As soon as New Year's Eve passes, we enter the 381st year of the Daxuan Calendar.
Zhang Yu stayed in his residence in Taiyang Academy until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and then he stayed away from the hustle and bustle and returned to the white boat.
He came to the main cabin and sat down, and with a call in his heart, he summoned Dao Hun Zhang.
He looked at the "Seal of Righteous Self". After delaying for these days, he should have completed this seal now.
As soon as his mind moved, he transferred the divine energy inside.
And as the divine energy fills it, the "Seal of Righteous Self" also becomes brighter and brighter. As the seal gradually becomes complete, there is a flow of light on it, like a flash of lightning in the dark night, and then a ray of brilliance is cast down.
, shone on him.
At this moment, he felt that his surroundings seemed to darken.
If he felt something, he looked up and saw a person who looked like himself walking towards him in the darkness.
This seems to be another him, but it seems not.
This person did not stop, but came to him, and then walked to where he was as if he had not seen him before, then turned around and sat down, where the two became one.
At this moment, the light on the seal also dissipated.
Zhang Yu raised his head, and there seemed to be a flash of bright silver stars in his eyes. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and peace in his body, and all kinds of mysterious sounds were produced when his breath flowed, as if
Like the everlasting waves crashing on the shore, and like the fairy music playing on the distant mountain tops.
At the same time, he was in a trance and felt that the world in front of him seemed to have a sense of illusion, which made him want to break away from it and search for the reality that his body and mind thought was real.
He knew that this was because he had made progress in the path of cultivation, further perfected himself, and had become more repelled by heaven and earth.
but……
He looked at the Great Dao Hun Zhang. Although the "Seal of Righteous Self" had been completed, he did not obtain the third yuan, or in other words, the third yuan was not completed.
He looked at the top of this seal and saw that there was another seal derived there. It was obvious that there were still some defects here. If he wanted to go down, he needed to continue to fill in this seal.
He is not disappointed with this. Now that he has enough divine energy, he can just fill up this seal again.
In fact, it is a good thing to have such a change, so that he will not have to explore what is missing on his own.
So with a change of thought, he also transferred the divine energy into it, and the seal also gradually lit up, and at this time, the word "Self-holding" gradually appeared on it.
But when he saw that there was still only one step left to complete the seal, he realized that no matter how hard he pushed, he could not complete it.
He couldn't help but feel surprised, and after completing the "Right Self" seal, his mind became particularly clear and clear. As soon as the question came out, the answer immediately appeared in his mind.
This is not due to the seal or myself, but to the fact that the world I am in at the moment is not suitable.
He couldn't help but look at the sky above. After returning to the inner layer for so long, it was time to return to the outer layer.
Time flies, after the fifteenth day, almost the entire New Year has passed, and the entire Protectorate has begun the operation of the new year.
Zhang Yuze ordered the people below to pack up and prepare to set off in the next few days. Besides doing necessary homework these days, he just read Taoist books there.
Although I have read the Taoist book in my hand many times, every time I make some progress in my practice and read it again, I will gain something different.
Qing Shu walked to the rooftop and said, "Sir, Deacon Xu is here."
Zhang Yudao: "Let him come in."
Xu Chengtong walked in, bowed and said, "It's polite to patrol."
Zhang Yudao: "Deacon Xu, please take a seat."
Xu Chengtong said hurriedly: "How can there be a seat for Xu in front of the patrol?"
Zhang Yu did not force himself and said: "Is there any result in Xuanfu?"
Xu Chengtong said: "Yes, Xuanfu has found out those two people. Both of them are Taoists who believe in the Taoism of the Zhengqing lineage."
Zhang Yudao: "Aren't you a disciple of Zhengqing?"
Xu Chengtong: "Judging from the past history of the two of them, it is not true, and their mentorships have nothing to do with each other. However, their elders have had contacts with Zhengqing's disciples. Later, Zhengqing was expelled, and the two mentors also suffered.
He must be punished, but also fell into silence."
At this time, he said angrily: "I thought that this generation would abandon evil and do good from now on, but I didn't expect that I was still doing such sneaky things secretly. I am really evil-minded and shameless! Xu despises this kind of people the most
People!"
Zhang Yu also knows that the Zhengqing lineage has never been the only disciple of the Zhengqing Patriarch. He alone cannot accomplish the task of destroying Xuan Xingzhen. There are actually a large number of overt and covert supporters behind this lineage.
This generation is all using the name Zhengqing to act, but some people are indeed secretly planning to destroy Xuanxiu and restore the original structure of Zhenxiu, while some people just shout it casually, but in fact they are purely using this name.
The head seeks personal gain for himself.
He looked at Xu Chengtong: "Deacon Xu, do you think this person can succeed?"
Xu Chengtong said sternly: "Guard, when Xuan Ting decided to promote the Xuan Xiu lineage, this matter was initially opposed by many cultivators, even Teacher Xu was one of them, but that was out of practical considerations.
Later, it turned out that this was an act in compliance with the way of heaven. Xuanxiu indeed took on the important responsibility and made Tianxia prosperous. However, it is absolutely impossible for the Zhengqing lineage to go against the trend and act against the way of heaven!
"
He spoke eloquently and said in his heart: "The patrol will become Xuan Zun sooner or later. Even if all the Xuan cultivators in the world die, Xuan Zun will be fine. Lao Xu, I just need to follow the patrol closely."
.”
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. In fact, in his opinion, if the things that happened back then were said to have gone along the way, it was not so much about following the way of heaven as it was about people following the way.
