This is the highest point of the main hall of Xuan Mansion. It looks like a towering crane head, with nothing covering it except the blue sky.
Xuanshou Zhu Yisheng stood here, his Taoist robes fluttering in the wind. He looked up into the sky, looking at the big green banyan tree covering the sky, and said: "You can save your effort and leave me here alone for more than fifty years. But...it’s soon.”
After standing for a long time, he walked down from the top and walked to a brilliant jade mirror. He took the whisk and just swept it. After a while, the surface of the jade mirror rippled. After a few breaths, the surface of the mirror began to ripple. A portal opened out of nowhere.
In the mist of Xuxu, a figure seemed to be moving. After a moment, a handsome and free-spirited young Taoist came out. When he saw Zhu Yisheng, he bowed respectfully and said: "Disciple pays homage to the teacher."
Zhu Yisheng looked at him a few times, nodded slightly, and said, "Follow me."
The young Taoist followed him to a quiet room, where there were two futons. Zhu Yisheng sat down first, and after giving a signal, the young Taoist knelt down on the futon opposite him.
Zhu Yisheng asked: "Is there anything unclear about your recent practice?"
The young Taoist said: "Master Yao treats me very well. He answers all my questions without any problems."
Zhu Yisheng said: "You have extraordinary understanding. Things about your merits and deeds are just trivial matters. I won't worry about them. I am the only one who truly cultivates. Apart from qualifications and talents, the Taoist heart is the most important. You have to keep it."
The young Taoist bowed his head at the seat and solemnly said, "Disciple, please remember this."
Zhu Yisheng said: "I have arranged everything for you. Next month, together with the people from the Prosecution Department, you will carry my warrant and let the Taoist sects cooperate with your inspection. You can control the proportion yourself. As long as you complete it If you do this, you can gain enough reputation, so that I can entrust the 'Qingyang Wheel' and the entire Qingyang Xuanfu to you before I leave."
The young Taoist was startled for a moment. Although he had been cultivating in the spiritual and mysterious realm for these years, he was not completely ignorant of the outside world. When he heard this, he immediately reacted and couldn't help but look at Zhu Yisheng and asked tentatively: " The teacher didn’t let the Inspector to inspect those Taoist sects before, so was he just paving the way for his disciples?”
Zhu Yisheng said quietly: "Yes, they are the ones I left for you to use in your superiority."
The young Taoist was silent for a while, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "Master, those Xuanxiu practitioners are also our fellow Taoists. Why would Master do this?"
Zhu Yisheng looked at him, as if cold lightning flashed in his eyes, and said, "Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"
The young Taoist couldn't help but lower his head and said in fear: "I don't dare, it's just that I have doubts in my heart."
Zhu Yisheng said: "The reason why I did this is because they cannot be trusted. You will know the reason later. You just need to do what I say."
The young Taoist could only say yes.
Zhu Yisheng was about to say anything, but he suddenly sensed something and looked up through the palace. After a while, he saw a stream of light coming from the east, crossing the Xuan Mansion, and heading northwest. His eyes focused. He stood up and said, "Xuan Ting's edict?"
In a half-broken Taoist temple somewhere in Guanzhou, Hui Yuanwu and Qi Yu both had faces full of joy.
Hui Yuanwu looked at the letter in his hand and said with a smile: "Lao Qi, I really didn't expect that we just tried to write a letter, and Taoist Fellow Wan Ming actually replied."
Qi Yu sighed: "Yes, I never thought of it."
The Wanming Taoist they are talking about is not a simple figure, he is also famous among all Taoist sects. Among the people who rose up when Xuanfa flourished in the early years, this person has a place, but he is not as many as many at the same time.
People in this period generally chose to establish Taoist sects, but chose to practice in seclusion. Until recently, they reappeared and publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with the current pattern of numerous Taoist sects.
After the two of them heard about it, they tried to write a book and explain their ideas. Unexpectedly, they received a response within a few days, and the person stated that he was willing to share what he had learned with those who had the same goals as him.
Qi Yu said: "If this person can help us, then we don't have to bother Daoist Zhang anymore."
Hui Yuanwu thought about it and said uncertainly: "Yeah."
Qi Yu shook his head and said: "If Daoist Fellow Zhang is willing to join us, it won't be difficult to get guidance from Fellow Daoist Wan Ming, right? It's a pity that he was too precious and missed this opportunity."
Hui Yuanwu wanted to say something, but felt that he had no way to say it. At this time, he suddenly saw a ray of light passing by in the sky. He couldn't help but pointed in surprise and said: "Old Qi, what is that?"
That ray of light can fly brightly and openly above Qingyang Shangzhou, which is definitely not a simple thing.
Qi Yu hesitated and said, "That seems to be..." He had a guess in his mind, but it felt a bit ridiculous.
Hui Yuanwu pondered: "Looking at that direction, it seems to be towards the northwest, Pingzhou, Yingzhou or Gaozhou? In other words, Daoyou Zhang is in Gaozhou at the moment, right?"
Qi Yu didn't know why, but suddenly he was a little upset, and said: "Maybe something happened in the continent. Let's ignore it for now. We will set off tomorrow. It is best to see fellow Taoist Wan Ming as soon as possible."
Dangzhou Shouguan County, Liangzhongdao Station.
The leader of the sect, Xu Jianzheng, summoned two members of the sect and his colleague Xuan Xiu to discuss matters.
