires more than just kneading and chanting the incantation.
When practicing mantras, you also need to use many external objects to help you."
"I have reminded them, but the matter of restraining and banning students cannot be done by me drafting a decree." He Qingchen gestured to the corpses in the distance: "Otherwise, why do you think they would rebel? If they were still alive,
Maybe they will tell you that I forced them to have no way out and they had to fight back."
"Master Zuo Xiang is really good at passing the buck." Zhao Miao's expression was cold.
"Whatever you say." He Qingchen didn't care: "But now that Cao Qingwei has died so simply, I can't ask him about the follow-up arrangements of the Rising Sun Sect."
Zhao Shu said: "The fighting method just now was extremely dangerous. I couldn't hold back just for the sake of being able to ask questions."
"I think you are quite relaxed." He Qingchen touched his chin and said, "If the Fourth Immortal Master wants to deal with Cao Qingwei, he may not be able to do so easily."
"That's because I know something about the magic method of banning life."
Zhao Shu also understood that facing an opponent like Ju Jinsheng, just being seen by the opponent and sensing the energy was extremely dangerous in itself. He didn't know what means the opponent used to cast a spell on him.
During the Tianxia Dynasty, the art of curses and bans was advancing rapidly. Compared with the rituals and rituals of the praise officers, which were more focused on dealing with non-human beings such as ghosts, gods, and demons, the spells of curses and bans were almost exclusively aimed at mortals and even cultivators.
Designed for talented people.
From the very beginning, many vicious curses were intended to be used against masters like the Four Immortals, to invade the immortal body, shake the foundation of the Tao, and use all possible means.
It's just that the Tianxia Dynasty is still close to the Xuanmen Immortal Way, and the practice of many vicious curses is unsightly. Considering that the Tianxia Dynasty has a strong national power and all the barbarian people are convinced, the curse students don't have to think about how to deal with the masters of immortality all day long.
people.
But later, the world was in chaos, and the five kingdoms were fighting. Since the cursed beings chose to walk in the world, they were not allowed to roam freely. The use of magic must pursue killing effectiveness. After decades of changes, people like Cao Qingwei who are proficient in evil spells will appear.
, which is also reasonable.
What's more, when Zhao Shu dealt with Cao Qingwei, he relied purely on the magic weapon of the Immortal Family of Jiutian Yuntai as a cover, and summoned a group of Dongtian generals to open the altar and practice the magic. To put it into detail, it was more and less, and it was not surprising that he was able to defeat Cao Qingwei in one fell swoop.
At this time, a group of sergeants came on horseback from a distance, and several people led by him dismounted to pay their respects. He Qingchen ordered the battlefield to be cleared, treated the people, and sent another person to deliver a message to Duke Xuantu.
"Okay, now is the busiest time." Returning to the mansion, He Qingchen said to Zhao Shu: "Although Cao Qingwei is dead, he must have arranged events in various places in advance. At this moment, people in nearby counties are probably gathering to cause chaos.
Already."
"You don't want me to be a reinforcement for you everywhere, right?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Don't worry, this is not part of the agreement between you and me." He Qingchen took out a letter: "When you get to the foot of Tiancheng Mountain and meet the patrolling disciples, show this letter and you will be released. Master is waiting for you on the mountain."
Zhao Shu took the letter, frowned and asked, "What about the Dunjia Mountain Cave Gate?"
"Just go directly. I have already arranged manpower to deal with Henglu City and Deng Feibao." He Qingchen smiled and said: "You also know the other party. He is a fellow Taoist from the Yuxiao Sect headed by Gong Chenzi, and the elder Qi Fanchou in Qianji Pavilion will also know him.
Cooperate within.”
"Do you need me to take action?" Zhao Shui had to admire He Qingchen's rigorous arrangement. Even without himself, all of this was within his plan.
"It's best if you are willing to help." He Qingchen said: "As for other follow-up matters, we will wait until you open the cave door and everything is arranged."
"Master Zuo Xiang, aren't you worried that I will just leave and never come back?" Zhao Shu asked rhetorically.
"Those who really plan to leave and never come back won't ask this question." He Qingchen said calmly and confidently: "Besides, I won't force you to help me. It's you who want revenge, not me. You can completely regard this as a
It's my gesture of goodwill. As for conquering other countries and unifying the world, it won't happen overnight, so you can think about it slowly."
Zhao Miao was silent for a while and asked: "Is this retreat an advance?"
"Whatever you think." He Qingchen saw a few scribes approaching, waved his hand and said, "Go and do your thing, I won't leave you to chat."
Zhao Shu didn't say much. He Qingchen's scheming and thoughtfulness were really amazing. He didn't panic at all when faced with the major rebellion. He could still handle government affairs calmly after just experiencing an assassination.
It seemed that he had experienced a lot back then, but in fact he had not cultivated the ability to govern the country. If Zhao Shu was really allowed to be the master of the Tao Kingdom, I am afraid that it would only really ruin the great things and bring disaster to the people.
…
Looking at a thousand-jun iron figurine exuding a dull luster, it seems that the old man with decayed muscles and bones has regained his vitality. He slowly raised his thick arm and turned his head left and right with the face of a ferocious military general. His eyes inlaid with Yunliang stone exuded
A pale light shines out.
