Just as Zhao Shu packed up a cart of ritual objects and prepared to leave Yanze City, Chongxuan Hall once again sent someone to invite him to the City God's Temple.
Zhao Shu was not surprised by this. Today, Chongxuan Hall still seems to occupy the City God's Temple. Hengbi Gong was also granted the imperial title because of Liang's petition. However, Liang Shuo could not summon Hengbi Gong freely. He only had three talismans.
The order was so precious that he did not dare to waste it easily. Without such a solid backer, Liang Shuo was always unwilling to work hard and was destined to look for foreign aid.
Especially after seeing Liang Shuo generously giving away pills and magic formulas in order to win over him, Zhao Shuo felt that he could get more benefits from him. Didn't Liang Shuo think that doing so would alienate himself from Luo Xixian? Then Zhao Shui might as well
Follow the trend and seize the opportunity to gain more.
It is a rare "excellent tradition" for quacks and magicians to take advantage of wealthy families. Mr. Liang was born in the immortal lineage. He seems to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but he may not be able to understand the tricks of charlatans.
ah!
"This is the late spring remnant snow recently harvested from Zigai Township in Hechuan."
Liang Shuo did not sit on the couch this time, but arranged fragrant tea and sat across from Zhao Shu. Jiang Ru was tending to the fire beside him.
Zhao Shu looked at the exquisite tea cup in front of him. It was as delicate as jade, light and translucent, and contained tea soup. It felt hot to the touch. The tea soup in the cup was light green, and the snow and white hairs were floating and scattered, just like the remaining snow in the mountains that had not yet melted.
When the tea soup enters the mouth, it will feel slightly bitter at first, but the warmth will naturally melt into the body, and the bones and joints will feel like they are soaked in a spring, dispelling the cold.
"How do you feel, Zhao Fulian?" Liang Shuo took a sip and played with the teacup gently.
"To be honest, I really don't understand much about eating and drinking, which makes Mr. Liang laugh." Zhao Shu said curiously: "But this cup is quite nice."
"This is a spiritual material made by the alchemy family outside the Chongxuan Hall, which uses earth, lung, wind and fire to boil stone and burn jade. The elders in the hall made it into cups and utensils, called jade muscle cups." Liang Shuo introduced: "This cup
The soups and drinks contained in them have the effect of nourishing and rejuvenating the appearance, and are also wonderful for enjoying... Since Zhao Fu likes it, I will give you a few."
"This... I'm so embarrassed." Zhao Shu said this, but he held the cup in his hand and refused to let go.
Jiang Ru next to her snickered secretly and said to herself: "You obviously want it, but you're pretending like this."
Liang Shuo said: "I am not just giving gifts. Official Zhao Fu should also put some thought into his daily life. We, the immortal cultivators wearing Mu Xuanfeng, should always be dignified. Otherwise, we will easily attract ridicule from the common people.
Worse, it will attract invasion by ghosts and gods."
Zhao Shu nodded as if he understood, but he couldn't help but curse that Liang Shuo could actually make up a set of reasons in order to enjoy the wealth of the Immortal family.
"According to Zhao Fu, how long will it take for the bandits in Xingluo County to be quelled?" Liang Shuo asked instead.
Zhao Shu thought: "This is really not what I could have predicted. However, judging from the report issued by General Wei, the bandits are at the end of their rope. Recently, the common people have occasionally escaped. In the future, we only need to advance steadily to recapture the city occupied by the bandits.
If we keep the outline, the bandit troubles can be quelled."
Liang Shuo put down his cup: "I remember that it was Zhao Fu who first found out about the Chiyun Rebellion's casting of the Divine Sword?"
"That's right." Zhao Shu said, "But the information I found out at that time was incomplete and failed to attract attention."
"Does Zhao Fu have a clever plan to counter the sharp sword of the rebellious party?"
Liang Shuo spoke in a tone of respect for his elders, as if he already had a plan in mind and was just trying to see if Zhao Shu could handle it.
It has to be said that Liang Shuo was very good at pretending. If Zhao Shuo hadn't known the fact that he had lost the protection of the immortal general, he would have been deceived.
Zhao Shu had no choice but to answer: "The so-called divine sword combines the Qi of heaven and earth. Where the sword's edge points, peaks and mountains collapse and rivers flow backwards. It is difficult for ordinary magic techniques to lift its edge. Moreover, even ordinary magic swords cannot be held by ordinary people, and the Qi of the five elements around the body
If it is not compatible with the divine sword, you will suffer harm if you hold the sword.
In the past, the Red Sky Divine Sword held by the Emperor Tianxia was linked to the destiny of the country. Tianxia was weak, and the Divine Sword was lost accordingly. I don’t think such a divine sword could be forged by a bunch of chaotic monsters.”
"Naturally, the rise and fall of the country cannot be known by the rebellious gangsters." Liang Shuo said with a smile: "But I also got news. It is said that the divine sword forged by the Red Cloud rebellious gang is not Fu Rui, but a disaster."
"Disaster?" Zhao Shu asked: "I wonder where Mr. Liang got the news?"
"Dongshengdu."
