Chapter 73 Planting Immortal Grass in Mysterious Garden
Returning to his room, Zhao Shu took out the Xuanpu jade album. He had just been busy talking with Anyang Marquis and had no time to read it. Now that he was free, Zhao Shu couldn't wait to unfold the jade album.
This Xuanpu jade album is not an ordinary book, it is a magic weapon in itself. Once the jade album is unfolded, a glow of light and auspicious energy surges out and fills the room. Numerous ancient seal scripts of various shapes fly from the surface of the jade album.
It comes out, moves up and down, and shines brightly in the room, far better than a candle.
"This is... spiritual text?" Zhao Shu was amazed, raised his hand to fiddle with it, and the luminous seal characters escaped Zhao Shu's fingertips like a swimming fish.
"Interesting." The Lingxiao suddenly appeared, flying among the glowing seal characters. After observing it for a moment, she said: "You draw out a stream of true energy."
Zhao Shu didn't dare to refute, he concentrated on regulating his breathing, and blew out a wisp of true energy. The Lingxiao raised his hand to hold it, and the sleeves of his wide skirt flicked at will. The true energy was like silk, connecting all the luminous seal characters.
Then, as if receiving orders, the seal characters are connected one after another, and the spirit and spirit are closely connected, just like tenon and tenon nesting.
In the end, the brilliance converged and gathered on the palm of the Lingxiao, forming an island with mountains and mausoleums towering on it, and palaces and pavilions scattered among them, which was exquisite and delicate.
Zhao Miao was confused: "What is this? It looks like an overseas fairyland."
Lingxiao replied: "This is Xuanpu Cave Heaven."
"Xuanpu Cave Heaven?" Zhao Shu thought in his mind: "It is said that my mother left in order to revive the sect. If this Xuanpu Jade Book is directly related to the Xianjia Cave Heaven, it can indeed be regarded as the foundation of the sect's inheritance."
Throughout the ages, people who have cultivated immortality are like crucian carp crossing a river, and famous sects have emerged one after another, but there are not many that can truly be regarded as the inheritance of immortal families.
For example, Chongxuan Pavilion, even though the world has mixed opinions about it, the "Nine Heavens Feixuan Purple Qi Zhenwen Baolu" is indeed a wonderful method that directly points to the immortal way. Liang Tao's cultivation is so advanced that the Liang family's descendants can also summon the immortal family's magic urn generals.
The inheritance is true. Even if Zhao Shu knew that Qingya Fairyland had collapsed, he could not refute that Chongxuan Pavilion had indeed received the inheritance from the Immortal Family.
As for Chiyundu, the predecessor of the Chiyun Mountain sect practiced the magic of the Immortal Family, but it is impossible to know whether the Immortal Family really taught the magic to the lower realms, or whether it was fabricated by later generations.
It can be seen from this that the so-called inheritance of the Immortal Family still depends on whether future generations can carry it forward. If you can't even preserve and defend what the predecessors left, it will be useless to boast about the inheritance of the Immortal Family.
Although Zhao Shu was amazed by the magic of the Xuanpu Jade Book, what would his mother do if she found this thing? The sect's dojo was still occupied by the Chongxuan Pavilion. How could the revitalization of the sect be accomplished with just one scroll of immortality?
Can the Dharma Jade Book solve the problem?
"You seem to know this Xuanpu Cave?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Xuan Pu is the garden of the Emperor of Heaven. Immortal grass is planted in it. Mortals who eat it can turn their mortal bodies into immortals and become immortals in the daytime." Ling Xiao said.
Zhao Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really or not? After eating it, you will directly ascend to immortality?"
Lingxiao glanced at Zhao Mi: "Have you forgotten the lesson of Hengbi so quickly? A person who becomes an immortal after being inspired by enlightenment is, at best, an immortal official who has been awarded the title of Dharma. He must be bound by many rules and regulations.
Although you may live forever, you will not be free."
