After Zhang Yu had a conversation with Wu Ze, he collected the Xuan soldiers, walked out, and sat for a while in the cottage built by Fan Lan, Qi Wu, and others.
There is no result yet on the other side of the gap, but this matter is not urgent at the moment.
He has now reached the fourth chapter of his cultivation, and after Xuanfu merged with various factions, the seal secrets he obtained are still being sorted and summarized. In addition to the war in the north, there are also constant conflicts with the Shuangzhou people.
It has never stopped, and the exchanges with other continents can still be put aside.
After meeting with Fan and Qi, he gave some pointers to Yan Yuming and Zheng Xiaolang, and then walked out of the gap.
The sky outside the gap was very bright, with sparse clouds floating in the clear blue sky. Cloud shadows and golden light flowed on the reddish-brown cracked rocks outside the Great Rift Valley. He noticed an eagle flying from the zenith.
It flew over and let out a long eagle cry.
He took a deep breath, and the unique refreshing breath of the lakeside fell into his heart.
After resurrecting his life, he looked at the world with a brand-new mentality. After all, compared to the dead, cold and rigid world in his previous life, even though this world had many flaws, it was countless times better than that.
Having experienced death and rebirth, he understands better than anyone else the preciousness of life and the beauty of the world. Such a world is worth his efforts to maintain.
He took one more look at the vast world, and then he rose into the sky, his sleeves and robes fluttering, surrounded by rainbow light and jade mist, and he flew into the clouds against the ray of sunlight.
After returning to the Fangtai station, he walked into the large platform and looked after the disciples on duty here: "Let all fellow Taoists come to my place."
The disciple hurried down to deliver the order.
After a while, all the Chapter 4 monks who were stationed in the square platform came to the big platform. When they saw him standing there, they all came up to pay respect to him.
When Zhang Yu saw that everyone had arrived, he came to the stage in front. With a wave of his sleeve, golden light spread out, and a map of Shuangzhou was displayed on the glazed wall in front.
Thanks to the efforts of Cao Fangding and others, the content displayed above is no longer the original rough outline, but has dense and complicated markings. Some of the more important buildings built by the Shuangzhou people under the state land are now in the
You can find it all here.
The only flaw is that the specific military strength of Mizhou is still unknown. Although he should be able to find out with more time, he just doesn't have that time.
The people of Shuangzhou have successively sent flying boats and men to attack and test their area. It seems that they have no plans to stop now. Therefore, they must not wait for the other party to come to their door, but must take the initiative to attack.
He turned around, stood on the stage with his sleeves folded, looked at the crowd and said: "Friends Cao Dao and Wen are bringing back more and more things. I think the time is ripe, so I am planning to launch a campaign against Shuangzhou in one month."
Raid.”
The hearts of all the cultivators in the audience were slightly shocked.
Although they had already prepared for this, they didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Zhang Yu glanced down and said: "In order to ensure the success of this trip, we need to clear all the Shuangzhou outposts and garrison camps in the wasteland first."
A monk in the audience asked: "All?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Everything."
He looked around and said: "I think you all have seen it. These days, I have sent many disciples out to investigate, in order to find the outposts of Shuangzhou people. Only in this way can Shuangzhou completely lose its eyes and ears.
, This will help us to act down."
Another monk spoke up and said: "But Xuanzheng, what should we do with those creations? Some tiny creations may be difficult to clean, and they are also one of the eyes and ears of the Shuangzhou people."
Zhang Yudao: "Don't worry about those for now. I have already asked some craftsmen in the continent. Most of these tiny creations have low intelligence. With the skills of the people in Shuangzhou now, if they lose their outpost station, it is impossible to transmit the exact news back in time."
, even if it can be passed on, it is specious and not a cause for concern."
Then he gave a general explanation, set a time limit, and asked everyone to go back and make arrangements first, leaving only Wen Liang and Taoist Wan Ming behind.
After everyone dispersed, he invited the two of them to sit down, placed the twenty-six mysterious weapons he had retrieved on the table, and said, "This raid is far away, so we can do it with our own strength."
There are some shortcomings, so I prepared these mysterious soldiers to help.
It’s just that you two also know that things like this are easily affected by the turbid tide. When we escape quickly, we often cannot carry them with us. Therefore, we need to send these things to Shuangzhou for placement first, and wait until I arrive with my troops.
Taking it out again is very important, so I am going to entrust it to you two."
Taoist Wan Ming's expression became serious, he cupped his hands and said, "Since Xuan Zheng has entrusted this matter to us, we will do our best to get it done."
Wen Liang also held his hands solemnly and said, "I dare not try my best."
Zhang Yu nodded, and then explained to the two of them in detail, he asked them to go down and prepare first, and then come back to get the mysterious weapons before setting off.
After the two left, he stepped out of the stage and looked to the west at the dusk clouds that were stained with crimson color.
He estimated that it would take about one to two months to complete all the preliminary preparations.
According to the news he got from the north, the military barriers of the two governments pushing northward have gradually approached the limit of Taibo's monsters, and a war between the two sides is very likely to break out in the near future.
