After Zhang Yu moved into Changdao Sect's Residence Garden, he looked through the Taoist seals and secret laws and regulations presented by Xue and Si every day.
In addition to these, he now also has Fu Yu and Fangtai's seal secrets in his hands. In addition, Taoist Wanming has also handed over the seal secrets he has collected over the years.
Reading these seal secrets also gave him great inspiration.
Even though his current visualization map has entered the "Chapter of Mysterious Harmony" after completing the third level, the visualization map is not static, but needs to be continuously supplemented and improved.
And in this process, the magical power possessed by the visualization map will also become more powerful.
On the third day after the letter of advice was issued, three Taoist sects responded, declaring that they were willing to hand over their seals and return to Xuanfu.
Judging from the time, these Taoist sects almost all made decisions within one or two days after the persuasion arrived.
There is one main reason why things went so smoothly, and that is that this time it was the elders of Chengchangdao Sect who took the initiative to persuade, which gave all the sects a huge shock.
After all, the Chengchang Taoist sect is recognized as the strongest among the Taoist sects outside the region. Even they have surrendered, so how can they have the strength to resist?
Moreover, various sects can also feel that the current situation is different from the past. Shuangzhou is aggressive and destroys Taoist sects one after another. All sects are also sad. Rather than being destroyed by Shuangzhou people, it is better to choose to restore the old situation.
Xuanfu.
Of course, Zhang Yu's status as Xuanzheng, who was conferred by Xuanting's edict, also played a big role. As Cao Fangding said, they used to hide outside the territory because they didn't like doing things for the two houses, but if Xuanfu still
Strong, so why is it so?
Since Xuanfu has made it clear that it wants to regain power and seems to have the ability, they are naturally willing to follow.
In the next five days, all the remaining Taoist sects were willing to return to Xuanfu, and wrote to Zhang Yu and Yun Chen, saying that they would go to Chengchang Taoist sect to present the seal secret method in a few days.
If this situation continues and wait until the monks from each sect arrive, then the external sects will complete the formal unification.
Taoist Wan Ming maintained a certain degree of caution about this. He tried to remind Zhang Yu, "Xuanzheng, the news should have spread by now. If the people of Shuangzhou know what we are doing, they will definitely not sit back and watch us unite the various parties."
Sent."
Zhang Yu agreed with him. Shuangzhou's biggest opponent now was Xuanfu. The purpose of wiping out the forced landing outsider sect was undoubtedly to weaken Xuanfu.
And if the outsider Taoist sect returns to Xuanfu, it will not be in Shuangzhou's interests. If he were the opponent, he would definitely do everything possible to sabotage this matter.
The most likely option for this generation now is to mobilize forces and launch an attack on the Chengchang Dao Sect that is isolated outside the territory. If they can all be killed, then this matter can be fundamentally solved once and for all.
But if he chose to stay here, wouldn't he have a similar plan?
Gaolu Mountain is one of the places where the Hongshan Taoist sect is stationed. The mountains with blooming flowers are dotted with magnificent palace buildings.
After all, this is within the continent, and all the buildings are exquisite and gorgeous. Compared with the Taoist pavilions outside the territory, they can only barely be said to be able to accommodate them.
The disciples who come and go within the sect are all dressed neatly and beautifully, with a natural and arrogant air on their faces.
In the lobby of the inner hall, the faction leader Zhong Lie is sitting on a jade couch. He has a majestic face, a long beard, and slightly larger earlobes that hang down to the top of his shoulders.
At this moment, he was looking carefully at the letter that had just been presented to him. After reading it, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. After a while, he said, "Are you sure?"
The disciple standing below was careful, lowered his head and said: "I don't dare to be negligent. We only sent it to the sect leader after confirming it several times."
Zhong Lie stroked his beard for a long time and said, "Go down."
The disciple felt relieved, bowed and left the hall.
Zhong Lie sat for a while, then got off the jade couch and walked along the back corridor to a raised platform. It faced the large lake in the distance and had a very wide view. Occasionally, a few cranes playing leisurely could be seen in the reed swamps.
.
He took out a jade-colored talisman from his sleeve and flicked it gently. After it reached mid-air, a flying crane came and grabbed the talisman with its claws. It then let out a clear chirp and quickly fluttered its wings and flew away.
He opened his robe sleeves and sat down on the cushions on the platform.
The sky quickly dimmed, and he still sat there motionless.
The night passed, and when it was almost dawn, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill. When he opened his eyes, he saw a woman in snow clothes in front of him.
The woman's body exudes a clear light. Her face is delicate, her skin is white, and her lips are beautiful, but her temperament is cold, like a white lotus blooming on a snowy peak.
Zhong Lie said: "Master Mei Sect, you are here."
The woman in snow clothes just looked at him with an indifferent expression.
Zhong Lie didn't care about her attitude. In fact, based on their relationship, it was already very polite for the other party to treat him like this. He continued, "I guess you also received the news from over there."
