It was refreshing to speak boldly, but once the energy wore off, Zhao Shu still secretly regretted it and said to Lingxiao in his heart:
"Sorry, I seem to have messed up again."
Lingxiao's tone was cold, but not harsh: "This is your own choice, I can afford to wait."
However, the great opportunity to go to Chongxuan Hall was wasted, and only Zhao Shu himself knew how he felt.
When Zhao Shui returned to the small courtyard in the east of the city, before he entered the door, a short-brown and healthy servant came up to him: "Official Zhao Fu, Mr. Fang has invited me. I hope you can come over and talk to me."
Zhao Shu was suspicious, but did not refuse: "Lead the way."
The banditry in Xingluo County has been eliminated. Except for Zhao Shu, I am afraid that no one can reveal that Mr. Fang was once an internal agent of Chiyun City. However, he probably did not expect that the banditry would eventually end in this way.
"Zhao Fu, I haven't seen you for a while." Mr. Fang said with his hands in the courtyard, and then led Zhao Shu into the backyard.
"Is something wrong, Mr. Fang?" Zhao Shu looked around, secretly on guard.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao Fu, there are no assassins here." Mr. Fang said with a smile.
Zhao Miao's expression was cold: "Now that the banditry has been eliminated, Mr. Fang can live and work in peace and contentment. Don't do such treacherous things anymore."
"It's all thanks to Zhao Fu that I can keep my family business." Mr. Fang said, "I just didn't expect that Liang Guoshi would come to Xingluo County in person... I wonder what Zhao Fu's plans are for the future?"
Zhao Shu was inexplicably unhappy and said with a straight face: "I have my own opinion, so I don't have to worry about it too much."
Mr. Fang asked: "Does Zhao Fu plan to stay in Xingluo County? I thought you were working hard just to gain a foothold in Xingluo County. In the future, I may have to rely on Zhao Fu more."
Zhao Shu originally thought so too, but after experiencing this bandit suppression, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he said: "Master Fang thinks too much. I am just a talisman. This bandit suppression can be a complete victory.
General Lai Wei is like a god with his troops, and Liang Guoshi is supremely powerful. I am just here to make up for it, and it is not worth relying on."
"With these words, Zhao Fuli underestimated himself too much." Mr. Fang clapped softly, and an old servant walked out with a wooden box in his hands and opened the lid. Inside was the golden Tianxia gold cake.
"Small etiquette is not enough to show respect." Mr. Fang said: "Zhao Fu is extremely intelligent. Some things have happened outside this hospital, which is not enough for outsiders."
When Zhao Shu saw this pile of gold cakes, he was a little dazzled. He was not deceived by the wealth, but suddenly remembered the experience of Chengyang County. In the end, the county magistrate also introduced a pile of silver cakes.
"Master Fang doesn't have to be like this." Zhao Shu said: "I didn't blackmail you last time, let alone now?"
"It's more than that." Mr. Fang's smile was profound: "Last night, I got a dream from the City God Hengbi Gong, asking me to abide by the laws and regulations in the future and not to associate with the gangsters and bandits again. If I can use my family wealth to benefit one party, I can have a safe future.
Wealth. In addition, the City God asked me to remember the kindness of Zhao Fu, so I gave you this gift."
Zhao Shu was stunned, thinking that Mr. Hengbi was borrowing money from Master Fang to give him money, so he closed the wooden box and said, "Then I'll accept it...but I have something else to ask."
"Official Zhao Fu, please speak."
"Does Mr. Fang know the true identity of Mr. Yangliu?" Zhao Shu recalled the previous battle in Yougu. Mr. Yangliu seemed to have a deep hatred for Liang Tao in his words. So much so that despite Liang Tao's obvious plan of setting up an ambush and killing him, Mr. Yangliu still chose to do it.
Taking the initiative to show up, this is not very similar to him who was quite resourceful before.
