The third day of the first lunar month in the 379th year of the Daxuan Calendar.
The New Year has just passed, and it is still in the midst of the New Year. Jifu paper-cuts are posted everywhere in the manor, and rows of festive red lanterns are hung in the corridors.
Zhang Yu, wearing a loose green robe, was sitting under the porch facing the lake. There was a low table in front of him, and the tea in the white jade porcelain cup exuded a pure fragrance.
This is the fourth year he has spent since arriving in Qingyang. Qingyang is now peaceful inside and outside, and he can also enjoy a rare leisure time.
But this is short-lived. In February, he will go to the outer layer. It is a place with frequent wars. The most important war in Tianxia is now taking place there.
A group of white herons suddenly flew over the water, and the originally clear and calm lake suddenly became more alive.
Mr. Miaodan, who was a few short feet away, suddenly stood up and stared at the herons, the spiritual mist on his body flickering in and out.
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed its head. The little leopard cat narrowed its eyes and lay down again. The spiritual mist on its body also shrank away again.
At this time, Zhang Yu took out a Taoist book from the purple star bag, held it in his hand and read it slowly.
After looking at it for a long time, Li Qinghe came over, bowed and said, "Mr."
Zhang Yu asked casually: "What's the matter?"
Li Qinghe said: "There is a letter sent from Shiquguan."
Zhang Yu raised his head, put down the Taoist book, took the letter from Li Qinghe, and flipped through it. Sure enough, it was from Tao Dingfu. There were not many sentences in the letter. He just said that his flying boat was almost completed.
If he has time, he might as well go to Lingmiao Xuanjing to collect the flying boat.
He was a little surprised, because Tao Dingfu told him before building this flying boat that it might take a long time. He originally thought it would be delayed for a while, and he might have already reached the outer layer by then.
Unexpectedly, the New Year has just passed and the construction of the flying boat is already coming to an end. However, it would be much more convenient if we could bring the flying boat before going to the outer layer.
He put away the letter, stood up, went to the inner room and changed into a Taoist robe. After giving Li Qinghe some instructions, he left the manor and flew towards Gaozhou with a blue rainbow.
Half a moment later, he landed in front of the stone tunnel and walked inside.
There was a Taoist boy waiting there. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly slapped his head and said, "But Zhang Xuanzheng? Taoist Master Tao asked the boy to greet Xuanzheng here."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I'm sorry."
The little Taoist boy said hurriedly: "Don't you dare." He turned around and said, "The entrance to Lingmiao Xuanjing is in front. Xuanzheng, please go this way."
Zhang Yu followed him as he walked back, and soon came to the back garden of the Taoist temple. He saw a waterfall flowing downward on the mountain wall. The little Taoist boy should go in first, and he followed suit.
At this moment, he only felt that his senses were slightly stagnant for a moment. After his senses recovered, he looked up and saw that he was standing on a huge arched cliff with a waterfall flowing outward from the rock peak.
The little Taoist boy shouted into the air, and a crane flew towards him. Then he turned over and said, "Xuanzheng, please follow me." After saying that, he patted the crane and flew away in the air.
Clouds and mist rose under Zhang Yu's feet, his sleeves and robes fluttered, and he followed the crane.
While he was flying, he also looked at the scenery around him.
He has been hearing about the mysterious realm of Lingmiao since he came to Qingyang, and he is also very interested in this place where the true cultivator lives.
Now it seems that this place is indeed more natural and interesting compared to the almost unchanged desolate wilderness outside Qingyang territory, and the colors of the mountains and rivers are also rich and colorful, which makes it particularly pleasing to the eye.
However, after flying for a long time, I feel that this place lacks vitality. It does not mean that there are few living things here, but that the scenery here seems to have remained unchanged forever, lacking a kind of energetic vitality. At first glance, it is okay, but after seeing more, it will inevitably make people feel...
tedious.
He couldn't help but feel in his heart that the scenery here was just like those ancient true cultivators. They could reach the top along the path of inheritance. They didn't need to ask for anything from the outside, otherwise they would lose the motivation to go outside.
However, there is no sure way for Xuan Xiu and those creatures to make progress. They must constantly try to find the path that suits them, and their power of progress will push the entire Tianxia to move forward.
At this time, the little Taoist boy turned around on the back of the crane, pointed forward, and said loudly: "Xuanzheng, you're right in front."
Zhang Yu looked over and saw a huge wide cliff there. There was no vegetation on it, the cliff was flat, and there were huge cave cliffs and stone pillars that were naturally formed like porches.
The crane under the little Taoist boy let out a whistle, then flapped its wings and flew into the corridor cave.
Zhang Yuzi also floated in. As soon as he got inside, he saw a huge jade-white flying boat coming into view. The lines around the flying boat were very smooth and yet thick. At first glance, it looked like a white flying boat.
The giant whale is parked there.
At this time, several Taoists were standing there, seeming to be discussing something. Tao Dingfu was also among them. When he saw Zhang Yu Dunguang coming in, he came up to him and said with a smile: "Junior brother, you are here."
Zhang Yu dispersed the jade mist around him, settled down, and said, "I came here after receiving the letter from senior brother." He looked at the jade-white boat and said, "Is this the flying boat?"
