Zhang Yu shook his head when he heard what Tao Dingfu said. As a patrolman of Xuanting, although he could stay here for a while, he must not stay for too long, so he said: "I am responsible for my duties now, so I may not be able to do so."
I went with my senior brother."
Tao Dingfu was also able to understand and said: "I wonder how long junior brother plans to stay in Qingyang?
Zhang Yudao: "I will stay here for about a month and a half. After finishing the matters here, I will go to the Dongting Protector's Mansion and then return to the outer layer."
"The outer layer."
Tao Dingfu sighed with emotion, "I received a letter from my junior brother earlier to invite me, and I had the intention to go. However, I was at a critical moment in my practice at that time, so I couldn't make the trip. I had to wait until I came back from Yujing before I could go out.
It’s a great experience.”
Zhang Yudao: "Okay, senior brother, please go and say hello to Senior Sister Nie on my behalf."
Tao Dingfu smiled and said: "I will bring it."
Zhang Yu looked outside and said, "After our farewell that day, I don't know what happened to the other senior brothers and sisters now."
Tao Dingfu said in a very free and easy manner: "You and I are both cultivators. We live long lives and there will always be a day when we meet again."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "It's rare to have a moment with senior brother. Since senior brother is here, you might as well stay and have a cup of tea. Just think of me as practicing for senior brother."
Tao Dingfu smiled and said: "Junior brother, there is good tea here, I want to taste some of it."
Zhang Yu immediately ordered Qingmo to prepare tea, and then invited Tao Dingfu to sit on the porch. The two chatted for a while, and then he learned that monks from Yujing had been visiting Qingyang Xuanjing from time to time in the past two years.
After all, Yujing is a place where the world's elites gather, and there are many Taoists from Xuanting stationed there. There are many cultivators with advanced cultivation levels. The same is true. Nowadays, the true cultivators in Qingyang Xuanjing have been ignored for the past two years.
As for foreign affairs, he devoted himself to cultivation, and he made great progress in Taoism. Tao Ding Fu also gained a lot at that time.
After the two had a long conversation, it was almost noon before they knew it. Tao Dingfu looked at the sky, stood up from his seat, and said, "It's sunny and windy today. It's a good time to go on a journey. I'll take my leave now and wait for you tomorrow."
Meet my junior brother again."
Zhang Yu also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I wish you a safe journey, senior brother."
Tao Dingfu nodded, and then the mana surged from his body, instantly turning into a red brilliance that shot into the sky. After a flash, it disappeared into the northern sky.
Zhang Yu withdrew his gaze and stood on the corridor, his clothes were fluttering gently in the breeze, and his expression showed a thoughtful look.
Although he was not planning to go to Yujing, Taodingfu's invitation reminded him that if he wanted to obtain more items containing source energy, in addition to Dongting Protector's Palace, he now had Yujing as an option.
As the capital of Tianxia, Yujing has a large number of antiquities donated or confiscated from various places in the past.
It's just that these things are not so easy to obtain. There are several Xuanzuns sitting in Jade Capital, and there are far more eyes below the bet than elsewhere, but these things may be bought as an excuse for collection.
Anyway, many people now know that his hobby is identifying and collecting antiquities, so there is nothing surprising about him.
It just needs a trustworthy person to host it on your behalf.
After thinking about it, he realized that this matter could not be done immediately. He could ask Qingmo to ask someone to collect it first, and then start arranging it after returning to the Dongting Protectorate. After all, most of his old friends and students were there.
After pondering, he also turned back to the hall and called Taoist Wanming over to discuss some Taoism with him, and also told some of his experiences during cultivation.
He knew very well that Xuanfa needed mutual exchanges to improve, so he had previously left part of the seals he obtained from the outside in Xuan Mansion.
However, seals are dead, but people are alive. These seals are also made by Xuan Xiu. If we can put aside the estrangement and prejudice between each other and restore the pattern of seventy or eighty years ago, then it will be conducive to the prosperity of Xuan Fa.
.
But now the atmosphere here in Qingyang Shangzhou is likely to return to the past. It also needs a few people to lead it, and Taoist Wanming is the most suitable person for this, so he also intends to give it a try.
.
Taoist Wanming has been wasting his time in reading Chapter 4 for a long time, but like many Taoists, he has never been able to achieve enlightenment. After listening to Zhang Yu's teachings, he felt that he had gained a lot.
But on the third day, he said goodbye and said: "I have learned a lot from listening to Xuan Zheng's lectures these days, but I also know my own abilities. These have been enough for me to understand for a long time. Sometimes I know too much."
But it’s not a good thing. If you continue to listen to it, I’m afraid it will disturb your Taoist mind.”
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "My Taoist friends know their choices and are aware of themselves. If you can hold on to this intention for a long time, there is no need to worry about failing to achieve Taoism."
He didn't try to hold him back anymore and personally sent Wan Ming Taoist out. After the transfer, he thought about it and it was not unreasonable for Wei Gao who was sent by Xuan Ting to take over the position of Xuan Zheng.
To hold a high position in a continent's Xuanfu, one must either have abilities and achievements that are enough to convince the public, or someone with a good background behind them, otherwise they will not be able to stand. At the same time, such talents cannot be from the continent, which makes it more difficult to select the right person.
