As soon as Zhang Yu saw the flash of fire, he stopped and his heart light slowly rose up, surrounding his whole body.
However, after the fire light approached, it retreated. In the distance, a handsome and handsome sword-carrying Taoist appeared from inside. He cupped his hand and said, "Junior brother, are you okay?"
Zhang Yu raised his sleeves and saluted, saying: "Brother, why are you here?"
Tao Dingfu smiled and said: "Junior brother, I have heard about you recently. I know that you have received the imperial edict from Xuanting to take up the post of Xuanzheng. I was wondering if I could come and help you?"
Zhang Yu was not polite and said: "I just need senior brother's help here."
Tao Dingfu laughed and said, "Then I must have come to the right place."
Zhang Yu glanced around and said, "Senior brother, we might as well find a secluded place to talk."
Tao Dingfu said solemnly: "Okay."
The entire city of Ansu-eup is integrated into the natural mountains and rivers. Even the surroundings of the city are beautiful. It is surrounded by more than ten lakes, all connected by water and rivers. When you look into the sky, the waves are rippling like beads on a silver chain.
The two of them landed in front of a lake pavilion. In the reeds, a group of waterbirds suddenly started and fluttered their wings in the sky.
Zhang Yu found a flat ground, and with a wave of his sleeves, a table and futons appeared in front of him, as well as tea cans and tea sets on the table.
Tao Dingfu glanced at the pouch on his waist and said with a hint of envy: "This purple gold pouch was given by Xuanting, right? This is a good thing. Except for seeing a similar one from my teacher back then, I have never seen it on many people.
Pass."
Zhang Yu invited him to sit down, and he also sat down opposite him and asked, "Where have you been, senior brother, in the past few months?"
Tao Dingfu flicked his fingers, and hot steam suddenly emerged from the teapot. He picked it up, poured himself and Zhang Yu each a cup of hot tea, and said: "Where else can I go as an idle person? There is only one place to go.
Let’s go to the spiritual and mysterious realm.”
Zhang Yudao: "How about that place?"
Tao Dingfu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then nodded and said, "The tea from Dongting still suits my taste. It seems that I will have to visit my junior brother more often."
Zhang Yudao: "Senior brother is willing to come, and I will certainly welcome you."
Tao Dingfu put down his tea cup and said: "Actually, I don't like Lingmiao Xuanjing. It's all the same old place and it seems like it won't change for thousands of years. Although the scenery is quite nice, it's sparsely populated. In comparison,
Today's Qingyang Shangzhou is more interesting. If it weren't for the convenience of learning a lot of things there and being able to find opponents at any time, I wouldn't have the heart to stay there."
Zhang Yu became a little interested and said, "Oh? But I wonder what senior brother learned there?"
Tao Dingfu perked up and said, "Junior brother, have you ever heard of 'knowing and seeing the true spirit'?"
Zhang Yu nodded.
The so-called "True Spirit of Knowledge and Seeing" is actually another term for "Observer", but the "Observer" is made by the masters of the Tianji Department, while the "True Spirit of Knowledge and Seeing" is purely created by true cultivation.
Already.
Tao Dingfu said: "I have learned how to refine this thing after spending so many years in the spiritual and mysterious realm."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, and it was not surprising that he could learn how to forge such things. In order to practice Shangyang Zhenqi, his senior brother often used various kinds of heaven and earth firepower to create artifacts and then hone himself.
It seems that the sword in his hand was one that he spent several years refining.
In fact, those who are good at controlling real fire among true cultivators are often good at refining weapons.
Tao Dingfu said enthusiastically: "A few days ago, someone used the 'Observer' refining method to exchange for a magical weapon to restrain swords. Later, he found it on my head, so I gave him something to suppress it.
That's it, his methods have inspired me a lot, and I have figured out a lot of things. If junior brother needs it, I can make one for junior brother."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Is there anything I need to use?"
Tao Dingfu said nonchalantly: "Nothing is needed. Many people asked me to refine it some time ago. I also got a lot of extra materials. It is useless to keep them. I might as well give you an advantage, junior brother."
Zhang Yudao: "I heard that cultivating this thing requires the use of monks' blood?"
Tao Dingfu said: "It is indeed necessary to use it, but it is taboo for monks like us to take other people's blood essence, so when it comes to the last step, it is usually left to the monks themselves to complete, which also reduces a lot of entanglements."
Zhang Yu's next thought was that although the observer and the true spirit of knowledge have similar effects, only monks know what the monks really need. That's why Hui Yuanwu told him at that time that the "observer" trained in true cultivation is more suitable.
them.
His inner plan was to find the 'Seal of Seer', but now that he had the opportunity to obtain the 'True Spirit of Knowledge', he would not refuse it. Even if he would not use it in the future, it would be a good idea to try to understand it.
So he said: "If it is convenient for me, senior brother, then you can make one for me."
Tao Dingfu laughed, stood up from his seat, and said: "I know that junior brother has important things to do when he comes down, so I won't delay you. I can build this thing very quickly. It will be ready in half a month at most."
Come back, then I will have tea and discuss Taoism with my junior brother."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and gave a graceful salute, then turned into flowing fire and fled into the distance with a sudden movement.
