On the fifth day of the sixth month of the Daxuan Calendar, after Zhang Yu had arranged everything in the academy, he drove his flying boat in the direction of Qianzhou alone.
Because there was no news from Taoist Wanming yet, he decided to find Fan Lan, Qi Wu and others first, and try to get them to take their disciples to move to the gap, so that he could start the search for the outer continent as soon as possible.
.
Sitting in the flying boat, he was also thinking about his spiritual practice.
With the current progress, by the end of this month, he will almost be able to obtain enough divine energy from the gold-sealing ring to observe and read the second layer of the visualization map. As for the seal that he does not recognize, then
You can try to learn to find it during this time.
After entering the second level, he will gain two more magical powers, which will greatly improve his combat power.
Two days later, Feizhou arrived at Gaoping County in Wangzhou. Since Yantai Academy was located here, he decided to stop here for a while and visit Liu Guang and Mr. Lu.
Because Wangzhou happens to be located in the heart of Qingyang Shangzhou, which can be said to be the hub of all states, so although Yantai Academy has nothing to do with the military government, it also built a Bozhou rooftop, which saved him a lot of time.
Anyway, there is no need to find another place to park, we can just land in the academy.
After getting off the boat, he originally planned to go to Liu Guang's house first, but when he found the land, he was told that Liu Guang and two teachers went to study in other continents, so he could only leave a letter and forward it to Liu Guang.
Come over and visit Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu had a great reputation in the academy. After a brief inquiry, an enthusiastic young female student took him to a tower near the lake and asked someone to go up and report it.
After a while, Ye Silan came out to welcome him. She bowed and said happily: "Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect you to come. Please come in quickly."
Zhang Yu thanked the female student who brought him here, and then followed Ye Silan into the balcony, passed the front hall, and entered the living room. He saw Mr. Lu sitting on a push chair, facing him there.
He bowed his head and said politely: "Mr. Zhang, the little old man is ill. Please forgive me for not being polite enough."
Zhang Yu also bowed, his eyes fell on his legs and feet covered with soft blankets, and said: "Mr. Lu, what's going on?"
Mr. Lu smiled bitterly and patted his legs in fear, and sighed: "I don't know what happened, but I suddenly couldn't walk a few days ago. I asked a doctor to come and see him. He used a lot of medicine and moxibustion, but nothing happened."
Still no improvement.”
Zhang Yu glanced at it for a few times, and with the help of his mind's light, he immediately identified that there was a mysterious force lingering in Mr. Lu's body, blocking the blood vessels of his lower limbs. He thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Lu has been in contact with some ancient objects recently.
?”
Mr. Lu smiled and said: "I deal with antiquities all day long. How can I let go of them one day? But when it comes to special ones, well..." He thought for a moment, "Recently I found a stone tablet with unknown words written on it. It's a pity that
This stone slab was sent to an old friend for tasting. If it were here, Mr. Zhang would not be able to see it."
Ye Silan came up with an idea at this time: "Mr. Lu, you can let Mr. Zhang stay here for a few days. Mr. Li won't be able to see him for long. I think he should come back in a few days."
Mr. Lu thought for a while, nodded, raised his head and said to Zhang Yu: "If Mr. Zhang doesn't dislike it, how about staying here for a while? I'm also very interested in the ancient country in Dongting that Mr. Zhang mentioned last time."
Zhang Yudao: "Thank you, Mr. Lu. I passed by this place on business this time. I won't be able to stay for long. I have to find another opportunity next time."
Mr. Lu said with some regret: "That's a pity."
Seeing that he was inconvenienced, Zhang Yu did not stay here longer. After chatting for a few words, he stood up and left. Before leaving, he left a bottle of elixir and took a pen to write down a set of breathing techniques.
He said: "In fact, there is nothing serious about Mr. Lu. He is just infected by evil spirits. Use this pill to coordinate your breathing. It can take as fast as three to five days, or as slow as ten or ten days. You should be able to stand up again."
Mr. Lu is a restless person. He has been sitting on the push chair these days, which is really a kind of torture. Now that he heard that he could walk again, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He immediately asked the servant behind him to put it away solemnly, and then said: "
Silan, see Mr. Zhang off for me."
Zhang Yu walked out of Lu's old residence and said goodbye to Ye Silan in front of the door. He went all the way back to the Tianzhou berthing platform, boarded the flying boat, and continued to fly northeast.
After another day's journey, the flying boat entered Qianzhou, which is the northernmost seaside land of Qingyang Shangzhou. The entire state and county is on a high terrain, guarding the sea gate in the northeast of Qingyang Shangzhou like a watchtower.
Dingzheng Academy is located in Taichang County, Qianzhou Prefecture. After the flying boat stopped at Tabotai, it took less than half a summer to find the front door of the academy.
The Academy occupies a vast area. Along the central axis, there are many main halls with double eaves and hilltops. They are all located on the auxiliary steps. The corridors and walls on both sides are tall. In front of the door, there are large black pagodas on the left and right. The layout is grand. There are more buildings around.
It is surrounded by green pines and cypress trees, with lush branches and leaves.
