"It moves the sky, turns the stars, and the breeze flows into the earth's veins to help me travel thousands of miles!"
Zhao Miao made a hand gesture together, and the shukuchi magic talisman flew away without holding on, heading towards the ground. A circle of churning Qi appeared on the originally flat and solid ground, like a puddle of mud.
"Sure enough!" Zhao Shu was secretly happy, then he picked up a pile of utensils for arranging the altar ceremony, turned to Jiang Ru and said, "Let's take a step first, just take the people to the foot of Yunyan Peak."
After saying this, Zhao Shu and Lu Wangji stepped into the shrinking circle together. Their bodies disappeared out of thin air in a flash, and the ground returned to normal.
After a period of shaking and squeezing, Zhao Shu and the two of them followed the earth's veins and came directly to Yunyan Peak. They looked up and saw a towering giant peak, towering into the sky. The naked eye could see that the clouds were guided by the towering peaks, rising upwards, and reached the distance.
The condensation dropped, pulled by the Yunyan Peak veins, and then turned and converged again.
In this cycle, the sea of clouds is constantly churning, and the pure air in the sky gradually condenses invisibly, forming a blessed land and a natural barrier.
"It is indeed a blessed land of immortals!" Even the well-informed Zhao Shu couldn't help but admire it when he came to Yunyan Peak.
Lu Wangji asked: "Such a blessed place is actually not occupied by anyone who cultivates immortality?"
"There used to be one. The sect and the mountain had the same name, and they were both called Yunyan Peak." Zhao Shu looked around and found that he was standing on a platform, with a formation pattern paved with jade chips and mica under his feet, which was specially used to guide people to and from Shuodi.
.
"Looking at this withered scene, I think that the lineage of Yunyan Peak has been cut off long ago." Lu Wangji said: "Even if the successors later have shallow cultivation, they should not abandon such a blessed place."
"Yunyan Peak was involved in the war at the end of Tianxia, and all the disciples were lost." Zhao Shu paused after saying this. If the Yunyan Peak lineage was really cut off, how did the teacher and Yang Liujun find this place to cast their swords?
The one who refines the divine sword?
Decades ago, Liang Tao swept through the immortal cultivating sects in Huaxu and occupied all the blessed places. Why did he miss this Yunyan Peak? In terms of meteorological pattern, this Yunyan Peak is no less impressive than Zhifei Mountain.
The only possible explanation is that before the Divine Sword was cast, Yunyan Peak was shrouded and hidden by the formation barrier, and not even Liang Tao discovered this place.
But those who can know the location of Yunyan Peak and can freely enter and exit the formation barrier can only be a disciple of Yunyan Peak.
Zhao Miao pondered for a while, Yang Liujun's cultivation and magic power were very different from other Chiyundu monks. Maybe he had practiced Yunyan Peak's magic formula when he was still a nobleman.
However, Zhao Shu looked around and found that Yunyan Peak was deserted. Liang Tao did not even arrange for the disciples of Chongxuan Hall to stay behind. It is said that at the end of Xingluo County's suppression of bandits, Liang Tao eliminated the remnants of Chiyundu at the foot of the mountain. He should know very well
How could we ignore the unusualness of this place?
With a thought in his mind, Zhao Shu used the Yingxuan Zhao Scenery Technique, and then silently recited the "Nine Heavens Purple Wen Dan Chapter", with the zhenqi knotted seal hovering above it.
After a while, there seemed to be a resonance high in the mountains. It was the Dongtian Yunzhuan cast by Liang Tao, which was faintly connected with the barrier outside the mountain.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Shu secretly said: "Put down the Dongtian Yun Seal and set up a prohibition and surveillance. If someone comes to Yunyan Peak, Liang Tao will be alert immediately. We don't send people to guard, just to see if anyone comes back here, so that we can
Identify the person who forged the divine sword."
Yang Liujun is dead, and Liang Tao's intention for this move is obviously that there is someone else who forged and refined the divine sword. Maybe he has suspected Zhang Duanjing, but he cannot be sure. And judging from the current situation, Zhang Duanjing has never set foot on Yunyan Peak again.
