On the 10th day of the fifth month of the Daxuan calendar, which was the second day after Zhang Yu returned from Qingyang Xuanfu, the Hongshan and Miguang factions released news and announced that they were willing to accept inspection by Xuanfu.
As soon as the two sects announced this, most of the remaining Taoist sects who were watching the situation immediately gave up their persistence and expressed their willingness to accept the test.
Zhang Yu and Yun Chen discussed it and decided to start from a small faction.
This time they did not come to the door in person, but asked various sects to come directly to Xuan Mansion for investigation.
The various sects did not dare to disobey, and they all led their disciples one by one to the Xuan Mansion.
And most of them did not have the confidence of the Miguang and Hongguang sects, and they did not dare to continue to maintain the Taoist sect. While accepting the examination, they also handed over their seal secrets and visualization diagrams.
These things were done very smoothly, and after the work was completed, another four days passed.
Zhang Yu noticed something was wrong at this time. According to his agreement with Li Mo, after he returned to the station, he would try to persuade his colleagues here to move closer to Xuanfu and inform him of the current situation outside the territory at any time.
But five days have passed, and I think he should have returned to the station long ago, but there has been no news until now, so it is very likely that something happened.
In view of this, he felt that he could not stay here longer, so after thinking about it, he ordered someone to invite Yun Chen and said: "Fellow Daoist Yun, I have recently received reports that there is probably a 'spiritual pass' in the southern region of Qingyang Shangzhou.
', and it is very likely that there are others coveting this place. I am going to go here recently for confirmation. As for going to Hongshan and Miguang two sects to inspect it, I can only ask fellow Taoist Yun."
Zhu Xuanshou did not tell his disciples about this, so Yun Chen was very surprised when he heard it, and said: "It's actually a spiritual gate? You can't let it go."
He knew the importance of the spiritual pass and solemnly said: "Xuan Zheng, don't worry, I will take care of the rest."
Zhang Yu nodded. In fact, even if there was no matter about the spiritual barrier, this time he went to the two factions to check, and he also intended to let Yun Chen do it alone. This was his previous promise to Zhu Xuanshou, that is, to give the credit to Yun Chen.
The merit here does not refer to merit, but to one's reputation.
If Yun Chen wants to successfully take the position of Xuanshou of Qingyang Xuanfu, he must first have justifiable achievements to convince the public and thereby establish his position, and an inventory of the various sects is the stepping stone Xuanshou has prepared for him.
As for Zhang Yu himself, he actually doesn't care about this. As Xuanzheng, as long as he does a good job in supervision, it is already a great achievement in itself, so there is no need to fight for it.
After the matter was settled, he told Yun Chen something that he had been considering for a long time.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, although many Taoist sects have been dismantled now, it has also blocked their way of recruiting disciples. If this continues, in ten or eight years, I, the Xuanfu monk, may have no successors."
Yun Chen's expression became more serious. When Zhang Yu mentioned it, he immediately realized the seriousness of this problem. Although he was a true cultivator, since his teacher arranged for him to be the next Xuan Chief, he must stand in the Xuan Mansion.
Consider the issue from your standpoint.
He thought for a while and said: "Xuanzheng raised this matter, but is there a solution?"
Zhang Yudao: "We only need to restore the old system of Xuanfu here. I am going to find a suitable opportunity to re-establish the Xuanfu Academy in all the prefectures and counties."
When he was in the Dongting Protectorate, Xuanfu was continuously provided with talents by Taiyang Academy, and the entire academy was even built around Xuanfu.
Originally, the same was true for Qingyang Xuanfu. More than sixty years ago, there were 23 prefectures and counties in Qingyang Shangzhou, and the schools in each state and county had to provide certain talents for Xuanfu every year.
However, due to the changes in the situation, coupled with the rapid progress of the Divine Robe Xuanjia, most of the current academy has been transformed into providing talents for the military and continental mansions.
Yun Chen said: "I understand what Xuan Zheng said, but with the current situation in the continent, where does this academy come from? Where do the students come from?"
Zhang Yudao: "I have read the files before. There are still several abandoned school palaces in the prefectures and counties. Now they are used by him. We can try to get them back and rebuild them. In fact, the school palace is just a dead thing, even if it is taken seriously
Even if it doesn’t exist, it can be rebuilt. So what if we, as cultivators, use heaven and earth as our hut? The key here still lies in people!”
Yun Chen was a true cultivator, and he agreed very much with Zhang Yu's view. He raised his hand and looked like he was asking for advice, and said: "Then I dare to ask Xuan Zheng, where do people come from?"
Zhang Yu said slowly: "Overseas Protectorate."
Yun Chen's eyes lit up. He understood what Zhang Yu meant in an instant and couldn't help but nod his head.
Zhang Yudao: "Beyond the East, there are fifty-seven Protectorate Palaces, and Xuanfu is stationed at each place. However, there are still no news from most of them. When this happens, Xuanfu should send people there.
Search and bring them back to Tianxia. Afterwards, we can also recruit talents from the many returned Protectorate."
With the current situation in Qingyang Shangzhou, forcing the two governments to compete for students would easily lead to civil strife, so he set his sights overseas.
