The fire in Burial Di Valley burned all night, as if it was going to sweep away the filth that had accumulated for many years.
During the day the next day, Zhao Shu led his soldiers into the Burial Di Valley. What they saw was only a scorched black area after the fire, and there were some flames and green smoke at the corners. Even though the surroundings were filled with an unpleasant scorching stench, compared to
Yesterday, pus and blood fell from the sky on the battlefield, drenching everyone. The scorched smell in this area was simply as fragrant as the fragrance of flowers.
Zhao Shu found the altar, and after it was destroyed and burned, the skulls on the left and right sides were turned into blackened residue. However, the wooden carving of a wolf head and human body was not burned even though Luo Xixian split it into two pieces and patted away the charred ash.
"Sure enough, there was a spirit of a god who descended upon him." Zhao Shu was secretly surprised.
Just like the treasures of heaven and earth are transformed into magic weapons through sacrifice, the clay puppets and altar tablets that are possessed by the spirits of gods often cannot be regarded as ordinary mortal objects. Zhao Shu did not dare to be careless and took out a piece of paper with a prohibition on it.
Wrap the two pieces of the idol with the talisman cloth and put it away.
I used Yingxuan's Zhaojing Technique to look around. After being burned by the fire, the charm that was originally focused on the altar was completely destroyed, and there was nothing else worthy of attention.
Before leaving, Zhao Shu thought twice and decided to perform a soul-saving ritual in Burial Di Valley to straighten out the yin and yang people and ghosts here and disperse the evil and turbid air.
After dealing with these, Zhao Shu and the soldiers left and returned to the abandoned mine. The soldiers spread the word by word of mouth and learned that the earthen puppet yesterday was the spirit of Iron Lord. They unanimously requested to participate in the worship. Zhao Shu did not refuse and went to the cave.
People gathered outside the shrine to burn incense and pray.
After the worship was completed, Zhao Mi still stayed alone in the cave temple, holding the true-shaped talisman in his hand and summoning the spirit of the gods.
With the last experience, Zhao Shu felt much smoother this time. He walked up to Tiegong and immediately bowed deeply:
"Xiao Zhao thanks Tie Gong. This time we are going to attack the evil spirits. Without Tie Gong's foresight, Xiao Zhao may not be able to escape unscathed."
Tie Gong turned his head: "It's your fault to punish injustice and punish evil spirits."
Zhao Shu said helplessly: "It's a pity that the evil spirit escaped. Does Mr. Tie know where the evil spirit is?"
"I don't know." Tiegong replied: "This monster is very capable. While you were leading the army to fight, he had concealed his energy and fled."
This is the most troublesome part of fighting against evil spirits. The opponent will not stand still and fight to the end. He will turn around and run away when the situation is not favorable, and his escape skills are often very good. He may have been frightened by the iron gong puppet summoned by Zhao Shu. I hope this evil spirit will
If you can understand the power of Tiegong, stay away from Xingluo County as soon as possible.
As for where the evil spirit escaped, it was not something Zhao Shu could have predicted.
"The evil worships a god with a wolf's head and body. Does Mr. Tie know which god it is? Is there another temple in Xingluo County?" Zhao Shu asked.
"I don't know either." Tie Gong said: "There was indeed a divine light shining down on the valley where Di was buried before, but it was dark and unpredictable. It was not just a casual act of obscenity to worship evil gods."
Tie Gong, as an earthly creature and a true spirit of the mountains, still had such a judgment about the wolf-headed evil god. Zhao Shu did not dare to ignore it and secretly kept it in mind.
"You seem to be carrying an ancient object with you." Tie Gong said: "I find that it is somewhat related to me."
"Antiquities?" Zhao Mian had an idea. Even if his soul was traveling to the Void Palace at this moment, he could still "take out" his belongings. He raised his hand and thought, and the gold-wrapped tiger talisman was held in his palm: "Could it be this?"
Tiegong said: "It is exactly this thing. In the past years, I was granted the title of Tianxia, and my true spirit gradually became clear. In order to repay my kindness, I took out the Tieying mysterious stone hidden thousands of feet underground and presented it to the Emperor of Tianxia. Later I learned about the Tieying
Xuandi was forged into twelve tokens, and this Yinhu Order is one of them."