Tao Dingfu said: "That's it." He smiled and said, "It looks pretty good, right? I worked together with several fellow Taoists and actually used a lot of rare materials from the Xuan Realm to successfully build it."
Zhang Yu walked to the front of the flying boat with him and asked: "Is there any difference between this flying boat and what I have seen before?"
"The flying boat we built is naturally different from those ordinary means."
As a slightly deeper voice sounded, an old Taoist with a tall, thin body and sunken eyes came over. He slapped Zhang Yu and said, "You poor Taoist Zhao Xian and Zhang Xuanzheng are polite."
Zhang Yu also gave a courtesy and said: "Fellow Taoist Zhao is polite."
Tao Dingfu said from the side: "Zhao Daoyou has extraordinary skills. When it comes to making magic weapons, he is the first person in the spiritual and mysterious realm. He has put a lot of effort into building this flying boat this time."
Taoist Zhao said quietly: "This time our Lingmiao Xuanjing owes Zhang Xuanzheng a favor, and we should do whatever we can to help."
He looked at Zhang Yu, "Just now Zhang Xuanzheng asked how this flying boat was different from what he had seen before. The biggest difference is that the flying boat in front of us was made by us using the 'Tian Yuan True Fire' left by a Xuanzun.
Yes, so this thing can be regarded as a magic weapon. Not only can it be retracted and released, but it is also so strong that even thousands of thunderballs cannot break it open."
Zhang Yu glanced at the flying boat again, and then he put his mind at ease and enveloped the entire flying boat inside. He also took this opportunity to inspect the flying boat inside and out.
Most of the flying boats he had seen before were living creatures, but the one in front of him was definitely not that. As Zhao Xian said, it could be regarded as an enlarged magic weapon.
When the flying boat of creation flies away, its power comes from the spirituality of the flying boat itself, and this flying boat is driven by his own mind.
But it is a magic weapon after all, and the light of the heart does not need to be consumed much. At this moment, he can feel that with just a little push, he can fly and escape thousands of miles away.
Taoist Zhao took a few glances and saw that Feizhou showed no abnormality under Zhang Yuxin's light, but instead bloomed with a thin layer of fluorescence, so he said aloud: "Zhang Xuanzheng, it seems that Feizhou is very suitable for you. Now it's just
The master has been sent to perform sacrifices, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to perform sacrifices?"
Zhang Yu nodded, his heart suddenly changed, and penetrated into every part of the giant boat like invisible water. At the same time, the entire boat trembled slightly as if it was breathing, and more fluorescence came from the boat.
spread out.
Seeing this, Taoist Zhao knew that it was inconvenient for him and others to stay here at this time, so he called out to the other Taoists and exited the cave hall. Only Tao Dingfu was still standing here to look after him.
Almost a moment after Zhang Yu performed the Heart Light Sacrifice, the giant boat was almost covered in fluorescence from head to toe, and then suddenly flashed, and the huge body disappeared from the place in an instant.
He opened his palms at this time and saw something like a jade whale floating there, swimming continuously, moving its head and tail, looking like a living creature. It was clearly transformed from this flying boat. He unconsciously praised:
"It's really a mysterious method."
Tao Dingfu smiled, shook his head and said: "We don't have such means. This is made with the real fire left by Xuan Zun, and all the magical powers in it are also obtained from Xuan Zun."
Zhang Yu calmed down at this moment, and with a flick of his sleeves, he put the flying boat into the purple star bag. He turned around and said: "I will leave Qingyang next month and go to the outer layer. What are your plans, senior brother?
Are you still planning to stay in Qingyang Shangzhou?"
Tao Dingfu pondered for a moment and said: "I have also thought about this matter. In the past few years, I have been making magical weapons and practicing martial arts. However, I also feel that Senior Suyang's magic lies in fighting. Now I have practiced martial arts.
Gradually, if I get a suitable opportunity, maybe I will go to the outer world to experience it and find out the opportunity for breakthrough and the way to go in the future."
Zhang Yudao: "The outer layer and the inner layer can also send messages. If you need my help, senior brother, you can come and send messages."
Tao Dingfu said with a smile: "I will never be polite to you, junior brother." He looked slightly solemn again, "Junior brother, there are frequent wars in the outer layer. This journey is not a smooth one, so be careful."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Senior brother, I have already obtained the flying boat. I will not stay here for long. I will thank those fellow Taoists on my behalf."
Tao Dingfu said: "Junior brother, it's better to leave earlier. If I don't want to build a flying boat, I don't want to stay here for a long time. So, junior brother, let's say goodbye." After saying that, he raised his hand and saluted.
Zhang Yu also raised his sleeves and bowed in return, saying: "Senior brother, take care of me."
He put down his hand and walked out. After a few steps, a light flashed from his body and shot into the sky.
He followed the original path out of Shiqu Temple, and then returned all the way to Liangzhou Manor.
In the days after he came down, he never went out again, but kept practicing contemplation of calligraphy in the manor.
Time flies by, and the time set by Xuanting is getting closer and closer.
On this day at the end of January, while he was meditating, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He walked out of the inner room and saw a flash of light in the sky in the south of Qingyang, like lightning tearing apart dark clouds, and then
A dazzling beam of light fell straight from the surface of the earth!
