The day for new students to enter the Taiyang Academy will not be until February. Now that the first month of the month has not ended yet, all the teachers and students in the Academy are still taking a break.
As Zhang Yu and Li Qinghe walked along, they saw an empty academy. They only occasionally met a few teachers and students living in the academy. When they walked across from them, it seemed as if they had never seen them.
generally.
The two walked along a flat avenue filled with flowers and dense trees on both sides until they came to a two-story building with a small courtyard outside and a flower stand above.
It was not difficult for Li Qinghe to recognize that this was their original residence in Taiyang Academy. He couldn't help but take two steps forward and looked at the appearance of this place. It had not changed much from before they left. He turned back and said: "
Sir, this place is still the same as before."
Zhang Yudao: "The Academy has always been here. I came back before I became a Taoist, and I lived here at that time. I need to go to the Xuan Mansion to explain some matters. You can go back and see your elders. If you need anything,
, if you have anything else, please come back and tell me."
Li Qinghe bowed deeply and said gratefully: "Thank you sir."
Zhang Yu nodded, then continued north along the stone avenue and headed towards Dongtingxuan Mansion.
He looked at the road ahead. Back then, he also walked this road to the Xuan Mansion. At that time, he was just a student who had just come here to seek the Tao. But today, he is already a transcendent Xuan Zun.
He seemed to be able to see a young figure walking in front of him, and his feet were firm. He looked up into the distance, walked over, passed the figure, and continued to move forward.
As he progressed, the light on his body grew stronger and stronger, gradually turning into a rising cloud and spreading towards the sky.
In the main hall of the Xuan Mansion, Xiang Chun was reviewing documents in the Chapter of Training the Heaven. Now he found that when ordering his disciples to pass on documents, in addition to the necessary backup documents, it was relatively simple to directly approve the documents in the Chapter of the Training of the Heaven. This was also
Saves a lot of time on back-and-forth transfers.
Moreover, in the Xuntian Daozhang, there is no fear of documents being stolen or lost. Some documents that are not too important can be placed directly here. It is also convenient to read them, and they can be brought to you in just a thought.
In fact, he is not the only one doing this now, but many people are doing the same. The Yujing court is already recording a large number of documents and precious collections into the Xuntian Daozhang.
In addition, they are also preparing to submit a letter to Zhang Yu to set up a special seal for this purpose. This way, if there are students or officials below who need to read documents and records or even ancient books, they will not need to send special letters or communicate for this purpose.
Running around.
Some officials even believe that if government affairs are entrusted here, a lot of procrastination and redundancy can be eliminated, making up and down traffic smooth. However, this matter is still under debate.
At this time, a disciple came in quickly, bowed his head and said: "Master, outside, the master should go out and take a look..."
Xiang Chun looked startled, and then he realized something. He walked to the window sill and saw a line of cloud light and clear air coming from south to north that seemed to go from the earth to the sky.
He immediately realized something and informed the disciple: "Zhang Xuanshou has arrived. Immediately send an order to all the monks in Xuanfu to come with me to meet Zhang Xuanshou."
The disciple quickly responded.
After a while, a long bell rang in the Xuan Palace. At the same time, all the monks still in the Xuan Palace also received reports from the Heaven Training Dao Chapter.
After Xiang Chun walked out of the lobby, he walked all the way out of the main entrance of Xuan Mansion and came to the flat and open space in front of the manor. Looking up, he could see a young Taoist surrounded by jade mist and starlight walking from a distance.
As he walked over, the pure light from his body rose from the earth and reached into the sky, where it formed a cloud of clouds, covering the top like a canopy.
After hearing the news, the monks and disciples in Xuan Palace came out one after another and gathered behind Xiang Chun. They all looked at this scene with shock on their faces.
At this time, Xiang Chun unfolded his big sleeves, then put his hands together, bowed in front of him, and said: "Xian Chun, the master of the Xuan Palace in the East Courtyard, together with his disciples, has seen Xuan Shou." From the moment the Xuan Ting edict came down,
, he is no longer the head of Xuanting, and now he only handles all matters in the palace.
All the disciples also bowed to him and said in unison: "Greetings to Xuan Shou."
Zhang Yu also walked up to Xiang Chun at this time. He stretched out his hand to support Xiang Chun and said: "Senior Brother Xiang, no courtesy." He then said to the back: "Comrades, there is no need to be more polite."
Xiang Chun solemnly said: "Thank you Xuanshou."
The disciples behind him all thanked him and stood up. Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu.
Standing close at this moment, the dazzling appearance on Zhang Yu's body was almost invisible, but he was surrounded by a layer of clear light.
Except for some monks who held official positions in the Xuan Mansion and were protected by the Xuanting Seal, the other disciples who were present could see his appearance clearly. Looking at him, the other disciples only felt a blur in the clear light. If they stared at it for a long time, they would feel dizzy.
Xiang Chun reached into his sleeve at this time, took out the seal and jade rubbings that had been prepared and presented them forward, saying: "Xuanshou, these are the old seals of the Dongting Protectorate and the jade rubbings from the past. Please Xuanshou check them."
Zhang Yu nodded, glanced around, and took the two items together with a flick of his sleeves. Then he raised his head and glanced at the gate of Xuan Mansion, raised his sleeves, took out the seal given by Xuan Ting, and held it in his palm.