"Could it be that the teacher is the disciple of Yunyan Peak?" Zhao Shu could not conclude for a while that Zhang Duanjing was similar to him, knowledgeable and talented, and versed in various arts. He could not see where the teacher's foundation lay.
However, now that it is known that teacher Zhang Duanjing participated in forging the divine sword, it is not important to Zhao Shu whether he is a member of Yunyan Peak or not.
When Zhao Shu carried a large number of altar utensils into the mountainside of the peak, he saw the vast inner wall of the cave, covered with mottled sword marks, as if a fierce battle had taken place here.
Lu Wangji pressed the strings with his hand and plucked it a few times. The sound of the piano echoed inside the mountain. After a moment, he said: "It seems that someone spread the Qi on the wall and set up a sword Qi formation. But the formation has been broken."
, the sword energy is also dissipated and no longer exists."
Zhao Shu didn't need to think too much, he could conclude that the person who broke the formation was Liang Tao.
"Zhang Duanjing must have anticipated Mr. Yangliu's defeat, so he set up a formation here to test Liang Tao's cultivation power." Lingxiao said suddenly.
Zhao Shu looked at a Kunlun jade pedestal. Unfortunately, it was already full of cracks and there were traces of being burned by the fire, causing the pure energy contained in the Kunlun jade to dissipate.
"This is indeed what the teacher does, and this is what he taught me." Zhao Shu secretly said: "In the face of a strong enemy, instead of fighting head-on, it is better to set up many traps to weaken its strength and test its weaknesses."
Lingxiao said coldly: "But with Liang Tao's cultivation level, it would be ridiculous to want to kill him with ordinary formations."
Zhao Shu suddenly remembered something: "Even living immortals like Liang Tao are so difficult to deal with. How did you get your true form and body destroyed and end up like this?"
"We are both immortals, so we naturally have ways to kill immortals." Lingxiao did not elaborate: "On the other hand, Zhang Duanjing, who has not yet become an immortal, is only a mortal. He actually plans to forge a divine sword and kill the immortals. It is not arrogant."
"The teacher just wants to kill Liang Tao," Zhao Shu said.
"Really? I don't think so." Lingxiao suddenly laughed: "If you just want to deal with Liang Tao, when you tell Liang Tao the consequences he will face when he ascends to the altar, he can stop. I'm afraid his plans are too big and far away.
It’s not just about killing one Liang Tao.”
Zhao Shu was secretly shocked when he heard this: "It's impossible for the teacher to go against the Celestial Family, right?"
"The sword is in the mortal world, so naturally it cannot hurt the immortals." Lingxiao said, "But what if the immortals come down to earth to participate in the world?"
Zhao Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you want to go down to earth when the world is so chaotic now? Isn't it just asking for trouble?"
"Don't forget, Liang Tao's intention to create a Taoist kingdom in the human world is also asking for trouble." Lingxiao said: "Mr. Jingming in Chiyundu, his words also hit some of the mysteries of the immortal family. The higher the achievement of immortality, the easier it is.
I believe that what I have cultivated and understood directly points to the great road, and I feel that only I can guide sentient beings and save ordinary people."
Zhao Shu was puzzled: "Isn't this just a sectarian view? Isn't it possible to dissolve different views and learn from each other's strengths?"
Lingxiao explained: "Mortal people are paranoid, and for the sake of personal gain, or bend their will to protect, or criticize and slander, they are all blind and short-sighted. The immortal family is very different. It is admirable to follow this path to achieve longevity.
To realize the feasible results, the immortal family can inspire all living beings and guide the common people. How can this kind of sect view be comparable to that of ordinary people?"
Zhao Shu nodded silently. The mortal family's goal is to protect interests and embezzle and occupy, while the immortal family opens its doors wide to welcome all living beings. This really cannot be compared.
"So, it's not a bad thing for the Immortal Family to get involved in the mortal world?" Zhao Shu said: "If the Immortal Family can enlighten us, maybe there won't be so much chaos."