Zhao Miao was puzzled: "Yinhu Order? I thought it was the tiger talisman used to mobilize troops in ancient times."
"The Twelve Earthly Branch Orders are indeed similar to the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops." Tie Gong explained: "The orders transferred by this order are the generals, soldiers and horses of mountains, rivers, villages and communities. The imperial court crusaded against ministers, and the generals who went on expeditions received the Earthly Branch Orders from the emperor.
, When a stranger seeks out thieves, divine soldiers will eliminate evil spirits. Wherever the army passes, both Yin and Yang will be subdued."
Zhao Shu was shocked. He had heard about the magical effects of the Twelve Earthly Branch Orders for a long time, but it was rumored that most of them were lost in the turmoil in the late Tianxia years. He didn't expect that one of them would fall into his hands!
"The last person who held the Yinhu Order died in the battle in Xingluo County." Tiegong said: "This man's name was Zhang Shangxiu. He also summoned me to help with the Yinhu Order. Unfortunately, he was alone in the siege and died in the end.
Under the arrows of the rebels."
Zhao Shu lamented that even if he had the ability to summon ghosts and gods, he could not completely reverse the situation of the war. The wars in the last years of the Tianxia Dynasty could be imagined.
"But if the evil spirit could find Zhang Shangxiu's body, why didn't he take the Yin Hu Ling?" Zhao Shu was a little puzzled: "After all, it is a sacred object that summons generals and soldiers. The evil spirit should have this vision."
Tie Gong said: "The sacred things will be lost. What's more, today's summer energy has been exhausted, and the Yinhu Order is in hand and there are no generals, soldiers and horses to adjust."
"That's right." Zhao Shu paid his respects again and presented the Yinhu Order: "Thank you very much, Lord Tie, for clarifying Xiao Zhao's doubts. Since the raw materials for this order were collected by Tie Gong, you might as well return them to their original owners."
"This order is destined for you." Tie Gong refused: "I see that the tiger spirit you summoned is more sharp than solid, so I might as well combine reality with reality and use the tiger spirit to combine with the tiger talisman to condense it into one body. In the future, I may be able to ride on a tiger.
, especially better than Yufeng."
Zhao Shu was inexplicably surprised. Tie Gong could see the weakness of the divine tiger summoned by Zhao Shu at a glance. Whether fighting against Dongzhang Sanren or dealing with Yimu Min, the divine tiger's true form seemed majestic, but would always be easily attacked.
If you defeat them in pieces, it will be difficult to fight with the enemy for a long time.
"Xiao Zhao is very grateful for Tie Gong's advice." Zhao Shu said.
Tiegong turned his moire head and said, "You deserve it. What's more, I am about to leave this world, and it may be difficult for you and me to see each other again in the future."
Zhao Shu hurriedly asked: "Is it possible that Iron Lord wants to ascend and leave?"
"It's so mysterious here that I can't speak directly about it." Tie Gong said, "There's just one more thing that you should know. Recently, I feel that the Dharma throne in Yanze City is uneasy. It seems that there is another god who wants to come and sit down."
Zhao Shu immediately understood that what the other party was talking about was the Tiegong Temple in Yanze City: "Recently, monks from the Chongxuan Hall placed the Xian family's magic weapon in the Tiegong Temple. According to them, they wanted to use the temple's clean energy to maintain the magic weapon.
.Could this be what Tiegong said?"
"It may not be true to maintain the magic weapon." Tie Gong said: "I have abandoned the Dharma throne in the past, and there is only a little spiritual connection left. It doesn't matter who occupies it. However, the other party seems to be worried about the owner of the shrine, and repeatedly shakes the Dharma throne, trying to
Let me contact you. I have no intention of revealing myself, maybe you can meet me on my behalf."
Zhao Shu vaguely understood that now that the Chongxuan Hall had placed the Jiutian Yuntai in the Tiegong Temple, he might have taken a fancy to the complete shrine throne there and wanted to place a certain Dharma official there to receive incense.
