Taoist Wan Ming and Cao Fangding both looked at the picture. Although the people painted by Zhang Yu had no facial features, sometimes it was not necessary to look at the face to distinguish a character.
Some unique people can be distinguished from others simply by looking at their appearance and mannerisms.
Especially monks, it can be said that each one has its own unique spiritual connotation.
Cao Fangding looked at it for a moment and said, "This is Lin Xuansheng."
Taoist Wan Ming looked at them for a few times, then nodded and said, "Fellow Taoist Cao mentioned it this way, there are indeed some similarities."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment, "Lin Xuansheng..."
Before the end of the year, the leaders of various factions from outside the territory re-registered their names in the Xuan Mansion.
What is more reassuring is that none of the leaders of the various factions may be the creator.
Because these people are not real cultivators. Sixty years ago, almost all of them were serious cultivators under Qingyang Xuanfu. Everyone’s birth date was accurately recorded, and they were almost all around two hundred years old. And that one
At that time, the creator's skills had not yet reached the heights they would later achieve.
However, there are still some monks with higher cultivation levels who are not included in the records, such as Lin Xuansheng mentioned by these two people.
He has no specific date of birth, no record of his practice, and he doesn't know when he achieved his meritorious deeds. He had previously inquired and found out that this person had practiced in a Taoist sect called "Sheng Yin".
It's just that this Taoist sect disappeared in a conflict with the Shuangzhou people twenty years ago, so nothing useful can be found. However, the leader of the Shengyin Taoist sect and the Moyun Taoist sect
The Lord Jinchi has a good friendship with the people.
Somewhat coincidentally, these two Taoist sects both fell one after another.
But if this map is really sent by this person, it makes sense. According to rumors, this person has a lot of involvement with the Shuangzhou people. The commander of the Shuangzhou people before seemed to be like this.
Beheaded by human hands.
He said: "I have already read the thing that fellow Taoist Wan Ming gave me just now. It is a map. I infer that it is probably the map of Shuangzhou today."
Taoist Wan Ming was shocked and asked: "A map of Shuangzhou?"
Zhang Yudao: "In my opinion, this is the case. The details need to be verified separately."
Taoist Wan Ming thought for a while and said, "Xuanzheng suspects that the person who delivered the jade box is Lin Xuansheng?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "I have this suspicion. If the map is true, then this person must know more, so I want to find him and ask him face to face."
Cao Fangding raised his head at this time and said: "Xuanzheng, maybe we can find fellow Taoist Xingchuan."
Taoist Wan Ming also said: "Fellow Taoist Xingchuan, maybe he really knows the whereabouts of Lin Xuansheng."
Zhang Yu had also heard of this person's name, because he was also one of the few Xuan Xiu who had great strength but had not established a Taoist sect outside the territory. It was said that he was related to Master Jin Chi who was killed by Xuan Bing.
Even better, after the demise of the Moyun sect, they took the initiative to attack the Shuangzhou people.
He looked at the two of them and said, "You two are telling me, does this Taoist fellow Xingchuan have a relationship with Lin Xuansheng?"
Cao Fang concluded: "Back to Xuanzheng, this is the only person who has more contacts with Lin Xuansheng, and we can only say that we know each other."
At this time, Taoist Wan Ming took the initiative and said: "No one knows where Taoist friend Xingchuan lives in seclusion, but I think there are a few places he might go to, and I might be able to go there for Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yudao: "Then I would like to trouble fellow Taoist Wan Ming and his party. If this fellow Taoist has any requests, he can come back and talk to me."
Taoist Wan Ming bowed his hands in agreement.
After Zhang Yu waited for the two of them to go out, he returned to the desk, put away the picture, and then sat down to wait for the news.
He originally thought that Taoist Wan Ming's search would take some time to get results, but he didn't expect that just one day later, Wan Ming would bring him back and bring him directly to him.
Zhang Yu looked around and saw that the person who came had a very young face. He was wearing a golden Taoist robe. He was thin and tall, but his brows were high-spirited and his body had an unstoppable energy.
The man looked at him for a few times, and couldn't help but look surprised. Then he raised his hand and bowed to him, and said loudly: "I have met Zhang Xuanzheng in Xingchuan. I heard from fellow Taoist Wan Ming that Xuanzheng intends to deal with the Shuangzhou people.
If Xuan Zheng is really planning to do this, then I will help Xuan Zheng find someone. If Xuan Zheng has no such plan, then I will leave now and not cause trouble here."
Zhang Yu could see that this was a person with a straight temper. There was no need to hide such a person, so he told him bluntly: "The Qingyang people from Shuangzhou are a great threat and must be eradicated, but we must be prepared and safe.
I will not risk the lives of my colleagues in Xuanfu."
Taoist Xingchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then please Xuan Zheng, please allow me half a month. If you meet me here again in half a month, I will bring you there." After saying that, he bowed again, turned around and walked out.
.
Taoist Wan Ming said: "Xuanzheng, forgive me, this fellow Taoist Xingchuan has this kind of temper."