The woman in snow clothes finally spoke up this time. Her voice was as cold as her own, but unexpectedly sweet, "Yes, I saw it, we have lost."
Zhong Lie looked at her and said, "Why do you think so?"
The woman in snow clothes said coldly: "Isn't this obvious? Once the Outer Territory Taoist sects merge, will our two sects still have meaning to exist? With our strength, there is no way to integrate the Xuanfu after the Outer Territory Taoist sects.
"
Zhong Lie looked very calm and said: "No, the matter has not reached the point of irreversibility. Master Mei, what you are talking about actually depends on a key point, or one person."
The woman in snow clothes changed her expression, showing a look of serious thought.
Zhong Lie looked at her and said: "I think Master Mei has also thought that as long as that person cannot come back, everything will follow the old pattern and there will be no changes."
The woman in snow clothes showed hesitation in her beautiful eyes, but in the end she still raised her head and said: "What do you want to do?"
Zhong Lie showed a pleasant expression and said: "Although I think that even if we don't do anything, some people who don't want to see things like this happen will complete it, but sometimes, things are often lacking a little bit.
A little help failed to achieve its intended effect, so I think we might be able to add some more chips to it."
The woman in snow clothes frowned and said, "Let me think about it."
Zhong Lie reminded her: "Then I hope you can hurry up, we don't have much time."
The woman in snow clothes ignored his urging. After a while, her expression became determined and she said: "I will try to use my past favors to try, but not for the reasons you said. Even if I lose, I don't want to lose."
There is no way to fight back."
Zhong Lie nodded and said: "No matter what, Master Mei made a right decision." He slowly stood up, "I will also mobilize all my power to stop this matter," he looked at the woman in snow clothes.
, "Even if we need to go into battle in person in the end."
The woman in snow clothes ignored him and disappeared as a breeze blew by.
At this moment, a team of carriages and horses was coming towards Juzhou, and the carriages were being pulled by four tall and strong creation horses.
In today's Qingyang Shangzhou, in addition to towns and villages, most people in prefectures and counties use Kuntu or Lintu boats to travel, and many people are already willing to take slower carriages.
In the carriage was a young man in his twenties. He was leaning on a soft and thick brocade cushion. He looked very relaxed. In his hand he was playing with a pig-dragon jade dagger, which was made entirely of green jade.
, transparent and moist, with elegant shape.
The carriage could feel a slight bump. After a while, he felt sleepy, so he leaned there and fell asleep.
When he woke up, he found that the setting sun was shining in, and he asked: "Where are you?"
The coachman's words rang out at this time: "Sir, we have entered Anshou County, and we will soon reach Qingyang Xuanfu."
The convoy traveled along the slightly bumpy road of Anshou County until it reached the bank of the inner lake in the city. A servant came forward and had a conversation with the man driving the boat. Then the young man got off the carriage and took a servant with him.
After boarding the boat, we headed to the island in the middle of the lake.
Not long after, the ship arrived at the shore.
Taoist Mingshan was already standing there. He waited for the young man to come ashore and then saluted him and said, "I am a poor Taoist, Mingshan. This is the location of Qingyang Xuanfu. What are you doing here?"
The young man came up and crossed his hands, bowed slightly forward with his upper body, saluted and said: "Yuan Bing, Le County, my ancestor is an old friend of Zhu Xuanshou. I hereby come to request to see Zhu Xuanshou." As he said that, he took out the green coin.
Jade dagger and handed it over.
Taoist Mingshan took it. He could see at a glance that this thing was carved with magic power. The lines of the dagger were simple and simple, and there was a familiar meaning on it. His originally distant tone suddenly became slightly gentler and said:
"Then please invite the two distinguished guests to wait for a while in the guest hall."
He called an assistant and asked him to take the two of them to the side hall to wait, while he took the green jade dagger to the Crane Hall.
Not long after he left, he turned back and said: "Yuan Shaolang, Mr. Xuanshou has invited you."
Yuan Bin followed him into the main hall. Taoist Mingshan pushed him gently from behind. He felt light all over his body. After a trance, he saw that he had arrived on a high platform, looking at the clouds and mist around him.
His legs were weak, but he quickly controlled himself.
At this time, a voice came from the front and said: "Are you a descendant of Yuan Ze?"
Yuan Bing looked over and saw a Taoist priest in green sitting there, holding the jade dagger he presented before. He hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, the villain Yuan Bing, Yuan Ze is the ancestor."
Zhu Xuanshou said quietly: "I owed Mengze a favor back then. Now you bring this thing as a way to settle this debt. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Yuan Bing took a deep breath, bowed respectfully, and said: "I heard that Zhu Xuanshou carries a treasure with him, called the Qingyang Wheel. I have nothing to ask for but to have a look at this treasure."
Zhu Xuanshou said with an indifferent expression: "This treasure is not with me. If you want to see it, you can wait for a while."
But Yuan Bing insisted: "No, I want to see it now. I wonder if Xuanshou will allow it?"