Even if he doesn't move here, Shuangzhou will definitely make another move, so he is planning to try to hit Mizhou hard this time so that it will no longer be able to threaten Qingyang's flanks in a short period of time.
And just to the west of the wasteland, on the road originally used for external traffic by the Changdao Sect, three figures appeared at this moment.
Xia Houming and Qian Zhong looked ahead, feeling filled with emotion.
The trip that lasted for more than a year finally came to an end. This time they set out with a total of eleven people. In addition to the disciples of Chengchang Dao Sect, they also found many monks who had returned from overseas but had no identity background. But in the end they were alive.
But they were the only two people who came back.
They experienced too many dangers and ups and downs along the way, but fortunately they finally returned safely.
This time, although they failed to exchange new seals and secret techniques, they did bring back one person.
Right next to them at this moment, there was a Taoist priest in white clothes with a handsome appearance and a jade-like face. Although the sky was full of flying ashes, his clothes and hair were spotless.
This was an alien monk with extremely high cultivation, and the two of them relied on him to save their lives on the way back.
It's just that he has always kept silent about his identity, and the two of them are too sensible to ask more questions. As long as both parties can communicate and gain something, identity is not really important, as long as they know each other.
It’s fine if you are from Tianxia.
At this time, Xia Houming looked at a stone monument on the side of the road, stretched out his hand and said, "Fellow Taoist Zhe, this is the Dingxing monument that I set up here in Chengchang Dao Sect. After this generation, you can go a little way ahead."
We have returned to the station where I was stationed on Changchang Road. Once there, we can have a good rest."
Taoist Zhe nodded, with a reserved look on his face.
The two of them didn't pay attention. This man was indeed capable and there was nothing arrogant about him.
However, after the three of them walked for a while and arrived at the original location of the Chengchang Taoist Sect, Xia Houming and Qian Zhong looked shocked.
There was only a dead gray land left in front of them, and ashes-like dust was floating in the sky. The original station of Chengchangdao Sect had disappeared without a trace.
Taoist Zhe looked at the gray wasteland in front of him, squinted his eyes, and said, "I wonder where the Chengchang Taoist sect you mentioned is?"
Qian Zhong hurriedly said: "Don't be anxious, Taoist friend. Although I don't know what happened, my Chengchang Taoist sect is a big sect and I will never disappear like this."
Although many bad thoughts passed through Xia Houming's mind, he still remained calm and said: "In addition to the above-ground stations, the Changdao Sect also has many underground stations. I should be able to ask about the specific situation there."
Taoist Zhe said calmly: "I hope so."
Xia Houming and Qian Zhong discussed it and separated for a while. Finally, they were reassured that there were indeed disciples of the Chengchang Taoist sect stationed in the surrounding underground camps.
The monk in charge of the garrison also knew the two of them and said in surprise: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Xiahou and Senior Brother Qian. Are you back?"
Qian Zhong asked anxiously: "Junior Brother Wei, what is going on? Why is the Taoist sect's ground station missing?"
The monk surnamed Wei said: "Alas, the two senior brothers don't know that the Shuangzhou people led a crowd to attack me at Chengchang years ago and dropped a lot of Xuan soldiers. Fortunately, Zhang Xuanzheng led the leaders of various sects to fight with this generation.
We had a fight here and defeated this generation..." He started to talk and couldn't stop talking.
The more the two of them listened, the more they became confused. Why did the Shuangzhou people attack them? Zhang Xuanzheng? The leaders of various factions? What happened during their absence for more than a year?
Could it be that we have been away for not just one year, but ten years?
After repeated questioning by them, it took them a long time to roughly figure out the whole story.
When they found out, they looked at each other in confusion. They never imagined that so many things had happened during the time they left.
Originally they thought they would definitely be rewarded and valued by the sect this time, but now when they came back, they were told that even the Chengchangdao sect was gone.
The monk surnamed Wei saw that the two people were silent and uneasy, and said hurriedly: "Two senior brothers, now my disciples of Xuanxiu have to go to Xuanfu to register their names, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward. Elder Si, oh, Si Xuanxiu is still here.
We are stationed at the station thirty miles ahead. You two can go there. He should be able to properly arrange the affairs of the two senior brothers."
After Xia Houming and Qian Zhong thanked him, they walked out. They discussed it, found the Taoist Taoist again, and informed him of the situation they had learned.
Xia Houming said apologetically: "Fellow Taoist Zhe, I'm sorry. There have been such changes in the continent. We never expected them. Now the two of us have no where to go. We can only take fellow Taoist to see the original one first."
Elder Si, let’s make further arrangements.”
There was a strange look in Taoist Zhe's eyes, and he said: "Are you two saying that now the Taoist sect is no longer respected, but will be merged into one body again within this year?"
Xia Houming sighed: "Yes, but we don't know the specific situation."
Taoist Zhe's eyes flickered and he said: "Okay, then I will go with you two to see the elder."