.
As soon as the seal appeared, light immediately emitted from the seal, illuminating the entire Dongting Xuan Mansion. After a moment, the ethereal sound of immortal music was heard, and a clear light descended from the sky and fell into the Xuan Mansion.
In response to this seal, after a while, the light slowly faded away.
This is Xuan Ting transferring the authority to control the entire Dongting Xuan Palace's forbidden formation to another place. At this point, this Xuan Palace has been entrusted to his hands.
He collected the seal, looked at Fan Lan and Qi Wu behind Xiang Chun, and said, "How are you two senior brothers?"
Fan Lan, Qi Wu and others hurriedly bowed and said: "Lao Xuanshou has asked, we are all well."
Zhang Yu asked again: "Where are the other senior brothers?"
Xiang Chun replied: "We are all under the supervision of the various branches of the Protectorate. The subordinates spread the word and asked them to rush back to see Xuanshou immediately."
Zhang Yudao: "There's no need to be so impatient. We've known each other well in the past, so we can skip those unnecessary etiquette and rules. Xuanfu's affairs are very important. When will you be on duty and when will you come back?"
Xiang Chun said respectfully, then he took a step sideways and said, "Xuanshou, please come inside." The disciples behind also opened a path to both sides.
Zhang Yu nodded and followed Xiang Chun to the main hall.
This time he came to the Protectorate in just an incarnation, and he would only lower his body in special circumstances.
This is because it is easier to practice at the upper level, and heaven and earth are more beneficial to cultivators. Secondly, it is a place that can accommodate Xuan Zun's true body for a long time. It is not just any place. This requires waiting for Xuan Palace and the capital.
It is only suitable to come here after the protective palace has been rebuilt and the forbidden formation has been set up.
Even after he was in charge, he was not allowed to move at will, otherwise it would disturb the changes in the qi of heaven and earth. Like Zhu Yisheng, when he was in charge of Qingyang, he always stood on the Crane Palace and never went anywhere else.
Moreover, he himself has the duty of keeping justice and may go to various continents in the lower world to confront enemies at any time, so it is naturally more convenient to be at the upper level.
After arriving at the main hall, Xiang Chun handed over the current list of cultivators in Xuanfu and the general list of records. This was the initial completion of the succession of powers and responsibilities.
After finishing this, he said again: "Xuanshou, after the matter of the Duhufu's elevation to the continent was decided, a Mo Dao cultivator came from Xuanting. He has been waiting for Xuanshou for many days. He said that he would come down to the Duhufu.
The expansion of Hexuan Mansion requires detailed research by Xuan Shou."
Zhang Yu nodded. He understood that the expansion of Zengzhou was not only about the internal governance system and population changes, but also the entire Protectorate required a large-scale expansion, which involved changes in all aspects. He said:
"Then please, Senior Brother Xiang, please invite this person here first."
Xiang Chunying asked his disciples to invite people.
Not long after, a middle-aged Taoist priest came in with his accompanying disciples. When he saw Empress Zhang, he gave a warning and said: "Zhang Shouzheng, I am Mo Gong, a disciple of Master Lin. He is good at building and constructing buildings."
"I'm here to handle the expansion of the Protectorate's Mansion under the orders of Xuan Ting."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "So he is Lin Tingzhi's disciple. I know Lin Tingzhi's methods, and I think his disciple is also pretty good."
Mo Gong said hurriedly: "I don't dare. Shouzheng is ridiculous. I don't dare to compare with Master Lin, but I do have some experience in building a road."
Zhang Yudao: "It's been a long time since Mo Tao Xiu came to the Protector's Mansion. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"
Mo Gong said: "After the court meeting last month, I came to the Duhu Mansion to survey the sea and land. I think that if the Duhu Mansion is promoted to a continent, it should first select a continent to govern. This will be the central hub of the continent in the future, just like
The most important thing in people's minds is that I now have three sites to choose from, and they have already drawn pictures, so please keep them in mind and take a look at them."
Zhang Yudao: "The cultivation of Mohism can be revealed in my opinion."
As soon as Mo Gong stretched out his hand, the accompanying disciple hurriedly handed over a three-foot-long scroll. He took it and looked at the empty space in the lobby, and a mirage appeared out of thin air. He said: "Shou Zheng, please
Look, for this first location, I chose the sea."
Zhang Yu looked over and saw a magnificent city displayed in the illusion, standing on the magnificent sea.
This illusion shows every detail. It can be seen that this city is not only standing on the sea, but is actually built on the seabed. It is divided into upper and lower parts. It looks like two huge circles that are closed together.
plate.
It has several cross-sea land bridges that extend in all directions like blood vessels, connecting the surrounding islands and even the ports.
There are sea dams built around all land bridges, all the way to Dangang. If necessary, seawater can be pumped out to form a spacious land road for traffic.
The lower part of this big city is actually a solid underwater fortress, while the upper part exposed above the sea can be said to be a giant boat, which can drift on the sea or fly in the air. It can be used at critical moments at any time.
Evacuate the entire city with them and head to the mainland.
After Zhang Yu waited to see it, he said without comment, "You can put it away."
Mo Gong rolled up the picture scroll while everyone in the hall looked at it with unfulfilled interest. Then he took another picture scroll from his disciple and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, please look at this second picture."