"Oh..." Zhao Shu didn't ask any more questions, and said as he thought: "The so-called disasters are mostly caused by the combination of the five elements of unhealthy energy, which spread between the heaven and the earth, causing misfortune. Either the mountains shake and the earth sinks, or the rivers
Surges, in short, can cause various natural disasters and cannot be regarded as evil.
If this is the case, the best way is to expel bad luck and pray for good luck to ward off evil. Set up rituals and rituals to eliminate the evil spirits of the five elements between heaven and earth. This is like cutting off the river upstream and weakening the edge of the divine sword.
, and be protected from dangers when facing enemies.”
Liang Shuo showed a bit of joy: "Zhao Fuli is really thoughtful. I wonder if he has the corresponding rituals and rituals?"
This question is a bit beyond Zhao Shu's level. Not to mention that the foundation of the divine sword has not yet been understood, and Chiyun has spent a lot of effort to forge the divine sword. This calamity divine sword is probably far beyond what Zhao Shu can do by himself.
Copeable.
But Zhao Shu then thought about it, just because he couldn't do it, it didn't mean that Chongxuan Pavilion couldn't do it! Isn't Jiutian Yuntai the altar of the Immortal Family?
"I can't do it by myself." Zhao Shu said helplessly: "The rituals and rituals that can resolve the aura of disaster must either be practiced by those who practice them to an almost immortal level, or be given by an immortal family.
The talisman or magic weapon borrowed from the immortal family can harmonize the qi of yin and yang and the five elements, so as to avoid disasters..."
When Zhao Shuo said this, he deliberately paused and looked at Liang Shuo: "By the way, isn't Mr. Liang the Immortal Blood Yin? With the protection of True Lord Qingya, I think I was fully prepared, but now I am being smart."
Liang Shuo smiled after hearing this: "Zhao Fu is serious, I am just an ordinary person. Even if there were distant ancestors who sought to prove the immortal way, we descendants must work diligently, so as not to make people laugh."
"Actually... I have another way." Zhao Shu said.
"Official Zhao Fu doesn't have to be polite in front of me, just speak out whenever you have something to say." Liang Shuo was reminded by Zhao Shu and was very happy.
Zhao Ming coughed lightly and said: "Now that Lord Hengbi has been entrusted with the title of the local City God, and he has received a letter from Chongxuan Hall, I think Mr. Liang should be able to call upon Lord Hengbi to help him with his merits. The City God only involves one area of the mountains and rivers, and monitors the underworld.
If altar rituals can be set up in various places in Xingluo County and they can sense each other, I think the effect of warding off disasters will be even greater!"
Liang Shuo did not answer immediately. He also felt that this method was feasible, but it would definitely require a summoning talisman, and the gains and losses must be weighed clearly.
However, considering the current situation of suppressing bandits in Xingluo County, if I do nothing, Chongxuan Hall's status in the government and the public may be shaken again, and it will be inconvenient to deploy my own manpower in Xingluo County. A summoning talisman
If you order this to be completed, it will not be considered a loss.
"I wonder if Official Zhao Fu is willing to assist?" Liang Shuo asked.
Zhao Miao cupped his hands and said, "I'll do my best."
"I'm afraid Zhao Fu is not capable enough." Liang Shuo smiled and gestured to Jiang Ru beside him: "Let her come with you. If there is anything missing in the altar ceremony, just ask me, and Chongxuan Hall will do its best to support it.
.”
Zhao Shu glanced at Jiang Ru, then stood up and bowed: "I would like to thank Mr. Liang in advance."
…
In the carriage, Jiang Ru looked at Zhao Shu across from him with resentment in her eyes.
"Since Liang Shuo asked you to follow me, I will definitely ride in this BMW and fancy car." Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Didn't Mr. Liang say that he wants me to pay more attention to my daily life, so it is inconvenient for me to take an ordinary carriage?
Oh, how embarrassing that would be!"
Liang Shuo refused to leave, but sent Jiang Ru to accompany Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu didn't care whether she came to monitor or to help, and boarded the luxurious carriage in a familiar manner. Jiang Ru could only endure it no matter how much she didn't like it.
"Don't expect people like you to learn the manners and manners of Mr. Liang." Jiang Ru sneered and said, "I was born in the Liang family of Yongjia. I have been exposed to it since childhood. As soon as I learned to walk and talk, I had to be taught the rules of walking, sitting and lying.
, Only in this way can you develop the magnanimity of a noble prince. This cannot be achieved by just having money and power. The Yongjia Liang family has lasted for hundreds of years, and its rich heritage is far beyond the reach of the upstarts in Huaxu Kingdom today.
"
"Okay, I don't expect to learn anything anymore. This time I will just treat it as a spring outing." Zhao Shu blinked: "The Mu Xue Xue was delicious just now. Can you get me another drink?"
"You—" Jiang Ru was so angry that she crossed her arms and turned her head and said, "No! If you want to drink water, get out and find horse urine!"
"What you said is really vulgar. You only scolded me like this when my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arguing in the market." Zhao Shu was surprised: "Without Mr. Liang watching, your true colors will be revealed soon?"