Zhao Shu said: "That's what I say, but after all, it means ascending to immortality. Even if you serve as an immortal official and general in the cave, it is an opportunity that many monks can't look forward to!"
Lingxiao said coldly: "Do you think anyone is qualified to serve as an immortal official? The gift of immortal grass carries a heavy burden. If the recipient does not have a sincere heart, the immortal grass will be a drama that melts flesh and blood during the journey of the road.
poison."
"Okay, I was just imagining it."
Lingxiao looked at the light and shadow on his palm: "This Xuanpu jade book not only contains the cultivation techniques, but also includes many methods of planting and cultivating the mushrooms in the world, as well as repairing the blessed land, arranging the medicine garden, and installing the alchemy cauldron. The description is quite considerable.
complete."
"How could the Zheng family be deceived by Marquis Anyang with a few volumes of superficial magic formulas for such a good thing?" Zhao Shu was puzzled.
Lingxiao said: "I just lent you a ray of true energy to break the restriction. If not, there would be no way to spy on the magic of the jade book."
"Zheng's inability to break the restriction doesn't mean that I can too. Mother couldn't have expected you to help me." Zhao Shu then figured it out: "But... if the teacher takes action, maybe it can be done."
"The Jade Book of Techniques is of little help to you." Lingxiao raised his hand and turned his palm, turning the scene of the cave sky into a talisman and directly hitting it between Zhao Miao's eyebrows: "Now that you have begun to practice, there is no need to find another way.
For the number of steps, you can just refer to them in detail. As for the other contents in the jade book, I don’t need to teach them separately."
Zhao Shu only felt that countless words and graphics flashed across his field of vision, and poured into his mind one after another. Fortunately, Zhao Shu was now more diligent in observing the Nine Palaces, and his brain palace was getting deeper, so that he would not be shocked by the Jade Book of Laws and Techniques.
"Could this be the way Xuanpu Hall teaches immortality?" Zhao Shu asked, rubbing his eyebrows lightly.
Lingxiao said: "Not everyone can lift the ban on the jade book."
Zhao Shu thought about it: "That's right. Just copy down the Immortal Sutra and the magic formula directly. Why bother? The Xuanpu Jade Book is about inheritance and cannot be easily shown to others. Moreover, it seems to talk about how to repair the blessed land.
Arranging mountain guarding formations, these things should not be practiced by all disciples."
Zhao Shu sat on the couch and tapped the jade album with his fingers. He thought that the destruction of Xuanpu Hall was somewhat related to Chongxuan Hall. As a disciple of Xuanput Hall, his mother probably had a grudge against Chongxuan Hall. Anyang Marquis
The design to exchange for the jade book should be part of the mother's intention to revive the sect.
After thinking about it, it is no wonder that the teacher has not allowed me to transfer to Chongxuan Hall.
"Mother left the jade book to me. Could it be that she hoped that I would revive Xuanpu Hall?" Zhao Shu was puzzled.
Lingxiao just said: "Your current level is not enough to establish a sect. I advise you not to have too many delusions."
"Of course I understand!" Zhao Shu rolled up the jade book and touched it gently: "I just feel that I owe my mother a lot. I was too naive before, and because of the resentment in my heart, I always felt that my mother had abandoned me.
Thinking about it now, she is weak, but she has to shoulder the heavy burden of the sect's inheritance. How many hardships and hardships have no one told her? Obviously at this time, my son should do everything possible to help her. "
Lingxiao was silent for a moment: "Actually, I don't think your mother left home and remarried because she wanted to revive the sect."
"What do you mean by this?" Zhao Shu was confused.
Lingxiao said: "The so-called sect, in the final analysis, is just to guide ordinary people to understand the immortal method. Cultivation of immortality and learning the Tao depends on people, not on the sect or the guild. If we talk about the abundance of materials and uses, I am afraid that the Huaxu Guo guild is...
Far above the sect."
Zhao Shu nodded: "In the past, many immortal cultivating sects were just a name for themselves. They were just a bunch of people, mostly wild magicians. There were only a few who were really capable and accomplished. Even if we don't mention the Chongxuan Pavilion, the Huaiying Pavilion alone is more powerful than most other sects.