"Stupid." Lingxiao retorted directly: "Have you never thought that all the chaos in Kunlun Continent today is caused by the interference of various immortal families in the world? They don't even need to take the initiative to enlighten the disciples in the mortal world.
Disciple, you can incite war.
You may be too close to Liang Tao, but you have never thought about how strongly he appeals to the disciples of Chongxuan Hall and other people who surrender to him just by staying in the world. And how strong a deterrent he will be to those who compete with him.
?”
Zhao Shu pursed his lips and thought deeply. Seeing him like this, Lu Wangji didn't say anything to disturb him. He sat on the floor and played the piano to tune himself.
"You always talked about responsibility in the past, but you didn't understand that not only Liang Tao has to bear a heavy burden, but others also have to face the consequences of his actions." Lingxiao said: "The higher the power, the greater the reputation. In one fell swoop,
The wider the implication of an action, the more important it is to inherit the destiny. Even Liang Tao is like this, if a few more immortals interfere in the world, what do you think will happen to the world?"
Zhao Shu felt cold in his heart, and Lingxiao said: "Some things are difficult to judge by right and wrong. The Immortal family intends to open up their doors and attract the common people. You can't say they did anything wrong. It's just that the entanglements between common interests and interests often make the intention to spread the Dharma worse."
It will become the cause of disaster for the world. However, the Taoist heart of the Immortal family cannot be changed by ordinary people, and it cannot be persuaded."
"So the teacher wants to forge the divine sword to prevent the Immortal Family from interfering in the world?" Zhao Shu asked.
"That's basically it." Lingxiao said.
Zhao Shu felt that he could not understand it thoroughly for a while, so he asked again: "Then you don't object?"
"If you don't keep quiet, go down to the mortal world, be involved in intrigues, and fall into murderous calamities... these are often inseparable." Lingxiao said coldly: "Since you know the root of the disaster, don't interfere with the mortal world from the beginning. Even though Zhang Duanjing has extraordinary wisdom.
, but the long sword is empty and sharp, and cannot hurt the immortal family in the sky."
"Perhaps this is what the teacher is pursuing." Zhao Shu sighed: "The immortal family sits on the top of the clouds and quietly watches the changes in the world of mortals. In this way, the immortals and the mortals live in harmony without harming each other."
"But before that, some immortal family must be killed by the sword to prove the power of the divine sword." Lingxiao said: "Otherwise, it will not be possible to frighten the immortals in the heavens."
"So the teacher has to attack Liang Tao no matter what." Zhao Shui was extremely confused.
When the matter has reached this point, it has nothing to do with personal grudges. Liang Tao wants to create a Taoist kingdom in the human world, and has access to both the immortal and divine realms, to control the power and fortune alone. Zhang Duanjing wants to prevent the immortal family from entering the world and clarify the difference between immortals and mortals. The two are incompatible.
Destined to have only one battle.
But Zhao Shu really didn't want to see this situation. Firstly, he didn't want the teacher to be put in danger. Secondly, it was better to leave Liang Tao's life and death to the fate of heaven and earth, and all sentient beings would decide if Liang Tao could overcome this.
Guan, might as well find a new way.
"Luo Xixian said that you are a weakling, but he is actually right." Lingxiao said: "To this day, you still place your hopes on Liang Tao. Without Liang Tao, you hope that other immortal families can resolve the chaos in the world.
Xiang. If you are always like this, you will not be able to maintain your spiritual and enlightened mind, and it will be difficult for you to become an immortal in the future."
"The Fetal Immortal? It's still far away." Zhao Shu said: "Although the Xuanzhu has entered the Niwan Palace, it still needs to be nourished and strengthened. Then it will gather the divine energy, feed back the body's hundreds of meridians, flow the five internal organs, and gradually refine its shape and change its quality.
Only when the inside and outside are so thorough can we have the opportunity to form a womb-like immortal within."