As long as the Protectorate Palaces in various places still exist and still respect Tianxia, then there must be Xuan Palace stationed there. If this part of the Xuan Palace and even the academy behind it can be integrated, then Qingyang Xuan Palace will not be short of talents.
Even if only half of the Protectorate returned, it would still be a very powerful force.
In this way, on the one hand, direct conflicts with the Qingyang Prefecture can be avoided, and on the other hand, it can further strengthen the connections between the many Protectorate Prefectures and the local area. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Yun Chen strongly agrees with this strategy. Although there are still many things waiting for them to do and many difficulties to overcome, this is the right path.
He thought for a while and said very seriously: "I know what Xuan Zheng means when he says this to me. Xuan Zheng can rest assured. As a member of the Xuan Mansion now, I will work with Xuan Zheng to promote this matter with all our strength."
Zhang Yuneng could see that what Yun Chen said was sincere, but relying on the two of them alone was not enough. He would also report the matter to Xuan Ting, thereby gaining a certain amount of initiative and at least gaining more support in name.
After discussing some details with Yun Chen, he said goodbye to him and returned to Kaiyang Academy.
After returning to his residence on Jintai, he sat alone in a quiet room, breathed for a while, then used the "Seal of Visualization" to look through the seals and visualization pictures presented by various sects this time.
This time, except for the Hongshan and Miguang sects, almost all the secrets of the remaining Taoist sects are included in it. This is undoubtedly a huge resource.
After he finished reading these, he looked at himself again and found that the amount of divine energy needed to deduce his own visualization diagram had once again been greatly reduced. Judging from the amount of divine energy he had accumulated now, it seemed to be enough.
It's enough for most of your needs.
However, if there are only a few left that he needs to practice on his own, he doesn't know how long it will take to get them all, so he still needs to look for source energy outside.
At the moment, he can only deduce the visualization diagram, but he does not have enough spiritual energy to practice it, so he can only wait until the existence of the "spirit gate" is confirmed, and then come back to continue to think of a solution.
After careful consideration, he decided not to call the others for the investigation this time, but to do it alone.
Xuan Mansion is still in the process of being integrated, and there is no one in the manor who is really worthy of entrusting life and death to him. Even if there are one or two people, it will not help, and it will not be as flexible as him acting alone.
The most important thing is that when there are more people, things will be easily leaked. If people from the two sects know about it unintentionally, they may be blocked secretly. And if this spreads to the ears of those outside the Taoist sects and sends people to rob them,
This will ruin things.
And he has the treasure given by Xuanfu, plus the Qingyang Wheel borrowed by Zhu Xuanshou, which is enough to protect himself.
At this time, he glanced at the "True Spirit of Knowledge" on the desk. It was a pity that this thing had not yet been enlightened. Otherwise, he could have brought it with him this time to help him perfect the "Seal of Foresight."
He shifted his gaze, stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and walked out of the quiet room.
And shortly after he left, a faint blue light flickered on the gap between the "spiritual house", but after a while, it fell silent again.
Zhang Yulai went outside, and after making some preparations, he went to the academy to take leave. When he came back, he called Li Qinghe and told him: "I will be away for a while in the near future. You, Qingshu, Qingxi
Take good care of the place where you live, and if there are visitors, write down their names and wait until I come back."
Li Qinghe followed him from Dongting and was very familiar with his style of doing things. He immediately understood that his husband was about to do something important. He solemnly said: "Qinghe has written it down, sir, be careful."
In order to ensure the secrecy of his actions this time and prevent others from spying on his whereabouts, Zhang Yu first took a flying boat towards Juzhou, creating the illusion of going to Xuanfu. After stopping in Wei County, he took off directly into the air.
, fled to the south.
To the southwest of Qingyang Shangzhou, where Hunxiu was originally stationed, a huge diamond-shaped crystal jade was erected in the center.
In the surrounding area, ships shaped like giant whales are constantly coming and going, constantly carrying various materials and supplies here, and new roads, wells, buildings, factories and defensive fortresses are being erected rapidly one after another.
The camp is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Since this place is relatively close to the "boundary gap", and after decades of management by Li Mo and others, all conditions are met, so the people of Shuangzhou have long regarded this place as an important fulcrum for their control of the "boundary gap"
Already.
In the next period of time, Shuangzhou will continue to transport war ships and armored sergeants. If it is not afraid that the move will be too big and attract the attention of the Qingyang Shangzhou Prefecture, there will be no problem even if the scale can be expanded ten times compared to the current level.
.
At this time, Li Mo's crystal jade giant, which he had captured before, brought his men down to the berthing platform. He watched a huge spaceship slowly mooring in mid-air. When the hatch opened, a gleaming crystal jade appeared.
When the stairs were paved, groups of crystal jade giants with mysterious weapons on their shoulders came down and formed a queue below.
Amid everyone's nervous gazes, a tall figure finally walked out.
He also wears a crystal jade outer armor, but he is more than two feet tall, which is twice the size of an ordinary crystal jade giant. Moreover, the outer armor is covered with layers of thick textures, making it look very oppressive.
He stood there and glanced at the group of people waiting below. Then he lowered his head involuntarily. After a while, he said in a low voice: "How are the preparations going?"
The female crystal jade giant held her fists respectfully and said: "Guard Army, all the teams in the camp are ready and ready to go at any time!"