Most of the old sects will prosper."
"In this case, your mother is probably out of revenge." Lingxiao said, "I remember that your father also died under the Chongxuan Pavilion spell?"
"My father was trying to act as a suspect to lure the enemy. Unfortunately, he was killed in the flood." Zhao Shu lost his confidence when he said this. However, in his impression, his mother had always been weak in temperament and did not seem like someone who was determined to take revenge.
.
"Forget it, if you can borrow the hands of Marquis Anyang to retrieve the True Essence Lock, don't think too much about it." Lingxiao's figure disappeared, and the lingering voice lingered: "If you want to take revenge, you must also consider your own abilities."
"Yes, I remember." Zhao Shu held Yuzhi tightly in his arms, fell on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.
…
A few days later, Marquis Anyang took Zhao Shu to a palace that was still being expanded. If nothing unexpected happened, this place would be the future government office of the Jinding Division.
Sacrificing magical objects and refining elixirs are different from forging weapons and armor. Mixed qi will lead to half the result with twice the result. As for how to arrange the houses and pavilions, lighting and gas collection, and many other matters, you must ask knowledgeable people to come and give advice.
Zhao Shu is naturally one of them.
And Zhao Shui also saw how talented Dongsheng was. When he followed Anyang Hou, several magicians who were proficient in Kanyu's house argued loudly, from laying the foundation of the courtyard to the materials used for the house, from the mandala
Everyone had their own opinions on everything, from high to low, including the location of the evil spirits. Even whether the charm to guard the door of Anzhai was buried under the threshold or posted on the lintel, two groups were divided into two groups. Several elderly people were so quarrelsome that they almost started to fight.
"Gentlemen, please wait a moment."
Anyang Hou quickly stepped forward to stop everyone from arguing. These Kanyu magicians looked quite young, but they respected Anyang Hou and bowed to him one after another.
"This young man's name is Zhao Shu, and he is here to assist Jin Dingsi in setting up various matters." Anyang Hou introduced him to everyone.
Zhao Miao stepped forward to salute. The Kanyu warlocks saw the red and white ribbon around his waist. They said nothing but had a strange expression on their faces.
Marquis Anyang was so smart that he certainly understood what these people were thinking, so he said: "Zhao Shu is the first disciple of Huaiying Hall Zhang. I think a few of you have heard that the main job of Jinding Division is to make talismans and weapons for the imperial court.
This matter depends on Zhao Shu, who is very innovative at a young age. I hope these gentlemen will take more care of him."
"Your Majesty has your destiny, and we dare not disobey it." Warlock Kanyu cupped his hands and said, "But in the past, we were surveying the mountains and looking for auspicious soil for the nobles in the capital, and we didn't know much about things like making ritual objects.
I'm worried that it will ruin the Marquis's important affairs."
Anyang Hou said with a smile: "Why do you gentlemen have to be so modest? When the palace city of Dongsheng was built, several gentlemen also relied on the arrangement of the layout and the calculation of their qi to create a Huanghuang Palace protected by hundreds of gods and invulnerable to evil spirits, and a government office courtyard.
, where will it trouble you?"
Hearing this compliment, these Kanyu warlocks were quite impressed. They twirled their beards and smiled, and then looked at Zhao Shu: "We who study the art of Kanyu know nothing about fighting and killing. We are nothing more than laying a trap to hide the wind and gather energy."
The pattern is used to nourish the body and spirit, and the important thing is to stabilize the yin and yang. I wonder what your requirements are for sacrificing talismans, weapons, and magical objects?"
This does not sound like a question, but more like an elder's test. If Zhao Shu cannot tell some profound knowledge, he will probably be despised by these old gentlemen and be regarded as a layman who can be deceived at will.
Reluctant to show his true abilities.
Zhao Shu did not answer immediately, but went to the courtyard, measured the distance with his steps, then raised his eyes to the sky, and muttered calculations based on the length of the sun's shadow.
