Jiang Ying's guest did not stay long. Zhao Shu returned to Yongcui Temple and pondered for a long time. After learning the origins of Ling Xiao and Zhen Yuan Jade Mansion, he knew that he had a heavy responsibility and he must be prepared.
Sure enough, a few days later, Qian Shaobai came to Yongcui Temple, and Zhao Shu took the initiative to greet him.
"I haven't seen you for a while." Qian Shaobai said: "The leader said that you are in retreat at Yongcui Temple and should not be disturbed, so you dare to come now."
"You have also made a lot of progress." Zhao Shu discovered that Qian Shaobai's cultivation of keeping the fetal breath for the past few years, even if he is not compared with himself, Qian Shaobai has made rapid progress among his peers.
"Excuse me, I can't compare with you." Qian Shaobai couldn't see through Zhao Mi at all, and only felt that the energy and magic power around him was just like that of an ordinary person.
"What important business does Fellow Daoist Qian have here?" Although Zhao Shu has a high level of cultivation, he doesn't like to pretend to be advanced, and prefers to talk to each other as equals.
"Master Zuo Xiang passed away." Qian Shaobai didn't know that Zhao Shui had already known it, so he took out a letter from his sleeve: "He left this before his death, saying that he would give it to you after you leave confinement."
Zhao Shu took the letter and sighed silently. He and He Qingchen were not close, but they were close friends in life and work. So after he found the immortal tripod, he left this treasure to He without hesitation.
Qingchen hopes to use the power of the divine cauldron elixir to prolong his life.
Once upon a time, Zhao Shu's vision for his future was that he was like He Qingchen, who could stabilize the country with his intelligence. But compared to his impatience and short-sightedness when he was young, He Qingchen's talent, intelligence and scheming were unparalleled in the world, and Zhao Shu was very fond of him.
Admiration from the bottom of my heart.
He Qingchen was able to be favored by Han Yuanzi and accepted as his direct disciple. It is assumed that his qualifications are excellent, and there is no doubt that he has rich immortal connections. If he was aspiring to the immortal way, he must have achieved a lot by now.
It's just that He Qingchen has no intention of doing this. In other words, what he does in the world is also to seek the truth in his heart, and he is definitely not obsessed with power.
When I opened the letter, I saw that the writing was on point——
"Seeing my words is like my face. When you come out of seclusion, I will have melted and left. Many people in the world don't know my heart, but you understand my intention. I have made arrangements for Xiong Chaotang. I had previously intended to entrust a national master to you.
You, please assist Your Majesty. Later I learned from my teacher that your heart is broad and involves the world of immortals, so I won’t bother you anymore.
However, the world is still uncertain. The southern barbarians are stubbornly resisting, the Western Rong are causing endless disasters, Huaxu is clinging to half of the border and refuses to settle down, and the northern frontier is moving wildly, hiding hidden dangers. Apart from bravery, we still need someone with great wisdom and ability to stabilize the world. Looking at the world, it is none other than you.
.
I am an ordinary person and cannot fully understand the mysteries of the immortal family. I can only make a few guesses. If you are determined to reorder the order of immortals in the world, you should start from the earthly world.
When the world becomes stable in the future, we might as well let all sentient beings bring misfortunes and blessings upon themselves. I have no children, but I know that as a parent, if I discipline everything, my children will be like birds in a cage, unable to fly high. Besides, the great road in the world is not just the path to immortality.
The immortal cauldron is temporarily placed in Tiancheng Mountain, and you can take it at any time. There is no need to say more about the rest. The future is vast, so I hope you will cherish it. Why should I pay homage to you again?"
After reading the letter, Zhao Shu stood in silence for a long time, and Qian Shaobai did not dare to disturb him.
Although these were his last words, Zhao Shu could tell that He Qingchen was extremely calm. He faced his life and death calmly without any regret or fear. This kind of state of mind was really rare.
"He... apart from this letter, does he have anything else he wants you to bring to me?" Zhao Shu put the letter away.
