Two hundred and thirtieth chapters of different machines inside and outside
Zhang Yu glanced at the metal plate. When his eyes fell, the surrounding scenery dimmed for an instant. Then a layer of clouds opened in front of him, and a map drawn with various brightly colored materials appeared inside.
It is not a static picture, but a moving picture, and the mountains, rivers and terrain are vividly expressed.
At a glance, you can tell that the main thing here is the Dongting South Continent that has not been fully explored in Dongting Fuzhou, and it also contains underground rivers, mineral deposits, magical creatures, ancient ruins and many other places.
The old man who called Paliu claimed that it took nearly an era to compile this picture, which seemed to be true.
With these things, Nanlu is in control.
But even so, the Restoring God Society has not completely explored the entire land. Especially when the map goes south, it merges into nothingness. It is obvious that it has not reached the end.
In fact, the same is true for Dongting Beilu. The northern end of Fuzhou leads directly to the sea, but it is unknown further away. After all, after every turbidity tide, the land and land will expand and the topography will change.
The only exception is this large area including the Anshan Mountains, which is the coastal area on the west side of Dongting, South, North and South. Even if it is attacked by turbidity tide, it has not changed much since the beginning. What is the reason here?
, there are many speculations, but there is no accurate conclusion until now.
At this time, he saw some places marked with special spiritual symbols on the map, and asked, "What are these places?"
The old man looked at it and replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, those are some realms that our generation has never explored, some are inhabited by gods that are difficult to reach, and some are extremely dangerous supernatural beings, and those marked in red are
It's an ancient ruin, especially that one..."
He pointed at a place, which was a large red area located almost east of the center of the southern continent. It was very eye-catching.
"We still can't figure out where it is. Every time we send people there, they never come back, because this place has not changed since the beginning of the ancient calendar. Even the turbid tide has not changed before and after, and it has no impact on us.
So we never went there to explore again, but it was strictly forbidden for people to get close."
After Zhang Yu looked at it, he put the metal plate away and said, "One more thing, you should keep the prophecy tablet, right?"
The old man said: "Yes, yes, these things, as well as all the knowledge about the Moqi God Clan that I have obtained from the Moqi God Clan, are all placed in the insect boat. I will present them to Tianxia if I wish.
Your Majesty can send someone to check." He paused, lowered his head and said, "I just have a request. I also want to be a Tianxia person, but I don't know if I can get my wish..."
Zhang Yu said lightly: "It depends on whether the things you have committed in the past can be tested by Tianxia Law." He waved his hand, and naturally a resident monk came up, held him down and said, "Wait with me.
Let’s go.”
The old man did not dare to resist and followed the two monks honestly.
Zhang Yu looked at Yi Shen and said, "Fellow Daoist Yi did a good job."
Yi Shen smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it as a compliment. As a Tianxia person, I should do my best for Tianxia. It's just that Yi just wants to live in this world, and I don't know if your friend will allow it."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "If fellow Taoist is willing, then you can. Fellow Taoist will be rewarded for his contribution in the future."
There are no rules in Tianxia that prohibit upper-level monks from living in the human world. As long as they make an oath in advance, there will be no problem. But compared to the upper level, the inner level is really not a place where upper-level monks are willing to stay for a long time. Therefore, few people choose this.
After Zhang Yu finished explaining to Yi Shen, he talked to Jin Zhixing and Ai Bogao for a while, and then the avatar turned into starlight and left, returned to the real body, and continued to practice meditation in the palace.
Only three days later, the sea of clouds rang the bell, and another court meeting was held in Xuanting.
This time the matter of guarding was still mentioned, but most of the court officials agreed with Dai Tingzhi's previous opinion, that is, to set up a police formation in the inner and outer realms, and then strengthen the power of the guards in various places, and do not deal with the forces in the world.
Too much change.
Chong Tingzhi and Zhong Tingzhi were both firmly opposed and gave some reasons. They still vaguely expressed the intention that even if a court decision was requested, they would try to reject the proposal.
However, there was no court decision this time, but the matter had to be resolved, so the court ordered Shou Zhenggong to strengthen his strength temporarily until a result could be determined next time.
After coming down from the Guangqi River, Zhong Tingzhi said to Chong Tingzhi: "Brother Chong Tingzhi has noticed that the chief minister has been talking less and less recently."
Chong Tingzhi pondered: "It seems that the chief executive has to concentrate on his work. The only one who will take over the position of chief executive in the future is Chen Tingzhi."
Zhong Tingzhi nodded.
Regardless of Gu Yangzi of Shangchentian and Guan Chaosheng of the Huanyang sect, Chen Tingzhi has been second only to the chief executive since Tianxia came into the world. His own reputation is also very high, so it is natural to take over the chief executive position.
.
But what worries him is that although Chen Tingzhi is a true cultivator, he is now a monk. It is difficult to say where his stance will be.
