Zhang Yu stayed outside the territory for two days, and after discussing some matters with Taoist Wan Ming, he returned to Kaiyang Academy.
Although he agreed with Wu Ze to go to the boundary gap, he was not in a hurry to do it. He still needed him to complete some things for him.
After returning to the study, he took out a metal box from the purple gold bag and opened it on the table. There were several jade pendants inside, each with exquisite shapes and different shapes.
This was built by Wu Ze within two days after he mentioned it that day.
It turns out that although those thin slices are small, their function is unknown. Except for those who are really familiar with each other, they are not really carried with them. Moreover, they have to be brought back to distinguish them, which is too troublesome.
But this jade pendant is different. After wearing it, if a creator appears nearby, the temperature will change and it will tremble slightly.
But Wu Ze also said that the reason why he didn't use this skill before was not that he couldn't do it, but that the creators now probably have a way to shield this thing, and this thing is also defective. If a normal person carries it,
Creation, this thing may respond.
But this thing still has some use after all, at least it can give him a reminder.
He took a look and saw that there were a total of five jade pendants in the box. After thinking about it, he took one and put it into his sleeve. When he saw the remaining four facing each other and neatly placed in one place, he nodded.
The box was closed.
At this time, he picked up the newspaper and read it. In just a few days, there were not many changes in the war in the north, so he put it aside and went to the top floor to tease Mr. Miaodan for a while, and then went to the quiet room to meditate.
practice.
On the second day, he first dealt with the affairs of the Academy, and in the afternoon, he took a flying boat to Wangzhou.
Along the way, he saw Dou Zhan flying boats coming and going constantly, and he also saw monks flying past from time to time. The security in the continent was much tighter than last month.
After two days of boating, he entered Wangzhou, landed on the berthing platform of Yantai Academy, and after stepping out of the hatch, he went to Mr. Lu's house.
Mr. Lu has taken the medicine given by Zhang Yu since last time, and practiced the breathing method taught by Zhang Yu, and he can stand up and walk as before. However, his weakened muscles have not been able to recover at once.
Ye Silan came to thank him on his behalf. Now that he heard that Zhang Yu had arrived again, he was very happy. With the support of his servants, he personally welcomed him out, welcomed him into the house, and treated him with good tea.
After chatting with Zhang Yu for a few words, I heard that he wanted to see the ancient collection of Yantai Academy, and he immediately said enthusiastically: "The antiquities displayed outside the Yantai Academy are just ordinary objects. Mr. Zhang doesn't need to go there."
look.
The largest collection in my academy actually has another place to store it. Normally, except for members and students of my antiquities society, I don’t allow outsiders to come in and view it. However, Mr. Zhang has helped me so much. His major is ancient museums.
"Xue, I can vouch for my husband, but it's a bit late today. How about I take Mr. Zhang to have a look tomorrow?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "This will trouble Mr. Lu."
Seeing that it was already sunrise, Mr. Lu immediately ordered people to prepare a dinner. He entertained him well and arranged a suitable residence for him after the banquet.
Zhang Yu rested here for one night as he wished. In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Mr. Lu changed into the clothes of the academy and took him to the Zhixing Terrace located in the middle of the academy on crutches.
This large platform is a hundred feet high, and is surrounded by sapphire masonry. It is solid and thick. It was originally a military fortress. It is said that even the Xuan soldiers can't do anything about it, and it contains enough drinking water for ten thousand people for five years.
When the turbulent tide came sixty years ago, the teachers and students of the academy avoided that period by hiding there.
After Zhang Yu followed Mr. Lu into the interior of the platform, after several inspections, he went underground and finally came to a tall and spacious underground hall. The open corridors here can be said to be like an ant nest extending in all directions.
What you see upon entering are all kinds of exquisite collections.
Mr. Lu proudly introduced: "Since Qingyang Shangzhou was established, most of the treasures and top-grade items collected from outside the territory, except for some that were taken away by the two governments, the rest are placed here. It is also because of my Yantai Academy.
The collection is very rich, and some items are even more unique, so everyone in my academy is allowed to wear the divine robe and mysterious armor."
Zhang Yu asked: "May I ask Mr. Lu, what is the use of the collections taken away by the two governments?"
Mr. Lu shook his head and said: "Everyone wants good things. Some things are exquisite in shape and gorgeous in appearance, so it is inevitable that they will be remembered by others. There are also some ancient objects that have magical powers. It is really difficult to dispose of them here, so we have to
It has been sealed into the treasury of the two houses."
Zhang Yu's heart moved slightly. In fact, if these things have supernatural powers, they should be handed over to Xuanfu, because Xuanfu has always been responsible for confronting and handling supernatural powers.