Qian Shaobai replied: "Master Zuo Xiang once said that if possible, it would be best to kill all the remaining demon gods deep in the southern soil so that the people can cultivate and cultivate in peace."
"I am still so pragmatic even after my death." Zhao Shu smiled and said: "I understand, I will do it myself."
Qian Shaobai added: "After the Four Immortals killed Master Tianlong earlier, they alarmed the remaining demon gods. Now they are hiding and it is difficult to find them. The leader said you have a way, so the Four Immortals did not come back.
Take care of it.”
Now Zhao Shu really has a way. No matter how deep the demon god hides, facing the evergreen sacred tree that connects the mountains and rivers, he is destined to have nothing to hide.
"What about Li Chun?" Zhao Shu asked: "I heard that the army has not yet invaded the Shengsi Valley?"
"Shengsi Valley has been besieged for more than half a year now. Although the inner and outer areas are still holding on, people are fleeing every day." Qian Shaobai said: "The court has actually been debating whether to attack by force, but there are more than 100 people outside Shengsi Valley.
Regarding the city fortress, there is also a barrier formation within it, so the casualties incurred by the attack would probably be huge."
Zhao Miao sighed: "Let me take charge of this matter. There are some arrangements in Shengsi Valley that were inherited from the Tianxia Dynasty. They were left by my distant ancestor Zhao Daoxiang. It is also the place where I settled a grudge."
"Then I'll go and send a message to the soldiers ahead to get ready?" Qian Shaobai asked.
Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Looking at how you are now, are you planning to stay in the court?"
"What the hell!" Qian Shaobai shook his head repeatedly: "I just want to practice for a while longer, and when the world is at peace, Shangjing Sect should also stay away from the secular world. This is also the wish of Mr. Zuo Xiang... no, it is the wish of the master uncle."
…
Li Chun leaned on the couch and looked at the singer and dancer in front of him in boredom. Her face was pale and blue, as if she was seriously ill. He gently shook the cup in his hand, and the maid next to him quickly filled it with wine.
At this time, a close minister came forward with a wooden box and said flatteringly: "High Priest, all thirty-seven members of the traitor Zhu Ying's family have been beheaded. Here is the head of Zhu Ying, the leader of the thief. Please take a look at it."
Li Chun glanced sideways, and saw that the head in the wooden box had a dead expression on it, like an evil ghost, which made Li Chun's heart beat violently, and then he waved his hand impatiently: "Throw it down and feed it to the dogs!"
"As you command!"
When the ministers were about to leave, Li Chun stopped him and said, "Wait a minute! I asked you to search Zhu Ying's house. Did you find any property?"
"This...is not due to his humble position and lack of hard work. In fact, this traitor has bad intentions. He has already distributed his property to his comrades. There is no money left in the traitor's house." A close minister replied.
Li Chun snorted displeasedly: "You are so hypocritical. Do you really think you are a good person? In the final analysis, you just want to use my head as a token of fame. Fortunately, you can find an official position in the Xiong Kingdom!"
"Exactly, exactly!" the nearby ministers agreed: "We tortured him severely and learned from Zhu Ying's family members that they had sent their cronies to flee with their belongings in order to contact the enemy's troops and plan to cooperate internally and externally."
"The inside should be coordinated with the outside?" Li Chun said with a smile: "The Holy Si Valley is guarded by the Red Dragon Division's fire formation. Even if the Dedao Immortal Family wants to attack by force, they can't even think of breaking into the Holy Si Valley without breaking their muscles and bones!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunder was heard in the distance, the earth trembled slightly, and then a crash shook everyone in the hall to stagger, the singers and dancers screamed and ran away, and Li Chun himself fell off the couch.
Li Chun was so frightened and angry that he had no time to pack up his clothes and rushed out of the palace. He saw flames rising above the Shengsi Valley and nine dragons roaring furiously. If one could use his eyesight enough, he could see the banners and the thousands of immortal generals and divine soldiers fighting bravely in the sea of fire.
The golden gate clasped the dragon's head, the jade lock wrapped around the dragon's body, and the nine fire dragons condensed with flames were killed one by one.