Zhang Yu watched him go away, waved his sleeves, and put everything here back into the purple gold bag, thinking: "Xuanshou's disciple will arrive within a few months, so I should go back and make preparations."
With a change of heart, he transformed into a blue rainbow and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Southwest of Qingyang Shangzhou, somewhere in the wilderness outside the territory, Hui Yuanwu and Qi Yu walked out of an underground cave. In an instant, the "knowing observers" in both of them were urging them to hurry up.
leave here.
But neither of them paid attention.
Hui Yuanwu looked at the dilapidated and desolate scene outside and said, "I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Wan Ming would actually live here all these years. He is a man of great perseverance."
Qi Yu also sighed: "Yes, I never thought that fellow Taoist Wan Ming has been in seclusion these years, but in fact he has been fighting various strange gods and monsters outside the territory, and he is still there in the past few decades.
It’s rare to have such a big business here, it’s rare!”
Hui Yuanwu turned around and said, "Lao Qi, I just wanted to ask fellow Taoist Wan Ming about his attitude toward fellow Taoist Zhang. Why did you stop me from talking?"
Qi Yu said: "You are just too impatient. We just came, and those fellow Taoists are also here. Now if we ask them face to face whether they are willing to follow Xuanzheng or choose to establish their own sect, wouldn't this force them to express their opinions immediately?
What’s your thoughts? This is very inappropriate, and it’s hard for even a Taoist friend to be a human being.”
Hui Yuanwu snorted and said: "If I can really try it, I think it would be good."
Qi Yu shook his head and said: "We still have to give fellow Taoist Wan Ming some face. After all, he is the master here. We can ask him some questions privately. Even if we have to say it in person, it should be done by him as the master. We cannot do it for him without authorization.
"
Hui Yuanwu complained: "Lao Qi, you are always worried about this and that. How long will we have to wait if this continues?"
Qi Yu thought for a while and said, "Just wait a little longer. I will find an opportunity to explain this matter to fellow Taoist Wan Ming in the next two or three days. Before that, please don't make any noise about it."
Huiyuan Martial Arts: "Okay, then I'll wait for another three days!"
Just as they were talking, someone in the cave said: "Why are you two hiding here and talking? The scenes outside are the same and lifeless. What's so interesting about them?"
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, my brother and I came out to get some air, but is anything wrong?"
The man in the cave murmured: "There is only evil energy outside, how can there be any air to escape? Later, fellow Taoist Wanming has something serious to say, so ask me to come and let you know. Don't miss it then."
Qi Yu said, "Here you go, thank you fellow Taoist." After the man left, the two looked at each other, and Qi Yu said, "Lao Wu, let's go back and see what fellow Taoist Wan Ming is going to say."
Zhang Yu returned to the academy by flying boat, and first wrote a letter and sent it to the Prosecution Department, informing them that he was preparing to set out to inspect the various sects in a while, and would need the cooperation of the Prosecution Department. At the same time,
Ask them for detailed descriptions of each faction.
This is something that Xuanfu does not have, because since the establishment of each Taoist sect, no written records have been left in Xuanfu. As the only government office that still keeps an eye on Taoist sects, the Procuratorate should not be lacking in this aspect.
record of.
Within a few days, he continued as before, teaching students in the academy during the day and practicing meditation at night.
Although his identity has changed to Xuanfu Xuanzheng, his attitude towards others is still the same as before. However, since he became Xuanzheng, those who were familiar with him in the past can no longer treat him as an ordinary leader.
.
Especially those Xuan Xiu in the academy, now they are very respectful when they see him, and some people simply stay away from him. As for the Reverend Cao Liang who came not long ago, it is said that when he received Xuan Ting
On the day when the edict was delivered, he returned to the Taoist sect.
On the fifth day after he came back, he was looking through the Taoist records just sent by the Procuratorate. Li Qinghe came up and said: "Sir, there is a Xuanxiu who claims to be from the Liuru Taoist sect. He is looking for you, saying that he has something important to report.
.”
"Liu Ru Tao Sect?"
Zhang Yu flipped through the book in his hand and quickly found the records about the Liuru Taoist Sect. After reading for a while, he ordered: "Invite him to wait in the guest room." He waited here for a while and then left from the top table.
He walked down and came to the guest room.
A Xuan Xiuxiu, who was in his thirties and had a kind face, was brought in from outside by Li Qinghe. When he saw him, he quickly bowed and said, "I'm the Guanfu of the Liuru Taoist Sect, and I'm here to pay my respects to Zhang Xuanzheng."
Zhang Yu also bowed and said: "Friends of the Conduit, please take a seat."
After Guan Fu thanked him, he carefully sat down aside.
Zhang Yu also sat down at the main seat. After Li Qinghe served tea, he said: "Friend Duan, you said you wanted to find me for something, but I don't know what it is?"
Guan Fu looked around subconsciously and said in a low voice: "I came here to report something to Xuan Zheng. If Xuan Zheng wants to check those Taoist sects, it will be faster."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Why is this?"
Guan Fu said with a hint of excitement: "Xuanzheng, I don't know what other Taoist sects are like, but I know that my Liuru Taoist sect is preparing to evacuate Qingyang Shangzhou! They want to run away!"
