While the debate was going on in the newspapers, Xuanfu did not pay attention to these disturbances, but once again began to take action.
This time, they are preparing to go to Xiaoshan Town to exterminate the indigenous tribes that are suspected to be the remnants of the Yidi people lurking underground.
Xiang Chun and others also attached great importance to this matter.
The New Year is coming soon, and he doesn't want anything to happen in the Protector's Mansion during this period, which will ruin the reputation that Xuan Mansion has worked hard to build over the past year.
For this reason, he specially called Dou Chang back from Chaoming City to take charge of this matter.
At this moment, in the open space in front of the palace, Dou Chang was selecting candidates for this trip to Xiaoshan Town.
He first named a few people he was familiar with, then walked up to a young Xuanxiu, looked at him up and down, and said with a smile, "Are you Junior Brother Bai?"
Bai Qingqing clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Yes, I have met Senior Brother Dou."
Dou Chang glanced at him a few more times, then suddenly raised his fist and struck Bai Qingqing. The latter was startled and when he stepped back, a thin and restrained light suddenly shone on his body.
Dou Chang's fist stopped when it was still a hair away from that layer of light. He nodded and said, "The reaction is good."
He retracted his fist, stood up, and asked: "Junior Brother Bai, when did you cultivate the light of the heart?"
Bai Qingqing calmed down and replied: "Last month."
More than half a year has passed since he received the teaching from Fan Lan, but he has not been able to successfully cultivate the light of the heart before.
He was still suspicious at one time, fearing that he could not find the seal because of taking the secret medicine, but after he came back from the underground last time, he suddenly found the light of the heart, and he didn't even know what happened.
But this is a good thing after all, it means that more than half of the road to Chapter 2 has been opened to him.
He believed that the underground cave where the natives lived was his blessed place, so when Xuanfu was about to send people there again this time, he also took the initiative to ask to go there.
Dou Chang said: "I heard that you entered the mansion together with Junior Brother He Zhang?"
Bai Qingqing lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Dou Chang praised: "It's really good. There are very few talented people in Xuanfu. The fact that you can cultivate Xinguang in one year is even less. This shows that you are not only talented but also have perseverance."
Usually talented people find their inner light either in the first few months, or after a few years or more than ten years. This is because after the initial failure, monks will go through the process of doubting themselves, examining themselves, and returning to themselves.
The process is extremely rare for people like Bai Qingqing who cannot find it at the beginning but succeed within one year.
This shows that the person is holding back his breath, holding back his upward breath.
Dou Chang appreciated this very much. In his opinion, there is no difference between cultivating Taoism and being a human being. People live to fight for breath. If this breath is released, people are finished. But as long as this breath is still there, there is still hope.
Bai Qingqing could see the kindness and praise expressed by Dou Chang to him, and felt that his efforts had been rewarded. He felt excited and said, "Senior Brother Dou, Qingqing will work harder."
Dou Chang patted him on the shoulder and said: "Junior brother Zhang told me that you are a talented person and have great talents in sensing. You want me to take care of you. Don't worry, follow me closely this time. When
It’s nothing.”
Bai Qingqing's face froze, and after a moment he squeezed out one word, "Yes..."
In the palace hall, Xiang Chun stood behind the window gallery. He looked at Dou Chang selecting people there with a very serious look on his face.
Xu Ying came over and said: "Brother, don't worry. We have visited the underground tribe twice before and found no signs of the supernatural gods. This time, senior brother Dou is leading it, and two junior brothers Qi and Hu are on hand to support them."
, absolutely nothing will happen.”
Xiang Chun shook his head and said: "What I'm worried about is not Junior Brother Dou. The New Year is coming soon, and in one month it will be the Scholars' Conference. There are really too many places that need to be taken care of. There is a shortage of manpower everywhere now. I can only do my best to maintain it, but I
It is expected that the Shenwei Army has suffered several losses in the past and will not let us go through so peacefully. They will definitely take action."
At this moment, he felt very uneasy. Just last month, Dou Chang, with the help of the chieftain of the Golden Finger Tribe, finally found the resting place of the God of Chaos in the mountains.
God, then the situation in the southwest will be completely stable.
But when we got there, we discovered that this strange god was no longer in his original place, leaving only a large, empty pit in the heart of the mountain.
The key problem is that this alien god did not leave on his own. It was obvious that he was dug up and taken away.
He strongly suspected that this was the work of the Shenwei Army.