Zhang Yudao: "No problem, this fellow Taoist has a pure mind. It can be seen that he is a person who will never look back until he sees the results. Since he has taken over this matter, we don't have to worry too much."
He stayed outside the territory for a few more days, then returned to Kaiyang Academy. After returning to Jintai, he received a letter from Tao Dingfu. It said that because he had been working closely with some Taoist friends these days,
He was building a flying boat, so he had no time to go out, but he was very interested in the Shuangzhou people's giant boat mentioned by Zhang Yu, and said that he would come out to see this thing after finishing the work at hand.
The letter went on to say that the person Zhang Yu asked him to inquire about last time had found out something.
There is indeed a true cultivator in the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm who once served as a disciple under Zhu Xuan. His name is unknown, and all the cultivators call him "Master Baixiu". It is said that this person has great skills and once competed with Lingmiao.
True cultivators at the same level in the Mysterious Realm have all been certified, and it is said that they have never been defeated in countless battles.
It's just that this person's whereabouts are elusive and he has not set up a permanent residence in the spiritual and mysterious realm. Especially in the past ten years, he has rarely been seen. No one knows where he is at present.
After reading the letter, Zhang Yu looked thoughtful.
In the old days of Tianxia, the title "Shang Ren" refers to a Taoist who has a certain level of cultivation, can guide others to practice, and has certain magical powers. People with this title must have extraordinary means.
However, because this title was not listed as a correct name by Xuanting, it is no longer strictly regulated now.
For example, Master Jin Chi, because he is the leader of a sect and has many disciples, he can barely deserve this title. However, this is just his self-proclaimed name, which is very different from the ancient meaning.
But this Master Bai Xiu is a true cultivator. If he can be called such a person, he must be really capable. In particular, it seems that his apprenticeship is not simple. Zhu Xuanshou's fellow practitioner and friend is probably also a high-ranking person.
monk.
He thought deeply for a moment. The person mentioned by Zhu Li, Zhong Lie, Mei Yizhi and others was probably this person. After all, only a true cultivator who has passed down the tradition for a long time can master a magic weapon like the Thunder Sky Pearl.
Not everyone can refine it.
Moreover, he suspected that the lost golden tripod in the treasury was also related to this person. Originally, he wanted to confirm the specific matters here with Zhu Xuanshou, but when he met Zhu Xuanshou in retreat, he could only wait until the end of the month to talk about it.
Although Bai Xiu is a true cultivator, if he violates the rules of Xuanfu, then he has his own legal principles to arrest him. However, this person's identity is sensitive and there are big connections behind him, so he needs to work hard to do this.
The ruins in the southwest of Qingyang Shangzhou are thousands of feet deep underground.
A tall man wearing a hooded smock rode the descending stairway to the bottom of the fortress. The rear hatch opened, and a dimly lit metal hatchway appeared in front.
At this moment, he heard a reverberating voice in his ears, "Go forward."
The tall man immediately moved forward along the cabin. There was no one in the underground, only his footsteps echoed in all directions.
After walking for about half a moment, a circular hatch appeared in front of him. As he approached, a burst of mist spewed out from both sides, and then the hatch suddenly swung open.
He walked in and saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting in the room, but his body was very strong. He was sitting there playing with a long metal insect about ten feet long on the table.
When the old man heard the person coming in, he didn't look back and said directly: "Tell me, what's going on this time?"
The tall man lifted his hood, revealing a withered white face, sunken cheeks, and light yellow eyes. There was no hair on his head. He was obviously a Shuangzhou person, but the skin on his neck and forehead was thicker.
Relaxed, he looks very old.
He said: "Can't you guess the purpose of my visit this time?"
The sturdy old man seemed to have a bad temper. He sneered and said without stopping his hands: "I never play riddles when I have something to say."
The tall man looked at him and said: "You must be aware of that person. He has now integrated the Xuan Palace and will definitely cause trouble for us. I hope you can get rid of him as soon as possible and don't let him interfere with our plans.
"
The sturdy old man said angrily: "Your demands are too high. Now we don't have the power to deal with him."
The tall man said: "I know you still have some allies..."
The sturdy old man interrupted him and said: "That's really unfortunate. Our ally has already taken action a few days ago, but it was also unsuccessful. Don't expect anything in the short term."
The tall man fell into silence.
The sturdy old man said impatiently: "If nothing happens, just leave."
The tall man refused to give up, saying: "What about the outer armor we worked with you to build before? Don't you just need to test the power of the outer armor? Isn't this person a suitable target?"
The sturdy old man glared at him and said: "Are you kidding? How can this thing be taken out casually? We will only choose the objects we want to test on the battlefield, so why bother to look for them now? This will happen again.
Expose ourselves. I don’t want to be targeted by this person right now.”
The tall man looked at him and said, "What about that thing we use in exchange?"
"Oh?" The sturdy old man turned around and showed a serious expression for the first time, "Are you serious?"
The tall man said: "I'm sure."
The sturdy old man stretched out his hands to rub his face, then put them down, and said with stern eyes: "Then it depends on when you deliver the things, and when we will take action."