The reason why Chongxuan Hall does this may be to control the righteous gods of Xingluo County. If even the main gods worshiped by the people here are the generals of Chongxuan Hall, then Chongxuan Hall will be better
This may be more effective than sending one's own children to serve as local officials.
In fact, Zhao Shui, like Luo Xixian, does not want to see the Chongxuan Pavilion becoming more powerful. However, Tie Gong has been very kind to him, so he cannot refuse it face to face, right?
In addition, listening to Tiegong's words, maybe it really wants to ascend and leave. The throne of Tiegong Temple is destined to be occupied. Its attitude is like asking Zhao Shu to handle an industry that has long been abandoned.
"Xiao Zhao just does his best." Zhao Shu had no choice but to agree.
"When the other party sees the true-shaped talisman, he will know that you and I are related." Tie Gong said.
…
After leaving the Xu Palace, Zhao Shu helplessly looked at the real-shaped talisman in his hand. At this time, Lingxiao finally spoke:
"This mountain god seems honest and honest, but he also has some small thoughts. I don't want to cause more trouble, so I will give you some guidance first. After you accept the favor from God, I will tell you what to do so that you can avoid it.
.”
Zhao Shu rubbed his face and said, "Yes, I'm not like you. When we first met in a dream, you asked me to get the True Essence Lock back."
"If I didn't declare my intention at that time, I'm afraid you would have regarded me as a female ghost." Lingxiao said without hesitation: "As for Tiegong, it was you who lowered your status and preconceived the other person as a righteous god. People have read it all over the world.
After hundreds of years, how can you compare to your slickness and scheming?"
It was not easy for Zhao Shu to refute, but unfortunately now that he was entrusted by others, he had no choice but to do it, so he had to bite the bullet and do it.
"Just now Tiegong said he wanted to stay away from the world. Could it be that he is really going to ascend?" Zhao Shu asked.
"I can't say." Lingxiao said: "The theory of ascension may not necessarily mean the same thing. There are also many opinions on becoming an immortal and becoming a true person. For some monks, after dissolution, the soul is guided by the dharma urn and goes to the cave opened by the ancestor.
When Gong Que serves as an immortal official, he is also regarded as ascending to immortality. It would not be surprising if Tie Gong received a certain divine talisman edict and left with Xu Gong Chaoba."
"Can it still be like this?" Zhao Shu couldn't help but wonder: "I have always seen many stories about the immortal world and heaven in the scriptures. They talked about ascending to the emperor of heaven and ranking among the immortals. Listening to your words, it seems
Not exactly the same?"
"There are heavens in the sky, which refers to the caves of many immortals." Lingxiao said bluntly: "The theory of the immortal world is nothing more than a general reference. The caves of various immortals may have interactions with each other, or may be subordinate to each other, or they may have their own unique style, free and easy.
Self-responsibility. It’s just that it’s not easy to open up a cave. In addition to having to reach the same level of cultivation as heaven and earth, it also takes a long time to deduce creation.
The vast cave heaven or the disciples of later generations worked together to open it up after they ascended. With the founder of the immortal family as the center, various wonderful realms and numerous palaces were built, and on the periphery were a group of immortal officials who guarded and protected the officials. The so-called thousands of truths and saints in the cave heaven, many refer to it.
in this way."
"I understand, you are planning to open up your own cave and not belong to anyone else." Now Zhao Shu could guess Lingxiao's intention.
"Yes." Lingxiao answered unabashedly: "Cultivating immortals and enlightening the Tao is all about integrating my nature and condensing my truth. How can I be free and happy if I want to join other people's caves?"
Zhao Shu couldn't answer the conversation easily. With Lingxiao's personality, it must be extremely uncomfortable for her to live in his mind.
…
"Master Luo, there are monks from Chongxuan Hall outside the camp asking to see you."
Luo Xixian had just returned from training with his elite soldiers and was assisting the soldiers in removing their armor. When he heard this, he immediately frowned and his words were full of disgust:
"Chongxuan Pavilion? Why did they come to me?"