One of these two people was surnamed Xiang, and the other was surnamed Li. When they first established the Liangzhong Sect, they also played an important role. They were also indispensable for the Liangzhong Sect to have a place in Qingyang Shangzhou.
Xu Jian picked up a letter, shook it in his hand, and said: "Yesterday, the Procuratorate and Justice Department sent another question letter. In addition to the previous ones, this is the fourth question letter sent recently.
.”
He threw the letter on the case, "It seems that we must give a reply, otherwise the prosecutor may not let it go easily this time."
Xiang Xuanxiu has a rather violent temper. He said angrily: "We, the Liang Zhong Dao sect, are not the only ones with problems. Neither Hongshan nor Mi Guang are clean, but they just stare at us. This is because they are looking at us."
Is it easy to bully?”
Xu Jian was calm and said: "Who told us that our sect is small and weak? If we also have the cultivation of the two sect leaders Hong Shan and Mi Guang, how can the prosecutor be bullied?"
Li Xuanxiu said: "I don't know what the leader of the sect thinks?"
Xu Jian looked at the two of them and said, "Do you think we can give in?"
Xiang Xuanxiu was anxious and shouted: "Absolutely not! Leader, once we open this hole, are we afraid that we will be controlled by the Procuratorate in the future? I will not agree! I will never agree!"
Li Xuanxiu also said: "Sect leader, the prosecutor said it was to test the nightmare, but it requires not only collecting blood, but also using visualization diagrams to observe our minds. This is really too much. Can we discuss it with them again?"
The monks' blood essence involves their own safety. They are absolutely unwilling to collect blood. Using visualization to observe their minds is tantamount to exposing everything in their hearts. Which monk is willing to do this?
Xiang Xuanxiu said: "Why don't we ask Hongshan and Miguang to come forward to mediate? If we are investigated, they will be next. They should not sit idly by in this matter."
Xu Jian shook his head and said, "It might have worked in the past, but this time the Prosecution Department has spoken tough. It seems that they won't let it go until they achieve their goal." He pondered for a moment, "It seems we have to make a choice.
"Abandon?"
Xiang and Li were shocked.
Xu Jian took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "This is from Mingshan. You two fellow Taoists may wish to take a look."
"Ming Shan?"
Xiang and Li looked at each other and picked up the letter. After reading it, their expressions changed.
Xiang Xuanxiu said angrily: "So, Chief Xuan wants us to obey his disciples? Are we allowed to be examined by his disciples?"
Xu Jian said: "We don't obey the Inspector General. If we continue to disobey Xuanshou, there will no longer be a place for us in the continent. But think on the bright side, this disciple of Xuanshou is very likely to be the next Xuanshou in the future."
, if we can rely on him, the result is not too bad. And it is better to let him check it than to let someone from the Procuratorate inspect it. He is a true cultivator and will not covet anything from us."
Xiang and Li could not think of any good solution at this time. Li Xuanxiu said: "In that case..."
Halfway through his words, there was a sound of breaking through the sky. The three of them immediately concentrated on looking up. When they saw the dazzling golden rainbow, they all showed shock unconsciously.
Sixty years ago, when wars broke out across the continent, they had seen a similar scene.
Li Xuanxiu pointed and said: "Sect leader, this, this is probably..."
Xu Jian nodded and said in a deep voice: "It must be the imperial edict from Xuanting."
Li Xuanxiu looked at it again and said puzzledly: "Strange, that direction does not seem to be towards Xuanfu, but towards the northwest..."
Xu Jian found out that it was indeed the case. He thought for a long time, looked at the two of them and said, "Xuan Ting has issued an edict not to go to Xuan Mansion, but to go somewhere else. There must be something in it. We have just discussed the matter, so we will postpone it for a while."
Slow down."
In Kaiyang Academy, Cao Liang looked at the erratic gray-black fog and sand in his hand. He felt a tingling sensation just by looking at it.
Wei Xue Ling said: "The true cultivator who gave me this thing once said that this is evil golden evil sand, which can restrain swords. He said that he will know how to use it specifically when it is in the hands of a monk."
Cao Liang said: "Swords are transparent and clear objects that cannot be contaminated by any foreign matter. However, this thing is made of evil spirits, but it can contaminate the sword and infect Xuanxiu's inner light. Although it can be resolved after a battle.
, but it can be of great use in a battle."
Wei Xue Ling said: "As long as it is useful."
At this moment, Cao Liang illuminated his heart and sacrificed the evil golden evil sand to refine it.
Wei Xue Ling said at this time: "When is it convenient to take action?"
Cao Liang thought for a while and said: "Since I have this thing, delaying it is useless, so I will just do it for a few days. It's just that I can't use it in the academy, so I can ask him to fight outside the palace."
Wei Xueliang responded: "Okay, I will make arrangements later."
After the discussion, the two people walked out of the golden platform and were about to return to their respective homes, but suddenly they felt that the sky and the earth suddenly lit up, and the dark night suddenly turned into day. The two people looked up in surprise and saw a ball of light.
An incomparable golden ball of light is hanging high above the head. Its light is as fierce as the fiery sun, shining in all directions.
A moment later, a beam of light fell from the light group, and it enveloped the entire Kaiyang Academy. Then a loud voice came down, shaking the four directions, saying: "Xuan Ting's edict has arrived, Qing Qing."
Xuanxiu of Yangxuan Mansion, Xia Shi Zhang Yu accepted the imperial edict!"