When the fire in the sky dissipated, it also symbolized the complete disintegration of the barrier that enveloped the Holy Si Valley. Then one saw thousands of saints lined up in mid-air, and a figure sitting on the top of the clouds. The atmosphere was majestic, vast and unpredictable.
"Who dares to invade the Holy Si Valley?!" Li Chun shouted angrily, pointing to the sky.
Zhao Shu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, looking at the disheveled Li Chun, and sighed: "The high priest of Shengsi Valley is actually a mediocre person with a drunken and dirty look. It seems that I am worrying too much."
"How outrageous!" Li Chun took out the Chizhang and shouted: "Don't think that breaking the formation and entering can be so arrogant."
After Li Chun finished speaking, he activated his magic power, and a ray of fire burst out from Chizhenzhang, like a spark igniting an oil pot. Fire hovered over the Shengsi Valley again, and Kowloon gradually appeared.
Zhao Shu just glanced at it, and then he held out a jade seal with a chi button, and the generals and officials from the left and right caves chanted sutras and mantras. A green water dragon came out with the seal, directly rolled up a huge wave in the air, and surged out in all directions.
Huge waves traveled across the sky, directly extinguishing the Kowloon Divine Fire, and the fire and water intersected, turning into rain and mist that fell over the Shengsi Valley.
Li Chun was horrified when he saw this. The man who came here had reached the heavens. He had previously said that he was not afraid of the masters of the Xian family. However, when the fight came, he realized what methods the real masters of the Xian family had.
But Li Chun did not give in. His chest was filled with rage, and the red scarf in his hand affected the surrounding fire. Even though there is no blessing from the Evergreen Sacred Tree, there is still the Huode Temple in the Shengsi Valley as a altar ritual to help him instigate his plan.
The spirit of heaven and earth.
Li Chun kneaded Bu Gang. Although he felt a conflict of qi in his body, wine was pouring out of his stomach, and the pain was excruciating, he still gritted his teeth and endured it.
In the blink of an eye, the Kowloon Divine Fire rose again in the Shengsi Valley, but this time it seemed to be uncontrollable and directly burned down a large number of residential buildings in the distance. Innocent people were directly burned to charcoal, causing a series of screams and cries.
Zhao Mian's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, silently practicing the immortal magic, thinking about performing merits, the green water dragon circled and formed clouds, and the rain poured down, dousing the rainwater on the houses on the ground to prevent the fire dragon from affecting innocent people.
Li Chun's secret opportunity was unmissable. He raised his magic power fiercely, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire burned the sky and destroyed the earth.
Zhao Shu sighed and raised his hand to dial fortune. The five elements of great evil divine light turned into a mountain-like palm print, which was suppressed violently. Although the momentum of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire was strong, it was turned into nothing by the divine light palm print, and the remaining energy from the fire dispersed into the world.
Seeing this divine light palm seal, Li Chun paused. He also practiced the Yingxuan Scenery Technique, and he could already see some clues, but he didn't quite believe it in his heart, or in other words, he didn't dare to believe it.
"A long time ago, a real dragon ascended the Heavenly Gate here and suffered three disasters, causing the dragon's blood to spread all over the earth, nourishing the grass and trees, and turning into a dragon's blood treasure tree." Zhao Miao said in a calm tone: "During the Tianxia Dynasty, the Chief Minister Li
Zhao Daoxiang was impressed by the extraordinary weather here, so he built the Shrine of Lord Huode in order to suppress evil spirits and stabilize the mountains and rivers."
Hearing these words, Li Chun immediately realized: "You, you are Zhao Shu!"
"Do you know the true meaning of Chi Zhenzhang and Si Huo Daji?" Zhao Shu said as if he was imparting knowledge to his elders: "The land in the south of Kunlun is humid and humid. If the people of Li want to gain something from their hard work, they must use the method of fire farming and water tillage to reclaim the mountains and swamps.
.