The informing soldier said: "I heard from the other party that he is here to apologize."
"Apologise? Ha!" Luo Xixian laughed loudly: "Is this still the Chongxuan Hall I know? With their style, will they still wait outside the camp?"
The informing soldiers did not dare to say anything. Luo Xixian looked at the sword on the wooden stand, rolled his eyes, and asked: "Who did Chongxuan Hall send?"
"She is a woman who calls herself Jiang Ru." The informing soldier replied: "She came in a carriage with the Chongxuan Hall flag and emblem, and four maids each holding utensils."
Luo Xixian raised his eyebrows slightly and pondered for a moment: "Let her come over."
The soldiers were informed to retreat as ordered. Luo Xixian didn't wait long in the tent when a scent of fragrant wind hit his face.
Jiang Ru was seen wearing a curved train, her steps were light, her hair was lightly tangled, and she did not apply makeup. Her eyebrows contained a charming charm. As she stepped into the tent, a warm spring breeze spread out.
"I am Jiang Ru, and I would like to pay my respects to Mr. Luo."
Seeing the woman in front of him bowing down, Luo Xixian showed a bit of a sneer: "Liang Shuo sent you, the maidservant, and it seems that Chongxuan Hall is still arrogant."
Jiang Ru was not angry when she heard the words, she lowered her eyebrows and said: "There are many dead branches on the trees, and there are many ridiculous and incompetent people in Chongxuan Hall, which made Mr. Luo laugh. I came here now in the hope of bridging the gap between the two parties.
If those dandies are allowed to intervene in such important matters, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve the dispute. I have no intention of looking down on Mr. Luo."
Luo Xixian still didn't believe it: "Did Liang Shuo teach you this?"
"These are my words from the bottom of my heart." Jiang Ru raised her head and met Luo Xixian's eyes.
Seeing the other person's eyes shining brightly, Luo Xixian was silent for a moment and asked with interest: "You said you want to apologize, how do you want to thank me?"
"In addition to several boxes of elixir and jade ointment for healing internal and external wounds, I also brought a yellow bud pulse-nourishing pendant." Jiang Ru held out a wooden box, which contained a topaz-made pendant, which had vague functions.
Feel the vitality flowing out of it.
"This pendant was made by the immortal Ge Fuchuan, the master of external elixirs in the Tianxia Dynasty." Jiang Ru saw the change in Luo Xixian's eyes and explained: "This yellow bud nourishing pulse pendant was originally the thousand-year-old Huangjing of Dingyuan Mountain, which was nourished by the earth's energy.
Transformed into a stone body, it has gone through seven and nine rounds of the fire of the alchemy cauldron, refining away the dregs and revealing its jade quality. The beauty of Huangjing in nourishing hundreds of meridians is still there, and it has the effect of nourishing the true energy and harmonizing yin and yang, which is suitable for a hero like Mr. Luo.
.”
Luo Xixian is also used to seeing rare and rare treasures. Don't let ordinary magical objects pass by as inferior in front of his eyes. This yellow bud nourishing pulse pendant can be seen to be extraordinary at a glance. However, he practices the sword fairy method, and the sword is extremely expensive.
, if one can acquire such magic weapons to strengthen one's true energy, one will have no worries during the fight.
"You've put a lot of thought into it." Luo Xixian resisted the urge to take the jade pendant, stared at Jiang Ruyan and said, "It's just such a treasure that your Chongxuan Hall is willing to give away. I don't believe that the Yongjia Liang family is so magnanimous."
"Master Luo, the Liang family is not the only one in Chongxuan Hall." Jiang Ru leaned over and handed the wooden box to Luo Xixian, her clothes hanging down, inadvertently revealing a gleam of plump white skin, which was dazzling.
Jiang Ru seemed to realize that her manner was inappropriate, and quickly stood up and waved away the other maids, saying in a low voice: "Master Luo, we have been bullied and oppressed by the Liang family for a long time, and we are unwilling to stay under others for a long time. Today, Chongxuan Hall is not what it used to be. I
You also need to think more about yourself in the long term.”