"The altar is placed in the northwest, and the foundation needs to be raised three inches. The pure land from Shanyang is taken and steamed before the altar can be built." Zhao Shu said as he walked: "In addition, there are two doors in the south, which serve as the entrance and exit doors for water and fire.
This adjusts the changes in Qi of the entire Jinding Division."
A Kanyu warlock frowned and said, "If this happens, I'm afraid no one will be able to live in the Jinding Division."
Zhao Shu simply said: "Jindingsi cannot be regarded as a residence. The daily life of ordinary people produces mixed residual qi, which accumulates into turbidity over time. But opening an altar to practice Dharma and offering sacrifices to Dharma objects is the most important thing for purity. I would say that the walls of the courtyard are still
Not high enough, not thick enough.”
"In this case, it is not a government office, but a fortress wall." Another Kanyu magician looked at Anyang Hou: "I am afraid that it will violate the rules and regulations and cause trouble."
"I will personally explain this matter to the leader of the country." Anyang Hou turned to Zhao Shu and said, "Do you think there is anything else that needs to be prepared?"
"That's about it. It's a great blessing that this junior's meager knowledge can gain the discernment of all the seniors." Zhao Shu nodded and handed over his hand.
Marquis Anyang smiled and said nothing, and several Kanyu magicians nodded, glanced at Zhao Shugao, and said: "As expected of Zhang Shozuo's student, at such a young age, he has such insights in Kanyu magic, which is very rare.
"
"That being the case, I would like to ask you gentlemen to be more attentive."
After Anyang Hou said goodbye to Warlock Kanyu, he took Zhao Shu and left Jindingsi. He said with great satisfaction: "I originally thought that you, my nephew, would not be able to cope with these old men."
"Actually, I am learning now and selling it now, and I just choose the rituals that I know the most about to decorate. I dare not say more about the specific layout of the house." Zhao Shu asked: "Who are they? Even Uncle Shi, you should pay such attention to it."
.”
Marquis Anyang replied: "They were Kanyu masters of the Tianxia Dynasty. They followed Chongxuan Guan to Dongsheng Capital, and inherited their own lineage. However, they were unwilling to join the Chongxuan Guan, so they were actively attracted by their ancestors. Without Chongxuan Guan, they were actively attracted by the ancestors.
The palace was built with the participation of Xuan Guan."
Zhao Shu nodded secretly, Chongxuan Guan was a tree with deep roots, and the Huaxu Kingdom's previous lords had to both win over and guard against it. In order to be able to check and balance Chongxuan Guan, the Huaxu Kingdom's lords must cultivate and appoint other talents.
As for letting this group of Kanyu masters preside over the construction of the palace, it is obviously to guard against Chongxuan Pavilion. If the survival and safety of the king of a country is in the hands of Chongxuan Pavilion, then who will be the leader of the country, I am afraid it is Liang Tao.
One sentence.
In Zhao Shui's view, although the state master Liang Tao's cultivation was superb, he was far from being able to completely control the government and be in charge of state affairs.
No matter what, the magical method of the Immortal Family is not omnipotent. Military and political affairs, national economy and people's livelihood, and so many government responsibilities in the government and the public cannot be initiated by Liang Guoshi alone. Someone needs to participate to operate effectively. And there are often many articles in it, just
Killing alone is not enough to get everything done.
As for the Immortal Xue Yin of Chongxuan Pavilion, a descendant of the aristocratic family, Zhao Shui has seen this group of people before. They are very good at pretending to be pragmatic and Mu Xuan. If they are really asked to work, they will probably mess things up.
From this point of view, Liang Tao is indeed the pillar of Chongxuan Hall, but the entire Chongxuan Hall has become a drag on Liang Tao.
Zhao Shu couldn't help but think that with Liang Tao's level of cultivation, if he could let go of the burdens of his family and business, he would have become an immortal and be free and happy long ago. Now, wouldn't he be suffering and burdened in the world?