He sighed: "It's a pity that Wu Tingzhi is not as good as Chen Tingzhiqi."
Chong Tingzhi said in a deep voice: "I know Wu Tingzhi, so I have the opportunity, but I have no such intention."
Wu Qingxu rarely spoke at court. Apart from being responsible for matters within his own power and responsibilities, he was almost indifferent to other matters. He rarely made friends with colleagues, and he also had the idea of taking charge of the overall situation.
Zhong Tingzhi shook his head and said: "If you think about it this way, it is a good thing for Chen Tingzhi to take over. It is better than someone like Chao Tingzhi becoming the chief executive, right?"
Although he knew that such a thing was impossible, just thinking about it made Chong Tingzhi's expression change slightly.
In fact, when it comes to the chief executive, they still have one candidate in mind, and that is Zhang Yu. However, although Zhang Yu's contribution is not small and his moral conduct is high enough, he is still relatively junior after all. But when Chen Tingzhi retires, if he
If I had the intention, it might still be somewhat possible, but now it is impossible.
Chong Tingzhi sighed: "There are too few people in the court today who can support our opinions. If fellow Taoist Zhengqing can return, we can still win the battle."
Zhong Tingzhi nodded. If Taoist Zhengqing had not been expelled in the first place, regardless of his merits, status, or previous qualifications, in their opinion, he would actually be the best candidate to succeed the chief, and he could compete with Chen Ting for his position.
,
He thought for a while and then said: "Zhengqing and Cen Chuan, two fellow Taoists, seem to dislike creation. Even if they come to the upper level, they may not support us."
After a pause, he added: "However, if the chief executive retreats, then the court will most likely nominate another Xuanshou or guard as the court executive. Currently, there are only a few people who are qualified to join the court and hold power."
Candidates who can become court officials must either have made enough achievements, or have a long-term position, and must be passable in terms of merit. Like Feng and Gao Er, that is just a special case in special times.
The only thing that comforts them is that after Zhang Yu, although Xuan Xiu has achieved a few achievements one after another, their foundations are still shallow and no one has such qualifications. Therefore, the successors this time are either true cultivators.
Or it's the Hunzhang monk guarding the outer layer.
Chong Tingzhi said: "Recently, fellow Daoist You has obtained superior Taoist fruits. If this person is willing to take on the power and responsibility and sit in charge, then it will not be difficult to become a Tingzhi. It is a pity that this person does not ask anything except the formation."
He said in a deep voice: "But no matter what, we must fight for this matter, and it is best to nominate a true cultivator to the position!"
The two of them could see this, and the rest of the court could also see it. Feng Daoren even found Zhang Yu to discuss the possible situation.
Zhang Yu also saw that the leader might be preparing to abdicate, so that he would probably add another senior cultivator to the court. He didn't care whether the other party was a true cultivator or a mysterious cultivator. As long as he was promoted according to Tianxia rules, it would be fine.
.
However, it was too early to think about this at this time. He had a vague feeling that the fact that the five directors were looking for him might have something to do with the fact that the leader was about to retire.
At the same time, in the outer layer of void.
Zhu Feng and Mei Shang were traveling around the stars in a flying boat. However, due to the frequent fluctuations of the turbid tide, they recently discovered that there were more and more mysterious creatures in the void.
Especially in the past few days, I have encountered some strange creatures. These creatures are wrapped in thin films and float on the stars in the sky. They use the stars as eggs to impregnate their own kind, and then float towards them like jellyfish.
In the void, although such things are not offensive, their number is gradually increasing.
There is another thing that is even more weird. It is a mirror-like chip that wanders in the void. This thing merges with the void. Unless you sense it carefully, you can't tell where it is and what it is.
Shape, only when you get closer can you see your own figure reflected in it.
It seems that Xuanzun like them is easy to say. They are people who are detached from the world and can't take any pictures. However, the monks, disciples or soldiers who were taken pictures before, whoever see the shadows always have dreams after returning.
He is inside the chip, but those shadows have replaced him outside.
After waking up, they can't help but think about it, and they can't even tell whether they are themselves or not. Whether they are monks or soldiers, their mental state will become worse and worse because of this.
Zhu Feng and Mei Shang once tried to destroy these things, but found that these things were inexhaustible, and their number was gradually increasing. The cultivation of the affected disciples was getting higher and higher, and it seemed that these things would also increase in level accordingly.
.This is very dangerous. Because it is difficult to say to what level it will eventually rise to and what kind of abilities it will have.
Zhu Feng realized the seriousness of the matter and suggested: "Fellow Taoist Mei, it's better to report this matter to the court as soon as possible."
The plum merchant thought for a while and agreed with this view. So the two of them appended all the strange things they saw on a jade talisman and sent it to the upper level of Qingqiong with Yuandu Xuantu.