The matter of cultivating the Tao is inherently a matter of obedience and adversity, rather than being determined to the end.
After asking Xu Chengtong to retreat, he continued to read, but today was destined to be uneasy. After noon, Qing Shu came to report again: "Guard, a message came from Xuanfu, saying that the new guard has arrived, but this
The town guard wants to see the patrol."
Zhang Yudao: "What do you want to see me for?"
Qingshu said: "It is said that it is about Ji Shouzhen and I want to ask sir, so I came to ask sir when is it convenient?"
Zhang Yudao: "Go and tell Xuanfu that I will be leaving the East Courtyard in the next two days. If Gongsun Shouzhen wants to see me, let him come here."
Qingshu said: "Yes, Qingshu will reply accordingly."
Unexpectedly, less than a summer after the news was sent out, Gongsun Shouzhen came to visit.
This man appears to be in his thirties, wearing a dark blue Taoist robe with bamboo leaf patterns. His face looks elegant and easy-going, and he has the air of a scholar.
When he saw Zhang Yuhou, he took the initiative to call the inspector and said: "Zhang Xunhu, I'm Gongsun Shao, please be polite."
When Zhang Yu saw him telling him his position, he knew that this person probably had some background in Xuan Ting, and his reason for coming today was probably not that simple.
After returning the gift, he invited the person to sit down and said, "I have already told Envoy Bi everything about Daoist Fellow Ji. I wonder if Gongsun Shouzhen has anything else to ask?"
Gongsun Shao said: "I did listen to the envoy Bi about Ji Shouzhen. Please don't mind the patrol. This person is just an excuse for me to talk to the patrol. But after all, this matter is indeed related to Ji Shou."
The town has some connections.”
Although this man looks elegant in appearance, when he speaks, his voice is strong and coherent. It can be seen that he is a person with a strong will and will resolutely implement it once he makes a decision.
He looked at Zhang Yu and said: "I have read Messenger Bi's newspaper, and I also know that before the patrol dealt with Ji Shou, there was actually a chaos monster."
Zhang Yudao: "So, Ji Shouzhen was chasing this chaotic monster and was infected by its aura, causing him to fall into a side path."
Gongsun Shao said: "I came today just for this chaotic monster. Does the patrol know the identity of that chaotic monster?"
Zhang Yudao: "I don't know about this, but I have heard from Xuanfu that this person was originally an ordinary monk who came to visit the Protectorate."
Gongsun Shaodao: "It has been found out now that this person's name is Song Lu, but he changed into his later appearance when he met someone on the way. As for this person, this is his document. Please ask the patrol to check it.
." As he spoke, he took out a volume of documents from his star bag and handed it over.
Zhang Yu took it and opened it. At first, he thought it might be a member of Xuanzun's sect, so Yujing Xuanfu paid so much attention to it, but after looking at it, he found that it was not the case, but the fact attracted her attention even more.
.
The person mentioned above is a monk named Huo Heng. This talent is amazing and he can be called the number one talent at that time.
With this person's talent, he could have become a true cultivator and become a disciple of a Xuan Zun. However, he gave up the true way and became a xuan cultivator instead.
The reason here turned out to be that this person believed that the path to true cultivation had already been determined, and that his talent and ability could not be revealed through step-by-step practice. At that time, Xuan Ting was deliberately supporting Xuan Xiu, and it also supported and appreciated his move.
And Huo Heng never failed to live up to the high expectations. In less than twenty years, he became a four-chapter monk from a disciple who only knew how to breathe in and out.
At the beginning, he was expected to become the first Xuanzun in Xuanxiu, and even many officials in Xuanting paid attention to him.
However, for such a person who placed great expectations on him, for some reason, he stepped back just when he took the last step and was about to achieve success.
Originally, this was nothing. Everyone thought that he was just not prepared enough or had some new insights. After all, no one had been able to reach the upper realm with the mysterious method before.
And with this person's talent, as long as his Tao foundation is not damaged, it won't be difficult to start over from scratch.
However something unexpected happened.
Not long after this incident, the man actually transformed into a chaotic monster in front of everyone! He left a few words on the spot and then left.
When Zhang Yu saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly. What exactly happened in this, why did this person choose that way, and what was that sentence, were not mentioned in the document.
It was just mentioned that at that time, the turbid tide coincided with the arrival of the turbid tide, the original structure of the heaven and earth changed, the land and the land expanded and changed, and the Tianxia continents were invaded, but no one went to pursue him, and he disappeared after that.
Gongsun Shao said: "The text is not finished, but according to our verification, at that time this person defected to a powerful man who also fell into the path of chaos. This person was near Qingyang Shangzhou, and maybe Zhang Xunhu was also there.
I’ve heard of it.”
Zhang Yu nodded. The powerful person near Qingyang Shangzhou should be the person Zhu Xuanshou had been guarding against.
Gongsun Shao said at this time: "Does Zhang Xunhu know that Huo Heng is different from others? Even though he is a chaotic monster, we can infer that he is still very likely to maintain a certain level of sanity. What is the extent of his achievements now?
We have no way of knowing for sure. And what he is extremely good at is infecting others with his own aura.
There is more than one victim.
Song Lu is like this, and Ji Shouzhen is like this, they both fell into trouble without knowing it."
Having said this, he looked directly over and stared at Zhang Yudao: "So what we want to ask is, are the patrols really sure that they have disinfected those two monsters? Did the patrols feel any changes in themselves? "
