After coming out of the belly of Qishan Mountain, Zhang Yu and Xiang Chun returned to the Affairs Hall together.
Xiang Chun was very polite to him now. After inviting him to sit down, he ordered someone to make a cup of fragrant tea. Then he returned to the main seat and sat down to talk about business.
"Just before this year's scholar's meeting, in order to suppress the Shenwei Army, the newly appointed Yao Gongfu and I discussed countermeasures several times, and finally decided not to attack the Shenwei Army itself first, but to target Chaoming City."
Having said this, he paused and said, "I wonder if Junior Brother Zhang knows about Chaoming City?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I've heard of some."
When he was in the Si Li Yamen Office, Jiang Dingyi had a headache about Chaoming City, because almost all the local officials there were naturalized natives, and the affairs officials sent by the Yamen Office were either sidelined or driven back.
If it were just a town that resisted the capital, the soldiers and horses of the Duhufu could suppress it immediately. But the problem is that Chaoming City has colluded with the Shenwei Army long ago.
The current situation is that this town provides a large amount of property to the Shenwei Army every year, while only paying some symbolic taxes to the capital.
Not only that, it is said that because of the lack of prestige of the Protectorate, some people in the city began to believe in the alien gods unscrupulously. Many alien gods that were originally destroyed in the south have resurrected in this city. After a long time, the people in the city are considered the protectors.
It's hard to tell whether the people of the mansion are still believers of strange gods.
Xiang Chundao: "Since Junior Brother Zhang knows it well, I won't say more. If the Shenwei Army owns Chaoming City, it will have its own financial rights. This is intolerable to the capital, so it is necessary to clean up the situation here."
It must be done, and several of my fellow sects and I also believe that we must never allow the indigenous gods to revive again, and for this reason, the capital decided to fully support our Xuanfu based on the discussion among the scholars."
Speaking of this, he sighed, "Originally everything was going well, but during the scholar's meeting, Yao's husband suddenly fell seriously ill, which caused people to panic. At that time, the Shenwei Army had made trouble several times. In order to temporarily stabilize the Shenwei Army,
, and in order to take care of her husband's palace, Yao Gong's palace gave up the position of director, and Liu Fengquan, who had always been neutral, took over.
After Liu Fengquan came to power, he hesitated about this matter because of his lack of prestige. Firstly, he doubted the ability of Xuanfu, and secondly, he was afraid of angering the Shenwei Army, so he once wanted to withdraw this decision.
Junior brother also knows what happened. In order to strengthen the confidence of the capital, our Xuanfu had to encircle and suppress the alien gods several times. Later, we spared no effort to encircle and suppress the plague gods who had done great harm to the north.
Fortunately, this matter was accomplished with the full help of all my colleagues, and with your intervention, Junior Brother Zhang, it was also because of this that I recently approached Liu Fengquan again, and he finally agreed to continue this strategy."
Zhang Yu knew in his heart that the matter was not that simple, otherwise Xiang Chun would not have needed to come to him to discuss it, and said, "Is there any difficulty here?"
Xiang Chun sighed and said: "Originally, according to the plan between me and Duke Yao's Mansion, he convinced the Governor and borrowed the manpower in the capital to work with my Xuan Mansion to reverse the situation..."
He shook his head, "Actually, manpower is not the most important thing. The main thing is to show that this matter was decided by the capital and my Xuanfu together. Even if the Shenwei Army knew about it, they would not dare to act rashly. At most, they would only make some small moves.
But now, Liu Fengquan has neither the will nor the ability to convince the governor, but..."
He raised his head and looked at Zhang Yu, with a bit of expectation in his eyes.
He also knew about the last ritual dispute. Once Zhang Yu went to the capital, the governor completely gave up on the so-called "new etiquette", which showed that Zhang Yu had influence in front of the governor.
Zhang Yu understood what he meant. He thought for a while and said frankly: "Brother Xiang, although the Governor is young, he still has his own judgment, which cannot be easily influenced by others. Maybe Yao Gongfu can, but Yu has no such
able."
When Xiang Chun heard this, he felt slightly disappointed, but this matter was a rare opportunity to attack the Shenwei Army, and he would not give up. He said: "Since this matter cannot be done, then our Xuanfu can only act alone, but so
First, if things change, the capital will not stand on our side. Everything must be borne by our Xuanfu itself, so in the previous discussions, several junior brothers also opposed this strategy."
He looked at Zhang Yu again, "Junior Brother Zhang, now you understand this matter, but I don't know what your opinion is?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment that he would eventually start a war with the Shenwei Army. The Shenwei Army would not move, but he was not sure yet. Now that he could weaken this generation openly, why not do it?