It should be that the Xuan Palace failed to fulfill this responsibility before, so the two palaces took over.
However, depending on the situation, the two governments were able to handle these things, so they were sealed up.
If this is the case, then he can send an official letter to have those collections transferred and handed over to Xuan Mansion for preservation again. Even if this is not possible, there is no problem if he offers to inspect them.
Generally speaking, things with supernatural power are more likely to contain source energy, so maybe he can get some gains from there.
After a second thought, he followed Mr. Lu to tour the underground palace.
Mr. Lu is very knowledgeable. Whenever he sees a familiar object, he will stop and comment in detail, telling him the origin, background and many testimonials of the object. However, there are too many collections here, so Mr. Lu took him with him with great interest.
After walking for a long time, I only saw one thousandth of the entire collection.
Knowledge is priceless. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Yu would be very willing to continue like this.
But the situation is different now. There is a war going on outside. He needs to find source energy as soon as possible to improve his strength. If he continues at this speed, he may not be able to finish all these things in a few years, so he persuaded Mr. Lu not to work so hard with him.
Just wait and observe by yourself. If you see anything unclear, come back and ask him for advice.
Mr. Lu also knew that his physical strength was weak, and he originally wanted Ye Silan to accompany him, but Zhang Yu declined, so he drafted a letter of guarantee and went back to rest.
After Zhang Yu left, he started to watch alone.
This time things were much simpler. He directly released his heart light sensor. If he didn't feel any heat, he would go to the next level.
The structure of the underground palace collection gradually goes deeper and deeper like a swirling vortex cave. The deeper the collection is, the higher its value is. Most of them are antiquities from the last era or even several eras ago.
Zhang Yu even found nothing after going down three floors. When he reached the fourth floor, he suddenly turned around as if aware of something, and finally stopped in front of a mural. However, judging from the rock behind the mural, it was
A cave painting, and Touzang moved the entire cave intact.
Feeling the wisps of heat passing through him, he walked closer and saw a salamander appearing on the mural, and it depicted a rare frontal view.
You can see that this salamander is staring straight ahead with its fierce eyes, because this mural occupies an entire wall here, as if this thing can crawl out of it at any time.
This reminded him of the salamander he killed when he went to the Dongting Protectorate. However, judging from the contrast between the background and the painting on the mural, its body was entrenched on a continent. If it were this salamander,
The salamander really existed, and it was definitely more powerful than some supernatural gods.
At this time, a group of young men and women, chatting and laughing, turned around from a side corridor and walked towards him. Each of them was wearing the clothes of Yantai Academy, and they were holding a jade plate in their hands.
From time to time, I would compare the ancient objects on both sides and write and draw on them.
One of them looked up and saw Zhang Yu standing in front of the mural with his back to them. He immediately made a vigilant voice and said, "Who is there?"
These students also became nervous one by one. Outsiders were not allowed to come in here at will, and they had not heard that anyone other than their group was here today.
Zhang Yu turned around and said, "Don't panic, everyone. I came here with Mr. Lu, and there are records outside that I can verify."
When the person who spoke earlier saw him, he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "We didn't know about this. I'm really sorry. I hope we didn't disturb you."
The students beside him also saluted and apologized.
Zhang Yu glanced at everyone's faces and said, "It doesn't matter." At this moment, he clearly felt the jade pendant hidden in his sleeve radiating warmth and trembling slightly.
This means that there is probably a creator among this group of students, but we don’t know which one.
It's just that what he needs to solve is the source behind this matter, not a certain creator, so he doesn't say much. He feels that the source energy here is almost absorbed. After taking another look at these students, he continues to the next step.
Go layer by layer.
But after he left, these students still stood there motionless for a long time. Just now when he glanced at them, everyone felt frightened, as if the most secret secrets deep in their hearts had been seen through at a glance, so they were stunned for a moment.
They were all in a trance, and one of the girls, a girl with slightly chubby cheeks, looked at the direction he was leaving in confusion.
Zhang Yu ignored the students and went all the way down. When he reached the eighth floor, he immediately felt a strong heat coming from him.
He turned around and saw that it was a statue of a giant eagle with spread wings. It was huge and occupied half of the hall. The eagle eyes inlaid with amber were shining, and the beak and hook were sharp and curved, making it look menacing.
Like a living thing.
He thought for a moment and realized that there seemed to be plenty of source energy here. However, if he stood here, he might not be able to absorb it all day long, which would be a waste of time. So he took out the gold-sealing ring and let it float to the eagle's wings.
Then continue going down.
And not long after he left, a figure walked down from above, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the golden ring.