The purpose of taking away this strange god is definitely not to worship him, so he must be plotting something.
Xu Yingdao: "We are short of manpower now..." He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Junior Brother Zhang is meditating in his residence. Since he has nothing to do for the time being, why not ask him to come out and take care of the place."
Xiang Chun shook his head and said: "I have been selecting scholars recently. This matter is more important. If there is someone in our Xuanfu who can speak for us at the scholar meeting, then my situation will be greatly improved." He turned his head and said seriously:
"Junior brother, the overall situation is the most important thing!"
Xu Ying said expressionlessly: "I understand, senior brother."
He doesn't put Zhang Yu and "Xiulin Zhice" together now, because since Qi Ao met Zhang Yu and gave him half a piece of Xuan Yu, he recognized him as one of the successors of Xuan Yu, and
He is also the one who decides the matter. Since they are equals, he is naturally not qualified to use the other party as a chess piece. Even Xiang Chun would not agree.
The reason why he had such a strong reaction when he heard Zhang Yuguan read the Chapter of Lingming was that he was afraid that something like this would happen and his plan would fail, and the result would not be as expected.
Now he has focused all his attention on Bai Qingqing, trying hard to build momentum for the latter, making everyone think that he is the talent that Xuanfu will work hard to cultivate in the next step.
After discussing the matter with Xiang Chun for a while, he came out of the affairs hall and came to the Qishan secret room.
When the young scribe wearing a mask saw him coming, he stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "Master Xu."
Xu Ying sat down and asked: "How is your practice lately?"
The young scribe said: "It's almost time. My nephew is practicing the last correct seal. It will take at most five or six days to complete it. Recently, my nephew has been able to feel the signs that my uncle said that his heart is about to shine."
Xu Ying couldn't help but feel happy. He felt that this sign meant that there was a great chance of finding the secret. He calculated that if this was the case, he would be able to successfully enter the chapter of Lingming around the New Year.
He praised: "Very good, don't be anxious at this time. It would be fine if you would rather delay it for a few days. After you can watch the second chapter, I will go to Xuanshou for you to ask for instructions on how to get to the third chapter."
The 'rules' of it."
The young scribe raised his head and looked at him, as if he was about to speak but hesitated.
However, Xu Ying was immersed in joy and thinking about when Xuanshou would leave seclusion next, so he did not notice this.
Above Tenghai, a medium-sized passenger ship is drifting on the sea. However, unlike ordinary passenger ships, the passengers on the ship are all young and strong men with solemn expressions. From the way they walk, it can be seen that they are well-trained.
Above the deck of the passenger ship, a huge thing about two feet long was wrapped tightly in thick cloth. It could be vaguely seen as a human-shaped object.
At the bow of the ship, a young man with a gloomy face leaned against the side of the ship, his eyes constantly moving on the thick cloth, as if he was very afraid of what was wrapped underneath.
"Lieutenant, are you hiding here again?"
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties and was wearing Shengjiang clothes walked over with a joking look on his face. When passing by the thing, he reached out and patted the thick cloth and said, "Don't worry.
Yes, those people in the Restoration of God Sect are very capable, and they will never wake up until they reach the end of the land."
Chang Queli sneered and said: "Compared to the people of the Fushen Sect, I believe in myself more."
The middle-aged strong man nodded and said: "You're right to be careful." He walked over, stood side by side with the Chang team leader, and said to him: "Chang team leader, you are so afraid of this thing, but you took the initiative to do this.
, do you want to compete for the vacant position of military commander?"
Chang team rate turned around, his eyes were slightly cold, and said: "Isn't it possible that Gao team rate doesn't mean this?"
"I?"
Captain Gao laughed loudly and said: "I know myself, but my strength is far from enough. Besides, I am very afraid of death. The military commander looks at the scenery, but Xuanfu cannot underestimate it now.
You said what if... right?"
The leader of the regular team disdained his remarks. In his opinion, only by becoming a military commander can one truly control his own destiny, while those below can only be influenced by others, and there is no need to worry about lack of strength and becoming a military commander.
At this time, you will be eligible to perform a ceremony to unlock the shackles of power. As long as you survive it, you will naturally be able to greatly improve your strength.
Although the chance of failure in this ritual was relatively high, he was convinced that he could pass it.
"Two days left!"
He turned around and looked at the vast sea, with a fiery light in his eyes. He only had to wait for two days and wake up the things on the ship when he arrived at the port. Then the mission would be completed.