There was an old man cleaning fallen leaves in front of the door. When he saw him coming, he put down his things, bowed and said, "This gentleman is polite. Are you here to practice or to visit Taoism?"
Zhang Yu raised his hand in return and said, "I'm here to visit some of my colleagues."
The old man asked a few questions and heard that he was looking for Fan Lan. Qi and Wu suddenly said: "It turns out it's Mr. Fan and Mr. Qi. They are here. They are all here." He turned sideways and pointed back.
"Both gentlemen are in the third entrance hall."
Zhang Yu thanked the old man and came inside. There were obviously not many people here. It could be seen that except for some recruited servants, most of the place was still empty.
He walked all the way outside the main hall, but saw Fan Lan giving a sermon inside, Qi Wu sitting on the other side, and more than sixty disciples sitting below, most of them were Xuanfu disciples from the East Courtyard, and there were also some
Don't know him.
After such a long time, Fan Lan and Qi Wu have suddenly entered the third chapter of the book, and are considered to be upper-middle monks. However, if they were not limited by the lack of progress in the past, they would have entered this state long ago.
.
Because he did not disturb the two of them, he stood outside and waited.
About half summer time, a chime bell rang. Fan Lan and Qi Wu dispersed the students, and then Shi Shiran walked out. However, the two of them had just stepped across the threshold in front of the hall. When they looked up, they saw
Zhang Yu stood there with his sleeves down, looking surprised, "Junior Brother Zhang?"
They straightened their clothes, came up and bowed their hands, saying: "Xuanzheng is polite."
Zhang Yu replied with a courtesy and said: "Senior Brother Fan, Senior Brother Qi, there is no need to be so polite in private."
Fan Lan was very familiar with him. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then we won't be polite to our junior brother."
He invited Zhang Yu to come inside, first ordered someone to make tea, and then invited Zhang Yu to sit down and said: "Junior Brother Qi and I heard that Junior Brother received the imperial edict from Xuanting and appointed Xuan Zheng. We are also happy for Junior Brother.
It's time to congratulate me, but I think that my junior brother is busy with business, so I won't bother you in the future."
Zhang Yu chatted with the two for a while and then said: "I just saw that many of the disciples are new to me, but are these two new disciples accepted by the two senior brothers?"
Fan Lan said: "Many of them are the descendants of the servants here. They also served for the academy sixty years ago, so I allow them to listen to the sermon together, as well as some children of nearby fishermen. Qianzhou is originally a military city."
There is a shortage of private schools in the state, so these children have difficulty in going to school, so they are sent to us. Some of them are quite spiritual."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "When I came here, I saw that many people outside seemed to be evacuating. Is this an arrangement between the two governments?"
Fan Lan nodded and said: "Qianzhou is adjacent to the Northeast Sea. Now it is said that a war is about to begin in the north. Because there may be monsters coming from the sea after the war, the people in the state are gradually evacuating inland."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. No wonder it was so easy to get the grand palace in Qianzhou back. It seemed that the people behind it knew that the war was coming. If there was a war here, nothing would be left.
He said: "In this case, if I ask the two senior brothers and the disciples to change their lives, will the two senior brothers be willing?"
Fan Lan and Qi Wu looked at each other, and Fan Lan cupped his hands and said, "If Junior Brother Zhang has any instructions, just take care of him and we will do our best."
Qi Wu also nodded.
General Zhang Yu briefly talked about the matter of Jie Gap and said: "This Jie Gap is related to Xuanfu and external communication. However, the situation in the continent is a bit complicated now. Although I have many people around me, I lack reliable people, so I would like to invite
The two senior brothers stationed themselves within the boundary gap and went to visit the other side to see if they could find another Shangzhou. I will also record these things according to their merits and list them in the Xuanfu merit book."
To be honest, now that the war is approaching, if the disciples in the East Courtyard stay here, they will inevitably be involved in the war.
But in fact, there is no shortage of people like them here. Instead, they can continue to preach elsewhere, or find other continents in another section of the boundary, which can play a greater role than here.
Fan Lan's expression became serious and he said: "It turns out that this is what happened. Since junior brother can trust us, we should go there."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Okay, then this matter is settled."
While they were talking, the sky suddenly darkened, and it looked like it was going to rain. The old man outside the door looked up and muttered: "In Qianzhou, there are so many seafood that we can't eat them all. It's the weather like this.
Always change as you say."
At this time, Zhang Yu heard a rumble in the distance. His eyes moved and he turned his head outward. Then he rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and walked out of the palace. Fan Lan and Qi Wu looked at each other.
, also stood up and walked out together.
Just then another rumble came.
Fan Lan frowned and said, "There's something wrong with that sound."
Qi Wu was a little unsure and asked: "Is it thunder?"
Zhang Yu looked in one direction and said, "No, it's the sound of Xuan soldiers bombarding me."
Just as he finished speaking, they heard a roaring sound. Fan Lan and Qi Wu looked up and saw above the clouds above their heads, one airship after another flying towards the north. After one group passed by, another
It was a batch, and the rumbling sounds in the distance were accompanied by real thunder one after another, and became more and more intensive.
Zhang Yu looked at the northern sky and the flashes of light in the thick clouds, and said: "The war has begun."