"It's a waste of effort to speak nicely to someone like you!" Jiang Ru's chest rose and fell, and she found that she could never control her emotions in front of Zhao Mi.
Zhao Shu smiled and shook his head: "It's good to vent a little at ordinary times, otherwise you will be suffocated to death by holding on to airs all day long. Mountain monsters shouldn't have so many restrictions in the first place."
"You are a wild monster!" Jiang Ru retorted loudly: "My ancestors of the Jiang family are from the Celestial Fox clan. When entering and leaving the cave, they must be greeted by immortal officials. They can predict the future and predict the future. Don't talk about a charlatan like you.
Even if the City God sees me, even the Tianhu of the Jiang family will pay homage to me!"
"Wow, that's amazing." Zhao Miao's tone was smooth and he clapped dryly.
When Jiang Ru got angry, she lay down directly on the couch, leaving only the back of her head for Zhao Shu.
"As the saying goes, a good man does not mention his former bravery. A good man is still like this. A declining Tianhu family always brags about its past achievements. Doesn't it just show that it is incompetent now?" Zhao Shu asked.
Jiang Ru did not answer, and Zhao Shu continued: "Senior Sister Xin told me that she figured out that you once used sex to seduce Luo Xixian. As a friend, I don't want you to continue to get close to Luo Xixian."
"Are you jealous?" Jiang Ru suddenly asked.
"Why are you jealous?" Zhao Mo paused: "Well, Luo Xixian, he is indeed a bit wild. In the past, he often used my charms to please the nuns in the hall. I am different from him, not that thick.
It’s just that the war is at a critical juncture right now and Luo Xixian is fighting on the front line, so don’t bother him.”
Zhao Shu said: "I originally thought that a wealthy family would never allow others to touch their female concubines, but I didn't expect that Liang Shuo would treat you like a piece of meat and send you here and there in order to sow discord. In this kind of life that is almost like a prostitute, you also
Can you survive?"
Jiang Ru curled up slightly, and Zhao Shu asked: "Your Jiang family chose to seek refuge with Chongxuan Hall and the Yongjia Liang family. Are you planning to follow the Liang family in the future and go to Qingya Realm to regain the title of Heavenly Fox?"
"This is the only opportunity for our Jiang family." Jiang Ru replied in a low voice: "Nowadays, people who cultivate immortality and become Taoists are becoming more and more rare. Those who have a clear inheritance of the Dharma and are guided by the Cave Heaven Immortal Family can only be found everywhere.
The Liang family in Yongjia."
Zhao Shu promised to Duke Hengbi and swore not to leak the news about the fall of True Lord Qingya and the collapse of most of the Cave Heaven Wonderland, so he did not tell Jiang Ru clearly. In order to seek support when he ascended in the future, Jiang Ru was currently
The humiliation and pain she endured can be imagined. If Jiang Ru was told the truth again, she would probably collapse and go crazy on the spot.
"Interesting." Zhao Shu smiled coldly.
"What's so interesting?" Jiang Ru turned around and asked.
"Suppose the Liang family moves away from home and ascends to the throne in the future, and they still have so many clan members to support, will they really take you with them?" Zhao Shu asked back.
"You don't understand." Jiang Ru said: "Our Jiang family has formed an immortal lock with the Liang family of Yongjia. When the Liang family moves away from their home and ascends to heaven in the future, we will follow them to the Celestial Immortal Palace."
Zhao Shu was confused: "When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven... is such a good thing really possible?"
"Otherwise, why do you think Chongxuan Hall chose Difei Mountain after it left the Imperial Capital?" Jiang Ru explained: "Difei Mountain can be said to be the most blessed place in the southeast of Kunlun Continent. The clear air flows up and down, just like the earth.
Exhale the orifice."
"It sounds nice, but the premise is that you can really ascend." Zhao Shu said.
Jiang Ru didn't understand in her heart that now there are only two pillars of the Liang family in Yongjia. One is Liang Tao, the leader of Chongxuan Pavilion, and the other is the hussar general of Huaxu Kingdom, who guards Liang Bao at Juhongguan, and his subsequent descendants are incompetent.
There are many of them, and even if we can reproduce such magical miracles as uprooting the house and ascending to heaven in the future, I am afraid that we will not take away all the children of the Liang family.
But Jiang Ru still hopes to give it a try. It's hard for others to tell. At least she must keep the eldest son Liang Shuo, and she must try her best to please him in order to secure her future status as an immortal in the cave. At worst, she will slowly enlighten other members of her clan in the future.
"Zhao Fuli, when trying to persuade others, you should think more about your own situation." Jiang Ru quickly regained her composure and couldn't help but laugh: "Master Luo has won many military exploits on the front line, but you have to run around and can only do
Some work of setting up the altar. If this continues, you will really be no different from those charlatans."
"I sincerely hope that the banditry in Xingluo County can be put to an end as soon as possible." Zhao Shu said, "What's more, I proposed the establishment of rituals and rituals to curb the power of the divine sword, so naturally I will do it."
"Li Zhao Fu is so serious." Jiang Ru sighed and didn't want to say more.