Mr. Fang's expression became serious: "Yangliu Jun is hiding his face, I am not sure. But from now on, I speculate that he may be a general who has experienced the Five Kingdoms War."
…
Zhao Shu didn't get any more information from Mr. Fang. He returned to the small courtyard in the east of the city. As soon as he put down a heavy box of gold cakes, the talisman in his arms trembled slightly when he heard the voice of Lord Hengbi: "I I couldn't find a suitable gift for my little friend for a while, so I had to use these worldly yellow and white things."
"Let God worry about it." Zhao Shu said with a helpless smile.
"The Fang family has colluded with the party. Although I have temporarily covered it up, I still have to test them more." Hengbi Gong said: "If you don't talk about other things, I will come to the City God's Temple."
Zhao Shu took advantage of the darkness to go to the City God's Temple. The county government had not yet arranged a formal temple ceremony, so Zhao Shu prepared the incense on his behalf. There should have been government officials guarding the temple gate, but he didn't know where to go to laze at this moment.
In the City God's Temple, Lord Hengbi showed his true form early. Zhao Shu asked: "Not only is it such an important matter, why should the gods be so solemn?"
"Tie Gong is about to ascend." Hengbi Gong said: "Since I have inherited the position of the earth warrior and guarded one side, I should send you off in person. And my little friend has been a matchmaker, so I should be a witness."
Zhao Shu was very shocked: "Then, how are we going to go?"
Lord Hengbi raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Since I have obtained the contract to survey the mountains and rivers, I can naturally take you back and forth. This is the first time I have brought a living person with me, so the techniques will inevitably be rough. Please be careful, little friend. Seven orifices, spirit and vitality."
"I understand." Zhao Shu closed his eyes tightly, concentrating his energy. Suddenly, he felt a huge pressure coming from all directions, penetrating into his skin and flesh, making his internal organs aching, and the energy of his hundreds of meridians began to flow around involuntarily.
Zhao Shu suddenly understood that the method of shrinking the earth's veins and escaping requires not only identifying the time and place, but also having sufficient cultivation. Otherwise, if the mortal body enters and exits the earth's veins, the internal organs may be shaken, and it will be difficult to escape to other places alive. becomes a problem.
Fortunately, this process only lasted for three to five breaths, and then a fresh fragrance of grass and trees spread to the nose. Even if you close your eyes, you can feel the fresh air from the outside world filling up, and the acupuncture points all over your body naturally relax.
"We're here." Hengbi Gong patted his shoulder and said.
Zhao Shu opened his eyes and found that he was standing on the mountainside, surrounded by ancient trees and vines. There was light from the sky in the night, as if a goddess was hanging her silk ribbon and aiming at a high hill in the distance.
"Look carefully." Lingxiao's voice sounded in his mind: "This is the true master of the Xu Palace who has attained the immortal way and ascended to the cave sky."
Zhao Shu hurriedly used Yingxuan's illumination technique. There was no need to look far into the distance. The light in front of his eyes was pure and unmixed. From a star in the sky, majestic fresh air poured down and gradually condensed on the top of the hill. It is a solid platform with a whole body like jade.
It is rumored that Kunlun Jade was formed by the downflow of pure air from the sky. In the past, Zhao Shui only regarded this as a fairy tale, which was not credible. However, after witnessing it with his own eyes today, he realized that what his predecessors said was true. This platform is a A whole piece of Kunlun jade!
Suddenly the earth trembled slightly, and Zhao Shu felt that the ground beneath his feet was undulating like waves. Such a violent movement did not make Zhao Shu feel afraid at all. Instead, his mind felt peaceful and comfortable, and he unconsciously followed the waves, taking advantage of the tides between heaven and earth. The vast and clear Qi that surges naturally cultivates the true Qi of hundreds of meridians.
On the side, Hengbi Gong looked at Zhao Mi's change of attitude, his face with wide eyes showed a bit of relief, and he nodded without saying a word.