However, he also knew what Xiang Chun meant. If he agreed, then he would definitely need to be involved in this matter.
This is nothing to him. He must defeat those who try to separate the Protectorate from contacting the mainland. This is in line with his own wishes.
Therefore, he did not hesitate and said directly: "Chaoguang City worships strange gods and excludes the people of Tianxia. I believe that this matter cannot be delayed and must be cleaned up in time!"
Seeing that he agreed, Xiang Chun felt excited and nodded: "Okay, Junior Brother Zhang supports this matter, and I am here to help. Junior Brother Zhang is right, the Ability Gods and their ilk must not be tolerated. I will go back and try to persuade him again."
As soon as there is news about those fellow disciples, I will send someone to inform the junior fellow disciples."
Zhang Yuyan said: "I will practice at my residence these days. If things are settled, Senior Brother Xiang can send someone to look for me at any time."
After the matter was settled, he saw that there was nothing more to do, so he said goodbye, and Xiang Chun personally escorted him to the entrance of the lobby.
After leaving the Xuan Mansion, Zhang Yu returned to his residence, teased Lord Miaodan for a while, washed himself a little, sat down in the quiet room, and then took out the half piece of Xuan Jade.
Qi Ao said that there was a seal inside, and whether he could see it or not was up to him, but he felt it briefly, and found that this thing was not like the jade slips with seals that he had seen before. It was empty of anything.
No.
He had asked Qi Ao before, who was the first Taoist he saw when he first entered the Xuan Mansion Hall that day?
Qi Ao replied that he had seen it just now.
He has indeed seen it.
That Taoist was transformed into the half of the mysterious jade in Xuanshou's hand. Of course, it was not a living person, but just a ray of previous sages who existed in it and used it to enlighten the consciousness of future generations.
In fact, in all the seals he had come into contact with before, the consciousness of his predecessors existed. Every time, he first obtained the correct guidance from these consciousnesses, and then read the contents on the seal.
These consciousnesses act as a guide, equivalent to half of Xuan Xiu's teacher.
When Xuan Xiu is practicing, many people may have doubts at the beginning. Why can they inexplicably learn various skills and abilities when they just invest the divine energy when they read the seals of the Great Dao?
As time goes by, many people take this as a matter of course and no longer have the desire to deliberately inquire about it. Moreover, many metaphysics themselves do not care about this matter. As long as you know that it is possible, why bother to care about why it is possible?
Woolen cloth?
But Zhang Yu is different. He has been born in two generations, and his way of thinking is different from that of ordinary Tianxia people. The most important thing is that he was first exposed to the old cultivation methods.
The old way of practicing Taoism was to ask questions, so he never gave up exploring the reason.
When he was in the Chapter of Yuanming, he only had some vague concepts and conjectures, but after reaching the Chapter of Lingming, as his realm improved and he consciously questioned himself, he gradually saw it more clearly.
The Dao Seal is called the Dao-carrying tool by Xuan Xiu. This is indeed true, because Xuan Xiu’s cultivation relies on the Dao Seal. Even the divine essence can only be guided out by the cultivator after he feels the Dao Seal.
To raise savings.
Shen Yuan is actually divided into "Shen" and "Yuan". The Shen here refers to a little spiritual light that shines through oneself and even all things, while Yuan refers to a person's origin, which is the basis for a person's existence in the world.
With Shen Yuan, you can "exchange" with the Chapter of Dao.
To put it simply, for example, when a practitioner practices a skill, he needs to spend a certain amount of energy and time, and Shenyuan integrates your own energy and time into one place, and does not limit what you learn.
A monk only needs to concentrate on gathering divine energy. When he encounters something that needs to be practiced, he only needs to invest divine energy in the Great Dao Chapter, and then he will get rewards based on the amount of divine energy he invested.
The more Shenyuan you invest, the more energy and time you put into learning a certain skill and ability, and vice versa.
Of course, because everyone has different qualifications and foundations, some people can easily learn things that others may not be able to learn no matter how much effort they put in. Therefore, the consciousness and experience of previous sages often remain in the seals, so that people can learn them easily.
Any younger generation can see and understand that at most it will consume more divine energy.
It is also because of this that the inheritance of the new method is expanding very quickly, because this method does not require traditional teaching from masters and apprentices. You only need to sense the chapter of the great road, and then you can practice it.
Zhang Yu's fingers traced the half of the mysterious jade. Qi Yao said that there was a seal hidden here. He guessed that the reason why he could not sense it was because there was no previous consciousness in it, so it was not like those seals in the past.
Same, communication can be done on a conscious level.
He thought for a moment, and if that was the case, he might as well try another method. He called out the Great Dao Hun Seal in his heart, and when he turned his eyes, he landed on one of the seals.