In addition, there are many demons and evil spirits in the mountains and rivers of the south, and it is necessary to use fire to burn away the filth, drive away the evil, and illuminate the dark night. This is an act of human enlightenment, but you have completely forgotten the teachings of your predecessors, and even joined forces with the blood-eating demon god. Chizhang is here
Your hands have been defiled for a long time."
Li Chun gritted his teeth and his face became more and more ugly. He was about to use his magic power again, but he saw Zhao Shu raise his hand and hook his fingers. The red scorpion flew away uncontrollably and fell into Zhao Shu's hands.
"No, no - that's mine, you can't take it away!" Li Chun flew up, looking very frightened.
"If you could understand the mentality of the predecessors, how could I take away Chizhang so easily?" Zhao Shu said calmly, and then gave some false guidance. The generals on the left and right of the cave sky were all covered with a layer of pure fire, and the clouds under him were also filled with light.
Turned into a cloud of fire, Chizhang's role in holding the altar was brought into full play.
Seeing that Li Chun was about to rush forward, the officers on the left and right raised their flaming weapons and attacked Li Chun with all their weapons.
Needless to say, after a series of explosions and flashes of fire, Li Chun fell to the earth like a bolide. However, he was not a meteor from the sky. He only made a soft sound and made a shallow crater, leaving only charred ash on the ground.
, blown away by the wind in a blink of an eye.
With Zhao Shu's current level of magic power, Li Chun, who is currently addicted to wine and sex, is not worth mentioning at all. The only thing that can make Zhao Shu worry more about it is the barrier formation outside Shengsi Valley.
This red dragon fire-wielding formation evolved from the fire-sitting ceremony passed down by the Huode Temple for generations. It seems to be clever, but it has lost the essence of being a fire-sitting with a pure heart, illuminating the world and breaking the darkness, let alone running into Zhao Shu? Even if it is Ke
Zhao Shu was also much more advanced than Li Chun when it came to rituals and rituals.
The formation was broken, Li Chun was beheaded, and the most important obstacle to the capture of Shengsi Valley had been removed. Zhao Shu sent a message to everyone on the ground: "Li Chun is going to be executed. The Xiong Kingdom's army is coming. If you surrender, you will be saved. I hope you will save your life."
For your own sake.”
Many people in the Shengsi Valley witnessed Li Chun's death with their own eyes. Most of them may not know who Zhao Shui was, but when they saw such an expert from the Immortal Family sitting in the clouds, and learned that they could save their lives by surrendering to the Xiong Kingdom, they knelt down one after another.
Bow down.
Zhao Shu sighed helplessly, dismissed the generals from the cave, turned into light and fell straight to the ground, ignored the surrounding palaces, and came to the Huode Temple.
What comes into view is not a majestic palace, but a small temple built with durable blue bricks and black tiles, which can even be said to be like a shrine.
In the temple, there is no wooden or stone statue. Instead, there is a brazier burning with endless flames.
This flame is so strange that even the brick walls are not blackened, but as long as you get close, you will feel the burning heat in your body and soul.
"The Essence of Lihuo." Zhao Shu couldn't help but whisper softly, then he held the red bamboo in his hand, collected his thoughts, and bowed respectfully towards the flames in the basin.
This ball of Lihuo spirit seemed to sense something, and flew out a little spark mark and landed between Zhao Shu's eyebrows. Zhao Shu was in a trance, as if he had gone back hundreds of years ago. Although there were people and settlements in the Shengsi Valley at that time, there were also demons and gods entrenched here.
The people suffered a lot, but they were unable to do anything.
And Zhao Daoxiang came here, led a group of disciples of the praise officer, fought a fierce battle with the demon god, and finally killed him. Zhao Daoxiang stood in the clouds, and countless people fell on the ground to worship.
That time and that moment, exactly this moment.
It's just that it's not the demon god who is harming the people in Shengsi Valley now, but the descendant of the praise officer. The changes in the world can't help but make people sigh with emotion.
At this time, Ruo Mu's voice came to Zhao Shu's ears: "I have found the location of those false gods."
"Okay, I'll leave right away." Zhao Shu replied, with the perseverance of his ancient ancestors appearing on his face. This chapter has been completed!