During the turmoil on the earth, the surrounding mountains seemed to be paying homage. Thousand-year-old trees were lying dormant, vines were climbing with the wind, and even countless birds and beasts in the mountains appeared one after another. They were not frightened, but moved toward the sapphire pedestal.
In the direction, some people bowed to the ground and worshiped, or they cried in harmony, and for a while they turned into a piece of praise. It seemed noisy and chaotic, but it had a unique charm.
Such aura of ritual music reached Zhao Shu's ears, making him feel very moved. In the Mingtang Palace in his mind, the red light of the jade mirror illuminated the gate of the bridal chamber deeper in the palace; the clear sound of the jade bell resounded, and the palace gate
After hearing the news, I opened my eyes and my soul went straight in without any hindrance.
At the same time, the true energy in Zhao Miao's body circulated through hundreds of meridians throughout the world, and finally converged with Guanyuan, vaguely condensing into a shimmering light, which was the Xuanzhu that was beginning to take shape.
The whole process was completed in one go, without any sloppiness. As Zhao Shu sighed, his mind seemed to be no longer bound by the body. Looking around the surrounding world, mountains and rivers, he saw an illusory figure abandoning the heavy iron and stone, like taking off the shackles, stepping forward step by step.
As he climbed onto the sapphire pedestal, his figure gradually solidified, revealing a man with a dignified face and a dignified bearing, wearing ocher robes and holding an iron slip in his hand.
This man was transformed by Tie Gong. To be more precise, he shed his iron and stone spirit monster body and became a true body condensed by the influence and enlightenment of the fairy spirit.
Tiegong nodded slightly in the direction of Zhao Shu, and then said to Lord Hengbi: "Every soul in the mountains and rivers of Xingluo County depends on you."
Hengbi Gong bowed his hands deeply, and then saw Tiegong waving his hands and raising his sleeves. The mountains and clouds were summoned at the same time, turning into a majestic hillock, green rocks and green rocks, forming a magnificent scene of mountains beyond the mountains. It was indescribably wonderful.
No fairy generals greeted him, nor did he see the flying maiden scattering flowers and playing music. Tiegong was slowly lifted up by the scene of mountains, and the fresh air that was originally flowing down rolled back and slowly rose up with the vision of the mountains.
It rose so fast that in a few breaths, only a small dot remained, and finally fell into the stars of the night, turning into a star that had never been seen before, with a faint light, accompanying a bright star.
In the shape of a guard.
Looking up at the sky, the stars were bright for a while, but soon darkened again, turning into an ordinary night starry sky, far away and difficult to reach.
Looking back at the earth, the undulating hills and mountains have returned to their original state, the birds have returned to their nests, the beasts are lurking, the trees are silent, and the vines are swaying gently. The majestic fresh air that was just rippling between the heaven and the earth converges between the peaks and mountains, and all directions are cleared for a while, and the mountains swallow smoke.
Only a sapphire pedestal was left, which was placed on a high hill.
Duke Hengbi waved his hand and took Zhao Shu to fly to the edge of the pedestal. He said: "Gong Tie is really thoughtful. He left me such a military general platform. It is made of Kunlun jade and connects the mountains and rivers. Not only can it
By sending out the soldiers and horses under my command, I can also attract a bunch of fairies and ghosts, so that I can control the mountains and rivers."
"Xiao Zhao, I would like to congratulate God first." Zhao Miao bowed and bowed, looking at such a piece of Kunlun jade with admiration.
"My little friend, why are you like this?" Hengbi Gong smiled and said, "I just saw you advance in cultivation. This is also the opportunity that Tie Gong left for you. Not everyone is qualified to observe and observe such things as ascending to the real level.
"
There have been many legends about ascending to immortality throughout the ages, but the vast majority of cultivators have very few witnesses, let alone experiences. This time Zhao Shu not only opened his eyes, but also made a breakthrough in his cultivation realm. It can be said that
It's a series of surprises.
However, this is also because Zhao Shu has worked hard in Xingluo County for half a year, and now he has accumulated a lot of achievements. Only in this way can he seize the opportunity of the Xian family and enter the country in one fell swoop.