"How is the repair of the iron figurines going?" Deng Feibao came to the figurine refining cellar with his hands behind his back and asked the craftsmen present.
Looking around, the cave-like terracotta refining cellar is deep and tall, and the glazed crystal pillars extending from the dome are emitting a mysterious light from the Qianji Spiritual Moment.
A shrine-like cellar was carved into the walls on both sides, and an iron figurine was placed inside, as if it was being burned by invisible flames.
"Pavilion Master, four iron figurines have been repaired and can be used at any time." Seeing Deng Feibao's arrival, the craftsmen said respectfully: "The other eight iron figurines are seriously damaged and have exhausted their aura. They still need to be maintained for a while.
.”
"Too slow." Deng Feibao said with a frown. He knew very well that these two days were the period when the Rising Sun Cult was in trouble. Maybe the leader of the cult had already killed the left prime minister of the Xiong Kingdom and Duke Xuan Tu at this moment.
When the news of the chaos in the outside world reaches Qianji Pavilion, Deng Feibao only needs to step forward to calm everyone, and then rely on his accumulated reputation and the authority of the pavilion leader to ask everyone to cooperate with the Rising Sun Sect. It will not take long for Qianji Pavilion to be completely controlled by the Rising Sun Sect.
Effectiveness.
But in the future, the Rising Sun Divine Sect will need these iron figurines to help them fight against the Xiong Kingdom's officers and soldiers on the front line. They will have few soldiers and few generals. Their future status in the new dynasty will depend on how many ingenious creations Qianji Pavilion can create.
"Speed up the repair of the iron warriors at all costs." Deng Feibao ordered: "Call everyone to help!"
Several craftsmen looked at each other and replied: "This...pavilion master, we found that Elder Qi is mobilizing the power of Qianji Spiritual Moment, so the repair of the iron figurines has been delayed."
Deng Feibao's face darkened. This situation was not what he had originally expected. He could only give a few words of advice and then hurried to the Turning Stone Furnace.
The entire Henglu City is like a large furnace cellar, with scorching firelight flickering everywhere. It feels a bit hot and dry here. Many young craftsmen can't stand it, so they live in the villages outside Henglu City.
However, with Deng Feibao's cultivation, he was no longer afraid of the cold and heat. He came to a brass gate and knocked on the beast's head knocker, making a dull sound.
"Who is disturbing you?" Qi Guanchou's hoarse voice came from the other side of the door.
"It's me." Deng Feibao said, "Is it convenient for Elder Qi now?"
"I'm taking care of the fire. If the master has nothing important to do, just say it outside the door." Qi Fanchou said in a cold tone.
Deng Feibao was suspicious. Qi Fanchou had a high status and seniority in Qianji Pavilion. Although he was similar to Tao Hongjiu, he had a very old-fashioned temperament and did not like to socialize with others. However, he could not resist this person. He was the one who was most familiar with Zhuanshilu in Qianji Pavilion.
Senior, I can't easily attack him.
"There is indeed something important." Deng Feibao said: "This matter is related to the survival of Qianji Pavilion. Please ask Elder Qi to open the door and see it."
There was a slight sigh from behind the door, followed by a series of sounds of mechanical pivot movements. The two brass doors slowly opened backwards, and hot white mist vented from the cracks in the doors. It made people feel like a heat wave was hitting their faces. It was really strange.
How do categories stay within them for so long?
After Deng Feibao entered, he saw Qi Fangchou, naked from the waist up, holding an iron drill in his hand, with the end burning red.
"Tell me, Pavilion Master." Qi Guanchou didn't have the enthusiasm of other craftsmen. He raised his hand to grab an iron chain and pulled it downwards. When he raised his head, he could see the dense gear teeth interlocking, driving the brass door to slowly close again.
"The current repair progress of the iron warriors is slow, does Elder Qi know?" Deng Feibao asked.
"That's your business and has nothing to do with me." Qi Fanchou came to a furnace and stirred it a few times with an iron drill. Then he pulled another iron cable and activated the bellows that was as tall as one person next to it, causing the flames in the furnace to rise.
It became more and more fierce and hot, spewing out little sparks.
"How can we say it has nothing to do with it?" Deng Feibao explained with a smile: "If our Qianji Pavilion hadn't built ingenious instruments for the imperial court of the Xiong Kingdom, the countless fires in Henglu City would not have been able to find enough fuel.
Elder Qi is in charge of the Turning Stone Furnace and protects the lifeblood of Henglu City. It should be clear that the Yufeng Floating Cloud Stone is just a dead thing if it is not activated by the furnace fire. If the Turning Stone Furnace is stagnant for a long time, I am afraid that the entire Henglu City will also fall into death.
.”
"What on earth are you going to say?" Qi Changchou asked angrily.
Deng Feibao tried his best to maintain some respect and said: "I heard that the Turning Stone Furnace is mobilizing the power of Qianji Spiritual Moment, which has greatly slowed down the repair process of the iron figurines. I don't know why? I think Elder Qi should know it."
"Oh, this matter." Qi Fanchou was silent for a moment: "Didn't you say that Henglu City should be activated as soon as possible? I made some preparations as soon as possible and used my wit to heat up the furnace to avoid troubleshooting later.