Chosen.
Even if he had not been born in the Dongting Protectorate and had made great achievements in the past, and Qingyang was in a delicate situation at the time, he might not have become Xuan Zheng so easily.
In the final analysis, there are still too few outstanding figures among Xuanxiu. After all, at the same level, most real cultivators still outnumber Xuanxiu, and there is no one to protect them, which is why this is the case.
However, this situation can ultimately be changed through hard work.
He collected his thoughts, returned to his study, and meditated all night. After coming out of meditation the next day, he continued to read the ancient documents.
After some sorting, he found that there were actually three ancient artifacts recorded here, two of which had relatively few records and could almost be ignored, while the remaining records all pointed to something called a "sleeping baby"
.
The broken picture of human skin showed a six-armed baby with a playful look. This thing was called 'Oanu', which means the son of the evil god.
It's just that this thing reminded him that when he was reading about the indigenous tribes in Qingyang Shangzhou a few years ago, he remembered that one of the indigenous tribes was named "Lan people". There was a folk legend circulated among the tribe, and there was a folk legend in it.
One of them is a six-armed evil baby.
He recalled it for a moment and then recalled the entire rumor.
The Lan people were an indigenous tribe living by the sea, making a living by fishing and gathering. But one day, a wooden statue of a six-armed baby floated from the sea. It looked like a real person. The people of the tribe had never seen such a statue before.
If you find something exquisite and delicate, you will worship it as a god.
But just one night later, most of the healthy women in the tribe became pregnant.
The local tribe thought it was because of the statue of a god, and they worshiped it devoutly. However, things went wrong after that. The children born, regardless of gender, all had six arms, and when they made a sound, they laughed instead of crying.
The tribesmen were so frightened that they cut off the arms of the statue on the advice of the shaman, smashed it to pieces and burned it, and pushed all the six-armed babies into the sea.
But just one night later, the statue reappeared in the original altar, and the villagers were even more frightened. They tried many methods, but they couldn't get rid of it.
After asking the gods for instructions, the sacrificial witch found a way to move all the people to an island instructed by the gods, and re-established an altar here. Then one night, all the strong men secretly left by boat.
Here, no one knows the whereabouts of this island since then, nor does it know what happened to the people on the island in the end.
But even so, some of the descendants of these men still gave birth to children with six arms from time to time, so they were recorded and reported to the local government office.
Zhang Yu thought for a while, these remnants are now in Mochuan County on the seaside of Qizhou. He might as well go here and visit first to see if he can find more clues about this object.
After making the decision, he left the manor and flew toward him. Just a moment later, he crossed several states and landed in Mochuan County.
He first found the Wei Zhi Library in the continent, which was responsible for recording supernatural things. The official named Hu who was in charge was also a person who was very interested in strange things and ancient legends. He heard that Qingyang Xuanzheng was looking for it.
I was a little nervous at first, but as soon as I heard these things mentioned, I immediately became more active.
He said enthusiastically: "Xuanzheng asked about this matter, and the subordinates also knew that these survivors lived in Fengzhi Village. However, Zhouzhong has always prohibited officials from interfering with such mysterious things, so the subordinates could not investigate in depth.
I have collected some accounts one after another."
Zhang Yudao: "Since Hu Zhuanwen understands this matter, then come with me for a trip."
Hu Wenli suddenly became excited and said: "Don't be smart."
Zhang Yu immediately took Hu Wenli to Fengzhi Village. Now the road was open and it was convenient for vehicles and horses to travel. It took more than a summer before they arrived at Fengzhi Village.
The people living in this village are all descendants of the Lan people. They joined Qingyang more than a hundred years ago, but they have always been very loyal to Tianxia. Even in the turbulent tide, the entire clan stood by Tianxia, and they always stood by Tianxia.
After more than a hundred years, except for slight differences in appearance, the people's speech, behavior, etiquette and customs are no different from ordinary Tianxia people.
When Hu Wenli arrived here, he immediately called the village elders and asked about the matter.
The old man from the village said: "Yes, there is a legend in our clan, and it is probably true. There are still people with six arms in our clan."
Hu Wenli's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Can we find this person and see him?"
The village elder said: "This is easy."
He turned around and gave the order. Not long after, a man in his forties with a very strong physique came over. After being summoned, he generously unbuttoned his clothes, turned around, and let everyone see his back.
It can be seen that there are four child-like curled limbs on the spine, and you can vaguely see the shape of hands.
Hu Wenli asked curiously: "Is this an arm?"
The man said: "I'm just looking at this. My great-grandfather has six adult arms and can do twice as much fine work as usual. However, he was afraid of being regarded as an alien, so he just hid at the beach and lived alone all year round."
Hu Wenli asked: "Aren't you afraid of this?"
The man said carelessly: "What am I afraid of? According to my great-grandfather, the old custom was to kill someone if they found someone with six arms. But we don't do this in Tianxia. We have abolished these bad habits. At most, some people are just curious. Now I rely on my own
I have the strength to eat, and the fish I raise are also the fattest in the village, so no one will look down on me."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and asked: "Let me ask, do your ancestors have any older things that have been passed down?"