"I just don't know what Tiegong will be like after he ascends?" Zhao Shu looked up to the sky and said, "He seems to have been guided by a certain immortal family in the upper realm, and he ascended together with the Mountain Void Palace."
"Tie Gong has a chance. If he doesn't tell me, it won't be convenient for us to ask more questions." Hengbi Gong said.
"I remember that God once said that Qingya Fairyland was invaded by evil gods from outside. I wonder what the situation is like in other fairy caves?" Zhao Shu asked again.
Duke Hengbi shook his head and said, "It's hard for me to speculate. The origin of the evil god outside the world is unknown. Even the immortal families like Zhenjun suffered defeats, which shows that their evil power is strong. However, Qingya Zhenjun also has close friends with immortals. I expect the news to spread widely."
The heavens and immortals each have their own ways to deal with it, so little friends, don’t worry too much.”
Zhao Shu nodded. He looked to the side and found a pile of discarded iron stones under the high hill: "These...could they be the remains of Lord Tie?"
The matter of ascension to immortality is very mysterious, and Zhao Shu dare not lie. However, he can see that most of these abandoned iron stones that belonged to Tiegong's original body have extraordinary charm and have been tempered for many years. The naturally formed curved lines on them are more like
It's the seal script of talismans.
"This is the book from the ground." Lingxiao reminded secretly.
Zhao Shu almost couldn't help but exclaimed: "The book from the ground? The one with the dragon seal and the phoenix seal?"
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the "eight bodies" of talismans and seal scripts. Among them, the heavenly script is invisible and silent, and contains innate wonders that cannot be guessed by mortal monks, and can only be understood by Taoist immortals.
The Divine Book has the name of Yunzhuan, which is the principle of creation that has been transferred to the acquired environment. There are laws and nature, like the power of heaven and earth. The seal characters of today's talismans are mostly translated and copied from the Yunzhuan scriptures of the Divine Book. It is even more
Wait and wait.
Under the divine book, there is the earth book, which is based on the image of dragon and phoenix; under the earth book, there are the inner book and the outer book, which are respectively vomited by spiritual birds and auspicious animals, and produced by scales and feathers. These three are all made from the aura of worldly objects.
Futu and seal characters. The "Shenhu Hidden Script" created by Lingxiao is based on the true shape and charm of Bai Egong. It can be said that it is transferred from the outer book to the inner book. With Zhao Shu's current cultivation level, he can only understand a little bit.
Great benefit.
But what the Book of the Earth said is beyond the level that Zhao Shu can comprehend today.
"The so-called image of dragon and phoenix is not an actual reference, but the wonder of the evolution of things in the world." Lingxiao explained: "Tie Gong used the essence of iron and stone to realize the immortal way, and the wonder of life and death was transformed from gold and iron blocks, which is left in the world.
The relics contain the talisman seals themselves, as if they were made in heaven. Even if Tie Gong did not do it deliberately, everyone in the talisman arts can see it and translate it."
On the side, Lord Hengbi looked at them for a long time and said in deep thought: "These iron stones can be regarded as unique treasures of heaven and earth. Lord Iron didn't say what to do with them before he ascended, so he probably left them to us to use."
Zhao Mo was stunned: "Is it really possible?"
Mr. Hengbi laughed loudly: "Tie Gong is not that kind of solitary and stingy person. Since he has attained the immortality, why should he care about this earthly legacy? Since Mr. Tie asked you to come and witness, it means that you also have a share in these iron stones."
Zhao Shui was indeed very interested. He looked left and right, peeled off some crispy stone shells, and finally sorted out thirty-nine spiritual irons of different shapes. The smallest one was smaller than a fist, and the largest one was smaller than a fist.
Waist high.
Moreover, this Lingwen Divine Iron was extremely heavy, heavier than gold of the same size, and Zhao Shui didn't know what to do with it.