"What you are talking about is the merit of establishing one's destiny, not the way to fulfill one's nature." Lingxiao said: "If the spirit is not kept, the mind of the way will not be clear. If you encounter thoughts of gains and losses, feelings of opposition, and situations of good and bad, you Can you keep a little bit of your spirit and not be transferred or taken over?"
Zhao Miao did not answer, but Lingxiao said: "You also know that cultivating immortality is achieved by independence, but you don't know where this independence comes from. The so-called selfishness is a little bit of spiritual wisdom hanging in the sky, not relying on it, not relying on it, not stagnation Don't drown. Only in this way can I say that my destiny is my own, and I can do whatever I want without any hindrance.
If you have this state, you will naturally not rely on others to achieve success, even if you are an expert in the immortal family, gods or earthly beings, they will not care about you. Only in this way can you talk about valuing yourself and your selfishness, rather than just thinking about it. Desire leads to misfortune and good fortune.
After you left Dongsheng Capital, you may have looked majestic to others, but you were used by Liang Tao and the king. In fact, there is nothing wrong with just using it, but you should not regard yourself as a pawn and rely on the success or failure of the matter. to others.”
"I didn't depreciate myself." Zhao Shu said.
"Don't rush to answer me. There are some things that you may not be able to understand on your own at the moment." Lingxiao's words made Zhao Shu fall into silence.
…
Xin Taicheng looked at the north in the distance. The energy of heaven and earth was unpredictable to ordinary people, but in his eyes, it unfolded mysteriously.
After calculating for a moment, Xin Taicheng nodded slightly, turned around and walked down the high platform. He saw Madam Zhu Zi waiting for a long time, so he asked: "How is it? To what extent has Zhao Miao arranged the altar?"
Prime Minister Xin Taicheng gave a slight salute and replied: "Just now the clouds in the northern sky were soaring. It should be that the North Pole Pillar of the altar site has been laid. From this point of view, most of the arrangements for the altar site have been completed, and Zhao Shui will turn to the south later."
"Where is the North Pole?" Mrs. Zhuzi asked.
"Yunyan Peak." Xin Taicheng added: "It happens to be the same place where the Chiyun Rebellion originally forged the Divine Sword."
Madam Zhu Zi frowned and said: "How could it be that kind of place? Are your calculations wrong?"
"There should be no deviation. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate on the spot." Xin Taicheng was not angry because of the doubts: "There are some things that I only realized later. If the rebellious party wants to forge that kind of magic sword, it cannot be done in ordinary times." To advance the realm, you must choose the place where the Qi of heaven and earth meet. But... Yunyan Peak has been hidden for a long time, and now the Qi is soaring into the sky, but the official noticed something strange."
"What kind of strangeness?"
"It is rumored that the Yunyan Peak sect has been destroyed long ago and the inheritance has been cut off." Xin Taicheng said: "But just now I saw that there is still a trace of energy left, which means there are still Yunyan Peak disciples in this world."
"This is not surprising." Mrs. Zhu Zi said casually.
"The official is a little puzzled." Xin Taicheng continued: "It is said that Yunyan Peak disappeared, but it reappeared when the rebels rebelled. Could it be that his disciples colluded with the rebels? Moreover, the official discovered that this Yunyan Peak The energy of the Fengmen people is quite strong, and judging from the astrology, there are vague signs of invasion."
"Oh? Who does this Yunyan Peak disciple want to invade?" Madam Zhu Zi asked curiously.
Xin Taicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This... is really difficult for a subordinate. The aura spreads in all directions, as if it is trying to cover up the starlight. From a correspondence point of view, it is impossible to infringe on the immortal truth of the heavens, right?"
After hearing this, Madam Zhu Zi's face turned slightly cold. Xin Taicheng was afraid of saying something wrong, so he bowed and said, "What I just said was just a false assumption by a low-ranking official. Please don't take Madam Zhu Zi seriously."
Madam Zhu Zi returned to her dignified smile: "I don't take it seriously, and I also ask Xin Taicheng not to spread this matter."
